Carl schurz.

He is tall and not very straight
He has the fora of a Kentuckian and
the face of q Teuton. Still, standing
here, it is doubtful if any one would
suspect him of being German. He
has red-brown curly hair, abundant
and handsome broad, white brow
spectacle-covered eyes a long, ugly,
cogltative nose wide set, thought
full mouth and rather prominent
chin. You see that he is not hand
some but he is something better-at
least for mamie is unique and
marked in his person, winning and
faith-lnspiring in his presence. 1t il
not difficult to tell how he looks as
he stands here but to tell what he is
in few moager lines is impossible.
He is man of intuitions, of enthus-
iasms, of inspirations, as well as oil
eloquence and patriotism. He could
not be less TO rise in a few short
years from the German cultural OF
his mother tongue to be a master OF
English eloqucnce.-MrS. III. c. AmeS.

The Social Element in Churches.


The Methodist insists on the i'm
portance Of recognizing and provi-
ding for the social element in relig-
ious organizations. 1t thinks it helps
the spiritual. 1t contrasts churches
that are sociable with those that are
not, and finds the former far more
efficient.
Some of our churches, we are glad
to notice, are now built with church
parlors," phrase which needs not
convey the idea Of stiffness and orna-
mentation, for these parlors are meant
to be used, and, if used right. may be
made of great service to the church.
Here the ladies may meet to sew for
the poor here the church "sociable"
may be held, where young and old,
rich and poor, may meet together
and cultivate Christian friendship, -
We have known churches where
members have never become acuuain-
ted with each other, though engaging
in the same religious services every
Sunday for years. They enter by
different doors, and sit on opposite
sides Of large building, and do not
recognize each other when passing
in the streets. Any church ought to
be ashamed Of such q state of affairs
as this, and ought to welcome any
plan which produces a healthy
change. A church parlor, where all
can meet and get acquainted, would
obviate the difficulty.

A GOOD WoRK.-The American
Sunday School Union has, in the
year ending March LIST, 1870, organ
lied 1885 neD Sunday Schools, in
which were 1909 teachers and So
1913 scholars. 1t has also visited and
aided 1850 schools, with 32,497
teachers and 273,545 scholars, max
ing a grand total of Sunday Schools
reached by its missionaries of $685..
with 40,466 teachers and 328,698
scholars.
To accomplish this work 266, G37
miles were travelled, 6,847 addresses
delivered, II ,632 families visited. and
1882 Bibles and Testaments distrib-
uted.
Since the organization of this So
ciety in 1924, it has organized over
$4,000 Sunday Schools, and gathered
into them over 100000 children.
1t sends its missionaries to find the
destitute children, especially in the
neglected country districts, and on
our frontier, and gather them into
Sunday Schools. Itinduces men and
women to engage in the Christ-like
service OF instructing these children
from the Bible. 1t has been one Of
the pioneer Missionary Societies In
all this Northwestern region, the
forerunner Of the Church and the
Ministry-and still it presses on to
reach the new regions IN the West,
and the open fields in the Southland
it goes only in tho name of Christ
and for all the Churches.

War Between England and China.

1t is intimated that there is immi-
nent danger Of war between En-
gland and China. An English paper
published in Japan says:
"There is but one opinion at this
moment, in China, respecting our
relations with the Empire, and this
opinion is, that we are inevitably
drifting into war. 1t matters not
from which port the cry comes or
who utters it, HongKong agreed with
Shanghae, Hankow with Ningo and
Tarwan with Annoy. 1t is one uni
sonorous chorus, led by the most
experienced, the most discreet and
sagacious men in China. Single
voices raised the cry on the day that
news reached England of the dispatch
Of the Burlingame mission, and it
gathered strength with every fresh
utterance of the Envoy, and 10 spite
of the protestations he made, and
the credulous enthusiasm with which,
probably in all honesty, but certainly
with an utter insight, he proclaimed
the dawn of new era of progress
for China 1t has become the burden
Of every intelligent utterance which
has been heard during the last twelve
months, and it is because we share
these views and dread the conse-
quence of war, which we are GER
tain can be avoided, that we wish to
add our voice to those which reach
as from China Nor are the causes
for The apprehension difficult to dis
cover. They lie in the fact that the
Chinese are retreating month By
month, from the obligations imposed
upon them by the treaty of Tientsin.
and that as we yield to their evasions
they think us powerless to punish
them. They will assuredly go too
fas, or will outrage the national honor
by some overt act, and trusting to
their new arsenals, their gunboats
and the Northern army, they will
refuse to apologize, and then only
one course is open 10 England"

