Somebody has been at the pains TO repnb-
lish, in pamphlet form, an article from The
Northern Monthly, on the alleged atheism OF
{" the Constitution in which the writer, while
attempting to defend the Constitution from the
charge, vet, with singular inaceuracy, admits
away his case,r as the lawyers would say, by
concedng that the National Constitution does
not recognize Christianity, and, by sort OF
inverted logic, contrasts 1t in this respect with
the Confederate Constitution, which, with equal
inaccuracy, he leaves az TO infer. did recognize
the Christian religion. The clause in the Con-
federate Constitution which is thus conceded to
he a tribute to Christianity consists of the words
in the preamble, invoking the favor and guild
"ance of Almighty Cod terms which would
be equally applicable in any country whose peo-
ple recognized Supreme Being, whether it were
Christian, Jewish, Mohammedan. or Pagan. The
concluding clause of the Confederate Constl-
tuition reads simply, Adopted unanimously,
March II, 1861" The Ike clause in the Ma
tional Constitution, however, reads as follows
Done in Convention, by the unanimous consent Of the
States present. the seventeenth day OF September IN
rel ard elghtyseyon aud OF .hc independence Of the
United states OF America the twelfth"
Had this been Hebrew document, or one
adopted by any class of persons indispOsed from
any reason to recognize Christianity, it would
have been dated in the year Of the world.
Had it been an inidel document ii would,
like the documents of tho French Revolution,
have dropped the recognition of the birth
of Christ rs the period from which time was
to be computed. Had its authors been re-
gardless of the religious significance which
pertains to the date from which We note the
passing years, they might simply have dated
il rs the COnfederates did, or as one would
date promssOry note But in solemnly sub
scribing it in the mode actually adopted, they
used language inapplcable to Mohammedan,
Chinese. lIindoo, Deistic, or Atheistic people
They recognized not merely deity, but the
"Our Lordr of the Christian faith.

England is again increasing her rigor against
the Fenians, while the latter are unanimous in
denOuncing the CleIkenwell explosion and sim

these two measures will gain the largest num-

both will be greatly advantageous to the pros

Extraordinary EcIInse.

The total eclipse of the sun which is to.
take place on the 18th of August next, will
present such a long duration of darkness
that astronomers are anticipating 1t with
unusual interest. From near Alden, the
central line OF the eclipse extends to the
southern coast of New Guinea, crossing
Hindoostan, the Bay of Bengal, the Ma
layan peninsula, and the Gulf of Siam ON
the way; and at certain placea o this line
the duration of total darkness will be ut
GAG. At the date in question the moon will
not be more than six hours from its peri
gee, while the sun will not be far from its
apogee-a twofold condition, which III
creases the apparent diameter of the moon,
and shows the apparent diameter of the sun
nearly at the smallest. Hence the pro
longed darkness. Such u chance occurs
but rarely, and we cannot wonder. that a
strong desire exists to make the most Of it
in endeavors to solve certain highly im-
portnnt questions in physical science. I'M
luckily, the southwest monsoon viii be at
its fall blast on the 10th Of August, which,
with its heavy clouds, will render, obserya-
ton either uncertain or impossible, except
on the eastern side of the mountain ranges.

In Lagrange, Maine, May 2s, a little girl
named Eva Ellington committed suicide
by drowning She appeared 10 be in usu-
al health and spirits, and left her home
about five O'Clock, saying that she had an
GRAND at a neighbor's; she called there, but
not finding them at home, she went to the
p~ostofice, and wrote a letter and mailed it
to a friend in Bangor, when she went to the
mill pond, about two miles from her home,
called little girl and asked her to 60 up
the stream with her, She went, and Eva
took off her hat and cloak, gave them to
the little girl, requested her TO give them
TO her mother, babe the girl good-by,
plunged in, and before assistance could be
rendered life was extinct. 1t was found at
forwards that she had left a letter at home
for a friend, and the one she mailed TO
Bangor wal taken from the office, and in
both letters she declared her determination
to put al end TO her life, but maintained
that she was perfectly sane, The cause
was probably partial insanity. Her age was
thirteen years and six months. aa

Appalling Suicide.

An English paper says a suicide Of avery
appalling character was recently COM
mitted by a soldier at the Charlton Station
Of the North Kent Railway, a deserter from
the artillery. About ten o'clock, az a train
was approaching the station on its way to
London, a soldier stepped rapidly off the
platform, and standing in the four-foot,
.laded the engine, The terrified people ON
the platform screamed and shouted, and the
engine driver blew the whistle, but not
withstanding, the man determinedly stood
to be crushed TO death, and within Il few
seconds he was knocked down, and
lay upon the line q bleeding
corpse, his arms and legs dis
membered and his head smashed in. As
quickly as possible,the mutilated remains
were gathered up, and being concealed
from observation, were conveyed to a pub
lie house. Information was forwarded 70
the barracks at Woolwich, when upon in
spection of the body it was identified as
that Of Thomas Sheppard, q private in the
18th Brigade Artillery, who had deserted
from his regiment about a month since, anG
up TO yesterday had not been seen or heard

leave to attend q marriage Of Gravesend

Trom TIE New York Express, June 81
The Express readers may remember that
on this day six weeks ago, We announced
that two pedestrians, james Miles, young
Miles, champion Of California and Aus
traha, and Jack Goulding, eX-champion
hurdle jumper Of England, had commenced
10 walk l, 900 miles in 1000 hours, zone
mi le in each hour for q sum of 50, 900,
which should become the property Of the
one who should accomplish the feat, if one
only accomplished it-and If both accom-
plish it then the walk TO be continued till
either should "cave IN" the longest ''Roor"
to receive the stakes. Both plodded away at
them tasks until, two weeks ago, Miles
fell on the track and sprained his ankle,
aud on the same evening shot his trainer,
John Ross, in the neck, in an effort 10 wake
him up. With all this the reading public
are acquainted. After the first furore of
the Miles-lloss tragedy had passed over,
the public forgot the entire transaction.
Goulding, however, contrary TO all expec-
tations, persisted in the effort, and at TWEEN
~ minutes past four this morning CONF
ploted the performance of n task that was
never but onco before accomplished. If
the walking was done "on the
square land no one has openly
| charged that it has not, it is the most oX-
troordinary feat ever achieved by hnman
perseverance, pluck and muscle. The
ground was exceedingly ~unhvorpble; on
saw-dust, over q tagged floor, round four
billiard tables. After each mile the unfor-
tunate walker had to ascend a flight Of
stairs, SO that instead of walking 1000
miles, he must have walked 1.200 miles.
Our reporter visited Goulding to-day, and
found him quite overcome by fatigue, His
physician has forbidden him to sleep only
a few hours at u time until the effects ofthe
long tramp shall have been worn of, but
this IL was found impossible TO comply
with. When fairly asleep to-day, it be-
came next to impossible 10 awake him.
His legs, and more particularly his feet, are
in a very bad state. He Is also afflicted
with worry severe pains in the loins, through
the spine, and dizziness of the head. Con-
additionally a worry light man, he has been
reduced 81 pounds in his six weeks walk,
