Progress of Christianity,

The Rev. Dr. Dorchester delivered an address in Wesleyan Hall, Boston, on the progress of Christianity in the whole worll, since 1900. Until the present century, says the lecturer, there was no trustworthy data of the worlds popula- ton. Prior to 1880, it was variously estimated from GAP, ,COO,O0O to 737, ,OOO,- GOO. In 1850 it was reckoned at 1,000,000,000. Prof. Schem's estimate makes the present population 1,437,- 100000 The progress of Christianity from the fourth or fifth century up to 1900 was confined almost entirely to Europe. The nominal Christians in the world in the third century numbered G,000, GOO up tothe eighth century they bad increased 30,000,0 900; in the tenth century, 50,0O0,000; in the fifteenth century, 100,000,000; in the last 300 years the increase has been 200, 000, 900, or as much as in the previous fifteen centuries. In 1880, there were 410.- 900, ,000 nominal Christians. In 1900 'hers were S0,000,000 Catholics, 20, ,0O0,- 900 Greek Christians and no Protest ant' in 1890, 116,0O0, 900 Roman Cath nlirs, TQ,000, GC0 Greek Christians and i2,OO0,000 Protestants; in 1880, the respective numbers were 209,000,0O0 s8,O0o,000 and 1l3,000, GOO, showing an increase of 80 per cent. umong the Papists, 26 per cent. in the Greek church and l7G among the Protestants. The probable number of nominal Christ ians iu tho world in tho year 2000 was estimated by Dr. Dorchester at from l.200, 000,000 to l, ,950, ,000,000 The pop ulations living under Christian Govern mcnts in 1500numbered 100, GOO, 900; in l700, 155, ,000 GOO; 1880, 38S, S,O0O,0O 1876, 5000, ,000, divided as follows: Papal, S0,000,000 in 1500, 90,000, GOO in t7O0, 134, 900, 900 in 1880, 1Sl ,000, 900 in 1876; Greek, 10000, 000in 150O, B, ,0O0,- 000 in TOO, 60 GOO, GOO in 1880, 96, 0OO,- 900 in 1876; Protestant, none in 1900, 32, 2,000,000 in l700, 94,000, coo in 1880, 40S, ,000, 900 in 1876. Of the 52,000,000 square miles of the earth's surface, 32,- 900, 900 are under the control of Christi ian governments and 20,000,000 under Pagan and Mohammedan. Of the area under Christian domination 15, 800, 900 square miles are ruled by Protestant governments, 9,500, 900 by Roman Cath ollc ana o,oUU,UuU DY the Gfeek cnurch. In 1900 the Bible was printed in one- fifth of the languages of the world; it is now printed in nine-tenths. Three mill ion Bibles had been printed in 1S00; 160,000,000 in from 200 to 250 languages and dialects have since been circulated. In the Sunday-schools in 1880 there were 100000 officers, teachers and scholars; there are now over 14,000,000. In the Protestant foreign missions in 1830there were 70,2S9 communicants; in 1850, 210,95 in 1880, S57, ,332. Adding those at missions not reporting the aggregate would probably be 1,050, 1000 communi- cants and 2.500, GOO hearers or adherents. Of the 857, ,332 communicants C63, ,S13 were formerly Pagan, and 193, 449 Papal, Jewish or Rationalistic.

That Pie.

"I will thank you for that pie" said fellow boarder. "I was thinking who was King of England when this old pie was baked, and 1t made me feel bad to know how long he has been dead"
 Our landlady is @ decent body, poor, and widow, of course; celo va sons dire. She told me her story once there was the wooing and the wedding. the start in life, the disappointment, the children she had buried, the dismantling of life; first of its luxuries, then of it's comforts, the altered character of one on whom she had leaned, and at last the death that drew the black curtain be- tween her and all earthly hopes.
 l never laughed at my landlady, but often cried, not those pattering tears that run off the leaves, but those which steal noiselessly through their conduits nntil they reach the cisterns lying round the heart, such I shed for her when tho imps of the clearinghouse inferno rugged at her soul with their red-hot pincers.

Cotton Manufacturing in the South.

Probably the one great industry in which the Southern man takes most in- terest, however, is the raising and manu- facture of cotton. This is the royal plant that was the glory and wealth of the South in the past, and that is, no doubt, destined to work out its financial salvation in the future. By all the signs of the times, King Cotton has come to his own again. proiitableis the cotton manufacturing business that in certain sections Northern capital goes begging, the home corporations having become wealthy enough to carry on the busi- ness. The culture of cotton is resumed, but with difference. Instead of merely raising and selling the raw material Southern men see tue policy of manU- iacturing, both for home use and export. They are filling their mills with the bet Lowell-made machinery, and arc already producing goods of excellent quality. They perceive the bad. management of sending the raw fiber to New Englaud to be manufactured and then buying it back. The day is not far distant when the fines; fabrics VII be manufactured in tue South, and, in the meantime, the demand for what they already produce is so great that the miiis have orders for all they can furnish fer months to cone. -- IF0ShiR9tON Post

A Sad Story of a Wrecked Life.

