ing of the case OF our friend Tes.
tard, the other day {wbo is now a
prisoner of the French Government
in Bordeaux,) we had, but meagre
groundwork for an argument, and
as frequently happens--"the wrong
end Of The case The government
of France is right aud Testard, is

ment 60 the French Consul resident
in this city--Monsieur L. Bonnecaze,
states the case Of Testsrd, in vety
brief terms, thus when Testard
left bis native country, he was a
Conscript--had passed the ordeal
of the ballots, and had drawn the
black bali. He had two years to
serve when he came here on fur.
Tough. or course, by virtue Of his
birth. his government has a recog.
nized right Be- claim the unexpired
term Of his service, and even to
treat him as deserter. Any sol
der, regularly enlisted in Uncle
Sans regular army, who should
go away indebted TO the govern.
meni, for an unexpired term, would
on coming back, be treated in very
much the same manner as our
friend Testard We feel assured
that after seeing this corrected ar.
ticle, Testard, will bear himself in
manly, manner or buy some less
valuable man, than himself TO take
his place.

Institute, when about thirty congregations
were present. ...
The Executive Committee state that
they have collected and RENTED to SIR
Moses Montehoro the sum Of $40 900 for
the relief of the Morocco refugees. They
call attention 10 the difficult negotiation
necessary TO establish their rights under
the treaty with Switzerland, and also to
the fact that no provision was made for
any privileges to citizens of Jewish faith
in the treaties with China and Japan
They refor to the fact that no Jewish citi-
zen can hold office under the Constitution

THE FIpsr METEoR--VIEws or

The FIRST METEoR--VIEws OF
PRoF. HENRY.--The Newark Mr-
cnry gives The following extract from
aprivate letter, written by Prof. Henry:
"The aurora borealis is undoubted-
" an electrical phenomena, and it Is
now highly probable that the distur-
bance Of the electrical equilibrium Of
the earth is due to magnetic Undue
tons Of the sun. From the latest
observations it appears that the fire.
quency Of the aurora is subject 30
regular occurrences and that the ap.
pearance Of these comedies with that
Of a similar recurrence Of the spots Of
the sun. The subject is now 10 pro-
cess of Investigation, but it will re-
quire a number Of years before the
facts can be approximately made out.
The meteor was undoubtedly body
Of considerable magnitude, coming
from celestial space into our atmos-
phere, ana possibly, though not pro-
badly, passing out Of IL again. The
origon of these bodies is unknown
and II is not improbable that they are
portions of the original material Of
which the earth and the other plan.
cts were constructed. The deception
in regard to the height arises simply
from the fact that we cannot judge Of
distance alone by the mere sight Of
an object we are obliged to take into
consideration its size, its distinctness
and other circumstances, and there
fore when an object appears under
entirely unusual conditions, the judg
ment We form Of its conditions must
be entirely at fault. If IL BIO in reali.
~ large body at great distance,
and we Imagine IL a small one, such
as for example sky rocket, il will
appear at the distance of the latter.
The error arises in applying the habit
,ual judgement ofthipgs Of which we
have an ABUNDANT experience to those
of rare occurrence"

ARCHAEOLOGICAL "A new chapter
in the Eleusinian mysteries has
just been opened to the day. On
the Esd June the excavations which
have been for some time in pro-
gress at Eleusis. were brought to
an end. The Temple of Ceres has
been completely uncovered, and
with the temple an infinite number
embarrassing architectural remains.
Tue most remarkable of these are
the propyl1a, described by Cicero
IN his letters, and a superb statue
Of Adriau's favorite Antinous, lack
ing only the left arm. This is the
only life-size statue, and probably
therefore the only accurate por.
trait of this famous type of mascu.
line beauty which has yet been
found.

B@r The more peaceably and
quietly we get on, the better for us
and others. In nine cases out of
ten, the wisest policy is if man
cheats you, quit his company !; if
he ISLANDERS you, take care to live
so that nobody will believe him
No matter who he is, or how he
misuses you, the wisest way is gen.
orally to leave him alone, for there
is nothing better than this cool,
calm, quiet way of dealing WITH
the wrongs we meet.

