idea Of American institutions, and per.
haps the number who would care to be
informed thereon is fewer still. The
United States make no efforts to draw
the immigrant hither, and the induce
ments for his coming must be merely in
the flaming posters of steamship
companies or the desire to be with kin
dred beyond the sea. Yet the immigra-
ton tide goes ON from year to year
without much noticeable diminution.
There is no guaging what the amount Of
immigration would have been, II any
effort had been made to work the mat
terup. In the American exhibition that
is talked of for London next year, it is
proposed to give representations OF all
phases of American life as revealed in
workshops, the office, the mine, the
railroad, the farm and the countless
other means by which livelihood is
gained on American soil. If the inner
life of the United States citizen is intel.
gently presented for the consideration Of
his foreign brethren, the immigration to
this country must receive'a tremendous
impetus; and 1t will attract class oil
industrious citizens that the nations
across the sea can i'll afford TO spare.
IT looks as though China has made up
its mind to knock the chip of Frances
shoulder.
BLA1NE's bombast and Buffers blathcr
are made more conspicuous by Clevelaud's
clear common sense.

| In the Reformed church, in 1862, there
were 421 ministers. For the year following
there was an increase Of per cent. in tn
number. The number OF clergymen in tn
same church for the year 1888, shows onl
an increase of . per cent over that of th
previous year. The consideration Of thes
facts is causing no little concern anon
ohurchmen, who fear coming depletio
in the miuisterial ranks. There seems t
be little real cause for alarm. The sam
cry OF the scarcity of candidates for tn
ministry has been heard since tho fourds
tion of Christianity. But the instance
in civilized communities whore spiritui
interests suffer from lack Of ministers al
very rare. The great want seems to |
better ministerial timber.
