for thousand years have carried the ban
ncr of the Gospel, many Of whom are
now bearing the palm Of martyrdom. ln-
tercsting beyond expression was that hour
of worship and of recollection, as | sat
with the representatives of the noble ar
my of martyrs and enjoyed the privileges
which their fidelity to the truth aided in
preserving for us as well as for their own
descendants. And deeply interesting now
are the rccollections Of the days that |
spent among those valleys and mountains.
1t was there met for the first time the
devoted servant Of God so long the head
of the Waldenses, the now sainted Revel,
whose memory will be precious through
out the Church and through all time
have alluded to the facts connected
with the history of this interesting peo-
pie, for the purpose of presenting by con-
trast the bright side OF their picture. If
"the slaughtered saints, whose bones lie
scattered on the Alpine mountains cold,"
have not been literally avenged, more
desirable retribution has come upon their
enemies in the freedom they now enjoy,
not only to worship God, but to preach
the Gospel of the Son of God, as it were,
in the very ears of the Pope. When, in
1860, the Duchies of Italy declared in
favor of Victor Emanuel, the Weaknesses,
already admitted fully to the rights Of
citizenship, became the eVangeists of the
kingdom. Churches were planted at va
rious points, and theological school with
DR.. Revel at the head, was established
at Florence, to train up native Italians
to 90 out into all the land bearing the
standard of the Cross And now that
Rome has become the capital of united
Italy, and the reign Of Emmanuel, the
Prince of Peace, God with us, is driving
out the long established tyranny of the
prosecutors of the saints, the Waldensian
evangelists are preaching the Gospel In
the city OF Caesars and the Popes, under
the very shadow of the Vatican This is
all the retribution we desire We rejoice
that the Pope has lived to see this day
May he and all his cardinals and follow
ers of every grade, learn to know and tc
prize that pure Gospel which the children
Of persecution are proclaiming within the
walls Of Rome.

Our SUN.--Prof. Young Of Dartmouth

Our SUN.--Prof Young Of Dartmouth
college records an explosion occurring Mt
long since on the surface Of the
sun, which sent portions Of matter to
a height of at least 100000 miles. With
regard to the distance of the sun from
the earth, it is now fixed at between al,-
100000 and 92,000,000 of miles. with a
margin of uncertainty consisting Of about
100000 miles, which will be settled
probably by future observations, 1t will
be seen therefore, that the astronomers
have cut off between three and four mil
lions of the distance which most of us
used to accept in our school-boy days.
However, they probably think they have
left sufficient now, for Prof Young says
that if our Puritan fathers had set out
from the sun at the same time they did
from England, and had travelled uniuter-
ruptedly by rail or otherwise at the rate
OF forty miles an hour, they would be due
here in 1888. Again, if sound thorough
out the solar system should have the
same velocity that it has in our atmos.
phere, the noise of an explosion on the
suns surface would be fourteen years in
reaching the earths surface. Gravity be-
comes so increased at the sun that bodies
would weigh twenty-eight times as much
there as here, so that an earthly lady of
one hundred pounds weight would be-
come as unwieldy there as an elephant
The substance of the sun Prof Young re-
CARDS as probably gaseous, though there
Is difference of opinions on that point.
The temperature is enormous, something
like lO,O0000O deg Fahrenheit Her
schel estimated that if rod of ice 45
miles in diameter we're darted into the
sun with the velocity Of light, it would
never reach it. What keeps up this TEN
perature is yet unsolved mystery. There
Is nothing to show any diminution in the
suns heat since human observations be-
gan to be recorded. Following the anal
ogy that pail of water freezing does not
sink below the freezing point until all the
water is frozen, the sun may be undergo.

MAKE A NoTE OF TnIs.-If you have
any purchase to make, don't 60 away to
do it. Encourage home industry and en-
terprise, and give your trade to home
merchants and mechanics, especially to
those who advertise freely. That is the
way to build up q lively business in your
own town, and benefit yourself as well as
others. Every dollar spent in town is
of advantage to the place in general, and
every dollar spent abroad for articles
which could be bought on as favorable
terms at home, is like taking so much
capital out of the business interests of
the place. There are many who buy ev-
erything they can get right here at home /;
ard such are doing good work towards
assisting their own town people-those
with whom they have common interest.

