II
No CbHssian country on earth presents
such strange scenes as ours. One lsahs-
piredin Rev. Henry Ward Beechefs Church,
Brooklyn, last Sunday, Feb. bth, ihns can
not be paralleled in Christendom. A little
whitefenaleslaye was exhibited from Wash
ingion city, the capital Of our boasted free
Republic, brought to Plymouth Church TO
be ransomed, TO save her from a future deg
radiation worse than death, under the lash
and in the harem of Southern MASTER
The circumstances were Of touching inter
est, and are thus givenby the N. Y. Times:
A good looking aud intelligent little
girl named Pink, about nine years Of ago,
having in her veins only one-sixteenth part
African blood, (altbough that was more than
enough to make her a slave,) was brought
on from Washington city to Brooklyn
on Saturday last with q view TO the pur-
chase Of her freedom. Her father is at
present one Of the leading physicians Of
Washington. The mother was sold few
years ago to Southern trader. At differ
ent times Eve Of her six children were sold
to various parts of the South, until only
little Pink remained. The child was taken
care of by her grandmother, who had re-
ceived oft-repeated assurances from the
owner that Pink should never be parted
from her. But during the last holidays ar
rangements were made to sell the child for
$500. 1t was thought when she grew up
to womanhoad she would be worth 5000.
Mr.. Blake, young clergyman recently
from Alexandria Episcopal Seminary, hear
ing Of the circumstances, interested himself
to save the child. For this purpose he pro-
cured permission to bring her to the North,
leaving behind him satisfactory security for
the return, either of the child or the price
Of her ransom. The girl was yesterday
morning introduced to the Sunday School
by the Superintendent, Mr.. Theodore Til
ton. Some interesting incidents Of the
child's history we're related by Mr.. Blake,
and the children determined to undertake,
with the assistance Of the Church, the pur-
chase of the child-the classes contribu-
ting IS each. At tho close of the morn
ing sermon, the pastor, Rev. Mr.. Beecber,
took the child into the pulpit, stated the
case TO the congregation, and made an elo-
quent plea for her liberty, which drew tears
from many eyes. The collection plates
were then passed and returned well laden
with bank notes; the money was not count
ed before the close of the service, but la
dy in the audience sent word to the pastor
that she would make up the deficiency, if
any should exist. This announcement was
received with an irrepressible demoustra-
ton Of applause Many persons crowded
around the platform to congratulate the
little girl on her new-found freedom, which
she is now too young fully to appreciate.
The Tribune appositely remarks.
After such an exhibition as this, who can
doubt that we are favored Of Heaven, and
that the Declaration of Independence and
the Constitution of the United States Sc
cures to every man, woman. and child liber-
ty if-they can pay for it. How noble is
chivalry To beget white daughters and
then have them sold as breedersl

salt a. Grand Rapids, mIcnisan.

The Grand Rapids Eagle says there is a
perfect salt fever at that place, owing to
the fact that the strongest brine yet found
in any springs has been discovered there
That paper says:
The Grand River Salt Company have to-
day brought out of their we'll at a depth Of
one hundred and thirty-six feet, quantity
of water which the tester shows to be one
quarter salt-that is, of a strength to yield
bushel of salt from thirty-two gallons"
Later still the same paper says brine ha.
been found stronger even than the above
as it indicated on the salometer one hund
red per cent, which is as strong as salt viii
remain in solution. The average was st
per cent which would yield about bushe
Of salt to every % gallons of water. Tn.
yield at Syracuse is So per cent.

Mrs. Herskel, danseuse at German
theatre in the Bowery, New York, on Sat
urday night last having made a rope as
cension from the stage to the gallery, and
when stepping from tho rope to the stage,
brought her gauze dress 10 contact with the
foot lights, and was instantly in blaze.---
The husband of thounfortunate woman, who
was a musician in the orchestra leaped up
on the stage, followed by other musicians,
and, aided by employees Of the theatre,
who rushed from the rear of the scenes, en-
deavored TO extinguish the flames. In her
fright the sufferer rushed wildly about, fan
ming them into 6ereer action BY the draft
aud in this way every vestige Of clothing
was destroyed, and she died In few hours

JoHN BRowN IN FLoRDA.--A gentleman
who is spending the winter in Florida for
the benefit of his health writes:
%The news of the John Brown affair
reached Florida before we did, and party
of chivalroys citizens had an indignation
meeting aud threatened to tar and feather
every abolitionist who might venture among
them, understand from one of the resi-
dents of the place, that not one Of the in
dighant citizens aforesaid owned slave, or
had money enough to buy one. They ap-
pointed committee to wait upon poor
Jersey minister, half dead with bronchitis,
but the only thing they could find against
him, was, that he had been seen TO shake
hands with a nigger, SO they only warned
him.

Bayard Taylor OstracIsed in virginia.


The young Christians Of Richmond are
of the pious wise school; and accordingly
the Young Mems Christian Association
have notified Bayard Taylor that the invi-
tation rendered him, and which he had ac-
cepted, to lecture in Richmond, has been
withdrawn. The reasons assigned are, his
connection with the New York Tribune, and
the sceptical character of certain parts of
his lecture on Humboldt. Bayard makes
a cutting reply through the Tribune to the
note of the Chairman of the Association
and thus rubs salt into the gashes:
1n conclusion let me say that have
travelled in all the principal portions of the
earth-that ! know all forms of govern
meut and all religious creeds, from personal
observation and study; but that nowhere
in any of the lands or races most bitterl,
hostile to Republicanism and Christianity
have | been subjected to a narrower o
more insulting censorship.
Yours for free thought and enIightene,
Christianity. BAYARD TAYLOR.
