The Presbyterian.

T read the recent interview with the Rev. pr. coyle, moderator of the north ern general assembly of the Presbyterian church, on the subject of organic union of the Presbyterian bodies of the United States. and was glad to find him so hope ful of such union," said a layman. T used to think that the north and south as- semblies would never unite, but now I begin to think as Dr. Coyle does. There are many reasons why organic union should be accomplished. And then if the Cumberland church will join in the union, the Presbyterian church would wield a greater influence than ever before. There are now eleven Presbyterian bodies in the United States, not counting small negro organization. The union movement is intended to bring all of these separate bodies together in one grand whole.
 The largest body is the Northern Pres byterian church with about LOGO, 900 com munieants. The next largest is the south- ern church with about 22S00O members. Then comes the Cumberland with about lSS,OOO Next the United Presbyterian church. The Reformed churches are nu- merically small, but if all united the Pres byterian general assembly of the United States would represent a communicant membership of something like 1,6OO,OOO."

Crank on Figures.

1t is not generally known that John
w. Guiteau, brother of Charles J. Gut
teau, the assassin who shot President
Garfield, is in many, respects the great
est statistician in the world. Yet, ae-
cording to published statements, Gut
teau must be a veritable crank on
figures; but his crankiness appears to
be very profitable. Just now the feder-
al government, it is said, is under con-
tract to pay him $4,000 for certain
tabulations; and the big insurance
companies are his profitable clients.
Guiteau has demonstrated by figures
that cannot be disputed that the ma
iority of men--or rather that men as a
rule-are ''money drunk" intoxicated
with the spirit of speculation. Guiteau
is the only man who has succeeded in
getting inside the books of Dun's and
Bradstreets commercial agencies; and
he has given out the startling state
ment that the books of these COM
panies contain but 3 per cent of the
names that were there 20 years ago.
What pathetic story this is of the.
premature deaths and business failures
of two decadesl

Lunfolatry In China.

In China the practice of luniolatry
exists Mt the present day and is of very
early origin. The chief festival, that
of Iueping, or moon cakes, is held dur
ing the eighth month of the Chinese
year. Persons make cakes of various
sizes in the shape of the moon and
paint different figures upon them.
Friends and relatives pay visits TO one
another. give entertainments and pre-
sent their cakes after making protes-
tations and pouring out oblations to
the moon.
1t is very remarkable that a verse Of
one of the, Jewish prophets should be
explained by this Chinese custom.
"rhe children gather wood" said the
seer, and the fathers kindle the fire,
aud the women knead their dough to
make cakes to the queen of heaven

labor is hard to get. However the de-
