Missionaries in China nave to soutend against various obstacles, They must, in ue first place, master the Clivese language, at least suMiciently to be able to translate any part of the Bivle, and this necessitates the com- mitting to memory of 1,000 000 Words, This mast arliy pe’ an ‘ary act of memory, a9 the Chinese language bas no alphabet. The words have but one syllable, and the spoken language is much difereat trom tne written. The latter can be understood tn ail parts of China, but there are various diaiects in the former. ‘I'ais may be illustrated by our Roman numbers, which may 0€ read in various iaguages, but when spoken they are different in the different dialects. Tae samo word alse has diferent meanings according to its accentuation, To say that a chousand icicles have just gone past is ouly to wrongly accent the word fer soldiers. The order to buy a handred apricots was in this way misunderstood fer a hundred goats’ tails. Another obstacie is prejudice against foregn- ers. The Chinese believe they want thelr children to attend mission scheels that they may bou them up and use their eyes for making opium. Mission. aries’ knowledge of geelozy leads natives to tink the former can see under ground. Another is, that the lives of ferelgners who are not Christians are a reproach te religion, for when they violate the Sab- bath, do injury to others by seiling opium, &e., and ere impure in life, they make the missiouaries appear inconsistent, as the natives consider ail Joreigners Christians in fact, as well as in name, There were no converts in this mission airh first ten years, but there are now nearly 2,000 Die tive Christians, and among them are many munts- ters and fay preachers, who Sometimes endure an~ | told persecutions, Methodists have three priacipal | mmtsston stations, whe in at Faachan. ‘Tie ris RioMnaries Ly Cla Loo He Burlingame mleon for slate pence \ dear’ nowadays. ! one of | politicians in Bergen, and Known as ‘The Bergen Ring,” had drawn up @ grand scheme by which the | | individuals composing It could be enriched at, the the | as they are gol or ceraing from school and rifiing | their pockets.

A Relic of the Late Democratic Lexislacare How the People of Jersey City Were Com- pelled to Submit to the Nicolson Pavement Ring—Avother Big Job. At the late meeting of the Beard of Aidermen of Jersey City, # simple and short resolution was “put through” without attracting any | notice. Yet this very resolution embodied the heaviest burdens ever. imposed on the taxpayers. The resolution was to this ef- feet:—‘Resolved, That the Committee on Streets be authorized to advertise for proposais for the im- provement of Grand street, from Mill creek to Wash- ington street.’ One of the Aldermen (Ege) at length waked up and called for the reading of the resolu- tion again, but belore he could succeed @ motion to adjourn was carried, ‘To give the status of this ques- { D tuon In as few words as possible it is only necessary to refer to the charter of the consvlidated city, | passed by the last Legisiature, Hl er a body of | Prior w the passage of that chart expense of the taxpayers. hese men went to Jrenton and loboied every measure through both houses that could promote their de. signs. One section of the charter of the ronsolidated city provides that Grand street, trom Mill creek to Washington street, shail in the same Manner as thac part of the street west of Mill ereek, Then follows the mischieveus part of the sectton—pamely, that the power of remonstrance on the. part of property owners, as in the caso of other streets, shall mot apply to this section. In other words, the job snoald be carried on whether the owners of property along the ronce liked itor not, The Bergen “ring"? then adopwd the Nicolson pavement for their portion of the thorougifare, which 18 now nearly jinished at a heavy cost, and thus by the ingentous provision referred to the people on the section of the street from Mill creek te Washington street were compelled to submut to the edoption of the same pavement, ciiefy in the inte of the “ring,” which Was thenceforward termed “Tho Nicoison Pavement King.” This very business was one of the main issues On which the democracy Was defeated at the late election. While Alderman Ege’s motion was pending in the Common Council that gentleman acclared that nothing could be more unfair to those who had to bear the expense than is system of legislation, and in view of the late verdict of the people this @ paved improvement ought to be delayed until the assemling of the next Legisiature, when it can be _ repealed.

Mr, Powell tried to dissuade him from the attempt, feel- i vues \t would end in the defeat of the Samoans, and, most probably, in bioodshed., Bat the chief, unknown Mr, Powell, persisted in his de- termination, He went alongside the schooner and called to the islanders on board to Jump into the sea and swimashore.
