He said he had been il partner h ,
with the Doctor for some time, and
that there had never been hard feel
ing between them, and that Doctor
Spence, to his certain knowledge, was
true Christian gentleman and wor-

speech in reply to these manifesto
tions of love and respect, assuring
them they We're appreciated, It ing
that his connection with them had
ever been pleasant, and that his ex-
pericnce in Mexico should ever be a
green spot in his retrospect. He said
he had been in many places but that
he liked Mexico best of all, for here
he found more true talent. intellect
and sociability even than he had found
in the so-called Athens of Missouri.
The gathering, although it was tc
be a farewell to one loved by all, was
one of the most ''recherche' of the
season.
The following resolutions of re-
spect were unanimously adopted by
the society:
Whereas, We have learned with re.
gret that our friend and brother, DIR.
A. p. Spence, is about to change hi:
location, and emigrate to California
therefore,
RESOLVED, That in the loss of oul
brother, the medical profession Q
Mexico loses one in whom we recog

RESOLVED. That in the departure
of the doctor from our midst, the cit

whose place will be hard to fill, ant
whose department has commended
himself to the appreciation and com.

RESOLVED, That in his departure

imagination. The lecture is both
highly entertaining and instructive.

"MORE AMENS."

Perhaps 50, / do not question that
there may be a stage cf civilization, a
days journey in the march of the
race, when the emotional may be cul-
tivated to advantage, any more than
that picture and image worship had
it's day, in the long reach of time.
Catholicism had its work to do, and
has done it, SO emotional Methodism
had its work to do, and has done it,
and think the effort to bring back
the old distinctive features" the
great deluges of ''amens" we used &c
hear, will not succeed.

. The first and only railway in Chi.

- The first and only railway in Chi
ma, the line from Shanghai to Woosung,
recently built by English capitalists,
turns out to be great success. There
is regular traffic, and rush for the
cars at the stations. The nimble natives
are particularly expert at getting inside
the cars. The Chinese themselves have
now undertaken line to run from Woo
suus to Soochow, and English capitalists
are not indisposed' to advance the funds
on an enterprise which promises to pay.
The railway having thus become incor.
porated with the new policy of the most
conservative nation of the world, it is es-
timated that before many years English
and American engineers, contractors and
builders will be having something to do
with the vast interior of the Chinese
Empire.
