When most of US went to school there was
in South America both Patagonia and a
TERRA del Fuego; but nowadays there are
no such countries-at least none with an
autonomy of their own. Some years ago
the stronger republics Immediately to the
northward, Argentine and Chill, took forci-
BILE possession of the whole territory, in
Guiding all the outlying islands, and then
divided it between themselves The line
of division cuts in twain what used to be
Patagonia, and runs straight down through
the middle of ST. Charles Island, the largest
OF the TERRA del Fuego archipelago; and,
by the way, there is likely to be a war in
the near future concerning these boundar-
les, because aggressive little Chill, though
she secured the lions share in the first
place, now demands more from her big, slow
neighbor.
This brings Chili's domain down to the
very tip-end of the continent, extends it

west a vast number of other islands, every
one of them a mountain-scattered rem

while its breadth is barely one hundred
and twenty miles. The summit of the An

Communication was most difficult; but
when their wants were made known, the
captain and four men were at length per-
mitted to land. after the guns of the bat
terry had been turned full upon them-the
governor of the port having first satisfied
himself that they had nothing for trade,
and taken every precaution that they
should not ascertain anything concerning
the condition of the country. Yet for hav-
ing practiced so small an act of humanity,
the governor was arraigned by Ambrose
O'Higgins, father of the celebrated patriot
of later years, and the crown lawyer con-
demned him to death!
Shortly after this occurrence, two other
North American vessels entered the harbor
OF Coquimbo, seeking nothing but supplies
for their furnishing crews; but they were
ordered to leave, without being granted
any succor whatever. Some years later an
English captain, emboldened by the pros
pect of gain, anchored his vessel in a
Gillian harbor, with a cargo of merchan-

Pastoral Relation Dissolved.

Lexington Presbytery, Dr.. d. K. Nc
Farland Moderator, met Tuesday in the
First Presbyterian church, to hear the
application of Dr.. James Murray for the
dissolution of his pastoral relation, of
twenty-thfee years duration, with Bethel
congregation. Rev. Messrs. Booker,
Halves, Murray, Walker. Laird and about
a half dozen Ruling Elders were present.
DR.. Murray gave Presbytery his reasons
fol- desiring the dissolution of the relation
that it was absolutely necessary for the
health of his wife that he should go to a
Southern climate. He spoke feelingly and
with much emotion of the affection he bore
the Bethel people, of his long passionate
among them, and of their kindness to him.
The congregation which had reluctantly
Welded it's consent to the dissolution were
represented before Presbytery by Messrs.
A. A. Sproul, Jas. w. McCorkle, VIM. F.
Smith and others. Mr.. Sproul attempted
to speak, but his feelings overcame him and
he only signifed the acquiescence OF his
church. The other gentlemen of the dele
cation also showed deep feeling in the mat
ter. Presbytery dissolved the pastoral rela-
ton and, without dismiss1ng DR.. Murray to
any other Presbytery, gave him permission
to labor outside it's bounds until next
Spring. Dr.. Murray will go Immediately
to his new position in the faculty Of the
Agnes Scott Female College at Decatur,
Ga, and will preach his farewell sermon to
his Bethel congregation next Sunday
morning.

Railroad Notes.

The Chesapeake & Ohio Ry. has brought
to an end a custom which has prevailed at
its Gordonsville depot ever since the day
that the old Virginia Central railroad
reached there, nearly a half century ago. 1t
has excluded the ''fried chicken" and all
other walters from its platform, and prop
erty and given the st. Johns Hotel the ex-
elusive right to occupy it with two walters
only. 1t seems that the great crowd OF
walters who brought chairs and made their
day and night homes on the platform had
become and obstacle to the movements OF
passengers.
The gross earnings Of the g. & 0. for Oc-
tober exceeded those of the same month of
last year by $131, 9OO.92. For months past
that great road has had more business than
it knew what to do with. The passenger
traffic for the West is in excess Of all pre-
cedent.
The inspection train of General Manager
Stevens Of the g. & Q. road, filled with
Superintendent and Engineers Of the road
which passed here Friday, had three special
cars, two in rear of the engine and one,
with an observatory end, in front.
The Chesapeake & Ohio corporation has
been indicted by the grand jury at Char
lottesville for obstructing street there,
just as the B. '& 0. should be indicted at
Staunton for the obstruction Of Greenville
