AN INTERESTING DISCOVERY.

We see it stated, upon what may be
considered reliable authority, that thirty
thousand Christians have recently been
found upon an island north of Ceelbes.-
Ii has been rumored for time, that there
was there a Christian people, forgotten
and forsaken, which, however, yet pos
sessed three Bibles, and continued stead
fast in the faith. When missionaries
frs, landed on the island, they met with
a school teacher and his pupils, who re.
Peated in the Malayan tongue, GAS the
hart panteth after the water-brooks so
Panieth my soul after Thee, o, Lord
No Bibles were found, but the most
precious promises OF the Bible written
upon the bark of trees. They knew the
Apostles Greed, aud the Heidelberg Cat
echism, and had Christian customs.-
Twenty churches and schools yet exist
ed. Through The instfumenIailty of pas
tor Heldring, founder of the Magdalen
Asylum at Sienbeck, and chief patron
of the Inner Missions in Holland, four
missionaries. who had been educated un-
der the venerable Gossner, was sent out,
and 1900 persons baPiissd.
This is certainly a most Interesting
discovery, The island on which the
Christians were found belongs to the East
Indian Archipelago. The Dutch have
for years had political rule in this region
This may account for the original in
PRODUCTION of Christianity among this peo-
pie, and for the fact that the Heidelberg
was sill found in their possess
ion. But still the particular time and
10 which this introduction |
took place may we'll challenge special
attention, and elicit investigate ion from
those who have the leisure and facilities
for prosecuting German Reformed

brought it from the Greek convent in St.
Catherine, at the foot of Mount Sinsi.
Mr.. Cass befriended this monk, who was
in trouble, and he, in return, presented
him with the volume we have described.
According to his story, it is the work Of
one of the ancient monk scrIbes in the
convent above named. When il became
known that Mr.. Cass was parting with
it. and that il was going out of the coun-
try, the round sum Of $4,000 was offered
him by the Monks of the city of Rome.

BRADY'S LEAP.
BY EMERSON BENNETT.

During the early settlements in the
western part of Pennsylvania aud the
northwestern portion of Virginia, the
hardy adventures into those then wilder
ness solitudes al times suffered severely
from the incursions Of the Indians. As
early as 1880, quite large body of
warriors, from the vicinity of the Cuya-
hoga Falls, came suddenly down upon
the unprotected frontier, and, before any
check could be put 10 their rayages, sue
ceeded in numbering and Pluudering
quite number of the whites. and effect
ing their retreat in safety.
At this time there was a we'll known
Indian hunter in that vicinity, one Cap
tain Samuel Brady, whose many daring
exploits and hair-breadtb escapes had rem
dered him as famous throughout that re.
gion as his contemporary, the celebrated
Daniel Boone. was in Kentucky; and
having under his leadership a goodly
number of as brave and daring spirits as
himself. be al once called them together,
selected certain number for the e1ps-
dilion, and set out on the trail of the sava.
ges, hoping to overtake them and infiict
a severe chsstisement before they should
reach their yillsges.
In this respect, however the captaiu
and his frien'ls were disappointed, for the
Indians had gained start which enabled
them TO reach their towns in advance of
their pursuers; but as they belonged to
different tribes, il was discovered that
thsy separated on the bank of the Cuya-
hoga, one part crossing it and going TO
the northward, and the other turning off
to the westward, as ii was supposed to the
Fails, where it was known there was
village.
This division Of the Indians rendered
il necessary for The whites. if they would
follow each trail, to divide their force
also, which would weaken it materially.
and render their further pursuit still more
hazardous; and in view of this new dan. !
ger, Captain Brady stated the whole mat
ter fairly TO his companions, and inquired
of them what they were disposed to do
under the circumstances.

How To MAKE TOMATO FIGs.-Pour
boiling water over the tomatoes in order
10 remove the skins; then weigh them
and place them in stone jar, with as
much sugar as you have tomatoes, and
lei them stand two days; then pour of
the syrup, and boil and skim it until no
scum rises. Then pour it over the toma.
toes, and let them stand two days, as be-
fore, then boil and skim again. After
the third Time they are fit to dry, if The
weather is good; if not, let them stand
in the syrup until drying weather. Then
place on large earthern plates or dishes,
and put them in the sun TO dry, which
will take about week, after which pack
them down in small wooden boxes, with
fine white sugar between every layer
Tomatoes prepared in this manner will
keep for years.

SINGULAR THEORY.

