The religious world is beginning to feel a deep interest in a meeting which to be held in New York next September, For a number of years' an annual meet ing has been held.in different parts ofEu rope, under tho auspices of the Evangeli cal Alliance. This society is composed of members of all the Christian denomina' tions which are called "evangelical," and its object is to promote Christian unity not by doing away with denomination but by increasing the sympathy and co operation between these different Christian bodies. At the meeting of the A1 liance the very best talent of the Chris tian churches in tho different' countries of Europe and in America, has been laid under contribution

The next meeting,'which begins September 22d and continues ten days, is to be held in this country, and at New York.

INDIAN RAID CONFIRMED.

CONFIRMED.

ST. LOUIS, May 16th.—Officers of the Kansas Pacific Railroad here confirm the report from Omaha yesterday of an Indian raid on [blank] road. The attack was made on working parties between Kit Carson and Willow Springs, a distance of 40 miles. Ten men belonging to grading parties were killed. This is the first appearance of Indians in force in this season and workmen not on guard. Arms have been distributed among them and troops sent to various points for their protection. No delay will be caused in construction of the railroad between Kit Carson and Denver.

VERDICT OF THE CORONER'S JURY. The Coroner's jury this afternoon rendered a verdict that the collision near Eureka, last Thursday morning, was caused by disobedience of orders and culpable negligence of Wm. Oder, conductor, and Joseph Tracy, engineer, of the freight train, in running said train at least fifteen minutes behind the time given them through orders of the train dispatcher.

BURNING OF A RAILROAD TllAIX. »»I '2

Last Tuesday evening's eastward-bound passenger train on the We«t Wisconsin Railroad met with a terrible catastrophe whjle ncaring Tornah. The woods in the vicinity had been on fire for some time, and a pile of about five hundred hard oak ties, seasoned two years, which were plated along the track about twelve miles from Tomab, were soon subject to the destructive element. 'The danger to the train, says the Milwaukee jS'cu'S, "was not apparent until the engine had turned a curve ajhort distance from the lire in the road, and was approaching on a down grade. The engineer immediately whistled 'down brakes,' and putting on all steam possible determinined to run the gauntlet. The rails had been so badly warped and the ties consumed that the engine was soon thrown from the track, bumping along on the ties until it was findally brought to a halt, with the engine and tender just through the lire, and a ladies' car at the other end of the train also free The engine and tender were immediately uncoupled and rnn out to a place of safety, and the passenger car also dsiengaged and removed, although not before it was badly 'scorched aud the glass broken from the windows. The rest of the train, consisting of one baggage car, one second class and two freight cars, was entirely consumed.

The express messenger saved all his money packages, amounting to §2,000 The mail agent, Curtis Parker, was able to save nothing. There were five or six ladies on the train, besides twenty-five meii, who are entitled to thanks for their efforts in behalf of the train. The men worked hard all night, and at times they were obliged to throw water on thee backs of the men to keep their clothes from bu taing. The cars, however, were burned up in about fifteen minutes. The engine wai a heavy one, of thirty tuns, andlluckilv escaped the fate of the cars.

The Tribune as Physic.

An exceedingly queer story concermng the New York Tribune

was related as a

fact by Rev. Dr. Jessup, in argument for the need of a medical college in Syria. A hakeem, or native doctor, one day came

to him and asked for a few old newspapers, to which appeal he responded by the gift of a few well-worn copies of the

Tribune.

A fortnight after, the grateful-recipient came back to him in wonderful spirits and thanked him most heartily for the gift, inviting him to go and cat grapes and tigs in his vineyard, -saying: "1 thank yon very much for those old journals. There is nothing like them thev have worked wonders for my patients." AVhat was Dr. Jessnp's surprise, on entering the house of the quack to be invited to look into an earthen jar in which these newspapers had been soaked to a pulp in water and then in olive oil, quantities of which astounding mixture had been swallowed by this lellow's credulous patients, with such amazingly beneficial results!

