A POINT FOR THE PRosECuIION.


POINT FOR THE PROSECUTION.
WASHINGTON, July 2l.-Judge Wylie this
morning delivered his decision upon the ad-
instability of the evidence of Walsh in the star
route trial. The decision was favorable to its
admission. The defense Immediately noted en-
exception to this decision.
WALSH.
The prosecution then with an air of satisfac-
ton called John a. Walsh to the stand, and
Bliss proceeded with his examination. The
witness testified that he had an interview with
Brady In December, 1880, for the purpose of
having settlement with Brady of certain
financial matters. The reply was immediately
ruled out. He said that he told Brady his
financial affairs were not in a satisfactory con.
dition; that he had lost good deal of money
and would like settlement of his account
BRADY heard his statement aud replied that
he had greatly benefited the witness and did
not think he owed him anything. He stated
the facts OF the expedition Of his routes and
he had supposed the expedition had been based
upon the petitions filed. Brady replied that
there was no use OF arguing the matter or
feigniDg Ignorance and told him it was his
custom to receive 90 per cent OF the increase
lie ordered upon routes.
Ae the ConVerSatlOn proceeded Brady had
taken up the notes and put them in his pocket
Witness asked Brady what he meant by that,
and Brady said he meant to settle the matter
Witness then told Brady he would be com
PEELED to have recourse TO the courts; that
aside from the morality of the matter it was
wrong; it was an outrage because the con-
tract would not pay under such assessments
Brady in reply said he did not understand his
business.
Bliss asked if Brady had said anything
about his relations with other contracts.
Witness answered that Brady had dwelt at
length upon that and told him that if he had
used his eyes and observed anything he might
have seen that other contractors did the sam
thing. When he spoke OF petitions Brady
said he might judge of their efficiency by
looking at his own route. The petitions had
not succeeded in having it restored. The pc.
titions, said Brady, were intended to enable
BIN to act under the law.
CROSS EXAMINED.
Witness was then turned over to the defense
and Wilson proceeded to cross examine him.
Wilson was about to go into the interview,
When the court adjourned till Monday.
AS the examination of Walsh progressed the
cou room gradually filed until the close,
when perhaps the largest audience of the trial
had collected.

THE NeaO York Herald saws

THE NeaO York Herald says that Con-
gresham Sun Set Coxs fun has done more
to obscure his real valuable, practical
work than any other agency. The same
criticism would be more applicable to
some ministers than to this congressman.
A minister cannot be too bright or too
genial. He should be neither sombre
nor jocose.
The Rev. DR.. Lees, CT st. Giless, Ed
inburgh, has been lecturing on Clerical
Humorists. The Belfast Witness says
"He was rather severe on those who
were more famous for their smart sayings
than their sound sermons He specially com
mended the wit and sarcasm of John Knox and
Latimer, of Reformation times, and spoke ap-
provIngly of the rich vein of sunny humor
which characterised Dr. Guthrie, Norman Mac
Leod, and Bishop Wilberforce. He regretted
that there was not more of cheerfulness mingled
with modern religious life. There is a time for
everything, and religion is not to be nourished
by bitter aloes."

