HEREDITY. rmeet upon the woodland ways At morn a lady fair ; Ado wo her slender shoulders strays ?fBer raven hair; And none who looks into her eyes Can fail to feel and know That in this conscious clay there lies ' Some soul aglow. But I who meet her oft about The woods in morning song, I see behind her far strrtched out ~ A ghostly throng A priest, a prince, a lord, a maid, Faces of grief and sin,'". A high-born lady and a jade, A harlequin Two lines of ghosts in masquerade, Who push her where they will, ? As if it were the wind that swayed A daffodil. She sings, she weeps, she smiles, she sighs Looks cruel, sweet or base ; Tl^e features of her fathers rise And haunt her face. As if it were the wind that swayed Some stately daffodil, Upon her face they masquerade And work their will. --Frederick Peterson. *Pink Eye' is prevailing among Montgomery horses. The Hon. John Gr.

WASHINGTON, May 19 -Robert Smalls, the colored Ex-Congressman rom South Carolina, is in Washington n connection with his contested election :asc in the Fiftieth Congress. Mr. Smalls said to-day that he had taken a nass of testimony showing that many >f his votes were thrown out illegally without being counted: that the negro voters, besides being defrauded of their rotes, were intimidated, and that GOO of be votes counted for Mr. Elliott, his op- ! )onent, who was declared elected, were ?st in another district and were tbere bre illegal. He says that he can prove hat he got 7,000 legal votes, while I \ Elliott claims only 6.-000, and many of bose were illegal. Mr. Smalls was ac- | f ?redtted with about 5,500 votes ; so iven if he is not credited with those that arere thrown out, he claims that enough )f the 6.000 cast for Elliott were ille? gal and would insure Elliott's defeat. Speaking of politics generally, he ?aid that he did not think it was possi? ble for the Republicans- to break the solid South as long as the election laws .emain as they arc.

Discussing and Considering Ques? tions of Vital Importance to the Church. ST! LOUIS, May 24-In the South? ern Presbyterian assembly the ques? tion of Bethel churches and their organization being under discussion, it was finally decided.th at no church constituted as a Bethel church had the right of representation in the presbytery, and that the elder in one church could not at the same time be an elder of another church. The committee on theological seminaries submitted a report covering the affairs of several seminaries, also of an in? stitute for training colored ministers. The number of students in the latter was fifty-five, and it was the belief that the money used in training and educating colored teachers was well bestowed. Columbia seminary has been closed for the year past, but it had been decided to reopen it next September. This seminary has an endowment of ?280,000 and its future was believed to be very bright. The committee on publication re? ported ;that adebt of $85,000 - had been paid off or provided for and that it now has assets over liabilities of $64,000. Jn view of this promising fact it was ordered that colportage be started iii presbyteries where it does not now exist. The judicial committee made a supplemental re part in the case of Rev. Robinson, of North Carolina, aud appeal from the synod of that State, recommend? ing that the case be tried and Revs. W\ II. Davis and P. II. H?ge were named to represent the appellee. The committee on bills aud over? tures reported on overtures from Har? mony and South Carolina Presbyte? rians touching the acts of the last assembly on evolution, and the power of thc general assembly over theo? logical seminaries and their instruc? tors. Tlie answer was that the assembly declined to formulate any detailed examination of the acts of the last assembly, as any statement, however expressed, could only be re? garded as a. new deliverance on the jame subject, which this assembly Joes not feel called upon to make. This was an answer formulated by a najority of the committee. The minority also presented a .eport which dealt primarily with the urisdiction of the different church jourfs, and the manner in which mat ,ers can be brought before the gene al assembly. lt says: Respecting he question of the Carolina presby ery. touching the mode of creation is defined by the last assembly, we ecommend this assembly to answer hat the Scriptures clearly reveal that n the highest sense God is the cre itor of all things, and consequently )f Adam, body and soul, , and both Scripture and ihe confession of faith each that his body was formed of he dust of the ground, whether nediate of immediate, bat the 'inscru able mode' God hath not revealed, ind this assembly holds that it is not riven to the church to pronounce lefinitely as to the mode by which md the time in which the Creator mose to work.' The report was lictaled for future consideration. ST. LOUIS, May 25.-The Presbyte? rian General Assembly, South, de? moted the morning session to argu? ment on organic union. Elder J. T livingston, of Georgia, and Rev. J. \l. Potts, of Alabama, spoke in favor >f union with the Northern church, md W. H. Parks, of St. Louis, op? posed it. The invitation of the second Presbyterian Church of Phil idelph?a to the Assembly to hold heir next session in that city and jxfendihg their hospitality, was de? clined, as this Assembly has no >hurcu in Philadelphia, but they re? solved to hold their next session in k?ay, 1888, at Baltimore, and to take i recess on the fourth Thursday in Hay, and proceed to Philadelphia to issist in the celebration of the ccn ennial anniversary of the Reformed Presbyterians of America. They arther accepted their quota of ad? resses, and the following speakers md subjects were assigned : Rev. 5. M. Palmer, Children of the Cove iant ; Rev. M. D. Iloge, City Evan relization ; Rev. J. L. Girardeau, listory of Presbyterianism and its York for the future ; Rev. M. II. Houston, Foreign Missions ; Rev. IV. II Moore, Home Missions; Rev. leny Witherspoon, Closing address ; T.
