RUNNING AFTER AN ISLAND.

I was near'y soven years ago that I signed lufflra ftr*;'e'es ftS r3t mnte °*fl o °'c' Dalhousie, a I JB London ship, employed generally on the ! |J AiisLi'.'iliun ami New Zealand line. On the L'aljjl occasion to which I refer she was bound to IfIIIf Hobart Town, Van Diemen's V^and, with a !'■ ri m' MOe"ailo ' n* carg°' which included a I'ijfl great number of iron buildings in detached .'■)'&!■ pieces, for churches or schools, or some H •"'"'' edifices, which the owners had sent 1?| 8 o'll l>< '>y of speculation. They wero not 'jfw j b.ni b limit, and could not catch lire hy r \M C|w>it« 1/ oils (or, in fact, any sort of) com . ;t9 bn-;iuu ; so wo wire pretty well satisfied '■,',•*■ wi h our freight. The ship was not built Dl fnr pa'senger traffic, but, as wo had a few iSf'S "P-^ro cabins, some live or six passengers nflgj v ore ombarked at <ir.<t-cla.=s rates ; and al h|9 t jf.i'wliur wo had a fair piMiniso of as pleasant ■- : i Wo cleared the channel with a fine U. i 'easterly wind, and in a short timo made the j.; :l line. The first, and, up to that period, v|" B °"'y inconvenience which wo suflcrel from ■j^H was a want of water, which, being con '.ll tamed entirely in casks, had from constant | rolling become foul, so that a few hours' 1.. ■ ■•■ exposure to o tropical sun made it turn al ■'■•■'•" H iivwt putrid. However, wo managed to ■ :.'H catch a sufficient quantity of rain to last us H for a fbu* day.-, and the captain promised to : ;.,' I put into St. Helena and get a fresh supply ; 1:H so we held on with what we had, and ;| trusted that another week would cnablo us 'I to replenish our stock. ' We had got down to within about a 188 hundred miles of tho i/land, and expected " 9 to make it next day. That night it was my 1 first wntch, and when twelve o'clock (or, as UN we s' 1011 ' <ay> e>K nt: bells) was struck I was BMM glad to go below and turn in. Blow high J I or blow low, people who keep watch seldom : I remain long awake when their time comes BM| f.ira snooze, and in less than ten minutes I ;.' 1 was fast aslcup. It must have becn'about j I fivo bol!s in tho middle watch when I was Ij/jjj woke up by some one opening tho cabin j S'S door. It was tho second mate, who begged I'l'M mo tj come on deck directly. Accustomed Ij '; I as we all are to sudden calls of this nature, j.{l and supposing that something serious must ii I have occurred to render my presence neces s" I eary, I hastily arose and slipped on tho !■ IB nejoss.-iry articles of dress. j | The mate had .returned to tho deck the I J mo-nent hu saw I was well awake, so that I j If had no opportunitj' of asking him what was I ■ the matter. In a few moments I stood be : J sHe him on the poop, and, not having 1$; m noticed any particular reason for being I] ii c illed, somewhat peremptorily asked him i -j why he had roused me. ■j "Tho reason is, tir, that I am afraid I H something is wrong with the captain. He vlfl n"l3 altered the course ; and though there's 1a -M a heavy squall coming up from the not'-wett li m 3 won't allow me to shorten sail; and he's f w gjing on in his cabin in the queerest way f*' imaginable. When I went below to report I fiai it was coming over dark yonder, he 9 told me to leave the cabin instantly, and ; i.- followed me on deck. He then told the i;" helmsman to put the helm down, and nearly* brought us flat aback ; if I hadn't rounded I ■ in the after braces, we should have been in I a pretty fix. Then he made me try and ,!: wear, saying that he wasn't going to chase ISi a runaway island for ever; and at last, i| I after boxhauling all ro net the c- in pass, he :« fl< told me to make her course nor' -vest and j«j keep her so. You can see through the sky |f| light what he's about below." | <J * glanced through the wire-covered glass, Ijj and saw that Captain Armstrong was en- Ij j gaSecl 'n what, to say the best of it, was an ?! 9 extraordinary proceeding. A chart of the I|| South Atlantic lay before him, and ho was |j| endeavouring with a penknife to erase from ].l it the island of St. Helena. Wondering j| what he could be doing, I said to the :■§ second mate, "Shorten sail directly, Jlr H Jarvis, and I'll go below and tell the enp f| tain." So the watch was called up. and 1 9 left the po'ij. and vt-alked aft into the cabin. in I ought, properly to have described Cap- J tain 'Vims?mug to you when I commenced. H By way of repairing the omission, however, 'S * must infirm you that in appearance he | m wasn in in nf considerable muscular strength, I J ho was pjsse^ed of a tolerable education, I(I and generally considered a first-class navi lil gator, and was reputed to be steady and IB eminently trustworthy ;ho fcad already jj made two passages in this very ship, which if had been fortunate in the weather experi -3 enced by her on both occasions. i When I entered the cabin the captain ■ paUsel in his singular employment and | looked up. Seeing that it was I, he hastily B dropped tho knife, and said, "Do you want 4 mo?" in his usual tone. I replied that I VI had come to inform him that we were ■ shortening sail, and fully expected an ex -3 plosion of anger on his part at thi3 contra a diction of his orders ; but I was mistaken. ■ "Sit down, Wyndham," taid he; "I |1 want to consult you on a delicate point." '! Wondering what he could mean, I | obeyed, and seated myself at some 'ittlc H dist'ince from him. I observed, that he jl seomed to avoid the steady gaze I fixed up 'M on him, .-.nd glanced uneasily about tho || cabin as if ho feared interruption. 'H " You must know," began the captain, m "that some years ago my grandmother ,M died, and loft mo by her will a large estate |B - in Scotland and the Island of St. Helena." fS If ever I opened my eyes widely in my fa life I did on hearing Captain Armstrong, ;,1 in tho gravest way imaginable, repeat the .1 jtbove words. I immediately saw that I I had to deal with a man in one of the most ■■■jj dangerous forms of lunacy, namely, mad on ;| one point, but sane on every ether. The a full dangers of my position flashed across H my mind on the instant, and I perceived 'M : tho necessity of caution, and of showing 3 apparent acqu'escsnee in whatever he might ji cay. So I rep/es^ed the exclamation about ■ to rise to my lips, and merely nodded an a affirmation. The captain went on : « - "I peiceive you are astonished that so si undistingrishedan individual should have I been left so large a legacy ; but when you U take into consideration the fact that I am 1 at the preaeni- moment the rightful heir to 'M the crown, you will perhaps see less cause 'Jj to be surprised. However, it is needless to J|J enter into these little family affairs, so I !i will come to the matter I wish to consult you on. A few days ago I received a com js inunication from my grandmother." " But I thought you said she was dead ?" I could not forbear interrupting. "Exactly so. She, however, thought fit, as I tell you, to pay me a visit a few nights since, and told me that, as I had acted against her express directions in allowing tho present usurper to remain on the throne, she had caused the island to be removed, M and that all search for it on my part would I be useless. That her words were but too I true our present position is a too Ba,tis h tory proof. For two days 1 have carefully S worked the reckoning, and find that wo 1 have actually passed twice over the former i site of the island. But I don't intend to I give up the chaso altogether, and I have li^.. j'is* altered course to catch it; if we shorten "*"" b iil we shall probably be too late, for she will have moved it again, and our labour «^ will have been in vain. It was on this point 1 wished to ask your advice, as we must catch tho island, or we shall die for want of water." I listened in silence to this extraordinary speech, and by tho time he had finished had resolved how to act. To have attempted force would have possibly led to disturb ing the crew and passengers, and to consult men just awakened from a sound sleep would have been useless, as people seldom have all their wits about them at that time. O;ie night could do us no very great harm ; so I determined to try and persuade him to intrust me with his orders, promising to make all right, and in the morning take s if.'h steps as might seem advisable, with 'i t'ifl concurrence of the other officers and passengers; so I quietly replied, "I quite sympathise with your determination, Cap iiiin Armstrong. If, as you say, we vivst find the island, I do not see that we could do better than we are doing. I will see that all possible sail is carried. By-the by, have you any objectioii to lotting me ccc your day's work ?" "None --it all," replied the captain; "there it is." I ran my eye over tho lijnires, and per ceived that lie had actually falsified the calculation in such a manner as to place us about a hundred and twenty miles to the ■ gouthwm-d of our proper position. To argue the point, however, would, I felt, bc° utterly useless, fo I said : "If you ; ■ intend to keep the morning watch, sir, you > had better turn in fur an hour ; and I think it would be as well not to mention anything about tl>l-- to the passengers. They might ;. ". not ?cc the necessity " "Very true," said tho captain; "I will not. Perhaps! a» you say, too, it will be as well to have n nap before I go on deck. Goodnight." I left the cabin, and again joined the second mate on the poop. °He looked at me as. much as to say " Well J" I - "you can go below if you like, Mr Jarvis," saiii I, "as I will look out for the rest* of the v/atch. The captain's reasons for acting as he did will bo satisfactorily explained to mor-ow." .1 said this to prevent any hint of the true I state of affairs t'fetting forward among tho I.; men. Mr Jfirvie did not need to bp. told I, - twice hy migiJt ko below, but disappc-urtd l^ immediately.| ■& !." 'You must understand that I was in a very H disagreeable position. To dispossess a H superior officer of his authority is always a H delicate matter, unless very plain cause can

