Report Submitted to the Presbyferian GEN

eral Assembly.
The report Of the committee On the revision
of the confession of faith has been presented
to the Presbyterian general assembly at Portland
None of the changes proposed impair the integ-
rity of the Calyinistic system Of the confession
The action proposed by the committee consists
Of twenty-eight overtures, each one covering a
change proposed to the confession. The report
says: 1T was found impossible to meet the in
dividual preferences of every presbytery with
ont setting aside what were known to be the
views of large majority of the church. There
was an effort made to secure harmony at any
sacrifice. The report is the very best that the
committee has been able to prepare after weeks
of labor. The division into twenty-eight Gee
tons will enable the church to approve a single
alteration without endangering the whole re-
vision" The report is signed Internationally
by twelve members Of the committee, az d xith
exceptions by twelve members OF the W MY
eight changes in the confession of faith hi teen
are excepted. The points covered are: D. vine

How Ancient builders Built.

The builders Of Babel built well. Ira
dition relates that it was only a confu-
sion Of tongues that checked their aspi-
ration. There can be no doubt that the
foundations Of the celebrated tower that
was designed by its architect to reach
''heaven" were of the broadest and heay-
lest sort; let us say vast walls of the
most solid granite, bound and knit to-
gether by that most excellent insoluble
cement that is one Of the lost arts to
modern constructionists. Yet If latter
day engineers be not hopelessly in error
with. concern to the conclusions they
have drawn as respects ancient ma
sonry from the ruins Of ancient struc-
lures, ancient builders counted only on
the law Of gravitation, which they knew
In an empiric way, for the safety of the
works they wrought. The protector. of
the Nag-on- Wat, whose walls and roof
might have sheltered st. Peters and a
st. PauPs and still have had room for a
building like the Equitable in Broadway
within its vast Enclosures, would never
dream of setting his masons to begin the
laying of his walls say at about fifty feet
from the ground. -Harper's Weekly.

An Oregon Pioneer of 1s4s.

J. B. Nelson, resident of North Yak
ina, was in the city last night on his
way home from Dufur. where he has
been undergoing medical treatment from
DR.. Vanderpool for cancer. In an inter-
view with CHRONICLE representative.
Mr.. Nelson said that he camped at the
mouth of Mill creek on the 18th of Sep
tember, 1845, after having crossed the
plains from Missouri. The only white
persons here at that time were the two
Methodist missionaries, Messrs. Waller
and Brewer, who had arrived here the
year before. The only houses here were
a couple of stone shanties built by the
missionaries on the bluff Mr.. Nelson
made his way down the river and
camped on the bank of the Willamette
where Portland now stands. Not a sin
gle claim had yet been taken up at that
place. Mr. Nelson admired the loca-
ton but could not think of stopping
where there was not white man nearer
than Oregon City. At this latter place
Mr.. Nelson stayed for time and at
other places further south till 1859 when
his health failed and he moved to
Eastern Washington and became the
first white settler in Yakima county.
Mr.. Nelson is now in his 18th year
but Is quite vigorous for his age. He is
a fine conversationalist, possesses a
remarkable memory and large fund of
interesting pioneer "reminiscences and
information.

Fined in cigars for the crowd.

An amusing s'ease' came before the
recorder this morning. Charley Haight
recently put up new shed on the west
side of his building and after it was
handsomely painted he tackled a card in
front warning the public to "post no
bills.n Yesterday the whole front of
the shed was found covered with mis-
cellaneous collection of patent medicine
and tobacco advertisements. Engineer
George Brown was charged with the
crime and a warrant was issued for his
arrest and duly served on him this
morning by Marshal Gibbons. When the
cease" cameup in court, Charley Haight
and Dick Fulton, on behalf of the prose-
cution, 'sswore" point blank that they
had seen George Brown, the defendent,
tack up number of bills and posters on
the shed referred to in the Indictment.
Then the prosecution rested and the
prisoner" was asked if he wished to
make a statement on his own behalf.
He replied curtly: "I don't have to-,
."True enough, you don't have to-" said
his honor. .sIt is entirely at your own
PiCdbuIC. 4ncu -Dl0dS0
torted the prisoner. 'sThen," solemly
responded the recorder, sit remains
with me to pronounce the judgment; of
this court. You, George Brown, have
been charged with fe1oniously and mall
iciously posting patent medicine cards
on the wall of Charley Haight's shed
contrary to the ordinance in such case
made and provided. Two witness have.
testified that they saw you do the deed.
You have refused to answer in your own
defense and the court can draw no other
conclusion than that you refuse because
you have no answer to make. The SEN
tence of the court is that you-set the
cigars up for the crowd" 81 appeal to
the supreme court exclaimed the pris-
oner. sThere is no appeal from this
court, - said the recorder severely. "I
am bust" groaned the prisoner. ''I'l
lend you dollar,'' answered the re-
corder. The dollar was handed out and
the company adjourned to the nearest
cigar store.

GREAT FLOODS IN THE VEST.

From present reports the highest
water in years is experienced at this
time in the great rivers Of the West,
Heavy rains in all directions have
raised the small streams, doing much
damage along the borders, while the
Mississippi and Missouri are swollen
to an unprecedented height. It is es-
timated that 400 square miles in the
vicinity of ST. Louis alone are inun-
dated, while down the river, as far
south as New Orleans, the stream is
breaking it's banks and is liable TO do
untold damage. The Red and the Ar
kansas rivers are on a big rampage,
and are doing great damage all along
the borders At Sioux City the water
is almost over everything, and the loss
of life is reported already to be from
fifty to one hundred people. While the
water is at this height it continues to
rain. At St. Louis the water is 36 feet
above low water mark. Railroads are
suffering in all directions, both in
road beds and bridges, with great dan
ger of the washing away of some of
the great bridge structures on trunk
lines.
