REED WED 3, 1971. PETROLEUM Answery 564. BonDs at Fraacions, aow 1024. Gold closed in New York yesterday at 107. THE Governor's message will be sent 10 the Logislature to day.

THE death of P. P. BLIsS, the com poser and religions singer, in the Ashtabula disaster, will arouse profound regret and BOTTOW. THE Supreme Court of Florida refused made by the to socept the return to ita order for a ra-count of the vote, and in again ordering complianoe with the writ, exempts Presidential Electors and Congressmen from the count. This will give the Republicans two members of Congress under the first count, in place of one under the second count.

THE continued snows, and even cold, serve to give the present winter character an old-fashioned winter. Thus far it has been attended with prevailing geed health, and the heavy snow fails are fall of promise for a good wheat growing seaBOD this year. The fall wheat will be protected by the mows, and spring wheat will have the benefit of softened and well watered earth. Winters like the present are far preferable to the changeabie ones of the past fow years. Two DEMOCRATIC Governors were igurated on New Year's day, ROBINS, of New York, and VANCE, of North prolina.

The former was introduced by TILDEN, in a self-gratulatory adsas, that shows that he fully appreciates mself, while the latter paid him the mabtful compliment that he was elected to the Chief Magistracy of the nation by a majority of the popular vote. Whether His limitation of his allusion to this point attributable to his doubt as to the electoral vote, is a matter of inference. Governor VANCE was warlike, provided Northern Democrats do the fighting this It is but just to say that RoBINsON New York is expected to give the State air administration. Lx Louisiana, while there is the usual ort on the part of the Democrats to on the State Government, there is Bat likely to be the same fierce outbreaks that have heretofore occurred. The Deporacy now understand, with sufficient arness that the United States authorido not intend to permit any more such performances as they have heretoCere given; and that if violence is resorted my prompt measures of repression will employed.

They are aware that 80 tbreak will do them no practical good, hence have confined themselves to rotests against the precautions taken by Governor KELLOGG to preserve the peace and insure a proper organization of the gialature. Of course, protesting to their right, and to this no one objects. THE outburst of bitterness in Florida should lead to hesitancy there about enBi DucA that irrespective of justice or right, tas are to be counted, because they are the box, is to bid for repeating, vioace and fraud. Even the Courts of orida cannot afford to allow the violent al meat supremacy, unless they are willg that justice shall be mockery, and decisions of the Courts dictated by an taide mob, We strongly suspect many those in Florida who imagine they will ake a point by playing with the DemooBy, will yet learn a bitter lesson of mortiation and defeat. It is better that they ould adhere to the right.

SOUTHERN VIEW'S. We find, here and there, a Northern paper which affects to disbere the report that Southern Democrata bot propose to be made cat's-paws lowher for the benefit of their brethren North; claiming that the party is one and inrisible. We have before 18 a copy of he State, a Democratic paper, published Richmond, Virginia, which deals editoily with this question. After recoguiz, the idea of the failure of the South to in the way proposed by Northern Demit saya: thing we bid our urthern friends take to heart: If they it for us to move, ever so little, before move, they will never move at all. vreover, if they do not move, of themes and for themselves-if they do not -haust all possible means of securing the ulta of the victory which we WOD for in November, then let them count no re on a "solid Democratic South;" let DA delude themselves with no vain hope dat we shall forever hew the wood and the water for men whose words are ds of which we always pay the penaity, men who would not follow, DOW dare not lead.

If fair-meather. friends of OUTS, who now impertinently complain of 115, choose to let slip the last opportunity to vis licate their liborties and to make rethe will of the people against the mes of usurpers, let them understand, for all, that the Democratic party of South will no longer exist in a national sene, but will be content in the several to manage as best it may its domesaffairs, and will know how to destroying within the States the remnants of power still left to the Republican party." Tr will be seen from the above that the Sue bears no love to the Republican parand also that it proposes, practically, same violent course at the South that re been heretofore pursued, but for the purpose of seizing on State power, not in the interest of national politics. us, it is not from love toward the Repaolican party that this course is pursued, from positive disgust at the swindling of the Northern Democracy. And are not left in doabt as to the reason this. It it distinctly declared in the he editorial, that the Northern Demats betrayed them into rebellion 1861, by promises that were never sept.

