[Communicated.l The McAll Mission.

Fourteen years ago, in the summer of 1871, just after the war had closed between France and Germany, Rev. MT. McA1l, a Scotch minister, then settled in Hadley, England, feeling the need of rest, determined with his wife to visit Paris, as they desired to see the effects of the siege and the riots which had taken place in that city.
 They found it changed and much defaced, many of the inhabitants being scattered, yet they met with kindly welcome, for Eng land had fed Paris during the siege, and the French then looked upon the English people with favor MT. and Mrs. McAll brought with them some French tracts which were gladly received by those who passed them in the streets. After they had disposed of their stock as they were about leaving the place where they had stood, one man stepped from the crowd which had gathered and thank ing them for the little books said: "Why don't some of yQE English people come and teach us youl
 religiona If we had had your, religion we should not have suffered as we have.n Those words Rev. MT. McAll could not forget and after much deliberation and much prayer and consultation with other 1 ministers, he and his wife determined to leave their large parish and devote the rest of their lives to the eVanSel1ZaI1OH or france Shortly after, in November, hall was rent ed, the workingmen invited and the first meeting held. This was ths. hsginaing of the McAll mission ip France.
 Now there are 94 stations or halls opened in that country extending from Paris to the Island of Corsica. Last year the attendance on the 15, 900 religious meetings was nearly 8 million.
 Many in New Haven remember the coming among us of Miss Elizabeth R. Beach in 1879, and the interest she inspired in the work which the Rev. Mir. McAl1 was carry ing on amongst the workingmen of Paris. Those who remember her will be gratifed to know of the recent formation of new sta tion in Paris to be called .'Sallie Beach, in memory of her life and work. This station was formally opened on the 10th of January last, and we glean 8 few items from the ad- dress given that evening by the Rev. .Dr. Beard, pastor of the American chapel in that city. Rev. Mir. Newell writes: aDT. Beard cordially welcomed us to the salle which now forms part of his pastoral care. His refer ence to Miss Beach was most tender: He told us of her visit to Syracuse, N. Y,, in behalf of this mission when he Was Dss.or Ds.lor i,,
 that city and of the profo-.n impression ion he, e, story Maae n-eon him. He even declared Una. ..Iss Beach was the first one who had awakened his special interest in the evangel l ization of France, and that, under God, il was largely due to her that he found himself ! in Paris today"

States are now very apparent, there having been formed two years ago the American McAl association," which represents in a central organic way the twenty auxiiaries which now exist in this country.
 The interest which aroused in this city led to the formation in 1883 of the
 ssNew Haven auxiliary to the McAll mis- sion," and the treasurer's report for the past year shows receipt of $751, all of which
 has been forwarded to the Rev. MT. McA1l. Of this sum $150 is pledged towards the 1 support of the Beach memorial station The
 remainder is appropriated towards the bene- fit of the Menelmontant station, from which very interesting and encouraging incidents
 have been received.
 As the work is principally among the very
 poor in France, who are not only spiritually
 destitute, but often unable to buy for them
 selves one meal day, more friends are need
 ed as the work broadens and deepens. Anyone who desires to assist this mission may send their contributions to the treas CT, Miss Mary Hadley, 51 Whitney avenue.

 In the Progress Medical Professor Charcot recognizes the force of the statement made by American investigators, that the nervous system designated railway spine" would be better called railway brain. "Those grave and tenacious nervous conditions, , says M Charcot, (which follow upon collis- ions, and which make it impossible for thei1 victims to pursue for months, or even years, their accustomed occupations, are often nc more than hystsria. Hysteria in the male should be known and recognized in legal medicine, since large interests are involved in the matter, and it may come before tri- bunal affected by the still deeply rooted prsjudices against the word hysteria." Five years ago. when systematic attention was first given to male hysteria, Klein was able to collect but 80 cases of the affection, but Batault has lately brought together list oi 218 cases M. Charcot says that such cases are not more frequent than formerly, but that the affection has simply become better studied and more easily recognized.

