Dr. Dacosta, one of the chaplains of Bt. George’s Society, read the first lesson; Rev. Mr. Turner, of Brooklyn, the second, while Bishop Potter read the closing col lect and pronounced the benediction. A feature of the service was the sermon by Rev. D. Morgan, rector of the Church of the Heavenly Rest, and chaplain of St. George’s and St. David's. His text was Proverbs xxxi.. 30—“A woman thatfeareth the Lord she shall be praised.” “Such an one.” said the preacher, ‘‘is England's Queen, and as such we are gathered here to cele brate the jubilee of her reign to day.” The speaker alluded to victoria as ” one who, regarded as a Queen or a woman, would be spoken of with affection and respect to the end of his tory, aud of her and to her, he used the words of Solomon, “Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou exeellest them all.”. The Prince of Wales was referred to as proving himself more and more worthy, as years go by, of the mother who bore him, and more becoming better fitted for the responsibilities that one day would be imposed on him. OTHER JUBILEE SERVICES. Jubilee services were also held at the Church of St. John, the Evangelist. The sermon was taken from the text, Proverbs xi., 18, “A gracious woman retaineth honor.” In Brooklyn similar services were held at the Church of the Atonement and the Church of the Incarnation. , LIVERPOOL’S JUBILEE RIOT.

Molcow, an insane patient, escaped from State Asylum No. 2, last evening and way to his home near Gower, twenty miles distant, arriving there about 11 o’clock. His wife had retired, but her brother, a Mr. Allen, was up. The crazy man silently entered a rear door, struck Allen a terrible blow on the head with a liar of iron, pro ducing insensibility. He then entered his wife's bedroom and awoke her. He had a pistol, which he presented to her “®®d and bade her follow him. Tne frightened woman obeyed, and he led her to the orchard. He commanded her to take a position with her back against a tree. The woman complied, and the maniac then drew from his pocket a number of stones, which he bad picked up on the wav, and with the revolver in .his left hand pointed at the woman, began to pelt her with them. When she turned to run into the house the maniac opened fq-c on her with the pistol, but did not succeed in hitting her.

Seasonable Rains and Good Weather Have Effected Crops Favorably. Washington, June 19.—The signal office has issued the following weather crop bul letin for the week ending June 18: TEMPERATURE. During the week the weather has been warmer than the average for the month, except at stations on the Atlantic and Gulf coast, in the West Gulf States and on the Pacific coast, north of San Francisco. In the wheat and corn regions in the North the excess of the temperature for the W’eek has been from 25° to 70° on an average, a daily excess above the normal of from 4” to ID 3 . The grc-itest excess of temperature occurred in the Northwest, and the weather condi tions of the week are reported as specially favoraJaloJor corn and wheat, except in sec lions of Illinois, lowa and Eastern Missouri, where all the crops, except corn, have been more or less injured by the drought. In the cotton regions the temperature has differed but slightly front the normal, except in Ar kansas and Texas, where the daily average has been from 2' to 3° cooler than the usual. In the tobacco region west of the Alleghenies the daily’ excess of .temperature ranges from 3° to 4°, while to the eastward it has differed but slightly from the normal for the week. The temperature for the season, from Jan. 1 to June 18, in the cotton and corn regions, has been in excess, the daily average ranging from 1° to 2°, while on the South Atlantic and North Pacific coasts and in Northern California the temperature for the season has been slightly below the normal. RAINFALL. During the week there has been a defi ciency of rainfall generally throughout the agricultural regions east of the Rocky Mountains, except in sections of Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nebraska and Kan sas, where slight excesses are reported. The greatest deficiency of rainfall occurred in the Southern States, in the lower Ohio and the central Mississippi valleys. This de ficiency in the cotton region has probably not as yet affected that crop unfavorably, owing to the numerous and well distributed showers of the previous week. But reports generally show that more rain is needed in that section. Slight deficiencies of rain fall are also reported in New England, but generally throughout the Northern Stales numerous and well distributed showers have occurred, except in Illinois, where rain is much needed. The large seasonal deficiency of rainfall in the Southern States has been increased during the week, and now ranges from 10 to Ifi inches in the cotton regions. The seasonal deficiency in lowa, Illinois and Southern Wisconsin exceeds 5 inches, while an excess of 5 inches is reported from the North Pacific coast and the Upper Ohio val ley. GENERAL REMARKS. The week has been generally favorable for staple crops. There has been more than the average amount of sunshine in the cen tral valley, mid the weather has been es pecially favorable for harvesting, which has been largely completed for wheat and hay in the Southern States and now extends to the forty-second parallel in many sections of the wheat region.

