There are magdalens still to acknowl
edge the saving power. Minnie Brooks,
the keeper of a Chicago place of sin, has
transformed her establishment into the
"Christain mission." Miss Brooks is
described as a woman of middle age, with
a magnificent form and a sad face. At
the opening service she was dressed in
black, and about her sholders was thrown
a light white shawl. She wore no head
dress save that which had been given her
by nature —a wealth of dark brown hair,
which was combed straight back from
the forehead and twisted into a tight coil
at the back. No ornaments were to be
seen about her dress or hair. She is still
a woman of striking appearance, and al
though the most quiet was the most con
spicuous person in the room. By her
side sat one of the ladies of the Praying
Band, and behind her sat others. The
Rev. 11. F. Jacobs conducted the service.
Miss Brooks was requested to say a word.
She rose and the room became perfectly
quiet. Even the shouting in the street
was hushed. She hesitated in her speech
and walked nervously up and down the
short space of the aisle in front, which
was not crowded. Siie asked the pray
ers of all good people. She had started
on tliis work of reform of her own free
will, influenced by no one save her con
science and her God. But she realized
that she needed the prayers of God's peo
ple to sustain her. She urged those who
had been her companions in the past to
be so now in her new endeavor, that when
they came to die they might have Jesus
with them. She stopped for a few mo
ments, walked up and down the aisle sev
eral times, and then said if any one had
anything against her she asked forgive
ness. She had been fighting for this
some time, and hoped they would help
her continue to fight it out. Again she
asked their prayers. The meetings are
to 1)0 continued nightly.
Occasionally an old time courtesy crops
out among the Saratoga habitues. The
other morning a noted poet was convers
ing with a lady whose tresses were white
with age and her face, although a noble
one, was seamed with numberless wrink
les. The bund had ceased playing and
the crowd was dispersing. "Which way
are you going?" asked the poet of the
aged dame. She indicated the direction,
and lie took a rose from Ins button-hole,
picked otf the leaves and scattered them
before her. "Allow me to strew rose
leaves in your path my dear madam,"
said the poet as he bowed his good morn
ing and walked away. Just after, a wait
er came with a broom to sweep up the pi
azza, and the rose leaves were about to
form a part of the debris, when the lady
interfered, and picking them up, she de
clared she would keep them as long as
she lived. No belle in her teens could
have been better pleased than was this
old lady at the charming compliment so
gracefully paid her by the poet.
Besides legacies to his family Matthew
Vassar's will bequeaths to Vassar Col
lege 8130,000, and Vassar Hospital $85,-
000. The hospital is also made a residu
ary legatee. To other benevolent and
religious institutions, s3f>,ooo. John
Guy Vassar renounces all bequests to him
and will erect au institute for the Pough
keepsic Scientific and Literary Associa
tion as a monument to the memory of
Matthew Vassar.
The French elections will be held on
Sunday next, and the impression prevails
that the moderate Republicans will win a
substantial victory. According to our
teachings it seems hardly possible for the
Young Republic to prosper while it con
tinues ta set apart. Sunday for secular af
fairs which might be attended to on any
other day of the week.
A St. John's, N. 11. dispatch says: A
train on the St. John and Maine railway,
with 200 Sunday school children aboard,
was run into by another train a few miles
from this city this morning. The engines
were wrecked and a number of cars
thrown from the track. Loss, $15,000.
The firemen of both trains were hurt.
The accident caused great excitement
here.

This remedy is something new, both as to name
and composition. This is one of the wonders of the
world. This Syrup, I claim, is better and more
effective than any other ever offered to the ople of
America or any other country, and what I say of
this 1 can prove, This Syrup, like the Tills, is
harmless and safe. It contains no opium or other
narcotic poison, like the most Syrup, and is not dis
agreeable to take. Any child will take it. And it
will cure any and all Inflammations arising from
Cold. It is superior to all others in every respect
and especially for the following reasons:
Ist. It will cure Croup every time.
2d. It will cure Inflammation of the Lungs.
3d. It will cure Quinsy.
Ith It will cure Whooping Cough.
sth It will euro Bronchitis.
Gth It will cure Hoarseness.
7th It will cure Sore Throat.
Bth It will cure any Cold.
9th It will cure Congestion of 'Tie Lungs.
10th It will cure any Cough.
11th it will cure Scarlet Fever.
12th. It is the best reined" that anv one can take
for Consumption, and if taken in the first stage I
will guarantee a cure.
13th. It is perfectly safe for all ages as there is
nothing in its composition that can harm a child.
