How Royalty KILLS TIME.-The Paris cor.
respondent ot the Philadelphia Gazette says:
The court passes the day In easy dalliaDce a.
midst the green shades of Fontaiuebleu. Fol-
lowing the example of Maria AntoiDette and her
ladies at Trianon. the Empress Eugenie delights
to disguise herself in quaint costumes Ut hunt
ress or shepardess and wander through the
shady gardens OF the palace with the implements
OF the chase, or Of the flock in her lhinds.
have not yet heard that an imperial dairy las
been established, or that COWS are milked, or
churned by these dilettanti cuwsps. When the
day has been whiled away in these eccentric
idlenesses, all sorts of amusemerrs are resorted
Ia in order to make the evening pass without
ennui.
Sometimes troop Of players from Paris de-
light the assemblage; sometimes the company a.
muse themselves aud each other 10y private the
atricaIs or cllarades. Often blind mans buff, or
,t. more romping and vivacious games are re-
s.rted to, and played with freedom and license
Tor which the Court of France has long been re-
markubIe. The scene is represented as afford
irg n strange aspect of mingled business and
pleasure aud buffoonery. The little town itself
around the chateau is GRAINED with court follow
ers aud official peOple-ninisters, play actors,
ambassadors. couriers, secretaries, general uf1-
GERS, ladies' maids, all jnmbled together in
strange confusion and during the same tweI t.-
tour hours the QUESTION OF the Danubian Princ.
palities or of Montenegro are debated in one
room, while those Of the next masquerade or
pleasure party are discussed with almost e.
DUAL solempity and interest in another. In
week, probably, this meeting will be broken

AN INTERESTING DIsCovERY.-We see it sta.
ted. upon what may be considered reliable au.
thority, that thirty thousand Christians have
been found upon an island north of Ceebas 1t
was rumored for time there was there Chris
tian people forgotten and t,rsaken, which, how
ever. vet possessed three Bibles, and continued
steadfast in the faith. When missionaries first
landed on the island, they met with school
teacher and his pupils, who repeated in the Ma
layan tongue-"As the hart pantelh alter the
waterbronks, SO panteth my soul after Thee, y
Lord" No Bibles were found, but the most
precious promises of the Bible written upon the
bark of trees. They knew the Apostles Greed,
and the Heidelberg Catechism, and had Chris
tan customs. Twenty churches and schools YET
existed. Through the instrnmentality of pastor
ueldrng, founder of the Magdalen Asy lum al
Sreenbeck, and chief pastor of Inner Missions in
Holland, tour missionaries, who had been edu'
Gated under the venerable Gossner, were sent
ont, and three persons baptized.
This is certainly most interesting discovery.
The Island ON which these Christians were found
belongs to the East India Archipelago. The
Dutch have tor years had political rule in tbi-
region. This may account Tor the original in
PRODUCTION of Christianity AMONGST this people,
and Tor the fact that the Heidelberg Caechisn
wa. still found in their possession. But sill tho
particular time and circumstances in which thi>
Introduction took place may well challenge spe
cal attention, and elicit investigation from those
who hav the leisure and facilities for prosecu-
ting it.-German Reform Messenger.

INTERESTING STATIsTIos.-AmOng other inter-
esting facts OF De BOWS statistical view of the
United States. we may mention that the foreign
vote OF the country is one twelfth ot the whole;
that the State of New York has about one eighth
of tile population OF the Union; that there Is ore
house to every six persons in the country that
the number OF persons who live east cf the Mis-
sis.ippi is twelve times greater than those who
live west thereof; the distance between New
York and New Orleans is more than that be.
tween London and Constanfinople, or Paris and
St. Petersbnrgh; over two ifths of the nationa,
territory is drained by tile Mississippi and its
tributaries; of the 1897 political Newspapers
published in the United States in 1850, 855 were
Whig and 742 were Democratic. There are four
hundred thousand Indians in our territory; at
the close of the Revolution, there were but tlir-
tysx thousand in the old thirteen states, accord
