ANNUAL SPECIAL EDITION —OF THE — Savannah Morning News -AND THE — Savannah Weekly News. —TO BE HkMF.D ON SEPTEMBER 3d, ISS7. The Annual Special Edition of the Daily and Weekly News will lx* issued Sept. 3. It will contain a complete and comprehensive review of the trade of the eity fertile past year, and will show the progress the city has made in everything that helps to make up its wealth and that contributes to its prosperity. The facts relating to cotton, naval stores and the different branches of the city's wholesale trade will he so presented as to give a clear idea of the city's business for the year ending Sept. 1. The business men of Savannah cannot make a better investment than by buying copies of the Mormko Nkws Annual Special Edition and sending them to their friends and correspon dents. A newspaper like this Special Edition, containing an accurate account of tin' business of this city, is the best advertisement of the energy and activity of the people of Savannah. Every citizen, whether he is a capitalist, mer chant, manufacturer, mechanic ora man of leis ure, should feel a pride in the progress the city is making, and in presenting to the world the 1 inducements which it offers to those who are seeking homes in the South. This Special Edition will be sent to all sub scribers of the Daily ami Wekkly News, and a large number of extra copies will lie mailed, thoroughly covering the territory tributary to Savannah. Advertisers will find this Special Edition of great value, anil space in its columns can be ob tained upon application to the Business Office. Wholesale merchants in New York report bigger orders from the South this season than over before. Prosperity in the South bus come to stay. Near Seward, 111., the other day, a deaf man was struck by a locomotive and his hearing restored. Generally meu who nro struck by locomotives have no further use for their ears. Strawberries are sold in the San Francisco market every month in the year except January. If ice cream is also sold during those months the San Francisco young men must find it difficult to save money. In cutting anew street in Buffalo, N. Y., all of one man's laud, except a nine-inch strip, was taken, and on what was left he has to pay taxes. It would be cheaper for him to shovel the strip into the street. In Mio, Mich., there is a street occupied entirely by Smiths. When a mother steps out upon the front porch and cries: “You, John!" the boys in the street must have n hard time trying to docido which one is wanted. The statemmt is made that railroad builders in Washington Territory talk of sending South for negro labor, workmen out there being so scarce. If tlio plan should be carried out another exodus from the ftu ms would be the result. Ex-Senntor Dorsey, of New Mexico, says: “*‘t us havo peace, and Gen. Sheridan for President and Gen. Lucius Fairchild for Vico President, with a whirlwind cam paign in 1888.” Instead of peace the ex- Scnator doubtless meant to say war und palsy. Some idea of the wonderful wheat crop of Dakota may lie obtained from the follow ing statement made by a paper in that Ter ritory: “A recent novel sight was a long train loaded only with 100 tons of twine for a single wheat farm in Dakota, rolling west ward across the continent.” The Socialists in all jiarts of the country are angry with the United Libor Party lie cause that organization refuses to have any thing to do with them. They propose to fight the party. It is said tliat the mm It will be a union of the United labor and the Union labor Parties against the Socialists. Says the Albany News and Advertiser: “The old reliable Savanuah Moknimj News touches scandal very lightly and is rarely sensational, hut its readers get the news from all over the country all the same.” This compliment is appreciated. The Morn ino News aims to lx: clean, so that it may always be welcomed in every household into which it goes. Bowmanville, Ont„ is said to be a para dise for women desirous of entering the es tate) of matrimony, Duriug the past two years there have liven no less than oleven reorganizations of the village church choir, oil rendered necessary by female mein tiers taking unto themselves husbands. It goes without saying that the women of Bowman viile remenjwr the choir in their prayers •very night. Whether the men do or not is a debatable question The Immigration Issue. Congress will lie strongly urged at its np- I preaching session to pass a law restricting i immigration. There is no very clear idea in the public mind as yet relative to the character of the restrictions needed, nnd there will