THE EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE.

The conference of the Evangelical AL
lance divided itself into three sections
yesterday, discussing in all various
phases of the Catholic Question, in
terpreted for the most part as ques-
ton of an undying conflict between
Evangelical Christianity so-called and
tho Mother church so called. Two
speakers especially devoted their papers
to showing of what leayen of good had
existed or might still exist in the Roman
church--Dr. Storrs to demonstrate how
evil had cast out good, and DIR. Hitch
cock to bespeak wider charity among
the orthodox for system upon which
evils had grown, but whose further de-
velopment for evil or for good God alone
could foresee and alone might Judge.
According to the programme the after
noon and evening were to be devoted to
ride to Brooklyn and to various exer-
cises in that city. But the evangelical
spirit overfowed into three extra pro-
gramme sermons-two in the afternoon
and one in the evening. To-day there
are three sections--two sitting in the
morning and one in the evening. Some
OF the foreign delegate will visit Wards
and Blackwell's Islands as guests Of the

AUTUMN AT LAST

The vacillating weather seems at lsst
to have made an attempt to act as all ra-
tional people have long expected it to
act, and now has shown marked inclina-
ton to settle down at last as fall. The
changes which have of late interrupted
the tranquil rise and fall of the mercury
have found their analogue in the feel
ings and actions of men. 1t is impos-
sible to keep an equable temper in an
inequable temperature, and naturally so
since one has always to be resorting to
some expedient to keep the body at its
normal ninety-eight in or out OF the
shade. The clothing which was too
thin for yesterday is too thick and warm
for to-day, and there is no health in us
save that which is placed there by iu-
dicious regulation of clothes, food, and
drink. But if the weather keeps its
promise of going on steadily as it has
begun, all we shall have to do is to lay
precautions aside, dress warmly and pre-
pare for winter through the graduated
scale of rapidly accelerating autumnal
temperature. The fall has been rather
tardy in its coming, and not yet are all
the mosquitoes dead, but they are list
less and evidently have lost their sum
mer eagerness for human gore it is
easy to kill them their buzz is desti-
tute of any sort of chronological vigor,

COL. DRAKt's kaRESr

If not most cowardly, the manner of
Col. brakes arrest in New York was
one OF the most ineffably mean things
for which New York could be held ro-
sponsible. The firm at whose instance
it was done have secured full share OF
the benefits of gratuitous Advertising
benefits which under ordinary circum-
stances, would fully idemnify them for
the unliquidated balance of the Col
onels little bill. But it is doubtful
whether the advantages will not work
the other way. No reason, plausible or
otherwise, has been suggested to justify
them in doing what they did, and being
half and half newspaper men, they
should have considered whether there
are not among their customers some
who will resent the insult us if offered
to themselves and carry their favors to
firms possessing % more delicate sense
of the decencies. No one will object to
their right to get their money. No one
can defend the indecent way in which
they set about to get it.

A SINGULAR CUSTOM.

IN conyerSlng with gentleman few
days ago, who had been travelling in
Central America, he made, to rae,
statement in reference TO the mode of
burying the dead in Panama, which ap-
peared to me a singular way of disposing
of ones dead friends, and is great
contrast between their regard fer their
departed relatives and the sacredness
with which we bury our friends in this
country, where there is so much ex-
pended in purchasing and Identifying
our cemeteries and erecting to their
memories such costly stones and monu-
ments. He states that, in Panama.
they devote few acres Of land for large
brick vaults, built very much like a
large rick-kiln, with arched hues, say
three fues, one above the other, wide
enough, and high enough to admit two,
or three boxes aside each other, and
the same number, one above the other,
forming three rows on each side of the
structure, and as persons die, the box
containing the body is slid az far back
as the depth Of the archway will allow,
and when the rear space is filled, they
put row of brick in front Of the box
and cement it mp, air tight, and then
slide another set of boxes back to that
brick work, and so Oh, until the whole
vaults are filled, and when the whole OF
the'arches are thus filed up, they enter
the structure by a gangway lett in one
side of it for that purpose, and which
leads to an open space in its centre,
from which there is n chimney OK
tending from it to the same distance
above.
They then commence to disinter the
bodies, and lay them on heap of WOOD
and brush, and when they get sufli-
cient number on Said wood, they set it
on fire, and burn them to ashes, and as
they burn, the smoke and scent passes
out at the top of the chimney, above
the atmosphere thatis inhaled by the
living. This work is continued until
the vaults are entirely emptied of their
sacred contents, when the structure is
again ready for the reception of another
succession of burials. Thus genera.
ton after generation occupies the same
graves and in their turn arc converted
to ashes in the same manner and place.
He says that he saw the ashes where
these bodies were burned, and that
there waa mingled with these ashes,
parts of bones, teeth and skulls, whicl
made horrible sight to look upon
This attention to the dead of their owl
religion and country, is not extended t.
strangers who may die there. Sucl
are buried, in what they CALL heather
manner, by placing them in gravel
dug in the Garth, as in this country
This mode differs somewhat from tht
Egyptian, who in olden times cmbalm
ed their dead to preserve thei
forms, and are found in large mum
bers there, and, Mark Twain saws
"are useful as fuel for producing steam
to drive locomotives and trains of car
on railways in Egypt" in.