be shown for such n proceeding. I had had proof plain enough myself ; but tho danger in the present case was that the captain should yet have cunning enough to por snado others of his sanity, perhaps even by an utter denial of all I could allege. I resolved not to call him at four o'clock, at all events, but to keep the morning watch myself, not a little anxious as to the eventa lik"ely to follow. Contrary to my expecta tion," the captain did not make his appear ance on deck. At half-past seven I was relieved, and at eight sat clown to breakfast with the passengers. As ho had not even then made his appearance, I desired his steward to go into his cabin and sen if he was awake." Presently the man returned, and with alarm depicted on his countenance, said : " Please, sir, I'm afraid tho captain a ill • he's in a fit, or something." One of the passengers, who was a young surgeon offered to go in to him and ascertain what, was tho matter. Ho came back in a fow minutes, and drawing mo aside, whispered : " The cap tain has a violent attack of brain fever !" To say that I did not experience n feeling of relief when I hoard these words would ho untrue. I immediately sent for the second mate and carpenter, and in their presence and that of tho passengers related the extraordinary occurrence of the night. 1 was unanimously requested to make the island as speedily us possible,; and such arrangements as were possible having been made for nursing our unfortunate captain, ire altered course, and in a couple of days anchored in St. Helena Roads. Wo then obtained additional medical help; mid as soon as the captain could bo moved ho was sent ashore to the military hospital. As there was no one else who could take charge of the ship, and the crew unanimously expressed their confidence in myself, I resolved, on my own responsibility, to tnko the ship on to Xcw Zealand, tho doctors having given it as their opinion that the captain's recovery would be a matter of some months. So, having taken in water and stoves, we left the island after a slay of six days. —Prize Tit Bit.

