In \"tho day» of long ago\u201d most varied and IntorMtlng la character and style.It is troc that the fashion, a» Conrad» aagely conjecture», wears oat more apparel than the man; but, from Ita in fluence upon men, man ncra and morals.It is not unworthy of the attention of a Buckle or a Macaulay.The relation Of a particular fashion to a particular state of society is very obvious, and we may trace the spirit of an age In the attire peculiar to it It is not onr intention, however, to inflict upon onr readers a dissertation on tho various costumes in vogue from time to time,) such as worn by a Sidaef, an Essex, a Leicester, or a Burleigh ; a George Villien, a Kaletgb, a Sir Thomas Qlover or a Brummeli\u2014to do so would be, though perhaps fairly Interesting to some quite out of plaoe in an advertisement.What we want to get at and to impreas on the publie mind is that though, owing to the COSMOPOLITAN CHARACTER of the drew of the present dav, there is now little enongh, at far as attire 1s concerned, to separate a nobleman from any other gentleman and that though there la not, now a4ay*, tho extreme sumptoouBoess of dress In which our (eventetath-eentury ancestors indulged, still there are, without doubt, quite ahnmber of Hard and Fast Rules by which a gentleman must be governed If he has the slightest ambition to be even the smallest star In the galaxy which now shines.If not with such effulgence as erst was the case, oer tainlywlth more steadiness.A gentleman Id the present day wishes to be nlic :yi I DRESSED WELL AND IN GOOD TASTE, and to this end he invariably rvmnt/ea stores where the proprietors are\tto be thorougly enterprising and are crrfwu to have the NEWEST STYLES, ccuiMned rtth the FINEST QUALITIES, of all the go 'da ney handle.The generally expressed option among our many enstomers is that ire \u2018 till tne bill\u2019\u2019 exactly In that respect, aud that our store is facil* prinerpt in the Dominion of Canada for all

ta Ma WUnsu.| Ottawa, April 11.THK LlqUOR l.K KNHK ACT.1883.In the House on Thursday Sir John Mac donald explained the nature of the amendments proposed to be made to the new Dominion License Act.Owing to the special ctrcutn stances that exist in British Columbia It is proposed to make an amendment with regard to (he rommlsHtoneni.and to have the warden of the county one ot them, and another sh.-Ul he both warden and mayor.In Chleoutlml, Saguenay, Oas|>« and Bnnavsnture where there Is no organized machinery, the Governor in council la to appoint the commissioner.The clsuse In tho act providing that the Iteenses should be on stamped paper was considered In convenient ami Is repealed.It Is proposed to extend the time for tbe applleatlon of license) till the 1 nth of May.and in British Columbia until tho Ifith of June.It la proposed that In caro of applleatlon for hotel, saloon or shop license by a person who it not a holder of a license and for premises not thm llcented, the petition shall be accom panted by a certlflcale signed by one-third of the electors of the polling districts In which the premises Is situated.There Is a necessity for an amendment of tho clause which prorldea that « very hotel shall be la separate buildings and that no other shop* of any kind shall be attached to IL It la found that it cuta off the Windsor Hotel, the Rosaln House, the Rnsscll and a number of other houteR where the ground floor Is occupied by shops, although they are separate ostibltshmonts.It is also proposed to make a change tn the clause which waa Introduced by an bon.member from (^ua-bee, respecting the practice tu municipalities up to the time of confederation.It la proposed that all those by-law» which were carried out In consequence of the law which obtained before confederation and were not repealed, shall be In force, up to the time of the passing of this act.It !» not proposed to put In a clause doing away with the penalties by enactment A penalty will be Imposed for not taking out a license under the Dominion Act.As stated before It la settled that thare will be an Immediate reference to tjie Supreme Court to decide upon tbe constitutionality of the Act, and the Government have decided to remit all lines and penalties where parties are prosecuted for not having out a license before the constitutionality of the Act has been decided.It la proposed to strike ont the clauses of the resolution provld Ing that any daflotcncy In tbe lice nse fund In respect to expenses may be made good out of moneys voted by rarllament for the purpose Mr.Bioko did not think that Sir John was dealing fairly with the Uonse In some respects with this measure.With regard to the ealartoa It Is proposed to leave Parliament without any opportunity of considering and of oonflrmlng the disposition of the money with respect to the salaries.Tbe motion ot the