,we desire to express our grateful appreciation of the kind notices with which 8,,the ,,missionary0 in its new form has been received1 especially by the newspapers edited under ,congregational auspices4 ,their relations to us have always been of the pleasantest1 and their readiness to do us favors has been a constant help and encouragement4 ,may their circulation never grow less6 99 99 99 99 99 ,we are daily receiving enclosures of twenty-five cents1 as payment for the ,,missionary for #ahgh4 ,we trust that the receipt of the ,january number1 and the present form of the magazine1 will monthly remind our friends that a quarter of a dollar only pays for half a year4 ,please send the other quarter1 all who have made this mistake4 99 99 99 99 99 ,the ,belleville ,avenue ,congregational ,church of ,newark1 ,n4 ,j41 and the ,congregational ,church at ,mount ,carmel1 ,conn41 have already accepted our proposition to send #ajj copies of the ,,missionary for the year to one address for #cj4jj4 ,other churches and neighborhoods are canvassing for it2 who will go and do likewise8 ,we want readers1 and those who pay something for the magazine will read it4 ,a letter1 enclosing his subscription1 from a ,presbyterian minister1 says that he can secure the information he desires in regard to the ,southern field and work from no other source4 99 99 99 99 99 ,we welcome with special pleasure to our table1 the first number of the ,fisk ,expositor1 published at ,fisk ,university1 ,nashville1 ,tenn41 from which we give an extract on another page4 ,it is an additional witness to the devotion and enterprise1 with which our professors and teachers are working in all directions1 to extend their influence for the information and enlightenment of those among whom they labor4 ,this is another of a group of such publications1 among which are the ,southern ,workman1 of ,hampton1 the ,southern ,sentinel1 of ,talladega1 and the ,straight ,occasional1 of ,new ,orleans4 ,they are full of information as to the work of these institutions1 and of valuable discussions of topics of interest and importance to the colored people of the land4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,small ,,gifts4 ,we cited in the ,,missionary for ,january a number of large gifts from wealthy men and women1 to relieve from debt the ,missionary ,boards of various churches1 as worthy examples to some of the men of liberal heart and means who are in especial sympathy with our work for the lowly4 ,we still have hope that such1 alone or in combination1 will do great things for us1 and make us glad1 in freeing us from accumulated but already diminishing indebtedness4 ,meanwhile1 to enable us to carry on our constantly increasing work1 it may not be needless to address this word to those who cannot give large sums from a large store of good1 but who1 out of their moderate incomes and limited means1 have been in the habit of sending us smaller amounts4 ,dear friends1 after all1 it is on you that we depend4 ,if you will look through our list of receipts from month to month1 you will see how large a proportion of it all comes to us in little sums--a few dollars here and a few dollars there4 ,you must not fail us1 then4 ,we cannot afford to give up the large contributors1 perhaps2 still less the small ones4 ,sometimes1 when it has gone abroad that such an one has given his five1 ten or twenty thousand dollars1 the givers of five1 ten or twenty dimes are checked for a while in the flowing of their generosity4 ,because there was a heavy rain yesterday1 the dews will not form to-night4 ,the suggestion of plenteous supplies goes abroad because of one large receipt1 and the small sums seem so very small to the givers as they compare them with the large ones4 ,but1 after all1 good friends1 a deluge of beneficence only comes once in a great while4 ,our bow of promise of unfailing resources is formed upon the drops of your steady giving4 ,forty days and forty nights the ,deluge lasted2 but1 for forty years1 each morning1 8when the dew that lay was gone up1 behold1 upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small1 round thing444on the ground0--it was the daily bread of ,israel4 ,so your gifts--if they be only 8small1 round things10 the dimes and quarters1 the ancestral dollars--are the gifts to which we look for the maintenance of the great host which we are trying to lead from the bondage of ignorance and sin to the liberty of intelligence and ,christ4 99 99 99 99 99 ,there has been coming into our treasury during the last month a class of offerings for the debt1 which have a peculiar and almost pathetic significance4 ,they are the gifts from the ,southern field--from the teachers and pupils in our institutions1 from the pastors and people of our poor colored churches2 one from a ,band of ,hope1 one from a ,sisters' ,benevolent ,association4 ,one ,sunday-school agrees to take a monthly five-cent collection from its #bjj members1 and hopes to send #aj4jj a month4 ,the ,avery ,normal ,institute at ,charleston4 ,s4 ,c41 and the ,chattanooga ,band of ,hope gave each a holiday entertainment1 and sent us1 the one #ch4fj1 and the other #ej4jj1 for the debt1 8as tokens of love and respect from a grateful people40 ,we believe the original suggestion was made by ,rev4 ,g4 ,s4 ,pope1 of ,tougaloo1 ,mississippi4 ,the amounts have varied from over one hundred to three dollars1 and are accompanied with hearty expressions of kind and grateful feeling4 ,a missionary1 who has devoted the last ten years to work among the freedmen1 writes3 8,i think the story of these ,christmas gifts from the ,south toward the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 debt1 ought to bring ten-fold from the ,north4 ,i tell you1 boys and girls here have given their five cents1 dimes1 quarters and half-dollars1 who have hardly decent or sufficient clothing to wear40 ,one old and poor colored member of one of the churches said3 8,i will give a dollar for that1 if ,i have to go without meat and bread for a week40 ,a teacher writes3 8,would that the history could be written of every dime and #8nickel' of this offering1 which comes from old men and women1 youths and maidens1 and little children in their rags1 to the ,a4 ,m4 ,a41 which ,god has ordained as a channel of blessing to the colored race in the ,south and their fatherland40 ,such gifts are