An epidemic of measles having broken ont among the Fiji Islanders and carried off many thousands of them, they attribute the disease to Divine anger against them for having accented annexation to England. Possessed by this de- lusion, they refuse medical aid. Many villages ‘have been eptirely depopulated. A Roman Catholic clergyman in Toledo, O., has in process of erection a building after a plan of his own, the purposs of which is to keep the young men of the parish indoors at pight. It ‘contwins large, brightly-ligthed, and well-venti- lated rooms, comprising & gymoasinm, bowling- alley, shooting-gallery, and smoking and read- ing-rooms. Mr. John Wannamaker writes to Mr. George . Stusrt, of Philadelpbis, in relation to Mesers. Moody and Sankey, that the most popular book in Loudon now is their bymn-book.

Ad. Neubsuer writes to the Academy, dating his letter from the Bodician Library, n relation to an importaut 33. of the Pealms which he has found in the possession of Rabbi Jacob Saphis, of Jerusalem. He assigns the date of the man- uscript to the eleventh century, acd shows that it exhibits important vatiations from the wce[;,l— ed text. He urges that adafinite revision of the transiation of the Old Testament ought not to Le made in the presence of such MS., but that competent persons ought to be sent out at once to ls"vlrh of the worla to make collations with old MSS. batare revisers settle the sense of ‘donbtful passages. The * Universal Church Chronicle,” published snnually at_Gotha and Hamburg, to which we bave sirsxdy referred, cortains many important facts in the religious hietqry of the past year.

One of the oldest incidents of the lats run of General Assemblies was the reply courteous of the Moderator of the United Presbyterian Assem- bly to President Taylor, of Wooster Univerrity, who represented the Presbyterian Church on that occasion. e Moderator of the U. P. Assombly, in telling of the love which bis charch bore 1o its larger sister, said: ‘A year ago, when trouble threatened your great denom- ination, no other Christisn body surpassed our ovm in praxiog for the success of Prof. Patton.” Not a vers happy allusion, considering, in the first place, that the trial didnot terminates as the T. P. Church had prayed. and, secondly, that Dr. Taylor humselt bad done lus praying on the otber side! It was a rather rough thrust st the President of Wooster College, aad at the Pres- brienan Church : but the latter may remember 1hat all its Pattonizing would not purchase equal {fraternal recoguition by the U. P. body so long a8 it aings sininl hymns.—Inde; £ . . WEY ME. DUDLEY WAS DNSUCCESSFUL. The !o\lo\riniéxuu-t from the Interior shows oy the Bev. ¥r. Dudley was in sister, **it isn’t meet in you to talk s0.” At s certain Protestant Episcopsl church in Boston the congregation revenge themselves on an inefiicient oboir by responding during the litany “ Lord, have mercy on our miserable singers.” A clerioal error—Mre. Malaprop presents her ocompliments to Mr. Punch, and begs to be in- formed whether the children of poor curates may properly be classed among the eurplice population. . A Kapsas woman offers to bet $50 that her husband can ‘‘cuss” a bushel of grakshoppers entirely ont of the country whila the people of’ Missouri aro fasting and praying a pné out of 8 10-acre wheat fiold. Affable but digoified Bishop to small daughter of the Vicar—*‘ My dear, have you ever seen a real live Bishop befors?” Bmall daughter- “QOh, yes, a good deal more ; 1've seen an Arch- bishop!” (Sudden collspse of the affable and diguified one). You may talk of your ragged edge of despair and all that till doomaday, but what is it com- pared to the feelings of the vestryman who, after relioving himself of the tortura of a new boot by siipping it off duxiv;g the services, finds himself unexpactedly called on to go around with the plate. Said a demare-looking stranger with a praver- book under his arm toap old resident of San Autonio, I'ex.: **Wnere can I find tho Methodist place of worship ?” * After you paes the sev- enth bar-room on this side of the street, striko scrosa and take up Soledad street, and you will find it 100 yards bevond the lest beer £aloon on the -me strect, nearly opposite & ten-pin alley,” wo s reply. _edar Falls Sunday-school man was latoly ....iing an ecloquent 8peech before a Sunday- School Convention in \Waterloo, Referring to boss who dido’t speod taeir Ssbbaths in thig useful fashion, be eaid: **Where do we find theso very boys on the holy Sabbath day ? Why, down by the Cedar River catchung froge. Naw, friends, we must turn 1ight in and belp them.” The fuony part of the audisnce thonghs he meant help cawch frogs, and their snickering brought the eloquent speach to a lame and im- potent conclusion.