"A CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS. IN EGYPT."

An Amorlcan View" of Egyptian Affairs.

" A CoSFEDKRATK Soldikh in Egypt" is the rather peculiar title which General W. W. Loring has given to his record of ten years' service under tho ex-KhodivO of Egypt. The title is its chief objectionable fcaturo It has never been regarded as any credit for a man who received four years' free educa tion in the art of war from his Government to take up arms in order to destroy tlmt Government. This is what tho title of Con federate means when applied to an ollicer of the regular army who broke his faith to go with his State : hence we fail to under stand why a man should care to parade the title when there is no special call for it. Barring this blemish, however, the book gives a loadable account of EgypUhe man ners and customs of the people, tho causes which led to the abdication of Ismail, the revolt of Arabi Pasha, tho Abyssinian war in which tho Khedive's forcua were so badly beatew, with much information in regard to the Soudan and the future of the Egyptian question. But this information forms only a small part of the book. Tho design has evidently been to make the volume popular, hence there i-i a great deal of historical pudding which has no place in it, and the larger part of tho illustrations aro not in teresting and have no bearing on tho test. Thus, sandwiched between chapters on "The Kile Lands and Their Cultivation' and "Tho Overthrow of Ismail" is a chap ter on "Ancient Egypt," and a sketch of Arabi Pasha's dieastraus revolt is followed by "A Journey to Mount Sinai." This hurts the book as a literary work, but will probably help its sale among people who desire a comprehensive sketch of Egypt. Fora man whose trade is war, General Loring handles the pen skifully. Many of his descriptive passages are remarkably well done. Wo could call the reader's attention especially to "the chapters describing the rise and nils of Mehemct Ali, the work and overthrow of Ismail Pasha, and tho chap ters which record the dwasTOus expedition against King John of Abyssinia. General Loring served under the ex Khedive for ten years, beginning in ISU9. He was brought into intimate personal relations with a large number of pashas of high rank. He seems to have got on well with the Egyptian olli cers and to have done much to improve the morale of the army, whose inspection for several years was his chief duty, lie gives the best idea of the Egyptian character that wo have seen, and ho also affords the fairest means of judging the merits aud defects of Ismail's system. Naturally, he is a warm admirer of the ex-Khedive, whom liv repre sents as a liberal-minded ruler, crippled by British grsed and rapacity, just as he \wn fairly emerging from tho sea of debt with which his generosity and enterprise had al most overwhelmed him. The summary of the methods by which the British officials succeeded in forcing Ismail to abdicate will not furnish pleasant reading for tho Eng lish; but all the facts bear thestamp of truth, and the exposure of the frauds by which the gigantic debt was piled up has been made bt?ore by British writers wl\o did not share the national desire to spoil the Egyptian under the guiso of civilisation. Of the 6450,000,000 which the English and French bondholders claim to have loaned to Egypt there is nothing to show that more than $225,000,000 was ever received, and of this only 180,000,000—which vent to wards tho digging of the Suez Cuual—was ever expended for tho improvement of Egypt. Tho Sultan protested against the last three loan*, but a sop was given to him in the shape of tho royul backsheojh of §4,500,000, and the unspeakable Turk held his tongue thenceforth. The British, after saddling the country with this enor mous debt, quartered upon the land 1,325 imported office-holders, whose aggregate salaries amounted to $1,(1(55,000., These

men simply performed tho work which wa-

equally well done before this by a few Coptic clerks on small salaries. The war which resulted in so much suffering to the Arab population and so much misery to foreigners in Egypt is condemned in unmeasured terms by the author, who declares that it was forced upon the country by the in trigues of the British, who hoped in this way to secure complete control of the rev enues of Egypt. Of Arabi Pasha he says : " Though the ostensible reason for mak ing war was to protect Tewfik, theallyofthe bondholders, against the military, the real reason was that the notables claimed the right to legislate upon the unassigned rev enues of Egypt in the budget, which might interfere with the pay of the 1,325 foreign officers forced upon tho country. The acl of the controllers iii,orderingTowfiktodrivc Arabi Pasha out of Cairo, for fear he -might influence tho notables in their legislation upon tho pay of theso officials, was an acknowledgment that lie was a great politi- ■ cal leader, and it influenced the entire people of Egypt to consider him as such. There can bo no question that Arabi Pasha was opposed to the massacre of Christians, and did all he could to prevent it; and it is certain that he was in no manner concerned in the burning of Alexandria; In a word, he was honest and humane, and carried on war as best ho could, according to the usages of civilised nations—at least, so far as can be learned from any evidonce that has been published, and ho is entitled to credit for saving tho Suez Canal from injury under extraordinary provocation, it matters not from'what motive."

