Wnnfed Arsenic.

A youny man about 95 years Of age made
his appearance at the drug store Of Gem
mer Brothers. No. 500 West Seventh street,
yesterday afternoon and wanted to pur-
chase arsenic. Some questioning on the
part of the clerk developed the fact that
he was anxious to end his existence, and
wanted the drug for that purpose. As he
appeared somewhat singular, Officer Schae-
fer was called in and had him conveyed to
the station as a probable subject for the in
sane asylum. He gave his name as NJ.
Kahl.

The second annual meetiugot the Amer
lean Congress of Churches was ueid at
Cleveland, Ohio last week, and was n
every respect a successful gathering In it
were represented many Of the leading
clergymen and laynen of all denomina-
tiOns in this country, including the Ro-
man Catholic, No official action OF any
kind was taken, no resolutions passed, no
questions put to vote, as this Congress is
not an organization whose influence is in
tended to be binding or obligatory. 1t
meets simply to discuss important ques-
tions in which Christians of all deuomina-
tions are interested and in 50 doing it
naturally touches upon questions which
are of paramount interest to society in
general inasmuch as the welfare OF the
church and of society are in so many re-
spects identical. Thus, this Congress dis
cussed such vital and timely subjects as
Religion and Our Public Schools, " Re
adjustment in the Church to Meet Mod
ern Needs, !" The Workingman's Dis
trust of the Church,-its Causes and
Remedies, etc.
The continuance of this organization,
the harmony of its discussions, the feeling
Va pA'thNihcp'' - Ip''1HS ttiN N''bptlhT
ton which it fosters among Christians,
are gratifying and hopeful signs The
time, we trust, is rapidly passing when
distinctions of sect, differences of doctrine
and of Interpretation, and jealOu>ies and
rivalres among the churches shall retard
the work of the church in this land. Doc
trines creeds, interpretations may continue
to differ; doubtless it is well that there
should be broad and many-sided inter-
probation of scriptural truth, aside from
the essential doctrines upon which all
Christians are agreed. But that these diff
ferences should enter into the spirit and
the working methods of the churches, pro-
ducing jealOusies rivalres and mutual
distrust, is contrary TO the whole spirit of
the gospel, and is a reproach TO Christians
of every denomination. Among the in
fiuences which are tending to discourage
and do away with this sect-feeling prob
ably none is more etfectual than such
gatherings of representative clergymen
and laymen of all denominations
as are represented. 1t has already
brought American churches into
closer sympathy both of feeling and
of action, and it is to be hoped that in the
future still closer harmony and unity in
work will be the result.

\ Noble Work,

The American Home Missionary society
of the Congregational denomination now
in session at Saratoga Springs has been in
existence for sixty years. 1t has eXpend-
ed in it's work more than five million dol
lars it has established nearly five thou
sand churches and innumerable mission
schools, and has sent thousands of col
porteurs through the sparsely settled por-
tons of the far West. Nearly half of the
five thousand Congregational churches
aided by the association have be-
come selfsupporting, and many of
them are now engaged in their own
behalf in missionary and evangelical work
of wide reaching influence Nor has the
work OF the association been confined by
any means, to frontier or pioneer work 1t
has established missions in all the large
cities of the country, especially among the
foreign population, and has been remark
ably successful in its city work. The past
year has been the most successful in the
whole history of the association. Half a
million dollars have been spent, and many
new and fruitful fields of labor have been
opened
ltls indeed noble work in which this
and the kindred home missionary associ-
atoms of other churches are engaged. The
evangelization Of America means, to a
large extent, the evangelization of the
world These associations are strength
ening and broadening the Christian foun-
dation for the great nation of the future
which we hope is to gather up into itself
all that is best and most enduring in Old
World civilization, and be the worlds
model of national power and progress in
the generations to come and all Chris
tian patriots must bid them God speed in
their work.

Up to the close of last week ,635 900
copies of speeches actually or constructive
ly delivered this session in the House of
Representatives had been sent out from
the House folding room. This is about a
million more than for the corresponding
period in the long session of the 18th Con
gress, and when it is,remembered that the
tariff bill has not yet been called up, and
that nearly hundred members have sig
niiied their intention of speaking on that
bill to say nothing of others, it is plain
that the freshet of congressional
speeches is likely to exceed anything pre-
vlously experienced.

St1IlD1ru.

