He celled at tention to the circumstasees ef Christ's Intervention In their behalf. How these men, blind their living ce ths rossltlda. beard that Jesus waa passing aad called aloud upon bim for mercy, nor were deterred boss tbelr importunate pleading by ths bakes snd scoffs of tbe erowd. flow Jeans, who was his last Journey to Jerusalem, listened to their cries, took corn passion on thair bliadi and gave them algbL Tbey knew, they blind, but there were many In this world blind with a blindness of soul wbo do not know It, for whom, unless they awaks to their COB- dltlon, there la no hope.

Now Is tbe time and It may the only time when all who wish can eotss receive redemption. ST. JOHN'S EVANOELICAL LUTHERAN.

Rev Benjamin Sadtler, D. D-, president of Muhlenberg college, Allentown occupied tbe pulpit at St. John's Evangelical, church last evening, fie preached a very able sermon of which tbe following Is a synopsis: -He took for text Genesis 2:7 Man la a living sont, Hs Is in tbe duration of his being. The nature spiritual experience Is snoh that His im perishable. Annihilation is not possible fur the body.

So called death only changee the form of matter, much less can a be blotted out of existence. Christ testifies tbat God ia not the God of the dead, bnt living. Man is a living soul In.ths oeaeless ctlvlty of his being. Hi soul a intellect is perpetual learner. The moral impression made upon us are Incessant.

Thia givsa life seriousness because those impressions may evil. Ia bis positive activity man ia a living soul, all hi action are forming his princi and In turn hi principles condition his actions. This aoivi'r la marked In Its Infill-. on others even through our silent lafluenos much more through our positive character. Even after our departure from thia ilfe we be living souls cn earth by tbe influence survive us.

We may survive ourselves tbls way. All this will show that It la a momttitou thing to live, and It may be perilous. Our only safety lies In taking this living to Chris1, to make It pure aad instill within It correct principle. THE CATHOLIC CHURCHES. Large congregations attended tbeervioes at Catholic churches yesterday.

L. Anthony, and Mrs. Hlrsh-field. Tbe organization has sent a circular to the clergy of the several churches ssklng them to the matter of early elosi eg before their congregations, with a view of enlisting Interst their behalf. At 8L Stephen's Episcopal church Rev.

H. Jones read ths circular, and apoks some ten minutes on the subject. He said it' was not his province a a preacher, to deal with mat- ters of business, but tbe object of this society waa one which placed outside of the pale of buainesB, einee it bad to deal with their moral and Intellectual well being. He had observed -ia other clues a reduction of store hours, and with apparent benefit to all concerned, since It could not be doubted that if clerk's were granted such privilege It not only rendered them contented with their lot, but mads more efficient employes out of them. The speaker thought that if the community once aoctts-" tamed itself to doing, day ahopplng it won Id get along just ss well, and would at the same time give an opportunity to these hard worked people to lighten their Uvea by such social en joyment a ether mortals are favored with, and at tbe end of a fair day's work be per mitted to seek for needed release, rest and relaxation.

11. Capt Thomas The eon who was stabled in O' Donovan Rosse'i office, continues to improve, but was unable to attend court to-day. New Tore, Jan. 11. The general impies- sion among Irishmen according to a late VI co President of the rrlsh National Land League is, that tbe attempted murder of Cspt.

Thomas Phelan was deliberately planned and carried ont by O' Donovan Rosas, Patrick Joyce aad a few of their fol lowers. Rossa baa always advocated the policy of carrying the war against England into this country and of prosecuting Its friends, or the men who were inclined to desert the cause of the dynamiters, to the utmost extremity. The United Mthman has been in straits recently. Subscribers have been falling off and complaining that the eaaors naa done nothing for tne cause oi Ireland, in punishing the traitors who were assisting England by blabbing to newspaper reporters in this country. One of the oaths which the members of the extremists are obliged to take in.

tha thev shall not divulge tuo plans or intentions of their leaders under any cirenmstanoe. on pain ef severe punish ment. If the secret told is weighty enough to interfere with any important measure against England, then the person who voices tne secret snail be removed. Donovan Rossa ia believed to be abso lutely dependent upon the subscriptions to nis publication, as are a dozen or two men no are constantly crowlinir about bis office. Any effort to Inteifere with this source of Inonmc, or any attempt to attract it into another course woijle merit according to these men, condign punishment.

