NEWS FROM THE CHURCHES
Southern PRESBYTERIAN.

Ordination.-At the First Presbyterian
church Richmond, Va, Sunday the 10th inst,
the pastor, Rev. T. L. Preston. D. D., preached
practical and impressive sermon from 2
Timothy, iv 8, Make full proof of thy min
lstry." AT the close of the sermon an interest
ing and novel scene to many in the audience
was the ordination of the recently elected dea-
cons. Messrs. W. G. Clemons, j. F. Culling
worth, James Lyons, Jr. and George Randolph
Cannon. This solemn service was one of the
the first of its kind in the Southern Presbyte
ran Church under the new Book of Church
Order.
The ruling elders and the deacons of the
church were grouped around the pulpit, and the
newly elected officers took their places directly
before the pastor, who proposed the usual ques
tions, made brief address regarding the So
lemnity of this act, and the entire congregation
then ratified its action in the election of these
brethren to the Office of deacon.
Then followed the ordination prayer and the
laying on of hands" by the pastor and the
elders, the congregation standing, and the candi-
dates kneeling before the pastor. AT the con
clusion of this prayer the elders and deacons all
gave the right-hand of fellowship to the new Of
hcials, with the words We welcome you tc
take part with us in this ministry"

Mr.. Gladstone is a man of consider
able wealth. He owns more than
5000 acres, from which his rental is
$4,000. Indeed, 1t is curious to note
that under LIBERAL as under a Con-
servative Government, England is
ruled by rich men. The Duke of Ar
gyle owns 175, LA acres, with a rent
al of ESQ, ,S42, and be is considered

derives rental of 9lSO,999 from
l98,665 acres of land. The united in
come of the Liberal Cabinet is official
ly $4,000, but this is a mere trihe.
In land, Mr.. Gladstone's own between
2S0,000 and 100000 acres among
them. The late Cabinet owned $780,
600 acres. Lord Sandon was, more
over, heir to 10000 and Lord John
Manners to 10000. There were thus
upward of 100000 acres divided "a
among l3 gentlemen at the head of the
administration, giving them round
g46,0OO each. An equal distribution
would have given each of them 235-
600 year (nearly g100 day. leav-

MINING ATTITUDES.


A gonds deal oi nonsense is being
indulged IN by contemporaries about
tile altitudes at which mines, and es-
pecially silver mines, are found; and
one paragraph, evidently started by
n,an from '.the Louisiana lpwlands,n
says that scientific men have proven
by actual measurements that most OF
the great silver mines lie 10000 feet
above the present sea 'eveiy and among
the richest are some loco feet higher
still. Job, Of the land Of q. who
was doubtless better versed in geolo-
gy, minetology, nletallurgy and prac-
tical mining than many Of the SCISSOR
editor who keep the above q,ndation
afoat, said: Surely there is vein
for the silver, and place for gold
where they fine (refine Or purif, J it."
R,ch silver mines have been found as
high as 10000 feet, and many of them
as much as 10000 feet above the level
of the sea, but it does not follow that
silver mines are found only at such
attitudes. The highest croppngs of
the famous Comstock are considerably
less than 5000 and the Eberhardt Of
" hite Pine-the richest silver mine
in the known worlds barely 5000
feet above the sea level. The CarlAa-
ginian mines of antiquity, Which at
one time employed 10000 operatives,
were scarcely 5000 feet nigh, and the
rich mines Of Tombstone in Arizona
do not even attain so great an altitude.
In all the broad mineral region of
Nevada no paying vein of silver ore
has ever been found at an altitude of
10000 feer. 1t does not follow even
that because veins of silver are usual
ly found in the older rocks of lofty
mountain ranges, they may not also
be found In the sandstones and other
sedimentary rocks of the valleys, as in
the case of Silver Reef Utah. The
speculation as to the latitude of
mines' is all nonsense, for surely
there is a vein for the silyer,' and
that vein is as likely to be found, all
other conditions being favorable, at an
altitude Of 1000 as at one of 10000
feet.
