The Women OF Lima.

Lima, says an exchange, is called a
paradise of women. They arc called
beautiful; so they are, if you admire
black eyes and ebony trcsseS-not the
dreamy black eyes Of the harems, nor
the sparkling black eyes Of the Syrians
nor the liquid black eyes OF the Egyp-
tians, but the black eyes that easily
reveal the different types of character.
Peruvian ladies' have character and
are not afraid to show it; yet we hear
nothing of equal rights and privileges
among them. For them to lay clam
to right is but to possess it, Tor they
can easily win over the priesthood,an
thus have the most powerful class OF
Peru Oh their side. They are general
" occupied, but do not work; they
look upon work as degrading. TAoy
rise early, take u cup OF tea and 60 to
mass. Their toilet requires butt few
moments. Their walking suits are
neat and pretty; in this respect they
surpass us. The dress is black and
never touches the ground; there is no
fussing or iumbling with trains. A
white skirt is sometimes seen little
below the dress, with deep hem and
two tucks, and always white and clean.
Prunella CATERS are generally worn !;
and hands are bare; the manla is
thrown over the head, falling grace
fully down almost to the bottom Of
the skirt.
The subject of dress claims most of
their time and attention; their ball
dresses and opera aud soirce suits arc
magnificent. Their boots, especially
arc beautiful. No people have mtur-
ally as small feet rs tlie Peruvlans.
Tho Poruyian-mado boots are 100
small for foreigners.
Peruvian ladies arc not very intclli-
gent; as soon rs they pass beyond tho
school girl period they care little for
books or literature. Many learn TO
play the piano when young, but do
not care to continue when married.
They arc excessively courteous IN Their
manners, but We arc not to be lnlscd
by appearances. Their mode of sau-
tation is more Of an embrace than
anything else, and they always say:
"My house and all that | have is en-
tircly at your disposal, and we are to
DO as ono family They are always
wealthy in inaglnation-at least they
never speak of poverty. They love to
smoke. Although handsome when
young, they scarcely turn twenty when
they begin to fade. Ono thing always
lasts with them, and that is their gait.

Rationalism in the Church of
England

A correspondent of the CHurchnaan
writing from England, laments the pre-
valence of Rationalism in the Church of
England. He says:
." Very many are already learning to
deal with the Bible after the fashion of
Colenso. Not many years ago it was
considered blasphemous to speak of the
Bible as book which was to be treated
exactly like any other book and to give
mp It's historical character, especially
when such numerous proofs of its ac-
curacy had only recently been brought
to light, was held to be mark of often
slye ignorance. Now, on the other hand
the doctrines of Darwin and Herbert
spencer have penetrated into our Uni
Yersltles, have sapped our faith, have
suggested to weak minds various subtle
methods Of evacuating the Bible of all
Its meaning, and taught our preachers to
indulge IN every sort Of vague philosophy
and qnsound exegesis form the pulpit dedi-
Gated to true religion and sound learn
ing Not that | would insinuate that
the canker has attained any hold of the
vital parts Of our church as yet, though
1t IS getting perilously near them. The
multltudes in our towns and country are
still fed by faithful pastors, and the lit
erature OF unbelief is still only current
among sections and classes, both in the
upper and lower ranks Of society. But
we are sadly in want of prophetic arise
among us. The ultra High-churchmen
are tainted in all directions. The Even
gelicals' do not rise above mediocrity.

