The Senate resumed consideration OF the river
and harbor appropriation bill. The first amend
ment that provoked discussion was that appro-
priating 81, 600, 600 for improving New York har-
Dor so as to secure a thirty-foot channel at the
Sandy Hook entrance of the harbor, upon such
plan as the Secretary of War may approve.
Dir. Beck wanted to know why an item of this
magnitude had been omitted by the House in a
bill appropriating $l5. 500.0 600. He thought it
wonderful that if the plans were matured the
House had not inserted the item while it had
done so for thousands of places of very little Inn
portance. This was one of the things in the bill
that had clearly merit in it. New York was the
harbor, of all others, that ought to be made as
good as possible The amendment was agreed to-
The next amendment on which there was dis;
cussion was ore appropriating $o0O,O QUO for i'm

sum should be expended upon or with reference
to any place in respect of which the title of the

Illustrative of the Turkish Law.

A gentleman, formerly professor in
Roberts college, Constantinople, relates the
following travesty of justice Illustrative of
tho law in Turkey, where an accused man
must prove his innocence, or else he is de
clared guilty: A convert to Christianity
came to DR. Lord, missionary there, and
asked il it was ever right to tell a lie. This
was a staggerer for the doctor, and he said
he would have to know the case before he
could decide, although, on general principles,
he did not think it was. The case is this, !"
replied the seeker after truth: "A Turk, a
stranger to me, living in Rutschuk, accused
me OF buying and receiving from him 1000
sheep knew of no way of proving that |
did not buy and receive these sheep, and the
case must certainly go against me. 1t came
I'D for trial to-day, and after the charge had
been made, admitted that had bought and
received the sheep (Which was a ie,, and had
at the same time paid for them in full He
couldn't prove that had not; 50 the case
was dismissed" The doctor thought that, If
ever a lie was justiiiable, this was certainly
the time.-The Argonaut.

we know not but there may have been tribes or races of human beings which for their monstrous wickedness and beastliness have, by the judgment of God, been condemned to the terrible penalty of dehumanization-de- graded to be brutes, the human heart and character merged and lost in the heart and nature of the beast. And it would not seem strange if there should be some outward and visible signs of the actualities within thus explaining as well as exploding an awful mistake of scien- tifc theory. But what, then, is truth as to man and his earliest history on the eartha We have our Bible history of the origin of man, and also as to the probabili- ties of his future. And very many of us do certainly receive it as the nnest reliable and best verified of anything we have of the early history of man on the earth. So much of this Bible, as we call the Old Testament scriptures, has come down to us through many worldwide changes: and though mixed up in places with much that does not seem So we'll as we could wish, yet we do, never theless, end gladly, recognize vein of truth running through them more precious than of gold and gems. And the Bible history of the creation, it may be said, is as clear and plain as such subject could we'll be made to man, and as plain as need be to such being as man was then, for he probably knew enough to understand that he was a finite being on an infinite field. Does all our sci ence always recognize so much?
 But what we call our New Testament is in many respects much the more lucid in it's teachings. Coming upon the world after the long shadowings of the past that New Testament revelation was 'sas the light of the morning when the sun riseth, a morning without clouds, and of the clear shining af- ter the rain;" gospel of the angel song of joy and good will to earth and of glory to God in the highest, a fitting introduc- tlOn tn world nf him uvbn taught as never man before him did teach. Science may come and it may go. His truth abides forever. And think we have his ample testimony to the credibility of our Old Testament history of the creation that God created the world, and on this our earth, our vegetable world of life, in it's vast and beautiful variety of grasses, herbs and trees. giving to each and every variety it's nature for reproducing itself after it's kind Then the animals on the earth, in the air and in the water, giving also to each its nature that it may reproduce itself after it's kind, and finally man Gin the image of God," and with dominion over all as Gods representative among the animals of the world. Now the law of living crea- lures and of living things was the nature which God had given to them And science has no better right than ignorance has for charging upon man or animals the violation of such law. Moreover it is mora than probable that true science would reject as impossible the fact of any genealogical de- scent with conditions so unnatural.

And stockingsl The Exposition is very museum of that apparel. All shades and styles abound and a close observer will see that it is the mode to harmonze the tint of the hosiery with the complexion of the wear CT. Black and white are not favorites this tall except with parties from the towns up the road, and it is to be noticed that the southern portion of the State runs rather more strongly to the latter than the north ern Delicate shades of browns, blues and reds are the taste of the city maids, with an occasional departure towards a gold. High shoes go with the browns, while slippers are invariably setSsof with one of the lighter hues. Clocking may be said to have disap- peared, but the hot days of last wesk brought out some very pretty specimens of hosiery with open work insteps, and dark shades were always chosen, seemingly for the deli cious contrasts. One demure damsel who sat tapping her dainty slipper in time to the Mexican band wore an astonishing combina- tion of dark, lustrous green and old gold stripes, punches of blossoms embroidered in hossy silk upon the instep, and confded to her neighbor in an audible whisper that the pair were hand worked aud coss double eagle. Perhaps the prettiest stockings ns,o never been observed, because high boots and long skirts have hidden their charms, but enough of dreams in silk and lisle thread hosiery have been seen peeping forth beneath embroidered petticoats to prove that the wo- men of the West have taste in dress and keep some of the best of it for their very own delectation.