sacred1 by the sacrifices of which they are the fruits1 and by the spirit of loving devotion to which they testify4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,providential ,,preparations ,,for ,,african ,,evangelization4 ,it is a significant fact that ,god moves ,his providences on parallel lines4 ,one great event is made to match another4 ,the supply and the demand spring up together1 as the following circumstances1 with many others1 illustrate3 ,in #ahee1 ,mr4 ,charles ,avery gave #ajj1jjj worth of property to this ,association1 to constitute a perpetual fund for charitable use1 in sending the ,gospel and the blessings of civilization to the colored people on the continent of ,africa4 ,almost simultaneously1 ,burton and ,speke made known to the world the fact that the heart of ,africa1 instead of being a wild waste1 possessed a wonderful lake system1 a most fertile country1 and millions upon millions of vigorous and interesting people4 ,at a later day1 ,mr4 ,stanley visited these lakes1 and made an appeal for missionary effort1 which was answered by a response as liberal as the donation of ,mr4 ,avery2 and as a result1 the ,church ,missionary ,society of ,england is sustaining a mission at ,uganda1 in ,mtesa's ,kingdom4 ,when ,dr4 ,livingstone was in the heart of ,africa1 he wrote3 8,come on1 brethren1 to the real heathen4 ,you have no idea how brave you are till you try40 ,his words were caught up1 and the story of his explorations1 devoured with eagerness1 resulted in the establishment of three missions at least1 far in the interior4 ,more than #fj1jjj was given for the establishment of ,livingstonia1 on the ,nyassa ,lake4 ,a large amount was also given for the ,university's ,mission in the same vicinity1 and #be1jjj by ,mr4 ,arthington1 of ,leeds1 to the ,london ,missionary ,society1 for the purpose of establishing a mission at ,ujiji1 on the shores of the ,tanganyika4 ,to this latter amount was added a sum sufficient for sending forth a full corps of missionaries to that locality1 and recent reports warrant the hope that they have already reached their destination4 ,perhaps no more striking illustration of the parallelisms we have suggested has been exhibited1 than the one recently brought to our knowledge by the report of ,mr4 ,stanley's explorations1 and the doings of the ,baptist ,missionary ,society of ,london4 ,last ,may1 this ,society received a letter1 stating1 8,there is a part of ,africa on which ,i have long had my eye4 ,it is the ,congo country4 ,there is not much knowledge of the ,christian religion in the ,congo4 ,only three or four of its inhabitants can read and write4 ,the language of the coast is the original ,african4 ,the old king has strongly expressed his hopes that some white men would come to them4 ,it is1 therefore1 a great satisfaction1 and a high and sacred favor to me1 to offer #a1jjj if the ,baptist ,missionary ,society will undertake to teach these interesting people the words of eternal life4 ,by and by1 possibly1 we may be able to extend the mission eastward1 and carry the ,gospel1 as the way may open1 as far as ,nyangwe40 ,while this letter was being penned1 ,mr4 ,stanley was pushing his way from ,nyangwe1 through a vast unexplored region1 to the mouth of the ,congo1 having overcome the obstacles which had baffled ,dr4 ,livingstone and ,commander ,cameron1 who attempted the same explorations1 from the same point of departure4 ,it is to be remembered1 also1 that there have been other forces affecting ,africa1 parallel to these gifts1 and explorations and missions4 ,fervent prayers of faith have been offered for its redemption1 and many things indicate that these are being speedily answered4 8,i go10 said ,dr4 ,livingstone1 in his last public utterance1 before leaving ,england1 8to open the door to ,central ,africa4 ,it is probable ,i may die there2 but1 brethren1 ,i pray you see to it that the door is never again closed40 ,it requires no great reach of faith to apprehend that the time has fully come when the words of the risen ,saviour may become our assurance respecting tropical ,africa--8,behold1 ,i have set before thee an open door1 and no man can shut it40 99 99 99 99 99 ,,life ,,of ,,edward ,,norris ,,kirk1 ,d4 ,d4 ,the appearance of this biography renews our remembrance of the honored man whose life and work is chronicled so well by his former pupil and friend1 ,rev4 ,david ,o4 ,mears4 ,as the ,president of the ,american ,missionary ,association for nearly ten years--from #ahfe until death sundered the relation--it is fitting that there should be a notice of this published record of his career in the organ of the ,association4 ,dr4 ,kirk was born in ,new ,york ,city1 was graduated from ,princeton ,college1 and pursued legal studies for a year and a half1 living a life which he characterizes as profligate4 ,his conversion1 after a severe struggle1 was complete1 and the purpose of his life was utterly changed4 ,he immediately devoted himself to preparation for the ministry of the gospel4 ,handsome1 gifted and ardent1 he at once took a leading position4 ,his two pastorates1 at ,albany and in ,boston1 were full of fruitfulness4 ,while yet a pastor1 he did the work of an evangelist1 with a power and success which has been seldom paralleled4 ,he was a direct and pungent preacher1 sometimes1 as in ,albany1 stirring up opposition1 and yet wonderfully tender and conciliating in his manner1 and so gaining friends even from those who antagonized him4 ,he was always a reformer1 but a radical only in the best sense4 ,he spoke manfully of the slave1 and of the possibilities of the ,african race1 in #ahbj1 when only in his eighteenth year1 a student at ,princeton4 ,not until much later was he in sentiment an ,abolitionist4 ,he was never a denunciator4 ,in opposing a false system1 he made all charitable allowance for those involved in it1 and was careful to recognize the fact that there were slaveholders who became or continued such that they might protect and benefit the slave4 ,in the summer of #ahfj and in the spring of #ahfa1 when the ,south was peculiarly sensitive1 ,dr4 ,kirk was traveling in ,virginia1 ,north ,carolina and beyond1 expressing his sentiments frankly1 and yet so courteously and wisely that he was always met with kindness4 ,in #ahfe1 when the emancipation of the slaves had opened to the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 