THE case of Maurice O'Connell, the Fair Haven grocerman who was taken to the Almshouse a day or two ago, is a sad one. He is only twenty-eight years old, and has a wife and two children. When he came to this country he was the owner of property to the value of some ten thousand dollars, which had been left to him as his share of his father's estate. He became an habitual and inveterate smoker, and his nervous system became so affected that his brain was injured, and insanity followed. Dr. Francis Bacon and other physicians warned him of the danger of smoking so much, but he failed to give up the habit. He was sent to the Middletown Asylum, and there, deprived of the means of gratifying his appetite, improved and was discharged as cured. But once out he again resorted to narcotic stimulants, and again became insane. This is the second time he has been sent to the Almshouse. The bulk of his property, it is said, is gone. — N. Y.

—The evangelist Moody is carrying on revival meetings in the different churches in Baltimore, changing his base of operations from one to another in order that all parts of the city may be reached.
—The Sunday school lesson in the Independent of Febuary 6, on the first Psalm, gives the following definition of "the law":—"Originally the five books of Moses, and then any other expressions of God's law, in book, voice, or conscience."
—Dr. Talmage is at last under a cloud. He endeavored to get two of his trustees to sign $5,000 to induce others to sign largely, with the understanding that all above their first subscription was to be refunded to them. One of them, his nephew, replied that honest frankness was necessary to success, and the whole world seems to approve the saying.
—The meeting of Baptist ministers of New York and Brooklyn on Monday, Febuary 3, is regarded as the stormiest session they have ever had. The Examiner says it has "no heart" to print the details. After giving "the essential facts in the case," it confesses that every Baptist who reads the full reports in the daily newspapers "will hang his head from very shame."
—"Rev. Fred Bell," known as the Brooklyn evangelist, who tried to mend his character in a court in England, and failed, has been equally unfortunate. In a suit against the Evangelist newspaper, in New York, the Court said the evidence of Bell himself showed that the alleged libels were true and published for the public benefit. The jury found accordingly.
—A Unitarian minister in Brooklyn, N. Y., is out with the Bible. He says: "Accept the assumption of the Prophetic Conference that the Bible is the word of God, that it is literally God who says that such and such things will come to pass, and we must accept the conclusion of the Conference also, and from henceforth live in continual expectation of the second coming of Christ, and adjust our lives in every part to such an expectation." We fear many other ministers think nearly as this one says.
—The San Francisco Hebrew Observer denies the statement of Rabbi Yigdal, in the New York Sun, to the effect that in China there is "a large population of Jews, who sincerely believe in the Lord's Anointed, and, like all Jews, are looking for the coming of the Saviour." The Observer further says that Mr. Yigdal's query whether persecuted Jews are "to have no resting place in this country because they come from China, borders on insanity, considering that among the 150,000 Chinese living in California there is not one Jew, and we are in doubt if such a curiosity exists."

It was shown that the ebb and flow of the tide at Sacramento City twenty years ago was from two to three feet, but that now it is rarely fifteen inches, and that both the Sacramento and the Feather rivers had been gradually filling up with bars, which reduced the apparent hight of their banks.
-Among the current press reports is the following:-"A Washington correspondent writes that one of the strongest reasons assigned by Speaker Randall in the Democratic caucus last night for the passage of Thurman's resolutions to amend the revised statutes, which provides for the machinery for drawing jurors in United States Courts, was the following: He said unless some means could be devised to prevent the Radicals, who have control of the courts in the Southern States, from continuing prosecutions for election frauds, the Democratic majority in the next House of Representatives might entirely disappear before the meeting of the forty-sixth Congress. Figuring it as closely as he could, he found that the Democratic majority at most would be only four, and he reminded his political friends that two of those four-Hull of Florida and King of Louisiana-were already under indictment for participation in election frauds, and may be in the penitentiary before the first session of the next Congress."
THE correct idea of this passage is not always fully reached even by those who have commented upon it.
It is mostly considered that the expression —“neither shall he regard the desire of women”—means that women themselves, or a desire for women shall be disregarded. The correct interpretation is that he shall not regard that which is the desire of women, or that which women desire and most highly prize.