Soya the State, "That we are poweris the fact, and whose fault is it but At st of those dear friends at the North, vincible in peace and invisible in who promised unutterable things in 1859 aed 1860, and forgot ail about it in 1861 21 Taus we have definitely repeated that the amocratio party North made large proin 1859 and 1860, if the South would enter into civil war. The nature of those promises has been specifically stated by others, and were that the hands of the North should be tied, so that there should be no effective resistance to the South, and that at best the war should be fought on Northern soil. But the Etate goes farther, and intimates that as early as 1859 the Northern Democrats were trying to induce them to go into rebellion, plying them with promises of belp, and aseurances of success. It is evident that there 18 8 secret history to this affair that needs to be unfolded, and it will form one of the most shameful records of duplicity, heartlessness and treason ever unfolded to the public. The known record of that party will seem like a revelation of living light, in comparison with the secret history that will thus be unfolded.

It will be noticed that to all the declarations from the South, that they acted perfidiously, a studious silence is observed. The full history of the years 1859-60 may yet see the light. LEGISLATIVE ORGANIZATION. The newly elected State Legislature OFganized yesterday under what we regard as very hopeful circumstances. The officers selected in both branches were those who had been regarded by Republicans as particularly fitted to wisely and carefully conduct the business of the session.

Against none of them can objection be made, and we are well convinced that 50 far as officials can control it, the legislation of this winter will be of the best. We bear expressions favorable to a short ses. sion, and the rigid scrutiny of all measures that shall come up for action. This is wise. There is no good reason for a long session, and the bills offered should be closely scrutinized.

A spirit of impartial and even judicial fairness should control the members, and with such a disposition the work of the seesion may be disposed of with comparative rapidity. The Democratic Legislature did so badly last year and the year befure that the contrast between the two will be closely observed. The present session, therefor affords our members an oppor der the party, as tunity torenservice, by well as the State, good careful, conscientious work. Ther is, we understand, important legislation pending, and this will receive close attention. The several funds of the State Treasury require to be newly adjusted, in order to the smoother working of that branch of the Government.

Owing, also, to large demands on the Treasury, it will probably be asked that charitable appropriations be limited as much as is practica. bie. It is proposed to avoid additional taxation, while meeting the demands on the State. These and other matters will call for the very best work that can be riven. There will be some important general legislation, and from appearances, a considerable amount of special legislation, notice of which is advertised in different parts of the State.

On general principles, and without aiming at any specific piece of proposed special legielation, we urge apon the attention of the Legislature the importance of the most rigid inspection of all special bills, and the vigorous use of the pruning knife. It should be borne in mind that special legislation caused the necessity for the Constitutional Convention, and that the particular efforts of that body were directed against this evil. Nor is the fact of publishing notice of intention a relief from the evils of that system, Obscure papers come to us with notices of intention published that will not be read by one hundred persons; and the wording of the notices is often obscure and misleading. Yet, after this nominal compliance with law, the bills will be brought forward and boidly pushed. Fortunately Governor HARTRANFT keeps vigilant eye on all such legislation, but we urge that the Legislature keep its skirts clear, by passing only such bills of this character as are really and necessary.

If once the door is even partially opened, a flood tide of special bills will roll in, and wo will have all the elamor, lobbying and corruption that characterized the old system. We emphasize this, because of the urgency of the danger as we see it. It is difficult to specify classes that may be specially obnoxious, as that will seem like aiming at specific parties. There may be meritorious and necessary legislation in any and every ciass, but judging from last winter's observation, we would say that nine out of every ten bills offered, that come within the scope of special legislation may be killed, without doing harm to any one. At all vents, if the Legislature wishes to escape censure, it should rigidly inspect every special bill, and pass none that are not absolutely clear and right in purpose.

sion will also be commendood of special bills is kept al legislation promptly atre is no reason why the sesa long one. At the latest, we would say the Legislature can readily adjourn by March, with all necessary work well and thoroughly done. SILVER The use of silver as a measure of value, as a medium of exchange, in the shape of coins of legally established weight and fineness, is a custom more ancient and unchangeable than any other known among men. So universal and long continued has this use of silver and gold been that we may safely speak of it as a natural rather than conventional law. God bimself, by one of the Hebrew prophets, puts them together as the measure and representatives of all material wealth, saying, "The silver and the gold are mine." He seems to have put them together for a necessary use, and the universality and long continuance of that joint use proves, we think, that it is a divine ordination, a pataral law, and that it is unwise and injurions on the part of the framers of the statute law to put them asunder.

