Monthly Review.

We have letter from Mr.. Houston dated
Yokohama, Japan, the 10th of June, mentioning
that he and party had reached that place in
comfort and safety and were expecting to leave
tor Shanghal on the 10th of the same. From
Soochow our letters are dated as late as the 3Oth
OF May. All there were in good health and
spirits Mr. DuBose and family, with the con.
currence OF the committee, were expecting to
leave tor this country In July, for a temporary
soJourn here, for general recreation, and es-
pecially In the hope of recruiting the health of
their Oldest child who has been an invalid for
several years past Miss Stafford communicates
several interesting incidents connected with her
missionary labours. She conducts Bible class
for women, which she hopes is bearing rich
spiritual fruits. Mr.. and Mrs. Davis were re-
ported as being in good health, and were prose
cutting their work with their usual ZEAL
we have letter from Campinas to the 1st of
June, and one from Pernambuco to the 18th of
the same. Nothing of special interest is com,
munlcated IN the first, except that the mis-
sonaries were well, and were pursuing their
work as usual. Mr.. Wardlaw states, our con-
gregations are good, and we have some new
faces almost every night" A letter from Mr..
Boyle OF the 3lst of May states, a we are in our
usual health. The two churches of Moggy
Mlrim and Penha are in an encouraging con
dition"
We have letters from Matamoras to the 22d
OF June. We were sorry to learn that Mrs.
Halls health had been seriously impaired, and
that she was compelled to return to her native
home for medical aid and for the benefit of
mountain air.
From Greece we have intelligence to the 4th
Of June. Mr.. Sampson states, We are moving
along as usual In our work DIR. Kalopothakes es
has returned, after three weeks abesnce at the
Baths, improved. Mr.. Mercurius, who is uot
on an evangelistic colporteuring tour, writes

books" &c.-The Missionary

Col Robert G.. Ingersoll when on
the Platform caricaturing Christianity and
mlsrepresenting the Bible, by his wit and
olassphemy, can always bring down the house"
such as the one is to which he speaks. But
when he comes to express himself in type, whore
oufoonery and exaggeraton must be repressed
TO great extent, he appears to much less
advantage. Some enemy must have tempted
MIN to write an article on the Christian religion
to be reviewed by Hon. jeremiah S. Black in
the North american RccicO for August Even
the admirers of Col. Ingersoll must admit that
he cuts a sorry figure under the skilled and
heavy hand of Judge Black who nercilesslv
ing the present condition Of Christianity his
misunderstanding and Misrepresentation Of both
the Old and New Testaments his historical
mstakes-to give them no harsher names-and
the utter Inconsistencies of his reasoning. The
following quotation from the Merchant Of Venice
with which Judge Black starts out is an indica-
ton OF the estimate Of Col. Ingersol, which he
lBlack) leaves upon the mind of the reader.
"uratiano speaks an infinite deal of nothing, moro
than any man in all Venice his reasons are as
two grains of wheat hid in tw bushels Of chaf
you shall seek all day ere you find them ana
when you have them, they are not worth the
search. .'-Fresbytcrja Banner
We recently noticed the decease of
Rev. J. ! Bonner D D., editor Of the associate
Rgormed Iresbyterian and President Of the Due
West Female Seminary. At a meeting Of the
alumni Of that institution, steps were taken to
collect fund to be used in the erection of a
suitable monument to his memory. The unap.
nous action of the association showed the strong
hold he had upon the hearts of those who had
been under his instruction and training We
think this fitting tribute to a great and good
man.-Herald AMI PresJyter.

Spectroscopic Observations on the
Comet

In the visible portion of the spectrum the OBJ
Servatlons at Princeton, and we presume else
where also, have established the fact that, ID
his comet, at least the comet spectrum agrees
With the so-called first spectrum of carbon, OBJ
aimed from the flame of a Bunsen burner, and
not with the seco,.d which is given by a Geissler
lube, containing carbonic acid or some hydro,
arbon vapor.
So far as could be made out with dispersive
9ower of four heavy flint glass prisms Sufficient
divide + easily), the coincidence between the
bands OF the comet spectrum and those of the
lame spectrum was absolute; and this was con-
hrmed by careful measurements of the wave
lengths OF the principal band, compared with
the magnesium lines.
The discordance, on the other hand, between
he spectrum of the comet and that of the
teissler tubes was simply staring under the
nigh disperslve power, and was evident enough
with only one prism.
The brightest band Of the comet spectrum
was also seen by several different observers at
Frlnceton to be. marked with three fine, SHARP.
bright lines, coinciding very exactly with those
which are visible in the corresponding band of
the flame spectrum.
We thus have almost overpowering evidence
hat the gaseous substance of this comet is a
nydro-carbon and in molecular state, CORES
aondlng to that at the base of gas flame. 1t
IS not necessarily, however, at very high tenn
nerature since the experiments of Wiedemanu
Hasselberg, and others tend to show that, under
'ertaln circumstances. gases may become luInl-
nous and give their characteristic band spectra
at temperatures even below that of boiling
water.
1t is in interesting question whether this
7rst spectrum of carbon, which is usually OBJ
'ained from the blue light at the base of gas
lame, can also be produced by electric dis
charges in a rarefed medium.
1t is worth noting that when the comet was
brightest the bands and lines in the spectrum
though, of course brilliant and conspicuous)
were much less sharply defined than some days
alter. In fact, on June 25th and 26th the linn
is of the bands were so indefinite that no sat
sfactory measures were possible at Princeton.

ence among her ministry than in any
other body in the world. Not dependent
for living upon the people, they require
not to trim their sentiment for the popu-
lar ear. 1t is an independence capable of
the best results in the hands of an earnest
God-loviDg mam-it is an independence
of the most injurious character in those
OF an insincere man. Thus the Church
of England carries within her organiza-
tion the greatest rigidity in her ritual
and the largest liberty in her pulpit of
any sect in Christendom.

Few people outside of themedical pro-
fession know what death by pyemia, or
blood poisoning, with which the Presi-
dent is said to be afflicted, means. 1t is,
perhaps, the most horrible disease o
which man can die. Few survive after
being once afflicted with it. The flesh
literally rots from the bones, and when
dissolution comes the body is a mass of
the foulest corruption. 1t is mercy to
those attacked if this poison reaches vi
tai point at an early stage, for then they
are out of their misery speedily. The
suffering of the PATIENTS said to be most
agonizing, and men have prayed to those
about them to kill them at once rather
than to permit them to live in agony for
another hour. 1t is sincerely to be hoped
that the Presidents physicians are mis-
taken in their diagnosis of his present
condition. If they are correct, all hope
of recovery must be abandoned, for the
seal of death is already on his brow.

Western Union Telegraph Service.

Complaint having been made by the New
York produce exchange of the inadequacy of
telegraph facilities by the Western Union tele-
graph company for doing the western bust
ness, Vice President Eckert answers that the
facilities of the comnany are more than suf-
fcient for the prompt transaction of The ordi
nary business passing between the east and
the west, but that the delays occurring re.
Gently are due to three unavoidable causes, en-
tirely unforeseen and against which it was i'm
possible to make provision. First, the trans
mission of bulletins of the Presidents condi-
ton, equivalent in volume to 1900 coo mes
sages OF average length; second, destruction
of lines by forest fires, and third, an increase
in the commercial business between the
two sections largely in excess of the natural
growth, and amounting to more than so per
cent. The company is, however, he says, In
creasing it's facilities by the erection of 10000
miles Of new wire, which is being pushed
with all The energy possible, and that every
thing possible will be done to meet the de-
mands of the public upon it under any and all
emergencies,
