RELIGION ARD bCIEKCE. It is asserted by M. Gaitl’e that cobalt is rnuea more strongly magnetic than nickel. The number of church memltera in Madagascar has it err eased in 10 years from 37,113 to 71,585. There is an attempt to be made to organize an exhibition of patents in Madrid similar to that held in Frankfort The latest intelligence from Bishop Schernsschewsky, of China, is to the effect that his condition is somewhat improved. The Rev, C. F. Flichtner has been appointed Foreign Missionary Secretary ad interim of the Protestant Episcopal Church. The Church of England Zenana Missionary Society has just sent out 17 woman missionaries to India, 13 o whom go out for the first time. The members of the Presbyterian dongregation of the Rev. A. B. Mackay, Montreal, have given the past year $140,600 for theological education. The Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburg reports 48 clergy, 74 churches ami chapels, and s,B3Beemmunicants. The confirmations during the year wen--416. It is said that boys and girls who have walked a distance of t>U or 96 miles to attend te Telugu Baptist Schools in India have been regretfully turned away for lack of accommodation. There is a congregation of colored Catholics in Marion County, Ky.. with 179 communicants. Recently a jubilee mission was held for t hem, at which all but five aie said to have attended. A meeting is to be held in Cambridge, England, to express sympat: y with the Oid Catholic moveun i Bishops Rein kens and Herzog nan promised to attend, as also have it< Bishops of Ely and Winchester. It is stated that there are in Great Britain 355 Baptist preachers who were trained in Mr. Spurgeon’s Pastors’ College, and the result of their labors has been the gaihering in of 43 339 persons by baptism into the churches. On the 10th of November the four hundredth snniversary of Luther's birth will be celebrated. Seveia. publications of Luther’s works and of works about him are to be uro ugh t out in connection w ith this event. The fiftieth annual Episcopal Diocesan Convention of Ainbam.i reported 27 clergy and 3.615 eommuiiinieants. The confirmations the past year number 216 and the baptisms 259. The total of contributions was $47,546. From surveys taken in thePtovince of Ufa, Russia, it appears that the former forest area of 17,577,000 acres has now been diminished by more than 3,500,000 acres, and yet tne ; tfpulatlon is only three to the square mile. Last year the Germad wire mills supplied England with 30,00 n tons ol wire, and Russia with 40,000 tons, France received from Germany from 12,000 t<fls,oC6 tons of steel wire for sofa springs, and America not less than 30,000 from the same source. It has been found by Prof. Exuer, of Vienna, that galvanic elements farmed of three elementary substances, one of which is bromine or iod ne. give perfectly constant action, -ind that the electrcuiotiue forces c ires pond to the values of the ch-mieal processes. The average life of an English gold sovereign Is about 18 years—that is, the coin loses three-quarters of a grain iB weight in alone that length of time. It then ceases to-be legal tender. It is said that of the 11)0,0:10,006 pounds sterling of British gold coinage, 40 per cent, is worn down below the legal weight. , A tincture of Calabar bean has been fouad exceedingly efficacious in preserving entomological and other natural history specimens from the destruction caused by mites. It can also be used with advantage in keeping furs and other articles of dress from moths. A very small quantity is sufficient.. Lamp-black lias been found by M. K. Mereadier to act like selenium in radiophony. Instead of selenizingone of the surfaces of the double coil receivers he blackens it with the smoke of an ®il-lamp, taking due care however, not to carb niz« the parchment of paper which isolates the metallic coils from each other. ■

