Senator Eugene Hale of Maine Id recently with amused eharn of a passage at arms he had ith Mr. Wu, the Chinese minisr. The treatmeutof the mission ies in the far east was under scussion, and the senator had otted out a rumber of instances maltreatment,and even worse, at the missionaries had met ith at the hands of their eastn brethren. The senator then )inted out to the minister that is was hardly the way in which e missionary should be roceiv1, and that a liberty of faith | ould be accorded their subjects r eastern rulers. All through is homily the Chinese minister id grinned sympathetically, but t ei fl n /I u 'iiu ucunivci V. "Liberty of religious thought, i?" Wu inquired tentatively, hen his chance came. "You not ways give liberty of religious ought in thir country ; you metimes persecute the missiony in these great United States, think?'' To this, needless to say, e junior senator from the E*ine ee state interposed a vigorous mial. "No, you never do such things ?ro, nevi r ! You never persecute e poor missionary ! You are too gh-mindod. You have too much eedom of thought for that!" nd hero Wu's derisive smile ew diabolical. "How about the ivantine affair?" "Lavantine affair?" was the izzled inquiry. "Yes, Levantine affair; affair Levant. What did you do ere ?" And then the senator suddenly membered the fate of a Moron missionary at Levant, Me. le keen Celestial eye of the linese minister saw the look of iderstanding in Senator Hale's e. and he drove the nail home. "What did you do with that ormon missionary at Levant, ?
