On the 16th inst., King Milan, of Servia, crossed with his troops into Bulgaria. It looks now as if the difficulties would be settled by Bulgaria granting Servia a small portion of her territory, and the union under Prince Alexander acknowledged.
—The cruise of the Corwin to the Arctic regions has been quite successful in rescuing some forty-nine whalers from a watery grave, and in discovery and exploration. A party with great difficulty explored the Kowak River for a distance of 520 miles, to its source in four great lakes. The largest of these lakes is situated in longitude about 153° west, and latitude 67° north. Another party from the Corwin explored, for a distance of 400 miles, the Noitak River, which flows into Hotham Inlet, Arctic Ocean, most of the way through a mountainous country.
—On the afternoon of October 17, while the wife of Jean Baptiste Romilly, residing about ten miles from Toronto, Canada, accompanied by her two-year-old child, was feeding her fowls, a large bald-headed eagle swooped down and bore the little one off in its talons. The neighbors turned out with shot-guns, but the only effect of their firing was to accelerate the eagle's flight. The bird alighted on the top of a barn a mile away, and was seen to make several strokes at the child's head with its beak. The neighbors had got pretty close by this time, and succeeded in frightening the eagle away. The child's body was recovered, but life was extinct, a hole having been made in its skull and a portion of the brain devoured by the bird.

—Detachments of the Salvation Army have found their way to the Thibetan border; but, to their great astonishment, they have been able to make no impression whatever on the people.

They visited a monastery, but the monks would not interrupt their litanies to greet them.
—The Religio-Philosophical Journal (Spiritualist) indorses Beecher's work as follows: "While the Journal sees the inconsistencies, the want of perfect candor, the vacillation, and the finesse of this great pulpit orator, yet it does not disparage his work, but fully recognizes his power as a liberalizer, and a stalwart veteran in man's struggle with ignorance and superstition, on his march toward a higher life here and hereafter."
Giving Up Our Rights
By George MacDonald
One of the grandest things in having rights is that, being your rights, you may give them up.
Unrestrained.
A VISITOR at a small summer resort at the sea coast entered the railway station one sultry July day, to wait for a train. Two young girls of about fourteen entered, attired in embroidered white dresses, which left their arms bare; lace, gay ribbons, and jewelry were heaped on them; the dresses were, in fact, such as they would wear at an evening assembly, except for the shoes muddied by trampling through the lanes. The following conversation took place:
"That's the down express, Ella. The conductor's your young man."
"No; I've taken up that fellow on the second accommodation. He's brakeman. He said he'd bring me something from town to-day."
Giggle. "I wonder what it'll be. That brakeman on the express brought me a box of caramels yesterday. I promised to have a bunch of roses for him to-day."
"Caramels! I'll bring some roses to-morrow." Giggling, long continued.
The ticket-seller, a coarse young man, with a whisky-tainted breath, thrust his head out of the window.
"Say! None o' that, Miss May! I want all the roses you bring."
Miss May tossed her head. "Nonsense! You didn't speak to me on the promenade last night."
One or two brakemen loungers had been listening this colloquy, with unpleasant leers.
"I know why he didn't speak to you, Miss," said one. "'Cos he's married, and that was his wife with him."
The girls tossed their heads, and went out to meet the conductors of the in-coming train.
"Who are they?" asked the visitor. He was surprised to hear that they were the daughters of a most respectable and influential family, who were spending the summer at the hotel.
The next day he was introduced to their mother, who said to him presently,—
"My little girls are not fond of books. There seems to be nothing to occupy them here. I let them wander at will. I do not believe in this new system of guarding girls so closely. Nothing is so charming as innocence and freedom."
The story is true, and might be true of countless American mothers and daughters this summer.—Companion.

Christ the Way of Life.
By Editor
We have a select stock of this beautiful and instructive steel plate engraving, with keys in the Danish, Swedish, German, French, and English languages.
The design of this engraving is to present at one view the leading events in the history of man as related to the divine plan of redemption, from the time of the first sin and the fall to the final restoration of the race to the Paradise of God.
Its central figure is that of Christ hanging upon the cruel cross. By taking our position at the foot of the cross, we look backward in the history of man, and trace the steps which have led to the scenes of Calvary. The scenes which suggest the provisions of the gospel are enacted in the shadow of the cross, which is cast far back over the history of the race, reaching even to the gates of Eden.
The "Way of Life," as a work of art, commends itself to all lovers of the beautiful. Unlike many religious allegorical pictures, this not only presents a sacred theme, but by its skillful grouping, and its harmonious combination of light and shade, it delights the cultivated taste, and suggests abundant food for thought.
THE KEY.
An elegant 12-mo. pamphlet of 48 pages, containing a description of every part of the picture, and an impressive article by Mrs. E. G. White, accompanies each engraving.

False Witness.
By Editor
THE following we clip from the editorial column of an Oakland daily:—
"Adventists, we are informed, have carefully revised their calculations, having learned that all dates fixed for former ascensions were wrong because of an error in figuring, a logarithm having probably slipped out of place, and are now able to tell the precise date when the world will come to an end, and a great deal of excitement consequently prevails. This date the Adventists, with commendable good nature, have made public, that those not included among the elect, if unable to ascend, can at least be prepared to look on. The world will end, it is announced, May 14, 1886, and it will be perceived that only about eight months remain in which to make the most of life."
We first saw the above item several weeks ago in the San Francisco Examiner. We thought at the time that it was the work of some newspaper paragrapher who was obliged to furnish a certain amount of "copy," and had run out of legitimate items; because we have carefully scanned all the papers published by those who believe that men may know the date of the Lord's coming, and for a year have seen no time set. And now, when we find the same item used verbatim as a leading editorial in another journal, we are the more assured that it was inserted merely to "fill up." There certainly was no excuse for its publication, except a malicious willingness to circulate anything that would bring reproach or ridicule upon a name which they despise without cause.
All who know anything about Seventh-day Adventists, well know that they have no sympathy whatever with the practice of setting time for the coming of the Lord. Seventh-day Adventists have never yet fixed a date for that event, and they never will, because they everywhere teach that "of that day and hour knoweth no man." There are first-day observers who believe in the personal coming of the Lord, and some of them (not all, by any means) presume to fix the time of his appearing. But it may be set down as a fixed fact that no Adventist who keeps Saturday ever sets time for the Lord to come. Therefore it is manifestly unjust to make wholesale assertions like that in the above quotation.
But, as before stated, there is in this case no excuse whatever for such a statement. We are well satisfied that there are many people who are not Adventists, who look upon such journalism with the contempt which it deserves. The contempt of their fellow-men, however, is nothing compared with the fate that awaits those who love and make a lie.

