Missionary Address.
On Friday evening, 22d inst, Mrs.
Layyah Barakat, native of Syria, will
address meeting to be held in the Pres
byterian Church in this city, under the
auspices of the 0gilvie Mission Band.
This lady is missionary teacher in the
East, and is refugee from Alexandria,
Egypt, from whence she was obliged to
flee, with her husband and child, during
the terrible massacre that took place in
that city last Summer, at the commence
ment of the Egyptian war. Coming by
the way of France and England, they
reached this country, arriving In Phila-
delphia. Her story told in very good
English for one whose native tongue is
Arabic, is thrilling one, and her de-
scription of manners and customs in
Palestine and the East exceedingly in
teresting. This is rare opportunity for
our citizens, az it is seldom that native
of these far off lands appears among us.
All are invited, and it is hoped that both
old young, who can do so, will endeavor
to be present next Friday evening and
enjoy an hour of entertainment and in
struction. %.x

Nervousness in America.

Men prematurely bald, old, unable
to carry their own liquor" and anxious
beyond their face years are getting con-
spicuously common In America. The
slow, sententious Yankee of the stage is
becoming rare in the cities, and the cool
individual who offers the suspicious
stranger a cigar light stuck in the muz-
zle of a revolver, is happily confined to
Deadwood Creek or Cough Eye Gulch.
The women are more lovely than ever.
Their faces are the faces of angels
chiseled in marble ; but the pallor is
unhealthy, and the liveliness of the
American girl is, to a great extent, in
cipient disease. It is, like their beauty,
part of that nervousness which is afhict-
ing their race. Their minds are un-
troubled by the cares of housekeeping,
for most of them live in hotels or board
ing houses. In Europe they contract
In marriages. But they soon fade, and
while the English matron, and even her
sister of Canada, who leads much the
same kind of life is still in her prime,
the once beautiful American is often a
lean, hysterical haunter of health re-
sorts. The future is not a pleasant
prospect. As men of leisure depart

to see what they are to do with their
money. There is a limit to the number
OF greenbacks which a people can spend
On a house, and ever q modest fortune
is cumbersome to carry about in dia-
monds and watch chains. They can, of
course, always go to Paris, but a Tuileries
American, as this hybrid Gaul used to
be called in Napoleonic days, ceases to
be an American, while if he stays at
home, it is hard to see how the rich
average republican is to spend his money
in any other way than that which has
produced, and is increasing the nervous
ness of his race. Competitive examira-
lions, which will, in time, add their
worry to the endless voting and electing
of the present time, are calculated to
intensity the trouble. But for long the
evil will not be much noticed. The
country will be fertilized by a continu-
Gus stream of fresh-faced, simple-lived
e~migrants from "used-up Europe"
These will mingle with the humber ma
tives, and since the true-born Yankee of
New England, and the "fust family"
Americans of the South are notorious
for the fewness of their children, will
keep up the population of the United
States. Meantime, the learned folks,
without the fear of patriotic papers be-
fore their eyes, will affirm that the
European is not naturalized in the new
world. At best he is a nervous edition
of the gallant from which he sprang, and
were it not for the new blood that is re-
cruiting his jaded life, would dwindle
away and become extinct.-London

Rochester.

No name in Britain, however, Ii more
interesting than that of Rochester,
which admirably shows us how SO many
other Roman names have acquired q de-
lusively English form, or have been mis-
taken for memorials of the English con-
quest. The Roman town was known as
Durobriv@, which does not in the least
resemble Rochester, and, what is more,
B@da distinctly tells us that Justus, the
first Bishop of the West Kentish See.
was c~onsecrated sin the city of Doru-
brew, which the English call Hrofas
coaster, from one of its former masters,
by name Hrof." If this were all we
knew about it, we should be told that
Bada clearly described the town as be-
ing called Hrof's chester, from an English
conquerer Hrof, and that to contradict
this clear statement of an early writer.
was presumptuous or absurd. Fortu4
nately, however, we have the clearest
possible proof that Hrof never existed,
and that he wal a pure creation OF B@da's
own simple genealogical ~guesswork.
King Alfred clearly knew better, for he
omitted this wild derivation from his
English translation. The valuable frag-
ment of a map of Roman Britain pre-
served for use in the medieval transcript
known as the "Peutinger Tables" sets
down Rochester as Rotibis. Hence it is
pretty certain that it must have had two
alternative names, of which the other.