And what is that? It is truth well-known that where the institution of marriage is honored, there woman is honored and elevated. Where marriage is dishonored woman is degraded. Marriage is the special boon to women—the highest blessing on earth. This is represented as their desire; and this is just what the French nation set aside and abrogated—disregarded—in that terrible infidel “Revolution.”
Some may object that at that time some women repudiated marriage, and did not desire it. But this does not present the difficulty which is found in the other view,—a difficulty which always troubled us while we saw only that view,—namely, that at that time the people were actually steeped in licentiousness. They did not disregard their desire for women, as it is generally construed. Therefore such a construction is contrary to the teaching of the text.
In confirmation of the view we here present, we cite Haggai 2: 7, where a like expression is found. “I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come.” In the French Revolution, all women did not then desire marriage; so all nations do not now desire, and have not desired, Messiah, to whom the text in Haggai evidently refers. But all nations actually desire peace and happiness, benefits which Messiah can alone confer on the fallen human race. Without him there is neither peace nor happiness to the race, either to individuals or to nations. He indeed personates “the desire of all nations.”
Even so all women, except the grossly degraded, desire that which marriage alone can bring to women; so it may properly be denominated “the desire of women.”
This view confirms the application of this text of the prophecy of Daniel to infidel France, the only nation which ever formally and legally abolished the institution of marriage. Other nations and peoples have greatly abused and perverted it; but no other nation abolished it, or entirely disregarded it.
Chinese Immigration.
By Editor
ON the 28th of January the House of Representatives passed a bill designed to check the immigration of the Chinese to the United States. With amendments it was passed by the Senate February 15th. This question has assumed large proportions within a few months. The Senate of the United States sent a Committee to the Pacific Coast about two years ago to investigate the subject, but the death of Senator Morton, who had partially prepared a report, seemed to have the effect to allay or delay its agitation.
We noticed at the time of the visit of the Senatorial Committee to California that the evidence taken before them was clearly defined into two classes—that of the cities was strongly against the Chinese, while that of the country or of farmers was in their favor.
In our travels in this State we have always found this difference of opinion to exist. Farmers have told us that they started out with strong prejudices against the Chinese, but were compelled to hire them as they were the only hands on whom they could rely under all circumstances.
The action of the House on the 28th ult. failed to give satisfaction, and it is difficult to conceive that the promoters of the bill expected much more than a political result to grow out of it. The manner in which it was hurried through, without opportunity for amendment or debate, did not seem to accord with the importance of the question or the dignity of our national legislature. The action of the Senate was much more worthy of that body; amendments were made, debate was had, and the political parties divided on the issue, each individual seeming to act according to his own convictions or inclinations.
While the newspapers of the Pacific slope are almost as a unit in favor of the bill, the great majority of influential papers on the Atlantic are opposed to it, and this without regard to parties. At this we cannot be surprised. We must expect that the leading men and papers on the two extremes of our wide country will be divided on this question. And the manner in which it is discussed on the Pacific by very many, yes, by the great majority, will never carry conviction to those removed from the immediate influence of the "Mongolian scourge." And we have been surprised that able men on the Pacific Coast have not realized it.
When it is charged that the Chinese do not assimilate to our civilization and our institutions, they in the East read that the Chinese are shut out of the public schools and denied the privilege of becoming citizens when application is made.
When they are accused of sending their money out of the country back to China, it is a well-known fact that inducements and even opportunities are withheld from them to settle down on a level with other nationalities, either as citizens or land-holders. Now we do not say that the positions against them are not well taken, for we must confess that, as much as we have seen of the Chinese, they are yet a mystery to us; but we only say that Eastern papers cannot be expected to coincide with the ideas of the people on this coast while such facts are before their eyes.
The popular demand, that "the Chinese must go," is not met by this bill. It only limits the number who may be landed from any one vessel, and this may be evaded or rendered ineffectual in many ways. Many of the best statesmen in the land, among whom is Secretary of State, Evarts, are of opinion that the treaty obligations now existing should be regarded until the treaty may be annulled.
