The negotiations between China and Russia,
which have been pending for many months,
have been brought to satisfactory issue. The
whole and not part of Kuldja, as before, is
given back to the Chinese Government, and
only small section of III is retained by the
Czar and for this additional concession sub
stantial amount is added to the price named in
the former treaty. When the Russian troops
entered Kuldja in 1871 the Gar pledged him
self to restore the province if China should
ever be strong enough to return to Central Asia
and reoccupy the ground which had been lost
The conquest of Kashgar brought victorious
Chinese General on the borders of the debated
territory, and the Car was asked to keep his
word and give up Kuldja. This had proved a
prov ince OF considerable vaue. and under Rus
sian administration its prosperity bad in
creased. and accordingly a heavy demand was
made for compen satOn. This was granted,
and the Treaty of Livadia was concluded. This
treaty was subsequently revoked by the Princes
of the blood who had succeeded in displacing
Temporarily at Pekin Hung Chang, the great
General hose political ascendancy had been
maintained from the time of the Taepings Re-
belliOn. The retrocessiOn OF Iii was made an
ultimatum, and a Chinese army mcnaced the
Russian frontier. Hung Chang regained his
prestige by inviting General Gordon to visit
Pekin, but the Peace party in returning to
power took up the demands of the War party,
and enforced them at st. Petersburg. There
have been months of prOcrastination, but those
standard Chinese virtues. persistency and pa
tlence, have finally tIiumphed. The greater
part of the GOV eted province OF Iii is restored.
The dispatch announcing the signing of lew
treaty is meagre. 1t will be interesting to learn
whether Russia retains enough territory to ex-
cite jealousy and Suspicion, and whether the
price demanded was exorbitant.

A distressing case of hydrophobia is reported
from Summit. A bright lad was attacked six
weeks ago by his fathers hunting dog, and
bitten in the cheek. 1t was not serious
wound-scarcely more than scratch-and it
was not cauterized until the next day. The scar
disappeared, and the incident had been aireany
forgotten when the poor little teilow was
taken i'll last Tuesday. The case ended fa'aiiy
OH Friday after all the usual symptoms Oh
hydrophobia. Imagination could have had
nothing to do with the final result, for ten
years old child Would not have realized his dan
ger Dor fallen q victim to morbid fear. He re-
sumed his play as usual, with mind free from
care, but the blood-poisoning went on all the
same.

The differences of opinion among the we'll
known clergymen whose views upon lotteries in
church fairs are stated elsewhere make II
curious contrast. They run all the way from
the sincere and jealous preacher who regards
the business of selling chances fol the benefit
of orphans as almost equivalent to gambling
to the equally jealous and sincere clergyman
who thinks there is nothing intrnslcally i'm
moral in ordinary gambling, if honestly CON
Quoted. One suggestion is made. which 30 one
will galnsay-that the police should he impair
tial in suppressing lotteries and gambling Of all
kinds. To see the heavy hand of the law
stretched out to stop the rafting OF idcalized
wOrsted work or impossible fancy slippers to
bring money iniO the treasures of hospitals and
asylums, while the great public lotteries go on
openly with their fraudulent and dem0falizng
traffic, and gambling saloons and worse places
of resort still continue to swallow up their vic
tins, suggests that well-worn comparison of
the straining at the gnat and the easy degluti-
ton of the camel.

The rumor that Mr.. Gladstone is to take a
peerage is again revived, and pro badly by those
who are anxious to get him out of the Com
mons, where he exercises so potent an influence
every time he takes part in a debate We do
not believe that he will leave House where he
has the majority with him and take refuge with
the Peers, where the Opposition will outnum-
Der him four or five to one. In any event he

for that is already appropriated by an Irish
peer, Viscount Hawarden.
Whether placed to the best advantage OF
rot, the ObelIsk is at any rate great addi-
ton to the treasures of New York, and all
who were concerned in securing it deserve to
be remembered with public gratitude. We
believe it is Mr.. VIM. Henry Hurlbert whom
the city has to thank for the actual procure
ment of the gift from the Khedive. Mr..
Evarts lent his cordial assistance, MIR. Wander
bilt furnished the money, and Captain Cor
Tinge undertook the long and difficult work of
removal, which was yesterday brought to
successful completion.
Last year 1t was plan for biennial sessions

ont his career Prince Bismarck has been the
ayowed enemy of Parliamentary institutions
His great services to the cause of National unity
have blinded bis countrymen to the short
comings of his political system. His highest
conception Of Parliament is that Of an un-
necessary body of legislators which the people
might elect, If it amused them. but which
must be managed entirely by himself.
In this respect his policy has been the reverse
of Cavours. The Italian statesmen would
not take single step in any direction unless

The vicissitudes of religious eclecticism are
always interesting. In the local columns is a
brief chronicle of tho adventures of travel
ling pedagOgue, who in the course OF eleven
years has been Roman Catholic, Presby-
terrain, an Episcopalian, Lutheran. Quaker
and Methodist, adapting himself with sur
prlsing facility to the social conditions and
religious preferences of any community where
he could get employment. He either lacked
persstency, or was not we'll versed in the re-
ligious divisions of Christendonl, for with a
large number of ecclesiastical openings before
him, be suddenly lost interest in serious
things, and showed no discrimination what
ever in his religious associations, Becoming
either watery non-sectarian or a monoto-
nous and homogeneous pagan. The collapse
of his fortunes followed as matter of course.
Society frowned upon him school committees
dismissed him; he was forced to become Il
tramp.

THE WESLEYAN FEMALE CoLIEeE

THE WESLEYAN FEMALE CoLLEaE
CoMMENoEmENT last night was very
decided success. 1t has been several
years since SO much interest has been
shewn in tho closing exercises of that
old and most excellent institution.
The immense crowd that filled tue
Grand Opera House on this occasion
showed plainly enough the value
which our people place upon the in
stitution, and signified an intention to
give to the College greater aid and en-,
couragement in the future. We are
sure we cannot too strongly urge its
claim upon our people. The rates are
more reasonable than the rates OF
most Seminaries, aud The advantages
are very decidedly greater, and the
people of the Peninsula and adjoining
States should avail themselves thereof.
The location is most desirable in every
respect, and it may be mentioned as a
remarkable fact that not case Of sick
ness or disease has occurred in the
Wesleyan during the whole of the
past term.