What sort of an arrangement is this Big -Horn Expedition you speak of?" inquired the officer, somewhat amused with the man* '"You a policeman and not know What a big horn is?This expedition, sir,, will comprise men who take big horns, selected from all parts of the country. Disgusted with the mercenary spirit of sa-loton-keepers who discourage big "horns, and temperancf -ocieties'that oppose horns of all dimensions, we are going to set up a cqlony ofoUr own in Wyoming, where every man will be permitted to takd his horn according to the dictates of his own conscience. Some of the biggest men in the country are going Blair, and Chandler, and Yates, and Saulsbury, and Andy Johnson (although he came out at the little end of the norn), and Rev. Charles B. Smytlie, of New York, who takes 'his big horn with milk in it. Won't our horns be exalted, though!" '"You seem tobe pretty well fixed for a start," put in the policeman. "Oh, yes, sir.

Why, blfes you, sir, the drinking men. in Cincinnati don't take enough to keep an elephant alive. An elephant would die on what little they drink." "When do you start?" "When the big horn blows. The expedition has been delayed waiting for 3 large delegation who are in training for it, but who are not quite ready. They are increasing the size of their horns daily, and if they can escape delirium, tremens

they will be 011 hand soon. Every

body can't stand the necessary training, which is very severe." ^'What is the standard of a horn qualifying a man to join the expedition?" •'Six fingers. We let Symthe in on five, being a clergyman. We make a reduction in favor of the clergy but none for the press, as they don't need it. The press, as a general thing, is prepared to join at once, without probation."

The tail end of the Big Horn Expedition was advised to move on quietly and sonnd his big horn ho more on the streets.

Lore-letters Wanted.

A correspondent from West Virginia writes as follows: I want you to print a love-letter and some verses at the bottom in each of my papers, and if you charge anything extra write me and I will send you the money.

George W. Hoover.

It is a number of years, George, since wej tried our hand at a love-letter, but we will do the best we can for you. As the letters will be printed in 110 other paper btoj, the ones we send you, we feel less hesitation about it- than we might if they went in tho entire edition so you see this is between ourselves, and we trust' to you not to let it go any further. Keep these love-letters in the family (with the verses at the bottom), and on no account permit the neighbors to see them. We can't be writing love-letters for every one of our seventy thousand subscribers.

The following being.the first love-letter we remember to have written in something like forty years, you must.excuse us if it fails to come up to the mark. We shall do'better as we get into the work: fcl-FROarCELIA'

late at Sabbath -school. He

would not play hookey, even when his sober judgment told him it was the most profitable thing he could do. None of the other boys could ever make that bov out, he acted so strangely. He wooldn lie, no matter howjeonvenient it wa?. He just said it was wrong to lie, and that was sufficient ibr him. And he was'aqhonest that he was .simply ridiculous. The curious ways that Jocob had surpassed everything. He wouldn't play- marbles on Sunday, he wouldn't rob bird's nest's he wouldn't give hot pennies to organgrinders'monkeys he didn't seem to take any interest in any kind of rational amusement. So the other boys used to try to reason it out and come to an understanding of him, but thfcy couldn't arrive at any satisfactory conclusion as I said before, they could only figure out a sort of vague idea that he was "afflicted," and so they took him under their protection, and never allowed any harm to come to him.

This good little boy read all the Sunday school books they were his greatest delight. This was "the whole secret of it. He believed in the good little boys they put in the Sunday school books he had every confidence in them. He longed to come across one of them alive, once but he never did. They all died before his time, may be. Whenever he read about a particularly good one, he turned over quickly to the end to see what became of him,' because he wanted to travel thousands of miles and gaze on him but it wasn!t any use that good littleboy always died in the last chapter, and there was a picture of the ftmeral, with all bis^ relations and the Sunday school children standing around the grave in pantaloons that were too short, and bonnets that were too large, and everybody crying into handkerchiefs that had as much as a yard and a half of stuff in them. He never couldsee one of those good little boys,, on account of his always dying in the last cbapter.-

Jacob had 0- noble ambition to be put in a Sunday-school book. He wanted to be put in, with pictures representing him gloriously declining to lie to his mother, arid she weeping for joy about it and pictures representing him standing on the door step giving a penny toapoorbeggaridt

woman with six children, and telling her to spend it freely, but not tobe extravagant, because extravagance is a sin and pictures of him magnanimously refusing to-tell on the bad boy who always lay in wait for him around the corner, as he came from scliool, and welted him over the head with a lath, and then chased Jiimhome saying, "Hilhil" as he proceeded. That was the ambition of young

