FROM OUR SPEOIAL EUROPEAN CORRES
PONDENT.
THE LANGRAM HOTEL,
LONDON, Aug. 17, 1867.
DEAR tEGTOR: I find m — yself f ratabl e i ° tell
you of my visit to the Zoological gardens which
are immense, containing a most valuable collec
tion of living birds from all parts of the globe; of
antelopes, zebras, deer, buffaloes, &c., from North
and South America, India and Africa-of lions,
tigers, hyenas, bears, monkeys; huge rhinoceroses,
elephants, hippopotami in pairs, the latter wading
and swimming incessantly in an artificial lake;
giraffes, young and old; seals snorting and swim
ming actively about in another lake; beavers in
another; serpents without number;—the whole
forming the most valuable collection of living
animals in the world.
Then the British Museum, too, is a world of
wonders. Stuffed birds, of every variety'under
heaven, ten thousand of them, from the tiny
humming-bird to the albatross and the condor;
from the glorious bird of Paradise and the showy
lyre-bird to the homely raven ; all arranged in
cases filling many large halls, until the mind tires
in examining them. Other halls, similarly
crowded with quadrupeds of every variety, from
the tiniest squirrel to the gorilla, from the
smallest mouse to the largest kangaroo, rhinoce
ros or giraffe. Three halls contain fishes in every
variety, with huge sharks, dolphins, and croco
diles upon the walls. The geological halls are
as interesting as it is possible to be; some of the
most striking specimens are those in which the
remains of animals have been found but partially
and the remainder has been made up by scientific
men in plaster casts. The great magatherium is
thus made up with its huge bones 'a foot thick.
An immense tortoise, six or eight feet long and
four or five feet high, with a tail a foot in
diameter. A.deer from Ireland, nine feet high,
is a splendid specimen; also an elephant's head,
with tusks ten or eleven feet long; the ancient
sculpture, the tablets with arrowhead inscriptions
from Assyria ; the Egyptian remains, form a
week's study of themselves The library with
its autograph letters of Calvin, Luther, Melanch
thou, Charles V. of Spain, Henry VIII., Qaeen
Elizabeth, Francis I. of France ; a deed signed
by Shakspeare; the original MS. of Walter
Scott's Kenilworth, and a host of other relics, made
us feel sad at leaving the place, because we could
not spend a week in its walls.
THE YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF
LONDON
Is a live institution. They have rooms in the
centre part of the city, Aldersgate street; not far
from St. Paul's, for the Central Society, with
flourishing branches in different sections. I went
to their rooms on Thursday evening and found
some thirty or forty assembled for prayer in their
upper room. In the main hall they add a sort
of odd to their reading-room, in order to fur
nish tea to their members, and thus to keep them
from the theatres in the evenings. On. Sunday
afternoon they have a dozen Bible classes in dif
ferent sections. That at the main hall had 150
young men present on last Sabbath, who were
attentively enjoying a lesson on the Brazen Ser
pent, under the leadership of their accomplished
president, Mr. W. Edwyn Shipton, who well
knows how to draw the most practical good from
the suliject as it passes. One of the branches is
vigorously pushing on street-preaching, and doing
good. The members oe the parent society num
ber over 4000.
DR. CUMMING
I have had the pleasure of hearing Dr. Cum
ming again. Let me give you a sketch of what
he said, as it was a continuation of the last sketch
I sent you, viz: the nature, claims, and composi
tion of the Word of God. The text was 2 Thess.
iii. I. He said: In examining the-Epistles to
the Thessalonians, you cannot fail to notice how
Paul subordinates all personal interest, all 'his
own aggrandizement, to the great work he has be
fore him, and to the glory of God.'
I
I would remark in the examination of God's
Word we must never fear discussion. I don't
mean discussion on mere ecclesiastical matters,
forms of
the
government, &c., but on the
truths, the vital truths of the Bible. There has
been much discussion on the mere husks of the.
ology, ceremonies and rites, and the less impor
tant the subject, the more fierce has the discus
sion been. Never denounce a man because lae
doubts any of the revealed truth ; but sift, his
doubts ihoroughly and you will find them capable
of being solvbd—all of them. Discussion is like
the billows of the ocean, whose motion tends to
keep the sea pure, while the want of it resembles
the quiet unmoved fire-damp at the bottom of
the mine, deadly as it is still.
