The latter elicited a heat ed debate, when the report on the Columbia Seminary wps reached. After a full discussion the Assembly adopted by a vote of 65 to 25 the fol lowing: Resolved, That whereas, thjs Gen eral Assembly is convinced tUat the Rev. James Woodrow- D. I}., one of the professors of the Columbia Theo logical Seminary, holds views repug nant to the Word of God and our Con fession of Faith,as appears both by his address published in the Southern Presbyterian'e review for July, 1884, and other publications, and by his statement made upon the fjper of this Asseiphto'i does hereby, in accordance with its action yesterday in regard to the oversight of thp theological semi naries earnestly recommend the Synods of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and South Georgia and Florida, which direct and control the said seminary, to dismiss the said Rev. James Woodrow, D. D. t as pro professor in the said seminary and to appoint another in his place, and to speedily take such other steps as in their judgment will be best adapted to restore this Seminary to the confi dence of the church. , The negaUve votes against the sub stitute were as follows: Win. Flynn, F. L. Ferguson, T. Haralson, S. F. Taylor, J. S. Hillhouse, Van Lear, R. L. Hunter, D. A. Plank, J. H. Dujiee, J. W. Lupton, J. N. Kennedy, N. J. Holmes, J. H. Mayo, R. H. Wardlaw, P. E.

Quite a number were absent, other wise the majority vote would have been larger. The Assembly having received fa vorable answers from more than three- fourths of the Presbyteries, adopted a resolution strikingout qf the Confes sion of Faith the elapse forbidding a man from marrying any of bis wife’s relations nearer of kin that) of his own and a woman marrying any of lier bus band’s relatives nearer of kin thftnanj- of her own. This is commonly known as the “Deceased wife’s sister clause,” and thus a marriage of this kind is no longer forbidden. The general Assembly concluded its labors tomight, after a nine days ses sion. The report of the committee on the Sabbath strongly condemned the running of railroads and publishing and reading of newspapers on Sun day, also the sending and receiving of mails. Augusta. May 29.—Midnight—The principal discussion in the General Assembly to-night was on Ihe report of the committee on overtures giving ruling eiders the same right as preach ing elders, to be moderators of Gen eral Assemblies. The report was adopted. The special committee on a commu nication from the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union reported.

A friend told me how the colonel of his ; regiment secured promotion. It is a fail ; jam pie of how shjim military reputation j is manufaetTjffed. ' The regiment was to ! action In the prwqa, this |n the southwest under gherujap The cpfr-nal was on : horseback in fhc rear of jifj f^giment, just | where he should have been 'f* 1 ® Confed erate sharpshooters saw an officer on horseback aud began to pay attention to j him. The colonel, finding that the sharp- ' shooters had selected him for a target, ! was greatly alarmed, and thought he was ■to be killed. He did not dare to ride off ! the Held, nor did he dare dismount while i under fire, for fear that his men would suspect him of cowardice. He speedily concluded that be had best be moving, so he galloped his horse up and down behind his regiment. He was nervous and excited, as well he might be, with a score of sharpshooters trying to gather him to his fathers, and, to relieve his feelings, he shouted to his men to “Give it to the rebel 1” Furiously he rode, expecting to be killed every instant. An advantage gained by our troops in another part of the field dis lodged the sharpshooters, and the colonel was at rest. His riding his line and his sham encouragement of his men had been seen from corps headquarters. There his actions were construed to indicate that his regiment was hard pressed, which was true, and that he was gallantly bolding his men to their work, which was not true, as they had no intention pf abandon ing the field. The colonel was recom mended for promotion as a reward for his gallantry in action. Speedily a single star thone on his shoulder strap, where the bird qf freedom had been wont to roost. And ever after be posed as the fighting brigadier.—Frank Wilkerson to New York Sun. A Reward for Dignified Honesty. A very small newsboy stood at the cor ner of Superior and Clark streets yester day afternoon. Under bis arm was a soli tary and bespattered copy of the noon edi tion of The Daily News. Satisfied either by the plethoric condition of his pocket, caused by a successful run of business, or by'the warmth of the sun, be disdained to call his wares. A rotund and austere officer of the north side street railway company passed. He stopped abruptly, approached the lounging youngster, and said: “Nows, boy," at the same time slipping a coin Into the hand of the urchin, who, in turn, dexterously de posited it between his teeth. Delivering the wrinkled paper the boy sent a dirty hand into his trousers pocket and pro duced four pennies and a nickel, which he emptied into the extended palm of the dig nified purchaser. “You should bo more careful, sir," said the rotund gentleman, glancing at the change and then handing it bock to the youngster. “I gava you a 8-cent piece, not a dime." Not a muscle of the boy^s face moved.* The same dirty little hand went np to his mouth and returned with the 3-cent piece. Quick as a flash the coin had again changed owners. “What’s this for?” gasped the dignified offlciaL “Keep der money," replied the boy, with a wave of the dirty baud; “I likes tor re ward honesty.” The dignified gentleman blushed to the roots of his hair and stood for a moment gazing at the back of the self-possessed urchin, who had turned on his heel and sauntered away.—Chicago Nowa The Town OouncH will perfomr-nfi acceptable aet by re-emveting the ordi- pance against dqgs.

