Oh the first morning of January, 1892, the beloved Editor thus began his little talk to the fourteen friends Who gathered in his sitting-room for praise and prayer, and the reading of the Scriptures:â€" “Passing at this hour over the thres- hold of the New Year, we look for- ward, and what do we see? Could we procure a. telescope which would enable us to see to the end of the year, should we be wise to use it? I think not. We know nothing of the events which lie before us: of life or death to ourselves or to our friends, or of changes of position, or of Sickness or health. What a. mercy that these things are hidden from us 3 If we foresaw our best blessings, they would lose their freshness and sweetness while we impatiently wait- ed for them. Anticipation would sour into weariuess, and familiarty would breed contempt. If we could forsee our troubles, we should worry ourselves about them long before they came, and in that fretfulness we should miss the joy of our present blessings. Great mercy has hung up a veil between us and and the future ; and there let it hang.” on ”M last m’aht of the same memorable 0n Hm last night of the same memorable month of January, the dearly-loved speak- er, who uttered the wise and weighty words, “fell asleep in J esus.” The Words are quickly written ; but who can tell all that they meant to him, and to us who are left to mourn his loss ? Many friends will like to know how that last month on earth was spent ; and by means of a diary, begun by C. H. 8., and continued under his direction, much interesting information can be given. In future numbers of the Magazine, “ Mr. Spurgeon’s Last Drives at Menton” will be described, with [illustrations prepar- ed from photographs, taken either under his personal supervision, or by his special request, Two of the views will be pecu- arly sacred souvenirs of the sunny South in them Mr. Spurgeon Will be seen, seated in his carriage, as he appeared as late as J auuary 8th and 12th.

A certain brother has an exceedingly raplurous experience, full of confidence, communion, and conquest. Does he, therefore, conclude that all true Christian experience must necessarily be of this rJe- lightful order? Does he cast a. doubt upon the sincerity of others, whose spirirual weather is clouded, and even darkened with storms? Let us trust that he will rot be so uncharitable, so unjust. But if a friend, from a. land of fogs and frosts, should insinuate that our report oft the New Year at Menton was fanciful and, fictitious, because he had experienced furs different weather, would he not be very- ungenerous‘? So the brother of sombre spirit and troubled experience is not act- ing as he should do when he judges the cheerful as being frivolous, condemns the rapturous as excitable, and looks upon the confident as presumptuous. He has no right to set up his painful experience as the standard by which to discern the people of God; neither is be justified in denying:' the possibility of unbroken peace because he has never enjoyed it.

On the first Sabbath evening in Januarz , most of the guests in the Hotel Beau Rivaqe remained down stairs in the salon after dinner.

H S. closed the engagements of the evening with a. prayer that will be long remember- ed by all who were present. The mail from India. brings news of the narrow escape from death of the ruler of the State of Morvi, on the 18th of Nov. 1891. It is said that his Highness was at his stables on the evening of that day, and found his grooms searching for a snake that had been seen half-an-hour before. The pursuit however was given up, and the Prince drove out as usual. 0n the way, he suddenly felt a. warm sensation on his chest. He had put on an overcoat; and as he unbuttoned it, a black venomous cobra. fell to the ground in a. heavy coil, and glided away. His Highness drove back at once to the palace. and distribut- ed a sum of Rs. 500 among the poor, and gave feasts the following morning. J an. 5. â€"R. R.

If such were the case, one could see a. new reason for the back cobras, and other dangers : they would become provocative of gener- osity.â€"C.H.S.

A beloved deacon of the Tabernacle Church, Mr. Frank Thompson, being at Lyons. thought he would go as far as Menton, just, to have a look at,his dear Pastor.

His pen seemed to fly along the pages; and many times he paused, that might tell us of the joy-bells ringing in his heart, as he recounted the story of the wonder-working Jehovah: “He brought them forth also with silver and gold; and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.” How little he or anyone else thought that he would never revise another sermon for The llIetropolitan Tabenacle Pulpit!

