BEECHER'S DoCTRINE.-ReV Mr.
Morrison, editor of the Presbyterian
Ueektu, or this city, lately addressed
letter to Henry Ward Beecher, ask
ing if the secular press had properly
represented his views of the "atone-
ment" and of "retribution" to the
finally impenitent. Mr.. Beecher re-
plies to Mr.. Morrison, stating that he
has been misrepresented by the re-
porters, and that his sermons are
OILY reliably reported in the Chris
tim Onion, of New York. He says
that for twenty-five years he has
preached and printed, in every con-
ceivable form, 'the truth of the in
spiration of the sacred scripture, the
existence and government of God, the
doctrines of the Trinity, the divinity
of Christ as very God, the doctrine
Of a change Of heart, the effiracious
influence Of the Holy Spirit in regen-
Grafton, and the doctrine of retribu-
tic both here and hereafter" As to
the latter, he explains that the ques-
ton Of the nafWe of suffering, the
o6ect of penalty, and the point of du-
ration he has discussed with such
light as he had, leaving it to be in
ferred, as he does hot deny it. that
he doubts the eternity of punishment;
and he adds that his object is not to
defend any system of theology or
church government, but to build men
up in holiness of lifo.-BaltO. SIN.

Chesapeake and Ohio Canal.

ANNAPOLIS, January 10 The
Directors of the Chesapeake aud Ohio
Canal Company held an rportant
meeting this afternoon, at which it
was decided to issue bonds to the
amount of half u thillion dollars in
order to repair the damage to the
canal from the flood. 1t appears that
the losses are greater than any Of the
estimates that haye yet &ppeared,
and although the reports of the ergi-
neers have nGt yet been received, 1t
has been thought necessary to issue
that amount of bonds. In order to
make clear tie status of these bonds
short account of previous issues is
necessary. In 1874 the Legislature,
in order to complete the canal to
Cumberland, authorized. the issue of
preferred construction BINDS, the line
Of the State being waived in favor of
that issue. When the canal W. COM
pIeted to Cumberland the portion
previously built was 50 greatly in
need Of repairs that in 1918 another
issue of bonds was authorized, known
as rep lir bonds. The precise status
of this issue was not defined until
the decision of the Court of Appeals
in 1870 in the case of the Common
wealth of Virginia against the Canal
COmp1ry. when it was decided that
as the issue of the repair bonds was.
necessary to the Very preservation of
the canal and to the security of all
the other lines, that they constituted
first line, having priority over
even the preferred construction
bonds. These repair bonds and ac.
crued interest have since been paid
off in full, and all the coupons upon
the preferred construction bonds up
to 1868 have been taken up. 1t is
determined that since a necessity
similar to that of 1913 has befallell
the canal, another issue of repair
bonds will be made to the amount of
half a million dollars 1t is proposed
to have introduced to-day, a bill
giving the Company power to issue
!
these bonds, and as they will con-
stitue first line upon the property
and revenues Of the canal, it is be-
Iieved that they will at least stand at
par.

THE MANUFACTURE OF PAPER
a lecture was delivered recently by
Mr. William ArnOt, +. c. s., of Ed
inburgh, on the manufacture o. pa
per, at the rooms of the Society of
Arts, London. 1t was generally ad-
admitted, he said that the process of
paper-making was introduced into
England about the hegini ~ of the
fifteenth century, and into Scotland
at the end of the Seventeenth cen
tury. The process of converting rags
into pulp was until the lat century
very labOri0uS, but at that time the
HOllander or beating machine was
invented, which completely revOlu-
tiOniZed the mode of making paper.
The lecture gave some interesting
statistics relative to the trade. The
number of mills in Britain was 335,
of which G5 were in Scotland. There
We're in these mills 526 machines at
work producing annual 100000 tons
Of paper, to which must be added
10000 tons made by hand. The total
production was thus 100000 tons,
valued at 920,00O,0O0. The exports
of England amounted to 10000 tons,
while she imported q 600 tons. With
re-pect to the consumption of paper
in different countries Mr.. Arn0t STAT
ed that in Russia the annual con-
sumption was pound per head OF
the population; in spain, Il; Mex
leo and Central America, 3; Italy
and Austria, 3; France, 7, Germany,
s; United States, 10!, and Britain

The Legacy of the COnfederacy.