In our investigations, let us compare 'the
Writings of Moses with those of Homer. They
both lived about the same time. Homer's wri
tings ,are carefully preserved and are admired
and read by all the literary men of the world.
Lords and chancellors spend their leisure time in
translating them. Now his character of Jove,
his supreme deity, is that of a powerful but bad
being, at, times capricious, foolish, wicked—Juno
pp better, while Mercury was a bloody and wick.
ed deity. Compare all these fine writings about
gods with Moses' sublime description : "A God
merciful and gracious, slow to anger, plenteous in
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1867.
mercy and abundant in goodness and truth," or
with his sublime words, " I am that I am."
Place the shocking impieties and quarrels of Ho
mer's deities, without dignity, without purity,
alongside tliele simple words of Moses. Now
bear in mind that Homer was surrounded with
painters and sculptors of the highest style of art,
with musicians of high culture, while we do not
read of a painter or sculptor in all Israel. Nor
could his musicians be compared to those of
the Greeks. Homer had splendid architecture
all around him, but Moses' tabernacle could not
be compared to the Parthenon. One of Homer's
finest passages is his parting between Hector and
Andromeda. It has been admired the world
over, but compare it with the beautiful, the
touching account of Joseph parting with his bre
thren. The story of Joseph has gone at once to
the heart of every man, of every child. I'll ven
ture to say that if the whol2 story of Joseph were
published for the first time in the year 1867 with
the name of some popular n,ovelist attached,
the literary world of thi‘ nineteenth century
would go into ecstacies over it. Now why allthis
difference between the two writers living cotem
poraneously? bivinity breathes through every
line of the plain writings of Moses. It can't be
denied.
He next considered the fact that forty men
wrote the sixty books, men different in character,
kings, judges, shepherds, herdsmen, tent-makers,
one physician and several,. fishermen; some in
times of prosperity, some under hard tyranny . ,
some in bondage, some under Roman despotism,
They wrote history, poetry, proverbs, prophecies,
and epistles. Yet how marvellously they make
up an unconflictino• whdle.. What a proof of the
inspiration of the writers.
Suppose it was determined to make a fine
statue of some, great benefactor of mankind, and
artists in the capitals of all the nations of Europe
and Asia were employed each' to make a part
and send it in—one a finger, one a thumb, one a
foot, one an ear, &c. Suppose. that when all
these contributions were brought together at the
great Exposition at Paris, all its parts should fit
toge . ther beautifully, harmoniously, and form a
most beautiful statue, one rivalling the highest
productions of art, would it not prove thai some
one presiding mind had planned it all, had ar
ranged all the parts, and to- him was due the
merit of the design ? Just so God's sublime
word. The collection of its parts through the
ages, into one marvellous whole proves its Divine
origin.
Dr. Newinan, beautifully says that the strength
of Protestantism in England is in the hold the
Saion Bible has upon the minds and hearts of
the people,. A most beautiful quotation was then
read fiom thanoman Catholic authority.
The translations of the Bible Were then exam
ined and the Doctor stated his full belief in the
fact that the words of the sacred writers were in
spired as the thoughts. He strengthened the
position by very strong and ingenious arguments,
but want of time forbids our following the inter
esting sermon further. He closed with a beauti
ful allusion to the fact of the Bible now being
circulated in Austria for the first time in five
hundred years ; also in all Italy (save in one
little village, a dirty, filthy town, known by the
name of Rome ;) in Spain, and by over 1000
readers, pastors and evangelists , in France—pro
ving the British and Foreign Bible Society to
be the greatest revolutionists in the world..
I have only given you an imperfect sketch of
a portion of the sermon. The beauty of the
Doctor's style could only b.! givenly fall phono
graphic reports.