In support of this proposition, it is a suggestive fact that the demonetization of silver in this country and in the German Empire was consentaneous with the uni venal panic and depression which etill continnes. A cataral law was violated, and the civilized world has been paying the penalty ever since, especially the two great countries who did that thing. In both there has been a most disastrous shrinkage in values; in both confidence has been greatly shaken and productive industry paralyzed. In France, on the other hand, which did not commit this folly, a good de gree of prosperity has been maintained, notwithstanding the late calamitous war with Germany, and the heavy pecuniary penalty which that war entailed. What led statesmen of Germany to do this thing we cannot say, other than that it was to the interest of the capitalists of that opulent nation, whose wealth is mainly in money and stocks; and it is probable that their influence was sufficient to secure the adoption of that policy; for it is perfectly obvious that, as money is the measure of value, to cut off one factor of the double standard would greatly enbance the purchasing power of the remainfactor.

But as Germany is not a cing country, exsept to a very limited degree, and as it is not largely indebted to other nations, its action in this regard was not so injurious as was the law of our Congreas of 1873, demonetizing silver and reducing us to the single standard of gold, for two reasons. First. Our national bonds, issued during the struggle with the Southern rebels, are payable, both principal and interest, in the lawful coin of the country, Jand silver was the lawful coin of the country when those bonds were issued; it was legal tender to any amount. But the act of Congress demonetizing silver cut off at a single blow one-half of the ability of the Americans to pay that huge debt, or to make the greenbacks convertible into coin--in other words, to resume specie payments. But, in the second place, silver is a patural product of our country to an enormous amount; more, probably, than all the rest of the world besides, and the prospective increase of that production is equal to that of any other.

But this demonetizing law has had the twofold effect of reducing the commercial value of one of our great natural productions, and of leaving our country with a deficient supply of coin, thereby forcing our people to the use of a circulating medium of less value than gold, and making a large part of it a legal tender by an arbitrary exercise of power which nothing but the exigencies of a state of war could justify. Again: This policy has forced gold up to an abnormal value, as is seen and painfully felt in the universal shrinkage of values. While property has fallen and wages diminished, as measured by gold, debts have practically, in a like degree, been magnitied in amount. This is true both of our public and private liabilities. The question now is, what are we going to do about it? The answer is as simple as the question -go back to where we stood before the foolish act was passed, and make both gold and silver legal tender in any amount.

It might be well enough to limit this use of the fractional parts; but the silver dollar is a noble coin, and ought to be restored to its old place as the equal of goid in the payment of debts under the law. Then let the mints be set to work with all their power to turn them out. The peeple will gladly hail their bright, honest faces, and the creditors of the Government must take them, except for the late issues of 5 and 44 per which have been issued since 1878. We are persuaded that nothing which the present Congress can do would so cheer the country and restore hope and confidence as the restoration of silver to its old place. Then specie payments would come as naturally and as easily as the opening of leaves and flowers under the vernai sun.

Gold would lose its abnormal preciousness and fall back to its proper place as measure of value, and as a natural consequence, prosperity would return. SENSATION AT ROCKFORD. Suspicion that souug Lady in a Semine Desires to Skip Out. A sensation was created at Rockford, IlL, on "New Year's," at an attempted carrying off of one of the handsomest girls in the female seminary, a daughter of a Wisconsin banker, who is now ing in Chicago. The facts in brief are as follows: For several days two well dressed men, named M.

M. Kitch and John W. Taylor, who registered their names as coming from Boscobel and Mineral Point respectively, have been in town. The young lady was to escape in time to catch the western bound train at 2 o'clock in the morning. She was to get on the back part of the seminary and crawl through a hole in the fence, where her lover would be in waiting for her.

