We vust not forget, however. a pair ot wide-bowed horn yectacies which divided their time between the top of devenerable head, aud the bridge of an indepsudently cocked-up nore, thereby adding not a listle to tre gro- ‘tesqueness of this somewsat unelerical tout ensemble. This picturesque individual held forth for some time on the lack of attention exhibited by his con- gregation to the Ten Commandments in general, and te the minister in particular. He then pro- ceeded in the following strain of indignant elo- quence:— Yes, my sin-stricken brethren and sisters, thar Lord only snows how l’m to bring tais hyar congregation ou: of the gau of bitterness and the Douds of iniquity: whar’s the sense of my wrastiin’s in prayer? whar’s the good of my groavin’s in sperit? whar’s the ‘use in my ridin’ dows byar every Lord’s day mornin’, an’ thar corderoy mighty bac 1, to try an’ save these hya: sinners trom the brimatcnt sod fire as is to come’ whar’s the sense I bay, my bretberip’ for I tell yeou all, an’I jest allow that ther Lord knows it too, that thar’s some of yeou asettin’ hyar, that dance out at thar toes in = week, sli toar reingivn that thar minister kin hammer inter toar beads, \¢: alone thar hearts, with prar meetin’s, and preachin’, and singin’ of psaims, through a ‘boi! yearround.

Mr. Brewnton p aid a visit to the Shawnee Manual Labor school, in “ the Shawnee Reserve,” of which he gives rather a favorable account. He mentions some facts of interest in connection with the train- ing of the Indian children:— ‘The oumber of children at present under instruction in toe Manual Labor School ia about forty of both sexee ‘among these are some half adeven Wyancots, and one paboe. Some of these children are orphans, placed ‘thelr guardians; others have paren reviding meet! wever ther’ Are! ner u 4 Keserve.

Their instruc‘or aseures us that They wil compare favorably, in menial capacity, with the same number of orduary, every day, non-precomons children at the North. They speak, a#'a general taing, no | ge but their own upon entering tue school; the first care of their instructor /: fore, to teach them , theref Fogich; this they soon, Jearn 10 speak well, though « ight, yet not unpleasant accent seems in almost every cave to betray their foreign birth. As children, they are jayful out of doors, romping with each other in very un- Ficlan like style, while in scucol they appear to oe quite os mischievous as the offspring of the pale face. If they misbehave, the system of discipline is nearly the same as that formerly in vogue in New bogland. They do not however, care much for any species of ponishanent, save that of the rod, ® peculiarity which fs appreciated by their teacher, who isa firm believer in that portion of the wisdom of Solomon, whieh says, ‘ spare tne rod and poi, the child.’ The branches taught are those neces- sary to « good English common school education. ir daily routine of life is as follows:—At five A. M., they are awakened by the ringiog of @ bell, when, if it be suumer, they do light work about the farm until seven o'clock, when they bi 4 horn being blown by way meal, wi gives them ample ti for preparation (ifin the winter time, their morning work, before eating, is confined to the preparation of fuei, tnilkieg ihe cows, some thirty or forty in ail, and feeding the sicek), At nine, the schoo! bell summons them to their stustes, which are kept up, with « short intervad foe Feoeee, until tweive M. They dine between twalve eater @clock. sod then revume their mental pursuits until four. Their tea hour is aix P. M., ings ere spent in the preparation of en- suing day, until eight o’elock; they are them allowed to indulge themselves in indoor recreation, uatil half past eight sends them to thetr dormitories for the night. The only religious services which are held durieg the vosk are the reading of w clapter in the Bible, followed prayer, just previous to the mornin; Saturcay forenoon is devoted to work, holiday, and the evening is spent in the bath room in “* cleaning up for Sunday.” The Sabbath ia devoted to devotional ver-vices As regards genera! character and temperament, the Indian pupils are accounted as generally coolle, teach- able and gocd natured, When sick, they are stupld