Special Correspondence of Tho Tribune Liverpool, July O.-Flushed with ex pectation of seeing- creat wonders, I left my state room and sought the deck on our arrival at Uverpool. I stood on "board during those happy moments, EazlnR around mo with all tho glow of vlBlon at my command. Tho scones before and around attracted attention, not merely as being new, but decidedly foreign. I felt that I was far from Wnmn nnri in a strange country. All things seemed to differ In some way or other from what I had before seen. Of course like materials and colors had been familiar but not In tho form and hue they were now exhibited to my observation. Onco oft the ship no description can be rendered of tho confusion which was soon witnessed In th'e custom house. No property could scarcely bo estimated as more worthless than tho Immense trunks and packages now ex posed to view, yet, each Individual guarded his or her own with tho great est vigilance until, as usual, the custom officer demanded tho right to a knowl edge of the contents. After an assur ance that all was right, wo proceoded to our headquarters at Liverpool. "Whllo he-re I 3aw many things to admire. In the first place the docks are much bet ter than those of New York; then Llmo stieet station Is an Immense structure. After leaving this station (to which we had accompanied Mrs. Henry Thomas and son, of our city, on their departure for South Wales) wo wend ed our way through the streets of Liv erpool, seeing what wo could of its beauties. EXCURSIONS ABOUT LIVERPOOL. St. Johns and St. Paul's churches and their surroundings are superb. They have the moat beautiful yards I over beheld; they are one mass of ever green and flowers, growing above the dead, for I am told that these yards were at one time burying grounds. Near St. John's ixhurch Is St. George's hall and tho muHum. Once inside of the museum the scene was marvelous beyond description, and could I de scribe It time and space would not al low. One of the most charming scenes was at St. John's market. Such an abundance of flowers, fruit and veget ables were most beautiful to look up on. After visiting Lewis's dry goods establishment we went to Lime street station and took tho train for Swansea. I cannot say that I admire their "car riages" (as thev call them here) as I do our coaches; they are too lonely; just place for six or eight persons and closed in at that, but I must admit that the scenery along the line made up tne deficiency. It seemed as though nature was showing forth In all Its glory. Mile after mile of green hedge cither side of the train, large fields divided by a green hedge, and even the lillls were cultivated to the very ton. I shall never forset th scene. The green fields of Jersey are beautiful but the fields of Wales are more beautiful. The mountains of Wales are not equal to those of America; they are so bare, they look as though they had outlived everything green. AT SWANSEA. After passing several stations of such names as Llandrlndod, Llangamarch, Llanwrtyd, Llandovery nnd Llandllo, we came to Swansea Bay, at which wo allchted and found Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Morgan (Mrs. Davis' father, who Is a retired gentleman) awaiting us with a carriage which we entered and were swiftly driven to their homo which Is a beautiful one on one of the principal streets of Swansea called Gorso Lane. And their hospitality is beyond measure. They leave nothing undone that will add to our pleasure. Being quite fatigued after our long journey we did not go out until Sunday evening, when we attended "Chapel Gomer" and were surprised to see and hear the Rev. Gwllym Evans, of New York, brother of Dr. Fred Evans, who Is 111 at Llandabie. After an excellent sermon by Mr. Evans, the Rev. Gomer Lewis, pastor of the church, baptized seyen persons by Immersion In tha presence of a large congregation, after which he gave an invitation to any one who wished to be baptized to come forward as he had authority to do so. Immediately a young man from the audience came forward, took off his coat, and on profession of his faith was baptized. There was great ex citement throughout tho proceedings. A SCRANTON FRIEND. While sitting there my friend, Mrs. Davis, told me to look across the church and who did I see but our old friend and townsman, T. H. Jones of the Star drug store. It did seem so good to see ono face that we knew among all those strangers. Mr. and MrB. Jones are very nicely located and have a lovely home and to all appear ance are very happy. I had a Very pleasant visit with them. Swansea la a large town but very ancient in ap pearance. In some places the row after row of houses have a