to go tb rough the ceremonies of the ritual, to talk to women and ohildren about the Church,” to bwell with the assurance of apostolical pedigree, and to behave with ceremonial decency at weddings and, funer als—all that requires Ho more use of the in tellect than the foootians of a Muaselman Imaupu We lament the depadwvy of the pn'pn it theEpiscopal Chmreh tormany reaeons. It will draw into their ministry many men of small capacity who can not maintain themselves where preaching pro vides an intellectual teat. It will inevitably foster Ritualism, as the expedient of cleri cal medioority to preserve its respectability. Worse than all, it will ntterly prevent “the Church from “preaching the gospel to the poor,” which is the grand commission of Christianity. In our conversations with Episcopalians, nothing is so striking and so painful as the disregard far the sermon. By many it seems only tolerated. Yet our Lord instituted it as the oue human instru ment of saving the world; and history gives universal attestation to the wisdom of the provision. We respectfully suggest to the evangelical part of the Episcopal clergy that they shonld turn their attention to strength ening the pulpit against the encroachments of the desk. Preaching is too strong for ceremonies when it has free oourse. There is one other matter of which, in all kindness and good hnmor, we feel moved to speak. As s general thing the courtesy and urbanity of the Episoopal clergy are admir able, bnt it really is not polite to compel every Methodist, even immediately upon in troduction, to decline an invitation to join “the Church,” especially when the invita tion is bssed upon the presumed inferiority of his own. Methodist bishops and minis ters do not feel it necessary to tell their Episcopalian brethren upon sight all the de fects we think we see m their denomina tion. It wonld not be courteous, and eonrtesy is not denominational. Only widgeons can be canght by this sort, of fish-: ing, and, perhaps, “the Chureh,” like other Churches has enough of these al ready. Since the writing of. the above we have seen the Pastoral Address of the Bishops. It is unexpectedly evangelical in its tone, and decided in its rebuke of Romanist doe trines and Ritualist innovations. It is quite exhiiirating to find the Episoopal bishops so unequivocally on the side of spiritual religion. We are sincerely glad of it, and earnestly hope that their admonitions will be heeded by the Church —Si. Louis Chris tian Advocate. —i-,<♦»<- *ir. California. Chiaamea~Sea«Lions» Kelp—San Diego. BT BISHOP KEENER. Los Angela, Oct. 20,1871. I begin where I left off rather than where I am. A missionary who is laboring in San Franciaoo among the Chinese, the Rev, Mr. Qraves, of the Southern Baptist Church, and who has spent years at Canton, was kind enough to introduce me to the Chinese quarter. This occupies several entire squares quite in the business part of the city. It is not merely rented, but largely owned by wealthy Chinamen, and is sub leased to suffocation. I bave observed dif ferent races of men require different meas ures of oxygen; the English more than the French, and negroes and Chinamen least of all. The latter can festoon themselves after a style that would seem to place one to every square yard of habitable shelter. In every room or shop, whether large or small, into whioh we looked, there were from four to ten men. Those at work were very busy, but a good many were lounging or saunter ing as if waiting for something to turn up. This competes a large class. There are among them seventy gambling houses, duly advertised as such—to be known by their white signs. Fifty thousand or more of these wide-awake Orientals will make an impression upon San Francisco and all this ooast that can be felt; and many more are on the way. Two-thirds of the gold mines of Oregon and California are owned by them. Whenever a mine pays leas than *6 a day to the hand, it is abandoned or sold by Americans, and falls into the hands of Chinamen. There is no comparison be tween this race and the negro. Every one of these people of the "myriad land can read ana write; they can work as long, as hard and as swift as a Connecticut farmer. As factory hands they can surpass anjr raioe in endurance and long continued activity. Their preaeuoe in this country will give rise to a contest as fieroe as any that has ever been waged on account of the African. Tbe laboring man of white blood cannot compete with these men of the East, because be is not content to breathe as little air, to live on as plain fare, or to dries as roughly as they ao. But the capitalist seeks cheap labor, and shuts his eyes to everything else; and the politician