    most influential organs of the French press,
among tham ;the Journal des Debate, have
made this remark : "Austria clerical (that
is to say, Popish), she must either undergo a
change or die; she can no longer exist as she
is
HOW FOREIGN PAPISTS VIEW THE LATE
VICTORIES OF PRUSSIA.—There is an article
in the Ultramontanist Journal, the _Monde of
paris, of some interest. It states what must
be the result, as regards Rome, of the over
throw of Austria. "No State will remain
depending upon the Vicar of Jesus Christ."
All will have abjured the official character of
the Catholic , faith. The mass of the Catho
lics in France, Spain, and Germany, will let
fall the throne of Pio Nono, that visible sign
of the Catholicity of the nations. If Austria
be vanquished, " she will close the Catholic
cycle of modern people." This is probably a
true anticipation. The old Catholic ideal of
Church and State is likely soon to be but an
id e a—the terrible ecclesiastical tyranny that
has so long oppressed Christendom for ever
disappeanng. And the paper says :—There
are not wanting zealous Protestants in Berlin
and elsewhere who take a grim interest in the
fact that by the defeat at Sadowa the House
of Hapsburg " met its doom" on the very
ground where, some 250 years ago, Ferdinand
11. so ruthlessly stamped out the Protestant
ism and the freedom of Bohemia. Itis said,
indeed, that a Berlin pastor of Fank predicted
the victory on that field a fortnight before the
ev ent. After the battle of Weissenberg, in
1020, the Emperor systematically labored to
extirpate the new religion and its professors.
GERMANY
THERE has been a considerable develop
ment of Christian charity in behalf of the
moral and spiritual interests of the Prussian
soldiers during the recent war, as appears in
the subjoined extract from the correspondence
o f Evangelical Christendom. And yet its
proportions are trivial compared with the
immense number of men under arms, and the
sanguinary character of the conflict. Per
haps, if the war had endured, as did ours, a
German Christian Commission might have
been brought into existence of something
like American dimensions. The correspond
ent says:—" Different associations have been
formed for assisting, by free dontributions,
the official chaplains of regiments and divi
sions in the army. The Government has
eagerly seconded these efforts of individual
piety; and many free preachers have offered
their services for this object. Then, more
over, the order of the Knights of St. John,
created at Berlin in the reign of the preced
ing monarch, has caused to be prepared for
our wounded and sick soldiers several laza
rettos, containing altogether more than 400
beds. In addition, the members of this
order have, individually, and at their own
expense, placed above 200 other beds at the
service of the same cause. The establish
ments of deaconesses at Berlin, Kaisers
werth, Breslau, and Konigsberg, have also
devoted to this sacred work the services 1 / 4 of
all their disposable deaconesses, to the num
ber of nearly thirty. And the House of Dea
cons of Duisburg has sent thirty of its
brethren to the fields of battle, to the assist
ance of the wounded. The establishments of
the Rauhen-liaus, near Hamburg, have not
remained behind in this holy crusade of
charity. We must not forget to add, that
the depots of the British and Foreign Bible
Society at Berlin, Cologne and Frankfort, are
abundantly supplying the armies with the
Holy Scriptures by- the agency of numerous
colporteurs whom they send thither."
VALUBLE STATISTICS OF CHURCHES AND
POPITLATION.—In Saxony, the following are
the numbers belonging to the different
churches :—The entire population, at the end
of 1864, was 2,343,994; of these, 2,279,052
belong to the Lutheran Church ; 47,441 to
the Romish Churches; 5239 to the Reformed
Church ; 599 to the Greek Church ; 357
were English or Americans; 1964 Jews;
1108 so-called German Catholics, or Free
Associationists. The population of Hano
ver, at the end of 1865, was about 2,000,000 ;
of these 1,584,767 were Lutherans; 98,010
Reformed ; 226,009 Roman Catholics ; 12,-
424 Jews; and 2282 members of various other
sects. According to the most recent esti
mates, there are 3,324,000 Protestants; that
is, 2,050,000 Reformed, and 1,274,000 Luth
erans in Austria. The increase during the
last 185 years is said to have been no greater
than 5 per cent. In 1565 there were in Bo
nds 41 Protestant churches, or communities
with 62,968 souls. Eighty-one conversions of
Protestants to the Catholic Church, and 177
of Catholics to Protestanism. In all, there were
44 schools; 11 communities had no schools at
all, In Moravia there were 21 churches,
with 19 pastors and 35,469 souls ; and there
took place 308 marriages, 1298 births, and
1061 deaths, 25 conversions to Catholicism,
and 36 to Protestanism. It is pleasing to
find, says the correspondent of the Christian,
Work, that despite the difficulties placed in
the way of conversions to Protestantism, and
the facilities afforded for passing over to Ca
tholicism, the conversions to the former are
decidedly in the majority, both in Bohemia
and Moravia, In both lands there are num
bers who would, probably, return to the reli
gion of their fathers if they were freed from
the pressure of the Romish Church. In
proof of this,
I may mention that, when de
scendants of the exiled Hussites, or Mora
vian and Bohemian Brethren, pay visits,
especially to Prague and its neighborhood,
they are received with extraordinary interest,
even by Romanists.