and sient, heve much fear, are easily cepressed, and stok more raptaly, when prostrated by Tiseane, than the whites, They quarrel but little among themselves; in their juvenile attachments they appear to have e greater “+ gffimity’’ for members of theirown tribe, aud would, we are told, resent an insult more quickly 1f coming from @ ebild belorging to another, Indolence is their greatest and mos! beseiting ain. In the lit'ls Arapahoe wa felt particularly interested, as he ia a full blooded Indian, who eame to the ia- stitution as wild as # hawk, when he could speak but very few words of English, and even these had been learned opom bis way thither from @ white ran, who het accompanisé him from the bunting grounds of bis trive. The cate of this juveniie’s recep- Uon igto the echool was the 27th of October, 1866, and three dsye alicr bis reception he kuew bis letters per. fectly; his teacher tells us that he now spells readily in words of oxe ry liable. As regards their table—for we had not time to inspect the domitories—we should say that, so far as quantity ia concerned, the children fared remarkably well; though the cookery, to our taste, was little cetter than an illus- tration of hat oft quoted proverb which talke of Heaven’s sending the raw material, and Satan’s providing those who cre-s ic, Of this we were well able to judge, as we had dined at the board ef these ‘children of the red men,’’ or 10 spesk more corrently, at one just like it, which is common to the superintendect snd his family, as also to visiters and the other officers and employees of the instiiuticn, All things considered, however, these Iittie abriigives may regard themselves as being extreme- ly for neste: for We could mot but contrast iheir iiving favorably «ith our own rec liections of the ** fashiona>le boarding echovl rtarvaticn eystem,’’ which is but too fre- queutly ¢ lecated in the Fast. The supe intendent of the doarsing houre informs us that workshops were formerly attached to the Mission, wrere the pupils, in addition to cbefr dally routine of studies, leerned various trades, These, however, have of Inve yeura been di cont i the intellectual a: vancement o minds ehou!d not be too much They w1@ not, for # similar renson, slowed to labor in the firld, cr do sny other thas light work upon the farm. (It occurs to us that there migh' be anvthe: object im this pro- hicition. wbicu ie, to prevent & dishonest or {terested superiatendent from following the example of that amia- ble pedeocgue, Wackford Syurera, who parmued the very practicu! system at bis delighttal academy for young gen- tlemen at Dotheboy's Hal!, where routh ‘were’ boarded, washed, furrishes with pocket money, Ac., of teaching s boy @ thing, and then txing it cpom hia memory py let- ting bin g> ont ard doit.) There very general facts, inrelation te Shawnee Mission and its Menual Laber School are gethered in part from our own observation, for, with true Yankee curiosi:y, we virived, in our pursuit of facta, the scnool rsom, where we saw the Incian chidren at their cesks, and heard them od we can aasure the riacer that (physical pecu- excepied) they seem, toour eyes, to differ but lit- tle from any “‘cistrict whool’” int which educates the juveniles ci some ew Englané village amid the green val- leys of Copnecticu:, or the rocky hills of the old “Bay State.’ For we saw one youngster munching an apple, with an occasional side look at the master and bis rod; an otherdoirg apythirg but asum. unless the sum hai nose and a mouth, with a crest of eagie’s feathe:s upon ite head, while a third izied hard to post up ber neighbor, a very stupid looking a3 to the correct reading of come forgotten ar vical rule, while the urchin in question siocd seratcbing his head, and lockiog woefully perplexed, ae he tried rain to catch the muttered in- formation in time to answer promptly. Finally, thin, as touching the isterlor economy of the Shawnee Missico, this sshool is said to have dot vast amount of good amorg the Indians for whose fit it bas been instituted e tnformed by those intereat- ed in ‘he establishment, that a number of- the female pu- pils who have grown up and received their entire educa- Von at the Mission (for there are s+verat of tnem) have, 2tied well.