form the mass Of our clergy and upper

Aloha: A HdtCaiian Salutation By Geo
Leonard Chaney-( Roberts: price, $l5O,) is a
bright account OF three months visit at the
Hawaiian Island. 1t carries the reader over
quite new ground, and gives much information
as to life, manners customs, climate scenery
missionary abors, statistics, and all sorts of de.
tails about these too-little known gems of the
racine. The author cannot say too much in be-
half OF the men and women who have been the
means of Christianizing these Islands. and of
their beautiful lives of selfabnegation. He
paints Honolulu as place Of enchantment with
Its delicious temperature, its sea bathing re-
sources, its varied society picked from all the
civilized nations Of earth, it's warm hearted hos
pltallty, Its nonchalant and easy living. Mr..
Chaneys visits to the main points of interest in
the group OF Islands, are vivid but sometimes
overlald with too much fine writing: in endeav-
oring to convey his own complex emotions. he
occasionally becomes stilted as in his attempt
to paint for the reader, Kiauea. the transcen
dent volcano of the world-Kilauea-thc Onlvy"
But the volume is most pleasant one, and will
furnish the reader with many fresh ideas about
this outside corner of creation. A map and some
agreeable wood-cuts add greatly to the value of
the book
Holy Songs Carols, and Sacred Ballads, (Rob-
erts-price $1,) is an English reprint and comes
to us without name, though it is said to be bv
a well-known English Poet 1t might have
been written by Frederick W. Faber, and were
he alive, we would trace it, an account ofsits
quaint, medieval thought, its fervid spirit and
Its peculiar antique flavor, to him Christine
Rosette, that charming author of some of the
tenderest devotional lyrics of our day-lyrics far
surprising anything that ever came from AIDE
lalde Proctors pen-might have written these
Holy Songs: but as she always writes under her
own name we can scarcely attribute them to
her. Whoever wrote them, we can truly say of
them that they are very devout not to say,
rapt in their loftiness of spirit; and throughout
one is struck by an originality of thought and
expression which one scarcely looks for nova
days, in religious poetry How little like our
ordinary hymns are these verses
Somewhere, quiet in the rest of God.
Live our dead-the well-beloved dead;
Tho we seemed to leave them meath the sod
To the everlasting hills they sped
There they sit-our we'll beloved dead.
Somewhere, in the counsels known on high,
Certain as the southing of star
Stands the hour writ down when l shall die
Oh, to go where all my good things are,
Calmly as the southing OF a starl"
Could any smile go beyond "the southing of
a star'-in its suggestion of certainty, and calm
ness, and quietness, untouched of earth2

testant Church of France cannot be held.
because the Government will not sanction
any meeting which does not embrace all
parties and all shades of opinion in the
Church; and the Evangelical and the
Rationalistic parties are so widely at va
rance that they do not wish to meet to-
gether. But Synod has just been held
which has been called $" non-oficial
Synod, not being recognized by the Gov
eminent, and having no jurisdiction over
the churches. This non-oficial BODY sat
for ten days and discussed with much
earnestness and intelligence the present
position and opportunities of French Pro
testantism. The result of all was to in
dictate clearly that the evangelical portion
of the Church does not propose to make
concessions, involving any fundamental
doctrine, to the RationaIistic party. or
" Liberals, - as they are called. The DO
sltion hitherto taken by the Huguenots of
France is to be maintained, and the old
faith re-afirmed and proclaimed. We
hope the moral earnestness which made
the name Of the Huguenots great will re-
appear in their descendants.

A Monster Ship.

a new steamship, which when COM
pleted will be the largest and the finest
merchant vessel in the world, is now be-
ing built at Barrow, England for the.
inman Line. She will be ready for use,
IN the spring of 1881, and will then begin
making regular trips between this port,
and Liverpool. The City of Rome was
regarded as the most appropriate name
which could be given to this addition to
the Inman feet. Her dimensions are to
be as follows: Length of keel, $40 feet,
length over all, $50 feet; breadth Of
beam, SO feet; depth of hold, SO feet q
inches. and depth from top of deck-houses
to keel, SO feet. Her measurement will
be $500 tons, or over 1000 tons larger
than either the City of Berlin or the Ari-
IONA. and oOO tons larger than the
ServIa, the new Cunard steamship,
winch Will be completed this fall. She
will be over four-ffths of the size of the
Great Eastern. The engines of the CITY
OF Rome will be of 9,5OO-horse power.
with SIX cylinders, three of which are
hIgh-pressure and three low, pressure.
There will be eight boilers, heated by 48
furnaces, and the vessel can be propelled
at the rate of lSf knots an hour. She will
carry four large masts, and three smoke
tunnels. a large spread of canvass can
be set, which will enable the steamship
to make good time, if necessary. without
the aid OF the engines The saloon and
state-rooms will be placed amidships. and
will contain every facility for comfort
and luxury. All the latest improve
ments are to be added, and the entire
cabin will be splendidly furnished and
upholstered. There will be 275 revoly-
ing chairs at the saloon-tables. and the
state-rooms will easily accommodate 800
tlrst class passengers. A drawing-room
which can be occupied by 100 ladies at
once, will be placed on the deck imme-
dlately over the saloon. The smoking
room will be above the drawing-room.
and will accommodate 100 smokers at
once. The saloon will contain six bath
rooms. There will be room on board for
Tor almost any number of steerage pas
sengers, and space for an enormous o1an-
tty of freight in the hold. The Citv of
Rome is to be built of steel, with double
bottom, and II bulkheads. Two longi-
tudinal bulkheads are to be run through
the engines and boilers space. These
Will greately decrease the danger of the
vessel sinking in case of a collision The
top decks are to be Of the best teak. No
expense is to be spared in making this
magnificent steamship perfect in every
respect. She will have the highest clas-
SIfcatlon OF any vessel in the Liverpool
Textbook and in the British Lloyds.
The lnman people expect that, so far
as the transportation Of passengers and
freight goes, the City of Rome vii! prove
the monarch Of the seas. Work was be-
gun on the new vessels as soon as the
contract with the Barrow Steamship
Building Company had been closed

