THE general assembly of the free church
of Scotland, which adjourned on Saturday,
rejected, by q vote of 300 against 292 a
motion depriving Rev. ROBERTSON SMITH
Of his prolessorship. Professor SMITH will
simply be admonished. This case has been
now pending for about four years, and it
arose out of two articles, one upon angels
and the other concerning the bible, which
Professor SMITH wrote for the last edition
of the Encyclopedia Britannica. In these
articles Professor SMITH called in question
the inspiration of the bible, holding, for in
stance, that the book Of Deuteronomy was
a forgery, and that some of the books of the
new testament were likewise spurious. As
for angels, he advanced ideas which were
equally repugnant to the doctrines of the
presbyterian church, of which he is an
eminent member Summoned before the
court of his synod, he refused to retract n
word which he had written, and the case
went up from the synod to the presbytery
and thence to the general assembly, where
it has now been decided in his favor. The
decision is regarded with great interest, as
showing how far liberalism has obtained a
foothold in the presbyterian churches oil
Scotland.

THE democrats in Maine did not even
have the courage to name an electoral
ticket. That duty was left to a committee,
which is ordered to act in conjunction with
the grcenbaclS committee The prospect,
therefore, is that there will be n mongrol
ticket of greenbackers and democrats.
Should such a combination be elected, and
should the election of president hinge
upon its action, what glorious possibilities
would be opened to a sincere lover of green
backs,

A HIGHLY sensational paragraph has an
peared in a Quebec paper, having refer
ence to the narrow escape of the governor
general and the princess from a fearful
death on their late journey from Ottawa to
Quebec, on the North Shore railway It is
said that great care was taken to keep the
occurrence quiet, The special train with the
vice-regal party was to pass an express
train at station called Montebello, fifty
miles from Ottawa. The express was TO
arrive first and run in on the switch. 1t
did arrive, ran up the main line beyond the
switch, and backed down upon it. Unlor-
tunatoly all the hands on the spot could
not close the switch, and the special was
heard laundering along toward the station.
A man rushed up the track toward the in
coming train, waving his hands, but with
out q signal flag, and the engineer fortu-
nately lost no time in applying the brakes
and making efforts to stop the train, which
was happily accomplished.

BLAINE makes ravages on him in Texas
and SHERMAN swoops all the delegates
from South Carolina. There is nothing for
GRANT in New England, while New Jersey
and Maryland loathe him. New York and
Pennsylvania arc in revolt, Illinois will not
be admitted at all, and Colorado hangs
shivering in the wind. Nevertheless, we
expect GRANT to show up with few stall
warts on the first ballot
THE bill which passed the house last
session, and is now on the calendar of the
senate, creating the Office Of inspector of
plumbing for the District Of Columbia,
meets with general favor, and is calculated
to have q good effect on the sanitary condi-
ton of our houses. Such an Office exists
in Baltimore, and has thus far proven very
acceptable The provision that the in
spector shall be disqualified from doing
business as a plumber while holding Office
is very proper, and takes from him the
power to use his Office for the advancement
of his own business and to pass upon the
efficiency of his own work The provision
makes it necessary that the choice of such
an inspector shall be iudiciously made.
THE Cincinnati Commercial has been
amusing itself lately by publishing lists of
republicans who will not support Cen
eral GRANT if nominated. These names
are sent on postal cards in accordance with
the earnest desire of Mr.. HALsTEAD. Prom
inent among those published on Tuesday
was the following:

most intolerable, at least in our hemis-
phere it is otherwise. The cause of this
phenomenon can obviously be found
only in that great magnet which is form
ed by the earth with its atmosphere, /. c +,
terrestrial mangetism. This magnetism
eXerts on certain persons, both hearty
and otherwise, who are sensitive, pc
culiar influence wonderful enough to
disturb their rest, or in the case of dis
eased persons disturbing the circulation
the nervous functions, and the equilib-
rum of the mental powers. There are
persons whom | know, the head OF
whose bed is to the north, and who, in
order to wake early, reverse their usual
position in bed, from that of north to
south, but without understanding the
reason why, beyond that they could al
ways awake earlier, the sleep being
more broken. | have had it related TO
me that, at military hospital in Russia,
there were patients of highly sensitive
natures who were rapidly recovering.
When necessity compelled them to be
removed to another wing OF the building
they did not get on so WELL in fact, pros
tration seemed to be setting in, and it
was found advisable to get them to their
former wards as soon as possible, where
the heads of the beds were TO the north.

