DANcING.IN A CATHEDRAL, SpAIN.-lt
is curious and exhilerating spectacle In the
cathedral Of Seville, during the celebration OF
mass, to see number of boys, in cooked hats,
knee brooches and silk stockings, gravely dane
inc mipuet before the altar. 1t is even more
curious to find that the custom is one of the
gravest antiquity. More than a thousand
years ago, when the Arabs captured the city
and invaded the cathedral, some young men,
by dancing gEavey and slowly forward, held
their attention while the canons, laden with
treasures escaped at the back of the church.
And in commemoration of this arti6ce, ever
since the cathedral came agsin into Christian
hands, the dance had been feature OF the
service.

TuURsDAY EVENING, MAY l6, 1878.

BAPTISM OF A MoHAMMEDAN.-ID pap
t;sm Of a Mohammedan, man of independent
means, and twenty three years OF age, a GER
tain Mustapha Lessi, took place on Easter
Sunday, at four o'clock in the afternoon, at
the Church of St. Thomas, Liberty Of the
Rolls. The Rev. l.. B. White performed the
ceremony; the Revs. J. Fl. Moran and Passa-
lcpti, and several English ladies, being present
as witnesses. The officiating clergyman, Wlt'
ncsses. and assistants were much moved at this
great event. They then left the ohurcn ana "en'
to the school room, where the ltalians were
gathered in largo number, to hear the Gospei
and to worship God. Easter Sunday vii! be a
memorable day, and it is hoped the bless
ing will continue.
TIE HEnEsY TRIALS IN ScoTLAND.-ln
the case of the Rev. Fergus Ferguson the
Glasgow U. P. Presbytery has declared the
first count Of the libel relevant. The SESSION
was LONG and stormy, some of the members
forgetting their ministerial dignity, and IN one
instance proceeding to blows. Concerning
Professor Robertson Smith the Aberdeen Free
Church PEesbytery has taken up the third and
final charge and declared it irrelevant. 80 tar,
then, as the action Of the Presbytery and
Synod goes the professor has been vindicated'
1t only remains for the General Assembly to
review his case, and this will hardly be more
than matter of form. Possibly, however,
proceedings may yet be taken in the Presby'
tcry, in view of the "dcep offense and wide un-
easiness" caused by his writings, to "admon-
.sh" Mr.. Smith.

WESTERN Md. COLLEGE, Sept. 14th, 1873
MIR. EDITOR: Time in its rapid flight has car
ried US through another vacation and brought us
TO the threshold ofan another scholastic year SO
swiftly are we borne over these delightful inter-
inns, that we seem scarcely to have hidden adeu
to the textbooks and recitation rooms when
September recalls us to their companionship
and the routine of college labor. remarkably
Kindred feeling pervades the minds of all teach
ers respecting the return to duty after the pleas
ures of vacation, and the natural expressions of
interest in the matter of prospective fields OLA
Dor, prove that with our profession at least set
ting aside the original application, "a fellow
feeling makes us wondrous kind"
Our college has opened with the most 1lattcr-
ing prospects for the year. The number of stu.
dents registered and classed at my writing is one
hundred and six, with expectations of other ar
rivals The State scholarships are filled, with
two or three exceptions. AS a class, they bid
fair to give the faculty satisfaction, nearly all
being competent to enter the freshman class
which will enable them to complete the collie
gate course under the provisions of the State
MIR. Greenfield, the State representative from
Hartford, Is with us, and is rapidly winning the
esteem OF the faculty by his studious and re-
spectful bearing.

The Walking Horse.

An exchange says: The horse that
walks ought to be the horse for which our
agricultural societies offer their best pre-
miums. Why the horse that trots should
be looked for, his coming welcomed, and
his performance win the highest honors, on
an occasion when farmers are supposed to
be assembled to encourage each other in
those things most promotive of successful
agriculture is past finding out. Of what
advantage is horse that trots in $50 for
daily labor9 The physique that fits him
for making such time is almost sure to un-
fit him for drawing plough or for the
cart. Sometimes, of course, the horse ofall
work may know how to distance ali corners
on the race track, but if he can, he is very
apt to be more on the track than on the farm,
and his owner too, for that matter 1t is
the compactly built, active horse, the horse
which we believe is technically said to
have good nerve, and that has been trained
to walk rapidly and pull good load after
him, that the farmer needs
The above item, which we find floating
around the realm of newspaperdom, might
as well not be published, for, although it
sets forth an important fact, it will not be
needed by agricultural societies. 1t is too
slow for the business they have in hand. 1t
is not their province to show the qualities
of the horse that would most benefit agri-
culturists. The walking horse has been
tried and he does not attract. 1t is diver
sion and excitement that is wanted on the
track, not utility. The ring may be of adj
vantage so far as this goes-the bringing
together the many who like this species
of excitement-but there is great danger of
running into an excess and breaking I'D
societies by offering too large premiums
for fast horses. And then, too, racing fos-
tiers jockeyism and gambling and has bad
moral effect. If it can be kept within
proper bounds it would not be so mis-
chievous. But if, as mentioned above the
walking gait of horses could be improved
by the fostering process of societies offering
premiums, it would be of incalcuable adj,
vantage to the agricultural interests
