CHINESE PROBLEM.
Taken in whatever aspect we will, the coming of
the Chinese to America is vxcelled in importance by
no other event since tbe discovery of America. It in
one of the impulses beyond all human oouoeption or
management by which God is moving the history of
mankind onward to its great consummation."

The above paragraph we copy from
China and the United States, by the Rev.
W. Speer, D. D , and originally published
in 1872. Every year's development only
verifies more and more the truthfulness of
the statement.//So impressed has Dr. Speer
become with the importance of the Chinese
question and its ultimate results upon
America and the world, that he has resigned
his position as Secretary of the Presbyterian
Board of Education in Philadelphia, and
started lor China. It will be remembered
that Dr. Speer was formerly a missionary in
China and subsequently in California, but
in consequence of ill health was compelled
to resign his duties. With restored health
he has resigned his office, and now goes
again to China to obtain information relative
to the Chinese question, and returning to
the United States will endeavor to enlighten
the public mind. Dr. Speer is engaged in a

Prompt Punishment in the " South Seas."
1793—1876.
Some months ago news came that a native
of Apaiang, one of the Gilbert Islands, had
murdered an Englishman. We believe the
American Missionaries reported the case to
the English Government. The man-of-war
Renard was ordered to visit the island and
see that the guilty murderer was punished.
Instead, however, of standing by, as did the
great English Navigator, Captain Vancouver, under similar circumstances, and seeing
that the island authorities executed the
guilty murderer, the commander of this
vessel acted as executioner, or the punishment was inflicted by some of his own
officers and crew. The following is the report as published in the Herald, an Auckland paper:
" Amongst our items of news from the
South Seas, per Ephemey, we hear of severe
retribution on the Line Islanders, at Apaiang,
one of the Gilbert Group, who committed a
cold-blooded murder some months ago, and
which we have already recorded. The savage entered the store of a white settler, and
asked for some hair oil. On being told that
there was none in stock, he answered that
the store-keeper, Mr. Keys, should have
reserved some for him. After a few more
words he presented a revolver, and deliberately shot Mr. Keys, the wound proving
fatal. The ruffian then decamped, and fearing vengeance, to another island. The
cold-blooded and wanton murder being
noised abroad, H. M. S. Renard was sent
to search for the murderer, but until lately
he has eluded all vigilance. In June last the
Renard was at Apaiang, and hearing that
tbe man was on the island, a message was
sent to the missionary, Mr. Taylor, demanding his surrender. Through the influence
of the missionary this was accomplished;
there being no doubt as to his identity, he
was ordered to be executed summarily. The
mode of capital punishment was very simple. He was blown from a gun. and so
complete was his destruction by this means
that nothing remained of him but his legs."
Tbe foregoing statements are confirmed
by letters from the Hawaiian Missionaries as

Death of the Rev. G. B. Bacon, D. D.
We see notices in all the recent New
York papers of the death of this distinguished Divine and Pastor of the Congregational
Church in Orange, N. J. These notices are
most appreciative and eulogistic. In a private letter, dated Orange, Sept. 2&th, we
have more fnll particulars respecting his
sickness and the closing days of his useful
life. '• Throughout his sickness," writes
our correspondent, " he manifested the same
triumphant faith which had characterized
him always, and whenever we think of the
glorious rest into which he has entered and
the fulness of joy of which his great heart
and spirit are now participating, we feel that
grief at our loss should stand rebuked."
Dr. Bacon's visit, with his family, to Honolulu, will be kindly remembered by all
forming his personal acquaintance. One of
his sermons preached in Honolulu, " There
is a way out," will long be remembered from
the helpful inspiration which it imparted to
the hearer. We copy the following notice
from the Christian Union :
" The funeral services of the late Dr. G.
B. Bacon were largely attended at the
Orange Valley Church, Sept. 18th. The
train from New York brought a large delegation of friends and ministers of all denominations, sorrowing ut theirloss, rejoicing in
their brother's gain. The catholicity of Bro.
Bacon's spirit had endenred him to a wide
circle, which showed itself as Drs. Crosby
and Robinson, of the Presbyterian Church,
Dr. Hare, of the M. E. Church, Dr. Tiffany.
(Episcopalian,) Drs. Elder and Macarthur,
(Baptist,) with Drs. Storrs, Budington,
Taylor, Clapp, and numerous other brethren

Rev. G. M. Boynton, of Newark, delivered
a most appropriate address, outlining the
character of the deceased in choice and fitting phrase. The service was such as our
brother would have had it—simple, sincere,
Christian—and all joined heartily in the
prayers of Rev. Mr. Ely. thankful for hi?
life in its richness and sweetness, and for his
calm, peaceful entrance into eternal joy and
service. " Perhaps to-morrow I shall touch
the hem of His garment," said our dying
brother. He touched and lives forever, above
the power of sickness or distress. All sympathize with Dr. Leonard Bacon in the
sorrow of his old age."
Though some few drops of love may run
beside to our kindred and alliance, yet the
full torrent must run out after Christ; relations may lie in the bosom, but Christ must
lie in the heart.

