He j made a grab for the sop?e, but the reptile j was too quick for him and slipped back inside j of the jacket and then wiggled down his i trouser's leg. Theo the fan began in earnest, j A succession of terrified yells rent the air j and a ligtitn.Dg disrobing set followed.

Harmony Presbyterian. This body?roet, pursuant to adjournment, i n Sumter, S C , on tbe 14tb instant. At its meeting in Manning last mooth, cer? tain rumors were rfported to it injurious to the character of Rev. J. E. Dunlop, atad although nothing was brought forward that could prove them, yet Presbytery appointed a commission to visit tbe place where they originated, tak?v testimony, and report back to it. Judge T. B. Fraser chairman of the commission, with Rev. X. W. Edmunds. D. Di Rev. W. J. McKay, D D , and Rev.' W. W. Mills, members of it, visited fndiantown, and spent four days io patiently taking sworn testimony of a number of persons, white and colored. At the late mtetiog io Sumter, Presbytery received tbe report of this commission, and beard ail of the testimony read, and then by a vote of 27 to 3 adopted a p.iper containing a oreamble aod 5 resolutions, tbe two last of which are as follows : "Resolved 4th. That the confidence which Presoytery has, and has always had, in the integrity and piety of this brother, would in itself, and especially in the face of his eolemn oath of innocency, lead them to believe ibat a satisfactory explanation did exist even though it could not te given ; but in addi? tion to this, they feel convinced that the ex? planations tbat have been given by bim, are conclusive, not only in removing all pre? sumption of guilt, but also in producing the Strongest conviction of innocency. "Resolved 5th. That io view of the con? victions thus arrived at, Presbytery sees no cause to pursue the investigation farther, but rather to congratulate our brother in bis ability to thufi vindicate bimse'f, and to com? mend bim to the renewed confidence and fel? lowship of all, whose faith io bim, may have been affected for the time by these rumors." Tbus has this ootde and faithful servant of God been exonerated by an overwhelming majority, every one of bis min!sterial breth? ren, and most ot the ruling elders present voting for the resolutions, while only three elders voted against them. Presbytery by its vote, even congratulated biro, on bis vin? dication. J-ime? McDowell. Manning, S C , Nov. 20, 1S93. The Thanksgiving holiday.

The foreigner fidgets, the native sits still; balmy sleep, especially in hot weather, will resist the foreigner's sweetest wooing, wbile to the native lying on a heap of stones or across the bars of a wheel? barrow she comes as a matter of course; we need constant change and variety, they would find contentment ami rest on the treadmill. **It would be easy/' says Mr. Smith, "to raise in China au anny of 1,000,000 men-nay, ?U.UOO.? ?00-tested by com? petitive examination as to their capaci? ty to go to sleep across three wheel? barrows, with heads downward, like a spider, their mouths wide open and a fly inside."' From which it is evident, says The North China Herald, that in a crusade against noise we can hope for no as? sistance from our native fellow towns? men, but instead a great amount of vis inertiae, if not positive opposition.
