This periodical press has lately loet warm
friend md patron in the person Of a wealthy in
habitant Of q French provincial town, who lately
died there under circumstances az singular as
those OF his life. He lived alone in secluded
house, admitted no one to 1t but q charwoman,
who cooked for him, aud newspaper agent. who
sold him thirty or forty Journals at time. At
length he did not appear to open the door to
these habitues when they sought entrance. They
accordingly applied to the police, who, being
armed with the necessary powers, forced their
way into the house Of tue eccentric owner, and
broke in the door OF tho bedroom, tho threshold
OF which no one had ever been allowed to- cross.
Here the poor man was found lying dead. The

From lse T }11tA Pioneer, Feb. G.
The readers Of the Pioneer arc familiar with

tics are pe:haps the most uncertain Of all, get it
is well to hive general conception Of the forces
Of OUT enemies; aud it is well to knuw that,
though the number OF Christians is double tho
number Of MphnmInedans the Buddhist religion
still occupies the first place in tue religious CEN
sua Of mankind.
Buddhism rules supreme in Central, Northern,
Eastern, and Southern Asia, aud it gradually
absorbs whatever there ia 1nft OF aboriginal
hrathenian In that vast md popu1ous area.
Mohammedanism claims ns It's own Arabia,
Persia. great parts Of India. Asia Minor, Turkey,
and Egypt; and its greatest conqursts by mis-
Rionary efforts are made among tho heathen
population OF Africa.
Christianity rcisna IN Europe and America,
and it is con9Gerlng the native races OF Poly
nesia and 1feanesia willie its missionary out
posts are scattered ail over the world.
Between these three powers then. the rc1ig-
ious battle Of the future, the Holy War Of nnan-
Lind will have to be fought, and is being fought
little effect. To convert Mohantnedan Is dif-
ficult; to convert Buddhist moro difficult still
to convert Christian. let us hope, we'll nigh
impossible.
OBJECTS OF MISSIONS.
What, then, it may be asked is the nse Of
missionaries !? Why should We spend millions
on foreign missions when there are children in
our cities who arc allowed to grow up III igno-
rance? Why should VIC deprive ourselves of
some of the noblest, boldest, most ardent and
devoted spirits, and send them into the wilder
ness, while 80 many l8borcrs are wanted In the
yine1ard at home? :
It is right to ask these Questions; and We
ought not to blame those political economists
who tell ts that every convert costs ns E20O,
and that at the present rate Of progress It would
take more than 200, COY years to evansehze tho
world. There is nothing at all startling in these
figures. Every child born in Europe il as mich
b lesthen aa the child of Melaneslau can-
nibal and it costs us mora than E2o0 to turn .

Voorhees, on Currency.

Mr.. VOORHEES, went further than it might
be supposed he went, according to the extract
from his declarations made by us yesterday.
He touched very salient point-Viz., the
keeping in circulation large amount of le-
ga-tenders as the best means of diminish
ing the public burthens and supplying the
needed amount of currency to the people.
On this point he said:
"The Government has fifteen years yet in
which to gradually, and according to the
wants of the country, redeem the iue t,renty
bonds and conuert them into non.tnterest-
BEARING circulation in the hands Of the peo-
ole. The law Of the contract calls for this.
Would it not be better for the people TO hare
this debt in the shape Of a circulating me-
dunn an their o,cn hands, costing them no IN
terest, rather than have it boarded up as
dead capital, and eating them up with inte-
rest? How is this circulation to be re-
deemed ?, saws some one in the interest of
the bondholders. When the time comes for
return of specie payment, after our paper
debt is paid off according to law, surely the
Government can as easily provide for the re-
lemption in gold Of its own circulation ID
the hands Of It's own people as 1t can for the
gold payment of the same amount In, bonds.
Why not? Can any one answer? Iwant
the people to have the gold when we return
to specie payment and are out of debt to the
,bondholders. Grant and his followers and
endorsers, In the Republican party and out
of it, want the bondholders to have it, and
to have 1t now in violation of law. and in
shameless reputation Of the contract."
That is the way to stalk it. p

The RepattaS,
Look out for the engine!

We have only to take the statements of the
people and newspapers most interested in
preserving the responsibility Of the contest
ants for the prizes in the regatta at Saratoga
to decide that those contestants showed more
of blackguardism than refinement in their
late struggle.
We are not wrong. It is we'll to exercise
the body for health at the schools, but dele
ferrous to bring the educated young men
into the contest before thousands and into
collision with the vulgar rabble of great
multitude. ALI the testimony goes to, show
that there was in the rivalry between the
greet schools degree Of hate and malice
utterly incompatible with gentlemanly feel.
ing and educated refinement. The schools
were disgraced by their representatives.
Had the mutual haters and disparagers
fought q vigorous fight that would have re-
deemed them from general contempt; but
they are understood freely to have maligned
one another aud to have borne the malign.
meut brayely with furious hurting back OF
the aodions imputation!" Things of this
sort neither elevate nor refine the minds
and tastes of those engaged In them, and
fearfully reflect upon the true manhood and
good sense of the contestants of the regatta
at Saratoga.
4 We are right about this exhibition Of
muscle by the schools before multitudinous
assembiages. They are in danger Of being
degraded into blackguardism. They ARE in
danger Of becoming mere means of adyer.
Using the schools. And one authority de.
.clares thatit vas considered worth 81, 800 TO
one OF the schools.
We think this subordins.ion Of muscle to
mind is not suitable to 6he discipline that's

Well; then, the railroads have decided that
the special com anies shall do the business
Right or wrong, 1ts is their decision.
But General WnLIAM MALONE, the presi'
dent of the Atlantic, Mississippi and ONO
railroad, swears that their decision is wrong,
and that the railroads ought torun their own ''r
express.
General MALONE maybe; right; bnt 1t is
manifest to all sensible men that his mode Of
running the express cannot be put into ope.
ration unt,l all the roads agree and coape'
rate wih him.
But General MALONE won't wait for their
concurrence. Heruns his own express, and
as nobody runs with him of course the
people on bis line are cut off from commune
cation with everybody else.i This city being
of his line can communicate with nobody
UPON his line, save through lines that run
their noses up against that line and thus de-
liver little express freight at the places thus
"uosed outs. from abroad.
This is The whole case. There can be no
express communication between the people
on bis line and those elsewhere as long as he
persists in running according TO. a plan that
is adopted by nobody but himself. He is the
twelfth man on the jury, who pronounces
The Remaining eleven fools, and thus OBJ
s:ructs and stultifes the ends of justice.
We say what we have said before: that
an impraeicabili,y of management such as
this cannot long exist without proving the
incapacity of the manager, and must, if
persevered in, end in the general verdict to
that effect and the change of management
Mark the prophecy.