The most thrilling and sadly sugges- tive temperance lecture Is the sight of once noble, talented man, left in ruins by intoxicating drink. A Washington paper tells of ragged beggar, welt known Tn the streets of that city, who once held an important command in the army, having been promoted for personal bravery, from a cavalry Lieutenant to nearly the highest rank in military ser. vice. One night, not long ago, when he had been too successful in begging liquor to sate his craving, and whil, lying helpl ssly drunk in the rear part of a Third street saloon, some men thought to play joke on him by steal ing his shirt, and proceeded to strip him.
 Underneath his shirt, and suspended by string from his neck, was small canvas bag, which the men opened and found 1t contained his commission as Brevet Major Genaral, two congratu- latory letters-one from Gen. Grant and oue from President Lincoln--a photo gTaph of little girl, and curl of hair ---a "chestnut shadow" that doubtless one day crept over the brow of some IoNeu one.
 When these things were discovered, even the half-drunken men who founu them felt respect for the mans for mer greatness, and pity for his fallen condition, and quietly returned the bag and its contents to where they found them, and replaced the sleeper's clothes upon him.
 When reporter tried to interview the man, and endeavored to learn something ot his life in the past few years, he de- ciued to communicate anytking.
 He cried like child when told how his right name and former position were ascertmned, and, with tears trickling down his cheeks, said :
 For Gods sake, sir, don't publish my degradation, or my name, at least, if you are determined to say something about it. It is enough that I know my self how low have become. Will you promise that much? It will do no good, Dut will do my friends a great deal oi harm, as, unfortunately, they think died in South America, where I went at the close of the war;"
 Intemperance and the gaming-table, he said, had wrought his ruin.

BrOMbeating Witnesses.

The law is charitable. It presumes that all men will do their duty, and it holds every man innocent of an alleged crime until he has been proved guilty. Lawyers, on the contrary, arc inclined to be uncharitable, especially toward witnesses who testify against their eli ents.
 Though they have sworn "to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, ," the opposing counsel usually takes it for granted that they will go as near committing perjury as their fears will permit.
 Doubtless, there is much to be said in justification of the lawyers course. They see much of the preyarication of witnesses, and many attempts to con ceal one fact, or to exaggerate another. It is not strange, therefore, that they should doubt the truthfulness of any witness, when interested in cause. and majority of witnesses are partsans.
 Their skepticism is often made oflen- sively prominent in 8 cross-examination The lawyers manner says, "You have sworn to lie and know it, and the jury shall know it, too, before I'm done with you"
 Then he puts series of questions for the purpose of disconcerting the wit ness, so that he may contradict himself and thus spoil his evidence. If the questions fail to effect the purpose. then they are reinforced by browbeating.
 Daniel Webster once tried this method upon clergyman's wife, Mrs. Green- ough, of Newton, Mass, sclf-possessed and majestic-loolling woman.
 The question before the court was that of Mrs. Badgers soundness of mind, she having mado a will during Ter last sickness. Mir. Webster, who had been retained by those who Nero trying to break the will, saw that the testimony of Mrs. Greenough, she being witness for the opposite side, would have great weight with the jury. He reasoned, therefore, to spoil her evidence if he could.
 He began his cross-examination by putting certain question, which Mrs, Greenough commenced 10 answer by saying, 1T believe"-
 "We don't want to know what you be- lieve, madam" roared Webster; five want to hear what you know"
 "That was what I was about to say" replied Mrs. Greepough, going right on with clear answer to the question. A gain and again, MT. Webster, seeing the effect ot her evidence upon court and jury, tried to embarrass her.
 At length, irritated by his failure to rufle the self-possessed witness, he sprang to his feet, drew out his snuf-box, took pinch, and, holding a large ban dana handkerchief to his nose, blew soncrous blast.
 "NIrs. Greenough," he asked, while the report was vibrating, looking sharply at her, "was Mrs. Badger neat womon?"
 "I can't say as to that, sir; she had one very dirty trick"
 "What was that?"
 "She tool; snuff"

When They Died,

After meeting, he said to the negro, "Tom, what r~r p you doing in church ?" "Taking notes, massa; all de gemmeu take notes.