Sixty Intlictmcpts for Murder. Chicago. May 28.—While the in dictments which were found against the Anarchists yesterday and return ed into Coqrt were ten in number, ap parently, mqch to the dismay of tin attorneys for the defence, the,) really number sixty, as each of tiie ten is seperately indicted for the murder o tiie six officers. These ten are August Spies, Michael Sphyvab, Samuel Fielden, Albert R. Pafsons, Adolph Fisher, George Engle, Louis Lingg. Wm. Seliger, Rudolph Schnabel and Oscar W. Neobe. These are in jail, except Schnabel and Parsons. Fresh information has reached Captain Schaack which will warrant two oi more important arrests in the near future. It is not at all improbable that the throwing of the bomb will be more definitely fixed.

As on other occasions of this nature, the perpetrators are what are known as “Red Men,” that organiza tion of outlaws which for a half dozen years has flourished jn this State de spite the attempts of the authorities to fitampitoqt. The victims this time are Mr. and Mrs. Geo Keck who live pn Goss Run, iri Ritctue County. Two nights ago they ‘ were aroused by tiie shouts of a mob which had sur rounded their house, and qn the door being opened the Red Men took Keck find his wife into the woods near by and roped them to trees, and beat them in a most brutal manner with hickorv switches. They then burned the dwelling and its donteuts to the E >dud and departed.

Tho Editor’s Gi catest Trial. Said Dr. Talipage, In tho course of his excellent sermon on newspapers at the Brooklyn Tabernacle a few Sundays ago. “• One ot the greatest trials of a newspaper man’s life arises from the fact that all the shams of tin world make the newspaper office theii customary stamping ground. Cranks of all styles and shapes congregate there and harrass the weary toilei with their senseless raving. Dumb meanness is there, too, which wants to have its wares praised in the edito rial columns, and thus escape payinc for an advertisement. Crack-brained idle-pated philosophers file in with stories as long as their hair and as gloomy as their finger nails. People wonder that newspaper men are irre ligious; but for my part, I wonder that any newspaper man, confronted as he is, day by day, with the mean ness, the pettiness, the folly of man kind, believes in anything! Were it not for his early training at his moth er’* knee, lessons that can never be entirely effaced, he would cease be lieving altogether.” A Notable Gavel Referring to the closing proceed ings of the the Coneral Conference of M. E. Church South, the Richmond (Va.) Dispatch says.* “Bishop Mc- Tyeire was the recipient of a curious gift. It was a gavel made from the tree that grew by the grave of Stone wall Jackson. Dr. Langerty had the instrument made. Its history it worthy of record. In 1864 a gentle man in Cincinnati sent through the lines a twig of paulonta imperialia to Col J T L Preston, of Gen. T J Jack- son’s stall, with tile request that it be planted bv the tomb of- the Confeder ate warrior in the cemetery at Lexiug ton, Va. It made ranid growth, aud in years disturbed the.modest mound. In 1884 Mrs Jackson directed its re moval. The sexton opened theeaith. and the cqmpany present found that the roots had gone directly to the cof fin, and embraced, by curious curves and bendings, the body of the dead champion qf the South. Tfle gavel was made from wood nourished by the mighty dead, and holding in its fi bres the dust of the matchless hero.’ ” Mother, think of the battle that is being waged by worms against the life of your child.

