for the Greeks Have we not. the Greeks at
our door," was the inquiry of the famous
John Randolph, in Congress, in reference to
bill for the relief of the then struggling people
of Greece. So we may say to our spiritual
guides and instructors of every sect and creed
they have the Greeks at their doors. And
what field of labor is here before them, in
the reformation of the vicious, and in the
relief Of the destitute and the suffering, and
in devising ways and means for carrying into

Paris said, ''Now you may praise since we are

the opera; she is still further humiliated by

Copy OF tho Herald In Mid-Ocean.
We published few days ago brief notice
of remarkable incident in the late voyage of
the steamer Arndt, in which she lost her
screw and came into New York under
sail, having, while yet five hundred miles
from this port, received from the Vile du
Havre a copy of New York paper containing
the ''Weather Probabilities of the 9th inst,
and found them of great utility. We are now
enabled to give the interesting account of
this incident from the pen Of the commander
of the Arndt (Which will be found in another
column), from which it appears that mete-
geological predictions which he found SO
correct and useful to him were in o copy Of
the HERALD of the 9th Of August. Captain
Felberg's experience conclusively shows that
the distribution Of the weather bulletins for
out at sea is not only possible, but might be
made easy in practice, and that if arrangements
could be made by which outgoing vessels
might signal incoming ships splendid ser
vice would be rendered the latter. Tho
HERALD, in recently commenting on the in
cident above alluded to, presented o plan by
which this most valuable service might be ar
ranged for, and the suggestion has been
trongly endorsed by our judicious contem-
porary, the Baltimore Sun.
Ifthe forecasts of wind and weather could be
made available by q disabled steamer, five
hundred miles from New York, and have been
found almost true to the letter, it seems per-
fectly clear that the proposed arrangement is
feasible. Captain Felberg received the ''Prob-
abilities" of the 9th inst, but those Of the
10th were even, if possible, more literally
fulfilled in his experience from the 10th to
the close Of his voyage, q period covering
three days.

Editor Rutland Globe Daring the
past year there has been quite an i'm.
broglio between Rev. w. W. Atwater,
Secretary Of the Vermont State Temper.
ance Society, and Rev. l.. II. Stone,
former State Agent. 1t is charged by
Mr.. Atwater and others that Mr.. Stone,
taking advantage Of his former agency
aud acquaintance among the temperance
people Of the state, has continued to lec-
ture and take collections and solicit in
dividual subscriptions for his own personal
6eneH; while many persons who have
contributed claim to have done so sup
posing the money was for the state
society.
Mr.. Stone denies that he has in any
instance, since last December, represent
ed that he was agent OF the state So
ciety.
By some parties it is charged, not that
he has .directlg claimed to be the State
Agent, but that he has taken course
that has misled many to think that he was
collecting money for the state society.
That in some cases he has exhibited the
subscription books used while he was
agent, and told parties that they paid SO
much last year and he expected they would
give the same this year,etc., etc. Aud that
to others he has said, the money was to
be used for the temperance cause in YER
mont. to pay for lectures, tracts, temper
ance literature, and to enforce the pro-
hibtory law etc, and that i: would make
no difference whether they paid it to him
or to the agent.
Now if these various charges are true,
proof should at once be produced and
Mr.. Stone receive the full condemnation
he deserves. Ii they are not true, he is
very much abused man, and those who
have made the charges should at once re-
call them, and forever hold their peace.
No one will claim but that Mr.. Stone
has perfect right TO travel over the
state aud preach aud lecture upon tenn
perance, politics or any other subject,
and take whatever the people choose to
give him for his services but if he has
taken money from any person who in
Iended it for the Vermont State Temper
once Society, aud converted it to his or''
use, he has been the means Of deception
and should at once refund or pay the
same into the treasury OF the society. II
there are any such cases let the parties
make it known to me or to he secretary
of the state society, Rev. w. w. Atwat.
