The Editor of the ST. Joseph Herald
has been taking a trip up the Missouri
river. He speaks thus of Brownville
.'Brownville is alive. and excited over
the prospect of a railroad from Canton,
on the Mississippi to Fort Kearney-
Browhville being the point Of support on
the Missouri. Her inhabitants also insist
that the Pennsylvania Central Company
are pushing forward a survey for a rail
road from Lawrence, through Highland.
Kansas, to Brownville, and thus to Fort
Kearney. And the sawmills of this beauti
full lown buzz with an extra hum: and
turn out cottonwood lumber with an in.
tenslied snap. Brownville is backed by
The best wheat growing country in Neb-
raska. We hope she many have a dozen
railway connections with St. Josepheand
other leading commercial cenIers.
He is decidedly mistaken in locating
the effort we expect from the Pennsyl-
vania Central and has COMPOUNDED the
Atchison and Nebraska City Railroad
with the Air Line. The action of our
last Legislature, if cOnsummated by the
location OF Lincoln, will cost the river
counties the Aichison & Nebraska Road,
as this road will naturally, now, pass up
one of the Nemahas. For this we will
have our delegates to thank.

All Europe mourns the death OF
Macmillan, shot by order of President
Jauraz England has Withdrawn all
diplomatic relations from the Jauraz adj
mistration. France has ordered the
same. The festivities at Paris have been
suspended in consequence.
This is perhaps, just and proper, yet
the "power behind the thrOne'' Of Maxi
MILAN, is still hoDored. Maximillan's
murder rests on Louis Napoleon, and
the thought that blames the Mexicans
would kneel for mercy to a hungry tiger.
What but this fate could be cor any
other man" expect from the half.ciVi-
Used race he went to conquer?
The very excuse that led to his as
SUMPTION of the Mexican thrOne-that
they were incapable of self government,
and had no stability--should have warned
him of his fate if captured. Napoleon
murdered him when he withdrew bis
support /; yet Napoleon is still honored
by the nations who despised Mexicans
therefor.
As to the noble qualities which the
Press just now sees in the record Of
Macmillan, they sound more like the
Iwaddle of romano than truth. He, in
the wisdom of his civilization, and back
ed by Napoleon, entered Mexico to civi
lie it, the half-savages captured and
shot him, in nor more barberous a man.

How to Seek.

Many awakened sinners wonder that
they obtain little light or comfort, when
the trouble is that they are only half
hearted in seeking the pardon of sin and
the renewing of their hearts. The fol-
lowing is very significant:
A farmer, who had long neglected the
house of God, and INDUCED in the use of
profane language, one day lost bank
note in his barn. He searched for it in
vain. At length he said,
"That note is in the barn, and will
search for it until I find ii"
Accordingly he went to the barn, and
carefully moved the hay and straw, hour
after hour, till he found the note. A few
weeks before this he had been awakened
to sense of his need of Saviour, and
had earnestly sought to live better life.
His anxiety increased. A few weeks after
he lost the nete, he sat by the fire musing
on the state of his soul, when he turned
to his wife, and asked,
"What must one do to becomes Chris.
tian 2" "You must seek for it, she re-
piled "as you sought for the bank.note." :"
1t was ga word fifty spoken" He fol-
lowed the direction; and, through the
mercy of Christ he found the "pearl Of
great price," and reoiced in the hope Of
the glory Of God.

For THE CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN.
IS. L, c." and Pulpit Manner.

Mr.. Editor,-I have been gratiGed to
observe around myself and to hear from
other quarters, that the articles of as.
L. c." on Manner an the Pulpit have
excited no little interest. This shows
that they were needed, or at least, that
they were opportune. 1t gives promise
also, that they will do good. Charac-
terized as they are by sound practical
sense, avoiding extreme views, by cul-
tivated taste equally discriminating, and
by profound reverence for the office of
the Gospel Ministry and all the services
of divine worship, my only regret, when
reading them, was, that the writer did
not allow himself wider scope, so as to
embrace other topics closely affiliated to
the one he has so satisfactorily discussed.
l cannot doubt from his habits of obser-
vation as evinced in his articles, that he
has often been panied, perhaps even
more so than with any improprieties in
manner which he signalized, with another
class of faults too common among minis
ters, both old and young; for example,
with the use of Scripture phrases with
an application foreign, and sometimes
contradictory to their proper import
with words and forms of expression .un-
authorized by the canons of gram
mar, rhetoric, or polite usage, and actu-
ally offensive to persons of literary cul,
tivation; and with modes of pronouncing
words condemned by the recognized stan
dards in photography. Many of our min
listers have fallen into the habit of such
faults through mere inadvertence. Their
attention has never been directed to them
