THE WALDENSEs IN lTALY.-Ihe Rev
Mr.. Appia, pastor of Waldensian Church
in Naples. now on u visit to this country,
made some interesting statements, at Park
St. Church, Sunday evening, on the pro-
gress of the gospel in Italy. According
to his representations, all Italy, with the
exception of the Roman States, Is now
open to the distribution of Bibles and re-
licious tracts and books, and to all pru-
dent evangelical labors. The Waldensian
Christians had come out of their mountain
fastnesses, and following the wake of the
Italian army. had established preaching
stations and Christian churches in numer-
Gus places. At Venice, they had church
of 100 members, and good congregation
of Protestant hearers, as many. Mr.. Ap-
pia said. as he was then addressing In
Park street Near Mount Etna. in Sicily,
thay- baA another Church, naal Nora-'e --dtluh-
formed OF men and women who had recent
IL come out from the Romish church. Near
Messna there was another church and con-
gregation of Protestants. Near Naples,
little congregation of Protestant believers
had sprung up. as the fruits of reading a
single Bible, which had found its way into
that neighborhood In the city of Naples
a great and good work was in progress.
They had two churches there already, Sun
day schools, training school for teachers
and preachers and most hopeful opening
for doing good At Florence and at Leg
horn, and some other places, the good
work of Evangelization was going on with
most encouraging prospects. Several
priests had reuounced Romanism and be-
come Protestant teachers Trareler.

SURVEYS OF JERUSALEM AND SINAI.-COl
Sir Henry james, Director-General of the
British Ordnance Survey, reports that the
expense incurred by publishing the Survey
of Jerusalem will soon be more than COW
cred by the profits arising from the sale OF
copies. The demand, especially for the
photographs, has been so great that IT
has been difficult to meet it during the win
ter months, when very few photographs
can be taken. The survey of Jerusalem
having given so much satisfaction to the
public, the Rev. Pierce Butler, of Ul-
combe Rectory, Bent, proposed that a
survey of Mount Sinai and of considera-
bic portion if not the whole peninsula OF
Sinai should be made under the direction
of Sir I'll. James, with view to identify
the route taken by the Israelites, and the
places mentioned in the Bible Mr.. But
Ter had obtained the sanction of the Sec
retaryof State and War to the undertaking.
and issued circulars which brought sub
scriptions from several noblemen and
gentlemen desirous of seeing this survey
made, and he had paid his passage to
Alexandria. with the intention of proceed
ing to Cairo and Suez for the purpose of
making preliminary arrangements for the
expedition, when he was suddenly taken
i'll, and died in February, on the very day
he was to have left England.

MISSISSIPPI RIVER, June 10, 1865.
FRIEND WILLARD The scenery on the
river for thirty miles below St. Paul, is not
particularly striking. Lake Pippin begins
about 90 miles below St. PauI--is eighteen
miles in length and from one to four miles,
wide. It is merely an expansion of the
river Us Won approach this lake from
above, the scenery is most inviting. The
bluffs rise from 100 to 80 feet, some per-
pendcular, others inclined with an angle of
= : and covered with beautiful green
shrubbcry. reminding YOU of the green hills
of Vermont Some most remarkable bluffs,
near the head Of Lake Pippin present them
selves in shape like beautiful mounds and
green to the summit Near Lake City is the
memorable =. Maiden Rock of traditionary
history 1t was in this locality that young
Indian wooed and won the heart of the
daughter of chief of another tribe. The
father forbade the marriage and drove the
lover from his grounds. Secret interviews
were had between the young lovers, and
bold cliff was the endeared, favored retreat.
The old Chief. with Indian revenge, sought
the Young couple and found them on this
rock. 81 Fly saii the maiden, - the Great
Spirit protect thee The lover darted for
the timber and the maiden for the brink of
the preciplce. The chief saw the fate of his
daughter and called to her to hold and 90
with the young Indian. But he called in
vain 1t was too late On she rushed with
frantic haste, and plunged down the fatal
rock Hence the name. . Maiden Rock .
T. this day the place is pointed out to the
traveller.
Below this the scenery at points, is pecu
liarly interesting. The bluffs come near the
river, and are scalloped. Imagine a bolC

semi-circular scallop with a radius of 100

conductor of a night train, a perfect
gentleman who looks closely to the
Interests Of his employers, as also
to that of his passengers in seeing
that they are not carried beyond
their destination whilst asleep for
which kind Office VIC have reason to

What was Thought.

1t was thought, urges every bond
holding radical in the country, that
"when the bonds were. issued the
war would be over in few days"
1t was also "thought' that those
who had contracts FIR supplies, real
izing profit of from ono hundred
to one thousand per cent on their
investments. were friends of the
soldier and favorable to the union
under the constitution.
1t was also Thought that the
contractors and thieves who had
coined their i'll gotten gains into
60 ;rnmcnt bonds at less than half
their face, stood ready to endorse
the credit of the government fully
i'll every way that would tend to
sustain the credit Of its paper.
What is now thought is that
they only meant to make good
speculation to themselves, rcpudiat-
ing their contract to take the paper
Of the government, by law declared
to be money, iii payment Of their
fraudulant claims against the federal
treasury.
