Sunday in Cincinnati

A LETTER from Cincinnati to the Congregationalist, shows how the people of that city spent Sunday at the time of the General Methodist Episcopal Conference there: "Bishop Simpson preached to 7,500, Mr. Ingersoll spoke to 2,500; the Highland House beer garden administered to 10,000 persons; the Protestant Orphan Asylum 8,000, receiving at the gate and the beer-stands nearly $3,000; about 4,000 were at the base-ball grounds, and many at the theaters. The letter says, "We are a persevering, self-denying and self-indulgent people."
