new CHINESE TREATY.

It's Negotiation Said to Be One Of Mr..
S#s$S Gresham's Pet Schemes.
WASHINGTON. March 26.-Touching
the new treaty which has been nego-
tiated between the government of this
country and China, it is learned that
for several years past the Chinese gov
eminent has been earnestly pressing
upon our government the d%esirability
OF such an agreement, and has repre-
sentedE that while the Chinese empire
was DESTROYS of maintaing friendly re-
lationss with the United States, it would
be difficult to do SO in the present spirit
of the Chinese, if some concession was
not made. It has also complained that
the Scott and Geary laws were in con-
prevention Of the treaties heretofore ne
gotiated.
Forerunner of . Commercial Treaty.
The present treaty is generally con-
sidered as the %forerunner Of a CONNER
cial treaty, the draft of which is be-
slieved to have been made and forwarded
to China for the inspection of the Chi
nese government. Secretary Gresham
Is known to be anxious to signalize his
administration Of the state department
by perfecting an agreement which will
lncrrease the commercial interests of the
United states in the Chinese empire, but
has found the existing laws concerning
the Chinesb to act as a barrier to pro.
ceedings in this direction, and it is in
ferred from the few intimations that
have been received that the Chinese

NAPOLEON Leads.

The editor Of a French press cutting
agency, who deals in the newspapers OF
the entire world, made a calculation as
to who is oftenest mentioned as a pub
lie character. Napoleon I stands first,
although this is probably in consequence
Of the passing fashion Of things Napo-
leonic that set in some time ago. Then
comes the emperor of Germany, then
Prince Bismarck and only in the fourth
place Mr.. Gladstone. Immediately after
comes President Carnot, and the pope
is rather q bad sixth.

left home, when she said to him: CHOW.
my son, you will do right; I am sure you
will do right. You will, won'tyous' That
young man happy? Why, across every
night there fit shadows of eternal dark
ness; there are adders cooled up in every
cup; there are vultures of despair strik-
ing their iron beaks into his heart: there
are skeleton fingers of grief pinching at
the throat.
USEFUL RELIGION.
I come in amid the clicking of the
glasses and under the flashing Of the
chandeliers, andI cry: "Woe! Woe! The
way of the ungodly shall perish. There
is no peace, saith my God, to the wick
ed. The way of t~ransgressors is hard
Oh, my friends, there is more joy in one
drop of Christian satisfaction than in
whole rivers of sinful delight. Other
wings may be drenched of the storm
and splashed Of the tempest, but the
dove that comes in through the window
Of this heavenly ark has wings like the
dove covered with silver and her feath-
ers with yellow gold.
Again, I remark, religion is an adorn-
ment in the style of usefulness into which
it inducts a man. Here are two young
men. The one has fine culture, exquisite
wardrobe, plenty Of friends, great world
~ success, but he lives for himself. His
chief care is for his own comfort. He
lives uselessly. He dies unregretted.
Here is another young man. His ap-
parel may not be so good; his education
may not be so thorough. He lives for
others. His happiness is to make others
happy. He is as self denying as that dy-
ing soldier falling in the ranks, when he
said: Colonel, there is no need of those
boys firing themselves by carrying me
to the hospital. het nae die just where
I am" So this young man of whom I
speak loves God, wants all the world 70
love him, is not ashamed to carry a bun
die Of clothes up that dark alley to the
poor. Which of those young men do
you admire the better? The one a sham,
the other a prince imperial.

that Hume told a minister in The bishop

But how is it if a young man becomes
q Christian? All through the clubrooms
where he associates, all through the bust
ness circles where he is known, there is
commiseration. They say, "Whata pity
that a young man who had such bright
prospects should so have been despoiled
by those Christians, giving up all his
worldly prospects for something which
is Of no particular present WORTH Here
is a young woman who becomes a Chris

Now all through the fashionable cir.

such a bright light should have been ex-
tinguished, that such a graceful gait

prospects should be o~bliterated!" All,
my friends. it can be shown that re-
igion's ways are ways Of pleasantness
and that all her paths are peace; that re-

Behold the contrast. Behold the charm
Of the one, behold the darkness of the
other. Now, I know it is very popular
in this day for young men to think there
is something more charming in. skepti-

AN APT STORY.
Years ago a minister's son went off
from home to college. At college he
formed the acquaintance of a young
man whom I shall call Ellison. Ellison
was an infdel. Ellison scoffed at reli-
gion, and the ministers son SOC learned
from him the infdelity, and when he
went home on his vacation broke his
fathers heart by his denunciations Of
Christianity. Time passed on, and vaca-
ton came, and the minister's son went
off to spend the vacation and was on q
journey and came to a hotel. The hotel
keeper said: II am sorry that tonight I
shall have to put you in a room adjoin-
ing one where there is a very sick and
dying man. l can give you no other &C
commodation." sOh," said the young
college student and ministers son, ''that
will make no difference to me, except
the matter of sympathy with anybody
that is suffering"
The young man retired to his room,
but could not sleep. All night long he
heard the groaning Of the sick man or
the step OF the watchers. and his soul
trembled. He thought to himself: Nov,
there is only a thin wall between me and
a departing spirit. How if Ellison should
know how / feel? Howif Ellison should
find out how my heart dutters?: What
if Ellison knew my skepticism gave
way?" He slept not.
In the morning, coming down, he said

NEW YORK, June 81.
The market developed heavy tone and
prices moved downward without the evil
dence of any selling pressure outside of the
board room. The interest in the question of
gold exports was sustained owing to the
persistent strength of the foreign exchanges
and the certainty of heavy shipments of the
precious metal on Saturday. AS yet there
mas been no generous response by the banks
TO the proposition that they should reim-
purse the government for it's loss of gold,
