Progress in China.

China at last comes forward 10 rocog-
nizc religious freedom, by the procla-
nation OF the Imperial Commissioner
to the effect that, the preaching Of re-
ligion is permitted by treaty. and that
and everybody may freely
submit himself to be prosclyuzed.
Hence, under the terms Of tho trcaty,
no religious establishments within tho
Empire nrc TO be disturbed, and all
offenders against the new order Mrc 10
be punished severely without hope OF
pardon. The effect OF this latest pro-
cIarhation may not be instantaneously
felt throughout the Empire, but It will
noy The less be felt in the course Of
Tn DC. Now, any and all crccds' and
sccts arc ut liberty to 80 and set up
their standard upon Chinese soil, with
out fear OF being intcrlered with. The
Government commits itself 10 free re-
lision. This is one OF the results OF
the Durlingamc treaty, and 1t deserves
remark as proof Of the advancement
of the itlcas of modern civilization in
the East.-BoSion Post.

the time Of JolIy'S departure from

prr>cn,imcnt Of impending evil. and
he paSSiunatrly kissed his infant boy
