Trauaient ailvnrtiaemeiit cliargoil at the rate • cents per line for flrat insertion and » ceiit •acta liiibsoquuut iunertion. Dr. Grant of Kingston lias publish- ed in the Globu a series of letters strongly opposing pioliibiiioD. Some of ti>c Dr 's concluKions are : It can- not be enforced. It would create a state of nioial degradutiuu through transgressions and perjniy. It would outail a seriuns busiiiesa loss to those eogaged in the trai}i<?, and incur their vengeful displeasure. Uur cities would be " ram-ridJeu " and " rum- ruled " and prohibition would b* iaad« a questiou of politics. These are but a few of the Dr.'sconcluaionB, and we will duect attouiion to only twnoftbetn. That it would entail a aeriuUB business loss and incur the enmity of those in the traffic, and that our cities and towns would be rum ruled, appears to our lower order of comprehension as being slightly an- tagonistic hypotheses. If rum uuder prohibition would have the free hand which Dr. Grant .fuarp, why should ihjja wli-jcontfol the traffic be an- tagonistic? And Ahoi'O would pro^ periy interests be jeopardized ? Pro- hibition might not totally destroy the traffic ; neither do any or all of our laws dcslr y crime, and the cost of onfurcii/g these laws is also voiy great. Prohibition would make the belling uf liqnur a crime ; our govfrniueiit by licensing makes it a virtue'. Does Dr. Grant dure pit the miserable outcrop of perjurers and liars who tt;« with uh uow, and who might inuko thnir presence known mora ckarly under pi'ohibitiun, against the thuusandaof blasted homes, brokon-liearled mothers iind falhcrltss children of our country? It id a strange aad startling stand for uny minislcr to fake. If prohibition cannot be (iuforccd and would result in piuctically fri;e liceniio as the Dr. contends, then *.ho bujovvclled saloon keeper, the brewer and the disiillor tliould ccrtiiiiily vote fjr it wLeu the time coiniH, A deKpatoh to the papers B.ays : Li Mting Chung has appdinied «? liisfannly piiy.sioian Miss IIu King Eiig., will) studied some years uj;o in an American nii;dicni coili'ge.

Adding to this the fact that the giL-at secretary haf. been prevailed up Gu to study the Bible, and taking in- to coiihidLiaiion hi!) remarkable synipathoiic IctKr wiillen to liov. Gilbert Keid, tie christian world has good uuson to hope for the beet iu the Flowery Kingdom, and to be- hove that its overflowing millions will }fat embrace Christianity. It must be consoling to our missionary spirits to observe these bright spots of light iu the desert of stiporsiitioii and blind ignorance whicii has embraced China for BO many lung ceuturies, and to eouibat which but comparatively feeble attempts have as yet been luude. The Monnon church is by nomaana mf, a standstill, aad latest statiatios fhow that it is even very mnoh on the forward tuaroh. The N. Y. Ciiriatiau Advocate ( Methodist ) makes this ^ttement and giTci &et( to ^mIc U »«!WHHH up. It Esyg that tlie Mormons have " about 1000 missionaries at work, mostly young or middle-ttged men, all of whom travel without aalary or al- lowance from the ciiuroh ; for the chuich permits no minister to receive a salary, but to rely on the hospitality of the people." Ilereiu lies, we be- lieve, the very esdence of Mormon success, and wliere it will eud is a question worthy of thought. MiirHliall, the alledged Melaiithim fire- bug, was -Mirrittl at Omiii'.eville last week. The jury diaai-reed and the the case nill Colli u|> a<iuiii next spring.
