Rev. Alex. Sterrett, of Manhattan, Kansas, has been spending the last week among Lis former parishioners and old friends in this city. He preaches to-morrow evening in the Vine Street Presbyterian Church. One of the attractions for the coming week is the lecture of Ilev. Dr Bcrt, of Cincinnati, for the benefit of the Sabbath Schools of the "Walnut and Vina Street Churches. Its sub jeer, 4" Bethlehem," is one of the most interesting of ail sacred themes, and fchould attract a large audience.

Qcitk a pleasant social evening was spent by tbe congregation f the Walnut Street Presbyterian Church of this city on Thursday night, in the Church Parlors, on the occasion of

the public reception to tno newiy elected pastor, Rev. Mr. Kumler. Quite a large company was present, consisting of the families of the congregation atul a number of ministers of this city and other friends of the Church. , The adics of the congregation regaled their guests with a bountiful supply of ice-cream and elegant cake. "We are glad to learn that Mr. Kumler meets with such a cordial reception from his owe neonle and the Christian public of this city. We hope his ministry amongst us may be highly acceptable and richly blessed. We find the following in the Cin cinnati Chronicle of last week: The -Rev. Mr. Pentecost has re signed the, charge oi the baptist Church at' Evausviile, Indiana, to take charge of the First Church at Covington, Kentucky, and the former society is now without a pastor. -The Church at Evansville is a live and energetic one, having lately completed a commodious house of worship, and its prospects for the future are highly encouraging. County Institutes. In many of the counties of "Southern Indiana a deep interest is being manifested iu the Sabbath School work. The schools in Posey County held an Institute during the present week. We have not yet heard with what success it wa3 attended. The Floyd County Union will hold an Institute Exercise on the 27th and 2Sth of , this month, which will be mainly conducted by Rev. Mr. Eggleston, the distinguished Institute work er of Chicago. The Schools of Gibson County will hold a Convention on the 4th, 5th, and Cth of August, at Princeton. The order of exercises, as published, indicates a highly interesting meeting In addition to home talent, which is fully brought out, we notice as an nounced to take a prominent part in the Convention, Rev. R. Andrus and Mr. John F. Glover, of this city, and Col. John W. Ray, of Indianapolis, an enthusiastic Sunday School worker. Independence Church. We did not have the pleasure of attending the dedication services of the General Baptist Church in Independence on last Sabbath, but we learn through Rev. George W. Moore, the Pastor, that Rev. Thomas M. Strain, who preached the dedicatory sermon, was highly pleased with the church build ing. His sermon on the occasion was one of deep thought and very appropnatea ana was nstenea to Dy i crowded house of attentive hearers After the discourse, there being stil a small debt of $200, a collection being made, tho amount was soon met, after which the Church was dedicated to the service of God, Rev. J. II. Henry, of Madisonville, Kentucky, and Rev, Lenonia Sanson assisting Rev. Thos. M. Strain. In the afternoon at 4 o'clock th Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was adniioisterea, and a precious season was experienced, Rev. J. II. Henry leading in tha services. At night there was a good meeting together. the house being tilled at every com ing toottier. j. ne church is a very neat building, and furnished in good style. Communicated, IXIUAiN 31I.iSKSS. Bishop Clarkson, of Nebraska and Dakota, has a fine Indian Mission among the Santee Sioux. These In dians were removed by the Govern ment from Minnesota at the time o the outbreak several years ago.' -Uev. Air. iiinman, who was missionary of the Episcopal Church to the peaceful portion of these Indians, followed the hard fortunes of the tribe when removed to the sterile regions ot Dakota. By constantly living among them, and -by his heroic Christian fidelity, ho is gained their confidence and lov to a degree tnat lew wnue men have been able to - attain. The result is that to-day, away up in that lonely and al X T A ' . .1 iuom unknown territory, tnere is one of the most successful Missions to the red men that has yet. been witnessed on this continent. iNearly one quarter of the entire population have re ceived baptism. Two hundred and fifty are actual communicants. They have, to a great extent, abandoned their Indian customs. They culti vate the soil, and live as whites. On the recent visit of the Bishop an unusual event occurred, which was the ordination of a native Indian, Irani Mnznt'itit who has been eitrht years a Christian andastudent of Mr. Hinman. lie caunot read English. His only books are the Bible and the (. ommon Prayer, which have been translated into the Dakota language. ins proacning is said to be truly elo quent and beautiful. A gentleman who was present says It was a sunt the solemnity of which is not oiten seen on earth to see that young man kneeling to re- - iL. x t ceive me vposiouc luinistry, sur rounded by hundreds ot his race wceiting all for ioy and gladness." The plan adopted in that mission is to carry on missionary work by the native. Christian Indian. an. , , lue service is described as very impressive and beautiful m the Da kola. Witnesses are eloquent in their account ot the hearty and responsive worship of tho tribe. Their chanting and singing are said to be especially solemn, and tho i-peetaelo of hundreds of these people worshipping ana praising tiod with one voice and one mind," in the common prayer of their own musical Sontee, can never be iorgotten. This effort to Christianize these Indians deserves special commendation. The Sioux are the best type of the Aborigines that remain. Their language is spoken by a larger number of people. If the recommendation of the Indian Peace Commission be carried out by Congress, all the Indian tribes roaming through the northwest will be concentrated in one grea. Territory lying north of Nebraska. Schools and missions will then be extended among them. The Bible amfPrayer liook in the Dakota language and a native ministry will then be the basis t a true civilization. And we shall see at least one hundred thousand souls, as teachable as children, , n ar ,more disposed to receive gladly and gratefully, Christian teach-' ,

