A MERRY CHRISTMAS,
THERE will be no issue of the Hongkong Telegraph on the agth (Christmas Day) and |26th (Bozing Day) init, as we desire on these days to give our hard-worked staff a fow hours recreation. On and after Monday next this journal will be quite 'up to its old form. The rumours that have been sofadastriously circulated these past two days by interested person
are you listening, "Brawale"?—to the effect that the Editor of this journal intends shortly shaking the dust of Hongkong off his feet, are absolutely without foundation; no amount of interested opposition can difre us from following ont aur policy of independent criticism in dealing with crying public abuses, and one, will remain until wrong has been exposed and colours have been nailed to the mast, where they
right thoroughly indicated.
AT the Magistracy to-day twenty-four gamblers were fined $5 each for having more money than

THE United States Postmaster-General, Mr. Wanamaker, some time ago started a mission in one of the worst sections of Philadelphia. He wanted to build a large church, and thought it would be a good plan to interest all the Sunday scholars in the enterprise. With this end in view he told the school one Sunday that he wanted each scholar to bring three bricks the next Sunday as bis contribution to the new buliding, Abrick, my children," be usid, "will only cost a low cents, and you can all deny yourselves some little thing to help along the good Work." The next Sunday Mr. Wanamaker's
to the Sonday-school that over geoo bricks had been contributed by the good boye and girls of the school. Now, try the time thing again," he said: "I am proud, very proud of you. But the next Sunday there was a cloud resting on the superintendent's face, for thirty of | the "good little boys had been arrested for stealing bricks, and the owners of all the brick yards in that part of the city bad waited an Mr. Wanamaker in a body and demanded that he should cancel his request for bricks, as his scholars were stealing every one they could lay their hands on. It was a great shock to Mr. Wanamaker, the request was cancelled, and the church built on the good old-fashioned plan. The story of "Wanamaker's Bricks" la "often told, and it is said the Postmaster-General enjoys the telling of it himself as much as anybody.

The inquiry into the loss of the Tangshan took place on Wednesday (23rd) in Swatow. The Court consisted of Consul Frater (President), with Capt. Bell (H.M.S. Plover) and Capt. Goddard (Namoď) as assessori, and Paymaster Gaines (Plover) as clak of the count. It wa found that the Tengekan was improperly Anchored too close to windward of the rocks, but a the error was committed in the desire to save life, all parties were exonerated from blame and certificates returned untouched.

Proclamation by the Roman Catholic Bishop F. T. Masot and the American Methodist Missionary, N. J. Plumb. In the beginning God and Jesus created Heaven and Earth and all things, and also the first man and first woman, in six days. On the 7th day they rested; therefore we must also rest from our works on the 7th day to worship, adore, and express gratitude to them. As human beings multiply there are many among them forged of worshipping God, they pay homage and the goodness of the Creator, and offer sacrifice to spirits, human beings, and things. These having been clearly discussed. in our religions books, it would be saporitutans. to reiterate them.
The opinions of the various churches differ in regard as to the interpretation of the profound passages in the Bible, When the Roman Catholics wish to interpret them, Councils of Bishops bave to assemble before the Pope, and when their suggestions are approved by him they are accepted a doctrines true and infallible. The Protestant, Methodist and other churches do not agree with, this believing that each one through the Inspiration of the Holy Spirit, is with his understanding and natural gift and
capable of interpreting the Bible.
New in order that the two churches may get along peaceably, the following regulations are established
1. As I given in the Treaty, people are free to adopt what religion they may choose.
2. The desire of Christianity is to offer thanks to the Lord for creating and preserving human beings and things. Those who worship Him, keep His commandments and believe in Jesus Christ, must have for their object the salvation of their souls and the attainment of everlasting happiness. The Lord says, do not depend upon worldly influence, nor look after gains nor destro babbling reputation.
Catholics may be free to do so and not be 3. Methodista disiring to become Roman
prevented; Roman Catholics desiring to become Methodists, may likewise be free to do so and not be prevented. The two churches must cultivate and educate their members with true doctrines, and shall not tempt each other with infuence or galos. Protestant Methodists should live in harmony.
Roman Catholics and
4 The Holy Virgin and the Salata are res- ministers of God having ascended to Heaven and pected by the Roman Catholics, as favorito enjoying everlasting happiness. The Roman fevery different from the reverence with which Catholles assert that the respect they pay them they worship God; so that to destroy their Holy Images is a great offence to the Roman Catholics. This should never be done.
New Testaments, is revered and esteemed by Hut the Will of God, which is the old and the the Protestant Methodists. To destroy the Bible, therefore, is an offence to the Methodists. This should also be warned against.
5. Other persons have nothing to do with property belonging to us and we have nothing to do with property belonging to other; therefore, members of the Roman Catholic church have nothing to do with the property of the members of the Methodist church, and vice versa.
Let all petitions laid in the yamen of the local authorities previous to the rath of January, be withdraws; subsequent actions shall not be guarded by this regulation
Therefore should any trouble arise after the 13th of January, the Consuls concerned in once request the Chinese officials to examine into the matter and severely punish the guilty Parties,
Fords having been spoken before-hand, no Indulgence will be shown.