GENEROSITY UNLMITED.-Ge en- Edward
McCook was standing in the Sherman
house, yesterday, talking with friend
when he was accosted by seedy-loeking
individual of woe begone aspect, who ap-
preached and, in voice quiverng with
emotion, inquired: This is Gen McCook,
l believe ?" "Yes. sir" courtecusly repli-
ed the general, Whereupon the man pro
duced dirty cotton handkerchief, and
made an unsuccessful attempt to hide the
tears which swelled up from his heaviug
bosom. AS soon as he could command
his voice he faltered, feelingly: Il was
with you at Memphis, sir. 81 never was
at Memphis" said the general. Ill
meant Manassas" hurriedly rejoined the
emotional veteran. "Ah, yes, Manassas"
returned McCook; "what regiment did
you belong to p The second Illinois bat
terry, sir said the other, with cheerful
alacrity. Just so," was the generals
dry comment, as he pressed fve-dolar
bill into the mans palm, remarking to
his friend as the Second Illinoisian"

try in my command. ."-Chicago Trib-

GREEK BRIGANDAGE.-Seemingly in-
credible stories are told by the correspon.
dent ofa German paper Of the audacity
and success of the Greek brigands. The
writer says that Athens is now almost
blockaded by them. No one dares to 60
a thousand PAGES out of the town without
an escort, and even then the undertaking
is dangerous one, for the brigands are
concealed behind rocks and in bushes, 30
that the whole Of the escort might be
shot down before their hiding places
could be discovered The chief of these
brigands is man named Spanos, who has
been notorious for his daring deeds dur
ing the last thirty years. Half the Greek
army has been in pursuit of him for
months, but he and his band, which con-
sists OF only seven men, are still close to
Athens, and it is even rumored that he
has on several occasions entered the city
with the object of capturing some high
parsonage whom he would afterward
liberate only on the condition of his be-
ing given large ransom and free par
don. The shepherds and the peasants are
obliged, for their own security. 10 warn

The New BRIrIsH ARMy.-The new
government plan for recognizing the
British army makes favorable impres.
sion on the public. By it, the whole
kingdom is cut up into 66 districts, each
having male population of about 200,
600, and each of which is to furnish a
brigade, composed Of a depot battalion,
ready for expansion at any time to full
war battalion, two battalions of the line
engaging alternately in foreign service,
two battalions of militia, and quota Of
volunteers. The result would be, 1873,
649 regulars, l39,OlS militia, 1919
ycomanry cavalry, $4,000 army reserves,
and 172, 1000 volunteers, making a total
force of near 500, 900, and costing for
their yearly maintenance about els, ,000,-
000 Only the regulars would be in con-
slant service and constant pay; the others
would, in fact, be reserves; but all OF
them are to be under one government,
and to have more or less association in
local camps and occasional drills, while
the officers of each will at intervals chang
places.

Reported Insanity Of Horace
Greeley.
Alleged Stealing Of 100000 from
Erie by good Uncle Daniel Drew.

NEW York, Nov pa medical gentleman
stated yesterday that Dr. Brown of the Bloom
ingdale Asylum was applied to early last week
to admit Horace Greeley into that institution
as patient.
A morning paper publishes to-day the story
current in the newspaper circles for nearly q
week that Horace Greeley is insane, and says
he is now an inmate of the Asylum of White
Plains. The same paper makes public an inter-
view with Whitelaw Reid, managing editor of
the Tribune, in which he says, in answer to
questions, that Greeley has been under medical
treatment, and very likely might be considered
by some stark mad but he is simply nervously
Frustrated. For month prior to the death of
his wife he did not sleep one hour night, and
since her death has been in the same condition.
In answer to the question, " Is it true that
Greeley drew knife on one of his frends?'
Reid is made to answer by interviewing, " I tell
You that he Greeley has done nothing which
to those who know him seems strange. He is
always an eccentric man, and at best acts as if
hewas queer, but now nervously Frustrated stran-
gers might think him crazy. l have seen him
positively furious when first proof has been
brought him instead of revise" Reid said
Greeley, notwithstanding the loss Of sleep and
appetite, was in general good health, and made
a request of the reporter to say he was only ncr
vously Frustrated. There was no good in say
ing more; Greeley has had enough to worry him,
and what he needs is quiet and rest.
