Seeking q Od,

Men have lost sight of God. Even tho
knowledge OF God has vanished from whole
nations and from continents. The sight OF
the nations covered with gross darkness, sit

touch of their lost God, 'if haply they
might feel after him and find him. though

their one redeeming feature, Religion with

without God in this life, but when the

Chinese Inhumanity.

At Canton, China, some $50, 900 peo-
pie live continually upon boats, and
many never step foot on shore from one
years end to another. The Young chill
dren have habit of continually falling
overheard, and thus cause great deal
of trouble in eifecting rescue, while in
many instances this is impossible, and a
child is drowned. China is an over
populated country, and the Chinese ha, a
profted by this drowning proclivity in
reducing the surplus population. They
attach floats to the male children so that
they can be tished out when they tumble
into the river. The females are without
such protection, and are usually left to
drown.

Not always doti Christ lead His flock

Makes He His sheep TO lie:
Not always by the waters still
Doth he their needs supply.
Ger rugged paths they oft must climb
With aching, weary limb;
through lonely deserts they must 20
Though light Is growing dim;
He trod a dreary path, and they
Must follow after Him.
Sometimes he turns their Joy to pain,
Their sunshine into gloom,
And OFT the things they cherished most
He hides within the tomb,
lhat they within their hearts may have
For Him more ample room.
He fears lest, loving earth too well,

From Him, who with such tander love
Has led them all the way,
And who will surely lead them on
To oeverlasting day.
II only they will follow Him
m Where He has gone before,
lhough narrow may the pathway be-
And low and dark the door.
He'll guide them to the fold above.
To dwell for evermore
Nor thirst nor hunger there they'll know.
For Christ Himself doth feed
His own; and wipes all tears away,
supplies their ev'ry need,
And whore the living fountains flow.

Hereditary Incbriety.

In the International Congress OF Anthro-
pology, held in this city last month, among
the papers read was one contributed by DR..
Norman Kerr, of London, President Of the
Society for the Study of Inebriety, upon
hereditary inebriety. The paper, which was
read by DIR. Lewis ID. Mason, Of Brooklyn,
aw wakened much interest Heredity, it was
affirmed, was the most potent cause of those
leading TO inc, riety. "Fully one-half of
lnebriates," says DIR. Kerr, ''have had this
fatal Inheritance handed to them.n Again he
says: "A morbid state Of organ or tissue may
descend. Thus, the first child Of inebriate
PARENTS may be an idiot, the second an epilep.
tic, the third neurotic, and fourth an inc
briate. The heredties are so powerful that
the health history Of inebriates should be
carefully traced, so that proper allowance
could be made for the physical inability un.
der which many suffer" The lesson of this
paper emphasizes very strongly the wisdom
and duty Of total abstinence, especially for
all those who would assume parental re.
sponsibilities. .-National Temperance Adr0.

THE REASON why.

Several correspondents are hereby
informed that their correspondence,
relative to the last conspiracy trial,
is withheld from publication because
the case is not yet settled. The de-
fendant has applied for new trial,
and considering the inconsistency of
the verdict with the evidence ad-
duced, and several other important
points in connection with the form
alton of the jury, it is confidently ex-
pected that the request of the de-
fendant will be granted, and the
whole matter be opened afresh. In
the meantime, comments which may
have tendency to prejudice the case
one way or the other, are required
to be withheld from publication. We
have not, as intimated by one cor
respondent, kept silent because We
have no opinion, nor from motives
of fear; but for the reason above
stated. We have very decided
opinion, and shall not hesitate to ex-
press it when the impediment refer
red to is removed, nor decline the
communications which are at pres.
ent held back.

GARA'S WEDDING WINE.

The Rev. DIR. Lyman Abbott,
Editor of the "New York Christian
Uuion," is presenting view of the
prohibition question which is attrac-
ting considerable attention in church
circles in the East. DIR. Abbott
gives expression to his views in con-
nectiOn with the International Sun
day-school lesson for April 18th,
which concerns the miracle at the
Cana marriage feast. In the course
of his discussion the doctor not only
brings out-what every Sunday
school teacher knows-that Christ
INDUCED in the use of wine as Il
beverage, but also the information
that there were in His day teetotalers,
like the Essenes, a Puritan sect,
which some biblical writer's claim
Christ belonged to, and the Naza-
rites, among whom was John the
Baptist, who were under vow to
abstain from all kinds of wines, and
that there were those who favored
prohibition by law. In Rome the
teetotalers were partially successful,
as they secured the passage of a
law forbidding women to drink,
which was as far as the bibulous
Romans would go, They were evil

THE FALKLAND ISLANDS.
THE ARGENTINE REPUBLIC CLAIMS SOW
EREIGNTY AS SUCCESSOR OF SPAIN.

New York, April 23.-It appears
that Great Britain is not to be per-
mitted to enjoy peaceable posses
sion of the group of Navarin Cor
Falkland) Islands, which are so sit
uated off the coast of Patagonia as
to command the southern seas.
In decidedly tart correspondence
which has passed between Sir T.
Packenham, the British Minister to
the Argentine Republic, and Sehor
n. Quirncosta, the Argentine Secre-
tary of Foreign Affairs, and which
has been made public, it appears
that the Argentine Republic, as the
successor of Spain in the soyer-
eighty in the southern part of South
America, has always claimed these
islands.
They lie directly in a position TO
control both the route around Cape
Horn and the one through the Straits
or Magellan, Their chief value is
purely strategic one, and Great
Britain desires TO hold them for that
reason, and from the correspondence
referred to it appears that the Ar
gentine Republic makes the follow
ing claims regarding these islands
First-That by the treaty between
Spain and England, signed in Lon
don, ON January 22, 177l, by Prince
haserano and Count Rochefort,
Spain agreed to restore the Englisl
settlement of Port Egmont to its orig
inal state, retaining its own rights to
sovereignty oyer the Navarin Isl
ands, and continuing TO hold theil
possession.
