DIR. j. r. Newman.

The following is copied from a leading
journal of the Baptist denomination:
DR.. Newman, late of the Metropolitan
Church in Washington, and now chaplain
of the United States Senate, ought to be
elected to some of the prominent positions
now in the gift Of his church There is not
pulpit orator among bis people who can
equal him. A few Sundays since he preached
in Methodist Episcopal church in Brook
lyn, upon the Harmony and Science of Re-
ligiOD." The minor report in the New York
Herald failed to do more than shadow of
justice to the profound thought, evolved
from extensive reading aud observation,
with which it was replete.
The brilliant position he has held for the
last few years at the capital has not in
creased his popularity among those who
never can attain such distinction. Not be-
ing so good q churchman as a statesman,
not so good an eXhOrter as an orator. and
having no manner Of taste for wire-pulling
in cliques and cOnventicles, he must stand
by and see others receive what none could
honor better than himself. Time. however,
settles most things on a scale quite out of
reach of envy. There is-nO Disgusting the
fact patent to all observers, that certain
secret societies have acquired power suffi-
cient to have events interpret their own
designs. The Methodist Episcopal Church
is greatly in the influence Of these organi-
cations,

We are panied to learn from q gentleman
who reached here on the last mail coach
from Eagle Pass, that Mr. Hanson Burbank,
inspector of customs at that port, was shot,
and, as near as could be learned, fatally
wounded, just before the coach left Eagle
Pass for this city. Neither the driver nor
any of the passengers had time to learn the
particulars, further than that he was en-
deavoring to seize goods which some Me&i-
cans were attempting to smuggle into Mexi-
co, and was ehOt by one of their number
through the body, from which wound, it
was currently, stated; he could not recover.

that is not agreeable to those who think

How Circus Performers are Paid
In England.

Circus performers in England begin
their training very early, being usually
apprenticed to the work at about the
age Of seven oreight. Mr. John Sanger
has tiny mannikino of a son now riding
at Astley's, in an act called the " Morn
ing Star" who is not yet year and
eight monthsold. q The little chap rode
before he could walk. The {" artists of
the circus find their professions remark
ably healthy, and they are a long lived
race. Joe Wallet, the famous circus
clown in London, is considerably. over
seventy, and is as lively and active as
he was forty years ago. Old Orde, whose
outdoor ring is still visible on many
village green, and who was the instructor
Of Batty (says the Lonaon Daily. Newsl
lived TO considerably over ninety, and a
short time before his death he was
jumping over a tobacco pipe and an
open razor ON his s. bare-backed steed.
Batty was Courier of st. Petersburg"
till he was past sixty. Franks, who is
now .tumbling somersaults and posturing
at Hengler' 5, is considerably over sixty,
and as fresh as daisy, as any one may
see by visiting the circus In Argyle
street. Horse riding is by no means
an unremunerative profession. Gene
raj utility" men get from FIVE to ten
pounds a week; clever men, without any
claim to rank as stars, run up to near
twenty pounds; and star of magnitude
comes down on the treasury to the tune
of fifty pounds week. Robinson, the
great somersault rider, had sixty pounds
a week all the year round. Amandors,
the American star, had full half Of
Cookies gross receipts at Vauxhan,
averaging over sixty pounds week.

Naulvi Mohammed salimnz-yamau,

Naulvi Mohammed Salimnz-yaman,
the famous astronomer Of Bampur,
whose deductions have generally turned
out right, has foretold that in the COM
ing year blaze of light resembling a
shooting-star, the light of which no NOR
tai has yet seen, will be visible in the
sky. 1t will dazzle the eyes of the peo-
pie of particular places with luSter, and
after remaining for twenty-four hours,
will vanish. The direction in which it
will make its appearance will be the
north pole, and accordingly the people
of northern countries will see it dis
tinctly. Probably the natives of China
and Persia will likewise have q sight OF
it. The effect of this meteor will be that
the extent of country over which the
light will fall will be visited by famine
during the year, and large number Of
TIE people inhabiting it will be destroyed
while. vegetation will also be scanty.

General Rossel's lately published
writings afford a detailed explanation
of his abandonment of the Commune,
which constitutes stirring Indictment
of that body We extract q single
paragraph:
Z" i served the revolution faithfully,
bhndly, till the day when experience
had convinced me Of the vanity of the
hopes / had founded on this venture.
The Commune had no statesmen, nc
soldiers, and did not wish to have any.
1t accumulated ruins on itself, without
having either the power or the desire Of
creating anything afresh. Opposed to
publicity because it was conscious of its
folly, opposed to liberty because it ex.
listed in an unstable equilibrium from
which the slightest move was bound to
make it fall, this oligarchy was the most
odious despotism that can be imagined.
Possessing only one idea Of government,
which consisted in keeping the people
in its pay, it squandered by, its expendi.
ture the savings of the democracy, and
ruined the hopes of the latter by causing
the people to lose the habit of working.
When | saw that this evil was beyond
remedy--that every effort, every sacri-
fee, was barren-7my role came to an
end. 7f A~