not lx: probably until the subject has been more fujly, discussed. At present there is only a lx-lief that unrestricted im migration is harmful, and that European countries are upon us by sending us their street lieggare nnd the inmates of their alms houses and asylums. There are other immigrants who are not wanted. There is a very decided objection to Anarchists nnd Socialists, because they do not come to this country to build up homes. Their aim is to make trouble, and if some restriction is not placed ui>on their coming they will become a source of great i latiger. The immigrants to whom the Knights of Libor chiefly object are the pauper lalsir ers. Having boon accustomed to none of the comforts of life in their native lands these immigrants do not expect such com forts here. They are employed as a rule by the protectionists. They are brought here to work in the coal and iron mines and, in some instances, in the spills anil factories. They are willing to work for less wages than American workingmen, nnd that is the reason that tho protectionists are so anxious to get them. There is not a protectionist who does not argue that ho advocrutes protection for the benefit of American workingmen. Somo of them insist that they don’t rare for pro too t ion so far ns their own interests are concern ed, but that they cannot consent to any leg islation which threatens to lower the wages of workingmen. Asa rule those who ex press so much solicitude for workingmen are the ones who seek pauper labor. How sin cere they are is shown by their actions. These pauper laborers ure scattered all through the mining and manufacturing sec tion of Pennsylvania. The millionaire pro tectionists are their employers. One of these employers recently gave $250,000 to found a free library in Edinburgh. Ho lias a good many millions which ho has accumu lated with the help of protection laws. His employes are no better off now, however, than they were ten years ago. The cost of living, due to these same laws, helps to keep them poor. It is remarkable that, the protection bar ons, in view of their efforts to cheapen labor, have the hardihood to insist upon a high proteetive tariff for the benefit of workingmen. When the tariff question comes before Congress again a special effort should he made pi bring out the fact that tho great manufacturing nnd mining corpo rations, which are strong advocates of pro tection, profess one thing with regard to the wages of employes anil practice another. The State Agricultural Society. The Slate Agricultural Society ought to exorcise more influence in promoting the in terests of the farmers of Georgia than it does. It is composed of very intelligent men, who are fully capable of suggesting ways in which farmers may be benefited. Perhaps the new President, Mr. \V. J. Northern, who is a capable anil progressive man of high character, will inspire the organization with a determination to do something toward putting the farmers upon a more prosperous footing. Greater in terest, for instance, ought to lie taken in tho State Fair. That institut ion is capable of Iming a source of incalculable benoiit to the farmers. It is true that tho percentage of them who can attend it is small, but it can L> made of such importance that its in fluence will ’.-acli about all of them. County agricultural fairs ought to he en couraged. All the counties may not be able to get up very attractive foil's, but every one of them has something worth exhibit ing, and can make a showing that will draw the people together. If there are half a dozen successful fanners in n county n exhibit of their stock and products is certain to excite emulation, and in a few years the half-dozen will lie increased many times. Tho State Agricultural Society might ad vise the formation of farmers’ clubs for the discussion of questions re lating to farming. Each farmer knows something nlout the farming business per haps that another farmer doesn’t know. An interchange of opinions, based on exi>eri cnoe, can hardly help Pi lio beneficial. Clubs, too, would relieve the monotony of a farmer’s life and draw his mind away from routine affairs. Georgia has great agricultural possibili ties. some of which do not appear to be gen erally understood. Her farmers are not ns prosperous ns they ought to bo, though there is no doubt that they make every effort to improve their material condition. Are all their efforts in the right direction i Are they trying in the right way to overcome the obstacles which hinder their progress f Those and kindred questions the Btato Agri cultural Society might invite