Matrlmony In Ireland.
Dublin Mail.

The Young ladies of Ireland ought to be
very grateful TO Mr. Corbet, the member
for Wicklow, for the anxiety he displays
in their behalf On Friday night he
gave notice that on Monday he would
ask the Chief Secretary if his attention
hal been called TO the marked decrease
in the number of marriages in Ireland
during the year 1879 as shown by the
statistical Abstract for the United
Kingdom in each of the last fifteen
years"
1t appears that the number of marri-
ages has fallen to 23,3l3, or below the
average Of the twelve preceding years
by 500, being l49 less than the total of
Scotland, where the population is below
that of Ireland by l,702, ,29s. Mr.. Cor
bet, with all the gallantry of his race, is
naturally perturbed IN his mind at the
fearful state of things which these figures
show. lie cannot understand how the
hitherto amorously inclined Hibernlan
has been outdone by the calculating
Scot. and therefore be demands from
Mr. Foster an explanation of the
phenomenon. What precise course the
member for Wicklow would have the
Government adopt in order to encourage
matrimony it is hard to see. Perhaps a
short act on the lines OF the Disturbance
till to grant compensation to maidens
for the disturbance of their feelings con-
sequent on the dilatorIness on the part
of their sutors, might meet the
views OF the home member. Young
men who have attained the age OF five
and-thirty without being married might
be scheduled and made liable to pay
compensation to any young lady who
could prove before a competent tribunal
that she I'd not had reasonable pro-
posal" made to pay. An enactment such
| as this would, no doubt, affect the mar
riage market. but II would be too bad if
any Of Mr. Corbets fair constituents IN
Wicklow were the first to avll them
selves Of the benefit OF the act by pro-
ceeding against the honory member
| himself.

A Terrible Experience.
Philadelphia Press

A young man whose head was devoid
of bat was found wandering down the
northwestern section of the city at a
I very early hour yesterday morning, and
when accosted by policeman exctedly
/ exclaimed my God, nave had ter
rible experiencep When pressed for
his story he related the following
II retired about ten o'clock last night
in a room adjoining that occupied by
my wife and dau, hter. About two
O'Clock in the morning my wife became
restless, and, entering nv room, aroused
me with the inquiry 4 wonder what
that noise is down stairs | heard
something that sounded like 4 door
being slammed shut, assured her that
il was only the wind blowing against
the shutters, and she went back to her
room. Some time after, how long l
can't state, heard creaking noise, but
attributed il to some other occupant of
the house going down or coming up
stairs. then became concious of a dim
light in the room, and heard voices,
but was unable to open my eyes for
couple of minutes, and my lips refused
TO move. My body was numb and
couldn't move limb. After a little
while | was able TO partly unclose my
eyes, and | saw sitting on trunk a man
whose face was partly concealed with a
handkerchief or white cloth. One of
the men, whom / couldn't see, must
have observed my eyes opening, for /
heard a voice say III guess you had
better give HIM more All right was
the reply, and the party addressed came
to the head of the bed and becamecon-
scious of sickening odor. ! held my
breath, almost bursting a blood vessel,
until the oder disappeared but my limbs
were useless. 1t was terrible moment,
and my heart throbbed heavily and
quickly. Again | heard voice say |
guess we'd better skip and the light
disappeared. heard the same creak-
ing noise on the stairs and the heavy
footsteps of some one walking up and
down the pavement alongside of the
house. With considerable effort | sue
ceeded in getting out of bed and tottered
TO the room in which my wife and child
were sleeping. | breathed a sigh of
relief when | found they were all right.
[ then searched the house and found
that nothing was missing, but a window
in the rear of the second story was un-
fastened. What | had just passed
through worked so on my nervous sys-
TEN that ! was compelled to leave the
house in the hope that the fresh air
would benefit me-" The man was ut
terly exhausted, and while he related
his experience his teeth fairly ratified.
The gentleman who had tnis terrible
experience lives in the neighborhood
of Twenty-fourth street and Columbia
avenue, and is well known in his pro-
fession. His name is Withheld at his
earnest personal solicitation, Some of
his family say that he had vivid dream
or a bad attack of nightmare, but he
himself asserts that while either of
these theories may be correct, yet his

