Disestahliehment in Wales,
The British House of Commons by
majority of thirty.two has just rejected a
motion favoring disestablishment in Wales.
The closeness of the vote -203 for, and 235
against—is moat significant as showing the
trend of popular opinion in that country on
this important question. It is clear, that
unless all signs fail, the lareer question of
diaestablishment in England will soon be
amo»g the leading issues before the British
people, The discussion of the recently re.
jected motion was chiefly remarkable for the
position assumed by the Hon, Mr. G ladstone.
Twenty-one yearn ago when the question was
before tho House, the ex -Premier contended
that clisestablisInnent iu Wales meant dis-
establishment in England ; that the historic
identity was absolute, and thet there was no
analogy with the Irish disestablishment.
From both of these positions he has entirely
receded and has publicly allied himself with
those who would bring 10 108 en d the existing
rehition between Church and State in that
principality. This separation he contends
is both expedient and just. On the one
band the adherents of the Chureh of Wales
are a mere handful of the people, and on the
other the demand for disestablishment can-
not be much longer refused, Said Ile:
"Looking at their numerical preponder.
fume, and thole distribution in respect to the
various classes of society, it was not far from
the truth to say that the Nonconformists of
Wales were the people of Wales. Nobody
could doubt that they would agitin speak as
deresively as in IfiSe, when out of thirty
members twenty-seven were pledged in favor
of disestabliehmont, Such a voice could not
be much lona' contravened by English,
votes, These semi -religious controversies
were not good for tho temper or soeiali con.
dition of the country. Therefore, when tile
end is certain, there can be no advimtage
in lengthening the struggle. The English
were %just people, and would insist upon the
It receiving satiefaation of thole just
demands, whieh in like circumstances they
would claim for themselves."
No doubt the abandunment of his /Ginner
views will be regal decl with disfavor by
those whom prejudice and self-interest have
blinded, and who consider it a weakness to
change ; but to those who believe that no
now light should be rejected and that it is
no disgrace to alter one's eonolusions when
the premises have elienged, the franknees
with which the veteran stetesman acknow•
ledges his former errors and his manifest

Jesus is called before him. "Art Thou the
King of the Jews?" asks Pilate, half in

of this strange criminal, " Art Thee the
King of Lite Jews ?" And Jesus answers,
yea He is a kw, but His kingdom is not

At once goes up a great disorderly cry.
This crowd is in an instant passion, exec 0'
tion, epithets, shouts of accusation, all
sorts of fierce speech, and threats, and lies,

hurled at the silent and guiltless prisoner.
Among the riot Pilate hears the name of

And when they tell him that He is, at ones
there occurs to Pilate a way to escape out of
responsibility. Herod is in town. And
Herod is the ruler of Galilee. Christ be-
longs to Herod's jurisdiction. Ea must be
taken to Herod.
Away moves the precession through the
quiet streets. It is still the early morn-
ing. Herod is in his place. Herod

has heard of Him as a worker of wonders.
He demands that Christ shall work some

Him with questions ; Christ returns no au.

the scribes and vehemently accuse Him, but
not a word breaks that determined silence.
Again, Christ is derided. The scenes of the
house of Caispnas are repeated. "Herod,
with his men•of.war, set Him at naught, and
marked Him and arrayed Him in 0 gor-
geous robe, and sent Rim again to Pilate."
Christ has ilot spoken once. "Ho was op-
pressed and He was afflicted, yet opened He
not His mouth. He is brought as a lamb to
the slaughter, mid as a sheep before her
shearers is dumb, so Ile opened; not His
mouth." What at significant silence 1 To

him, a little purpose to do right, weak,

with a possibility of good in him, to Pilate
Christ will speak. But for Herod, foolish,
curious, sneering, He has no word. To him
Christ has only stern anti most significant
silence. So they go hack again.
Where is John? Where is Peter? Where
are the others? Have they hidden them-
selves? Rave they soughtsome upper room and
set the hamlet of barred doors and windows,

marisubit Enduronou of the Men.
The news that a whole regiment and
three battalions of intently stationed near
Pisagua, Chili, have shot their officers and
gotta over to the insurgents is generally
regarded as especially ominous for the
Chilleu Government, whieh has fewoe troops
bo lom than usually lute been supposed.
Even on paper the entire standing ariny of
Chili contains but 5,710 men and 3117 offiame,
These troops aro included in eight bat.
talions of infantry, one battalion of sappers
and miners, three regiments of aavaley, two
regiments of field aetillery. This fame was
distributed al the breaking oat of tIto peyote,.
tion as follows : In the northern provinces,
Tama, Iquique, and Antosagasto, two bat-
talions, one regiment of cavalry, and one
regiment of mail ery ; near the middle of
the country, that is, between Valpareuiso
and Santiago, three battalions, two regi•
meets of cavalry, two brigades of artillety,
and one brigade of meet artillery ; to the
south three battalions, a bettalion of sap.
pers and miners, and one regiment of eav•
airy. The effeeeive strength of the Milian
army, however, falls for below these figures.
10 1800 it was estimated at only:2,305 men ;
since, dining the period between Jan, 1 end
Nov. 1, 1,158 privates had deserted.
This rather despornte stete of affairs is
clue to several faults of army, orgaization LIS
well as to the persistent interference of in-
fluential politietans in the teohnioal manage-
ment of the solilime. In the firet place,
Chili is the only eouritty in the world that
unites a vegulav volunteer service with an
obligethey militia service. All 'mention of
the regular fenny receive liberal pay, after
the system prevalent in the United States.

feiends, by petty belbery, and in a hundred
other ways he may secure his release with-
out incurring arrest for desertion.
At the head of the Chil ian military organi•
maim; stands e Minister of War. This
Minister is known among the foreigners in
Chili as the most "nomadic. official " in the
Milian Cabinet. It is by no means infre.
quint that a Milian 51inistry falls iive or
six months after Its organization. Often,
indeed, Ministera resign four or five weeks
after having been named for office. This
fickleness of the head administrator, com-
bined with the division of responsibility
between him and two InspeetoteGenerale, la
regarded as ono of the most fruitful causes
of the demoralization of the regular service.
The drill, moreover, is concliieted on the
most antiquated lines. The =vales', for in.

The Chilian militia has a nominal strength
of 58,60.2 privates and 2,1111 officers. Lest

Despite all the dor; ei ittm of the organize -
tion, and the wide gaps in every division of
the army, the Chilian army is fer from being

The Ozar's Little Joke,
An amusing story, which illustrates lo tu
pointed way the fateleaching effects which
may attend even a small pleasantry on the
part of the Czar, has reached us front to
trusbweetny source in St Petershurgh. On
the °comfort of the reassembling of the Holy
Spied in the Russian capital ie was resolved
to forward to his Majesty, in accordance
with traditional usage, the arehiputoral
benediction. The clerk who erns employed
to prepare the document formally communi-
eating this pious resolution made a outioue
mistake by a slip of the pen. Ile wrote
" erchitectural "instead of "etrehipastotel,"
and the resolution Was forwarded without
the error being detected. When the Czar
received it he laughed heartily, and wrote
001 the margin, "1 heve no need of such
bles:sing." He then drained the
mattee from his mind, Tho document,
however, with the Imperial minetetion,
foued its way back to the Holy
Synod, and produced among tho membere of
that body the greatest surprise and eon-
sternation. Without stopping to investigate