hon.member for Maaktuongo (Mr Boude) wax defeated by an ameudment moved >>y the Minister of public wotka, which amendment wan sustained by Ministerial ntatement upon the faith of which the House wsui asked to act, and that was that those penalties would tie suspended and that pro vision would be made for an appeal to the Privy Council or the bupreuio Court.Now It Is proposed not to suspend the penalties, not to keep faith with the House : but to do something very different\u2014to give an Intimation In Peril» ment that In ease any man is profiecuted, and In cane the penalties are imposed, the Govern ment will exercise the power ot tho Crown to remit them.But that leaves the dealer subject to prosecution, and to the payment of the costa of prosecution.Tho bill does not contain any provision for the reference to tho Bupreme Court, whleh is yet essential In order to the proper treatment of tbe question.Nothing will bo nnfllclent, however, except the decision of the court of ultimate resort.Mr.Blake complained about leaving this Important ques tlon to the dying hours of tho session.Sir John, in replying, stated that no pledge bad been broken.Instead of the penalties being suspended, the Crown will exerolao Its undoubted right to remit all the penalties.In stead of being minimized, the arrangements are enlarged and made more workable.As regards tbe constitutionality of the Act, that can be ascertained by only ono or two ways.First by a reference by theCrown to tho Supremo Court, ned second by proceeding bv way of appeal.The first mode can only be followed by a reference by the Crown, and It Is proposed to Invite all the provinces to appear by counsel and dis cuss the constitutionality of the measure.If by way of appeal this can only be done by the ordinary mode.The Government are quite ready to submit tbe question at onee to the 8u preme Court or to the Privy Council or both.Sir John Introduced a bill founded on the resolutions.THK KAILWÀV SUBSIDIES.In moving the House Into committee on Thursday, lu the resolution to grant subsidies to certain railways, Sir Charles Tapper dwelt at great length on the Importance of railway communication.All countries, he said, recog sized the construction of railways as one of the greatest means of promoting tbe advancement of progress, and Canada was not behind the rest of the wcrld In that regard.He spoke of railway work In each of tbe provinces.In British Columbia provision hsd been made to extend a lino from Nanaimo down to the harbor of Victoria.in the North West, besides the construe tlon of the Canadian Pacific Railway, arrangements have been made for tho construction of branches opening up the leading sections of that Province.Provision has also been made for an additional outlet for the great North West, by a line to Iludaon\u2019s Bav.In Ontario an expenditure of (22,7(>0.000 baa baen Involved in connection with the construction of the great transcontinental railway.Alluding to the Province of (Quebec he said : no person will question for a moment the fact that If provision had not been made by the Province of (Quebec for the construction of a railway from Quebec to Ottawa, this House would have regarded, tbe country would have regarded the Canadian Pacific Itallway aa entirely Incomplete.Tne fact that tne Government of Ouebec anticipated that action, the fact that the Government of Quebec have stnee Confederation expended from tnelrown treasury a tun of over $1-1,000,000 In the construction of railways within tbe Province of Quebec, Instead of diminishing their claim to consideration atthlslatehonr, strengthens It very much; thl« fact Increases the strength of their position In approaching the Government os they have done and asking to be recouped a fatr amount of .that money and to be placed relatively in somewhat the same position as that wbfch they would have occupied If they had not been so forward to promote that which Is admitted on all sides to be the great national work of thla country.After fall and fair consideration of the proposals that were made and of the fact that they had exhausted tbe resources of the Province of Quebec In thla effort, tbe Government came to the conclusion that the Government of Quebec were entitled to a grant of $12,000 per mile for that portion of the road that had already become a link and a lection of the Canadian Pacific Railway, that portion lylug between the city of Montreal and Ottawa, and as regarded the otber portion, tbe only doubt that existed an to the propriety of expending the $12,000 per mile from Montreal to the harbor of Quebec arose from the fact the Government of Quebec bad parted with that portion of tne railway, and that, at this moment.It did not afford that short and unrestricted line of communication for the Canadian Pacific Railway to make the Harbor