Indeed it was sublime. There is no
doubt that Rev. Williams is TO be one
OF the worlds most renowned divines.
at 3:45 p. m. Rev Weatherby filled
the pulpit. He tuned his harp OF prais g
and made music that was melodiou 9
TO all who heard him. At D. M, Rev
e. Tsrtt closed the services of the day
with q most excellent sermon. He
walked about in Zion. The congregs-
ton seemed forced TO say, Never
man preached like this man." At this
service Mr. u. c. Williams favored
the congregation with one Of his select
| solos.

Sleeves and Pettiooats For Autumn and
Winter Wear.
Sleeves grow tighter and tighter, and
the newest models show scarcely any full
ness at the top. An impression OF width
of shoulder is still given, however, by
means of sleeve caps and epaulets of vari-
Gus kinds These are not universally used,
but are usually adopted by slender women,
who regret the big sleeves which prevailed
of yore and gave a Fictitious bulk to the
figure
Silk and wool moreen Is a pretty and
serviceable material for pettiooats and Is
now to DO had in fancy as we'll as plain
wcaves, very much in the same style as
silk. 1t is much wider than the latter
goods and Is stronger also, although too
heavy for warm weather wear. For au-
tumn and winter, however, 1t has great
advantages over silk, and, while looking
almost If not quite as rich, is less expen-
sive than the good qualities of silk and
may be made and trimmed in the same
way.

The Passing of Spain.

Spain's glory is of the past.
In the eyes of the world to-day it
i, a decrepit nation of broken
credit and wasted power. But in
the sixteenth century it was the
dazzling spectacle of Europe. In
discoveries and explorations, in
commerce and colonization, in
naval and military strength, it
occupied among the nations of
the world a prominent position.
The splendid boldness of Spanish
adventures brought to its shores
untold millions in precious met
ais. 1t had in its colonial pos
sessions the promise of colossal
and enduring greatness
BY three centuries Of conquest
and settlement Spain acquired
title of the whole of North
America west of the Mississippi
river, to many of the West Indies,
to Central America and Mexico
and to the South American con.
tinent, with the exception Of Bra
zil and the Gulanas. A quarter
of century suhiced to reduce
these vast dominions to the two
islands Of Cuba and Puerto Rico.
What is the explanation of this
loss of power in the new world !:
Why should not Spain have re-
tanned at least a part of its pos
sessions as easily as England
holds Canada
The pathos of the spectacle
appeals to the Imagination, while
reason and intelligence must ap.
prove this new vendication Of the
principle of liberty.

Organize a Hose Company.

Now that the water-works are
nearing completion it behooves
the young men and the old ones.
to organize a hose company,
There is no necessity to delay
this move until the work is COM
pleted, for the need of a hose
company will commence from the
moment the current begins to
circulate throughout the pipes.
As far as a protection from fire,
the water-works are useless un-
less the town has a well drilled
and effective hose company.
Let us attend to this without
delay. The merchants and resi-
dents will cheerfully subscribe a
sufficient amount to purchase the
apparatus.

War AT Sea.

How does Il man feel on a steel
warship cleared for action, with
nothing but hard, unyeilding
metal on every side-and death
staring wherever he may look :?
At any instant the solid walls may
turn to flame as an exploding shell
brings the end of the world to
those within them, the sea may
pour in through the track of a
shot or an incursion of scalding
steam may boil the prisoners alive.
Ora more nerve-shocking posi-
bility yet-the ship may conceiv-
ably go to the bottom without the
occupants of some of the compart-
ments knowing anything about it.
It vas suggested at the time of
the Victoria disaster that some of
the men caught in the smaller
water-tight compartments might
have been for two hours alive at
the bottom of the sea, a crash;
then quiet; then the air gradually
growing fouler and breathing
more difficult; then, perhaps a
trickle of water through the cracks
Of the door, and then the end
