It is a.place of refuge for'tho barking nationality, for tinder its ample wing it affords complete protectioirngaiiiBt all comers. ^ Europe gravitates between pence and wiir ; i and diplomacy oscillates between these conditions. If war is prevented, diplomacy gets tbo credit and its noble mission Is chanted by tbo nations of the earth, if the yawning abyss opens and swallows a portion of humanity with n vast treasure, lamentations go forth that diplomacy did not intercede and spare the scourged victims of ruthless war. Wliile ifhas ployed a conspiouous part in Europe since the time of the First\ Napoleon, its efforts pale before its achiovementain tho present jnpddle, Eor months Europe has hung upou the verge of war with nothing hut diplomacy to avert it. Tho paraphernalia tif war has decupled tho attention of rulers and peo pie to the detriment of every other Inter cat. Armed to the teeth tbe impatient warriors await the order whioh diploma- ey postpones and may evoutually.extir pate. . Diplomacy did not flourish prior to 1800.

He dran't stop and open negotiations ■witlv his rivals as to what lengths he snoald go In disposing of the spoils, or as to whore tho boundary lines should eommenee and end in appropriating the euumj ’ s territory. The right of eon quest then was the right to parry off'and despoil everything within jroaoh. No powerful hand interfered to stay the rav ages of victors or to enter a protest against their excesses. With the advancement of civilization we have progressed not only in tho art of war but la the means of avoiding it. Biplomaoy has accomplished much in this direottou, and it is every day inoroas- ing.its intluenoe. .Its power for good can not be over-estimated. It has stayed the tide of buttla many times. It has cooled tho passions of men and reasoned with them after every other moans hnd failed. The mission of diplomacy is grand, buty-lt has not begun to develop its hidden powers for ameliorating the condition of the human race. Europe is stronger, grander and more useful to day than ever beforo in its history. Her armies wore never so imposing or so effeotivo as at this moment. Notwith standing all this, publio opinion compels tho aggressor to give good and substan tial reasons tor engaging an enemy. If these are not furnished, tho'-moml atti tude oil Europe is against the attacking party, and combinations nro.npt to be j made which will end In the latter ’ s over throw. This is the power dlplomaoy.ex ercises In European affairs, and who will.question its nsefuluoas. V ; ,- . : Sensible mul True.

An important decision has been rend ered by Judge Blatohford, id the H. 8.

George B. Bomson, bankrupt, effected a composition settlement with bis cred itors, agreeing to pay thorn partly in cosh and partly la notes.

Deports from various other points, East and South, nasort a similar visitation, hut with far less damaging results. Tho courts have dcoided, in the ease of Bringham Young's will, that the property belonging to the Mormon Church shall bo paid back.

It is said that there are growing signs of disaffection and dissension among the Mormons throughout tho Territory. \ It is well in these days of flnnnolnl pressure not to forget tho real advance whioh the country is making in the sub stantial elements of its .material prosper ity. A comparison recently made in Con- gross between the Agrionltiiral products of 1870 and 1878 shows that the number of ttoros under cultivation.has increased by one-third, the live stock by from ouo- quarter to one-half, the wheat crop by over one-half, and other staples in simi lay proportions.