ing, than any other heathen people on the globe. If the nation would encourage and sustain this movement, there is reason to believe the problem of Indian settlement, and Indian agencies would be solved effectually. ---<>---

ACROSS THE CONTINENT. ----- Omaha and Its Business—The Churches—How Attended—Valley of the Little Papillian [sic] —Soil—The Crops—The Tide of Emigration— Price of Land—The Platte Valley —Its Appearance and Fertility— Nominations of Seymour and Blair —How Taken—Miscellaneous Remarks, &c. ----- FREMONT, Nebraska, July 11, 1868. Editors Journal: Heat and <ennui> combined soon drove me out of Omaha, though it is a business town and a lively place. Some idea of its "life" may be gathered from the fact that the city, half the size of Evansville, supports two theaters regularly and a minstrel troupe about half the time, besides the Tivoli Gardens, three concert saloons and beer saloons and tobacco stands innumerable. <Per contra>, be it noted, that the churches wherever I attended were crowded, Sunday schools in a very flourishing condition, and in handsome well dressed ladies the place is certainly blessed. The large number of fair complexions met with there struck me as something remarkable. Out of a hundred or more ladies at church or on the street I remember but three or four brunettes, and not a single sallow, complexion. Remarking this to a friend, an old resident, he said it was due to some extent to the Eastern origin of the people, more, however, to the mixture of Swedes, Norwegians, and North-Ger mans, but most of all to the extreme healthiness of the atmosphere, which gives this vermilion clearness to the skin. I am the more surprised at this, as I have visited no part or the Union where there is so much black dust flying in the atmosphere as here. Even on the unbroken prarie at this season, a fine impalpable powder is constantly settling on one's clothes and skin, and after two or three hours walking, without consciousness of dust or inconvenience, one observes that the pores of his face and hands are filled and the skin completely dinged as if rubbed with smut. In the deepest valleys I have often parted the tall grass and seen this powder blowing from the roots and on the hill sides, opposite the prevailing winds, have observed it drifted in little waves an inch or two in height. It yields readily to cold water, and it seems to me leaves the complexion fairer than before. But all the above enumerated charms could not detain me during the heated term, while the thermometer rose every day to 95o, so on the afternoon of Tuesday the 7th, with stair in hand, I flew to the hills for refuge. Six miles northwest of the city, on the military road—the old California trail—brought me into the valley of the Little Papillion, (<Papeeyong, Butterfly>,) where I spent the night with a minister of the German Presbyterians, irreverently styled by the Yankees hereabouts, the "Deformed Dutch," but remarkably temperate, industrious people and good citizens. by whatever name known. They are quite numerous there. As this has been a very hot, dry Summer here. and not a drop of rain had fallen for three weeks, I was surprised at the appearance of their corn, which showed no signs whatever of drouth, was some three or four feet high, of a rich dark green color, and growing rapidly. It seems the crops seldom show the effect of drouth, though much less rain falls in the course of the season here than in Indiana. The hard freeze of Winter makes the soils pulverize completely, and it is dry enough to plow as soon as the frost is out. The surface soil continues the same for some twelve or fifteen feet deep, when a bed of wet sand is reached, which may have some ef fect in keeping the soil moist. In digging wells I notice no pick is needed, the spade sinking as easily anywhere as on the surface. The ground is as dry in Winter as in Summer, I am told, and the contemplative emigrant may ask himself whether it is better in a man to suffer the stings and buffets of these outrageous winds witj entire freedom from mud, and Winter rain or thaw, or to take refuge in the wooded region of Indiana, avoid the wind and have the other evils. Leaving the military road here, I took my course six miles up the valley, and took dinner with a Swede, who understood just three words of English, which about equaled my knowledge of Swedish. Fortunately he had served as a "mercenary" in France and Italy, and spoke both languages like a native, and as I had a dim recollection of some boarding school French learned eight years ago, we carried on a lengthy conversation in a very barbarous mixture of French and Latin! He informed me there had just been a famine in his native Province, and that every one here who was able had sent money to his friends and relations to come over and stay with him till they could get homes, which accounted for the young men and women I saw at many houses who did not seem to be part of the family. I have no means of determining the number of these emigrants, but it must be great. There are several agents in Omaha, and one of them informed me that his commission on through tickets from Sweden and Norway amounted to $80 since January 1st. Emigration of every kind to this region is great, and vacant lands in this district have advanced from $3 to $5 this season. The farmers are buying the vacant land near them as fast as they can command means, in the assured belief that it will double in value in a year or two. The people seem to have great faith in the future of their State, and I confess I agree with them to a great extent. In climate, soil and water they have nothing to wish for, and if timber was a little more plenty the country would be perfect. Groves are springing up fast on every hand and add greatly to the beauty of the scenery. The idea of a desert here is absurd. Next Wednesday, by the way, I purpose starting for the real desert, if it can be found. (Friends will please take notice accordingly, and direct letters to Cheyenne, Dakota Territory.) From the Swedis [sic] I crossed over to Fontanelle, in Washington County, and circulated generally in the Elkhorn Valley, traveling morning and evening, lying by at noon and boring the farmers with questions about soil, crops, climate, water, timber and everything else. Turning south the afternoon of the 9th, I got belated on the north bluff of the Platte, and a little after dark reached a cabin, which looked very uninviting by starlight, but was my only chance in five miles. To my usual request the settler replied that he "never turned a man away at night, but I wpuld find hard accommodations," which I found too true. To my inquiry for fresh water he replied that he had dug two wells, one of