Ana here we ay remark, that so far as our own taste in such matters gs, al hough some of the Shewaee girls, Dow members of the schoo, are called pretty, we have aa yet been unadle to ciscover this alleged beauty in thee copper-col red cameels, Their manner of walk- ieg, for instance, is ridiculous; inse-d it was with the right, as we aw them 6le out (on a signal teaser’s fork,) at the dining room door, for the only thing ‘that ws can think of aa sporoximating to ther peouliar gait might perbaps be a lame ani very short- legged dock, if you can +uppore so common sense a bird tobe attemptizg an imitation of the last fa:hionable “teter’’ for young lacies. Add to this that they stoop, have fround shcuiders, no figure at al!, and ‘too mush color’ in their faces, and then, if you be a connoisseur, sing their praiser, if you please—d la Lorgiellow’s “His watha.” Our author furnishes the following data for the guidance of emigrants. They have the merit of brevity, and will be easily remembered :-— Day laborers ccm and $135 per day end find them selvee; metbanice trom $1 75 to $2 per day, without board; warhing—as there 1s a lack of females as yet—is high, say $1 26 per dozen; single team wagons—calou- lating the average cay’s travel at twenty five miles— may be had atirom $450 to $5 per cay. You may reckon thirty bushels to the wagon. Fencing muy be estimated, where you hire the labor, at $4 per hundred rails; this ipeludes everything splitting, hauling, aod petting. Though authorities ciffer upon this poiat, we sboula say that it would be @ saving to the emigrant if be were to purchase hfe building materials, fully manu- factured, in St. Louis, amd transport them to the site relected. When we ssy ouilding materials, we mean doors, sashes, frame work flooring. &. It ia notonly a saving in the transportation of baik, whieh of course is greater in the undressed material, but the difference in the prices of labor, Jumber, &s., will, in the present state of the market, make a saving upon toe articles purchased in &:. Lonis of nearly 20 per cent. Frame houses, which are built entire in St. Louis, or, to speak more properly, their components, bave already been transported to Kansas for ereciien, at a considerable raving to their owners. For izstance, the Auditor of the Siate, Mr. Donaldaan, bis suea @ house at Lecompton—it is two stories } has two rooms in the lower, being lined with dre p o¢ oosrds inside, and there are two rooms above. say sixteen by eighteen feet exeb—waich cost ita hea finished, including transportation by peae City, and from thence by wagon to Leocmpton, $800. We are told that in many parts of tee Territory conerete is the cheavest building material; it cap be put up at an expense of fourteen centa per cubic foot. This epeake well for the building stome and quar- ries of Kansay. We must close our extracts with the following account of Mr. Brewerton’s introduction to Gov- ernor Shannon. We quote it for the mise en P. M. we entered the woods, where the capitol of Kansas Territory partly is, and principally is to be, aad crove up to a sbanty that covers a sort of ‘genera. store,'’ whish will doubtless expand itself the progress of the place. Upon the stoppage of our com- veyance, we picked a ‘‘soft place”—no aifficult matter, for the noonday sun had began to thaw the trozen ground—and jumped off, to tne no light detriment of our ‘boots.’ Upon alighting and entering the store, which seemed to contain a lictie of everyting, but more particnlarly cheese and corn whiskey, we were intro- Guced by our friend Stewart to s ‘‘amail crowd’? of very frontier lockirg gentlemen, & litle rough on the outside, but evidently very gooa efor all that. Upon mak- ing inquiries for “the Govercor,’’ we were informed that be was making his residence, curing his stay, at ‘a house on the prairie’’—the residence of Major Clarke, fudian egent for the Pcttawatomies—distant sume toree mise from Lecompton.. We were nccordingly jart “pat. ting out” upon friend Stewart's mule, which be had very incly placed at our disporal, when & letter posted in- formant suggested that the Governor and Secretary of State Mr. Wocdson, were in another part of ‘‘the towa,”” which he designated. Upon the receipt of this inteill- gence, we monnted and rode through @ plese of woods, found the ‘‘cther part of the town,” consistiag of two houses, and the Governor, who made his firs: a pear- ance to our eyes in the form of a stoutly built elierly gentleman, ciad in a rusty suit of black, with iron ery hair (and it the governing of Kaneas is pot enough vo turn any man’s tair gray, we don’t know what troable would), under & moat ‘ dilapidated tile.” He was sitting upon @ white horse, a ia General Taylor—or as the “great unwashed’ deiight to call him, “Old Rough and Ready'’—and /ooked dignified, ax a governor shoaid, but gocdnatured withal. So we felt emboldened, reined in our mule, made our politest bow, and presented our cre den‘iais in the shape of the le:ter of introduction from the distingui-hed exSerator already alluded to. Tae Governor dropped his bridle, put on is spectacles, read the document in question, and then shook us warmly by the hand and weloomed us to Kaneas. Then turning to the Secretary of State (Woodson), who was riding at his tide, he gave us the initiative w an acquaintance which we afterwards \ook great pleasure in phen We then roce down together to the reefdence of Dr. Ro. drigue, a p ominent ciiiven of Kansas, who has tn’ormed h'mself thoroughly in relatim to the nstural resources of the Territory; ‘with Dr. Rodrigue we found Sheriff Jones. foun him rather a fine looking young man, of some eight and twenty years of age, or thereabouts, who, unfortunately for our young lacy friends, is mar- ried {o & very nice wife. ‘Well, we shook hands with these new friends, and then pursued our way, in com- pany with Woodson and the Governor, by @ short cut, to “House on the Prairie,’ where we arrived in asfety, aa the sun was going down, and met ® hearty reception from ite {omaten, Tweety Years iN tHe Unirep States Senate, by Thomas H. Benton. The second volume of this interesting work has ben brought to a close. We extract the conclnding chapter—an eloquent summing up of the views and reflections covering the large space of time embraced within the author's labors:— ibaye finished the view which I proposed to take of the thirty years’ working of tue federal government du ring tbe tine that I was a part of 1t—« task undertaken for ® useful purpose, and faithfully executed, whether the object of the undertaking has been attained or not.

If not, the writer will «till have one conrolation—the knowledge of the fact that he hea labored in bis day and generation to preserve and perpetuate the blessings of the Union and self govern- ment which wise and good men gave us. Fins Agts.— The “London Art Journal’ for April, contains a beautifully executed engraving of Hagar and Ish- mael, by Mr. J. H. Baker, from the fine bas relief, by Mr. B. 8. Bartholomew. This work is spoken of in the highest terms by English critics. Mr. Bar- tholomew is a native of Colchester, Conn., and is at present residing in Rome, where he has been pursu- ing his studies for several years past. In 1852 he went to Greece, and remained there about four months examining and copying the friezes of the Parthenon. The advantages which he derived from this visit are perceptible in the classic beauty and simplicity of his works. Mr. Bartholomew is considered one of the most promising sculptors of the day. Mosic.— Amongst the recent publications of Horace Waters, are the Mazurka “ Castle in the Air’’ and the “ Oyster Bay Polka,” both lively and rattling compositions. Mr. Waters has sent us a specimen of Ives’ patent spring binder and music holdsr, which appears to us one of the most ingenious and convenient contrivances of this sort that has fallen under our notice.