If this should fail, she was to leap, fifteen minutes later, from a second story windew, and the two men were to catch her in a large buffalo robe. It so happened that City Marshals Sally and Dame got wind of the arrangement, and the following letter was addressed to Miss Anna P. Sill, of the Seminary: CITY MARSUAL'S OFFICE. DEAR MADAME-Have beard that an attempt is to be made to abduct Miss at 2 o'clock. Two men registered at White's Hotel are to do the deed.

In the interest of law and order we deem it proper to warn you. THOS. SULLY, City Marshal. Officer Dame went over to the seminary late last night, and, in the absence of Miss Sill, interviewed Miss Wright, who said that the gentlemen bad seen the lady in question twice the day before and once on Saturday. Miss Wright at once saw the fair secessionist, who, of course, denied the fact of intended abduction, though she admitted that the mysterious strangers were friends of hers.

A young lady was deputed by Miss Sill to watch during the night, but no attempt was made to escape. AN OLD COUPLE'S SAD FATE. Hunger and Death in Land of Plenty. An old man, by the name of Self, and his wife. have lived in a little log cabin, about two hundred yards west of W.

H. H. Judson's house, at Granby City, Missouri, and near the mint eprings for a year or two past. They were an aged couple, about seventy years old. and had lived to gother through sanshine and storm for more than forty-five yaars, and in a few years might have celebrated their golden wedding, but it would bave been from necessity a very plain one, for the amount of their household goods consisted of an old bed with worn out quilts and covers, and a stool or two, and the whole value was not more than a few dollars.

The old lady was an invalid, and her husband supported her by hauling wood to Granby with a yoke of oxen. All of last winter this old man, through storm and eold came as regular as a clock to market with a little jag of wood, and through the summer's beat too. But in the fall he was less punctual in his trips, and it was 11- derstood that the old man was not wellthat he had fever and ague. Time rolled on; the neighbors, engrossed with their occupation and cares, seldom thought of the old couple, until the other morning. Esquire Collins happening to pass the cabin, called through the open chinks between the logs, and inquired of the old man how they were getting on.

The old man made no reply, but the old lady spoke up feebly, requesting Mr. Collins to come in. He went in. The old lady was lying sick and helpless on a pallet on the floor, while on the bed was the form of the old man. A glance at his pallid pace told the tale.

He was dead. Had died the night previous, with no one to care for him but his aged and sick wife. She bad not been able to call upon the neighbors for help, and death, in the solemn stillness, had entered their cabin in stately majesty and stamped his seal and signet upon the brow of her husband. Soathera California Realth Resorts. The belt of country extending from Santa Barbara to San Diego, in Southern California, has been described as possessing unusual attractions as a sanitarium for invalids at all seasons, and particolarly in winter, by reason of its equable, genial climate, dry air, exuberant vegetable and fruit products, and charming scenery.

South of the bold promotory of the Sierra Nevada, which abuts upon the ocean, the California coast is semi-tropical, and exempt from the raw winds and fogs which, at times, trouble San Francisco, and frost and snow are almost unknown. Although hitherto accessible only by a sea voyage, the principle cities, Los Angeles, San Barnardino, Anaheim, San Diego, and Santa Barbara have been extensively visited, and have given rise to a number of superior hotels at each place. The extension of the Southern Pacific Railroad, some 600 miles southeast of San Francisco, has recently annexed this whole fertile and attractive region to the connected railroad system of the country, and now the most delicate invalid can ride in parlor and sleeping cars, by a few stops from one car to another, continuously to the three former points. Roads are in progress to the two latter, which are now reached by short stage or steamer rides. Tne expense and time consumed in the trip are but little more than that to Florida; and, of course, very much less than the trip to Cuba, or the Mediterranean, while it embraces many advantages which none of them afford.

The time from New York to Los Angeles is about 74 days. This is the centre of the great vineyards and orange plantations of California; both fruits being raised in wonderful variety and excellence. Oranges, lemons, figs, bananas, pomegranates, olives, and other fresh fruits, can be had in perfection, and strawberries and the like all the year round. Daily newspapers, telegraphs, modern conveniences in house structures, and all the accompaniments of American civilization, so necessary to convalescence, are also to be had almost the same as at the east. It is the prediction of many who have visited Southern Mr.

