strong Gale ON the Coast.

CHATHAM, Mass, Dec. 15.-The gale con-
tinues to sweep down from the north very
cold and with thick snow. 1t is very hard
weather for coasting vessels and the north
bound feet viii have much difficulty getting
to Boston. Those that returned over the
shoals before dark have found lee, but Others
will have difficult time getting either way
as the snow is SO thick. Wreckers report that
quite a number Of large loaded schooners re
turned from the northward and anchored of
Chatham Light and will probably remain
today awaiting an opportunity to get back
west of the shoals for better anchorage The
indications are that the wind will shift to
easterly. The prospect is that no more sail
ing vessels or tows will get past this week.

AMUSEMENT NOTES.

1t was overflowing weather outside
and an overflowing house inside last
night while "Mignon" was being sung
by the BOstonians.
Romantic Mignon as sung by pretty
Juliet COrden is musical idyl that has
no counterpart. 1t is dream of sweet
melody to be treasured forever in re-
membrance.
1t pays the best of opera companies to
put on new opera now and then. The
audiences which MignOn drew in COM
pariSon with the houses when the old
operas have been sung is an illustration
in point;
up as Frederic. She is too killing and
sweet in that attire ever to go back into
female toggery.
1t is safe to say that Marie Stone is the
most reliable woman on the opera stage.
She never strikes false note and is
never at fault in her dramatic work.
Tom Karl, you do yourself proud, old
fellow, in the role OF Wilhelm. And as
for Macdonald, the wonder is he didn't
strike the old mans character long ago.
What King Lear Mac would make.
Apparently Miss Huntington has a
small part in 's'Mignon," but it is not

The Southern Presbytery Draws
the Color Line on the Northern
Brethren.
LOUISVILLE, Ky, April 27.-The
presbytery of Louisville has adopted
the following concerning the union of
the Northern and Southern churches:
Gin reference to the question of union
between the Presbyterian church in the
United States of America and the Pres
byterian church in the United States
commonly designated as the Northern
and Southern Presbyterian churches,
the presbytery of Louisville, now in
session, expresses the following judg-
ment, 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 understanding
brought to bear upon the minds of
many of our people in reference to their
Interpretation and application of those
points of our common ecclesiastical
standards that now deal with secular
and political questions, we judge
that the quiet, peace and prosperity of
both churches will be best secured
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, there
fore, may be the individual views. feel
ingS and desires of some members of
this presbytery in regard to the great
question of organic union, yet, for tn e
sake of harmony, and to await the un-
foldings of Gods providence in the fu-
ture, we do now all join in the above
expressed judgment. And, while eX-
pressing ourselves thus, we at the same
time affirm that we cherish toward our
northern brethren the most kind and
fraternal feelings. We admire their
learning and knowledge, their piety,
zeal and enterprise in preaching and
extending the spread and triumphs of
the gospel; commend their interest in
and the labors for the intellectual and
spiritual advancement of southern col
ored people; believe they are of like
faith and order with ourselves and do
therefore most heartily rejoice in their
growing 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
them. Hence their success everywhere
is, in part, at least. our success. We
are one in true Scriptural sense. even
in the absence of a visible or accom-
plished organic uniOn."
