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.
