NATIONS AS REPRESENTATIVES OF RACES
Ine Russian empire to-day represents the
Soiavonic race, and to an understanding OF the
state OF ideas smong the Russian people our
efforts should be mainly addressed. In every
race some one nation takes the lead, and be-
comes ITS representative iOr n time. In the ear.
ller stages of ancient history the Greeks typi-
fed our Helleuo-Latin race. and in its second
stage the Romans In modern history, frsm
the end Of the fifteenth to the end OF the six
teenth century, the Spanish nation becomes the
representative of the Latin race; and IN the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries tho scep-
tire passes into the hands OF the French, who
have continued to bear it until their recent cal
amities befell them; ard now, perhsps, it il
about to return to the nation that welded it
and led the van in ancient history--to the Ita-
lian people, one and independent, allied with
frussia, m .sters of the great city called home,
and holding monarchical fefdom In the very
sapital OF that vast Spanish empire which
wrought the sun itself among the emolems IN
its crown.
The same thing has occurred with other ma
tions. From its foundation to the Pesce of
Westphalia the Austrian empire represented in
the world the Germanic race. But since the
Peace of Westphalia until our own time the
representative place has belonged to Prussia.
And in the Apelo.Sa1ou race the representa-
tion pertained to England for three centuries,
until. toward the eud Of the last century, the
divine right passed to the young nation which
dominates the New World, and BY its example
summons it to Independence, while with the
light of its institutions it dazzles the Old
World, aud calls it to be free.
And so. to-day, the nation which harasses the
tribes scattered on the banks Of the Danube;
which thrusts itself between the Greeks and
their ancient conquerors. the Turks; which ab' |
sorbs Poland by force; which sustains Bohemia
in the steady recovery Of its old autonomy;
which is at once a standing menace to Soandi- |
navia and to Germany, to the empire of Aus. |

ANECDOTE OF DANIEL WEBsTER.-Evning
sessions were sometimes held as the pressure of
business became more urgent; and sometimes
disorder and confusion prevailed, ~ was always
the case in the House on similar occasions. In
the Senate, however, i, took the shape of exu.
berant festiyity and fun. Grave and aged Sena-
tors became jcose and comical, and sometimes
the mirth grew fast and furious, the proceedings
more resembling a town meeting or farce than
the orderly conduct of delibera,ive assembly.

DAMAGE TO SHIPPIsa.-M Much damage was done
to vessel property in the Chesapeake during the
late storm, but, so far as known, there have been
no lives lost. On the Dorchester shore about a
half dozen small craft, mostly oyster boats, are
wrecked; and in some instances severe suffering,
but no case Of drowning is known.
THEOLOGICAL DIsOUssIoS. Quite a spicy con-
troversy is being carried on by the Editor of the
Cambridge Chronicle and writer in the Demo-
crdt d Nel1s, on the late town religious revival.
As said correspondent is a religious man and a
minister, and said editor is neither, of course
the former has the advantage and the latter is
being routed. Our editors are better exponents
Of Dorchester politics, than of Dorchester theol-
ogy.
LOCAL OPTION Local option has swept over
ehe State. Petitioning, encouraged by our Leg
islature, became a mania we'll nigh. Petitions
were sent to Annapolis which measured scores
of yards. But since they reached our grave
legislators, very little additional has been said
on the subject. Whether our petitions have been
pigeon-holed for safe keeping, or whether they
are receiving merited attentions by lamp light in
caucus meeting we know not; but we have our
misgiyings that they have met the former fate.
RELIGIOUS UNIoN.-As our southern Metho-
dists are still without a pastor, the Methodist
Protestants have offered to unite with them, 80
that, together, they may be able to offer salary
which will command respectable talent and
thereby give assurance Of pastors ministra-
tions without present Interruptions The bait il
being nibbed at, but we don't know whether the
hook will be swallowed.

West Presbyterian Church.

We present above, very accurate engraving
Of West Presbyterian Church. the most recently
erected of our places Of worship, in this City Of
Churches.
1t is located on West street, at the South West
Corner of Eighth. The style of architecture is
Gothic, modified to conform in every way to
the wants of the present day, yet adhering-as
far as circumstances would admlt-to the gem
erAl rule of the adopted style. The building is
sixty-1ve feet front, and one hundred and eight
feet deep, outside measurements with a base
ment story fourteen feet high. The ground
falls toward the rear about six feet which fayors
the basement plan. The basement il entered
from the side street, and also from the rear
while the audience room is approached direct
from the front, with slight terrace, while a
few steps bring us up to a porch-il this are
other steps that rise to the main vestibule of the
audience room thus preserving the effect of
one-story building. This vestibule on the main
floor is 10 feet wide, with two flights of stairs
leading to gallery constructed in the horse
shoe form, and capable of seating 150 persons.
The audience room will seat comfortably $50.
and with the gallery accommodate 1000 in all.
The side walls OF this room are TWENTY-FIVE feet
with gothic ceiling rising to forty-three feet, in
the center. The walls are constructed Of pressed
brick with Ohio stone trimmings. The king
stones are alternate green, serpentine, aud Ohio,
while the buttress caps, ss, belts, cornices, and
plnnhclos are OF lhtler stone, and the base with
all the steps are of Brandywine granite The
windows are of stained glass Of rich design. The
walls and ceilings are all frescoed with the ribs
and corbels slightly illuminated. The audience
room is lighted entirely from side brackets Of
appropriate design. The seates are curved
and together with all the furniture, is walnut,
including the Organ case, which is placed at the
side Of the pulpit.
The pulpit has within it an arrangement by
which the sound is carried through tubes to
such pews as may be desired for the convenience

The CrisIield Case.

CONTRADICTION BY MR. HARVEY JoHNsoN's FRIENDS
Our readers will remember a statement, made
in our columns, some two weeks ago, in regard
to the conduct of certain Harvey johnson, a
Squire" and liquor seller at Crisfeld. The
item is now contradicted in several particulars,
by letter signed ~. Il. Mowbray," and publish
ed in the Princess Anne True HdryLGnder.
This erson says that the colored man was
drunk and disorderly, mot saying who sold him
the whiskey) that he was arrested and brought
before johnson, who fined him for assault and
battery, Tiotous conduct, and contempt of court
the fines being in all $40, and then committed
him to jail in default Of payment. As they had
no jail at Crisheld, the man was then tied hand
and foot, and so was left till next day, when, on
being taken to Princess Anne, he complained Of
the cords and the officer loosened them, without
interference by the passengers. The letter
furth,r denies that the Squire and the Constable
flogged the man, as our item stated.
We know nothing Of the case, more than was
communicated to us by our correspondent, and
we give johnson the benefit of MOwbray's denial,
as a matter of propriety, without knowing how
near it comes to the truth. Mowbray's parade
Of his Shakspearean knowledge leads us to sus-
pect that he may be more poetical than accurate.

lively b ow in Fiorida,

The neighborhood OF Jacksonville, Fla, was
the scene OF fearful tornado a few days ago
1t was first felt at Camp Moony six miles west
of the city, and pursued its destructive course in
an easterly direction. Several houses in its path
were demolished and three or four persons killed
vailed. as the houses rocked to and fro with the
violence of the wind, and many pers; ms vacated
their houses, preferring to brave the vigors of
the storm than to risk being crushed beneath the
falling ruins.
Fortunately, however, the tornado did not pass
directly through the city. The casualties, how
ever, were numerous from falling tiles, chin
nies, etc. From all accounts, the storm was
equal to the hurricanes of the West Indies, and
Jacksonville has had most providential escape.