STATISTICS OF THE PurEsmooD.—Accords
lag to a Roman Catholic journal published in
Mayence, there are at present 31000 monks
and nuns connected with the Romish Church,
distributed as follows :—Monks, 50,000 Fran
ciscans; 16,000 School Brethren; 8000 Jes
uits, etc. The Female Orders comprise
about 190,000 members, of which 162,000 are
in Europe alone; in France, 10,000; in
Italy, 30,000; in Belgium, - 10,000 in Ger
warty, 8000; in Spain, 7000; in England,
4000; in Switzerland, 1340; in Poland and
Hungary, respectively, 1000 •, in America,
2 0,000; Asia, 4000; and in. Africa and Aus
tralia, 1000. They are divided into the fol
lowing orders :—Sisters of Mercy, (Vincen
tan,) 28,000 ; Franciscan Sisters, 20,000 ;
School Sisters, 20,000; Sisters de Sacre
Cron; 10,000.
ITALY.
The energies of the people seem absorbed
to a great degree by the importance of the
straggle and the changes likely to follow its
conclusion. The Christian offices so much
heeded by the soldiers have not been forgot
tea by the Waldenses. The correspondent of
Evangelical (Aristendomsays:—Considering
the number of Evangeliei who have taken
Part in the war, Dr. Revel, as President of
the Commission of Evangelization of the
Waidensiau Church, applied to Baron Rica
soli for permission to have some of their min
isters recoguized as chaplains, so that they
might have free access to the hospitals. The
Prinle m N.l ister immediately sent the appli
cation to the War-office, no doubt with a re
quest that it should be attended to, for an
eticial reply was immediatel fowarded by
the Minister of War to Dr. Re y
vel, r intimating
that the request was granted. The pastors
41 ed the right in Milan, Brescia, Tu
rin and Guastalla, to attend the wounded in
those cities. The students in the Theologi
cal College had also organized for field ser
vice. But Government permission had
scarcely been accorded them for the exercise
of these blessed privileges whea the war was
arrested.
DENIAL OF A PLACE OF INTERMENT—
FIRM AND FRIENDLY ATTITUDE OF RlCA
soli.—ln years past the Evangelici in. Tus
cany had to suffer much annoyance from refu
sal on the part of the priests to allow them
to bury their dead in the Campo Santo of
the parish where they died, and negligence
on the part of the Italian Government in
not providing Protestant cemeteries. At
length, some three or four years ago, orders
were issued that the Municipal Councils of all
the towns should provide, alongside the Cam
po Santo, a cemetery for the Protestants,
and it was hoped that the question was set
tled forever. In Tuscany they know fa
mously how to avoid the law, and none better
than some of the authorities when it suits
them. In this instance of neglecting to pro
vide a burying ground, none have stood more
conspicuous than the municipality of Flor
ence. The matter has heen brought to a
head by the refusal of the parish priest of
Signa to allow a Protestant lady to be buried
in the Campo Santo there, though the law
provides that such shall be done when no
separate cemetery has been set apart. The
syndic of this small town was absent, so M.
