A VILLAGE UNDER GRoUND.-A correspondent
at Cracow, says the Pail Mall Gazette of Decem-
Der 7th, writing on the lst, says:
The famous salt mines of Wiehezka, ten miles
from Cracow, which brings net revenue to the
Austrian government of upward of 100000
forms (f6OO, ,OS0) is threatened with total de-
structiOn by stream of water which made its
appearance last month while the workmen were
digging in one of the lower shafts in search OF
potash The mine contains subterranean VII
lage of about 900 inhabitants, who are IN I'M
minent danger of losing their only source OF
living. All the means hitherto adopted OF pre-
venting the water from inundating the mine have
been unsuccessful; it flows at the rate OF lzo
cubic feet minute, and has already almost
filled the lower passages, rapidly dlssoiving the
salt with which it comes in contact. govern
ment engineer has arrived from Vienna, and
channel is being built under his directions for
con6n;no the water and leading it out of the
nine hut it is feared that the salt columns
wbicb support the transverse shafts will be un-
darn;ned before the work can be completed.
These messages are SO numerous that it is said
their total length is equal to the distance from
Cracow to Vienna and back, and contain exten-
siretstables and provision magazines, decorated
With statues of salt, which are illuminated on
festive occasions. The mine is said to have been
discovered by shepherd named Wieliez in 1880

The CHINEsE.-Mr. Caleb Cushing, who is,
perhaps, the best authority in this country on
chinese affairs, tells that China contains
single provinces, each of which-in population
wealth, civilization, education, and all else that
gives power to a state-is superior, to England
france, Prussia, or any other of the first powers
of Europe-that the empire has 500, 900 900 in
habitants = more than all Europe combined ;
that this inconceivably vast population is gov
land, upon system which was old thousands
of years before the oldest governments of Europe
began to exist; that having thrown off the feudal
system about the time it was fastened upon Eu-
rope, they are governed, not by privileged and
hereditary class, as in England, nor by the lead
ers of the successful political party, as is this
republic-but by system based exclusively on
literary merit, in which, after series of exhaus
tive literature competitive examinations, the
most learned are appointed to govern those
below themselves, who in their turn govern
the class next below, and SO on to the least
learned of all; that education is universal, even
more general than with u.s. there being no class
OF people that cannot read and write; that the
great body of the Chinese are intelligent, indus
trlous, apt to learn anything and everything,
frugal, pre-eminently patriotic, and more pro-
foundly attached, perhaps, than the people of
any other nation in the world, to their own laws
and institutions that China great nation
ages before what we call the ancient nations of
Greece and Rome had been founded, and has re-
maned great nation, while its earliest contem-
poraries, Egypt and Assyria, are only known i'm
perfectly in the most ancient of the earliest rec
ords of our race and that at this day, the most
enterprising merchants and the wealthiest men
in the world are to be fonnd, not in New York,
or in London, or in any European city, but in
the seaports and great cities of China.

THE NEW SENATOR FROM PENNsYLvANIA.-Jotn
Scott, the Republican Senator elect from Penn
sylvana, is distinguished member of the bar
of Huntingdon county, where he is said to have
the largest practice of any lawyer in his judicial
district. He is good speaker, has served in the
State Legislature, and has been an active politi-
cal canvasser. He is about fifty years of age.
Before the rebellion be was Democrat, but has
since acted with the Republicans in defense of
the Uuion and liberal principles. He is said by
those who know him to be conscientious man,
who has been all his life independent of factions ;
and his election seems to be another defeat of
the ring and bargain principle in party politics.

Looking out into the night

And marvel at the might
VI the Giver of the rays,
And l worship as l gaze,
Looking out into the night.
Looking out into the night,
espy two lovers near,
And their happy words hear,
While their solemn troth they plight,
And 1 bless the loving twain.
Half in pleasure, half in pain,T
Looking out into the night
Looking out into the night,
Lola woman passing by. II
a Glancing round with anxions eye,
hearful-fearful Of the light;
And think what might have been
But for treachery and sin,-
Looking out into the night.
Looking out into the night,
| behold distant sail
Roughly beaten by the gale,
Till it vahishes from sight;
And l ponder ON the strife
OF our feeting human life
Looking out into the night
Looking out into the night,
l bsthink me of the rest
And the rapture of the blest
In the land where all is light;
Sitting on the heavenly shore,
Weeping never-never more
Looking out into the night"

A SAD SroRY.-The Grass Valley Union re-
lates sad story of real life, which it pronounces
stranger than fiction. Names are suppressed,
but the condensed facts are as follows:
Eight years ago an apparently happy married
couple resided in a State or Territory east of
California, who had bright little son, upon
whom they lavshed their affections. On GER
tain occasion the husband and father left home
for few days, and, on returning, found it de-
serted by wife and child. His efforts for a long
time to find their whereabouts were fruitless
A few months ago he went back to bis former
home in the East, where he had been married.
There he ascertaned that his wife was living
with another man in California, under an as
sumed name. He came back to this State and
many months were spent in the endeavor to
trace out their place of abode. Certain informa-
ton directed his pursuit to Grass Valley, where
he discovered that his little son, who had been
well cared for, was attending school under
other than the paternal name. The father Wis
tied the school, had conversation with the boy,
and announced his determination to assume over
him fathers rights and protection. He also
called upon the mother, and, as the Union sur
misses, discussed the matter with her. The par
amour with whom she had eloped was over at
White Pine and it is thought the interview
had, like that between " Hamlet" and his
mother caused her to look into her heart-as
the bereaved father was heard to say, after leav-
ing her-that she would never live with the de-
stroyer of his happiness again. The real father
now has full possession of his son.

Professionalism Important questions
of progress will come before both
these bodies, and it is to be hoped
that the action of both will tend to
the wiser and better.
| Christian missions are planted at
all the open ports in China; also at
Pekin, and in many of the interior
cities. Up to the present time some
thirty-three societies have been
represented in China, while there
are now in the field some three
hundred and fifty male and female
laborers. The number of actual
church members may be about FIVE
thousand. OF course this statement
does not embrace the Roman Cath
olic missions, which present a much
larger result.
From Schem's Ecclesiastical AL
manac for 1869, we gather the fol-
lowing statistics of the religious
condition of the world: Total pop
ulation 1875, 100000; increase on
last years reckoning, 24,90O:O00.
Roman Catholics, 1876, 434 900; in
crease on last year, 434, 900 Pro
testants, 1O0,S35, 900; increase on
last year, 1885, 900. Eastern
churches, Sl,47S,O0O. Total nom
inal Christians, 377,74f,00O; in
crease on last year, 8,347 900, or
about I per cent. Total heather
population, 997 ,253,OOO; increase
over last year, 16,453, 600, or less
than Il per cent. Increase of
Protestants nearly four per cent;
of Romanists less than I of one
per cent.
Peter Cartwright, who is serving
his fiftieth year as a presiding |
Elder in the Methodist Episcopal
Church, writes to the Central
Christian Advocate from Pleasant
Plains, Illinois: 81 think it quite
probable that the good Lord will
give me my discharge from labor
as my jubilee before our Confer
enee at Lincoln, and, if so, it is my |

cling preacher sixty, one years the
18th of next August. We have
lived together sixty-one years. She
has borne up under all the hard
ships, privations and poverty of a
travelling preacher for nearly sixty
one years. Let the old pioneers of
,he early days of Methodism say
what sufferings the wife of travel
ng preacher must have gone
through in that time, for although
[ have been regular travelling
preacher sixty-five years next fall,
never received my disciplinary
allowance for support from the
,hurch but three years of that long
travelling life; and yet, thank God,
would rather have the comforts l |