the work of their instruction and ,christianization1 ,dr4 ,kirk was chosen its ,president1 as a man representing its aim and spirit most fully4 ,his sympathy with its work was deep and earnest1 and continued to the end4 ,but this was not a specialty4 ,he was equally earnest in the cause of ,foreign ,missions1 of work among the ,roman ,catholics1 of ,education 7as shown by his interest in ,amherst ,college and the ,mount ,holyoke ,seminary71 of ,temperance1 and of evangelistic work at home4 ,so far as the memoir reveals the secret of his power1 it seems to have been a rare combination of fearlessness and tact--the courage which comes from deep conviction1 and the tact which comes from a loving sympathy with men1 and a real sweetness of disposition4 ,but more than all1 it shows him as a man who walked with ,god in reverential yet familiar intercourse--who realized that the ,lord ,jesus was indeed with him always1 and whose prayers were in accord with the resolution of his early life--8,i intend hereafter1 in my prayers1 to converse with ,god1 and not make speeches before ,him40 ,such lives are powerful in their influence while they are with us1 and profitable in their instruction when we have only the record of them to read4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,news ,,from ,,the

age4 ,the old man's experience was full of useful lessons1 and it seemed as though we could almost see the long1 patient love of ,god toward sinners1 as he sat and told of a wasted life1 and1 with

thoughts and steps of one and another of our pupils4 ,four united with the church on the first ,communion ,sabbath of the year1 and at least as many more are expecting to make a public profession of their faith in ,christ on the coming ,sabbath4 8,another item of interest is the increase of the missionary spirit1 and we trust that the reflex influence of the one who has gone as a missionary to ,africa1 will be more and more richly blessed to those still in the school1 quickening them to corresponding works of faith and love4 ,such certainly should be the result40 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the

promising young persons to the schools within their reach1 and in every other way4 ,resolved1 ,that the necessity for aid from the ,north is still pressing1 and that the ,american ,missionary ,association be requested and urged to continue its assistance in this direction4 ,in regard to ,church ,extension the following resolution was passed1 viz43 ,that the needs of the churches represented in this ,conference call for the appointment of a man of wisdom and experience to be a ,missionary ,superintendent1 whose labors should be first directed toward establishing1 upon a firm basis1 the churches already organized2 and next toward selecting promising and needy fields for planting new churches and directing our young ministers in opening such fields4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,is ,,the ,,negro ,,dying ,,out8 --,in the lull of political agitation over the colored people1 the question is being discussed as to their continuance4 ,are they dying out8 ,what are the ascertained facts8 --,a correspondent of the ,cincinnati ,gazette1 in ,jackson1 ,miss41 has taken the pains to collate the deaths of the white and colored people in the various ,southern cities4 ,in ,washington1 during the year #ahge1 #ai4bb died out of every thousand whites and #dg4fj out of every thousand blacks4 ,in the succeeding year1 the proportion was #bf4ec whites and #di4bi blacks4 ,in ,baltimore1 the rate for #ahge was #ai4hj whites to #cd4db blacks4 ,in ,knoxville1 during #ahgf1 the mortality per thousand whites was #ah2 per thousand blacks #ca4b4 ,in ,richmond1 for the same year1 the rate was #ag4cf whites1 and #bh4ac blacks4 ,in ,mobile1 during the previous year1 the proportion was #ab4a to #bc4a4 ,in ,new ,orleans1 the rate for the same year was #be4de whites to #ci4fi blacks4 ,in ,charleston1 during the ten months of the present year1 #ag4d out of every thousand whites have died1 and #ch4g out of every thousand blacks4 ,in ,memphis in #ahgf1 there were #feb deaths among the white population1 and #fja among the negroes3 in other words1 considering the proportion of white and colored inhabitants1 the death-rate among the negroes was nearly four times as great as among the whites4 --,it has been suggested that these death-rates may not hold throughout the country places in the ,south1 and that the cities whither the freedmen flocked after the close of the war have become peculiarly fatal to the race4 ,in answer1 the ,charleston ,news and ,courier states that the negroes of the rural parts of ,south ,carolina are dying out even more rapidly than those in ,charleston4 --,the ,scientific ,american deduces the following results1 from the ,surgeon-,general's report1 as to comparative health and mortality in the army4 ,for the year ending ,june #cj1 #ahgg1 the army consisted of #bc1bhd white men and #b1jge colored men4 ,total cases of sickness of all kinds1 #dj1aga2 deaths1 #bfj4 ,among colored troops1 total sicknesses1 #d1cdh2 deaths1 #cb4 ,the colored men's sicknesses were #bj per cent4 more than those of the whites2 while in deaths1 we find the proportion reversed1 for only #g per thousand of colored men died of disease1 as against #h per thousand of white men4 ,in cases caused by wounds1 accidents1 or injuries1 #h per thousand negroes died1 against #c per thousand of white men4 ,it thus appears that the negroes become diseased more easily than white men1 and also recover more readily2 but when actual bodily injury occurs1 the death-rate is more than twice that of white men4 --,the ,united ,states ,census of #ahfj showed the increase among the blacks in ten years to have been #be per cent42 from #ahfj to #ahgj a little over #aj per cent41 though these were years of war and want4 --,in view of these statements1 ,general ,armstrong1 of ,hampton1 ,va41 writes in the ,southern ,workman3 8,many close observers believe that the decrease is general1 but equally good authorities assert the contrary4 ,no conclusion is satisfactory2 but we incline to the belief that the colored race will at least hold its own1 because in the corresponding class of whites in all cities there is great mortality4 ,it would be interesting to know the death-rate among the poor whites of ,washington1 ,richmond and ,charleston1 whose dying out has never been hinted at4 ,the negro is prolific4 ,the phenomena of a dying race1 such as one sees among the decaying ,polynesian tribes are not seen among them4 ,children are abundant and healthy in city and country4 ,the pickaninnies do not seem destined to die young4 ,they are a numerous1 frisky1 healthy class1 of unfailing humor and appetite1 as unlike as anything can be the sore-spotted1 scarce ,hawaiian child1 whose race is doomed40 99 99 99 99 99 ,,african ,,emigration4 --,it appears that the

