In with Their oriental j Surrounding*. President Seth Low of Columbia | college and his brother, Abbott Au gustus Low, of this city and Brook lyn, says the New York Herald, have just built and presented to the mission station of the Protestant Episcopal church in Wuchang, China, a hospital for the use of the mission and the people of the town. It was erected to perpetuate the memory of their father, the late Abiel Augustus Low, who was for many years one of the leading merchants in Canton. The new building is called St. Peter's hospital. Although the building has been in course of con struction for many months, and it was occasionally alluded to in the correspondence of missionaries in China with the board of missions in this city, no member of the board knew the identify of those who fur nished the money for its erection un til a short time ago, when Bishop Graves, of Shanghai, disclosed the names of the donors. Wuchang is situated in the prov ince of Hupeh, on the Yang-tsei river, and is six hundred miles from Shanghai. It has a population of 250,000, and is surrounded by a wall thirty feet high and nine miles in circumference. The new St. Peter'-ihospital, with its group of separate buildings, has been so planned as to harmonize with its oriental environment. The buildings were made but a single story in height in deference to the sentiment of the Chinese, who are opposed to buildings with stairways. The style of architecture is the com posite, the roofs having the tent like curves of the better class of Chinese houses. On account of the intense heat of the months of sum mer each building is surrounded by a broad veranda. The institution will furnish ac commodations for twenty-four per manent patients. The administra tion building and operating and re ception rooms have been supplied with the most modern furnishings and appliances for the welfare of the inmates and the comfort of the staff of physicians and attendants. Part of the furnishings and a fine micro scope are gifts from St. George's church, this city, of which Mr. Low is an active member. Medical work in all the Chinese malign iiitlui iu os of^evil' spirits^ Especially is this the case when surgical operations are necesssry. Despite these obstacles, however, cpnsiderable medipal work was done during the last year at Wuchang mission. At the dispensary there was an attendance of 11,1549. while 195 per sons were admitted as in-patients; 330 minor operations and 119 seri ous ones were performed; 168 pa tients were attended at home, the majority being for opium poisioning.

At Georgetown lie is used in notify ing persons wanted at the telephone, i there being no exchange there. He knows the names atul residences of people most often called, aud carries to them, without error, a card saying: "Wanted at telephone.' The editor of the Georgetown News has sent papers by him to friends about the town without mistake. He is a water spaniel, brown and bow-legged, but he is bright. Florence Blythe's Million?. Florence Blyt.he-Hinckley has vir tually come into possession of the large estate which contestants in the California courts so resolutely tried to wrest from her. Generally speaking, it is worth from $4,000,000 to $5,000,000. It consists of a San Francisco bldbk, 80,000 acres of land in San Diego county, 44,000 acres of land in Mexico, adjoining California, and an interest in 1,800,000 acres of land in Mexico. Just what the Blytheestate interest in these 1,800, 000 acres is will have to be decided by the Mexican courts. A suit has been brought to determine the size of the Blythe interests in the large tract of land. There is also $125,000 in.cash on hand belonging to the estate. This will go princi pally to pay the cxpensesof adminfe trillion of the estate.

The ex planation of it is quite a problem to astronomera, but it is thought to be a proof of the existence of a resist ing medium pervading space, the friction of which retards light bodies which move through it. The ques tions which depends upon this as sumption are some of them quite in teresting, for It is evident-that If this 'diminution should continue sufficiently long, and the course of the comet be not too much disturbed by the attraction of the planets, the comet will eventually fall into the sun. The'domelhas been of quite a lit tle service to astronomers In the consideration of the mass of attrac tive force of the planet Mercury. This planet, having no satellite knowu to us, has not been accurate ly weighed, or at least not as com pared with the other planets of our system. In 1838, however, this comet approached sufficiently near to the planet to be affected by its attraction, and from the facts here observed astronomers have been pble to define their knowledge of the Pass of Mercury.
