Three deaths occurred in one family inside of twelve hours. It is said that the local physicians acknowledge themselves unable to control the disease, and have advised that physicians from abroad be called upon. —One day last week a ten-year-old boy in the juvenile dormitory at St. Joseph's Home, Jersey City, N. J., took a companion aged four to the kitchen, gagged him with a handkerchief, removed the child's pants, and deliberately placed him on the red-hot range. The child cannot live. His tormentor shows no signs of remorse. —The Franz Brewing Company and the Selzer Brewery, of Sioux City, Iowa, closed their doors on the 7th inst.

Some growers claim to have raised a barrel of cranberries to the square rod. —Two cases of leprosy of the most loathsome type, being that known to medical men as elephantiasis mutelans, have been discovered near Rothsay, Minn. Both patients are Norwegians and heads of families. None of the members of their families have the disease. Before leaving Norway both men were fishermen, and lived almost exclusively on fish diet, and it is to this fact that they attribute their affliction. —On the 8th inst. three men were discovered in an attempt to blow up the fortifications at Halifax. The men escaped. It is believed that their plan was to bore an auger-hole through the cover of the gun-cotton tank and attach a fuse. If this had been accomplished, not only George's Island, with its magnificent fortifications, but all the ships in the harbor and two-thirds of Halifax harbor must have been destroyed. —A mysterious disease has for some time been baffling the physicians in Ottawa, Canada, but investigation showed that the water supply of the city was pumped from a river in the immediate vicinity of a stagnant creek, which received the refuse of a slaughter-house, and this is undoubtedly the cause of the epidemic. "This," remarks a leading daily, "is only a specimen of the criminal carelessness so often exhibited by supervisors or aldermen of cities." —A bill has been introduced into the Reichstag providing for another increase in the German army. This will, of course, impose additional burdens upon an already overtaxed people. Prince Bismarck is known to have greatly hurt the chances for the immediate passage of this bill, which the military press estimates will add 500,000 men to the effective force in the event of mobilization. It would not be at all strange if "his holiness," the Pope of Rome, is called upon to use his influence for the passage of this bill, as he did for the septennate a year ago. —December 4 there were several shocks of earthquake throughout the Province of Calabria, Italy. The railway station at Mongrassano was destroyed, and the town of Bogliano-Gravina suffered greatly. The first shock at Bisignano was felt at 5 o'clock in the morning. The people at once fled from their houses, and this prevented an awful calamity. The second shock, which was much more violent, occurred at 7 o'clock. Bisignano was entirely destroyed. Four thousand persons were rendered homeless. Twenty-five are known to have been killed. —The somewhat famous prohibition cases before the United States Supreme Court from Kansas, have at last been decided by that tribunal. The decision in each of these cases is to the effect that a State has the right to prohibit the liquor traffic within its borders. These cases were taken before the Supreme Court on the plea that State prohibition is a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment, which provides that no State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States, nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. —There are twenty-two Protestant churches in the city of Rome. —The South Sea Islanders, at their last missionary meeting, raised $1,910 for a new yacht to carry the gospel to New Guinea. —Three hundred and sixty thousand dollars, or about $1,000 per day, is needed to carry on the work of the American Missionary Association. —A bill is in preparation to meet the difficulty of getting rid of incompetent clergy in the Church of England, and will be introduced during the next session of Parliament. —It would seem that the Welsh are the most Protestant people in the world, for, according to the Methodist Times, of London, there is not a Welsh-speaking Roman Catholic congregation in existence. —The Gospel Age says: “A church in a Northern city in which there gathers a congregation possessing far more than average wealth, was described by a visitor the other day as the church of retired Christians.” There are doubtless many churches to which the same title would be applicable. —A Jewish journal thus protests against choir singing: “The psalmist said, ‘Young men and maidens, old men and children, praise the Lord.’ The modern rabbi says: ‘Young Christian men and maidens in the choir, praise the Lord, the old men can pay for it, and the children listen.’” —The Chicago Evening Journal says: “If there is in all human thought, in all the world of sympathy and love, a kindly and gracious emotion, it is the inspiration drawn from Christ and his religion. Yet the anarchists despise his name, reject his divine mission, revile his undying truths, and deny that he was God revealed in the flesh. Jesus Christ said also, ‘Render unto Cæsar the things that are Cæsar’s,’ and he held that obedience to human laws was a preparation and discipline for obedience to divine laws, and was also its matured and beneficent fruit. For this reason anarchy has espoused infidelity. Lawlessness is anarchy. All that hates and despises the law is anarchy. Anarchy is revolt against all law, human and divine. Anarchy begins in infidelity. It begins in a denial and defiance of God. It ends in such tragedies as were enacted at the Haymarket in Chicago, May 4, 1886, and in the jail of the same city November 11, 1887.” Appointments.

The State meeting for Nebraska will be held at the mission rooms, 1505 E Street, Lincoln, January 11-18. We desire to have at this meeting a full report of labor from all parts of the State. All Tract Society officers, all our ministers, canvassers, and Bible-workers in the State are urgently requested to be present, as important plans will there be laid for future work. Where it is convenient to do so, it would be well to bring bedding, as a large attendance is expected. Board and lodging-room will be furnished free. LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, MISSION.
By Nebraska Conference Committee
The Lincoln Mission will resume its work January 15, in connection with the State meeting and the special drill that follows. We expect that the attendance will be much larger than ever before since the mission started. The Bible instruction and instruction in the canvassing work will be given free as in the past, and the board will be only $2.00 per week, and a little help in the house-work. The board is 25 cts. higher than last summer on account of the fuel being more expensive. If our brethren make liberal donations in the line of provisions, we can make the expenses still lighter. In this connection we would suggest that boxes of provisions might be brought as baggage by those coming to the State meeting. It would be well for each church to work this matter up as soon as possible and have a good supply in readiness at that time. Potatoes might be shipped, in fair weather, in any quantities, but should be shipped early in the week, so they can be taken from the depot as early as Thursday. In addition to the instruction in the Bible and canvassing work, there will be a chance for those who desire to receive instruction in book-keeping, especially such as will fit them to keep church records, secretaries' and librarians' books, etc., shorthand writing, music, grammar, etc. These studies will cost a trifling sum each week. Those wishing to attend should write at once and state what studies will be taken, especially if shorthand is to be taken, as the text-books will have to be ordered from the East for this study.

By Editor
THE following news item we clip from the Christian Union:— "The Rev. Dr. J. B. Fulton is still delivering his series of lectures against Romanism, and was recently attacked by a mob in Biddeford, Maine, which stoned the hall and drove the lecturer away. Dr. Fulton, however, has returned to Biddeford, by invitation of the Protestant clergymen of that city and Saco, and has begun another series of lectures on the same subject." The story is told that a poor shoemaker used to attend the theological controversies, which were conducted in Latin. When asked what benefit he derived from the discussions, since he knew nothing of the language, he replied that he could always tell which party was in the wrong, because that party always got angry. If we did not have any knowledge of Romanism, we should know that it is a gross error, because it always replies with violence to any attacks upon it. Truth never uses any arguments but those of sober reason. Whenever any religious body attempts to use physical force in defense of its dogmas, it may be set down as a fact that it is utterly impossible to uphold those dogmas from the Bible. The same principle applies in the case of the attempts of professed Protestants to secure laws enforcing Sunday observance. It is because they cannot uphold it by the Bible as a religious institution, that they wish to have it enforced as a civil institution.