The second part of the volume is a record «f "Military Experiences in Abyssinia." The author was chief of tho foreign staff which accompanied Eatib Pasha in the campaign against King John in 1875, Ho had expected to have the chief coijitiiaiid, but it was thought better for tho esprit de corps of the army to have an Egyptian at its head. So a fine body of men, well drilled and equipped, went forth" into that rugged country under tho leadership of as arrant a coward as ever disgraced a uniform. The result was thirt the men, seeing tiie pol troonery of their chief and of the other native oiSbire, became demoralised, and in passing through a steep defile an entire regiment was stampeded by some of the large baboons of the country, who threw stones down the hillside. When a decisive engagement occurred, tho warliko Abyssin iana butchered the Egyptians like sheep, and a native officer, with 2,500 picked men in a fort overlooking tho field of slaughter, did not lift.a hand to help his countrymen. The author's account shows very clearly that the Egyptian cannot be depended upon to fight unless ho is behind solid breast works and his retreat is. cut off. Certainly the story of this campaign is the worst in dictment that could be brought against the Egyptian character, for it is a revolting record of almost incredible incompetency of officers and of cowardice among the rank and file. Yet, when the commander had led tho largest part of his lorco into the defile where they were butchered, he sent back lying bulletins describing hi 3 great victory, and on his return to Cairo he was saved from tho punishment which he so richly deserved through the harem influence that he brought to bear upon Olio Khedive.

Public School Education a Peril To Civilisation.

Thk Boston " Herald "recently contained a communication entitled "A Word to A\ omen," in which the writer—herself the mother of several children who were attending public schools in that city—sont forth a warning voice to every mother in the land concerning the dangers which boset their daughters, ospocially, in con sequenco of tho vicious habits that prevail 'n tlie.se mixed schools. Hero is the heart-felt cry of a faithful mother who mourns over tho fato of her own neigh bours' children:—

' I want to appeal to tho women who euro for tho children, not only for our own, whom the watchful motherly caro cannot always save from the perils of tho world, but especially for tho thousands who have little lulp to inako them good and strong, except tho teachings and influences of the public schools- Oil, sisters, tho purity and power for good of this institution is weak ning rapidly. The community, full of necessary and unnecessary cares, seems blind to it, or hopeless about it and moves not. Whereas once ovory teacher took almost a parental oversight and thought for every nikrul and physical interest of their charge, from the hour in which tho children caiue from their homes until thoy re-entered them, and felt, as the nobls head of one of our normal schools oxpressed at a late convention, that ' responsibility is measured only by possible opportunity,' now, with a few exceptions, enforced obedience to school rules during school hours seems to be the sum of ondoavour.

"Charming lessons in some favourite science absorb tho frco hours of tho weak, which uro the teachers ' golden opportunity to impress never-to-bo-forgotten principles of morals, manners, and hoalth upon thoso young hearts and minds. For lack of these, thoy are being turned out n peril to civil isation. AYo-ikcned, body and nerve, by smoking, h$ beer, and by vilo reading, ihey feel unlit for work, and ready only to imitate tho heroes of their literature in gaining a living without labor, If gi.la.thoro aro equally imminent dangers of similar lending, of late hour, of walking tlio streets in the evening, of accepting the apparently harmless 'soda water' from aomo light stivut acquaintance. This is no newnpaper bugbear. It id knowledge gained by years of voluntary work and observation among, not only tho poopla of the North End, but the bettor working classes of tho West and South End. The children of thoso busy man and women have not had the watch, core and exhortation individually from mnstera and honoured men of tho School Board which tho parents had even fifteon or twenty years ago. And all tho school conventions of the country are beginning to wonder why tho.-o upon whom so much money has been spent arc :iot being turned o it more tit for citizenship. What answer ? "

Every word written by this mother is true. I'ublic school education in .rapidly becoming what she truthfully calls "nporil to civilisation." Such children as aro educated in pubic schools have no rovorenco for parental authority; they treat their parents as if they were inforior to them ; they seem to enjoy nothing that is pure and innocent, but all thoir pastime must bo tlavoiucd with blasphemy and corroded by vice. The books they read are rotten w'tli inimojftl tl\ou£,!its and unchustc sontimoutn j profanity and impurity aro known to them before they aro out of their pinafores ; and we see tho result of all such educittion.il training in the hideous.hidden sins of society in every Slate in the Union.

Civilisation, theroforo, cannot proxies* under .such a system of education as that curried on in public schools. Such itmti hitions may turn out "smart" scholars, but their smart items will lead them erontially to develop into wicked men and wanton women, to whom Ihe command* of (rod and the Christian rirtucd "ill become nil nbomi nation. Our asylums, hospital*, incline a.-ylums, and prisons aro rapidly lilllini; up wish cilncitod men and women, who*o very intelligence make them all tho moro dangerous to society. And it is in thi« light that wo rccogniso tho truth of tho assertion that lor want of religious and moral teaching the youth educated in publir schools will bccoinoa "peril to civilisation." —"San Francisco Monitor."

The Romance or a Bogus Lord.

