In LEXINGTON, KY, work of grace
has been experienced in the First and
Second Presbyterian churches. The
meetings were held under the ministra-
ton of the Rev. Dr. Guerrant, of Mount
Sterling, and the Rev. DR.. Bachman, of
Chattanooga. There have been fifty or
more additions to the First church, TWEEN
ty-five to the Second, and few to other
churches in the city. The majority of
those added to the churches were chill
dren of the church and members of the
Sabbath School.

DIsEsTABLIsHMENT is the order of the
day In Europe. M. De Freycinet has
announced his purpose to revise the con-
cordat between France and the Vatican,
which has existed since the time of Ma
poleon, though but little observed on the
part OF the Church. 1t bound the bish
ops not to issue proclamations or CORES
pond with Rome without leave from the
minister of Public Worship. On the
other hand, the State undertook to sup
port the Church, politically and pecunia-
rily. The revision Of this compact by the
present government of France probably
means its abrogation.

EUROPE boasts of being the most civil
Used continent of the world. It has had
Christianity for eighteen hundred years.
The Roman Catholic Church reigned
there supreme for thousand years.
And yet it is estimated that there are
100000 men under arms in Europe at
this moment, and that the annual cost
direct and indirect, of these enormous
military establishments is not less than
100000.

PROTEST AGAINST EG Up
TOLOTY

We are ever more and more impressed
with the fact that there are different ways
of looking at things. We used to write
copy at school: Many men of many
minds, many. birds of many kinds" We
were not quite prepared, however, for the
following burst of indignation, addressed
to the Central Pre- lyteria1a, in connec-
ton with recent article lepublished in
this paper from the ~ Y Eyenimg Post
on the recent discoveries of the Egyptian
mummies and other antiquities in the
cave near Thebes. We lay it before our
readers as a literary and psychological
curiosity, confessing, however, at the
same time, that we hope it will not have
the effect of lettering NJ. Maspero and
the other scientific men now in Egypt
from prosecuting their investigations in
the tombs and the ruins of that ancient
land.
DR.. Curry will no doubt be surprised to
find himself so abruptly arraigned before
the Richmond public for his dissertation,
as our contributor conceives it, of the
Egyptian tombs but we turn him over
to our neighbor of the Religious Herald
who will no doubt abundantly vindicate
him from the impious act which has so
grieved and shocked our worthy CORES
pendent.
" The great find of Royal Mummies at
Thebes"
For the Central Presbyterian
When l see q religious paper publishing the
thfeving propensities of travellers and endorsing
their disposition to steal the bodies of those who
have been many centuries ago placed in their
resting place, by relations and friends, am con
strained to think, there is very little of charity
or true religion in such people-It is amazing
that any paper of respectability will publish
the doings of English and American travellers
IN the east, who are robbing tombs of the dead
to exhibit on return TO England and this coun
try. Such thieves are as bad as the Goths ard
Vandals who destroyed in Italy that which they
could not understand and appreciate. When
our learned and pious DR.. Curry returned from
the east, he too, must buy few mummies and
those supposed 10 be princes and distinguished
people who had lived many centuries ago-Can
such things be in this Christian era in this en-
lightened age-men go into distant country
and buy bodies and bring them to England and
this country and try and get up TILE reputa-
ton on exhibiting them "a very doubtful repu-
tation)
You teach the resurrection of the body-When
the thieves you endorse appear above, and they
are asked where are the bodies you stole in the
east what will be the answer Of the principal
and the endorser2 1t is a practice that ali PEG
pies Of moral character and religious training
should condemn-bah, the whole thing smells
bad. READER.

THE MISSION Of the Irish Presbyterian
Church in India is said to be in most
prosperous state. Dr. Murray Mitchell
wrote lately to Dr. Stevenson, Convener
Of the Committee Of Forign Missions in
the Irish Church, that he had baptized
twenty-eight persons at their station at
Borzud, and that in all his missionary life
he had never been called upon to baptize
50 many at one time.