The Missionary Maqazsne of the South

y 'A''Jt"-o'CC VI VIC DOuIl-
ern Presbyterian Church says:
The opinion is held generally, that the
land in which we live is Christian coun-
try, in the sense that the gospel is uni
versally diffused, and that the people
throughout its length and breadth have
access to the ordinances of the sanctuary.
1t is often urged, that the people in the
United States have the means of grace
In abundance, and that they are guilty
IN the sight of God of willfully refusing
the light if they fail to believe and be
saved; Now your Committee is con-
Vlnced that these representations are
seriously exaggerated, and that an i'm
mense responsibility rests upon the
Church in regard to giving a pure gospel
to tens of thousands of our fellow citi-
zens, who are going down to death for
lack of knowledge, and who in the midst
of this nOminally Christian land, NAV
with reason take up the mournful refrain,
mo man careth for our souls" The
Committee has information from all parts
OF the Church Of the existence of the most
grievous restitution of Christian ordinan-
ces, and that sometimes where they do
nominally exist, they are fraught with
ruin to deluded immortals instead of i'm
parting life and salvation.

class laity, are much in the same condi-
ton. Every thing betokens one of those
periods of trials which all branches of the
church have to undergo at certain inter

ROMAN CATHOLICISM cannot have made
so many noble 'verts in England as have
recently been claimed, for, according to
the Catholic Directory, which is issued
under Cardinal Manning's auspices. there
are only thirty eight peers and fortyeight
baronets. Lord Berry, Lord Bray, and
the Earl of Ashburnham are the latest
additions. There are now one hundred
and twenty-seven Archbishops and Bis
hops in Great Britain, Ireland. and colo
mes. The whole number of priests in
Great Britain alone is 2,211, which ac-
cordlng to popular estimates, is not twice
that OF little Malta, with its 100000 in
habitants. When these figures are con
sldered, the enormous strides boosted of
IN certain English papers as taken by the
Church can hardly be worthy of appre-
henslon, for the number of priests well in
dicates the number of Pensioners. tt
a curious fact that Catholicism is on the
increase in Scotland where the reforma-
ton had its highest advancement, and
for ages the Scottish mind was more com
pletely imbued with reform doctrines
than that Of any other country. Roman
Catholic success and among such people
would seem as a wonder if we did not
know how far some of the staid old Pro-
testant denominations had got from their
first principles Heresy and rationaIism
have for some time been preparing the
way Tor Observation-Disclosures.

PREAGH1NG.-The great French preach
ers used to write and learn their sermons
by heart, like the Greek orators of old,
and one at least of the most eloquent ex-
tempore preachers in the Church of Eng
land at the present day is said to do the
same. Others might find the prepare
ton Of notes sufficient, perhaps commit
ting to memory certain critical passages,
as is the habit Of some of our greatest
Parliamentary orators not but there is
danger IN trusting too much to p,up1lre5
p0n19. Every one has heard the story
of an ambitious young preacher, who had
been discoursing before Rowland Hill.

to tell him which passage in his sermon
