delighted seamen the noble prize they
had captured, and the commander of the
Sumpter was highly elated with the
success that had crowned his officers
efforts. His share in the priZe-money
would amount to no insignificant sum;
and when he appointed Capers prize
master, with instructions to take the
Esmeralda to New York, he enjoined
upon the young officer to be careful in.

salute the two vessels parted company.
Before noon the Sumpter was out of
sight, and Capers trod the deck of the
schooner, monarch of all he surveyed.
"The slaver's crew he ecaused to be kept
in close confinement in the hold, and as
the unfortunate negroes had been re-
moved to the man-ot-war, preparatory to
being released, they did not suffer for

Capers, was allowed his full. unre-

"Capers was successful in navigating

THE Herald and Presbyter Of this city
praises highly the new Tabernacle late
ly completed in Chicago for Mr.. Moody
at a cost of $4,000, and commends it to
the notice OF building committees who
have erected "debtors' prisons" at a cost
ranging from 100000 to $1,000, 900. The
sdifce in question is declared to be
Rcoustically perfect, thoroughly lighted
and ventilated, seating eight thousand
persons and possessing standing room
for two thousand more, with the added
virtue of being provided with means Of
exit capable of emptying it at the rate

THE extreme cheerfulness Of looking
over delayed political exchanges for a
few days after election can not exactly
be likened to funeral, but it can with
out great stretch OF imagination be
compared to funny incident at fu-

editors to voters who disregarded the
solemn injunction and voted for some.

from other States, which the telegraph
has shown TO have been all false-the
confident predictions as to results which
subsequent events have contradicted In
t0to,-all these, be it observed, are ex-
ceedingly pleasant and profitable read
ing, and show, moreover, the vanity Of
human wishes and wisdom about as ef-
iectively as funeral does, and to de.
feated candidates must seem about as
lugubrious.

AT a Church of England Congress
which opened on the 3d of October in
the GuiIdhall OF Plymouth, an address
was made by Lieut.. Cameron, whose
exploits in Central Africa have made
him famous. He alleges that the slave
trade is now about as active in Africa
as when slaves were openly transported
across the Atlantic, and that he has
himself seen fifteen hundred slaves in a
single caravan, who were being driven
ike cattle to market.

The Public Health Congress convened
at Brussels by the King of Belgium
closed its sessions in that city on the
tth of October. Among the views ad-
vanced by the distinguished philoso-
piers who participated in the discus
sions was this: "That if the condition of
the people was improved they would
drink less" Possibly-and the sugges-
tion is made as only possibility--if the
people would eat more their condition
might undergo the desired improvement
forthwith.
