quired In witness the rule Of law, as at pros
eut understood, seoms TO be this: That the
person Is competent to testify IL he believes In
the being Of God and future state of rewards
and punishmonts-thatis is, that divine punish
mont will be the certain consequence ofperjury.
IL may be considered Ms now generally set
tied In this country that IL is not material
whether tho witness believes that the punish
ment will be inflicted in this world or In the
next. 1t is enough If he has the religious
sense of accountability to the Omniscient Be-
ing who Is invoked by an oath.
80. Moral Competency Presuned.-1t should
here be observed that defect Of religious faith
Is nerer presumed On the contrary, tho law
presumes that every man brought up IN a
Christian land where God is generally
acknowledged, does believe in him and fear
him. The charity Of It's judgment is extended
alike to all. The burden of proof is not on the
party adducing the witness to prove that he is
a believer, but II Is on the ohiocting parties
to prove that he Is not. Neither does the law
presume that any man is hypocrite. On the
contrary, it presumos him TO be what lie pro-
lcsses himself to be- whether atheist or
Christian, and the state Of mans opinion as
well rs the sanity of his mind being once
proved, is, us we have already seen, presumed
to continue unchanged until the contrary is
shown. The state of his religious belief at the
timo he is offered as witnes Is fact to he as
contained, and this Is presumed to be the com
mon faith Of the country,unless the ohjectorcan
prove that it is not. The ordinary mode OF
showing this is by evidence of his declarations
previously made to others, the person himself
not being intcrrogated, for the object OF inter
rogating witness in these eases before he is
sworn is not to obtain the knowledge Of other
facts, but to ascertain from his answers the
extent OF his capacity and whether nc has suf'
iiciont und erstanding to he sworn.
In support of this practice numerous cases
are cited, among thom being Per Lord Hard
wicko, Atk., As; Smichund VS.. Barker, Atk.,
81; Tyler on Oaths, Starky evid., 22 1 Phil
evid., 10; Butts VS.. Swartwood, 2l Cowcn, 431

AMATEUR NIGHT.
Scenes at the Soldiers, Fair Last f,


Scenes nt the Soldiers Fair Last Evening.
Amateur night at tho Fair brought large
crowd to Masonic Temple, and rs the receipts
last night were the best Of the week business
was unusually brisk. None Of the ladies Mt
the various tables complained OF any lack Of
attention, and yhen tho hour for closing ar
rived wraps were donned with alacrity and
the hall was soon deserted. AT Mrs. Hough's
| table the National Theatre privatebox
| chances were all disposed of, and tho raflle
will take place this evening at o'clock Tho
entertainment provided by Manager Hay was
very enjoyable one, the following pro-
gramme being carried out:

business Affairs In England.

Our Consul, Mr. Shepard, at Bradford, Eng,
in recent dispatch to the Department Of
State, represents that the manufacturing in
tcrcsts of England are steadily recovering
from their lato depression. The agricultural
prospects are not encouraging. There seems
no hope for the English farmer, except in u
large reduction Of rents, while wheat can
bo carried from Chicago to Liverpool for
about ffty-four cents Der hundred pounds
Mr. Shepard speaks in high commentator of
the postoilice saving banks of Great Britain,
established in 1861. The system has proved
an entire success. There are 1881 of these
banks in the kingdom. In the town of Brad
ford alone there are fourteen. The total
amount of deposits is nearly $500O00O0 or
410,00OOO0. All classes participate in their
benefits. Female servants are the most nu-
merous, their average deposits being $40
Government clerks have average balances of
$780, professional mon, $780, millinors, sos.
The rate of interest is only 81 per cent.