Paper has gone into use in some of the restaurants in Berlin as plates for dry or setni-dry articles of food. Tnere is "no reason why cheap paper cups properly glazed should not be employed at railroad stations so that passengers eould take a cup of coffee along with them instead of hastily drinking it at a lunch counter. There is no ivory waste. Even the powder is sold for making jelly. It is said that one leading cutlery firm io Sheffield made a calculation that to supply themselves with the ivory needed for their business they nead-ii 1,280 elephant* every year, and that, even with this number, the tusks were each estimated to weigh 28,1 4 ' pounds. M. Dumas is the President of the International Commission which has been organized in Paris for the observation of the next transit of Venns. The instructions have been drawn up, and they will be s, nt in aa early issue of the Comrtei Rendus to all astronomers and observatories. A complete scheme for international co-operation has been adopted. A Tale of Halcyon Days of Yore Recently’ we met our old friend, Governor Milledge Bonhm. of South Carolina, whom we voted for as major general of cavalry when we only sixteen years old. In those days South Carolina was truly a military State. Only a certain number of cavalry was"allowed 1 rode fourteen miles to miister in cavalry l«fore I was es the age requirec by law and thenttiey could not muster me to the infantry* I attended camp musters under Bonham, at one of which he and General Free Garvin were considered the l.est riders on the encampment, and in trying the speed of their horses General Garvin was thrown and seemed to be as “dead as a doornail,” The brigade surgeon could do nothing for him and Bonham said to Aikon, who waathenGovernor: ’By G —, tau!es-<we can stimulate him he will never come to. Get a bottle ot that old brandy.” A servant soon brought ft and Bonham, not waiting or a corkscrew, broke the neck of the bottle with ahorse pistol, filled a tumbler three fourths full of mellow twenty-year-old brandy, forced Garvin’s mouth open and poured it down him. In half an hour the old fellow was laughing and cracking jokes. Tlu»e nyrc glorious days’. 'liie strongest garrison in Germany is that of Berlin, which comprises fifteen battalion* of infantry, one battalion of rifles, three pioneer and railway baftalions, twenty-one squadrons of cavalry, and two regiments of field artillery while in the neighborhood of the capital—at Potsdam Snaadau and Charlottenburg—nim blttahoim of inf*’’""?- <”«* batealioi > and nineteen squadrons o are quartered, Sets oome the fist with a garrison o - 2**three, Mainz wit

sixty, Munich and Ulni with fiftynine each, Dresden with fifty-five, Konigsberg and Coblentz with forty each, Dantzle with forty.six. Madgelurg with forty five, Cologne with forty-four, Posen with forty, Hanover with thirty-nine. Breslau with thirtyseven, Rastatt with thirty-six, Neisse, Stettin and Ludwigsberg with thirtytwo each, Wesel and Potsdam with thirty-one each, Ingoldstadt with twenty-nine each and Spandau with twenty-eight squadrons, companies and batteries. Hindoo girls, says the St. James’s Gazette, are taught to think of marriage almost as soon as they can talk: indeed, they are often contracted in marriage at 6 years of age, ami go to live with their husband’s at 12 or 13. Before this, at the age of 5, they are taught to propitiate the gods in order to secure a good husband, and their little minds are distracted by the idea of what a model husband ought to be. The orthodox conception is a husband like the god Siva, who was holy, austere, advanced in years, and faithful and devoted to one wife, the goddess Doorga. Good little girls revolt at the idea of a husband marrying a second wife while the first is alive, and will consequently confess their anxiety to marry a faithful spouse like Siva; and they learn from their elders to utter the most vindictive curses against a rival wife. But lor all that, Krishna is the idol of Hindoo women, and he was anything but faithful to one wife. He not only kicked over milk pans, and ran away with the clothes of milkmaids when they went to bathe, but he danced and flirted with other men's wives, eloped with royal damsels, and married an infinite number of beautiful women. At Shelbyville, Ind., Frank Hemer and Louis Slarrietta, boys aged fourteen and ten respectively, quarreled over a game of marbles, when the younger boy started to run to avoid a fight. He was caught and held by another boy. while Herner ran up behind and stabbed Marrietta in the back, penetrating the lung. The b>y is not expected to live.. Florence Nightingale, 61 years old, looks to be about 40, and, though an invalid, has a fair, unwrinkled complexion, and weighs 165 pounds.

