Not Bound to Kiss the Bible.

The court OF chancery in New Jersey has
just rendered An opinion holding that
witness in that state who swears by the
Bible is not bound to kiss the book.
A woman when sworn had laid her hand
on the Bible but refused to kiss it. The only
reason she gave for the refusal was that she
had "never kissed the book" She was
allowed by the master to testify, but a
motion was subsequently made to strike out
her testimony. Here is the law, as laid
down by Vice Chancellor Bird
Almighty God or the Ever Living God, or
the like, is called upon by the witness to
witness that he will speak the truth. The
rest Is form. The solemn invocation, ailir-
nation or declaration Is the substance. All
else IL shadow. The witness in this case WAS
sworn with her hand upon the book. There
can be no doubt but that il she made false
statement wiliully she is liable to an indict-
| ment for perjury.

WASHINGTON, u. c., June lq-lt is now
considered certain by MIR. Manning's most
intimate friends that he will never be able to
resume the active duties OF the secretary ship
of the treasury. His physical atlliction at
his period of life compels cessation from the
exacting labors OF such a position, If he
would not take the risks of renewed attack
aud of fatal results. Under these clrcum-
stances rumor is busy with the names of pos
sible successors, but in well-informed circles
the PEI sons most confidently named in this
connection are Charles s. Fairchild. present
assistant and acting secretary; and William
/. Scott, Democratic congressman from Erie,
Pa.
The above portrait of Mr.. Fairchild. taken
from an old photograph, gives only an i'm
perfect idea OF his personal appearance. He
Is handsomer and more intellectual look

family of lawyers in Central New York. He

lawyer in Albany when he was appointed
deputy attorney general of the state. ue
was elected head of that office, and during
his term pressed all exposed ringsters to
downfall. He was the choice of President
Cleveland and Secretary Manning for his
present position is in sympathy with heir
policy aud the treasury department is tho
roughly organized largely with New York
men, in accordance Herewith, He is a very
clear-headed lawyer aud gives much inteli.

BALLAD OF THE BOATMaN,

Across the riyerf to the pier,
In summer or in snow,
Morning or evening, year by year,
You may see the boatman row.
In many Il slowly changing face,
OF sunny hair grown gray,
The mute memorial he can trace
OF his declining day.
And some to alien harbors sail,
And many come no more
But yet, until his hand shall fail,
he elabors at tho oar.
One day in the fourteen we give,
With altruistic care.
That he the higher life may live
OF worship. praise and prayer.
And for the rest, let Nature steep,
While the slow season run,
In pure sthetic rapture deep,
The spirit OF her son.
Let him adore, with passion high
The river and the spray
Tho solemn glory of the sky,
For eighteen hours day.
Perhaps his life Arcadian
We hardly would embrace,
Who travel In the very van
Of science, Art and Grace
Our spirit seek higher goal,
An income higher far,
wider culture than the soul
OF him, poor Old tar.
The summer sunsets come and 40,
Upon the river blaze
He little cares to heed them, though
They end his weary days.
In the old time. the youth long lost,
He loved the wind ana tide.
The strong breeze blowing from the coast,
The tree, fresh riverside.
But now he feels, with duh pain,
One longing more ana more
Never to see the tide again,
Never TO hear the oar.
There is one tide no turning knows.
nose current cannot rest,
Whose wave forever ebbing goes
Into the oceans breast
Forever ebbing. drawing near.
To It's great merging place
And men who travel from the pier
Shall miss the boatmans face.

Like Senator German, OF Maryland, Scott

years old. In 1916, Gen. Reed, member
from this state, took him home with him to
Erie and made him a shipping clerk. In
1850 he went into business for himself and
has found millions in IL He became a large
operator in mines, railroads and politics. He
got the coal monopoly at Erie, associated
closely with the Vanderbilt powers, and was
a delegate to the Democratic national con-
ventions OF 1876 and 1850. He has always
been close to the Tilden element, but gener-
ally manages to "get in out of the
wet " and supported Hancock most gener-
ously. He opposed Orange Noble for state
treasurer on local and personal grounds,
but aided Clevelaud's election immensely.
He was elected mayor of Erie in 1850 and In
ISL; in 1854 he was chosen to Congress in a
district heavily Republican, carrying it by
storm. In Congress he has taken high
position for new member and POO, 900 copies

out He is a rich, brainy, nervous, restless,
impulsive and generous man-a hard hitter,
a warm friend and positive enemy. This is
a good picture of him.

THIS Is what the latest and best historian
of California, Prof. Josiah Royce, himself a
native of that state says of him: " tie em-
ployed many Indians, raised large crops of
grain, aimed to make his little colony the
producer OF nearly all its own supplies,
showed much hospitality to newcomers,
and, in ISIS, undertook to assist Gov. Michel
torena in the latter's troubles In COnse-
quence of this last blunder he was on poor
terms with the successful revolutionary
authorities during the brief remainder of the
Mexican period. In character Sutter was an
aftab!e and hOspitable visionary, of haZy
ideas, with great liking for popularity, and
with mania tor undertaking too much. An
heroic figure he was not, although his
romantic position As pioneer in the great
valley made him seem so to many travellers
and historians When the goldseekers
later came, the ambitious Sutter utterly lost
his head, and threw away all his truly
wonderful opportunities. lie however also
suffered many things from the injustice Of
the newcomers For instance we learn
that at one time All his American labOrers
left the fort just before the harvest time and
went to work for themselves taking his
cattle 10 pay the amounts due them" This
was going on a strike with vengeance.
Another act of ingratitude, Of which he
bitterly complained to the very last, was
that when i'll 1871 he sent two Indians with
some cattle To the relief of 2 starving party
in Truckee canon, the cattle being lost in a
snow Storm the desperate Americans went
TO work and ate the Indians instead where
by, said the hospitable old general" he
lost not only his beet but his two good
Indians! He never tired of complaining of
merican ingratitude.
