DR.. Tyler stood in the pulpit, where for
eleven years he had stood as the shep-

people. And as they saw him there, the
idea seized many of his friends that, as
to-day was the church's anniversary,
they should celebrate the birthday and
make DR.. Tyler preach. He readily con-
scented to do this, and had determined
to speak from the same text he an
nounced at the dedication, nearly quar-

Athens. March a1.-A dispatch from
tetimo Crete. says that the Russian
consul ut that place to-day visited the
town OF Atsipopulo. for the purpose OF
communicating to the insurgents the
proclamation recently issued by the for
eign admirals. announcing the intent ntion
or the SIX great Powers to establish m
autonomous form Of government, and
also to invite the insurgents to lay down
their arms. His attempt was as uns,,c-
cessful as those heretofore made in the
same direction by the admirals and their
representatives.
The insurgents listened patiently to
the .Consul's explanation OF the benefits
THAT would accrue to them Under the
form of government proposed by the
Powers, and then declined TO make any
concessions whatsoever. Their leaders
declared that they did not desire au-
tonomy, feeling that 1t would prove as
farcical as the previous attempts TO es-
tablish sclf-EOvernment in the island.
They had taken up their arms 10 drive
the Turks from Crete and would never
lay them down till this was accom-
pliShed.
