Armenian Beliefs.

They believe in the unity of Christ as
one body Of nature, and embracing the
Holy Ghost and God. They practice
infant baptism, and admit, after pro-
fession of faith and conversion from
Judaism, adults to baptism. They be-
lieve in ransubstantiation, but, strange
to say, reject purgatory, and pray for
the souls of the dead. These three
doctrines are at least intelligible when
professed by Roman Catholic. The
doctrinal belief of the Armenians is at
least illogical. They believe in the
everlasting vrginity of Mary, worship
,aints and shrines, make confession to
the priest necessary to salvation, and
enjoin modification. The traffic in in
dulgences is unknown in the Church,
and, taken as q whole, the priests are
learned, liberal minded and eniighten-
ed. Without entering upon sketch of
the history of this peculiar Christian
community, the antiquity of which is
undoubted, we may refer to the pecul-
lar constitution of that branch of the
Church which is established at Constan-
tinople, for in this we find a solution of
the apparently anomalous conduct of
the Patriarch. The Patriarch of Con-
stau,inople has probably under his care
about two millions of people, and it is
important 10 bear in mind that the
Armenians are no. exceptionally in
dustrious and enlightened class Of
Asiatics. He is not only the spiritual
head of his immense diocese, which,
with the exception of Jerusalem and
Sis, embraces the whole of Turkey, but
the civil head IS well.

COLUMBIA, s. c., dispatch, OF April 18th, says:
1t is reported from reliable authority that the sub
stance of the reply of state officers to Gov. Hanp-
tons demand will be assertion that they hold
their offices by declaration of the state
from face of ell election returns, that they
commissioned by Gov. Chamberlain while his title
was undisputed; that their contestants have taken
their cases to the supreme court; that Gov. Hamp
ton has no right to anticipate judgment of that
court or in any way to pass upon their title, and
that his action is a violation of his pledge to leave
disputed questions to legal settlement. FoT the Sc
reasons they viii decline to give up their Offices.

A Slight Mistake.

The present Archbishop of Dublin,
the gifted author of the work, so widely
known, on the Study of Words" is
not in very robust health, and has been
for many years apprehensive of par
alysis. At recent dinner in Dublln,
given by the Lord-Lieutenant of Ire
land, his Grace sat on the right OF his
hostess, the Duchess of AbercHn. In
the midst of the dinner the company
was startled by seeing the archbishop
rise from his seat, and still more start
led to hear him exclaim, in a dismal
and sepulchral tone, 1t has come! 1t
has come!"
"What has come, your Grace?" eag-
erly cried half dozen voices from dit
ferent parts of the table.
"What l have been expecting for
twenty years." solernnly answered the
archbishop-"a stroke of paralysis: ]
have been pinching nyself for the last
twenty minutes, and find mysef entirely
without sensation.

with a somewhat quizzical smile" par

How Mrs. Hayes Looks.


Mrs. Hayes is of medium height and
souare.built. Her head and features
are large. So is her waist, and her
hands and face are in proportion. She
has magnificent suit of hair. 1t is go
heavy and black, and is dressed SO
smoothly, that in the daytime it looks
dark and precise in contrast with her
clear olive complexion. The most
prominent feature of her face is her
mouth, which is large, (the jaw Is as
broad as a man's) and conspicuously
filed with strong white teeth. The lips
are particularly firm and full, with the
jaw Indicating decision of character and
an ardent temperament. The forehead
is broad and smooth, and the eyebrows
are regular. The eyes are large, but
deeply set, and are of that peculiar gray
which does not mean twilight depth
of blue, or any azure light of gray
They are decided gray, admitting OF
all the steel tints, from that of cold
metal to the gleam and glitter of the
polished ore. In the glow of intense
feeling such as animated her or
Inauguration Day, and at her first pub
lie reception, her eyes looked as BLACK
night, and they had lustre such ss
rarely seen. She made no effort tt
conceal her delight.