the farmers to solve. Col. Whitfield, formerly postmaster at Cincinnati, and a leading Republican, has been visiting New York. Of course, he got himself interviewed, for no leading Repub lican goes to New York without getting his views into tho newspapers. Among other things the Colonel said: “There will not be a grease spot left of the Ohio Democracy after tho fall election.” It may be true that the Democracy will lie defeated, for Ohio is a Republican State, but a sufficient number of Democrats will be left to make life a burden to the Republicans. In Catholic circles in Detroit, Mich., great, indignation prevails bocatiso the com mittee having in charge the arrangement for the reunion next month of tho Army of the Tennessee has invited Dr. McGlvnn to lie one of the speakers at a banquet to lie given on the evening of Sopt. 14. The ed itor of the Michigan Catholic advise* the Catholics to boycott the reunion. Dr. Me Glynn, in the meantime, doubtless rejoices that he is still of sufficient prominence to at tract attention. A few days ago it was reported that ne gotiations were )lending for the sale of tho Now York Star to a Western editor, who was to run it as a Ic. Republican daily. Ex- Lieut. Gov. William Dorsheimer says that there is not one word of truth in the re]iort. "Tlic gentleman whose name is mentioned in connection with the matter,” he declares, "is a man whom Ido not know, and never saw in my life.” This ought to settle the matter. The statesmen thnt are visiting the resorts in the Northern Btatos will soon begin to return Pi their homes. Notwithstanding that Washington is far out of the way for some of them, all intend P> return by that city. No doubt they hojie to be interviewed by the correspondent*. Many statremen would never attract public attention if it ware not for the Washingtou correspondents. THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, AUGUST 15, 1887. Support Homo Industries. Southern cities are constantly making efforts to increase tho number of their manufacturing and business enterprises. Small enterprises are encouraged as well as large ones, becauso they help to build up the towns. Several Southern cities have recently offered in ducements to increase their manufacturing industries. Chattanooga, for instance, has subserilxvi SSO,(XX) for that purpose. Savannah lias only a few large industries, hut she has a groat number of small ones, and they contribute largely to her pros perity. These small industries support a great many people who spend all they make here. There is a good deal of complaint that they are not supported as they should lie. Much of the work that ought to lie done by them is sent elsewhere. It is said that, men who rent their houses to mechanics and even officers of institutions in which the small savings of mechanics are deposited not in frequently send elsewhere for what they re quire for their personal use. How do they expect the shoemakers and the tailors to live* There are, perhaps, .‘IOO or 400 pei iplo in this city interested in one way anil another in printing. A great deal of the printing which our business men need is not done hero. The orders for it nro sent to other cities, and are sometimes given to those in other cities who cannot fill them, and who have to send them still further away to he filled. A printer often discovers that his business associates, and even friends, who on occasions look to him for favors, have given orders for printing which could lie as well and as cheaply done at home, to printers outside of I lie State. The money thus paid never comes back. It ought to be put in circulation here. There is no use of bringing mechanics and other workers hero unless they are permitted to do the work which legitimately belongs hero. Every workman who comes here must have a house to live in anil supplies for himself and family. His wants make business, which benefits every class of business men. There are about a dozen printing estab lishments in Savannah, and it is probable that each of them could do double the amount of work it now does. The more work these establishments do the greater must be tin' number of their employes. Mut ing can lie done here as fine and in about ns great a variety as anywhere else in the country. One printingestablishment at least is not surpassed anywhere in its facilities for doing nil kinds of printing, and yet it is asserted by those who have investigated the subject that there are corporations and business men who pretend to be anxious to promote the prosperity of the city who pa tronize the printers of other cities rather than their