We found the Doctor to be a very affable gen
tleman, having a strong love for our country and
hoping some day to visit it, though timid about
crossing the ocean. We assured him of a warm
welcome in America, where his sermons have
been, read *with more interest, I believe, than in
England, for the Doctor seems surprised that we
should know him so well and hunt him out so
persistently , .
It was with pain that we bide adieu to our
good friends Rev. E. P. Hammond and his esti
mable lady. They go to Guernsey near the Isle
of Wight where a series of meetings is being held.
Mr. H. has engagements for so many months
ahead, that I sometimes fear we may never see
him again in America. His labors meet with
surprising success, everywhere, and his books are
sought with so much avidity that five or six edi
tions of some of .thern have been consumed in a•
few weeks' time. May God bless him, abundant
ly and assist him in his incessant labors.
The. American style of singing which he intro
duces is quite a feature. They know nothing of
sprightly tunes here, either in congregational or
Sabbath-school singing. Such doleful tunes as'
we.often hear in. Europe would put our. Ameri
can people to sleep, but while Mr, liammend
tells them of Jesus he awakens a new interest in ;
the singing which will be of •value to them for
years to come, we think.
Yours, G. W. M.

THE OHAMPLArIi VALLEY.
HT HEY. I. F. HOLTON, lIMITIE MAIDEN, MASS
I lately took a journey from Boston in a north
western directiOn. Passing over the southwes
tern corner of New Hampshire, I entered Ver
mont by a %ridge over the grand leap of the
Connecticut river at Bellow's Falls. We grad
ually entered the Green Mountains. At Ludlow
we passed the spot where an explosion drove a
tamping-iron, more than an inch in diameter,
through a man's head. It entered at his chin
and passed through the brain and out 'of the
crown. I was on the spot soon after, had since
seen the bar in the museum of the Medical Col
lege at Boston, and now learned from a passenger
who here took the train, that the man is still liv
ing with a sound mind. Seven, miles more of
the puffing of the engine brings us to Summit
station just, past, the summit of the Green Moun
tains, and a few rods from there the bones of in
elephant were founil in building the road.
' At this place the fire in the engine is stopped.
The train would run by its own weight to Rut
land, eighteen miles. Steam enough is, saved to
start the trains at the stops. Five miles down
the hill we see the considerable village of East
Wallingford where ten years ago we recollect but
a single house. Cheap lumber, water-power and
industry has made the place. Four miles fur
ther, at Cuttingsville we see high on the right
the red debris of, copperas works. The owners
of this deposit own also the richer one of Strat
ford, near the Napanont Central Railroad. Either
would supply the market so that only one is
worked. Three miles further, at Clarendon, you
are near • a " mineral" spring, the waters of
which differ from most others in being almost
absolutely pure.
Rutland stands on an arm of the Champlain val
ley, where Otter creek enters it. Six miles fur
ther, where this makes a grand descent at Suth
erland Falls, it really enters the valley.
. y Here
beoln those arbre.works that abound realong the
latter valley.
The valley is a remarkable one in many re
spects. It is a trough between the steep slopes
of the Green and . Adirondack mountains.' The
lake lies close by the foot of the last, but at its
southern end is compressed to the proportions of
a river by_mountains on the east also. It is
floored with marble, mostly white, which is seen
cropping out in meadows, looking from the hill
tops like snow-banks. So level is it that for some
twenty miles (air lice), the creek is navigable by
the little steamer Valley Queen. A sudden rise
of the creek, sometimes sets back some of its af
fluents for a dozen miles, carrying the rail fences
up-sti-eanz._ TligtMspetiially true of the Lemon
Fair. It is a lczmeitable affair that no One knows
the origin of its name. A man was drowned in
it : a grist of corn was lost in it : some women
who feared that they would have trouble in
crossing, voted it a "lamentable affair :" so the
stories vary. I would suggest, that its name be
sought in some barbarous French for miry -cross
ing or mud-ferry.
Enterprise seems as dead as the streams. The
soil very fertile and easy to be tilled but the
fields look rough and much land is covered with
bushes. Yet•here is the best spot for the four
great_staples of Vermont, described. by Saxe as
follows :
.V
"The first are pfrong ; the third are fleet;
The other two are very sweet ;
And all the four are hard to beat."
