by this amount than it would have been had there been no snow. Tho same great experi- menter also demonstrated that the latter sub- stance is scarcely less perfect a non-conductor of heat than the hare skin and rabbit skin, thus explaining the fact, frequently noticed by that the snow upon which hares have been is never in the slightest degree melted. There is no reason for supposing that we shall have a falling off in the snow Precipitation for the rest of the winter. On the contrary, the reasonings of our most sa- jBacious scientific observers point to the ‘Present year as entitled to a cyclical maximum of cyclonic and rainfall phenomena corre- ‘Sponding to the maximum of sun spots. If ‘we got only our usual snows for February and March wo shall have—considering the early and fortunate heavy falls at a time when half 8 foot of precipitation was worth more than twice ag much subsequently—a supply of moisture which will give an unusually fine ‘preparation of the soil for future agricultaral operations, It may be, through a ‘Winter of discontent,” that we shall reach the next ‘glorious Summer;’’ but already the days grow longer, the sun moves northward, and ‘wo can even now cheerfully anticipate the day whon | “AN this uniform, uncolored scone, Shall be dismantled of its fleecy load Pith of the Sermons Yesterday. Yosterday was o delightful day for church- ‘going people, and numbers availed them- ‘pelves of the pleasure. The congregations in the different churches were comparatively large in some and absolutely so in others. ; “The preachers, however, hardly came up to the expectations of the day’s inspiration in ‘the topics which they discussed. Mr. Froth- Angham, in treating of ‘‘A Faith by Which to Live,’’ illustrated his subject by a ref- erence to Stokes, who was not a man of faith, and who never connected eaterday, to-day and to-morrow, and hence he he to-day under the shadow of the gallows. jhe death of Napoleon—‘‘a monstrous I’’— ‘also Rarved to illustrate another phase of the ject. Aman whose foith was the quintes- of selfishness. ‘No assassin’s bullet touched him,” said Mr. Frothingham, yet ‘‘he died an outcast and a vagabond, the com- ‘panion of adventurers. The career corre- sponds with the faith.’ The style in which swe build our cities, like caravansaries, served, ‘too, to illustrate our commercial faith and to give point to the thought that ‘‘it is as well to Auild for oternity as for a few years." ‘> Hev. Mr. Samp, in thé Church of the Mes- ‘giah, on the true interpretation of Scripture, insisted that to arrive at the correct idea of a Bpeaker even in our own times we must know something of the one who speaks and of the ities of those who are addressed. ‘Until we know Paul’s temper, his mental hhabit, we cannot understand his speech. Toiling women received a share of the preacher's sympathy, and the ceaseless, grind- ing care of life which almost makes them for- pet how to sing or soar, and admits of no Aeisure to learn the higher lessons of life, was ‘deprecated. Though Mr. Camp admitted that it is part of the Divine intention that we shall learn some of the necessary lessons of life in this way, he was persuaded that God has invested too largely in us,to be indifferent to our welfare. Rev. Mr. Halo, of Boston, in All Souls’ church, tried to dissuade one-talent Christians from repining at their lack of ability or posi- tion and encouraged them to diligence in labor with what they have. The boy who runs of errands, he said, is occupying a far more important position in the community than he who is not thought worthy to be trusted with an errand at all. The poor sewing girl who stitches through the weary hours is far better offand happier than they who have not even the talent of being able to stitch. These illus- trations are homely enough to be understood | and embraced by every one, and they were used to illustrate the thought that even ‘‘one | talent, well used, is sometimes as valuable as j ter.” j Rev. Dr. Cheever took modern science, or | materialism, to task for its rejection of the ; cardinal doctrines of Christianity—its denial | of God and of the creation, of the fall of man ; and his redemption through our Lord Jesus Christ, snd of a future state of reward for the | righteous and punishment for the wicked. "This doctrine takes away all motive from the | good and all fear from the bad. Science with- out religion brings us down to the dead level of senses, and the soul of a man who denies the existence of God is as dark as charcoal, while, with faith in Him, the soul becomes a living crystal. The necessity for praying against and battling with this spirit of modern infidelity was demonstrated and urged by the Doctor. Rev. Mr. Hepworth presented some of the “‘Discouragements of a Christian Life,” and | pointed out their antidotes also. He rebutted some of the sophistries of those who stay out of the Church because, alas! there are so many bad menin it. Mr. Hepworth admitted this to be an awful fact, but in turn asked, Are there no bad men out of the Church? And he might have easily proved that the average bad | olarch member is as good as the average good man of the world who will not enter the | Church. But as well might 1 man excuse | himself from defending his country by saying | that ho had no love for it, or for deserting his | country’s flag because some others had done it.

