CHARACTERIZATION OF THE WORLD AT
the annual concert of prayer for foreign
missions, held in Park-street church on
Sunday evening last, the prominent talk
was the possibility of evangelizing the
whole world in the course of the present
century. A contrast was instituted be-
tween the state of things at the commence
ment of this century and what now exists
in relation to Christianity; and the conclu-
sion was reached that, with the present IA
cilities for doing the great work of evangel-
ling the world, four-fold increase OF men
and means would be sufficient to secure the
triumph of Christianity over the entire
world. That is, it was considered possible
to bring every Pagan and anti Christian
nation in the world under the pervading in
tluence of Christianity in thirty years, pro-
vided the increase of men and means
vas four-fold what are now employed, and
the rate OF Improvement which has marked
the first two-thirds of the century should
continue during the last third of the CEN
tury.-.BoSton Traveller.

WOODEN CAR WHEELS. - The Hudson
River Railroad Company has recently placed
twelve of the Mansell wooden car wheels on
their drawing-room car. These wheels cost
treble the price of the ordinary cast-iron
wheels, but this is regarded as of little con-
sequence compared with the advantages
gained by their use. They ride smoothly,
making conversation, reading, and even
writing, not only possible, but an easy task
on the cars. They are made Of thoroughly
seasoned elm or teak, with steel tires are
very durable, only one accident having
ever occurred to one Of them, and that
through the carelessness of workman !;
and will wear, by reason of their elasticity
and durability, over four hundred thousand
miles of railway, while the average use of
the ordinary iron wheel is but fifty thou
sand miles after which it is necessary to
break it mp. ...
1t is also asserted that this wheel is 30
constructed that it is impossible for the tire
to become displaced, and that the wear to
the track is much less than by the cast
wheel which of itself would make an i'm
portant saving.
The Mansell wheel is used on the Metro
politan Underground railway in London !;
and there, where the stoppages and start
ing of the trains are very sudden, and conse-
quently extremely trying, no accident has
yet occurred with them.
If this wheel proves to have all the me-
rits claimed for it, it will, We hear, be gene
rally adopted on the Hudson River road.
The increased first cost of these wheels
over the iron wheels should not prevent
railroad corporations from adopting them
if it is proved by trial that with them hu-
man life is made more safe. Their greater
durability, and the saving of wear and
tear of track will, it is believed, render
these wheels in the end much the cheapest.

RITUALISTIC TROUBLES IN ENGLAND
On Christmas eve midnight celebration
was held at St. James's, Brighton, Eng
land. The church was partly filled by q
respectable auditory; the building itself
profusely decorated with laurels, holly, and
flowers, many large crosses being formed
by the same. The altar was decorated
with flowers, and on q side table was the
usual light burning, but on this occasion
surmouuted by carved figure of the In
FAINT Saviour. The usual display of en-
broidered dresses, etc., was exhibited
by the officiating priests and chorlst-
ers. The proceedings commenced with
the imposing procession, during which
and throughout the entire service IN
cense was freely scattered about. In
fact, Notwithstanding the recent de-
cision of the privy council, lights, incense,
bowings, &C., were upon the usual exces-
sive scale. Many slightly suppressed
sounds of discomfort were heard through
out the service, both within and without
the building; but at the commencement OF
the otfertory sentences a man at last cried
out, "It is perfect bosh; | say perfect
rubbish" Immediately some Of the verg-
ers, with their oaken slaves, rushed to the
pew in which he was sitting, the priests
looked aghast, and the choristers and
the congregation seemed Reconstruction
as the gentleman proceeded to say, when
efforts were made to expel him, 81 expected
this; l am not afraid to repeat my words !;
it is all perfect rubbish; leave ne alone; l
will 90 away without help" The vcrgers
again attempted to take hold Of him, when
he again said, {" 1t is perfect rubbish l
came here to worship God according to the
tenets of the Church of England, not of the
Church of Rome This is al, mocIery ard
rubbish, Mr.. Purchas." The lest words. he
uttered while crossing the church end near
ing the altar. On reaching the first inner)
doors of the building two or three c!er-carn-
est vergers rather pushed him into theouter
lobby, and thence into the street. Theneryloe
was then resumed, though the voice Of the
officiator was very tremulous, and s1delong
chances were taken by those in the choir al
every murmuring sound from without.
Many persons Immediately left the. build
ing-some ten or dozen only remaining TO
partake of the Holy Communion, IN the
celebration of which excessive boWings,
lightnings, and incensings were most freely
INDUCED in. The congregation separated
about o'clock but owing to q detachment
Of police that were stationed without, the
crowd offered no personal violence to them
as they dispersed. +

