Many times hearty applause broke
out, and when he had fioished there
yfy&re few.ejes in the church that were

I "I have been the only pastor of
this church," he began,' "which I
fpunded iu connection with other
brethren, lor now, nearly forty yt-rrs
Biore strictly speaking, thirty-eight
yars next October. It has been a

the presence of ia altitudes, that this
ciurch and society ,made up of strong
men and women,representing almost
ery unrisuan aenominauou on ine
gfobe, has for ; nearly - forty years
dwelt toother in such "a cnity that

jj . , THE EXTENT OF THE 'TROUBLE.-'
"I don't know how extensive the
trpubie ie, exeept from the newepa-
pers, and IJdon't think'' they Tmow
mluth about it either. Certain It is,
I have never gone out to ask ;I have
never searched out the . people that
were discontented. It is only acci
dentally that two, three, six, perhaps
eight, have been mentioned, and if
there be thirty, forty, fifty pewhol
ders or eminent members, I don't
know who they are. I don't care
about Enowing who they are. That
has not been nry business. But so
mpch has been said that I feel bound
now to say, and through the gentle
men present reporters to say to
ue puDiic, tuac mere nas oeenvery
serious disquiet created in regard to
me. - But not in regard to my minis
trltion, either on , the Sabbath day
or' on the week day meeting. iS
I'Noinan has whisperedor thought
that I have introduced into my ser
vices any things- whatever : pertaining
to political questions. When the
questions. When .the question of
slavery was up I felt it jrudent and
right to discuse Jalat 'whenever I
thought it necessary. But that was
a permanent thing then, with ft long-
Mease" of life, with the; necessity of
education in its train. ' Therefore I
discn86ed it in the pulpit But the
circle of trouble just now '. is very
sniall, and will by itself vpass away
inevitably in a short time, and there
fore I held it to be not fair nor pru

with any allusion to it or discussion
of it in the pulpit. So far so good.

I care for them if only the country

for forty years nearly you ought to
have had confidence enough in me,
and you ought, to have manliness
enough not to " take ' an impetuous
speech, making a special plea, and
draw it out into another application.
It was a shame for you to have done
it! And now for myself . it was
a shams for m to have said that

to be ashamed ya. my part (Ap
plause.) I in no way undervalue the
sanctity of chastity and the polity
of household life. On that subject I
will not be mistaken. Time will do
me jastice. You ought to have done
it before there was any suspicion1 or
trouble iu the matter. I had aright
to expect different treatment from
you in that matter. But let me say
to you that, in so far as my political
judgement was concerned, and my
endeavors, I look back upon them
with unfeigned approbation. In so
far as the execution of that work was
concerned,. I say that there, were
mistakes and errors, and that I am
sorry for them and apologize-for
them. (Applause.)
AS TO THB FOTCBX.
"So much for tha Now as to the
future. If the best men are going
to leave, if anybody feels that they
can no longer be e dined by my ad
ministration, don't let them - sneak
away; let them come openly to my
face and tell me so, and I will give
them my best blessing and say to
them to go where they think God
will give them His best revelation.
If any stay let them stay in the true
spirit of brotherhood. As far as the
pew rents are concerned I don't care
that, and Mr. Beeeher vigorously
snapped his fingers." "It has been
'aid widely that I ain to be rebuked
by a diminution of the funds.-,- Yoa 1
can't rebuke me that way, (Applause
and laughter.) Let cue say honestly
to yoa that I should be very glad to
have the funds from the pew renting
as large as last year or larger.for the
work and the church's sake, bat if
you cut them down one half I should
say to the trustees, 'Cut me down,
too, and cut down everthing.' (Ap
plase.) ' I came to the pastorate ; of
this church on $1,500 a year. I can
go back to $1,500 a year and live
happily, too. (Applause.) . If you
can't afford to pay that I will sup
port myself and take care ' of the
funds myself. (Applause.
"But while I say these thiags I
dcaat say them - m ahy spirit- that
neea maze yott lear i snail -nave ?to
take them back again. (Laughter.)
I Bay Bimply this, let the pew renting
take its own natural course. . Then
we will cut our coat according to the
cloth we find we have, and the trus
tees shall not find me a stumbling
block in their way. Not at all.
"If I supposed, however,that there
was a majority of the member ; of
the church and society if there was
an important minority that felt
they could no longer denve.a susten
ance and benefit from my "preach
ing, and yet did not go awayf I will
relieve them.". With no irritation but
in the spirit of true Christian man
hood I will go, and will study the
peace of the church in every i way I
can when I am not the pastor of it
But, on the other hand, if the great
majority of the church wish me to
stay I will die with you, and nothing
will drive me away from you.'- (Ap.

