"Twenty Thousand League's under the Seas,'
By JULES VERNE.
This wonderful book is descriptive of a voyage
of 20 000 leagues UNDER the surface of THE
SEA ! No one acquainted with Verne's peculiar
and dramatic style need be told that this (his
greatest book) is most intensely interesting. It
lays bare the mysteries of the mighty deep—its
sunken wrecks ; submarine forests; the grotesque,
hideous and awful creatures who dwell therein;
the beautiful coral caves; its treasures of gold,
silver and jewels lost in Spanish ships of olden
days. Yet so quaintly, and with such an air of
candor, is the story told, that you can hardly
believe that you are not reading a transcript from
a ship's log-book. Sent by mail, by the publish—
ers, post-paid, for 25 cents.

Tlte Song of the Redeemed.
Ten thousand times ten thousand sang
Loud anthems round the th.rone,
When lo ! one Folitnry tongue,
Began a song unknown.
A song unknown to angel's ears—
A song that told of banished fears—
Of pardon'd sins and dried-up tears.
Not one of all the hu:venly host
Could these high notes attain !
But spirits from a distant coast,
Soon joined him in the strain,
Till he who first began the song—
To sing alone, not suffered long—
Was mingled with a countless throng.
And still as hours ar3 fleeting by,
The angels ever bear
Some newly ransomid soul on high,
To join the chorus there.
And so the song will louder grow—
Till all redeemed by Christ below—
To that fair world of rapture go.
ye me, Lord, my golden harp,
_
. _
And tune my broken vcice,
That I may sing of troubles
Exchanged fur endless joys ;
The song that ne'er was heard before—
A sinner reached the heavenly shore—
But now shall sound for evermore.

THE (U{EAT FAILURE.
One a:o. ie the secret of bueiaces arrange
ments, aed net entirely conversant with
business morality, would really feel very
sorry at the failure of a banker or mer
client who had long enjoyed the confidence
of his fellows. In imagination we picture
the man waking up some morning and
finding hill:eel' . unable t) meet his engage
ments, aid we fancy th..ianguieh that tears
bin) almost limb from limb. Then comes
the sheriff, the eviction, the givieg up of
the gram) mauelon, and takiog of humble
rooms, the humiliating search fa employ
ment, and all that sort of. thing. That
used to be the programme some years ago,
hatit isn't now. Duncan, Sherman & Co.
failed a few weeks azo, but there wasn't
any anguish about it. They proceeded
deliberately to shove out all the letters of
credit they could ; they put acceptances on
the market wherever is was possible; they
gathered in all the deposits they could;
they turnel over all their real estate to
their fathers and wives, and then in the
coolest and most dignified manner possible
they announced their "inability to meet
their engagements," and each member of
the firm retired to his country seat. There
ire hundreds of ruined men who had their
all in the hands of these sharks,
but that
doesn't disturb the serenity of Duncan,
Sherman, er the Company. Mr. Duncan
has the grandest palace on Staten Island.
His magnificent mansion stands in the cen
tre of forty acres; and within that man
sion there is silver-plate and furniture
enough to buy a county in the West. The
richest conservatories, the most delightful
grounds, an array of servants, horses and
carriages without number, all these things
Mr. Duncan has always enjoyed and al
ways will. If you should suggest to him
that this place ought tq a be turned over for
the benefit of his creditors, Mr. Duncan
would laugh in your face. That isn't the
way they do it. Ile has an income, fixed
and secured, enough to keep up the estab
lishment in the same hospitable manner
that has always distir.guished it.
How did they fail 't Easy enough.
Their own money safely put away,
they took that of the other people who
placed it in their hand and speculated with
it. Their speculations resulted adversely,
and they went under. And, would you
believe it, there- is but one newspaper in
New York that dared to characterize this
thing as a villiany—only one. On the
contrary, they all cxpresssympathy for the
firm ! There is little temptation to an
honest life when the rogue gets all the
sympathy. If swindled depositors would
occasionally hang a scoundrelly banker, it
would have an excellent moral effect on
the business.
