SERMON BY REV. Il. E. HALE-Rev. Edward Il.
Hale, not long since returned from tour in Europe
preached yesterday at the Church of the Unity, an
excellent discourse from the words found in Acts
And the chief captain answered, With great sum
obtained this freedom. And Paul said, But was
free bornn The preacher after describing the rela-
tive advantages enjoyed by Paul. and the chief cap
tain passed to statement of the impressions pro-
duced on his mind by the contrast between society
in America and as he had seen it in Europe, and the
different conception of freedom on the two CONT
nents. The people of America born free, and the
people of Europe just beginning to wonder what
freedom is. The theory in Europe is, said he, that
nothing is to be done without permission. The
cOuntertheory of North America is that everything
may be done unless it is forbidden. Hence, in Eu-
rope, the art of administration becomes fine art;
and the very completely of the system leads TO uni
ty and certain perfection But the state sustains
by this restrictive system great loss of the amount
of working power and a deterioration of the quail
ity of life This perpetual interference on the
part of government with all the interests of the ind
yidual makes the distinction between the subject
and the citizen. There those like Palmerston,
the British premier Cavour the greatest man in Eu-
rope, and Garibaldi, the most attractive who over
come the effect of these restrictions, and in stations
lar above those IN winch Iney were COLhHiauutu ny
government to remain; and the very quality of such
men is one tribute more to the grandeur of man
hood To the diminution in the quantity of effort
and the deterioration of the quality of manhood was
to be attributed what Americans call the slowness
of Europe The evil effects of this pressure on the
outside of life were fully considered, and the ques
ton was suggested what must it be when this
strictve system applied to the inside; to reli
gon which is the essence of life itself The poiti-
cal system is only ofshoot of the ecclesiastical
system. The working of the religious system of Eu-
rope interviewer it is with the governmental sys-
TEN, was described. Even the Professionalism of the
Old World is affected in its vital interests by the in
fuence of suppression and despotism. The speaker
placed Switzerland alone of the nations of Europe
where Paul's and the American idea of freedom
understood. And in America, in New England
founded by believers in religious liberty, to be
found most of that spirit of religious liberty. He
made eloquent appeal for its preservation and as
cendency and, said he to those who with childlike
faith trust in the infinite love of God He will give
the victory.

SALT AS A NUTRIMENT FOR STocK.-Al-
though most persons are aware of the necessi-
ty of using a certain amount of salt in their
daily food, yet | fear many of our most ex-
perienced farmers, are not conscious of the
benefit that arises from an equal care, to intro
duce this element in the structure of every
tissue and food of the animal body, into the
food of their animals. The following expert
ment tried in France, shows the difference
between cattle fatted with and those without
SALT
Six bullocks were selected as nearly as DOS
sible OF the same age and vigor. They were
all supplied with an abundance of nutritious
food; but three Of them Qot No l. receiv-
ed also supply of salt each day. The re-
naming three (lot No q received no salt,
but in other respects were treated like the
first. Until the end of March 1.-THE experiment
began in October) the two lots did not present
any marked difference in their appearance :
but in the course of the following April the
difference became quite manifest, even to an
Impractical eye. At the beginning of October
(lot No. 2 having been without salt whole
year, presented a rough and tangled hide.
with patches here and there where the skin
was entirely unwaved The buocks of lot

aspect of well-managed stall fed animals.
Their viyacity and excitability contrasted
strongly with the dull and unexciable as
pect Of the others, and though their size was
not much above lot No. 2, yet they would
have undoubtedly commanded a higher price

Suspected Tragedy on the Sound,

New York, March 24.-The schooner
Thomas French, from Virginia. picked up on
Wednesday, yawl boat containing China
man, who had escaped from the sloop Spray,
of Milford, Conn, which vessel was sunk the
same day in collision with the sloop Lucinda.
When the collision occurred there was no one
aboard the Spray excepting the Chinaman,
who refused to come aboard the Lucinda. The
captain and his brother, the Chinaman says,
went down in the Sprag. There are strong
suspicious that the Chinaman murdered the
captain and his brother and then deserted his
vessel. His sudden disappearance on arriving
in this city, tends to confirm the suspicion.
The Spray was bound to Virginia for a cargo
of oysters, and Capt. Leete had in his posses
sion funds for the purchase of his CARGO.