Jacob Blivens. He wished tobe put in a Sunday-School book. It made him a little uncomfortable sometimes ..when lie' reliectod that the good little boys always died. He loved to live, yot) know, and this was the most unpleasant features about being a Sunday-school book boy. He knew it was not healthy to be good. He knew it wa? more fatal than consumption to be so supernaturally good as the boys in the books were he kne.w that nohe of them had ever been able to stand it long, and it pained him to think that if they put him in a book he wouldn't ever see it, or even if they did get the book out before he died, it wouldn't be popular without any picture of his funeral in the back part of it. It couldn't be much of a S uuday-scliool book that couldn't tell abput the advice he gave to the community when he was dying. So, at last, of course, he had to- maTce up his mind to do the best I10 could under the circumstances —to live right, and hang on as long as he cotild, and have his dying speech all ready when this time came.

But somehow, nothing ever went right with this good little boy nothing ever turned out with him the way it turned out with the good little boys in thebooks. Tliey always had a good time, and the bad boys liad.a good time,- and the bad boys had the broken legs but in his case there was a screw loose somewhere, and it all .happened just the other way. When he found Jim Blake stealing apples, and weht under the tree to read to him about the bad littleboy who fell out of a neighbor's apple tree, and broke his arm, Jim fel} out of the tree too, but he fell on

Aim

arm, and Jim wasn't hurt

at all. Jacob couldn't understand that. There wasn't anything in the books like it..

And once, when some bad boys pushed a blind man over in the mud, and Jacob ran to help him up and receive his blessing, the blind man did not give him any blessing at all, but whacked him over the head with his stick and said he would like to catch him pushing him again and then pretending to help him up* This was not in accordance with any of the books. Jacob looked them all over to see.

One thing that Jacob wanted "to do was to find a lame dog that hadn't any place to stay, and was hungry and persecuted, and bring him home, and pet him and liayethat dog's imperishable gratitude. And at last he found one, and was happy and he brought him- home and fed him, but when he was going to pet him,, the dog flew at him and tore all the clothes off him except those that were in front, and made a spectacle of him that was astonishing. He examined authorities, but he could not understand the matter It was of the same breed of dogs that was in the books, but it acted very differently Whatever this boy did, he got into trouble. The very things the boys in the books got rewarded for turned out to be about the most unprofitable things he could invest in.

Qnce when he was on his way to :nday school lie saw^some bad boys star, .ng off pleasuriug in a sail-boat. He was filled with consternation, because he knew from his reading that boys who went jailing on Sunday invariably got drowned. So he ran out on a raft to warn -them, but a log turned with him and slid him into the river. A mau got him out pretty soon, and the doctor pumped tlie water out of him and gave him a fresh start with his bellows, but he caught cold and lay sick abed nine weeks. But the most unaccountable thing about it was that the bad boys in the boat had a good time all day, and then reached home alive and well, in the most surprising manner. Jacob Blivens said there was nothing like tha^e things in the the books. He was perfectly dumbfounded.

When he got well he was a little dis' coiiraged, but he resolved to keep on trying:, anyhow. He knew that so far his experience wouldn't do to go in a book, but he hadn't yet reached the alotted term of life for good little boys, and he hoped to be able to make a record yet, if he could hold on until his time was fully up.' If everything else failed, lie' had his dying speech to fall back on.