them seventy-three feet deep, and got no water, but struck sand, which caved so he could not curb. This is the only such case I have met with in Nebraska. Sometimes they must dig deep, but they get as fine cool water as I have ever tasted. This family used water from the creek, of which one draught disgusted and satisfied me, and I bore my thirst till the next day. No mention was made of supper, and I was conducted to a loft which served as a corn bin,

but in a vacant corner a rude bed was spread upon the floor, where I turned in, and "in the arms of Murphy" I soon forgot all my troubles but thirst. More than once in the night I dreamed of "the old oaken bucket," with its accompaniments of the cot and the dairy house, and woke from the tantalizing dream just as the water touched my lips. Daylight, in novelist style, "revealed the horror of the situation." The man's wife was slightly insane, or as he told me, "clean duft," and his children—he had six of them ranging from one yenr old to ten—were growing up like wild bulrushes, moving examples of the curse "dust thou art," &c. A sort of breakfast, was prepared by some means, and I took a scant portion of bread and coffee; but it was a signal triumph of a Catholic stomach over a Protestant nose! My host, who stated that he was "from Pennsylvany, near the Virginny line," declined all pay for my lodging, but would 'take a lemonade with me down at <Fur>mont, where he was agoin' to git his double breakin' plow sharped." We took a seat in his wagon, and soon reached the slope leading to the Platte Valley. As I viewed the wide expanse of beauty, my heart swelled unutterably full of enjoyment at the glory and magnificence of the scene. Far as the eye could pierce to the east and west spread the plain, its surface covered with tall grass waving and sparkling in the morning sunshine. -Along the opposite bluff ran the broad Platte, fringed with timber; and on the near bank, some five miles distant, the town of Fremont showed like a toy village half, buried in the green carpet. There are few subjects on which I am enthusiastic, but natural beauty on a grand scale is one of them. I wanted to shout aloud, to sing; eagerly wished for some friend to share my feelings, but the man at my side was unmoved. He had seen it a thousand times, and, Gallio-like, "cared for none of these things." We soon passed the plain and entered Fremont, a flourishing little city of 1,200 inhabitants, some thirty-six miles west of Omaha. We found the Democratic part of the population all alive over the New York nomination, news of which had just arrived. There is some enthusiasm over Seymour, but Blair is recarded as a "damper." I shall remain here over Sunday, then return to Omaha, and soon leave Nebraska I like the country well, but I have some harsh criticisms to make on the people. About half of them seem to regard a traveler as fair prey. They look on him with covetous eyes, and for the smallest favor will charge him all they think he will stand without a disturbance. The idea is to get money, they are not particular how, and those who are traveling are supposed to have plenty. And then so few of them really know how to enjoy what they have. Bad cooking is frightfully common, and taken in connection with lack of fruit, and other evils of a new country, if it were not the healthiest in the world I am afraid it could not be settled at all. But this last I have noticed all over the West. How many families in Indiana and Illinois are cursing the climate for evils which a month's attention to the chemistry of common life would remove. But a few days ago I stopped for dinner at a rather pretentious house, in a pretty valley, surrounded by fine fields of corn and wheat, where the material was obviously plenty and required only decent attention in cooking. My disappointment was terrible. Tea that drew my mouth awry, without milk; butter that defied me in self-conscious strength; the rankest pork that ever smelt to heaven, and bread which defied all my efforts at classification. It lay in strata, and by cutting out the middle layer I did pretty well, but the crust was too much for me. Geologically speaking it belonged to the pulaeozoic [sic] period