AN INTER EsTING DECISION.

By the constitution of the United States
members of Congress are exempted from ar
rest during the session a,d while going to
and from Washington. The United States
Circuit court in Wisconsin has been called
upon to tell what this provision means, and
its explanation is interesting.
A summons in civil suit against Repre-
sentative Markham was served on him in
Milwaukee. He declared that the officer had
no business with him, because he was a
member of Congress on his way from Cali
fornia to Washington; that it was necessary
for him to be there some time before the
opening of the session in order s'to secure
suitable place of residence and to arrange
for and settle his family and household af-
fairs;'' that he had stopped in Milwaukee
and was detained there in consequence of the
illness of his children, whom he was taking
with him to Washington.
It was claimed that the exemption provid-
ed for by the constitution did not extend to
service of civil process, and that Representa-
tive Markham was not on the direct road to
Washington, but both these claims were set
aside by the court. Judge Dyer said To
entitle the defendant to the privilege here
invoked he must have been in good faith on
his way to the seat of government to enter
upon the discharge of his public duties; that
must have been the primary object of his
journey. He had right, without forfeiture
of his privilege, to set out from his resi-
denoe at such time before the session should
open as would enable him conveniently to
establish his quarters and settle his family
and household affairs at the capital and
also, think, to enable him to inform him
self as a new member regarding pending leg
1slation, SO that he might enter advisedly up
on his duties. A slight deviation from the
usual route for rest, convenience or because
of family sickness ought not to cause loss
of his privilege, if such deviation was but an
incident to the principal journey. At the
same time his privilege could not and ought
not to avail him if the deviation was equiva-
lent to an abandonment of the original jour
ney for purposes of pleasure or family
visiting.

The question of a future probation and
what federation or encouragement shall be
given it, especially in mission fields, is one
that needs to be met by our churches with
great wisdom and the spirit of Christ. Those
who have adopted it demand perfect liberty
to hold it and to teach it everywhere as may
seem to them best, and that such views shall
be no bar to their being employed teach
ers or preachers in any position within the
gift of our churches. Many conservative
Christians on the other hand regard it as q
grave error, strongly tending, if not inevita-
bly, leading, to practical Universalism and
fraught with peril to souls. Therefore they
are unwilling to have it taught from their
pulpits or to become in any way personally
responsible for its dissemination. Truth in
the matter will not be reached by personal
tiles nor by assailing or defending particular
individuals, but only by careful study of
the dogma in all its bearings, of the theory
Of which it is part and of tho Bible as our
only safe guide in regard to all questions
which can be known by only God has
given us light upon them. In deciding in
regard to what is to be done in the practical
matter pressing upon the American board
now of accepting without question as mis-
sionaries the Jealous advocates of this theo-
ry, there are some things that should be care
fully considered. On question of this kind
deliberation and clear conviction are better
than haste.
First-It should be borne in mind that
this dogma is new to our churches. Not till
within few years has any voice been raised
in them to avow or defend it. 1t is new to
their thought. 1t has never had a place in
their creeds. They have not learned it from
any catechism or in the Sunday schools.
They have not heard it preached from the
pulpit or read it in their religious journals.
Nor has the sound of it reached them fron
any of the sister denominations that we call
evangelical and with whom we are on terms
of fellowship. 1t has lately come among us
as stranger from foreign land.
Sscond-It is contrary to what has been
universally received the teaching of the
Bible. The uniform, Interpretation of scrip
ture by theologians and commentators, and
as taught in our theological seminaries and
from our pulpits, has been among all evan
gelical denominations till q very late date at
least that human probation ended with the
present life-that the offers of mercy, the
syst m of grace and motive revealed in the
gospel, were limited in their application to
| the period anteeedent to death They have
found in the Bible promises Or hope of
salvation to the finally impenitent after they

they may have tremblsd and stood in awe of
the righteous judgment of God on. the i'm

DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS.

The Democratic senatorial and representa-
tive conventions held last evening were in
teresting affairs. Mr.. E. G.. Stoddard having
so much business to attend to that he could
not take the nomination for senator, the
honor was bestowed upon the Hon. James
Gallagher, who is a true ''friend of labor"
and who will labor hard for the
Democratic party and his own
election during the next few
weeks. The representative convention did
just what it was expected to do. Messrs.
HUME and Connors will not shed much glory
upon New Haven if they are elected to
represent" the city. HUME has been one of
the most active and injudicious of the mis-
leading labor agitators who infest this region
He has taken prominent part in boyeotting
schemes, and in other ways has shown that
he is not fit man to represent the intslli
genee and the good citizenship of New Ha-
ven.
The Republicans have an opportunity
which they will probably not neglect to i'm
prove. If they make good nominations New
Haven may not be so grossly misrepresented

