Der lost was 4O4 vessels and 642 lives. During
the year 1874, as far as heard from, only 209I

hibits great decrease in the destruction of life

non will do more good than ten just before

number of towns have already spoke for 20 cop

LATE RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.

Nep Success of MssiOns.-Nearly hundred
villages i'll the province of Maqura, India, as ap-
pears from London papers, have very recently
placed themselves under the care of one of the
English MISSIONS in connection with which about
1000 natives have been baptised, and about 1900
are now receiving instruction.
Help from Heather LandS.-The last Report
of the London Missionary Society, which ex'
ponds about 100000 annually, acknowledge
the receipt during the year, of S7S,8Ol from
contributors at its uarious missionary stations.
China.-The American Missionaries at Macao
are now issuing Newspaper, and Occasional
Tracts, printed on metallic type. The Mission
is fast gaining the confidence and esteem of thu
most intelligent among the Chinese.
american Board Of MissiOns.-The receipts o
the present financial year, are $50, 600 create
than they were last year at this time.
The american Sedmea's Friend Society, at
late meeting, resolved to increase the number o
chaplans to preach the gospel to seamen both a
home and abaoad; and with as little delay as posi-
BILE to station chaplain in each ofthe five opeI
ports of China.

In conversation with an intelligent gentleman
from Kentucky, few days since, we asked him
ifthe soil in Indiana was more fertile, or the eli
mate more agreeable than in Kentucky.
He replied they we're not.
''Then why did you leave that State7"
"Because,' was his answer, "Kentucky is a

nor should have been willing to own them if |
had been able; and for free man to work a.

LETTER FROM BALTIMORE.

The Baltimore Conference and Slavery-Mary-
land to be free-The Saturday Visitor-The
Penitentiary-Rev G. t. Torrey.
A correspondent of Zion's Herald writes :-----
" The entire action of the present session has
settled the point, trust forever, that no man
can have any connection with the Conference
and slavery The entire body are thoroughly
imbued with anti-slavery sentiments, | shall
not go too far in saying, that | have never asso-
Grated with more thorough-going body of anti
slavery men than the Baltimore Conference
Brethren in New England may be assured that
the cause of humanity will not suffer in their
hands Their opposition to slavery is manifest
ed not only in their Conference action, but pub
lcly and in private. | have learned Of one in
stance, at least when slavery was rebuked in
one Of the largest congregations in this city, by
one of our Minister'S and the traffic Of slaves de-
nounced as piracy. The antl-slavery feeling is
very strong generally in this city among all class
es | venture the assertion that there is quite
as much ant-slavery in this as in your own city.
The day is not far distant when Maryland will
be free State. The Saturday Visitor, a weekly
paper published by Dr. Snodgrass in this city,
deserves particular attention. Its columns are
open for the discussion of this subject, 1t is an
independent journal that is doing good service
for the cause of freedom, and ought to be patro-
nized literally by northern men.
The last Sabbath, at my own request, preach
ed at the penitentiary. My congregation was
composed of about two hundred and eighty con-
victs. Three overseers and perhaps twenty other
individuals came to crafty their curiosity. The
prisoners were attentive, and many Of them wept
Among them noticed the Rev. G. II. Torey
from your State. His place was on the seal
in front near the pulpit. He had his Bible and
followed me in the reading Of the scripture les

spent an hour with him. His situation is as tol.
cradle as he could expect perhaps he is favored
more than any other prisoner. The opinion
seems to prevail here that he will be pardoned i

He seems to be very happy for one in his sit

In ten years, between 1889 and 1910, the
money value ofthe staple commodity of the slave
breeding States, was one hundred and seventy
four million of dollars, nearly two hundred mill
ion dollars. The number of slaves sent from
the slave-breeding States to the slave importing
States, between 80 and 40, is four hundred
thirty six thousand five hundred and one, which
at Mr.. Clay's moderate estimate per head, would
make nearly two hundred millions Of dollars
This exhibits the cause of opposition of some Of
the slave States, to the foreign slave trade, q
prohibitory tariff was necessary to encourage the
home tariff Who can estimate the misery and
suffering which the four hundred thirty six thou
sand five hundred and one human beings must
have endured, who were the victims of the do
mestic sIave-trade.
Upon the most moderate calculations, between
1920 and 1890 space of ten years-not less
than three hundred twenty seven thousand five
hundred and forty seven human beings were
premaaurely worn out and killed on the cottor
and sugar plantations of the far South.
The only slave States which have actually
diminished the number of slaves since 1890 are
Delaware and Maryland. Delaware has lost II
per cent; Maryland ID per cent The whole
increase of slaves in the Union from 1890 tt
1910, is l,S2S, 296,or 278 per cent.

QUESTIONS FOR Discussion IN LYcEuMs.

1. Does the study of the history of our
American Indian tribes engender a taste for
hunting wild game and scalping hnman be-
ings!
2. Is there among our Indian tribes any
trace of general law ofequity to which IN
tcrnational disputes can be referred Tor adj
justment.
3. Is there any true resemblance between
the battle oftwo armies and the conflict be-
tween the plaintiff and defendant in court
of law?
A. In national disputes, how far does prin-
ciple govern before the resort to arms9 and
how far does principle triumph after the
battle is overl
s. How far does the law ofnature go to-
wards establishing the system of arbitration!
