The decree OF the government Of
course prevents the liberals from receiv-
ing national aid and protection, but
they have determined to form q separate
church. aud ask the recognition of the
government. They held a meeting at
Mines last month, and adopted the fol-
lowing declaration: "Hhe members Of
the liberal conference assembled at
Mines, Oc .ObeT 9Th and Sth, numbering
eighty-ive, representing the different
regions Of Protestant France, were unan-
imous, in the midst Of the crisis come
upon the reformed church, in making
s0lemnly the following declarations;
Their profound desire is that the re-
formed church remain united and sehism
be avoided They now make a supreme
appeal TO their orthodox brethren, in the
name Of charity and common remem-
branees, and in the name Of those Of the
anne faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. II
the orthodox Protestants absolutely do
not wish continuance OF a common
life with liberal Protestsnts, the lat
ter know how 20 preserve their
righls, and will not submit to spOlia-
ton, which they denounce to the Chris
tian world, in case it should be COM
mitted, a. a monstrOus iniquity. II
such administrative rigcrs as the annul-
ment OF the elect o.i9 are enforced, and
such violence intended as the depriva-
ton OF pastors Of their livings, and the
indiction OF pulpits, with view aud
hope " curbing them under the dOgmst-
lie yoke Of On oppressive majority, they
repel as an injury all ideas of capitula-
ton or submission. They declare they
Will be responsible only to God, the Cos
pei aud sheir cOusciences, aud they are
ready to resist and suffer rather than to
deny their principles and faith" The
Reformed church in France numbers
over four hundred thousand members.
The late N. GuiZUt was n member of the
orthodox party, and frequent and eXcit-
ing debates we're had with the liberals,
who opposed a formulated faith, and
who are in sympathy with the Unitari-
ans Of other countries.

STEEL PIGEONS FOR SHOOTING
MATCHES.


The ostensible object Of pigeon shoot
ing, as carried on by the various olubs,
is TO keep the hand of the sportsman in
form during the close season, so that his
skill as q shot may not suffer for want Of
practice during the months when legit-
innate sport is unObtsinable, and with
this end in view il has OF late years made
rapid strides in public favor; but at the
same time it has Objectionable phases,
which Cause many sportsmen TO stand
aloOf from it, one being the enormous ex-
pense attending day pigeon shooting,
and the other, the wholesale slaughter Of
birds from traps. This latter objection is,
perhaps, the more serious and most
difficult to overcome, it being necessary,
in order that it may be Of use as a prac-
tiee, to have the object to be shot at on
the wing. Mr.. G.. c. Bussey, a gentle
man interested in guns and shoOtiug,
has for some time past had his attention
directed to the matter, and the result is
the perfection of mechanical appli-
ances, which will afford unlimited sport
at q comparatively small cost, without
the use of I've birds, thus removing the
two obstacles to gun practice at this sea-
son of the year. The invention, which
is called the ''gyTopigeOn," consists Of a
steel fan in the form of the toy known
as the aerial top, which rises from a
rotary motion given to it by the string.
The invention was lately exhibited and
tested at the museum Of firearms, Rye
lane, Peekham; aud to Judge from its
performances on that occasion, it is
likely to save the lives of many persons
in the future, so far as the gun is con-
cerned; for although the pelchdnt for
taking life may in some cases tell
againstit, the drgltHleHtuD3 Gd crttJle90Jl
is always strong, and will doubtless have
its effect. The eOsto the "gyrO," with
all its fittings, sufficient for six hundred
shots, is, in the first instance, three
pounds say fifteen dOilars), but after
their first cost the expense is even more
tritling, eighteen-pence forty cents be-
ing the price for enough for six dozen
shO!s5 that is, assuming that the person
shooting has sufficient skill not only to
hit his bird nearly every time bat to
pour the entire charge into il so as
absolutely to shatter the steel. The
| "gyrO" IN its flight exhibits innumeTable
vagsries, going of with the stesdy flight
of pigeon, resting on the wing like q
hawk, or darting swiftly forward in 8
straight line like snipe, thus afiording
| the very best practice for the education
| of the hand and eye of the shooter
| Upon these grounds, and upon the
| ground OF humanity, the Invention
| deserves to sureeed. An evidence Of the
manner in which it is likely to be ap.
| preciated is to be found in the fact that
a "gyro" shooting club has already
| been formed.-LOH6On Standard.

a German lady, residing in New York

from her husband, 9 Mr.. SchWenke, but
married one Joseph Ross before the de-

son to suppose that it had been render
ed and loaned her husband various sums
from time to time, reaching in the ag-
gregate ten thousand dollars. Her sec
ond husband having been pronounced
null, she demanded her money. This
Ross refused, and she sued him. He put
in a set-of against part, and denied
having received the rest. The New

has given a verdict Of nine thousand
eight hundred and twenty-five dol ars in
her favor. Her next point will be to get

On the crest Of Locust Hill, in Green
wood cemetery, is the grave of Horace
Greeley, still unmarked aud apparently
uncared for. There is no mound over it,
the line between the Hew-laid sod and
the old only distinguishing 1t from the
rest of the hill. An iron park stool has
been placed at the head of the grave,
and small Fourth Of July flag and the
cane Of the great editor near by 1t. At
the head of the grave are the remains
of withered floral offerings and faded
flags. The spot is hard to fnd, and the
only information the latOrers can give
is that Mr.. Greeley's grave is over by the
fountain somewhere. If the tTifles that
mark it now were removed, the exact
spot of the grave would soon become
obliterated. Just beyond where a foun-