BEGINNING OF THE FIFTH V0LUM I
In assuming the control Of the Atlantic Month
ly, its new proprietors deem it scarcely needful
to spend many words in assurances or promises.
The congratulations and good wishes they have
received from all parts of the country seem 10 jus.
tify them in the confidence that their own char.
acter as publishers will be accepted by the numep
Gus readers and friends of the Magazine as q war.
rant that they will do everything in their power to
increase its interest, to enlarge its circle o: attrac-
ton, and to raise is standard Of ability in ell
departments.
They Thick IL proper to say, simply, that no
change will be made in the general character Of
the magazine; that all the writer's whose contribhS
tons have established it in the popular favor will
continue to make it their medium of communica.
ton with the public; and that the relations of tho
publishers with authors on both sides the ATLANTIC
will enable them to add materially to the variety,
interest, and value of it's pages.
The Atlantic has never been, and will never bA.
o sectional journal. Its publishers acknc wledee
no parallels Of latitude in the Republic of LettereS
aud, while they will judge of any article offered
them, not by the source whence 1t comes, but by
its own intrinsic worth, they will at the same time
endeavor to maintain It's character as a periodical
10 which earnest thinkers may find expression,
~unhampered by fear of that narrow censorship
which what is loudest. but not deepest, in Public
Opinion would fain establish.
TERMS. - Three Dollars per dnnum, or twenty
five cents a number. Upon the receipt OF the sub
~scription price, the publishers will mail the work
to any part of the United States, prepaid. Sub
scriptions may begin with either the first or nnY
subsequent number. The postage of the Atlantic
is thirty.six cents a year, if prepaid.
The pages of the Atlantic are stereotyped, and
back numbers can be supplied.
CLUBs.-For Ten Dollars the publishers wiz
send Eve copies of the Atlantic for one year,
the subscribers to pay the postage.
C~lergymen, Teachers, and Postmast5fs will re-
ceive the work for Two Dollars o year.
Booksellers and Newsmen will obtain the terms
by the hundred, etc., upon application to the
Publishers.

THE ANTI-sLAvERY BUGLE.

One Sabbath in four, he dsvotes 10 the children,
and his church is thronged with the little ones, to
whom he breaches love and trust, and leads to God,
aud Christ, as the Father, who said: "Sufer lit.
tie children to come unto me, aud forbid them not,
for of such is the kingdom of heaven" He frightens
them with no denunciations, and disgusts them
with no stern, iorbidding exhortations or formal
tiles. The little ones 10 his flock will never ask, 90
did the little daughter Of the Puritan mother, who
had taught her child ,hatIIeaveu, would be one, long
long Sabbath; and at the same time had told her
that little girls who played, and sang, and laughed,
and danced, on Sunday, would be sent to hell
"Mamma," said this young child; "if l am good
when go to heaven aud learn my Sabbath school
lesson, and DON'T play or make dry noise for a
good long while, don't you think God will let mt
60 down TO hell some afternoon and have a good
play 7"
MT Deecher will never teach his scholars to
leel that hell is better than heaven. We found,
indeed that he was an "odd man." and "the
queerest fellow we ever saw" Would there we're
more like him. In his private life, he is a grea'
jester-a great wag; mirtaful aud misuhievOus as
a boy, and full Of sport and play as a young kit
ten. He uever discusses, in an argumentasive
way, doctriDal points; he speaks his own truth, and
leaves it in its own strength to reach the hearts
Of those who hear. He cannot be ever abused into
a contest, and will not DO provoked to answer bit
terness with bitterness.
Such was Thomas X. Beecher. who preside'
over a Congregational Church in Elmira, New
York, as l saw him and heard Of him, from those
who have been in daily intercourse With him fol
years; and his young wife is truly a help-meet fol
him )" in his work of love.
