Railroads and steamers bringing in exam- ples of the wealth, skill and ower of other commercial centres to deve op this great city! But within those great exchanges I see the trials and struggles which make life a burden, breaking down strong men, who fall before their time; taking away from them all opportunity for intellectual culture, and dulling the conscience and relegating them to a lower standard of life. There is a story going on in every one of those ex- changes.

I see women in the lap of indo- lence, breathing out a wasted life. I see a a cOuple sitting down at the evening meal scarce exchanging a word. In another house I see the skeleton in the closet. Then think of the poverty of a great city like ours in descending grades. There is quiet and re- spectable poverty. Its nearest neighbour knows nothing of it. There is the poverty of the professional classes, and so on down until we reach the nttermost strata, where we meet want, hopeless and degraded pov- erty. Think of it till your sympathies are turned to practical account. Think of the sickness and snfiering that grow out of this poverty. Think of the ten thousand saloons, centres of sin and misery- Many of them, I grant, are respectable, but yet they are the centres of untold suffering, misery and degradation. Think of these fallen women and remember that they were once pure. Their life means shame, remorse, oiokneu, suffering, in the end death. You tell me then pitiful is not the word for theee poor thin; things. “ Think of the children growing up under theee abnormal conditions.

These resu ts, hethinks, may be but a small part of what will follow discoveries in bac- teriology. He points out that the oondi~ tions necessary to the development of many Ydiseases seem to bea susceptibility on the part of the individual, and the lodgment and multiplication of. special bacteria in the sys- .,_ -_.s. 3- that “I“.‘l'unv‘wovu v- -rvvâ€"vw w-.- 7 tom.

Quite a sensation has been caused ini political circles, both in England and on the continent, and wide attention attracted l generally, by a semiofliclal note published by the Berlin press. The note containsa protest against the opposition of England‘ to the efforts of Germany in Zanzibar. It asserts that anti~German tendencies prevail ‘ in England, and the 00-0 ration in African, schemes that might be giten to Germany is, 1 through their influence, denie i. “ Germany‘ is forced to conclude," says the note, “ thstl England does not need Germany’s friend- I ship." Then follows what may be locked on as a warning to the insular power :â€"“ It is true thatit is improbable that situations may arise in the immediate future in which England may feel the want of friendship from a Continental power, but such a condition of affairs is not impossible.” The note is but the legitimate outcome of a feel‘ ing that has long existed in Germany over‘ the hesitation of En lish politicians to commit the British cvernment to the doubtful policy of assisting Germany‘to help herself to whatever benefits the east coast of Africa may present. The ostensible object of the desired cc-partnershi is to root out the slave trade and to ma e East Africa and Zanzibar safe for Europeans. As a colonizer and reclaimer of savage countries England has greater success than Germany, andthe latter knows this, and for this reason longs for English assistance. But England does not procose to hel Ger- manypoloniae Africa, and this isw y the cooperation is denied. Sir Charles Russell, ex-Atwrney-Genersl and leading counsel for Mr. Parnell, has a well-known trick of drivin a point home to ejury which is inimitable y any other ad- vocate. He begins to lead up to it with his right hand in his tail-pocket,under his gown. Thence he extracts a snufi'box, transfers it to his left hand, opens it, takes a pinch be: tween the finger and thumb of his right, and with the box still in his left hand, and thc pinch still in transitu, he maka his point unerringiy. so that it reaches his hearers minds at the precise moment at which tht pinch reaches its destination. Then, with an inimitable flourish of a red and yellow handanna, the oratorical effort is complete. But to be properly appreciated it must b4 seen.

" I do not claim," he said, “ that everybody wmoos to the theatre is neces sarily a very person, but ople who are noted for their devontness eu charity, and are eager in their efforts to bring souls to the Lord J own are not among the class that go to theatres. Mr. Moody knew who he was talking about when he said he would not give much for theatre going, card playing, dancing Christians. \YHA'I‘ THE THEATRE GOERS ABE. “The mean of theatre goers are very worldly people.

And that, then the reateet, was but one of many rebellions wh eh have occurred in For- mosa since it became tributary to the Middle. Kingdom about two centuries ago. Indeed, the eastern part of the island still claim independence, and wars have oiten been waged between its savage mountaineers and the Chinese settlements on the western coast aided b the Imperial forces. The resent outbrea is in the fertile portions of t e west and south, where the Imperial Government has been arran ing for heavier taxation, and; has thus stirre up both the native popula- tion and.Chinese settlers. Doubtless the naval and military ioree which China can bring to bear will eventually suppress the rebellion.