He refers to 'men, women, horses and maple
sugar. But farmet-s who can sell sheep and horses
at from $3OOO to ssooo,each are not anxious to
subdivide their farms nor very eager in working
them. Extensive water-power is not needful to
Black-hawk horses or Infantado sheep. At Ver
gennes it is abundant and unfailing, with water
transportation to Bew York without breaking
bulk, and also railroad facilities : population
1,286. Above, at Belden's Falls, there isr a large
fall neat a railroad with excellent marble within
bow-shot, but there is no house near it nor any
road to it. Middlebury boasts a county-seat, a
college and a railroad, is surrounded by a rich
country but the water-power is but partly used.
The college is Sixty seven years old : a great
number of its graduates are among the leading
men of the country, but six only graduated this
year. Of these, four lived near the college and
one of the others, a missionary's son, lives with
his relatives in Middlebuly. But the students
are mostly farmers' sons, and go to work with a
will that carries them above all the defects of
their college training. There is great activity of
mind among the Population. Cornwall bad at
tained in 1860 a total population of 977: it had
sent into the ministry 28 men born there, besides
seven more who came to the place in boyhood;
- and 48 had graduated in colleges. GoVernor Slade
and Senator Foot were natives of that small
town.
But let us cross the lake. Just where it
widens and near the ruins of the old fortification
of Crown Point is Port Henry, crowded on the
hill-side. The.mountains above are full of iron,
and . few gold or silver mines are of more value.
A Californian who was told how many dollars'
worth had - been taken from a hole in a hill-side
said he had seen no excavation of its size that
had yielded an equal value of gold. Some of
the mines are worked in broad 'day=light:' 'We
leok Upon them as upon' the motions of a
man's brain when the skull has been removed.
All the operations of mining can be watched at
a distance safe above the blasts. Not such a
visit had I, years ago, when on the spur of the
moment four of us (two ladies) went down an
inclined plane into a deep dark mine.
.9ur .. 0n1y.,
occupation there was to find safe refuge from the
blasts. It was but the next day after our visit
that the rope by which we were drawn up parted
when lowering the empty bucket, which was
dashed in pieces at the bottom. The ore from
many of theininai is sent off up the lake to dis
tant furnaces which need it to mix with ores of
a different, composition. The loads, drawn by
two horses, are enormous, reaching a maximum of
ten tons of 2240 pounds each—twice the ordi
nary load. , •
Port Henry has, a. double furnace using an
thracite coal and the hot blast. Although a ma
jority of its inhabitants are Romaniste, it has a
fine new public school building. But to me, its
most interesting institution is its Presbyterian
church of- , which Rev. Cyrenius Ransom, resi
ding in the village of Moriah, has been the only
stated ..supply... At the last meeting of the Socie
ty a motion to employ him another. year, was,lost.
It is the hope of the Church' that its Head will
send, then! a permanent and resident pastor. To
suelLthe owners-of the furnace will extend lib
eral• aid whieh they have refused to Bro. R., be
cauie of his pork-residence: Whoever will make
the place a visit will he delighted, and he to
whom. the oversight of this, small but important
church shall be given, will feel that the lines have
fallen unto him in pleasant places. The people
are - cordial, the scenery magnificent . and the
drives beautiful. Above, all there is . much land
to be pes,se,ssed—a hard-working people to be led
to Christ. •
PROM OUR OHICAGO CORRESPONDENT.
