A SUNDAY IN MADRID.

spoke very fair English, and I asked him
where he had learned it. He said "At the
missionary school in Constantinoplc'' He
was quite po'yglot, protesting to be able
to speak seven languages fuently. 1t was
interesting to meet youth who knew our
missionaries there, and entertained a great
respect for his old teachers. and it gave US
an idea, too, Of the indirect influence Which
such schools must DO exerting, when youth
are trained in them, and afterwards embark
in other callings than those that are religious
in their purpose. ILit.. -. a-3-Hf
He led US to the Prussian Ambassador s,
where tho chaplain breaches in the French
language. No Protestant preaching is al.
lowed in Madrid-nonc, indeed, in Spain,
except under the flag of another Govern
ment. The Ambassador,or the Consul, has
the right of course, to regulate his own
household as he pleases; and under this
necessary privilege, he has, if he is so dis
posed, chaplain, and divine service on
Sunday, when his doors are opened to all
who choose to attend The practical work
ing Of it is that regular congregation
comes to be establised under each flag, if
there so many persons Of that country and
of a religious tendencyas to make it impor-
tant. In most Of the great capital Of Eu-
rope, there are people Of other countries
resident for business, health, Or pleasure,
aad they find place of worship in their
own tongue. In Spain and Rome only
write it in large letters and tell all the world,
to the infinite shame Of the religion falsely
called Catholic-no religious worship is al.
lowed, except that which the Ambassador,
under tho flag Of his country, can maintain
in his own house and at the point Of his
country's sword. ...-
The Germans resident in Madrid speak
the French language, as well as their own,
and the present chaplain preachesin French.
He is an earnest, excellent man, and his
pulpit abilities would make him greatly
useful in wider sphere than this. In an
upper chamber, that would scat fifty per-
sons, little congregation, not more than
twelve or fifteen, had come together to hear
the Word. The desk, or pulpit, was habit.

drcds of German Christians come to church

year their spiritual wants do not require the

religious liberation in Spain as in the day,

A Radical Job for q Radio: Il I
EaY0rite.-Salc Of Gov
crnsncnt Bonds.

The statement recently made by
the Secretary of the Treasury, in
response to a resolution Of inquiry
.of the House Of Representatives,
asking for information as to the COM
missions paid for the. sale Of bonds
and gold on account of the United
States, furnishes some interesting
facts. It seems that the commits
sions paid to Mr.. Jay Cooke, Of
Philadelphia, for selling the original
iye-twcnty bonds Of 1862 amounted
to about $500, 00o,a while for selling
the later issues he received 800, 600
more, making 81, 900. 600 in all.
From this must. however. be deduct
ed $500, 900 for the share # his
sub-a gents, and about $3.50. 600 paid
for advertising and other expenses,
leaving him net profit Of $3.50, 900.
When the asevcn-thirty currency
bonds, which, are now being convert
ed into gold-intercst skies, were put
upon the market, Mr.. McCulloch
made an arrangement with Mr..
Cooke, whereby the latter received,
from first TO last, commissions for
selling them to the amount of 81, $50,
900. Deducting from this sum,
again, the portion which Mr.. Cooke
claims he expended for commissions
to sub-agents, advertising, and other
such purposes, he must still have
nettel not far from 81, 250, 900 sfoi
his services, which, added to the
$3.50. 600 previously paid him, brings
his compensation up to the snug sum
Of 81 500, 900. ri '7Ts a
