During his recent stay at Enporia,
Kansas, Gen. Grant had something to
say about his position in the Chicago
convention. He plainly intiiuated that
though unfamiliar with the workings
Of party machinery and in no sense
politician, he had been led to believe
that his nomination WIS not only pos
sihle bat probable, AMI that he rather
expected it. but on serious reflection
some time before, had almost deter
mined to announce his peremptory
withdrawal as a candidate because he
saw and appreciated the objections of
many to Il third term. His conhden
til advisers, however, insisted that he
should not, and rs it has since proved,
greatly exaggerated TO him his chances
of success. Grant seemed to feel CRATE
fll to those who stood by him, but
could not conced his thorough disgust
for those who had SO recklessly miscal-
culat,l his position and overestimated
his strength.

Col. John Day, assistant secretary,
denies the report that this govern
ment was satisfied with the Spanish
explanation of firing upon our yes
sells. This government holds that the
statements Of the captains and crews
of the fruiters fred upon are more
worthy Of belief than assurances of
the Spanish government, and !: these
statements are backed by aflidavits,
reparation will be demanded in spite
of the declarations OF Spanish au-
thorities. They have sent to Phila-
delphia for these atiidavit>. and eX-
pect the captains will send them in
support of their statements as to the
firing and the distance they were
from shore. If 1t is established IN
this way that the vessels were over
one league from shore when the event
occurred, Spain must make the
amends honorable.

SLAMS, and the rest-either as exclaiming,
90 wretched man that l am who shall
deliver me from this body of death?" or,
as In view of tribulation, nakedness,
and the sword giving rein to that ex-
ultant burst of Christian steadfastness,
-" Who shall separate us from the love of
Christ?'--are experienced after him
by the fathers" who succeeded-by
the Clements, the Polycarps, the JUS
tins, the Tertullians-and in later age
by the Augustines, the Jeromes, the Am
broses, the Chrysostoms, the Bernards,
the A Kempises. And so again by Lu-
Their, and Calvin, and Bunyan, and Owen,
and Pascal, and Wesley, and Jeremy
Taylor, and John Newton, and Foster,
and Chalmers, and Faraday.
This Christian, Experience, we say, is a
distinctive mark Of the religion of the
Bible, and has been common to the be-
levers in this religion throughout the
history Of the Church in all ages and in
all countries. If it is delusive expe-
rience, it has deceived great cloud of
witnesses and many of the subjects Of it
have been among the most gifted spirits
that have appeared in the world, and
have constituted the highest examples of
integrity and virtue that figure in his
tory If it is delusion, it possesses the
power to make the most faithful parents,
the most devoted friends, the best citi-
zens, the greatest public henefactors, that
human society has ever known If it is
a delusion, it has elevated the standard
of morals, has developed the sentiment
of true humanity, has created in those
who professed it holiness of character
and a regard for the welfare of others
which had no existence among the races
of mankind prior to the advent of Christ
If it is delusion it has deceived tens Of
thousands Of able and true-hearted men
and has produced solid results which
have never been produced in any other
| way.

DA Y OF PRA YER FOR MIS-
$40 MS

1t will be remembered that the last
General Assembly appointed the last
Wednesday in October (the 9th inst,
as day of special prayer for the cause
of Foreign Missions-frst, for the out
pouring of the Holy Spirit upon the mis-
sionary work itself, and, secondly, upon
the churches, that they may be aroused
to full sense of their duties and respon-
sibilities in this matter.
Never before was there such call for
work in the foreign field Never before
were such opportunities. The whole
world now is alive to the claims of Chris
tianity. Thousands are turning from pa
ganism to the Gross.
But what can mere human effort &C
complish? What is needed is the Spirit
of Coda Pentecostal effusion.
A circular from the office of Foreign
Missions, says:
"Let there be earnest prayer for the
outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon all
our churches, that they may be thorough
ly aroused to a sense of their obligations,
both to the great Redeemer and to per-
ishing heather world. Let every pro-
fessed disciple of Christ determine on this
day of prayer what he or she can do, and
do it. Then there will be gladness and
no more lamentation in all our borders. {"

THE JEsUITs seem to excite terror in
all countries. Expelled from France,
many of them sought refuge in Italy.
But already the Italian Government
is taking steps to enforce the laws
OF 1873 against them, which hither-
to have been dead letter. 1t is not
very complimentary to the reputation
of Romanism, that it's priests should be
viewed even in Catholic countries with
such repugnance and fears. Jesuitism,
we know, is the very aroma and cream
Of Romanism.