prefers a constituency that can be bought to one that can only be convinced. It may be set down as one of the uses of Mexico, that she has demon strated the impossibility of a republic in a population of different oolored races. There are three missions, the Baptist, Presbyte rian and Northern Methodist, doing good work here among these civilized heathens from China. In steaming out of the Golden Gate, just as it is passed, going down the ooast, one sees several large rocks, a quarter of a mile or leas from the shore, which are covered with sea-birds, seels and sea-lions. They are proteoted by lew, aad constitute one of the curiosities of Sau Francisco. The seal is notnnlike a Ghineae baby about the head and eyes, as it lifts itself straight np ont of the water aad looks at you quite intelligent ly, with only the long neek and round head visible. Those creatures manage with their flippeaa to abash np to the top of these" rooks, and there they lie in the sun, with an occasional sea-lion among them, that would weigh several thousand pounds. In the water they swim in droves, and are ac tive enough to chase down the shoals of The sea was as smooth as an inland lake all the wav from Sen Francisco to San Diego —save only the long swell that seems to be a constant feature of the Pacific. At San Pedro, the port of San Angeles, I for the first time saw kelp, the see-plant, from whioh soda, bromine and iodine are made. It spreads its long, lsafy vine for twenty or thirty feet upon the top of the wave, grow ing in from ten to thirty-fathom water. This stem, sometimes one hundred and eighty feet in length, is securely fastened by a bulbous-shaped root to the bottom. Its leaves are a foot long, some five inches wide, of a rich autumn brown in the water, and yellow out of it, tough, translucent, and are covered with a mucilage that becomes thick when exposed to the air, but dissolves readily in fresh water. The vine is very round, as large as a pipe-stem, very strong, sad looks lika amber. It is a wonderful and beautiful creation that, by its mysteri ous laboratory, changes sea-water and Sun shine alternately into substances so precious for medicine and the arts. I had often heard of kelp, but had supposed it like any other marshy growth; but here I saw it was one of the many forms of vegetable life which delight in the deep sea, making but little amount of Die land. For miles its foliage covers the top of the water and calms the heads of the waves. The whale is often found rising on the outer edge of the kelp field, and whaling boats lying just inside from that point make their attack upon him. Ban Diego ia a most admirably located city. It stands on an amphitheater, whose aide* gradually rise from one of the finest harbors in the world. I question whether Constantinople has a better site. The American town, called "the New Town," has grown np in three years. It was larger than I expected to see—haa a hotel in it worthy of New Orleane, and several churches. The largest vessels ever built can ride at its wharves, and are perfectly protected. I stirred round daring the six hoars we were there, and secured the best lot in town for a Southern Methodist Ohnrch. In two or three years the loeomotive will start In Julia street. New Orleans, and stop in Sin Diego.—Nine Orleans Christian Advocate. Ebbobs iii EsoHATOiiCXJT. Oar Sonth Carolina correspondent refers to certain er rors in Eschatology, which hare found their way even into the Palmetto State, which is got inclined to give countenance to divers and strange doctrines.” It is sad to see a man who has solemnly vowed to drive away ■noh, fall in with them and attempt to give them enrrenoy. The notion of the sleep of the sonl (psychopannychy) was held by cer tain Anabaptist heretics in Switzerland, about the time of the Reformation; but it was promptly opposed by the Reformers. It was revived 1n England by Priestly, and other Sodnians, and some fanatioal people ia this country are indorsing the unphilo aophksal and unscriptural tenet. Origen questioned the eternity of future punMh mestt; but he had few followers in the early Ohureh. Araobius favored the absurd fig ment of the annihilation of the wieked. TUi ffll notion la now engrafted by ear tain “Adventists,” aa they arupdlefL niHm their hallucination about the eprpdrfalM rent of Christ before the Millenniam, and his reign upon the earth during that hal cyon period! One error leads another in its train. It is dangerous todfriste, in one jot or tittle, from the bnb once delivered into the saints. The esohatologioal errors, to which we have alluded, are not denounced in the Confession of the Anglican Church, (from which ours is taken,) beoause the truths which they Oppose are fully set forth in tike dfises and Homilies of the Church. The MiUenarian delusion was indeed de nounced ns heresy in the Forty-two Articles Set forth in the reign of King Edward VL, but that ’Article was omitted as needless when the Thirty-nine Articles were pub lished. The error in question is opposed by the Oolleots for the First and Third Sundays in Advent; and that, and the sleep of the soul, the annihilation of the wicked, and their redemption from hell, are all set aside by the Burial Service, which, in regard to these points, is eminently judicious, rational, and scriptural.