HOW MUCH SHALL I GIVEs

Every one SnOulQ seek Tor himself an
intelligent view of what amount it is his
duty to give for the support of religious
ordinances. Some will say without hest
tation that the tithe-law gives the rule,
whilst others will assert that this was
not continued in force under the new dis
pensation. This point we do not propose
to discuss. But may not all meet on COM
mon ground as regards the practical duty,
without coinciding in their theoretical
views? 1t will be admitted that under
the Levitical dispensation, at least one
tenth of every mans income was required
for the service of the Lord. 1t will hard
ly be disputed that the temporal pros
perity of the people of our land fully
equals that of the ancient Israehtish ma
ton. Why then should we give a less
portion of our substance to the cause Of
Christ than was required in that age {?
If we have more liberty are we to exhibit
less hberality? If the law be not so
binding now as to the specific proportion
to be given, and we are left freer to de-
termine this for ourselves in the light of
scripture and providence, can any sound
reasoning justify less average amount
OF contributions to religion now than of
old? Durability is surely as great as
when the law was enforced and the de.
mands for means to extend TIE gospel
were never so urgent as at this day. Not
only is religion to be supported at home,
as with the Jews, but the whole world is
open to the gospel, and perishing millions
appeal to the sympathy and liberality of
the Christian Church If we fall below
the measure of the 1.-THE, it must be sim
ply because the grace of liberality is
dwarfed in the Christian Church. Meth
er the word of God, nor the calls of his
providence, give any countenance to a
lower standard of giving.
If it be contended that even the sug-
gestion OF definite portion, one-tenth or
some other part, as a voluntary rule to
guide in this matter, is adverse to the
scripture doctrine that all is consecrated
to God it may be answered that the ar
gument does not hold as to our time,
which presents parallel case. God spe-
officially claims one-seventh of this for
his worship, whilst all is to be regarded
as his, and in some way spent in his SER
vice. The exclusive appropriation of the
one-seventh helps rather than hinders
the conservation of the other six-sevenths
of our time to the Lord. 1t need not
therefore be feared that voluntary res
olution of any one, to give at least one
tenth of his income to religious and be-
new lent objects, will lessen that spirit of
conservation, which should lead every
Christian to regard and to use all he has,
not as his own, but as the Lords.

A Visit to the British Museum

A correspondent of the Presbyterian Journal
writes an interesting account of a visit to the
British Museum from which we take the follow
ing extracts:
The Assyrian Galleries have been largely
added to- There are now no less than six large
rooms occupied with Assyrian ANTIQUITIES In
the centre OF some OF the rooms are cases stuffed
with articles of adornment and dress, and the
cylinders. all covered over with the cuneiform
characters from which the great scholars of our
time have made such wonderful discoveries.
From the smallness of the character on some of
them, 1t was plain that small type is not peculiar
to printing since the days of Gutenberg and Fust
In the fifteenth century.
The collection of block-books and of early
printed books Is one of great interest. There
are two cases of block books; L. e., books printed
from carved blocks of wood on one side of the
leaf only. There are several copies OF the BibIa
Pauperun; T. e., Bible of the Poor" at one
time popular manual of devotion, The cuts
are colored by the hand One of the Biblia has
the date, 1875 Seven cases are occupied with
the earliest productions of the printing press
There is the Mazarin Bible the earliest com
plete printed book known 1t IS supposed to
have come from the press of Gutenberg & Fust.
at Mentz, about 1455. 1t is a fine folio and
beautifully printed on the best of paper, making
plain that printing started into being in full
perfection, for certainly few printed books have
the beauty of this earliest production Of the
press.
In the Kings Library there is another col
lection Of the handwriting of the Reformers

Library, there is letter of Luther to Spalatin

ALL THE LEADERS of the Free Church
of Scotland are not in sympathy with
DR.. Blake, in advocating disestablish-
ment in Scotland DR.. Kennedy, of
Dingwall, who has perhaps more inAu-
ence in the Highlands than any other min
lister Of the Free Church, opposes the move
ment for disestablishment. He thinks,
however, that the Free Church, which is
in reality the Church Of the great body
Of the people in the Highlands, should
have share Of the revenues Of the es-
Enlistment. Rev. Donald Fraser, Pres
byterian minister London, also has given
a decided opinion against the effort to
separate the Church in Scotland from the
State support. Lord Campbell, one Of
the sons Of the Duke of Argyll, has sig
nifed in the House Of Commons that he
is ready to lead in defence Of the estab-
lished Church.

