The Market.
MONDAY EVENING. NAV Cd.

MONDAY EVENING, May I'd, 1881.
The weather is variable and showery.
After heavy April showers of yesterday the
weather cleared and remained 50 until this
afternoon when heavy clouds covered the
sky and the day closed dark and gloomy
with prospects of thunder storms during
the night.
We have few if any changes to note in
the market; prices are generally well sus-
tanned and the supply and demand contin-
ues about the same as at the close of last
week.
The river is falling slowly at this point
without having reached point when the
most timid could feel any anxiety on ac-
count of high water.
FLOUR-This staple rules very quiet
and the market drags. The demand is
confined entirely to medium and choice
grades and even in these the movement i S
small.
HAY-Receipts are liberal and the sup
ply ample to meet all demands. Prices are
a shade lower than last weeks.
C0RN-Quotations are nominally I'M
changed but the supply is larger and prices
not so strong.
OATs-Plenty and very quiet.
MEAL-A stronger feeling pervades the
market to-day and prices are locking up a
little in choice city meal.
BRAN-Quiet and unchanged.
BUTTER-Only choice packed is in re-
quest and OF this scarcely enough arrives to
supply the local trade.
EGGS-Receipts are liberal and the
market is easier.
CHICKENS-Th demand and supply
are about equal both firm.
APPLES-Plenty and dull.
POTATOES-Sca and firm.

plored. g.. the increasing neglect of family re-
ligion and the religious training of our children
at home.
Foreign Missions was presented by the Rev.
Mr.. Hall of the Matamoras Mission, who was
heard with. great pleasure particularly as to
the wonderful progress of Christ's kingdom in
Mexico.
Home Missions were also considered, and ac-
ton taken on them by the adoption of certain
resolutions presented in the report of the per-
manent committee
Davidson and Adger Colleges.-Prof. Blake,
professor of the former. and President Riley. of
Adger, presented the interests of their respective
institutions. These brethren were heard with
great pleasure and these institutions commend
ed to the patronage of our people.
Columbia Theological Seminary-The Synod
heard the Rev. DR.. Mack. the financial agent of
Columbia Seminary, in behalf of the interests of
this cherished institution. And the standing
committee on Theological Seminaries brought in
minute similar to that adopted by the Synods
of Alabama and Georgia The report was
adopted. The twelve. directors of the General
Assembly are the directors appointed by the
Synod-2 from Alabama, 4 from Georgia, and
from South Carolina.

constitutional way of forbidding him to do so.
The Synod decided that this latter view was
correct. by vote of 46 to IL. The minority OF
Synod appealed to the Assembly and the Rev.
j. N. Craig and the Rev. James Graham were
appointed to defend the action of the Synod
before the Assembly. The colored man did not
take any part in this controversy concerning
his position, but it was understood that his peo-
pie thought that the Presbytery had repudiated
him, and they were all inclined to leave our
denomination and go to another one. If the
view of the Synod be sustained by the Assem-
bly,, our plan will have to be changed, and our
Presbyteries will ordain colored men only
when they have enough of them to constitute a
quorum for business in a Presbytery of their
own. Two ministers and one elder or even one
minister and two elders might make quorum
in such Presbytery, if they choose so to frame
their constitution.

Met in the church at Colun bia, of which Rev.

November I'd, at u P. NJ, with sermon by
the Moderator, Rev. ]. l.. Martin. of Abbeville.
The meeting was full one, there being present
from first to last about 140 members. The Rev.
William Jacobs, Of Clinton, was chosen Modera-
tor, and Rev. Mr.. Morrison, clerk.
The meeting Of the alumni drew large num-

The practice of head hnntir

The practice of head hunting still
exists in Borneo, though it is evidently dying
out In the regions over which the Dutch have
any control. 1t is a curious custom. No youth
is allowed to don the tokens of manhood or pay
his addresses to any Malay maid till he has
been able to bring in two or three of his enc
mics heads. Births, marriages, and deaths and
many other events in the lives of these half
without the presence Of few fresh heads and
IN almost every house one or more Of these
trophies are slowed away wrapped up in banana
leaves. 1t appears likely that the custom is
simply a survival from cannibalism. Indeed,
among the few remaining cannibal Dyaks in
koetei it is still the custom to reserve the head
for the chief, the remainder Of the victims body
being divided among the common people.

