News of the Week.

“Tidings of these things came.” —Acts 11:22.
FOR WEEK ENDING NOV. 29.

DOMESTIC.

—General Grant is ill in bed at his home in New York.
—Philip Pervear, of Sedgwick, Me., will celebrate his 105th birthday Dec. 8.
—Americans annually eat forty-five pounds of sugar and one gallon of molasses per capita.
—The Lancaster, Pa., crematorium was dedicated Tuesday, and the body of a woman reduced to ashes.
—A severe earthquake shock was felt in various portions of New Hampshire Sunday morning.
—There arrived at San Francisco Tuesday from China fifty-six cases of exhibits for the New Orleans Exposition.
—Heads of departments of the Michigan Central Road have been instructed to reduce the working force, because of the decrease in traffic.
—In the public schools of Philadelphia the pupils are now taught plain and fancy sewing. Eleven teachers have already been selected at a salary of $600 each per year.
—At a copper camp in Sonora, Cal., last Saturday, Mexican police attempted to disarm a number of Americans, and in the affray six men were killed, and many others wounded.
—Mrs. Phoebe Brockway died at Union Springs, N. Y., last Friday, at the age of 112 years. She was believed to be the oldest living inhabitant of New York.
—Judge Albion W. Tourgee, having lost a fortune in publishing Our Continent, says he will mortgage his brain work for a year in favor of his creditors, if desired.
—Mr. Stephen, President of the Canadian Pacific Railroad, now in London, has “ascertained the possibility of establishing a line of steamers to run from British Columbia to Japan.”
—Severe wind and rain storms prevailed in the East Sunday afternoon, at 6 o’clock in the evening the wind reaching a velocity of eighty miles an hour. Throughout the West snow and cold weather is reported.
—At Huntington, Oregon, Tuesday afternoon connection was made between the Oregon Railway and Navigation system and the Oregon Short Line, thus completing the fourth line of railroad across the continent.
—Because of being brutal, demoralizing, and dangerous, the Athletic Committee of the Harvard University faculty propose to recommend that the game of foot-ball be prohibited, and interested students will be given an opportunity to show cause why such action should not be taken.
—Two weeks ago John McBride, an Irish enthusiast at Buffalo, sent a telegram to Secretary Frelinghuysen, warning him that unless Minister Lowell was recalled at once he (Frelinghuysen) would be blown up with dynamite. Secretary Frelinghuysen sent the dispatch to Governor Cleveland, who turned it over to the District Attorney of Erie County. As McBride is considered to be crankish, what the outcome will be cannot be surmised.
—Near Gambier, Ohio, last week, Mrs. Welka, a Spiritualist, grew ill, refused to see a physician, but submitted to treatment by a “medium,” named Burrows, who alleged that the woman was afflicted by devils, to expel whom he beat her cruelly with a stick, resulting in her death. Burrows then said the demons had entered his wife, whom he thrashed severely, but not fatally. Burrows’ sanity will be tested, and if found to be of sound mind, he will be tried for homicide.
—Beliefs are expressed that the “long strike” in the Hocking Valley will soon end. Some twenty of the persons indicted for outrages have been arrested and will be tried for conspiracy. The railway bridges burned have been replaced, and traffic will be resumed to-day. The output from the mines, it is expected, will soon reach its normal proportions.

FOREIGN.

—The British Government proposes to borrow $25,000,000 for the restoration of the navy.
—The panic in Paris over the prevalence of cholera is subsiding as the disease gradually disappears.
—The steamship, Great Eastern, will sail for New Orleans Dec. 13.
—Private letters from English officials in India state there is a dangerous condition of affairs in that country, as the feelings of the natives were never so excited against England as at present.
—Paris, Nov. 27.—This city has resumed its usual appearance. It is estimated that the total number of deaths by the recent inroad of cholera will reach 866. There are still a few cases of cholera in the dirtier quarters of the city.
—The use of tobacco is to be absolutely prohibited in all the Government schools in France, on the ground that it affects injuriously the faculties of the mind and the general ability to study. The regulation is based upon the recommendation of a commission of men of science.—Religious Intelligencer.

RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.

