DR.. Hyde reported that The Chi
ncso work had been progressing
quietly, but that there had been
some difficulty in obtaining the sala-
ry Of the Kohala Minister, He had
seen two ladies, passengers by the
City of Rio de Janicro, who were
returning to China after their work
in America.
DIR. Damon said the Chinese ques-
ton was most serious subject for
consideration. The people did not
realize that there were from 10, 900
to 20, 900 heathens in the Kingdom,
and they must have funds to make
them Christians. 1t could not be
expected that heathens themselves
would get the funds. 1t was pro-
found wonder that, instead of an
occasional report of an outrage, we
were not overrun with outrages.
Why would not the government do a
1.-THE, to bring Chinese women here,
of what they had done for the Por
tugucse. The planters did not want
them. He did not believe, that in
ten years, any department would
show such honest results, for the lit
tie money expended, as their Chi
ncse department. 1t was one of
the crowning works that they had
prosecuted.
The Secretary read letter from
Mr.. Mccoy to the effect that Cap
tain Bray had found, in Boston, a
gentleman whom he considered sui
table for the position of general Sec
retary. The gentleman was assis-
tant pastor in Boston church and
had q bible class of more than 200
people. The Secretary said that the
letter had been referred to Mr..
Morse, in whose hands the selection
of a Secretary had been left.
Mr.. Jones thought that they ought
to get their members first to pledge
themselves for the salary, because,
if a man did not turn out to be the
| right man, people would not contri-
butte.
The classes in bookkeeping and
Hawaiian were reported to be pro-
crossing favorably. The drawing
class had to be suspended in conse-
quence of the absence of Mr.. Furn-
eauX.
| 1t was resolved that the furnish
ing committee be instructed to fur
nish the new room.
DR.. Damon suggested that book
case be procured in which to keep
any books OF magazines that might
be given to them.
| The meeting closed with prayer.

THE Y. M. C. A.

The regular monthly meeting was
held on Thursday evening, His Ho-.
nor Mr.. Justice Judd, President of
the association, being in the chair.
The Treasurer reported balance
of $5.82, with bills outstanding to
the amount of $145. The building
committee made their final report,
and paid over, to the general fund,
balance of $685. 81, which leaves a
balance in hand for the association,
after paying all their debts, of $126.
The building committee received
hearty vote of thanks and was dis.
charged.
1t was decided to relinquish the
public preaching at the Sunday
afternoon services, in consequence
OF the inability of Mr.. Cruzan to
prepare three sermons for every
Sunday, and to hold a prayer meet
ing only at half past three, DR.. Hyde
to be responsible for the next four
Sundays,
Rev. Dir. Hyde was appointed Edi-
tor of the Y. M. G. A. page of the
Friend, for the ensuing year.
The temperance committee re-
ported that petition had been pre-
sented to His Majesty asking for
wise legislation in the liquor law,
and that the facilities for drink
might not be increased. They had
not asked him to veto all laws or for
prohibition, but had asked that it
might be more difficult for man to
get drink
The President spoke of one can
didate, who had voted for the pre-
sent liquor law, who now told his
native constituents that he would
advocate its repeal. He said there
must be some legislation on the sub
ject as the present law would ex-
pire at the end of the year.

