Tho two girls irere pretty, intelligent, aud of excellent families, utss Barrett was tout to Bolcburtowu by her mother, who lives at South Amherst, to continue her education, aud was to have been baptized on Sunday in the church which witnessed her burial.

Opinions of Exports on (lio Sub- Joct. What Thoy Think of tho Work Done In tho Recorder's Office. Abstracts Obtained There Are Con sidered Valueless. The Proposed Sclicmo Will Ho of Xo Ben efit (0 tlio People. Politicians Cannot Oompoto with Pri- vate Firms. During the long debate relative to tho purchase by tbo County of the abstract-book of Wllmanns -A Thielcko. It was claimed by tho frienda of tho job that thoy wero playing tho part of public benefactors, since they wore rollovlog property owners from tho burdonsomo charges of Handy, Simmons A Co. Thoy alleged that persons do- Hiring to sell land, or to borrow money nn it, could got from the county for a comparatively uomlual sum, abstracts which would answer all their purposes. To verify tho truth of this statement, a reporter yesterday vlfllted ft number of rcol-ostato ngontß, and llrms which lend money on real estate. Their opinions of tho value of tho abstract-nooks purchased, ami of tbo continuations to bo made m tho Hocord cr’a office, aro given below. Insomuch as there Is no authority of law by which tho Itocordor can odd to his ohstraotß,—tho proceedings of tho Probate Court, tbo record* of Judgments, do.,— tho gentlemen Interviewed were questioned as to tho value of abstracts which did not give this in formation. CAIRO A ORAOLEY. k visit was first pai d to Baird & Drodloy, La Sallo street. Tlio following Jntorviow was had with Mr. Bradley, Air. Baird concurring in his replied: Reporter—Have you had any experience with V.'ilmanua «t Thiolcko’s abstract-books so as to form an opinion of their correctness ? Mr. Bradley—Wo have frequently had ab stract!) from them, and have had no occ#slon to doubt their accuracy. Wo have a« much con fidence in their abstracts as in those of any other firm. it.—Would your havo confidence enough in copies made in the Recorder's office to buy land or loud money on them? Mr. B.—'Wo never do anything without com paring with the original title, unless wo are familiar with tho property. It.—Taking into account tho class of labor politicians generally employ, would you have confidence in tho Recorder's continuations? Mr. It,—'Wo should have more confidence in the continuations of those men who ore ac customed to tho business. It is important work ami requires experience. it.—ls there any value, for your purposes, in an abstract which given only laud transfers and lax sales, omitting Judgments, probate mat ters, etc, ? Mr. B.—Well, it would be valuable os for as it goes; but wo should have to get the other searches made bysotue person in whom wo could have poulldouco. R.—lf the Recorder's office wore ns rigorously managed as Handy, Bimmons it Co.’s, would tho furnishing of abstracts by tho county, iu your opinion, bo of any u«o? Air. B.—lt would depend very much upon how tho work was done. They ought to ho able to do it well, but it could bo dono bolter by tho expo rloncod men who havo had chargn of this ab stract-business for somo time. Tbov are men with reputations to sustain, whoroaa'a political onmioyo has usually littio nr no responsibility. It.—Men selling, or borrowing money on. lots worth SSOO must find tho present abstract charges a heavy bunion i could this bo relieved by these county abstracts ? Mr. Ji.—l don't know how tho business will bo conducted yet; but if wo had not oonfldouco in tho abstracts wo would not have them for a SSOO lot any more than for a SIO,OOO lot. A mau wants to bo Just as euro of his. title for a small as for a largo amount. R.—What do you think of tho notion of tho County Commissioners in buying those hooks ? Mr. B.—My own impression Is that tho ab stract-business had better bo left to tho private firms. It.— Do yon too imv advantage in tho county going into tho business ? Mr. B.—Tlio object, I prcsmno, is to cheapen tho abstract, but we don’t know what tho coun ty will charge. Tiioro Iq no objection to tbn stop. Tho work ib likely to got into tboliamls of pollliclaiiß, when changes will frequently oc cur and thin important business got into tho hands of Incompetent mau. Of course tho peo ple will bo led to fruit in tboir abstracts, and sometimes there will bo trouble. Private firms, on tho other hand, aro personally responsible ; tlioir business success depends upon their ac curacy. and they aro more to bo rolled upon than political employes in this matter. JOHN O. HAINES. Tho reporter interviewed Mr. John 0. llolnoß, President of tho Fidelity Bank, on tho subject with tbo following result: Reporter—Havo you had any experience with ■\Vilmamis & Tlilolcko’s abstract-books, Mr. llainos? Mr. Haines—No, sir; I bavo dono business with Handy, Simmons «t Co. B.—Would you have suilloloiit confidence Jn copies made in tho llocordor’a ofllco to transact business on them? Mr. II. —That would depend entirely upon what basis (ho records rested on. Unions they were made up from authoritative docuoicuts mado previous to tho fire. I would not take Uium. B.—lf tbo Recorder continues those abstracts, using tbo class of labor politicians are generally partial to, would you have copttdouca lu the coutiuuations? Mr. IL—I would not If ho run tho oftloo as a political machine. There is a largo value in volved in this business, and it ought to bo in tho bands of thoroughly competent and reliable men. In my opinion, tho only perfect aato-ilro records arc thoeo of Handy, Hlmraona A Co. ■three sets of books aroused by tho firm, so that it ts almost impossible for them to present im perfect chains in their sbsiracts. A firm like that which the county has purchased from ought not to bu considered authoritative at all. It,—'Would an abstract giving only laud trans fers aud tax-sales, omitting Judgments, probate mattcru. and so forjh, bo of any value to you ? Mr. H.—No, sir; thoro is no value in an in strument which does not give us a perfect transcript of all lh» records pertaining to lands aud fions on lauds iu this county from thu Gov ernment down. !{.—Suppose tho Bccordor wore to conduct tho business as well as Handy, Simmons * Co., would tho furnishing of abstracts by the county no of any u«o? Mr. ll.—Tbe usefulness would depend alto gether upon whether tho information furnished by thouo books gave a continuous history of the chain of title from tho General Government Uqwu to the nolat of examination. If they do that, it is all right; hut if they cannot, people will have to resort to some one olso for tho in formation. Thoirconißeatloa will not amount to anything. It.—ln your opinion, could men soiling and borrowing money on lota worth fSOfi, who find tho abstract charges a heavy burden, bo relieved by these cheap and (poor county abstract-books ? at . D—N’o, sir; you cannot get any relief in that way. Our only source of information at tiro present time that approximates to correct no<*s are the three dots of abstract-books which ere ip the bauds of Haodv, Himmops A Co. I believe monoy-iondors would not operate under any other authority, It.—How does (be action of the County Com missioners In this matter strike you ? in il'-TT 1 toink they ought to bo very careful In engaging In a matter of that kind. They may SaSV^T? 0U, T covers the ground partially. It may be incorrect, and. being im perfect from Its not covering' atl the p?iuS. their taking U up and making it oftloiai wily aggravates |he situation, y WRIOHT * TYRRELL .