CLERICAL CONVOCATION IN ENGLAND—THA WES- LEYAN METHODISTS SEEKING A REUNION WITH THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH. The convceation of the province of Canterbury, Eng., was held on Tuesday, April 15. The Archbishop of Can: terbury provided, bishop of Lichfield introduced to the consideration of their Jordehipe a petition, signed by s large number of mort influential clergy and iaity of the Church of Eng- land, the object of which was ‘the restoration of Wenleyan Methocists to the communion ot the Church of England ” It was further #mted concerning the petition, that it was not signed by ary person in communion with the Werlevanr—that it was so'ely and ectirely the ema- nation of the clergy and Jaity of the church—end that it had teen entrusted to the care of the Bishop of Lich- field by the Rev. Ernost Hawkins, secretary to the So- cuety for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts. The Bishop, in presenting the document, exprersed his and signed tt, ‘The petition 1s not, in some respecta, very comphmen- tay otter to those Who take orcers in the Church of England, or to the care and diligence of thore who are caution in selecting eandidates for An immense The hearty sympathy with thore who had prepare bound to use pi the ministry. For, the first ‘ diffieuity” which the petitioners state is felt by the Wesleyans to stand in the way of ® reconciliation, is ‘‘an impression that the charch Is not eufficiently careful in respect to the ordi- nation of candidates for the ministry, or sufficiently jea- lous of their personal holines#;’ and’ when we find that the petitioners, in stating thir “‘difieulty,”” expross no cinsent, we cannot but regret to think that they do not disagree with the Wesleyans. The desire that they AeaiSa be" allowed to continue their ‘class meetings,” that their ministers ehould be ordained into the church ‘out a “three years’ gilence:”’ and, finally, they saus- i the chureb (in wishing their return) is ** desirous of asge only.”” The petitioners express their opinion Hat they whould be contented by conceding to them on Ni the points Kiated. : Hie Hlshop oft.

Bishop of St. David’s saia it was of the “highest fmportance they should the insinuations of glaring deiects” existing, without having it supposed that it was to attract straogers they consented to remove abuses. The Bishop of Litchfield thought the petitioners were bs stating the views of others than ns. The Bishop of Exeter, without offering an opinion as to class meetings, said the Wealeyans were a body they ought to desire to see brough: into the Caurch, because they were driven out by a state of things they must all deep!y ceplore He dwelt upen ‘the sin of rchism’’ of which the existence of Wesleyanism was 8 proof; and he said, whie he ceplored the schism of Joha Wesley, he would rejoice if he it his follewers desired to enter the Church; but he did not think it wasa becoming course of the Church to go to these people, im them to come in u| ‘plea tbat hitherto the Church had been in the habit of admitting persons of immoral character intothe ministry of the Church, and tbat now 18 was prepared to admit & reform in her ey1- tem, Aa far as he was concerned, he always endeavored to excinde from the ministry all who were not actuated by such motives as the Prayer-book clearly supposed. e Werleyans exercised the ministry on terms which contradicted the articles of the Church. They called themselves a Church, and thus put themselves out of communion witn the Church of England. They were ipso facto excommunicated. When they became alive to their state, he hoped the Churen would not ask anything from them but Christian acknowledgement that they had been i errer, and that they aovgat to be delivered from it. He thought the Church should be very cautious how they ievited such persons until they indicated by their own accord a sense of the sin of schism into whica they had hitherto been plunged. Finally the petition was ordered to lie on the table. THE METHODISTS IN FRANCE. This is not the first time, gays the Paris Debats, that we have had to speak of the regretable position in which members ofthe Evangelical Protestant creed known by the name of Meth: re placed in several depart ments in France. The mon Jaw interdicts their hold- ing avy meetings withoct authorization; and that au- thorization is frequently refused, and the tribunals be- fore which the matter is brought can only apply the law esitetands, A fresh case of this kind has just been brovght to our notice, In consequence of # meeting hela at \Vallerangue, in the Gard, the preacher, M. Ga- Henne, and an inhabitant who had lent his house for the occasion, were summoned before the civil tribunal of Vigan. The accused persons were defended with much zeal ard talent by M. Raisin, and the preacher also made made some remarks which could not but acquire for him the B leecmeee of the tribunal. ‘Weare compelled.’ said M. Galienne, ‘to choose between a violation of the laws of the country, anda violation of the most sacred laws of our corscience.” The tribunal,fhowever, had no alternative. and could only apply the law, which it did, admitting, however, extenuating circumstances, and the |coused were each condemned to 50f. fine and costs. We cannot say anything against the decision of the tribunal; all that we can do is to unite warmiy with those who for a modification of the la Police Intelligence, Arrest oF A Fucitme Boy.—Laast night, between 9 and 10 o'clock, officer Murphy arrested a boy, 13 yearf of ge, named Edward Ninchouse, charged with being a fa- gitive from Philadelphia, where he stands charged with robbirg bis employer of $750.
