Thn npnpral mrnriitlva (loin ml Lion of t.hn
Woman's Foreign Missionary 8ocIety of the
Methodist Episcopal Church met in this city on
the sixteenth Instant. This confmlttee is com
posed of the Corresponding Secretaries and two
delegates from each branch.
The delegates present were Mrs. Dr. Fatten,
Warren, and Datcget, of New England; Mrs.
Bishop Kingsley, Keen, and EAstlack, of Penn
sylvania; Mrs. Dr. Butler, Skid more, nnd Lore,
of New York; Mrs. McCabe and Fergusson, of
Cincinnati; Mrs. Frescott and Jones, of St.
Louis; Mrs. Willing, Enllson, and Kidder, of
Chicago: and Mrs. Crook, of Baltimore.
This society, though not three years old, has
grown to such immense proportions as to be one
of the most influential and important of our
1enevolont bodies, and this committee super
vises in its annual session all the district organ
izations, and makes a prospective survey of the
work to be undertaken during the next year.
The returns for the past year were as follows:
Receipts of New England branch $3000
. " New York " 7:!00
" 41 Northwest " 5211
" " Cincinnati " 284
" Philadelphia " 2100
" St. Louis " 1133
Making a total for the year of over $22,000. A
new branch was made tor the Southern Atlantic
States, with headquarters at Baltimore, and
another for the Southwest, with headquarters at
Atlanta, Georgia.
An eight-paged paper, published by this
society, ai the low price of tfO cents per year,
called the Heathen Woman's Friend, has iu the
year reached a circulation of 20,000. and has
reen more than self-supportlug. Mrs. Dr.
Warren, of Boston, Is editor-in-chief.
A committee was appointed to present a me
morial to the United States Government, asking
that the rights of the society be recognized,
and asking that the Government shall secure
protection for the ladies of the society now at
work In China.
The committee estimated $35,000 as necessary
lor their work during the coming year. The
eociety has native Bible women in India and
China, and five American ladies in those fields
superintending their work. One of these is a
physician, and has had most marked success in
her practice; also as a missionary. Through her
practice, doors have been thrown open to her in
all directions, and natives of rank have sub
scribed liberally to her work.
The Philadelphia branch of the society is this
year to send out a medical lady to Pekln, and to
support eight girls' schools in Lucknow, besides
doing other important work.
MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC.
'The Serpent on the Hearth" at the Arch.
Miss Kate Reignolds is a clever and pleasing
actress, who, unfortunately, persists in appear
ing in pieces which do not show her real abili
ties to the best advantage. She is naturally a
comedian, and in some light and graceful
comedy parts she makes a very favorable im
pression, while she is capable of being equally
successful as the representative of a certain
class of sentimental heroines whose woes are
scarcely profound enough to be considered
tragic. Miss Reignolds elects to appear in
' dramas that class themselves under the head of
''sensational." and which require to be per
formed with energy if '. they are to make the
proper impreesion on those that witness them.
Her style, however, is too placid and lacks suf
ficient breadth for such plays as Nobody's
Daughter and The Serpent on the Hearth, and
she is not able to do herself justice in them.
The last-named piece, which was performed last
evening at the Arch to a fair audience, is
as Interesting as most pieces of Its kind, but has
the great and glaring defects of the majority of
so-called "sensational" plays in being too
crowded with incidents of no material moment,
and of being too complicated for effective stage
treatment. It is the story of a wife unjustly
suspected and driven from her home by a
jealous husband, the real culprit being a false
friend who makes use of her to carry on an
intrigue. "Marguerite," the injured wife, wan
ders about for some time aimlessly, her mind
being deranged by her misfortunes, but she is
finally, by a fortunate combination of circum
stances, restored to reason and to her husband's
arms. The various scenes of the play afford
some excellent opportunities for pathetic acting,
which are taken advantage of by Miss Reignolds
and her personation of "Marguerite" is In many
respects the best we have seen her give. A
trifle more energy in the situations where
energy is demanded would make it a really
artistle and Impressive performance.
The City Amusements.
At thb Waxhci Mr. and Mrs. Harry
Watklns appeared last night in the romantic
Irish drama of Trodden Down; or, Under Two
flags. This is a stock piece with these per
formers, and it was as well rendered last night
a it has been on former occasions. Trodden
Down is quite as interesting as the majority of
Irish dramas, and Mr. and Mrs. Watkins as
representatives of Irish character have few if
any superiors. Trodden Down will be repeated
this evening.
