PELTssIER.-A letter from Paris says at
is fact, OF the authenticity of which there is
no doubt, that at the moment when the order
was given by Marshal Pelssier to a:tock the
Malakoff Chat attack which decided the fall
of Sebastopol,) he had already had in his
pocket, for twelve hours, an order from Paris
not to make the attack. This order was the
precursor of his recall, which was then on the
way, and which was condemnation of his
previous i'll success against the Malakofi, or
of his slow progress, which had produced dis
enlargement here. The Marshal foresaw the
blow which threatened him. Abso!ved by
victory, he has changed tho degradation which
awaited him, into promotion to the dignity of
Marshal.

ing the day was unfavorable, in consequence
of DEFENDERS bowling winds, and the late
heavy rains, there was a goodly number in
attendance. The respectful department and
correct ready answers of each class examined,
together with the manifest interest of the en-

was truly "a feast Of reason flow Of soul"

private hideousness the ease might be differ

eB- A young German girl was tried last
week at Reading, Pa, for the murder of her
infant. She was acquitted. The common
wealth undertook TO establish the fnct that
the child had been born alive by evidence
o. IN examination Of the lungs by the hy-
drostatic test by physicians who gave it as
their opinion the child had lived, because the
lungs floated in water, in whole and in parts.
The doctors had neglected to regulate strict.
ly the temperature of the water in which the
lungs had been tested. This was taken ad-
vantage of by the counsel for the defence,
Mr. Richard, who by n very ingenious and
delicate experiment demonstrated to the ju-
ry that there was no reliance to be placed
on the hydrostatic test, unless the tempera-
lure of the water had been carefully ascer-
tanned. He put small vial of shot, just
heavy enough to float in water of medium
temperature, in warm water, and it sunk
On putting it into cold water the vial floated
Ample authorities were quoted, old and new
English and German, TO show that no reli-
ance should be placed on the hydrostatic,
test The counsel declared his intention to
explode it in English and German-by hot
and cold water-that ii should not put anoth-
or innocent persons life in peril.

eEg- The Examiner, Baptist paper pub
!ished In New York, has a very sensible arti-
Gle upon the appointment of chaplains in
Congress. We copy:
at is needless to picture the scene yearly
recurring, of what has become an actual
scramble for the Office as chaplain. Every
session of Congress some score of candidates,
away from their posts are eager in attendance:
some dozen or more of names of different
denominations are proposed MS candidates; all
but two of them are, of course, to be disap-
pointed of an election by worldly men to
office of Christian minister. The successful
candidate is not usually the man whom his
own denomination even, not to say our Chris
tian community, generally, would wish to see
at such post; often he is the man who has
written many letters before hand soliciting
votes, who meets his friends MS they alight
at the railroad stations, who follows them to
their hotels, and who in the bar room, even,
is heard talking loudly of his devotion to the
party.' 1t is time that these scenes, which
make worthy men blush, should be banshed
from among us; and that our Christian com
munity should be spared the painful NORTH
cation to which every year they are subjected
at the meeting Of Congress. ~
Really, the parsons are no better than the
politicians.