Will the Doug Islander plonso make a note of the Ihot'Oiat the Tablet k not in Ex-Jiidgo Bench ’ s Investments. In on account recently published, re garding some of tho real estate invest ments of tho late ex Judge Beach, some statements wore made which, it is alleg ed, do injustice to him and bis associates. It was said that Mr. John A. Betts testi fied beforo tho Surrogate of Queens County recently, that himself, Judge Beach and Charles J. Lowrey bought property in Douglass street,-Brooklyn, in 1870, the tillo being takon^in Mr.Botts ’ name, ho executing bond.iCnd mortgage to Jolm B. Luyster, when in reality the property was owned by Judge Beach. The testimony which Mr. Beits gave dif fered in some material points from tho publisbeij account. E, 8. Mills, O. J. Lowrey'nnd John A. Betts bought prop erty in Douglass street, m 1870, and the title was taken in Mr. Betts ’ name, and the bonds and mortgages were made by Mr. Betts to the estate ol Peter Luyster and tbe money was paid to Mr, Mills. Judge Beach had no interest irr-tho prop erty wliioh at-that-time was considered ample security for .the money. After tho death of Mr. Mills, in 187?, Judge Beach purchased the fee of tho property to save the expenses ol a foreclosure but found tbat under the Mill ’ s will the title would bo dofootivo and a foreclosure was nooessary to make a good title. Tlie.IIuntlngton Long Islander says : We wore visited In this vicinity with a heavy frost on Monday night, whioh considerably damaged corn and tender plants, and nipped potatoes. It wholly ruined sweet potatoes that were trails- planted, Cherries and other kinds of fruit sre also considerably damaged. In tbe neighborhood south, of West Hills, iind about Melville, ioo was formed. Tho same thing happened in the lower part ol onr village. The thermometer stood below thirty dogreos on Main street at about five o'clock on Tuesday morning. The'.oold weather had driven tbe potato bugs into the ground, find probably de stroyed tiieir newly laid eggs, so tbat it is not altogether an uninixcd evil. ” Tho peach crop in Delaware promises a fair supply tho coming season.

Should the market warrant the shipment, Wisopmio and Somerset counties, Md., will send fully two hundred and fifty thousand quarts. From Worcester and Dorohps- tor counties, Md,, and Sussex county, Del, , reports agree that there is a pros pect of one-third of a full crop of peach es and full crops of strawhorries aud 'hlaoliborries. * Miss Emma Kirby, of Lake Boukon- komn, died on Wednesday from an over dose of laudanum, She was 18 yours old.

Tilt I'recioiis Metals, The discovery and increased produc tion of the precious raotala in the Unit ed .States iu O by no means tho' Ichst wonderful ofpvents in our history ns a nation. It is scarcely thirty years since iho greater portion of our then limited Oqppqr of gold and silver was de- . rived from foreign sources.. In 1818 wo worn mining a little gold in Georgia, and until the disepvory of gold in California, in 1818, our whole production of this metal averaged lets than, a million dol lars a year. .Since then the production has borderdd on the marvolltmiq having never been less than $80,000,1100 per an num, and otiao (inlfift?) it reached the enormous aggregate of $00,000,000; so that, hetweeb the: ycar lhtH and . 1877 tho entire gold production reached the immense sum pi $1,367,080,709. So for as we know, the silver produc tion of the country previous to 18~49 was simply confined to the trifling amount separated -from lead and copper ores aiid not deemed of sufficient importance to become a matter of record. From 1849 to 1861 the averngo yearly production Iroin all sources did not ex- ceedlTodTOOO, but by hmv discoveries of silver mxnos increased to $8,000,000 in 1801, increasing pretty steadily each year finally reaching the sum.of $1.0,000,000 in' 1870. ' Sinco then, the iucreaoo of production of onr mines aggregated $11- B,000,000; nnd lor.a period ol niuetdhn years $294,500,000. Since 1845, a period ol thirty-two years, tho entire prodoc- ’ tion ol onr gold and silver mines, foot np $1,064,480,769, an nverago of more than. $52,000,000 per year. It is impossible for the human mind to form a definite conception of tho sum, ns expressed in tho grand total of pro ductions ns given above, but-it may help us somewhat iu pur effort to realize its vastness to say that, could a child com mence to count at birth, and count a dollar at a timo, at the rate of one each second, and continue counting unceas ingly ’ night and day until the comple tion of his task, fhe child would hecomo a man of nearly fifty-three years when his labor was completed. ’ Crops In Central New. York. . - The present bids fair to even exceed tho fruitfulness of tho last season-. The fruit orop especially, promises to bo im mense. The Utloa Herald sums up the prospect In'Central Now York as fol lows ; From all parts of tho country comes report that the present spring has rarely if ever had Jts .equal for early, fine growing weather. , Grass Was so well advanced that many\ herds wore turned out to pasture as early as April 20. \To day orchard grass is two and a half feet high in some localities. Clover ia doing well, and luo.ernajiflfteeu inches long. Fall wheat is in splendid condition, and stands two feet high. Bye, which was sown later, has boon more or less killed ■ three weeks ago in some instances, and is now three inches out of ground. Oats were sown abont two weeks sined ’ , aiid have begdn to make thoir -appearance. Potatoes vte.ro planted ■ early in April, mid already make a very good showing. Wo do not hear much complaint of the bugs. Sweet corn, which is a delicate crop, and will not boar much exposure, wus put in about ton\ days ago aud Inis had nothing to put it back thus far. •Enough rnih has fallen to keep tho soil in good condition, without making it heavy or creating freshets. Apple frees are blossoming freely, and the currant and goosohury bushes'are just ready to do likewise. . Seedsmen, whoso sales usually run along until tho first-of June have already finished up their spring trade.