—Keokuk (la.) Gate City. When it was not as popular as now to have colored people in the ehurches, a colorad woman preeented herself for admiesion to Dr. Bsldwin's chorch, Boston. An influential member was greatly opposed to admitting ber. _ **Is not the pister's experience a good one?” asked the bland pastor. * It is well enough.” * Do you pot thiok she is & Chnstian?” — *‘Perhaps go.” W1t she is & Obristian, will she not go to Heaven ?" The man intimated that he did not know a8 he would care to go to Heaven if it was fall of negroes. Up to this tims the 2andidate had not spoken. She modestly said: * Well, ‘brudder, you go to Hell, you find dem dar too.” A certain minister, having become much ad- dicted to Jrink, bis Presbytery haa to intarfere and get the munister fo eign the pledge. i the minigter did, and promised that he would never again take drink under 2oy pretense what- ever. The minister certainly kept his word; but the result was, that the sudden reaction proved too much for him, and he took so 11} that the doctor had to be sent for. The doctor knew the habits of the man well, and informed the minister that he must just begin and take his toddy agmn. This the minister said be conld not do, a8 he had taken the pledge in presence of the Presbytery. The doctor rephed that he might get a bottla ar two quictly, and that pobody but himself (the minister) and the housekeeper wonld koow enythiog about it. “Man,” says the minister, *my housekeever is worse than all the Presbytery put together, so that wonld not do.” Howerer, it was arranged that the doctar was o bring io the whisky and sugar, and that the minisler was to make np the dy in the bedroom with the hot water that he slwaya got for shaving purposes in the morniug. The result was, the miuvister got speedily well, and one day, on going out, the doctorsaid to tha minister's housekeeper, ‘‘Well, t, your minister is quite himeelf again.” * There's naa doot aboot that, eir,” eho replied. “he's quite weel in body; but there's something gane far wrang wi' hie upper storv.” ‘ What's wrong there, Margaret:” asked the doctor. * Weal, sir, I dinna kep, but he asks for shavin' waler six or seven timea i’ tho day.” —— CHURCH SERVICES.

The fact is that London has hiad its sarfeit of semi-barbar- ous monarchs. Thers is s sort of s feeling that ‘we ' slopped oyer’ about the Shab. It wag.well enpugh to give the Grand Tysk a gor- geous welcome; but Loodoners geemed, when ‘was here, to take pains to comrengale their pride for baing so efusive by studioualy neglect- ing & gwarthy sovereigr almgst the Sultap’s equal in power, if not in rank—ths Khedjve Ysmail Pasha. ‘As for Barghash of Zanzibar, he is small polatoes after -the Uzars and the Shahs and the Bhedives. England bas taken shrewd advantage of the rizalry between the Sul- tan of Zanzibar and his Ixotber, the Sultan of Muscat. The history of this family is singular. The father of thesejtwo potentates, 8aid, nnited the crowns of the two nations in his own person. Hé was sn enterprising Arab, of warlike and sailorlike habits. But when he died hjs five un~ «xuly 8ops played sad havos with the fraternal af- fections. The eldeat, Thawaini, succezded to the .throns of Muacat ; the fourth, Majid, to that of Zanzibar, Tnen the third son, Turki, tried fo get Mugcat away from the eldest bpother; while Burghash (our present guest) contested Zanzibar with Majid. Next Thuwaioi was ssspesinated by his wn gon, Salim, ho wag nevertheless resog- nized by England. Then Tarki defeated the blood- stained usurper, and became and remaing Saltan of Muscat; while Barghaab, becoming reconciled to his brother Maiid, quietly succeeded him on his death, in 1870, at Zanzibar. But since the divis of the soyoraigniy, Zanzibar has had to pay s large tribute to Muscar; and thiy our friend Burghash has never dope with vnrir good grace. The English policy, apropos of these brothers and potentates, has been to play the one off pgains the gther, Turki would like to get Zapzbar; Burghash would like to get Mus- cat. Here is s situation which English diplo- macy is npt slow to see and fo use. Bhould Burghash get obstreperous, mo one knows so woll,as he that he woyld be handed over to Tur- ki'a tender morcies. His arrival in London, therefors, has not even reached tho dignity of a State event. He was met, on landmg, by the Hon. Robert Bourke, Under Sec- retary of State; a military band mlaf: played thg national anthem, and & squad of troops pre- sented arms. Tien the Sulten and his sablo -suite gob intosame plain carriages and wers driven quietly away to the Alexandra Hotel. Yesterday he made his appearanco at the Ascot races, buot, after a momentary sansation ‘of curiosity, he was forgotten ia the excitement of the sport. Ho drives abont London rreely, and mapifesta great intereet ip everything he seea—for Burghnsh is quite & echelar, apd has the true Arabic keenness of observation, Heis s widdle-aged man, rather fall and stout, of o darkish cream-color, with large, dark, intelligent eyes, and -~ arrays himieelf in. g -dafntily-embroidered turban, and bps a nchly- bejeweled yataghan at his ide. His dross?1s less ricn, but much more in taste, than wag that of the Shab; be is 3 man of much more dignified -and qniet demeanor, and accepts fhe neglect which he cannot but perceive ina very credituble mauner, G The principal eignificance of Seyd Barghash's vigit aripeq from his coatieclion with the slave trade on the east voust of Africa, which has so long acaadalwed this country. It is hardly neces- Bary to point out that the Island of Zanzibar de- rived many and substantial advantages from that traffig. It has hean evigent all along that Buyg- hash oluded, as far as he could, his armpeffe’fi engagements with England; und it was only wher Sir Bartle Frera went thither, backed by a oodly fleat of war-ships, that the Bultan was ivei into making the treaty of two years ago, by which he solemnly agreed to not only pro- hibit the slaves from landing at his por:s; but 2ls0 to do all that was in his power aggressively to put n end to tho trafic. Toe Lnglish may beve aceepted these pledges in good faith ; if s, they evidently doubt Burghash’s power to main- tain the stipulations. Quite 'a number of English ships have remained on the Bust African coast. since the treaty, and are at this moment engaged in capturing slavers. THE PARIS OF ITALY. Milau correspondence San Francisco Chronicle: Milan is the Paris of Italy. It is ad modern 28 Turm but a little mare picturesque. The streets aro not quite 8o straight, nor the side- walks go certain ; and then she has gome novel- ties in the architectural line. The Galleris is ong of these. It is named after Victor Emman- uel, of ‘coyrse; evervthipg is juss now. When Victor has found his lovel thero will be work for the stonecutters and sign-painters, for the next mao is always the idol of the public, unless he lives £oo long. Imagine tho strésts crossing each other at right angles, and having a kind of circus in the center; the streety lined with handsome four-story boildings aund roofed over with glass. The beautiful pavement is polished likeice. The best-class shops are open on both sides, and up and down these broad and ele- gaut treeta the Milanese are constantly passing. It is liko haying four blocke of a city under coy- er, witha high dome over the crossing, It is always fair weather within. for the four ends are partially Inclosed and the temperature is equal- ized. At niglt the Galleria is lit with thousands of gas-jets that surround the dome like a wreath of 6 and spangle the long naves Like swarms of fire-flles. Tha peoplo gather at twilight to soe tho itlumination 1v progress. . It is very slow work. Ben climb glong under the glass roof like will-"o-the-wisps, touching of the jels onc after the other. A {ugidmu application of elec- tricity would cause this greas human conservato- ry. to burat into full blossom at & moment's warn- iog. The Galleria is not the only reminder of Paris in Milan, There 18 the Arco del Sempione 1n the edge of the town; begun in 1804 by Na- poleon I but not completed till 1830, when it waa dedicated by the Emperor Francis to suit himself. One wonders what busineas it has to he utandindg alone within an iron railing in & dreary and unfinished part of the town. One wonders :lso what the Goddeas of Peasce in her chariot drawn by six prancing steeds is doing on the roof of an affair of that kind. Four mounted Victories st the four corner of the roof wave wreaths of laurel in the air, and the whols elab- orate structure, wrought in white marble, is dusi-covered and looks as useless and out of place a8 . possible. When one has seen it he comes away without baving got from it any impression whatever save = that trinmphal arches, which are not legit- imate gateways to pleasant fields beyond, are not half 8o profitable or pleasing as memorial slatues. That to Cavour; for instauce, which represents the grand figure of the statesmau in an effective pose, while at the base of the monument 5 bronze figure of Oho turns to In- scribe his name on the pedestal, the last letter of which she has just finished.