Caught Naked.

There is floating bath on the Severn
river at Bridgnorth, England, owned by
the rowing club, the members of which
allowed its use on two days a week to
LADIES. "Wednesday was one of those
days, and some thirty ladies had avaled
themselves of the privilege. There had
been much rain and the river was swol-
len. Soon after the ladies entered the
bath gave a sudden lurch and began to
sink. The ladies were greatly alarmed
and resolved on abandoning their clothes
and making for the other bank of the
river. Their retreat was not performed
a minute too soon for before they haG
well reached the opposite bank the bath
sank. The poor ladies sought refuge in
a cattle shed, and the surround villagers
did their best to supply clothing, some
of which was rather grotesques char
acter, but most of them had to make
their way home under the friendly shell
ter of an old blanket, which they regard
ed as better than going to the bottem of
the river.

About Hair.

The cause of gray hair is the destruc-
ton of the top of the papillG, or life and
color-giving bulbs at the root of the
hair. Not only old age, but nervous de-
bility or exhaustion arising from over
work or dissipation, will cause the color
of the hair to cease, and there are many
instances on record of the hair being
turned suddenly white by great shock
to the nervous system, among the best
known being that of the unfortunate
Queen Marie Antoinette. 1t has also
been stated that hair will sometimes re-
sumo its original color again, rs in the
famous case of Nazarelia. Nazarelia, q
man l05 years old, was, in IVA, at Vien-
ma, presented by nature with new set
of black teeth and a restoration of the
black hair of his youth; also Sir John
Sinclair, Scotchman, diving at 10, re-
ioiced in youthful head of hair during
the latter years OF his life. "Variegated
hair," which is alternately banded black
and white, is noted among the hirsute
curiosities OF nature, and green and blue
hair have been described by some au-
thorlties; but these colors owe their pro.
duction to the influence of surroundings
in which their subjects live, the green
hair belonging TO those who work in
copper mines, and blue to those whose
occupation is cobalt mining. Workers
in indigo also have blue hair. In Tripoli
and Turkey the ladies paint the hair OF
their children vermillion color.

From New York to France.
n Y Sum


A dispatch was published in this city,
announcing the arrival at Granville
France, of the Italian bark Famiglia,
commanded by Capt. Olivari. The
Famiglia left this port on the 4th OF
March last She was loaded with $4,000
bushels of wheat, which was consigned
by Messrs. J. q c. Moore K Co., of 142
Pearl street, of this city, TO a firm in
Granville. Nothing was heard from the
bark, and in due time she was posted bv
the English Lloyds as lost. Her cargo
was insured with the Orient Insurance
Company, in Wall street for S15,0 900,
and this sum was paid over to the
holders of the policy after the loss of
the vessel was posted. The insurance
men, the consignees of the wheat and
the agents of the Famiglia were amazed
accordingly, when the news of the ar
rival of the vessel at the port of her
destination, SIX months after her de-
parture from New York was published
There are two other vessels, the Famiglia
Ferro and the Famiglia s, one of which
may have been mistaken for this bark
in question. This, however, is not prob
able. The Famiglia Ferro sailed from
Baltimore July 81, bound for Dundee,
and the Famiglia $. from Philadelphia
so late as August %. These are the
only vessels registered which bear a
similar name.
