This afternoon Harry and / visited
the Confederate museum, which occu-
pies the building Jefferson Davis
dwelt in during the war. For time
the Confederate capital was quite gay,
but the last year was one of most op-
pressive gloom.
There are many things in the mus
cum to interest old soldiers and per-
sons who had relatives in the war on
the Southern side. But for most
part it is bad exhibition. Here are
the garments, blood stained and bull
let rent, which were worn by some of
the prominent men of the South
when they were killed in battle
There are personal relics Of J. E. b.
Stewart, Stonewall Jackson, and
numbers of Others almost as well
known to fame. The only familiar
sight saw was the company flag of
one of the companies in my own regi-
ment, the Rockbridge Rifles, of the
9th Virginia Infantry, Stonewall
Brigade.
OF course there were Stuart's hat
and Jackson's cap, and them | had
seen a Thousand times before on the
march and on the field OF battle.

visit some of the battle fields before

VIII NOT RUsH TO MARTYRDom

WILL NOT RUSH TO MARTYRDOM
1t is announced that ten of the young
missionaries who have been appointed
to various points in North China by the
Board of Foreign Missions of the Pres
byterian Church have been Informed
that the Board has decided that they
shall not go at present, but that they
shall hold themselves in readiness to
sail after September l. If by that date
the disturbances increase so as to rem
der it unsafe for the missionaries to go
into the interior they will at least be
sent to some port like Che Foo, where
they can begin the study of the Lam
guage under the protection Of the for
eign Powers.
This is sensible. It is sometimes fine
to be martyr but it would be foolish
to seek martyrdom in China just now
The young missionaries can do more
good by waiting until China is more
quiet.

are fine accentuation when suitably

ENGLISH IN THE ORIENT.

The English-speaking people have q
their language is popular in Asia, and
because it Is more commonly used than
any other foreign tongue. 1t is pity
that this advantage cannot be followed
up by making the language still more
adaptable to the needs of the natives of
the country. The present popularity is
due to circumstances. The English con-
trolled India. Their language was
spoken there and in all the British colo
MES, and when the English found their
way into China ahead of other Euro
pean nations, they brought their lam
guage with them. But ii ia not an
easy tongue to learn. The Chinese peo-
pie are not slow in learning, but it does
not seem right that unnecessary obSta-
Giles should be placed in their path. I
am not partial to the English language
but it has evidently come to stay, and it
may already be called the commercial
language of the Orient. In all the trea-
ty ports and important centers of the
east it holds a place in the school and
the contingencies which no other Ian
guage can claim. 1t is spoken in the
streets of Shanghai, it is taught in the
schools of Yokohama, and it has OBJ
tanned such vogue that merchants of
all other nations resident ia The east
make use of it in their business and in
their families. If there is to be an inter

to June l, 1874, 164 immigrants had been
received at the different ports of the
United States this year. For the past
| six months the stream of immigration
| to our shores has been constantly grow
| ing, the returns for each month pre-
senting a steady gain. All previous
records were broken in the month of
May, when 69,464 foreigners were pass
ed by the immigration inspectors This
was an increase of 5000 over the figures
for April, which up to that time had
been the largest for the year 1t is pre-
dicted that the total for the month of
June will be even larger than they were
in May, and estimates of $4,000 imnli-
grants are being made. 1t is quite GER
tain that the aggregate for the year
will be more than 100000, which will be
above the high water mark for the past
eight or nine years. The immigration
for recent years is as follows: 1899, 311,-
u.s. 1898, 229,OOO 1897, $1,000 and 1896,
343, 900. Italy is furnishing the major
part of the immigrants who are now
flocking toward the United States The
detailed statement of immigration from
the various countries shows that while
Italy is in the lead in this respect she is
closely followed by Austria Hungary.
The russian Empire also supplies a
large proportion of the immigration.

ing the year about to end than during

In South Africa, the Engineer says: The
more we test it the more satisfied we
become that little real effect is produc-
ed by field gun at ranges over 5000
yards 1t is indeed conceivable that if
we would ignore moral effect it might
pay to draw the enemy's fire at long
ranges and thus waste ammunition pre-
vious to a fierce attack at real fighting
ranges. Experience, we believe how
ever, teaches that this cannot be done
without serious moral loss. The impress
sion is produced that our guns are in
ferior to those of the enemy; that they
can fire on us when we cannot reply and
confidence in our own fire is destroyed