Nordhoff among others, that Southern California will become the great natural health resort of this continent. The track of the Southern Pacific is already extended 150 miles eastward of Los Angeles, and is progressing toward Fort Yuma and the silver mines of Arizona and Sonora. The Laud of Flowers. A correspondent writing from Enterprise, Florida, says; It has been awful cold work getting out of bed these two mornings. They keep mosquito bars on the beds, but they are only a delusion and a snare, with ice in the water-pitchers.

Pretty weather this for the land of flowers! I wrote you in my last that the thermometer had touched 28 degrees. At daylight this morning it was down to 22 degrees, 5 degrees lower than it has been here since the great frost of 1835. The residents are complaining terribly. The young orange trees are all destroyed, as well as such of the crop as has not been already picked. The oranges on the table at breakfast this morning were frozen, The bananas, about which such a boast was made last year, are dead beyond redemption, and rosebushes, geraniums, and every other tender plant, bave wilted and turned black.

When the sun is out for an hour or two it is very pleasant, and if one takes a walk of any length, he is apt to get quite warm. THE MUCH LAMENTED BLISS. The Voice of the Sweet Singer Hushed Forever. Services in Memory of the Dead Evangelist-Mr. Moody Mourns him as did DEvid for JonathanThe Departed and the Melodies which have given him Undying Fame.

Mr.fP. P. Bliss, the revivalist, and colleague of Major D. W. Whittle, both of whom are well knowa in this city, was killed in the railroad disaster last Friday night at Ashtabula, Ohio.

Mr. Bliss was extensively known throughout this country 88 a composer of sacred melodies, but more particularly on account of the part he had taken in revival work with Major tie. It is conjectured that Mr. Bliss had got through a window of the car in which he was riding, and expected to be able to pull his wife and children through. Their car was blocked up completely, and the family jammed in so that escape, except through the windows, was impossible.

The cars were burning at the extremities from the stoves at each end. It is believed that Bliss was burned to death trying to save his wife and little ones. The first intimation received in Chicago, his home, of the death of himself, wife and children, was contained in telegram sent by Mr. J. E.

Barchell last Saturday night to Mr. B. F. Jacobs, a worker in the cause of Christianity with Mr. Bliss.

The Saturday papers contained no mention of Mr. Bliss' fate, and it was not even supposed among his friends that he was a passenger on the train. It can readily be imagined what a shock the sad news occasioned among the friends of a man who was universally beloved where he is beat known. At the time of the accident Mr. Bliss was en route from Rome, his former home, to Chicago, where, with Major Whittle, it was his intention to take an been active spending part in the the revival work Me nad friends and among his old and two lovel and with his wife their children were returning to nome.

His remains, with those of his wife and child, will be taken to Towanda, for burial. Mr. Bliss first went to Chicago in 1864 as an employe ef the music house of Root Cady, now Root Sons. He continued with them until the fire of 1871. His department in the business of the Arm was to conduct the musical conventions throughout the country.

The character of the man and the deep-seated religious feeling impelled him to take a part in the Sunday school work, and when Major Whittle was Superintendent of the Tabernacle Sunday school on the West Side at Chicago, Mr. Bliss now and then directed the singing. Afterward he became the choral leader of the First Preebyterian church of that city and also its Sunday school Superintendent. Under his ministrations the school grew to be one of the largest and best conducted Sunday schools of Chicago. His lovable nature readily gained for him the admiration and co-operation of his pupils, and he seemed to inspire every one with whom he came in contact with the same enthusiasm that he possessed.

For three years he retained this position, and it was not until a call to a higher and more extensive field of religions labor came that he gave up his favorite charge. Then he formed an alliance with Major Whittle, and with the example set by Moody and Sankey in Great Britain, and their wonderful success there, the twain commenced a like work in the West. They visited many places in Illinots and adjoining Statea and succeeded in letting light into many a darkened life, and winping many back from the wicked ways into the fold of Christ, The most gratifying result of their revival labors was experienced in Louisville, two years since. Mr. Bliss' sacred compositions are held in high esteem.

His chief songs are, "Hold the which has become a watch word in the ranks of Christianity over all the land, "Almost Persuaded," and "What Shall the Harvest Be." These are his better known songs. His last work was 3 book called "Gospal Songs," in which were included his beat compositions, written during the past year. This publication will be issued in a few days. The deceased married a lady in Pennsylvania about the time of his frat visit to the west. He had two children, both of whom, with their mother, perished with him.