President FOrwards a Spread-Eagle Rejomder to the British Premier_ British Warships for Behring.r Sea. ‘ WASHINGTON, March 24. â€"The presi- dent’s message transmitting Lord Salis- bury’s reply to the last ncte of this coun- try relative to the modus vivmdi was laid before the Senate in execu:ive session at one o’clock yesterday. Lord Salisbury’s reply is a virtual reiteration of his declin- ation to renew the modus vivendi on the same terms as existed last year. After half an heur’s discussion the correspond- ence was referred to the committee on Foreign Relations. The correspondence 1 was not made public. The president, in his letter, announced that he had made a. rejoinder to Lord Salisbury’s reply. Lord Salisbury’s refusal to consent to a renewal of the inodus vivendi is accompanied with several counter propositions, the reading of which was received with ill-suppressed irritation by the senate. The general character of the note is described as eva- sive and equivocating. The president's rejoinder Was also transmitted to the senate. It is a. pungent communication in which the president broadly hints that Lord Salisbury has not met his overtures in a straightforward business-like man- ner. THE PRESIDENT INSIHTS upon a renewal of the modus vivc'ndi With- out reference to insignifica it orirrelevant conditions. and closes his note with the stirring assertion that if the Government of Great Britain declines to assist in the protection of the seals during the arbitra- tion of the claims of the United States he will proceed to enforce the la A‘s and exclude poachers from Behring Sea, if the military force of the United States is required to accomplish it. The note created a sensation in the senate. There was no expression of opinion by the pre- sident in his letter of transmittal but this was not needed in view of the clearly defined position assumed by him in his rejoinder to Lord Salisbury, which appear- ed to meet with the unanimous approval of the senators, although the debate itself was too short to disclose oflicially the standing of the senators. Lord Salisbury does not, in his note, refuse to enter into a modus irivendi of some kind. He does not flatly refuse to be a. psity to some arrangement, but diplomatically spenking he “fails to consent" to the propo-ition made by this government. Inasmuch as the senate has refused to make the Corres- pondence public, it is exceedingly difficult to get a. clear statement of the idea in- tended to be conveyed in the diplomatic language of such correspondence as that hid before the senate yesterday, but un- doubtedly the impression generally eon- veyed by the reading was that Lord Salis- bury has refused to renew the arrangeâ€" ment of last year. It can be stated that there is nothing in the nature of an ulti- matum on the part of either government in the correspondence laid before the senate. The correspondence is STILL CONSIDERABLY INCOMPLETE and the way is still open for further letter- writing.r in the line of an endemor on the part of each side to show which party is in the wrong. It is expeeted. however, that matters will come to a point and the pre- sident's reply will tend to the sttainment of the desired result. The live stock exporters are looking very blue these days, as they scan the prospects for the approaching season. Owing to the continued heavy supplies of cattle from the United States the British markets have collapsed, prices being very much lower. There is, moreover, no prospect of improvement while the pre- sent. large shipments continue to be made from the United States. and there is no indication that these are likely to fall off. Cables from Liverpool were very discour- aging to those Canadians who have been purchasing American cattle and the only bright spot is that the cattle were bought cheap. There is now a cargo of American cattle owned by Canadians on the way over and these are likely to land on a depressed market. The steamship “Numi- dan” leaves on the 31st with 70 cattle, owned by Canadians, and the Montreal syndicate, which has been operating in Chicago, has a couple more boats to fill at least. With the present state of the English markets. the situation, made worse by the disease in the Old Country, is not of the brightest. One exporter estimated that with the present cost of Canadian cattle they would lose at least LONDON. March 24.â€"-The Graphic says the despatch of a portion of the Pacific squadron northward shows that Lord Salisbury is not disposed to recede from his position. “Happily, there is plenty of time for further negotiations. Presi- dent Harrison has apparently taken Lord Salisbury’s complaisance for irresolution; hence his swaggering rejoinder. A little more correspondence and reflection will show him his mistake.” The Morning Post says: “It Is impossi- ble to believe that when the glsmar of the elections is removed from the eyes of the American statesman they will fail to recognize the inhernet fairness of Lord Salisbury s proposition. So small a matter cannot cause a. fuct mm between two great nations allied by blood. ” The Daily News says: “If the states- men and diplomats on both sides do not. soon find some modus vivendi the arbitra- tion will soon be no more than one of those good intentions a certain place is paved with. As appearances go President Harrison will not necessarily score at all points.” . SALISBURY’S NOTE (To be continued.) Live Stock Trade. $10 per head on the other side. On this account some of the exporters are not operating, but a large number of cattle have already been purchased,and will have to go forward on the opening of naviga- tion. It would look as if freights on the regular lines will Open at about 703. A number of outside boats have been char- tered for May and June, however. and the rate on these is said to be 555. The “Oxenholme” has been chartered for two trips in May and June. The steamships “Canopus,” City of “LinColn.” “Cynthâ€" iana,” “Feliciana” and “Borden Tower” have also been chartered for Cattle in May at the above mentioned rate. Mr. Crowe who was last year the largest exporter of live stock out of Canada, has just returned from a seven weeks' trip to the Old Coun- try. In an interview with a press repre- sentative Mr. Crowe stated that he did not think the prospects for Canadian trade this spring were not of the bright- est. The disease on this side had a bad etfect and then great numbers of Ameri- can cheap cattle were going forward. To the question “How is the outlook for the stocker trade,” Mr. Crowe replied, “That is a very hard thing, to say at this early date. At the same time, however, feed is very high and scarce in Scotland, and this in the face of it might look as if the trade would not look as active as last year. It must be remembered, however, that by the time the stocker trade commences we will have a pretty good idea of how crops will turn out in Scotland, and the trade practically depends upon the results of the crops. I don’t think the disease on the other side will affect the stocker trade at all, as it will be stamped out before the stockersarrive there.” “How have the Canadian stockers done on the other aide ? ” “Very well. The Scotch farmers think a. great deal of our stuckers, and the feed- ers in the north of Scotland now luck to Canada for their supply of stores. Our cattle feed well and have been money makers for the Scotch farmers.” “How about the agitation that is being raised on the other side to stop the impor- tation of cattle on the hoof ? " “I do not think it will affect us at all, Canada presents a clean bill of health, and while our cattle remain free from disease they will be permitted to go into Great Britain. The agitation against the impor- tation of live cattle is being raised by certain agricultural societies that probably suffer from the competition of Canadian cattle.” A cablegram received from Glasgow show the present affect of the disease. The cable read: “Only 91 cattle on the market. Trade paralyzed by the restric- tions, which must injure the Cana'lian trade.” The highest price in Glasgow yesterday was 57§d per 1b., and at that figure Canadian cattle would lose lots of money. At the rate Canadian cattle have been purchased here this season, it would take a Gld market on the other side in order to enable the exporters to make any money.