own, although they do not get more satisfactory work nor save anything by iloing so. These parties who ignore their home in dustries would not, feel that thoy were 1 icing fairly treated if those who deal with them should ignore them and do their trailing in other cities. They should consider this question of supporting homo industries, be cause they nfo vitally interested in it. They will indirectly benefit themselves by giving what support they can to home institutions. The money put into circulation here helps business here. The money sent out of the city for that which can as well bo obtained here does the city no good. Tho August Crop Report. Tho crop report of Hon. ,J. T. Henderson, Commissioner of Agriculture, for the month of August has just been issued. The pre liminary statement is to the effect that lie fore the heavy rains the prosixjetof tho corn anil cotton crops was much above the aver age. The corn was regarded as lletter than for any year since 1882, and the cotton liet tor than at anytime during tho last ten yonrs. On Aug. 1 the condition anti pros poct of the corn crop were ruled at 102, and of the cotton crop .at 101. Between Aug. 5 and Aug. 8 the Commis sioner received additional reports. The damage done by the rains to cotton on bot tom lands was ,'ifi per cent. This applies most generally to narrow branch bottoms. The damage to com was 33 jxt cent., greater in the aggregate than the damage to cotton, because tho larger part of the bottom lands in the State is devoted to the corn crop. According to the additional reports the crops in North and Southeast Georgia sus tained comparatively little injury. Some counties in Northwest Georgia reported no injury from excessive rains. The principal damage done was in Middle, South and Southwest Georgia. It lias not yet been possible to obtain the exact per cent, of damage, but it was large. Regarding the miscellaneous crops, rice, sugar cane, sweet potatoes, etc., the repoit contains nothing of importance Inter than Aug. 1. At that time tho |>cr cent, was: rice, IIS; sugar cane, fiti; sweet t iota tor’s, iff: tobacco, 08. It is lielieved from the news paper reports that the average damage to these crops lias been 1(1 per rent. In general, it may lie said that while the mins have greatly damaged the crops, there is yet hoiie that tho reports have been ex aggerated. Tho estate of the late Dr. E. D. Standi ford, of Louisville, Ky., is to he involved in a bitter law suit. He left no will, and the property, under Kentucky laws, would go one-third of tho personalty and a life inter est in a third of the realty to his wife and the remainder in equal shares to hi. seven children. At the time of his death bis wife was a bride of just nineteen days. It is charged Ijy his children that she lured him into mar riage. It is even said that when tho cere mony was performed he was too drunk to know what he was doing. On tha other hand, Mrs. Ktandiford’s friends declare that the marriage was in all risis'cts regular, and that Dr. Htandiford regarded her with affection. The caso suggests that if n man wants to nvoid having his memory black ened after he dies, ho would do well to die poor. Boston jieoplo take a great deal of inter est in Georgia affairs, especially when the negro is mixed up in them. The Glenn bill has been discussed threadlmre. and the "jim crow” cars have been talked about by every man, woman and child in tho city. One tiling about the discussion of the “jnn crow" cars ought to commend itself tothoße who like picturesque language: The Bos tonians invariably allpdo to them os the “James Haven conches.” The Columbus, (On.) Enquirer-Sun soys that. Miss Slay Iverson, of that city, who took charge of her father's business after bis death, is the only woman in the United States who is an insurance agent. Thu young lady deserves credit for her inde pendence, nnd it is to be hoped that shu will have abundant success. CURRENT COMMENT. Satanic Pages in Waiting. Editorial Notice in Danielsville (Ga.)

From the Missouri Republican (Dem.) There are some Ilemi M-rats left in Pennsylva nia nnd they will make a stand for the Ohio platform. If they succeed Mr. Kandall can find a refuge in Virginia. Sherman and Mahone. From the Cleveland Plain Dealer (Dem.) As no man has been seriously mentioned for the second place on the ticket with Sherman we would suggest that Billy Mahone lie placed oil the tickt with him. While this ticket would not lie expected to sweep everything before it, it would go up the tack alleys like a yellow dog with a tin can tied to his tail. The Neglect of Political Duties.

