Originally propagated in the East the
first germs of religious discomfort were
transported into Central Europe by the
great commercial artery of the Danube,
from the colony of the secretaries in Bull
garia, who had brought with them from
Asia Minor the Manichean tenets in
herited from the Gnostics, and partially
embodying the teaching of Zoroaster.
Principal among these was the belief in
the creation of the material universe by
the evil principle, with which was assooi-
ated the denial of the resurrection and
other dogmas of Christianity.
Such a creed found in the circum-
stances of Europe from the tenth to the
thirteenth centuries an apparent argu-
ment in its favor, and approving it.
self to minds oppressed by the most ter
rible calamities, can not but have ex-
ercised powerful influence on the i'm
agination even of those whose faith it
failed utterly to subvert. For if the ex-
istence of evil, SO palpable to mortal Wis
ion, be at all times stumbling block in
the way of Christian belief, to the poor
and suffering in those dark ages, the
lord of the abyss might well have emed
the supreme ruler of the world.
The miseries that afflicted Europe dur
ing and after the breakup of the Roman
Empire are frightful to contemplate in
their extent and duration. Death, in
his riple form of war, famine and pesti-
lence, was let loose upon humanity, and
reaped harvests of perpetual havoc. The
southern coasts of Europe we're harried
by the Saracen, the northern by the Nor
man pirates, at the same time that the
countries between were devastated by a
Tartar tribe SO terrible that the people of
Italy added special clause to their
litany imploring deliverance from the
arrows of the Hungarians. Those who
escaped these public calamities were the
victims of petty local hostilities, as every
Baron waged war against his neighbor,
and the wretched bondsmen Of the soil
suffered in their lords quarrels.
Agriculture was suspended or discour-
aged amid these turmoils and famines,
which, lasting for years together, so laid
waste the most fertile countries as to
compel the poor to sell themselves for
sustenance, and reduce the free popula-
ton t, voluntary servitude. The plague
was seldom long absent from Europe,
and its ravages, unchecked by medical
skill or sanitary precautions, destroyed at

Hon. ]. n. Arnold, who recently read
paper on Benedict Arnold" before the
Historical Society of New York, and
whose opinions concerning his subject do
not agree with Mr.. Bancroft and others,
writes thus Of the occasion to a friend in
Providence: "Just as was proceeding
to show Blncroft's errors, he walked in
and was received with cheers! Drum
mond looked up, curious to sec what I
would do. Mr.. Bancroft took his seat
ON the stage, and turned to him and
complimented him as the Father of
American History and then went on
to show, by the letters Of Varick and
Livingston, his mistakes, which l was
sure he would not have made if he had
ever read those letters! The audience
evidently enjoyed the scene and applaud
ed repeatedly, and when Isaid, IF Arnold
had died of his wound received at the
moment of victory, neither Mr.. Bancroft
nor any other respectable historian would
have ever denied to him the glory of the
campaign, nor have made the erroneous
assertion that he was not in the field in
the battle of the 10Th of September the
audience applauded heartily and gencr-
ally. And when / concluded, summing
up by declaring that General Arnold was
the hero of that campaign, and that to
him was its success and the surrender of
Burgoyne largely due, they again ap-
plauded. Mr.. Bancroft was kind enough
to say he had listened with great pleas
ure,' but directly one of the officers whis-
pered: He has not heard single word
you have said; the old gentleman is very
deafp ! could only say, 4 wish you had
told me that an hour ago. But all went
off well.n

TOadS in Trees ard stones.
(Chambers' Journal.l

A large toad was found few years
ago in IN old apple tree at Wonham Ma
nor; it came to light when the tree was
blown down. The Memories of the
French Academic des Sciences contains a
description of u living toad found in the
heart of an old elm-tree. Near Nantes,
where an old oak was cleft open, a toad
was found in the verv heart-wood, al
though no crevice or other channel of en-
trance could be detected; there were
about ninety rings in the trunk of this
oak, leading to the inference (according
to one theory that the animal must
have been in his prison-house ninety
years. Mr.. jesse, in reference to a frog
found in the trunk of mulberry-tree,
expressed belief that the annual rings
had been gradually but surely inclosing
the reptile. Toads in clay have been
more frequently met with than in trees;
sometimes a whole family have been fer
reted out at once. In 1856 a toad was
found at considerable depth at Bent
hail, near Brosely, Shropshire. Mr..
Bathurst, earthenware manufacturer at
Bethall, ascertained that the creature was
met with about six feet beneath the sur
face, in a layer of tough clay customari-
ly used for making coarse ware. Above
this layer, in successive strata, were ferru-
ginous coal Of poor quality, clay, loan
of clay and gravel, and meadow-turf at
the top. The toad was found filling a
cavity as wax does a seal. A minute ex-
animation of the superintendent strata
failed to detect any fissure through
which he animal could have entered.
The light of the day seemed at first to
distress ii, but this it soon became accns-
toned to; the eyes were brilliant, the
skin moist, the mouth quite closed.

