monks Of the Grande Cnartreuse, TO restrain he
INIT tion uf theirtradc MARKS, was heard by udee
snIPMAS In the United States Circuit Court on
the 18th INST. II appeared, as the prOcu'eur OF
the monks alleged, that for many years the
manufacturers OF cordials IN New York have
been using the trade marks Of the convent upon
cordias made in America which tho Reverend
Father averiel was n great wrong and injIry to
him and to check Il he brought suit. The man
ufactureis answered that they had a perfec,
rPht to use the same marks IA the convent, as
they made the same article, and that the pro.
cureur had no special right to claim MONOPOLY.
After hearing argument by Mr.. ROWLAND Cox
for the convent, and Judge HUSTLED for tho
manufacturers. Judge sHIpM,N decided al the

Thus, 1t appears that the contributions made
last year to these four societies for converting
the heather OF foreign lands, amounted to
nearly million and half Of doll RS. II we had
the statistics Of the other tiles In this coun-
try, we presume 1t would be found that the en-
tire amount contributed during the year was
not less than two millions Of dollars. II was,
moreover, hard year, and the subscr ptions
were below what they had been In previous
years Of prosperity. The results from such vast
expenditures, year after year, In Asia and
Africa, have not been very great. There are
mission churches, scattered here and there,
over these continents, with few members, and
there are depots for Bibles and trac 3; but In no
place have the heathenish religions been under
mined, or the hcathenish masses reached, to
any apprecable extent. Even IN the East In
dies, whore the Christian rule OF Great Britain
has been extended over the native millions, and
where British and American missionaries are to
lie counted by the hundred, the conversions to
Christianity, during the long period Of mission
airy labor have not been sufficiently numerous
to produce any visible effect upon tho popula-
ton. But vet, within the last twenty years. the
growth Of the Mahomctan system Of roli gion over
Asia and Africa, has been marvellous. Converts
TO It in the East Indies have been made by the
million, and vast regions In Aftica have been
brought over to the faith of the Arabian
prophet. The missionaries and propagators Of
Mahomctanstn, sclf-denying, energetic, and en-
thusiastic men, arc at this time carrying the
religion Of the Koran into regions and among
masses which have never been reached by the
Christian clergy sent to the heather. Now, why
Is II that the two millions Of dollars raised
yearly In this country for the heather do not
bring forth more abundant harvester few
DAYS ago, Bishop Foster. addressing the Method
ist Episcopal Conference at Newark, said that
the "conyerson Of the world at large was simply
a question OF dollars and cents" But how
many dollars, or millions or billions Of dollars,
would be needed for its conversion at the pres
ent rate Of progress OF the work.

4 BAD BEGINNING.
Tho House journal Clerk Preparing to do n
Bounty Claim Business.

Representatives to-day Mr.. White diep., KyJ
had read an article from the Concord IN. H.
Monitor, which printed circular signed by
Charles H. Smith, the journal cerl, Of the House,
who succeeded Mr.. Barclay, Offering to act in the
prosecution ~ claims for an additional bounty
for commission OF twenty-five pcrcentum. Mr..
White offered resolution instructing the Judi
ciary Committee TO inquire into the matter.
Mr. Smith handed an explanatory letter to the
Speaker, which was read, In which he said that
being at home In New Hampshire at the recent
election, he saw in thc telegraphlc dispatches
that the additional bounty bill was before the
House. lie then made mp his mind, II the bill
should pass, to resign his official position and
follow his profession "a an attorney. In that
view hc issued the circular referred to.
Mr. Morrison Dem, llll offered an amend
mcnt to Mr.. Whites resolution, referring MIR
Military Affairs with Instructions TO ascertain
whether Mr.. Smith mad violated any law, or done
ana act inconsistent with his position as an
officer Of the House.
Mr.. lIoar rep. Nass0 said that tho law on the
subject Of Government servants acting IA claim
agents or attorneys was not the real question In
this case. This gentleman recorded the pro-
cccdiues ~ the House. and was to have a per
record which he made up-an interest acquired
hy him at his solicitation while the bill was
pending. IL was question Of the privileges and
prerogativcs OF the House, and of the method

Integrity all the rights OF the American people
were dependent. lie thought that the matter

Mr.. Morrison modified his resolution accord

this phrase appears to put limitation upon tho
action OF those intrusted with the management

tion Of his fortune. The question, thea, so far

only great work he had begun that can thus be
denominated Is the Working Women's Lodging

correct. No man has ever Jumped over the moon,

consider the length OF the nman legs, the pro-
pulsive rover OF the humai body, and the dis
lance aud size Of the moon, TO see the folly Of
tho attempt. There would undoubtedly be csr-
tain advantages and pleasurs derived from the
power Of jumping over tho noon, but they have
likely that the builders ofthe tower Of BABEL

to do this thing, when they rot tleir work com