Teaching
Blind Japanese
to
Read—An
American missionary in Japan has devoted
his attention to the philanthropic work of
providing a literature for the blind in that
country. This wns no easy task, for. although n raised type could be made without
difficulty, to make a raised type in Japanese
that would be legible to the touch required
considerable ingenuity. In the Kalakana or
current language of Japan there are seventy
eight characters, which represent as many
sounds, and many of them so closely resemble each other, and are beside so intricate m
in their composition, as to present a difficulty in the way of their application to a blind
syllabary which can only be imagined by
students of the language This difficulty
was overcome by applying the Romanized
equivalents (which are seldom of more than
two letters each, and seldom exceed three)
of the sounds to the foundation of a syllabary.
The success of this system has been une-

the government of Japan, it is stated, is taking measures to have it introduced into the

day the education of the blind in Japan and
elsewhere will reach a point far beyond that

English Missionary
Vessels.—The Wasleyan
Mission brig John Wesley arrived at
Samoa, on the Bth July, from Sydney via
Fiji, and left again for New Guinea on the
20th. The London Missionary Society's
bark John Williams arrived at Apia on the
21st July, from a three months' cruise, and
sailed again for Sydney on the 27th.
A train of one hundred and ten cars, with
more than 5,000 passengers on board, ran
from Pittsburg to the centennial the other
day. It was the largest train ever on the
Pennsylvania road, and probably the largest
passenger train ever run on any road. It
made its way on time without interfering at
all with the regular trains.

Tbe following
ively by Capt. Owen and Cupt. Betij. Whitney,
late of tbe bark Arctic, will be read with interest:
Heport of Burk Three Brothers*
from Honolulu for the Arctic Ocean on tbe -6th sf
March. Tourhed at Kauai the Bttfc, and on the 19th of
April passed into Behrlng Sea, through the ITS panage;
made ili>- ice on the 23d, and Cape Nsvrin ou the 24th; th*
woathrr was cold, hut muchlew Ice than I expected to eec.
On the 20th fell iu with ship Marengo, with Capt, Fratrr
and the officer* and crew of thebark Illinois on board. Tho
latter had been run Into by the Marengo aod mink. a f»*w
dayspruvlou*. Took ou board of my ebip an officer and
boats crew of tbe wrecked people. Cruised In Arctic 8«a
two or threeweeks, and saw but very few whale*. Passed
into BehrliiK -Straits May 14th, and|;ot B bohaad that day.
On the 18th had a sninit H K gale, and lost the atarboaid
bow boat, ('mined in tbe Strait* until Juno M, and then
panned into tho Arctic Ocean, and commenced walraeaiiiKTook aboutI WW walrus during the inotith, which made us
1050 barrels oil. Worked up tbe ens! shore towards Point
Barrow, anrl panned ley Cape July 12th, and Point Belcher
ou the 14th. Here we heard of the bark Arctic being losl,
having S4M crushed in the Ice. The captain and crew
worked aonsi the ice, and we in roitijtany with the barks
Onwark hihI Desmond, sent a boat, to their relief, and got
ilinn ou board of our ship* on the 18th m-t. Transferred
some of them to the Cornelius HoWland nnd Rainbow the
name night. Prom this date worked up the east shore
again "lowly, and continued fi, company with tho ttarksKainbow and others. Xhe Kalnbow got ashore ou tbe 24th, and
they had to break'evorything out to get her off. Assisted
Iniii to get off, and we got up to Point Burrow the 27th of
July. Could not go any forlner with the ship, and had to
wait there until August 14th, before we saw any whale*.
Prom this dateuntil tbe last of the month; took 8 whnlet
in the vicinity of the Point. Having had much westerty
and snuthwenterly winds, and hoen troubled a good deal
with Ice probably on account of so much westerly wind, *<>
found It a much more Icy season than we anticipated, and
tho latter part of August, about tbe 24th, tbe ice closed in
on the laud, and beset the most of the fleet, and drifted
them to the eastward outsideof the ground ice, passing th«
Point on tbe27tb, wbeie two of n* w**re anchored, protected
by the ground Ice, yet packed in by a heavy and Impenetrable bod* of ice, extending far away to the northw.-nt,
north and uorthennt, nud in this the ton ships were drifting
helplessly past. We lost sight uf them on the 28th, and as
day after day panned with nothing but Ice, ice, ice td senward, our situation began to look serious Ou tbe Oth of
reaCi we »aw a large party coming from tbe eastward,
through the lagoons, with boats crowded full of people to
the number of twenty in a boat, which told us of tbe lose or
their ships, abandoned, hopelessly beset In the ice. And
they found us still cloned In by tbe same great pack as they
had drifted In for 60 or 00miles during the tea days prevlou*.
And now thereseemed grave apprehensions of the future.
fir although there are probably two or three vessels sutalde
somewhere, yet it was found loipuasible to go to the ■*. W,
even to the end of tbe Ice, oi to open water, on account of
there being no boat passage, and the Impossibility of trans*
Ho they all returned to Point
porting boats over land.
Harrow and c •utemplated building Winter quarters, and
forming a sort of Oo-operatlve Union, to make a common
stock out of all tbe scanty stock of provisions on board the
four vessels, namely : Tbe Rainbow, Tbe Three Brother*.

