BISHOP KIp.-The London Illustra

BISHOP KIP.-The London Illustra-
ted News contains portrait and biog-
raphy of the Ri. Rev. W. 1. Kip, Pro
testant Episcopal Bishop of California.
He is the author of numerous works of
religious character, fine scholar and
able preacher, but finds better title to
the notice of an English journal in the
fact that he is very nearly connected to
some noble families of long standing.
4" His own ancestors were line of no
bles on the continent of Europe for
about three hundred years before any
member Of the family emigrated to
America. The family coat of arms,
which is yet preserved, shows that the
devoted Bishop of California is the de-
scendant of race of mobiles whose titles
and prestige are all but obliterated by
the leveling hand of American repub-
licanism."

A NOVEL ExPEDITIoN.-An expe-
dition of an unusual character, and
highly interesting in commercial point
of view. is about to leave our shores.
A number of respectable persons of va.
rious industrial pursuits, accompanied
by their families, design to sail shortly
for an island in Central Oceanica, one of
the Papuan groupe, with the avowed
object of establishing colonial settle-
ment for the cultivation of sugar-cane,
cotton, coffee, and other tropical pro-
ducts, with the abundant and cheap FREQ
labor to be obtained from portions ofthe
Malay Archipelago; also to establish a
free port for the exchange of products
with the people of the surrounding is
lands, which shall become an entrepot
of trade with China and Australia, and
available as coaling station and for the
supply and reftting of whaling ships in
the Pacific waters.-Jourpal Of Com.

solid phalanx of mortals, moving on
ward to the tomb. Yet, how are our
minds absorbed by worldly pleasures;
how are we lured on by ambition and
avarice to the forgetfulness of higher

earthly treasures as if the Divine words

up for yourselves treasures in Heaven"
Like the tired child who puts his nursd

D0rThe Christian Advocate takes
to task Rev. Mr.. Pond, of Downieville,
because he preached practical semon
abiding to the worldly advantages and
prospects of that place, which discourse
was briefly reported in the Sierra CIT
izem under the quaint title of GA Local
Items Sermon" The Advocate thinks
that Mr.. Pond, who is reputed a good
Christian and good preacher, should
put little more gospel in his sermons,
and tells him an annecdote to that effect.
If the editor of the Advocate could only
see what small audiences gospel SER
nous usually attract in the mountains,
he would commend the Downieville
parson for sandwiching the gospel be-
tween subjects more likely to win him
hearers.

1@In Prussia every child is required
to 90 to school between the seventh and
fourteenth year, and learn, at least, to
read and write and in 1845 only two per-
sons in every one hundred of the young
between twenty and twenty-five years
of age were unable to read, write and CT
pher. In the standing army Of 126, 900
men, only two soldiers were found who
were unable to read. Of 1900, 900 chill
dren, aged from seven to fourteen, 1872
5000 were attending school. It is COM
mon for us to boast Of American INTEL
igence, and Of the American system Of
free schools, but the facts copied above
show that we are not pre-eminentin these
respects. The paper from which we
copy says, that in the United States,
where $4,000, 900 acres Of land have
been set apart for school purposes, the
whole number Of persons, over 20 years
of age who were unable to read in 1910,
was ESQ, 900; which had increased in
1850 to 1850, 900.

THE CoMEr.-The only persons who
treated with becoming respect the "long-

him grand reception, which We duly

him by exhibiting fear. His appear

October. It was quite numerously at
tended by persons Of every shade Of
disbelief, and is worth noting as sign
Of the times. Some may see in it an
omen Of evil, others will rejoice that
this is a land where even Atheism can
safely utter its opinions but all should
reflect that no earthly power can over
turn the right, and that the truth of
religion can never be shaken by Infdel
conventions. One of the delegates, Mr..
Joseph Barker, said he had no religion
in himself-not particle. There was
a time when he was full Of religion, but
now he believed in no God, no Devil, no
Heaven, no He'll, no soul or spirit, no
resurrection, no immortality or eternal
life, and he rejoiced that he was free
from all of them.
Such ultraism as this, which may
shock some readers, will disturb no
ones reliance upon Supreme Goodness,
will destroy the faith of not single
person in the existence and omnipres-
ence of an Infinite Benefactor.
