The second advent excitement that

IDENTIFY expect the immediate end of all
things, and make arrangements and sac
riiices accordingly, when it takes posses
sion of uneducated negroes in the ex-
treme South is dignitied with the title OF
Eoudooism-at least, such would seem
to be the case with an instance of the
sort in the interior of Texas, about the
middle of last month. There was an old
NEGRO woman called "Janc," "for short"
announced to the negroes rear Spring
field, Limestone Co, that the millennium
would take place, and that the "mighty
ship of Zion" would come down to take
up TO glory these who complied with her
| directions or the 26th of May. In ac-
cordance with her Instructions, preached
TO n large congregation, the believers
burnt one-half of their worldly posses
sions in big bonfire, hoed up by the
roots and destroyed half their growing
crops (corn and cotton), gave away halt
their children, sc They then disrobed
entirely aud danced ''holy dance" AT.
terward they did one sensible thing
they killed all their dogs. Jane then
proposed, it is said, that they should eat
the dog meat; but they hesitated, and
she did not succeed very well in that at
tempt herself Finally she proceeded to
measures with a view to sacrificing her
own child, an infant. At this point the
proceedings were interrupted by those
who lacked faith in her ministry, and
Jane was arrested and restrained from
further preaching. Their neighbors are
! helping the unfortunate converts to re-
plant their ruined fields and make up so
lar as possible, their losses.

A CLERICAL CoRPSE.-Ths following
will be found in HulPer'S Drawer for
June:
In one of those fat places in Ohio, the
pastor OF the -- Church concluded
to accept call to another field of labor,
and resigned his pastorate. Deacon l..
was very sorry to lose his good shep-
herd, but with an eye to the spiritual III
terests of the Church, began with Others
to cast about tor a successor. An cligl-
BILE man having been found, he paid a
visit to the city, and while there the dea-
con was anxious that he should have an
opportunity of exhibiting bis powers to
the congregation. But there was this
difficulty in the way: The late pastors
resignation was set for several weeks III
the future, and he was still occupying
the pulpit. The Deacon having doubts
as to the delicacy and proprlety OF thrust,
inc n new candidate in before the old
one had taken his departure, took the
only proper course--went directly TO the
pastor and stated the case.
"Well, don't know about this" said
the latter. 81 don't like it. It's toe
much like getting on with the new love
before You're off with the old It's not
usual for man to commence counting q
new wife before his old one is buried, ls

"No," replied the Deacon, 81 don
know as It's; and it amt Uery usual lcl

Mistakes of a Might.

An amusing incident is related rs oc-
curing in Goldsmith's last journey
homeward from Edgeworthstown. His
fathers house was about twenty miles
distant; the road lay through rough
country, impossible for carriages. Gold
smith procured Il horse for the journey,
and friend furnished him with a guinea
for travelling expenses. He was but a
stripping Of sixteen, and, being thus sud
denly mounted on horseback with money
in his pocket, it is no wonder that his
head was turned. He determined to play
the man and spend his money in indepen'
dent tray clcr's style. Accordingly, in
stead of pushing directly for home, he
halted for the night ut the little town OF
Ardagh, and accoSting the first person he
met, inquired, with somewhat of con-
sequential air, for the best house in the
place Unluckily, the person he had ac-
costed was one Kelly, notorious wae,
who was quartered in the family of one
Mr.. Featherstone, gentleman of Tor
tune Amused with the sel!-consequencc
Of the STRIPPING, and willing TO play of
a practical joke at his expense, he direct
ell him to what was literally ''thc best
house III the place"-namcly, the family
mansion ofMr. Featherstone. Goldsmith
accordingly rode upto what he supposed
to be an inn, ordered his horse TO be ta
ken to the stable. walked into the parOr
seated himself by the fire, and demanded
what he could have for supper. On or
diuarv occasions he was ditfdcnt anC
.ven awkward in his manners; but herr
he was "at ease in his inn," and he tel
calle,1 upon to show his manhood anC
enact tie experienced traveller. His per
son was Uv 10 means calculated to play
off his etertions, for he was short anC
thick, with pcck-marked face and al
air and carriage Of 10y no means dis
tinpuished cast. The owner of the house
however, soon discovered his whimsical
mistake, and being a man Of humor, de
termined to indulge it, especially as h'
accidentally learned that his ntrudn:
guest was the son Of an old ac2ualnI
ancc.
Accordingly Goldsmith was ''fooled Il
the top of his bent" and permitted Il
have full sway throughout the evening
| Never was school-boy more clited.-
When supper was served, he most con
descendngly insisted that the landlord
his wife and daughter, should partake
and ordered bottle of wine to crown
the repast and benefit the house. Hi
last flourish was on going to bed, whel
he gave especial orders o have hot cak'
at breakfast. His confusion and disma!
on discovering the next morning that ht
had been staggering in his trec-and-ea
sy way in the house of private gen
tleman, may be readily conceived. Tru
to his habit Of turning the events OF hi
life TO literary account, we find this chap
ter of ludicrous blunders and cross-pur
poses dramatized many years atterward
in is admirable comedy of "She stoop
to conquer, or the mistakes OF night.

INTERESTING DEBATE ON INPALLIBrLrrY N
The ECUMENICAL COUNCIL.-On Friday, upon
the demand of 150 fathers in the Ecumenica
Council, the end of the discusssOn on the schema
of pTimature and infallbility was pronounced.
The discussion Of the chambers will commence
on Monday. The ultramOntanists deny the
report that il is their intention to withdraw
from the Ecumenical Council after the procla
nation OF the infallibility dogma. The deb lte
OF Friday was of absorbing interest That able
and determined opponent of ultramontanism in
every shape, Monslgneur Dayboy, the Archbish-
OF Of Paris, obtained the floor. He proceeded
10 make strong and vigorous protest To
the Council against the opportunity of the
declaration. He declared the introduction of
the question Of infallibiity as violent and irreg
ular, and severely characterized its champions
for thus springing their scheme upon the Coun-
Gil. He asked them as an earnest lifelong
fiiend OF the Church II the opinions and dec
rAtiOns OF the bishops and the episcopacy were
to count for anything In the definitions OF the
fsi b. or whether they were to be ruthlessly
oTerridden. Cardinal Manning, the Archbishop
OF Westminster, denied the assertion Of the pre-
maturity OF the introduction OF the dogma. He
declared that the definition was opportune, and
found sufficient indication in the argument tha t
IL was necessary for the interests OF the Church