Some explanation is being made
in regard to the claim Of the United
States to the money in the Bank OF
England to the credit ofthe late Con
federacy and the chances of the Gov
ernment obtaining it. When Mr.
BristoW was Secretary of the Treas
ury he sent one or two special agents
over to London to inquire into the
matter, but it does not appear that
anything ever came of their labOrs.
Caleb Cushing gave an opinion that
whatever money Or property was left
by the Southern COnfederacy belong
ed to the United States, and recently
certain party applied to Secretary
Sherman for contract to secure it
for certain percentage. The Secre-
tary was rather dubious of renewing
the scIaiin, and the Solicitor OF the
Department opposed it, on the
ground that to press the claim would
involve the United States to "A GER
tain extent for the indebtedness OF
the cotton loan, and for that reason
the Government had better not un-
dertake to claim the money alleged
to be in the Bank Of England. This
opinion, however, it is not believed,
will deter the Government from Off
cially making inquiry as to whether
there is money deposited in the Bank
of England to the credit of the Con-
federacy. The Joint High Commits,
sion in framing the Treaty Of Wash
ington fully discussed the probable
claims of British subjects, and in this
treaty, in providing for arhitra ton

cotton loan We're excluded. if there
Is then, any sum in the bank it can
be claimed as the unincumbered

amount has been estimated as high
as 0,000, 600, but in all probability
il is not at the outside more than ten
or eleven millions.

A mean Covington, KY, grocer
was nicely sold at Christmas. He
purchased from a dollar store a table
castor, which he marked with a tag
inscribed "Sl4," and gave it to a
Methodist preacher, whose church
his family attended. The reverend
gentleman next day brought the cas-
tor back to the groceryman and said
to him 81 am too poor in this

valuable IA castor on my taule, and if
you have no objection | should like
to return it and take Sl4 worth OF

Mr.. Hendricks will do we'll to
hurry up his mind on the silver ques-
ton. If he is going to head off the
Tilden movement he must have
strong hold on the popular heart
somewhere, and the sooner he begins
to establish the grip the better. Mr.
Tilden will start in presently with
the powerful observation that q
Democratic candidate cannot be elec.
ted unless he can carry New York

Ma poleon'S Fopdness Fer Dress.

In the national songs of France, Ma
poleon is the Little Corporal in the
plain gray coat; but we may be sure
that the gray coat was carefully ar
ranged, even as the cooked hat was de-
signedly worn in a fashion till then
unknown. And, as matter of fact,
the Emperor did not always array him
self in that sober colored vesture which
Mr.. Tennyson has described as the
symbolic robe of freedom. An English
traveller who visited Paris during the
brief interval of the Peace of Amiens.
and was introduced to the First Con-
sui, has left on record his establishment
at seeing the great enemy Of England
in scarlet, richly laced, by the way,
with gold. 1t may interest some to
know that Napoleon set apart $4,000 a
year for dress. Unfortunately he had
a weakness for white kersey mere
breeches; and, being often wholly alb
sorbed with cares of State, as courtly
chroElclers apogetically observe, he
would constantly spill ink or gravy or
coffee npon the aforesaid garments,
which he FASTENED to change as soon
as he perceived the misllap. This cir
cumstance cost the blameless but timid
Comte de Remusat his place as Master
of the Robes. For the Emperor soiled
his clothes, and especially his white
breeches, SO frequently and so griev
ously that the imperial tailor IN. Le-
ger) was constantly receiving fresh or
ders, and $4,000 year became quite
insufficient to meet that functionary' g
little bills. Now tho Comte de Remu-
sat, who knew that the Emperor hated
any disorder in his accounts, was fool
ishly afraid to speak to him on the
subject. Meanwhile NJ. Leger became
pressing in his demands for payment
At first he sent in his bill every month,
then every fortnight, then every week
then twice a week, then every day;
but the Master of the Robes continued
to return unsatisfactory answers. Al
length NJ. Leger, whose patience wat
exhausted, took the bold step of com.
planning to the Emperor in person, al
the very moment that his Majesty wal
trying on a new Uniform. With as
tonishment and anger Napoleon learn
ed that he owed his tailor $4,000. The
same day he paid the bill and dismiss
ed NJ. de Remusat from his post, which
was given to NJ. de Montesquin- Fezen
sac, a chamberlain in the imperia
household. "Ihope, Monsieur le Com
to-" said Napoleon, between a smil
and frown, to the newly appointed
Master, "you will not expose me to tn
disgrace of being dunned for tn
breeches that am wearing."-(Corn
