MONTHLY Review.

Our latest intelligence from Campinas
is to the 10Th of April. The missionary
work in its different departments was
going on as usual, and the only reference
made to the health of the mission is that
they were as well as usual" The sad
affection that has befallen the Pernam-
buco Mission is fully presented in sep
arate article. The long and earnest let
ter from Rev. j. Rockwell Smith, pub
llshed In our present ISSUE was written
only two weeks before the death of Mr..
Thompson, and deserves a careful perusal
by all who love the missionary cause.
We hope this earnest call will not fall
powerless on the heart of Gods people.
We have letters from China to the 18th
OF May. Several of these will be pub
llshed IN the present number of TIE Ms
Sao'eoqy, and will be found interesting.
Mr.. Stuart writing from Hangchow, says:
81 have time only to add that we are all
well and that our work is going on as
usual. We have just received your let
ter saying that Mr.. Sydenstricker might
start In May or June. We will be ready
to give him warm welcome" Mr.. Du-
Bose, after referring to the improved
health of his daughter Paulina, adds,
" that Miss Safford's work is very hope
full She is now the sole editress of the
Woman's work"
From Greece we have letters as late as
the 9Th of May. We are sorry to learn
from these that Dr. Kalopothakes is still
a great sufferer, having been confined to
his bed for nearly two months with acute
rheumatism. His only hope of recovery,
as is supposed by his physician, is in 90
ing to the Sulphur Springs, which he was
preparing to do. A letter written from
his sick bed pleads earnestly that young
Greek, who has recently graduated at
Princeton College, may be sent out to
aid him in the work of translation. A
letter in our present issue by Mrs. Samp-
son will be read with interest Other
members of this mission besides DR.. Kali
opQthakes have suffered from recent sick
ness.
a letter has been received from Miss
Ronzone as late as the 21st of May
Owing to sickness her school is not as full
as it was last year, there being upwards
OF forty pupils at the present. She men
lions two persons of note who are now
reading the New Testament Scriptures
with her every day, from which she an
ticipates important results.
Recent letters from Matamoras repre-
sent the missionaries there as well. Rev.
A. T. Graybill was united in marriage to
Miss Hattie E. Loughridge, at Marlin,
Texas, June Ist, by Rev R. L. Tough
ridge, the father of the bride. Mr.. Loug Oh
ridge was for many years missionary
among the Cherokee Indians.

George Whitefeld.

Inns man, who now saunters up to Join
the assembly, is very different type
from the gentlemen of the court. His
brow is knit at intervals he murmurs
some word to himself as if he wished not
to forget it; something very like a proof
sheet is peeping out of his pocket. Peo-
pie stare at him, half with curiosity, half
with wonder, as though they were sur
prised to see him here. David Hume
has, in truth, not much time to spare
from his history, but he cannot deny
himself such an intellectual treat as lis
tening to Whitefeld. In and out among
the well-dressed many, there moves a
crowd of people who wear neither silk
nor velvet. There is the artisan, with
his wife and children, who have come
out here chiefly for the sake of the fresh,
sweet country air; there are the city
clerk and his sweetheart doing little
flirting to while away the time; there is
the poor needle-woman, whose pale face
has such a wistful look, that we fancy
her heart must be beginning dimly to
guess that If she could grasp the mean
ing of the great preachers words, it
might possibly bring into her life even
more warmth and coloring than there is
in the dresses she stitches for the grand
ladies. Suddenly the murmur of voices
which has been running through the
vast assembly is hushed The duchesses
and countesses incline their heads a
quarter of an inch forward the fans of
the actresses cease to futter; the mass of
the people make little rush all in the
same direction. Every eye is fixed on a
man who is ascending slowly green
bank near at hand. At first sight there is
nothing very remarkable in his appear
ance. His figure is tall and spare, his
dress is homely when he turns towards
the audience we see that he squints and
he has no especial beauty Of feature.
But the moment he begins to speak, his
face is forgotten in his voice. How does
1T thrill with holy passion as he tells of
his dear Lord how does it ring with
stern indignation against sin, and yet
how does it melt with tenderness over
the sinner 1t is so clear, that it is
heard at the further end Of the wide as
sembly and yet so sweet, that music is
the only word that can give an idea OF
its tones. His face too, and his figure
have changed since we last looked at
him. Meaning has come into every
movement Of his hand each feature an
swers to the theme upon his lips, as does
the lake to the lights and shadows in the
sky above his form seems to have grown
majestic, and to be like that Of the de-
sert preacher, or of him who cried
against Nineveh. When he speaks Of
heaven, we almost believe he has been
there when he tells Of the Saviour's
love and suferings, it seems to US that he
must have walked with Peter and John

