MISSION SOCIETY BY REV. ". r. DAVIS.


The anniversary sermon of the New York City
Mission Society was delivered at the Church of the
Disciples. Madison avenue and Forty-dfth street.
last evening. by Rev. W. Il. Davis. The text
selected from Matthew xxv 40 and 45:-"verily say

the least of these my brethren ye have done it unto
me. Verify say unto you. inasmuch as ye did it

vision Of judgment painted by the hand
Of Christ. That vision is VITAL practical

altogether upon person. Here are two dialogues
from the lips Of Christ Himself. When He is

The Decca mrslins of India are among
the most wonderful evidences of the
hand skill of the strange people of the
mysterious East. These fabrics, which
are spun and woven entirely by hand,
and are the product Of obscure and curl
Gus processes, unknown to and unattain-
able by the Western nations, like the
fabrication of Damascus steel, and the
making of camels' hair shawls, are mar
vels of ingenuity and skill, and they
illustrate the poetry OF cotton. The
most delicate of these fabrics Is known
by the name of"woven air. 1t can only
be made in the early morning and in the
evening, when the air is full Of moisture
aud the dew is on the grass. The pro-
cesses by which it is woven are kept &C.

WE DON'T Know A CAsE.-We say
to the Republican that we do not know
q case OF malfeAsance in Office by Della
ware Democratic State official. We have
heretofore quoted what was uttered by q
Republican in an oration as to our State,
and here repeat it. The Republican has
tried in vain to deny IL. Here is what
that orator said:


"In these days Of peculation (alluding
to the Republican officials, because there
were no Democrats in Office in the
national government and no Republicans
in the State offices in Delaware,) Deld-
,care stands first among cipilized com
munities for the rigid honesty Of its
government. am conscious that not O
dime Of the public money has erer been
dish0nestly used"


In referring to the Republican gentle
man whose honesty led him to use the
above language, our neighbor of th'
Republican says:


"The young Republican orator alluded
to as having said that for the rigid hon
esty Of the State government, he wa
conscious that not dime Of the publ
money had ever been dishonesty used
1t il evident was too young and unso
phisticated to know much about Stat
affairs or he would never have made sue
an assertion"


Well, he was old enough to have file
very important Office with much credl
to himself, and no discredit to his State
and to have looked with hopeful eye
upon the U. S. Senatorship. We are 8
well satisfied that what he said is tru
that we publish it to prove how utter
disregardful of the truth the Republicd
can make itself.

How TO DUST Florence Nightingale
says that dLsting in these days is nothing
but Tapping the dust frsm one part OF
room to another, and says she cannot see
why it is done. A duster should be well
shaken out of a window every few min
utes, but il one be in too great a hurry to
take the number of steps necessary for
this, or if it be impossible to keep the
window open while one is dusting, it is
possible to lid the furniture ofevery atom
of dust by using two cloths, one very
slightly damped and the other dry. The
former will remove the dust, and the lat
ter the slight moisture left by the former.
Do not wet duster which you mean to
use in this way. Sprinkle it and roll it
up over night, as if you meant to IRON it,
and when you have done using it, dry it
thoroughly, shake it out, plunge it in cold
water, and dry it again. 1t is better to
use bright>colored cloths if you can; they
do not look quite so ugly when drying,
and it is sometimes necessary to have
them in sight during the process.

MAN is sent naked into the world ,
feeble and helpless unendowed with the
wings of the bird, the swiftness of the
stag, the tortuous speed of the serpent,
without means of defense against the
laws or dart of an enemy, nay, against
even the inclemency of the weather. He
has no shell, no fleece, no covering OF fur,
nor even den or burrow for his hiding
place. Yet, blythe force OF his natural
powers he has driven the lion from his
cave, despoiIed the bear Of his shaggy
coat for vestment, and the bull OF his
horns to form a drinking cup. He has
dug into the entrails Of the earth to bring
forth elements offuture strength; the very
eagle, in t.ave-sing the skies, finds him
self struck down in the m ldst of his ca
reer, to sdorn his cap with trophy OF

WASHINGTON, June 9.-There is no long
er any doubt that the friends of Senator
Chandler intend to push him persistently
from the first opportune moment as a
Presidential candidate before the next ma
tional convention. They are actively
looking over the ground, and some work
has already been done, both in the Ma
tional Committee and out OF it. 1t is also
understood thatthe Senator is in the hands
Of his friends for the purpose they have in
view. They declare that they can claim
for him with perfect confidence that he
would have an honest administration and


that in regard to all pending national is

The suddeu decline in Sierra Nevada
stock, in the face # the late rich strike

mine and examined the opening in the
new bonanza, nro to tho ciTcct ihat the
facts more than sustain the glowing ac-
counts OF the richness and apparent
extent Of tho discovery, given at first.
The Chronicle publishes the statement
OF th" Underground superintendent Of
the Con. Virginia, Hugh Lamb. who
Was one Of tho visiting parties. In re-
ply to the question as TO what ho
thought OF it, he said "he had run all
the drifts through the "big bonanza"
but although lunches Of ore equally
rich had ut times been found, no drift
hns ever been run through mass Of
ore so rich and extensive as this Sierra
Nevada bonanza has already proved to
be. Tho average Of the orc SO far, is at
least three times as rich as that of The

as rich as the Bolchcr."

THE Virginia Coroniele contains the
following account Of a remarkable acci-
dent which occurred at tho Hale &
Norcross mine "Wednesday night: ..


"a cage with six men was coming up
the shaft at IL o'clock-the hour for
changing shifts. When about GOO feet
from the bottom, at a point where there
is al irregular place in the guide, the
cage suddenly lurched to one side,
throwing the men to the other. Patrick
Holland who was on the outside, was
crowded off. Instead of falling to tho
bottom and being dashed to pieces, he
was safely lodged on allplate. The
other men Oh the cage supposed he had
fallen into the sump. Of course. When
they reached the surface they got the
usual sacks and boxes and started back
to the sump to gather up the fragments
OF the body. As they approached the
place in the shaft where the man was
thrown of they heard o voice telling
them TO so slow. They did not know
what to make Of the strange discovery,
never supposing it possible for Holland
to be anywhere else than ut the bottom.
When they saw him safe on his narrow
perch they could hardly believe their
eyes.


Any one who has nscended n shaft
knows how rapidly the wall. plates fit

which Holland Was thrown was coming

A romance of neal life has just been en-
acted in fashionable Partisan hotel.
The characters were an American girl
and her family and a French Count and
his family and friends. The audience
has been large, the strangers at the hotel
were amused, and all the servants were
interested. The young Count came ear
ly in the morning and watched his ador-
ed eat her breakfast; he staid and staid,
and if he absented himself during the
day he came back with friends to dinner.
The friends would entertain the mother
and grandmother while the lovers whis-
pered together in a corner or promenad-
ed up and down the hotel parlor arm in
arm. All were sure of a happy union,
for the fair American was endowed with
a fortune and the youthful Count
was real Count, for he had crown on
the corner of his handkerchief and in his
hat, and his name was famous and en-
deared to many, for was it not borne by
one of the most famous cooks that Paris
contained? The Counts mother called;

her! The next evening the Count did
not appear, but his parents came as
