GOTHAM COS SIP.

New YORK, MARCH 31.-That we
have had tolerable lively week here
you may well believe when tell YOU
that in addition to a vast amount of
church-going there has been new
plays, new operas, any number of re-
ceptions and general condition of
Observation-Disclosures in the markets.
Without entering into details, which
more properly fall in the line of your
financial and market writer's, I will
content myself with an expression of
general relief that "things is mixed"
But there's one class of men who
seem to be fortunate in marked de-
gree, and if they don't soon own all
the real estate on the island it won't
be for lack of money, but because
they have not faith in landed prop
erty. l refer to our florists. Solo
mon, in all his glory, never dreamed
of sending his girls such bouquets as
are now displayed everywhere. The
Queen of Sheba, in her most extra
VACANT hour, wouldn't have dared to
run up such flower bills as are COM
mon here. Ladies use flowers every
where and in amazing profusion. On
pleasant days Fifth Avenue is mob
of carriages and every carriage is a
garden. Huge punches of superb
roses ornament the ladies, dresses or
are held carelessly in the hand. In
the theatres this beautiful extrava-
gance is especially noticeable.
The wise ones say that we are to
have three colored policemen in May.
The Jersey Legislative bribery case
excites nearly as much interest here
as the Bradley-Sessions business did.

American Ladies.

The first impression Sara Bern
hardt received of the American ladies
manifested itself thusly :-"Oh! re
ladies, "a are so beautiful, such clear
complexion I nevare see before" all
of which is due to the universal use
of Swayne's Ointment for skin dis
eases. which insures clear and clean
complexion, and a healthy color.
This recalls to mind the divine pre-
cept cleanliness is next to Godli-
ness.

Instead of pageantry, we need a more
Jealous preaching of the gospel Instead
of splendid churches, we need more sim
pie structures filled with vocal praise.
Symbolic worship in an unknown tongue
must give place to the prayer meeting of
primitive times, and the imposing pro-
cession of robed ecclesiastics must be sub
stituted by earnest evangelists conveying
the word of life to perishing souls. We
want revived Church, intent upon its
great mission, not proud hierarchy seek
ing to perpetuate the absurdities of the
dark ages under the light of an advanced
civilization.
No reader of the New Testament can
fail to see the unlikeness of many Church
observances, yet prevailing, to the institu-
tions of Christ. No two objects could be
more dissimilar. And yet how many
calling themselves Christians cling to
these human inventions as if they were
sacred and divine

MRS. EVEL wv no USTON

A letter received two days ago brings to
us the sad intelligence of the death of Mrs.
Evelyn Houston, the wife of Rev. DIR. NJ.
Ell. Houston, missionary of the Southern
Presbyterian Church at Hangchow, Chi
ma. She died, after lingering illness,
on the 18th of October. Not only has a
great sorrow fallen upon her husband,
her family of four little children, her
aged parents, and her many friends in
this country, but the whole Church will
mourn the loss of beloved Christian
woman who had devoted her life to aid
in the work of establishing Christianity
in China.
Mrs. Houston was the daughter of Mr..
William Withrow, an Elder of the Pres
byterian church of Waynesboro, Va. In
early life she became a member of the
church in that place-the church in
which her husband also afterwards be-
came communicant-and from the very
beginning of her Christian life to the close
she was an ever faithful follower of the
Saviour. A Drawer and truer woman we
have never known. She had confidence
in the gracious promises of God and in
his guiding providence, and did not fear.
Her faith, which had impaired hope and
joy to all her life, was most conspicuous
in her last sickness and in the certain
prospect of death. She had no fears even
for her little ones; God would provide"
The mission work in Hangchow and the
Church which it represents, have suffered
a great loss.

DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE
SURIECT

Quite a wild article appeared in re-
cent number of the Fortnightly Review
bycMr. Grant Allen on the evolution of
man from the ape, to which short reply
appears in the first number of Longnaan'S
Magazine by Professor Owen, the great
pal@ontologist. The Christian World
Qondon), referring to the subject, OBJ
serves:
On the'general character of the Neanderthal
skull Mr.. Allen remarks: No other human
skull presents so utterly bestial type. If one
cuts a female gorilla-skull in the same fashion
the resemblance is truly astonishing, and we
may say that the only human feature in the
skull is its SIZE" Professor Owen points out
that Mr.. Grant Allen entirely overlooks, or is
ignorant of one of the principal features of the
ape skull, a feature to which the bestial and
fsrocious aspect is in large part due-namely,
the existence of ridge beginning above the
eyes and running along the top of the head, to
which the biting muscles are attached In hui
man skulls including the Neanderthal speci-
men, the corresponding muscles do not extend
their origins to the upper surface Of the Uranium
but stop short at the sides forming the inner
wall or boundary of what are called the tem-
pies" DR.. Owen justly remarks that this nota-
BILE difference Ought not to have been passed
over" by Mr. Grant Allen. Its Importance is
the greater because it is connected with the sys-
tenn of the teeth, in which there is gap be-
tween the human and the simian arrangements
bridged over in no skulls that have been ex-
amined by the biologist. Having given refer
10 -, L; IL:
trated BY plates which we think Messrs. Long
man might have afforded to transfer to their
magazine, Professor Owen formally AYERS that
the difference between the lowest man and the
highest ape is greater than that between the
highest known ape and the lowest of his monkey
kindred. He concludes with these weghtv
words: The present phase of the quest may be
far from the bourne to yield hereafter trustwor
thy evidence of the origin of man but, mean
while, exaggerations and misstatements of ac-
CURED grounds ought especially to be avoided"
The Christian World might have gone
on to say with truth that there is no suf-
fcient evidence that the Neanderthal
skull, whatever its character, belonged
to very ancient period. 1t was found
IN ravine or cleft of rock buried
under some five feet of mud, and that is
all we know about it. 1t was not asso-
ciated with the bones of extinct animals
nor with fints. The idea that it pos
sesses a high antiquity is a mere assunap-
tlOm. 1t is remarkable that it has at
tracted so much attention If this is the
only evidence that Mr.. Grant Allen has
of the existence of missing link, his
pretenticus paper will excite only smile.

The PoPE's troubles increase, and he
is having undoubtedly hard time. The
last move on the Italian chess board will
vex his rightec us soul. The Court of
Appeals at Rome has confirmed the de-
cision of the Court of First Instance that
the jurisdiction of the Italian Tribunal
extends within the walls of the Vatican.
1t appears that the Major-Domo of the
Pope was sued before the Italian courts
to recover on an account rendered by an
architect for work done in the Vatican.
The Italian tribunal decided that it had
legal jurisdiction of the case and pro-
ceeded to try it against the circumstances
of the Pope.

CUT BONO?

The work which Christianity has done
in the world can be more accurately
measured than generally occurs to us.
We have to-day standard of comparison
in China. By as much as England ex-
ceeds China or Japan in morals and civ
ilisation, to that extent Europe has moved
since the days of Tberius. China is fully
equal to ancient Rome or Greece in all
the elements that go to measure social
and national progress. Do we remember
that the Chinese invented firearms,
paper, gunpowder, movable types, the
mariners compass, long before they
were known in Europe? We are apt
to think of Socrates and Cicero; but
Confucius is the equal of Socrates as
a philosopher and teacher. Before the
Israelites went down into Egypt China
had an astronomy; there was lexicon
of the Chinese language when Marcus
Aurelius was the emperor of the West :;
the literature Of China was Furnishing
before the time of David and she pos
sessed laws superior to those of Egypt in
the days of Moses.
China was older than Greece or Rome,
and she has survived their downfall ff-
teen hundred years-and what point has
she attained to? She has fully proved
the capabilities of heathenism; and what
are the results? In China the practice
of destroying female infants, as we would
destroy litter of puppies, has prevailed
for centuries. Girls, both in China and
Japan, are sold for term of years, or for
life, for the vilest purposes while the
wife and daughter are both liable to be
sold for the debts of the husband or faith
er. By the Chinese law no man can be
capitally punished until he confesses his
crime. Consequently, the practice is this:
When man is convicted of crime, if
he will not confess, the court orders him
to be tortured in the most horrible man
ner until he does confess. 1t is mere
question of time and endurance. Pris-
oners have no counsel no jury; there
are no witnesses examined. The wretched
creatures, says writer on the subject,
are brought into the presence of Judge
(who has the sole conduct of the case),
and are dumped on the pavement like SO
many baskets of potatoes. The punish
ments are perfectly frightful.
Such is the world aOithout Christian
ity; and fine scholars like the late Mr..
Darwin, Mr.. Huxley, Mr. Spencer, Mr..
Tyndall, are trying to get rid of Chris
tianity.

The French writers WELD very keen
blade. We have seen nothing sharper
than the criticism made in some of the
French journals on the letter of Darwin
which appeared recently, stating his
doubts about the reality OF future life,
and that he did not believe God [if there
was God had ever made any revela-
ton to mankind. They put it this way !;
they say that they cannot understand

elected, is refused seat in Parliament
on the ground of his being an unbeliever
