DECREASE AMONG LUTHERANs.-A writer in the

shadow of the Lutheran Church growing less, yet
such is the case according to the statistics of the
Lutheran Almanac. The copy for 1865 gives the fol-
lowing grand total: Ministers. 15i3 congregations,
2,765; cemmuncants, 292,7 723 The Almanac for 1865

TheHonrse Cry

The following passage in late Lon
don letter, has startling significance at
this time; Seventeen years'ago cheap pa
pers were unknown; and such an institu-
lion as that Of peripatetic street news
vendors was unknown also. There was,
indeed, no chance sale, to use trade
term, for newspapers. But, as a result of
this state of things, peculiar custom
prevailed in London. Whenever news of
any general interest occurred after the
usual publishing hours, men with horns
used to go through the less frequented
streets, bawling out at the top of their
voices some startling news-the full,
genuine, and veraciOus account of which
they were prepared to sell for
any sum they could extOrt from the
curiosity of the public. OF late years the
practice has fallen into disuse. In default
of news, the horn men took to inventing
it, and organized trick, called by q slang
phrase ''the cock and hen trade" Two
men, for instance, would perambulate, the
one shouting ''death ola man from in
toxication," and dropping his voice at the
word a; the other replying Emperor
Napoleon-gone to st. Cloud, and like
wise slurring over the words following
Napoleon" Thus people bought the
paper, and yet, when they discovered their
mistake they could have no remedy, as
the vendors could not legally be accused of
any direct fraud. But the trick when dis
covered, killed the goose that laid the gold
en- eggs; and also, as cheap evening news
papers came into fashion, the people re
fused to pay sixpences and shillings for ex-
tras But, as have said, in l848, the an
mas mira6iIiS of revolution, the night
news-venders were in their glory. Every
day throughout that eventful summer we
heard the news shouted of some throne
upset, some story of the barricades, some
battle, that had been lost or won. And
one evening in the close of that long
troubled summer, when the deluge seemed
to be beginning to subside, 1 remember
hearing the familiar shout of the newsboys
approaching the quiet Belgravia street, in
which was then residing. As the hoarse
broken cry grew nearer heard the doors
of the neighboring houses open, and peo-
pie focked out into the streets to buy the
supplement. Going myself to the window,
1 heard the words shrieked out in dull
grating tone, "The cholera the cholera!
the cholera is herep' It was thus that the
first tidings reached London of the dis
ease having appeared in England; and
those who learnt it in the same way that
1 did myself, are not likely to have forgot
ten the sensation. .. .....

Orgnnizinc Coneress.

The Press (Philadelphia) has letter
from Colonel Forney at Washington,
which says;
"No better answer to the extraordinary
expectation, INDUCED in some quarters,
that Mr. Mcpherson, clerk of the last
! House, who is to call the new House to Or
der on the 4th day of December, 1865,
should recognize and call from his initial
roll the claimants from the recent seeded
States, could be desired than that furnish

cember, 1868. That gentleman is now
acting with the Democratic party and his
action has direct bearing upon the at
tempt made by the late Secessionists, to en-
ter Congress before the merits Of their
respective cases are fairly examined and
decided by the body of the uncontested
members
1.-THE example of Mr. Etheridge, in ex-
Guiding members from regular adhering
States like Maryland, Missouri, Kansas,
Oregon and West Virginia, from the first
roll at the organization of the House in
the Thirty-eighth Congress, was sanctioned
by the Democracy with equal unanimity
and determination. | submit to such au-
thorities as the New York World and Ma

better pause and take breath before trying
to make an issue in advance against Mr.
Mcpherson, who in the Thirty-ninth will
have to call the House to order, by insist
ing that he should do otherwise in regard
to States that were in bloody rebellion
against the Union for four years, and are
not now ready to obey some of the most
important laws of Congress, including the
oath that every Senator and Representative
in the last Congress freely swore"

OIL NEWS.
The Oil Product of PithOIe.

Pithole has now 80 producing wells
sixteen that have produced, but are now
out of order The daily yield, is s,6O3
barrels, or nearly six barrels per minute.
At S6 per barrel, the present price of oil,
it amounts to S51, ,64s. The sum of Sl2,-
900 pays all expenses, being a profit Of
$49,618 every twenty-four hours. Here
the reader must not imagine that the above
profit is taken away from Pithole, for
about one-fourthis invested in oil interests
at this place, and one-eighth at other places
in the oil regions. 1t is strange, but,
nevertheless true, that those who have
once realized fortune in the oil interest
seldom invest in anything else, SO long
as they remain in the oil regions. We
also send the amount Of oil on hand up to
this date, of which the total is SO, $50 bar
rele, valued at Sc per barrel, amounting
to $3.50, leo. At the tank belonging to
the Pipe Company, there are three two
inch pipes, each Of which are pouring
forth large stream of oil, pumped from
the tanks of the principal wells. The oil
in this tank we have made no note OF, but
are told 100 barrels per hour is forced from
it to the Miller farm.

The Baltimore American has an article on
the Monroe Doctrine in relation to the
Mexican question, which it concludes with
the following admirable summary of the
situation:
But Louis Napoleon's wife, the En-
press Eugenie, is a Spanish Catholic, de-
voted to her religion and her race. The
Church party in Mexico is that which
solicited foreign interference. The Pope
is under obligations to Napoleon for keep
ing him in his pontifical seat by French
bayonets, against the wishes of the italian
people. Eugene is great friend of His
Holiness, and has wifely influence with
her imperial husband. Her mother coun-
try-Spain-was former mistress of Mex
leo, and Mexico is a good field for the
more secure establishments of Papal power
The failure of the Spanish. attack upon
Mexico in 1852, left the field
open for some other enterprising champion
Of the "Latiip race" So Louis Napoleon,
taking advantage of our internal dissen-
sions, has tried his hand to some purpose,
and put scion of the House Of Ham
burg the most reactionary Of all Euro
pean families-upon the throne His ul-
innate purposes are, of course unknown,
for he has acquired the art of keeping
silent. He knows what they are well
enough, but it is quite possible the failure
of the Southern Confederacy may have
caused modification of them. There is
one article of American faith not in the
Constitution of the United States, but
thoroughly ingrained into the constitu-
tions Of the citizens of the United States,
known as the Monroe Doctrine. That
doctrine forbids interference with estab-
lished governments on the American Con-
tinent by European or other foreign pow
ers- 1t belongs to no party or no sect,
but all men Of all parties and all seets,
