This year Prof. Fisher, of Yale College, addressed the P. B. K. on Tuos day evening. His discourse was on the “Origin and Later | elopements of Protestantism,” a large subject to treat | ie hour, but discussed in an ominently scholarly "fhe erator spoke firet of the different views taken | by various historians of the great movement of the Re | formation, and then sought to find its true causes and spirit by going back to study the lives of the early reform ers themselves, eepecially Luther. The ea by which Luther eam to the conviction of the truth of the dosirine of Justification by Faith, and to a determination to stand by bis own convictions cf trcth and duty, agsinat all the authority ef church and state, was very floely delineated. From the moment this determina ion was arrived at, the i¢ea of religious fiesdom had « substantial life in Christen- | om | the graduating class, and that of M.D. upon Cyrus H. Al- From the idea cf religious freedom came the ties of civilfreedom. Ifaman might jadge for himself ia such momentous concerns as those of religion, much more might be do so in civil and polidoal affairs. To be sure, dangers result from this hee but these dangers aro eligot compared with those which come from {ndoient sub- mission to the dicta of otbere. Modern infidelity—charged by some upon the free thinking spirit of the Re‘ormation— bad its origin elsewhere, in Previously existing Pagan tendencies; and these Pagan influences [ther most etfec- twally checked by plaoing the groundwork of all true ligton, not in outward obodience and ceremonies, but in a iritual life. Moderm pantheiam was the counterpart of ig ancient element. Here the speaker traced some of the mont stri! ditterences between the German mind and that of the Romanic nations, to show why a | spiritual religion, like Protestant! found a more natural home in the former and inthe other nations of Europe, while ihe formalities of Romaaiam more easily prevatied in the latter. The human race is evidently progressipg towards re- Ngious unity.

The Probable Settlement of the Indian Troubles—Phe Rad Men and (heir Comploinis—Tre Leading Politciane of Munmesota—The Constitutional Convention. ‘The Indian troubles of the Territory, which bave for sometime been growing more and more threatening, are now likely to be settled without further bloodshed. The whole difoulty bas arisen from culpable ment upon the part of the government, When the firs ovtbreak—the Spirit Lake massacr—eoccurred, prompt action upoa the part of the government in punishing the murderers would have prevented al! further trouble, But nothing was done, The troops remained idle; author. Ity to call out volunteers was refused, and the petty band of fourteen Indians who could easily have been oxtermi- nated by a single company of troops, was suffered to ge unpunished and urmolested. They scattered over the country and succeeded in enlisting in their favor tho pow- erful and wariike band of Yanktons, numbering in all more than one thousand persons, The friendly Indians, believing the whites were afraid, began to grow bold, and the instructions from the department at Washingwoa we wlibhold their apnuities until they should bring tu and de- liver up Ink pa-du-ta’s party, confirmed them in this be- lef and tporeased thoir tasolence. At firet they required ‘a company of troops to accompany them, whioh Major Patten refused, and then, when afterwards a company of troops was ordered to accompany them, the offer was soornfally rejected, and Littio Crow, with a compaay ef one hundred and twenty-five Indian warriors, started ex’ the expedition, In the meantime the cosduct of fhe Indians remuining im the neighborbood of the agenoy had become so hostile im its character that the whites in the region had fied for safety, and the utmost caution was necessary to prevent open war. When the party under Major Flam- drax surprised aad killed one of Ink pa-du-ta’s mon, they wore met by flye hundred warriors, who demanded the instant surrender of a squew, which bad boon takes, aad would have instantly commented hostilities [f she had mat been delivered up. Asoldier was stabbed by an ladian, and adairs assumed a most formidable aspect. ‘ Gov. Medary, who had just returned from Washington, \elegraphed back for authority to raise volunteers, and the volunteer compzaies of St. Pau! were heid in readiness to march ata momeat’s warning. The au bority was re- fuged, and Gov. Medary himself repaired to the agemoy te asaist Superintendent Culles in preserving order, The re- sult of Lito Crow’s expedition has nou yet transpired, bag 4 ig reported that the Yanktona had determined on his re- turn, if they hed killed Ini-pa du-ta’s party, to Oght, and if they had not kilied the party, and the annuli es wee not paid, to Sgt, By tbis timo the governmeat at Washing- ton began slowly to open thelr eyes, and ordered on troopa from Forts McHenry, Independence, Hamilton Mackenaw and Sioux St. Marys. But trey were still incredulous. They didn’. bolieve the statements of the Superintendent o’ Indian Affairs, who was atthe :cene of action and the Indian agent here, or of Gov.
