FAREWELL SERyICEs.-The con-
ference IN this city OF the Evang, l.
cal Alliance closed Sunday evening
by meetings at the Academy of Mu-
sic, Cooper Institute and Steinway
and Tammany Halls. At this last
meeting. DR.. Hugh Miller said that
he had never been missionary, but
went out to India in 1910 as private
physician. He was soon brought in
to the heart Of the native society in
Bombay, and. as a physician entered
houses to which no missionary could
then gain access. He was therefore
able to speak of the state Of Christi
anity i'll India then and at the tine
he left there, eight years ago.
After enumerating some of the OBJ
stacles to the spread of Christianity
which are peculiar to that coun-
try he went on to mention some of
more general application, that affect
this and every part of the world.
Among the obstacles still remain
ing were the divisions in the Chris
tian Church. An old argument Of
the Hindoos was that the Christians
were opposed to each other, and this
was hard argument to answer.
The difficulty had been partly rene
died, however, by the Ecumcnical
Council of India and by the union of
the converts.
Another serious obstacle was
found in the goddess lives of many
Europeans and Americans in India.
When he went to that country. al
though not missionary, he endeay-
ored to lead a consistent Christian
life and he found that this gave h
character great weight among tn,
natives.
In the last twelve or fifteen years
a great change had occurred in Bonn
bay, Calcutta and other parts Of IN
dia. Cotton mills had been erected
and many Americans had gone there
to engage in various avocations.
Many also had gone there from Eng
land and Scotland, of whom large
number were under contracts to work
on the Sabbath. The lives Of many
of these nominal Christians were a
disgrace to the name they bore and
formed a serious hindrancc to the
success of mission work.

AMONG the measures likely to be
advocated in the next Congress is a
financial scheme of some Importance.
1t is one which will concern not only
the rich but also the comparatively
poor. The measure contemplated is
the establishment of post office saw
ings banks-that is, to make savings
banks OF the post offices. Had Pc
trOleum V. Nasby thought of this in
time, how his ambition to become a
postmaster would have been stimu
lated. Not with him, however, but
with the present head of the depart
ment, did the idea originate. Even
upon Mr.. Creswell it seems to have
dawned by degrees and to have been
finally evolved out of the depths of
his inner consciousness only after a
survey of the varied features of the
postal service in Great Britain. 1t
Is natural development of the mOm-
ey-order, since, if the Post Office
takes care of ones money IN h'ansitu
IN peTpetuO? and. in the latter case,
why should it not pay interest to the
owner? why, in short, should not

lr Is very cheering to find an
article like the following in an inau-
cntial metropolitan paper. 1t is the
one eminently practical way of op-
posing the liquor selling.
The New York Evening Post
says:
The chief business of the temper-
ance men of this state, at the present
time, ought to be the enforcement of
the new Civil Damages bill. This
work is practicable and practical.
All the resolutions in the world will
not provide 4 loaf of bread or a hand

ter to be without either. many times.

THANKSGIVING DAY is again pro-
claimed to all the land between the
Atlantic and Pacific OceaD-for
many degrees of latitude. 1t is a
wide call, to millions upon millions
of people, to look about them, think
of all their blessings and take little
time to express gratitude for them.
4 little time to think Of those around
us. to remember that we are one
great family and that our welfare or
calamity, our needs, our joys, hopes
and successes. our trials and our
supplies, to soul and body come from
the same merciful Hand; and that
together the vast brotherhood should
give thanks.
Gladly, gratefully, tearfully, sub
missively let our hearts be filled, for
in this time let us share each others
griefs and chastenings as well as JOY
and comfortings; and lay down every
feeling OF selfishness or isolation.
Most families are scattered widely
enough to have many varied inter
ests and to stretch the bonds of even
personal affection to far regions.
May this call renew all old ties and
heal old seyerances and unkind-
ncsscs.

is definite, precise, visible. Unfortu-
nately it is very common. Any tenn
perance lecturer can find an instance
of this kind in any community in
which he may speak. Hitherto there
has been 10 remedy for such evils
except in the chance aid of benevo-
lent persons. The whiskey seller
has grown richer as his customers
have grown poorer, and no one had
the legal power to interfere. But the
adoption of the Civil Damages bill
by the legislature of last winter pro-
vides a legal and ample remedy. 1t
does not interfere, it is true, with
the custom of selling Intoxicating
liquors; but it provides for the pun
ishment of the liquor-seller who con-
ducts his business to the injury of
the community.
In fact, the longer this law is in
force the more does it commend it
self. A grand jury lately in session
in Montreal recommended the en-
forc~ment of its principles III that
community. During the coming win
ter it will probably be adopted in
other states. We have this law and
the enforcement of it will reflect the
greatest credit on our temperance
organizations and do more good than
in any other possible way. a syste-
matte trial of it may suggest further
improvements. These will come
along in their proper place and thus
q reform may be made which shall
be true one, because it aims to pre-
serve untouched the liberty of the
citizen in respect to what he shall
eat anG drink and wear, while guard
ing society from the injury now in
ficted upon it through individual
weakness and wickedness.