pass ION the regular ~analogies) into
Rotif coaster, and hat again into Hrofi
coaster and Rochester; just as Rhutupi@
or Ritup@ passed into Rituf burh, and
so finally into Marlborough. Moreover,
in q character OF King Hthelbert, of.
Kent, older a good deal than Bada's
time, we find the town described under
the mixed form of Hrof-brevi. After
such o certain instance of pathological
laundering as this, I for one am not in
clined to place great faith in statements
as that made by the English Chronicle
about Chichester, which it attributes to
the mythical South Saxon King Cissa.
Whatever C-issanceaster may mean, it
seems to me much more likely that it
represents another case of double nam
ing; for though the Roman town was
commonly known as Regnum, that is
clearly q mere administrative form,
derived from the tribal name of the
Regni. Considering that the same
veracious Chronicle derives Portsmouth,
the Roman Portus, from al imaginary
Teutonic invader, Port, and commits it
self to other wild statements of the same
sort, I don't think we need greatly
hesitate about rejecting its authority in
these earlier and conjectural portions

Whipping a Bloch.

From a governing aspect the Bloch
is infinitely to be preferred to the
Afghan. Though physically in bulk
and weight of body, he is the Afghan's
equal In courage, and his superior In
endurance and intelligence. One
specially good trait IN his character is,
that he never sulks or bears malic long,
whereas the Afghan does both. Here
are illustrations in point. I never re-
member having an Afghan whipped in
jail without the fellow showing by his
sullen looks and scowling facs that he
bore the striker, if not myself, a grudge
for it. But here, in the Derah Ghazi
Khan Jail, the punishment over, the
Bloch is as frank and pleasant as he
was before. One man, / remember,
who was in as a bad character, would
not work. He was warned that he would
be whipped. He merely laughed, and
said, "That won't make any difference,
sahib." He wa shown a man being
whipped he only looked grave. Finally
he was whipped himself. He was taken
out of his cell, stripped naked, tied
wrists and ankles to the triangle and
given twenty OF thirty-I forget the
exact number-strokes with a rattan.
During the operation he bit at the wood,
bit almost through his tongue, but never
either groaned or WINGED. The punish
ment over, he threw himself on the
ground on his face, when the usual skin
of cold water was dashed over him, and
then the commiserating water-carrier
stood upon the beaten parts to deaden
the pain. Still he would not work. I
saw him a day or two after in his cell,
looking happy and u~nconcerned, though
he still must have been very sore, and
for days would not be able to sit down.
He was pleased to see me. He seemed
to have an idea that, not being in jail
for any specific and proved offense, it
and SO put him on the level of q o n
victed felon. demonstrated with him
for his obstinacy, to no effect.
One day I observed his splendid curls
shining with oil or ghee. I asked him
how he had got il. He had saved it
from his food, was his answer. cut his
ghee ; still no effect. AT last, as his ex-
ample was becoming infectious, I warned
him that if he. would not work I should
have him transferred to the Multan
Jail, where I believed his Absolom-like
hair would be cut short. That threat
frightened him-his ringlets being the
glory of the Bloch ; he said he would
try to do work. He made a pretense OF
trying, and failing, was sent off to Null.
tan, where, I have no doubt he is now,
though pri~son-cropped, as smiling and
light-hearted a do-nothing as he was
here. Now it is not in the Afghan
nature to behave as that Bloch did, and
and that Biloch's case is typical Of
others. Similarity circumstanced the
Afghan would have sulked, worked,
fallen i'll from frettipg and some day
after his release, perhaps, killed the
human instrument who had beaten him.
I have known that to happen in Bannu
