De Lesseps Explaining His Project.
 PARIS, May I'M. De Lesseps is hard at work furthering his Panama canal. At dark seance at the Vaudeville last night he demon strated the wonderful advantages of said inter oceanic canal by the magic lantern. The gas was turned of and the light of the lantern thrown on views of the Isthmus and incidents of the lecturers visit to America. The lecture was very interesting and there was alarge audi ence, yet when the gas was turned up again a great many were still in the dark as to the financial prospects of the enterprise. He an- nounced that he had just signed definite ar rangement with contractors for the works, and concluded by hoping that the audience would subscribe as enthusiastically as they at tended his lectures.

A Break From GrAht-NeW York Dele. gates Declare for Blaine. Maryland Delegates for Grant. FREDERICK, Md, May 7.-The Republican
 convention adjourned at 3:3O this morning. Fourteen of the sixteen delegates elected to represent the party in Chicago are said to be in favor of Grant.
 ALBANY, May 7.-In the Senate this morn ing MT. Jacobs offered the following:
 Whereas The teachings of the fathers ths repub-
 c with their holy fear of monarohs and thrones have given existence to unwritten law which decrees that the person shall not occupy the high office Of President Tps %ore than two , terms. San and .,
 two great parties of the country contempates viola
 Resolved, That it is the sentiment of ths senats of the State of New York that this unwrtten law which and which has been recognized and obeyed by the ilustrious line of Presidents who succeeded them person should considered eligible for tho office of President for a third time.
 MT. Jacobs read from the Albany Journal the letter of Senator Robertson announcing his intention to vote for Blaine and comment ed upon it at length. He was, however, he said, anxious to place Senator Woodin on record. MT. Woodin characterized the sub- ject matter of the resolution as insuffsrable nonsense. In his own time and way and at the proper place he would declare his position upon the matter if there was any doubt upon it. He moved to lay the resolution on the ta- ble, and the motion was carried by vote of IS to T. Mir. Woodin said he would go to Chicago to give voice to constituency as patriotic as any in the commonwealth. The Utica con- vention only ratified his selection to the Chi cago convention. If bound by instructions they must be derived from the constituency he represented. The choice of his district was James G. Blaine. Mir. Halbert asked if MT. Woodin accepted the position of delegate and now proposed to step aside and let anoth- CT man go and vote for J. G. Blaine. Mr. Woodin said he stated at the convention that his choice was not Grant. His alternate should voice the sentiment of his constitusn- cy. Mir. Sessions said the sentiments ex- pressed by Mir. Woodin were his own and the views of his constituency.

A Mothers Training.

There were six children in the house
hold-three sons and three daughters.
The mother was CHEEKY, quiet, religious
woman, thoroughly bound up in her house
hold. The husband was resolute, defiant,
out-spoken unbelever He was a Jour
nalist, and lost no opportunity to have
his fling at Christianity. Unbelievers,
bitter as himself, were frequent guests at
his table, and made themselves merry
with the Bible and religious faith before
the children. The mother seldom bore
any part in the conversation. Not one
of the children entertained the opinions
of the father AS they grew up one after
another came into the church The sons,
especially, were noted for their intelligent
piety. l felt great curiosity to know
how Mrs. Long accomplished her difficult
task-by what means she had neutralized
the influence of her husband, and how she
had led her entire flock into the fold of the
Redeemer. asked Mrs Long to give
me some clue to her method well, =
she said, at is very simple matter. I
never opposed my husband, never argued
with him, nor disputed on the subject of
religion, 1 never belittled him in the
eyes of the children But / never allowed
them to go to bed without reading a few
short verses of something the Saviour had
said. put his words over against the
words of men, If the devil cast in the
tares and went his way, might not the
truth be as potent2 and that's the whole
of 1T. Christian at Work.

may proceed to ordon him to the full

point him to labor in some destitute field

The Presbytery has oversight of all

or unites churches, takes cognizance of
the reciprocal duties of pastors and peo-

they serve. 1t also appoints commits

many as twenty-four ministers, and two
of each if of more than that number and
less than forty-eight. 1t also reports to
the Assembly all hcensures, ordinations,
installations, or other matters of its an
nual history. 1t hears and issues appeals
or complaints from ministers, churches,
or any persons regarding themselves as
aggrieved by decisions of the Session
and considers and decides on the issues
involved in any reference" brought be-
fore it on subjects proper for its action.
