Notes.

The Canadian Pacific Railway has Just
concluded Il contract with the laCkaWan-
ma Iron and Steel Company, of Scranton,
PENNSYLVANIA, for 10000 tons of steel rails.
1t is believed this is the first time an
American company has been successful in
competition with English manufacturers
for steel rails delivered i'll Canada.
Some idea of the colossal proportions of
the nitcd States may be derived from the
comparisons often used in describing the
extent of Texas. Texas Is double the size
OF Great Britain and Ireland 1t has 90,
600 more square miles than France, $1,000
more than Germany, and 81 900 more than
the Austrian empire. Compared with the
divisions on this side the Atlantic, II Is
larger than all of our Eastern aud Middle
states combined.

| Philadelphia Letter.
A dark complexoned almond-eyed girl, with
rather pretty features, and wearing the richly
embroidered sack and skirt and silk slippers of
| ladies of rank in China, attracted universal
attention to-day at the meeting of the Woman's
Foreign Missionary Society in the Arch-street
Methodist Episcopal Church. The girl was HUI
King Eng who arrived in this country last week
from China, in company with Rev. DR.. Whitney,
medical missionary stationed at Foochow. She
is the daughter of HUI Yong Mi, convert, who
occupies the exalted position of presiding elder
in the Foochow Conference, and is held in high
esteem in China. Her mother who is a lady Of
| high rank, assists her father in his missionary
| labors. Her grandfather HUI King Hi, who died
recently, was a military mandarin of rank and
| enjoyed the distinction of being the second
convert to the Methodist Episcopal Church in
| China. He a devout Christian and
firm believer in the tenets of Methodism, and
| gave his children, the parents of HUI King Eng,
| good religious education. This in turn
| impaired to the girl, who is a pious Christian.
| She is eighteen years of age, and is unusually
| bright and intelligent She has assisted her
father in his missionary work, and has rendered
| valuable aid at the hospital connected with the
mission in Foochow which is in charge of sew
| eral ladies' from this country. Her purpose in
| coming here is to obtain medical education
| which will enable her to take charge of the hos
| pital on her return to her native country. With
this object in view she will enter the medical de
| partment of the Ohio Wesleyan University at
| Delaware, o., in which the co education system
is practiced, and then take a regular course in
| the Women's Medical College in this city. She
expects to encounter many obstacles before gain
| ing the desired knowledge the most formidable
being her ignorance of the English language.
The girl is now in charge of Mrs. S. Moore Sites.
of Washington. former missionary in China,
and the wife of Rev. Nathan Sites. a delegate
from Foochow, China, TO the General Conference
now in session in this city.

most miraculous. In November, 1879 he was
taken seriously i'll, his malady being atr0phy or
paralysis of the stomach, which prevented him
from taking nourishing food. He grew weaker
rapidly. and on the 9th of the mouth
his friends believed that death was
approaching and at Mr.. OConor's request Car
dinal McCloskey administered to him the last
rites of the Catholic Church On the Monday
following, when a report of this reached New
York, it was exaggerated into announcement
Of his death; sketches of his life were published,
and the courts adjourned as a mark of respect.
The false statement was, however, speedily con
tradicted and for a month following bulletins
showing his condition were published daily,
nearly all indicating that his dissolution was APP
preaching. Even his physicians and friends had
abandoned all hope. For nearly two weeks he
was unable to retain any food on his stomach,
and at one time the pulp of a couple of pears
was the only food for several days. He refused
TO take stimulants and appeared to be sustained
alone by his wonderful natural vitality His
mental faculties were unclouded and he suffered
comparatively little In January of the follow
ing year change for the better took place in his
condition and he continued steadily to improve
until he was pronounced out of danger, on the
9th of that month.

THE REFORMED CHURCH.



ADiscouraging Report from the Pacific Coast
The Carson Case.
BALTIMORE. May 13-At the synod of the Re
formed Church, Rev Dir. Schaedler missionary
superintendent of California said the church in
California was dropping, although it owns a
church and parsonage in San Francisco. He pro
poses to establish German and English missions,
and endeavor to restore the church to prosperity.
Rev. Shields, of the Moravan Church, ex-
pressed the brotherly love of his denomination
for the Reformed Church; their numbers in heath
en- lands were six to one compared with their
numbers in Christian lands.
Rev. Dr. Bansman, the president, responded,
and sent to the Moravian Synod a br0thery
greeting.
Rev N. Mitchell (coloredl. representing the
Colored Manual Labor Educational Association
of the United States, made an appeal for material
aid. His people, through ignorance, had been
hoodwinked by politicians. and were bought and
sold by them He wanted them free, like other
people.
The committee on the appeal of Rev. Edmunds
from the action of the Pittsburg Synod pre-
sented a report. The appellant was suspended
by the Allegheny Chassis. being charged with
falsehood, which action was approved by the
Pittsburg Synod, from which the appeal is taken
on the ground that the act of the synod was con-
trary to the law and the evidence. A motion to
recommt was rejected. The reading of papers
in the case occupied the morning session.
After recess the appeal was argued by kIlder
Bousch and Rev. J. W. Love for the appellant
and by Elder L. J. Craig and Rev. Max Prugh
for the Pittsburg Synod. A vote was reached

that the understandable course of some one on
the platform (meaning Bishop CAIN concerning
the appeal in the case of Carson had cast
fleeing upon the Christian character Of the
members of the conference. This course should
be denounced, and no further reflection upon
the character of the conference tolerated; that
the appeal of the case WAS finally settled, and
