REV. GEORGE AT THE PRESBYTERIAN
CHuRCH-NoRNINa SERMON.
Psalm AS. IA. "For this God Is our
God forever aud ever. He will be our
guide even unto death"
The Bible, said the pastor, has cCr-
tainly wonderful power to move and
kindle the souls OF men. When we seek
for its elements of force and Of fire, one
of the very first that meets us is the con-
ception it gives Of God. Aside from the
revelation contained in the Bible, the
world has been practically without the
conception of one personal God distinct
from the universe. Max Muller, that
prince among scholars, has pointed out
the fact that the three religions which
build upon that conception Al
a foundation--the Christian, Jewish
aud Mohammedan, all proclaim the Coo
of abraham. 1t is a pity that any ate
warming themselves at the fire in tn
house of Gods Revelation and taking
| this great truth as a brand to kindle
| fire tor themselves should turn arOunt
and throw stones to break In the win
dows Of the house whence they hav'
brought it.
Gods relation to His works as Ipre
scented In scripture was then dwclt upon
and attention called to the fact that afteI
setting forth his power aud wisdom
His greatness and glory as seen In ma
ture tho sacred writers turn with delight
to the thought that this God Is the God
OF His people.
He Is theirs on virtue Of bis own cove
nant engagements. His power protects
them; His wisdom guides them; HI
love encircles them and his faithtulnr
Is the everlasting foundation OF u" -
confidence. He IL theirs to trust In.
pray to, to walk with, to love. -
and to enjoy forever.

Large Amount Of Property and Many
Lives Lost.

Advices and papers from Buenos Ayres
bring particulars OF the disastrous Hoods
caused by heavy rains, which occurred
during the last ten days OF July In the
southern parts OF the province OF Buenos
Ayres and the Matanzas valley. The
Prensa gives detailed accounts OF this
great calamity, and says that all the
Banado Of Flores, an area OF eight
leagues or eighty square miles. is under
water; from Uabillito to Santa Catalina,
and from Matanzas TO Barracks. This
ports. All the ranches In the Banado
are inundated. In some places the fam
lilies had time to escape to trees In the
neighborhood, from which they have
been taken off In boats, having been
two days without food. It is feared,
however, that many people have lost
their lives, notwithstanding the strenu-
GUS exeftions OF the chief OF police and
his commissaries, Anzo, Madere and
Pauthou. who rescued $50 families. The
view from the Oarroles. or killing
grounds, is imposing and lamentable.

Nuevo and Alsina all their houses, gar
dens, graserias, soap factories, ETC., are
under water. Trees are visible, but
the sheep have all persisted, and some
domestic fowls alone survive on
the roofs of the flooded houses. On the
shore Of this new inland sea are the
spoils of devastation zinc roofs, dead
sheep and poultry, furniture, clothing,
rafters, etc. There are more than 500
houses partly or entirely destroyed, the
depth OF the flood varying from three

5000 cows and 10000 sheep. Groups Of
dead sheep and cattle form islands in the
surrounding flood. Stretches Of thirty

THE CHINESE QUESTION.
II Is Disturbing the People Of Australia
as wei NJ Those Of California.

John Chinaman is rapidly beco ming
an irritant Of the worst sort to the peo-
pie of Australia, more especially to the
mining population Of that country. He
has invaded Queensland generally, but
more especially the Queensland gold
fields, and some Of the richest OF
these he. has pretty nearly made his
own. The immigration OF Celestials
into the Southern Eldorado is ct the
rate of about three thousand a month,
and the Queensland Legislature has
passed two bills intended to abate the
mischief. One has reference to the
gold field grievance; the other is meant
to meet the alleged general inconve-
nience OF a deluge OF strangers, with
out any means of subsistence. over
spreading the country and inflicting the
burden OF their support upon the well-to
do Anglo Saxon population. By the one
sum Is imposed of E10 per head. by
way. as IL were, OF caution money, on
every Chinese immigrant on his en-
trance into Queensland territory; by
license to dig gold is raised from ten
shillsngs year to three pounds. Years
ago, when Che gold fields of New South
Wales and Victoria were more attractive
than they are now, there was large in
fux Of Chinese and threatened inva-
rion of many more. The government,
urged by popular demand, imposed q
poIl-tax of ten pounds on every China
man landing In the colonies, the effect
of which was to at once put stop to
Chinese immigration. This law has
since disappeared from the statute
books, but is now re. enacted az stated.

in some places outnumber the Euro.
peans by ten to one.

THE CAPTURE OF NICsICs.

The correspondent OF the Manchester
Guardian gives a vivid description Of
the scene In Nicsics when the Montene-
grin flag fluttered out from the staff of
the citadel. Men, women and children
thronged into the streets; the wounded
hobbled out on their crutches from the
hospitals: everybody who had gun or
pistol fired it off, and those who hadn't
relieved their feelings by singing ma
tional hymns and embracing one
another at the chorus; war dances were
danced in the squares, the venerable
Metropolitan and his priests looking
on, and over all this uproar rose the
booming of cannon and the steady clang
OF the cathedral and monastery bells.
1t is the wild. reckless delight of so
many children" writes the correspon-
dent, "and Is inconceivable in civil
lied country" But the Montenegrins
have reason for rejoicing. They have
been trying to drive the Turks out of
Nicsics for centuries, and now, after half
a dozen costly and unsuccessful sieges,
they have done it.

ANOTHER PICTURE OF GAMBETTA.

Since the legislative coup d'etdt, the
world has been treated to some pictures
of Leon Gambetta, the Radical leader.
They are altogether too pretty to be
the World runs, doubtless, to the other
extreme The rough. jerkings OF
the numbering shoulders, the low
behring's of the blood.shot eyes,
the flabby waddlings Of the swinish
lips, the uncouth gestures Of
the heavy arms, the dictatorial conceit
Of the rugged hair, the tumid spongi-
ness of the pendulous ears, the AFRO
giant complacency Of the doughty fin
gers, the swabby awkwardness of the
hulking body, the husky brawling Of
the berry voice, the slovenly clownish-
ness OF the ill-made clothes, and above
all, perhaps, the flippant, domineering,
staggering, contumeliousness Of the
entire attitude and tone make up a
total OF offensive believing vulgarity
from which educated natures shrink
away with repugnance.

A CANNON REVOLVER.

The Whitehall Repje,c describes
formidable gun called q cannon revolt
ver," just adopted by the French gov
eminent. The popularity of this arm
consists In Its oapability of throwing
eighty shells per minute Of rather more
than one pound each, which break up
into twenty-four fragments. The can
non revolver can be brought into action
and the range determined with great
rapidity, and when once sighted It can
be worked without the slightest recoil
and traversed by pivot action. Its de-
struotive effects can thus be brought to
bear on troops either In column or de-
ployed. 1t commences to be effective at
the tremendous range Of over 5000
yards, The first delivery Of this for
midable arm to the French government
is principally for the use Of the navy.
The gnus are fired from and resting on
the bulwarks, and are intended for tor
pedo- boat searching. In this form the
weight Of the piece is only about 700
pounds, but as field pieces the addition
al gear required brings them up to
about 1000 pounds. Two men only are
required to move the gun itself.