—Nashville Christian Advocate. The Chicago Finn.—The New York Ob server gathers the following statistics and facts in reference to the losses occasioned by the fire: The Chicago Tribune, after a careful survey of the ruins, makes the fol lowing statement as to what remains: “It appears that out of the aixty thousand build ings in Chicago, only about thirteen thous and five hundred have been destroyed; and that while ninety-two thousand persons have been driven from their homes, over two hundred and forty-five thousand have sot been affected in that way. The whole immense area of the west division, with its miles of dwelling houses, its stores and its business blocks, is almost intact; while the south side retains the great mass of its dwelling houses of the latter class, many manufactories, and the fine business blocks which have been erecting on Twenty-second street and Archer Avenue, and at Other points, many of its finest churches, and the inpumerable manufactories which abound in the Sixth Ward. Of the losses, few will be more deeply felt than the destruction of so. many churches. Nearly seventy-five churches, mission schools, 'etc., were de stroyed. The New England Church, one of the most elaborate structures in the city, was laid in ruins, es was the home of every member of the church. Americaniztno the East—The influence of American institntiona, and of the Ameri o&n system generally, oontinnes to be felt more and more in the eastern Asiatic coun tries. This .is especially true in Japan. L^st week the Japanese minister concluded an engagement with General George B. Wil liams, of Indiana, under which the latter will go out to Japan early in January next for the purpose of organizing an internal revenue system there similar to our own. General williams is now Second Deputy Commissioner of Internal Revenue at Wash ington, and has also bad experience as As sessor, Collector, and Supervisor of Intern al Revenue, having been employed in these separate offices fo> an aggregate of five or six years. It is considered that no better selection for the position can be make, both on account of his personal address and gen erally acknowledged administrative abilities. The engagement is for three yearn, at a large salary. Death of Mthh Arons M. Doooett. This lady died of pulmonary consumption, at the residence of her father, Bishop Dog gett, in this city on the 2d instant Her sickness was long, wearisome and painful, anil was bone with the heroic fortitude of Christian faith. Gifted by nature with a brilliant mind, a warm heart, and a gener ous disposition, she made many devoted friends. A few days before her death, as bet fttller waS aTSne with her, she asked him to take her hand in his and pray for her. The Bishop did so, and while they both prayed there fell upon father and child such a baptism of the Holy Ghost as neither had ever before received. They were filled with joy unspeakable and full of glory. In this nappy frame she continued until the weary wheels of life stood still, and death plaoed his signet on her brow. “Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord.—Rich. Advocate.

T.-u«t,the sub scriber ha been induced to prepare a PhotpheU suitable to the requirements and every way worthy the attention of the Southern tanner. The “Maryland" is a Refuvenator and permanent Improver of the soil. It stimulates equal to Thru vian Guano, and sustains equal to Bone, being com posed almost entirely of these ingredients, with a very liberal percentage of jtotoah in the residuum. There is no adulterator nor Inferior article used— every particle of the Phosphate being of essential benefit to the land. Neither pains nor expense have been spared in its preparation, and we claim tor it the areatmt benefit to the farmer from the awsifnit outlay. For Cotton, Wheat and Com, and as a general etimulant and aliment for worn and impoverished land there can be nothing superior. It is war ranted to run as high in Ammonia and higher in Bone Phosphate than any other fertilizer in the market. Price tdO per ton, In new bags. No charge for delivery.