of Quebec that which it la believed, In the Intereat of the whole of thla country, U la desirable it should be made, namely, the summer terminas of the Canadian Pacific Railway.Under theae clrcamatancee, It waa thought jndleious to appropriate $0,000 per mile to tbe Government of Qua bee for that portion of the line extending from Montreal to the Harbor of Quebec, and to ask Parliament for an appropriation for an equal amount, $0,000 a mile, for the purpose of ensuring the extension of the Canadian Pacific Railway from Its Sscent terminus at Montreal to the harbor of labee ; and the resolution states very ex-pilelty the mode in which that appropriation wllluaod.The amount embraced In these resolutions for the extension of what may be oalled tho national lino of railway from the shores of the Pacific to Quebec and ita exten- sion from Quebso to the Maritime Pf-vlnf a, also ambraoae a connection between the Canadian I\u2019acldo Railway and the International boundary.It la prorstsed to ask fee \u2022 subsidy for sixty miles of railway, extending from Quebec and covering the d latence from Heauce Junction on the Quebec Central tp the \u201c.'îr?.*.1100*1 boundary, which will add the anm of $^11,200 ; this wifi make an appropriation, under these resolutions, for the purposn of obtaining tbe shortest tnter-ooeenle Mae of ccmmnnlnatton from Quebec and through Quebec to the Canadian Pacific Itallway proper at Ottawa, of $3,503,200.^Refler* w * IP .th?Muoition of the Atlantic t#mtna« he alluded to 8t.Andrew\u2019s ae an edratm-b.e port, and the port of all porta In Canada the nearest to Montreal, within 377 milea ef the ofin uterclal metropolis, and only 78 mile* fm-tlar ihan U 1» from Montreal to PurtlandL, ; i\tthe aubstdlea to local roads, he said he Government felt Justified In granting them Losnee they felt convinced that the I nor.seed trail» caused by the operation of iheee roeda vould add enough to the revenue of the eocm-trr to overbalance the propoeed expenditure.i he motion to go into committee waa carried without dehate, but while in committee Mr» Blake end a few other members erltletsed some of the detatla of the resolutions.Senator Maepherson\u2019e attack on Mr.Mowatta the Senate on Thursday evening Is much \u2022poken of around the Houea today.It le mid that the official stenographers

Justice Hagarty and a special jury at the York assizes, Toronto, on Monday last.The plaintiff, William Mara la a stock broker, of the firm of Merer*.Farley A Mara, and seeks damages from Messrs.Cox A Worts.He complains as follow*\t.The plaintiff and his clients, In the early part of 1883, expected that tho Federal Hatfk stock wonld Increase largely In valae It was then selling at abont 158, with a dlvLlend of seven percent, and It was expected th»' lu tne fall of that year the stock would be worth 20U and pay a dividend of ten percent.Mr.Mara there fore Invested very largely In this stock.Not having sufficient money tocarry the stock himself ho transferred it to Cox & Worts, who mado adyenre* on It In all bo purchased abont l,t!MO ahares, which représenta about $250, 000.Mr.Mara's chief object In buying tha 'shaies waa to get them out of the market aud hold them This would create a scarcity of the stock, and Ita value would consequently In-creaze.These transactions began last .1 ane\u2019.and continued until October, bat at the latter time the stock was plentiful In tho market, and fell in value as low as 122.In Oetober 1.080 shares remained In tbe hands of Cox & Worts, aud they called npon Mr.Mara to take this stock off their hands.Abont this time Mr.Mara discovered what he alleges U> be a conspiracy against him.Cox & Worts were ala* Interested In the Federal stock, but their object was to run down Its vaine.On reoel/lng Mr.Mara's stock they at once put It on the market again, and that gentleman, In hla efforts to keep the vaine np, was In reality buying his own stock over and over.Mr.Mara claims that Cox & Wbrta simply acted as his bankers, and had no right to sell tho stock.Cox & Worts, on the other hand, say that this course Is always adopted by brokers.It Is on this point that the contest lies.Tho plaintiff claims about $20,000 damages for, among other reasons.the defend&nts having wrongfully sold the stock, and for Interest wrongfully charged ou pledses when the fact was that they had heeu already sold.\t,\t.\t.Mr.Ogden.Assistant Secretary of the Stock Exchange, gave evidence as to the transactions on the Stock Exchange.Mr.Mara gave an account of hla transactions wlt$ Cox & Worts which led to the present action.For the defence.Mr.Cox swore thst It was customary for stock-brokers to dfal with stock held bv them as he had done.Mr.Forbes, Mr.Gzowsk), Aid.Farley and others gave evidence to the same effect.RAWDON NEWS.( Cor respond tnce of the Witness.)

