Look After Them,

1t is not merely the preachers business to
attract all he can legitimately to the house
of God it is the business of every Chris
tian in his congregation as well. 1t is right,
therefore, to extend hearty invitation to
all we meet to come to the house of PRAYER.
II the invitation is ACCEPTED, we ought to be
on the lookout for them, and give cordial
welcome, and introduce hem to others in
the congregation. This siould be followed
up by call at their homes. Very often an
unconverted person will strdl into a house
of worship, either for curiosity or from
secret uneasiness of heart tina, prompts him
to seek word of comfort. Heither case,
he deserves prompt recognition. He ought
to be noticed, and with cordia> greeting.
1t may be the turning point in Rs history.

A NEW system of sampling sugars has
been adopted by the appraiser of the
port of New York, the object being to
assess aid collect the duties on the ac-
tual and not the apparent color test, as
heretofore. Several cargoes of centrfu-
gal sugars have recently been detained
for appraisement, upon which the in
creased duties over the invoice valua-
ton have been about one-half cent q
pound. The government chemist has
prepared two solutions with which t0
wash the low-grade centrifugal sugars 50
as to arrive at the actual color test.
One Of the solutions is calculated to re.
move two foreign substances from sugar
witch have been colored by acids, aud
the second solution is intended to re-
move the molasses from the crystals.
In either case the object is declared to
be to remove coloring matter without
reducing the size of the crystals, so as
to arrive at the actual color of the sug-
ars. The loss in most cases by this
raising sugars from not above No. z,
Dutch standard, In color, as invoiced,
to not above No. 10, and in some in
stances to No, 13, it is claimed will fall
upon the Cuban and other manUlac-
turers, as the cargoes thus far advanced
by the appraisers were consignm ents
on commission.

A Curious Race.

Botel TobaGo is an island in the south
seas which has lately been visited by
party of United States naval officers.
They were surveying a rock east of the
suoth cape of Formosa, and called at
this island. They found curious race
of Malay stock. These aborigines did
not know what money was good for!
Nor had they ever used tobacco or rum.
They gave the officers goats and pigs
for tin pots and brass buttons, and
hung around the vessel all day IN their
canoes waiting for a chance to dive fo'
something which might be thrown over
board. They wore clouts only, ate
taro and yams, and had axes, spears and
knives made OF common iron. Their
canoes were made without nails, and
were ornamented with geometrical
lines. They wore the boards of goats
and small shells as ornaments. Such is
the account of these strange people
given by Dr. Siegfried, in letter read
at the last meeting of the Philadelphia
Academy of Natural Sciences.

OYSTERS in California, like those of
England. are small and coppeT-tasted
The eastern oyster is so superior that
California gourmandS willingly pay the
extra cost of overland transit. Trans
planted to Pacific shores, eastern BIZ
valves fatten, but their spawn perish.
Therefore Pacific oyster beds can only
be kept up by constant renewals of
stock from the Atlantic side. A sue
cessful experiment was made last au-
tumn which promises large extension.
Three hundred thousand dime-sized
oysters from Baltimore were planted at
Benicia, thirty-six miles up the bay of
San Francisco, in brackish water. They
are now full size. very fat and well
favored. The profit is very large and
the risk small. Arrangements are
made to remove them out of reach of
the terrible flood that sweeps down the
Sacramento when the rain season is at
Its height. Among eastern bivalves there
are varieties some of which might
breed in California. The discovery
would pay, though probably distinctive
favor would be lost in the second gen

A CINCINNATI cablegram OF March
28th says: Some little excitement was
occasioned at the meeting of Catho-
lie priests of this diocese, last night, for
the purpose of perfecting a plan for
the relief of Archbishop Percell. by the
announcement that Frank Grever,
Chas. Stewart and Thomas Scolon had
been appointed by the archbishop a
committee to receive all charitable con-
tributions to pay the diocese indebted
ness. This appointment was understood
to mean that the committee appoint
ed by the priests was completely
ignored, and caused bitter discussion.
Father Callaghan, fthe cathedral, who
was supposed to be at the bottom of
this movement, was denounced by the
German priest especially. The meet
ing finally adjourned without taking
any united action upon the matter in
hand.

IN the Virginia senate, on Friday last,
Senator Massey, of Albermarle, rose to
a question of privilege and proceeded
to read paper severely rejecting on
Senator @. L. Smith, Of Nelson, for pub
fishing a speech which reflected on
Massey. The language of the paper
was to the effect that thespeech alluded
to, for unrefnement, indelicacy, coarse
ness, misrepresentation, defamation
and vlndictiveness, surpassed anything
he had ever heard in the halls of the
legislature. Proceeding with similar
severe language, Senator Massey was
several times called to order, and during
his remarks Senator Smith denounced
MIN as liar, scoundrel and dog.
= scene ensused, and several PROPOSE
tons to reprimand the offending sena-
tors and require them to apologize
were made. After debate the matter
was referred to the committee on priv
heges and elections for report as to
what action in the premises should be
taken by the senate.

Don't Poison the BIackbirds.
Mankato (Minn.l y ReYiew.

The supervisors Of st. James have
done a foolish thing in passing a reso-
luton to furnish every farmer in the
town two bottles of strychnine, provid-
ed that they will use it in poisoning
blackbirds, which promise to be very
plenty this year. The blackbirds rem
dered valuable service in Kidding that
country of grasshoppers, few years
ago, and they destroy other insects that
prey upon the crops. Instead of poi
soning them, as the above proposition
contemplates, other means might be
INDUCED to protect the corn from the
birds. Soaking in strong tar water is a
good protection; and then seed corn is
cheap-put a few extra kernels in each
hill for the birds-Dut don't poison
them. We may need their help again.

THE old saying that straws show how
the stream flows seems to be verified by
the fact that there has been falling of
to the amount f35O,OO0 in the legacy
and succession duties payable in Eng
land III 1873, rs compared with the
yield to the public revenue from the
same source in 1877. Here, the chan
cellor of exchequer assured the house
of commons the other day, is evidence
of the public distress. The cause of this,
he stated, was to be found in the dimin-
ished value of stocks and in the fact
that they was decline, of some
thousands, in the number of wills ad-
mitted to probate last year. There may
be more than appears on the surface in
these facts and figures.

THE gold production of Victoria, Au-

ounces, being falling off from 1877 of
1900 ounces, or between and per
cent. The decrease in the yield of the
Victorian mines for long series of
years has been constant and consider
able. In 1870, for example, the pro-
duct, was !, ,222, ,798 ounces, which shows
in the interval diminution of 467 900
ounces, or more than one-third.