Don't Irritate 3. Bull.
New York Herald


Our Indian relations were never so
queer as now. They have often been fierce,
savage and bloody, and they may be SO
again in day or two if there should be
collision of the main body of troops un-
der Gen. Miles with the 1000 braves said
to be on our side of the Canada line with
Sitting Bull. They have not often been
ridiculous. yet the anxious instructions
that have been sent from Washington
present them decidedly in that light All
that troubles men at the national capital
is apparently the fear that Gen. Miles will
slsstNrritate" Sitting Bull. He is instructed
:*6rgently on that point. He must be as
mild as faxseed tea or toast water, or any
other smooth fluid, and never give offence
even by wink out Of the corner of his
eye to the terrible savage. Yet Sitting
Bull, if he is on our soil, is an invader in
arms. He is not merely an Indian off his
reservation to be forced to return as the
Cheyennes were; but he is q savage who,
with his followers, has renOunced all re-
lations with our government and quit the
country, and whose return with arms in
hand is an act of war. His bands are
hunting, numbering and burning between
the Missouri river and the line; and while
they are making the country desert with
riAe and torch together, Gen. Miles, with
the troops, is to stand stilh and not irr,.
tate the mighty medicine man. If the
people in Washington will atop that sort
of twaddle and see that Miles has what
troops are within his reach in that part of
the world they may safely leave this big
Indian in his hands.

Yeste rday morning the eastern editorial
party in special car arrived at Bismarck.
They were piloted by Supt. n. A. Towne

manager ofthe party was C. G. Coffin,

and were then driven out to DR.. Porter's
farm and to Col. Thompson's, and back
to the Stark farm. With the appearance
of the country and the character of the
crops they were more than delighted

familiar in a general way with this coun-
try, their surprise was even more noticea-

It was simply wonderful. On Thursday
the party were at Fargo and Dalrymple's
farm. At the farm they saw twenty self
binders moving in one column, presenting
one of the prettiest sights ever seen in a
wheat-field. EDalrymple had ninety reap
ers at work la all his fields, and several
threshers IN his barley. While the big
farms excited their curiosity, and the
beautiful valley their admiration, the up

THE EXTENSION.

Work on the Missouri division of the

In about two weeks regular trains will
be running to the Coal Banks, twenty-six
miles west. At this point is situated the
famous fort and claim Of Dennis Hannifn,
ofthis city; also the crossing of the Keogh
stage line, and the headquarters of several
of the contractors. There are about one
hundred and fifty tents pitched, thirteen
of them being used for saloons. There
are two or three supply stores, black
smith shop and an opera house (perform-
ances every evening". Last Sunday there
were sixteen fights The coal bank prop

transportation. From this point west the
line is covered with squads Of graders

which are liable to occur on low valley

scattered, making washout almost i'm
possible. Besides this substantial bridges
are being built across the numerous creeks

the following
HARD.HEADED SENSE ON THE POLICY oP

On this question of rider on appro-
priation bills wish TO be explicit.
do not charge that putting extraneous
and irrelevant provisions on appropri-
alton bills is revolutionary. 1t is. not I;
and such an assertion is preposterous.
1t is not unconstitutional, nor does it
contravene any rule of either house of
Congress. And if that which Is vicious
can be justified by precedent this prac.
tice has been abundantly justified by
the action Of oil parties from soon after
the foundation of the Government.
Especially have oil parties found it
convenient TO resort 10 1t when parti-
san leaders believed, as the leaders Of
both parties now seem TO believe, that
1t was necessary to inname the popu-
lar passions, and whenever private
greed has demanded the enactment

be advocated upon their own merits
as separate acts or provisions of law.
