G. Boyd rrom the Navy' Mining rtegion. Toronto, Nov. 8.—Mr. D, G. Boyd,. inspector of the Michipicoteu mining division, has returned to the fifty for the winter. . He states that the steamer Telegram ran her last trip for the season between Sault Ste, Marie and the Miehipieoten Dort on Sunday last. About forty per- sons came down in her, almost all of whom were prospectors A town site is. being surveyed at the junction of the Magpie and Michipicaten rivers by Mr Joseph Cozens, BLS, and the prospects are that in the spring there will be a great rush into that region. The Great Northern Mining Company will have eight men at work during the Winter, the intention being to sink a shaft 00 feet deep, and then. `strike in," The company feels satisfied with the re- sults it is obtaining. Assays have given $20 to $25 to the ton, and in most oases wherever the quartz is ohipped free gold Is visible. The vein in the two claims of the company runs north and south for nearly threeseameters of a mile, and is from eight to ten feet wide Mr Henry Dreamy, of North Bay, intends to plaoe three men at work stripping veins in his claim during the winter. The total number of claims recorded in, the Miobiplooten eistriet is 175. . LESSON vil, FOURTH QUARTER, INTER- NATIONAL SERIES, NOV. 14.

IvT. steams. • 17. "After three daye Paul called the chief a the Jews together." The express eon "three days" is so suggestive of reser- rection that one canna fail to think of -3 Who has anything of the spirit of Paul, who had as one of his heart utterances "That 1 may know Him and tbe power of His resurrection" (Phil. ill, 10). At bis conversion he was three days without sight, and then Ananias came to hini, sent, of God. Probably he gave himself to prayer these three days in Rome that be might be fully in the Lord'ehands as Hismessenger to accoreplisb His pleasure, ad now the principal Jews of the city have come to- gather to hear what he has to say. 18. "There was no cause of death be me." Yet bere he is ia Rome a prisoner by thewill of God. So there was no cause in Christ why He ehould be hated (Joim xv, 25) or crucified, yet by the will of God Ho suffered the just for the unjust. To be willing to endure hardship for the good of others is Oliristlikes for He loved us and gave Himself for us, leaving His home in glory for over 33 years and suffering all the bunsiliation consequentupon His being the sinner's substitute, that wo who accept Him might not only be saved, but share His glory. 19. "Not that I had aught to accuse ix a nation of," Although it was through his own people that ho was now a prlsolier, yet he would not accuse them, but rather see the hand of God la it all and continue to love and pray for his poor, blinded pee. p Ie. See his heart for them in Rom. i' 3, and x, 1, "I could wish that myself wore accursed from Christ for my breth- ren." "Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they might be saved." And it was his custom always as here in Rome to seek the Jews first. 20. "For the bop() of Israel I am bound with thisobain." By comparing chapters xxiii, 6; xxiv, 15; xxvi, 6, 7, it is evident that the hope Which Paul meant was asso- elated with resurrectime, the resUrrootion of Christ and then of His people, The resurrection spokes] of in Dan. xii, 1-8, and in Hos. vi, 2, and elsewhere—very fully is Ezek. xxsvii, where it is said that they shall be one nation in their own land under one king, never to be divided live Them in the Parm House )3, Went Visiting—A Shoo/sing Greets Them on Their Return.

The plaintiff than addressed the court, declaring be had been told that the Prime; of Wales received the money re- ferret' to,and then he proceeded to charge Lord Bramwell with defrauding Allen's widow out of $15,000 in order to obtain and a peerage. promotion"Awkwardnessa The plaintiff was here stopped by the th court withe warning to speak resPae- fully of judges.

"As concerning this sect we know that everywhere it is spoken against." They had heard nothing evil of Paul, but they had heard the followers of this Jesus Christ spoken against. Simeon said to His mother that He would be for a spoken against (Luke ii, 84), and it is written, "All that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persaoution" (II Tim. 12). The carnal mind is enmity against God, and the wisdom of this world knows not God. . 28.

"And when they agreed not among themselves they departed after that Paul had spoken one word." That one - word was a quotation from Isa. vi, 9, 10, and is also found in Math. sill, 14, 15; John xii, 40; Rom. xi, 8. Isaiah having seen His glory and having heard the ques- „se ,„„, ' will ''1", "Whom shall I send and who igo for as?" replied, "Here am I, send me.' , Then he was told that the eople to whom he was sent would not all eP•eceive his mes- -sage.

It is rather startling to find that coal can be mined in China and sold in Gall- fornia at a' profit, says L000motive En- gineering. Several cargoes of coal from China have been imported into Cali- fornia, and it is reported to be of very good quality. Those who are familiar with the coal market say that within hinese coal mines very few years the Chinese will supply the whole market of the coast, exoept those portions where coal is found. The extremely cheap labor of Cisina enables the coal to be brought to the surface at a very low price. The onlv obstacle to very active competition - in this industry at present is the want of good transportation facilities in China. THE NEW YORK ELECTION.

The pith of the sunflower stem is said to be the lightest substance known. Its • .... t • - specific etavity is 0.•028, as compared with 0.09 for elder pith, hitherto recog- nizeci as the lighter material, and 0.1 for reindeer hair and 0.24 for cork. The sun flower le extensively cultivated in central Russia, mainly for its seeds. But the discovery of the extreme lightness of ite pith has added to its commercial value. For life saving appliances at sea cork has a buoyancy of 1 to 5 and reindeer hair 1 to 10, while sunflower pith has a buoyancy of 1 to 85. The Total Catch Made by the Victoria Boats.