SPECIE payment has come at last.
The Elmira AdcertiSer has the fol-
lowing, and another despatch saying
that the issuing of silver had been
commenced.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-It is said
that the price Of gold and silver hav-
ing fallen SO low, Secretary Richard
son feels justified in placing the cur
rency on a silver basis and has deter
mined to begin next week paying
out silver, the same as greenbacks
and will when desired pay off bills
against the government in silver and
exchange silver for currency or vice
versa. Instructions 70 this effect
have been issued to the Treasurer
and Assistant Treasurers.
The Philadelphia Press i'll speak
ing Of the same subject gives this
item:
CHICAGO, Oct. 24.-About $65,0O0
in silver coin was brought to this
city to-day 10y the Adams Express
Company, from the Philadelphia
Mint, consigned to one of our ma
tional bankers and a firm Of private
bankers who are paying it out at
par. The bullion from which it was
coined was from one Of the smelling
and refining works of this city, which
is producing about 100000 worth
monthly, all of which it will continue
to have coined for circulation.

gance of the people of the United
States was injuring us very much,
that we were sending out vast guam
titles of gold and silver to pay for
our imports, many of them luxuries,
that it is a very pleasant thing to
find the tables turned, especially at a
time of disturbance and alarm in
money matters. The following is one

A Voice from over the Mountain
Ed. JoURNAL: That memorable is
past which will decide the fate, pO-
litically, of 50 many anxious minds.
Our election passed off very quiet
ly as ! believe was generally the case
under option law.
This election will long be remem-
bered by some of the sporting
part Of the community, who, on their
way came in contact with three
bears. Two of them were killed by
j. Campbell a few rods below r.
Goodwin's house. One was very large
and had lost one foot.
Our sportsmen are enjoying the
liberty of the game here. Last We'd
nesday It party went for deer hunt,
a distance of five miles to what is
called the Cedar Swamp, killed two
very fat deer and got home before
night.
] must say some words in regard
to our beautiful woods. Our grand
old mountains are clothed in robes of
royal purple, trimmed with green
and gold, beautiful beyond descrip-
ton, and our lovely Trout Run valley
with its chestnut, butternut, pine and
cucumber trees, interspersed with
grape and bittersweGt vines, presents
a beauty of scenery hardly ever
equalled, and all this beauty from the
natural decay Of autumn, without
one frost to mar its splendor.
The morning-glories are in full
bloom over our windows, the tomato
vines are green in the garden. Is
not this truly the sunny side of the

be constituted savings bank? BY
this process of induction, the idea
must sooner or later have been elab-
Grated in America, even had it not
been imported from England, where
the system has been in operation
since September l6, 1861. 1t has
met there with so much favor that,
although the premium is but two and
a half per cent, the number Of tinan-
cial post offices, originally two thou
sand five hundred and thirty-five, has
much more than doubled, the num-
Der of depositors increased from be-
tween six and seven hundred thou
sand to considerably over two mill
ions, and the amount of money an
nually entrusted to the government
from f2,ll4,669 to almost { S,000,-
600, leaving at the end of ten years
a balance on hand of { 1903, ,Sl5, or
about eighty-four millions OF dollars.
The advocates of the introduction Of
this system into America propose,
first, the authorization of postal
banks by Congress, and, secondly,
an increase on the English rate of
interest of one-and-a-half per cent.
They claim that the poor will thus
obtain an absolutely secure deposi-
tory for their small savings and that
the Government will so far be the
gamer as to have the use Of an
amount of money at present incalcu-
liable. This plan is strongly urged
by Mr.. Creswell, and will probably
be recommended by President Grant
in his forthcoming message.-Phiia-

THE Popular Science Moathly
says: "One of the great dangers at
tending the use of the various seda-
tives employed in the nursery is that
they tend to produce the opium hab-
it. These quack medicines owe their
soothing and quieting effects to the
action of opium, and the infant is by