G-eymonat, the Waldensian pastor of Flor
ence, telegraphed to Cantelli, the prefect of
the province, to have the law put in force '
•
but this gentleman took no notice of the
telegram, refused to see messengers whom
M. Geymonat sent to him, as he could not
leave Signa himself, and after waiting in vain
for two days he was, at last obliged to have
the body conveyed across the country about
seven miles to Sesto, where there is a small
cemetery for the Evangelici. The people of
that town rose at once against the body of a
Protestant being sent from another commune
to be buried in theirs ; missiles of all sorts
were thrown at the coffin and at M. Geymo
nat, and with difficulty he was able at last to
accomplish his melancholy duty. Immedi
ately on his return to Florence, be wrote
directly to Ricasoli, informing him of what
had occurred, and complaining that the laws
were not put in force in Tuscany. The pre
fect was not long in hearing of the matter in
a way that quickened his motions wonderful
ly. He has published a decree, making
proper arrangements for the decent inter
ment of Protestants hereafter ; and thus, for
the third or fourth time, Ricasoli has seen
iustice done to the Vaudois; not because he
shares their opinions, but because he is de
termined to have the laws faithfully adminis
tered.—Evangelical Christendom.
GENERAL CONCLUSION.—The Italian re
verses have been eagerly seized on by the
priest party to foment reactionary intrigues.
But they have had no success, and we should
think that the result must have satisfied the
most bigoted among them of the hopelessness
of their cause. How little the Italian au
thorities are afraid of them may be inferred
from the fact, that coincident with the warhas
been the urging on the measure for the seiz
ure and confiscation of the convent revenues.
These measures are in great part due to the
new Minister, Baron Ricasoli, who may not
have the suppleness and adroitness of Cavour
or Bismark, but who is equal to either in his
perception and his resolute will. The Evan- -
gelicals in that country owe him much. No
one pretends that he favors their religious
opinions ; but he is animated by a cold, stern
spirit of impartial justice, and again and
again he has made trimming prefects and
fanatical priests know and respect the law.
It is to be hoped that he will bring his honesty
and determination of purpose to bear upon
the perpedutors of the massacre of Barletta.

DENMARK.
A correspondent of Evangelical Christen
dom, says :—The religious awakening con
tinues, although the religious and believing
form, as yet, but a very small minority, and
many parts of our country present, spiritual
ly, but a very gloomy aspect. The awaken
ing continues to be a fruit of the believing
ministry of the Church, and almost all the
believers are on the friendliest terms with
the believing clergy. The awakening is
greatly aided by an excellent Home Mission
ary Society. The progress made by this
society may be deemed very great, when
regard is had to the smallness of our country;
its receipts for the last year were about 7001.,
and its Home Missionary Journal (Indre Mis
sions tidende) circulates about six thou
sand copies, something quite unheard
of amongst us. Two of the directors of
the society, Rev. W. Beck and J. Clausen,
made, last autumn, a missionary tour in Jut
land, and held numerous and crowded meet
ings, which were a blessing to the parishes
where they took place. Many home mission
ary meetings have been held by these and
other ministers in churches, schools, barns,
and the open air. The Home Missionary
Society has twenty or thirty colportenrs, who
have each their districts in which they visit
believers and unbelievers, and sell books and
tracts. They are all peasants, and have but
one or two shillings a-day. The Home
Missionary Society gains more and more
ground, and almost all believing people,
principally amongst the peasants and com
mon people, rally around it, the ultra-Grun
dtvigians excepted.

H. S. FISHER'S PATENT SELF-SEALING
PRESERVING CAN.
This celebrated Can has been used by thousands for
the last five years, and all who have used it speak in
the highest terms of its superior merits.
We venture to assert that it is more reliable . , more
convenient, and possesses more practical merit than
any other can in use. It is sealed and unsealed with
the greatest ease, a merit of which it particularly
boaats.
All Cans warranted that are put up according to
directions. For sale by the Manufacturer at' is old

SIMMER COMPLAINT AND DYSEN
TERY.
Bowel complaints seem just now to be the prevailing
element, and any medicine that is everywhere accept
able, and that is reliable, is a very desirable acquisi
tion. From what we have seen, heard and experienced.
we believe Davis's Pain Killer is this desideratum.
