In the Christian Index appear* u report

which we glean the following facts: Of 1,000
churches connected with the associations rep
resented in the State convention, 000 have
adopted some systematic method of collecting
funds, while 400 have contributed something
t, the mission and Sunday school work. Only
live associations ignore missions and Sunday
schools. $33,000 wi re contributed for missions,
which Includes the State Sunday school work.
The result of missionary labor for the yeur

Questions of llu* Hour.
q'be two great questions which American
paternity is now considering one of which it
puls to its better half, and the other to its
groaning and despairing self are, Where does
the money go to? Where is the money to conic*
from?—Family expense in these days of ex
tiavagar.ee, of high prices and free handed ex
penditures, arc something startling to the mind
and sold of the money-supplyer, the work
horse that turns the mill which is expected to
turn out greenbacks in unlimited profusion.
Children and wives have united in the posi
tive conclusion that all fathers and husbands
me • made of money,’ and they act by unani
mous understanding accordingly; while the
sufferer only tears his hair and strains his brains
to find oat where he is to obtain the quantum
su [licit of modern fashion, and how is it that
his family manage to get rid of so much and
receive in exchange so little. Ilia wife is vul
garly attired, his sons are half educated his
daughters can hardly flirt creditably and can
not spell at all, and yet they spend their thous
and a year with facility.
Tub Church Must Preach Againut
Stealing. — *' Thon slmlt not steal seems to
be the troublesome part of the decalogue for a
large portion of our people; and the offenses
against this commandment seem to bo acquir
ing that semi-tolcrant reception which, in a
,nroo marked way, attends unchastity in the
] jU tin nations. This is a tendency, only a ten
dency to be resisted, resistance to which is one
of the important duties of the American pul
pit. The Indian is robbed; the cities are
robbed; the national government Is robbed.
Thera is a startling statement ascribed to otli
cial authority that it would cost $75,000 to pre
pare a list of official defalcations and shortages
within the last seven years. There is lonic
bing staggering in the statement. Me have
altogether too many well-behaved thieves,
thieves in honest clothes, and under Christian
professions. Our thought is that the public
education needs to be attended to. Morals
should be given prominence in the education of
the voting, prominence in the instruction given
by the pulpit and the press. We must also
learn bow to condemn effectively the dishonest
man, how to taboo him with the relentless se
verity which we visit upon offenders against
chastity. Upou the churches u-ust fall the
greater share of the task of resisting this ten
dency and preventing its passing ou into con
firmed habits. The iletkvdist.

A Watery Grave.
The Columbus Enquirer lias the following
account of the sad fate of two young boys of
Columbus;
Last Wednesday afternoon two little boys,
aged seven and eight years, strayed from their
homes in Girard. They played together and
seemed to be deeply attached. It was not very
late when they left. In the evening, liefori
dark they were seen on the Alabama side of
the river, a short distance above the upper city
bridge pulling drift wood from the stream.
They were not again beheld in life. They re
turned not home that night. Search was made
for them everywhere, but unavailing. Adver
tising served no purpose. Telegrams were for
warded in various directions. No answer came.
They bad not been seen. An agonized father
has been seen the last few days sitting on the
steps of the Western Union office waiting for
some message from the little cues.
The river has been very high since Wednes
day. when the boys were last seen. For two or
three days it has been falling. Yesterday as a
colored boy was going along the river he saw
the little boys side by side, half buried in mud.
They were dead, but locked band in band.
It is thought one must have gotten into the
water beyond bis depth, when the other, iu at
tempting to save him, was also drow ued. The
back water bad conveyed them to this gully
nd laid them down iu the soft sand. The bo
dies were only a few feet from where they
■were observed playing. They had been iu the
walcr five days. They were found at last-
One was the sou of Mr. J. C. Gartuian. a tin
ner; the other of Mrs. liritton, a widow lady,
both of whom live iu Girard.
The bodies were buried yesterday. The oc