HOW TO SAA K THE CITIES REV. TALMAGE DISCOURSES ON MUNICIPAL CORRUPTION. The Kinds of Salt Needed for the Puri fying Process—The Influence of the Press Upon the Morals of a Commun ity-Education and the Gospel of Christ a Remedy. Brooklyn. Jumb 19.—This morning at the Tabernacle the Rev, T. DeWitt Talmage read, previous to the sermon, portions of Scripture descriptive of ancient cities, uud gave out the hymn: “Fields are white the harvest waiting, Who will bear the sheaves away?” His text was: “And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my Lord seeth; but the w ater is naught , and the ground barren. And he said, Bring me anew cruse, and put salt therein. And brought it to him. And ho went forth ulo the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus said the Lord, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or barren land. So the waters were healed unto this day.”—2 Kings ii., 19-22. Dr. Talmage said: It is difficult to estimate bow much of the prosperity’ and health of a city are dependent upon good water. The time when, through well-laid pipes and from safe reservoir, an abundance of water, from Croton, or Ridge wood, or Schuylkill, is brought into the city, is appropriately celebrated with ora tion and pyrotechnic display. Thank God every day for clear, bright, beautiful, spark ling water, as it drops in the shower, or tosses up in the fountain, or rushes out at the hydrant. The city of Jericho, notwithstanding all its physical and commercial advantages, was lacking in this commercial element. There was enough water, but it was dis eased, and the people were crying out by r reason thereof. Efisha the prophet comes to the rescue. He says: “Get me anew cruse; flil it with salt and bring it to me.” So the cruse of salt was brought to the prophet, and I see him walking out to the general reservoir, and he takes that salt aud throws it into the reservoir, and lo! all the impuri ties depart, through a supernatural and di vine influence, and the waters are good and fresh and clear, and all the people clap their hands and lift up their faces in the gladness. Water for Jericho—clear, bright, beautiful, God-given water! At different times I have pointed out to you the fountains of municipal corruption, and this morning I propose to show you what are the means for the rectification of those fountains. There are four or five kinds of salt that have a cleansing tenden cy. So far as God may help me, I shall bring a cruse of salt to the work, and empty it into the great reservoir of municipal crime, sin, and shame, ignorance and abomi nation. In this work of cleansing our cities, I have first to remark, that there is a work for the broom and the shovel that nothing else can do. There always has been ah inti mate connection between iniquity and dirt. The filthy parts of the great cities are al ways the most iniquitous parts. The gut tei-s and the pavements of the Fourth ward, New York, illustrate and symbolize the character of the people in the Fourth ward. The first thing that a bad man does when he is converted is thoroughly to wash him self. There were, this morning, on the way to the different churches, thousands of men in proper apparel who, before -their conver sion, were unfit in their Sabbath dress. When on the Sabbath I see a man uncleanly in his dress, my suspicions in regard to his moral character are aroused, and they are always well founded. >So as to allow no ex cuse for luck of ablution, God has cleft the continents with rivers and lakes, and has sunk five great oceans, and all the world ought to be clean. Away, then, with the dirt from our cities, not only l>ecau.se the physical health needs an ablution, but be cause all the great moral and religious in terests of the cities demand it as a positive necessity. A filthy city always has been and always will be a wicked city. Through tho upturning of the earth for great improvement our city could not be ex pected to boas clean as usual, but for tho illimitable dirt of Brooklyn for the last six months there is no excuse. It is not merely a matter of dust in the eyes, and mud for the shoes, and of stench for the nostrils, but ol morals for the soul. Another corrective influence that we would bring to t>ear upon the evils of our groat cities is a Christian printing-press. The newspapers of any plats' are the test of its morality or immorality. The newsboy who runs aloug the street with a roll of papers under his arm is a tremendous force that cannot be turned aside nor resisted, anil at his every step the city is elevated or degradod. This hungry, all-devouring American mind must nave something to read, and upon editors, and authors, and book publishers, aud purents aud teachers rest the responsibility of what they shall read. Almost every man you