for ,liberia recently in the bark ,liberia4 ,they were forwarded by the ,american ,colonization ,society4 ,three clergymen were among the cabin passengers1 one of whom goes to the ,boporo ,mission in the interior4 ,the majority of those emigrating are mechanics and farmers4 ,many of them are members of ,christian churches4 ,they are comfortably quartered on board1 and have more conveniences than is usual on emigrant vessels4 ,the ,american ,colonization ,society has made a contract with the agents of the vessel1 who agree to carry adults for #ej and children for #be4 ,this amount includes everything required during the voyage1 and the ,liberian ,government insures their support for at least six months after their arrival4 ,each single immigrant receives ten acres of land1 and the head of a family twenty-five acres4 ,ex-,president ,warner1 recently elected ,vice-,president of the ,republic1 is the ,society's agent to receive the emigrants1 and under his charge they will be kept until they can support themselves4 ,the ,society has sent many parties before this and reports the applications as so numerous that space cannot be found to accommodate them4 --,a very different enterprise1 apparently1 is the ,liberia ,exodus ,association1 which failed to provide the steamship which was to be ready ,december #aeth4 ,says ,mr4 ,scarborough1 an intelligent colored man connected with ,wilberforce ,university3 ,i regard the ,liberia ,exodus ,association as another ,credit ,mobilier affair on a small scale4 ,we judge of an undertaking by the character of the men engaged in it4 ,now1 it does not require a profundity of knowledge to tell who and what these men are2 what has been their past history1 what it is now1 and what it will probably be in the future4 ,all these we can pretty well determine4 ,it is stated on good authority that a petition will be sent to ,congress praying for aid2 the exact amount is not stated4 ,however1 ,i am confident that ,i express the feelings of hundreds of the better-thinking colored citizens when ,i say that ,congress should make no appropriation for any such pell-mell movement4 ,if ,congress wishes to make an appropriation for the negro1 let it make it with the restrictions that it shall be used to pay off the deficit caused by the sinking of the ,freedmen's ,savings ,bank1 or for the purchasing of lands and outfits in the great ,west1 that the negro may wend his way thither1 build up and utilize the hitherto barren country4 ,in ,south ,carolina1 it is said1 thousands are selling or letting their little farms and homes by way of preparation for leaving ,america2 men1 women and children all have the ,african mania4 ,my advice to these people now is this3 ,to pay no attention to these fair promises2 if they have sold their homes1 buy them back if possible2 if they have leased their farms1 rent others till the lease expires and then return to their own2 or1 if this is not desirable1 seek homes in the great ,west1 in the country that gave us birth1 forgetting color1 race or condition1 only to rise above it4 --,as bearing on the question of a general or large transportation of ignorant and untrained men to ,liberia1 were it possible1 we quote from ,prof4 ,blyden in a late number of the ,methodist ,quarterly ,review4 ,he1 in speaking of unskilled labor1 says3 ,in ,liberia1 there is no lack of the lower kinds of unskilled labor supplied by the numerous aborigines who throng the settlements4 ,the immigrant who comes from ,america is at once made a proprietor4 ,he has land given him by law1 but having no capital to employ labor1 he must enter1 single-handed1 upon the work of subduing the forest1 and with all the efforts he may put forth1 it is with the utmost difficulty that he ever rises above a hand-to-mouth existence4 ,hence1 very often men owning their twenty-five acres of land1 pressed by their necessities1 prefer to leave it a wilderness and go to the arduous and1 for new comers1 perilous labor of shingle and lumber getting1 or enter the employ of men who may be able to keep them from starving1 but hardly able to give them a start toward self-support on their own lands4 ,when it is remembered that ,prof4 ,blyden is a citizen of ,liberia and knows whereof he speaks1 there will be no reason to doubt the truth of the above statement4 --,one of the workers in the ,liberia movement met a wise1 old colored man in ,shreveport1 ,la4 ,he was describing the great benefits the negro would enjoy by emigrating1 and told him that there the negro did not have to work2 bread and sugar trees covered the forests1 and bananas1 cocoanuts1 pine-apples1 lemons1 and all the tropical fruits1 grew everywhere4 8,dat's 'nough of dat story10 said the old man2 8dat ain't so1 kase if it was1 de white man would a went dar long ago1 and the niggers neber would hah known nuffin 'bout it40 --,we notice now1 as the most recent movement1 that a ,state convention of the ,mississippi ,colonization ,society1 held a few weeks since1 to consider the project of emigrating from the ,south1 was attended by some #d1jjj persons1 including #cjj delegates from other ,states than ,mississippi4 ,the proposition to emigrate to ,africa was not looked upon with favor1 but the proposition to emigrate to ,arizona1 ,new ,mexico or ,texas was approved4 ,the following resolution was adopted3 ,resolved1 ,by the people of color of the ,state of ,mississippi1 in convention assembled1 that we earnestly entreat our countrymen throughout the ,union to form a national colonization association1 with branches in every county and ,state in the ,union1 for the purpose of effecting a peaceable separation of the blacks from the whites1 and concentrating our numbers as a body in certain ,states or ,territories within this ,union1 as may be hereafter agreed upon in national convention assembled4 ,a national convention is to be held in ,february next1 at ,corinth1 ,miss41 in furtherance of this project4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,indian ,,notes4 --,are the ,indians dying out8 ,major ,s4 ,n4 ,clark1 of the ,bureau of ,education1 has compiled these various estimates of their

