THE LAOS MISSION is one in which much
interest is felt. Christians are induced to
believe that wide and promising field is
here open for the spread ofthe gospel. The
quiet disposition of the people and their
regard for right, their considerate and
thoughtful character and their kindness,
hospitality and good feeling generally
toward strangers all show them to beabove
the common standard of barbarian eharae-
ter, and such as would be ready for en-
bracing the offers of revealed truth. The
reader viii find on the first page of this
number well written article descriptive Of
the people and their manners and habits of
life, which viii well repay the perusal,
particularly as there is comparatively little
known about them.

Our Legislative bodies both State and
National-have a stolid way of showing
their respect for the peoples will. There
have been unmistaksble utteranees Of that
will-that it would be a relief if both these
bodies would subside and 60 home. The
emphatic language of Gen. Grant was,
''give us peace" and the sentiment has
been both tacitly and expressly reiterated
and yet no attention is paid to it. The
salaries Of members of Congress and the
per diem allowance Of the Assembly men,
and the connecting of political schemes
are more potent than the win ftbe people.

Wholesale Poisoning.

At Newark, VT, on the 28th, a party OF
nine children drank water from q brook,
the waters of which had been polluted by
the carcasses of horse and several sheep,
and were poisoned, from the effects of
which seven died soon after, their bodies
becoming putrid and demanding immediate
burial. The others cannot survive. A Mrs.
Morse lost two, Mrs. Carpenter lost three,
and two more are the ones referred to as
dying-taking her entire family; Mrs.
Aldrich lost two. There is great excite.
ment in the community about the matter.
Later-There have been nine deaths SO
far of children who drank from the poison
ed brook. Edward Morse lost two, John
Aldrich three, Fred Simpson one, i. Wilson
one, Mr.. Park one, and John Cole one.
Potato tops, poisoned by Paris green,
thrown in the brook, are regarded as the
cause of the poisoning rather than the car
casses OF dead animals. Terrible distress
prevails, and work is suspended. Twenty
seven children were poisoned by drinking
the water.

ambush on the 22d and killed. George
Underwood, Elva's father, was also

Jesse has entered the field as the aveng
er of his family's wrongs. 1t is feared that
there will be a fearful amount of bloodshed,

Andrew Carpenter, while peacefully at work

After Many DAYS.

P. n. Coleman, citizen of Tennessee, was
tried for murder by court martial during
the war and sentenced to be executed. He
was subsequently taken out of the hands
of the military and trled by state courts and
again sentenced to be executed, but on an
appeal to the United States Supreme Court
the action of the state courts was set aside.
The attorney general holds that the SEN
tence OF the court martial was not affected
by the decision of the Supreme Court, and
the sentence can be carried into execution,
but, in view of the circumstances and
time when the crime was committed, and
the lapse of time which has occurred since
its commission, he recommends that the
president commute the sentence to impris-
opment for life

News from ZUfUlanG,

On the 18th of May, great battle took
place at point between Thringpost and
Sanhawalla. 1t seems that a powerful Zulu
chief named Malcolm, with all his people,
numbering some thousands, had resolved to
surrender to the British he was joined by
Dabaal Manzi, Cetewayo's brother, who
commanded the Zulus at Gingihalovo and a
remnant of that army, its chiefs having
kept away from Cetewayo since their defeat
through fear. When nearing Thringpost
they were Unexpectedly Intercepted by a
powerful force, supposed to be commanded
by Cetewayo, coming from the northward.
A fearful conflict ensued, resulting in great
slaughter of Zulus who wished to surren
der, and they were dispersed and driven
back. Cetewayo has taken up q strong po-
sition ct the fork of the White Umvelosi,
and native scouts state that he declares he

proper security, there can be no question
These transactions have extended over a

them have been studiously kept from the

The fremen of Leavenworth, Kansas,
mourn the recent death of cold Jack, :"
a horse twenty-five years old. Of him
the Times says: "For about ten years
he belonged to the fire department, and
the department never had truer, more
faithful animal. He seemed to in
stinctively scent fires, and has been
known, by his prancing and efforts to
get out OF his stall, to give an alarm be-
fore any one mas become cognizant of a
fire; and when once attached to the
engine, nothing could stop him until the
vicinity of the fire was reached, and he
bore down upon it with the speed of a
whirlwind, the driver permitting him to
control the direction of the engine,
trusting to the instinct SO strong within
him, which never failed to designate the
precise location of the flames"