New YiiHK, Juno 28.—The recent escapado of Walter Adams Mahew, nlins " Lord Abercromhy," has caused mucli gossip in society citclcc, where the pseudo lord ha.« been prominent for tho past mouth or 80. The fact that lie had been ejected from the Manhattan Beach Hotel was not admitted by the i>roj rietors. Tho claim of Alahew, alia'" Lord Abercromby, to tho title is ap parently without authority, in gpito of Lord Mandoville's indorsement. " Burkes Peer age" strangely enough omitted Mahew'g name and title from the list of the English nobility, but it is possible that Burko may have overlooked him. Mahew, alias Lord Aberc omby, came to t is country from England in January, 18S3. Then he was simply known as Walter Adams Mahew, a young English gentleman. Ho went to Boston, « hero ho remained until October of that year, ileantimo he exhausted his supply of money and came to this city. Ho was without enough money to pay for a de cent lodging. He said, however, that he expected a remittance from England which would set him on his feet again. One dry, while at the Battery, he made the acquaintance of a negro named James Dudley, who kindly gave him shelter. A short time afterwards the alleged English lord was arrested on complaint of the negro Dudley, who charged him with stealing. He was subsequently leleosei through tho efforts of his friends. Previous to his arrest Mahew lived a fast life in this city. When he had money he spent it in dissipation and with fast women. When his money gave out he lived on his wit 3. At one time he entered a restaurant with a very pretty woman of shady reputation, and they ate and drank the best the restaurant afforded. Tho bill amounted to .sl2, but young Mahew, who did not have a dollar in his pocket, re quested the proprietor to "chalk it up." He was unceremoniously ejected from the place, and warned never to come there again, and he did not. In January last Mahew rented and fur nished a hands line flat on West Sevententh ptreet, where ho lived with the woman whom ho introduced g his wife. Mahow then let out tho secret that he wan Lord Aborcromhy, and said he had concealed hin idontily in order to escape vulgar notoriety. His eiicunntances had gono through a com plete transformation. lie had plenty of money and spent it lavishly. The secret of his acquired wealth, however, was easily explained. Ho had inherited an estate from his grandfather, whoso name was Adnrnx, which he had converted into cash amount ing to £5,500. He also inherited an estate from his father, but it was so fixed he could not sell it, but only draw the income.

It was on tho strength of this fortune that Walter Adams Malieiv suddenly blossomed into Lord Abercromby, but what appears strange is that Lord Mande.ville, who married a, lady connected with the Vander bilt family by marriage, should recognise Mahew as Lord Abercromby. Lord Mande ville cays lie went to school with the young man at Eton and know his family. How ever, Lord .Vaudeville introduced tho all leged lord to the best people, and he became a sort of lion. Being a good-looking young man, ho soon became a favourite. He was well educated and had travelled pretty well all over the world. In addition to his flat, ho had rooms in the Hodman House, and, until Thursday, rooms at the Manhattan Beach Hotel. It was at tho latter place he was brought into prominence on account of the scene in which, it is said, two women took part. He was stopping there with a woman he introduced as. his wife, but n gentleman who has known him since hi* arrival in this country says he is not married. Mahew's hasty departure from Manhattan beach caused considerable comment, but the hotel would not admit that he had left at their request.

THE ENGLISH CHURCH IN JAVA.

The Island of Java, situated within six degrees of the Equator, is one of tho most beautiful tropical countries in the world. It is a long, narrow stretch of country, having an area about equal to that of the North Island of Now Zealand. Right through the centre runs a range of lofty mountains, in which thero are about forty volcanoes, and many of theso are liablo to break out afresh at any moment. Only last August fifty thousand souls perished within sixty miles of Batavia by the oruption of Krakatoa. Java is a densely-populated country, and although belonging to the Dutch, tho European inhabitants are comparatively atnull in number, According to last year's census, tho natives numbered over twenty millions, whilst tho number of English on tho whole of the island was not much more than one hundred persona. More than half of theso livo in the city of Bataviu, and tho remainder in another largo town on tho coast culled Sourubaya. In such a small community as this, it is a gratifying token of the hold our Church has upon its scattered members on a foreign shoro, as well as a mattor for deep thankfulness, that these sixty persoi.i at Batavia should not rest content without Church privileges. They obtain no pecuniary help from any of the Societies at home, bus bear the whole of the oxpenses thoinsolves. i'ew rents arc unknown, the amount required being raised by voluntary contributions each year. In addition to tliis, the members of the Church, following tho Apostolic custom of not neglecting the widows or those in need, charge themselves with tho payment of three annuities of .£SO a year each to threo ag 1 women who aro unable to provide for themselves.

