The mayor Of the city Of Moscow, in Russia,
made some remarks the other day, which were
distasteful to the car, who, II seems carries
his head pretty high since he had a crown
placed upon it, and the latter banished him
forthwith. Probably if the Moscow mayor
was having as much trouble with the saloons Of
his town as some Of the mayors OF this country
have, he will think the Punishment came in
right handy to help him out of his middle.

A juryman in a Nebraska town was fined
the other day for simply drawing q little
whisky through a rubber tube, from q flask in
his pocket. The juryman was hot about it
and 1t seems he had a right to be hot. There
he had sat upon the jury for nine days with
out a drink, and still he was expected to keep
his nerves quiet enough So that at the end of
the lawyers harrangue he could go quietly
away with the rest of the jury and acquit the
man who had killed another while on q Trunk.
A man in such q trying position as that should
be allowed to take something to quiet his
nerves, without the court dropping onto him
with bothfeet for contempt. "-Peck's Sun.

Do the Meek Inherit the Earth?

The eagle plucks the raven,
And the raven plucks the jay,
To whose voracious craving
The cricket falls a prey.
The big fish dimes at leisure
Upon the smaller fry,
And the minnqw eats with pleasure
The poor unconscious fly.
The miser skins his neighbor,
The neighbor skins the poor,
And the poor man doomed to labor
Spurns the beggar from his door.
And thus the world is preying,
The strong upon the weak,
Despite the precious saying:
THE earth il for the meek"

A story is told about the ordination of O
young English clergyman, whose name was
Salter. Nature had gifted him with hair
which was the reddest of the red. Feeling
that in the solemn ceremonies of his ordination
this red hair might be the cause of irreverent
mirth, especially as the ritual prescribes that
the bishop should touch it, he determined to
dye it black for the occasion, which he did,
The bishop afterward expostulated with the
hapless Salter, and alleged against him the
authority of the runric in the prayer book,
which says: ''The Psalter must be read in the
churches"

George H. Parker, Herman Keifer, and a

Federal building in that city have written
a letter to Secretary Folger, complaining of
the manner in which Supervising Architect
Hill discharged his duty as head of the
commission to which the selection of the
site was entrusted. The specific charges
made in the letter are as follows: "We ac.
cuse Architect Hill, first, of coming to de-
termine question so momentous to
this large-growing city without
adequate notice. second, of utter
want Of business method in the inaugura.
tion and conduct Of the whole proceeding;
third, Of undue scandalous haste in the dis.
position of matter involving the expendi-
ture OF several hundred thousand dollars
and the honor of the United States Govern
ment for fair, square dealing with its own
citizens, who were not given fair oppor-
tunity to be heard; fourth, of violating the
pledge to visit and personally examine and
inspect the different localities; and fifth, of
prejudgment, whether corrupt or not,
amounting to foregone conclusion, and
making the proceedings of the commission

In the Presbyterian General Assembly at
Saratoga yesterday, resolutions of respect
to the memory of the late Judge Sharswood
were adopted. The Temperance Com
mittee made its report. There was short
debate, and after amendments offered by
Rev. DR.. Herrick Johnson had been carried
declaring against prohibition as distinct
i've measure, but hailing with joy and
Thanksgiving the efforts to check insemper-
ance and the sale of intoxicating beverages
by the power of the Christian conscience, of
public opinion and the strong arm of the
law, and asserting that it is inexpedient to
employ secretary for the Temperance
Committee, nor to add the matter of Sab
bath observance to the work of that COM
mittee, the report was adopted, the vote of
two-thirds of the assembly being favorable
to DIR. Johnson's amendments.
Rev. DIR. Ganse, from the Committee on
Concert of Prayer, recommended, and it
was adopted, that concerted prayer by all
churches for the conversion of the world be
made on January @, and for colleges aud
students on the last Thursday of the same
month. The amended Book of Discipline
was adopted as a whole and sent down to
the presbyteries.
Rev. DIR. Herrick johnson moved the ap-
poiftment of a committee Of three to select
place of permanent meeting and to secure
the assembly hall, to report to the next
assembly. Adopted.
resolution of DIR. Herricl Johnson's
was adopted that tho General Assembly
shall unite with the Episcopal General
Convention and the Methodist General
Conference in asking the United States
Government to preserve faith with the Iu-
dians; to grant them lands in severalty; to
prevent intrusions in the Indian Territory
and reservations and that tho matter be
presented to President Arthur and the Sec
retary of the Interior by the special COM
mittee on a civil government for Alaska.
DR.. Howard Crosby said that he had pre-.
sented similar petition in q former COM
mittee, and had been snubbed twice by the
officials, and he had no desire to again pre-
sent it. He moved that he be excused from
serving on the committee, and that DR..
johnson be appointed He was accordingly
excused and DR.. johnson named in his
place.
The Committee on Narrative" submitted
q report showing the church to be in good
financial condition. The aggregate value
of the real-estate held by the thirteen semi.
naries is $1,6S1 1893, and the endowments
