WEST AS a GOVERNMENT DETECTIVE.

West remained in his room all day Thursday

day anyhow next week.

RUSSIA AND CENTRAL As1A.-The Russian
government has, we are assured from St.
Petersburg, resolved in Cabinet Council to
undertake q campaign against Khiva, in Gen.
trail Asia. Colonel Makasof, of the imperial
army, has reconnoitred the territory and, it
is alleged, already mapped out the route Of
the royal army and fixed the points for its
encampment Most important national con-
sequences may result from the movement, for
it is almost certain that Great Britain will not
permit, if she can, any northern attempt on
Khiva, Kashgar or Yarkand, or the compile
ton of any further Russian annexations along
the frontier of Western China. The Governor
General of India has already refused an appli-
cation of the Khan of Khiva praying for Brit
ish material aid against Russia; but whether
His Excellency will remain honestly neutral
between the belligerents, should war ensue,
remains to be seen.

French Nationai Restitution to the Or
leans Princes.
The French National Assembly adjourned
yesterday for the enjoyment Of Parliamen-
tary recess during the Christmas holidays
Before the completion of their temporary
separation the members prepared for a due
observance of the great Christina festivals
by the accomplishment of an act of public
absolution and restitution which will rebound
vastly to the honor of the republican govern
mental institution, and may, also, have very
important and decided effect on the constitu-
tional future of the French nation. The Par
lament passed. finally, the bill for the restora-
ton to the Orleans Princes of their property
which had been confscated to the State. This
action will bring to the family descendants
Of the late King Louis Philippe a
very large amount of money, footing up in
the first instance over forty millions of
francs, with q rich territorial patrimony be-
sides. The progeny Of the late Bourbon ruler
Of France numbers to-day ffty-two persons.
The project for the main first division of the
restituted amount includes eight prominent
heads, as will be seen by the HERALD exposi-
ton in our columns. The features of the
Legislative arguments for and against the
action, which we publish, are quite interest
ing in view of the results.

The Protestant Episcopal Church ant
Her Foreign Missions.

Hcr Foreign Missions.
On Sunday last we announced to our readers
that Friday, the Goth, had been set apart by
the Protestant Episcopal Church as day Of
special prayer, with view to invoke the
Divine blessing on the foreign missionary
operations of that Church. 1t was understood
that the day would be so observed in England
and all over the British colonies as well as in
the United States. Apart altogether from the
object, which cannot be too highly commended,
there is something exceedingly beautiful in
this united action of the Protestant Episcopacy.
1t has been the standing disgrace Of Prot
estantism that it wants that unity which the
Master so much insisted upon and which has
always been the principal characteristic Of the
Church of Rome.
tits gratifying to know that the day Of special
prayer was faithfully observed. In most
instances the congregations were large, and
the sober, earnest demeanor of the people
gave evidence of the interest which is taken
in the work of foreign missions. We learn
by cable that the day was religiously observed
throughout England. The Bishop of London
oficated at st. Paurs Cathedral, and Dean
Stanley conducted the services at Westminster
Abbey. At many of the metropolitan churches,
we are told, the congregations were large. We
commend this example of united action on
the part of the Protestant Episcopal
Church to the other Protestant sects.
The example ought not to be lost
on the Presbyterians, who are now talking
of the propriety Of holding grand general
council representative of Presbyterianism
throughout the world. A day OF special
prayer is possible. A general council is beset
with some difficulties. As little should the ex-
ample be lost on the Methodists, the Baptists
and the Congregatonalists. Our readers, we
feel assured, will all join us. in the wish
that the fervent prayers of Friday last may be
heard, and that the Lord Of the Harvest may
be pleased to send forth laborers into His
vineyard. Africa, now more than ever holds
out her hands unto God. "Come and help is
her cry. 1t will be shame to the Churches
il the help is not promptly and efficiently
given.

charitable people have taken the good work in
hand. and it should not be difficult to find
them. In every asylum, house of refuge, hos
pital mission house and charitable institution
good Christmas dinner should be provided
for those whom Santa Claus would otherwise
have forgotten. This is an appeal made on
behalf of no one religious denomination, nor
OF any particular class of the friendless,
because it covers all alike. Charity is not or
should not be sectarian. The list to choose

but we can furnish the names Of few with

may also note. Then there are the Children's

which will give the poor children Christmas

older memories in those who think themselves
forsaken; to lift, or try to lift up all the poor

10 Proposed Now York Crystal
Palace.

During two years past there has been q
quiet movement among some of our wealthiest
and most enterprising citizens to produce in
New York ono of those great international
SHOWS which, by its gathering samples of the
natural and manufactured products of all
parts OF the world, tend signally 10 stimulate
trade and develope excellence in all the indus
trial arts. London, Berlin and Paris have, in
their turn, attracted the curious by World
Fairs' and each has been indebted to its
Crystal Palace for large influx of sightseers,
while Its artisans have learned valuable lessons
from comparison of the best products in
their several departments. New York. when
only fraction of her present size, had her
Crystal Palace Exhibition in Reservoir square,
and was justly boastful of it. till fire reduced
1t and its treasures to heap Of blackened iron
bars and formless ruins. Why shall we not
have another Exhibition which shall equal
that now. preparing in ViennaP In 1870
an act of incorporation was procured
for this purpose and contract male
10 buy eight blocks of land, bounded by
Ninety-eighth and 102d streets, Third and
Fourth avenues-a high. rocky plot admirably
suited for the purpose. Here it is proposed to
erect, at total cost, with the ground. of
about ten million dollars. building Of which
America would be proud; the whole to be
completed and the Exhibition opened for our
Centennial Independence Celebration on the
Fourth of July, 1876 This new Crystal
Palace would be more central than, in its day,
the old one was. Its site is near the lines of
railways which enter the city from the north,
west and east, and is easily reached by horse
car lines. Among the names of the gentlemen
who are vigorously promoting this enterprise
are citizens of the highest sagacity and energy.
1t proposes for all who have individual or
property interests in this city decided and pos
tive advantages which seem to render it Ger
tain that the requisite capital will be quickly
raised and the work done. By all means let
us push on this project with all practicable
speed, and let New York show tho world that
the commercial capital of the American Re-
public can organize and carry out Worlds
Fair as amply attractive as any one yet pro-
duced by European monarchy, in an edifce
as vast, complete, appropriate and beautiful as
has yet been seen. If we do this we shall
all be the wiser, better and richer in more
ways than one for New York's new Crystal
Palace
