Origin Of Foreign Missions.

Though foreign missionary Organiza
tions have been in existence for over
two centuries and half, and though
missionary operations have been ac.
lively carried OH ever since the days
wnen the little church at Antioch, in
Syria, sent Paul and Barnabas OH the
first mission to the heather, Protestant
missions. in their present form, have
only existed from about the beginning
of the present century. The Moravians
were forefunners and pioneers Of the
work. In 1893 two oil their number went
to Greenland; 1771 mission was estab-
lished in Labrador, which is sustained
to the present day; and even prior tC
that time, 1901, the Society for the Prop.
agation OF the Gospel was founded in the
Church of England, under the fostering
care of the English bishops. But it's en-
ergies were mainly, il not exclusively,
confined to labors among the English
colonists. And it was not until 1893 that
missions, ON any extended scale, to the
heather were undertaken. Then it was
luke-warmness, indifference, and moral
inertia, that William Cary succeeded in
awakening an interest in foreign mis-
sions, which resulted in the organization
OF the Baptist Missionary Society. Two
years later 1795) the London Missionary
Society was organized by Rowland Hill
and others, and in the following yeal
sent company of twenty-nine mission
aries to the South Sea Islands. Five
years later 1S00) the Church Missionary
Society (Cnurch of Enyland) and tn,
Wesleyan Society Methodist) were or
ganized. For this, as for so many othel
humane, philanthropic, and religious en-
terprises, this country is indebted to the
mother-land. Not until 1910 was the frs
missionary organization in the Unitet
States founded-the American Board 0

Post. .Mortem Recognition.


If public men could. only die at the be-
ginning instead of the end OF their ca
reers, said a voice, gravely, how much
abuse they would be spared, how much
more decent the newspapers would be,
and how undis turbed the conscience OF
editorsl Their mark was suggested by
the sudden death OF the Mayor of
New York. For two years he had sat in
the chair of De Witt Clinton, lifted into it
by the desire of reiorm, and how he was
belabored and ridiculed and opposed by
the pressl If Dogberry had been the
municipal chief, or If the testy old Peter
Stuyyesant had stepped out of the his
tory of Diedrich Knickerbocker and
moved visiDly before the eyes of the city,
he would not have seemed very different
from the figure which the press gave us
of the sturdy Mayor. One cold, windy
morning he was coming to town, and the
train was delayed. Eager to be at his
office and to do his duty, the Mayor
walked against the chill blast for three
miles, and had scarcely reached his desk
when he sank upon the floor and was
dead. Then we heard from the neWspa-
pers that in time of suspicion and ofi-
cial knavery. when even Charles Francis
Adams felt obliged to say of Mr.. Seward
in his eulogy that he did not sell himself,
we heard that the Mayor was perfectly
puYe-handed, that no breath Of doubt
ever tarnished his integrity, but as a mer-
chant and man he was absolutely hon.
est, however whimsical and wayward,
and that if obstinate and antiquated, he
was yet strong. stalwart, upright mag
istrate citizen.
Certainly when, conspicuous man
lies suddenly dead it is not the moment
to rehearse his defects, unless he be
man whose character and career are to
serve as a warming and not as an exam
pie. Nor, on the other hand, while this
is true, is Unnecessary to insist de mort
uis nit nisi bonuDs. Death is'nota sponge
to wipe away the memory Of bau lie.
But shall we tell the truth only OF dead
menl The papers spoke truly of the
Mayor, but it was u strain he was never
permitted to hear. How it would have
warmed his heart. had he lived, to arise
the next morning and open his papers to
read in them such kindly words: He
would not have believed his eyea. He
would have suspected some glamour. But
as he saw that it was no trick Of his
| spectacles, but was indeed true, how
happy would he have been,and with what
renewed zeal he would have underi taken
his duties! Not to ha G felt himself at

A Chinese girl, named Ho, from the
village of Lung Shan, in the district
Shuliluck, was. recently arrested at
Hong Kong as a vagrant. When brought
before the magistrate she expressed q

the case was continued until husband

and then a sudden thought appearing to

pence Of his prosperity. Overcome by

was shown few weeks ago, when he
was compelled to sell his yacht, by which
he transported himself at pleasure from
his little island of, Caprera to the main
land, to pay the bills of vagabond son

profers of pecuniary help except n PEN

The common Judgments that public men
who have served their country, even at
high pay, should be able to spend the re-
mainder of life in generous magnifcence.
Garibaldi is not of that spirit.
His reply to all offers of money is that
he volunteered his services and nothing
was due him. He had served his coun-
try without pay, and as his private life
was simple and democratic, his own
means were sufficient. This is the spirit
of hero. TO have accepted largcsses
would have tarnished the luster Of his
patriotic service. His character is in
harmony with that OF the noblest models
of the best days of olden Rome, when q
Cincinnatus left his plow to save his
country, and returned again to his farm
after the campaign to raise bread for his
family; Or when Regulus asked to resign
his command in the midst of his victo-
ries, in order to cultivate his little neg
lected farm, that his wife and children
might not suffer for lack of food.

IDENTIFY don't believe much in the digni-
ties. We frequently see it stated by
wise editorial connoisseurs Of dignity
that at the expiration of his high office,
the President should retire to the digni-
ty and hospitalities of private life, leav-
ing all work, business and official ambi-
tion entirely alone. They tell us that he
should spend the remainder of his days
in doing dignity for the honor Of his
country, and therefore he should have

bold stand for the Union, slavery or no
slavery, he became popular with the Union
party, and was made Military Governor
of Tennessee, and finally elected Vice
President. The only mistake Of his life
was his whisky frisco on the occasion Of
his inauguration. This was unaccount-
able, and the country has pardoned 1t.
Mr.. Johnson has certainly been an hon.

official corruption that the country is
gratified to find him again one of the elect
for the next Senate. He left the Presi-
dency with about 100000 saved out OF
100000 salary; but that was lost by the
failure of Mr.. Cooke, leaving him only
his Tennessee farm.
Having received very slim educational
assistance, he, at first, appeared i'll Con-
gress under great disadvantage. He
has, however, made great Improvement,
and is now respectable in a literary
point of view. He was the first to intro
duce a homestead bill irto the House,
and he stood faithfully by it TO the last,
in spite of the fact that it was calculated
to greatly check the extension of slav-
cry. he knew very well that planter

that such bail was unheard OF. "Yes." said
Mr.. Peckham, 'and the stealing OF 5000 600

The matter was here rested, and Judge
Brady said he thought the defense should

he would not give his decision until later in
the day.
The argument was on the indictment

with having fraudulentiv obtained the sig

Andrew j. Garvey. On this indictment the
court fixed the bail at $1,000. On the in.

repaired to the district attorneys office.

bail bonds had been executed, the whole
party returned to the Court of Oyer and

on the order Of arrest in the civil suit, and
conveyed to Ludlow street Jail, where he
