This American nation has no right 70
live if it is not a missionary nation.
speak not now merely of foreign mis-
sionary operations, technically so called.
mean that America is the land of light
and liberty in order that it may impart
light and liberty TO others. When it re-
refuses to impart, it ceases to be Gods
chosen land.
What is true of the nation is true of
the individual. Are you specially ia
vored? Have you culture, refinement,
comfort, friends, lovely home? Why.
Stop moment and ponder that ques-
ton. Why has God picked you ont as
one of his fayorites on whom to bestow

serted? Why? He has appointed you by
your prosperity to be the bearer TO others
of what you have thus received. Lyman

THE CHOLERA.
The Spector Shadow is Spreading
in Europe.
Steadily, Inevitably Growing, and Threat
ems to Enshroud the " hole Con tinent-
St. Petersburg, Marseilles, and Ham
burg Under 1t Mt Present.

New YORK. Feb 1s.-The London
correspondent of the World cables the
following; "a tiny shadow, foretelling
the great plague that is to be, has
fallen across the land. Just now it is
no bigger than mans hand, but it is
sure to grow, daily, steadily, inevita-
bly,, until it has shrouded all the con-
tinent in its dead black Not in one
place has the attack been made, but,
as If by given signal, in three widely
different countries the onslaught of the
cholera has begun.
From far-away st. Petersburg comes
the news, wholly unexpected, of course,
that ten persons have died of cholera
with the cessation of the frost. From
Marseilles, under the warm sun of the
Riviera, the plague has all the added
horror of newness, and the people are
trying hard to cover up the dead to
quiet the fears of the living, for no hint
of this must come to spoil the season of
pleasure that this month brings there.
But, worst of all, as directly affecting
America, is the news from Hamburg.
In the suburb of Altoona, a prisoner in
Jail has just died. and five other cases
are being closely watched. The port of
Hamburg itself has not been allowed to
escape. On board the steamers Echo
and Australia four sailors were stricken
with the disease.
The weather is moderating all over
the continent, and the warm sunshine
is kissing back to life the cholera germs.
So this week promises to show wider
spread of the great plague. Meanwhile
Vienna is sending invitations to all ma
tions to an international health con-
gress, to formulate some plan for fight
ing the common foe, and, in England,
southampton is begging parliament to
vote money to keep up rigid quaran-
tine.
MARsEILLEs, Feb. 13.-Between six
o'clock Saturday night and 2 o'clock
Sunday afternoon eight persons died Of
the choleraic epidemic, and several
fresh cases were taken to the hospital.
Two patients were discharged as cured.
The Swedish consul has refused to issue
clean bills of health to vessels sailing
for Swedish ports. A five days quar-
antine has been established by the
Greek government for all arrivals from
this port.

THE vESUvIUS.

Testing of Her Pneumatic Guns Resumed
Tho Officers Express Themselves ~
Greatly Elated over the Result.
PORT ROYAL, s. c., Feb. 1.-THE test
If the Vesuvius' pnematic guns was re-
mmed Friday morning. The harbor
was rather choppy, caused by stiff
northwest wind early in the morn
ng, but Ivy IL o'clock the water
vas fairly smooth and the Vesuvius
loisted signals announcing that she
was ready to fire the first shot, and
would aim it from the two-thousand-
yard buoy. The board had gone
aboard the vessel early in the morning
and watched the experiments from her
deck. With her signals flying she
steamed slowly up to the 2,0OO-yard
buoy, heading slightly to the north of
the target tin. There was momentary
pause while she swung slowly into
position. Then the signals dropped,
and almost instantly followed the white
cloud of compressed air, indicating that
3 shot had been fred. The observers
eye took up the projectile before it had
gone hundred yards in its fight. 1t
sailed gracefully through the air,
making n curve of perfect SYM
netry. This shot fell fully fifty
yards short of the target, but
exactly in line with the buoy which
marked the range. The target itself
had too much slack line and had drifted
about fifty yards away from the sta
ton. The Vesuvius was signaled that
the shot had fallen short and in twelve
minutes she prepared to fire again, in
dicating by her flag the same range
would be kept This time she crawled
close up to her buoy before firing. The
shot was much like the previous one,
the shell falling but few feet short of
its target but practically on the
buoy line. An interval of an hour
followed and then the remaining
two projectiles were fired. The fourth
shot fell on the buoy line, but the fifth
and last shot fell so close to the target
that the spray thrown up by the pro-
jectile obscured the target An instant
afterward an explosion was heard, and
the water behind the target was
disturbed. So far as this could be
seen this last shell was the only
one that exploded although the Off
GERS of the Vesuvius and members
of the board said they had distinctly
heard the explosion of the fourth
she'll 1t was learned during the after
noon that after firing the first three
projectiles the gun-cotton primers had
been replaced by gun-powder primers,
the supposition being that the gun cot
ton had failed to detonate the powder
Many of the officers maintain that this
view is probably correct The second
and fifth shells fell so accurately that
they would have fallen on an ordinary
sloop stationed for target The officers
of the Vesuvius expressed themselves
as greatly elated over the success of the
days test They went to the station
this afternoon and took seven shells
from the lighter. The gun cotton has
been removed from them and it will be
replaced with powder to enable the
continuance of the experiment to-mor-
row.

Ruins of an Aztec City Pound.

PHGNIX, Ariz, Feb. 11.-Col. John
stone, former editor of the Gazette, and
VIM. Condor, an experienced pros
pector, returned Friday from the
mountains twenty-five miles northwest
of this city and report the discovery of
the ruins of an old Aztec city different
from any before discovered. Among
the many hieroglyphics are drawings OF
men, and on an oval shaped stone is a
serpent, cross and anchor. Around
these ruins is stone wall, or fortifica-
ton, in good state of preservation.
The place indicates that there were at
least 10000 inhabitants. 1t is singular
that these ruins were not discovered
long ago, but the country in the vicin-
ity is mountainous and has been but