5HIs First ssSparkfng.S


In early times there lived in Indiana a
man by the name of George Boone, de-
scendant of the celebrated Daniel Boone
He would have stood well in those days
when there were giants in the land, if there
ever were such. He was near seven feet
high, with large bones and muscles; his
hands were large and his feet were of ex-
treme size in length, breadth and depth.
The following anecdote was one Boone us
ed to relate himself, with evident rel
ish, after he became one of the State sena-
tors.
I was about IS years of age, when, for the
first time, [ took it into my head to go a
sparkling. One of my neighbors, few miles
eff, had pretty daughter, that I thought
would just suit me.
It was late in the fall and the weather
pretty cold; still it was too early to put on
shoes for these primitive times. When
Sunday afternoon came 1 dressed in my best
butternut-colored suit, made some six months
before, bat soon found that the pantaloons
reached only just below my knees, and my
coat stretched over me as tight as an eel skin
dried on hop pole.
l started barefoot, wading the creeks and
muddy bottoms till I reached the house.
The family were about sitting down to sup
per, and invited me to eat Sally sat by my
side. They had mush and milk, and plenty
OF 1t. Ih6 old lady, who was d1Shlng out
the pudding, told me to pass my bowl. I
reached out my hand with the bowl; but l
had made no calculation of the size of the
table, thespace between the big milk
pitcher and the bowl, nor the width of my
hand. With all my embarrassment, struck
the milk pitcher in some way and upset it,
and out went the milk over the table, Sally
and myself. She jumped up and went,
shaking with laughter, into the other room.
I saw that all was lost. saw nothing more
of her.
When the clock struck 10 the old lady
said:
t'Mr. Boone, won't you wash your feet and
go to bed9'
'Yes, ma'am," said I.
'Here is an old iron pot-all I've got that's
ft,'' said the old lady.
I took the pot and found it small that
I could only get my feet into it by sliding
them in sideways. But got them in. The
water was hot and soon found them swell
ing tighter and tighter. l couldn't get them
out.
I said nothing, though the pain and anxiety
was so great that the sweet rolled down my
face.
The clock struck II.
tMr. Boone, are you done washing your feetf"
sleepily inquired the old lady.
s'What did this pot cost? I've got to break
it," Igroaned.
ga dollar"
s'Bring me the AK"
She brought it. I took the Ak, broke the
pot in pieces, handed the old lady 81, opened
the door and started for home.
I never went there again.

colonel Greeme's Anxiety Relieved.
[From thu Boston Post

Colonel Greene (the veteran journalist)
suave in manner, was very forcible in action
when the occasion seemed to require the
exercise of force. One morning after the
Colonel arrived at his office, the man who
always wants to know ''Who wrote that
article, sira" put in an appearance, and
was very demonstrative. He slashed around
the editorial Office for awhile, and, mot having
succeeded in obtaining from the Colonel the
information he had come to seek, he made a
show of wanting to fight.
Thereupon the robust Colonel took his
bumptious visitor by the nape of the neck,
and showing him the way to the head of
the stairs, he applied his sqsare-toed boot
to the rear of the bellicose visitor and land-
ed him at the foot of the long flight of stairs
"Youll hear from me again, sir" roared
the victim, he gathered himself togeth,
er.
"Well, I'm glad to hear you say So" was
the Colonel's CHEEKY response; 81 was JUS
teginning to think I shouldn't"

John L. Hill of Philadelphia has returned
from Europe, where he combined business
with pleasure by examining all the big clocks
of Europe, with view to acquiring knowl-
edge which may be useful in view of the fact
that Philadelphia intends to have the largest
clock in the world in the tower of her new
City Hall. The dial will be thirty y-six feet in
diameter. Great Ben, the clock in the
tower of the House of Parliament at London
is named, has dial of twenty-five feet ten
inches diameter. The works weigh IA, 600
pounds and it is guarded carefully as if it
were gold mine. A record is kept of its
workings, and it has varied but one-tenth of
second in the last two or three years. A
person has to climb 400 steps to reach the
clock. It takes two men four and a half
hours each day to wind it up, and every
morning it's record is taken and transmitted
to Mr.. Dent, the maker. The lighting in the
tower is done by hand. 1t could all be done
by machinery, but the object of doing it by
hand is to give employment.
The tobacco business is fourishing tre-
mendously in the Virginia cities Danville
and Lynchburg. The returns for the year
ending September 30 show an enormous trade
in the weed. In Danville the sales of leaf
tobacco in the eleven public wareh euses ag-
gregated over 40, 200, 900 pounds, at an
average of $9.41 per one hundred pounds.
In addition, more than 5000, 900 pounds
changed hands outside of the warehouses,
that at least $4,000, 600 was paid out for the
leaf in Danville during the year. In Lynch
burg the sales aggregated nearly 5O,o0O,000
pounds, with perhaps slightly lower aver
age It will thus be seen that in the two
cities at least $S,O0O,000 was paid for the
leaf during the year. The great bulk of this
was raised in the twenty or twenty-five
counties tributary to those cities. The fig
show large increase oyer all previous
years. In both cities additional ware
house room is being provided, while the
facilities for an increased manufacture of
tobacco are also being provided.

The meager returns received from
several sections of the state show that
there was an unexpected gain in the re-
publican vote. The state ticket will
not receive nearly so large majority as
In 1884. Not congressman outside Of
this district will receive the majority of
two years ago, and in the local offices
the democratic majorities will range all
the way from last elections figures
to zero. This much seems certain the
high water mark Of democratic MAORI
ties in Texas has been reached and the
ebb has already set in; the majorities
will grow less and less and beautifully
less, with rapidity proportioned to re
publican wisdom and political integrity,
until the state will be classed among the
doubtful ones and 1t will be necessary
to nominate the best men in order to Sc
cure an election. When that time comes
Texas will be better governed than
now.