American Horses in England. What is the moral to be gleaned from this unusual excellence of Foxhall? We must not forget that, although the Americans began importing English thorough-breds as far back as the commencement of last century, they did not seriously address themselves to the task of raising blood stock until after the great civil war, which ended in April, 1865. That within fifteen years they should have been able to produce a Foxhall speaks volumes for the soil, water, and climate of Kentucky; and during the next twenty, thirty, or fifty years we expect that many as fine, or perhaps even finer, horses will be raised in the Western hemisphere. But it is probably due to English air, food, training, and riding that Foxhall is now what we saw him to be last Tuesday. It is not disputed that the blood of our English brood mares is purer than that of their American sisters, whose pedigrees in many eases “end,” as the phrase runs, “in the woods. But, as a climate in which thorough-bred foals may be dropped to advantage, we do not believe that anything more favorable can be found upon earth than the United States to the south of Mason and Dixon’s line. When Richard B insley Sheridan was buried in Westminister Abbey with splendid pomp and ceremony, although bailiffs struggled to tear the last blanket of his body while the breath was still in it, a witty Frence wag remarked that “France was the place for a man of letters to live, and England for him to die in. ’ Foxhall, in the same manner, has been ft rtunate in the place of his birth, and in that of his training. The Kentucky grass is the most nutritious in the world, but the English and Scotch oat far transcends the oat of the United States. In the management, training and riding of thor-ough-breds our horse loving cousins are still in their infancy, and Mr. Keene may well thank his stars that he sent Foxhall to England to be trained. The Grand Prix, the Grand Duke Michael Stakes, and the Cesarewitch have set the Kentucky breu colt upon the very highest pinnacle of equine glory; and it is a singular fact that, while Blue Gown, the best horse of his day, was in course of transportation across the Atlantic, at the bottom of which he now lies, Mr. J. R. Keene was at ti e same moment in possession of an American colt who within a year was destined to show himself equal, if not. superior, to Sir Joseph Hawley’s sturdy little Derby’ winner.—The London Field.

Mrs. Garfield’s Looks. To many who have asked us how Mrs. Garfield looks; has she changed, grown old or thin; is she sad and mournful, or does she ever allude to the death of her husband? We would say that she is the same brave woman. She looks a little thin and worn, a trifle grayer and graver; the color has all gone from her cheeks, and her hands are very thin, but she does not hesitate to speak of the recent past, although we hesitate to allow her to wring her heart by doing so. She has the appearance of one who has been thiough a lifetime of anguish. But instead of coming coming out bitter and malignant, rebellious and hatefuj toward God, as the author of all her sufferings, she recognizes Him as her loving friend and ever-present helper.—1 Mentor Letter to Cleveland Herald.

Your “Kendall Spavin Cure put the foot to the ground again, and, for the first time sin e hurt, in a natural position. For a family liniment it excells anything weever used Yours truly, REV M P BELL. Pastor M E ohuroh, Patten s Mills, N Y. Bakersfield. Vt, Dec 23. 1879. B J Kendall & Co, Gents—l wish to add my testimony in favor of your invaluable liniment, “Kendall's Spavin Cure " In the spring of 1872 I slipped on the ice and sprained my right limb at ths knee joint I was very lame and at times suffered ths i most excruciating pain. I wore a bandage on it for over a year, and tried most everything in my reach, but could find nothing that would give me permanent relief. When I overworked it would pain me very much. In April 1878 I began to think I should be a cripple for life; but having some of “Kendall s Spavin Cure" thought I would try it. I used one-third of a bottle, and experienced relief at once. The p»in left me and has not troubled ms ♦ince. 1 feel very grateful to you and would recommend‘Kendall s Spavine Cure to all who suffer with sprains and rheumatism. Yours truly, Mas. J. Boutkll. KENDALL’S SPAVIN CURE.

Decatu l May 5, 1881. ts The Boston Cochituate Water. The Providence Press tells the following story in relation to the water supply of Boston: “The purchase of clear spring water from country farmers by Boston hotel keepers has got one man into trouble. Deacon Dryasdust, having dropped into one of these hotels and called for a glass of water, was served with the new beverage and the novelty of its taste, as I compared with the compound cucumber and basswood extract that flows through the hydrants, caused the good deacon to rush off and swear out a warrant for the arrest of the hotel keeper for dispensing intoxicating drinks. It is true he had never tasted liquor in his life; but, having always lived in Boston, he was equally unacquainted with pure water.” Shares of the bank of France declined to 6,175 francs on the confirmation of the report of the appointment Maguin as governor of the bank.
