Reunion of the Presbyterian Church,
North and South.

Reunion of the Presbyterian Church,
North and South.
There was a separation of the Presby-
terrain Church North and South before
the war, growing out of the institution
of slavery. Since the war, and the aboli-
ton of slavery, spasmOdic efforts have
been made in both sections to bring
about a reunion, but, there is still "a
niger in the wood-pile." At the meet
ing this week, of the two General As
semblies-the Northern at Philadelphia
and the Southern at Baltimore, the sub
ject was considerably discussed in a
private way among the members Of
both bodies, and a feeling was betrayed
among the majority of the Southern
brethren that indicated a postponement
to a distant period of time the satisfac-
tory settlement of the vexed question.
The great obstacle in the way of reun-
ion is. how shall the colored man be
treated? With the South, this is the
vital question, entering largely into
their social life, and affecting the well
fare their wives and children, while
with the brethren of the North it is
merely a sentiment. If the Northern
members of the Church could be put in
t le place of the Southern for a year or
two, they would be more tolerant. 1t
is a well known fact, that every North
e n Presbyterian who makes his home
IN the South, particularly in localities
thickly settled with negroes, changes
h sentiments upon the question of
race equality. AS soon as this question
ceases To be a theory, and assumes the
phase of a stern, living practical fact,
it will be adjusted in some way-how,
it is an impOssibility to say, as to de-
ode the destiny of the negro race in
This country.

David Webster, a bachelor farmer

He is wealthy and known to have
large sums of money in his possession.

had time TO make any resistance. They
then proceeded to force a confession OF
the place where he had his money con,
cealed. by means of torture. The old
man was choked and beaten Until he
became insensible, but failing
to attain their object the
brutes placed manacles on his wrist
and bound him in such a
manner That his heels were brought
close to his head, and Il rope and gag
placed in his mouth. In this condition
he was carried to his barn some dis

to search the house. They only found

THE HAMMOCk'S MISSION.
How Two Ives Were severed and Two
Hearts Fore yer BLASTED.

1t was but shy, retiring hammock
covered with dust; it had lain for
months in a secluded garnet where the
silence was broken only by the scam
pering OF the mice or the noisy odor Of
the eockroach. Yet this hammock had
a mission in life, and when the hired
man came up and yanked it forth from
its lair of old iaament bottles and
seatless chairs it knew that its time
for action h; d come.
Soon was it oscillating gently be-
meath the shadows of the great oak
trees, awaiting the coming of Algernon

A Walk Over the Ruins of the Ancient Ro
man City.

man City.
We are at the gates OF Pompeii. The
sun is high in the heavens, the atmos-
phere balmy and of an invigorating
quality. And now the much coveted
privilege of walking over the ruins is
before us. 1t is an ancient town of
thirty thousand inhabitants, whose
buildings and streets have been buried
under twenty feet of lava for nearly
seventeen hundred years. The en-
trance is carefully guarded by police
men in uniform, indeed the whole town
seems to be under martial law. TWEEN
tv-scven sentries are on duty in these
sacred precincts. We each pay two
francs to pass in; when we find no out
side guide is admitted we employ one
at the gate at five francs an hour. We
enter through the room where are on
sale lava pins, souvenirs of various de-
signs, and relics that you may take
home from Pompeii.
A number of household utensils and
some jewelry were found in the ruins
the day before we arrived. and we were
permitted to examine them. They had
not been cleaned or FURNISHED, but they
were samples of what is being found
frequently by the present force of work
men
When we entered the first street l
looked to the north and there was
Mount Vesuvius. the old enemy of Pom
peii. about four thousand feet high.
A burning mountain, older than the
New Testament, the smoke ascending
from an unquenchable fire in threat

in majestic silence. while all the exte-

down to the base and reaching far into
the valley below, is rs quiet and serene
