sAristides Will Return to Athens"

Such was the language used by Hon.
JOHN FORSYTH, in his able and eloquent
speech in vindication of STEPHEN A. DOUG
LAS, delivered in the Legislature of Alabama,
on the 29th of November last. Yes, re-
peats the editor of that fearless paper, the
Tennessee Democrat, Aristides will return to
Athens the vindictive edict of ostracism
will be revoked by the potent voice CT the
American people, and STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS
will return amid the shouts Of victorious
thousands The storms of malignant oblo.
guy that have howled around him, will pass
away, and justice will render unto him the
merited plaudits of grateful people. The
vindicator of the Constitution the rebuker
of fanaticism the friend of the people; the
champion of Democracy yet he has had to
contend against the food-tides of unmerited
opprobrium. His position in regard to the
great question of Territorial Policy has been
studiously misrepresented, and his real SEN
timents carefully withheld from the people
by those who denounce him as traitor
But truth will get the ascendant, and car
istides will return to Athens"
We look forward with pleasing hope to
that day when the sober judgment of the
American Democracy shall put the seal of
emphatic disapprobation upon that abusive
warfare that has been waged against one of
the sternest and most incorruptible Patro-
OTIS that ever lived in the tide of time the
man who has the boldness and manly indie
pendence to do his duty, regardless of the
clamors of pretended friends and the denun-
Citations of inveterate foes. We rejoice in
the fact that the time is not distant, when
the verdict Of generous people will virdi-
cate STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS from the asper-
sions that have been heaped upon him; that
the dag is close at hand achen the unjust SEN
tence of ostracism aylU be revoked, and "Ar-
istides be recalled to athens" by the united
voice of the american Democracy.

Mercantile Or1anz

The citizens of Atlanta, Georgia, have held
public meeting to express their gratitude
to number of firms of New York merchants
for their munifcent liberality in presenting a
handsome organ to the Central Presbyterian
Church of that city. The firms, fifteen in
number are mentioned sby name in the res
olutions, and the Atlanteans promise to
recognize their common brotherhood" with
them.
1t was sad reflection of the Savior that
the children of this world are wiser in their
generation than the children of light. This
disparity modern improvements have
changed, and it will be conceded that these
children of light at New York understand
how to make to themselves friends of the
mammon of the Southern trade, quite as well
us any of the children of the world.
Mercantile drummers will be superseded
py the far more effective institution of mer-
camille church organs. It used to be thought
a difficult feat to serve God and mammon;
but now the praises of Jehovah, and adyertis-
ing strains of excellent stocks of goods for
the Southern trade, will sweetly blend in
the tones of the organ ofthe New York mer-
chants, whose common brotherhood" will
be ''recognized' by the Central PRESBYTERIAN
Church of Atlanta, and their soundness
on the Congo goose, duly certified.

The Proprietors of the DAILY PRESS offer to the
public complete newspaper, into which more mat
ter is condensed than is contained in some daiies Of
much greater pretensions in size, and which they
furnish at price that brings II within the reach of
every man and woman in Cincinnati, who able to
labor.
We ask fair comparison of the Press with the
other papers of this city of any other CITY, and the
judgment of our readers whether we do not furnish
a paper equally attractive ut one-half, less than
half the cost of the other Cincinnati dailes. %
The DAILY PRESS, since it came under the present
management has increased rapidly in circulation,
and has now probably as large circulation within
the city of Cincinnati any other Journal and is in
creasing at rate equal to the most sangune expec-
tstions of its proprietors. ..,
From its large circulation, and from its size which
makes advertisements much more conspicuous than
they can be in the large papers, THE DAILY Press
offers the most valuable advertising medium in this
city Its advertising business has largely increased,
and its columns are respectable exhibit of the bust
ness and enterprise Of the city. Its columns
pecially looked large class of
Wants" and "For salc," and for servants, ETC.,
which almost invariably bring prompt answers.
People who are out of employment, who want
help of any kind can place their needs before thou
sands of the laborng employing classes by twen-
ty-fye-cent advertisement in The DAILY Press.
THE DAILY PREss has also q larger circulation in
Covngton and Newport than the aggregate of all the
other Cincinnati papers.
Business men in Cincinnati can In no way increase
their business easily and certainly as by adverts
ing in this paper ...
Routes can be easily established for the DAILY
PRESS in any of the towns within days dis
tanee of Cincinnati by railroad and carriers will find
that little energy and labor will build up routes
which will be valuable to them; and the great num-
Der of paper that be distributed in al.
most any town, will furnish handsome income to the
carrier ....
We are ready to make arrangements for routes In
towns yet occupied with persons who can furnish
satisfactory assurances of character and responsi.

