Correspondence OF the London News, -
Syrta-Au American Missionary
Turned ont of Doors.
BEYRouT, May 26, 1883

l mentioned to you about ten months
ago, that an American Protestant mission
airy had been turned with violence out OF
the town Of Zahle, in Lebanon, by the
bigoted Greek Catholic population OF the
place For some reason or other the
American consular authorities took no ac-
tive steps in the matter, and the conse-
ouence is tliat the offense has been lately
repeated, with considerable aggravation Of
circumstances This time, tls victim IL
the Rev. Mr.. Benton, missionary OF the
Preshvterian Church, belonging 10 the
Syrian mission, and employed by the
American Board of Commits sionels for
Foreion Missionaries. This gentleman s
place of residence is at Bhamdoon, on the
highest ridge Of Lebanon; but in company
with his wife and family. he paid a visit
to the town of Fable, for change of air, in
tending to reside there for Il few weeks,
for the benefit of his health. No sooner
did it get noised abroad that Mr. Benton
was Protestant clergyman, than his house
was surrounded by Il mob of fanatics, who
declared he should not remain another
hour in the place. No plea thu, he could
urge was listened TO for moment; and on
! his declining to move for threats, lie was,
| WIFI his NHe anu tnIec young Sh'lNiSh
forcibly elected from the house he had
hired, and afterward from the town.
AS in the previous case, when the Rev
Mr.. bod was turned out of the same town
tor the same reason, the French Jesuits-
of whom there is large establishment al
! Zahle-never offered to help Mr.. Benton
in the least; and it has since been found
that they were the chief, if not the only
instigators of the disturbance.
TO their eternal shame be it spoken,
these French Jesuits have now on two sep
arate occasions stood by and seen gentle
men and their families treated Ike telons
simply because they were Protestants, ant
without so much as Offering them Il glas'
of cold water. Mr.. Benton arrived II
Beyrout last week, and laid his case be
fore the English and American Consuls
( the former being the official protector o
Protestants in Syria, the later the repre-
sentative of the nation to which the injure'
[ party belongs.

LITTLE KITTIE.
IL YMAuD MONTAGUE.


Do you see her sitting yonder,
where the ripping waters how
Gayly through the grassy meadow,
With n murmur sweet and lowT
now the golden sunbeams brighten
The dark Iuster of her hair,
With its wealth of shining ringlets
Floating o'cr her shoulders fair.
In the crystal tide she dippeth,
Now, her little dimpIed feet
with her slendc or fingers laves them
In the waters cool and sweet
She has gathered, In the meadow,
Daisies white, and vioicts blue,
And the delicate "forSet-me-not''
OF faintest azure hue.
And with skiIIful little fingers,
A fair wreath she wcavcth now,
While tho summer breeze fans, lightly,
Her fair check and sunny brow.
Darling, happy, little Kittie,
Gather flowers while you may,
For the summer, with Its blossoms
Soon, alasI will pass away.
And your lire's sweet spring, dear Kittie'
And its summer, fair and bright,
That with tinv buds and blossoms
Grown thy days with golden light'
All, too soon, will pass forever,
Down life's swiftly-rolliug stream;
But their sweetness e'er will haunt you
Like the ncm'ry of dream.
.,Lightly let the hours roll o'er you,
Youth but little know of pain;
Wintry hours arc all before you'
Spring will meier return again"

The Zanesvilie Courier" says:
AS we have before stated. We think the
crop will be as large ae it has been for two
years past. For, though some fields have
been badly injured, if not entirely de-

Ancient Fiction and Ne oaern Fact

From the Columbus ga Enquirer
Indignantly Repudiated,

The quickest way in the world to make a
Democratic candidate for Office in Georgia or
Alabama lighting mad" is to accuse him of
supporting Buchanan's Administration, or of
still affiliating with the National wing of
the party. "For this election" (as John Van
Buren, used to say in reference to the union
of his Freesoil faction with the Southern
Democracy they are all implacably estrang-
ed from their Northern allies; and men who
did not understand their ways would think
that there Was an ''impassable gulf between
the two divisions-betweeu Buchanan and
Soule, Douglas and Davis, the Van Burens
and the Browns. But experience has taught
us that the Southern Democracy will, when
the proper time comes, easily cross that gulf,
10y escalade or covert-way, and rush once
more to the embraces of Northern FreesOl
Democracy under some compromise or shift
serving banner, with streams so ingeniously
adjustable as in any breeze to present TO the
North or the South the side intended for each
exclusively.
We had thought that if there was any stern
old Democrat in the South who would stand
squarely and faithfully by the Administration
sin its extremity (as Democratic speaker
in our Court house said the other day when
he protested against kicking the dead lion'')
that man was Gov. Moore of Alabama. But
alas that old and influential organ of the
Democracy at Montgomery, the advertiser and
Gazette. repudiates even for him the ''soft im-
parchment" that he is an Administration
National Governor! Replying to Mr.. Sam
ford's brief card-which we publish else
where-the AdUertiSer thus disavows Gov.
Moore's connection with the National Demo
cracy or the Administration.
In justice to Gov. Moore, we add, in con-
clusOn, that we have never heard him accus-
ed of being an Administration National De-
mocracy,' and think that only the distorted
vision Of an opponent for office could have
read it in his record"