- Thrilling Adventures.
[From the San Vranchxo Chronicle .J
On the steamer Mikado, which arrived in
this port on Saturday last, came Capt. Groves
and his wife and two children—one a babe —
who had a most remarkable escape from the
never-satisfied jaws of old ocean. All that hu
man beings could suffer, endure and live, fell to
tlieir unfortunate lot. The Captain and liis
wife are both comparafively young and look
sufficiently careworn to have borne the bur
dens of many more years than have yet rolled
over their heads. The lady is small, delicately
formed, and yet plucky or courageous and full
of animation when detailing the thrilling ad
ventures through which she and her husband
have passed. On April 29th they left Ant
werp for Callao in the ship Albert Gallatin.
They had a prosperous voyage for three
months. Rut August 2, off Cape Horn, 50 de
grees south and 79 degrees west, a heavy sea
struck the ship and carried away the rudder
at about 10 o’clock, p. m. Then for fourteen
days every effort was made to replace it; but
the weather continued severe and the rough
winds and waves tossed the rudderless ship to
and fro like a cork. And all this time, as the
heavy seas rolled over the vessel, every soul on
board was continually drenched, so that not
one of them wore a dry garment for two
weeks. At length, August 15, the overwashed
ship was found to life within two miles of the
lldefonso islands and drifting on the rocks.
Immediately all on board of the urmianagable
vessel were compelled hastily to abandon lier,
which they did in two life-boats about 2 a. m.
The Captain, his wife, two children and five
seamen took one boat and the remainder of the
crew the other, and the latter have not been
heard from since. After all were in the small
boat,
TUB CAPTAIN'S BRAVE I.ITTLK WIFE
Rushed un to the ship and snatched the chro
nometers and charts and brought them away
safely. The life-boat soon filled with water,
and was well-nigli swamped beside the ship.
The boat got away with 60 pounds of bread,
but this was saturated with suit water when
she filled. They brought away no fresh water,
and for two days were without a drop, while
driven about by the boisterous waves and seek
ing a landing place. August 17th she got
ashore on Hermit Island, but the six days they
remained there it thundered and ligthtninged
and snowed, and so cold that they were little
better off than on the ocean. The rocky isle
was barren, uninhabited and desolate. August
24tli, tliey left this island hoping to make
Stau-n Land some hundreds of miles distant
but near the Straits of Lemaire through which
the vessels often pass. They were out but a
single day, however, when the sea became too
heavy for them to proceed and drove them
back into Seourfield Bay on llerschcll Island-
But the sea was so rough they could not land,
and had to stay in the boat all night. Every
thing was wet, and they had to bail constantly
to keep the boat from going down with them.
That night was very cold and the canvas over
their heads froze stiff. They could not lie
down nor sleep, and had to sit in a stooping
position, which Mrs. Groves did with
HER BABE ON HER LAP,
While the snow on the awning pressed it down
so low and hard upon her head that her atti
tude was anything but comfortable. Next day
thev navigated around this island and landed
on Wollaston Island. While on these black,
barren and rocky islands they often found it
difficult to get a tire, and suffered intolerably
from the cold. Here they found a little wild
celery, which they mixed with their salt sea
soaked bread and Sv-ue preserved meats, which
they bad served in small quantities. The daily
allowance of each one was a couple of ounces
of this course fare, which was warmed alto
gether, and each one took a spoonful. There
were nine of them in all. They remained in
this distressing condition until the following
Tuesday, when they again started for Staten
Land with a light wind from the southwest.
At midnight they were becalmed an hour or
two, after which the wind freshened from the
northward Next day it blew a gale from the
northwest, and in tbe evening the tempest be
came so fierce they were obliged to make a
raft of their oars and lash the boat to them and
let her drag, while they kept constantly bail
ing. They again lost all tbe fresh water on
board, the boat tilled and destroyed all their
provisions, and Mrs. Groves looked up to her
husband and said sadly, “I guess we are gone
this time." That night they drifted back
about forty miles from tbe land they were ap
proaching. Next day was more moderate.
Some of tbe men
KELL ASLEEP ON THEIR OAKS.
And lost three of them, lhit in the heavy sens,
whenever a wave came, they were all obliged
to pull for life. After a week of such voyaging
the captain’s wife one day saw a ship. They
pulled for her but w ere not observed. The day
following, about 3 P. w., they saw an island
about twenty-five miles off. At 5p- m., they
sighted a vessel and made for her. She proved
to be the ship Syren, from Boston to Honlulu.
The shipwrecked wanderers had now been
atloat or ou frozen islands for eighteen days, in
all of which time they had never had a change
of garments, having lost everything when they
abandoned tbe ship. When they were taken
on board the men were almost blind. All
were nearly starved, and one sailor was out of
his mind. They had to be raised on board tbe
ship, and not one of them could stand or walk,
their knees being almost stiff and their strength
nearly exhausted. Y ct during all those eigLteen
davs of dreadful suffering Mrs. Groves bad
managed to nurse her babe and preserve both
its life and her own. (. apt. Newell, of the Sy
ren, was extremely kind to the sufferers, and
they swy w ords can ulitker portray his goodness
nor express their gratitude. When they
reached Honlulu some of the good people there*
cared for the sufferers, and the Mikado brought
the-iu to our city. The Captain and bis wife ap
pear to be very nice people, and it w ould seem
as if some of our worthy citizens could not be
stow a wiser charity than to aid these helpless
ones iu this their time of need.