based upon varying data1 and limited by varying boundaries4 ,they do not show any constant movement of increase or decrease4 ,in regard to particular tribes1 the ,cherokees1 since #ahji1 notwithstanding the depressing influences of removal1 and loss by civil war1 have increased from #ab1cie to #ba1jgb4 ,the ,seminoles have1 since #ahgj1 increased from #b1fch to #c1jjj4 ,the ,iroquois1 #ajj years ago numbering about #aa1ejj1 are now #ac1ffh4 ,within forty years the ,sioux are computed to have increased from #be1jjj to #dj1jjj4 ,a comparison of births and deaths for the last three years has been made1 but it is too incomplete to be the basis of any conclusions4 ,major ,clark says1 in summing up1 that several years of study have convinced him that the usual theory that the ,indian population is destined to decline and finally disappear1 as a result of contact with white civilization1 must be greatly modified--probably abandoned altogether4 --,missionaries ,riggs and ,williamson substantially agree that 7#a7 the ,indians1 in their wild state1 increase quite rapidly1 unless disturbed by some violent agent1 as war1 famine1 or pestilence2 7#b7 the first effect of a change to civilized life is to diminish their numbers2 7#c7 the final effect1 however1 is to a recovery and more rapid growth1 even1 than in their former state4 --,from the best official estimates1 there are in the country about #bge1jjj ,indians4 ,of this number1 #ef1fcj1 or only about one-fifth1 receive subsistence from the government4 ,perhaps a majority of the whole number are self-sustaining4 ,the tribes in the ,indian ,territory are said to compare favorably in moral1 social and material condition with many of the white communities in the neighboring ,states4 ,schools1 courts1 church organizations and local legislatures are among their cherished institutions4 --,the only ,congregational ,church in ,indian ,territory was dedicated ,sunday1 ,december #b;d4 ,its site is in the town of ,caddo1 on the line of the ,missouri1 ,kansas and ,texas ,railroad4 ,having been begun in the year #ahgf1 it is known as the 8,centennial ,church40 --,official statistics lately published show that1 for the past forty years1 the military operations against the ,indians by the ,united ,states have cost #ab1jjj1jjj1 on an average1 each year4 ,the wild ,apaches1 #aj1jjj in number1 cost the government nearly #b1jjj1jjj annually for the pay of the army that takes care of them2 while the #fj1jjj ,cherokees1 who are civilized and quiet1 cost us almost nothing4 --,the governor and delegates of the ,chickasaw nation1 and the delegates of the ,choctaw nation1 have united in a memorial to the ,senate1 remonstrating against the passage of the bill to enable ,indians to become citizens4 ,they say3 ,we have no objection to the measure in so far as it permits citizens of our nations to become citizens of the ,united ,states1 if upon such change of citizenship they leave our jurisdiction1 and surrender all rights growing out of and depending upon the tribal relation1 retaining1 however1 all their separate property4 ,but this bill expressly provides that1 after one of our citizens becomes a citizen of the ,united ,states1 he shall retain all his rights and interests in the lands1 claims1 annuities1 funds1 and other property of our nations or tribes4 ,the result of these provisions is that after he ceases to be a citizen of the ,choctaw or ,chickasaw nation1 he retains every right which he had while a citizen4 ,the proposed statute will violate the treaty1 and confer on citizens of the ,united ,states1 who are not citizens of the ,chickasaw nation1 a part of a large fund which the ,united ,states have covenanted shall be the property of the ,chickasaw nation4 ,certainly we could not be expected to consent that a treaty stipulation of such great importance to us should be annulled by an act of ,congress4 --,a bill to allow the civilized tribes of the ,indian ,territory to elect a delegate to ,congress has been introduced in the ,house1 and referred to the ,committee on ,indian ,affairs4 ,a sub-committee has been appointed to consider and report upon the bill4 ,their report is favorable1 and will be made to the committee on the re-assembling of ,congress4 ,it will no doubt be adopted4 ,it provides that a delegate1 who shall be a member of some one of the ,cherokee1 ,creek1 ,seminole1 ,choctaw1 or ,chickasaw tribes1 shall be chosen at a general election1 to be held under the supervision and direction of the ,secretary of the ,interior1 and shall have all the rights1 privileges and emoluments of a delegate from any of the regularly organized ,territories4 ,the report shows that it costs the natives upward of #fj1jjj yearly to send delegates here4 ,under the present system each tribe now sends from two to five or six delegates1 at an expense of about six dollars a day each4 ,one delegate for all1 who shall have the privilege of the floor of ,congress1 would give the tribes much more influence with the government4 --,the new ,commissioner of ,indian ,affairs1 ,mr4 ,hayt1 took the oath of office ,dec4 #ahth1 and received his commission4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,chinese ,,notes4 --,no one seems to fear lest the ,chinaman will die out4 ,to allay apprehensions as to their over-swarming1 ,prof4 ,s4 ,wells ,williams1 ,,ll4,d41 for forty years an honored resident in the ,flowery ,kingdom1 says3 ,some fear that this country will be swamped altogether by this flood of aliens1 but the #abe1jjj or so of ,chinese now in this land1 with few exceptions1 all came from a small portion1 two prefectures1 of ,kwangtung province4 ,there is no probability of other parts of the empire joining in this emigration1 for several reasons1 one of which is the great differences in their dialects4 --,congressman ,shelley1 of ,alabama1 has introduced into the ,house a bill providing that1 after ,january1 #ahgi1 all ,chinamen coming here 7except officially7 from any country shall be taxed #bej per capita1 or serve five years in