But She Soon Found Many Agreeable Friends to Attend to Her Wants. From the Detroit Free Frets. It was the first time t;he had ever traveled alone, and all the family came down to the sta tion to see her off. “Now, Pheeb,” said her father, as he helped her on, “don't let any of them young fellers come foolin'roun'; mind what me an' your mother has alius told you, an’ don't have noth in’t to say to strangers.” “I won't, father.” chirruped Ifijoebe.. “Where's the box with my best hat? And the bag with the dried raspberries for Jim's wife? And the kitten? O, where's the poor little cat?” “Here she be,” said the mother, showing up with the rest of Phoebe's belongings, “and here's trie six pairs of stockings 1 Knit Reuben, and the yarn towels, and the ” “All al>oar<l!" yelled the conductor. “Good-by Pheeb! Don't forget the new cliees** in the band basket! Tell Jim's wife to send in** the racket for dyeinr cotton yam a primrose cast. Take keer of Kitty, an' be sure an' ” “G<*od-by, Pheeb! Don't make no 'quaint ances with enuybody. As your gran'father used to say, ‘the Lord helps them as helps them, selves.’” There was a lot, of them—brothers, sisters and cousins—who watched us until the train and “Pheeb” were out of sight. Then the young traveler settled down to business*. And wo all watched her, for she was a very pretty Kiri. First she heaped all her things in the seat faci/ig her. Then she concluded to put some of them in the bracket uhove. “Allow me,” said the spruce traveling man with a mashing smile. “Thank you,” said Miss Phoebe coolly, “it's kind of inconvenient going anywhere alone.” “Going far?” asked the traveling man as he sat down, and we all glanced at him with envy. “Only to visit my brother Jim in Newton Centre. I get there after dark, though, and am awfully afraid they won't meet me.” “I’m going that way myself,” hazarded the untruthful traveling man. “Why how nice! I wouldn't be a bit afraid of you.” “Mew! mew! mew!” came from a remote corner of the cat*. Miss Phoebe made a dive for her kitten's basket. “(*, won’t somebody catch the kitty for me? O. dear, it will be lost, and it's a real Maltese. <>. where's the conductor? Won't somebody please ring for him?” We all started to bunt the wicked kitten, while its excited mistress pulled the bell-cord and stopped the train. When i>eaee was restored, and four traveling men had returned the kitten to its owner, the conductor seated himself by Miss Phoebe to ex plain that a passenger must never, under any circumstances, touch the bell-cord. Meanwhile, all the onerous duties of answer ing questions and reassuring the frightened old women devolved on the brakaman. The boy with the peanuts came in and she snared him into getting some milk for kitty from the restaurant car. The book fiend dropped an armful of burning novels into the seat at last left vacant by the conductor. “Have you ‘How He Won Her' or 'Love on a Rail-car?' ” she asked sweetly. He sat down to explain that he was just out of that, but had “Divorced at Sight” or “A Ro mance of Chicago.” Then the only man in the car w ho had not been down on his knees, a cold, haughty, soulless man, with a cynical sneer, opened his valise and handed her “How He Won Her.” When the train reached Newton Centre the young lady left it. followed by a meek and sub missive crowd. The conductor carried the cat. The brakeman had the satchel. The rest of her luggage was apportioned to the male passen gers, each of whom received a sweet snule and a cordial f ‘good-by” as Brother Jim hove iu sight to claim his fair relative. As we scram bled back to our train we heard Jim ask: “How *n the world. Pheeb, did you get along with all those traps?” Anil ner musical laugh, as she answered: “<>. you know, Jim, father brought us up to help ourselves.” Jersey Lightning. jFVoin the Paterson Press. A thunder storm which passed through Ber gen county the other evening played a one-night engagement at Ridgewood to immense business. The lightning did mom or less damage in vari ous quarters, but nothing outrageously eccen tric until it struck the farm house of a Mr. Cqnkling on the road between Paramus and Ridgewood. An electric bolt entered with a bang by one of the glass windows, cutting out one of the panes of glass as neatly as though it hdi been done by a glazier, and left all t he other panes intact and no mark of fire on tty* wood work anywhere. Once in-doors it made itself thoroughly at home, and began to give the fam ily the liveliest kind of a racket. It shot across the floor, ripping up the matting as neatly as though Mr. Conkling had been hoeing it up for weeds; made n bee line for the* bedstead, twist ing off one of the castors and flinging it across tin* room; struck a lady's sewing table and scattered the contents about the place; ran into the kitchen with strength enough to stand a hired girl on her head, but ujdn't: knocked and rattled the pans around, humped a cat across the room, passed into an adjoining apartment with a whoop, modestly struck the foot of a young lady and made a hole through the sole of her shoe* as neatly as though done by a bullet shot from a pistol; ripped and tom the shoe from her foot, sprang to the side of the room, ripping off a number of boards, and then, filer playing around e. neatly framed “God Bless Our Home,” waltzed out at the window and buried itself in the ground. What has puz zled the local electricians who discussed it later at the mist office, is that the thunderbolt should have had strength sufficient to rip and tear heavy boards from the side of the room, and yet on striking the foot of a young lady did not kill her. Her system, she said, was slightly shocked, but no serious effects were produced. Her escape was considered miraculous. Dom Pedro's Joke. Paris Dispatch to London Duly Telegraph. The Emperor of Brazil has left Paris t lust with his family. Dom Pedro bus gone to t aden- Kadnn, ami i tend'* to return to the delightful city in Septemb *r.

