At meeting of the Baptist Society
of Floyd, Floyd county, Iowa, held
Saturday, May 2sth, 1859, the follow
ing preamble and resolutions were
unanimously passed:
Wiereas, Our brother J. II. Parmelee who
has been Pastor since the organization of the
Church and under whose labors and self.sac-
rifice the Church has been organized and
greatly prospered both in numbers and influ-
nee, now feels it his duty to leave this for
some other field of labor, therefore.
Re.otred, That the gentlemanly and Chris
tian department of our Brother during his pas.
torate amongst us, together with his judicious
efforts for the enlargement of Zion, commend
him to the confidence and gratitude of the
Church and community.
Resoited, That from thorough knowledge
of the ripe scholarship of Br. Parmelee and his
devoted and intelligent lady, we can with the
greatest confidence recommend them to any
people amongst whom their lot may be cast
Resolred, That in taking the parting hand of
our esteemed Pastor and his kind and Chris
tian Lady, Society looses an influential MEM
Der, the Church q devoted minister and sound
theologan, and Truth q consistent and fear
less advocate
Rssotred, That while VIC look npon the past
with the most pleasing recollections. we look
upon parting with brother and sister Parmelee
with the deepest regret and that we will try
to seek coincidence in the sweet reflection that
all things work together for good to them that
love God, and that what is our loss may be
gain to Others.
Resolced, That the Clerk be requested to
present copy of these resolutions to broth.
cr Parmelcc. and also to send a copy of
the same to the Christian Times and St
Charles City Intelligencer for publication.
Per order of the Baptist Church at Floyd

Can Prussia REMAIN NEUTRAL let
tcrs from Ex-Governor Wright, our
minister to Prussia, express the deci-
dcd opinion, after a careful survey of
affairs, that the war will extend be-
yond Italy and involve the whole of
Europe, that while Prussia is deter
mined to remain neutral and preserve
the contract entered into by the con-
federation, the smaller German powers
are aversc to it, and manifest a strong
desire to take part in the contest now
going on. Whether Prussia will be
able to maintain her position of neu-
trality, and control the action of the
German States, is exceedingly doubt
rul. The present aspect of affairs in
Europe, he thinks, is perilous indeed.
1t is believed by many, notwithstand-
ing the authoritative contradiction,
that there is secret treaty or under
standing between France and Russia,
and that should the war continue it
will shortly develop itself.

USEFUL INFoRMArIoN.-The washer
women of Holland and Belgium, 50
proverbially clean, and who get up
their linen so beautifully white, use
refined borax as washing powder
instead of soda, in the proportion Of a
large handful of borax powder to
about ten gallons of boiling water,
They save in soap nearly one.half
All the large washing establishments
adopt the same mode. For laces,
cambric, etc, an extra quantity Of the
powder is used, and for crinolincs ire
quired to be made very stiff strong
solution is necessary. Borax being a
neutral salt does not in the slightest
degree injurc the texture of the linen !;
its effect is to soften the hardest wa
ter, and therefore it should be kept
on every toilet table. To the taste it
is rather sweet is used for cleaning
the hair, is an excellent dentritice, and
in hot countries is used with tartaric
acid and bi-carbonatc of soda as a
cooling beverage. Good tea cannot
be made from hard water all water
can be made soft by adding a tea
spoonful of borax powder to an ordi-
nary sized kettle of water, in which
it should boil. The saving in the
quantity of tea used will be at least
one fifth. To give the black the flavor
of the green tea, add single leaf
from the black currant tree Scientific
African.