The main facts in the life of Gen. Stan
nard, whose sudden death comes with a
shock to thousands Of Nermonters who
fought with and under him, and to the
people of Vermont, are given in another
column. Our limits of time and space
permit us to add but brief estimate of
his character. Gen. Stannard was model
soldier and a true patriot. From the day
of the firing on sumter when he rendered
his services as soldier to the governor,
to the close of the war, his whole life and
thought and energy, heart and soul and
strength were absorbed in the one purpose
to do his utmost to secure the triumph of
the government over rebellion and the
unity OF the nation. How his genius
for arms and capacity for command de
veluped, is elsewhere shown. 1t can be
said for him that he wa, al
ways equal to every demand. Know
ing no such thing as fear; as cool
and clear headed i'm the dres shock of
battle, as on a holiday parade, he never
failed to do himself, and to make his troops
do, all that could be asked or expected of
mortal men. Often recklessly exposing
his own life, he was not reckless of the
way of conducting war : and when the
emergency and the opportunity came, as
it often did to him, he showed himself a
desperate and almost always a successful
fighter The browning act of his career,
in which 1t fell to him to strike the turn
ing blow in che great pivotal battle of the
war, will give his name ii shining place in
the history of our country as long as the
story of our great civil war is remem.
bered.
Gen. Stannard was not only gallant
soldier but he was true man. Having
known him under circumstances such as
permit an inside view of mans charaC
ter-haVing shared his tent and ridden al
his side, and borne his orders, and cared
for him VIXEN wounded and shared
his confidence, the writer Of this
article is able to say that General
Stanuard was as honest and truthful
man as he ever met. He not only
scorned lie, he never knowingly colored
the truth. He never knowingly injured
or defrauded any man. In the days of his
prosperity he was free, open handed, gen
erous-too generous for his own good but
he never used cent that he did not be-
lieve to belong to him. His fame of course
rests on his military record, and that is
one of which his State may well be proud
Modest and unassuming free from petty
Jealousies; slow to speak of his own deeds
prompt to give due need of praise to
others clean IN speech and thought; pa
tient and uncomplainingi in sufrerng-and
he endured much gallant, truthful, man
ly, it is no wonder that he was a favorite
with his men and with his brother officers.
1t was to honor him that the first meeting
of Vermont officers was held, in 1864, at
which the Reunion Society of Vermont of
fcers was organized and from that time
Oh he never entered or was mentioned in
gathering of Vermont soldiers without "A
need OF spontaneous applause.
The appreciation of his qualities and his
service is not confined to the soldiers.
The citizens of Vermont recognize them
and Will join rs one man in mourning his
loss and in respect for his memory.

There is no lack of candidates for lieu
tenant-governor, this year-all of them
worthy gentlemen, and all I'VE believe,
with perhaps one exception, in harmony
with the Republicans of the State on the
senatorial issue, which cannot be kept out
OF sight In the present condition of public
sentiment. We copy elsewhere an inter
view with Col. Franklin Fairbanks of st.
Johnsbury, on that question. 1t is under
stood that Caledonia county will unitedly
and cordially support Col Fairbanks for
the nomination to the second place on the
ticket. The State might do worse, GER
talnly, than to make him lieutenant gov
ernor. He is a gentleman of clean and
nigh personal character, sound on all pub
Tic and party questions "a leading and sue
cessful business man, and has had expert
ence as presiding officer, having been
speaker of the House. He would preside
over the Senate with impartiality and dig
nifty, and in the event OF the death of the
governor would worthily and capably fill
the governors chair What more is need
ed in candidate ?

Now that the schooner Sisters" is

ton takes on much less serious aspect
than some may have supposed. The YES
sci was legally detained, not Seized. 5"
There was no retaliation" about it. The
sisters came into the port of Portland
without manifest, her captains attention
was called to his neglect by the collector
OF the port and he was informed that he
was liable under the statutes of the Uni
ted States to Il fine of $500, but could APP
ply to the secretary of the treasury for II
remission or reduction of the penalty. He
dld so apply, and as it appeared that his
omission to provide himself with the
proper papers was not intentional, his
schooner was returned to him and he went
his way. That was all there was of it.

THE SPHINX EUROPE,
Caused by the Persistence of the
Cyar,

The sphinx of Europe just now.is the
czar of Russia. He Is alike Il mystery and
a terror to every one Of the crowned heads
of Europe, except, perhaps that of King
George of Greece. Millions of pounds
could be made by neutrality-suspicious. if
they could but get an authorized state
ment of his intentions for the next thirty
days. but he sits serene and silent in his
Crimean palace at the head of the largest
army now atield and grmly refuses either
to act himself or to seek the alliance of
any other power. The current eNplana-
ton in diplomatic circles is as follows (:
The Car has massed his army at Odessa
aud III the Crimea at time when the
affairs or Bulgaria appeared desperate.
He endeavOred to foment rebellion in
Eastern Roumelia against Prince AleXan-
der, but failed If a formidable reVolu-
ton had broken out, he would have AN
excuse TO invade the country, ostensibly
to secure peace; but no one can doubt
his nominal protectorate over ROumelia
and Bulgaria would soon be changed to
actual rulership over both countries. This
scheme fell through, because all the other
powers united in letting the Bulgarian
question drop, although Russia's protest
against Prince Alexander having a life
tenure as ruler of ROumelia remained un.
considered. This tricky action by the
powers although il doubtless prevented
war at the time, soured and angered the
car to such an extent that ne began to
gradually withdraw from the European
concert. Foled in hIs attempt to pro
woke war the car has since remained at
Livadia devising means TO again find
preteXt for invading Bulgaria. The for
eign office and diplomats have got
over their scare regarding the czar's So
called manifesto. 1t was no manifesto
in any possible sense of the word. II WAS
simply general orders" issued as n com
pliment to the Black Sea fleet after high
" satisfactory review by the car Such
"manifestoes" are issued daily by mill
tary and naval commanders in all parts
ofthe world. The fact that II produced IA
general feeling of alarm only proves that
the powers are in dread of Russia's future
action, and that their fears lead them to
eXaggerate everything that comes official
ly from the czar. The most probable eX-
PLANTATION of the present delay of the car
is that he is waiting until his secret agents
who are known to be swarming in East
ern Roumelia, have accomplished some
thing definite in the way of an uprising
against Prince Alexander