A Queer Sort OF Truce Custom.
"a. O. Marshall's aArmv Life.nl


As time wore on, by gradual process,
without any formal agreement, we came
to mutual understanding with the
Confederates In our front. After this,
firing at night practically ceased on our
part OF the line. A sort Of spontaneous
truce would spring up each night. The
way it worked was this: As the sun
went down the artillery would cease
firing; after this the rifle firing would
gradually grow less, and by the time
daylight would pass away it would
cease entirely. A few minutes after the
last shot was heard some one upon one
side or the other would rise a
little above his works for a
second and then drop out of sight.
II no gun was fred upon either side,
some soldier on the other side would
repeat the action. il no gun was now
heard, a soldier upon our side or the
rebel side would openly stand up in
sight Of the opposite line, and his action
would be replied to by one of his op-
ponents. These two soldiers, Union
and Confederate, would look across at
each other moment, and then, no firing
being heard, one after another on each
side would get up, and then we would
have line Of Union sharpsh hooters sit
ting upon top of their works looking
over at a line of Confederate soldiers
sitting upon theirs, each within easy
rife range of the other. When this was
done it was understood that all firing
was over for the day.
As it began to grow dark each side
would send line of guards over in
front of their works to remain during
the night. These lines were often
within short distance of each other.
AS we had much work to do upon our
new lines, the enemy was usually first
ready, and it would be on his side that
the movement for the nights truce was
made. II for any reason we were not
ready, the soldier who exposed himself
for this purpose was not fired at, but
gun would be fred in the air, which was
notice for all to again seek protection.
In the morning it was the same. IF
the guards who had advanced upon the
ground between the two opposing
armies tarried longer than the
other side desired, warn
ing gun would be fred in the
air above them, but no one would be
fired at until ample time had been
given for all to return to their own
works One of the strangest things
connected with these nightly truces
was that they were confined to different
parts of the line. The Union
troops at our immediate left and the
rebel troops in their front never had
any such understanding, and.with them
it was continual fight day and night. !"
The reason for this the author states to
have been want of confidence in each
other, those rebel troops being con-
sidered "the most inferior and worth
less in the rebel army-despised by the
hraver men in their own army, as well
as by u.s."

[Senator ingalls, in North American Review
Out of the portentous and menacing
cloud of anti-slaverv sentiment that had
long brooied with sullen discomfort, a
baleful meteor above the north, he
sprang like q terrific thunderbolt,
whose lurid glare illuminated the con-
tinent with its devastating fame, and
whose reverberations among the splin-
tered crags of Harper's Ferry were re-
peated on thousand battle-fields from
Gettysburg to the gulf. From the, in
slant that shot was fired the discussion
and the debate of centuries was at an
end. He who was not for slavery was
against it. The north became verte-
brated, and the age of cartilage and
compromise was at an end The nation
seized the standard of universal eman-
cipation which dropped from his dying
hand on the scaffold at Charleston, and
bore it in triumph to Appomattox.
Carlyle says that when any great
change in human society is to be
wrought, God raises up men to whom
that change is made to appear as the
one thing needful and absolutely indis-
pensable. Scholars, orators, poets,
philanthropists, play their parts, but
the crisis comes at last through some
one who is stigmatized as fanatic by
his contemporaries, and whom the sup.
porters of the systems he assails cruelty
between thieves or gibbet as felon.
The man who is not afraid to die for ar
idea is its most potential and convinc
ing advocate.

A HumiIiatsng Reflection.

j
The other afternoon I stood in
sculptor's studio as the evening closed
in. Among the heavy draperies and in
the gloomy corners ghosts of his art
loomed with the exaggerated and sol
emn vastness such forms assume when
their details are only imperfectly re-
vea1ed. Out of the populous shade one
figure, pallid, lofty, sinuous with a
weird and superhuman grace, started
forward in the motionless and silent air,
into an absolutely startling activity.
Twisting up out of the shadows, with
out apparent base or support, the
charming yet sinister genius of the
whirIwind seemed to be blown upward
over us by the fierce blast she typifed.
"You ought to put that figure in mar
ble," I said.
"And starve?" the sculptor asked, in
voice which echoed hollowly among
+ the shadows.
There was something in this answer
which made me shudder. The tone in
which it was uttered was not one of
| sarcasm or of anger. Tt was the quiet
and commonplace voice of man MAX
| ing an everyday remark; it was elo-
quent in the simplicity of its resigna-
| ton; it was horrible in the positive fact
it suggested. There was no despair in
it, for the speaker was man,
not a coward; but there was no
hope in it either. It rehuked me
for a question which had meant
in all honesty as tribute to
the artists greatness. and which
circumstances had turned into 0
dagger to stab him. What would
be the result, indeed, if he did
put this figure into the perma-
nent material it should be formed
in? Want while he labored on it and
want while it went begging for pur-
chaser It is q painful, humiliating
reflection, for me at least, that in oil
America the rich man does not exist
who will say to the creator of the best
conception of its kind ever given shape,
aFinish the work you have begun"

