Youu. Mems Uhri.,ian Association.


This organization celebrated its eighteenth
anniversary by appropriate services at the
Chestnut Street Nj E. Church. A fter a hymn,
prayer 10y Rev. M. III. Williams, reading of the
Scriptures by Rev. Asa Dalton, and a second
by mn, the report Of the Association waa read
by the retiring President, Mr.. John Russell.
1t was quite long, aud while it stated some of
the obstacles and diScouragements met dutiDg
the year, it Acknowledged much divine and
temporal favor, and looked forward With hope
During the year 200 new looks had been re
ceived for the library, increasing the number
to 500 volumes, and 200 volumes for MISSION
purposes The receipts have been 81, 3i2.5S;
expenditures, 81, 239 "a, leaving small balance,
and a considerable unl.quidated debt. MR.
McKenny, Chairman Of the Comwittee on
Mission Schools, reported the operations of
the Association III respect to Sunday Schools
The work OF the Association had been chiefly
outside the city. Some baif dozen of these
schools have been established within the past
four years, at Tukeys Bridge, Tnrner's Island
and Koightsville. That at Presum pscott Falls
has fund Of about $500, and an attempt will
be made to raie chapel. The school at
Tukey's Bridge is self-sustaining, aud the As.
ISOLATION has withdrawn from it. AT Turner g
Island the Association school has inspired the
establishment of another by the citizeas. The
Deering bridge school has been suspended
also that al Knghtsvi;le; the latter for want
OF suitable place. The meetings at the Jail,
and the wharf meetings, have been blessed,
and many souls have been saved.
Mr. F. A. Smith, Rev. Mr.. Williams and
Rev. Mr.. Luce spoke on the question, How
shall we reach the young men in the city,"
MIR FL. III. Burgess, of the Finance Com
mittee, presented the pecuniary needs of tue
Association. 1t is not self sustaining The e
are 200 heads OF families members of evan
geljcal churches in this city. If one quarter
of them would unite with the Association, it
would be more powerful and successful.
Rev. DR.. Cirrutbers spoke Of the relation OF
the Association to the church. He argued
that it should work in the church. The mem-
hers should come to the church meetings and
tell What is being done, and inspire the churche,
to a greater activity. He commended more
Catholicity. Work not only for young mer
but old men, young women and Old women
restrain and prevent growing wickedness in
the community, aud destroy, if possible, the
pernicious literature which is tempting aud

The history of Mir. Harpeudng, says tho Central City (Col) Register, who Is So exten- sively operating at the Burro mines, is very in, structive and presents warning to all young men. During his 2lst year this gentleman eom- menced business operations and made cool hundred thousand. He has since kept in the same downward course, until now in compa ny with his partner, he is building 30 mile railroad from the Burro mines to the Gila river, Near the river he will erect 1000 stamps crushing their little POGO tons of ere day. The ore IS of live grade-worth, perhaps, S25 per ton-but resembles Comstock ore, and after wet crushing by stamps, is to be anna ga mated raw in pans. and now at 26 years of age, from this and similar operations, Mir, has come to be called the Min ing King of California.

 IL we are to maintain OUT present status, there- fore. we nust endeavor tn obtain ffom the Mexican government transit routA through Mexican territory, either from the port of Guaymas or that of Libertad.

But as the adoption of the route recommended constitutes question of na- tional character, and must undergo formal ex- animation and investigation it would seem ju
 dicious for the legislature now in session, to take some action in the matter. 4 memorial to Congress, for instance, setting forth the
 advantages of freight route from Guaymas or Libertad to Tucson, might materially aid the project At all events it would seem 10 be to to the interests of the people of Southern
 Arizona, to give this matter serious con

SENATOR SUMMERS Posi- TON.

Senator Sumner, IN his treatment OF the great
question, has considered the Alabama claims subject
from the practical, arithmetcal point laid down by
the HERALD.
The Senator has elaborated it, however; he views
1t IN It's naval, commercial, material, civic and
moral aspects. The Senator is retrospective and
prospective He claims for the tangible thing-the
vessels lost; he claims also for the consequences Of
the loss. When the Alabama went forth from Eng.
land America enjoyed shipbuilding trade; to-day
she has none. The Senator requires that our people
should be remunerated for the consequences-by
estimate-as well as for the actualities.
In the HERALD OF the 18th OF April. 1869, we re-
ported Senator Summers speech, delivered before
the United States Senate en- the subject, verbatim.
1t was broad patriotic and national effort and as
such we today commend It-with the other valuable
facts which publlsh-to the members OF the Joint
National Commission whica has been appointed to
settle the Alabama claims bill In Washington, for
first and most earnest consideration ID the council

the usual form. Her Majesty present In
The Lords and Commons mustered IN full force, and
there was II large attendance of spectators. Tho
usual military and cv.c display was MADE. The
weather was 1ne and great crowds Of people wit
messed the procession.
The Queens presence was the cause OF unprece-
dented attendance aud display outside and within
the House. Ladies Grove ded the galleries, and many
were on the door.
The Duke OF AIgyl who appeared early in the
session, was the object OF undisgulsed curiosity.
He was followed by the Lord Chancel-
lor and the members OF the Foreign
Legations. An Oriental Princess next appeared she
was magnifcenty arrayed In jewels and gorgeous
robes. and attracted universal attention.
The Queen arrived at two O'CLOCK with her
children.
Her Majesty wore black velvet robe.
AT the entrance OF the royal family the House rose.
AS soon as the Queen had taken her seat on the
throne the members Of the House OF Commons
were summoned 10 the bar OF the House OF Lords,
and came in with their usual unseemly scramble.
The Lord Chancellor read her Majesty's speech
AT the conclusion of the reading the Queen de-
parted, and the sitting was suspended.