To his mother the 1088 of her son la a dual blow. It was only a short time ago that her husband, Mr. Bliss' father, was taken from her, and now she is called upon suddenly to mourn the lose of her only and dearly beloved SOD. His mother and two sisters now live in Towanda, Pa. The life of this good man, 60 pure and so simple and so Christ-like, is fraught with a meaning for all.

Its tragic end contains a warning none the less foreible. To-day we are, to-morrow we are not, and nope knows when the 46 comoth. wherein shall work. In Memoriam. (From the Chicago Tribune,) Remains a Land of Rest;" after which A large congregation assembled at the Tabernacle at 8 o'clock Sunday morning.

Mr. Moody had announced a sermon on "The return of Our Lord," hat from the drapery of mourning around the platform and galleries, with its heavy lines and festoons of black and white, and the pure beautiful white crowns which stood upon the speaker's stand, it was evident that, instead of the coming of the Lord to 115, the topic of the morning was to be the departure of the loved ones to Him, The anFOUnCement in the papers that Mr. P. P. Bliss, with his entire family, bad perished in the fearful wreck of the railway train at Ashtabula, 0., fell with such weight upon the ears and hearta of his thousands of friends in Chicago, that for hours it was impossible for them to realize it, or even to believe it to be true.

But, if any of them came with lingering hopas to yesterday's morning meeting, one look at the great Tabernacle with its emblems of death overbanging the promises of eternal life which are inscribed on 118 walls, was sufficient to show that the only hope of ever seeing or hearing this sweet singer of our Israel again was in joining him on the other shore. Four crowns all together, and all for one family! Not often does Heaven bestow so laviahly. One for Paul, one for "Paulina," one for the son who bore his father's name, and one for little George Goodwin; these crowns are woven of pure white camelias and lilies, but those crowns are made of "glory." WHILE THE CONGREGATION WAS ASSEMBLING the choir sang softly and lovingly saveral of the favorite hymns written by the man whose name Death had written on the tablets of history, and whose record God had written in the Book of Life. Presently Mr. Moody entered, and, as all eyes were turned to see how this man, twice broken under the weight of afflictions since these meetings began, would bear himself, and as all ears were listening for his first word in his great sorrow, he stood up in his place and, with manifest trouble to keep back the sobs and tears, be repeated those words of David, "Know ye not that there is a Prince and great man fallen in Israel Then, almost unable to speak for weeping, he said, "Let us lift up our hearts to God in silent prayer." A lung period of silence followed broken at length by signs of overpowering emotion, in the midst of which the voice of Dr.

Chamberlain was heard giving thanks te God for the hope of eternal life on behalf of this entire household who had been borne 00 angels' wings from the place of terror and death up to the bosom of God. The congregation then joined in singing: "In the Christian's in Glory there MR. MOODY arose and said: I was to take up the sue ject of our Lord's return, but I cannot control my feelings 80 as to speak as I had intended. I will take up that subject at another time. When I beard last night that Mr.

Bliss and his whole family had perished, at first I could not believe it, but a dispatch from a friend who was on the train took away all hope, and left me face to face with death. For the past three months I have seemed to stand between the living and the dead and now I am to stand in the place of the dead. Mr. Whittle and Mr. Bliss were announced to hold the 4 o'clock meeting in the Tabernacle to-day, and now Mr.

Farwell, and Mr. Jacobs, and Mr. Whittle, with other friends, have gone to see if they can And his remaios to 'ate them away for burial. I have been looking 'over his hymns to see if I could find one appropriate to the occasion, bat I find that there are all like himself, full of hope and cheer. In all the years I have known and worked with him I have never ouce seen him cast down.

But here is a bymn of his that I thought we might sing. Once after the wreck of that steamer at Moreland, I was speaking of the circat ances that the lower lights were out, and the next time we met be sang this bymn for the; it is the sixty-6fth in our collection, let us sing it now. It begins, "Brightly beams our Father's mercy; but still more brightly beams the light along the shore to which he bas passed. It was in the midst of a terrible storm he passed away, but the lights which be kindled are burning all along the shore. He bas died about 38 years old--but bis byrans are sung round the world.

