A PREsBYTERIAE MINISTER DEPoszD

The long and acrimonious contro-
verSy which has been going on between
DR.. Samuel B. Wilson, pastor of the
First Presbyterian Church Of Louisville,
and bis elders has resulted at last
in his deposition, He had refused to
submit to the authority of the Presby-
terry and carried his case to the General
Assembly recently in session at St.
Louis, where the P~resbytery was sus-
tanned after a full hearing before that
august body. He still declined to sub.
init to the P~fesbytery, and yesterday
that body in session at Louisville ordered
his name stricken from the rolls. The
controversy involved no scandal or i'm
moral conduct, bat arose from differ
ences Of opinion in regard to church
government. 1t is one Of the most in.
terssting cases that has ever arisen
under the government Of the Pres.
byterian church. Dr.. Wilson is a
gentleman some sixty years Of age, is a
profound scholar and has always occu-
pied a high position in his church.
He is a severe doctrinaire, and while
not bigoted in his bearing toward
other churches, was decidedly opinion.
ated and positive in exercising the func.
tions Of his ministerial office. His Loss
to the church is no small one, but he il
of an unyielding nature, and while h,
might have been technically right in tn,
outset, it is apparent hat he has passed
the bounds Of Christian forbearance and
gentleness Of spirit. It is not probable
that be will recede from the position hi
assumed a year or SO ago and has since
maintained so persistently. The ehurcl
over which be had charge for many
years is old, large and wealthy, and mum
bers among its membership some Of The
most solid and worthy citizens Of Louis

The holders of the new issue got out
an Injunction last Wednesday to restrain
the Comptroller from canceling $27O, 900
of coupons pasted away in two books in

these coupons be funded according to
law, and thus converted into an interest
bearing fund. 1t is the iopiHiCn of legal
gentlemen hat the very fact of these
coupons passing back into the hands of
the drawer, as it were, was a caneella-
ton of those coupons, though they may
have emanated from the school fund,
and that this isjust as much the case as
if an individual had gotten his notes
into his hands and pasted them in a
book, without their absolute c~ancella-
ton by the stroke of the pen or the
punching of holes through them. They
assert that these coupons are entirely
beyond the reach Of the new issue

In q conversation had with Governor
Porter relative to these coupons he said

MORE TROUBLE FOR BoND-HoLDERs.
Wilson county subscribed literally in
bonds to assist in the construction of the
Tennessee aud Pacific railroad. The
State also assisted the road materially.
Last Monday the County Court resolved
to look into the management ofthe road,
see whether the bonds we're legally issued
by the county, and whether old Wilson
is bound for the interest on the same.
If the Legislature had done anything
like that, We know Of paper or two and
some bond-holders that would have called
it Reputation. But Wilson county is not
amenable to such influences; the County
Court is not afraid, and some lively de-
velopmeuts are likely to be made.
Meanwhile, the road is in a bad way.

chase money due next August, and Gov
srnor Porter intimates hat he will

TRE TuNpgRs COMING no aRIEF.

Tbs appeal Of this morning in a
leading editorial says Of the late Legis-
lature: we now come to regard it
almost q part Of our daily work to re-
cord its obstructive legislations, its fail
ings aud its failures Then in the
same connection it produces a telegram
from Nashville stating that an act of the
Legislature which seems to have been
overlooked forbids the use of State bonds
as collateral after they have been paid
in by railroads, and making it the duty
of the State officers to cancel them.
This we presume, is set down as one Of
''its. fsilisgs and failures" Perhaps the
greatest failure of all was in not con-
sulting the Appeal more frequently. II
that journal is as well posted about the
acts Of the last Legislature as is to be
inferred it will oblige the public by re-
ferring to the act in question giving
page and chapter. If there is not such a
statute at least there should be. When a
bad is paid into the State Treasury it
should be Cancelled at once, the same as
q treasury warrant, the same as county
warrant is Cancelled when it comes into
the hands of the Trustee. The repeal of
the thirdseotion Of the funding act which
made the interest on the Stale debt a
preferred claim is referred to. doubtless,
as another Of the failures.l tits q failure
which has not agitated anybody but bond
holders or those ia some way interested.
The effect Of such an act as alluded to
in the Nashville telegram would be to
protect the State. The present officers
are gentlemen Of the s~trictest integrity
and fine business qualities, but it is lodg.
ing a dangerous power in the hands of
any set Of men to allow them to collect
the evidences Of a public debt and then
hypOthecate it to raise money and thus
make other debts While these gentle
men could not be suspected Of abusing
their power Intentionally, their success
sOrs might not have the same experience
o frmness. An effort was made by the
last Legislature to stop this borrowing
business, but it " failed" and our State
Oficers-ihe Comptroller, Treasurer and
Secretary Of State-are all in New York
to see ifthey can borrow money enough to
pay the July interest. Part Of the
January interest was paid with borrowed
money. on which a heavy rate of inter.
est is yet accommodating. Whether bonds
that should have been Cancelled we're
hypothecated or not, we have no means
of knowing at present. If such has
been the practice of our State officials
the sooner it is stopped the better. If
they have a right to hypothecate these
securities, they have a right Ia sell them
again, and thus continually u tihe ssme
old bonds on the market. We hope
there is a law prohibiting this, though
we have not been able to find ii in the
acts of 1876. d