the penitentiary6 --,over #cjj ,chinese have been received as members of the ,protestant churches of ,california1 and in addition there are #gjj ,chinamen in ,christian associations for learning ,christian doctrine2 #gej ,chinese attend the mission schools of ,san ,francisco1 and over #a1jjj go to the ,sunday-schools4 --,representative ,page1 in a letter to the ,president of the ,united ,states1 writes3 ,i desire still further to state1 that in ,california there is no division of opinion as to the evils of ,chinese immigration1 and ,i1 therefore1 on behalf of the people of that ,state1 very respectfully suggest that you make this matter the subject of a special message to ,congress when it convenes in ,january next4 --,on the other hand1 ,mr4 ,d4 ,o4 ,miles1 formerly of the ,bank of ,california1 says3 ,there are about #fj1jjj ,chinese in ,california1 and ,i do not know what we could do without them4 ,they are industrious and peaceable1 generally speaking1 and it would be impossible readily to supply our manufactories with labor1 but for the ,chinese4 ,their wages--the wages of the laborers1 ,i mean--average #a a day4 ,in ,virginia ,city white labor costs as much as #b4ej a day4 ,we need whatever ,chinese labor we have in ,california4 ,it might be well for ,congress to check temporarily the flow of ,chinese immigration by levying a tax upon each immigrant4 ,but those who are now on our shores are needed1 and they should be treated with humanity1 and protected from the persecution of the rougher element of society4 ,the ,chinese1 generally speaking1 are temperate1 exceedingly industrious and economical4 --,the ,attorney-,general1 by direction of the ,president1 has given considerable attention to the question of protecting the ,chinese in ,california4 ,the ,attorney-,general finds that there is no authority for the ,united ,states to interfere unless the ,state should ask for aid1 and is of opinion that this matter should be referred to ,congress1 and a special message from the ,president on the subject has been talked of4 ,the ,president1 and all members of his ,cabinet1 are anxious to use every means which they can constitutionally command to prevent the threatened outbreak4 ,the class of people engaged in the attempt to create disorder is chiefly confined to the foreign laboring element1 aided by roughs and the lower classes of ,san ,francisco population4 ,the fact that the ,chinese have completely armed themselves has held the roughs in check2 but matters are believed to be in a much worse condition than has been reported1 and news at any time of horrible scenes in ,san ,francisco would not create surprise in

pupils1 of which there are ninety-three enrolled in my department1 with an average of eighty-seven4 8,when you know the disadvantages under which the pupils labor1 you will wonder1 with us1 at their constant attendance4 ,more than half in my room sit in chairs in which their feet cannot touch the floor2 and the other half are seated at old-fashioned wooden desks that are loose from the floor and often so nicely balanced that one child leaving his seat will cause the books1 c41 of three others to come to grief4 ,think of ninety-three huddled together in a room twenty-five by twenty-five1 with the only two windows on one side1 the other three sides being dark1 the only passage from this room to the street being through another1 in which recitations are being heard through the entire day4 ,this1 of course1 prevents any recess1 so necessary in a primary or intermediate department4 8,quite unexpectedly the severe weather has come upon us1 in which1 because of the unsuitable clothing of the children as well as lack of conveniences for heating the rooms1 the children suffer with the cold4 ,last ,friday the gentlemen teachers kept their winter overcoats on all day1 and shivered at that4 ,with the exception of severe colds1 the teachers are well1 and at their posts4 ,the accession of new pupils each month somewhat retards school work4 ,what to do with any more in my department

,,sec',y ,,powell1 ,,of ,,chicago4 ,thanksgiving week ended1 we began our campaign in ,massachusetts1 at ,sheffield1 ,monday afternoon1 ,december #c;d4 ,very unfavorable were the circumstances attending our first meeting4 ,the brutal murder of an old man and woman on ,thanksgiving-,day1 had thrown the quiet town into an unusual state of excitement4 ,evidence pointed strongly to a negro as the murderer2 and only the determined resistance of the sheriff at the time of arrest1 had saved the town from the disgraceful presence of ,judge ,lynch4 ,a murder committed by a white man would not1 ,i think1 have affected unfavorably a meeting in behalf of home missions2 rather1 such an event would have given it special point and interest2 but a black man being the criminal1 the result was different4 ,the meeting was small1 and yet ,i should not be surprised if that meeting at ,sheffield should prove to be the most fruitful in results of any held4 ,that murder ought to lead the 8sober second thought0 of the community to a very hearty endorsement of the ,american ,missionary ,association1 and ,i believe it will4 ,the uniform heartiness with which the ministers of ,connecticut received us was emulated by our ,massachusetts brethren4 ,wherever we came1 a cordial welcome awaited us1 and when we left1 an equally cordial ,god-speed accompanied us4 ,our meetings were held almost entirely in the western part of the ,state4 ,hampshire1 ,hampden and ,berkshire counties were the field1 and forty-two different churches were visited4 ,just here ,i might as well make note of the delightful weather we had all through our ,massachusetts campaign--only one unpleasant evening during the time1 and that not sufficiently so to keep the people at home4 ,very fortunate we were that evening in ,lee--the well-known go-to-meeting habits of the people gave us a large audience1 compared with some other places visited on pleasant evenings2 and in connection with the weather1 how can ,i forbear mention of the country--its native beauty1 striking grandeur1 and historic interest--who that knows ,new ,england can be ignorant of these8 ,valleys where poets might go crazy in the vain attempt to sing their glory1 ,new ,england's sturdy sons have turned into factories of wealth4 ,the ,mountains ,holyoke1 ,sugar ,loaf1 ,tom and ,toby1 seeming to