The youth fill and somewhat distinguished person in ques tion is rather unkempt in his appearance, aud, like that of many great men. his linen is not always immaculate. Dom Pedm, when the sub ject of the decoration was broached, stroked his long gray beard and remarked contemplatively: Well, you see, I don't know what, to give him. Were I ruler of England, for instance, I would not hesitate a moment." Th** member of the institute, somewhat perplexed, did not set* the joke, and ventured to put forth a stammering verbal note of interrogation, to which the iin jierial imitator of the lamented Joseph Miller promptly answered: “Whv. I could give him the Older of the Bath" The member of the institute, like a true Gaul and a man of tho world,©*ijoyed the clever adau* itiondf tho time honoicd sally with infinite relish. A Curiosity. I met a man the other day; "i et after all, I scarce know whether, He's human, for. O wonderful! He said no word about the weather. You'll not. tsdieve the tale 1 tell. You'll call my conscleuc ‘tough ns leather; You don't believe the man is born Who doesn't talk about the weather. We walked a block or two, and when At last we parted, with a feather You could have knocked me down, for he Had said no word about tho weather.

ITEMS OF INTEREST. Bi tterine, as it i3 called in England, is used so extensively that the dairymen have applied t Parliament for a law compelling its nurne to be changed from butterine to margarine. They think that they can head it off in that way. A fioht between a cat and a fox helped to amuse the inhabitants of Waldoboro. N. H., for a few moments the other day. After two min utes' fighting the fox was so badly licked that it made its way to the woods as fast as it could run.

There are now 15,0000f them. The lot of a London cab driver, while he sits in a com paratively comfortable seat, is hard. Mr. Mat thews promised to consider the application. The wife of William T.