JOHN MORRISSY,
The pugilist, gambler and leader of De
mocracy, don't prorse to be killed as easi
ly as Kelly and the other Tamuianyites
would wish. The fact is, John is strong
er than Tammany. lie has an immense
following of the lower classes of Irish and
Americans, and he can control more cau
cussess than any man in the city. With
this strength at his back, John objects to
being counted out as a man of no account.
He wants his say in matters; be wants his
share of the offices; he wants his dip into
the Treasury ; in short, the short-haired
John wants to be a leader of Democracy.
So when Tammany struck him, he struck
back, and Tammany was astonished at the
force of the blow. As the Democracy are
very likely to be split, there is a remote
possibility that the Republicans may get
control of the city at the next election.
I say remote, for somehow the many fac
tions of the Democracy have a trick of
coming together when the spoils are in dan
ger. But let us hope that their
~ angry
passions may be aroused sufficiently to en
able the decency of the city to have a
show.
is still wretchedly dull, and there are no
signs of its being any better in the fall.—
In fact, business men have given up the
idea of any decided change till next year
or at least till after the present crop is
harvested and marketed. By that time
they believe the stocks on hand will be
exhausted and that exchanges must com
mence again. They are encouraged some
what by the later reports from the country.
Despite the terrible rains, the average pro
duction will be good, and there will be a
fair European demand for it. So buoyed
up by hope, they are all taking in sail by
7educing their expenses and holding on
till the good times, so long looked for
conic to them again. Heaven send that
POLITICS AND BUSINESS. they may nc,t be too long in coming, for

gold has knocked of 5 per cent., which of
itself is a profit. True, a rise helps them
but as he is a merchant and not a broker,
he does not want his trade affected by
causes which he neither understands or
can in any way control. If the business
men of New York had their way Allen
would be beaten by 100,000 majority.
THE HOSPITAL BARGE OF ST. JOHN'S
GUILD,
Mention was made last year in these let
ters of the excursions for sick children,
sent out by the active and wise charity of
this noble - association. Thousands ofail-
ing infants and their mothers twice a week
went out in the bay in the steamer chart
cred by the Guild, and the days spent in
cool pure air, away from the fetid, stifling
dens they inhabit, were the only things
that stood between these little lives and
death. The statements of the health
officers show that the decrease in infant
mortality among the poor is no imaginary
result of sentimental charity. Probably
twentyfive per cent of the sick children
reached by this aid owe life and health to
these hours of pure air. This year the
Guild was able to own a barge, fitted up
as a floating hospital with every conven
ience for the sick, and every pleasant day
it carries out a load of patients away from
the heat and smells of the city int) the
blessed coolne?s and brightness of the
Gem). A better work, more truly becom
kg the name of Chr'stian, was never done
in our cities. It is much the fitshion to
pity dwcllcrs in largo and crowded cities,
but if interior towns would take the idea
of similar sanitary measures, it would tell
greatly on the epidemics which arc in
creaiing weekly this fatal season. There
is a bett , )r chance for the poor in New
391. k, Boston and Philadelphia today,
with the close inspection of health officers
arid sanitary rules, than in the undrained,
untended outskirts of a manufacturing
village, in shanties sandwiched between
the wash of a stream, which is the common
sewer of a township, and littered streets,
odorous with garbage and Jamestown weed.
By the way, it would have perceptible et=
feet on the feycr and ague and the typhoid,
that hold carnival this rainy year, if there
were a general mowing of herbage, and
clearing up of streets and waste places in
rural towns. These things poison whole
neighborhoods.