Tbe sub scriptions are for "tbe caime," as exemplified by Hosss. When Pbolan. who is ac credited with being a free speaker and generous Irishman, was interviewed by a friend ly reporter 01 the Kansas City Jvnrnal, he told more than his promises should have permitted bim, from a dynamiter's standpoint. His description of the attempt to blow np.the Queen waa given with such a wealth ol detail as to carry conviction The atoiy, such a it was, involved the safety of Irihhmen both in this oountiy and England, and it is stated, received demands from his followers that the syoken Captain should be pun ched. Roaa, who does not eare to place his head in the lion's iaws, summarily refused to have anjthiop to do with tbe matter, and consented, its said, only after he had been compelled lo write the lotter to Pbolan, which cventunilv brought the latter to this city.

The convenient absence of both sa and Joyce from the office of the United Inthma while Mie butchery was going on is regarded as suggestive that those persons knew what was about to take place, it tbe custom of the office that when neither Rossa nor Joyce is tbeie tbo door double-pad locked and all entry into its mysteries is impossible. The circumstance that while both Rossa and Joyce were at their homes, the olllce was crowded by half a dozen men whom none of the leaders acknowledge they knew, is considered at least as presumptive evidence that the attestations of innocence go for naoght. Rossa seldom visits his office after 4 o'clck tbe afternoon, ilia visit yesterday at dnslc. and the msnifest netvousuess he dis played when questioned as to the stabbing. were both unusual.

Persons familiar with Rossa's habits say that be is always ready to boast of the advance made towird blowing Englana out of the British Channel. But in this case he denies absolutely that he had any knowledge of the matter. Richard Short, tbe assassin, has been recogoized by several persons who have offices, iu the building where Rossa's office is situated, and it was learned this morning that Short had not been an infre- qvent visitor at Roesa's office within the last week. He has been observed several times to leave the building in Rossa's company, He is known in a gin shop in Chatham street, near Chambers street, as iran who, of late, has been a liberal patron of Tom and Jerry. Before last Saturday he bad not been noticed, but since then his oalls at the gin shop have been frequent enongh to impress the features on the mind or tbe bar keeper, so that when be saw bim led past bis place yesterday afternoon he recognized him.

It is also stated by the tenants in the building that recently a num ber of men have been calling at Rossa's office, and that within the last week this number has been increased. Both Rossa and Joyce refuse to give any information to reporters. Entrance to Roesa's office can be obtained only by privil eged characters, and they are inclined to refrain from speaking of the subject ot their visit. One of them said as he left tbe Build ing in company with a friend "Short will be taken care ot. He did right to kill the traitor." But with the exception of a few ot these hot-headed extremists.

Irishmen generally regard the crime as a cold-blooded and deliberate attempt to murder a man who was likely to oanse certain individuals a deal of trouble. They condemn it beartity, and claim that it ahonld be made tbe means of rooting out the colony of dynamiters which'1 bas brought a lasting reproach upon the Irish cause. CIVIL SERVICE PROBLEMS. DEMOCRATIC SCHEMES FOR OFFICIAL RE MOVALS. Washisgton, Jan.

11. The speech of Senator-elect Payne at the Columbus celebra tion ha served to supplement the recent letter of President-elect Cleveland on the sub ject of Civil Service reform and the effect among the employes of tbe several departments has been to make them feel as much disturbed as ever since the election. The utteranoes of all the influential men in the Democratic party, so tar aa they have been made public, are in favor of a return to tbe spoils System. Tbe present law hnde no favor with any of them, and, aa Air. rayne says, the opportunities for rewarding an active ward "jtriker or political lickspittle are too few under its provisions.

I be probable course of tbe Democratic party respecting the Civil Service becomes more and more interesting aa such leaders express their opinions and the time draws near for them to take charge of the Government. One of tbe ways by which it mi expected a large number of Repablioana will be swept out of ofnee is to legislate in so.cn a way as to cat down the force of clerks. It is ex pected tbst when the Legislative Appro priation bill is reported it will be found tnat the appropriations are made for a greatly re duced loroe every department. Tbe re ductions would be made to take effect July 1. by which time the new Democratic chiefs will be installed and will have learned who.

among their fotoe of clerks, are Republicans aad who are Democrats. In discharging clerks under such cirec instance, of coarse the Republicans would be expected and forced to go. A BEAYT DEFAULTER. Eastok, Jan. 10.
