with precipices, and picturesque for every foot
of iti six miles' winding way. A lew feet from
the hotel in the valley are a cluster of boiliug
springs, that bubble up from the bowels of the
earth strongly charged with sulphur and other
chemicals. The springs number eight or ten,
and ranee from the boiling point down to 'as
hot as jon'can bear it.' A litilo bathiug booth
and a wash tnb on the brink show that they are

Ancient Ulaclcrw in North Wales.
A correspondent of the London Times di
rects attention to the interesting proofs of
the former existence of glaciers in the neigh
borhood of Conway, in North Wales. A
member of the Alpine Club some years ago
announced the oisuovery of moraines aud
other tracts of glaciers on and around Snotv
don. To many travellers, however, Snowdon
is out of the way; and those who can make
a short visit only to Wales, or who go uo
farther than the wateiing places on tho
northwest coast from Rhyl to Llaududno and
Aber, will be glad to be told that they can
most easily visit a spot supplying the cloarest
evidence that there was a time, though long
before the dawn of history, yet geologically
EO recent that the surface of the country aud
the sea level were the same as they no v
are, when the valleys of our coast were UUnd
with glaciers and the hills covered with per
petual snow when Britain, iu fact, had the
climate now found ou the coasts of (ireou
land and Labrador.
Traces of inoi alum are found in the valley
of the Oufl'yu. Thin vale is some six or eight
miles lorg, and lig immediately to the notth
eaat of Conway; it is between two spurs ef
upturned Silurian sir.ita descending from the
inland side of Peuin'.ubauh, one of the moun
tains of the bnowdoniu range, to nearly the
level of the sea. Oa the western rusk is
built Conway Capf.e; between thij and the
eastern ridge is the little bay in whioh
Stephenson built his lirst tubular bridge. The
traveller leaving Couway by the Gull'yn-gate,
and tracing the little stream untiJL he couis
to the watermill near Gull'yn Church,
to the weBt of the mill-pool, and where
three lanes meet, will see a fine sec
tion of an ancient moraine, the balk formed
of line greund-down Ubrin of granite rook,
in which are irregularly imbedded waterworu
boulders, of sizes vaiyiug from that of a pea to
a cart. Further np a grove of trees is fouud
on another moraine. Following the road, he
will find on either e i 3. aud in the bed of the
little stream blocks f stone deeply out with
parallel grooves and line scratchings. The
grooves and scratchings often at very different
angles. These can only be produced by the
ice action of glaoieis. The blocks are often
found weather-wom uud covered with lichens.
Still higher up the, valley the visitor will ob
serve, near a farin-himse called JJryn Donssie,
another moraine. TUe smaller hills near,
lying in the centie of the valley, are strewn
with boulders covered with ioe markings. The
tops of all these hills are rounded oil", aud their
smooth outlines form a contrast to the sharp
and rugged edges, ol vhe top 3 of the Uaukd of
the valley."

