A LONDON LETTER in San Francisco
paper states that Lord Harrington be-
longs to the great family of the Duke of
Devonshire, and that it was to Devon
shire House, Piccadillv, that the Queens
messenger was sent to summon him to
Windsor
Those who have visited London" the writer
proceeds, " must surely have noticed this gloomy.
imposing mansion standing behind great stone
wall, whose wide open gates show the roomy.
courtyard and the mausoleum-l looking house
beyond: Its exterior is not without a strong
suggestion of gloomy grandeur. principally de-
rived from the great size of the house and its
air OF tranquil seclusion amid the roaring rush
OF flccadllly; but not until one crosses the
threshold and visits the house, as l have, can
any idea of the priceless magnifcence of the
place be conceived. The central entrance hall
is gloomy low, and dark, but the superb stair
case at the rear, a marvellous construction. in
the hnest Carrara marble, with a wondrous
6alustrade, which rivals the splendor of the
ltallan palaces, Is more than sufficient to re-
deem the hall itself Once on the staircase
you see through the wide windows one of the
most unsupported beauties of the house-the
lovely park attached to it in the rear, an i'm
mense velvet sward dotted with magnificent
trees, some of them of great antiquity The
rooms en- the first floor are nothing short of
palatial, gorgeous with rich hangings resplen-
dent with masterpieces by Rafaelle Domen-
lehrno and Velasquez, while over every door
way and window and introduced profusely in
all the decorations, both mural and of the fur
niture, are seen the armorial device of the house
of Devonshire-the snake with tail and head
lnterlaced Twas present few months ago at
one of the rare festivities given at Devonshire
House-an afternoon concert. There is no
Duchess now and the Duke is an old man but
the honors of the day were done by ladies of
the family, principally the Dukes daughter.
Some OF your eteg0RteS would indeed have been
astonlshed to see the exceeding quietude of
this ladys costume on the occasion. 1t was
simply nothing more or less than navy blue
serge, with linen collar and cuffs. At her waist
hung an enormous chatelaine in massive chased
silver, bearing the score or so of articles neces-
ssary to housekeeper-na scissors, pen
knife keys, pincushion, tweezers thlmbiecase
needlecase, &c. She is handsome. very fair
blonde of some thirty-f or so, with a complex
ION like Strawberries and cream and fine SYM
metrical figure"
Our object in making this extract is
to call the attention of those fine ladies
among us who think it unsuitable in
persons having little money to engage
in the discharge of household duties
or to wear plain clothes, to the ladies
of the Devonshire family-equal in
birth to the very proudest of our Vir-
ginians who can trace their pedigree
to the settlers that came over with
Captain John Smith--some of them no
doubts as buffers or chambermaids from
Devonshire House
All if our women would think lit
tie less of dress, and realize the wherein
consists the true loveliness of woman
The unbought grace of genuine breeding

The Southern Presbyterian makes a
good point in Prof. Robertson Smith
case. It remarks:
AS will be seen from the vote on the resolu.
-tions before the Assembly, there was a small
majority in favor of retaining this Professor
whose teachings are inconsistent with the doc
trines of the Church. The resolution adopted
pronounces Professor Smiths statements blame
worthy, and he is admonished not TO continue
to teach as he has done in the past; but at the
same time he is restored TO his Professorship.
lie has not so far as we are aware announced
that his views have undergone any change 50
that, if he resume his chair, it would seem that
he must either teach what he does not believe
in obedience to the Assembly OF teach what he
does believe. in spite of the admonition of the
Assembly, whose agent and representative he is
But it remains to be seen whether he will be
willing to resume his chair in the face of the
~ votes declaring want Of confidence in him,
and 299 votes declaring that they are willing
that he should go on, provided the defects re.
terred to will be guarded against and avoided IN
time to come"
Prof. Smith is placed in a position
either to teach what he does not believe,
in obedience to the Assembly; or he

DEATH OF Rev B. F. THOMPSON
Only few months ago we noticed the
departure of this young minister to join
the mission at Pernambuco, Brazil, and
now comes the sad news Of his death Just
as he had entered upon his work He
died of malarial fever on the 9th of
April. Our Church, in its missionary
work, loses an able and devoted laborer,
and Rev. J. Rockwell Smith is again left
alone in his important mission. Mr.
Thompson ranked high in the seminary
as student, and was well fitted for the
work on which he had entered.

PROF. O. H. Toy who was forced to re-
sign his professorship in the Baptist The
illogical Seminary at Louisville, KY, on
account of his views of inspiration, has
been chosen Professor of Oriental Ian
guages in Howard University, in the
place of Prof. Edwin j. Young, resigned.
Prof Toy graduated at the University
of Virginia twenty-four years ago. After
the war he studied two years in Germany,
and was ten years professor in the Bap-
fist Theological Seminary.
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1880-06-23

The Free. Church let Prof. Smith off
on the ground that his errors were not
doctrinal, but merely on point Of criti-
cism. By the same criticism the Tubin-
gen school rejected nearly the whole of
the New Testament.

IT WILL be seen from the letter of Rev.
B. M. Wales on the first page of this
paper that the church of Covesville was
destroyed by a storm on the 18th instant.
The people will commence the work of
rebuilding at once. They have the sym
pathy of many Christian friends in the
great loss which they have sustained, and
although they have not asked for any aid,
it would be handsome expression of
Christian sympathy, for those who can,
to help them rebuild.

The Philadelphia Grand Jury, at its recent
session, recommended the establishment of

Certainly why not? If people are not

good to be whipped
