Chicago, with a total membership ex-
ceeding 1900.
Bishop Quintard, of this State, has
been quite Ill ut his home in Sewanee
for some time past, and, although
slowly improving, sees no immediate
prospect of resuming his visitations.
\ meeting was held in London,
England, on the 18th ut, in support
of movement for the union of the
Greek, Roman Catholic and Anglican
churches. 1t WAS under the auspices
of the Society for the Reunion Of
Christendor.
The Rev. Dr. George Dana Board
nan, of the First Baptist Church,
Philadelphia, has given it as his opin-
ion that baptism is a Christian and
not a church ordinance, and his con-
viction has been sustained by the unan-
i'm us vote Of his church.
The Venezuelan Church question is
assuming an aspect similar to that
presented in Italy, Switzerland, Prus-
sin and Brazil. As far as President
Guzman is concerned, there is every
appearance that he wi | dispose Of the
questions pending between the Holy
See and the government Of Venezuela
by breaking off all relations with the
| Vatican.
The Roman Catholic Tablet, OF
London, says that John Bunyan never
wrote the immortal Pilgrims Pro-
gress," or, at least, if he wrote it, he
simply translated it from a Roman
Catholic work Of the 10Th century,
composed by one Guillaume de Gull
levaIle, Of France. There is notmuch
evidence that John Bunyan was &C
quainted with 10Th century French,
but there is plenty of evidence that
the Tablet would like to have it be-
lieved that John Bunyan was a good
"Papist."

morning on his velocipede, on the
Barrackporc road. He overtakes and
passes groups Of men and women,
mostly carriers Of vegetables. He
joins himself to these groups, spend

sometimes, when he can collect little
company by the roadside, stopping Il
preach and h III worship. Sometime:
large crowds gather around him tC

Scottish ministers appear now, nc
more than in the times Of Knox, dis
posed to take a playful view of rel
gious matters. The old puritanica
bl3od Is soon set boiling in the molly
veins Of those pastors. There are al
present many revival meetings held il
Scotland and followed Immediately
after by "anxious inquirers' Assem-

The following telegram seems to
have been sent. broadcast over the
country:
DETROIT, Aug. 5.-Senator B. +.
Bruce and Secretary Of State. James
Hill, both colored, of Mississippi, were
objected to this morning by a number
of would-be whites at the Bidd'e
House here. The whites refused TO
eat at the same table with the above
named gentlemen. Considerable ex-
element prevails.
The facts of the case are these: Sen
ator Bruce and Mr. Hill, and another
colored man named Cardoza, who are
here in attendance upon the American
Educational Association, arrived in
Detroit on Tuesday and put up at the
Biddle House, where they were fur
nished with rooms and treated precise
" as other guests of the House. On
Wednesday Miss Kate F. French,
Miss Lizzie j. French, and Miss Mel
lie F. Randolph, of New Brunswick,
n. j., who were also stopping at the
same hotel, asked for their bills, an
n3unced that they did not propose to
seat with niggers," piid Wat t. y
owed, and left the house. Sever /
other persons made similarohjections,
and Mr. johnson, one Of the clerks of
the hotel, then called uPon Mr.
Bruce and his friends and asked
whether they would object to having
their meals sent to their rooms, and
was informed that this would be salts
factory. A gentleman, representing
the Harper Brothers, If New York,
iemurred to this proceeding, however
and it was subsequently agreed that
he and his friends and Mr. Bruce and
friends should occupy table togeth-
erin the dining room, and this arrange
ment is being peaceably and quietly
carried out, and no excitement
whatever cxists.-Detrpit Tribune.

one, hiving once come within the
borders Of Tennessee, need turn else
where for a more congenidl home.
This variety depends upon the fact
that the elevation of the country
ranges from about 200 feet at the
Mississippi River to more than 2000
feet on Cumberland Mountain, and
that there Is presented at the surface
almost the whole series of geol gical
formations, from the lowest to the
highest.
Here We would call attention to an
important feature Of the work. Ii
shows the intimate relation existing
between geology and agriculture. Soil
is the result Of the diSintegration OF
rock. Each kind Of rock, and hence
each geological formation, gives a pc
cuilr kind Of soil. The author keep,
this fact constantly in the mind.
1t Is a book which the unlearhed
man can understand; yet, one which
gives no ofiense II the scientific nina.
The facts in the book may be re
lied upon, Tor they have been taken
from actual observation or the most
authentic records, and are stated with
yut paitil.ity or ezageration. Then
collection, says the author, has Eecos-
STATED a travel Of 1900 miles anu
he writing Of nearly 2000 letters.
The book is illustrated by 4 larg,
and accurate map, which IS in itsel
a nompl.te mirror Of the resources OF
he State. 1t shows the geological
formations, the typographical features,
products Of each region, county bound
aries, county towns, railroads, iron
rcaioBs, eel fields, elevation above
he sea, etc. This map was prepared
expressly for the work by DR. j. NJ.
Stafford, and does honor alike to HIM

maps throughout the work.

All classes of our people .Hill doubtless

this people as represented by them are alone
connected With, and are essentially involved
IN, the persistent maintenance Of the Con.
seryative party. None will be absent where
all are so deeply concerned.
The usual boniFes, fire. works, illumina-

best of all, many speakers Of prominence
from abroad, besides the candidate himself.
Among the speakers Maj9g Daniel, Of Lynch
burg, may be expected.