best young jmen in her circle, and
was engaged to be married to , him.
For some reason never made public
her father strenuously opposed their
union, ' and ' yielding to the stern
parent's edict she essayed obedience,
and the result was she became a

the length of the Sierra Nev&da
Monntains, spreading death and tr
ror on either hand, over the ' most
romantic, picturesque, and historical
ly interesting provinces- of .Spain.
The famous old city of Granada has '
been shaken again and again during
the last week, and even yet the quak
ing of the earth continue-. Malaga,
Alhama, Cordova, Seville and Jaen
are among the well-known cities that
have suffered more or less- severely
from the repeated shocks. - All
through Andalusia the inhabitants
are in a condition of panic, many of
those who survived the earlier shocks
and vhoee houses have not been de
stroyed, not daring to enter them
lest they be shaken down upon their
heads.- Every fresh -despatch adds
mors painful details Id the picture
of devastation. , The- number of per '
sons -killed is not known. Accord
ing to the latest- despatches it can
not fall short 3of 2,000, bat the. rec
ord is by no means complete. In
many insiances, awhile the . survivors
were trying t to dig the dead and
wounded ".out of the . ruing, fresh
shocks tumbled down more houses
and -increased the destruction of
life. ' Some towns, among which is
Alhama, have beea. almost wholly, de
stroyed, 'and only the most ancer
tain reports' as to the loss of life can
be obtained. - The - survivors are
camping in public squares and the
open country, .and have not them
selves any definite knolwedge of the
number who have perished.

As one of the beneficial results of
the clear, pleasant weather the at
tendance at the Exposition took ; a
fresh impetus, and of all those pres

is that jhe Exposition has taken; a

"' There is now a great deal Of talk
among exhibitors '.as whether the
Exposition will close on May' 31. A
large exhibitor said to-day: "Even,
bad the Exposition been ' ready ' on
December 1, six months is too short
a time for it to run It is probable -almost
certain that, a rece3S; will be.
taken in thesummer,' and that the
great fair will reopen next fall and
be run during the entire winter of
18S5-6.M Talk on this subject with
other prominent exhibitors found
the same feeling to exist ' They say
that the expense and time involved
in getting ready will not be compen
sated for by an exhibition to May 31.

and people I ran stumbling and

they 'were out of the reach of the

In ; those days New Brunswick -was
quite an important landing place along
the! way. Very early Mrs. Vander-
bilt thought an eating station or hotel
at this point would pay, So she estab
lished - herself in business as proprie
tress of an eating establishment while
her husband ran the steamboat, For
a quarter apiece she furnished a good
meal and did a big business. Her
place was called Beilona Hall, and the
little yeHow bialding bearing that name
is still standing near the banks of the
canal, just below New Brunswick. One
day Cornelius came 'to her and grum
bled about having to work for other
people and said be ought to have
steamboat of his own. V She asked him
how much it would cost "He told her,
whereupon she went to her closet and
dre w out from their hiding place some
oldLstockings full of specie and gave it
to iher husband to help him buy
steamboat. From this beginning dat
ed her husband's remarkable success
He grew rich by saving, and the first
lessons he taught his children were that
to be mean was to be successful 1 and
powerful It is said tbat the old Conv
modore carried this , belief to such lan
extent that he even treated the wife
badly who was the mother of their
children and helped him make his first
start in life by furriishing meals to the
passengere from Philadelphia ta "-"New
York who stopped at Beilona Hall, for
a rest. : " ' -

The American ship F. M. ' Thayer
arived at New York " port' Saturday
with a cargo of rags from Calcntt
The new law, which went into efftet
on the 1st inst , forbids the' landing
Of rags unless the master "Of ths.
vessel bringing them over can pro
duce consular certificates showing
that there was no cholera 'or conta
gion existing at the times and places
where the tags were gathered, baled
and shipped. The 4 master ' of' hs
Thayer had no such certificaf es,' btt
he showed 'a cablegram from1 the
United States Minister at Calcutta.
Collector Robertson refused i to
permit the ..landing of the rags
because there was nothing to show
that the rags were either gathered
or baled in a district free from chole
ra, Calcutta being merely, the place
whence they were shipped. .. The ppU
lector ordered that the Thaj er should
be detained at Quarantine until ar
rangements could be nisle.to ; fumi
gate the cargo. This will probably
take place at Bar tlett's store ,B:ook
