TENELY TOPICS.

THE genial editor of the New York o.
serUer tells the following racy anecdote OF
the Rev. DR.. E. F. Hatfield, recently de-
ceased, a1d his ambitious leader of the
choir in his church. Mr.. Jones, the choir
ester, was getting up grand musical
performance by his choir of an anthem
he had composed to the words of Watts
Psalms. The first verse ends with the
splendid worde:
20, may Lny heart in tune be found,
Like David's harp Of solemn sound.''
Jones came to his pastor to get his ap-
proval OF q change OF these lines SO as to
read:
so, may my heart be tuned within,
Like Dayid's sacred vioiin.''
We can see the cute and sunny smile of
the Doctor, says the editor
of the Observer as he heard the new YER
sion. But he said he could improve even
that, and he wrote, to the amazement of
Jones:
so, may my heart go diddle. didde,
Like unto Uavid's sacred fiddle.
Jones sang the psalm according to
Watts.
TIE Rev. DR.. Plat is The Rector of st.
Paul's church Rochester, n. Y. He has re-
Gently issued volume entitled "God Out
and Man H." in which he pays his re-
spects to tbs atheistic 1nfdel, Robert G. In
gersoll with the force and vigor of an
electric battery. Ingersoll, himself, as a
personal entity, is treated with Just con-
tempt, bat the glitteriDg, superficial, wide
spread inf6elity of the time of which he is
the CHASTITY product is handled with an in
cisive and effective pungercy that leaves
it only in hideous outline, to be gazed up
on by the candid with aversion. Mr.. Platt
was 4 lawyer before he became minister
A critic presenting his view of the scope,
spirit and point of Mr.. Platt's book, says
with emphatic vigor:
''His book is repertory of sharp shots and
condensed arguments, aimed nominally at the
ubiquitous colonel, but really at the infdehty
for which he speaks. The reputation of Inger-
soil is not worth the candle. There are no cor
ners in the field which holds men of his class;
aud he cannot be cornered. But there is great
good to be expected from such books as this of
Mr.. Platt. They contain the outlines of several
hundred telling Christian arguments, running
a1ougside the infdel ribaldry of Ingersoll A
hundred people will read them as replies to In
gersoll, when not one would look at them on
their own account. They are replies. They
do meet his points; and though they haye no
manner OF effect on Ingersoll, except to freshsn
the breeze he flies on, they cut away his follow
lug, spoil the effects of his shots, and PLUCK
away his game before he gets it hopalessly in
his inidel bag"

II was q saying of Seneca, the stole
Philosopher, in discoursing upon poverty
and riches, that ''if there were nothing
else in poverty but the certain knowledge
of our friends, it were yet most de-
sirable blessing, when every man leaves
us but those who love US. 1t is shame to
place the happiness of life in gold and sill
yer, for which bread and water is sufi-
cient or, at the worst hunger puts an
end to hunger. For the hand of poverty,
it was both the foundation and the
cause of the Roman Empire, and
no man was ever yet SO poor bat he had
enough to carry him to his journeys end"
The philosopher further adds that all he

The Congo river, and the importance
cation is attracting, at this moment, IN
usual, but none too pointed attention.
Mr.. II. NJ. Stanley. the explorer, and dis
coverer of Livingstone, is urging England
most earnestly, to establish protectorate
over the Congo, and not to permit the
Portuguese to gain possession of it. And
this he urges both for the interest of Eng
Iishmsn and of Africans. Writing to
England he says: t'If you deliver these
people into the hands of the Portuguese,
the past as well as present teaches US what
to expect. You deliver them soul and
body to the hell of slavery. So, avoid the
imputation Of being false and faithless;
proclaim protectorate over the Congo,
and rescue these poor people from their
present impending fate" Under the
right, governing influence in his estima-
ton, England holds in its grasp the very
salvation of the great benighted continent.
His views on this point eloquently, and
earnestly expressed are Of sufficient i'm
portance to be quoted more at length
He says:
"Despite every prognostication to the con-
trary, this river will yet redeem the Lost Con-
tinent' By itself it forms sufficient prospect,
but when you consider its magnificent tributa-
ries, which flow on each side of it, giving &C
cess to civilization to what appeared hopelessly
impeuetrable a few years ago, the reality of the
general utility and benefit to these d TX tribes
and nations fills the senses with admiration.
Every step make increases my enthusiasm for
my work and confirms my first impression.
Give 1000 miles to the main chaonel, BIO to the
Uwango, 100 to Lake Mantemba, 800 to the
Mobimdu, probably 500 to the Kassai, 300 to
the SankuIan, 500 to the Arnaurini, and 1000
more to the undiscovered rivers-for there is
abundant space to concede SO much-and you
have 1870 miles of navlgable water. Such an
ample basin, with such mileage of navigation,
with its unmeasured resources, would you be-
STOW as a dover upon such people as the Por-
tuguese. who would but seal it to the silence of
the coming centuries? 1t was Livingstone, an
Englishman, who discovered this river. 1t was
Anglo-American money which explored it, and
made it known. 1t was international money,
part of which is | nglisn, which began the task
of making the stream useful to the world.
They are English goods, products, manufactur-
ers, which enabled US to move on and win the
love of the Congo nations. VIII you still vote
that we shall sacrifice all this in honor of Diego
Cam, whose countrymen allowed the pearl of
African rivers to be idle for nearly four ceptu-
ries.''

defeat by the union forces In the field, there
was a general uprising Of our patriotic peo-
pie in support of the government and flag.
On such occasions over $4,000 troops were
in less than q month organized, armed,
equipped, and sent into the field. Sixty
thousand men were thus repeatedly sent in
four weeks. Ninety thousand infantry we G
sent from the five states of Ohio, Illinois, In
diana, Iowa, and Wisconsin within twenty
days. When Lee surrendered, thousands OF
recruits were pouring in, and men were dis
charged from recruiting stations in every
loyal state.
Thus, as in every other similar conflict be
tween the forces of slavery and freedom, iu
modern times, those of freedom gloriouslJ
triumphed through the unyielding patriotism
Of the masses. These, indeed, are invincible.
Again masters Of the nation, the sources of III
wealth and power, the masses, the majaritS
of the nation, will not again allow the contro
Of the government TO be Rrasped by the old
forces Of slavery and free trade, the conques
of which cost them SO recently such immens'

Ell PAso, TEX, May 22.--The Mexican gov
ernment are perfecting comprehensive plan
for the encouragement of emigration begin
ming with its northern states. Congressman
Leon, of Paso del Norte, is preparing an elab-
crate report. The government will give land
and pay for the passage.
There is no doubt but that an extensive re-
vision of the Mexican tariff is in contempa-
tion by the present congress. Among the fnan-
cial suggestions now made Is that of fund
ing the legitimate Mexican debt, about $780,
600, 900, in bonds of 40 or 80 years and mako
them tho basis Of national banking system
whose notes should be legal tonder for debts
and taxes. 1t is thought that this could bC

SANTA FE, N. NJ, May 22.-Yesterday an
armed mob of sixty men swooped down upon
the principal mine of the San Pedro and
Canon del Agna company, in Santa Fe
county, and drove off thirty men who were
working the mine. This company has been
turning out 1875 tons Of copper per month, but
this action shuts down the mine, and throws
$50 men out of employment. The mino has
been in litigation for some time and legal &C
tion will be taken to-day to regain possession
of it. The company has large number oi