Horne of their hooks are abominably nude up. A boy of 10 could do better at the work than some of thoßo dorks. Mr. Tyrrell—-Yea, Hie Ivoox* ate full of erasures and interlineations.

It.—ls thorn any value for your purposes in an abstract which gives only land transfers and tax sales, omitting Judgments, and probato and other matters? Mr. Tyrrell—They are no use to us whatever. Wo would nut lend a dollar on ruch abstracts. It would bo simply money thrown away. H.—lf tho ItecordnrV ofllco worn as’ carefully managed as (hat of Handy.

Thoy nro simply misleading tho people, and tho poor will sudor most. It.—What is your opinion of tlm action of tho County UoramtsHionoiH in purchasing the books of Wilmnnus A Thlolckn ? Mr. W.—To ns it looks like a steal. it would have been belter to purchase Handy, Hinmnuis «t Co.'s books at four times the cost, because then tiioro would bo security, and tho abstracts made by the linn would be recognized ns thor oughly correct. Handy «V Bimmona possess tho only complete records of tho county previous to the fire, For abstracting thoao tiicv charge double, but for making nbsiractsnincn tho pa run! of tho tiro, they aro about on a par with other bouses. H. 0. MOREY. Mr. IT. 0. Morey, on being questioned, said that tho abstracts of tho firm named did not go bark of the lire, unless incompletely. Tho men bad been in with Shortall <V Hoard. As for their abstracts since the period of tho lire, he believed they were correct. JIo had no confidence in nl>- Blrncls copied In tho Recorder’s 011100, because of tho moiliciont quality of tho labor employed tiioro. lie would not havo anything to do with an ab stract that simply recorded transfers and tax sales, omitting judgments, probate, and other things. Bach an abstract would be simply worthless. Ho considered that tho couutv hail paid 100 much for tho abstracts purchased, if tho county would do the work of abstracting ns well and more cheaply than Handy, Bimmoua A Co. that would bo nil right. F. O. VIERLINO. Mr. F. C. Vicrilnp, No. 12(5 South Dearborn street, had no faith in tho Wilmaum it Tliiolcko abstracts. Ho prefort od to deal with tho llrmu that had proper continuations and complete records. As for copies mado m (ho Recorder's office, ho would loud no money on such securi ty. The class of clerks employed in that office was not up to tho proper stand ard. A good abstract-man was a hard mau to find, but. w.hon found, lio was Invalua ble. Handy. Bimmoua .t Co., and Homo oilier firms,'had tho coulldouco of roal-estato men and capitalism generally. Tho county paid dearly fur tho abstracts purchased. Ho would adviso any mau to got a good abstract to start with, rather than depend upon poorly-constructed copies, which aro ofton not worth the material upon which they oro written. It was (mo that somo of tho old firms charged enor mously, especially for abstracts going bihind tiio fire, hut it was bottor to bo on the safe side. Persons having poor, clioap copies would find groat dlQlcuity In raising money upon thorn. C. J. HAMQLETON. Mr. 0. J. Ilamblolou, Room 12 Reaper Build ing. said that tba abstracts purchased by tho county did not protend to go back further than tho fire. They wore correct enough In any waiter later than that event. Ho did not think that tho Recorder had gotten tho material to muko good copies. Roal-outato man would bo very cautious in lending money on sum security, TJio county had mado a pretty dear bargain. Tho class of bolp employed by politicians would nut, as a gouarsl thing, bo capable of making copies tiiat would give satisfaction iu tho land aud money market. MR MEAD. Mr, Mead, of Mead ,V Coo, No. 155 URallo street, was rather charitable to the firm of Wit inauita A Thiolcko. They liad had dome experience in their business, nml thoir abstract of mattois bidqo October, IH7I, considered ontirolv trustworthy. Ho shared the opinion of other real-estate men as regarded llio general unreliability of copies of abstracts niado in tho Itocorders office. Ho certainly would not lend any money uu them. Ho re garded abstract-making as a regular trade—one that needed years of oxporlouco and close appli cation at that. CORNER-STONE CELEBRATION. Sheldon, 111., Bopt. 2.—.

