any of them was doubtful.

Some one has given the following
reasons Why people should dress plain
~ on Sunday. These reasons are a
valid any other day in the week:
l. It would lessen the burden of
many who find it hard to maintain
their places in society.
2. 1t would lessen the force of temp
tati0ns which often lead men to barter
honesty and honor for display.
& If there vas less strife in dress ut
church, people in moderate circum-
stances would be moro inclined to at

4. Universal moderation in dress at
church would improve the worship by
the removal of many wandering
thoughts-
s. 1t would enable all classes to At
tend church in unfavorabIe weather.
6. 1t would lessen on the part of the
rich the temptation to vanity.

1t has been reported that the German
Empire has purchased the PortuRuese
settlements in Delagoa Bay, on the
east coast of South Africa. Varioua
conjectcres have appeared in relation
to the object of the Germans in seeking
footholl in Africa, among the most
plausible of. which is the superstition
that the Emperor. who has frequently
manifested mis- dissatisfaction With the
large emigration Of his subjects to
America, is dcsirous of divcrtinp the
outflow of bone and sinew to a COLONY
of his own. II that is his PURPOSE, he
has selected rs good a point for the
experiment as could be found in Africa.
Behind the bay lies y vast stretch of
aabitable country, capable of support
ing very large population, while the
bay itself is a natural point of en-
trance to the territory claimed by
the Boer or Dutch Free States.
One Of these States, Orange, in which
the diamond fields are situated. has
been very summarily taken into Brit
lsh possession since the diamond dis.
coveries; another, the republic of
Transvaal, is one which has recently
attracted attention from reported dis.
coveries of gold within its borders,
The last named State, whatever may
be the value of its gold deposits, is I'M
douhtes1ly very rich in other minerals,
while it possesses an agreeable climate
and . soil of great fertility. 1t is pos
siblc that the German Emperor may
have in view the project of taking pos
session of the most inviting of these
IIec otaDess NJ treat britain seized up
on the diamond fields. But 1T would
be pity to see so promising republic
as Transvaal, which under the admins
trat,on of All energetic and enlightened
President is making rapid progress, sud-
denly overthsown by the superior pow

A BITTER COSTB0vERsY.-The tenn
perance organs are waging bitter war
on the manufacturers OF alcoholic bit
tiers, and their attacks are resented
with equal bitterness by the latter, who
seem determined to prosecute the omar
rel to the bitter end. In the meantime
a novelty in tonic medicines is making
immense progress in the confidence Of
all classes and conditions of society
throughout the United States and
British America. We refer to Dr.
Walkers CALIFORNIA V1SEGAH Brr,
TEss, and we call it a novelty in tonics
because it contains no alcohol-an ar
tlcle heretofore considered essential in
medicinal invigorants. The absternious
portion of the community approve the
omission, and as the new remedy il
curing dyspepsia, biIiousnc~s, nervous
affections, and, in fact, a majority of
the diseases, external and internal,
which prevail, it Is difficult to see how
the more self indu]gent portion of cur
fellow citizens can cOnscientiOusly oh,
ject to it. One thing is certain: ii ever
there was what the French call a
grand success, " the sudden and CON-
FINALLY increasing popularity Of the

the tidal swell, surging in through

touched the lava with their own hands:
and in books written ON the Vesuvian

positively that the difficulty of cutting

the disinterment of Herculaneum. How