meet has a I took in his hand or a newspajter in his pocket. What book is it you have in your hand# What newspaper is it you have in your pocket# Ministers may preach, reformers may plan, phiianthriipists may toil for the elevation of the suffering and the criminal, but until all the newspapers of the laud and all the booksellers of tho land set themselves against an iniquitous litera ture —until then we shall be fighting ngainst fearful odds. Every time tho cylinders of our great publishing houses turn they make the earth quake. From them goes forth a thought like an angel of light to fed and bless the world, or like an angel of darkness to smite it with corruption and sin and shame and death. May God by His om nipotent spirit purify and elevate the American printing press! I go on further und say that we must de pend upon the school fora great deal of correcting influence. Community can no more afford to have ignorant men in its midst than it can afford to have uncaged hyenas. Ignorance is the mother of hydra headed crime. Thirty-one per cent, of all the criminals of New York (State cau neither read nor write. Intelligent darkness is gen erally the precursor of moral darkness. I know there are educated outlaws - men who, through their sharpness of intellect, are made more dungerons. They ease their fine penmanship in signing other people's names, aud their science in ingenious burglaries, and their fine manners in adroit libertinism. They go their round of sin with well-cut apparel, and dangling Jewelry and watches of eighteen carats, and kid gloves. They are refined, educated, magnificent villains. But that is the exception. It is generally the caw tlmt the criminal classes are as ignorant Os they are wicked. For the proof of what I say, go into the prisons and the penitentiaries, and look upon the men and women iimarcerated. The dishonesty in the eye, the low passion in tho lip, nre not more conspicuous than tho ignorance in the forehead. The ignor ant classes are always the dangerous classes. Demagogues marshal them. They are helpless, aud are driven before the gale. It is high time that all city and State au thority, as well as the Federal gofflvamont, appreciate the awful statistics that while years ago in this country there was set ai*rt forty-eight million* of acres of land for school purposes, there are now in New Eng land one hundred and ninety-one thousand jieople who can neither read nor write, and in the State of Pennsylvania two hundred and twenty-two thousand who can neither rend nor write, and in the State of Now York two hundred and forty-one thousand who can neither rcaifcnor write, while in the United States there are nearly six millions who can neither read nor write. Statistics enough to stagger and confound any man who loves his God and Ids country. Now, in view of this fact, I am in favor of com pulsory education. When parents ore so bestial as to neglect this duty to the child, I say the law, with a strong hand, at the same time with a gentle hand, ought to lead these little ones into the light of intelligence and good morals. It was a beautiful tab leau when in our city a swarthy policeman having picked up a lost child in the street, was found appeasing its cries with a stick of candy he had bought at the apple stand. That was well done, and beautifully done. But, oh! these thousands of little ones through our streets, who are crying for the bread of knowledge and intelligence. Shall we not give it to them# The officers of the law ought to go down into the ccllais, und up into the garrets and bring out these be nighted little ones, and put them under educational influences; after they have passed through the bath and under the comb, putting before them the spelling-’ book, and teaching them to read the bonus Prayer and the Sermon on the Mount: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs i the kingdom of heaven.” Our city ought to be father and mother both to these outcast fittle ones. Asa recipe for the cure of much of the woe and want, and crime of our city, I give the words which Thor wnldsen had chiseled on the open scroll in the hand of the statue of John Gutenberg, the inventor of the art of printing: “Let there be light!” Still further: Reformatory societies are an important element in the rectification of the public fountains. Without calling any of them by name, 1 refer more especially to those which recognize the physical as well as the moral woes of the world. There was pathos and a great deal of common sense in what tho poor woman said to Dr. Guthrie when he was telling her what a very good woman she ought to lie. “Oh," she said, “if you were as hungry and cold ns I am, you could think of nothing else,” I believe the great want of our eitv is the Gospel and something to eat! Faith and repentance are of infinite importance; but they cannot satisfy an empty stomach! You luive to go forth in this work with the bread of eternal life in your right, hand, and the bread of this life in your left hand, and then you can touch them, imitating the Lord Jesus Christ, who first broke the bread and fed the multi tude in the wilderness, and then began to preach, recognizing tho fact that while !