It is easy enough tu got together hero and talk nf tho blessings of salvation. But it's a vory different matter to deny ourselves, to take up the cross and follow Him in our everyday lives in tho world. I've often thought of it. Why is It that men of brain and of nerve about nil ol*o nro such awful cowatds in tho matter of religion? \V«> aro not afraid to Ist people know where uo stand on anything olse, but when it comes to THE GREAT HATfEII Of fUI.VA’IIO.V, wo aro afraid to lot it bo known, it was join the days of our Havior. .Mon would notcomoto tho light because they loved thodarknessbottcrtbati tbo light. Hut Jesus said, If a man will follow Me, lot him deny himself, it's got to ho done. It's a hand-to-hand tight with the world. I've heard people toll at camp-meeling how eaev it was to give ourselves to Chrial. All wo hud to do was to let go of ein and Ho would receive us. Hut I tell you it is not mcro letting go. Hui has a bold on us, ami wn must light to freu ourselves. It novel gels beyond this. The best man that overlived bad to wage band-to-band coullicts with self—to deny himself—to do what was right in the sight of tbo Lord. Notv, tlion, ttim fight must be fought out. It must be fought against pursuing a imslnoss tliat is not right in Jim eight; agalnwt hooping com nan; that ie not right in ilin eight; against neglecting elution that tho Lord requires of us,— tho tight muttb bo made. HAVE YOU DBMIEI) YODUSEt-TES as God would bavo rondo? Have you comic* crated yourselves to find ? If ho, your Uvch. vour minds. alUhat you have, have boon made Hi-. If you havo denied yoursclres, if yon have made all Hvb. you are oousociatpd to riod. But boforo you nrguo that God will not como to ynu.nud that you do not got tho light.uearch your hoartH to boo if you in all things have denied yourselves. Pm well aw are this subject is an unwelcome one to lukewarm Christians. You may talk of • Juidillcation, and of as much as you please. but 1 know tliat perfect coußOcration 1m in the waging of daily light with tho wot Id, with Hclf, with be setting Bins only, and that Ihjt per foot oonsocra* turn is perfect lovo. At tho conclusion of tho address tho usual iu vital ion wuh extended for von rn\Tim, and a gentleman rose and presented tho request of ouo who evidently, ho said, iiad a heavy bur den upon her mind relative to a young man boro m tho city. Ho was a very moral young nun, but was nut a Christian. Last Sunday, she said, alio induced him to go to Sunday-school, and ho evidently came away in a bolter frame of miud. But his condition was a heavy burden on her innul, and she bogged their prayers for him. In tho prayer that followed'petition was of fered for tho young man whose case had boon presented, that tho blessed spirit might rest on that young man's heart, so that ho might bo convicted of sin and bo converted. A man who mado a throc-minuto address Bold thcro wore TWO MODES OP DEAHIJm THE CROSS. Simon, tho Cyrcuiau, bore tho oross; bat ho horo it for Christ to bo crucitlod upon it. Too many of us boro tho crona as did Simon, for Christ to bo crucified upon it. Thoro wan on other woy of booring tho crows. Tliat no*, for ournolves, each ills own crore. If wo havo bo- Botliug sins, wo must nail them upon the cross. A man who followed naid: If wo take up out cross wo arc going to Buffer tho offense of it. Only ycelorday I wan called upou to stand be fore a man in this city, a professing Christian, who makes his living by swindling. Ho puts little advertisements iu the papers (hat etnko tho eyo of young meu coming to the city to seek employment, and sits there, in las little oillcn over on Clark street, and swindled them out of their money. 