Religious-Relief of Ancient Egyptian*. The description of the judgment of the souls of men by Osiris is thus glve^ by Professor Hawliuson: • “According to the side on which the balance inclined, Osiris delivered sentence. If the good deeds preponderated, the blessed soul was allowed to enter the boat of the Sun, and was conducted by good spirits to Aohlu (Elsyium) “to the pools of peace," and the dwelling place of Osiris. If, on the contrary, the.good deeds were in- suificieut, the unhappy soul woe sentenced ****'-> ~ — - ' 1 a — -V,^—— ■-* ——» of transmigration in the uouios ot more or loss unclean animals; the number, nature, and duration ot the transmigrations de pending on the degree of the deceased’s demerits; and the consequent length and severity of the pvmlshmcut he deserved, or the purification which he required. Ul timately, lifter many trials, if purity was not attained, tho wicked soul underwent final sentence at the hands of Osiris, Judge of the dead, and being pronounced in curable, suffered complete and aboolute annihilation. “The good sou), having first boon freed from Rs infirmities by passing through the basin of purgatorial fire guarded by tho four ape-fpeed genii, and then made the companion of Osiris for 8,000 years, re turned from Amenti, nvonterod its former body, rose from the dead, and lived once more a human life upon earth. This pro cess was repeated until a cert in mystic cycle of years became complete, when flually the good and blessed attained the crown ing joy of union with God, being absorbed into the Divine Essence, and thus attain ing the true end and full perfection^ thghr bei ng. "—Exchange Late Sleepers at the Hotel. With a regular ll-o’olook breakfast the regular every-day guests of a hotel, other wise known os drummers, are generally supposed to sleep late, say 9 and 10 o’clock. 13ut they are a raneh.abused class of men. Take our call-books, which ore a sure guide, and you will find that there are double the number of calls at T o’ clock as at any other hour, or really of all other hours. That seems to be the popular hour for all of them. That gives them time to take a bath, get shaved and eat breakfast and get around as soon as any of their cus tomers are ready to receive them. A few of them, of course, sleep late—9 o’clock, and even 10—but they are the exception and not the rule, and often when you find orders at that hour it la in cases whore tho men have been called early tho morning before to take a train. It is singular, though, that the people who frequent hotels should, almost with out exception, have to be called. One would think that their habits of life would make R inpossible for them to slumber be yond a certain time, but it seems to be ex actly the opposite. The latest sleepers, as a rule, are the theatrical people. Their work is a constant strain, working them into unnatural feelings and frenzies, and accounts for that. Then they generally take a good nap in the afternoon, too. But really the most tireless sleeper is the politician. . I can’t describe him.—Clerk Harper in Globe Democrat.

I see more varieties of carriages here than in any city of the globe, perhaps. The patent pavements of the town allow carry-alls, chariots, herdlcs, hansoms, bi cycles, gigs, tandem teams and what not. The great old rolling carriage called th« landau is not aa oft^n seen as formerly. Considerable private'equipage is in Wash ington. With all this show there Is a fair democratic conservatism among the new strangers. I heard rather a pretty story not long ago of a major-general of the British army who came here on a visit from India, and a prominent man, whq was not in politics, to whom the 'stranger brought a letter, pqt him in hia fine car riage and took him everywhere. The Eng lishman said one day: “I see that some of these carriages have drivers to livery salts while your? has not.” “No, sir," said the man; “I never put my driver in livery, because I have a little sup erstition in it. I am a speculator, and have my ups and downs, and H occurred to me that some day or other 1 might be poor, and that my son might have to drive one at these carriages; and I think I would not like to see him to that kind of livery uniform.” The Englishman, ft to said, took hto ac quaintance warmly by the hand and aaid that he bod been looking to America, ever since he landed to San Francisco, for an American, but up to that time he ha^ seen nothing but Englishmen In the coon- try,—•‘Gath” fn Cinctimati Enquire*.