Java does not appear to have been included in any of tho neigh bouring Dioceses, but is now considered to be under the jurisdiction of Bishop Hose, tho occupant of the adjacent See of Singapore and Sarawak. The church itself is situated in one of the best suburbs of Batavia, and was opened some forty years ago by an archdeacon from Calcutta. It is a'strong stone building, exactly suited to the climate, with wide verandahs and lofty pillars outsido, and has all tho surroundings of a tropical country. Cocoa nut palms, with banana, bamboo, and other native trees nnd shrubs, moke up quite a picturesque churchyard. Internally the church has a much moro ecclesiastical appearance than outside, and it consists of a nave, chancel, and two smull transepts. It is seated with chairs, and has accommodation for a congregation of eighty-eight; which is more than enough for the little community, except at the great festivals, when some of the Dutch are attracted to tho bright, hearty services, In its proper position at the west ond, close to tho main entrance, stands the stone font. In addition to tho pulpit and reading desk, thoro if also a lectern, at which some members of tho congregation used to read tho lessons for mo on Sundays. During my chaplaincy none but regular communicants woro allowed to take their turn in read ing. Tho most striking featuro in our little church was tho white Italian marblo with which the central way and the chancel were paved. Owing to tho smallness of our numbers, our musical arrangements woro nothing to boast of, but we always tried to have a bright and hearty service, and sometimes ventured on chanting tho I'snims. Tho commui'tty consisted chiefly of young men engaged in large mercantile houses, and I havo pleasant recollections of some of my evening services, attended almost entiroly by them.

The Bataviou climate has always boon proverbially unhealthy. When Capt. Cook put in thero iv tho Endeavour on his way homo from his first Now Zealand discoveries, in 1770, thirty of his ship's company, including tho surgeon, fell victims to tho Java climate. Since then matters havo somewhat improved ; but oven now it ie not all that can bo desired. Tho damp heat of Batavia is very weakening after long residence, and cholera is no stranger. The latter carries oil' its victims very suddenly. Ono especially rapid c«so occurred last September, whon one of our little community was taken. He complained of fooling unwell at noon, left his office and wont homo, and died tho same evening. Tho next morning, just as the sun was rising, wo laid his body to rest—a stranger in a strange land, All the English in Batavia paid the last tribute of respect, nnd according to a peculiar Dutch custom, thoy all came in evening dress. The following Sundny in church, as we thought of the ono who had so unexpectedly boon culled away, there was » depth of meaning in tho Litany as wo prayed, ' From sudden death, pood Lord, deliver us.' Just before I left Batavia last January, the Bishop of Singapore paid us a visit, and took part in our Epiphany services. The pre vious evening there had Dcon a Confirmation, when I was able to present ono adult candidate for the holy rite, -« Dutchman, married to an English lady, and anxious to join our Chinch. Ho re ceived his first communion at the last celebration tfhich I had in Javn.

Another sorvice of no little interest to mo was ono that I held last year on board (I.M.S. Mwjpie. This vessel was lying at anchor one Sunday in Batavia Roads, and there being no chaplain belonging to it, I gladly went off and conducted sorvico on deck Tho captain read the lessons, and ono of the lieutenants officiated at tho harmonium, and altogether the service was a very hearty one. A morn reverent nnd attentive congregation I hnvo never preached to. Afterwards, in tho captain's cabin, there was* a celebration of the Holy Communion, at which a good number of tho crew com municated. There was a branch of the Church of England Tem perance Society on board, under tho management of one of the ollicers, and ninny of the men, 1 was told, woro total abstainers.

The Dutch Church in Java ha» no hold upon tho people what ever. There are two churches ill Batavia in which a single service is held every Sunday morning, and these have very poor congrega tions. The chnrrhos themselves aro massive stone buildings, in no degree suggestive either of worship or devotion, and the ser vices are cold air! formal ones. The more ancient of the two was built in 10'J.'!, and remains very much iv its original state. There is no communion table, and the most prominent object in the church is a lofty pulpit, elaborately carved and highly coloured. Tho natives of Java aro hix Mahoinmcdans. A pilgrimage to Mecca at once constitutes a man a priest, or htttljl, as he is called. Their places of worship, called .Viwi/t'/.t, are plain structures, mostly of bamboo, and totally devoid of any interior fitting* or decorations. Tho people go from ono year's end to tho oilier with little or no religions observances. Everything is dono by proxy, and, except through tho kiulit, there seouis to be no menus of com munication between the followers of tho false prophet and their God —Allah. At the same time it is only just to mention that though exceedingly superstitious, they aro a quiet, temperate, and in offensive race, anil ono which would put many baptised Christians to shnmo.—Rov, I'hilip Nealo in tho "Church Gazette"

LETTER FROM BISHOP SELWYN.