1 was there with a warrant takcu out by auu of hts victims. I told him thou that lie was Judged, though “discharged" bv the indorHommit on tho warrant, which ran,’“By death of tho complaining witness." Hih poor victim died at the hospital tho day boforo. Prayers wore also asked for a young man who had told tho brothcrwhoprcforrodlhorcuuoßtthut ho (tho young man) wan subject to a besotting sin which was robbing him of his manhooJ, and asked that they would pray for his dolfvoranco. Mr. Voukcr then asked if thcro weto any others present who desired to bo prayed for; and asked that if they felt they could no, apeak that they would himply rise. Thereupon several ypuug men arose In various parts of tho hall. Mr. Voukcr said, “ God bices you. dear brothers. I remember when I answered that question, and stood out boforo tho world. It was (ho turning point in ay career." Ho added: '• I'm ofrald 1 took up too much timo.for I know you aro men of btiahiosa, aud your time is valu able. But you must all ffud time to die. But now wo muHt bring those exorcises to a close, ami I (biuk tho boat thing wo cau do is to spend about oun minuto iu silent prayer,"—which was done, aud, alter a hymn, tho meeting was dis missed. METHODIST MATTERS. UCENHinO TEHiLB PIIEACIJEUI. A call waa yesterday made oa Presiding-Elder Jntkina, of t|ie Methodist Church, to got at the truth of the following paragraph taken from a Now York paper i A Ilia* ItargU haa b«en exercising her fllfte an l grave* os a preacher of rishtoo tunes* dunug Uio pa>t year, And biting u member uf Clark btroei Methodist Oliiircb, Chicago, at a Quarterly Mooting Juil held, tho renewal of hot license cstno up. Elder A, J. Jut kina Biimmarily stopped all proceeding* by rctusiug to entertain uer name on the oUldal li»l, or (o consider tho matter lor Utu renewal. After Unioning to the paragraph, the Elder eaid that it woe eubolanti&lly true. Ho farihcr oaplaniod hie ponitiou hy Baying that tho quos lloti of lldonaing women preachers had been for aome time a mooted one In tho Molhodiat os in other churches. Tho practice had differed, and in tho Koefc Sire. Van Colt aod others had been llconued, but lu the West tho cases of female preachers had hoau rarer. Thoro wore only two in his district. As to SlissEergh, he said that aho had been licensed iu the drat place at tho instance of Hr. Thomas, tu whose church she belonged. When tho (ideation of renewing tho license came up ho had. a« Presiding Eider, decided that tho question was not iu (he list of prapur hUHinoas to ootoe before tho Quarterly Meeting. The reason for this was that the highest authon ly which Had yet passed upon the question hud decided that women could not bo licensed. The caso in question was very like the present one : A woman had been exorcising her gifts ns preacher, but whou her caso cauio before the Presiding Elder ho had refused to admit it <ta proper to be passed on. Prom this decision »u appeal bad neon carried up to a Yearly Conference, and tho opinion of tho Bishop presiding had been taken. Hu had sustained the doctuiou of tho Elder, and an appeal had tuen boon taken to tho General Conference, which meets at St. Louis in May neat. At that time tho momentous ques tion will be passed upon by the bench of Bishops, nod will bo finally settled. lu view of the full above etaved, Mr. Juikhia said that be did not foot JuatiUedm proceeding iu oppoultton to tbe Ulabon'a decision, ami Had tbcreioro complied wUU tbo biubntt amliomy yet mveu iu rofuaiug $g allow Ilia oouwduratiuu of the question of rooewiug Mlaailorgb'a license to meacb.

NfiwVor.n. Sept. 2.—Over 100 delegates wore present at tho session of tbo National Hoard of Hloarn Navigation to-day. A long report was read and adopted reciting tlio experience of tho Committee appointed to ptcpaio amoiidmeulH to tho Htcamhoftt low, and to press them upon tbo altontiou of (’engross. Tlieeo amendments failed to bccomo a law. ac cording to tbo report, owing to tbo opposition of donator Corning.

Wo bavo no suggestions to make as to the future course of the National Hoaid, hot could recommend that rpiohtions of legislation bo mimed lo the Hxeculivu Commit ten now to bo elected.
