Mr.. Asa Otis, of New Londony Connec.

of Gl50. 200, in March 1879, the American
Board OF Commissioners for Foreign Mis-
sions deemed il incumbent upon themgto

noses. it would be possible FOR them
70 take part in the civilization of

was read at the annual meeting OF THE Board
at Syracuse N. Y. on October the otly

of information respecting the interior OF
Africa. In considering where the MISSION
should be established, several regions were
suggested, as more Or less suitable. Ut.

scarcely wonder that some are inclin-

IS great a mistake as a reckless spirit
of innovation There is a golden
mean here as in everything else, and
it is easy to study new proposals on
a small scale while continuing the
main work Of the estate in the old
grooves. We have to deal in the
cane with a valuable sugar making
machine. The sugar itself, strange
to say, contains only air and water,
but the plant must be properly fed
to make it, and nobody will pretend
that he knows the best way of feeding
it. Some, according to Mr. Hage-
mann, leave the process entirely to a
bountiful Nature; but we are hardly
called on to exercise such a simple
faith and there is evidently plenty Of,

course we use the tile only 10 carry

by their bad agriculture, the present
unfortunate position Of the colony.
The defending counsel, while he
admits for them that their agriculture
has "grave defects" pleads that many
other causes have combined to produce
