LONELINESS OF CHRIST.

"He is altogether lovely."-Solcmon's
Song SIG.
Lovely in his person, in the glorious, all
sufficiency Of his Deity, gracious purity, and
holiness of his humanity, and authority,
and majesty, love and power.
when he, though rich. for our sakes became
poor; taking part of flesh and bIood, because
we partook of the same; being made Of wo-
man, that for us He might be made under
the law; even for our sakes.
Lovely in the whole course of bis whole
life, and the more than angelic holiness and
obedience which, in the debt Of poverty aud
parsecution,be exercised therein; doing good
receiving evil; blessing, and being cursed,
reviled, reproached all his days.
Lovely in his death, yea, therein most
lovely to sinners; never more glorious and
desirable than when be came broken, dead
from the cross. Then be had carried all our
sins into land of forgetfulness; then had
he procured life and Immortality for US.
Lovely in his whole employment; in his
life. death, resurrection and ascension; be-
Ing mediator between God and us, to re-
cover the glory Of God justice, and to save
our souls; to bring us to an enjoyment OF
God, who were set at such an infinite dis
tance from him by sin.

tho he is terrible to his enemies, yet he is
full of mercy. love and compassion toward
his beloved ones. =,
Lovely in all those supplies of grace and

their neighbcrs. The masses, those who
make up the bulk of the population and
the rank and file of the army, are o.
mixed race, largely Indian. They art
people of great strength, endurance and
ferocity. These common soldiers, of the
blood of the warlike Araucanian aborig
ines, make Chile terrible in war. They
have no fear of death and do not know
when they are defeated. In the wal
with Peru the enormous proportion OF
dead to wounded left on the field of hat
tie has gone into history as memorial
to the ferocity of these dark skinned
warriors.
Imagine the entire eastern coast Of the
United States, with from 100 to 200
miles OF breadth, cut off from the rest OF
the country. Imagine the Rocky Mount
aims, largely increased in height and
capped with eternal SHOWS, set close up
against the western edge of that strip of
land, their sides pushing down abruptly
and joining the level by slopes not easily
traversed. Now imagine the Allegha-
MES pulled from their bases and planted
along the eastern edge of the coast, SO
close to the sea that there is only room
for some narrow plains and few towns
here and there between the surf and
their abrupt slopes. Suppose the long
narrow strip of country between the. par
aliel mountain chains fertile plateau,
blooming with vegetable wealth, dotted
with cities and villages and crossed by
innumerable torrents carrying the drip
pings of the snow-capped mountains to
the sea. That is Chile reversed, OF
course, for Chile's coast is bathed by the
Pacific, and the sun rises over the white
summit of her volcanoes.
Following out the comparison little
further we find that Chile's territory
would cover the States of Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts,
Rhode Island, Connecticut, third Of
New York, all of New Jersey, half OF
Pennsylvania, most of Maryland, all OF
Delaware, nearly half of Virginia and
North Carolina, three quarters of South
Carolina, half of Georgia, u corner OF
Alabama, and oil Florida.
Chill or Chile, as she spells her name,
runs from the fifteenth parallel OF south
latitude we'll below the tifty-sixth. Tho
northern provinces grow hot under s
tropical sun and bring forth the fruits OF
Southern California in profusion and
perfection. The wild and rocky terrl-
tory which she pushes southwark to
within twelve degrees of the Antarctic
zone is cold and cheerless, given to ice
in spring and fall, and little productive
of vegetation. Between the two limits
the fertile valley brings forth the pro.
ducts of every zone by turn. 1t brings
forth its produce freely, too, under the
spur of perfect irrigation and enlightened
methods of agriculture, and the country
eats its fill and sends large surplus of
grains and other produce to Its less ener-
getic neighbors.

GERMAN newspapers are printing
the assertion that the weight OF the
Worlds Fair buildings will cause
them to break through the crust Of
the earth, with the result OF pre-
cipitatln the entire city Of Chicago

Lake Michigan. But nobody need
stay away from the fair on this ac-

same. Chicago is not only a phoenix

FRANCE has lost no time in moving
into line with Russia's policy, and
has picked a quarrel with Bulgaria
because that plucky little nation has
expelled a French journalist, who
was maligning all things Bulgarian.
Will France now take the liberty OF
going up past the Sultan's forts into
the Black Sea, with view to giving
Bulgaria a lesson? This would be
pretty certain to bring about dis
turbance in Europe.

England and Italy Overrule Turkey
France and Russia.

LONDON, April s.-Lord Salisbury scored in
the diplomatic contest with France and Russia
over the firman OF investiture of the khedive Of
Egypt. When the sultan's envoy, Eyoub Pasha,
arrived at Cairo, the British minister, Sir Eve
lyn Barring, suspecting something of duplicity,
asked for copy OF the document, and when
Eyoub Pasha refused to communicate the con-
tents of the firman until after investiture, Min
lister Barring advised the khcdive not to proceed
with the ceremony. Eyoub Pasha then dis
closed the substance of the firman, the nature
OF which had been known and approved by
France and Russia before the missive left Con-
stantinople. The Italian squadron, which
was about to leave Alexandria, got orders to
stay, and the officers on leave were recalled to
their ships.
Yesterday the British and Italian ambassadors
at Constantinople sent joint note to the grand
viZier, saying that the frman must be altered
or Eyoub Pasha recalled. There seems to he no
mistaking the emphatic and peremptory charac-
ter of the note and the immediate result. Tele-
grams were received by the khedive from the
sultan today saying that the frman would be
modified. omiiting the definition Of the frontier

Contention of the City Sustained ON All
Points.

OLYMPIA, April S-[specia;.I-Th opinion in
the Seattle charter amendment case was handed
down by the supreme court today. 1t sustails
the amendments relative to the reduction of
the membership of the hous OF delegates ON all
points, and holds that proposed amendment
may be amended by the council after publca-
ton OF the notice; that the proposition may be
split up in the notices of election and cn the
ballots, and that to carry an amend
nent only majority of the votes ca,t on
such an amendment is necessary. The psovis-
ion in the Seattle charter which provides that
majority of the votes cast at the election at
which an amendment is submitted is necessary
to adopt such an amendment, is held to be in
contravention of the section of the constitution
which provides for the ratification OF amend
ments by majority of the qualified electors
voting thereon. 1t is decided that no ether
limitations than the constitution p.ovid.s can
be imposed on the power TO amend the charter.