JUDICIAL DIGNIrY.-T The following
conversation is said to have passed
between venerable old lady and a
certain presiding judge of this State.
The judge was supported on the right
hand and on the left by his humble
associates, and the old lady was cal
led to give evidence
President Judge" Take off your
bonnet, madam"
Lady, would rather not, sir"
Judge-"l desire you to take of
your bonnet

lie assemblies the women should cover

course | will not take off my bonnet"
Judge" Why, you are pretty

The immense stock of sugar held
over in the market of New York, is
estimated at 10000 hogsheads. The
stock in st. Louis, outside of the re-
finery, is about l0,50O hogsheads,
4,0s3 in public warehouses, and the
balance in stores. Reported amount
remaining in Louisiana, $4,000 hogs
heads. Receipts for the last week are
reported very light in the St. Louis
market, yet the demand was so slack
that sales could not be affected to any
extent. 81 q 6i was the ruling price
for good, common and prime. We
cannot well see how the article of ST.
gar can advance, as the market is
completely gluttcd.

WTH AN O.-Some years ago there
lived in New York a lawyer of some
distinction, named Ogden, who, hav-
ing an Irish servant, sent him one
morning to the Post Office to inquire
whether there were any letters for
Him. Says Pat to the clerk, " Is there
any letters here for Misther Hogden ~
The clerk looked over the rs, and, find
ing none, sent the servant away. This
was repeated two or three mornings
in succession, till his master, sur.
priscd, as he was daily in the custom
of receiving considerable number
Of letters, went himself to the Post
Ollicc, where he found large bundle

the interval. On returning home he

Misther Hogden ?" The clerk, look

Sure, now," said Pat, "it's not Mis-.
ther Hogden with a hatch, but Mr..
Hogden with Ho ;" This explained
the matter, and Pat got the letters,
and, highly delighted, took them home
to his master.

THE ZOUAVES.

Many people suppose that Zouaves,
so often mentioned in connection with
the Italian war, as well as with the
late campaign in the Crimea, are a
corps of Arabs. They are only French
men in Arab uniform, and are made
up of men selected from the old sol
diers of the regular army for their
fine form, great strength and tried
courage. a letter from Italy says of
them
"The dress of the Zouavc is of the
Arab pattern the cap is loose fig,
or skull cap, of scarlet felt, with a
tassel turban is worn over this in
full dress a cloth vest and loose
jacket, which leave the neck unincum-
bercd by collar, stock or cravat, cover
the upper portion of his body, and al
low free movement of the arms; the
scarlet pants are of the loose oriental
pattern, and are tucked under gartcrs
like those of the foot rifles Of the
guard the overcoat is loose cloak,
with hood ; the Chasscurs wear a
similar one. The men say that this
dress is the most convenient possible,
and prefer it to any other. The Zou-
aves have certainly proved that they
are what their appearance would indi-
cate, the most reckless, selEreliant,
and complete infantry that Europe
can produce. With his graceful dress,
soldierly bearing, and vigilant atti-
tude, the Zouave at an outpost is the
beau ideal of soldier. They neglect
no opportunity of adding to their per,
sonal comforts if there is stream
in the vicinity, the party marching on
picket is sure to be amply supplied
with fish rods, &c, il anything is to
be had, the ZUuaves are quite certain
to obtain it. Their movements are
the most light and graceful have
ever seen the stride is long, bat the
foot seems scarcely to touch the
ground, and the march is apparently
made without effort or fatigue.

THE AGE OF TwENTY-SEvEN.-Cicero's
first speech in defense Of Roscius was
made at the age of twenty-seven. 1t
was at the same age that Demosthe-
mes distinguished himself at the Atha-
neum. Dante published Vita Nuova
when just twenty-seven. Dryden first
gave testimony to his poetical genius
at the age of twenty-seyen. Bacon
began to form his new system of phi
loSophy into some form when about
twenty-seven. Burns issued his first
publication in his twenty-seventh
year Washington was but twenty
seven when he covered the retreat of
the British troops at Braddock's de-
feat, and was appointed to the COM
mand in chief of the Virginia forces.
John Quincy Adams was appointed
by Washington, in lT95, Minister
resident to the United Netherlands,
thus commencing his public life ut the
age Of twenty-seven. Napoleon, we
believe, was only twenty-seven when
he led his army into Egypt.

