In the valley of Gethsemane where sharons roses

And Jesus to his angels said: "What honor shall be
To her who was the mother OF the Lord of earth

Then answered they Lord, suffer not thy holy one

Then Jesus said: "Rise up. my Dove! my fair one,

Thou shalt not lie in darknessl Rise, to heavens

The lone apostles wept for her, beside her empty

sItsstssipp, Marriage Contracts.

Washington Post: 1.-The rights of married
women in Mississippi was involved In a de.
cislon in the United States supreme court
yesterday. The case was that of the Canal
bank of New Orlsans ct al. against VIM. B.
Partee, Sarah B. Psrtee and others; an ap-
peal from the circuit court for the southern
district of Mississippi. In this case 1t is de-
cided that under the code of Mississippi, in
order to authorize Judgment against a mar
ned woman, her liability must be established
by showing that she has separate estate,
chargeable with the obligation sued on; that
a married woman is incapable of being bound
by contract or Judgment, except in the special
cases authorized 10y law; and that if the suit
is against her and her husband no Judgment
will be rendered against her. unless the liza.
billy OF her separate property be first estab-
lished. The decision below was therefore re.
Versed. MIR. Justice Field delivered the
opinion, Mr.. Justice Miller dissenting.

A Helpless Infant Almost sunOcated

Helpless InTauC ALMOST suHOcdIcU'
Jackson Tribune and SrH: ''On Friday
last an infant child of Mr.. Nathan Baum, of
thi scity, was almost smothered to death, In
manner that would have rendered its mother
and father wretched for life. In the morn
ing, after breakfast, Mrs. Baum, laid the
child down and went into the yard for some
purpose. She returned in few minutes and
busted herself about her household duties
Among other things she took small feather
bed, and, without thinking of Aher infant,
which was asleep on her own bed, threw the
small feather bed on to her own bed, COM
pletely covering up the sleeping baoe. She
then went into the yard, aud, during her alb
sence, Mr. Baum, who had been sitting be-
fore the fire all the while, got up and started
down town. He had gone but short dis
lance when he missed his pipe, but being su-
perstitious about turning back after leaving
the house, he hesitated to return tor the
pire. But he says some mysterious impulse,
which he felt at the time but cannot describe,
impelled him that once for years to break
through a superstItious rule, and he returned
to the house. In looking for the missing
pipe he raised the small feather bed which
his wife several minutes before had thrown
on the family bed, and as he did so a stuffed
sound greeted his ear; he threw the bed back,
and there, black in the face and pulseless, lay
his baby, smother nigh unto death. 1t was
twenty minutes before circulation was re-
stored to the child, and an hour before II
could nurse. Tee escape from death was mar
row, and the mother and father were terri
| fed at the accident that came SO near endlne

Dr. Miller no Longer a Presbyterian

TRENTON, n. j :, April S.-Ihe preSbytery
OF New BrI nswick met in this city to-day and
passed almost unanimously the following
resolution concerning Rev. DR.. john Miller,
who was tried by the same body two years
ago for heresy:
ReSO!ced. That in the case of Mr.. John Mil
Ter, the presbytery judge, as sufficient tim
has elapsed to test the result and efficacy of
the discipline Of the church In bis case, and
as Mr.. Miller has shown both by his written
communication to this body and by his con-
duct that his views have not changed, the
presbytery now orders that his name be
erased from the roll as one having no longer
any authority from this or any other presby-
terry to exercise the functions of the ministry
Of the gospel.
The charges of heresy were made against
DIR. Miller IN the early part OF April, 1877,
and were based on articles contained in
book entitled Questions Aicdkened bv the
Bt6te, OF which he was the author. In this
book ne lmpugned the doctrine of the Trinity,
the Godshlp of Christ and denied the immor-
tallty OF the soul. His trial was begun at
Princeton on April %, 1877, by the presby-
terry OF New Brunswick, and on May 4th the
presbytery voted unanimously to suspend
him. He appealed to the synod, but that
body affirmed the Judgment of the presby-
terry. DIR. Miller is the son of Prof. Miller,
who was at one time at the head of the
Princeton theological seminary. He is about
ffty-three years old. During the war he
served as a captain in the Confederate army.
When the charges were made against him he
had no passionate.

EanEfnrv Medicine

Nashville Banner: ct exhibits a healthy
state of public sentiment to see so much in
terest on the subject of sanitary medicine.
1t is the most important branch of medical
science to the south, in view of the suffering
and loss Of last year. In occupied large
space IN the discussions of the State medical
society, and the State board of health is or
ganized for systematic work. 1t will be seen,
by reference to another column, that meet
ing OF the State boards of the Mississippi
valley has been called for Wednesday, April
Both, to meet in Memphis, for the purpose of
taking such steps as will lead to prompt CO.
operative quarantine to embrace the ports on
the Mississippi river. 1t must not be sup
posed that such an exigency is now on hand
BY no means, and it is greatly to be hoped
that 1t will never occur. But the people of
the valley ale alarmed at a prospective cpl
demlc Ut yellow lever, and it is the wish and
intention of the board to show the people
their determination to protect them, if pos
sible. If this is any comfort to them, they
may rest assured this board is composed of
men who will act. DIR. Plunket, the presi-
dent, has large experience for one of his
age, IN this branch of medicine, and has
achieved a reputation coequal with the
knowledge of sanitary medicine Drs.
Wight, Nancy and Atchison stand among
the foremost Of the profession as practition-
ers, as they have testified by long years of
application. Prof T. NJ. Stafford, as a scien-
tho man, has long been celebrated in the
world for his researches and discoveries, par
ticularly in geology and chemistry. Messrs.
johnson and Cole are fitting complement
to this association, being eminently men of
actions, born to direct systematic labor.
With this combination no such word as fail
may be looked for In their administration,
and all they need is the hearty cooperation
OF the whole State to assure success"
