The Rev. Doctor STEWART completed a
decade rs pastor of the First Presbyterian
Church Of this place last Sunday. For these
days this is Il long pastorate, but the Doctor
has so cndcarcd himself to his parishiOners
that it is quite probable, should life and health
be spared, he will remain here many more
years.
The present membership Of the church is
3l3. Twenty-cight members have died du-
ring the ten years; some Of them the most
liberal and devoted of all the friends of the
chnrcll.
The bcnoyolence Of the congregation has
been muniiccnt and praiscworthy. The con-
tributions for all purposes amount to nearly
800, 900; of this sum 900 was given to the
several missionary and benevolent societies
of the Presbyterian church at large. The in
debtcdncss Of the church has been fully pro-
vided for, so that the congregation enters up
on another decade free from debt
Last evening the ladies Of the church gave
Doctor STEWART and his good wife recep-
ion at the Church Parlors, in commcmor;l-
ton Of the anniversary of their arrival here.
The congregation attended in large numbers,
and the evening was most pleasantly and
profitably spent. A sumptuous rcpaSt was
spread, congratulations offered, and the hearty
unfeigned desire expressed that the happy and
pleasant relation existing between pastor and
people might long continue.
On returning to the parsonage after the re-
ception, Mrs. STEWART found that her home
had been visited and handsome set of china
left, as anotherss0UUenir of the anniversary.
Il. S. TnURBUR has been confined to his
house for the last five weeks by an attack of
rheumatism.

1t is reported, on trustworthy authority,
that ECCLEs ROBINSON has withdrawn from
the defence of the action begun by his wife
for divorce, and will allow her to take judg-
ment unopposed. This conduct on his part
is not in consequence Of new developments in
the case. but rather it is in consequence Of tho
leaking out Of facts-through the recent triai
about furniture-in the possession of the
plaintiffs attorneys and witnesses, which
showed quite conclusively the Mr. ROBINSON
was deceiving his council and friends. Mr..
MILLARD therefore withdrew from the de-
fence. and Mr.. ROBINSON has taken himself
out of the city, and probably for good. Ac-
cording to reports, he has for once made Il
clean breast of it, BinghGn,t0n Republican.

How Big is Man.

Somehow when mans mind be.
comes really enlarged-say, like
that of Baron Humboldt-and he
is able To place in focus more and
more OF the cosmos of which he
forms a part, the things he at the
outset of his life regards as the
largest gets smaller and smaller
until at last that erst immense and
overwhelmingly important thing,
himself, becomes so insignificant
that it is only through process of
mental microscopy he can discern
his little identity among the ami.
malculR that float, swim, or wrig.
gle across the field of view. How
big is man anyway Well, be is
smaller than an elephant, and an
elephant is smaller than a noun.
tain, and mountain is smaller
than the world, and the world is a
mustard seed compared with the
sun, and the sun itself is a mere
mote in the dustcloud of spheres
that stretches out through the uni.
verse beyond the reach of thought.
Suppose We could make an exact
model OF the earth eighty feet in
diameter. Eighty feet in diameter
would be a pretty large ball as
balls 60 on the face of this planet.
Assume, for the sake of easy cal.
culation, the diameter of the earth
to be exactly 5000 miles, and let
us proceed to build our model to
scale. A mountain five miles high
should represent on our model
5.SO.OOOth of so feet, or Cloth of
an inch. An elephant built in pro-
portion should be 1-4.OO0th of an
inch in height, and an average man
7.2S.SOOOth of an inch tall. An
army of 26,400 standing shoulder
to shoulder in single straight
rank would require their general to
galop over q space of an inch to
pass them all under review. With
a smart horse of proportionate size
ridden at brisk gallop, he could
accomplish the distance in about an
hour. Viewed in this way, a man
is mere mite, crawling over the
face of the globe, yet he has had
the arrogance to think the universe
was formed for him more than for
any other insects, and that the Rul.
ing Intelligence had him preemi-
nently in view in bringing order out
of chaos.-Scientifc Ners.

Of an education, aud determined to

as a machinist. While he was at
his work his old associates cut Kim
and refused to have nything to do
with him. The young ladies with
whom he had been q great favorite
failed to recognize him when they
met him. One day, while going
from his work, he met q wealthy
young lady who had been his
friend.
He had his tin dinner. bucket
over his arm, and supposed she
would cut him as all the reat had
done. She smiled pleasantly, ad.
dressed him as "Tom," and insist
ed that he should call and ace her
as he had always done. She said:
There is no change in you, a. far

of the den came gliding up from a

put out his long tongue, as if to
