The DEAD SEA AND JoRpAN.-The
Rev. DR.. Odenheimer, in letter form
Jericho, addressed TO the Banner Of the
Cross, makes this beautiful allusion
"Thc contrast between the natural
appearance OF the Dead Sea and the
Jordan WIS strongly symboIical Of that
bet cen their moral aspects, as looked
at by the thoughtful Christian. Behind
us was the Dead Sea perfectly envel-
opcd in clouds, and hidden from our
view by the mist and rain; before us
was the Jordan and place of Christ's
baptism, with the bow ofpromise resting
above it. The one spot marks the wrath
Of God against sin; the other declares
the Infinite mercy OF God towards sim
ners. The bitter wave that rolls above
the doomed cities Of the plain, may well
be covered with clouds and darkness !;
the refreshing stream that Jesus has,
(as our baptsmal service says eancti
fled, and in, and by it, "water to the
mystical washing away Of SIM" is most
ftungy spanned by the sign Of love,
bright and beautiful as Gods love to
man is certain and uniailing."

PThe New York Tribune copies
the closing paragraph Of one of our
articles in regard to the Maine Law, in
which we stated that our usual summer
visitors could obtain us much liquor as
they desired, in this town, the coming

known. The Tribune then adds
We have thus complied with the
Ne,cs' request aud we now throw in
little good advice extra namely,
Better obey the Law quietly for if you
don't thus, you will be made to.
Now Horace, we feel very grateful
for your advice, and as evidence of our
gratitude, we shall give you little bet
ter advice. Come TO Newport this sum-

Congress has hitherto with great unani-

from each. any vacancies occurring are
filed by appointment Of the President Of

ton Of the member of Congress from the
district in which the vacancy occurs. A
small number OF appointments are il 10

the naval service and TO our national
character, the general interest in the
navy created thereby, and the unanim -