Mr.. Nickles, in a letter from Paris 10
the Anerican journal Of Science and Ars,
communicates the following interesting
discovery:
NJ. Cagniard Latour. one Of the prin-
cipal French Accousticians, has satisfied
himself that he hears the note "lo," Of
the musical scale. sounding within his
head when he agitates it from side to side.
Mr.. Jabard has confirmed this observation
in himself, and asserts that any one can
verify it, if he will disembsrass his neck
of the crayat and collar, and place him
self apart from all noise. NJ. Jabard ssys
that this natural ''ia' is caused by the
contact of The malleus against the incus
Of the ear; contact easily made By rapid
movement Of the head. He goes still
further, and asserts that those who. ON
shaking the head, hear two ''ias" in per-
feet union, are born musicians; they have
the voice and ear perfectly correct. But
those who hear the ola" only in one ear,
have an imperfect appreciation of sounds:
while those who perceive two diferens
sounds, ''la" and another note, not only
do not love music, but detest and avoid
it; and he proposes by this method to
discover who may become musieisns-
The point whether the note produced bv
this quick motion of the head is the same
In all persons is yet under discussion
This question viii be difficult one to
solve, as the ''la' of the opera of Paris
differs from that of lhe theatre of S.ras-
burg, Lille Vienna, and London, and il
becoming more and mere elevated, 90
that in twenty years it viii correspond to
many more vibrations than now, and be,
therefore still more acute.

County, Connecticut? VIM. V. Peck,
the Republican candidate for Supreme
Judge, and Christopher P. Wolcott, the
candidate for Attorney General, are both
natives of Litch6eld county. Litcbfeld
county has been the birthplace Of thir-
teen U. S. Senators and twenty two mem
bers of Congress, twenty -four Supreme
Judges. ten Presidents and eight Pro
fessors of Colleges. In 1881, the Vice
President and one eighth of the U. S.
Senators were natives of or were educa-
ted in Litchfeld county. In 1850, one.
seventh of the whole number of the q.

A WISE DESPoTIsM.

The movement in Russia for tho emancipation
OF the Serfs is receiving the cordial approval OF
the nobility and land owners throughout the Enl'
pire. 1t is not only hailed as a movement involv'
ing the material prosperity and glory OF the Ma.
ton, but ~ Il sacrifice due to the rights OF man"
This vital Republican doctrine was thus enunciated
10 q speech bv Gen. Monravieff, who was deputed
10 conciliate one of the PROVINCES to the measure:
Do not separate from your material calculations
she respect due to tho rights of man; render to
man that which belongs to man, and you Will JUS
THY the confidence of the sovereign ct the nation.
I may say more--you will deserve the admiration
of the whole world, whose eyes are fixed upon
you at this moment. Your work will win for you
the blessings OF the OmnipOtent and those oil col
~lective humanity, whilst history will rank you
among the promoters Of justice. among those who
love their neighbors. and Will name you as the
founders of your country's prosperity.
Sentiments like these reach the height of sublim-
ity when uttered by such u man for such purpose.
"Render to man THAI which belongs tn man., EN-
bodies the most exalted idea Of human freedom
In what humiliating contrast does 1t place the ut'
terances of some OF our own pro-slavery. apollo
gistt What American citizen does not blush at
the thought that while the Emperor and Mobiles OF
Russia are thus seeking TO win the blessings OF
Omnipo,ence" hy giving personal freedom to every
human being within the Empire, the President OF
the United States and HIS councillors are seeking
TO extend the area Of human bondage in this Re.
public.
Although this noble movement is progressing
in an Empire remote from US, and under a govern
ment the very opposite of our own, its influence
will be ielt even here. 1t is impossible that such
an example can be lost upon us. 1t is not an indi-
vidual. nor IL paitry Dukedom, which speaks. The
voice does not come to US from a decrepid Princi-
patty nor from a decayed Kingdom. 1t is not
the death bed utterance Of ola age or imbecelity.
1t is the appeal Of the Monarch OF a.vigorous. vast
and mighty Empire, Snch an appeal should be re.
garded' and it will be. In will aid in moulding
that public opinion which is destined, sooner OF
later, to make this q Republic where neither Mas
ter nor Slave shall BE kown.

THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES SOUTHERN
OPINION.

The Louisville Democrat has wisely opposed
,he LecumptOn mischief from the start. The fol-
lowing extract from that paper, of yesterday,
yery Justly sums up sJme of The consequences
which will follow the CONSERVATION of this iniquity.
and perhaps rightly apprehends the real motive
Of its Southern supporters, as desiring a Pretezt
for DisuniOn.
Let this Lecompton dodge succeed, and then
something serious may turn up. The Democratic
party in the free States will be broken down.
No man in the North who supported the measure
will be elected to Congress. Few Congressional
districts in that region are in favor OF that issue.
W. don't believe there is one. The next Congress
will be Black Republican. The Senate, in a few
years, will be of the same political party, and
The next President will be elected by a sectional
vote. Then. it will not be long before the South
will have cause to call conventions in the States.
Whenever q sectional party obtains complete
power, the worst may be apprehended and we
do not sec if the South succeed in this ~Lec"mpton
movement, what other result she anticipates.
Surely. no one will pretend that a single free
State could be carried now upon such an Issue.
Some members of Congress from that region sup
port it; but they represent very few at home
and it is idle to hope that the party upbolding
this business will increase its strength hereafter.
Nor will the subject he allowed to pass away.
The deed is one of those en0rn,ities shat will re-
turn to plague its authors, until they hare paid the
penalty"