INCIDENTS OK 1113 LIFE HIS LAST DAYS.
The Loudon Teieyraph says: "With tne death
of Dean Milinan, ti luuiiinr and welcome pre
sence has passed aw.ty Irom tun socety of Lon
don. It was not ouiy his persoual repute, hu
charm ot mauuer, hi- kindness of nature, his
rich fund of anecdote and reminiscence, aud his
varied knowledge tha' endeared him to ail who
had the plcasuie ot bis acquaintance; but of
later years there also hung about him a sort of
reflected glory. Fust Master as ho was in tbe
craft ot letters, he had seen the rise and decline
ot a dozen literary cciiools. Ho had been the
cempauion, acqua'uiance, friend, and fellow
woiker of well-nigh every author uuriug seve
ral generation1. Jle had taken the town by
storm with lazio, in the d.i.vs when Miss
O'Neill was in the fulness of her repute; he ha J
lived to see the heroine' pan played by Historl
ntthe heiahtof h:r prisiige; behadbeeu knuwii
and honored as an uuthur when Walter Scott,
Bjron, Shelley, and Keats weie the heroes of
the day; he had formed part of the society of
which Sydney hniith, Soathey, Jedrey,
Brougham, Macaulay, aud Lockhart were the
ornaments; he had been asocmcd with Thack
eruy, bulwer, Tennyson, I)ick?us, and every
man of the bro'.herhool who formed the elder
geuera'ion ot recent writers; aud lew aurhor of
anv maik were so young thit they hud uot been
honored by the not .ceof tho kindly patriarch
whose lo.e of Je;tern, aud of all who studied
them, endured to the very last.
"As bin years advanced the Dean was (ond of
saying, half in jest and nalt in earnest, that he
had found out the bec way to answer a criticism-it
was to ou. hve the critic; audit may
fairty be admitted thai part of his latter celebrity
was due to the lact that bo had ou lived
so mtiny authors of his own day. Bat ia his
tin.e Alilmau did yeoman's service to iho cause
oi letter.-. As a pout, ois repute has long been
asu'ued to the tecoi.d, if not the third, order of
merit. 'Su?in'a 'il-hiizzar' are known nj
longer ou the shelves of circulatiug libraries.
And yet to men wearv of the sltpshop rhythm,
contorted melody, uud overstraiued sentimcn
talisin which characterize much of our
later poetry, there is sjmething invigorating iu
the well poised, full-int asuied lines of The Fall
ot Jerusalem;' the verses are so good, that the
reader's only wonder is why they have uot the
unmistakable liug of genuine song. They are
not poeiry, perhaps; j jt they are curiously like
poetry."
A writer iu the 1'oH Mall Gazette says:
"There was a charm ubout his soc iety whica it
is difficult to analyze or describe. There was
something very vcuerabla In his aye, aud his
wonderful store of Icuowledue on all subjects;
but this wss relieved in the most delightful
manner by the tire, the eagerness, the universal
interest in whatever was going on, which gave
a character to LU conversation, and these
characteristics aaaiu were bleuded in a very
touching way with the most atl'eotionate gentle
nes aud beauty of demeauor. It is hardly a
fancy to say that Dt-au Milinan was a sort ot
incarnation of ihe best and happiest aspects of
theiChurch to which tie belouge l; ot the manly
sense ard fieedom which, especially iu the last
century, inspired a many grea'. writers; of the
tocial biilliaucy und kuowledge ot the world
which ought to d.st'ngu'sh a body so closely
eounected with public lite, ani of the persoual
goodness, tenderness, and charity we all like to
ai-sociate with the character of an English
clergyman. If we had more men like hltn, wa
should not hear so much of the dangers of the
Chuirb. But he is gone, and the circumstances
under which such men were bred up to suata.u
tbe dignities ot the Church are changed, aud
will not, we fear, bo restored."

A Phase of London Lift'.
A carious Sunday sceuc in Loudon is

But the 'bird duuVrs' are only the centre of the
fair. We read of dogs, mice, auiUomi.ril
ponies, broken-down peraiubulutorK, old keys,
locks, and hardware, and eevn fiddles aud
concertinas. The crowd, too, like an army,
brings its camp followers venders of pies an i
ginucr beer, low betting men, aud even a
street preacher, whose quality may b Imagined

streets are parallel it is caxy to admit customers
into the bsck yard through an opposite house;
and, in fact, the police have found purtles of
men sittii g in the yards of public houses with
bsrreisof beer by their side. The buying and
selling at the fair Is conducted with the iisuil
noise, ond amid the grosses? and loudest ob

the sound of the church organs is heard amid
the indecencies of the crowd.
'Elaborate and ingenious devices are adopted
for the purpoke of obtaining liquor during the
sale. There are In the parish of St. Matt bits,
With six thousand inhabitants, Ihiiteeu public
houses and seven beet shops, and in the Holy
Tiinlty Missiou district a similar number. It is
against the beer-shop keepers principally that

prevent the illegal trade on Sunday mornings.
Arrangements are made with the people of
neighboring houses, so that the beer is passed
out through tho latter to those who demand It,
and in some cases a beer house situated in one
street has a means of communication through
its back yard with another house in a different
thoroughfare. One Sunday four policemen made
their way into one of these places, and found
about fifty or tlxty men sitting in a yard with
two barrels of beer in their immediate vicinity.
Cases like this aie frequent, but tbe difficulties
in the way of depriving bner-shop-kecpers of

comparatively powerless". When summoned,
the oflet.ders are fined, but they are seldom

