_A Srrance Marrtace.—Mr. G. D. Mc- Kay, one of the missionaries of the Presby- terlan Church stationed at Formosa, China, has Just married a Chinese girl, Miss Chang Mia Tsong. Mr. McKay is a former Oxford County, Ont., boy, and is well known to many of our readers.

With his na- tive wife, Mr. McKay expects to be greatly assisted in his work. — Berlin (Ont. ) News.
Tue Charlottetown Amateur Orchestral Club paid a visit to Pownal on Monday last, and gave a very creditable perform- ance in the hall there. There were some drawbacks to the occasion. One: that the mass of the audience would persist in re- maining outside, thus avoiding the entrance fee ; and the other: that the mission of the Club was seriously misunderstood. There seems to have been an impression that our musical friends were a body of potato merchants, and numerous samples of tubors were thrown in through the windows for the inspection of the musicians. But for these trifles the performance was a complete suc- C238.
Tue Misses Logan & Barrp have now fairl begun their series of services in the St. Paul’s Schoolreom. Yesterday after- noon they held a Bible reading, when quite anumber of ladies were present ; and at eight inthe evening the room was well filled by a mixed audience, who, we under- stand, were well pleased with the earnest manner in which the Gospel was set forth. These ladies have been tor a considerable time engaged in this good work of supple- menting the labors of the clergy in different parts of Canada, and everywhere their visits have been remembered with great pleasure. These services are to be con- tinued at the same hours—viz., half-past three in the afternoon and at eight o’clock in the evening—during the remainder of this week—except saturday evening. All are cordially invited to attend both after- noon and evening meetings.
A satton named Abraham Rapsom cre- ated a lively scene on Richmond Street to-day at 2 o’clock. It appears that in mid-winter a warrant was issued against Rapsom for breaking into the house of Mr. George Henderson, en Brackley Point Road, and stealing therefrom a coat belong- ing to Mr. Henderson. He was shortly afterwards arrested at Morell by Constable Larter, but made good kis escape from Larter’s custody, and up to the 17th ult. was unheard of. On that day Mr. Henderson was coming to this City, and when a mile from his residence he saw Rapsom on a by-way, carrying a coat under his arm, which bore a striking resemblance to one which Mr. Henderson left hanging in his room before he departed for this city. He immediately returned to his house and found that it was again bur- glariously entered and another coat taken, no doubt by Rapson. He came to the city, issued a warrant, proceeded in company with Constable Larter to a schooner where they heard Rapson had shipped, and suc- ceeded in arresting him at 7 o’clock in the evening, On their way to jail he made a noisy resistance at the corner of Queen and Richmond Streets, and a crowd who had assembled at Market Hallthat evening to hear the result of the elections, surrounded the Constable, and Rapson again made his escape. He was re-arrested on the following morning; and, on the 24th ult., exe amined before Theoph DesBrisay, Esy.,and remanded for further evidence until to-day. An important witness did not appear, and the Magistrate thought it necessary to order
& further remand. He did so, and when at the corner of Pownal and Richmond Streets on his way to Jail, in charge of Constables Larter and McQuillan, Rapson left their custody, and sped down Richmond Street, hotly pursued by McQuillan and Later. It was @ lively chase. Rapson continued to the end of the street, and was leaving his pursurers at every stride. Arriving at the ead of Richmond. Street the tide was! ‘* bloek in,” and rather than wade or swim, he gave himself up. He was then securely

The Khedive Bankrupt,
- —— The Khedive is bankr a i , | dive is bankrupt, and has, it may ve Said, made an arty :
assignment of his prop-
tle owes vast sums to creditors in England vid k rance, Some of these mainly English, with the sanction more or less emphatic and distinct of their Covernments, appointed a committee to look into the Khedive's affairs.
h's ¢ mumittee, though we presume they had no immediate means of exerting influence ex- cept that known as moral suasion, took very high grounds, They informed the Khedive that there was only one mode of satisfying his creditors—that mode was by the unconditional surrender of his private property, known as the Daira, to the State, and the equally uneondi-
and, in some possible future conjecture of af- fairs, making it possible that the Sultan should withdraw his authority—a matter cf small consequence if the vassal kingdom were
strong within itself, but involving ap- preciable risks, if it were in dis} order, with no means of obtaining
money from’ outside capitalists. Small as! were the material means of enforcing the de- mands of the Commission, the Khedive, after trying to pacify its members by various dodges and modifications of their plan, at length gave up the game. The consequence has been the appointment of Nubar Pasha, an Europeanized Egyptian,as his Prime Minister, who has given the Ministry of Finance to an Englishman, Mr. Rivers Wilson, the chief of the late meddlesome commission. We are not informed at the moment whether the idea has been carried out; but it was expected that Nubar Pasha, in order to avoid hurting French susceptibilities, would appoint a Frenchman to the Ministry of Public Works. Thus the two most important portfolios of this Oriental Mahommedan Government will be in the hands of two European Christians, whose simple qualifications for their functions will be their scientific knowledge of engineering and finance. What an extraordinary revolution to be brought about by three or four quiet gentle- mer. in frock coats, and stove-pipe hats, and mutton chop whiskers, whose simple means of a was the threat that they would de- c

An Island Shattered by an Earth- quake.
Reports of a remarkable convulsion of na
are vouched for by Captain Kilgour, master of the schooner ‘‘ Stanley.” The phenomenon oecurred on the 10th of January last. At that date a very severe shock of earthquake was experienced, and immediately afterward a body of land estimated at forty acres, situated at the north entrance of the harbor, slid into the sea, and was instantly absorbed out of sight, as if it were a_ pebble, moment a tidal wave, twenty feet high, swept over a portion of the Island, but for some un- known cause its force was spent very sudden ly. A few days after these events Captain Kilgour entered the harbor, but did not deem it wise to anchor, he having observed the strange look of the shore since he last visited Tanna. ‘aking a ship’s boat he went ashore and learned the facts already stated, and7also that considerable damage had been done to property by the tidal wave. Several native houses were swept away, and a large cobra store and all its contents dashed to ieces in an instant. Fortunately only a few ives were lost. The harbor, too, suffered seriously, the depth of water having been les- sened by six feet all over, and rocks previous- ly hidden out of sight are now plain to view. The entrance to the harbor remains unchanged. During the earthquake and tidal wave the greatest terror seized the natives, who believed that themselves and their Island was about to be swallowed up. At the time of the depar- ture of the ‘‘Stanley,” fears were entertained that another eruption would follow, but up to later dates we have no news of such being the fact, and it is to be hoped that the terrified Islanders have escaped further terrors.