Thompson, of the British steamer Muley Hassan, has a remarkably sagacious retriever dog. Tho steamer was passing through the straits of Gibraltar, when the dog showed signs of restlessness, and finally jumped overboard. A boat was lowered and tbe dog was discovered holding the collar of the coot of a drowning man, who was lying across two oars. The man was afterward discovered to lie the only sur vivor of a Spanish revenue felucca which had been upset tour hours previously. The cholera is weekly widening its area, in Southern Italy and is at the gates of Naples. There is a general expectation that it will over run Southern Europe in the next two months, probably spreading in every direction when the dry season ends in the rains which so strangely spread the infection. The plague is firmly seated in Malta, which makes English physi cians very nervous about its possible trans mission to Indon by troop ships, always one of the choicest means of transporting the con tagion. President Cleveland's invitation to Pitts burg is to be engraved on a steel plate, which s to be rolled until it is only three thousandths of an inch in thickness and can be rolled together in the form of a scroll. To roll a piece of steel so thin requires an enormous amount of work and the greatest care and skill. Should there be the slightest defect in the rolls the plate would Ik* waw and spoiled. On the plate will he engraved the invitation, with the names of the presidents of the different committees at tached, tho coats-of-arms of the United States, of the cities of Pittsburg and Allegheny, and the new court house. Pere Denizot, an old French miser, died re cently in Paris. He lived by himself in an old house, 10 Rue de Browse, in the Quartier des Archive-. He was the laughing stock of the neighborhood, as be wan iere Vatotmd in rags, driving hard bargains with butchers fordogmeat and scraps. Apordexy carried him off finally An i specter of police, while N making up his report of the death in the old man's room, accidentallv knocked over a table, from tho drawer of which fell several rolls of gold. The officer hunted through the wretched place, and found gold and silver amounting to 100.000 francs and securities to the value of nearly 900,000 francs. As Pere Denizot is supposed to have no heirs, all this money goes to the State. A “monkey-wrench” is not so named because it is a handy thing to monkey with, or for any kindred reason. “Mopk *y” is not its name at all, but “Moncky.” Charles Moncky, the in ventor of it, sold his patent for s2.oivo. and in vested the money in a house in Williamsburg, Kings county, N. Y.. where he now lives. Iron , a London trade paper, says that 80,000 dozen Moncky wrenches art* exported to Europe an nually. “The tool-makers and machinists of Europe," says Iron, “such as Krupp, of Ger many, Whitworth A Armstrong, or England, and Hotchkiss, of France, with their vast re sources, are unable to produce a Moncky or screw-bar wrench equal to the American wrenebe-*, and consequently they have to im port these tools from the States.” The home of Giovanni P. Morosini, at River dale, on the Hudson, has many other peculiar and attractive features besides the museum of military arms about which so much has been published. Persons driving along River avenu° in front of the bouse are greeted by the cries of parrots and other tropical birds. In the ken nels are a score or more of dogs, the stables contain nearly as many horses, while a flock of sheep graze in tbe meadow lieyond along with a ran* cattle. One of the sights for pas sengers on the Hudson river railroad each after noon is to soe the manner in which Mr. Morosi ni's unmarried daughter handles the ribbons of the capering horses with which she comes to meet her father at Kingsbridge. Tt is rumored that Mr. Morosini has been negotiating for the purchase of “Greystone” from the Tilden es tate. At one of his Northfield meetings on Monday. Mr. Moody, who was preaching at lout ‘Prayer,” said: “Man may pray like a saint, but if he lias a dollar in his pocket not acquired honestly, his prayer is a sham, and he must make restitution if he expects over to have God hear his prayer.” Thereupon a merchant from Dallas, Tex., rose in the audience and told a story that empha sized this point. He lia-i. ho said, got dishon estly from men in his business some 55.500, and had built a house with tho money. Then Mr. Moody happened along and preached on this subject of restitution and the merchant was present. “I heard you,” be said, pointing to Mr Moody, “aud I went straight home ami told my wife that we must si ll the house and restore the money. And we did. We held an auction and our carpets, our laces, our furniture all left us. and with the proceeds we made restitution ” The mau then told how he and his wife started again in life with nothing, and how lie had prospered. His credit, his prosperity had never been so good. “Frikduicuhche,” says the Pall Mall Gazelle, is often visited by Hamburg pleasure seekers, not only because it is Bismarck's resi dence, but because of the prcttlne is of the sur rounding scenery. A short time ago a party of ladies and gentlemen made an excursion from the Kibe port to the Chancellor's seat, and ufter wandering about in the forest sought rest in a secluded spot, whore one of tje number—a lady possessing rare vocal gifts—undertook to sing. The song over, loud nmudihs were raised among the hearers, when all at once a rustle was heard in the brushwood and the figure of it tall ami elderly gentleman, dressed in plain, dark-gray walking suit, n:rl with gr.av moustache, made its appearance It was Prince Bismarck, who, greeting the company In a friendly manner, desired to have tii - singer presented to him.