Only a little while ago we received a copy of these hymns translated into the Chinese language. "In spite of the mourning, it la sweet to think that this whole family passed away together. father and motber. Paul, only years old, and little George, only 2 years old, all gone home safe together. There comes a voice to 118 saying, still and know that I am God," but we know that Father doeth all things The sixty-Afth bymn was then sung.

Mr. Sankey read from a letter be had received from Mr. Bliss near his old home in Towanda, in which bis bappy faith in God and his love for his dear old mother were sweetly expressed. ADDRESSES. The Rev.

Dr. Goodwin, of whose church Mr. Bliss had for many years been a loved and honored member, then came forward, and made touching address relative to the departed. He spoke of him, as Superintendent of the Sabbath sebool in the church for many years; of the affection with which ba was regarded by the teachers and scholars. He (Blise) was to lead praise meting in Dr.

Good win's Sunday sobool on Sanday afternoon. Dr. Good win in closing said: "This is not the time to speak as I would like to speak, but this I can say, that no wan in so identifed with the work of the Lord but that God can giorify him, and still carry on the work. This man's work has reached all round the world. The other day I received a letter fsom a missionary in South Africa.

He said be WAS going out some time ago to establish Dew mission, and when he took refuge in 8 Zala but the frat sound he beard was the song "Hold the Fort," sung in the Zulu language. Here is that thirteenth hymn which he sung for us the other night. He began by saying, "Brethren, I don't know as I shall ever sing here again (and he never did), but I want to sing this as the language of my us sing that said Mr. Moody, which was done. The next speaker was the Rev.

Dr. Thompson, who had oniy last evening returned from a double funeral service among his relatives in another State, to which he bad been summoned by telegraph, and where be had been singing the hymns of Brother Bliss at the bedside of the sick at the very hour of the awful calamity. He has learned, said the Doctor, the form of his mansion fair, and the song that the angels sing. A few days ago I received a letter from a that friend who had been annoyed at the charge Brother Bliss sung for gain, and desiring me to disprove it if I could, and, when I spoke to him about it, he said with a smile, "I sing for Christ; I have not even a home to my Mr. Moody resumed as follows: My heart goes out for his mother.

He was an only sop, and bis mother is a widow. Let us just put up a prayer for this mother. And there was dear Mrs. Bliss, who was not one inch behind her husband. She him taught with him his bow music.

to pray, and encouraged I have often heard him say, "All I am I owe to that dear "NOT FOR PERSONAL GAIN." Now about that charge of his singing for money. The royalty on this little book has amounted to about $60,000, which has bean devoted to charitable asked Mr. Bliss to I once hi 1 thought he needed for but himself, case $5,000 telling it; he nover would had not a take truer one man. farthing. He will Chicago appreciated hundreds of Fears hence.

Like Charles Wesley and Dr. Watts, he was raised up to sing in the Church of God. be praised tor such a woman; God be praised for such a man! Prayer was then offered by the Rev. Dr. Williamson especially in bebalf of the mother of the deceased, The twenty-second bymn was then Bliss' own songs, with the sung, words one of Mr.

written 1 by his wife: We're going bome, No more to rosal, No more to sin and sorrow: No more to wear The brow of careWe're going bome to-morrow. Chorus -We're going home (we're going home). We're going home to-morrow: We're going home (we're going home), We're going home to-morrow. Mr. Moody then appointed two committees; the first to raise money and erect a monument to the memory of the dead, consisting of Messrs.

T.W. Harvey, J. V. Farwell, Henry Fled and I. D.

Sankey. Mr. Henry Field, of Field, Leiter was appointed treasurer of this fund, to whom all contribations may be addressed. Mr. Moody requested that as there were 80 many who would want a share in this work of love, that none should give more than dollar.

A collection was then taken for that purpose, the only one ever taken in the Tabernacie. The other committee was to draft resolutions and communicate them to the friends of the deceased. It consists of the Rev. Messrs. Good win, Bishop Cheney, Dr.

Parkburst, Dr. Everts and De. Petrie. At the afternoon service the name of Whittle was added. Major THE AFTERNOON SERVICE.