For the best method of using it, we quote from the
directions:-
"For common bowel complaints give one teaspoon
ful in a gill of new milk and molasses, in equal parts
stirred well together•' lessen the dose for children,
according to the age. If the pain be severe, bathe the
bowels and back with the medicine. This mode of
treatment is good in cases of the choleramorbus, sud
den stoppages, &e. Repeat the dose every hour.
" The quickest way I ever saw a dysentery cured
was by taking one spoonfal of the Pain Killer in one
gill of milk and molasses stirred well together and
drank hot, at the same time bathiug the bowels freely
with the medicine. Let the dose be repeated every
hour, until the patient is relieved."
If every person who has reason to fear this disease,
would provide themselves with a bottle of this medi
cine, and use as occasion required, we believe a great
amount of suffering and sickness would be saved.
1057-3 t
More Sorrow, Suffering and Death are
the result of Indigestion and Dyspepsia than from all
other known diseases. COE'S DYSPEPSIA CURE
is a sure and immediate remedy. It will stop distress
after eating as soon as you take it.

READY IN SEPTERBER
THE NEW
SABBATH HYMN AND TUNE BOOK,
WITH DIFFERENT TUNES•
The high appreciation of the Sabbath Hymn Book,
and its wide introduction by the churches, about one
thousand of which now have it in use in one or other
of its forms, have encouraged the publishers to still
further efforts to increase its usefulness, by furnish
ing it in different editions, and especially in connec
tion with tunes which shall be adapted to various
tastes.
The Sabbath Hymn and Tune. Book as originally
published, furnishes an edition of the work with tunes
which are generallyvery plain and simple in rhythm
and melody, and meets the wants of those who regard
slush tunes, and such only, as well adapted to Con
gregational singing. It is in use in nearly six hun
dred churches. The new edition, now announced, is
designed to furnish the Hymns in connection with
the tunes of a diffeieat character. The aim in its
preparation has been to make the most complete
collection possible of all these tunes which have
proved most popular in use throughout the country.
It does not present any new tunes, but brings to
gether from all sources such tunes as have been most
attractive and successful in use. In preparing the
original edition, after collecting together the popular
tunes, such as were believed to be too difficult or
otherwise unadapted to the congregational singing
were thrown out. In the new book no such discrinsil
nation is made. but the test for admission of any tune
has been simply its Popularity.
Hereafter, therefore, there will be two editione of
the Sabbath Hymn Book with tunes, viz:
THE SABBATH HYMN AND TUNE BOOK, with
plain Tunes.
THE NEW SABBATH HYMN AND TUNE BOOM

The undersigned from the first aimed at, secured,
and now, to the greatest possible extent, retains an
extraordinary selectness of patronage by which, from
previous home cult ivation, all punishments, threats,
harsh langnage, and intimidation are rendered en
tirely unnecessary-
Love, advice, and everything else embraced in the
unjustly ridiculed term, Moral Suasion," produce
as much order, industry, contentment, affection, and
devotion as can be desired, and far more than can be
secured by any other means.
The former pupils have had, to an unusual extent,
their aspirations so raised. and their minds so culti
vated as to attain to the highest honors in college,
and to the first places in business.
Visitors are at all hours welcomed. They will find
no staring. no shyness, no idleness, no whispering in
the school-room—the perfection of order and good
recitations. They will find on the ball grounds no
teasing, no vulgar language, no use of tobacco, no
thing whatever objectionable; and with this inno
cence they will observe the fullest flow of youthful
affection and joyousness.
Small boys of seven, eight, and nine years of age, a
mostimportant period for great results, from Arch
and Pine sts., and the streets between them, and from
Green street and its neighborhood, will be sent for in
the morning and sent home at the close of a happy
day spent in the country air• The health of small
boys, instead of being impaired by overtasking, is
greatly improved by frequent and well-timed recrea
tion. The kind attentions and good examples of the
young men and youth are of great advantage to their
younger companions. The Seminary is fortunately
situated near the convergency of the railway over the
Wire Bridge with the railways over Market street
and Chestnut street bridges, so that, from the Schuyl
kill, it is reached in a few minutes, and in about the
same time by each line. It is surrounded by ample
grounds, which are beautifully shaded and adorned
in some parts, and in others stretch out into extensive
lawns, suitable for our national game of baseball, and
for other amusements.