keep perpetual watch of the busy life in the valleys below1 and then the stories of ,indian romance that1 lingering still1 encircle some spots with their own weird interest2 the houses of such as ,edwards1 ,field and ,bellamy1 open up historic trains of thought which lead to the fountain-head of those intellectual and moral forces which have made not only ,western ,massachusetts1 but all ,new ,england such an influential power in the best development of our country4 ,these 8sceptred dead10 from whom not yet has the realm of empire departed6 ,what with pleasant weather1 beautiful scenery1 romantic tales and historic reminiscence1 the fatigue of travel and wear of speaking1 were considerably lightened4 ,in many cases1 the afternoon meetings proved1 both in point of numbers and interest1 the best4 ,people who leave their homes and business in the afternoon1 riding in some cases four or five miles to attend a meeting1 bring with them an inspiration which a speaker cannot fail to feel2 and after he has gone1 his words remain to be thought over and acted upon4 ,what a difference between an audience pleased only when the speaker entertains them1 and one that is gathered because of already awakened interest in the cause of missions6 ,well1 we had both kinds1 but our afternoon audiences were chiefly of the latter4 ,buckland1 ,ashfield1 ,lee1 ,amherst and ,chicopee1 are especially worthy of mention for the large audiences given us1 while1 with the exception of two places1 which ,i will not mention1 all the others accorded us a generous hearing1 larger indeed than1 under the circumstances1 could have been expected4 ,a little episode occurred during the first week1 that broke up our speaking force for a few days1 but added at the same time to the value of the campaign4 ,the ,worcester ,central ,missionary ,society held its ,fifty-,third ,annual ,meeting1 ,december #fth1 in ,worcester1 to which meeting ,mr4 ,woodworth and myself repaired1 and occupied a full hour kindly given us1 to set forth the claims of the ,american ,missionary ,association2 while ,mr4 ,cutler1 reinforced by ,mr4 ,pike1 kept on1 and filled the appointments in their original order4 ,there were two things about this ,worcester meeting ,i wish to mention4 ,first1 it indicated the growing interest of the churches in the subject of missions4 ,this ,society was organized fifty-two years ago as auxiliary to the ,american ,board1 and1 during these intervening years1 has preserved this exclusive relation4 ,this year the ,society voted to change its constitution1 in order that hereafter all the ,missionary causes may have recognition in its deliberations and benefactions4 ,secondly1 this meeting indicated that a whole day can be profitably given by the churches in convention assembled1 to the consideration of missions4 ,from the beginning the power of the meeting increased1 and the evening session1 at which there was a mingling of stirring pleas for the ,education ,society1 the ,board ,home ,missions1 and the ,missionary ,association1 was the crowning interest of the day4 ,brethren1 let us move for a 8,missionary ,day0 in our conferences1 and put the ,missionary ,societies under requisition for the very best material they can furnish to kindle a fire of missionary enthusiasm in our churches4 ,the ,sabbath following this ,worcester meeting was spent by ,mr4 ,woodworth in ,worcester1 ,mr4 ,cutler in ,gardner in the morning1 and with his former charge in ,athol1 in the evening2 while ,i went to ,keene1 ,new ,hampshire1 and spent the day with my old ,seminary class-mate1 ,rev4 ,cyrus ,richardson4 ,his sensitive regard for my physical well-being1 led him to let me off with three preaching services1 at all of which ,i had to talk ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 and all the time4 ,the evening meeting was a crowded union service1 ,rev4 ,mr4 ,leech coming over with his people in full force1 showing that the churches of ,keene have a warm place in their hearts for missionary work among the despised races in ,america4 ,by previous arrangement1 we were to again unite our forces at ,buckland1 near ,sherburne ,falls1 on ,monday afternoon2 but 8,the best laid schemes o' mice and men gang aft agley40 ,mr4 ,woodworth failed to start1 ,mr4 ,cutler missed his train1 and ,i found myself dumped at a station1 marked ,buckland in the railway guide1 three miles away from the town1 and the only living creature ,i discovered1 from which to get directions what to do and where to go1 was a poor little cat that came bounding to my side1 purring out as plainly as anything could be said--8,i am glad to see you40 ,after a brief interchange of the compliments of the season1 ,i buttoned my overcoat1 adjusted my satchel1 and started up the only road it was possible to take1 and in the only direction possible--for the road terminated at a river1 on the bank of which stood the depot4 ,it proved to be the right way4 ,how easy it would be to get along if the right way was the only way in which we could go6 ,as ,i drew near the village1 the cheery notes of the church bell rung out their merry call1 while well-filled carriages1 whirling along in the direction of the church1 told me that the people were evidently interested in missions4 ,i was on hand1 and in time4 ,a fine audience had gathered2 but my brethren1 where were they8 ,well1 they did not come2 that was all ,i knew1 and in their absence ,i did the best ,i could4 ,the gift of continuance was given me in copious plenteousness1 and the time was exhausted before ,i was4 ,i failed to notice1 however1 whether my audience was not also exhausted4 ,the next day the disjecta membra came together again at ,sherburne ,falls1 and henceforth to the close kept together4 ,and now as ,i review this entire series of meetings1 the question comes--have they been profitable8 ,others1 ,i presume1 will ask the same question1 and therefore ,i take a brief space to answer it as ,i may be able4 ,the object we had in view was1 first1 to impart information concerning the work of the ,american ,missionary ,association1 and to discuss its claims upon the churches1 to the end that the receipts of its treasury might be increased1 and its work correspondingly strengthened2 and1 secondly1 that the distinctive missionary nature of our work might have a more prominent place in the religious thought of the churches1 