The printed scheme of the dogma
of infallibility has been distributed.
1t contains five canons: as
l. If any one should say that the
Episcopal Chair of the Roman church
is not the true, real and infallible
chair of Blessed Peter, or that it has
not been divinely chosen by God as
the most solid and in6efectable and
incorruptible rock oft whole Chris
tian Church, let him be anathema.
2. Ifany one should say that there
exists i'm the world another infallible
chair of the truth of the Gospel of
Christ our Lord, distinct and separate
from the Chair of Blessed Peter, let
him be anathema.
3. If any one should deny that the
divine magisterium of the chair of
Blesse Peter is necessary to the true
way of eternal salvation of all men,
whether unfaithful or faithful, wheth-
er laymen or bishops, let him be ana
thema.
4. Ifany one should say that each
Roman Pontiff, legitimately elected, is
not by divine right the successor OF
Blessed Peter, even in the gift of the
infallibility of maagisterimm, and
should deny to any one of them the
prerogative of infallibility for teach
ing the Church the word of God pure
from al! corruption and error, let him
be anathema.
5. If any one should say that gem
eral councils are established by God
in the Church as power of feeding
the divine flock in the word of faith
superior to the Roman Pontiff, or
equal to him, or necessary by divine
institution i'm order that the magiste-
rum of the Roman Bishop should be
preserved infhllible, let him be ana
thema.

About the middle of q warm, pleas

wait few minutes, and then remove

and drum with them on the lower
hive, without cessation, for Is: or 20
minutes. The bees, alarmed at the
noise, and confused by the change of
ofplacc and confinement, go rapidly
up into the upper hive, where they
will be found hanging like a swarm,
the queen almost invariably with
them. The swarm in the upper hive
may now be taken and carefully car
ried to the place where the old hive
stood, and the bees will 60 to work
in it and prosper precisely as well as

ones Matching every hour, SO that it
Will soon be populous again. The
queen has been taken with the new
swarm, but the bees will rear another
from the eggs left by her.
If the reason is good one, the old
colony will be almost snre to throw
off another swarm just two weeks af-

thus have your three colonies ; if it is
not good season, you will not want
to do more than divide them. If your

three, four, or five natural issues come
from one colony without injuring it,
are very rarc.-E. S. r., IN Beekeep-

SOUTHERN PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
Letter I'm Answer to Overtures for
Union With Other Presbyterian
Bodies.

efore adjourning sine die at Louis
vie on Saturday last the General AS
sembly of our Southern Presbyterian
Church adopted a letter upon Church
Union, prepared by DIR. Palmer, a
rough draft of which was read as fol-
lows: 1t began by detailing the cir
cumstances under which the PROPOSE
ton came from the Northern Church
for Conference to secure the removal
of the obstacles between the m. 1t
held that i'm such Conference the dele
gates from the Southern General AS
semhly could have nothing to retract,
that they had made no aggressions on
the Northern brethren i'm any case i'm
a church capacity, and that the only
proper and manly course was to in
form the Northern General Assembly,
through its delegates, of the obstacles
that had been placed i'm the way of
such fraternal relations by the action
of the Northern church. These OBJ
stacles were that in the union of the
Old and New Schools, now constitute
ing the Northern General Assembly,
the Old School apostatized from gospel
truth, repudiating Christ's kingdom,
in the church, and hence Overtures
coming from them, and rendering as
reason for closer relationship between
Northern and Southern brethren, the
fusion of the Old and New Schools in
the North, are to be regarded with no
specia favor on that account. That
while this effects the circumstances
under which the overture for confer
ence is made and received, there are
obstacles in the way. One of these is
the Erastian course of the Northern
Church i'm its political utterances,
which constitute abandonment of vital
gospel truth, and i'm the case of the
Northern Church this is coupled with
a latitudinarianism which admits into
the church the widest differences of
belief and gravest errors of doctrine.
The Southern Church having never
made aggressions on the Northern
brethren, and having placed no OBJ
stacles which the Conference could
aid in removing, is bound in Christian
honor and the cause of Christ to bear
her testimony against the sin of the
Northern Church in her political &C
ton and to ask her to retract the
gross ISLANDERS with which she has
filled the world against Southern Pres
byterians. The General Assembly
had instructed its Committee of Con-
ference to inform the delegates from
the Northern Church that there was
to be no fusion and that it rested
with the Northern church to remove
the obstacles to greater Christian frat
ernization than at present exists. The
draft of the letter expressly and strong
ly protested that in the course of the
General Assembly or rather in this
action of the Southern Presbyterian
church there was no malice, no wish
to make the slightest aggressions on
the Northern brethren, for many of
whom they felt warm personal re-
gard and with all whom they hoped
to continue the same relations as they
have to other Christian denomina-
tons.