Bishop Sklwyn, writing from Port Pnttoson (nbnut S. lat. IS") on June 14, says :—I hnvu had n pleasant stay at Santa Miiria (in tho Hanks' Group, about S. lat. 13*), where everything i-< going on well. At Lakona I baptized 3."> urluliH—»uc)i ft bright, hearty BQl'\ ice — who bail been most constant in tlioir attendance. I have very pood hopes of them. Mai™ ia doing very well there, and I hope to ordain him at tho end of tho year. I have most cheering accounts from Penny and Knye, and very fair from Comins. Kaye soya :—' During tho la*t week I s|>cnt two days at tho place where (loinmodoro Goodenough wan killed (Santa Cruz, about S. lat. 11*). The reception I met with was very good indeed, and the head man gave mo on leaving a large pig. . . . Ono of tho visitors at thin feast was a man who whs shot three times by that man-of-war .schooner (the Saudjly) ; how he lived, I cannot make out. Ten were killed, he says, for no reason at all, mo these ten had to be repaid by wiping out the next whites. This is strictly in accordance with their ideas of justice. The next comers wore tho Pctirl'i boat with tho Commodore. At first they were afraid to begin, .seeing guns in the boat; but thinking they wero going to get away with tho boat, a man who had lost his brother by tho sehoonor's firo, shot tho first arrow. This of course meant a tight; and tho rest you know. They tell me tho big ship was. good, but they had their peoplo to settle for. On Juno 5 wo stood over to Nukapu (whore Bishop I'atteson wns killed in 1871), and I went in there. (Mr Kayo was accompanied by Natci, chief of Nelua, his own placo.) Tho peoplo wish ou to come, and put up anything you like, nnd say they will look after it. They gavo me two pigs, and 1 gavo them a present nil round. One man is coming to Norfolk Island, as a visitor (he deserted, as his heart failed him, nt Nufiloli), and has promised mo faithfully two boys when ho cornea bunk.' Mr Kayo describes a school of 40 youngsters and many adults at hi» place, so that tho outlook is most cheering. _Mr Penny writes most hopefully of tho Florida district, and especially of Bngotu ; where a great chnngo has taken place since the death of Bern, the great chief t/iere. This man, though friendly with us, always held aloof, and was tho cause of many horrors thero, some of which Penny described last year. Penny writos;— 'Bora's death was very remarkable. Hugo say's that at least a thousand people were collected outsido tho house. Boforo he died he called Soga and Voo to hear what he had to say—" Let no one be killed for mo," ho said; "don't send out a Tala (ahead hunting fleet), don't burn down anyone's houso or cut down cocoa nuts ; all that is past away." This dying command has been carried out with ono unfortunate exception. As soon as Bera was dead some one seized a tomahawk and brained a woman, but he was heavily fined by Soga, who has carried out Bern's wishes. Soga is most anxious to have a teacher settled at his placo, and Deir will probably go there.' This is most cheering news, as Soga succeeds to all Bera's power, which is very great, so we shall havo his influence with us and not against us. Here in the Banks Islands the Mota peoplo have nearly rebuilt their church, aud at Ara and Motalava they have built three. Two are most capital structures, with stone sides, plastered together with lime mortar. At Malwo there is a new church, and things are going on well everywhere, thank God.—" Church Gazette."

LECTURE BY THE BISHOP OF MELBOURNE ON SCIENCE AND RELIGION.

