ARMY AND NAVY.

Capt. Henry D. Borup, of the Ordinance
Corps Of the u. s. Army, who has been on de-
tached duty as military attaehe Of the United
States Legation at Paris. France, has been re-
lieved from duty aud ordered to return to the
United States. Capt. Borup is charged with
the purchase and selling Of military secrets and
plans Of the French Notifications. Lieut..
Glassford. of the Signal Corps, left Washington
early last week, and sailed for Havre. Lieut..
Glassford has been ordered to relieve Capt.
Borup. Should an investi CATION of the charges
made against the Captain prove them to DO
true, he will be tried by court martial.
Secretary Tracy has disposed of the court
martial case of Commander James d. Graham.
United States Navy, tried for conduct un-
becoming an officer and gentleman, and sent
the case to the President for final action. The
findings of the court martial and the action Of
Secretary Tracy are in great measure mere
speculation, but the general impression about
tho Navy Department is that the court-martial
found Graham guilty, and recommended his
dismissal, and that Secretary Tracy has recon-
mended that the punishment be mitigated to
suspension for Eve years.

action Of AYERS Sarsaparilla, when
taken for diseases originating in impure

fCharbsrs's JourHal.I

Remarkable are two eptsphs, the first OF
which is said to be upon a tombstone in the city
of Sacramento: Here is laid Daniel Borrow,
who was born in sorrow, and borrowed little
from nature except his name and his love to
mankind and hatred to redskins; who was,
nevertheless, gentleman AID IS dead shot; who,
through long life, never killed his man except
in lf-defense or by accident. and who when
he at last went under beneath the bullets of
his cowardly enemies in the saloon of JEFF Nor
ris did so in the sure and certain hope OF a
glorious and everlasting morrow"
The other, which belongs to Nevada bury
ing place, is such noteworthy achievement in
this line that it may fifty conclude our compila-
ton of few of tne curiosities of epitaph liter
ature: Sacred TO the memory of Hank Monk,
the whitest, biggest hearted, and best-known
stags-driyer Of the West; who was kind to all
and thought i'll of none. He lived in strange
era, and was a hero. and the wheels of his
coach are now ringing on the Golden Streets"

President Harrison and Secretary Foster, Of
the Treasury Department, held a conference at
the White House on Thursday morning, June
80. regarding the details of the international
Money Conference. Secretary Foster reported
that all the countries of Europe had formally
accepted tho invitation Of the United States to
participate in the conference. with the ex-
ception of Russia, and that an informal accept
ance from that country had been received, and
the formal acceptance, he was assured, was
only delayed by the illness Of the Russian
Minister Of Foreign Affairs. The question Of
when and where the conference should DO held
was discussed also who should represent tho
United States, but no FINAL conclusion was
reached. Seven names were considered bat
only five will be chosen. The whole subject
was practically left over for future confer
ence, which will occur within few days.
The President and Mrs. Harrison started for
the Adirondack Mountains on Tuesday, July
5. They were accompanied by Lieut.. and
Mrs. Parker and Mrs. Dimmick. The Presi-
dent has concluded to remain in the mount
aims long enough to see that Mrs. Harrison is
made comfortable when he will return to
Washington. 1t is likely that he will spend
short time at Cape May during the month of
July. He would have remained with his wife,
it is said, but for the fact that communication
between the outer world and the spot selected
is quite difficult Mrs Harrison has continued
to gain strength during the past week, and the
journey will do her good instead of harm, 1t is

CHAT OF THE CORRIDORS.

The magnificent new building in course Of
construction for the accommodation Of the Lii
brary OF Congress has been pushed forward
with great diligence for the PAST four months,
and its construction has arrived at point
where the proportions of the building are be-
ginning TO reveal themselves very closely. For
long time this new Library Building con-
sisted merely of an enormous hole in the
ground. with high plank fence about it.
This fence concealed from public observation

dation and the lower story, bat DOW the walls
have been carried up as far as the third story,
and can he seen from every part of Capitol
Hill. The massive octagon in the center of
the building is flushed nearly up to its full
hight, and much Of the interior work, which
Is massive and complicated, is also completed.
The new Library Building will, when com.
pleteds DO great ornament to Washington
and an honor to the country. With the ex-
ception OF the Capitol, it viii be the largest
public building in Washington, and it is al.
ready evident that it will present very hand
some appearance. Since the full authorization
of the work by Congress there has not been
the least delay Of any sort, and there have
been 10 yexatious accidents or mistakes of any
consequence. The expenditures for its con.
struction SO far have been kept within the linn

GOLDEN THOUGHTS.

If the way of Heaven be narrow, it
is not long; and If the gate be straight,
it opens into endless life. -Bishop Bev-
eridge.
Half the misery in the world comes
from the trying to look instead OF the
trying to be what one is not. George
Macdonald.
The truth, like God, is infinite The
best theology which man can construct
must be, like man himself, finite. Al

There are three postulates, viz, the
being of God, our accountability to
Him and the immortality of the soul, on
the certainty of which every other doc
trine of religion rests. II. b. Heard.
They that make the glory of God
their end, the word of God their rule,

guide of their affairs, may be confident
that the Lord goes before them rs truly
as He went before Israel in the wilder
ness, though not so sensibly. Matthew
Henry.
There are three unchanging facts,
viz: Sin, suffering, death. IT'S a main
function of religion to meet these un-
changing facts-to deliver from sin, TO
relieve suffering and to take away the
sting from death. Hence, religion, too,
must be permanent, and the church, in
this sense unchanging - Canon Lid.

There was not. if early historians,
missionaries and theologians are to be
believed, single tribe of American In
dams who had, at the time of the white
mans advent in the western hemis-

concerning the life, ministry and suf-
ferings of Jesus. But this does not hold
good in relation to the story of Creation,
the Tower of Babel and the Flood, many
of them having Evolutionary history
which almost exactly corresponds with
the stories of these great events. as re-
lated in the Bible.
