In retiring from the duties which
have occupied us during the last four
years. II gives us pleasure To thank
those whose courtesy and cooperation,
have made our labors, arduons Of ne
ceSsity, as light and agreeable as posi-
bic. In the direction of hospitality
received. our memory will ever revert
with deepest gratitude. To the teach
ers. with whom our relations have
been, from the nature of the work,
most intimate, we are under heavy
obligations, inasmuch, as to their zeal
and assistance, we owe whatever good,
/ If any, has been done, and if any thing
has not been done so poorly us it might
have been, they are largely to be
praised for what has been been saved.
| We leave the work to be judged by
those who know it, and who will, we
are sure, do it mercifuliy. We plead
merely an earnest and honest purpose,
to satisfy our own conscience. Our
| interest will not cease, with the close
of official life. We shall meet many
in other, but similar, callings. May
our intercourse be as pleasant as in
the past. We shall not fail to be
pleased when we hear good reports of
faithful service, by those we nave seen
grow from tyros, to something like
experts, and as body, win an envia-
BILE name. The friends and friend
ships We have known. on our part, at
least, we hope, on the part of others,
also, will not be forgotten, -ca4aaot
be,-while the burdens of life are upon
us, and kindest wishes and earnest

sAdons and the individuals we have
bought to benefit and encourage.

The Same Old Game.

The other afternoon the tools, imple-
ments, fixtures, appUrtenances and what
ever else belongs to the game of GRO
quet, were put in position on lawn up
Woodward Avenue, and as a young
lady and young man who seemed to
be her lover. took up the mallets to
start the balls, a bony-looking old tramp
halted and leaned on the fence and got
his mouth puckered up for something
good. The young man took the first
shot, and, before the ball ceased rolling,
the girls voice was heard calling:
"You didn't knock fair-you've got
to try it Overt" .....
Before either of them were half way
down she had occasion to remind him
that he wasn't playing with blind per-
son, and that she could overlook no
cheating. As she went under the last
arch he felt compelled to remark that
her playing would rule her out of any
club he ever heard Of On the way
back she asked him why he couldn't be
an honest man as well as jockey and
a falsitier, and he inquired why she
didn't write a set of rules to tally with
her style of playing.

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

The minimum salary now paid to
ministers in the English Presbyterian
Church IS 1000. In consequence, the
Synod receives many applications for
admission from other denominations.
The Rev. r. G. Moore. who has the
distinction of holding the poorest living
in England Chat of ST. James. Shipton),
which yielded Sl5 year. has died at
the age of 81. He held this living over
fifty years.
The English and American resi-
dents of Berlin have presented a testi-
monial 10 the Rev. Robert BellsOn. who
has been chaplain here for twenty-five
wears. but who is now compelled to re-
sign on acc cunt of his advanced age.
The income of the American Church
Missionary Society for the last year, if
not the largest in the history of the So
cietv, has never been surpassed or
equalled but once before. 1t amounted
to the magnificent sum of SI.lOS,6l5,
which was sufficient to carry ON the
great missions of the society and to pay
of the large deficiency which was ac-
cumulated during the two preceding
years.
The largest per cent. of the minis
try of all Protestant denominations in
this country in the foreign missionary
field comes from the Congregational
Church, which supplies 4.29 per cent.
of its own ministerial force. The Pres
byterian Church North supplies $50 per
cent. the Presbyterians South, 1.S3; the
Baptists of the North, 1.01; the Episco-
pal Church, O.57. 1t is stated that IF
the 9,14j ministers which the Southern
BaDtists have, only six are engaged in
foreign lands.

short time ago to consider plans for eel

tory of the schools, said the English
census of 1851 showed that 100000
teachers were engaged in the gratuitous
instruction of the young and that they
had a total OF los, 900 children in their
charge. This year the Sunday-schoOl
Union alone was able to report no fewer
than a million children within its organ
ization, while in addition there are to
be reckoned the children in schools be-
longing to the Wesleyan body and to
the Church of England.

japanese Fans.

A Japanese journal furnishes some
interesting Information respecting the
fabrication of fans. Here, as in many
other branches of industry, the principle
of the division of labor is vigorously OBJ
served. The bamboo sticks are pre-
pared by wOrkmen in their own homes,
while the incised ornaments of the lower
portion of the fan are confided to more
skillful hands, who dress the handles
according to the sketches given by the
designer. In the same way, the artist
gives to the engraver the motives which,
in his idea, will prevail the next season
and will insure ready sale. He it is
also who chooses the colOrs for the
pieces already cut out, as also the color
for each isolated detail, and, finally. the
different decorations for the back of the
fan. The paper made use of to in
sert the leaves of the fan is all Japan
ese; it is peculiarly suited for this
purpose so much so that an attempt
to employ foreign paper had to be
abandoned. The papers from America
were tred, but rejected; but experts
will tell one that the native paper used
in this branch of industry is much in
feriOr to that used in the past. Former
". when the country had no relations
with the outer world, the most expen-
sive fan made cost scarcely pound.
Since then, however, there have been
numerous commissions for much larger
sums. The current price of ordinary
fans is, for hundred, from fifty yen or
dollars to fifteen yen. The number of
fans furnished for the Philadelphia
Exhibition of 1876, on commission, was
no fewer than 100000, the price of
which was estimated at o,00o For
merly the fan trade rarely exceeded 10,-
600 articles yearly throughout the whole
country, but during the last twelve
months, though the date from which
this period commences is not stated by
our informant, there have been exported
nearly 5000, 900 of articles from Hiogo
and Yokohama. Highly appreciated as
are the products of Hiogo, those of
Toxic are by far the most esteemed,
not alone for their beauty, but for their
superior cheapness. - Cor. american

discourtesy to the President, and called for
the ayes and nays upon a motion by Mr.

and three or four bills passed. Mr.. Conkling

GENERALLY speaking, married man
Is considered more worthy of credit than
a bachelor, because unmarried men are
generally restless and often fall into bad
habits.
