MISSIONARY UHt. ft! Romance Illustrated by the Sucriu of a Faithful Young 1'reacher.

Romance is not all confined to tho past, or to strange countries. Some of the most peculiar experiences possible to man have been those of missionaries to the American Indians, so recently that the workers who survived the hardships and dangers of those days are still ii the prime of their usefulness. One of these missionaries took up his work when he was just past his seminary day, and was assigned to a tribe of Sioux who were peculiarly wild, and singularly wedded to their savage, customs. Fresh from his studies, and full of hope and zeal, the young missionary proceeded 011 his way. On quitting the fort which was nearest his post of duty, the gates of the stockade were opened to let him depart by men who bade him good-bye as they might bid adieu to one already dead.

But the missionary drove his wagon ten miles over the wild country, and began to build his house in the very center of one of the Sioux camps. Shortly an Indian, moved by some inexplicable feeling, offered to help him. He raised a little hut, made some furniture, stuffed a mattress, and prepared to do his own cooking, all these tilings being quite new work for him. Meanwhile, he was an object of curiosity to these new neighbors, who might, at any moment, be moved to bury a tomahawk in hi3 brain. lie had no books, but only stenciled charts of letters which he made himself, and with these he set up school.

Ho had, of course, made himself acquainted with the Sioux dialect, and he contrived, by little gifts, to gather in children and -grown people. They liked the hymns and learned them rapidly, and some took an interest in reading; but it was not uncommon for a number of wild savages to rush in and clear the school out. However, the missionary made friends, and at last built a more substantial wooden structure, with bedrooms for scholars who should dwell in the house, and about this time mart ried a wife who came bravely out from her Eastern home to help him.

At the colonial conference held on April 27, Sir Henry Holland, Colonial Secretary, announced that the government hopod to arrange with France for a joint naval commission on the new Hebrides, which would protect all interests, and land marines for that purpose when requested, and withdraw them when the necessity ceased; and that if the proposal was agreed to, the French garrisons now occupying' tho chief harbors would rotire. This statement almost led to a scone.

The Australian delegates deprecated this seeming recognition of French claims. Lord Salisbury's speech to the delegates increased the infavorable impresr sion. It implied that the d.ntui.ul of Australia hampered England's negotiations with France. In his speech Lord Salisbury said that a grave mistake had been made in tho non-acceptance of the compromise proposed by Lord RoseVerry. Its rejection made it difficult to request France to curtail her liberty of action touching the use to which she would put her own territory.

If you fancy that the place was quiet and solitary all this' "while, you are mistaken.

In their camp-life the Sioux were seldom quiet, except when sleeping. Night and day there, was noise, tumult, agitation, and the missionary worked as carpenter and painter, school-teacher and preacher through it all. 'if' Othcr white men and womet wero added the mission. A baarding-school was under way, but when clothed iu Christian fashion, provided with books, and apparently well satisfied with their condition, some outside influence would be brought to bear upon thfi.scholars, and away they would books and clothes and all. The greatest prejudice was against teaching tho, girls any thing, and when the scruples of a few of thcui were overcome, others resented it.

At ono time an attack was made upon tiie mission, two of the teachers murdered, and the missionary and his wife were obliged to flee, with their baby, for their lives. They remained for some time in the shelter of the fort, but at last returned to tho mission. Tho school was resumed, and this time some old and venerated chiefs took part with the missionary. One saved him from being murdered by an old squaw, and another helped him to dry-e forth a number of the scum of the camp who were at their old work of clearing out the school. When the Indians became friendly, so many of them came to dine with the missionary at once that the provisions of the mission were prematurely devoured.

Indians expect unlimited hospitality from all friends. Fidally, the missionary and his assistants became great favorites amongst the Indians, who were willing at last to be taught to farm; and now well-tilled fields, good log houses, fences, barns, are seen in every direction. Many of the Sioux read and write, and the men have generally given up polygamy. They go to church, send their children to school, and for the most part behave well in the neighborhood of the mission. There are missions, however, where life is as exciting and full of danger as it was in the beginning at the one we have described.

The American Indian is, no doubt, tho most difficult savage under the sun to civilize. Y. Ledaer. CECOND BAPTIST CHURCH, (Colored) on Seventh street. Services every Sabbath at 11 :00 a ro, and 7:30 m.