somewhat mo notonous effect, especially In the dis tance, but as you draw near theni there Is a different aspect. They appear mine mo wnoie jengtti of the street but as you pass along there is a vast difference In the front yards. As a general rule the houses open right on to the street. Of course there ara re ceptions, but as I said there is a dlf. ferenco In the yards. Some are un cultivated and wild-looking, but gen erally they are beautiful. Just this minute I can look out through the win dow Into a bower of evergreen and ferns and this never ending hedge, and as, most of tho houses have large windows In the front you will find l;i them beautiful plants. The peopU of this country seem to take more prido in cultivating the soil than tho people of America. They do not live in such a hurry hero aa there. Everywhere you turn you can see green trees, Bhrub bery or flowers of all kinds, and you need notjwalk far In any direction to find a park In whoso shado you can while awny the hours. After tiring of these you) can wend your way to thy sea shore called Swansea bay. NOT) LIKE OCEAN GROVE. It is counted ono of the most exten- nlvo sandls In the country, but to my fancy It la not to be compared with Ocean Grove. It lias not the conven iences. Instead of a pavllllon with bath accommodations thoy havo what they call bathing vans. They are sort of a covered wagan, drawn to tho water's edge by a horse. In It you don your bathing suit and from there pass lntolnto the restless sea. It Is a beauti ful bathing place. Tho sand Is so level that tho bathers can go out a great dis tance without danger. Ono of tho greatest treats of our visit was an excursion to Ilfracombe. Oh, It was just delightful. Wo were on sea about four hours. By the way we are beginning to think ourselves very good sailors. We have not been troubled In tho least with sea sickness. Although wo were on)y four hours on sea, wo saw more sick people than we did through all our journey across the Atlantic. but to return to my subject: Really words fall to express the beauty of Ilfracombe. It did seem to me could I live here a hundred yenrs, I would not tire of this most beautiful town. It looks like a conservatory as far as cultivation of flowers Is concerned. The Victoria pavllllon Is all glass, tho In side of which Is a bower of evergreen, festooned overhead and all around the walls, In the centre a large platfotm on which concerts and other entertain ments nro held. There Is a brass band playing continually. It is really mag nificent. Tho streets of Ilfracombe remind me of the streets of Boston. They nro vpry Irregular and narrow, In sonvs places not exceeding six feet In width. It Is quite ancient in appearance, but the profusion of flowers in every nook and corner makes it exquisite beyond de scription. One of tho many pleasures of tho visitor Is a drive through the town In cab or carriage. I would al most term this town "Tho Dream of the Artist." So much at present foi Swansea and surroundings. (Morfudd.) WELSH NEWS NOTES. Tho results of the Cymro plebiscite, giving the names of the fifteen most popular preachers In Wales at the pres ent time, has led a correspondent to compare It with a list of twelve popular preachers compiled by the readers of a South Wales paper many years ago. Only four of th'e twelve survive today, viz, Principal T. Charles Edwards, Eg lwysbach, Rev. Osslan Davles, and Dr. Cynddylan Jones. The two last names are ommltted from the present list. It Is a curious coincidence that tho Cymro plebiscite includes the names of three ministers who succeed ed to the pastorates occupied by minis ters whose names figured In the old list of the twelve referred to. Thus the Rev. Wm. Pryddrech Is the successor of Dr. Saunders; Rev. Charles Davles, Cardiff, of Nathaniel Thomas; Rev. John Wlllams, of Dr. Owen Thomas, Liverpool. Three of the "biggest" men (in more than ono sense) of their respective de nominations happen Just now to bo lo cated as pastors of Important churches In Carnarvon. Dr. Owen Davles, Bap tist; Rev. Stanley Jones, Congregatlon allst; ad the Rev. Hugh Hughes, Wesleyan, are each over six feet high out of the pulpit as well as In it. "Do you know, gentlemen," said the Rev. Evan Jones, Moriah, who is almost as broad in body as ho Is in mind, ad dressing his three colleagues on the street tho other day, "do you know, gentlemen.that you have mistaken your vocation?" They looked th'reo notes of Interrogation down upon him. "You ought to have enlisted in the Life Guards." "So wo have," replied Dr. Owen Davles, "In the everlasting Life Guards." The current number of the Iron and Coal Trades Review contains a well written, illustrative article on the coal and iron industries of South Wales. The development of these Industries is correctly described as "a very wonder ful tale." In a leading article the edit or says: "Gladstone at one time de scribed a leading North country town as tht youngest child of England's en terprise. That description was no doubt justly merited, but no North-country town can point to such a career of uninterrupted expansion as Cardiff, and no community can more proudly claim that they have done great things In their day and generation than can tho people of South Wales."