Texas is a good place for school

written contract that she would not
marry in one year. Soon a neighbor
worth 5000, 600, who had lost his wife,
sought an introduction to the governess.
OF course the Colonel denied the inter
view. But the introduction was obtained
by other means, and the school mistress
soon became Mrs. -. And a good as

The Decay of Glaciers,

A glacier is current of ice derived from
snow. Complete glaciers of the first order
take their rise in the mountains. and de-
scend into the sea, just as all complete riv-
ers of the first order do. In North Green
land the snow supply and general climatic
conditions are such that it's glaciers pour
directly into the ocean, and SO undoubtedly
did those of the Pacific Slope during the
flush times of the glacial epoch; but now
the world is SO warm and the snow crop so
scanty, nearly all the glaciers left alive
have melted to mere hints of their former
selves. The Lyell Glacier is now less than
a mile long; yet, setoing out from the from
tai moraine, we may trace its former course
on grooved and polished surfaces and by
immen.e cai1ons aud moraines distance
of more than forty miles. '
The glaciers of Switzerland ale in like
decayiug condition as compared with their
former grandeur; SO also are those of Asia,
Norway aud South America. They hare
come to resemble the short rivers of the
Sierra that flow out into the hot plains and
are dried up. According to the Schlagint-
welt brothers, the glaciers of Switzerland
melt at an average elevation above the level
of the sea of 7,A14 feet. The glacier of
Grindelwald mel5s at less than 1000 feet;
that of Aar at about 5000. The Himalaya
glacier in which the Ganges takes it's rise.
does not, according to Captain Hodgson,
descend below 1854 feet The average
elevation at which the glaciers of the Sier-
IA melt is not far from 11,oeo feet above
sea level. .-Harper's Magazine.

The town of Gheel, situated in the pro-

turies an abode of madmen, and tradition
even takes the story back eleven centuries
There are 11.000 people in the place, and
they have charge of 1900 lunatics from
abroad. who are boarded around in the
families, and treated with great considera-
ton. The children from youth ara famili-
arized with the business, and all the people
know how to manage those committed to
their care. the inhabitants are all, SO to
speak, engaged in the surveillance Of the
lunatics. One of the greatest social pnnish-
ments that can be inflicted on family is
to declare that it is unfit to receive such
boarders. The lunaties are dispose ed of
among the inhabitants according to their
wealth on stations. wealthy patients being
sent into the better families, and poor ones
to The poorer. Ofcourse the very immoral
or dangerous lunatics are not thus disposed
of. The cures average form sixty to oseyenty-
five TO the hundred. Gheel is divided into
four districts, each with it's overseer and
physician. Large sums of money are
spent in the place by the patients, and
families generally are always 1esirous
of having one or more lunatics ON their
hands.

How to Get Along.

Pay as you go.
Never fool in business matters.
Do not kick every one in your path.
Learn to think and act for yourself.
Keep ahead rather than behind the times.
Don't stop to tell stories in business
hours.
Have order, system, regularity and also
plomptness.
Do not meddle with business you know
nothing of.
Use your own brains rather than those Of
others.
A man of honor respects bis word as be
does his bond.
No man can get rich by sitting around
stores and saloons.
IF you have place of business, be found
there when wanted
More miles can be made in one day by
going steadily than by stopping,
Help others when you can, but never give
what you canlot afford because it is fash
ionable.
Learn to say No. No necessity of snap
ping it ont dog fashion, but say it firmly
and respectfully.

How They Propose to Keep Folks at Phi Ia

A number of men, mostly connected with
the railroads leading into Philadelphia,
have formed an organization, under the
laws of the state, TO be known as the "Cen-
tenniai Lodging House Agency, Limited"
and propose to contract with large num-
ber of housekeepers and boarding house
proprietors who are willing to accept a fair
remuneration for superior accommodations,
the furnished breakfast, tea and supper in
the American style, and a bedroom neatly
furnished, with linen scrupulously clean,
for each guest sent them by the Agency.
These accommodations are to be paid for
by the visitor with coupon ticket, which
will be cashed at the central office of the
agency fractional parts of unused tickets
will also be redeemed at the same place.
The arrangements for meals can be varied