How this action of Congress is regarded by the Chinese themselves is yet a matter of conjecture. Those already here are said to be pleased with it, as they think their own labor will command better wages if the number who may come to our shores is limited. It is conceded that the Chinese officials are deeply skilled in diplomacy, and it is difficult to arrive at any certain conclusion as to their ideas or wishes in the matter. A late dispatch from Washington to the New York Times seems to take a reasonable view of the case. It gives the substance of remarks by Mr. Walker, editor of the Washington Republic, who accompanied Ross Browne to China, and was in the Chinese military service:—
"In regard to the report that Chin Ta Tin had been secretly favoring the passage of the bill, Walker said he would not be at all surprised if such was the case. It was in thorough accord with the Chinese methods of diplomacy, and there are, he thinks, no more skillful diplomats in the world than the Chinese. Taking advantage of the prejudice against the Chinese in this country, and desiring the abrogation of the treaty, it would be natural for the Chinese authorities to pretend opposition, while secretly elated at the prospects of its passage. If the President fails to veto the bill, and it becomes a law, it will give the Chinese a lever in their dealings with foreigners for which they have been seeking for the past twenty years. China, with its splendid arsenals and trained military, will soon be in a position to defy European interference. In the meanwhile Americans will be placed at a disadvantage with other traders. The market which might take $100,000,000 worth of American products may be closed. The Pacific Mail Steamship Company will be obliged to abandon its Asiatic branch and San Francisco will be the greatest sufferer."
We have here given to our readers as good an idea of this question as we possibly can in brief. It may result in complications of great national importance. It may be made a lever for political effect in the coming Presidential campaign. But this cannot be counted on with any certainty, as a couple of years' agitation may entirely change the position of parties in regard to the present bill. And even if it becomes a law, it will not satisfy the Pacific States and Territories; they will demand further and more effectual legislation.
Power of the Advent Doctrine.
WHILE many express a fear that the rising interest in the doctrine of the Lord’s coming will paralyze Christian effort, facts rise up on every hand to dissipate the fear. The Christian Herald thus speaks of Mr. Varley, the eminent Evangelist:—
“As regards his characteristics as a preacher, which are so well known to many, he has a remarkable gift in the expounding of Holy Scripture, and ever aims to understand, and clearly to make known, what the mind of the Spirit is. He is also a fervent believer in the speedy coming of the Lord, and it is the deep impression which this truth has made upon his mind that has led him almost to deem ‘the world as his parish.’ No one can be in his company long without feeling that his belief in the speedy Advent of Christ is one of the deepest convictions of his nature, and the effect of this belief upon him is that it gives a solemn, yet gladsome, glow of feeling to all his words upon any subject.”
The Koran.
By Editor
A FRIEND sends us an extract from Carlyle, in which he says the Koran is the most toilsome reading he ever undertook. If our friend has read the Koran and is yet of Carlyle's opinion, we offer to loan him the Book of Mormon, or, if that is not sufficient, Andrew Jackson Davis' Nature's Divine Revelations. If he succeeds in getting through these, we shall be surprised if he does not feel more kindly toward the Koran!
An Interesting Paper.
By Editor
WE have received the Supplement to the "Annual Edition" of the Journal of Commerce of San Francisco, which contains a map of the Pacific Coast from the southern line of California to the northern boundary of Washington Territory. This map is accompanied with a lengthy description of the entire coast, its bays, and inlets, dangerous points, with the points where harbors of refuge may be located, all gathered from United States surveys. We have nowhere seen so much important information concerning this coast in the same space.
The Annual Edition of the Journal is equal in interest to many, containing the Annual Review of the business and productions of the State of California for 1878.
Cut Off.
By Editor
THE low rates at which the SIGNS is furnished renders it imperative that both clubs and private subscribers be promptly dropped from the list at the expiration of the time of subscription. In order to prevent any misunderstanding a postal card is sent from this Office in ample time for the subscription to be renewed before the name is removed from the lists.
This season of the year is when most of the subscriptions expire, and it is with great reluctance that we remove so many names from the list each week.
We are happy to report that notwithstanding the loss of old friends which we have sustained, we have received many more new ones, so that our list is on the increase at the rate of over two hundred a week. SEC.
