WP can confidently recommend Speer's Port Grape Wine, which was awarded the highest premium at the World's Faia, as a superior article of wine for the sick and debilitated, and all those who require vinuous stimula tion and invigoration. The Vineyards and cellars areople with a very great respect for the dignity of that body. If there were any principle in volved in tbe contest the unseemly wrangle might in some degree be justi fied, but there is none. The eloquence, tbe wit, tbe sarcasm and the ridicule are all expended to save a little patron age on the one hand or to acquire it on the other. Tbe thing is disgraceful all around. —There have been missionary scan dals before now (we recall the first English mission to the South Sea Is lands); but it is a long time since so bad a case has come to ligh' as that at i the Blantyre Mission, near the south ; ern end of Lake N vassa, in Central Africa. The atrocious cruelty with which the missionary in charge of this station of the Established Scotch Church has exercised civil authority, i including even capital punishment, is ' beyond conception. It is from the re ports of the investigating committee j sent out by the General Assembly of j this Church that the facts are obtained. It has not shielded its own agents. A Ilig Sucot'H*.

This beiug so, it must be that in tie last ten years women have chauged their modes of living, their style of dress, and their habits generally, very much, a3 all these enter largely into the duration of life. It must be ad mitted that American women, as a rule, arc not as studiously careful of their health as they should be, that is, they do not cultivate habits with a di rect view to promote health. Ameri can women are not given to out-door exercise, to daily promenades and to hearty field sports.

The fact for con gratulation is that this dreary, dismil war has come to an end. There vt'ap no honor to England in fighting the Boers. The annexation ot the Trans vaal under the Beaconsfield administra tion was an act of high-handed usurpa tion, recalling thu methods of Warren Hasting aud Lord C'live in deajing with the poor, week rajahs of India. Tbe difference, however, between the people of the Transvaal and the people ofSelnde wuj llj4t one was an enervat ed, ingenuous aid timid race ; the other descendants of men who, under William of Orange, conxuered the Stuarts a::d menaced the pi.wer of France.

It has hitherto been looked upon as a down-east movement; it originat ed in Maine, which is as far as possi ble down ea-t, and its extension to some Western Slates, lik" Kansas, h.ts been traced to New England influen ces. The Southern State.i hive al ways been considered as possessed of political ideas t»nd social customs that .would make a Maine liquor law im possible among them. \et we iiud the Legislatures of three Southern States, within a few weeks, taking steps to offer to the people on vote an amendment to their respective State- Constitutions forbiiliug both the manufacture and sale of liquor. It is worth while noting, too, wha: typical Southern States are thus acting ; thev include North Carolina, where, the regular whisky making not being suf ficient, there is plenty of illicit distil ling in the northwest, and Texas ami Arkansas, strongholds of Southwes tern hospitality. la these States at least one branch of the Legislature has voted by great majorities to submit tLe question of prohibition to popular vote. Of course this is only tiu> be ginning of the matter, and not a final decision; but that there should be even a beginning is a suprising fact. —SENTENCE OF REV. LLOYD MORGAN. —On Monday last the Court delivered an opinion in reference to the motion hi arrest of judgment and for a nc.v trial in the case of the Rev. Lloyd Morgan, dismissing the motion and calling the defendant up for sentence. The motion had been argued the previous Saturday by his council in an exceedingly able aud forcible manner. Mr. Morgan, upon being called up, ! said that he hardly knew what to say that his heart was overburdened. He thanked the Court for the fair and im partial trial—said he entered ioto his defence wi.b a firm resolve that he' could clear hiuts.-lf—said he had been the victim of persons who had come to uiin and told him of what they would prove criminal acts with the prosecutrix —that these men when subpa-nasd, re. fused to testify what they had t<>ld him. He further said that he bowed to the decree of the jury, and asked the Court to pass as light a sentence upon him, as he was an innocent man. The pcyrt said it bclievtd fuilv in a Providence overruling all things, and if the prisoner was innocent Le would be vindicated hereafter; but twelve of his fellow-men had decided the question of his guilt, and the Court had a simple, incsoratj)ti dyty—to pass the sentence of the law - and that the sentence of the Court was to pay a Sue of one dol lar to the Common wealth, nay the costs of the prosecution, and undergo an imprisonment of tweenty-four calender months in the Western Peniteutiarv. Mr. Morgan bade g >od bye t> his counsel and withdrew He was taken to Allegheny.— Kit aiming An interesting paper which has been prepared from data furnished by the Bureau of Education in Washington «jcntains SGttH- valuable informatian con cerning the Children's savings banks iu the public schools of France. The ex periment is, it appears, a very great success. According to t! c statistics presented the number of these institu tions at the prcs< nt time is between ten and eleven thousand, the depositors arc more than two hundred thousand, and the deposits between $8,000,000 and S!),OOQ,QOQ. I'hese figures are in many respects extraordinary ai.d ex ceedingly suggestive. In founding the first of these' institutions the idea of the originator was that thrift ami economy —the chief ends of life in France— should be* taught as other things are taught, anel that the place to be gin was ju the honie and tbp school. It was the reduction of theory to practice, and the results that have been achieved, even in the; mere matter of dollars and cents, are not unsatisfactory. It may he objected that a scheme of (his ohar aete-r has a tendency to bring the young into contact with the coarser anel harel er feature's life that should he postponed to a later ptrieel; that it tuakes misers of boy. who should he cone crnul only about marbles. While the genius for saving may not l.clong to the noblest e»r highest order «»f intellect, the eijaet value of inoncy is a le»sun tjiat should be taught meire frequently anel incul cated more strongly than it is at pres ent.

Butler, Pa , —The latest census sheets received have some figures that will I e a great surprise te> many people; The wlmlo colored population of tho country in IBso was fi.577.151, -bowing an in orea»e in the; preceding ten years of 1 - 697.142. or nearly 32 percent , against an increase of the white population in the same period of it little' more than 22 per ce nt , ami that due lamely to jpiiuigration. One of the' predictions confidently mnelc was that the- Eman cipation Proclamation would ge> far to wards exterminating the black race in this country. But the' facts show that freedom agree-s very well with the; col on d race. Fre.m 1850 te) 1860, when slavery reigpeel in the' Smith, the in crease of the colonel population was a fraction over 22 per cent., against a fraction less than 35 per cent., from 1870 to JHBO, when slavery was extinct. And it is a significant fact that much the largest It crease in the colored pop ulation is in what we re the large slavc holeling State's A like ratio of increase during the nextt - *o decades will make the colored race little short of 12.000,- 000 people. Thetio are facts which challenge the ch.se attention of states men at:el political economist#, as well as of intelligent Christian people. .