closed in as ourselves. And to help oa to live and support
life, h strong party was to keep constantly out la the boat
1.Hiking for whales, and catch all that they possibly could
for food for ns to eat.
All of this and many more things were thought of and
contemplated, end neglecting to send shore parties to th•s. W. to try aod communicate with tbe outside vessel*.
Hot It waa unexpectedly worked oat by thehands of Pro.
vldence in a much brighter and better way, even after the
manner of His great work, which to ua neem so convincing
that over the destinies of man a Merciful Ruler presides,
and to Him be our thanks due. The wtnda breesed up from

began to make us again view tho pronpecta of 'in Arctic

Report of Bark Arctic.
Left Honolulu March 20,187d, bound to the Arctic Ocean.
Had very bnd weather on the passage up to the Fox Islands.
Went through the 172 Passage April 19, and had good westher
from there up to Gape Noverene. Made the Ice off Cape Thaddeus April 26. Saw a few whales off shore. Got In close to
Plover Bay May 12, re Ice there. Found plenty of Ice in tho
Straits and also plenty of wslrus. Got the first walrus May
28, off King's Island. Went through Bhering's Straits Into
tbe Arctic Ocean on the 3d of June. Stowed down the last lot
of walrus July 3d, on the 4th of July was off Point Hope In
company with the Onward, steering to the northward. Had
light southerly winds, no ice in eight.
July 6th, light winds from south, steering to the northward
along the land in company with the bark Onward. Passed
ley Cape, aaw scattering Ice off shore, and plenty or walrus iv
tbe water.
July nth, first psrt fresh southerly winds and plessnnt
weather—steeringalong the land, which was distant six iul|< s.
Saw ths Ice 12 miles off shore, huffed toby the wind. Saw
wslrus on the Ice and lowered for (hem, but drove them off
without getting any. Stood off shore to the ice, the wind
dying oat to a calm, and It coming In a thick fog, anchored in
14 fath ma of water. TheOnwardabout two miles off. Found
ths current running about four knots an hour. At 8 P. M.
the let surrounded us, and striking the bark very heavy, was
obliged to heave ap the anchor and drift with the Ice to keep
from being store. Drifted along between ths ground ice and
the psek Ice, the ice striking the vessel very heavy snd rolling
her from one side to the other—the Ice getting under the bark's
bottom snd lifting her up, tearing copper and sheathing off.
July 7th.—Begins with a (hick fog. Ship still In the Ice.
At T a. M. the fog lifting, found we had driftedabout 30 miles
to the northward. Sea Horse Island, la sight At 10 r. st the
ice opened a little, snd tbe wind breeslng up from the S- K.
Made sll sail and worked the ship to thesouth; dear wster

bark fast to a large floe of ice, laying quite easy until halfpast eleven; the Ice theo begluniug to work snd grind around
the bark, one large cake of Ice working and striking the vessel
very hard under the counter. Bearing a loud cracking under
the counter as of plank breaking, sounded the pumps and
foand 80 inches water In the hold. Started the pumps, and
taking off the run scuttle foand tbe water ooming in with a
rush each side of the stern poet, about 0 feet from the water's

and settling fast. At Bam of the 10th nothing was to be seen
of the ship's hull, but about one half ofthe port side.
By observation on the Ice, Refuge Inlet bore W. distant 20
miles- All hands started for the shore, hauling one whale boit
and the yawl boat, with whst provisions we could csrry.
Hauled the what, boat about 2 miles, when the Ice being so
full of hummocks, found it would take a number of days to
haul her to the shore, and so were forced to abandon her, the
men carrying what they could on theirbacks. Al 9A. M., on
the 11th. the first party reached the shore, snd at 12 M-, the
second party arrived. At 9A.M. ot the 12th, the third party
with the yawl boat arrived, and s P. M the fourth and M
party came, making tbe ship's company complete, all landt-d
safely on the land, but with very little provisions, and only
ont> shift of clothing. Lauded at Woody Inlet pretty well
used up.
July 13th, tbesecoud aod third mates with a party of men,
started south to try and find a ship; they travelled by land,
walking as far as Sea Horse Islands, where they found three
ships laying st anchor; the barks Three Brothers, Onwnrd uud
Desmond*, they sent three boats to our assistance, as noon as
they heard that we required It. At ;i P. M. on tbe 13ihthe
wind breesing up from tbe X N. E the Ice commenced opening snd moving off shore, and on the morn inif of the 17th,
Ihe shore being al) clear of Ice, the captsln With tho rest of the
officers sod crew Blurted south, some in the smsllboat, and the
rest by land, walking along the rhore In about three hours
after we started, we fell in with two boats, one from the berk
Three Brothers and one from the Onward, who were looking
for us. They took us all in theboats, and we arrived on board
of the ships July 18th where we were kindly received by Captains Owen, Lapham and Green.