—The Third Plenary Council of the Catholic Church of the United States closes at Baltimore next Sunday.
—Two negroes have been taken from Tennessee as converts to Mormonism.
—Mgr. Capel will remain in this country four months longer, visiting New Orleans and San Francisco before his return to England.
—Bishop J. W. Wiley, of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Cincinnati, died while on a visit to the missions of China and Japan.
—On Sunday night, after preaching a powerful sermon on hypocrisy, the Rev. James W. Lindsey committed a burglary at Rushville, Ind., as a result of which he has gone to prison.
—The Methodist ministers of Mattoon District, in session at Paris, Ill., Tuesday decided to discountenance the practice of exposing corpses to view at funerals in churches.
—The Church of Christ, or Campbellite Baptists, in Great Britain and Ireland have a membership of 7,506. In this country the denomination numbers 631,720.
—Instead of 150 pastors, in 1804, in the Protestant Church in France, there are now more than 800, and in some purely Catholic districts Protestant churches have sprung up of late years.
—The Methodist Centennial Conference in Baltimore will continue from Dec. 9 to 15, and among other questions to be discussed by its 600 delegates is this: “Is Methodism losing its power over the masses?”
—Rev. C. H. Spurgeon recently preached the anniversary sermon at Colford, taking for his subject the healing of the man sick of the palsy, and this is the way he divided it: 1. Four men anxious about one; 2. A man who went in through the roof came out at the door; 3. A man going in on a bed came out with the bed on him; 4. Somebody grumbled.
—It is reported as true that one of the most fashionable Episcopal churches of New York, having the confessional, compels its women who confess to having sinned, to wear a heavy, brass plate, with a raised crucifix upon it, next to the skin, upon the breast. It is also so constructed that every motion of the body causes pain. This is high-churchism run mad,—the old penance system restored. Such extremes can only stop other churches now tending in that direction, and make them see to what nonsense ritualism and the false system of the confessional and human absolution is leading them. It is hardly possible that such practices can become engrafted upon a free church in thinking America. “The just shall live by faith.” —Golden Censer.

Moved, by U. Smith, That the motion be amended so as to refer the matter to Trustees of the Pacific S. D. A. P. Association. Seconded by A. R. Henry.
Moved, by S. N. Haskell, and seconded by W. C. White, to lay these motions upon the table.—Carried.
Moved, by U. Smith, and seconded by Eld. Haskell, to adopt the following resolution:—
“In view of the fact that a special effort is to be made on the Signs the coming season, requiring a concentration of the working forces of our various societies; and in view of the further fact that there is not at present editorial help in either of our American offices to give the Sentinel the attention it should have to fully accomplish its object; therefore—
Resolved, That the publication of the Sentinel be suspended till better facilities shall exist for the furtherance of the object in view.
This resolution was adopted.
Moved, by Eld. Smith, That we write to Sentinel subscribers who have unexpired subscriptions that we will give them their money’s worth of any of our publications that they choose; and if we do not hear from them in three weeks, we will send the first numbers of the Sentinel thus giving them the full number for which the payments have been made.—Carried.
Voted, That the committee rise.
J. H. WAGGONER, Chairman.
W. C. WHITE, Secretary.

OUR FOREIGN PAPERS WITH “SUNSHINE AT HOME.”

It has been decided to furnish “Sunshine at Home,” with each of our foreign papers to new subscribers on the same liberal terms that are offered with the Signs. At first sight it may seem strange to offer an English book with a Danish, Swedish, or German paper: but in fact it is just the best plan in all the world; because in nearly all the families where these languages are spoken by the parents, the children are taught to read and speak English. There are no people who love and appreciate good pictures more than the Scandinavians and the Germans. Therefore we look for a large list of subscribers to be obtained, not only by Scandinavian and German canvassers, but by English canvassers who may find families of these people as they are working for “Sunshine” and the Signs. The Tidende, Harolden, or Stimme, will be furnished with “Sunshine” for one year at $2.00; for eight months, at $1.75; and for four months, at $1.50.
The commission on these papers is the same as on the Signs. English Agents will need samples of the papers and a special guarantee book. Agents working specially for these papers will procure an outfit prepared for their use. Let the good work begin without delay.
All business will be done through the State Tract Societies.

SABBATH, NOV. 29.

This day the church in Battle Creek had the privilege of again listening to Sr. White as she brought out rich lessons of instruction from the word of God in regard to our daily duties and the Christian life. This closes her efforts in Battle Creek for this season, as she leaves the coming week for the Pacific Coast, stopping to hold meetings over Sabbath and Sunday in Chicago, before taking up again the long journey across the plains. Thousands have had occasion to bless God for her coming East the past season; and they hope to meet her again another summer. The prayers of a growing host of friends now go with her to her western field of labor.
