What He Says about the Florida
Business.

OoStv000'
NEW YORK, June 16.-Hon. E. F..
Noyes, United States minister to
France, arrived in this city last night,
by the steamer City Of Richmond.
General Noyes was met on the land
ing by General Knapp, who was ad-
jutant-general of Ohio during his
gubernatorial term, and by several
othes friends. In conversation with
representative of the associated
press touching the matter that brought
him back at this time, he said: 81
went to Florida for no purpose on
earth except to ascertain the vote of
the state and to see whether or not
the popular vote had been cast for the
republican electors. / stated to the
two republican members Of the can
vassing board that all we wanted was
an honest decision. / never made
any promise to McLin or any other
member of the board, nor did l sug-
gest any possible reward or recogni-
ton III case Gov. Hayes should be de-
clared elected and SO far as McLin is
concerned, I never saw him alone one
moment in my life before the vote of
Florida had been cast. am inform
ed for the first time that even McLin
does not say made him any promis-
es. Had known that before leaving
Paris, l should not have demanded
subpoena, but should have remained
in France to attend to my public du-
ties. i do not care to be more specific,
as it would perhaps be in bad taste,
considering that l am SO soon to give
my sworn statement to the committee.
In the course of further converse.
tion, Minister Noyes said that while
he he did not care at this time to be
interviewed, he had nothing whatev-
er to conceal. He also expressed the
hope that every politician in the north
whether democrat or republican,
would be subpGnaed, who had visit
ed Florida on this business. as that
would be only fair to all parties in
terested or concerned in the matter.
1t was certainly due him, since he

Friday, after the vote on Bur-
chards resolution was announced.
in the House, Mr.. Finley changed
his vote from nay to yea amid
laughter.
Messrs. Hunton, Morrison and
Stenger, Democratic members of the
Potter Committee, voted aye, and
Blackburn and Springer voted nay.
Mr.. Hartridge rose to report on
the same subject from the Judiciary
Committee and report and resolu-
tion accompanying, on the Kimmel
bill.
Mr.. Springer made an unsuccessful
attempt to postpone the vote which
was taken.
Mr.. Springer tried to explain his
vote as did Cox, but both were pre-
vented by cries and shouts and by the
ruling of the Speaker.
The statement which Springer
vainly strove to make and which
Bliss end Robertson concurred in
was, 81 am opposed to all proceed
ings in reference to invalidating the
Presidents title, which are illegal,
unconstitutional or revolutionary.
If the title of the present incumbent
ls invalid and unassailable it needs no
action of Congress to quiet it; if, on
the contrary, it is fraudulent and the
lnvestis ating committee of this
House should 80 find and report. it
would be dishonorable on our part
to attempt to make it good, or to de-
clare by bill or resolution it was sa-
cred. If the title is good it needs no
defence if bad ] can never vote to
make it better. For these reasons |
vote no."
Subsequently Stevens, who had
been absent when the last two votes
were taken, had his chair wheeled in
to the hall and asked leave to have
his vote recorded in the affirmative
ON both votes and leave was granted
Mr.. Ewing moved to suspend the
rules and take from the Speakers ia
BILE the bill for repeal of the resump-
tion act, for the purpose of noncon-

Interesting "reminiscences.

DIR. Andrew A. Bonar, the biographer of
McCheyne, was moderator of the Free
Church Assembly which met lately at Glas-
gov, Scotland. In his closing address he
made the following affecting illusions to
the past "You will, perhaps, forgive me
if linger for few minutes among the
Jews. The mention of their name is like
coming within sight of Palestine. Aud who
is there who ever did so without seeking to
land on its shore, and get at least a glimpse
of Jerusalem and the Lake of Galilee When
the deputation on which | had the very
great privilege of taking part along with
Dr. keith-still spared, and still praying
daily for Israel in his retirement-and with
DR.. Black, and Robert Murray McCheyne,
who have long since gone TO where glory
dwelleth in lmmanuel's Land when that
deputation was in the land of Israel, we did
not feel that our interest in all its cities and
its remnant OF people prevented us from
watching with deep anxiety the progress of
events in Scotland. At the foot of Mount
Carmel, in the month of June, 1889, in let
ters from home we got tidings of the de-
cision of the House of Lords in the famous
Auchterarder case, which had such an inn
portant bearing on the future of our church
as free church of Christ. In our tents,
looking out on the same sea on which Eli
jah, from the top Of the hill, looked for the
little cloud that betokened rain, we sat and
conversed on the probable results of that de-
cision.-a little cloud, but one that held hur-
ricane within its grasp We found oul
hearts drawn out to pray for our beloved
church and land, with the shadow of Carmel
over us. So now, fathers and brethren, let
me express the hope that we, under oul
vine and fg-tree at home, remembering
what blessings our church received formerly
in attending to the cause of scattered Israel
may never allow our interest TO be cooled
down, or our prayers in their behalf to cease

Advantages Of a Religious Newspaper.

minister's power for usefulness is greatly
augmented If his people are religiously intel
ligent They know better how to appreciate
the truth preached, for the seed of the king
dom will not fall on stony ground, but in a
genial soil, where it will quickly germinate,
grow, and bear abundant fruit. A Chris
tian's worth depends largely on his intel
ligence, sympathy, and activity, and these
are all enhanced by the weekly visits of a
good paper. We may well then ask, what
responsibility or duty has the pastor or
stated supply in seeing that his flock is not
suffering for the lack of good religious
papers The pastoral relation is of divine
ppointment-not human-and his duties
are twofold TO feed the flock with knowledge
and understanding, and care for it over
which the Holy Ghost has made him an
oyerseer." We have been led TO put a
higher estimation on the religious press,
from what we have seen and experienced.
Other things being equal, beyond question
those congregations well supplied with our
church papers are the most useful a1d pros
porous, and it is a marked feature in them
that their pastors have taken it upon them
selves, in the pulpit and in private ways, to
encourage their circulation. The interests
OF the pastor and flock are inseparable in
this. The truth is, ministers cannot af-
ford to be Indifferent toward a subject of
such vital Importance to themselves and
their congregations. We are familiar with
churches and families that are suffering for
this kind of culture. They know but little
what their church is doing and the wants of
our benevolent schemes Their spiritual
sympathies are whitening for proper nutri-
ment. BY a little effort good paper may
be placed in a household that may continue
its weekly visits for generation, freighted
with blessings to parents and children, For
such efforts this is most favorable time.