A QUESTION SETTLED FOR PRELATEs.-Mon-
sieur Dupin, recently, in conversation, asked
the Emperor why he saluted the Archbishops
and Bishops with the title Of Non SeigReur
my Lord.) Because it seems to be the usual
custom, said the Emperor. NJ. Dupin remon-
strated, and told his Majesty that it was mad
missible for a sovereign to address one of
his subjects with title that placed the sub

GREAT INVENTION FOR CHURoHEs-A
LoNG-NEEDED ACOUSTIC MAcHNE.-The New
York Times, in recent issue, informs us of a
remarkable invention, which we gladly COM
mend to church-goers
In the City Hall Park the other day, an
inventive genius had on exhibition contri-
vance for the benefit Of those hard of hearing,
which attracted the attention of the ever
curious crowd. The instrument was nothing
less than great reservoir for the collection
of sound, connected with series of distribu-
ting pipes for conveying to many different
ears at once. 1t is designed for use in
churches, one of which III this city, ~has
adopted it. The funnel-shaped vessel is
placed before the pulpit and catches the
words as fast as they drop from the speakers
lips. From the bottom of the funnel, pipes
are laid beneath the floor to the various parts
of the house occupied by those whose hearing
is defective; and these terminate in ear-pieces
attached to the side of the pew. The inven-
tor did not explain whether these extremitieS
are furnished, like gas-burners, with stop
cocks to enable the hearer to turn Off the
sermon when the odor of any part thereof
becomes Objectionable. Itis to be presumed,
however, that such an arrangement is fur
nished, so that the amount of spiritual light
which each auditor requires may be easily
regulated by himself
Of course, in this event, verbometer
should be provided for each pew that no man
may be called upon to pay for more preach
ing than he actually consumes. From this
new invention a light seems to dawn upon
the progress of church conveniences. For
many who now stay away from church, be-
cause they are too lazy to CO. or too poor to
afford fitting apparel, can have gospel
brought to their own door," In fact, the
adoption of the new contrivance would save
everybody the necessity of leaving home to
hear the sermon.
The laying of the "mains" from the various
churches through theprincipal streets, would
furnish all an opportunity to introduce
preaching into their houses as conveniently
as they now introduce water or gas, doing
away, perhaps, in some instances, with the
necessity of the latter element altogether.
Not least among those benefited by the adop-
ton of this plan would be the clergyman
himself who could preach the church res
ervoir full, at his convenience through the
week, and hoist the gate at the proper time
on Sunday.

FABBRI, THE New SoPRANO.-A New York
paper of considerable musical pretension
says of the new soprano, who has made her
debut at the Winter Garden, under the tute-
lage of Maestro Maretzek;
A rehearsal of the new soprano, Madame
Fabbri, in Verdis opera of TTapiata, took
place at the Winter Garden. The Signora
Fabbri has good looking head, and is a
graceful person, with one Of the most pow
erful voices we have recently heard from any
soprano. Her finish is highly satisfactory,
and, in the more quiet portions of her vocal
ism, her voice is musical and piquant. In
the higher portions of her register however,
perhaps from nervousness, it struck us as
that, in this character, she will produce a
great effect. Her face is very expressive, and
she understands what the stage requires bet
ter than most professional singers

Thoughts of Home in the Arctic Region.

