DeIllu LlspatCH TO LOnuou Hines.
1t is stated that King Humbert and his consort
will in all probability visit this capital some
where about the birthday of the Emperor, which
falls on the 22d of March. 1t is expected also
that this day will be distinguished by the laying
of the foundation-ston of the new Imperial
Parliament House, for which the ground is now
being actively prepared Standing Just outside
Brandenburg gate, opposite the Offices of the
on the Konigplatz, the building will give an adj
ditional grace to the finest open space in the
capital. It was thought wonderful that the En-
peror had been prepared to unveil the national
monument in the Niederwald but it would be a
marvel indeed if he lived not only to lay the
foundation of but also to open the new Imperial
House of Parliament. And yet there are much
more unlikely things. The ease with which his
Majesty has got over his late illness argues his
possession still of unwonted vigor and recuper-
ative power. In few weeks the Emperor viii
have entered his eighty eighth year, but he is
by no means the only survivor in Prussia of the
war of liberation.

The Salvation Army in Australia.

Letter in San Francisco Chronicle.
The Salvation Army appears to have found
particularly congenial soil in Australia. Howe,
the famous bush-ranger, used to read the Scrip
lures regularly to his robber gang and swear
them in on the prayerboo Without venturng
on speculations as to the connection supposed by
some to exist between piety and plumber, one
need only refer to the Australian War Cry for
evidence Of the extent to which the army is
recruited from the criminal classes. That
may be to its credit; but it involves liabilities
of a serious kind. This is not the age
of miracles. Criminal instincts and habits
are but slowly changed. In this democratic
country a notable sign of conversion to the army
is a certain scottish egotism displayed in those
whose cases most call for humility and penitence
At one of their frantic meetings a SISTER de-
clared: "Once | was vile wretch not fit for hell;
but now my elder brother, the Lord Jesus, has
taken me in hand, and I feel too good for
heaven" Another ''sister" remarked that she
had knocked about with Engshmen, French
men and Cinnamon" but now she knocked
about with no one but the Lord Jesus Christ. "
There is a true larrikin ring about such express
sions these and they can hardly fail to diffuse
among the converts an impression that immoral
ity, or even crime, is light thing easily washed
away by 1.-THE blood" and quite compatible with
swift promotion to sainthoOd and paradise.

Nineteenth Century for January.


The cruelty of a Fijian god, who, represented
dev0uring the souls of the dead may be sup
posed to inflict torture during the process, is
small compared with the cruelty of a god who
condemns man to fortunes which are eternal: and
the ascription Of this cruelty though habitual in
ecclesiastical formula, occasionally occurring in
sermons, and still sometimes pictOrially llustPat
ed, is becoming so intoerable to the better
natures that, while some theologians distinctly
deny it, others quietly drop it out Of their teach
ings Clearly this charge can not cease until the
beliefs in hell and damnation disappear. Disap-
pearance of them will be aided by an increasing
repugnance to injustice. The visiting on Adams
descendants through hundreds of generations
dreadful penalties for small transgression
which they did not commit; the damning of all
men who do not avail themselves of an alleged
mode of obtaining forgiveness which most men
have never heard Of and the effecting of re-
Cancellation by sacrificing a son who was perfect
ly innocent to satisfy the assumed necessity for a
propitatory victim, modes of action which,
ascribed to. a human ruler, would call forth ex-
pressions of adherence; and the ascrption of
them to the ultimate cause of things, even now
felt to be full of difficulties, must become impos-
sible. So, to- must die out the belief that a
power present in innumerable worlds throughout
infinite space and who, during millions of years
of the earths earlier existence needed no honor
ing by its Inhabitants, should be seized with a
craving for praise, and, having created mankind.
should be angry with them if they should not
perpetually tell him how great he is.

Frequent MilkinRs

The influence OF the frequency with
which milking is practioed during a
a period OF twenty. hours, both
upon the animal and upon the milk,
has been extensively discussed, and
still remains far from being settled.
Whatever may throw light upon it,
or furnish facts that may find prac
teal application on the farms, must
be received by qualification on every
hand. The results Of the experiments
of Erlenmeyer will, therefore, be con.
sidered with no little interest by
those engaged In the dairy business.
