fresh in mind the Savior's promise
that those who follow Him shall have
"a hundred fold in this present time"
as well as eterna, life beyond, the
biography of Yung Wing. q Chinese,
will be apt and timely reading.
This Chinese lad was one Of three
brought to America 80 years ago by
Rev. s. r. Brown, d. D., then princi-
pal Of the Morrison School ut Hong
Kong. Placed in the family of DR..
Browns mother, in Monson, Macs,
Wing began thorough course of
study at the Academy in the town.
He not only made rapid advances in
scholarship. but became SO impressed
with the faith and Christian excel
lence Of his friend, the landlady, that
hs0renounced his heathenism and
embraced the religion Of the cross.
He entered Yale College after his
| graduation, when the writer knew
him-being q fellow-student, though
not in the same class. His religious
character was . rebuke to many of
his fellows, born and nursed amid
the gospel blessings he had but lately
come to know. His progress, too.
was such, in the studies OF q langu-
age and people wholly foreign to him,
that be repeatedly won prizes over
many American competitors.
On receiving bis college degree Tin

native country, burning with . pstri-
OTIS love and o missionary's zeal
He had enjoyed the advantages Of
Christian education and knew their
worth. He longsd to secure the
same to other boys Of his own nation,
and determided TO engage the Chi
nese Government, il possible, in .
scheme for sending native lads to
school in the United States. This
purpose be kept steadily in mind, and
sought employment which he thought
would yield him the best opportuni-
ties. For time he was engaged as

District No. 16,

School district No. 16, J. Mirgli, teacher,
gave delightful exhibition at the Oak Park
school house Monday evening. The attend
ance was very large, showing that people are
taking deep interest in all matters per-
tanning to education, which fact haa lready
been abundantly demonstrated by the ex-
ceedingly large attendandance at the exhibl-
tions given by the Oak Park and South
Saltwater schools in their respective districts.
The exhibition Monday evening was most
excellent one, rejecting credit alike on
teacher and pupils.
The entertainment was rather out of the
regular groove of school exhibitions, being
the more pleasing and less tiresome on that
account. A number of pleasant dialogues
and laughable farces were rendered IN a
praiseworthy manner, and an astonishing
degree of talent was exhibited by the parti-
cipants. The regular order of
exercises included paper edited
by Miss Gowan and the Misses Whalen,
which was model, and proved very
entertaining to the hearers. It would in fact
be credit to older heads. Among those
worthy of special mention are Miss Frances
Gowan, Miss Maggie Whalen, Miss E. Nell
son, John Gowan, and James and Willie
Whalen.
The exhibitions given by this school in
the future will undoubtedly be we'll at
tended.

The "MYStery.N

An article in the St. Paul columns of the
GLOBE states that Miss Williams on Sun
day gave birth to child and that the whole
matter is shrouded in mystery. The follow
ing is undoubtedly the key to the mystery.
Something over year ago three sisters by
the name Of Strong came to this city and
established themselves in the business of
making dresses. They were not in the city
long before it was currently rumored that
they were not as good as they ought to be
and that making dresses was only a cloak
under which they piled less honorable
calling. Although it was commonly believed
that such was the fact it was not positive ly
known unless by those who frequented the
place. The name of the youngest sister,
which is the Miss Williams mentioned in
yesterdays GLOBE, was Lydia. About the
last Of August the eldest sister, Ellen, was
married to DR.. Allen, dentist in this city
at the time. Late in the fall DR.. Allen, his
wife and her sisters removed to Taylors
Falls, and, we suppose, from there to St..
Peter.
