ASTRONOMICAL TiDBiTS.

The vegetarians are losing ground in Ion
don, and some of their restaurants have been
closed.
Fresh salmon tickleth the palate Of the
epicure now, but it is beyond the reach of the
impecunious.
Frog legs will soon be kicking themselves
into gastronomic notice again, prejudice to
contrary notwithstanding.
Australian preserves have found market
in London, and it is said of the raspberries
that they are especially nice.
An English authority says that fish sauce
should always be thick enough to adhere to
the fish. 1t is better to be too thick than too
thin
They have way in Baltimore of dipping
sardines in butter and frying them, which is
novel, and, it is to be presumed, peculiar to
Baltimore.
Dear, dear! The London Caterer says that
at some fashionable houses, japanese pastilleS
are burnt after the fish courses, to disguise
the faint odor it leaves behind. The same
paper continues, ''this may appear fastidious.
but it is decidedly agreeable"

DR. JOHN WifHERsPooN- college and one Of
the signers Of the Declaration of Independ-
ence The act was so objectionable as to
cause the withdrawal of a number of minis
tiers who were opposed to ecclesiastical
domination DR.. John Witherspoon brought
with him from Scotland prediSposition to
the forms of government of the Scotch
church. He was man of eminence and
reputation in Scotland and became q tower
of strength 10 the Presbyterian church in
America As president of Princeton, then
the College Of New Jersey, and professor Of
divinity as well, he was in position to exer-
else an important influence on the destinies of
the church. Both as a Presbyterian and a
member of the Continental congress he took
a prominent part in the struggle between the
colonies and the mother country, and when
it became evident that a separation must
take place the only clergyman in the con-
gress in l776 gave the Presbyterian voice
for the Declaration of Independence. There
is tide in the affairs of men, a nick of time
We perceive it now before us. To hesitate is
to consent to our own slavery" he said. Such
words as these had a powerful effect not only
on congress and the country, but especially
upon the members on DR.. Witherspoon's
church, and TO their influence is largely due
the unanimity of Presbyterians in the strug-
gle for independence.
The general assembly was organized by the
synod in Philadelphia on the oath Of May,
J7SS. 1t was composed OF four synods, New
York and New Jersey with four, Philadel-
phia with five, Virginia with four and the
Carolinas with three presbyteries. These
presbyteries contained III y'linisters and Sl9
churches.

The Presbyterian has always We'd success

During the late years OF the church history,
evangelical and benevolent work, previously
left to be prosecuted locally, has been under
the charge of bands organized for the pur-
pose. The hundred years Of its history since
the formation of the general assembly has
shown steady increase in church member
ship, in missionary work and in charity.
Nor has it changed in steadfastness or or

when the constitution was adopted hun

GEN. r. L. GIBSON.

Gen Randall Lee Gibson, who has just

nation by the limestone and blue grass region
of Kentucky, for he was born in Woodford
county, in that state, Sept. 10, 1882 There

ably none in congress, who has had such a
varied career or suffered SO many vicissitudes
as Gen Gibson; and yet, despite many hard
ships, wounds and misfortunes, he still ap-
pears to be in the prime Of life and carries
lightly the weight of So years The pure

Tea and IT'S Tappic Acid.

Tea contains fannie acid, or tannin, the
substance which, in the bark of trees, ike
oak and hemlock, is used to tan leather. The
skins of animals contain gelatinoid sub
stances, with which the tannin unites, giving
it the properties of leather. Tannin may
likewise unite with albuminoid substances,
such as occur in meats, fish, slilk, eggs. and
so on. The natural inference is that if we
take tea with albuminous foods the tannin
will unite with them and form indigestible
compounds.
The newspaper statements we sometimes
see about tes making leather in the stomach
are grossly exaggerated. But experiments
imply that it may sometimes interfere with
the digestion of some albuminous foods, and
have heard of people, though have never
met a case, with whom tea, taken along with
fresh meat, binders digestion. Ii is said,
however, not to interfere at all with the di-
gestjon of dry meats, such as ham and
tongue. One objection to sleeping tea for a
long UI-le is that the longer it is infused the
more tannic acid is extracted Coffee con-
tains fannie acid, but less than tea.-Pro-
fessor w. o. Atwater in The Century.

From tho Charleston star.
About four days ago the announcement
WAS made that Senator John h. Kenna
would speak at the court house last night,
but notwithstanding the shortness OF time
in which the notice was given the building
was filled at an early hour and Star re-
porter going to the scene about eighto'clock
found il impossible to gain admission to the
building. The court house was not only
filed. but the doors and windows were
blocked with a dense mass of humanity who
were endeavoring to hear what was being
said by the distinguished speaker. This
was a strong evidence Of the popularity OF
Mr.. Kenna and also shows that the Demsc-
racy of Kauawha is on the alert and is al
ready taking deep interest in the coming
campaign. The speech itself was master
" effort. 1t lasted one hour and forty min
utes and not one of the large audience as
sembled left tue room during its delivery.
The subject was President Cleveland's mes
sage. and it could have had no better de-
Tense from any one. He showed that the
Democratic party is in favor Of reducing
taxation and relieving public burdens. The
speech was a conservative one, indicating
plainly and without disguise the real policy
of President Cleveland and the Democratic
party to relieve the people Of unnecessary
taxation, and to deny to monopolies and
corporate combinations their unjust exac'
tions from the masses. At the conclusion
of his speech tbs following resolution was
offered and unanimously adopted amid the
greatest enthusiasm;
Resolred, That We the Democrats of Ka-
nawha county do hereby express our un-
qualified endorsement of the honest, manly
and Democratic conduct of President Cleve-
land and, further, we heartily approve and
endorse the able defense of Democratic
principles and the Democratic administra-
ton, so fearleSsly made by Senator Kenna
against the assaults of partisans."