Yet, perhaps, on the whole you might as well look It over, for your sister or your dearest friend has all the symp toms I have spoken of and a dozen be sides, and you might like to tell her how to go about strengthening her nerves and becoming a happier wo man. The worst of It is, sho will prob ably laugh at you If you do. It Is mar velous how much pain, discomfort, lan guor and general mlserableness the average woman will endure as a mat ter of course. Sho does not consider It her right even to bo well. She admits cheerfully that she Is always tired; but she has great faith In her will, and abiding confidence In the power of mind over matter. This poor average woman, let us abuse her as much as wo like. She Is powerless to retaliate. She Is the orig inal of a composite photograph an idea, a type. Let us pummel her and advise her; let us show her her faults and preach to her also of some of her virtues which have grown so arrogant and overtopping that they must be closely trimmed and brought Into some kind of symmetry and order. MISDIRECTED AMBITION. There Is her ambition, or Instance; It was onco a healthy, useful virtue, but of lato it has grown so tremen dously that it threatens to injure every plant In the garden and take nil tho goodness out of the soil. Low-creeping humility and E't' little cheerfulness and all the other homo-like, old-fashioned flowers have become pale, and do rot thrive because amblllon keeps the sun off them and crowds their roots. Then there Is love of approbation; It is an attractive vine, but one does not llko It running everywhere and fasten ing Its tendrils all over plants of ten times its value and beauty. But meta. phors are dangerous, and let u come down to plain English nnd say that the Ideals of the average woman are wrong. She Is trying to see how much she can do; If her body, Ivr nerves, her disposition suffers, that must be borne. She has never taken to herself the wise saying of Emfrson: "Your life Is for itself, not for a spectacle." She surrounds herself with a thousand llttlo clamoring duties, and she forgets her great duty; she forgets that in no other way can she benefit tho world Sunday Sclool Lesson for August 15. - -, Abste5e3eg for tlhe Sake I. Cor. VIII, 31-13. BY Secretary of INTRODUCTION. Scholars are gener ally agreed that Paul's first epistle to tho Corinthians was written from Ephesus, about A. D. 62, or threo years after his first lotter to tho Thessalonians, in which our last lesson occurred. Before begin ning tho study of the present passage, ono not only needs to read the context, from tho opAlng of the seventh chapter, but also to learn tho historic sotting by referring to Acts xvlli, 1-19. It will thus appear that the apostle is giving in this part of this letter instruction on several points about which questions had been raised (I Corinthians, vli, 1.) These ques tions involved many matters of a domes tic and personal character wherein Chris tianity was distinguished from heathen ism. This eighth chapter touches a sub ject which greatly agitated the apostolic church may Christians eat meat that had previously been offered to idols? The reply could not bo made in a simple af firmative or negative without hurting somo one. The treatment given was calm and dlgnlllcd, considerate and satisfactory. KNOWLEDGE. Paul seeks at tho out set to lift the discussion out of tho realm of mero Tuiowledge (verses 1 and 2.) He was tho last man to dlsparago the intel lectual Investigation of a matter on tho contrary, he alwas urged his people to uso their reasons (I Thessalonians, v, 21.) And hero he calls attention to tho fact that "all have knowledge" on this point, as wa.s indeed true, for tho apostle at Jerusalem several years before had sent a circular letter to the churches, that was both explicit and final. (Acts, xv, 29.) Somo men would have fallen back on that utterance and closed the debate with few words. But Paul felt that such a course would 'be dangerous. Ho refers to the fact that "knowledge alone puffeth up," believing that whllo those who held tho view In harmony with tho canon might be