Damascus during the terrible massacre of
1860, when 5000 Christians were muir
dered by the fanatical Moslems, and the
whole quarter of the city where they
lived converted into heap of ruins.
Christians are still regarded with great
aversion, it is said, by the Mohammedan
population, but though 1 spent most of
my time in their quarter, had no indi-
cation, by word or sign, of their I'M

the two missionaries of the United Pres

here, Messrs. Crawford and Phillips,
from whom | received kind attentions.
They called on me at the Hotel Dimitri,
and | visited them at their homes, and
heard much from them of the difficulties
and discouragements of their work in this
city. I would have accepted their invi-
tation and remained with them over
Sunday, but for the fact that our passage

The BIBLE WAGON IN ITALY.-Mat-
teo Prochet, a Protestant clergyman of
Genoa, Italy, says of the Bible wagon
now in use by the Waldensians, that
although the Italian laws do not permit
preaching in the streets, yet the colpor-
teur with his wagon, by paying a small
fee, has been able to secure a place in
the public squares of cities, and this fee
has carried with it the right not only
to sell the Bibles, but to explain fully
what they are, and to read from them as
much as he likes In this manner, he
says, one man was able last year to place
the Bible in the hands of nearly sixty
thousand people who had never heard it
before

A RAY OF LIGHT IN MUoH DARKNESS.
In the last Of M. Remains lectures in
London there was passage, the London
Spectator says, understood to imply his
own belief in personal God Zone thing
only is certain; it is that the fatherly
smile at certain hours shines across Ma
ture, and assures us that there is an eye
looking at us, and heart which follows
us" TIE Spectator considers that as a
great advance on the general drift Of the
Dialogues ct FTagn1ez8 Phjlo8ophiq1le5,
and says that apparently M. Renan is
cropping his way back to purer theism'

RE.UNloN.-On Friday, the 18th
instant, the students and eX-students
of Newberry College from the lower
portion Of the State met at Trinity
Church in Middle St. Matthews for
the purpoac Of organizing q union
among them in the interest Of educa-
ton generally. After the usual pre-
liminaries, q permanent organisation
was made by elect;ng Prot. j. B. O.
Holloway, President, Rev. William
Stoudenmire, Secretary and Treasur-
er, and the present incumbents 10 the
other Offices. Speeches were made
in behalf of general education by
Prof. j. R. O. Holloway, II. G. Sheri-
dan, Prof. Geo. Il. Cromcr and Rev.
5. S. Rain, the two last professors Of
Newberry College who made most
excellent addresses in advocacy of
college education ae tue best system
yet devised for training the mind and
preparing The student for future sue
cess in any of the vocations of life.
These gentlemen have made most
favorable impression upon the COM
munity, and will doubtless widen
their sphere Of usefulness in field
where there are already many honor
ed graduates Of Newberry College.
After recess of an hour 10 parlake
of splendid dinner prepared for the
occasion by the citizens of the neigh
horhood, the Union reassembled to
finish the business before it. Reso-
lutions of thanks to the citizens for
their generous hospitality were unnn-
imously adopted, and, after the bene.
diction, q meeting of all the Sunday
School children from the different
churches was called. Quite a num-
ber of schools we're represented, aud
Rev. VIM. Stoudenmirc, Rev. S. S.
RAIN and Prof. Geo. B. Cromer en-.
tertained the large audience In their
hnppiest style. The occasion was a
most enjoyable one all round.

At recent meeting Of tho board
of trustees Of the Agricultural Col
legc at Columbia, complete arrange
mentB we're made to open that insti-
tuition on the 1st of October next.
The chair of Geology, made vacant
by the declination of Prof. Joseph
LeConte, was filed by the election OF
tho Rev. James Woodrow of Colum-
bia and late Professor in the Theolo-
gical Seminary there, Sufficient
money was placed at the disposal of
the Executive Committee to provide
for successful beginning Of the first
term. Mr.. G. w. Connors, OF Hamp-
ton County was elected foreman OF
the farm. All tenants, who have
been occupying the College buildings,
will remove forthw tn in order that
the rooms may be mate really for
the students, who will be charged NO
other fee than that of tell dollars for
room rent. The. name of the institu
tion is ".rhe South Carolina College
Of Agricultural Mechanics" and OF
course degrees Of graduation will be
conferred on all those who complete
the prescribed course.
This is the fret effort made since the
war to give the youth Of our country
u strictly practical education. Tho
prediction has gone forth that the
enterprise will be a failure, because
the business OF College is to train
the mind TO think properly, whilest
to do, is the after work Of the student
himself. We really see no reason why
a College may not learn man to do
as we'll as to think-why not both.
