THE name of Newport News was derived
from the fact, that in the early days of Vir-
ginia, some of the colonists got discouraged
and were about to start for England. They
met Lord Newport's ship at point near
where Fort Monroe now stands with the
joyful news that aid in great abundance was
close Mt hand. Hence the name.

The Mexican Extraordinary is very much
alarmed, for fear the civil war will cause all
the negroes of the South to break for Mex.
leo. and as they are nearly equal in number
to the Mexicans, 1t fears that they will es'
tablish a negro dynasty.

IT Is calculated that every single bale Of
cotton which reaches England gives actual
employment there to the value Of Sl00. No
wonder there is considerable alarm in that
country at the condition Of American af.
fairs. If they are not careful they will not
only lose the cotton, but the beef and pork.

evEEs MARY AND JOHN KNOX

TAs bssnty, accomplishments snd courage
If Msry, Queen Of Scots, have given her i'm
asnss advantage IN the controversies that have
bssa wsRed concerning Der fer thres hundred
years. III the question had been one relating
to a nsH, or a woman Of inferior attraction
the decision would have been much easier a
bias is felt by every one unconseiously. She
vas beautiful, unfortunate, trained in France
bv the most usscrupulous politicians in Europs
10 court where virtue was a word used 10
speeches and poetry, and chastity was a jest,
snd she vas Badly treated by Elizabeth, who
had 30 rights over her whatever Her religion
hardly professed, practically, to reach her pu-
rity or mortality. Her circumsta nees were
very difficulty; ber subjects turbulent to an
extraordinary degree, snd the religion Of Scot
lahd Of the seyerest form that true christianity
has ever assumed. The rude manners Of the
sge interfered with the comfort and privacy of
lshe young Queen. These are the excuses to
be made for her. They are nrged so conetsn'-
ly and earnestly as to blind the most of Mary
advestures to the facts Of history.
Without descending to the scandal which
has been so freely lavished 10 this case, wo
may say that il is certain that Mary first mar
ried the French Dauphin, next the handsome
and worthless Dnrnley, Of whom she became
tired and Of whose murder her memory has
never been cleared. Ii 10 certain that ia three
months aud one week afterwards she married
Boutwell,, acknowledged on all hauds TO have
been The murderer Of he. husband, while she
was cilher his aceomplianeo, or at least was
perfectly aware Of bis guilt, aud had osed her
power 10 prevent bis PUNISHMENT. Che was
constantly placed in eIuivocal positions With
those whom she saemed TO delight 10 gathering
arouDd her as lovers Rizzo, Donglas, Gardan
besides keeping up sort of system of possir
ble marriage with alnnest every bachelor king
and high noble in Europe. We are sorry moi
to be abe to say more for Mary, bat this 10
the plain, uncoIored testimony of history.
1t strong contrast With tblA figure; which
stands Out from the canvass still graceful and
fascinating, is that unpopular character, John
Knox. 1t is the peculiar fortune, however, OF
such men 10 mellow With time. Those who
are really great amid a thousaad difhculties
can hardly fod dne appreciation until esnr
tories have. shed their quiet light upon their
grave. That John Knox was psrfect char
actar: no man will maintain. Hls faults are
palpabls, aud are among the frst things seen
In him. But be was Of the very mould for
Scotland. If that rugged people we're to be
fashioned into one of the noblsst Churches in
the history of mankind, it surely required one
wao could be sofsensd by no Establishments,