PRoTE8TANTs commit a fearful wrong

PRoTEsTANTs commit fearful wrong
upon their children when they send them
to Roman Catholic schools. A cores
pondent, says the Presbyterian, writes
" The only child of gentleman in Hi
nois was unwisely sent to a Roman Cath
Ollie Seminary She became a bigoted
PaPist The only child, daughter Of a
Baptist clergyman in Georgia, was indis-
creetly sent to Roman Catholic Semi
nary. She became a bigoted Papist. The
ancestry Of both these young ladies were

THE manager Of large pottery estab-

day at this establishment"

The announcement, made by authority of a
government bureau, that the white pine for
ests Of the United States would at the present
rate of supply, furnish less than IL years sup
ply of that indispensable lumber, the American
Architect thinks, has not received the general
attention which it deserves, and probably will
not until the advancing cost of pine lumber
brings the lesson home forcibly to the public
mind. This advance has, however, already
begun, the price of pine land in the great
timber producing states having doubled with,
in few weeks, and the question Of the en-
ployment Of some other material for the coarser
uses of building is earnestly discussed among
architects and contractors. On some accounts
the sub ,tulinn of hard wood for pine in tie
finishing of houses would tend to promote
their solidity as we'll as their artistic interest,
both of which are compromised by the uni
versal habit of using hard wood only in the
form of veneer or castings upon grounds OF
cheaper materials. For framing spruce and
hemlock, with white wood in the southern and
middle states, will soon occupy the field en-
tirely, and the makers of laths and shingles
will, perhaps, transfer their industry 10 the
forests of hemlock and arbor vitn.

From the Erie Prcsse.
What we foretold has happened. The Up
son democracy of the 10th congressional dis
trict is doing penance. Major Dryer calls on
the Times to hoist the Hancock banner and
gives the reasons why they should do it.
First, Hancock was regularly nominated. If
this is the case why did the Epson party cut
up so much fuss and lament about cheating,
treachery and the like? Had they kept still
and accepted the inevitable they would not
now have to play such deplorable role
Maj. Dwyer, at the reconciliation feast at Aus
tin, given by Tom Breckenridge to the delegates
did drop the words in an unguarded moment ::
"'rhat old Bould as usual bring handsome
democratic majority" The bitter feeling about
the perfidious treachery of Hancock must have
been but mere sham, intended to put sand in
the eyes of the people and conciliate the ives t
over the defeat of Epson.
Major Dwyer counts in his address to the
democrats all the heroic deeds accomplished
by Hancock in which he is just as careless as
Ireland. Every body knows that we have to
thank Schlecher for the military Telegraph,
that it was he who got the $Ioo, 900 for the
building of the government depot, and that
it was the Davis administration that removed
the Kickapoo Indians out of the state All
this is credited to Hancock; he must help to
beat that ''bad man Davis"
Too late, major! Before Hancock comes
back from his speculation trip, Davis will
have conquered the whole field, and even the
''barre' Of Hancock will not save him.

A Matrimonial Wonder.

Baltimore Sun, Saratoga Letter.
One of the marvels of Saratoga is couple
from the south, who have been regular visit
ors for fourteen seasons. These two have
been married twenty-four years, but the wife
still addresses the husband as "dear," and he
still calls her "darng," and is quite as atten-
tive and deferential to her as he is to the wives
of other men. They are both affable and So
ciable, fond Of company, but they always are
together and always enjoy everything in COM
mon. The weary husbands who are always
inventing some excnSe to avoid attendance on
their families look at him with unbounded
curiosity and surprise, while she is gazed at
with unconcealed envy by her less fortunate
sisters. | must not omit to add, however
that this lady is wonderfully preserved both as
TO face and figure, dresses richly and in good
taste. and her husband can take as much
pride in her charms as when she was GOV
maiden, twenty-five years ago Perhaps il
she had lost her beauty and freshness but
will not spoil this little idyl.

tanned the prisoners claim to inspiration. Mr..
Porter said he had read that statement. and it
contained no such thing Mr. Scoville at once
objected, saying that Mr.. Porter was trying to
get indirect and unsworn evidence before the
jury Mr.. Porter defended his course on the
ground that he was only contradicting what
the prisoner had said. Judge Cox said this
statement was Objectionable, as the prisoner
was under oath as a witness, and Mr.. Por-
ter was not. Mr. Porter, nevertheless,
attempted to go on with what he wished to
say, but Mr.. Scoville stopped him again.
and Judge Cox said he could not allow any
thing more to be said by Mr.. Porter on the
contents of that paper. MIR. Porter declared
that he had practiced law longer than Judge
Cox, and intimated that he headed no ruling
from him. Judge Cox listened to this ur,-
moved, but Colonel Reed declared that MIR.
Porter ought to be punished for contempt.
Once when Judge Porter was saying that al
though the prisoner had sworn that he PRAYED
to God, there was no person in the assembly
who shrank from meeting his Maker as he did.
Guiteau was enraged, and rising, shouted:
" That's absolutely false, Porter, and you know
it, too, and you are an internal scoundrel. God
Almighty will put you below with Corkhill."