He examined his authorities, and found that'it was now time to go to sea as a cabin boy. He called on a ship captain and made his application, and when the captain asked for his recommendation he proudly drew out a- tract and pointed to the words: "To Jacob Blivens, from' his affectionate teacher," But the captain was a coarse, vulgar man, and he said, "Oh, that he blowed, that wasn't any proof that he knew how to wash dishes or handle a slush bucket, and he guessed he didn't want him." This was altogether the most extraordinary thing that had ever happened to Jacob in all his life. A compliftientfrom a tbeacher, on a tract had never failed .to move the tenderest emotions of ship captains and open the way to all offices of honor and profit in their gift—it never had in any book that ever he

had read. -He could hardly be

lieve his senses. This boy always had a hard time of it. Nothing ever came out according to the authorities with him. At last, one day, when he was around hunting up bad little boys to admonish, he found_ a lot of them in the old iron foundry fixing up a little joke on fourteen or fifteen dogs, wliich they had tied together in long procession, and were going to ornament with empty nitro-glycerine cans made fast to their tails. Jocob's heart was -touched. He sat down on one of those cans—for he never minded grease when duty was before him—and he took hold of the foremast dog by tlie collar, turned his proving eye upon wicked Tom. Jones. But just at that moment Alderman McWelter, full of wrath, stepped in. All the bad boys ran away but Jacob Blivens rose in concious innocence, and began one of those stately little Sunday school book speeches, which "tilways commence with "Oh, sir!" in dead opposition to the feet that no boy, good or bad, ever starts a remark with "Oh, sir!" But the Alderman never waited to hear the rest. He took Jafcob Bi vcns by the carjand. turned hini around, and hit ttuu s* whack in the reanriUtthe fi^t o|bislu^««a in^

through the roof and soared away towards* the sun, with the frmgmota of those fifteen dogs stringing aiter him like the. tail of a kite. And thecf wain't a sign of that Alderinair or thaA old iron foundry fcft oa^the face? of tbe eajth \apdLas fir yaan^ JMob'rBliTnL he ne^er gofV dtanee^to^naka his jast. dying gpwch aner aU tro«ibla. fixinf it up, unles^ he made it- to the birds,heeaose, although the bulk of him dime down all right in a tree-top in an adjoining county, the rest of him was apportioned around ami four townships, and so they had to five inquests on him to find opt-whether he was dead br not, and! how it ocoiTed.You never saw a boy scattered so.

Thus perished the-good little boywho did the best he could, but didn't come ont according to the books. Every boy who ever did as he did prospered except him. His case is truly remarkable. It will probably never be accounted for.—The Gkdauy. -1

THE QTTAKEE DETECTIVE.

We were five passengers in all two ladies on the back seat,: a midle^aged gentleman, and a Quaker on the middle, and myself on the front

The two ladies might have been mother and daughter, aunt and niece, governess and charge, and might have sustained any other relationship, which made it proper for two ladies to travel together unattended.

The middle aged gentleman was sprightly and talkative. He soon struck up an acquaintance with the ladies towards whom, in his zeal to do, he rather overdid the agreeable,—bowing and smiling and chattering over his shoulder in a way painfully suggestive at his time ef life, of a "trick" in the trick. He was evidently a gay lothario.

The Quaker wore the uniform of his sect, and confined his speech, as many a parliamentarian would save his credit by doing, to- simple "yeas" and "nays." As for myself, I make it an invariable rule of the road to be merely a lOoker-on arid listener.

Towards evening I was aroused from one of those reveries into which a young man, without being a poet or a lover, will sometimes fall, hy an#abrupt query from the talkative gentleman: "Are you armed, sir?" "I am not," I answered, astonished, no doubt visibly, at the question. "I am sorry to hear it," he replied "for before reaching our next stopping place it will be several hours in the night, and we must pass over a portion of the road on whidh more than one robbery is reported to have been committed."

The ladies turned pale, but the Stranger did his best to reassure them. "Not that I think there is the slightest danger at present," he resumed, only when one is responsible for the safty of the ladies, you know, such a thing as a pistol in reach would materially add to one's confidence." "Your principles, my friend," addressing the Quaker, "I presume, are as much opposed to carrying as to using carnal weapons?" "Yes, was the response. "Have the villains murdered any of their victims?" the elder lady nervously •inquired, -Or have' they contented themselves with—with—plundering them?" added the younger in a timorous voice. "Decidedly the latter," the amiable gentleman hastened to give assurance as none of us are prepared to offer resis tance in ease of attack, so nothing wors than robbery can possibly befall 11s."

