Sermon by an American Bishop Makes Peo'

Last Sunday [ went to Westminster
Abbey and heard good American SER
mon Does that sound extraordinary:
Not so much so as something else which
happened. Why, the preacher actual
ly made his congregation laugh. !
don't mean that the people roared
aloud, but there WIS a distinct and
audible ripple of anus ement all through
the chancel and adOwn the solemn
aisles. Probably such thing never
happened before in all the abbey's long
existence, not even when it stood as
TEN pie to Apollo. One of the visiting
bishops, he of Mississippi, preached
that day good, plain, honest, straight
from the shou der sermon. 1t was on
the law of service.
The speaker dwelt much on the mis-
sion Of genius to save the world. L,
must be so. All the earth looked to
the man of genius to work for his fell
low men, but not for himself. ''People
make fuss about Milton being paid
only5 pounds for Paradise Lost y
SAID the bishop "Why, Paradise Lost
wasn't purchasa BILE, wasn't buyable

too much for the congregation. For {

Gold in Nicaragua

Big finds of gold have been made in
Nicaragua, ana the steamers from that
section nave cen bringing in gold dust
in proof of it to New Orleans. s. E..
Spence, a well known citizen of Hous-
ton, Texas, arrived on the steamer
Fulton, plying between New Orleans
and Nlcaraguan ports, and confirmed
the story about the discoveries in Mic
aragus. He says he has been all over
the god fields districts and gold is
there in large quantities. He has &C
quired valuable claims and will return
as soon as he can make arrangements
TO work them. He says the whole gold
section down there is very rich and
the climate splendid. He says unem-
plOyed miners of the United States will
do much better there than in attempt
ing to go 10 Alaska. Food in Nicara-
ragua is cheap and other things are
reasonable.

NEW MENICO'S PROSPERITY.
Governor OterO Telegraphs the New fori

Governor Otero Telegraphs the New York
journal the Situation in the Territory.
The recent Geographic correspond :
ence between Editor w. r Hearst OF
the New York Journal, and Governor
Otero, will be of interest to the people
of the territory. On August II the
governor received the following dis
patch:
THE Hon. Miguel A. Otero, govern
ga number of representative mer-
chants of your section now visiting
this city have expressed decidedly
hopeful views of the business outlook.
These opinions have had a most bene-
fetal effect by their tendency to
streng hen confidence and promo'e bet
ter times. Will you kindly telegraph
to the Journal your opinion of the pros
poets for business revival in your city F.,
giving what you consider the best rea-
sons to anticipate prosperous state OF
trade for the coming autumn?
wv. r. HEARST,
editor New York Journal +"
The telegram was not answered i'm
mediately, ana on Saturday another
one was received. which read:
s'The journal will highly appreciate
concerning the return of prosperity
and its causes
Governor Otero at once replied by
sending the following message:
"W. r Hearst, Esq, Editor New

Prospects for revival of business and
for increased and permanent prosperity

The territory has been blessed with

amount it sold last year and two years
ago, and lambs and sheep are bringing
the highest prices since the war. Cat
tie are worth double what they were
worth last year. The saeepmen and
cattle rails have paid off their in
debtedness to a large extent, and many
have paid out entirely and start in with

A Remarkable Cure of Chronic
DiarrhOea.

In 1862, when 1 served my country
as a private in company A, 18th Pen
nsylvania Volunteers, 1 contracted
chronic diarrboea. 1t has given me q
great deal of trou BILE ever since. 1 have
tried a dozen different medicines and
several prominent doctors without any
permanent relief. Not long ago friend
sent me sample bottle of Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoesa
Remedy, and after that 1 bought and
took q so cent bottle; and now can
say that am entirely cured. I canno,

BOIES ON SILVER.
He Thinks Bimetallism Unauuainable at
the Ratio of 16 To L.

the Ratio of 16 To L.
A large meeting a. Msrshalltown
Ia, which marked the opening OF the
democratic campaign in Iowa, was ad-
dressed by eX-GOv. Horace Boies. The
ex-governor said in part:
ITO no living man do [ concede a
stronger desire to see this country re-
turn to the equal, unlimited use of both
gold and silver in it's financial system
than l possess. To my mind the best
hope of this nation depends upon the
accomplishment Of that end. L firmly
believe the use of gold alone as re-
demption money by the people of the
United States will divide them as the
people of England are already divided,
the very rich and the very poor, and l
do not believe a republic can live I'M
der such COM tiOus of society.
"Under the circumstances as they
now exist, with silver demonstrated by
the great commercial countries OF the
globe, with the frightful chasm that
separates the commercial values OF tn
metals constantly widening and In the
light of our own recent national cleo
t; on 1 cannot bring my own mind, to be
lieve that the free image OF silver at
the ratio Ct 16 to l with gold is within
the reach of its friends, and fear that
it would be miserable even II attain
able.
Il believe from what now is mat
ter of notoriety everywhere that the
fear of this is SO deeply grounded In
the public mind that unyield1ng ad-
herence to that one ratio by those who
| believe themselves the real friends OF
silver will permanently destroy the
cause they would promote and iasten
upon the people of this nation a per-
petual gold standard, a calamity great
err, in my judgement, than war anc
pestilence or famine, and [ cannot con-
sent to share any part of the re-
sponsibility for such catastrophe.
Gail have ever heard or read or
thought, no plan under present cir
cum stances had seemed so feasible to me
for the restoration of silver to its right
full place as redemption money as one
substantially like that recommended by
Mr.. Window in 1889. Sta ed in his
