Rooms 30 ami 2!. let-chants' Exchange Buildiac, is our on!v authorized asent in Sun I'rxiiciscn. and any cnidrMCts liiHde liv him will : rccoRnuu'il. f he 1aii y and Wkkki.y Astokiajc arc i;ejton file at his agency The Plymouth Pastor. The lecture by Beecher lust "Wednesday evening at Occiden tal Hall has given those who were there and those who wore not, something to think of. Some peo ple do think: others only think they think: if mental process were possible the plain spakin old man who stood before us last Wednesday night would induce it. In general terms it is to bo said of Beecher that the world is better for his having lived in it: his great services to the cause of humanity are being universally recognized, and there are few men living or dead whoscinfluencc on thought is greater. To hear him talk is a part of a liberal educa tion, lie does not exhaust a. sub ject; he pays his audience a com pliment in taking for granted the fact that it is intelligent; he sim ply indicates lines of thought, and gives his hearers the pleasure of themselves going along the newly discovered road he points out. Those of us who were at the Oc cidental last "Wednesday noticed what good effective work he did for the woman suffrage movement. He didn't "woman suffrage" once; he made use of no distinct ive terms, but the great wave of his mighty thought picked it up and carried it out beyond bars or shallows to the ocean of deep philosophic thought. But !ct oc casion require, and no man can be more microscopic, plain, lucid, c!ear and exposition! than he. "With the great thought that come to his mind comes also the faculty of minute expression, and when he draws a word painting it is a perfect likeness and embodiment. When one thinks of Beecher, tins little petty mists of calumny and injustice that float around his feet are dispelled, and we sac only the great man whose soul is full of ge nius and lofty thought; who in the dark days of twenty years ago did such great service for the United States, whose fervent words and might' influence have been for what wo believe to le the truth in politics and government, and the onlv regret is that minds like his are limited by the range of mortal life. Ui.s thoughts are immortal, and should he die to-night, t!ose thoughts that for half a century he has enunciated, would prove most potent sources of action, would stir nu n's souls and direct men's affairs as powerfully as any of the world's great Icings of thoughts "who, though dead, yet rule our spirits from their urns." A movement is now on foot in England, says the Grocer and Canmr, to induce an increase In fish consumption; and Dr. "W. B. Richardson, F. U. S., in a recent address on the nutritive value of fish as a common food, favored popularizing information on the best method of living physically, j He says that a healthy race xan be j produced by reducing the con sumption of flesh moats and eating a diet of fish, vegetables and other cheaply attainable foods. Salmon arc among the most nutritive of fish, and it is the opinion of Dr. Richardson that fish could be made generally as nutritive as flesh meats. It seems as though some concerted action among salmon packers, with a view of obtaining and publishing the opinions of medical men upon this subject, would lead to beneficial results. It would certainly tend to the con sumption of salmon, and result in improvement of the sanitary con dition of the masses. Mk. Fuebman, in his recent uImprcssionsof America," remarks upon the use of the word "rail road" in America for the English "railway," and explains the differ ence by sayingjthat in most parts of the United States the railroad comes before any other kind of road, and often proceeds the set tlement of the part of the country through which it runs. This is particularly applicable of the Northern Pacific road. By the explosion of the steamer IZiverdale at New York, last "Wednesday, fifty unfortunate pas sengers lost their lives by scalding and drowning. Tub Georgia legislature recent ly passed a registration bill, which stands as a singular anomaly in the political legislation of a body which has not in it more than six Republicans, throe ol whom are colored. It has deliberately made an apportionment for congress which gives the Republicans six certain districts of tin; ton, un less the Republicans themselves fail to cast their ballots. It is an act of political honesty which wiii rodound to the lasting credit of Georgia Democracy, provided the good name thus gained is not up set by dubious methods at the polls. A hard fight against th bill and in favor of a gerrymi dering policy was made by some of the members, but the bi.i wiii be promptly signod by the gover nor. The Pacific Churchman does not believe that Christianity is waning, xnd statistically proves its progress in numbers and in in creasing faith. It says: So far from being gloomy the prospects of Christianity were never so bright as they arc to-day. A noisy skepticism which is continu ally prating about the progress of science and the decay of faith, hat caused us to attach an undue im portance to the strength of Chris tianity's enemies. There is un questionably a vast amount of vague, hazy unbelief abroad, but the general interest in Christianity was never stronger than it is to day. There are now more than 400,000,000 of Christians in the world, and never before were the resources at the church's command so jrrcat. The work of dredging the Pana ma canal is progressing at the rate of IOjOOO cubic 3ards per day. This is the work of one dredger in six weeks. Another dredger will be put :it work in nine weeks. Still another line of canai has been sounded for the two-thirds distance from Aspinwall and found that the entire length can be dredged. No blasting will be necessary. This fact is looked upon as the greatest importance, as it will facilitate work immensely and enable the canal to be completed so much sooner. AuiuxciJJiiiNTS for the cele bration of the opening of the Northern Pacific road on next Monday at St. Paul, are complet ed, and Henry Yillard and his party of 400 guests will arrive in that cit3' on Saturday night. The da' will be given to rejoicing over the great event. Presi dent Arthur will probably be present, as he will pass through the city about thai lime. On Monday evening a ban quet will be given at the hotel Lafayette, at which S00 plates will be laid. On the day the telegraph oper ators struck for higher wages, the stock of the "Western Union Tele graph company was S0k A few days before it had been 821. On the ICth instant, or 30 da3's after the -.hike, it reached its lowest point, 71-1- This decline of 9 points represents a depreciation of $7,200,000 during the" interval. On the 17th the strike was de clared a failure and the stock rose to ?G. The American Tinned Plate as sociation has been formed to urre an increased duty on "Tin and Terr.o plates" to not less than 21 cents per pound, the purpose be ing to afford such protection as will enable American manufac turers to enter the business. At present over 240,000 tons of Brit ish tin and terne plates are im ported annually at a cost in Liv erpool of about !1S,000,000. The new postal notes will be read' for circulation September 3d. They are now being secured in books of 500 each, and distrib uted through the registration division of the New York post office to the postmasters of the country.
