The unanimous vote by which the
Presbytcriau Assembly adopted
the recommendation that two com
lnittees be appointed 10 confer with
the Old School Synod OF Missouri
and the Southern General Assembly,
for the purpose OF reunion with
those branches ofthe Church, prob
ably marks the beginning Of the end
OF the political schism " hieh has di-
vided the Presbyterian Church Of
America since 1861. The Presbyte-
rian Church North and South diYi-
ded I'm that year, on account Of the
action of the General Assembly al
Pittsburgh, which declared that the
allegiance of citizens was due the U.
5, thereby denying the doctrine Of
State allegiance and State rights.
The Missouri Synod has not been
associated with either branch since
1866. Its separation was the result
Of the adoption of a resolution by
the General Assembly in 1865, that
every church scssion and every
Presbyterian in connection with the
Presb vterian Church, North, should
examine every person who came
from a Southern State asking for
admission into any of their church

Captain Jack, so grim and dirty,
With his ModOcs three-and-thirty,
For the troops Of Uncle sam
Doesn't seem TO care particularly,
But; with ModocS thirty-thrcc,
DOdges like the Frenchman's flra.
Shooting little slugs Of lead
All around his lava bed,
Wrapping round his rugged form
Suits Of stolen uniform.
Punctuating all his talk
With the knife and tomahawk,
Begging his pale-face friends 10 .p.re

The Coal Area south Ct Is.


They tell Us that > 900 square miles
of territory in North Alabama are
-uudcrlaid with coal, varying from
two 20 ten anu Uw enty ieet IN mick
ness. but most persons understand
that TO mean that in a certain area
of ). 900 square miles there are quite
a number OF veins of coal. The
editor of the Montgomery Adver-
tiser and Mail, who has recently
given the coal fields personal iuspec-
tiOn. enlightens us on this interest
ing subject. 1t seems there is no
continuous or unbrOken stratum of
coal of 5000 square miles in extent,
but the breaks are not so extensive
as one would think. Twelve miles
south of BlOunt Springs are the
O'Brien mines. Ten miles further
south are Pearce's mines. Ten
miles north of Birmingham are Mil
ner's and Haines' mines, with veins
six and & half feet in thickness. The
foreman OF these mines is willing to
stake "his entire wages, including
three months back" pay, that the
mine extended literally to distance
of at least twenty miles without q
two foot break or seam in the entire
distance. He had no idea how far
the vein extended, but as the slope
did not exceed an angle of eight or
ten degrees, he inferred that it ran
a number of miles. If his estimate
can be taken as authority, this vein
of coal underlies an area of two or
three hundred square miles, and is
capable of turning out not less than
twelve hundred and ffty millions of
tons, which ought to be worth six
thousand millions of dollars. But
this vein is not situated in the coal
region, par excellence, of the State.
That is several miles farther away
to the North and Northwest, and,
of course, that much nearer to Nash

The German moart-Broakers.

They do some things in Germany
different from our customs, and
much better than we do. a mar
riage engagement is, with the Ger
mans, more serious thing than it
is with us. 1t carries with it the
force of a solemn compact, and some
of the responsibilities of a marriage
contract already performed. The
engagement is known to all the
friends of the parties it Is publish
ed in the newspaper, and is regarded
as almost as irFeVoc2ble as marriage
itself. In Cassel, two army officers,
one of them a count and an adju-
tant, were discussing the suscepti-
bility of women, and the count
made a wager with the other, that
he, poor as he was, could win the
affections of any rich heiress the
two might agree upon, and become
engaged TO marry her. They set
tied that the count should lay siege
to the heart of a very pretty and
very rich young girl, the daughter
of a widow whose former husband
was a noted gambler.
The suit succeeded, the engage
ment was soon made and published.
The count was victorious and won
the bet, it being a gorgeous wine
supper. He then thought the joke
had gone about far enough, and
wrote the young lady that it would
be impossible for him to keep the
engagement to marry her, because
her father was a gambler. The af-
fair made a great deal of public
scandal. and the German chronicleT
of these events states that the story
came to the ears of the Emperor,
William, who strongly disapproved
of the whole proceedings of his
| army officers. The supper was pre-.
pared, and the count and his friends
were about sitting down to theiI
viands and champagne, when al
order came for the arrest of the two
officers, who had so disgraced theil
cloth and manufactured scandal
| They were not permitted even tC
| drink their wine, and are now await
/ ing trial by court-martial. That
| the way they treat these harmless
| little Jokes in Germany.

Redemption Of. Forfeited Lands.

The comptroller-general has written a
letter to an Aiken lawyer in reply to the
question eff lands bought by the State
for want of bidders at delinquent land
sale can be redeemed within ninety DAYS
by the original owner" To this the
comptroller replies as follows:
III have the honor to reply that the
act of the General Assembly providing
for the assessment and taxation of pro-
perty.' (section 1857 approved Sep
tember Is, 1898, provides that if tho
lands advertised at n delinquent land
sale of real estate not in cities, towns and
villages cannot be sold for at least one
fourth of its assessed value, that the
county auditor shall purchase sufficient
thereof at that rate for the State, to sat
isfy the lax, costs and penalties thereon,
but this portion of the said Section 10S
was repealed by the act of March II,
1872, and now there is no law on our
statute books that gives the county audi
tor or my other officer any authority to
purchase any real or personal estate for
the State on account of any tax; hence
lands connot be bought by the State for

a Battle In The Air.

ga most terrific battle between two
birds" says the Virginia (Nev.) Monta.
nian of the. 18th ult., occurred between
two large brown eagles in the vicinity Of
the lakes above Virginia on last We'd
nesday evening. When first noticed the
birds were soaring, one above the other,
at an altitude of perhaps three fourths of
a mile. and seemed on a sail for pleasure
Presently the uppermost bird, closing its
broad wings, shot downward Ikea. mete.
or for two or three hundred feet, and
with Wild piercing scream, lit fairly
upon the back of the other bird. Tur-
ming with the rapidity of lightning the
victim clutched its adversary with talons
and beck, and d fierce. struggle ensued.
The savage yells, the striking of huge
wings, and showers of falling feathers,
gave unmistakable evidence of the fero-
city with which the contest was waged.
Gas they fought they fell earthwards,
and, when within FIVE hundred feet of the
ground, they became disentangled, and
each swooped upwards again. Now fol-
lowed; an interesting trial as to which
Should first gain sufficient altitude to
make another plunge. The circling of
the smaller was rapid and close, while
that of his antagonist was made with
greater limits, and his ascension was
quickest, accomplished. Tho largest ea-
gle was soon fully one-half mile high,
and some hundreds of feet above his VIC
tim. Hoyering in mid-air. for moment,
as if making sure, of his aim, he again

The were now near the largest of the
lakes, and gradually descending to the
water. The struggles of the smaller be-
came less and less fierce; he vas getting
weak, and was evidently nearly van
quished, While his more pSwerfnl aggrcs-.
sor seemed to wage the battle with in
creased vigor.
"Another moment and the conuuering
monarch ]oosed his hold, and with an
cxultant shout of victory scared upward.
The battle was ended his prisoner, limp
and lifeless, fell into the waters Of the
lake with a splash and foated on the sor-
face without struggle. We with our
companion tried to get the dead eagle,
but were unable to do SO without swim
ming for it. Both birds wore of very
large size, the largest measuring we
think fully twelve feet from tip to tip.
The spectacle was exciting in the extreme
and the victory tragically complete.
The battle had likely commenced before
we discovered them, as it does not seem
possible for one to kill the other in SO
short time, although the fighting was
terrific"