POSTAL CARDS WITH GERMANY.

Some time ago the post office depart
ment invited the postal authorities OF
England and Germany to open negotia-
tions with this country for the inter-
change of postal cards on the basis of a
two cent rate. England declined the
proposition, but negotiations are now in
progress with the German postal union,
including Austria, and there is every
probability that they will be brought to
a successful issue by LIST of next Decem-
Der. The draft of an additional postal
convention for this purpose is now being
prepared by Mr.. Blackfan, superintend-
ent of the foreign mails, and will he
forwardel in few days for the sigma.
ture of the German authorities.

REAL ESTATE is held firmer. Small

in investing in worthless railroad bonds,

for two hundred thousand dollars, which
is big price for eight lots of land at

she had no patience at all, and got vi

carsfulnsss in Old Age.

An old man is like an old wagon
with light loading and careful usage it
will last for years; but one heavy load
or sudden strain will brake it and ruin
it forever. So many people reach the
age of fifty or sixty, or even seventy,
measurably free from most of pains
and infrmities of old age, cherry in
heart and sound in health, ripe in wis
dom and experience, with sympa-
thies mellowed by age, with reasona
BILE prospects and opportunities for
continued usefulness in the world for a
considerable time. Let such persons be
thankful, but let them also be careful.
An old constitution is like and old
bone broken with ease, and mended
with difficulty. A young tree bends
to the gale an old one snaps and falls
before the blast A single hard lift,
an hour of heating work, an evening
exposure to rain or damp, severe
chile, an excess of food, the unusual
indulgence of an appetite or passion, a
sudden fit of anger, an improper dose
of medicine, any of these, or other
similar things, may cut off a valuable
life in m hour, and leave the fair hopes
of usefulness and enjoyment but a
shapeless wreck.

For Us.

1t is blessed thought that the words
of the Bible were written for us-that
the Spirit of God looked along the
ages and saw that in such an event or
circumstance of life, we should need
just such COUNSEL and help. And then
he inspired pen to write it down.
Not for our good only, but for thousands
who have gone before and who will
come after. No promise is there but
has been proved thousands of times
no warning, butmany have taken it
home.
1t is like good chart, which has
everything ON it that mariner in any
seas may need. Its truths never wear
out. Says one who has been deep
student of it, "The Bible will bear a
thousands readings, and the man who
has gone over it the most fervent and
carefully is the surest of finding new
wonders there"
The venerable Charles Elliot, after
years of close study of the Word, read
through the Old Testament in three
weeks, when in his seventy seventh
year. On his daughters inquiring once
what he was reading he answered, 81
am reading news"
''The old, old story is ever new, !"
said learned theological professor
81 feared that going over the same
parts of Scripture so often. I shall lose
my interest in reading them, but after
more than fifty years of study, it is
my experience that with every class
my interest increases.

FACT Is STRANGER THAN FICTION.

While Hood was composing the

native of Massachusetts, surrounded by
a young family, for whom he was oblig

period up to the present time affords an
episode in the annals of intelligent la

afford another illustration of the old
saying that '.fact is stranger than &c

The Iodoe Lava Bed.

Jesse Applegate, writing to the Port.
land (Oreg0A) Bulletin, gives the fol.
lowing description of the lava bed in
which the hostile Modoc Indians are
now intrenched:
The stronghold of the Modoc In
dams is 'pedregal" of the most ex-
tensive and elaborate description-an
irregular volcanic surface of basslt.
trachyte, &c, more or less broken into
upheavals from below, and cracked and
assured in the process of cooling. 1t
occupies, with but few intervals, nearly
100 square miles. If you can, imagine
a smooth, and, solid sheet of granite.
ten miles square and 500 feet thick,
covering resistless miles of gunpowder,
scattered at irregular intervals under
it; that these mines are exploded sim
ultaneously, rending the whole field
into rectangular masses, from the size
of matchbox to that of a church,
heaping these masses high in some
places, and leaving deep chasms in 9th
ers. Following the explosion, the whole
thing is placed in one of Vulcan's cru
cibles, and heated up to run together,
and then suffered to cool. The rough
ness of the upper surface remains as
the explosion left it, while all below is
honey-combed by the cracks and GREY
ices caused by the cooling of the melt
ed rock. An Indian can, from the top
of one OF these stone pyramids, shoot
man without exposing even so much
as an inch square of himself. He can,
without undue haste, load and shoot a
common muzzle-loading rifle ten times
before man can scramble over the
rocks and chasms between the slain
and the slayer. If at this terrible ex
pense of life, a force dislodges him
from his cover, he has only to drop
into and follow some subterranean pas
sage with which he is familiar to gain
another ambush, from whence it will
cost ten more lives to dislodge him.