Consolation.

All are not taken there are left behind
Living Beloyeds, tender looks to bring.
And make the daylight still happy thing,
And tender voices, to make soft the wind.
But if it were not soft could find
No love in all the world for comforting,
Nor any path but holloway did ring,
Where dust to dust" the love from life dis
joined
And if before these sepulchres unmoving
l stood alone, Gas some forsaken lamb
Goes bleating up the moors in weary dearth,)
Crying, Where are ye my loved and loying?"
l know voice would sound. Daughter, 1 AM,
Can suffice for HEAVEN and not for earth?"
Elisabeth Barrett Browning.

Peace.

The believers peace is like river, for
continuance. Look at it, rising as a lit,
tie brook among the moses Of the lone
green hill; by-and-by it leaps as a rugged
cataract; anon it flows along that fair
valley, where the red deer wanders and
the child loves to play-with hum of
pleasant music the brook turns the vii
lage mill. Hearken to its changeful
hum as it ripples Ger its pebbly bed, or
leaps adown the wheel, or sports in ed
dies where the trees bend down their
branches to kiss the current. Anon the
streamlet has become river, and bears
upon its food full many craft. Then
its bosom swells, bridges with noble
arches span it, and grown vaster still, it
becomes stream broad enough to be an
arm of old father ocean, pouring its
water-foods into the mighty main. The
river abides the lapse of ages; it is NJ
evanescent, moving cloud or transient
rain-hoodj but in all its stages it is per.
manent.
Men may come, and men may 20,
But flow on forever"
Evermore, throughout all generations,
the river speedeth to its destined place.
Such is the peace Of the Christian. He
has always reason for comfort. He has
not consolation like swollen torrent,
which is dried up under the hot sun Of
adversely, but peace is his rightful pos
session at all times. Ever is the river in
its place. And even thus, come night,
come day, come sickness, come health,
come what will the peace Of God which
passeth all understanding will keep the
Christians heart and mind, through
Jesus Christ.-Spurgeon.

" Men may come, and men may 90,
But | flow on forever"

Faith fixes on the divine revelation,
and assents to that Hope fastens on fu-
ture felicity, and waits for that; and in
heaven, faith will be swallowed up in
vision, and hope in fruition

Love covers sin from others, but not

Gould's Winnings.

Gould's winnings during the last year
are variously estimated, bat on any reck-
oning his capital has been rolling up
like u SNOWFALL. The New York Pub
lie SAYS that year ago he sold 100000
shares of Union Pacific for about ST.
100000. Then he bought controlling
interest in Kansas Pacific, which was at
II. for about 100000, and in the next
six months the stock rose to 90, netting
$4,O00,000. Wabash was at Is when
Gould bought, men say, two thirds Of
the stock, and it rose later to 62I. His
profits on the consolidation of the st.
Louis Northern (Which he bought at 7 J,
and saw rise to47) and Wabash are put at
$4,S50,000. In all, by spending about
$3,5C0,000 for stocks, Gould has netted
$ll,000,000, ii, an important if, he were
to sell out. Meanwhile he can borrow on
hisholdings Two orthreo times the amount
of his original capital. The question in
Wall street now is how much Could ex-
poets to make on his Central stock, Of
which he has nc least $4,000 shares.

