any other man would fail.
We understand the brick school house
in Dist. No. has been condemned by com
mittee appointed by the Board of Education
to investigate it, and a new building will have
to be built. As the building has not been
completed six years, we think it stands the
school board in hand to see that the people
are not swindled by such incompetent archi-
lecture, and hereafter build better houses.

NO UNION AT PRESENT.
Expressed Judgment ofthe Southern
Presbytery at Louisville.

LOUISVILLE, KY, April 27.-The
Presbytery of Louisville has adopted
the following concerning the Union of
the Northern and Southern churches:
'In reference to the question ofunion
between the Presbyterian Church in
the United States of America and the
Presbyterian Church in the United
States commonly designated as the
Northern and Southern Presbyterian
Churches, the Presbytery ofLouisville,
Judgment, viz: Until our northern
brethren can see their way clear to
adopt the policy of organizing the
colored people of the northern States
into separate churches, Presbyteries and
Synods of their own; and until there
shall be clearer and fuller understand
ing brought to bear upon the minds of
many of our people in reference to
their Interpretation and application of
those points in common that now deal
with secular and political questions, we
judge that the quiet, peace and pros
perity of both churches will be best Sc
cured by ceasing to agitate or prosecute
the question of organic union, at least
for the present. We have reached this
judgment from opinions expressed
among ourselves, as well as opinions
and judgments that come to us through
various sources, from different parts of
our Southern Church. Whatever,
therefore, may be the individual views,
feelings and desires of some of the men,
bers of this Presbytery in regard to the
great question of organic union, yet,
for the sake of harmony, and to await
the unfolding of Gods providence in
the future, we do all now join in the
above expressed judgment. And, while
expressing ourselves thus, we at the
same time affirm that we cherish to-
ward our Northern brethren the most
kind and fraternal feelings. We ad-
mire their learning and ability, ac-
knowledge their pietv, zeal and enter
prise in preaching and extending the
spread and triumphs of the Gospel,
commend their interest in and their
labors for the intellectual and spiritual
advancement of the Southern colored
people; believe they are of like faith
and order with ourselves, and do there
fore most heartily rejoice in their grow
ing power and prosperity. Their
standards of doctrine and church order
are our standards, whatever differences
of views may obtain between them and
us in reference to the exact interpreta-
tion of few of the points contained in
these. Hence their success everywhere
is, in part at least, our success. We are
one in true scriptural sense, even in
the absence of visible or accomplished
organic union.n

THE LONE STAR STATE.
Why 1t Would be Perfectly Proper tC
Make Four States of 1t.

That nice old Republican organ, the
Chicago Tribune, is most distressed and
very angry because it has heard some
where a rumor of a plot to cut Texas
up into four States, thus giving the
Democrats six additional members to
the Senate and six additional electoral
votes.
1t is easy to propose this scheme, but
not so easy to carry it. No sentiment
is so strong among the people of the
Lone Star State as the sentiment in
favor of Texas unity. They take pride
in keeping Texas intact, as it was con-
quered under Sam Houston and Davy
Crockett, and III preserving the bound
ries of the Texas Republic, which for
ten years was recognized as an inde-
pendent nation by the powers of the
earth, and which voluntarily gave up
its national existence to enter the
Union of American States. No, the
Texans do not want Texas divided.
But suppose these sentimental rea-
sons did not exist. Honestly, now
why should not Texas be divided?
Texas has as much territory as Maine,
New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachu-
sets, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Della
ware, Maryland, Ohio and Indiana
combined, with some land to spare
Her territory could be cut into thirty
two States each as large as Massachu-
sets. Her population equals the COM
bined population of the nine States OF
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Rhode Island, Delaware, Florida, Colo
rado. Nevada and Oregon. These
States have eighteen votes in the Sem
ate, while Texas has only two. They
have thirty-one electoral votes, while
Texas, with the same population, has
only thirteen. Why should it be un-
just to cut Texas up into four or more
States If her people would consent to
it?
Besides, Texas is growing fsster than
almost any other State in the Union,
and has land enough to support the
entire population of the United States.
We do not see what just ground for
complaint the Republicans would have
liz this hugh domain an empire in
itself lfshould be cut up. into several
States Of the usual size. .- Boston Globe.

The Pig Population,

In Youatt and Martin we find a cal
culation, in substance as follows, as the
produce of two sows for ten years: The
first year they bred 20 pigs, one-half of
which are males, which gives ten
brood sows for the second. The third
year by the same ratio, there would be
so brood sows. In this calculation the
sows after one years breeding are dis
carded. The offspring the tenth year
would amount to 39,062, 500, male and
female. Add to this the males of the
preceding years, numbering 4,882, $40,

Something About Presidents.

Grover Cleveland is the only clergy
mans son who has ever been elected
President, though Arthur's father was
a clergyman. He was not, however,
elected President The fathers of the
Virginia Presidents-W Washington, JEFF
ferson, Madison and Monroe--were
planters. John Tyler's father was a
lawyer and statesman, and John Adams,
the father of John Quincy Adams, was
by profession lawyer. Grants father
was tanner, Hayes father merchant,
and the fathers of Garfield, Lincoln,
Pierce, Fillmore, Polk, Van Buren and
Jackson, were farmers. The chances
for the Presidency in the past have
thus been with the farmers boys, and
of the IS Presidents elected by the peo-
pie only one was o parsons son.
President Cleveland never went to
college, and Washington, Van Buren,,
Taylor, Fillmore, Lincoln and Johnson
had no college training. John Adams
was educated at Harvard, Thomas JEFF
ferson studied Latin at William and
Mary and Madison probably used pony
translations while he was at Princeton.
Monroe and Tyler were also students
at William and Mary, at Williams
burg, and John Quincy Adams gradu-
ated at Harvard. Harrison was col
lege-bred. Pierce was a good mathe-
matical student at Bowdoine College
and Buchanan went to school at Dick
inson College. General Grant was the
only President who had q military
education, though a number of the
Presidents were soldiers. He went tc
school at West Point. r. B. Hayes
was educated in Ohio, and his schoo
was Kenyon College. Garfield studied
at Williams, Massachusetts,, and Presi
dent Arthur went to school at Union
College.
