NATIONAL SERMONS. BY GILBERT HAVEN $40. pp.Gj5
Boston: Lee & Shepard.
This handsomely printed volume contains not ser
mons merely but speeches and letters The sermons
nre less sermons than OratiOns delivered from che
pulpit on days of public Fast and Thanksgiving
when. in accordance with tme'hohored CUSTOM the
Puritan clergy took up themes of national import
Ance These religions OratiOns cover the whole
field of the AntiSlayery controversy from the alb
stract discussion OF the Higher Law to the
prophecy of Americas Future suggested by the cleo
tion of Cen Grant to the Presidency They follow
the course of events and feelings through the pre-
Emnary conflict Of IDEAS the subsequent battle OF
policies and the final struggle OF arms, rising and
falling with the tide of history, but always keeping
IN view the principles of justice and liberty and
always making for the goal Of pure democracy.
Though not remarkable for elOquence of dcton, or
grace of style, or originality of thought, they are
direct forcible, sincere, and vehementy in earnest,
slinging closely TO the matter IN hand and exhaust
ING the moral significance of the issues raised. As
history of the intellectual side of the abolition move
Hnent, the book possesses a value of its own.

\ New FURoRE.-They have a new
excitement on the Pacific coast from the
discovery OF new silver mine of mar
veIlous extent and richness, in the noun
tains of Nevada The new district Is
about one hundred and twenty-five miles
southeast of Elko. u town on the Paclhc
railroad four hundred and sixty miles
cast of Sacramento. The stores OF ms
new mine read like fairy :all, and We
reckon many WIN invest will ind more
romance than reality in the riches they
accumulate y private letter from San
Francisco represents the excitement over
these mines as very great, four or il'e
companies day being formed 10 WORK
the new mines. The probabilities are
that many a poor fellow will make a
sinking fund there that he will remember
during life.

JUSTICE AT LAST.-It will be remem-
bered that ut the Portsmouth navy yard,
pending the Impeachment trial of Presi-
dent johnson, young Scotchman, an
assistant naval engineer, named George
b. Sawyer, said in the hearing of his
comrades that ''Mr. Johnson was liable
to Impeachment, and ought to be impeach-
ed, and he hoped and believed the Sen
ate would impeach and remove him"
One of those who heard him, dared him
to repeat the remark, and he did repeat
it, stating that he had merely expressed
an opinion, and he did not think any one
in the service could be punished for such
an expression. He was reported and
tried by naval court martial, sentenced
to be reprimanded, suspended from rank
and duty one year, and placed on half
pay waiting orders. This sentence was
carried out, and the young engincer re-
signed his position in October last and
returned home. \ recent order from the
Navy Department, by Secretary Borie,
revoked the above order and restored
Sawyer to his full rank and pay; and Oh
being informed OF the facts of the case,
President Grant at once gave it his APP
prevail. Mr.. Sawyer is Il young man of
high character, and has many friends who
congratulate him on the act of Justice
done him.

snow fell in the evening, which was fol-
lowed by a powerful wind that rolled 1t
up into balls frequently as large as four

be counted in single field. The same

lied some the next morning TO know

"COMING TO TIE SCRATCH - The
butfalors found in the telegraph poles OF
the overland line new source OF delight
on the treeless prairie-the novelty OF
having something to scratch against.
But it was expensive scratching Tor the
telegraph company, and, there, indeed,
was the rub, for the bisons shook down
miles of wire daily. A bright idea struck
somebody to send to st. Louis and Chi
ca@o for all the brad-awls that could be
purchased. and these were driven into the
poles with a view to wound the animals
and check their rubbing propensity. New
or was Il greater mistake. The butfaloc>
were delighted. For the first time they
came to the scratch sure Of sensation
in their thick hides that thrilled them
from horn to tail. They would 90 fifteen
miles to find brad-awl. They fought
battles around the poles containing them,
and the victor would proudly climb the
mountainous heap of rump and lump OF
the fallen and scratch himself into bliss
until the brad-awl broke, or the pole
came down. There has been no demand