When the Shah was here, no remark he made was more relished than his question to the Prince of Wales while the dence'was gping on, * Why doyou not employ. your geyiapts to. o this for you # ¥ The perspiring Prince could hardly explain, but soci eems . inclined to relegate dancing to the’corps de bailet. This haa been eepecially the case this season when the new fashionable. gkirig have geneé to an ex- treme from the libaration of the ballet. A lady was recently heard to egy. witly a sigh, ¢ What with beiog tied arpound gbove and tied around below, I havep't had.a good equare sit down_ for three months.” Waen a large ball I& given thereis an apology for dancing, & few mincing staps are fakon, buv prescotly the company fajls to admiring each other’y dresses, and it sll ends in music aad talk.

The beantiful entertainment given by the Boq;:lituns has ingpired several others, the most notable of which was given 2 few pvenings ago by somae artists, who ‘for ‘he purpcse took the Free Masans' Hall. Tablosux vivants, oo, have ‘been favored in some soci¢tios. In one case all the sceues were from Shalspeare; inanother all from Walter Scott. Prijate theatricals have been very numerous, generally of a spectacalar kind. Alittle classical spectacle of a humorouns character. written by Disraeli, Ixionin Heav- en.'"the main feature of which is Ixion's flirta~ tions with Juao, bas been several times given.

Some of the most entertaining novelties in the wav of social enjoyment have been afforded by various societies of gentlemen and ladies for special objects of study or art.

A TERRIBLE ALTERNATIVE. ZLady Dufus Hardy in the Pictortal World., . “Youseemto be very much struck by that pictiire,” said my.old friend the Colouel (for, a8 1don't mean to betray family secrets, I shall speak of him as the *Colonel” only), at whoze cosy nook in Buckinghamshire T had quartered myself for s foew days. The pictare he alluded to certainly bad attracted an unusual amount’ of my attention, considering that, as arule, Iam strangely deficient i artistic taste. “Well, yes,” I answered, my eya returning to rest on that particular object which had attracted it many. times before; ‘fregardiog 1t as a pict~ ure, I should eay it is by no means the best of sour. collection ; bnt, regarding it a4 a portrsit, nere is something abous it that fetches’ me. 1t is not that the face is either hendsome or in- tellectual, but there 18 a strange, weird come- thing about it which the artist seems to have caught fresh from the lising faceand transferred to the canvas, and“which all" his after art had failed to psint out.” The picture which gave riss to thess observa- tions was that of a man certaiply not past middte age, dressed in the fashion of the earlier period f the raign of George IIL. The face and figure, 45 regarded mero form and feature, were com- monplace enough ; there was nothing sufficiently remarkable in the portrait to atiract more than » passing obssrvation ; indeed, on looking on it, you felt it ought to represent a_kindly, genial gentleman; but somehow it dida't. There seomod fo be' something behind, working ‘out through the painted eyes as thongh it or they had seen what they should net, and were hannied by some awful mystery that would not be hidden even ini the grave. Turning my backupon it I shifted the conversation, and my friend seemed by no means dispieased to dismies the subject. We had a long, gossipy chat on many matters interesting to ola friends who meet but seldom and with long lapses of time between. It was late before we could’make up our minds to soparate. At last. as I left the room. candle- atick in hand, I could not belp, agains: my will, casting & furtive glance at the poftrait, and hastily shut the door