satisfied, they would also bo Injured by triumphing over others. To remove all conceit from any mind and to save tho church from dogmatism and legal Ism, hedeclares that if "any man thinks he knows anything," absolutely and thor oughly ho Is deceived, and "knows noth ing as he ought to know It." (Galatlans, vl, 3.) All knowledge is partial (I Corinth ians, xlll, 9) and thercforo an inadequate basis in Itself for action, CHARITY. How then shall this ques tion be decided? If not by the commands of the original founders of the church, sitting at Jerusalem, and publishing the mind of the Holy Ghost (Acts xv, 23), then by what standard? Paul does not leave tho Corinthians long In doubt. He shows that another element must ho brought in without which no correct con clusion would ba possible, and that ele ment wa? oharlty (verse ), which, further on, ho commends as superior to all other virtues. (I Corinthians, xlll, 13.) Does a man love God? If so, Ood recognizes him as his child, whether tho man eats meat offered to idols or refrains. It follows that all who love God, whatever the-lr practice In this matter, whatever their opinions about it, must regard each other as brethren in a common household. This Is a plain and bold utterance of the es sence of Christianity (Matthew, xxil, 37 40) as taught by the Master, to be re garded before all commands. It Is not in tended to depreciate knowledge, but to exalt love, or rather adjust and confirm knowledge In tho spirit of love. There is no other way to com to the truth. 1 IDOIJATItY.-Havlnsr thus Introduced so much, as being ft Bane, well-balanced, healthy, helpful woman. And now, having gotten up our spir its by a lively attack on tho poor, long suffering average woman, let us con elder the way of salvation; let us consider how to husband what nervous power wo havo and how to Increase our stock. This nervous powr In the es. Denco of protoplasm! It Is life, happi ness. Each human being who has not a good surplus of It Is In danger of complete collapse, In danger of that horrlblo bankruptcy, which we hear bo much of In this, last quarter of tho Nineteenth century nervous prostra tion. WASTE OF ENERGY. Our fathers had a maxim which we ought to bolearnlng to discard: "What ever you do, do It with your might." Let us put In Its place, "Whatever you do, do It as easily as you can." It Is pitiable, the power that Is wasted on trifles. Strangely enough, the less nerve force a person posseses tho more lavish she Is In Its expenditure. Don't you know tho woman who can never rest? Sho actually Is Idle with all her might. Finding herself with twenty minutes to wait In the railway station she holds herself tense and rigid, with something like the aspect of a cat watching a mouse, ready to spring at any moment. By the time her train comes and her Journey begins she is as tired as she ought to bo when it is done, and so It goes on all through the day. This sort of woman talks with her neck and shoulders and half the muscles In her body; she listens labori ously; even when she Is asleep she does not let go of herself. What con stant waste of powerl When tho great emergency comes she Is useless; she has no reserve force to fall back on. She has exhausted all her enegy on a morning call, and she has none left when It Is a matter of life and death. Tho great workers have been usually the great resters. Napoleon went to sleep In the middle of a battle. Fidg etiness Is feebleness. The Delsarte sys tem Is not merely a fashionable fad; It teaches an Important truth, that "at the back of every action there should be a great repose," We need not em ploy steam engines to kill mosquitoes. We ore horrible spendthrifts of nervous power. We do our work three times, anticipating it beforehand, dwelling on Its difficulties afterward, and when we are actually at It doing It In the hard est possible way. Overwork and worry exhaust the nerves, but overwork Is half the time unnecessary work. FASHIONS AT NEWPORT. WrajsA Dinner DressYachting and Hathlng SultsJewelryHalr" DrcsslDg'-liosIery.