There is much lack of information
about the true status of the Geneva
award affair. The New York Tribune
puts the case in nutshell as follows {:
Ten millions of dollars remain of
the award after the claimants admit
ted by the law providing for the dis
tribution have been paid off. Three
classes of persons lay claim to this
surplus-first, the insurance compa-
MES, who want to be reimbursed for
their losses; second, the shippers who
paid war premiums, and now de-
'Tn9nd the return of the amounts the
companies charged them for extra
risks; and third, the owners of shiDs
and cargoes destroyed by the rebel
cruisers whose devastatiOns were ex-
cluded from the amount made up
by the Geneva Conference. The lat
ter class is generally admitted to
have valid claim in equity; the
demand of the insurance companies
is opposed on the ground that they
got back their losses in the shape of
increased premiums and that of the
people who paid the war premiums
is resisted because they are believed
to have reimbursed themselves by
putting an additional percentage Of
profit upon the goods they imported.

THE PENNSYLVANIA BRIBERY
CASES. Mr.. William III. Kemble
and his associates, who were convic-
ted some months ago of an attempt
to bride the Legislature of Pennsyl-
vania to pass the four million riot
damage bill, have found that the
"way of the transgressor is hard"
The first thing some Of them did af-
ter conviction was to Jump" their
bail, and either go into hiding or be-
take themselves out of the State.
Upon sober second thought, or for
some other reasons, they subsequent
ly concluded to return and surrender
themselves. Monday they appeared
before Judge Pearson, at Harrisburg,
for sentence. They got a heavier
one than they probably expected.
Each of the five was sentenced to pay
a fine of one thousand dollars and to
be imprisoned for one year at hard
labor in the Eastern penitentiary. A
few more such sentences as these
will tend to improve very materially
the moral atmosphere Of the Penn~
sylvania Legislature, and operate as
warning to the politicians who
have SO often tainted it.

The recent tragedy at San Francis
CO, in which Charles De Young,
editor of the Chronicle, was shot to
death by 1. M. Kalloch, son of the
mayor of the city, has ELECTED com
mon sentiment of horror at deed
so atrocious. IT has also led to a
decided depreciation of that style of
personal journalism which has gener-
ally extinguished itself by it's own
violence wherever it has appeared,
but which reappears now and then,
and here and there, to vex, alarm
and disgust peaceabie communities.
Coupled with sand-lot oratory the
journalism of violence would beeven
more mischievous in its tendencies,
and hence, perhaps, a redeeming fea-
ture of each of these elements of dis
cord in San Francisco lay in the fact
that it assailed the other. Certainly
the one has been well-nigh demolish-
ed by the combined agencies of the
press, public sentiment and the attri-
ton of its own excesses. The other,
by placing personal vituperation in
advance of all considerations of prop
erty and public good, lent a weapon
to its enemies. found its usefulness
impaired and its career placed in
peril. The bloody elimination of the
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1880-05-01

feud thus engendered bears its own
best commentary. Happily for San
Francisco it has involved none other
than the chief actors in the bitter
personal controversy from which ii
sprung. 1t is truly unfortunate, at
this day and in this county, where
freedom should inspire and intelli.
gence direct all who seek to be lead
ers or teachers of men, that the the>
DRY and practice of violence should
find exponents on the rostrum and in
the sanctum. But then the sphere Of
such heroics is nowhere very broad,
and its appearance may be said to be
sporadic, as one might speak of a
disease.

benefit of the people; urged a reform
in the practices and abuses openly
existing in the Maryland legislature,
whereby large number of persons
performing little or no service to the
State are compensated ; the taxation
of mortgages. and all property and
money equally. The following reso-
lutions were adopted:

Se,n6led, That we do hereby most
emphatically condem the action of
the Democratic party in the recent
legislature in that they have violated
their solemn pledges of reform and
retrenchment and shamefully disre-
gard and set aside the known and
expressed wishes of the people.
ReSolUed, That we are religiously
opposed, and do hereby denounce,
the immoral example set before the
people by their representatives of
broken promises, Violated faith and
hydra-headed deception.
ResolUed, That we urge upon the
taxpayers of the entire State to take
such action as to them may seem best
to hold up to public condemnation
the work of these unfaithful servants.