TitK Bishop of Melbourne delivered a lecture some time since on ' Religion and Science' in the Theatre Royal, Castlomaine, about 200 persons being present. The Bishop said :— By religion I shall understand in this lecture the soul's apprehension of hoi' relation to Clod, nnd by science a systeraatised knowledge of phenomena. Between these two then, thus defined, I affirm that contradiction is impossible. You know that Copernicus wrote n treatise to prove 'hat tho earth turns on her axis, that tho sun and the stars do not turn round tho earth, they only seem to do so. Now, hero appeared to bo a clear contradiction between tho .Bible and science. Which was right '! Koligious mon said the Bible was right ; .scientific: men said, when hoy dared, that science was light and the Bible wrong. Again, 'Horn people hold that both were right—that sceptically the earth moved, and that theologically it stood still.. A learned teacher in the University of J'aiis, being accused of errors, defended himself by observing that ' lie had taught the doctrines found heretical as not theologically but only philosophically true.' Nor is this straugo quibbling spirit altogether dead. in London 1 belonged to a clerical club. At one of our meetings the question was discussed whether the author of tho (iospel according to St. ■lohn was also the author of tho Apocalypse. At last a well-known doctor of divinity explained his own position thus j—' As a scholar [ bollovo that tho author of St. John wan not; tho author of tho Apocalypse, but as a theologian J have an equally firm conviction that lie was.' Of course in too many cases in tin; middle ages the doctrine of twofold truth was a conscious falsehood, advanced only as a defence against tho fanaticism of {hose limes. Ciiuwonrii, of cosmical systems, pronounces that of Copernicus to be tho one most thoroughly representing tho facts, lint add-, ' One must adopt that of Tyeho Brahc, because the Bible attributes motion to the *un.' Hobbos, the cynical philosopher, accepted miracles, but com pared them to pills which one must swallow unchowud, because they woro prescribed by the State. In other words, putting SUte fo r Church, he hold tho old doctrine of twofold truth. Such tactics are HO longer possible. We, iv this nineteenth century, speak right nit with the ring of honest conviction ; to the same mind a thing cannot be both true and false, and therefore it seems to me that <cionco and religion contradict each other. Wei!, then, if they are not both right on Huch a subject aH that of the rotation of the earth, which is wrong? I Bay at once tho Bible. Well, then, it is urged you give it up as a revelation from (Jod. Bcfoio answering this !et us understand what Is meant by ' revelation.' By revelation, j mean a disclosure by tho Spirit o" God to the spirit of Home indi vidual, of some truth as to tho relation between time nnd eternity, between man and Clod. If God and eternity arc not involved in any relation, there is no need of revelation to disclose it. If it bo a moral relation between man and man, conscience can deal with it. If it be a relation botwoon man and nature, or of natural phenomena with each other, reason can deal with it; and it should be an axiom with overy reasonable man that what wo can discover by ourown powers we aro left to discover by our own powers, Then how in it possible that thoro should bo any conflict between icienco and religion ? Seionco confines itself to natural phenomena, their relations and succession, nnd with these religion has nothing to do. There is no science taught in tho Bible. Whou prophetic men introduce scientific conceptions into their utterances, theso are tho scientific conceptions of their own days, and aro introduced not to give scientific information, but to illustrate some transccn dontaltruth. When, for instance, tho I'salmist declares that tho sun makes the whole circuit of tho heaven, distributing his light ■md hoat to all the world, this is not to announce a scientific truth, but to illustrato tho transcendental truth that tho heavens declare the glory of God, and that tho beneficent heat of tho sun is a manifes tation of tho goodness of its Maker. How is this religious truth dterod by a change of our scientific conceptions ? Suppose 1 want to say in the language of tho nineteenth century that tho blessings scattered over all lands by the sun are a proof of God's goodness, I should say tho Creator of tho world has made tho earth revolve on her nxis, nnd, by nuccetwively exposing all |M«ta of her Iltlfuco to the sun, furnishes to all her inhabitants tho blessing of light and heat. Oh ! praise tho Lord for His goodness, and declare tho wonders that Ho doeth for the children of men. But, is the reli gions truth less clearly and powerfully uttered when it clothes it.self in the language of ancient science, and says that this good ness «hows itself by the revolution of tho sun round the earth? Surely, the distinction Is clear enough. It was not the put pose of the sacred writer to dotormino tho quostion whether the earth moves rouiill on its own axis or tho sun moves round (lie earth. His object wa.s to nay that tho benefits derived from the movement (hoH'ovcr inndo) como from (iod, and declare His goodness. And this is equally true, however wo explain the movement; equally true whether illustrated by the science of the fifteenth century before Christ or tho nineteenth century after. Tho Bible is given to us to teach religions truth, not natural. It only refers to material facts in order to illustrate spiritual facts, and there fore it describes matorial facts au they me conceived by those to whom the revelation is addressed. Thero is no natural science in tho Bible, and thorofore thoro can bo no opposition to science thoro. This is equally truo of overy religious textbook, so far as it is re ligious. Well, but it has been objected, if religion does not con tradict scienco, may not scionco contradict religion? Yon said that religion was tho 'ipprohonsion of a relation between the soul and God. Suppose, now, that scienco proves that there is neither soul nor God : your relation then would bo between nothing and nothing. My answer is that science can never do any such thing. Scionco can only deal with appearances in our consciousness, and theso can never suggest, ami much U«w prove, that there are no -inch oxlstoncos as soul and God. Nature furnished to us nothing but molecular vibrations, and before thot>c can become sensation* they must bo interpreted by us. We are so constituted that we must interpret one set of vibrations to mean hunt, and another set to moan colour. Our sensations contain two distinct elements ; molecular vibrations supplied from without, nnd subjective inter pretation of those vibrations supplied within. How were sensations arrested, examined, classified, reduced to law ? By means of certain fundamental intuitions of ours, tho intuition of equality, the intuition of substance, the intuition of cause, the intuition of contradictories. Applying then theso powers of our mind to our sonsutionn, wo deduce from them what wo call knowledge. Wo aro now in a position to investigate tho question—Can science disprovo tho oxistonoo of tho soul or God? If thero bo molecular vibrations, must thero not bo molecules to vibrato, and somothing to sot them in vibration ? What shall we call that which vibrates? Men call it matter. What shall we call that which sots matter iv vibration ? Men call it forco. Do we know what matter is, or what forco is ? Not in tho least. In the same way, if there be subjective intorprotation, must there not bo an interpreter 1 If thero wore fundamental intuitions, must thoro not bo something to concoivo or behold them? Call it mind, or soul, or what you will. But why not call it matter? For a very good reason. Matter, as fur as wo know it, can vibrate but cannot interpret. Professor Clifford himsolf acknowledged that the phenomena of matter and of mind lay in soparato planes. But call tho ego what you will, it exists—for it interprets and beholds. It is just so with the existence of God. Physical and chemical phenomena compel us to infer tho existence of material atoms. Small as these are, Clerk Maxwell shown that they have all the evidences of manufactured articles. They did not exist from all eternity. Well, then, how did they cotno into existonco ? Did they creato themselves ? Did they select thqir own actual properties before they were ? That is absurd. Then it follows that they wore made by a mind existing before them, which gave them all their potencies. Tho oxistenco of such a mind is an inovitablo inference, just as is tho existence of mattor. That thero is a God wo are certain, but what Ho is wo can no moro tell than what mattor is, or forco, or soul. Now, if these things bo so, scienco can never disprove the existence of the soul and God. Those belong to the mysterious realities which lie bc'.iind experience, and with which science, whon she is sano, con fesses her inability to deal. 'Keligion and science,' says Herbert Spencer, ' aro necessary correlatives ' —things which can never como into conflict, because they mutually imply each other. Thoy aro twin sisters, each of them beautiful, each of them heaven-born. If tho one builds for us a tomple of truth, the other founds for us a kingdom, Keligion affirming what Scionco will never contradict, that we were mado in the image of God, that wo can oven in this world bo restored to that image, and may become, in tho world boyond the shadows, heirs of immortality. — Church 2i rcws (Melbourne).—" Church Gazette."