GILBERT, D. D., IX. D., American Society ctf Religious Education. tho primary nnd vital principle of the Christian religion, to remove the heat of debate snd to prepare for a brotherly examination df the subject, Paul next considers tho nature of Idolatrous wor ship verses 4 and C.) "An Idol is noth ing," ho declares, a3 all Christians know, a mere fcrm constructed by men for wor ship. (Isaiah, xllv, 17-18.) Tho follower of Jesus knows that there Is but "ono God tho Father, . whom are all things." (Acts xvil, 2S), and "ono Lord, Jesus Christ." Hence, the servlco paid to Idols Is mere folly. (Acts xlv, 15.) It will appear that this teaching would have a double bearing upon tho question in hand. For, if tho idol was nothing, meat of fered to him was In no wise affected thereby, and he who might afterward eat of It would be uninjured. Besides, by eating it the samo as any other flesh, tho Christian might virtually declare to the heathen about him that he had no regard whatever for hta foolish and ptofltless exercises. CONSCIENCE.-Tho logic of the last paragraph leads inevitably to the conclu sion that meat offered to idols might be eaten. Immediately the question must have been revised by many, why then the early apostolic prohibition? Tho reason may be found in the apostle's next words. (Verso 7.) Every man does not know what he has Just said. Some have more serious views of Idolatry. They think of It as fi syMem of falso worship, which has been forbidden in Scripture. (Exodus xx, 6.) Such persons could not enter Into any part of that worship without com punctions of conscience. If they were to eat the meat offered to idols In sacrltlco their consciences would bo defiled and they would feel condemned. It Is plain, therefore, that such reople ought not to eat. And It was, doubtless, for the benefit of these persons that the council at Jerusalem gave its decision and sent out its letters. It was n. prudential regu lation for the week and not an Item in morals, a temporary and not a perma nent rulo. PRINCIPLE. Tho apostle has now struck tho very heart of the subject, showing how tho two opinions and con sequent controversy might arise. The su perior knowledgo of the one class stands over against the inferior knowledge of tho other class, tho ono allowing and the other denying tho practice, but neither able to claim any advantage over the other or profit to himself. (Verse 8.) Whether they eat or do not eat, they are neither better nor worse, for meat does not commend any one to the favor of God. (Romans xlv, 17.) Seldom has a man with more boldness and reason stood between contending parties. But, there is a principle involved, which both of them need to consider the liberty of thoso who claim superior knowledge must not be used to Injure their weak brother. (Verse 9.) This principle, doubtless for mulated the Injunction of the apostollo college, which was evidently directed toward the peace and prosperity of the church. So the whole Inquiry is Instantly shifted. It no longer pertains to the sin fulness of eating meat, but to the care of those disciples who might thereby be tempted and tried, (Galatlans, v, 13.) RESULTS. Tho principle of restraint upon liberty for the security of others havfhg been stated, its Importance is next shown by the consequence of disre and gilt spangles nppllqued on the vel vet. Between the lace points was a velvet plait at tho back which opened on a velvet bow. Threo black chiffon ruffles edged tho green velvet cape sleeves, with a double black chiffon plaiting over the shoulder; while the neck was a forest of chiffon plaiting with tiny green velvet bbws among them and larger velvet bows were plac ed at each sldo of the front. AN ELEGANT DINNER DRESS, supplied by Lord & Taylor and worn at a private entertainment, was of brown, green and white brocaded grenadine In moss patterns made over from green and purple changeable silk, tho skirt finished by three rows of narrow black velvet In varied widths. The back of tho corsage is plain, with a front of fine black passementerie edged by small green satin revcrs, almost cov ered by Venetian lace, woven In squares, with medallon centres, and from under the green satin revers, comes black satin over the puff on tho sleeves, and the cuffs are finished by green satin, lace squares, with an In side lace trimming. The collar Is In harmony with tho sleeves, and plaited chiffon falls over tho back. Wide green and brown satin ribbon twisted together forms the belt at the left side. Fine white lace falls from shoulder to waist at the left side, and tiny white leaves are In rows on the black pas sementerie front. Colored crash seems to be tho favored material for yachting suits, and although the blouse front Is quite new, still the "reefer" and blazer Jackets are noticeably pop ular, often lined with crimson or blue, which partially faces the small revers. Crimson or blue crash skirts Bome tlmes have a narrow colored cambric band stitched around the lower edge and a similar facing on the pockets. A white ptquo skirt and blue cloth Jacket makes a Jaunty yachting suit, or the ordinary gray crash or linen suit Is used by those who do not care to Incur tho expense of a special out fit. Bathing suits are not now tho un becoming garb that they were In days gone by, and fancy