multiplication table-we have only
got as far as vulgar fractions. Stew
art had not laid up forty millions
when be learned that two and two
make four. The shrewd Scotchman
had only got the tool by which he
should become the money power of
the commercial metropolis of the re-
public. 1t is a proud hour. 1t is a
great epoch. tits the consummation
of the grandest crusade which the
world has seen since the day of Luz
Their. We are too near to measure
yet the majestic slope of this grand
eliminating success of the Saxon
race learning to do juctice to a race
that II hated and despised. But af-
ter sill, it is only the multiplication
table. 1t is only the recognition of
another truth. We lift our brows,
noblemen, into the face of the world
to-day, and repeat, with something
of pride, the sublime pledge Of our
fathers that ali men are created equal.
They said 1T in 70, and yet while
the words ti0ated on the summer air,
so many years ago, they were rivet-
ing The chains of this very race
whose emancipation we now rejoice
over. We put the same great truth
which added guarantee and more ex-
phcl, wording into the constitution
OF tie nation. L. is there. But the
only question is for this generation
and the next to apply it. With in
finite toll, as vast expense, with such
o sacrifice of blood, sealing the char
ter with five hundred thousand
graves, we have made il true of the
negro. With what cost, at what toll,
how much blood, with what self
sacrifice and devotion you will make
it true of the Indian and the Chinese
remains for the next twenty-nine
years. We summon you to that
conflict, we welcome you to that
crusade, the stamping out of Gnoth-
or line of preiudices and enlarging
the national heart, when, with.a true
Christianity and a real civilization,
it shall know fifty nothing of race
before the law, and when that is
done we shall have a right to rejoice,
not onl y that this one victim race
has taken its place among the recog-
nized elements of civil and political
life with US but we shall go further,
and enact that in her sacred law
America has her hllet, and hence
forth knows no distinction among
races that God created with one
blood, with equal rights before Him
and before the nation. Applause.

at half past 7 the curtain rung up
In the interval Mr.. Logan had mo-
only studied up the part, but dressed
and made up his face. He played
the part to the end without mis-.
takes, although at one point he was
SO disconnected at seeing a book Of
the play in the hands Of one of the
audience that he sent around to re-
quest the person to lay it aside
Such powers of committing parts
however, are very rare, and as a
rule, those who commit easily forget
quickly.
A REGULAR HARD WORKING LITE.
In illustration of the fact that the
life of players is by no means life
ofplay but, on the contrary, governed
by rules Of the most stringent charac-
ter, Miss Logan gives q specimen OF
greenroom regulations. Twenty OF
these rules are given, among which
are the following
81. Gentlemen at the time of re-
hearsal or performance are not to
wear their hats in the greenroom or
talk vociferously. The greenroom is
aplace appropriated for the quiet and
regular meeting of the company,
who are to be called thence, and
thence only, by the call boy to attend
the stage. The managers not to be
applied to in that place on any mat
ter of business or with any personal
complaint. For a breach of any
part of this article fifty cents will be
forfeited.
2. The calls for the rehearsals will
be put up by the prompter between
the play and the farce, or earlier, on
evenings of performance. No plea
will be received that the call was not
seen, in order to avoid the penalties
of non-attendance.
3. Any member of the company
unable, from the effects of stimulants.
to perform or to appear at rehearsal,
shall forfeit weeks salary and be
liable to be discharged.
4. For making the stage wait,
three dollars.
3. A performer rehearsing from q
book or part after proper time has
been allowed for study, shall forfeit
five dollars.
8. A performer Introducing his
own language or improper iests not
IN the author, or swearing in his part,
shall forfeit five dollars.
Z. Any person talking loud behind
the scenes, to the interruption of the
performance, to forfeit FIVE dollars.
g. Every performer concerned in
the first act Of a play to be in the
greenroom dressed for the perform
ance ten minutes before the time Of
beginning, as expressed in the bills.
or to forfeit five dollars. Tho per-
in the second act to Be ready when
the first finishes. In like manner
every other act.
9. For refusing on a sudden change
of play or farce, to represent o char
acter performed by the same person
before during the season, a weeks
salary shall DO forfeited.
10 Any member of the company
causing disturbance to any part Of
the establishment will be liable to the
forfeiture Of weeks salary, or to be
discharged, at the option Of the man
agement."

country for a foreigner to live in, un-
less he recognizes and keeps always
before him the fact that organic mat
ter, in decaying and giving nutriment
to plants, loses every vestige of its
former character. There is too much
OF the human element go where you
will, look where you will, it is there.
In the more densely peopled part the
traveller is surrounded by turbid
stream of life, while be treads a soil
almost human, the ashes of the UNI
numbered millions of the past the
very dust which he breathes and
swallows is that of charnel house.
The water of wells is everywhere
lmpregnated with the products of
organic decay, and the rivers are the
sewers of countless cities. On the
densely-peopled plain all the organic
and much of the mineral ingredients
Of the soil must have made many
times the circuit of plant and animal
life; in other words, every thing that
goes to make and maintain the
human body has formed part of hui
man bodies which have passed away.
Few foreigners have the courage
to enter the large southern towns in
summer, so horrible is the air. In
the neighborhood of great cities on
the delta plain, where water is found
just below the surface, one may ride
for miles always in sight of coffins
bursting in the screening sun, and
breeding the pestilence that yearly
sweeps off the surplus population
To convey an idea of the density of
the population of China proper, it is
only necessary to say. that to peo-
pie the United States and Territories
as densely as many of the provinces
Of China, would require number of
human beings equal to the present
population of the globe.
