We spoke recently Of the improve

is some cheering testimony Of it by writer in

tened most attentively. Many had come to
hear the Word who had not been to hear Gods
Word for many yesrs In another place th e
people crowded together on Sunday afternoon
and many Of the hearers were affected to tears
On Sunday, September 7th, / went to the Cathe-
dTal Of Berlin, and the Court preacher, Pastor
otocker, preached to a crowded congregation the
true Gospel. l never saw so large congrega-
ton more attentive, and | am sure his words
were like arrows In the afternoon the Citv
Mission celebrated its annual festival. As Pas
tor Stocksr and Herr Won Schluu bach were
announced as speakers, I went, although il was
about ten miles from Berlin. l was not little
surprised when we reached the place to find at
least 5000 people, principally from the working
classes, assembled, and this in a pouring rain
Mr.. Won Schlumbach spoke from the words
Rejoice in the Lord The people listened
most attentively to thorough Gospel address
and one could see in the countenances Of the
people that they drank in the Word. which il
cannot be doubted will lead many TO Christ
DR.. Schamm, of Bremen, said in BROOKLYN
recently, that Germans care little for Church
life. They do not receive from the pulpit food
that is fit for them. This, dubtless explains
much Of the Indifference. II is the GOSPEL the

McGuffey's Readers.

The Board cf Education has adopted McGufey's
Readers, as will be seen from their notice in to-
days paper. After ex experimenting with two other
series, they come back to MeGuifey's with the con-
viction that in all essentials OF a Reader, they have
never been surpassed, and never will be. In this
they are sustained by the action of Richmond, Pc
tprsburg, Lynchburg, and the largest cities in the
United States. Charlottesville, Lexington and
Stauntan, the great centres of High Education in
Virginia, have adopted McGufey. Along the Mid
land and Western Railroad, county after county
has come back TO McGufey with q uaanilnity that
would be incomprehensible did we not know the
book.-Daneile Register.
"This action is based in every instance on the re-
commentator Of the professional teachers of each
county, Without consultation with those of any
other. Side by side with McGuffey's Readers,
Harvey's Grammar, Rays Arithmetics and the
Eclectic History Of the United States have been al
most universally adopted in this State. ''-F1eder-

These books have been adopted and are now in
use in the schools of Charlotte and Salisbury.

will avail themselves of the opportunity of supply

Religion Before the War.

A minister Of the gospel, who once
journeyed on horseback through Viz.
ginia in q e antebellum days, tells this
story: Overtaking an old negro on
the road, and feeling in the mood for
a chat with the old man, he slowed his
horse to keep pace with him, when the
following dialogue ensued: "Do you
live about here :" "Yes, massa. be.
longs to Col. H. He lib bout two
miles from yer" 1T is a beautiful
country. Are the peoplereligious heres
Yes, massa dey is powerful sigh

AIR.SAILING.
important Inventions IN the Art Of
Balloon Steering.