The false, high-toned notions of honor, and the spirit that will not brook real or imagined insult, still so popular; the wilfulness and disrespect of children toward parents, and other of the common sins of our age, receive a just rebuke when placed side by side with the humility and obedience of Christ. He is the Christian's model. We may attempt it, but we can never fathom the depth of our Lord’s humility. And when we reach heaven we shall then only inadequately comprehend it as illustrated im His incarnation and in His holy life and vicarious death. Rev. Father Kearney, in the Cathedral, commenting on the boyhood of Ohrist, sdmon- ished the children and youth of his congre- gation to imitate the example of the Saviour, who, at twelve years of age, did not deem Himself too young to begin His Father's work, Those who have the care and main- tenance of children were admonished tosee toit that the young minds were directed in the right path, and that the work of preparing the soul to see and receive its Saviour was im- mediately commenced and properly and ear- nestly performed. ‘The American Branch of the Evangelical - ide megtipg ia. fhe, Madiaon oquars fe cmrery ge nh teresting addresses were made by Count Bern - storff, the German Ambassador at Washing- ton, and by Drs, Schaff and Hurst. Mr. Beecher does not consider humility merely as a sentiment. It is a method of life, and as such it was abundantly illustrated in sketches of the lives of Agnes Jones, the Liver- pool nurse; Garibaldi, Mazzini, Kossuth, Garrison and persons like them, of whom the world has too few. The investigations of science, mechanical pursuits and discoveries, and even the drudgery of the kitchen, may and do produce humility. And Mr. Beecher believes that we may look in the nursery or the kitchen for saints, much as we revile the “Bridgets.”’ It is well sometimes: to hear 6 good’ word said for those who have to bear insult within and revilings without. Mr. Talmage found in the joy of Jacob at the meeting in Egypt with his long-lost son Joseph a faint emblem of the overwhelming glory of the soul’s first sixty seconds in heavén. 4 nie Dr. Wild, on the ascension, declared that without doing violence to the spirit or design of the Gospel, we may accept the redemption scheme of our Lord as applicable to other’ worlds than this. The restraining influence of the Saviour’s atonement on sinners was also set forth. Christ’s death shows that God can- not pass by sin, and hence His life and death declare to the universe the majesty and benevo- lence of Heaven. GeyErat Oauespy, of Illinois, republican, will succeed Judge Trumbull in the United States Senate for the new term of six years be- ginning on the 4th of March next.

Tae Deputy Caamszrtatn Surr.—The de- cision of Judge Barbour on the application of Deputy Chamberlain Palmer for an injunction to prevent John Foley from interfering with him in the discharge of his official duties is to be delivered this. morning. It will probably be held by the Judge that the Deputy Cham- berlain has no standing in court, and that if any person is aggrieved by the pretensions of | ! Mr. Foley it is the Chamberlain, and not his Deputy. This will of course have no refer- ence to the merits of the claim made by Comp- troller Green to the right of appointing the Deputy Chamberlain, a claim which is not | likely to be upheld by any fair and competent court. The proper course for the Chamber- lain to pursue would be to turn Mr. Foley politely out of his office, and to leave him to seek possession by a writ of quo warranto, if he imagines that Deputy Chamberlain Palmer | is not legally filling the office to which the great reformer aspires. of the best quality for the manufacture of glass exists in abundance in the Gulf States, and several preliminary efforts have been made to start glass factories, particularly in the southern part of Mississippi, but these efforts have proved abortive for the want of capital, It will be a good thing for the South to manufacture glass and glassware. The cul- ture of fruit is becoming so general in some sections that the use of glass jars for its ex- portation in a preserved form in large quanti- ties has become a necessity. Having the fruits and the sugar, the South only needs her own glassware to obtain a monopoly of the trade in preserved fruits. Besides, she will then be able to erect her own glass-houses and be in condition to appreciate the political situation when she begins to throw stones.