behind me, I was dead tired, for I had como off a long journey ; but when 1 gop to bed it was & lapg time before ‘I conld gompoea myself to sleep, and when I did I was tronbled in my dreams. Thé portrait had followed me np-stairs,slipped into the room after me, and tried to get into the bed beside me ; but, failing in that, went and leaned sgainst ‘tho wall and came out of the framo_snd climbed u; to the top ahn{ bed, hid in the curtain mdfi: and multiplied Itself by thousands, till the whole atmosphere, above and aronnd me, was filled with the one welrd, stranga faco. In the morn- ing my friend hoped I bad slopt woll. I told bim the sort of purgatory I had endnred, add- ing1 % I am sure there is some grim secret con- nected with that picture; you may as well tell me whabitis. Ifitis a family secret, I promuse 0 keep it sacred.” “Well,” he anewered, after a moment's reflection, **there is a painful story conuccted with it. _ The portrait is that of my. grand- father—Dr. Mathias, let 83 call him. He wag one of the physlcians-in-ordinary to George IIL, which position he occupied long before he had reached middie-sgo. He was & courteous, genisl, kindly man, foll of thoss social quahities which make a man s favor- ite of society. Somuch I bave heard. Vhen I know him things wera differgnt. In the year 1770, fall of high spirits and pleasant anticipa- tions, he went on tha Continent for a monta’s holiday; he cama back at the end of it analtered mn_{fi; genial nature ciouded with an in eradjoable gloom. Ha gave up all practice, all socley : bonght this plece and sestled here; be raceived no visits, paid none; he lived in his libriry smoog his ks, occasionally taking long solitary rambles abour tho country. His pature did not degenerate into’ harsh- nees, but a strange melanchoiy posseseed hum ; ita cause was unknown, 80 was ita cure. He turned bis back upon the world, sod, though he 'was no world-scorner, nothing would indnce him o enter it again. He was a widower, snd his only son—my fathor—was then 2 boy at Harrow. You may imagina this was not a lively placs for a high-spirited young fellow to come home to; they saw little of each other. In duo time my father married, and 1 was born. Years passed, and ‘one wintry night, when I was about 18 yeara old, we received a telegram summoning us here. We came, and were shown iuto the room whers youelept last night. The old.map, with the stamp of death upon his face, was propped up on pillows where be had jain _for hours, lus ezes fixed on the door, watching for us. A3 we. en- tered the room, his filmy eyes brightened ; his eager, outstretched hands trembled as we touched them. With the damp death-dew on his brow, his_voice %naking, sod bis wholg sonl shuddering as he fived over again ome terrible moment of his lif, be told us the story which I had better put together in my awn words.” 1t appears that during that momentous visit to the Contlnent he went to Naples. He wvaa re- ceived by the best sociatj, and most hospitably entertained in the most distinguished socisl and Litical circles, where he passed many pleasant mfin discoursing and discussing intellectal and scientifio subjects—chemiatry, surgery, and once, among these things, the use and misuse of poj- sona cropped up in the course of conversation ; and-some one present—s gentleman of some note d what wag the quickest and ¢ plied the stranger ; snd 28 hia £poze he tarned tas lace back from the tender throat, snd, pointing to it, added significantly, *QOpag the juguiar vein; 1t 18 the easiost and quickest way to die” My grandfathor started back amnzed aad bor- ror-sirck. ‘Yhese wera the very worda he bad pitered during ono of those pleasaat gal g #t thehonse of- s celebrated Neapolitsn a few daya back.
