THE FIRST DAY SABBATH ITS
LAW.

Under this title, DR.. G. H. Atkinson
has prepared very able discourse,
which will soon appear in pamphlet
form, and deserves to be generally read
and considered. He traces the law of
the Sabbath, the seventh day of rest, I'M
der the early Hebrew dispensation; its
need to weary man as day of rest from
care and labor, and its dedication to the
worship of God. He proceeds to show
the Interpretation given to the Sabbath
by the Savior, that the Sabbath was
made for man and not man for the Sab
bath; that Christ delegated all power to
His disciples and they dedicated the first
day of the week to HIM, calling it the
Lords Day, observing it upon the day
of the week when He was restored to
them. He shows,in an interesting series
IF sketches from Roman history, the
writings of Pliny and Trajan, what per-
secution Christians endured for its OBJ.
servance and how the Christian Church
with unanimity concentrated the first
day of the week, under the example set
by the Apostles. The need OF the Sab
bath for rest and reflection are we'll set
forth and the fact sustained that the
Sabbath question is one of quality and
not of quantity Travel around the
world westward and day is lost; travel
eastward and day is gained, Towards
the Polar Circle there is six months of
day and six of night These facts show
that the world cannot celebrate the iden-
teal day in unison and it follows that
identity is less important than the pro
per observance of some day as the Lords
Day, rest, Sabbath This discourse
is calculated to strengthen the Christians
faith in the Sabbath, and satisfy the
minds of all that they properly celebrate
the day the Savior rose from the grave,
and upon which, at subsequent times,
he repeatedly appeared to his disciples.

Baptism in Cold Countries.

The st. Petersburg correspondent of
the Boston Advertiser, gives the follow
lug description of the christening of the
third son of the Czarovitch : When the
chapel was filled the service began.
Aikr much chanting and reading the
water is blessed, the child taken out of
his clothes and plunged Into the font,
head first, three times. The priest
closed his eyes and nose with his fingers,
but the "august newborn" as he is
styled in large capitals in the programme
for the day, screamed like an ordinary
baby, and evidently did not like it. He
was then given to the godmother,
wrapped in blankets and dozed quietly
while another prayer was said. He was
only left in peace for few moments.
the priest anointed his ears, eyes, mouth,
hands and feet with holy oil, that none
of these members should do any harm
in life When the little fellow had re-
covered from this interruption and just
began to quiet down he was again dis
turbed and all his hair cut off; thrown
into the font, where it was supposed to
be spit upon, but think the Emperor
omitted this part Of the ceremony.
This is a remnant OF the old Jewish
ritual from which that of the Greek
IchurI is entirely taken Then the En-
peror,' holding lighted candle and car
rying the baby, walked three times
around he font accompanied by the
metropolitan and the godmother, also
with candles. the Emperor invested
the child with the order of st. Andrew,
and then he was taken behind a screen
and given to the nurse, where he re-
manned until the services were over.
The mass was then said, and the whole
service, which had commenced at half
ten, was not over until one. During this
Time every one had to remain standing.

Canned Goldfish Balls.

The demand for canned Goldfish balls
Goldfish, of course-which a Boston
firm began to put up some months ago,
has increased beyond all expectations.
The house cannot supply the steadily
growing request with its present facili-
ties, and is preparing to enlarge them.
For several years it tried to discover a
method by which minced fish, or fishballs,
could be canned SO as to retain their
freshness and the peculiar flavor so
agreeable to New Englander's palate.
They finally succeeded in producing an
article composed of Vermont or New
York butter,ihe very best fish and Nova
Scotia potatoes, which would 90 around
the world and retain all its original vir-
tues. The fish is killed by blow on
the neck, hung up until drained of every
drop of blood, than the napes are care
fully scraped and cleaned. The fish
balls are packed solid in the case and
Theoretically sealed, after which, put up
in cases of ten dozen each, they are
ready for the market. The first sale was
made last May, and the demand has
augmented ever since. In the last four
months $4,000 bushels Of potatoes and
several hundred quintals of fish have
been used. a case of the goods eXhib-
tied at Paris gained prize. They are
shipped to all the leading cities in the
West; have also gone to South America,
Great Britain, France, and lately orders
have been received from Turkey, Egypt,
India and China. They seem to be rel
ished everywhere, and in year or two,
no doubt, they will be found on the
tables of Bagdad, Teheran, Picking and
Petropaulovski.

THE latest iootings for Governor OF
California are: PERKINS, Republican,
69,2lO; WHITE, Workingman, 4l,925;
GLENN, Democrat, 1868; the Republi-
cans being in a minority Of 1855.
Most of the vote for WHITE, the Re
publicaus frankly admit, came from
the Democratic party; indeed, in San
Francisco, the entire Democratic party
has gone over to the WOrkingmen.
When Kcarueyism dies, therefore, as it
promises soon to do, and the Working
mems party breaks up, it is probable
that most OF its followers will come over
to the Democracy, and give that party
control of the State. On National
questions the Workingmen are allied
with the Democrats, as they showed
during the last campaign by endorsing
most OF the Democratic candidates for
COnLrJss.

A RADICAL and important change IN
one ofthe many peculiar systems OF the
public schools of Philadelphia, says the
Times of that city, has been the subject
OF considerable discussion for some
time past among those most prominent
w connected with that department.
The reform proposes the entire aboh-
ton of the old time system of recitation
marks, not only as the test of scholars
capacity for the guidance of the school,
but as information to anxious parents,
and proposes a substitute, as the
incentive for promotion, the ex-
animation averages affair ell at the end
OF each term. AS this would entail
vast amount OF teaching capacity, IN
place OF the present simple formality OF
listening to the parrOt-like recitation OF
what their scholars have "crammed"
themselves with during the late hours
Of the night before, or Learned by
heart" as it is familiarity termed, a
strong opposition springs up to the new
system from teachers who forget the fact
that the junction Of the teacher is to
teach, and not merely to appraise the
scholars daily recitals, with which he
would, in many instances, fare better If
he were practiced at home. The very
time of hearing their recitations at
school deprives the student oil having
them properly explained to him.
