The opening article in the atlantic for De-
cember is decidedly amusing and will be read
with universal interest, for therein Ralph
Keeer tells the story of a Patent-Medicine
man whose frankpess is a great deal more
noteworthy than bis discretion, modssty or
principle. Mrs. Stowe continues her Oldtown
fireside stories and tells of the "Ghost in the
Cap'n Brown House." There is the usual in
stalnent of Bayard Taylor's "Joseph and bis
Friends" and Mrs. Child discourses of the re-
sembauce between Buddhism and Catholi-
cism. The second paper entitled Travelling
Companions" by Henry James, Jr., q ''Ples
for Silence" by Fl. I. Tuckerman and s'Father
Blumhardts Prayerful Hotel' by an anony-

AN EXCITEMENT IN THE EAsT-DAMAs-
Gus IN A pANIo-A correspondent of the
London Times, who has received letters from
European and native teachers at the Syrian
School in Damascus, gathers the fact that
there has been an unsettled feeling for some
time past. First came an order from the
Turkish government to close soma mountain
schools near Damascus in connection with
the Anglo American Mission, under the plea
that no school would be suffered but such as
had the sanction of the government. The
Drnish Syrian schools, however, were publicly
examined on the 11th of July, attended by
nearly thousand OF the chief inhabitants of
damascus, the civil and military representa-
ti'es Oh 'he government, and guard of SOL
diers sent by the Pasha.
This was followed by the lannon's ec,;n,e of
the moon on the 18th of July, when ia 70
markably ruddy glow was pronounced bv fbe
Moslems to portend war and bloodshed. and
truly these signs in the heavens were but too
speedily verified by the rumor Of the war be-
tween France and Germany Large bodies
Of soldiers were ordered to be ready to march,
some said against the Persians, others to Con-
stantinople, which the Moslems expected
would be attacked by Russia in case France
should be beaten, in which case it was re-
ported that they threatened to murder the
Christians.
@Great panic prevailed. Crosses were chalk
ed upon the walls and publicly spit upon, as
III the massacres of 1850. The Turkish au-
thorities, however, at once interfeerd to quell
the disturbance, and the ring leaders were ar
rested and punshed.The European ladies and
native teachersswho had,been advised to take
refuge at Beyrout, returned to Damascus,
and as proof of the utterly false and ground
lest charge against the Jewish community, as
we'll as Of the mutual confidence and har-
mony existing between the Christians and
jews, it may be observed that they at once
Iesembled their pupils, a fair proportion of
whom are the children of the first Jewish
families of Damascus.

LETTER FROM PRESIDENT LINGoLN.-The
Troy Press prints the following letter, not
heretofore published, from President Lincoln
to the parents of Col. Ellsworth. The letter
bears Mr.. Lincoln's frank, and is post-marked
"Washington, May 27, 1861"
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 25, 1861.
To the Father and Mother of Col. Elmer
E. Eilsworth-My Dear Sir and Madam: In
the untimely loss of your noble son, our aff1ic-
ton here is scarcely less than your own. Sc
much OF promised usefulness to ones country
and of bright hopes for ones self and friends
have never been so suddenly dashed as in hi!
fall. In size, in years, and in youthful ap
pearance boy only, his power to command
men was surprisingly great. This power
combined with a fine intellect and indomita-
bic energy, and taste altogether military
constituted in him, as seemed to me, the best
natural talent in that department l ever knew
And yet he was singularly modest and defer
ential in social intercourse. My acquaintance
with him began less than two years ago; yet
through the latter half of the intervening pc
riod, it was as intense as the disparity of our
ages, and my engrossing engagements, would
permit. To me he appeared to have no in
dulgences or pastimes, and never heard him
utter . profane or an Incorporate word
What was conclusive of his good heart, he
never forgot his parents. The honors he Ia
bored for so laudably, and, in the sad end Sc
gallantly gave his life, he meant for them nc
less than for himself.
In the hope that it may be no intrusion up.
on the sacredness of your sorrow,I have
ventured to address you this tribute to the
memory of my young friend your brave and
early fallen son.
May Ged give you the consolation which is
beyond all earthly power. Sincerely yoli
| friend in q common affiction.

A LONDON Foe ON LORD MAYORS DAY.
-Fogs in November are looked for as mat
ter Of course in the metropolis, but since the
beginning of the month there has, this year,
been more than the average proportion.
Hardly morning has passed without fog,
and once or twice it has been intense. Yes
terday morning, however, fog descended on
the city which could not be exceeded in
density, as for several hours, and, indeed, up
to about one o'clock. perfect Egyptian dark
ness shrouded the metropolis and immediate
vicinity. The town was, in fact, considerably
darker than it is at nighttime, for although
all the shops, &C., were fully illuminated as
at nighttime, the thick black vapour reduced
the area of illumination to the narrowest linn
its, and rendered lights completely invisible
at the distance of few feet. No small alarm
was created by the coincidence of this dense
fog with the Lord Mayors day, and many
were the anticipatiops of an increase, in ex-
tent and intensity, of the rufianism usually
manifested ON such occasions. 1t was also
feared that the new route of the show along
the embankment would afford additional ia
cities to the roughs and rogues to carry on
their operations with boldness and confidence.
The apparent tendency of the fog to clear up
about one o'clock proved to be delusion.
There was only slight momentary break in
the mass of vapor, and in half an hour the fog
closed up as densely as ever, and more than
midnight darkness resumed its sway. There
has certainly not been so intense fog expe-
rienced in the metropolis for some years.
Street traffic to great extent and the ordina.
ry river traffic altogether was suspended.
Several accidents to small boats occurred on
the river, and the drowning OF some four or
five persons is reported. AS soon as the fog
got thick the authorities closed the gates OF
the British Museum, and no person was sd-
mitted after 1880 A. NJ. A large concourse
OF peop.e soon assembled. Amongst them
were three or four "youDg ladies' schools
from Clapham, Kensington, and elsewhere.
The scene was very unusual. Blue stockings,
costeTmongers, artists. journalists, and schol-
ars all higgledy-piggledy. The filtration was
fast and furious.

COOPERATIVE House BUMDING.-They

the French buildings and are intended for the
working classes. But the same plan can be
most advantageously carried out on cheap

cost could not begin to pay for otherwise.
This kind of building is six stories high, per-
fectly fire-proof, has all the conveniences Of
city life, etc. The dimensions are 400 by 600
feet. Steam elevators for passengers and
freight are provided. On the root is a beauti-

kitchen, where all kinds OF food are cooked
and sold to all in the honse at cost prices, in
which is gain in the quality of both the food
and the manner of cooking, and the COST

street runs through the centre of the house.
