PRACTICAL Bishop Twall
preached sermon lately at s.. Johns, Ham
mersmith. in which he said he must humbly
but firmly declare his conviction that If tn.
masses at home are ever TO be won back to the
Church 1t must be by communities of both
men and women living by rule (for that was
the meaning of canon. very different to the
degenerate custom of modern chapters), and
working IN their midst. Since he had been
absent further secularisation OF our ancient
universities had taken place. and the real
idea OF the collegiate system was almost lost.
He trusted the subject would not he over
looked at the approaching Pan Anglican Sy-
nod. While they should be steadfast to the
Church Of England, aud never forsake her so
long as she held to the truth. they must bear in
mind that they expressed their belief in the
Cr ed. not in the Church of England, but in
he Church Catholic; and that they must ever,
act On the principle which had inspired saints
confessors, and martyrs, and not be ashamed
of holding at all cost those distinctive dog
matte truths, the heritage of every branch Of
the Catholic Church, which IT was the fashion
in the present day to ridicule.

The Reported Acquisition of the Eay Of
Samana by the United States.

The purchase by the United States Of the
Bay OF Saman in the colored Republic of ST.
Domingo, for the sum OF II 100000 no W alleged
TO have been finally arranged, is in harmony
with steps taken by some active New York ad-
venturers fifteen years ago. At that date 1t
was proposed to place $500 or 5000 American
settlers In the country, the population OF which
Is estimated al only about 100000, and the OBJ
vlous intent was TO acquire this Bay WITH its
valuable coal mlnes which owing to the de-
velopment 10 be given to steam navigation in
the Pacific by the then newly discovered
treasuTPrs Of California was regarded as one
OF the most valuable properties that conld be
opened up. At that period, in order perhaps.
to stimulate the national feeling on the quest
ION, 1t was represented that France had de.
signs upon the Republic, and about the same
time also futile attempt was made 20 raise in
London dominican loan Of f750,OGO. Sub.
seQuenuy the temporary reoccupatlon Of San
Domingo by Spain. and the exigencies OF the
civil war in America, seems to have diverted
attention from the subject It's resumption at
the present moment may IN its commercial
bearn gs be regarded with satisfaction. The
Bay Of Samana is among the finest harbors in
the world, and the supply of coal for steam
purposes has been alleged to be virtually in.
exhaustible, and to be so situated tha. vessels
may even load alongside OF the mines. If thu
general account Of its capabilities be correct
the station will. of course, prove OF incaicula-
bic importance to the United States in naval
sense, but even If the assumption were to be
entertained that considerations of that KIND
rather than Of commercial utility have opera
ted as incentives to the acquisition we NAV
safely rely that the commercial principle will
triumph in the end, and that out OF the facili-
ties to be gained by an ample supply Of coal
tor the steam traffic with Australia. California,
China and Japan, advantages will be realized
for the world, by the side OF which any esults
of narrow ant8gonism will sink into insignifi-
cance.-London Times, city Articte), Sept. 10.

RA monopoly of land in a few hands is

seven'y-oIe million acres, and only thirty
thousand landlords. The Duke of Cleveland

men say TO thirty millions, .:Here you shall
build, and there you shall not; here you shall
live and die, and nowhere else, because 1t is

Reynolds weight is 81 lbs. and Quiliins 100
lbs. The race is one mile for purse OF 81 900.
They divide the admission fee between them
selves. Reynolds is quite confident of making
1t in 2U minutes, and large wagers are being
made on that time. No doubt large sums OF
money will change hands on this curious
trial Of skill and physical endurance. In fact