>eople are hungry they will not listen, and they will not repent. We want more com mon sense in the distribution of our chari ties; fewer magnificent theories, and more hard work. Still further: Tho great remedial influ ence is the Gospel of Christ. Take tiiat down through the lanes of suffering. Take that down amid the hovels of sin. Take that up amid the mansions and palaces of your city. That is the salt that can cure all the poisonous fountains of public iniquity. Do you know that in this cluster of three cities, New York, Jersey City and Brooklyn, there are r great multitude of homeless children? You see I sjieak more in regard to the youth and tlie children of the coun try, because old villains are seldom re formed, and therefore I talk more about the little ones. They sleep under the stoops, in the burned-out safe, in the wagons in the streets, on the barges, wherever they can get a board to cover them. And in the sum mer they sleep all night long in the parks. Their destitution is well set forth; by an in cident,. A city missionary asked one of them: “Where is your home#" Said he: “I don’t have no home, sir.” “Well, where are your father and mother?” . “They are dead, sir." “Did you ever hear of Jesus Christ?” “No I don’t think I ever beard of Him?” “Did you ever hoar of God#” “Yes. I’ve heard of God. Some of the poor people think it kind of lucky at night to say something over about that before they go to sleep. Yes, sir, I’ve heal’d of Him.” Think of a conversa tion like that in a Christian city. How many arc waiting for you to come out in the spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ and rescue them from the wretchedness here! Oh that the <,'hureh of God had arms long enough and hearts warm enough to take them up! How many of them there are! As I was thinking of the subject this morning it seemed to tne as though there was a groat brink, and that these little ones with cut and torn feet were coming on to ward it. And here is a group of orphans. O fathers and mothers, what do you think of these fatherless and motherless little ones# No hand at home to take care of their apparel, no heart to pity them. Said one little one, when the mother died: “Who will take care of my clothes now#’’ The lit tie ones are thrown out in this great, cold world. They are shivering on the brink like lambs oh the verge of a precipice. Docs not your blood run cold ns they go over.it# And here is another group that come on toward the precipice. They are the chil dren of besotted parents. They are worse off than orphan*. Look nt that pale cheek; woo bleached it. Look at that gash across the forehead; tho fattier struck it. Hear that heart-piercing cry; a drunken mother’s blasphemy compelled it. And we come out and we say: “O ye suffering, peeled aud blis tered ones! we come to help you.” “Too late!” cry thousands of voices. “The path we travel is steep down, and wo can't stop. Too late!” and wo catch our breath and we make a terrific outcry. “Too late!” is echoed from the garret to the cellar, from the gin-shop and from the brothel. “Too late. It is too late, and they go over. Hen' is another group, an army of neg lected children. They come on toward the brink, and every time they step ten thou* and hearts break. The ground is red with the blood of their feet. The air is heavy with their groans. Their ranks are l*>injr (tiled up from ail the houses of iniquity ami shame. Skeleton Despair pushes them on toward the brink. The (loath-knell has already begun to toll, and t he angels of (rod hover like birds over the plunge of a cataract. While these children are on the brink they halt, anrl throw out their hands an.t cry: "Help! help!” O church of Ciod, wdl you help! Mo* and women bought by the blood or the Hon of God, will you help? while Christ cries from the heavens: “Save them from going down: I am the ransom." I stopped on the street arid just looked at the face of one of those little ones. Have you ever exa mined tue faces of the neglected children of the poor? Other children havo gladness in their faces. When a group of them rush across the road it scorns as though a spring gust had unloosened an orchard of apple blossoms, But these children of the poor. There is but little ring in their laughter, and it stops quick, as though some hitter memory trloped it. They have an old walk. They do not skip or run up on the