The MADARrAN AND THE ENGLISH La

The MADARIAN AND THE ENGLISH La
Dy.-The degraded position Of females
in China is well known. Nothing aslon-
ishes the Cinnamon so much as the defe-
renee which is paid by Englishmen TO
their ladies, and the position which the
latter are permitted 10 hold in society. TIE
very servants express their disgust at see
ing our ladies permitted to sit at table
with their lords, and wonder how men
can so far forget their dignity. A young
English meichantracently took his youth
full bride with him TO Hong Kong, where
The couple were visited by a wealthy man
DARN. The latter regarded the lady atten-
lively, and seemed TO dwell with delighton
her movements. When she at length left
the apartment, he said to the husband, in
his imperfect English:
What you give for that wiley wife
yours!
"Oh," replied the husband, laughing
at the singular error Of lhe-visiter, I" two
Thousand dollars"
This he thought would appear to the
Chinese rather high figure. but he was
mistaken. fF
SWELL" said the mandarin, taking ont
his book with an cir Of business, 'spose
you give her to me, ! give you five thou
sand dollars"
II is difficult to say whether the young
merchant was more amazed or amused,
but the grave air of the Chinaman con-
WINGED him that he was in earnest, and he
was compelled to refuse the offer with as
much placidity as he could assume. The
mandarin was pressing, however, and
went as high as $1,000. The merchant
was at length compelled to declare that
Englishmen never sold their wives after
they once come in their possession. an as
sertion which the Chinaman was slow to
believe. He afterwards had a hearty
laugh with his wife, atdiscovering her full
value.

no remedy for these and similar evils? l hink there
is. What say my Vermont christian brethren as such
to the formation of Vermont christian Union Asso
citation on the true anti-slavery, anti-rum, anti-war
antilicentious principles-taking these grounds
Christ the head, ~lawgiver, and ruler of his church
the holy scriptures as the only rule of faith and prac-
tice-the perfect independence of ministers and chur-
~ches-perfect liberty of conscience and a change OF
heart and a holy life the necessary and only terms OF
church fellowship.
l ask, Messrs Editors, whether the moral state OF
our churches, their connexion with slavery, and the
feelings, wishes and wants ofa hots OF our CHRISTIAN
brethren and sisters, do not GILL for such an assocla-
ton? If we have not religion enough to unite in true
christian fellowship and moral effort against the pow
ers of darkness, to take genuine anti-sin ground, and
to lay aside our %sectarian feelings, and come up in
one solid mass to the help of the Lord against the
mighty. It is high time we 60 on our knees and to
our Bibles and there wait till we get enough.
In urging this formation and the principles on
which it should rest, [ take as my modelthe more than
three thousand pedo and ~anti-pedo Baptist churches in
the Father Land. What churches have done more for
the enslaved, and to evangelize the heather world
and these churches are perfectly independent-take
the Word of God as the only rule of faith and practice,
and a change of heart, and a holy life, are the test of
fellowship in the great mss of them.
I throw out these hints. | long to see this Union
formed, and as a feeler, | would say to all my voting,
a%nti-sin, Christian brethren, let us know your feelings
through the editors, letters post paid, and through the
paper, and see what can be done.

TWENTY-SECOND WEEK OF THE SESSION
The temporary disposal of the Oregon question has
been followed by a period of lassitude and inaction
which bids fair to last through the reminder Of the
session. The long pending subject of the Smlthsoni-
an legacy has been considered IN the House, and a
bill passed at last, which seems to suit all parties.-
Without going into a history of the debate which pre-
ceeded the passage of the bill, there has been SO
much said on the subject in years past, that a synopsis
of its principal provisions may be useful to the reader
=" Smithsonian hStithion."-W have received from
our correspondent at Washington, a copy of the bill
establishing this Institution, as it passed the House OF
Representatives.
The bill provides that the money paid into the Tres
ury under the bequest, being $5l5,l69, be lent to the
u. S. Treasury, at 6 per cent. interest from the list OF
September, 1888, and that the interest which shall
have accrued on the list of July next, amounting to
$252,l29, or so much as may be necessary, shall be
appropriated for the erection of suitable buildings and
current expenses of the institution, to be expended
under the direction Of the board of managers and the
interest which shall thereafter accrue, payable half
yearly on the first of January and July, is appropriated
to the perpetual maintenance Of the institution; and
all the expenditures are to be made exclusively from
the accruing interest, without trenChlng upon the prln-
cipal.
The board of managers are to be composed of the
Vice President of the u. States, Chief Justice Mayor
of Washington, three Senators, three Representatives,
two citizens, members of the National Institute, resi-
dent in Washington, and four citizens inhabitants of
states, no two from the same state. The Senators and
Representatives are to be appointed by the presiding
officers of their respective bodies, and the six citizens
by Joint resolutions of Congress.
The members are very generally absent, and it will
be some time before anything is done on the Sub
Treasury or Tarff if ever.
In the Senate, a discussion of some interest rose out
of a bill to appropriate to the construction of a railroad
in Michigan, some of the public lands laying along
the route. 1t was favored by Mr.. Calhoun, in spite Of
previous doctrines on the subject, and elected a warm
debate.
