—The appointment of Fred Douglass as marshal of the District of Columbia, seems to meet the approval of his entire party. The salary is $10,000 a year, and comes quite opportunely to the veteran lecturer who is now getting to be an old man. An exchange says: "The colored district militia paraded in honor of the anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, and called on Marshal Douglas, who said he was glad to receive them, and still more glad that they were celebrating an event which never should be forgotten by them."

The Torpedo.

The following interesting item we clip from the San Francisco Chronicle of April 28:—

“In the war which has just begun, and the end of which no mortal wisdom can foresee, new engines of death and destruction which have heretofore been unknown to maritime warfare, will probably play a prominent part. The great iron-clads, carrying 81-ton guns and throwing projectiles of the weight of four or five hundred pounds, will be called upon to meet new and mysterious forms of danger. The Turkish waters are said to be full of torpedoes, constructed by English skill, which are capable of destroying in an instant the most powerful war vessels that were ever launched.”

“It is reported that the British Admiralty have been making experiments with a terrible engine of destruction known as a ‘rocket float,’ which can be driven by the propelling power of a prodigious rocket for the distance of three or four miles in less than half a minute. In the bow of the float a quantity of gun-cotton is arranged with a percussion cap in such a manner that a powerful explosion ensues the instant that it comes into collision with any obstacle. If the float is accurately directed toward a ship, and started on its devastating errand at the distance of several miles, it will reach the objective point before any change in its position can be made. Another torpedo which moves beneath the surface at the rate of twenty miles per hour, has been invented. The French naval authorities have tested still another submarine torpedo, moving at about the same rate, and pronounced it a success. The probability is, a new era in naval warfare will take its date from the present European struggle.”

Morals of Nations.

THE NEW YORK Tablet, a Catholic paper, says:—

“The countries where Protestantism is most rampant—such as Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Wales and Scotland—are the most viciously depraved countries in the world. That one in the world where Catholics are five to one of the inhabitants is the freest from crime, and the most virtuous on earth—Catholic Ireland. And, what is perhaps even more significant, when Catholics are immoral, it is against the reproaches of an uneasy conscience; but the conscience of Protestants is a partner of their guilt. The very religion they have chosen, instead of submitting to, is a servile parasite who offers no resistance to the demands of the flesh.”

In reply to these boastful assertions the Christian Statesman gives an array of figures compiled by Rev. Robert Seymour by which it very clearly shows the absurdity of the above paragraph:—

“The number of murders, in proportion to the population, for a given period, was in Roman Catholic Ireland, 19 to the million; R. C. Belgium, 18; R. C. France, 31; R. C. Austria, 36; R. C. Bavaria, 68; R. C. Sardinia, 20; R. C. Lombardy, 45; R. C. Tuscany, 56; the Papal States, 113; R. C. Sicily, 90; R. C. Naples, 174; Protestant England, 4!”

“Among the reasons for this prodigious excess of murders under the influence of Romish teaching, Mr. Seymour specifies the doctrines of Purgatory and indulgences. One brought up under Protestantism may be powerfully restrained from the crime of murder by the thought that he might thus plunge a man, with all his sins upon him, into hopeless perdition, while the Romanist believes that his victim, if a Romanist, is only hurried into Purgatory, from which a certain number of masses may release him. Then, the Romish murderer himself may be speedily released from all peril through his crime, by an indulgence, to be bought and paid for; and, although the efficacy of his indulgence be theoretically coupled with repentance, yet practically the reliance on the indulgence dreadfully facilitates the perpetration of the crime. The result is, as shown by unquestionable statistics, one hundred and thirteen murders in the Papal States for every four in Protestant England!”

The Biblical Institute.

In the month of April last, Elder Uriah Smith gave a course of Biblical Lectures before a class of about fifty in this city. The lecturer took a brief survey of subjects, guarded well all critical points, put questions to the class upon the previous lecture, and answered questions presented in writing. This work usually occupied an hour. Two or more lectures were given each day. This kept the class hard at work. Thus sixteen days were profitably and very agreeably spent by Elder Smith and his class at Oakland, Cal.

By request, Elder Smith is writing out his lectures for the SIGNS OF THE TIMES, that its numerous readers may have the benefit of them. Two are given this week on page 138. One page, more or less, of the SIGNS will be occupied with this important matter each week for several months. T. and M. workers will want large packages of the SIGNS for the next six months at least, commencing with this issue, as the paper will possess unparalleled interest from this time on.

Camp-Meetings for 1877.

By James White

Five camp-meetings are located and appointed as follows:— KANSAS, Ottawa (Forest Park), May 24-29. MISSOURI, Holden, May 31 to June 5. IOWA, Marshalltown, June 7-12. WISCONSIN, Portage, “ 13-19. MINNESOTA, Hutchinson, “ 20-26.

The present is a more important camp-meeting season than any one in the past. Hundreds, if not thousands, of believers will attend this season for the first time. Scores of young men will receive papers from the several Conferences recommending them to the public as teachers of the word, and many will receive ordination.

We are pleased to see by appointments that the camp-meetings are located where crowds can be assembled to hear. Kansas and Missouri are very great improvements over last year. Probably the numbers who visit our camp-meeting grounds this season will be double those of last year. J. W.

The Eastern Question

By Editor

The article entitled “Thoughts on Daniel” is necessarily omitted this week, but in its place will be found a most interesting article on the Eastern Question, a subject which at the present time is fraught with intense interest to the student of prophecy and to the observer of the signs of the times. We bespeak for it a careful reading.

A Trial of Faith.

By J. D. Van Horn

Bro. Wm. Goodwin is a member and the deacon of the church of S. D. Adventists at Milton, Oregon. He is the director of the T. and M. work in the Walla Walla Valley. Coming from skepticism into the truth a little more than two years ago, he has become a very active worker in the cause.

About six months ago, or during fruit harvest last fall, he had the misfortune to fall from a pear tree, injuring severely the head of the spinal column in the neck. He recovered from the shock so as to go on with his work that day and for some time after. About six weeks after the accident he showed evident signs of insanity. He grew worse rapidly, and one of the principal physicians of the city of Walla Walla was called, who pronounced it a regular case of insanity. He thought Bro. G. would not live long, or if he did he would remain insane.

He became so bad that he needed two or three constantly to take care of him. The story began to go that his religion had made him insane. People were more ready to believe this report, than the truth in his case. Our brethren both in Milton and in Walla Walla began to feel the blow heavily. All help from physicians or any other earthly source was gone. They had been praying to the Lord in his behalf, but now the time had come for a special work of faith.

At Bro. G.'s request the elders of the Walla Walla, and Milton churches, with a few other good brethren, met at his house and engaged in a special season of prayer. They had assurance of help from the Lord. From that hour Bro. G. began to get better. In about two weeks he went to the city and greatly surprised the doctor as he stepped into his office to settle his bill. His restoration was a wonder to all, but a great joy to the friends of present truth.

It has been the privilege of the writer, in a recent visit to the Walla Walla Valley, to see this brother in the congregation at our good quarterly meeting, with his heart full of gratitude and his countenance beaming with joy. And again, after this at his own fireside, we were made to rejoice as we saw the triumph of living faith, and the consecration to God manifested in his good home. Victory has been given to faith, and the cause of truth rejoices in the Walla Walla Valley.

J. D. VAN HORN.