The evidence in the Christiancy di-
vorce case on Thursday is bitter com
mentary upon the swimming ease with
which characterless Adventures get on
in what is presumably the highest society
in America. Edilberto Giro, of poetic
name, who seems to have been admitted
freely to the society of ex-senator CHRIS
tiancy's family, was shown to be scamp
in nearly every relation of life. He had
long been a smuggler; had burned down
his photograph gallery in South America
to get the insurance, had forged series
of letters purporting to be from Mrs.
ChristiancY to himself in which she ad-
dressed him in the most ex;F,vagant
terms of endearment, and finally had de-
clared that he would "get even with her
because she refused his addresses.

Great Pension Frauds.

The pensions paid by the government
now amount to about as much as the in
terest on the national debit 1t has been
officially reported that on certain classes
of the pensions the frauds upon the gov
eminent amount to 20 per cent; and it
now transpires that rings have been
formed in the Treasury and War Depart
ments and pension office, among certain
of the employees, who forward the frauds
and participate in the plumber. With
out collision in these departments the
frauds could not be so successfully prac-
ticed. The claims of many deserving
pensioners, who were wounded in the
war, and who are now unable with their
mutilated limbs to gain comfortable
subsistence, are kept back, year after
year, while the frauds are put forward
and acted upon. Millions are drawn from
the Treasury in this way by persons who
never entered into a battle, and
never appeared in the army except as
plunderers. The efforts of the dema-
gogues in Congress to get the support of
soldiers and sailors at the polls have been
disgraceful They have imposed bur
dens upon the country such as 10 other
country in the world ever tolerated; and
this abuse has been intensified by the
combinations in the executive depart
ments, to aid in the vast frauds which
are practiced under the sweeping laws
of Congress. The new pension commits
sion has brought to light case which
exposes the corruption of the employees,
and promises are made that the abuses
shall be stopped. But the frauds have
existed for years, and they have been ex-
posed repeatedly, but no efficient steps
have been taken to put an end to them.
If better work is to be done in the fu-
ture, the people will have occasion to be
thankful

The statement is boldly made that
among the mummies recently discovered
at Thebes is that Of the identical
"Pharaoh's Daughter" who rescued the
infant Moses from his dangerous hiding
place in the cradle among the bulrushes.
The body is that of lady Of rare beau
ty, and is so perfectly preserved by the
embalmer's art that it appears as if only
recently laid away. The coffin is deco
rated with mosaic work of costly stones,
some of which have been Clipped off by
curiosity seekers. Rameses the Second,
the father of this lady, is said to have
had many wives, and to have been the
father of more than one hundred and
fifty children. 1t is supposed that many
of his other sons and daughters are SINH
larly embalmed, and that their mummi-
fed bodies will be found among the
treasures of this description which are
now being brought to light.

Nothing now in London escapes from
the march of improvement, and even
Newgate is in a fair way to fall. The
Commissioners have reported against its
retention, and it only remains for the
British Home Secretary to approve that
decision. As a site for a prison, New
gate, the place, is much older than the
present edifice, for it goes back at least
as far as the reign Of John, and the edi-
fee was erected as early as 1882, the year
of its completion, though its corner
stone was laid ten years earlier. Before
it had been finished, in 1880, it was at
tackled by the Lord George Gordon riot
ers, who liberated three hundred prison
ers and set fire to the building-an event
lastingly familiar to every reader Of
Dickens "Barnaby Rudge."