Only a little over comfortably filled was the Tabernacle in the afternoon, bus those who were there wore more of a funeral aspect than an appearance of thankfulness for blessings conferred. Around the and along the gaiters were long stretches of pulpit white and black muslin, festooned in grieving recollections of Mr. Bliss' untitnely end. A spirit of sadnees prevailed, and the religion that teaches that the death of good men should bring no mourning in its train seemed to bring no consolation to the vast number of serrowing friends. The usual exercises opened with music.

I gave my life for thee, My precious blood I shed, That thon might stransomed be And quickened from the dead- I gave, I gave My life for thee; What has thou given for Me? Mr. Moody spoke of the monument to be erected to Mr. Bliss and wife, and added the name of Major Whittle to the committee appointed in the morning. He had hoped fur some better news, be said, hoped that it might turn out to be a mistake, but a late dispatch from Major Whittle dispelled all this, and confirmed the fret horrible family of the Me Bin recovered, though not recognizable. A collection for the monument was then Lakon 4P, the scat ludd to and after another hymn Mr.

Moody read from the 24th chapter of Matthew, comimencing at the 25th verse. Mr. Sankey sang "Watching and Waiting for and the audience were as still 08 death as the beautiful words rang out. When my final tarswell to the world I have said, And giadly lie dawn to my rest; When softly the wa chers shall say "'He is dead, 11 And fold my pale hands on my breast; And when with my glorified vision at last The walls of city' I see, Will any one then at the beautiful gate Be waiting and watching for the Mr. Moody said that he looked forward to this Sabbath to hear Major Whittle preach and Mr.

Bliss sing. Only Friday night he had told his wife that he was weary, and he anxiously awaited the rest this Sunday promised. But now he found he must take Major Whittle's place. Only one text suggested itself to him, and had been ringing in his bead all day: "THEREFORE BE YE ALSO READY." In the course of his remarks on this subject, Mr. Moody said: Death had taken them by surprise, and had taken Mr.

Blies at the very time the speaker was writing out the notices of Bliss' appearance to-day. He and his wite were snatahed from life. But they Were ready. They might have suffered for a few minutes, maybe for an hour, but when they reached Heaven there was none in all the celestial choir sang sweeter or played better on his golden that barp than P. P.

Bliss. Then he prayed long and earnestly for the unsaved souls, and invoked the richest outpouring of mercy on the obstinate hearts. At times during the prayer he stopped for some minates, utterly nnabla to control big emotions. And then came silent prayer, during which abont two dozen arose on invitation, to ba remembered in the invocation. "Rock of Ages," sang by the congregation, closed the services.

THEN AND -Fulton Times. Uncle Jim's Phrenology. Sweet contentment fills the bosom, When we read that heroes old Were but human--just as we are Prone to catch an awful cold. Washington, the great CommanderIf the history is rightUsed to linger by the coal stove In an every night. Lingered there to muse and ponder, Scratch his back and rub his head, Ere he got a drink of water And climed in wis little bed.

So did Bonaparte, the ruler, And in childhood, we suppose Used to use his thumb and coat sleeve When he went to wipe his nose. Franklin used to fill the window With his worn-out beaver hat, And at night get on the wood-shed To sling boot-jacks at a cat. So the sombre cloud is lifted, And by pressing on before He can rise to be a hero Though he's clerking in a atore. A good old colored man named Uncle Jim Hill set himself up the other day as a phrenologist, and a Woodward avenue barber was his first subject. He placed the barber on a chair, felt of his head for a long time, and then remarked: "William, you is too sanguine.

When you lend money you expect it back. You are billious; you want to be honest, but you hasn't the necessary character; you isn't hopeful; you is bowed down with grief most of de time; you has an ear for music; you has de worst feet on Kentucky street; you is de right sort of a man to wheel coal down bill for big wages." William rose up, pitched Uncle Jim over the stove and under the bed, and split a panel of the door as he went out. The aged phrenologist was at the City Hall last evening to get advice from the police, and when advised to go out of the trade or profession, as the case may be, he replied: "Seems like I shall bave to, for I'za getting too aged to be frown over cook Pittsburgh Bank for Savings, NO. 61 FOURTH AVENUE, PITTSBURGA.