At tub Akch Miss Kate Reignolds will
appear this evening in the drama of The Serpent
on the ueann.
At tub Cuesnut the amusing comedy of .
Saratoga will be performed this evening.
At thb Museum, Ninth and Arch streets,
Mr. Robert McWade will personate "Kip Van
Winkle" this evening.
At the American a variety entertainment
will be given this evening.
English Opeba. Tne performance of Robert
le Viable in English, which is announced for
Thursday evening at the Academy of Music,
should attract a large audience. This will be
the first performance of this opera In English,
and it will be particularly interesting on ac
count of the appearance of Mr. Carl Formes in
the part ot "Bertram." In addition to Mr.
Formes, Mr. Castle, Mr. Arthur Howell, Mr. J.
H. Cbatterson, Mrs. Bernard, and Miss Howson
will appear. The sale of seats will commence
to-morrow at North's music store, No. 102o Ches
nut street.
Mrs. L. C. Levin de Barros will give a
grand concert on Friday evening next at Con
cert Hall, when she will be assisted by Miss
Antoinette Stirling, Signor ltizzo, and Mr.
George Simpson. A fine programme will be
presented, and an unusually attractive enter
tainment may be expected.

From a private letter received in this city
from a United States naviu omcer buiuuuou b
Tlen-tsln, we are permitted to make the follow-
The Chinese seem to be taking active steps to
repel some feared attack from foreign aons.
They have strengthened and f ully manned the

JowltzeM for the lost six montka. Ibe target
is about 800 or 1000 yards off, and I have never
seen them bit the target yet, and everybody else
fays the same thing. I don't believe they have
had a single "hit" since they commenced firing.
Their guns are a very pretty arm. They are
made on the Dahlgrcn principle, shorter and
heavier than the regular Dablgren howitzer, and
ehould be very good guns. They are made
here, as the Chinese have a regular arsenal and
powder-mill in operation. The works are
superintended by foreigners.
Who the Chinese are making preparations
against I am unable to say. Of course we can
be counted out. The English seem to have
some move on foot out here, if all reperts be
true. The Juno, a British transport, has arrived
at Hong-Kong with a regiment of soldiers.
They were at the time said to be intended to
relieve the 10th Regiment, who have been sta
tioned at Yokohama, and who were to have
gone home; bnt now we hear that the 10th is
not to go home, but to be strengthened by some
companies now on their way out, and that seve
ral transports are on their way to this station.
bat the meaning of those movements is it is
hard to say at present. It may be that France
has decided to make a demand of China which
will cause war, and the Eogllsh merely wish to
be prepared to look on. It Is impossible to
learn anything of what the French are doing,
their headquarters being at Saigon, which is a
couple of thousand miles away, and we seldom
6ce any one from that point.
The Korean expedition is still talked about,
and although it is a "dead secret" everybody
seems to be pretty well posted on it. The Min
ister is to leave I'ekin early la April, and meet
the Admiral at either Chefoo or Shanghai, and
as soon as preparations can be finished they are
to Fet sail for Korea, to deliver a treaty between
the United States and that country. From what
I can make out, however, the treaty has been
made all on one side. The Koreans appear to
have had nothing to do with it. After the treaty
has been delivered the fleet is to leave Korea,
and after an interval for the Koreans to think
over it, the fleet is to return and receive the
document signed. If it is not signed there will
probably be trouble, but this part has been dis
cussed very little.
I am very agreeably disappointed In the
Koreans. We had heard many reports of the
ferocity of these people, but those I saw were
more fleasant by far than the climate, nnd ap
parently a superior race. If, however, there is
to be any fighting about the Korean treaty I
think the American licet will have Its hands full,
for the French were repulsed some time aojo
when they made an attack, and rather badly
beaten.
CITY ITEMS.
Wilbor's Con Liver Oil and Lime. The friends
of persons who have been restored from confirmed
consumption by the use of this original preparation,
and the grateful parties themselves, have, by recom
mending It and acknowledging its wonderful
efllcacy, given the article a vast popularity in New
England. The Cod Liver Oil is in tola combination
robbed of its unpleasant taste, and is rendered doubly
effective in being coupled with the lime, which Is
itself a restorative principle, supplying nature with
just the agent and assistance required to heal and
reform the diseased lungs. A. B. Wilbor, No. 100