 The growth which has gone on in some
 parts of.the South is illustrated by the state

 More than eight hundred saloon keepers in Milwaukee have paid the $200 license fee, while nearly forty more are waiting for the approval of the mayor to their applications It now seems probable that before the year is out there will be almost as many saloons open as under the $75 license. This is a good argument for high license. Some sensitive people think it is not quite proper that General Fitzhugh Lee has been appointed by the president one of the board of visitors at West Point. They have an idea that man who was educated there by

4 HORRIBLE CONFESSION.
a NOrng Negro Confesses He Set the
Biockley Aims House on Fire at the
Instieatfon of an Attendant.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 20.-AC the Coroners
inquest this afternoon, in regard to the
death of the twenty victims of the recent
FIRE in the BlockIey Aims House, q sensation
was developed by the confession OF Joseph
Nadine, young negro, that he had set FIRE
to the building and vas instigated to the act
by Peter J. Schroeder, one of the chief At
tendants. Nadine is about twenty-three
years of age. He was committed to the insti-
ution as an imoecile. but il is said
by the physicians of the institution
that he is morally responsible, and
that he was frequently permitted to go
boHe unattended. AS a result Of Nsdins's
confession Schroeder was arrested. Nadine
said Schroeder had given him match on
the night OF The calamity aud told him 10
set the place on FIRE. Nadine then went to
the drying room, and lighting the match
piled 1t to some rubbish on the door. Re
then called Schroeder. and the two. with the
assistance of an attendant named Mullen,
endeavoTed TO get the patients
our, but the FIRE gained such
headwav that they were forced
themselves TO leave the building. Nadine
saws THAI when Schroeder gave him the
match, he told him to set fire to the build
ing, as he was tired of the place and was go
ing to leave, and disliked DR.. Richardson be-
cause he bad refused to give him railroad
pass. Nadine intimates that Attendant Mni-
len also knew of his having set fire to the
building but thinks he did not know OF it
until the next day. Mullen was not placed
| in custody. but will be detained as a witness
against Schroeder. Nadine says he twice be-
fore set fire to the buildiBgs, but both times
the flames were discovered and extinguished.
On both occasions he aiterward,told SOhroe.
/ Ger OF his acts, but that the latter assured
inn he would n n
/ ties OF the institution. Nadine was at times
nervous and greatly frightened apparently,
/ but upon being assured that no harm would
! be done him, ne would become calm and
/ collected. Nadine told OF many cruelties in
4 ficied upon patients by Schroeder when the
/ latter was in a violent temper. Schroeder,
/ after his arrest, admitted that he had in
tended leaving the institution, but denied
the truth of Madness story. or that he had

Jobs to be Pushed in the Last six Days.

Special to the Sen tineI-

sideration of biIls-thst is it will be in Or
der to make move OF that character when
ever the floor is not occupied by some meas
ure. Everything will be done in hurry.
There are a number OF Jobs before Con-
gress. None of them are big, however. There
is q hungry lobby here. It has bean here
all winter. living off the anticipations of
those six last days of Congress They
will goad on their Representa-
tives in the House to push
the measures they are interested in. Much
Of the time all the members will demand
simultaneous recognition by the Speaker.
There viii be great noise, tumult of ges.
tlculations, thunder OF voices.
Then there will be more or less excitement
over the Inauguration and the subsequent
proceedings at the White House. The ap.
preparations, 1t now appears, will
be out of the way, completely
and finally finished. by the end
of next. week, and the monkey and-a-
psrrot.time can go on without interference
There are thousands of bills before ths
House. The calendar is loaded down with
them. II there should be three or four days
of the six undisturbed by the appropriations,
the .schemers will have a harvest, the
jokers will have picnic. During such
scenes of trades, wherein one member sup
ports another's measure without inquiring
what it is only to get his vote in return for
another bill, the greatest illustration and ex-
element prevail. 1t is then that such
members as Mr.. Holman get in good work.
But under the amended rules it requires
ten DIRECTORS to defeat consideration.