PORTABLE GAsLIGHTs.-This wonderful
invention has given more satisfaction to
purchasers than any other light that has
ever been sold in our city. They are now
used everywhere, and even have advantages
over coal gas. 1t requires no machinery,
gasometers, or pipes, and if desired, all the
lights of house can be concentrated into
one room and they are perfectly safe flor
they cannot be exploded), and the cost is
only about one-half that of coal gas. For
the last two months and q half they have
been put to the severest tests in sugar
houses, and the planters who are using
them say that cit is by far the finest light
that they have ever had, and must come
into general use. "-Neoo Orleans Bulletin

After An Intellectual attempt to induce the
people topermit the notices to be served, the
hailiff and under-agens vent forward to
atiix them to the doors Of the tenants'
houses, under protection Of number Of
the. police, and were instantly assailed by
mob of several hundred persons, the men
throwing stones and the women stubs Of
filth and lime in liquid state" There
were cries that they would make it another
scully affair. scully, it will be recollected,

that their landlord wished to change the
arrangement about the letting, and to charge
them thirty shillings an acre for @ bog they
reclaimed, and had before held rent free.

TEA AND SAwDUsT-ADRo1T SwINDLE.-
Some months ago two voting men opened
q store in one of the principal business
thoroughfares of this city, with large
stock of goods, and a grand display gene
rally. The business was that of tea, and
down the spacious store there ranged long
rows of tea chests, and windows were re-
plete with samples Of fine Oolong, Souchong,
Young and Old Hyson, Japan, &c. The
firm seemed prosperous. They made their
purchases of the prominent wholesale houses
in this city, who gave them credit, and the
amount of goods purchased was large.
They had trade in the country, and
boxes Of tea were seen leaving the store
every day by express and freight for the
rural Dealers. Still the long line of tea
chests smiled complacently upon the locker
in upon the scene of seeming thrift and
commendable industry. The debts of the
firm were daily growing larger and larger,
and still the wholesale houses, having the
strongest faith in their integrity and ability
to pay, trusted them more and more. But
there must sooner or later come day of
reckoning to all.
A day or two since bill of one of the
Wholesale houses fell due, and it was pre-
scented at the desk Of the tea firm, when the
collector was coolly informed that the firm
to whom the bill was made out had no legal
existence, having sold out to the present
proprietors some two weeks since. Here
was an eye-opener indeed, and the clerk
fastened back to inform his employers that
the great tea house of - & -, with
their rows of chests and caddies, their
flaming door post and lintels, their mon
strous Us and scarlet trimmings generally,
were non eSt-were gone up-in fact
, +" busted"
Back fastened the business man of the
wholesale firm, to find that his double OF
! another house was on the spot astounded to
learn that things were as they were. A
consultation was held, and they being again
assured by the gentlemanly and urbane u
proprietor of the establishment that the
previous firm had sold out to him and left
for where he knew not, it was determined
to seize the goods in the store. And here
comes the best part of the story.
The boxes Of tea-those long rows, with
| their startling appearance Of immense bust
ness,-when opened were found to contain
not fine Japan and Young Hyson, not the
leaf from which is distilled intoxicating
Gunpowder and English Breakfast, nor the
amber. colored juices of Imperial or Oolong-
none of these-but the most common Of
common sawdust. The present owner Of
the sawdust, tea chests, and the good will
of the former firm, says he came into power
upon notes held by him and the payments
of large sums Of money.-STdcaSe Jour-
