FROM CH1NA-FL1GHr OF THE EMPEROR.

letter from DR.. Parker, Secretary to the United
States legation at Canton, of which the follow.
ing is n copy
!" | have what am assured is contained in Il
private letter from Pekng, that Heen Fung, the
p esent Emperor on the I'd of August, fled 10
Gchul, in Tartary, and that Prince Wei Chin,
fifth brother of Taou Kwang, was left in charge
of the Empire, and that the nsurgent troops
were within six DAYS of Peking at that date.
This news bears marks of probability and
the source of my information is us reliable us any
We can ordinarily get in China.
In speaking with the British consul this eve
ming, he informed me that he heard the same
news two or three days since, which corresponds
with the time my informant states the intelligence
reached this city
Mr.. Robertson seemed to receive the intel
ligence with some doubt. can only say that
think it very likely to prove true and that Prince
Wei Chin is the man of all others who would
be most likely to be called upon to take the
reins Of government.

Taou kwang's answer to the Presidents letter,
delivered in 1914 by Mr.. Gushing.

SCHOOL GIRLS SHOULD BE SCHOOL. GIRLS.

-. The following well written article we copy
ffom the Southern Ladies' Companion, at the
particular request Of one of our lady acqnain-
tances. We commend lis excellent observations
to the attention of mothers.
"As girls are usually at srhco' from IN early
period till within short time OF their marriage,
it is important that they acquire habits of indus
try, neatncss and economy during the time they
are at school, and especially in the instances
where they are from home at 4 boarding school.
How are these important lessons usually taught
i'll our female colleges Are girls taught to
make, or even to mend, and carefully look after
their own clothing! Are they taught habits of
neatneSs Or rather, is not the whole matter
of keeping their apparel, their rooms, and other
matters, in neat order, left entirely to servants
or other persons! As to economy, girls have L
poor opportunity at many OF our schools, to
learn that the word has any practical use. The
daughters OF wealthy parents are ndnlged 10y
their parents and teachers in expensive apparel,
iewclry and the rest. Those in more moderate
circumstances, not having the courage 10 be
placed in Il lower caste, by living within their
means, strain every nerve to keep pace with the
wealthy in career of extravaganza We have
known the heads of female schools, instead Of
restraining this tendency to extravaganza, to en-
courage it. An examination or some other pa
geant is to come off; and, for the credit of the
school, lie wishes the girls to show to the best
advantage possible before the public. The pa
rents are at distance, and the principal encour-
agcs The girls to make accounts and purchase
goods for the OCCASION, on credit. Suggestions
of this kind are readily followed by girls na,u-
rally dcsirous to make fair show, and the
fathers or guardians arc run in debt without their
knowledge and consent; and we have known
cases in which these extra expenses have exceed
cd the whole cost of boarding, tuition, and all
other regular expenses. Such 4 course my
gain the principal favor with ihoug!llcss girls !
but the father, who on coming for his daughter,
with money enough to pay the regular school
charges, finds AZ much more charged against him |
for what he was neither willing nor able to in
dulge his daughter in. will feel Ilat he has been
imposed upon. not 10 say defraudcd. One cx-
ccllent means of countcracling this evil is, by
the establishing uniform dress for the students,
of a plain cheap, substantial character, rejecting /
all jcwelry and ornaments, and allowing them TO !
appear abroad in no other and we arc graiiGed |
to notice that this course has been adopted in
some of our female schools. aud with fine effect
1t tends 10 promote both the economy aud re-
publican equality, so esscntia! TO the success uf
such schools. And nothing can be more pre-.
judicial to the prosperity of school than the
of cases, "- ny kind of arstocracy in
them-engcndering envy. jealousy. di~c~-a NJ

METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH PROPERTY.

The New York Journal of Commerce of Fri-
day contains an official announcement ofthe am-
icabe settlement of the dispute which has so
long existed between the two branches OF the
Methodist Episcopal Church, North aud South,
in regard TO the property which belonged to them
| in common, prior TO the separation. The terms
of the adjustment are withheld from the public,
until the Courts which have long had the sub.
ject in charge) shall confirm their action to the
new state of things; or in other words, issue q,
decree in conformity with the voluntary settle
ment. The Journal says:
cit is however safe to infer, that the adjust
mcnt is based on the principle of pro rata.di-
vision of the property. No other adjustment
would bc admissible, even if the courts dccrecd
some other, provided the two bodies are to con-
tinue separate. The Northern branch of the
church never could feel easy in possession ofthe
whole property, because they know that tho
whole does not in equity belong to them.
"The effect of the compromise will be to al-
lay the bad feeling which. for some years past.
has existed between the. Churches North and
South. We should not he greatly surprised TO
record in the course of few years, the rc-nnion
Of the two bodies in one vast christian fraternity.
The friendly expressions contained in the certifi-
Gates for adjustment clearly point in that direc-
ton. 1t may even be possible that the adjust
mcnt is based on u prospective reunion, which
indeed is the most natural, rs we'll as the most
equitable course.
Mcssrs Peck and Smith, the committee ap-
pointed to prepare statement OF the settlement
for publication, say, after y careful and most
friendly examination of the whole question, tho
Southern Commissioners made Il proposition :
fora settlement of their claim, which the commits
sioners for the New York concern accepted.
Nothing now remains 10 be done to consummate
this desirable adjustment of a most troublesome
litigation but the execution of the necessary
papers, and the arrangements for the final decree
of the United States Court for the Southern
District of New York, now in session in this
city.
"This settlement has been agreed upon by the :
parties without the arbitrament of third party,
and is to each entirely satisfactory. The conrld.
sion Of this sentiment was followed by thanks
giving to God, and most hearty expressions of
Christian love and mutual confidence. The feel
ngs which prevail among the commissioners Of ;
the two churches, We may hope, is-a true type of
that which will prevail hereafter throughout tho
bounds of our common Mehodsm, North and
South.
They concluded by awarding credit to Judge
,!:Er'Jn fs-his AGENCY in the completion ofthe
