RELIG1oUs.-Rev. S. W. Coe has been as
signed to the pastorate of the Methodist
Protestant church in this place and preach
ed his first sermon here last Sunday. He
is young man of deep piety and enthu-
siasm for his work and comes recommended
as good preacher and an excellent pastor.
And Judging from his remarks Sunday
morning our Methodist Protestant friends
are to be congratulated upon having SO
good a maI to serve them il his ministerial
capacity. Mr.. Coe took his text from
Ephesians 9th chapter and 18th verse, and
all were agreed that his sermon was an ex-
cellent one full of practical thoughts and
apt illustrations.
He spoke from notes, about 80 minutes.
After the sermon the new pastor made
some remarks appropriate to the occasion
touching upon the work before him and the
relations he was called upon to bear
towards the members of his new charge,
| which showed him to be Thoroughly ID
earnest and deeply sensible of the duties
before him. The GOLD LEAF cordially
welcomes Mr.. and Mrs. Coe to our town.

New York,s Japanese Bank.

It is, perhaps, known to very few
people that there is a regular Japanese
bank in the city with every facility for
the transaction of a banking business,
the sale of bills of exchange, and let
tiers of credit, the purchase of specie,
etc But such is the case. The gen
tlemen connected with the bank are all
natives of Japan and men of intelll-
pence and refined, with that courteous
bearing so noticeable in the higher class
of the people of China and Japan. They
are highly educated and several OF them
sneak English fluently. They have also
adopted the dress and habits of Guilt
waited Americans.
The bank, which is a branch OF \
large banking institution In Japan, IS
mainly supported by transactions with
,apanese merchants engaged IN the I'M
port or export trade. Its Offices form
mart of the suit of rooms occupied by
the Japanese consul, and that gentle
man himself exercises supervision over
its affairs to see that everything is con
dueted in the interest and to the credit
of the government whose commisson he
bears.
The head Office of the bank is at Yo-
kohoma, Japan, in what is known as the
mi Mani Nakadori GOchome OF thai
CITY. The bank has also branch officf
at Bishopsgate street, London, England
which is conducted in the same man p
IS in this city. -

Since establishing our Mission in this
city, we have frequently been solicited to
procure larger and more convenient quar-
ters for worship and Bible class, quite
number expressing themselves as willing TO
contribute toward the necessary expense.
We have now secured the building on Fort
street, formerly used a gymnasium, thus
mourning quite a debt; besides, some
changes are necessary. Therefore We would
say to all who would esteem it privilege
to aid US in the matter that they can confer
with Mr. n. F. Burgess, or with the under

The pastime of bringing out candidates for
she presidency IN 1888 has already been en-
tered upon with considerable zest, and from
present indications 1t would seem that the race
Is to be brush free for all governors. The
chief magistrate Of pretty much every large
state is liable to be groomed and entered for the
stake, whether he becomes an actual starter or
not Foraker OF Ohio Is considered possible
DARK horse, with a fair chance, on the republi-
can side. and Hill of New York and Pattison OF
Pennsylvania both have shrewd and well
heeled hackers on the democratic side, while
Lee of Virginia Is named for second place, with
. strong northern entry at the head. How
many other state stables are to be represented
the course it Is too early yet to tell: but,
while gubernatorial stock is regarded as
good for the coming heat, how Is IL that no one
has named the young colt, Jerry Rusk, Of the
Wisconsin paddock? He has shown himself
lately to be a brisk. firm stopper, with indica-
tions of great staying powers. 1t is true that
he might not at first sight be the favorite with
the book-makers, but the horse named by them
10 win does not always lead the bunch at the
finish, as the history OF all race courses shows.
The inquiry is therefore repeated: Why does
no one name Jerry Rusk?

the neighborhood of the Maine lakes, where
Senator Frye does his fishing, and speak OF q