domiciled In this ronntry onr government Is likely to become embroiled In quarrels which may possibly lead to more serious consequences.It Is generally believed abroad that the dynamite explosions In Kugland and the revolutionary crimes perpetrated lu Austria and eleowhere were put on foot and directed by persons In the United States.Some little time ago tbe English press vehemently Insisted upon tho British Govern mont entering a protest agalost our onr au thorltlea harboring and protecting persons engaged In disturbing the peace of Eng land.Now a London special to the fetader says that Austria complains of the Unfed Stares, and has asked England to unite with her In a joint protest.It is alleged that tbe Austrian authorltira have proof that tbe murders end soclallstlo outrages recently perpetrated In Vienna were Instigated from this country.Count Kalnocky, the Austrian Minister of foreign Affairs, In an official note to Lord Granville, says that the revolutionary crimes

THE GOSPEL.(iVoM a CorritpondenL) Wa are sorry to hsar what a atrantre and ln« compréhensible clashing of opinions there Is between tho higher and the lower Russian authorities about the circulation of Oospel tracts, and even about the distribution of the Scriptures.It Is a well known fact that the Oevern-ment and the Qreek Church profess to believe In the circulation of Scriptural truth.It must be confessed, too, that the heads ef the Empire and of the Church generally set consistently with this profession.The Senate deserves tho gratitude of the whole Russian people for the cheap and neat .'orm In which It has Issued the Gospels.The Uovernmsnt, too, have shown their willingness for theae to be distributed amongst the lowest classes by tho permission they have recently given respecting the prisons.The same may also be satd of most of the priests, but not of all.There are some of these whose lives will not boar the light of God\u2019s Word, who have a deadly hatred against Its circulation.Home of the police, of the lower order especially, and sometimes even the provincial governors, join them.The following Is an Illustration of the power these possess, and the trouble they can cause.Last week Mr.H., an Englishman, and a Mr.Almanofaky, his clerk, were summoned to appear before the Governor at Tamboff.They live eighty miles off, and had to travel all night, and a great part of the way by horses.On their arrival at the residence of the governor It was evident he was In no amiable mood.The following la a brief outline of the Interview Governor: \"1 sent for you because vou are engaged In spreading propaganda \u201d itemerv berlng the long, cold, weary journey, and also the authority by which the tracts and gospels were lasned, Mr.ii could not help smiling.This added gicutly to the governor\u2019s anger, and he exclaimed : \u201c I wish for ne smiling faces : I am not joking.I did not send for yon to smile or joke.\u201d Mr.IL : \"It la no joke to have come 1110 versts.\u201d Governor: \"You don\u2019t like it ; then don't engage in the devil of a P-'a propaganda.Send him all his tracts, A-c., back, and tell him to send no more if he wishes to retain you lu his service ; for If you distribute any more, or any more are sent to the place, I will send you both to Siberia.Do you understand I\u201d Mr.H.\u2014\u2022\u2019 Yes, but I am engaged in spreading no propaganda.I nave only given away Gospels when travelling by rail, and if this Is prohibited, I wtll desist.I will not, however, be answerable for what tracts or books are sent.\" Governor\u2014\" But you shall be answerable, and If yon don\u2019t like that, throw up your place and take yourself off, for I tell yon again that If any more are amt I\u2019ll send you to Siberia at once.Yon may go.\u201d The Almanofaky, who earns barely sufficient to keep bis wife and three young children, and who may be sent to Siberia any day, spoke out and said, \" But I cannot promise to discontinue, for If I do, I shall only break my promise.\u2019\u2019 Governor: \"Vou won\u2019t! i\u2019ll arrest you at once, I\u2019ll arrest you at once.\u201d Almanofaky (taking from bis pocket his well worn Testament) \"I was going to ask you to allow me to read a little out of this book.\u201d Governor: \"You are mad, you are mad.I'll bave you to the asylum,\u201d and rushing to the telephone he cried : \"Connect with number eight, connect with number eight! is number eight connectedt Find at once head of police.Send him here.\u201d Upon his appearance be told him to draw up a protocol.\"H.\u201d raid he.\"acknowledges giving away Gospelr, hut has promised to discontinue.Almacofsky acduowledgos giving away tracts, hot refuses to discontinue.