Babbitt, the Soap Maker, Lose* $500,0000 Un
awares.
[New York Sun.]
On October 30th, 1875, ex-detective Golden
called on Mr. Benjamin T. Babbitt, the soap
manufacturer, at 69 Washington street, and in
formed him that he had been robbed by one of
his employees of over $500,000. Mr. Babbitt
was incredulous, but consented to an investiga
tion. Golden has since been working in the
case, and yesterday lie made an arrest. In the
Spring of 1868 Cli tries R. Beckwith became a
bookkeeper for Mr. Babbitt. Beckwith had
been a cashier for an insurance company in
Utica, and had letters of recommendation. In
appearance he is a remarkable man- His height
is scarcely five feet, but he has a large, hand
some head. lie is well educated. Soon he had
not only won the respect and confidence of Mr.
Babbitt, but waa treated more as a friend than
subordinate. In 1873 Mr. Babbitt was informed
of dishonest practices by his trusted clerk, and
he at first refused to credit the stories. Subse
quent events proved the truth of the informa
tion. Mr. Babbitt called Beckwith to his pri
vate office, told him of the discover and dis
charged him. No effort was made to trace the
losses- Eighteen months after Beckwith’s dis
charge Mr- Babbitt’s business had apparently
increased over $7,000 a year. On November
3, 1875, Mr. Babbitt, acting under the instruc
tions of Mr. Wm. A. Beach, had an examina
tion of his books made by an expert account
ant. Defalcations by Beckwith were discover
ed amounting to $500,000.
Beckwith’s duties had been those of a cash
ier. Mr Babbitt daily signed a large number
of blank checks, leaving the cashier to fill them
up as required. Beckwith suggested a stamp,
engraved with the Dame of the firm, to use in
lieu of the customary endorsement. Obtaining
that implement, he began a successful method
of swindling. Having entire charge of the
books, he began altering the accounts. In
some instances he changed the bills from $2-
000 to $25,000. All customers who had made
purchases went to him to pay. lie, in fact,
had the entire business under his control. The
following is a sample of his work: On April
81, 1871, Mr. Edward Hill purchased soap to
the amount of $5,724. Beckwith changed the
entry on the books so as to figure $5,274, pock
eting the difference.
So startling was Detective Golden’s discov
ery that Mr. Babbitt requested Superintendent
Walling to allow that officer liis own way. At
a private meeting of the counsel, police and
Mr. Babbitt, it was deemed necessary to watch
Beckwith closely. Golden traced him as an
employee of the Manhattan Insurance Compa
ny, but learned that he had obtained one
month’s leave of absence, ostensibly to visit
his sick mother in Cincinnati. Golden made
up his mind at once that some employee of
Mr. Babbitt had forewarned Beckwith, and
that lie was hiding somewhere in this city,
lie ascertained that Beckwitu lived unostenta
tiously in a French fiat house. A list of those
houses was procured. Ten days ago Golden
learned that a man like Beckwith was residing
at 998 Sixth avenue. He took a room in a
house opposite, and night and day watched the
house, provided with a warrant.
At one o’clock yesterday a window was
raised in Beckwith’s apartments. His wife
looked up and down the avenue. Two min
utes later Beckwith, who had been concealed
for thirty days, opened the door. Owing to a
stiffness of his knee joint, lie is unable to walk
fast. Golden followed him to the gates of
Central Park, and tapped on the shoulder.
“How do you do, Mr. Beckwith,” he said.
“ Very well, sir,” replied Beckwith. “I have
a warrant for your arrest for defrauding.”
“Stop, stop ! for God’s sake.” Beckwith’s face
grew very pale, and lie begged to be allowed
to go home and notify his wife, 'fliis Golden
refused. lie was taken to the Mercer street
police station.

“Success is never achieved without merit.

the sales of which increase regularly and rapid
