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.

Ex-Congressman Smalls.
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. 'There may bc
;ome trouble for the Democrats io Vir?
ginia. I don't know but they have ali
he other Southern States io their coo
xol.' Speaking of the colored people
ind the President, he said that the col- j f

Presbyterians Hard At lt.
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
