The Second Baptist church of this city was organized in McLeod's school-house, near the navy yard, on June 3d, 1810—Elders Jeremiah Moore, Wm. Grimstead and Robert Latham, of Virginia, being the council, and Bartleson Fox, Clement Boswell, Harvey Bestor, Joseph Bor- rows and Sarah Borrows the orlginal members. After meeting a few months at the school-house they removed to a small frame building near the corner of 4th and G streets southeast, where, in September following, the opening sermon was preached, and in October four pe added by baptism. In i811 Elder Toler, of Vir- ginia, preached once each month, and in Sep- tember there were 23 communicants at the Lord’s supper. In 1814 Spencer H.

The learned author also brings forward many results of the late investigations touching the general subject under discussion, and reaches at least one con- clusion which can hardly fail to be gratifying to the present generation. namely, that the type of christianity now prevailing is as pure and elevating as that which existed during the apos- tolic era,—when the discipline of the church was often imperfect, and the morals of many of its members were far less to be commended than most persons suppose. wl marked throughout by Dr. Farrar’s graphic and glowing style, must take a high and place as an aid to the clear understanding ofthe New Testament. THE LIFE OF MAJOR GENERAL GEORGE H. THOMAS. By THomas B. Vax Horne. U.S.A. New York: Chatles Seribuei's Sons. Washingion: As it is understood that Chaplain Van Horne was General Thomas’ chosen historian ot the Army of the Cumberland, it is reasonable to as- sume that that gentleman's purpose of writing a biography of his beau ideal of a soldier must have been acceptable to therelatives and friends of that noble and distinguished officer, and that the volume before us will be received as an au- thorized and standard exposition of its subject. Tn this view of the case one cannot but wish it had been less of a history and more of a per- sonal biography. The work in the latter respect is fairly well done, as far as it goes, but it does bot give so full and clear a portrait of the man as the world would like to see. ters of history it is, however, of great vaiue, in explaining some points that have not heretofore been fully understood and others that have per- haps been misrepresented or at least not fairly There is a very satisfactory steei- plate portrait of General Thomas for a frontis- piece to the vofume, whose value is still further enhanced by a copious appendix anda number of well engraved maps, which serve to make clear the accounts of battles, etc. THE ODYSSEY ON HOMER magazine, ary number,) will have for its Reason,” instead »" as at first to Mave Mim Amignued to Another Court.

When Mr. Spencer told a triend, who ublican ex-Senator from New York, pay Brady money, Mr. Spencer was asked if he intended to makesuch a statement on the witness stand. Mr. Sj replied that he would have to do so if peared as a witness for the government. “Then you propose to confess having knowledge of a transaction which, if dishonest, makes you a party to this guilt?” said Mr. Spencer's friend. pencer said that he did not think that construction could be put upon his testimony. His understanding was that Brady - was assess- ing Dorsey very heavily, and if that Dorsey had witnesses of the payment of money it would stop further exactions. ‘Brad: isa thief,” said Dorsey to Spencer. you to be a witness of the robbery he practises onme.” Spencer could not explain to hisfriend If into Brady’sclutches, and the more he thought of what he had seen the more discreditable it appeared for him to admit it on the witne: EVIDENCE OF BRADY'S EXACTIONS. But ex-Senator Spencer is not the only per- son who witnessed the payment of money by Dorsey to Brady. ‘There is on file at the Post Office department the report ot a special agent, dated Little Kock, June 14, 1881, which contains the following remarkable statement, obtained at that place by the special agent from well known republican politicians in Arkansa: One day Stephen W.