Then, after blaming his thoughtlessness in having unnecessarily introduced a disagreeable subject, the gentleman quite excelled himself in efforts to raise the spirits of the company, and had succeed ed so well, by the time night set in, that all had quite forgotten, or only remembered their fears to laugh at them.

Our genial companion fairly talked himself 'hoarse. Perceiving which, he took from his pocket a box of newly-in vented cough candy, and after passing it first to the ladies, "he helped himself to the balance and tossed the paper out of the window.

He was in tlie midst of a high enco mium on the new'nostrum, more than half of the efficacy of which, he insisted depended on its being taken by suction, when a shrill whistle was heard, and al most immediately the coach stopped, while two faces, hideously blocked, presented themselves, one at each window "Sorrow to trouble you," said the man on the right, acknowledging with a bow twojady-like screams from the back seat "but 'business is business,' and ours will soon be over if things go smoothly." "Of course, gentlemen, you will spare, as far as. may be consistent with your disagreeable duty, the feelings of these ladies," appealed the polite passenger, in his blandest manner, "Oh, certainly they shall be first attended to, and shall not be required to leave their places, unless their conduct renders it necessary." "And now, lacfics," continued the robber, the barrel of his pistol glittering in the light of the coach lamp "be so good as to pass your purses, watches, and such other trinkets as may be accessible 'without too much trouble."

The ladies came down handsomely, and were'no further molested. One by one, the rest got out, the middle aged gentlemen's turn coming first He submitted with a winning grace, and was robbed like a very Chesterfield.

My own affairs, like the sum I lost, are scarcely worth mentioning. The Quaker's turn came next. He quietly handed over his pocket-book and watch, and when asked if he had any other valuables, said "Nay."

A Quaker's word is good, even among thieves so after a hasty "goodnight," the robber thrustj his pistol into his pocket, and with his two companions, one one of whom'had lu'.'1 the reins of the leaders, was about dc u-ting. "Stop!" exclaimed the Qnaker, in tone more of command than request. "Stop! what for?" returned the other, in evident surprise. "For at least two good reasons," was the reply, emphasized with a couple of Derringers cocked and presented. "Help." shouted the robber. "Stop!" the Quaker again exclaimed, and if any one of thy sinful companions advance a step to thy relief, the spirit will surely move me to blow thy brains out."

The robber at the opposite window and the one at the leader's heads thought it a good time to leave. "Now get in, friend," said the Quaker, still covering his man, "and take the mid die seat but first deliver tip thy pistol," 2 The other hesitated. "Thee had better not delay feel the spirit begin to move my right fore-finger."

The robber did as he was directed, and the Quaker took his place by his side, giving the new-comer the middle of the seal.

The driver, who was frightened half out of his wits, now set forward at a rapid rate. The lively gentleman soon recovered his vivacity. He was especially facetious on the Quaker's prowess. "You're a rum Qnaker, your are,— Why you don't quake worth a cent." "1 am not a 'Shaking Quaker,' if that's what thee means." "Of the 'Hickory,' rather of the 'Old Hickory' stripe, should say," retorted the lively man. But the Quaker relasping into his usual monosyllables, the conveasation flagged.

Sooner than we expected, the coach stopped where we were to have supper and a cha ngc of horses. We deferred a redistribution of our effects until we should reach this place, as the dim light of the coach lamp would have rendered the process somewhat difficult

It was not necessary, however, that it should be attended to at once, as our jovial companion had previously announced his intention of leaving tis at this point. 'Tie proposed a postponement till after supper, whicn hs offered to go and order. "Nay," urged the Quaker, with an apoach of abruptness, p.nd laying his hand 1 the other's arm,"business before pleasure, and for business there is no time like the present." "Will the be good enough to search the prisoner?" he said to me, still keeping lis hand.Jin a friendly way, on the passenger's arm.

I did so, but not one of the stolen articles could be found. "He must have got rid of them in the coach," the gay gentleman suggested, and immediately offered to go and search. •Stop!" thundered the Quaker, tight* en ing his grasp.