W ashjnpton , May 20 — Ministev Sew ard sends; to the State Department ac counts of the Chinese famine np to the middle of March la'sfcv The distress oc casioned ihy the lamina last year, is spreading Over a muoli wider area owing to renewed drought; The district now affected comprises parts of, or the whole of the provinces of Shansi, Chihli, Shan tung; Shensi, ' Holiau, Szchuem, aiid Kansu. Actual famine is pressing upon 15,(100,000 of people, while fully 60,000,- 000 are suffering more or less distress. The Chinese journals teem with accounts of the Buffering. One of, the most pitia ble features of tho tamine is that there is an abundance'of food iu the country nnd it is only the lack'of,transportation h misery and loss which causes so milch of life. The crops have been good im mediately around , the stricken districts, but as food can only be transported on l .wagona,Qr.'.pack-animalft,Jt,cannot be ta ken thither in sufficient, quantities to save the lives of the people. The Chi nese officials have done all that is possi ble. The missionaries are distributing relief ns best they may. The Chinese have usually classed opium and mission aries as among-the chief evils due to foreign intercourse, but the latter are now winning favor through the practical help they afford. ■There are numerous refugees from tlie famine district in Pe - king aud Tientsin. In the latter city a house made of mats for Ufa aecommoda- '4bn \of It&rwiflfritrg women an d children- was recently trarn'edTYinrd-ISO lives lost. These recurring famines may lead the Chinese to reoognizo the need of enoour- nging adequate means of internal com munication. • On Tuesday the friends of Rev. Joseph Huber, of.

He preach ed Soeinian^m and carried wirib “ him about ' hovcii-itights . of tbo entire membership. Not tliat they all denied the doctrinda of. tlio.Trinity, the deity of Christ, tho vicar ious atonement, etc., but that they would not be dogmatically held to'tboso ihigtriuce. ; In both branches of — t]io-deuomifmtioim tiieso dogmas have long agb beeh regulatcd to Die individual conscience, so that while the Bopurabe existence is still maiutained, there are in both sects individuals who hold religious views that are not strictly e6mpa tiljle-\vith those held by tho major ity, Neither branch of rilie denomination reeogipzck the saeiament as other Chris tians do by symbols. Tho only baptism they hold co is that ol Christ, who baptiz es his people with the' Holy Ghost. In re gard to the Liuds Supper they hold that the lrue supper is tlie communion whicli his believing child)on are ‘ enabled -to \hold ___ iin thoir hearts, They believe eliicapy ol iirayer also, but ihsist that soy, two barges oomiug from Newark. During the day the Society of St. Fidelis paraded through tho streets of the vil- loge headed by .the Willetts Point band. Extra mass was held nt the church in the morning. At 3 o ’ clock dinner was served abiilonnely ’ s Hotel/which was partaken of by one hundred and soventy- tivo of the clergy. ■ Charles G.

