This increase of sales connected with the great satisfaction the press gave,1 decided Liddell & Co, of Charlotte,' to establish, somewhere west of the Mississippi river, a branch factory similar to one they 'have in Montgomery, Alabama. Through the influence of Sidney Smith & Co, Dallas was selected and the company immedi ately formed, consist ing - of . W. & Lid dell, Sidney Smith, H. W. God bold and J. I. Beekes. Ground was purchased and shops erectedmd they now have one of the best appointed shops our re porter r has seen in a long while.

Mr Wannamaker, the Philadelphia merchant, organized his famous Betha ny Mission Sunday school a quarter of a century ago and now he has the sat! isfaction of knowing that the church which grew out of it, has 1.400 mem bers.

The Christian Intelligencer,' New York, will receive gifts to this worthy purpose, j The great jurist, Lord BramwellJ says tbat Saturday is "pay-day, drink day and crime-day." Josh Billings hss this to say : "Most men concede that it looks foolish to! see a boy dragging a heavy sled up hill for the fleetin' pleas-; ure of ridin down again ; but it appears to me tbat the boy is a sage by tbe side of the young man who works hard all week and drinks up his wages on Sat urday night."

This is ahead of anything yet developed by this "army" ; We do not wonder that Mr Spurgeon is worried at these modern movements. "One thing I notice, when brother gets perfectly holy, he be4 comes wholly useless, and has lost the passion which others have for seeking thedost sheep of tha house of Israel. I do not find that our Christian people at all improve as workers, as men of pray er, as men of communion with God, by imbibing any of the novelties that have lately been produced among us." j A Little Cyclone la Minnesota.