AS one chances at Tyburn he may
observe that the house No. ~ Con-
naught square is said to stand where
the once permanent gibbet was erect
cd. From 1191, when Fitzosborne
was hanged there, to 1888, when John
Austed closed the dance Of death in
Tyburn tippet, many as eminent
people died at Tyburn tree as were
seen around Piccadilly and Pail Mall.
Among those eminent people of their
various days might be gathered q very
remarkable cartful or two. We need
only cite pretty and wicked Agnes
Hungerford, for poisoning her hus-
band the poet Southwell, who, prob
ably, was guilty of SANDER against
Queen Elizabeth; the five out of the
three score subscribers to the death
judgment OF Charles the First; Sir
Charles Armstrong, a victim of the
Rye House plot affair; Lord Ferrers,
who would be hanged in his wedding
clothes, and Rev. DR.. Dodd, that once
fashionable preacher, for whom one
cannot help feeling little sympathy.
People went to the hangings as to
festival. The vulgar drank and swore
worse than our army in Flanders,
while the equality" made picnic of
it. The longer the whole ceremony
the addresses to the people, the leave
taking with kinsfolk and sweethearts
tho better the spectators were pleas
ed. The finale was as lugubrious as
Imagination can conceive. The ropes
around the victims necks were fas-
tened to the beams, the carts were
lazily driven away from under them,
and the hanging man rode off without
giving himself any further trouble.
Then the friends, families or relatives
ofthe hanging man rushed to the GUS
pended bodies and began pulling
them by the legs or dealing them
heavy blows in the stomach, in order
to bring their sufferings to an end.
The Newgste chaplain, meanwhile,
took his ham and liquor in the first
friendly carriage into which he was
invited; and at night the whole affair
was talked over in London and the
suburbs, from the "Sun in the Sands"
at Greenwich, to the Assembly Rooms
at Hampstead; from the 'Grave Maui
rice" in the east of the "White Horse"
Piccadilly, or the "Star and Carter"
Pail Mall. Men, in the last century,
seemed to 60 as naturally to Tyburn
as Irish colonies to Grctna Green and
young ladies of st. James talked
about the last execution with the
strolling player, who was their dane
ing master or the deserter from Dun
kirk who taught them French.

the dangerous whirlpool had subsidized,
continued to pull backward and for
ward over the spot, waiting for me to
rise, They had almost given me up
for lost, when at length i rose to the
surface, and sank down again before
they were able to reach me. The
next time, fortunately, they were more
successful. This accounted for the
sharp pain in the head that had felt
on coming to the light the second
time. For some time l was thought
to be dead but, under skilful treat
ment, animation returned, and after a
long and tedious illness, 1 was even
tually as well as ever, but not likely
to forget my sensations while drown
ing.
1t may be satisfaction TO the read
er Git certainly was to me- to know
that the mutinous crew of that wreck
ed barque never came to land, and
that thus the sea avenged the cruel
murder of their captain.

COMMERCIAL DINNERS IN PARIS AND
NEW YoRK.-Take, for example, the
men who dine at eating-houscs i'm
New York and Paris-say, artisans
clerks, and handicraftsmen i'm good
employ. One of the former, between
one and two O'Clock, walks into res
taurant, calls TO: plate of meat and
vegetables, a slice of bread, glass Of
water or ale, and finishes with mo-
dicum of pudding or pie, for all of
which he pays fifty cents. The latter
resorts TO the restaurateur's at the
same hour. Out Of ten kinds Of soup
named on the carte he selects one, ex-
uuisite to the taste, and provocative
to the appetite; then from the list of
twenty dishes of fish and meat he also
selects one, and perhaps another; then
from the entrements, then the game,
then pastry or cheese, and bread ad
libitune; to all of which is added
half bottle of light wine; and he has
to disbursc less than the former, for
he paws but twenty-five sous. Will
net the French workman enjoy his
dinner more, work with better will,
and live longcr?-Lippincotfs Mag.

Sensible English Customs.

Among the many absurd, there are
some sensible, customs in England
that might be proftably introduced
into our American life. An English
servant never slams door, but puts
it to with the hand upon it; never
throws the window up or down. but
raises or lets it fall deliberately new
er addresses you without bow or
curtesy and never, or rarely, becomes
rude, no matter how great the provo
cation. Again, no Englishman ever
eats or drinks in a hurry, The toss
ing off the glass of spirits or pint of
ale is an American innovation, as
much as the boiling half-mastificated
food. The plowman in his holden
frock and iron-shod brogans, requires
his time to sip his ale; the wretches
who flaunt their charms i'm the gas
light glare of the gin palace, and
drown their sorrows in its poisons,
linger over the glass and the cabman,
no matter how great your hurry,
whose good will you bride by a pot
of "half-and-half," starcs as you has
ten him TO drink it at gulp, and won.