\u2019 Whilst the protocol was being prepared, the governor took Mr.H.to his cabinet, and reasoned more geutly with him.Mr.H.: \" I simply gave away a low Uo.'pels.I never spoke a word against tho Russian Church or Its rites.It Is nothing that has led to this bnt the spite of the priest\u201d Governor: \"Quite possible.Has Almanofaky money on band If you go with-out him.\u201d Mr.H.: \" Yes.but cannot you allow Jiim to return with me.as you can take proceedings against him jast the ramel\u201d Governor : \" No, I have telegraphed to Petersburg, and must wait for an ans *er.\" Mr.H.was then dlstnUted, and Almanofaky sent for.On entering the governor's presence, he found an officer of gendarmes there also.Governor: \" Why cannot you agree to discontinue, and »o stop this affair f\u201d Almanofsky gave his reasons, and read a few passages from his Testament to conürm them.The governor doubted it the book frem which he had been reading was the New Testament.Almanofaky showed him that l?was printed by the Holy Bynod.and Issued with their blessing.Governor: \"Yououghtto show that to the Head of the Church.\u201d Almanofsky offered It to him He declined It.Tho protocol was now ready.Mr.EL objected to Mgn, till be had added a note stating that to prohibition had before been given.Alman of say objected to It on other grounds also, and refusril to sign at all.The governor told them that they might go out into tho town, but were not to leave till they heard from him on the morrow.On the morrow, not having heard from Petersuurg, be permitted thorn to leave for home.Thus the matter rests for the present.Do these officials not ceo that, by thus stopping the spread of Gospel truth, they are playing Into the hands of the Socialistic and tawicss part of the community Î Or Is It that the desire to show their power has more In-lluence with them than olther the parity of the Church or the prosperity of the Empire Y If only more would seek thus to spread the love of God\u2019s Word lawlessness would sooner disappear.Yet hero are these men, compelled.to travel at their own expense, and in the depth of winter, a distança of ICO miles,and even threatened with banishment to bloerla.And for what t Bccauto they have given away books which the Censor permits, the Bynod prints and the Church blesses.Burely such anomalies are unknown, except In Russia.We are, however, In hopes that the authorities in Petersburg will give the officials concerned with this matter such a reprimand that they will not again become tools In the hands of a wicked but wily priest.The present Is, indeed, a critical time In Russian history.Nihilism Is by no means dead.The people, as a whole, however, are loyal to the backbone.Besides this, Godsoems to have crested In the hearts of thousauds u longing to read his own Wotd, and to bo guided by It Under such clrcutnsmuces, It is u most self-destructive policy which keeps from tho people the Book widen teaches them that they are to be subject lo the higher powers, to honor the king, and to pray for him, and for all who are In authority.Surely all who wlsn well to Russia and her people will pray that the time may soon come wheu the Word of God can be freely given, neither police nor priest daring to Inter-lere.\u2014Aomion CAr ittian JPoi-M.PROTESTANT AND ROMISH MISSIONS.We are not amongst those who hesitate to assert that Protestant missions, both In the character and the rapidity or their progress, have been far more successful than those of the Romish oburett.As au lllas'-railou of our meaning, we point once again to the ofttyi quoted parallel between Gougo and Madagascar.We call to mind how Congo at one time seemed, through the efforts of Kjmtih missionaries, to have been permanently added to Christendom ; and yst how, alter comparatively a few years had passed away,\u2014heathen chiefs having In the meantime become predominant in that country, and the European teachers having oeen driven away,\u2014every vestige of the apparent success disappeared, and not onu native adherent of tae Roman Catholic Church was found remaining.In Madagascar, on the other*hand.when the Protestant missionaries ware expelled tho native Cbristlaus numbered only a few hundreds Bnt this small and feeble body, having Indeed the Bible In their hands lu their own language, but for upward of twenty tlvo years deprived of all European, and Indued of ail human aid, viewed with disfavor by their sove-rtdgn, and .subjected every now and then to severe and determined persecution, yet con tmuallv giew and multiplied, unii', on tho ar rival of happier times, when toléra too was granted aua the missionaries were permitted to return, the