salem sent supply Of Bibles to the
King of Abyssinia in his own language.
He received them with great joy, and
began at once to distribute them, telling
tho priests to whom he sent them that
henceforth they must teach the people
out of this book in the vernacu!ar. The
missionaries W no labor there have gained
a great influence over the mind OF klng
Theodorus. They build roads and
bridges, introduce useful arts of all
kinds, distribute Bibles, and recommend
the truth by their conversation and their
lives. The King so far recognized their
civil services as to raise them to the rank
Of mobiles. He has recognized them to
be right in those points where the doc
trines Of the Bible differ from the tradi.
tons Of the Abyssinian church, and in
token Of it has received the sacrament
Of the Lords supper with them.
The sympatnies of Cincinnati people
are moved for beautiful little girl oil
six years, whose fate hangs doubtfully
betw cen the extremes of life. A year
since, abandoned by her miserable
mother, she was adopted by a wealthy
citizen, and has been treated as his own
child. Now, however, the woman hav-
ing married, her husband has secured
the cooperation Of an unprincipled
Judge, to recover possession of the
child, which has only thus far been pre-
vented by fo.ce. There was great ex.
element recently in the court room
about it, and old Nick Longworth, the
great wine producer, almost got him
self into Jail Tor contempt of court, in
invoking tho mob to protect the little
one. Good for cold Nick -

Fire Island, but finally recovered will

replaced by Mr.. Powers, the sculptor
The bronze statue of Mr.. Webster wa
lost at sea, and never recovered; but
second was cast from the same model
and is now in the State House yard a
Boston. The first model Of the statu
of Mr.. Clay was also lost at sea. TIL
coincidence is certainly remarkable.