God;'that without and that it is tiiercforoincumbent hp^^a/l, bub that in public meetings vocal prayer should be made m response to the prompt ings of the Holy Spirit. Touching tiieir ministry they ’ believe that Christ' alone calls men and women to the ministry ol his Word, flonoo many of their ablest preach ers aro women. Alisa, Sarah fcjinilo.y, one of the noted pvaupoiists and Bible expositors of Die land, belongs to Die Orlhodox Friends, though the baptists-have a claim upon bor necauso of her acceptance of the rite of immersion at Die luuuls of one <»f their clorgymon. Amanda Smith, the col ored evangelise, who has allied herself with tho Methodiats more than with any other denomination, received her early training and religious impressions among the Friends of I ’ emisylvama, aud wherever she goes throughout the land she dames with lier tho godly simplicity and devotion of life to Christ which the Friends every where exhibit. Times and Seasons, festi vals and holidays have no .special attrac tions for Friends. They believe that all days are alike to the holy id heart, and hence never observe any save Sunday of First day. The term* ‘ Quaker meet in g, ” applied to si I cut gatherings of people, will soon lose t heir meaning ii tbe Friends keep on in the limroh which tjhey have entered. In many of (heir meeting houses in this country and Great Britain singing now forms part of the worship of God, and the inspiration to preach comes upon their -men and wo men, more Ircquomly than of yore. Tliey are falling into the ways of other denomin ations in t bis aud otheri ’ espects. c - They ad vertise tludr mootings' and preachers that may be visiting tlieii) from other places, ami invite the public to thoir worship. At, certain seasons of the year they also hold “ protracted ” or revival meetings, sometime for two or more weeks in Bucoession. . It is difficult to obtain reliable statistics. One writer places the number of Quakers in the IJnifed States at uboiiti 70,01)0, while tho American Cyclopedia estimates them at 100,000, and iu other countries at about half ns many. At their coming annual meetings, the subjects'of intornatipnal ia< intruiiou to take the nlace of war, mission work at home and abroad, the spread of temperance, amt t ho transfer of the Indians to iho war departiuont will bo. discussed, . The thuveraiii l J eaco Union, composed largely pf Fniladelphia and New York Friomls of both sects, will hold its twelfth ainiiveiaafy iu I ’ unghkoepsio on June 8. It will uttorits empnatio protest against tho late and the' prospective wars iii Eu rope and pur own perpetual wars* with tho Indians. Its oJlleial organ, the Voice of Peace, of a recent di^te, puls the total ex- .pbuses of the late war' with the Sioux riu- tliauB at $a,r>l ‘ J,531. Before tbe war these same ImUaus ohovod to sell tho BlackHills about which the war was waged for $50,- 000. Fresident Grunt olicrad^*fS5;0()0, and would not advance. Reviewing the Worlds history for the last' fcweftty-tivo.yeafs tho Peace Union shows bystatistics that the loss of life by wttf within tliut pe riod reached to 1,048.000, neaVly\ two mil lions of pepplb, and the cost in money, without counting the'destruct.Rm of prop erty, $12.1(50,000,000. The ‘ greater part of tho world ’ s national debt, $20,400,000,000, say they, was created by wtir. The ataml- ing Armies cost $500,000,000 per annum. And if industry can not produce the.inter est on these $23, 4(KI, 000,000, bosides $500,-' 000,000 for the annual support of the stand ing armies, xopudiatiou and general state bnnkruptoy will follow and state securi ties will go the way of the assignats. Quakers uro disDnguishml for thrift mid uprightness The purity of their lives and their outspoken testimony against all Bins, have expicised up inlluence over the opin ions and practices of the civilized world altogether greater than that of any other body of men of no greater, numbers thak |uu* existed in modern tiiiios. If their prin ciples weio more generally adopted, even to pluinuess of drosa, a striylc would bo taken towards that glorious time which so many pray for with tbeir lipa but by thoir acts inuotinitely poatpono.