professed believers in tno gospel bad become a powerful community, and the church, as a whole, had made a marked advance both In zeal and In religious Intelligence.Tahiti is ancther illustrative case.It may perhaps have been partly owlug to Jesuit Intrigue that the French, unjustifiably, as It has always seemed to English public opinion, first seized the Island ; and It was certainly tha protoctlon of Roman Catholic missionaries that was made, at least, tho pretext for the aggression.Hut yet, though the French hare, to a certain extent, Gallicized the Inhabitants, all attempts to Romanize them have utterly failed.The simple laltnders have accepted the Pr nch dominion and the French language; but they still continue, or at least the great majority of them, to hold the Protestant tenets of those who first evangelized them, and French Protestant missionaries are now recognized by the government as their spiritual teachers.S Once more.In India, though the Romish missions have been established for a far longer period than those of the Protestant churches, vnd have naturally, In copsequonce, a larger number of adherents, yet our progress Is far more rapid, the number of adherents having trebled In twenty years, and the progress being nch that, If It continues with the stme ac- celeration of Increase for seven more decades, that la to say, nntll the middle of next century, the whole population of India will hare accepted a Protestant Christianity,\u2014reckoning, that la to say, with or wlthont the permission of onr High Church friends, tho Church of England as a Protestant body.We maintain, therefore, that missionary effort conducted on Reformation principles gives abundant proof of being that which will ultl ruately triumph.\u2014CTturrh J/isaonury gtnetr.RELIGIOUS NBW8.ArBK'A.\u2014Western.\u2014Dr.Sims, of the Living atone Inland Mission, says, .Mr.Stanley\u2019s methods are \"kind, wise and patient;\u201d be has the confidence of the natives, and there la no danger of the French acquiring rontrol.-Mersra.Comber and Bentley, of the English Baptist mission, with Dr.Sims, have clrcum navigated Stanley Pool, and find that It Is about twenty-four miles long, and tho same In width, and Interspersed with many low, grassy Islands.One Island is covered with forest, In which are found elephants, buffalo and other game.China Inland Mission\u2014At the beginning of 18b.'), the mission had seventy men, besides women, In China, and sent ont sixty more during the year.None of the missionaries have fixed salaries ; abont one fourth support themselves, another feurth have some personal property, another fourth are sided by special friends, and the remaining fourth receive their support from the mission,\u2014about $\u201820 per month for single and $10 for married men.The missionaries have been driven out of Slgan, capital of the Shen si Province, and formerly capital af the country, by the literati, or educated class.Jata A-The week of prayer In Japan was a week oVResslng.The wonderful revival still continues.Tho snnnal meeting of the Evangelical Alliance of Japan ocourred on January 10th of this year.The 80 churches which were represented reported 5,488) members, and 17 not reported bring the total to 0,500.Tha contributions of native Christians were given at 10.100 yen (Japanese dollars).The Amor! can Bible Society circulated 15,001,540 pages of Scriptures, or OO.OOl portions, and the National Bible Society of Scotland 40,'275.In 1850 there were no native Christians and no Christian literature.The Increase of membership during the last year has been nearly equal to the total membership after seventeen years\u2019 work.The Fate cp MAPAnAScAU.\u2014It is useless to try to disguise the results of French supremacy In Madagascar.It means that British planters and traders must leave, and the British Infin-t-nco must come to an end.It means, in the second place, that the English missionaries, who have made the Hovas what they are, must cease their noble work, or turn It over to the Jesuits.It means, in the third plaoe, the downfall of the system of education which has been laboriously built up.It means, fourthly, that the slave trade will be revived (It has already received an Impetus), and that the trade In rum, which tin lato queen tried to break up, will fipurlsh again.It means, fifthly, the decay orthe civilization and religion which H hss cost so mnch In life and treasure to establish, and the downfall of the little nation which has been so full of promise and encouragement.Is there any word that can measure the enormity of the evil which France Is now about to perpetrate on the harmless, prosperous Malagasy l\u2014TAs Jmltpendent.Madaoascar.