intelligent missionary Efrort.

The Rev. DR.. Storrs, the president Of
the American board Of commissioners for
foreign missions, has good reasons for
facilitating himself on the result of his
conciliatory policy. The boards receipts
for this year have been $500, 92i, against
$465,3s2 the previous twelve months.
To manage successfully a board which
has such interests under its charge as
this one, something more is needed
than determination to crush out all in
telligent dissent, and keep the vast ma
chine in operationN along lines not at all
adapted to increase the support of foreign
missions, even among those inclined in
their favor. The Rev. DIR. Storrs, with
his broad outlook, has called halt to
those elements which were reducing the
annual contributions for that object

their growing recognition Of the fact
that nuts and buns are not suitable food
for an arboreal creature which subsists

color. 1t Is a most remarkable fact that
the sloth has in the wild state green hair,
which causes it to resemble, as it clings
to branch, an excrescence of that
branch covered with greenish gray Ii

sometimes escape the keen eye of d ja-
guar.
It Is still more remarkable that the
green color IS not resident in the hair it.

titles Of minute green plants; and this
explains how it is that in captivity the
sloth changes color; the plants deprived
of the damp heat Of their native forests,
die, and are not replaced, so the peculiar
gray green which is so characteristic Of
the sloth is changed to brownish gray.

Isaac Milliner, u rancher from the
vicinity of Fort Mead, has been arrested
in Deadwood, S. D., ON the charge of
offering beef for sale without exhibiting
the hide, an act prohibited by l. law,
passed at the instance of cattlemen, by
the last legislature, and intended to pre-
vent the sale of stolen cattle. Mr.. Mil
liner states that the beef offered for sale
was his property, and that he has the
hide at his ranch. and will produce it to
prove that he has not committed a Grim
inal act, This is the first arrest made
under the law, and it occasioned consid-
cradle surprise, as the peculiar provisions
of the law We're not generally known.
There is no doubt of Milliner' S innocence.
but the arrest will serve to spread a
knowledge Of the strange law. Milliner
was released urAler 500 bonds. Cor.

A party consisting Of professor and

Maine, organized an expedition to Lab

growths, and otherwise TO gain scien-
fife knowledge of the country.
1t was also planned, incidentally, to
ascend the Grand river to the great cata-
ract. The Grand river flows from the
high plateau Of northern Labrador, and
the falls BY which 1t reaches the lower
level to flow into the Atlantic ocean are
among the grandest On the continent.
The BoWdoin college expedition was
fitted out 1T the expense of alumni and
friends of the college.
The Grand river WINS ascended, the
great cataract viewed and photographed
and iii height ascertained. The students
who succeeded IN pushing as far up as
the falls suffered many priYations, bnt
won deserved honor in the successful
prosecution OF their enterprise.
Their achievement is good example
for other American colleges and students.