and thus become a factor in the development of such ,christian life as has a tender regard for those who are despised and poor and oppressed4 ,so far1 then1 as our object is concerned1 we must wait for time to bring an answer1 but the meetings themselves developed certain data out of which we can construct an answer4 ,the data are these3 ,first1 while no contributions were asked for or taken from the congregation1 individuals1 self-moved1 have handed to us considerable money that otherwise would not have come into our treasury1 while pledges have been made of amounts far more than sufficient to meet the expense of both campaigns4 ,secondly1 ,i took occasion to ask nearly all the ministers1 and1 so far as ,i could1 the leading men attending the meetings1 the question--8,in your judgment has it paid for us three men to come here and hold this meeting80 ,and without exception the answer has been1 8,yes10 and in the majority of cases the additional remark1 8,i wish it were so you could come again40 ,with this testimony1 and personal knowledge of the general interest of the meetings1 ,i can only answer the question raised in the affirmative1 with the strong conviction that time will confirm its correctness4 99 99 99 99 99 ,from the ,fisk ,expositor4 ,,american ,,missionary ,,association4 ,great honor is due ,george ,peabody1 because he donated to the ,south1 for the purposes of general education1 upwards of three millions of dollars1 the interest of which is to be appropriated to the work of developing the school systems of the various ,states4 ,but the ,american ,missionary ,association of ,new ,york ,city1 the almoner of funds received from the ,congregational churches of the ,united ,states1 has already1 since the war1 disbursed more money in the ,south for educational purposes than the entire gift of ,george ,peabody1 and is expending for the prosecution of the same work1 every year1 more than twice as much as the interest of the ,peabody ,fund4 ,in this statement no intention exists to depreciate the munificence of ,mr4 ,peabody's gift1 but to call attention to the fact that the ,south owes a debt of gratitude to the ,american ,missionary ,association1 which it should not be slow to recognize4 ,the ,association was organized in #ahdf1 for the purpose of 8carrying the ,gospel to the poor40 ,the first school for colored children was opened at ,hampton1 ,virginia1 in #ahfa4 ,since that time it has expended between #c1ejj1jjj and #d1jjj1jjj1 ninety per cent4 of which has been appropriated to the support of its work in the ,south4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the

long enjoyed the distinction of the largest circulation among the best people4 ,during the year #ahgh it will spend more labor and money than ever before to deserve that pre-eminence--which it secured1 and means to retain1 by becoming the medium of the best thought1 and the voice of the best conscience of the time2 by keeping abreast of the highest progress1 favoring the freest discussion1 hearing all sides1 appealing always to the best intelligence and the purest morality1 and refusing to cater to the tastes of the vile or the prejudices of the ignorant4 ,the continued popular approval1 and the constantly widening political influence it enjoys1 are the best proofs that it is still faithful to these early secrets of its strength4 ,,the ,,tribune earnestly strove for the election of ,president ,hayes1 and it gives its heartiest support to the high purposes of his ,administration4 ,doubting the wisdom of methods sometimes taken by his subordinates1 and criticising with entire freedom his occasional mistakes1 it still thinks it the duty of the hour to hold together and strengthen the party that elected and alone sustains him4 ,it believes the day of danger to the negro has passed1 and that of danger to the ,tax-,payer has come4 ,the ,solid ,south 7at last in full control of every ,rebel and ,border ,state7 sees its chance to get at the ,national ,treasury1 and get back what it lost by the war4 ,only #dg ,northern votes are needed4 ,if ,tammany ,hall could furnish ,new ,york1 then ,indiana1 or ,connecticut and ,new ,jersey1 would suffice4 ,the danger is upon us1 and against it the old party of ,freedom--still the party of the ,churches and the ,school-houses--is the only bulwark4 ,it alone can keep the ,solid ,south from grasping the ,national ,government in #ahhj4 ,it alone can save us1 even now1 from the threatened ,democratic abandonment of ,resumption and renewed debasement of the currency which would needlessly and most wickedly check the revival of business1 and treble the country's burdens4 ,in behalf of the old party1 therefore1 ,,the ,,tribune renews the old appeal to the ,national conscience1 the ,national honor1 and the enlightened self-interest of the ,tax ,payers4 ,,the ,,tribune has always been a favorite with the religious community4 ,its moral tone is pure4 ,it is largely read by ministers1 and its columns almost furnish a liberal education of themselves4 ,it prints a complete collection of religious news1 prepared for it by the ,rev4 ,dr4 ,,george ,r4 ,,crooks1 late editor of ,the ,methodist4 ,the ,rev4 ,dr4 ,,john

,rev4 ,,bishop ,h4 ,b4 ,,whipple1 the ,rev4 ,dr4 ,,leonard ,,bacon1 and great numbers of other clergymen1 are also frequent contributors4 ,,the ,,weekly ,,tribune has been for a third of a century the favorite paper for our substantial country population4 ,it has recently been enlarged and greatly improved by a change of form4 ,each issue consists of sixteen pages1 of the form and general appearance of ,harper's ,weekly1 but with pages considerably larger1 and with unusually large and clear type4 ,it preserves all the old and standard features1 including a singularly varied and excellent ,agricultural ,department1 while it offers1 among other novel and special attractions1 a graphic series of articles on ,domestic ,life and ,habits ,abroad1 by ,,bayard ,,taylor2 a few papers on ,current ,topics from the ,christian ,minister's ,point of ,view1 by the ,rev4 ,,john ,,hall1 ,d4 ,d42 occasional contributions on ,political ,problems and ,promises1 by ,,gail ,,hamilton2 ,a

of both the other issues1 and is in some respects the best as well as the cheapest paper issued from ,,the ,,tribune office4 ,it has also been enlarged and changed to the new #af-page form4 ,,terms