lumlicr just for the pleasure of leaping down. They never tiathod in the mountain stream. They never waded in the brook for pebble*. Thev never chased the butterfly across the lawn, putting their hat right down where it was just liefore. T'hildhood has been dashed out of them. Want waved its wizard wand above the manger of their birth, and withered loaves are lying where tfod intended a budding giant of battle. Once in a while one of these ehildred get* out. Here Is one, for instance. At ten years of age be is sent out by his parents, who say to 'him: “Here is <t lev '•"* 'o " • >"'n>rlb:" nrxi steal.” The boy says: “I can't steal.” They kick him into a corner. That night he puts his swollen heart into the straw; but a voice comes from heaven, saying: “Courage, poor boy, courage|” Covering up his heart from the bestiality, anrt stopping his ears from the cursing, he gets on up lietter anrt better. He washes his face clean at the public hydrant. With a lew pennies got at running errands, he gets a lietter coat. Hough men, knowing that he comes from a low street, say: “Back with you, you little villain, to the place where you come from.” But that night the boy says; “ffort help me, I can't go back;” anrt quicker than ever mother flew at the cry of the child’s pain, the lord responds from the heavens: “Cour age, poor boy, courage!” His bright face gets him a position. After a while he is second clerk. Years pass on, anrt he is first clerk. Years pass on. The glory of vouug manhood is on him. He comes into the firm. He goes on from one business success to another. He has achieved great fortune. He is the friend of the church of God, the friend of all good insti tutions, and one duy he stands talking to the Board of Trade or to ttie Chamber of Com merce. People say: “Do yon know who that is? Why, that is a merchant prince, and he was born on Elm street.” But Goa says in regard to him something better than that: “These are they which came out of great, tribulation, and had their robes washed and made white in the blood of the Lamb.” O, for someone to write the history of boy heroes and girl heroines who have triumphed over want and starvation, and tilth nurt rags! Yea, the record has already been made —made by the hand of God, and' when these shall come at last with songs and rejoicing, it will take a very broad hau ner to hold tne names of all the battlefields on which they got, the victory. Home years ago a roughly-clad, ragged boy came into inv brother’s office in New York, and said: ‘'Mr. Tnhnage,lend me five dollars." My brother sain: “Who are you!” The boy replied: “I am nobody, lend me five dollars.” “ What do you want to do with flvo dollars?” “Well, the hov replied, “my mother is siek and poor, and I want to go into the newspaper business, and I shall get a home for her, and I will pay you back.” My brother gave him the five Hollars, of course never expecting to see it Again; but ho said: “When wifi you pay it?’ The l>oy said: “I will pay it in six months, sir." Time went, by, and one day a lad came into my brother’s office, and said: “There’s your five dollars.” “VVhnt do you menu? What, five dollars?” inquired my brother. “Don’t you remember that, a hov came in here six months ago and wanted to borrow five dollars to go into the newspaper business?" “0, yes, I remember; are you the lad?” “Yes," he replied, "I have got along nicely. I have got a nice home for my mother (she is siek yet), and I mn as well clothed as you are, and there’s .. A I 11 . II 1.. _ A A L your five dollars.” O, was he not, worth saving? Why, that lad is worth fifty such hoys as I have sometimes seen moving in elegant circles, never put to any use for God or inan. Worth saving 1 Igo farther than that, and tell you they are not only worth saving, but they are being saved. One of these lads nicked up from our streets, and sent West by a benevolent, society, wrote East, saying: “I am getting along first rate. lam on probation in the Methodist church. I shall lie entered as a member the first, of next month. I now l oach a Sunday school class of eleven boys. I get, along first rate with it. This is a splendid country to make a living in. If the boys running around the street with a blacking-box on their shoulder, or a bundle of papers under their arms, only knew what high old t imes we boys have out here, they wouldn’t hesitate about coming West, but come the first, chance they got.” So some by one humane and Christian visitation, and some by another, are being rescued. In one reform school, through which two thousand of the little ones passed, one thousand nine hun dred and ninety-rive turned out well. In other words, only five of the two thousand turned out badly. There are thousands of them who, through Christian societies, have been to beautiful