Alter many years have been devot-
ed, with successive failures. to the dis
covery of some method whereby bal
loon could be navigated in any direc-
lion at the will of the eronaut, two
French officers attached to the military
balloon workshops at Mendon have
succeeded in solving the difficult prob.
lem. By permission of the French
Minister of War, M. Herve Mangon
has been allowed to lay before the
French Academy ofScience an account
OF the remarkable experiments tLat
were made at Mendon on the 9th OF
August last. At o'clock in the after
noon of that day balloon containing
Capts. Renard and Krebs rose slowly
from the park at Choisy, near Mendon.
and took at first northerly direction
over the plateau, through which runs
the road from Cholsy to Versailles.
To avoid ascending above the trees,
the direction ofthe balloon was chang
ed toward Versailles. The air was
calm, and at first the movement ofthe
balloon was scarcely perceptible, but
as soon as its motive power was
brought into action Its pace was accel,
Grated. When it was above Villacou-
blay, some two miles from Mendon, the
spectators saw it suddenly tack about
| make a half circle of 200 yards radius
return to its point of departure, and
slowly descend, with a dipping motion,
until it alighted on the lawn from which
it had started. The distance covered
in going and returning was about foul
miles and three-quarters, and the time
occupied in the trip II minutes. Dur.
ing the entire trip the balloon Is said
to have obeyed faithfully the least
movement of its helm The total
weight of the balloon, with all Its ap-
piiapces, including the two officers who
controlled and directed IT'S movements,
was 1880 pounds, or two tons and an
eighth. The motive power was sup
piled by an electric accumulation oper-
ating a motor. This motor was Ct
four-horse power, and the duration Of
the force employed in working the
screw propeller was estimated at four
! hours when the full power of the bat
terry was applied. Only little more
than the power of three horses was
used on the occasion referred to. So
far then as relates to the ability tc
guide balloon to any given point, to
reverse its course and return to the
point of departure on calm day, the
Mendon experiments said to be con.
elusive. 1t is said that by using the
full power of the motor the balloon
can be directed at the will of its navl
gator in the face OF strong winds, anc
even in great storms. if the motive
power were increased to that of Il
horses. However this may be, there
can be no doubt that this discovery o
the means Of navigating balloons is :
very important one, and that in al
probability it will tend to further i'm
provements in the same direction.

the pursuit, the retreat, etc. Auxiliary
branches Of the service will also be
treated in this supplementary way.
The illustrations of the scheme will
receive the most careful attention, and
in this particular it is thought that the
series will possess an unequaled histor-
ical interest. Tile Century has at its
disposal very large quantity Of maps
and plans, portraits of general officers
OF both sides. authentic paintings and
drawings, and especially photographs
of camp scenes, battle fields, famous
localities. etc, etc. A strict regard
for accuracy will guide the preparation
of the Illustrations, and where compo-
sition pictures are desirable, the details
will be carefully studied by eye-wit-
nesses and the best records, and, where
practicable, from nature, with the aim
of avoiding so-called fancy" scenes.
Having the aid of such resources of
pen and pencil, the conductors of the
magazine feel reasonable confidence
that this publication-perhaps the
most important and considerable en-
terprise ever undertaken by them
will possess not only a graphic and
personal interest (setting forth the
color as we'll as the form of the great
battles), but also historical value no,
easily to be calculated. The aim is to
present, not official reports, but mem
oirs--no less authoritative lthough, o.
necessity, less minute) in strategy anc
tactics, but LAYING more stress upon
the humane and heroic aspects of tht
great conflict.

ner, the life and spirit of the most i'm
portant OF modern military conflicts
the War for the Union. The main
portion of the scheme will be papers
of a popular character on the great en-
gagements of the war, by general
officers high in command at the time,
either upon the Union or the Confed-
crate side. In many instances the
contributor will be the officer of first
command, and in every instance a
participant in the engagements under
consideration. Tor instance, the bat.
ties of Shiloh and Vicksburg will be
described by General U. S. Grant, who
will contribute four papers to the
series; General Beauregard will write
of the First Bull Run; General McClel-
Ian, of Antietam; General Rosecrans,
of Stone River, etc. The passage of
the Forts below New Orleans will be
described by Admiral Porter and the
Western Gunboat Service by Rear
Admiral Walker, and the fight between
the Monitor and the Meryimae by
Colonel John Taylor Wood, the senior
surviving officer of the latter vessel.
Other prominent Confederate generals
have engaged to contribute, and some
of these contributions will be hardly
less notable than those above mention
ed. In several instances brieier sup
! Elementary papers will chronicle special
incidents or consider special phases oil
an engagement. Personal reminiscent.
ces of several of the most prominent
military leaders, now dead, will also
give variety to the scheme.
The foregoing contributions will all
be by general officers, or, in three or
four instances, by staff officers, and
will represent war as it appeared from

them will appear from time to time a