SABBATH CoNFERENcE.-Ac conference
IN regard to the right observance of the
Sabbath will be held at Pittsburg, Pa,
commencing Tuesday, March 18th. The
conference will represent the United
States and Canada, the object being to
quicken the interest and unite the efforts
in defence Of the Christian Sabbath. We
observe that the Rev. James Stacy, D. D.,
of Newman, Ga, who is the author of an
excellent little book on the observance of
the Sabbath, has been appointed to read
a paper in answer to the question, What
means should be employed to secure pro-
per action by the Municipal, State, and
National Governments, regarding the
right observance of the Sabbath?

CANDIDA TIES FOR THE MIN
TSTR Y

We have but little Information as to
the extent to which our people observed
the concert of prayer, on the last Thurs
day of February, for the youth in our in
stitutions of learning. This observance
has always had special, though not ex-
elusive, reference to an increase of can
didates for the ministry. This subject
should not pass from the attention of
the people of God because the day of
special prayer has passed; nor should an
increase Of candidates cease to be topic
of prayer till the pressing demand is sup
piled. Our Lord, in view of such
want, said, 1.-THE harvest truly is plen-
teous, but the laborers are few; pray We
therefore the Lord of the harvest, that
he will send forth laborers into his har-
vest.
Prayer for this much needed result
should be accompanied by iudicious eff
forts to secure desirable acquisitions to
the ministry. Not every pious educated
young man is suited for this Office; but
without doubt there are many not look
ing forward to the ministry as their vo-
cation, who have the requisite mental
endowments, and educational opportuni-
ties. Of these, some are probably de-
TERED from choosing this profession.
through the modest belief that they can
never meet its high requirements. Ju-
dicious counsel from pastors, or other
pious intelligent advisers, might in such
cases lead young men into work in
which they would be eminently useful.
More, however, of those having the en-
dowments mentioned, do not choose this
office, because they do not desire to do
its work. Now, although these may
possess high intellectual qualifications
for the ministry, and although there be
no good ground to doubt that they are
truly regenerated, yet, if the heart cannot
be enlisted for this special form of Chris
tan service, it would be a deplorable
result, should they enter this Office
through the persuasion of friends Their
yielding outward assent to the advice of
parents, pastors or others, and choosing
the ministry from conscientious sense
OF duty, is not enough, if their grade of
piety be so low, II at the heart revolts
from the self-denial of the office, and
the spirituality of its word. In the case
of this class of young men, numerous at
time when worldliness so infects tie
church, effort should be directed first
and chiefly to awakening in them a de-
sire to preach the GOSPEL. Let all proper
influences be brought to bear, to en-
tighten their consciences, to increase
their conservation to the Saviour, and to
deepen their spirituality.
We by no means ignore the call of
God to the work of the ministry, but in
this matter, as in the extension of the
kingdom of grace in the world, he is
pleased to act to some extent at least
through human agencies.

-HAYDN's MoDEsTY.-There was a
great charm about Haydn's character; he was

as an old man Of 76, he heard the production Of
his Creation" when that wondrous burst of
harmony rang through the house, c. Let there be
light, and light was r. and it awoke applause,
he put out his trembling hands, brushing away
the clamor Of the people, murmuring, IT is not
no empty phrase, but the expression Of real
conviction. He relates that ne never was so
devout as whilst composing the Creation" and
that daily at that time fell on my knees and
prayed God to give me power to accomplish the
work"

THE ATTEMPT ON THE QUEENS LIFE.
There is no better sovereign among the
monarchs of the world than Queen Vic
toria, and the affairs of the great empire
over which she reigns are wisely and lib
orally administered But this does not
protect her from the dastardly attempts
of assassins. Since she was crowned,
about forty-four years ago, not less than
a half dozen attempts have been made
upon her life. The spirit of rigicide is
abroad in the world, even where there is
no provocation from tyranny or misgov-
eminent Such attempts signify nothing
as to the instability Of any form Of gov
eminent. They have occurred under the
most despotic and also the freest govern
ments. The patriot and the good citizen
can never have any sympathy with such
folly and wickedness.
