ANRW CHURCH The Methodlets het their regular weekly meeting yesterday morning in the confterence- room at No. 57 Washington street, Presiding Hidde Witling in the chair. ‘The Committee to wom was referred the question of building a new church near the cor nerof Milwankee and Western aventics nade 9 report that ther were prepared to give the en- terprise their unqualitied indorsement. ‘The re- port inciuded a coupte of resolutions, declaring ! the need of a church to the locality named, thanking Mr. Johnson for his goucrous offer of a valuable lot, and promising, on tha part af the ministers, every encouragement to this new co- terprise. After some Wttle talit, in which “the moral influence” idea of encouraging the build ing of the church was fully dwelt upon, the re- port was adopted. TUE CHINRSR QUESTION, The Rev. Dr. Brush, of Texar, the Rev, Otis Gibson, of California, und the Nev. Mr. Roe, uf Omaha, were the promincut. visitors present. Mr. Gibson was called tron for na “apeevh,"* and appoared to be perfectly willing, Alter speaking generally af Methodism tn California, ho dectared that he knew of only one Methodist. eburch in San Franctsco that wasn't in debt, and that was the Chinceo Mission, But then tt never bought anything that {t couldn't pay cosh for, This brought bim downs to the Chinese Question, whera be was at home. ‘The poll- ticlans, be. said, bad nothing else to quarrel about, and so they pitched into the Chinese,who were n sort of foat-fall between the two parties. Ho did not fear any enormous cmigration, and os for the assertion that there *were foo many Chinamen there now, he cited the fact thit there were not sufficient Jaborers to gather the harvests. As to Chinese cheap Iabor, the fact was tnitem- loyers there paid Chinamen oven higher wages Then laborers wera paid here, and Congress iteelf recognized this general fact when ft flxect a higher rate of compensation for the census: takers In Callfornin than it did for the Enst, Mr. Gibsou had a good deal to suy about houd- lums and “red-mouthed Irishmen,” and told several stories, the point of whieh was to show that Chinese Jabor did not degrade white labor, and that if white servant-girls did marry Chinese husbands it would ve better for them in many cases, Of course, this warm friend of the China- map had to charge the newspapers and the politicians with agitating: this ques- tlon for — selfish snd party purposes. He did, however, graciously admit that the Chinamen were not all pure aud virtuous, ‘but fn the next breatn claimed that they would compare very favorably with any other cliss of laborers thit ever came to this cuuntry, no inatter where they came from. Hehad received aletter from his family Iately, saying they tad otten out his uns and oiled them, He felt a fittie anxious, he added, und feared he might need them sooner or later. Dr. Edwards asked how {t was that they neel- ed guns. Dr. Gibson sald they had bought guns, und they never bought anything they didn't need. {Laughter.] ‘fhey tnd to pfuteet themselves againgt the rouhs, the respeetatle clement, of cours’, not molestine anybody, + In anawer to another question, the friend of the Chinamen sold that cs ULAINE’S STATISTICS G regarding the number of Chinese converted fn this country were quite fuir,—so fair, indeed, that he had nothing to complain of on thet score, ‘The fact was that the proportion of con- Yerts among the Chineee coming to this country ‘Was greater than that among any other nattouall- ty. ‘The snetker, to Mlustrate one of the Jorities, sald he was known among the Chittese ug the *angel-maker,"—a term they had applted to hitn fa consequence of thelr’ stitl mati spirit, amt which stuck to him on all. o (Laugiiter.] He then went on to speuk of the work among women aud girls who were resected from the dens of prostitution, sent to the mis- slom und kept there and educated, being retnlucd - through the tntdium of guardiunship = papers = obtalned. through the Probate Court. After that, they Were the wards. of the mission, and nobody could takethemaway, ‘The Chinese traders who acted a3 prosurers tor these houses of prostitu- tion were only o small part of the Chinese povulation, nnd were frowned down by the re- Bpectable portion, Several of these saved girls had Iived nud died in the Christian faith, and quite a number excelled aa teachers, Bible-read- crs ete. Several had married white hushands and were Ilving happy, vleasant, gerly Hyves, ‘There were eimllar religious societies among the Japanese, and the speaker often lectured to them on roine of the bools of the Bible. At ‘the last quarterly meeting of the mission theru were sume tifty communteants. About three years ago, the heathen Chinese dried to run ‘an opposition meeting on the ather side of the street by employing a reader of Confuclus and adding a tire-eracker and eymbal exhibition us an additional attraction. But the attempt to interfere with the mission resulted tn nothfins, for the converted Chinumen went on with their devotions dexpite the noise. Mr. Gibson referred to THE DAD PEELING AGAINST 11M, fostered by a certuin class of sinail illustrated papa in California, whose sentiments regard- ne hw and Dr. Loomis were sufliciently biood- thirsty. He was accused by the nowspapers of hel employed by tne Six Companies, Thistnel int Ju fact, they had hong him in efligy. Very few — workinumen, ho sald, — at- tended the anti-Chincas meetings. ‘The crowds. were generally — compusetl of the warst sort of roughs,—auch a8 those who in 4ST? threatened to burn down the mntssion and hang the speaker before wmurning.s A young mau among them, however, gave the plan Bway, wid the speaker was on his guard. ‘The crowd tuine mutterlue wlons the atrecta, but they hud heard that he was “a bad man,” aint Would defend biinsclf, und they went nway.

Not ouly were the English themselves a Low Dutch race, but the Normans who introduced theso nuances among them wero of Scandinatian de- scent, and therefore even lower Teutons, so to sneak, than the Engilsh themselves. ‘Tho an- swer to the puzzlu {sto ba found tna universal tendevev of mankind everywhere to chuose for themselves or their children what scem to them flne or fashionable uames, Accordingly, wher- ever o Reval famfly belongs to o different race from that whien they goyern, the Royal names raplily spread downward, through the nobility, to the peonle at large.
