WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? t

The Secular Newspaper PreSs-Rev. DR.. Arm
strong, Secretary of the American Board nf Mis-
sions, at the recent meeting III lis behalf AT the
Tabernacle, remarked that the receipts, thus far,
for the current fiscal year, had exceeded those Of
the last for the same months 10000 dollars. SO
that, should they continue TO advance for the re-
nlNining months in the same ratio, they would a.
mount to something like go 900 dollars. He at
lribuied this increase, in great measure TO the
greatly increased amount of information which
had been spread throughout the land by the secu-
lar newspaper press.
The above is taken from the N. Y. weekly Tri-
bune. The reading of it has given rise to solemn
reflections. Christian Abolitoniss having 10
some extent, Withdrawn their contributions from
the A. B. c. Foreign Missions, OIL account Of
their connection with slavery, have looked with
some interest to the influence Of this step upon
the Society. Above, we see remarkable in
crease IN lis receipts. That increase is ascrbed,
by the Society's secretary, to the influence of the
&C secular press" Doubtless many have noticed
the great increase of religious Information IN the
political press within TWO or three years past,
without having asked "What does it meant" In
many leading political papers, weekly reports OF
sermons, aiso have been givet, often accninpnnl-
ed with glowing enconuns, But has II been no
iicea that The espousng of the secular press ofthe

While the bill was under consideration to inn
pose duties on Brazilian slave grown sugar, and
admit sugar from the United States free, Mr..
Macauley, in'opposing it, regretted the necessity
which The subject imposed upon him, of discussing
there the institutions Of other nations, but he must
do it faithfully, though reluctantly. The pretence
was that sugar in the United States was not pro-
duced by the suye trade.

trade in no respect less oduus or dcmorazlng-

with which you are extending our relations, and to
which he is sent to be killed.
The extent Of This traffic we may learn from the
census of the United States of 1880, and that of
1910. North Carolina and Virginia are two of the
chief breeding States, During the ten years from
1880 to 1910, the number of slaves in North Caro-
lima has been, us nearly as possible, stationary
In Virginia during the same period the number
positively decreased, although both in North Caro-
lima and Virginia propagation was going on to an
enormous extent. In both these States, during the
time have mentioned, hundreds of thousands OF
negro slaves were born: the births exceeded bY
hundreds of thousands the deaths, What, then,
became of these people Look at the census of

Sabbath morning. My friend, Mr. r. called
early this morning, to inform me that he had APP
piled TO the authorities and obtained permission
for me to attend church to-day in the first col
ored Baptist, Church-the largest congregation
of colored people in the city. The law requires
that there shall be NJ meeting of the colored
people, unless there are five white persons pres
eht, who are appointed for that purpose. The
congregation was large, perhaps twelve hundred
in the house, and five more about the windows
and DOORS who could not gain access. The
congregation was very orderly, and seemed re-
markably happy felt degree of disappoint

scented in the pulpit and looking over the vast
congregation, so apparently happy, felt a sensa-

poor bondmen could have some privileges, but
this sensation was Of short duration, as | recog-
nized one who appeared to be one of the most
deHout worshippers, man whom l had but a
day or two before seen fastened to the whipping
post, and forty and one lashes laid on the bare
buck, for all offence not worth naming! And
vet he seemed to be one of the most devout and
happy-while knew that his back must have
been at that time very sore. Never until this
morning was aware that SO large proportion
of the slave population are white-many as
white as most white persons SO white were
they that my friend Mr. Cough, the temperance
lecturer who was with me in the pulpit, de-
clared they must be white--and yet they are
slaves for life, and their posterity after them 7

SiNGULAR.--A dead blue bird was found on
Monday week, clinging with its feet to one ofthe
wires of Morse's Elcctro-Magnetic Telegraph, a
few miles this side of Washington city. The
body ofthe bird was examined, and no shot wound
of any kind was discovered sufficient to produce
death, which has lead to the belief that the
poor thing was killed while perched upon the wire
sometime during the operation of the Telegraph
as were, by shock of electricity. --BALrlMoRF
