It wasa great error of the past that it had so many sut”times of feasting and_ humilistion, Thus the minds that wero most Christian and eduented, and hence which should have led the multitude joyfuily to all in- dustry, Jooked downward snd kept their own eyes full of tears, But thoe world moves by n- spiratfon, not by depression, * ‘The lamentatlons of Jeromish preceded the ruin of Juden; the benedictions of Jesus waked it from its grave.

[ SELF-DESTRUCTION. BERMON DY TIIE REV. DR, MUNTRR, The Rev. Dr, Hunter preached at 8t Paul's Reformed Episcopal Church yesterday morning to a largo congregation. Ile took as his subject “aulelde,” The following was his text: And cast down tha pleces of aflver In tho Temple and doparted and wentand hanged Limself,—dlal- thew zroil,, 5. In sclecting his subject lie safd ho had had no desiro to ndd to tho cxcltement Iu the cominu- nity, or to stir up thedeep eorrow which had reeently scttlied upon many minds ou necount of the suiclde of a lcading busiuess man, and he would not agaln recur to that melancholy elr- cumstance. 1lo had been roquested to select the subject, and he approached tho work with some trepldation, not beeauss It was not a praper theme for the pulplt, but because it was an unusual onc., Buicldo as contagious, coming of o worbid condition of the mind, an he concelved it to bo the duty of the press and the pulpit under all clrcumstances to exalt tho sacredness of hiuman lte. The fear of danger and the love of life wervas tutonse with children an with men, yet history showed that sulcldo was alinost exclusively coufined to certain countries, the _mala sex, and old age, In En- glsnd, Gernany, and France theru were the most suicides, but France, of all other nations, showed a preponderance, Even there, howeter, the males were the suldldes, The meekness, fortitude, and patlence of women—another name for better sensc—ovreserved them from the dread contagion fu a very large degree. Suieides wero divided lnto”three classes,—the virtuous, vicious, and {rresponslble, - That sul- cido nnd tnsanity were often - found together os causd and offect he did not deny, butthe history of sulelles revealod that all “of our pnsslons were capatle of belug aroused to the extent of fuducing or prompting suleide. Insauity re- moved the responsibllity of ths dreadful n}cml, et aufcide was n eln,—n violation of one of iod's greatest vomwands; for when he sald” “‘thou shait mot Kill,"” the Injunction was meant to opuly not only to the killing of suother, but to the taking of one's own Iife.

Xewo Yok World, Nor. 23, G For some time past thero has been a move: ment on foot among tho silk-hat manafacturers .| to memorializo Congross for the abolition or modification of the present duty of 00 per cent ad valorem on silk plush, of which silkk_hats are made.» Mr. Robert Dunlap, of Dunlap & Co., Is ome of the most active men in the movement. He says that before the War, when the duty was only 20 per cent, there was n great deal more piush - ported than there Is now, and the revenuo to the Government wns proportionately larger. 8ince the Imposition of the preaent high rate, and the consequent Increase {n the price of silk hata, thicir sale hns materlally deercascd.

The reason for thia ls that our water las ceriain ‘chemical propertics which, when used for dampening tho slik prior to the application of the hecating provess which hinparts the glossy appearauce, turns it brown and spolls the material. Tio same fs true of English water, so that In Encland it has been found lmpossible to manufacture silk piush, which s all lmports ced_from France, where one tanufacturer in Lyons supplies the whole world., ‘The Amer- Ican sllk-hat makers clalm that, as the import- vd French piush docs not come In competition with any slinilar guods of homne make, tho pro- tectiva duty Ia unhecessury aud iujurious. Yesterday a number of ‘manufacturers met at the factory of Dunlap & Co., 160 Slercer strect, to take astion “in the matter. The trade was represcnted by all the leading houses of the city, amonz themn betng Dunlap, Amidon,” Hout & Duscnbury, Espeucheld, Miller, and Beebe. There were also represcntatives of the trade from 8t Louis, Chicago, Cincinnatf, Boston, and Philadelphla. A series of resolutions was adopted decluring that the silk-hat trade is now in s deplorable condition by reason ol the heavy duty on silk plush; that ft 1s rated as a luxury and taxed €0 per cent, when it should rank as raw material and pay only 20 per cent, and that unless this hurden Is removed the manufacturers will soon be forced to clusu thelr shups, The resolutions further deelare that o reduction of the duty.on plush to tha old rate of 20 per cent would” lo- crease the reventio by o revival of busincas, The mecting then appointed Messra, Morrls, Dunlap, and Cook a Committee to proceed to Washington to lay the matter Lefore Congress, and urge the necessity of fmmediate rellef, Tt is snid that if the duty on the sk plush s reduced theimmediate effect will bo a large re- ductlon In the price of allk hats. ‘Thesa aro sell- It now at 87 und 83 lu the best stors, and in othier stores, where they are mude up with fufe- rior finfeh, st 35 and $0, 1€ the duty on plush s moaified the dealers say that ft will bo poasi- Ilalrw-cll the best silk hats ot ¥5, andeven uss.
