Married

At the Rectory of st. James Church, in
Alexandria, La, ON Thursday, the 30th
Of May, 1872, by the Rev. Spruille Bur-
ford, MISS MARY r. PETIT, of War
rem County, Miss, to JOHN NJ. BAR
RETvT, of this place. No cards.
With the above notice refreshments
gratifying to the palate and heart of the
printer were received. The trite and
common place congratulations seem too
cold, too inexpensive to be used on such
an occasion. May God, in His good
providence, bless the marriage of our
friend Johnny and his lovely BRIDE
Married as they have been in the Lord,
we feel confident that He was present
on the occasion, who at the first chris
tian wedding blessed the marriage feast
of Cana with His presence and furnish
ed the guests with the miracle of wine
to make glad their hearts. May He ever
be present with them through life, and
ever furnish them with the pure wine
of joy and celestial happiness.

~The London correspondent of the
New York Herald says:
"Some scholars are just now discuss
ing in the London Times the'formation
of a new word. Evidently a distinc-
tive name is wanted for that kind of
telegram which comes by the cable,
yet all our sensibilities are naturally
shocked by "cablegram." Halieram,
thalassagram, and onagram are propos-
ed. AS the distinctive feature is not
that the massage comes by the cable
or 'cord'-for every telegram comes by
q cord in the same sense-onagram
will doubtless fail, and the choice will
be between haligram and thalassagram
as fixing the point of transit by the sea
Of these haligram, as the shortest and
in sound little related to telegram,
may win, though perhaps the most dis
tipctive sound is a point in favor of
thalassagram."

ness and inestimable services of our
feilow-citizens, who as soldiers and
sailors upheld the flag and maintained
the integrity of the Republic, shall ever
be gratefully remembered aud honora-
bly, requited.
These propositions so ably and forci-
bly, presented in the platform of your
Convention have already fixed tue at
tention and commanded of a large ma.
jority of our countrymen who joyfully
adopt them as do, as the basis of a
true bcnefcent national reconstruction
of new departure from jealous strifes
and hates, which have no longer ade-
quate motive, or even plausible pre-
text into an atmosphere Of peace, fra
ternity and mutual good will. In vain
do the drill sergeants of decaying Or
ganization flourish menacingly their
truncheons and angrily insist that the
files shall be closed and Strengthened.
In vain do the whippers in of parties,
once vital, because rooted in the vital
needs of the hour, protest against
straying and boiling; denounce men
nowise their interiors as traitors and
renegades, and threaten them with in
fanny and ruin. I am confident that
the American people have already
made your cause their own, fully re-
solved that their brave hearts and
strong arms shall bear it on in tri.
umph. In this faith and with the dis
tlnct understanding that if elected
shall be the President, not of q party,
but of the whole people. accept your
nomination, in the confident trust that
the masses of our countrymen North
and South are eager to clasp hands
across the bloody chasm which has too
long divided them, forgetting that they
have been enemies, in the joyful con-
sciousness that they are and must
henceforth remain brethren.
Yours gratefully,
HORACE GREELEY.

Personal APPEARANCE OF JESUS
A correspondent of the Washington
Chronicle writes: "On Sunday last
Rev. DR.. Newman delivered discourse
upon the humanity of Jesus Christ, in
which he stated that nothing had been
handed down to US in regard to His
personal appearance, many different
views being entertained on that subject.
Enclosed you will find a letter written
by Publius Lentults, President of Ju
dea, and sent by him to the Senate OF
Rome, when the fame of Jesus began
to he spread abroad in the world.
These are his words:
"There lives at this tine in Judea a
man of singular virtue, whose name is
Jesus Christ, whom the barbarians
esteem a prophet, but His own fol.
loves adore Him as tho offspring OF
the immortal God. He calls back the
dead from the graves, and heals all
sorts of diseases with word or touch.
He is tall and we'll shaped, of an AMIGA
BILE reverend aspect. 81 e hair of col
or that can hardly be matched, falling
into graceful curls below his ears, part
ed on the crown Of the head, like the
Nazarine. His forehead is smooth and
large; His cheeks without other spot,
save that of a lovely red; His nose and
mouth formed with exquisite symmet-
~; His beard thick and color suitable
to the hair of His head, reaching an
inch below His chin and parting in the
middle like fork; His eyes bright,
clear and serene. He rebukes with
majesty, counsels with mildness; His
whole address, whether in word or deed
being elegant and grave. No man has
seen Him laugh, but He has wept fire.
quently. He is very temperate, modest
and wise; a man, for His excellent
beauty and divine perfection, surpass-
ing the children of men,"

EVANGELIZING
planting the Christian religion in Pal
es'lne reminds one of the old proverb,
carrying Goals to Newcastl," and it
appears to have been until lately at
tended with 10 ubstantial or encourage
ing results. Missionaries have long
been at workEthere under the auspices
OF various Christian denominations,
and at very great expense in proper
1lon to the amount Of work they effec-
lively accomplished. They first tried
their eloquence upon the adult Israe-
lites Samaritans, Moslems and Druses,
with how little effect may be estimat-
cd from late report of Bishop Cobalt,
upon the results of missionary work in
Palestine during the last twenty-five
years. At the beginning of that time,
when the present "London Society for
Promoting Christianity" was establish.
ed, all previous missionary societies
had abandoned the field, and there was
found only one native Protestant in all
Palestine. This shows that the work
of all former missionaries did not stick,
granting that they made any converts
at all. This was the sum total of the
work of American missionaries. The
English who came after them appear to
have been more successful. They went
to work in different manner, and
instead Of preaching to the grown peo-
pie they established schools for chill
dren. These show progress in num-
bers, and give some hope of permanent
success. The first Christian school
was established in 1s47 with nine chill
dren, and according to the report
above referred to, there are now in
Jerusalem five schools attended by 400
children of both sexes, and in all Pal
estine 25 schools, in which about 1000
children are taught. Besides these,
orphan asylums have been opened for
200 children. 1t is supposed from pre-
sent appearances that all these will
grow up to be exemplary Christian
men and women, but the influence of
their education upon after life remains
to be tested. The plan is to make the
childen educate the parents, and it is
asserted that the influence of the for
mer upon the latter has so far proved
quite beneficial.-[Mo. Republican.