FROM THE WiGWaMS.
Fifty Indian aaaIdens Leave the Prai-
rie and Go to Philadelphia AFTER an
EamaaxSam

Philadelphia Record.
The family of twenty three Indian
girls who have been living for some
time at the Lincoln institution, Elev-
enth street below Spruce, was increased
to fifty on Thursday afternoon by the
arrival of twenty y-seven girls from the
Indian training school at Carlisle, Pa,
from which place they were sent by or
der of the interior department of the
United States government. The fifty
who are now IN Philadelphia viii, In
the course of few weeks, be joined by
twenty-five more, which will complete
the number to be taken care of In this
city.
The new arrivals are apparently per-
fectlv satisfied with their quarters.
They ranged In age from 6 to 90, and
were all neatly dressed and wore their
iet-black hair In plaits. The fifty
scholars are divided into two divisions,
each Of which goes through irregular
routine of study and work daily. They
rise at 6 o'clock, and after breakfast
one division goes to the school-roons
and studies from 8 o'clock until noon,
the other girls spending these hours
in learning to sew, cook, and attend
to the general houseWork of the institu-
ton.
In the afternoon from 1 o'clock until
4 the second division attends school
and the first is instructed In the useful
branches just mentioned. Each day the
scholars are taken out for an hours
walk, but as general thing they do
not like this, as they are very sensitive
about the attention they attract. On
Sundays they attend divine service at
| the Church of the Ascension. The
hours when they do not have to be in
school-rooms or at work are spent in
the pl sy-rooms of the institution.
Some of the girls are very clever at
making Indian dolls, which they dec
crate with beads, bits of metal, and
strips of bright flannel. During the
| day they are obliged to talk to each
other in English, but in the hour that
intervenes between supper and bedtime
6 p. m. they are allowed to converse
| with each other in their native lam
| guages. This, however, is impossible,
in many cases, as they represents a num-
Der of tribes, and do not understand
one another's dialects. Prizes are given
at the end of each month to those who
have talked English only during that
period, and they make rapid headway
in learning the language. They are re-
ported to be bright and quick at their
studies.
Among the tribes represented by the
fifty now at the institution are the
Pawnees, Sioux, Cheyennes, Conan
ches, Diggers, Osages. Omahas and
De1awares.
A large number have Christian
names and civilized surnames, but
some are still known by their Indian
surnames, with a Christian name at
tached, the effect of which is often
rather amusing, as in the following
cases: Bessie Big Soldier, Edna
Feather, frankie Bear, Ella Man
| Chief, Maud Echo Hawk, Fannie Grow,
Eunice Bear Shield, Sarah High Pipe.
Lizzie Spider and Olive Battle.
The majority of the girls will remain
in Philadelphia five years.

Meals In the Fo'castle.
Exchange

The manner of serving meals in the
forecastle is as simple as is the system
of cookery in vogue in the galley. The
cook gives gut the made dishes in the
pans in which they have been prepared.
One man in each watch is appointed to
go to tile galley for the food. He places
it on the deck in the middle of the fore
castle and the men take their shares
one by one. The man who takes more
than his just share is not regarded with
favor by his shipmates. Ii he persists
in his piggish method OF helping him
self, his shipmates will not only remon-
strate with him, but will go to the
length of reducing his share to the
proper limits; and if he protests against
this treatment committee of one OF
more, according to his size, is appointed
to thrash him. The sailors sit on theil
chests while at their meals. No tables
are provided for them.