NOME AGAIN
The railroads are crowded with visitors
to the summer resorts, driven home by the
wet chilly weather. There is no fun sit
ting on wet verandahs in the evening with
a blanket shawl and overcoat, or shivering
in vast damp drawing rooms, and dressing
by fires while the rain pours against the
windows. Rheumatism is too dear at $4.50
a day. The great desideratum, as the
school mi ' iuns oil' duty always say, is not
so mtich a co-1 place as a dry one, and a
sunny one. The present is not a cheerful
s , nson, looked at from any point. The
cold spring kilied the cherries - and small
fruits. It i 3 hot and rainy in town ; cold
rid rainy in the country. The news in
business circles is of such a nature a 3 to
call for courage to open the evening paper,
and the wildest prophet had rather bet on
Tice's cold Christmas and October earth
quake than venture to guess when trade
will be better.
WOMEN'S DRESS
The difference in women's dress is a
striking comment on the hardness of the
times The trim figures in debage and
plaid Oxford ginghams that fill the prom
enade offer few of those gorgeous excep
tions in lace and ruffled silk that used to
make gay the pavement before the Fifth
Avenue llctel afternoons. Money buys
three times as much as it used to, but
.where is the money ? Women look as
pretty as they used to, even prettier.—
The subsidence of the late extravagant
styles of hair dressing and paniers reveals
the fact that they were originally made
with some attention to the lines of grace.
But the heavy silks and overdress of lace
and costly bonnets of marabout and tulle,
and wonderful combinations of traiq, over
skirt, and pouf that struck wonder to the
heart of bystanders, are known no more,
and as a result dressmakers are going out
out of business by the score.
TELEGRAPH MONOPOLY.
Jay Gould, having gobbled the Union
Pacific Road and the Pacific Mail, has swal
lowed the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, and in paving the way to take in
with it the Atlantic and Pacific, its only
rival. The times we shall have with our
dispatches, when the only wires in the
country are under the control of the most.
unscrupulous man in the country !
Heavens ! Low he will flay us'. Now,
with the lines in active rivalry. telegraph
ing is to some points not moro than l'our
times what it should be, but when the op
position is removed by consolidation, up
go the rates to just whatever point will
satisfy the cormorant. There is but one
remedy for this, and that is the placing of
the telegraph in the htinds of the Postal
Department, just as the transmission of
letters is and always has been. When
Mr. Gould's plans mature, and he puts
the screws on a little, possibly the people
will see it, and instruct their representa
tives so plainly to do it, that Gould and
his ring will not be able to buy them.—
There can be just as many reasons given
why the Government should not carry the
letter 3 as why it should not carry tele
graphic dispatches.

Camp Meetings.
HISTORY or THEM RISE AND PIio4IRESS
—HOW THEY ORIINATED.
The year 1790 was distinguished for the
commencement of awe great revitab of
religion in the west, which introduced the
practice of holding 'eampmectings . ' in the
United States. This work commenced
under the united labor,' of two brothers
named M'Obee, one a Presbyterian and
the other a Methodist preacher—the one
settled over n congregation in Sumner,
and the other in Smith eanaty, West Ten-
Lessee.
in the year 1799 they set off on a tour
together, through "thr Bo • mem" toward
Ohio, and on their way stopped at a settle
ment on Red river, to attend the adminis
tering of the sacrament in the congrega
tion of the Rev. Mr. M'Gready. a Prmby
terian clergyman. The MrGhees and
others preached on this occaiion, and the
congregations were astonishly affected.
Such was the movement an mg the people.
evidently unt!er the impulses of the Divine
Spirit, that though Messrs. M'Cready,
'loge and Rankin left tha henna, the 31%
Ghees continued in their places. William
M'Ghee soon felt such a power come over
him that he, not seeming to know what
he did, left, his scat and sat down on the
floor, while John sat trembling under a
consciousness of the power of God. In
the meantime there was great solemnity
and weeping all over the hon=e. Ile was
expected to preach, but could not from ex.
cess of emotion.