and seemed a rare combination of horneblende [sic], flint, and mica. It lacerated my jaw; it would have killed rats. I attacked it with my usual recklessness, and gave it up in ten minutes, after excoriating my mouth and half ruining some of Dr. Bierbower's best work! I am not at all squeemish [sic], for I have traveled before, eaten with Indians. Negroes and Ma lays, and footed it through the hill country of Alabama. For this entertainment (?) he charged me "only half a dollar." Of all the West em humbugs I have met with, he was the most unmitigated. Oh for wines to fly to the corner of Second and Gum Streets, to take a "square meal" at the <Hotel de> Perkins! Why will the Western farmer's wife pay so little attention to the science of cooking. Know ye not that what a man eateth he is! Science has demonstrated that we are totally re-made bone, blood, brain and muscle every seven years. Thus our present selves are ever scooping up our future selves with knife, fork and spoon. And has not A. B. of to-day a vital interest in what the A. B. of seven years hence shall be? How melancholy to reflect that at the end of this period he will be the result of a combination of cold hash, watery potatoes, sloppy coffee and sad bread! How can such a one retain his self-respect when he remembers his component elements? The ancient Greeks did well to locate the soul in the stomach. I am not so sure but the enlightened moderns will yet return to that philosophy. Let who will pretend to despise the pleasures of enlightened epicureanism, the greatest philosophers are opposed to him. To a man they were lovers or good eating. Man, dominating the whole animal kingdom, selects oniy its noblest representatives as worthy to sink their individuality in his own oy giving their meat and muscle to become part of his corporation. The highest compliment man can pay the ox is to eat him, for by that act he demonstrates that the bovine is fit to be absorbed in the human; and if we may believe that the animal has a soul, how cheerful to reflect that it meets its proper apotheosis by adoption into the human spirituality! Viewed in this light, these animals are truly immortal; they survive in us, their federal head and final representatives. When a man says of the idol of his soul, "I love her well enough to eat her," what does he mean but this--that he has so intense an, appreciation of her bodily excellence that he would literally absorb it--swallow up, as it were, her rare combination of soul and body, and completely assimilate it to his own individual essence, (beautiful simile!); translate her, so to speak, and make her a part of him-

self, in fact as well as in figure ! j

v lewed in this philosophical light, the- lover's tender suggestion of amatory cannibalism is really the most delicate of respectful compliments. There is a class of transcendentalista (small, thank heaven!) , woo deprecate anything like a deep interest in . the mere pleasure of eating. Most egregious muttonheads! Excess, perhaps, is to be decried, but mankind must take more enlightened interest in good cookin? and zealous enjoyment of eating. Talk of senti ment, poetry, music, art; where were they without that kind of food which furnishes the correct stimulus to the brain and nerves? Feed Longfellow on cold hash and sad bread, and how many Hiawathas will you get r All other pleasures are in their nature, deceitful but this. What is fame? A delusion. What is lover A disease. lhe man of forty laughs at it, but at forty your true epicure has just attained his full stature and learned how to get all the enjoyment a good dinner can yield. lavor is deceitful, and beauty's only skin deep, but there is ro discount on boned turkey and scolloped oysters,. If I ever fall in love it will be at a picnic. There is my heart most open; there do I feel most generous ' sympathy with all mankind. - Let us who understand this thing, labor to indoctrinate the masses with the true ideas of good living, the overwhelmin importance of 'a well regulated kitcnen. Let us not cease our efforts till eating take3 its true place among the fine arts. Yours, gastronomically. : ' !. Beadle. LAW CARDS. JOHX K. CBKBS. CHAONCRY 8. OOHQZM : - .