homes all over this land, and there are many who, through the rich grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, have already won the crown. A little girl was found in the streets of Balti more and taken into one of the reform so cieties, and they mid to her: “What is your iiainer’ Hbe said: “My name is Mary.” “What is your other name?” (She said: “I don’t know.” So they took her into the re form society, and as they dirt not know her last name they always called her “Mary Lost,” since sin- had been picked up out of the street,. But she grew on, and after awhile the Holy Spirit came to her heart, and she became a Christian child, and she changed hpr name; mid when anyboily asked her what her name was, she said: “It used to be Mary Lost; but now, since I have become a Christian. it is Mary Found.” For this vast multitude, are we willing to go forth from this morning’s service and see what we can do, employing all the agen cies l Lave spoken of for the roetification of the poisoned fountains? We live in a beau The lines have fallen to us in pleasant placos, and we have a goodly heri tage; and any man who does not like a resi dence in Brooklyn, must be a most uncom fortable and unreasonable man. But, my friends, the material prosperity of a city is not its chief glory. There may be fine houses, and beautiful streets, and that all lie the garniture of a sepulchre. Some of the most prosperous cities of the world have gone down, not one stone left upon another. But a city may lie in ruins long liefore a tower has fallen, or a column has crumbled, or a tomb has been defaced When in a city the churches of God are full of raid formalities and inani mate religion, when the houses of com meice are the alsxle of fraud and uriholv traffic; when the streets are tilled with crime unarrested, and sin unenlightened, and helplessness unpitied—that city is in ruins, though every church were a Bt. Peter’s, and every moneyed institution were a Bank of England, ana every library were a Brit ish Muteum, and every house’had a porch like that of Rhelrns, and a roof like that of Amiens, and a tower like that of Antwerp, and trace nod windows like those of Frei burg. My brethren, our pulses beat rapidly the time away, and soon we shall be gone; and what, we nave to do for the city In which we live we must do right speedily, or never do It at all. In tliat day when those who have wrapped themselves in luxuries and despised the poor, shall come to shame and everltfbt ing contempt, 1 hope it may be said of you and me that we gave broad to the hungry, and wiped away the tear of the orphan, and upon tne.wanderer of the street we oiiened the brightness and benediction of a Chris tian home; and then, through our instru mentality, it shall be known on earth and in heaven that Mary Lost became Mary Found!

WHEN TO WEAR JEWEL.B. A Few Hints that Might be Taken With Advantage. New York, June 18.—Since the sale ot the Crown jewels of France, many of which are destined to adorn American lienuty, conversation has leaned in the direction of precious sfconei. A few words may therefore not be out of place in regard to the (iroper time and manner of wearing them. It is an unfortune ie custom in the United Ktatee for women to wear jewels at all times; at breakfast, in going to market, for visiting, for every possible occasion, iq fact. I know one laay, the happy possessor of an exquisite pair of solitaire diamond earrings, who never takes them out of her oars. This is not only foolish but in execrable taste. In Europe—that is, on the Continent —ladies wear jewels ail day long. But then, these fair foreign damte are not housekeep ers. They never go to market, the kitchen in a fine establishment, is an unknowq quantity, milady does not tramp about tha streets looking for bargains and arrayed in an ugly tailormiuie costume, or a still uglier thing called an ulster. The ways of living abroad differ essentially from our own. I do not say that they are better but tha* they are different. In America women walk a greet deal, and to the promecoders i-specially, I would say leave your jewels, if you have any, at home. Nothing is more ridiculous than to see a woman in a coarse serge gown, 6ven made by the best tailor, stout walking boots, perhaps covered by muddy overshoes, and with diamond* blaz ing in her cars. For paying visits in the afternoon, if one go in a carnage, a few jewels may appropriately be worn with a silk or velvet costume. In any event, never put on such abominations as imitation precious stones. No woman of real refine ment is ever seen in them. They are only tit for the rabble who seek to ape their (letters. If you cannot afford to purchase the “real thing” go without. Clara Uanza. A FUNNY MISTAKE. A Man Who Took Out a Dog Llcene* to Get Married.