Thoughts of Home in the Arctic Region.
One of the finest passages in DR.. Hayes's
Arctic Boat Journey is in the twenty-eighth
chapter, under the head of Thoughts Of
Home" The Doctor was on visit to spot
where, some weeks before, he had talked
with hiscompanions of home, and he schemed
for the deliverance of the party from their
icy prison. The sun was NO longer in sight
TO warm the sky, and to put glow into the
heart of the wanderer. "The moon had
usurped his place, and her silver face seemed
to reflect nothing but the coldness of the ice
fields which lay beneath her." DR.. Hayes
thus describes his experience at this time:
| looked on every side with yearning
for something outward to tighten the heavy
weight which oppressed my spirits; for
darker times, and times of greater RESPONSE
bility, / knew were at hand; but desoiation
and the silence of death were everywhere
around me, and better than ever before, bet
ter probably than ever again, / felt what it
was to depend upon ones self and God.
Then came reaction, which will be readily
understood by the intelligent reader. l arose
from the rock upon which had been seated,
and again fixed my eyes upon the sea. The
stern silence which had been almost mad
dening, became nov source of inspiration.
In the reflux of thought which followed,
forgot the cold moon, the leaden stars, the
frowning cliffs, the desolate waste, the chilly
glacier; forgot my loneliness and, / was back
again in the world of life and power and ac-
ton. The frozen sea grew into fertile plain,
the hammocked ridges were resolved into
walls and hedges; and southern pano-
rama of sunny fields spread itself before me-
A crack which meandered to the southwest
which had recently opened to the tide, and
from which were curling up wreathsef "frost-
smoke" favored the illusion.
Clusters oflittle hammocks suggested herds
of cattle and fosks of sheep. Larger masses
were converted into trees, and a long bank
of snow, whose veritabe wall threw dark
shadow on the plain, was a margin of dense
forest. Farther way, pinnacled berg be-
came a church with spire and belfry; another
wore the appearance Of ruined castle, while
still farther to the southwest, where the
stream seemed to discharge itself into the
ocean, stood a giant fort under whose brist-
ling guns lay a feet of stately ships.
Around all that saw were clustered home
associations, and objects which, years before,
had suggested TO my boyish mind the serious
purposes of life; and returned away with
renewed strength to fight the battle through,
and with renewed determination to behold
those scenes which my Imagination had
grouped together on the desolate sea.

rhe influence Of Reputation on Criticism.

The influence Of Reputation on Criticism
A writer in Blackcood touches incident
ally upon species Of injustice very COM
mon with critics. He alludes to the fact that
in venturing to have an opinion of Fielding
different from that generally received, he
encounters the opposing recollections and
literary traditions of all who have read the
book, or read about it, and then says:
Aiding this, there is the fact of great
fame, and the unconscious tendency in most
minds to exalt the writers of the past over
those of the present-a tendency which rem
ders freedom of judgment somewhat diff
cult. Every one. even the most independ-
cnt Of critics, unconsciously magnifes an
excellence in an artist of renown; and many
trait which would pass unregarded in a
modern work, will become stock quotation
if repeated from an ancient. Reverence is a
good and noble attitude; there is strength AS
we'll as generosity in admiration; but the
admiration should be universal, and given as
freely to the brother fighting by our side, as
to the statue on its pedestal in Westminster
Abbey.
Il is painful fact, that many men who are
unstinting in their praises Of the dead, have
scarcely kind word to bestow on the living;
and much Of the laudation with which our
books and journals resound is only the OBJ
verse of q reluctance to admire the men Of
our own day. Something Of this is envy
and pettiness, but more ignorance and timid-
| ity-ignorance of what really constitutes
greatness in art; and timidity in expressing
an opinion which may not be /, ratified by
others. 1t is safe to praise one whom the
world has long agreed to praise; but to an.
! ticipate the world may compromise. the
critics sagacity; and Il is noticeable that men