The man turned pale and struggled to release his arm. In an instant one of the Derringers wan leveled at his heart •Stira hand or a foot and you area deati inanU*^.~

-tekes Wtdnlraie pimaeed im^item of milling ^ptatrfiq the"^rtte^ amazemerit of the -Jams, who had- begun, in no measured terms, to remonstrate against the shameful treatment the gentleman was receiving.

The Quaker, I need scarcely add, was no Quaker at ail, but a shrewd detective, .who had been set on the track of a band of desperadoes, of whom our middle-aged friend—who don't look near so middle-

The robbery and Men adroitly planned. The leader of the gang had taken passage in the coach, and after learning, as he supposed, our defenseless condition, had given the signal to his companions by throwing out the scrap of paper already mentioned. Aiter the unexpected capture of the first robber, Jit was attempted to save the booty by secretly passing it to the accomplice, still believed to be unsuspected, who counted on being able to make off with it at the next stopping place-

The result was that both, for a season, "did the State some service." -,r. ..

It—

—doing to Paris to ^Escape the Fashions.

Undoubtedly economy is a leading motive in taking so many American women abroad, for habits there are much less expensive than here, the same articles of dress costing much less, and a far less quantity of them being required. The expenses of young girls there are next to nothing, for a school girl in Europe has neat clothing, but nothing of what we call dress. I met an elegant New York mother in- Paris, who had just got three or four pretty daughters to boarding school there, with no articles in the wardrobe, more showy than the plain black gowns of the regular pattern. Surely a great change from our New York fashions, which bring all the treasures of the dressmaker, milliner, ami sometimes even of the jeweler, to bear upon the pet girl of fourteen or fifteen years who is forced to bloom out into the precocious woman when she should be in the bud of her childhood. Not only is dress less expensive abroad, but, as I said in a previous article', the whole method of living is simpler. The choice here at home is between an expensive house and a hotel or costly boardinghouse. It is difficult, almost impossible, to procure here for a moderate price comfortable apartments free from nuisances and with proper privacy. The moment we go into cheap quarters, we find tbat the nasty goes with the cheap and we are lucky if dirt is the only, bad neighbor. In Dresden, Florence or Paris, nay, even .Rome, we can find good rooms, generally for. a, snlall sum, where we can live and see our friends as readily and independently sis if we owned tlie whole block. I called on two American ladies in Kome in November, far up in the old palace, and found them as much at home, as once, in their own father's house, on the Connecticut, They had their servant to look after their table, and they could have a carriage at any time at the door, to take them to a, concert, or gallery, or chant, or to the (Campagna when they chose, without being troubled by anybody else in the bouse. Here with us those ladies would be held responsible for the whole establishment, and their character and fortune would be mixed up with the whole neighborhood. Such instances explain the fact that so many women go abroad to find frugal living and refined associatiousf at once. There is generally, of course, some man of character to advise theim, yet a banker seems to be a sufficient protection, and it seems to me that sortie of our most accomplished women had learned to take Care of themselves altogether.—Dr-

Wis given at St. James' Hall last evening, the Prince of Wales presided. Among the distinguished guests present were the Duke of Sutherland, Lord Carrington. Lord Lenox, and others. It was understood that Charles Dickens was to be the orator of the evening, but he was obliged to be absent. The Prince of Wales in his speech paid high tribute to the theatrical profession, and closed by urging the claims of the charitable object of the meeting. John Baldwin Buckstone and Dion Bourcicault followed with humorous speeches. The meeting did not adjourn till a late hour. 1 -"'fi •v/i ms- .. -MEMPHIS.

A large number of reports of committees of no general importance, were introduced and laid over.

Memorials from Louisville and St. Louis fn reference to the Book Concern were reported back for action, and after a lengthy discussion, were withdrawn, the Baltimore delegation insisting on its removal to that city, in protracted debate, during which Dr. Bond, of Baltimore, intimated that the Book Concern, was like an old ship, if moved it would fall to lieces, and that its condition would not ear investigation, which was repelled by Drs. Bedford and Greene. The whole question was finally referred to a special committee of nine.

After considerable debate from the committee on education, the following resolution from the minority report was adopted:

Resolved, That we endorse the action of the last General Conference in reference to Biblical chairs in connection with our existing colleges as the best availa* ble means for training young preachers.