GARIBALDI,

One of the most prominent actors
in the Italian war is the celebrated
Garibaldi, whose history may be much
less familiar to our readers than his
name lie is now engaged, and very
successfully too, in penetrating LON
hardy with his troops, where it is sup
posed his great popularity among the
Austro Italians will throw them all
under his influence and command. 1t
is intimatcd that should the Austrians
be driven from the country Garibaldi
may lead the Italians to complete
revolution and the establishment of a
republic, which would be a little more
than the King of Sardinia and the
Emperor Of France have bargaincd
for. We find an excellent sketch Of
Garibaldi in the n. Y Evening Post,
and transfer it to our columns.
Giuseppe Garibaldi is native of
Nice, andno about forty-seven years
of age His father was mariner,
and gave his boy Giuseppe an educa-
ton that peculiarly fitted the lad for
a maritime life. Young Garibaldi
made several voyages to various parts
of Italy, the Levant and the Black
Sea. lie was bold sailor and
warm-hearted, generous man.
Well read in Italian history, he
could not help contrasting her former
glorious condition with that which
followed the European treaties of 1915,
and at Rome, amid the monuments of
ancient splendor, he conceived the
hope of the resurrection Of Italian
liberty. When told that a society of
young Italians already existed who
had devoted their lives to the glorious
work, he eagerly enrolled himself
among their number, and when the
uprising of 1884 took place, he be-
came a prominent actor in the event.
full scenes.
The movement proving failure,
Garibaldi with others was condemned
to death. He succeeded, however, in
escaping in disguise to Genoa, and
thence to the coast of France, where,
to place himself beyond the risk of re-
capture, he took passage in friendly
vessel for Brazil His original intcn-
tion was then to engage in trade, but
finding on his arrival that the patriots
of La Plata were in arms, he engaged
in their service as q naval officer, and
was soon mingled in their public af.
fairs. His deeds of valor and the
dangerous encounters which he had
with the enemy, secured him the last
ing gratitude of his companions in
arms. No man who ever fought on
the coast is said to have performed
more wonders of naval skill and cour
age than this Italian volunteer
1t was while in South America that
he married a Brazilian lady from the
province of St. Catharine's. She ac
companied him in most of his eXpedi

STUDIES to which he was exposed dur
ing the many years that he battlct
for the republic of Rio Grandc.

ICEBERGs.

rev sights in nature are more i'm
posing than that of the huge, solitary
iceberg, as, regardless alike of wind
aud tide, it steers its course across the
lace of the deep, far away from land.
Like one of the frost giants of Scan
dmavIan mythology, it issues from
the portals Of the north, armed with
great blocks of stone. Proudly it
sails on. The waves that dash in foam
against its side shake not the strength
of its crystal walls, nor tarnish the
sheen of its emerald caves. Sleet
and snow, storm and tempest, are its
congcnial elements. Night falls around,
and the stars are reflected tremulously
from a thousand peaks, and from the
green depths of caverns measureless
to man."
The visible portion of an iceberg is
only about one-ninth part of the real
bulk of the whole mass so that if
one be seen 100 feet high, the lowest
point, may, perhaps, be away down
500 feet below the waves. Now it is
easy to see that such moving island
will often CRATE across the summit
and along the sides of submarine hills;
and when the lower part of the berg
is roughened over with earth stones,
the surface of the rock over which it
passes will be torn up and dispersed,
or smoothed and striated, while the
boulders imbeddcd in the ice will be
striated in turn.
But some icebcrgs have been seen
rising 800 feet over the sea and
these, if their submarine portions sunk
to the maximum depth, must have
reached the enormous total height of
200 feet. By such mass any rock
or mountain top existing 2400 feet be-
low the surface of the ocean would be
polished and grooved, and succeeding
berGs depositing mud and boulders
upon it, this smoothcd surface might
be covered up and suffer no change
until the ocean bed should be slowly
upheaved to the light of day.
In this way submarine rock sur
faces at all depths, from the coast
line down to 1000 or 5000 feet, may
be scratched and polished and cventu-
ally entombed in mud. 1t is upon
this theory only that we are able to
account for the many huge boulders
that lay scattered about upon the
mountain, valley and plain.