A Slisslouary fcccne iu China.
"Oarl'dou" writes us follows to tho Boston
Journal, from Canton, China:
' I preached every day to the Chinese." t:.
Mr. 1'ieston. "Would you like to bee what sort
of a congregation I have?"
"By all me;ins."
We take our feats In sedans, nnd are carried
through the streets, turuiug now to the right,
now to the left, so often that I give uo all
attempts ot keeping track of our whereabouts,
and trust that we thill get back again all
safe. We come into one of the principal
streets at lusr, and stop before a little
store kept by the missionaries Joe the sale of
books. Dozeu ot C 'ple are already there
wailing fur the opening of the duors. Jt
is 1 o'clock, and the udu of life surging
through the streets is at its flood. A preacher
would have a slim audience in .State street at
'Change hour, but the Cnine.-e are an old people,
their empire is finished, 'heir civilization com
plete, slid tune is a drug. They have abundaut
leisure, white we foreign burbtirians are worry
ing and hurrying ourselves to dettu. The doors
are opened, and we euter tho chapel a room
with a large window at tbe further end boh in 1
the desk, brick walls, s"tiees capable of seating
two hundred or more. In five minutes the roo n
is lull. Mitiog by the desk, I have an oppor
tunity to study the audience. On the frout setts
are some literary btudenls young men who ure
studying for olhuial emplojmenr, well dressed
In white, clean frocks and trowsers, then
pigtails neatly braided. Here at my right
hand, as I face th audience, is a coolie
with the three bundles doue up in brown paoer
and a porter bottle in his aims. lie has stepped
in to rest himself a few minutes, to hear what
the "forelgu dovli" has fo say. Behiud him is
another coolie wearing his broad brimmed bat.
On the other end of the bench, at my lett hand,
a man with a moustache a sUn mat he is a
grandfather, o' custom has established it that
none but graudlaihers can wear hair ou their
upper lip. Men of all ages, all conditions, from
the well-to-do merchant down to the poor
wretch who Jives on rice and snails, citizens
and ttra-ieers lrorn up country, compocei the
audience.
These men are actuated by various motives
lovoof novelij or curiosity to hear a foreigner
talk fluently in their language. They are mt
accustomed to hear public speaking; they have
their story-tellers, but no gatherings where
arguments are put forth. Very lew cf them are
seekeis a ter truth, aud their conceptions of the
Christian religiou are exceedingly low, but jet
every day they Hock to this chapel to hear this
Aineilcao preacher, a bhorf, thick-set, good
naiured uift.i, who understands their language
perfectly, and who is well read in their litera
ture. His subject is tbe confiict betweeD good and
evil holiness and sin. '
A young man Jwith bright eyes, a student,
break in:
"If your doctiine is tree, why don't you for
eicmeiB practise it; why do you bring opium to
China?'
A home question, practical, right to tho point.
The audience all alert to hear what Mr. Prcstou
will say.
"There aro wicked men all over the world,
and it foreigners bring opium to China jou must
have nothing to do with it. '
The laueh which goes up shows that the audi
ence appreciate the reply.
"Why did you make war upon China?"
another one asks, while the man with a mous
tache put this question: "Why do you come
and take the coolies and make slaves of them ?"
The replies are evidently satisfactory, for the
audience maintains its good humor to tho end.
This brief sketch of the meeting is sufBcieut
to khow those who support missions that one
great difficulty in the way ol mlsHionary efloit
in this empire Is the attitude of England on the
opium question. The people are ready to hear,
but they suppose that the missionaries are In
the pay of foreign Uovernmenta, aad that all
their ta'ktng about a new reliuiou is a political
game. The cbuich connected with the Presby
terian mission numbers between thirty aid
forty members. The Church of Eugland, me

Weslevano have missionaries at Canton.
The Hungarian Jews

them many valuable privileges; among othprs

Heidelberg.
Heidelberg lies in the vall?y of the Keckar,
and is surrounded by the most chtrmlng
scenery. I arrived there in ihe midst of a creat
semi-aunual fnir, which guve me bu excellent
opportunity of seeing German costumes, mtn
ners, and life. On the publ square and in the
broader streets, long Hues ot wooden booths
were erected, and goods ot every conceivable
description exposed lor pule. There were atsi
exhibitions of ' Pui.ch" and "Judy," of wax
work, and ot second-rate pictures aud statu try,
and booths of fortune-ttllers and clairvoyant'.
Then there were stalls In which there was
perpetual cooking, and .from whose savory
windows waffles and cakes, nondescript and
mnrvellous, wero ored in the'r smoking
charm upon all passeri-by. There wa ao
untold amount of beer-drinkln?, undoubtedly
wttb its coneomiiaut stupidity and bruilsbncss;
but there was no demonstrative drunkeuues,
no riot, no loud talking. With thousauds of
people spending the night in these booths,
which extended to within a few feet of my
window. I should not have known, an hour after
nightfall, that there was a stranger lu the city.
This may have becu in part due to a b.id
came, for beer is a soporiric ot no little ellicacv.
Tbe morning market at Heidelberg presents a
verv amusing spectacle. There ia no market
building or place; but for nearly half a mile on
each side of the princinal street tho market
women arrange themselves on the margin of
tne BidcwaiK, facing tne middle ot tne ktreut,
almost in uniform, with coarse gingham dresies.
