a new mission i to be attempted among the
Mongu's. In the Foochow field the work IS
suffering for laborers. In Japan The missiona-
rles OF the Board are now in the field, and
three more are under appointment TO go.
The work is now carried on in Micronesia in
cooperation with the Hawaiian Board. Four
teen islands now have missions. The sending
of new Morning STAR" and the return OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Snow, Mr.. Sturges and Mrs.
Doane, and Mr.. and Mrs Whitney, are the
prominent events of the year. In the island of
Tapitenea, where in 1869 only 120 out of 5000
inhabitants could read, at last reports there
were 1900 pupils at school, 1000 OF whom could
read.
The work has prospered among the North
American Indians. In the Dakota tribe two
new churches have been organized and one
hundred new members added to the eight
churches. Schools have been established, and
large part of the Bible translated.
The review concludes with an earnest appeal
for new men. The record of new missionaries
for the past year shows only four men aud six
teen women. The weary veterans in all parts
of the field are calling for relief At Ieast 81
new ordained missionaries are needed to &C

This is at least true of the old method of treating
the long abused and much abused human body. 1t
is no ler gei considered wise to put patient to the
torture in order To cure him OF disease in which
pain is already undermining the energies of his sys
tenn. True science ranges itself on the side of
ture, and endeavors to assist in her fight against
disease. This is the province of Hostetter's Stom-
ach bitters, the most approved tonic ever adver-
tised in this country. 1t may be recommended as
fall medicine, par excellence; ior it is in the tall

The successful negotiation of two hundred
millions of the New Government Five per
cents demonstrates the fact that our Govern
ment will not pay more than four to five per
cent upon any future securities. 1t is also
evident that the outstanding six per cents of
the Government are to be rapidly called in for.
redemption, the funds received from the sale
of the new Elves being all appropriated, by
act of Congress, to that purpose alone. 1t is
expected that the Secretary of the Treasury
will give notice September LIST, of the cancel
lation of the interest on nearly or quite one
hundred million of the Five-Twenties. This
call will be followed by monthly purchases of
other large amounts.
tits, therefore, an established fact that hold
ers of Government. Skies must either accept a
lower interest national security in place of
that now held, or take the high prices that
may now be realized by sale of their Bonds,
and renvest in other securities which will pay
greater income. That the majority will take
the latter course is evident when we consider
the profit of such transaction.
Among the Railroad Securities which have
an established reputation, and which present
many guarantees of safety and profit, are the
First Mortgage Bonds of The NEW ORLEANS,
MOBILE AND Texas RAILROAD COMPANY,
which bear 8 per cent. currency, or per cent
gold interest; have fOrty-fVe years to run; are
in the denomination OF 81, 900 or G20O each !;
are limited in amount to 500 per mile, and
are based upon the Louisiana Division of the
Grand Trunk line, from Mobile through New
Orleans to Houston, of which line two-thrds
is already built. These Bonde are offered for
the present at 80, and accrued interest from
July l.
At this price these Bonds pay more than
eUenty fUe per cent. greater annual interest
upon the investment than an equal amount
put into the new Government fives; and it is
believed in points of safety they are beyond
Question.

The best hold on Brigham Young IS evi-
IDENTIFY to try him for murder, as is proposed.
Polygamy he defends as an ESSENTIAL part of
his religious faith, but we do not learn that
even the Mormon Saints count murder
among the means of salvation. If 1.-THE of
the reports concerning the murders committed
by the "Danites" by authority of the church
are true, there is good ground for arraiening
Inc Prophet ON this charge. He will find it
extremely difficult to make out case of re-
'igious persecution as a reply to well sus.
tanned charge of murder.

IT is singular fact that there have been
few large fires in the woods. of Maine this
year, Notwithstanding the unprecedented
dreught. We believe there has not been a
September for mary years with so few
''smoky days" This fact speaks volumes as
to the possibility of avoiding the immense
losses that have from year to year impover-
Shed more or less owners of timber lands.
No sane man has dreamed of setting a fire
this year. If fraction of this prudence were
used in ordinary times those immense con-
fagratIons that desolate whole townships
aud even endanger villages might always be
avoided. 1t is also noteworthy that the year
has been marked by an unusual exemption
from large fires in towns, and there are no
additions tc be made to that appalling list of
cities which have been burned in Maine DUR
ing the last ten years. For once, in country
and city alike, needful caution has been
used.