\u2014Our people have been tried, are still being trfcd, and we fear there are still greater trials In store for them In the luture ; hat Ills something to be able to tell that so far they have stood their trials well, and bare borne up bravely under them Their brhavlor all through these trying times hss proved that they have not all received the Gospel la vain.Any thing more creditable to the spirit of true (.'hilsttanTty than the conduct of the Hovas toward the French subjects, has boon seldom soon and would certainly be very difficult to Imagine.The conduct of the Malagasy all through has been simply ¦pleudld, ana such ss even we h&rdly expected to boo.Even some of those who used to make a point of sneering at our work, and were never weary of saying and writing the most unpleasant things they could thiuk of abont It.are now forced to confess that \"the mlsslonarlrs havo certainly done something for the Malagasy,\u201d and that \"ChrLtlan-Ity has certainly taken a greater bold of tho Malagasy than ever they believed it bad.\u201d\u2014 Iter.T.1.JUathtui, in tho London Aliulonary Chronicle The FuxnchmaN, says the Presbyterian Foreign Mittionary, Is everywhere, just now, Investing In real estate.In Madagascar and Tonqnln he gets It by bombardment; on the Ggovd and on the Congo by a species of small diplomacy, in which Me Brazza bat secured some fame, but which the king of Belgium aud the International backers of Stanley\u2019s expedition do not propose to regard as valid.On tho Senegal and tho head waters of the Niger preoccupation is the plan ; but lu the Bouth Boa Islands land Is obtained by purchase with tobacco and dynamite and small pocket money.A missionary of the Presbyb-rlan Church of Canada, writing from the New Hebrides, says: \" Did 1 mention In my last that the French had purchased the Island of Irirlkl from the Fela natives, forcing the payment of It on them I The Commodore was here last week and settled the matter very satlsfaotorlly, at least to me, of course not so to the French.We visited Fela and found tho people very much frightened until the Commodoro assured thorn that all we wanted way an explanation of the sale, as the Island had been sold to the missionaries years ago.It app.-vrs from their account that the French forceu tho payment on them, saying that If they did not take It It would be thrown into the sea, and pussesslou would be taken of the island.The amount paid was three pounds In gold, a quantity of tobacco aud a quantity of dynamite.It Is sufficient to say that this nice little bit of French conquest was simply undone.The mlsslontrles held their gronnd.and the French colonial possessions are not enlarged.A Paper by the Rev.Dr.Happer, of Shanghai, In reference to the statistics of Buddhism, has recently cahed out muah comment from the newspapers The question has more of in-urest than of Importance.Where religion sits so lightly upon mi-n that it Is difficult to deter-mine whether they are one thing or the other.It Is of no great consequence wnlch of the two they are.Tne fact as to the number of Bud-dblnts In the worul turps upon the question Whether the Chinese are to be counted as Con-fuclsnlsts or Boddbtttfc Dr.Happer maintains that two hundred and sixty five millions of the population In C'nlaa, Corea, and Anam.are to fcc reckoned simply as Confuclantsts, and gives good relisons lor this opinion There Is prooably nothing In Confucianism to prevent one who classed nlaiself as accepting that faith from worshipping at any other shrine, as well as at his own.The Chinese, It Is said, often go straight from a Confuctan to a Buddhist temple to offer worship They may be regarded ss the people, par rrcelh nct, who believe that religion consists In life, not In faith.But reckoning the Chinese ns In the main Confuclantsts.and the Japanese as Snlntolsts, Buddhism can claim only the populations of Siam.Burmah, Thibet, Ceylon, Mongolia, and Manchuria.Tuess countries, together with 20,000.000 Buddolsts la China, Corea, and Anam, give, sc lording to Dr.Happer, but 72,242,000 Buddolsts In the world.It will be remembered that Edwin Arnold, In hts \" Light of Asia,\u201d gave their number as 470,000,000.When Elihia eeut the King of Israel with a handful of arrows to symbolize the victory

neglect which, even after nineteen centuries, leaves so large a proportion of the world unenlightened, mauy point to the vastness of the desolation and say, \" It cannot be true that God will let so many millions perish eternally.\u201d Thus neglect is followed by apathy, and apathy by doubt\u2014that form of doubt which strikes at the v*rv foundations of onr Christian belief.\" All men are to
