progranimo was modo upon careful con
sideration of tho general Interest of the
country with almost n uuaulmlty of
desire, on tho part of the business com
munity, as well as members of Congress
themselves as far as they could ho con.
suited, that thero should bo no session
of Congress this summer, and upon
much Inquiry Into all tho circumstances
of tho case, it was found that without
any linmcdluto appropriation of money
the army would bo clothed ami supplied
with all 1st necessities, and that until
tho 16th of October that only ono regular
pay day has to bo passed. It was also
considered that if Congress meets hi
October It ninv remain in continued ses
sion and finish its business beforo next
summer, ho as to avoid the Inconveni
ence of the hot season next year as well
as this, and tho proclamation calling an
extra session on October lClh Is to bo
issued without delay.

by Hall's friends in this city ho had ten
dered to Hall, but Hall had refused to
receive them or see any of tho American

Hull took but llttlo money with him so
far us known, and will probably attempt
to support himself in London. Whether
tho State or city will hiHtltutn proceed

by Tweed will depend upon tho action
taken touching tho rclcaso of prlsloncr.

THE FIERY FURNACE AND THE
LION'S DEW.
Mvnnrnmnf Ksv. I. 8. Klllcllt'S lccttlro nt tllO
Conirroentlounl Church, Bbbutli evening, Mny
0, 1877.1
Thero aro n few rtlmosl inovllabje sim
ilarities In tho experiences of all earnest
men. Their first battlo Is with them
selves, about self-denial and devotion to
tholr chosen work. Their uoxt with
some of the necessary dllucuitles in the
work Itself. Their next with the llcrco
nessof opposcrs.
Wo have followed Daniel and his com
panions through two of the battles. If
they hud failed In either of them wo
should never havo heard of them. But
they camo out victorious m both cases,
and wo now llnd them confronting Jeal
ousy and persecution.
It Is to ho regretted that speculation
and literalism havo too often destroyed
tho practical valtio of these Bible stories.
By laying undiio stress upon tho mirac
ulous and marvelous phase of tho sub
ject, and being over anxious to explain
and apply everything literally Inter
preters havo turned tho mind away from
tho real heart of tho matter, and weak
ened tho application.
Now I may say, onco fir all, that I do
not care one straw how men explain
these things, provided they, jnako tho
right application and glvo tho practical
lesson all Its original force. Ono man
may believe, if ho likes, that tho fur
nace of lire and the den of lions are
oriental figures of speech; anothor that
they wero Illicit with lltoral flro and sav
ago beasts of prey. Yet tho samo teach
ing may ho conveyed In cither eao.
But to bpoud time and breath In contro
versy as to which, or whether either, of
thcho Is tho correct view, Is to spend
time and breath on trifles whllo solemn
questions wait for our decision.
That there Is a llt-ry furnace and n
lion's den awaiting every ono who would
resist evil and follow an independent and
upright coursof Is well known to every
ono who has ever tried tho experiment.
That a man who Is true to IiIh convictions
may go through life without doubt or
fear and como forth nt last with no mark
of n lion's tooth and no smell of llro
upon his garments, is 11U0 proven by u
a wide experience.
Why spend our time In Idlo controver
sies, thou, about tho lions that Daniel
met and tho fiery furiuteu Jn which his
friends wero tried, when smaller dangers
than lion's dons frighten us away from
duty, and somo of us itroriouowaidly that
we would sooner skulk through llln at a
sacrifice of all manly principle than lo
bear tho Jests and sneers of a companion.
What wo need to real 10 Is that It Is
bettor to burn out tho lios.s than to lose
the gold, better to dwall with God amid
the htcucfi and darkue- ot 11 wild beast's
deli than to walk with mon In tho gla
mour and show of a I'll-u and pusillan
imous life.