The good effects resulting from this
meeting. thus casually convened, induced
the M'Ghces to appoint another on Muddy
river. There a vast concourse of people
assembled under the foliage of the trees,
and continued their religious exercises day
and night. This novel way of worship at
tracted great attention. In the night the
r elive was illuminated with lighted can
dles, lamps and torches. This. together
•brith the stillness':%lw night, the solemnity
which rested on every countenance, the
pointed and earnest manner with which
the preachers ethorted the people to re
peetance, prayer and faith, produced the
most awful sensations in the minds of all
pre:=ent, and it resulted in the conversion
of not less than one hundred souls. A
still greater meeting; of the same kind was
held soon after on the Desha's creek, near
the Cumberland river, at which many
thousands attended. At these gatherings
the people are described by an eye witness
as falling under the power of the word,
"like corn before a storm of wind," and
that many, thus affects I, -arising from
the dust with divine glory beaming upon
their countenaues," gave utterance to
(trains of ecstatic gratitude. In the
meantime the numbers who attended them
continually increased, drawn together by
various motives—the desire of benefit, the
gratification of curiosity, and some to arm
themselves with arguments of resistance
to their progress, but many of' those who
thus "came to mock, remained to pray."
-
In ISOI the num!rrs who attended
those which were head in Kentucky had
become immense. At one held in Cabin
creek, a Presbyterian minister who was
present and took an active part, estimated
the number at no less than 20,000. At
this meeting the Methodists and Presby
terians united their efforts. seeming to bear
down all opposition. The scene is de
scribed as having been indescribably awful.
Few, if any, escaped without being af
fected. Such as tried to run from it Were
frequently struck on the way, or impelled
by some alarming signal to return. No cir
cumstance at this meeting appeared more
striking than the great numbers that fell
on the third night and remained uncon—
scious of external objects for hours togeth
or. To prevent their being trodden un
derfoot by the multitude they were col
lected together and laid out in order on
two squares of the meeting house until a
considerable part of the floor was covered.
where they remained in charge of their
friends until they should pass through the
strange phenomena of their conversion.—
lint the great meeting at Cane ridge ex
ceeded. The number that fell at this
meeting was reckoned at about 3,000,
among whom were several Presbyterian
ministers who, according to their own con
fession had hitherto possessed only a spec
ulative knowledge of religion. There the
former professor, arid the deist and the in
temperate, met with one common lot, and
confessed with equal candor that they
were destitute of the true knowledge of
God and strangers to the religion of -Jesus
Christ.
In emsequenee of such a vast assem
blage of people it were impossible for one
pers,:tn to address them ; hence they were
divided into-) several groups, and addrelksed
by as many different speakers, while the
whole grove, at times, becsme vocal with
the praise of God, and at others pierced
with the cries of distressed penitents. A s
before stated, the effect was peculiarly
striking at night. The ranges it' tents,
the fires reflecting lights through the
branches of the trees. the candles and
lamps illuminating the entire encampment,
hundreds of immortal beings moving to
and fro. sine preaching, some praying for
mercy, others praising God, all presented
a scene indescribably solemn and affect
ing.
These wectings soon spread through all
the settlements in the west, and such was
the eagerness of the people to attend that
entire neighborhoods were forsaken and
the roads literally crowded by those press
ing fbrward o i their way to the groves
As the Methodists and Presbyterians usu
ally united in these gatherings they took
the name of "general campmeetings."

Mixing with Strangers.
The fact of tnixin.. , with new people.
who have new ideas and new methods of
thought, is very salutary. Always to see
the same people, to do the sao►e thing.
feel the same way, produces a stagnant
coalition of th;. mind and heart that is
very distressing to behold. There are
thousands of individuals who might be
greatli benefited by gettiTz away fron►
home, only for a short time, to mix with
strangers, and be touched with the mag
netism of the great world as it courses ill
its accustomed rounds. And there are
mental and moral invalids who need the
same change, to get their minds and hearts
enlarged, and let in a little more of the
lights of life. Outside influences are very
valuable by healthful inlittences is early
youth, sl that they can avoid the snares
and pitfalls into which those that go
blindly often tall.