OAKLAND, CAL., FIFTH-DAY, OCTOBER 22, 1885.
A SMALL party expects to leave Oakland for the East Oct. 25,—three days after the date of this paper.
WE expected to be able to give in this paper the time of the session of the General Conference, but we have not received the appointment.
BROTHER A. T. JONES, of this office, is now in Healdsburg College, where he will lead the classes in Bible studies during this term, or until the holidays.

San Francisco Ship Mission.
By Editor
SPECIAL attention is called to the article in our Sabbath-school Department from Brother C. H. Jones, President of the State S. S. Association. We strongly indorse his suggestion that the Sabbath-school donations be given, as suggested, to the San Francisco Ship Mission. It is suffering—it is nearly past suffering—for want of funds. It has done a noble work, and we hope it may soon be revived; but it must have funds to pay expenses. We hope the donations will be liberal for this purpose.
Carson City, Nevada.
Elders Briggs and Colcord report that they have closed their tent work in Carson City. Fourteen signed the covenant, and several others are keeping the Sabbath of the Lord. The interest in the truth seems to be wide-spread, and they will continue their labors in that part of the country.
Sabbath-School Lessons.
By Editor
WE regret that during the camp-meeting, and in the unusual press of work since, some departments of our paper did not receive all the attention we desired. We can say that everything is progressing in good order at this time, and all branches of the work seem to be prospering in the office.
A letter received from beyond the mountains informs us that our lessons reach them too late for use. On this account we publish two this week, which will make us all right in the future with the more distant fields. We thank our informant for the explanation.
Rain in California.
THERE has been some rain in many sections in California during the past week. It has given nature an improved appearance. The profusion of flowers now out and putting out in the yards in this city must attract the attention of strangers at this time of year. It seems as if every heart should readily praise God for his goodness, in such a land as this. But nature's bounties cannot subdue the carnal mind. "Only the blood of Jesus" can accomplish this. And the heart sanctified by the grace of God through Christ can rejoice and sing praises on a barren coast, or amid the snows of the mountains. We know this to be the truth, and it is far more satisfying to the soul than all the theories of science or the fallacies of infidelity. They to whom it is "foolishness" are to be pitied, though the treasures and pleasures of this "present world" may be showered upon them.
Hold the Fort Expurgated in Turkey
The stirring hymn, "Hold the Fort," has been pronounced revolutionary in Turkey, and has been expurgated from all Sankey hymn-books received by the American missionaries.
A Catholic Reviewed.
By Editor
THE reply to the letter from a Catholic, which will be found in the editorial columns of this paper, is worthy of a careful perusal. We once noticed a sermon by "Father Gavazzi," in which he referred to the Catholics teaching that many tried to climb the ladder at which Christ stood, who fell back and failed, but all succeeded who attempted to climb that where the Virgin Mary stood. A Catholic wrote to us a letter declaring that Gavazzi's statement was a falsehood, and called upon us to recall it, and confess our wrong in giving such a falsehood to the public. We then wrote several articles, proving by authentic Catholic publications that the Romish system is Mariolotry, and not Christianity. And from a book published under the sanction of the church, entitled "The Glories of Mary," we quoted the very words that Father Gavazzi used. We then called upon the writer of the letter to acknowledge his error, and withdraw his accusations against us. This we had a right to do, but we never heard from him again.
The Catholics have so long denied the facts of history and their own literature that they seem to take it for granted that the Protestants ought to be willing to ignore these facts when asked to do so. They must themselves be ignorant on these subjects, or presume largely on the ignorance of all the world besides, to expect that we shall withhold these things from our readers at anybody's request. The papal system never changes. This is their boast, but it is fatal to their claims. If they could only show that they had outgrown the spirit of the dark ages, we might tolerate the system. But the disposition to burn heretics still remains; the power only is wanting.
But we would not have our readers think that human nature is worse in the Catholic Church than in any other. The system gives the opportunity to human nature to develop its worst features. This is why we are opposed to the Religious Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. There is too much unrenewed human nature in the Protestant churches to make it safe to trust them with the same power to enforce their faith by law. We dislike heresy, too; but the highest office which Christ gave to his ministers is that of "ambassadors." 2 Cor. 5:20. When they become executioners, they are guilty of a shameful usurpation. The people will find it safe and prudent to keep this power out of their hands.
The Smoking-Car and the Hog-Pen
By Editor
The Boston Transcript says: "There may be filthier places than the American smoking-car, but it has not been our ill fortune to find them." Our experience has not been identical with that of the editor of the Transcript; we have seen some hog-pens that were even worse than any smoking-car we ever saw. They were very few, however. But then farmers take better care of their hogs than they used to, and besides we have not seen all the smoking-cars. We are not disposed to dispute the matter; perhaps for filthiness the smoking-car does discount the hog-pen.