collars are their distinctive feature, some being made sailor shape in front and pointed at the back. White or red duck collars on black brllllantlne, or a pale blue col lar trimmed with white duck on dark blue serge are among leading Btyles. Fancy soutache braid In red.whlte, blue or black (usually In contrast) are put on both fancy or plain designs. It is an exception where yokes full1 to the belt are not employed, skirts Just cov ering the knee, and the old-time mater ials such as brllllantlne, serge or flan nel continue to hold popular favor. A HEART SHAPED amethyst set around with small pearls and diamonds is the very acme of elegurce In brooches, and although' many round stones are similarly fin ished a heart-shaped ornament Is tho fashionable fancy. The splendor of heart-shaped brooches formed of small diamonds with an emerald nt the cen tre, or of rubles or emeralds with a diamond at the centre, may readily bo Imagined, and usually these elegant brooches may also be used as pendants. Enamelled brooches hold their own.and flag-pins look very pretty on yachting suits, or green enamelled leaves, tipped with minute diamonds or pearls, have a cool, rural appearance, doubly at tractive in hot weather. Slender chains dotted with stones, are still In favor as bracelets, but the newest Idea Is a simple chain with a heart-shaped or nament, which may be transferred. Fannie Field. of OtherSc garding it. (Verses 10 and 11.) Ono weld informed concerning tho utter folly of idolatry, having thereto no scruples to hinder him, enters with the multitude to eat in the idol's temple, thinking no more of it than he would to sit at the table of a friend. Another cherishing different views seeing him, is emboldened to follow his example. But tho latter has sinned be cause his conscience has determined against tho act. The first man is there fore guilty of hih brother's transgression. (I Corinthians, x, 28.) For the sake of a temporary gratification on a feast occa sion tho first man led the second man as tray. And who shall measure tho conse quences when one begins to stlflo the voice of conscienco and to follow the con duct of others? A brother for whom Christ died perishes through another's thoughtless indulgence. Under such cir cumstances the church, founded to save men nnd to help them to holy living (Galatlans, vl, 1) has become the Instru ment of sin, and the house of death. And this is a sin against Christ. (Verso 12.) RESOLVE. Tho teaching is now com plete. The subject about which the Cor inthians had questioned was all brushed away, and neither party could claim ad vantage over the other. They are all raised to that elevated plane where the welfare of each Is of paramount consid eration, no ono allowed to do what will be prejudicial to the other. And yet Paul does not express this In the form of a command. Had he dono so some one would have perverted his words, resting In the Jetter not knowing tho spirit. (II Corinthians, ill, .) But, what was far better, he announced to all his own purpose and plan of life. If meat make any brother of his to offend ho would eat no more. (Verse 13.) Prompt ed by lovo he would exercise self-denial from that which was harmless in Itselr, (Romans, xlv, 21.) He would limit his liberty and regulate his conduct not by what he knew and beVeved on matters of right and wrong (I Corinthians, vl, 12), but by his desire to save others. He does not say so, but It is probable that this declaration was intended to influence tho resolve to the persons to whom ho wrote. CONCLUSION.-Tho instructions of the lesson may bo briefly stated under two heads. First, dn all study of the Scrip ture to determine mutters of doctrine and duty, one must bo careful to distinguish between the transient and the abiding. A direction given on a certain subject at one time may bo intended to meet an emergency only to be superceded alto gether in the fuller light of a subsequent time, as tho itords of James (Acts xv, 19) are supplemented by the words of Paul, Inattention to this great truth has led to numberless and vexatious agitations among people extremely anxious to bo right. Second, while the truth is the only correct standard of action, such Is the infirmity and perversity of the human Intellect that men ere liable to arrive at various conclusions. Hence they ought In the settlement of differences to Invoke tho aid of a generous affection. If the heart is right men may cling together whllo thoughts diverge. (II Kings, x, 15.) But tho strong must ever regard the weak. For the sake of others one ought to ab stain from many things believed to to innocent. To save a brother is better than to exf rclso full liberty.