Many friends will ,sympathize with the venera
ble Secretary Eastmin, of the American Tract
Society, whose son, Mr. B. F. Eastman, died
very unexpectedly atiDabuque, lowa, on Friday
last. Mr. Eastman was an earnest laborer in the
cause, to which his honored father has, devoted
forty years or more of his life. During the war,
he served the Tract Society and Christian Com
mission, among the soldiers of the armies, of the
Potomac. At its close, he transferred his servi
ces to the North-west, where, with characteristic
enthusiasm, he labored for a year and a half in
promoting the diffusion of an evangelical litera
ture among its people. Arrested about a month
beforp his death, by what he supposed to be but
a temporary illness he rapidly declined; yet,
till, near the end of his sickness, confidently look
ed forward to a speedy resumption of his chosen
work. Only five days before his death I called
upon him, and found him sitting up and dressed
'as usual, and full of plans for the prosecution of
his designs. The grief of his parents over what
I understand to be the first break in the family
circle, will be greatly mitigated by, the knowledge,
that if he has not lived long he had lived use
fully, and has, doubtless, heard the welcome of
his Lord, " Well done, good and, faithful ser
vant." Thousands• of soldiers will remember
him as a devoted friend, and many households
will recall his kind and sympathizing letters
written from bloody battle fields and hospitals,
where their loved ones received his brotherly
ministrations. Over the signature of. B. F. E.,
he often sent through the local papers tidings to
distant homes of their boys in tile field, and many
papers over the land will hear no more from their
correspondent " B. F. E."
UNITARIAN CONVENTION
The Unitarians of the Northwest held this
week their Annual Convention in Chicago. As
many as 150 delegates are said to be present.
Rev. Alfred P. Putnam, of Brooklyn, N. Y.,
preached the opening sermon, from, the words,
"For my yoke is easy,'and my burden is light."
This he demonstrated after the peculiar manner
of "liberal Christianity." Certain it is that
this burden and this yoke are made exceedingly
easy and light by the vast majority of "liberal
Christians." It was satisfactorily proved by the
Rev. orator that the creed of orthodoxy was
" opposed to the life of the world;" while Albert
Barnes was made to testify to the , terrible influ
enceon the heart and feelings of a belief in the
doctrines of evangelical churches.
Judging from the reports of the delegates, the
denominational interests of the body cannot be
said to be in a flourishing condition,—especially
its "missionary" enterprises. Liberal Chris
tians appear to be more free with the doctrines
of the New Testament than with theirmoney.
However, as '‘ orthodoxy" appears from the ser
mons and addresses to be the chief, if not the
only enemy to liberal Christianity, and as it is
fast vanishing from the belief of its professors,
even the disciples of the more agreeable faith
may be excused if they do not expend their
money for the propagation of their religion.
The Convention appears to be having a " good
time generally," the " social features of the oc
casion predominating very largely over the devo
tional."
DEDICATION
The dedicatory eliercises of the new edifice of.
Plymouth Congregational church, at the corner
of Walnut avenue and Eldridge ; Court, took
place on Sabbath week:: The building is one of
the finest and most complete of - iiirmerous
fine church edifices. The m tin audien-e room is
681x90, and seats 1000 persons, exclusive of the
gallery, and is not only one of the largest, but
one of the handsomest auditoriums in the city.
The self-sacrificing and unflagging spirit ex
hibited by this congregation in bringing to a
successful termination their arduous enterprise i s
beyond praise, and they may be pardoned for a
good deal of pride in their beautiful and com
modious house.
REAL ESTATE
In Chicago is just now kiting fearfully. Any
eastern parties holding property here on specula
tion, will do well to make a note of the present
inflation. • ,A very large sale of both improved
and unimproved city property, at public auction,
on Thursday last realized astonishing prices.
lffigigito kiddlignut
Universalist—Of the - recent annual Conventio n
of this body, one of their own papers says:—" W e
have never yet attended a Convention in which
there was so much fault finding. The denomina
tional Press, the Ministry, and the Canton School
were taken to task in no measured'terms. The Press
quarrels over, the matter of getting each the other's
Subscribers, discus§es minor point' of doctrine, and
so incites division; passett judgment on political
matters, in regard to which toleration is harmless ;
but it has done little or nothing Tor the specific work
of the Convention. The ministers neglect that work.
Only eleven the past year have paid the least atten
tion to the ; financial R,a,118 of the Convention Board
(amounting to $lOO all told). The request that
blanks forthe return of statistics should be filled,
has been very generally unheeded.-- The conduct of
the ministers, in this regard, was pronounced "dis
graceful," meriting strong censure: - 'The Canton
School was , sharply and repeatedly censured for
sending out, in some cases, ministers whose only
work seems to be to sow the seeds of infidelity, and
destroy our Societies. The offending Press had no
defender. The ministers defended themselves."