The eminent Broad Ohurchman, Rev.
Stopford Brooke, has resigned He had
reached the conclusion that miracles are
incredible, and accordingly deemed it his
duty to withdraw from the Church Of
England. Mr.. Matthew Arnold, fire.
quent attendant at Bedford chapel on
Mr.. Brooke's preaching, is going to write
an essay to show that there is no incon-
sistency in ones remaining in the Church
and denying at the same time the posi-
bility of miracles We think Mr.. Arnold
is still communicate. But are not
Bishop Colenso and Dean Stanley? Mr.
Brooke has taken the manly course
Such persons ought to leave Church
which holds the Thirty-nine Articles,
and if they do not leave, the Church
ought to move.

OUR readers must not make the mis-
take of supposing the Protestant move
ment in France to be essentially reli-
gious movement. There is hopeful re-
igious awakening connected with it, but
primarily and mainly the movement is
political, and rather anti-Catholic than
Protestant. The Catholic population.
which is very powerful in France, is mon
archical in sentiment. OF course. The
Republicans are therefore hostile to the
Roman Catholic Church The value of the
movement at present is this that there is
free discussion and enquiry, and for the
first time fair, open field in France, and
that the people listen to the preaching Of
the gospel. This is great point gained.
Even in the Protestant Church of France
there is a great deal Of rationalism, and
of the old Scotch noderatism." The
Protestant clergy of France at present
receive a stipend from the Government,
and the great body Of them are unwill-
ing to give this up so they oppose dis
establishment.
But no such opportunity has occurred
since the Reformation, and the present is
the suspicious moment to help the true
Protestants Of France It is a noble field
for evangelistic work
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1880-10-20

The LEvITY of mankind is the most
astonishing thing in the universe.
If one were merely an outsider, and
should be informed of the facts, he would
not believe them; that race of rational
beings, whose average duration of life is
80 years, should spend the time fishing,
when they were expressly told that If
they did so, it would cost them their souls.
Why do not some of our Philosophers ex-
plain this phenomenon
Men behave exactly like children; and
yet they seem to have good minds, and
clear perceptions.
Indeed, you will see an old man Of
seventy years just as much interested in
politics or in the stock market as if he
had deed for thousand years.
You will see man dying of consump.
ton going to the opera and the assembly
balls with just as much zest and with all
the levity of a perfectly healthy person
There must be some reason for it the
intellect must be unsound the attribute
of man which we call reason must have
received some wound.

The Torn sca1p-slov Rut sure.

Lucy Osborn, who had her scalp torn from her head by getting her hair caught in a revolving shaft in button factory at New Milford six years ago, is still an inmate of St. Luke's Hospital in New York. During the six years, the doctors have been grating on new scalp by slow process, and the op- eration as a whole has been successful The material for building the scalp has been fur nished by hundreds of volunteers and over 14, ,OOO different pieces have entered into it's construction. In the accident in which she was injured, the scalp was taken clean of, the skin being peeled from the bone and talk ing with it piece of the integument of the right ear. The process of inducing the scalp to grow is a slow and tedious one, and out of $50 gratis which had been planted up to May l, 1875, but 40 had taken. In 1877, grating ceased for a time and the head was strapped with adhesive plaster to draw together the newly formed skin, which appeared in patch es over the head. The patient was discharged as improved July 1, 1876, but returned in the following September. She then had two un- covered spots on her head, the larger four and one-half inches long. More grafting was done, nearly covering these spots and the patient again went home. During the present month, she returned with two ulcers on the back of her head, and is again undergoing the grating treatment.

 On Saturday afternoon Mrs. Herschel " Ransom, wife of MT. Ransom of the firm of Barker & Ransom, was driving from Savin Rock to the city, and in turning Wards cor ner in West Haven the wheel of the carriage caught in the horse car track and she was thrown out. In fallings he broke her left arm between the elbow and wrist The horse, although very fast, is kind and gentle and when Mrs. Ransom was thrown out he stopped quickly and waited for her. On reaching home Dr. Frank Whittemore was called, and he set the broken arm. Mrs Ransom was able to be about yesterday, and it is cause for congratulation that she was not more seriously injured.