There was a great deal of opposition to having any
preaching during the Convention as a waste of time.
The report on education showed that they have
thirteen Schools and $1;500,000 invested therein.
Tufts College is the pet institution of the New
England brethren. It is worth $850,000. Its only
want is scholari3. It lacks venerable age, but it has
the freshness of youth. A Divinity School in con
nection with the College, is in contemplation. It
will be opened the ensuing summer. Dean Academy
building is rapidly progressing. It ; will cost $lOO,OOO.
The statement that Dr. Dean has promised to add
to his • already great gift, $50,000, if the brethren
will come forward arid liquidate its existing claims,
received the applause of the Council.
The report complained that the denomination had
too many eons and 'daughters in Orthodox Schools.
With , the truths of,tedence, they are getting the
poison of error.
The report of the Trustees showed that twelve
applications for aid:from churches engaged in build
ing had been received. Four applications . have been
granted—Others are deferred; and $4,000 have been
appropriated: Especial efibrta have been made to
proeure -funds for the Society in Wilmington, and
$4,000 have been raised—the money goes for the
church edifice. Help to students in the Divinity
School arnounie to •$2;61.0. The sum received for
Missionary purposes during the year is $5,015.91.
The report on the state of the Church says:—
About thirty churches have been built several have
been remodeled. At least twenty are now in the
course of construction. Within the year, probably
forty new Societies have come into existence.
Whether any have ceased to exist, we do not learn.
We have wit been equally successful in regard to the
increase of minittersin all ; there. cannot be name!
more than a dozen. Only five ordinations are re
ported. Death has been unusually busy. There
seems to be very little Universalism in the South.
There are two feeble Societies in Alabama, both
preached to by the same minister. Our cause has
but.little formal recognition in foreign lands.
The report expresses regret that iu some quarters
there is a scepticism as to the importance of many
of the truths deemed fundamental in our faith. Ac
cordingly the following was proposed, and after a
debate in the Convention adopted: Resolved That
in order for one to be a Christian minister, or a
member of a Universalist Church, he or she shall
believe in the Bible account of the life, teachings,
miracles, death and resurrection of our Lor d
esni
Christ, and any interpretation of the Winchester
Confession of Faith that makes it compatible with
a denial of that account is a false one.
It was in accordance with the spirit of this resolu
tion, doubtless, that the delegates from the organ
ization in West Virginia, and the Vermont Cham
plain Liberal Conference were declared not in the fel
lowship of the Convention, and excluded from the
sittings.
• The following were appointed a Committee to
make arrangements for the proper celebration of
the Centenary :—Hon. Israel Wash burn e, Me.; Rev.
Dr. Ryder, 111.; Rev. Richard Eddy, Penn.; Eon.
Horace Greeley, N. Y.
MISSIONARY
India.—The deline of the Juggernaut idol festi
val is attracting attention. A late letter to the
London Times says:—.ln 1864 you recorded how one
of the cars ran over six worshippers, killing four.
This year the crowds were much less than usual,
and consisted chiefly of women and children. One
of the two cars was not dragged at first. because the
people would not assist in an act generally con
sidered as givingsalvation, and the priest actually
addressed a petition to the magistrate for assistance.
Of course the magistrate refused, and finally
the evil omen was averted, and the priest's pockets
filled, when the car was dragged a little distance
after heavy expenditure. It is a ponderous erection
on ten. pairs of wheels, each made of one enormous
piece of wood. Ttie'painted block which does date
for Juggernaut is in a tower on the top, and the
other turrets are filled with priests, who clang cym
bals, strike bells, beat drums, blow conch-shells, and
infuriate or amuse the people with obsCene exhorta'
tions in a truly devilish fashion.
The famine in Orissa continues, and the people
are wholly dependent on charity; the Government
is now feeding a fourth of the population. Starva
tion. has thus ceased, but the orphans have to be
provided for, and an appeal to the benevolent has
been . Issued on their behalf.
