READY FOR A DECISION.

But It viz Take a Week to Take Vote
of the New York Presbytery On Briggs
Case-An Arguments and Testimony
Finished.
NEW YORK, Dec 22.-The trial of Dr.
Briggs was resumed before the New York
Presbytery this afternoon. DR.. Lampe
took up the sixth charge, that DR.. Briggs
teaches that santifcation does not follow
Immediately after death. As he under
stood Dr.. Briggs view, it is that when a
man leaves this world he enters the middle
state in exactly the same condition as he
left this world, and he is compelled to pass
his existence in the middle life imperfect
ing himself for the glory that he shall en-
Joy with God and the Savior after the judg-
ment Dr.. Briggs position is contrary to
that held by the Protestant Church.
The claim Of the accused that such a
mystical change should follow Immediately
than many miracles recorded in the New
Testament, or the change that came into
John Bunvan's life and that of "the
wickedest man in New York" upon their
conversion to Christ
More temper was displayed to-day than
at any previous session. When DR.. Lampe
had concluded his argument, DR.. Henry
Van DYKE moved that as the moderator had
ruled that DR.. Lampe had introduced new
matter in his rebuttal, Prof Briggs be al
lowed to reyly to it. Colonel McCook de-
Tended DR.. Lampe, saying he had intro
duced new argument, not new evidence.
Finally Moderator Bliss ruled that new
matter had been introduced, and gave to
Prof Briggs the right of reply.
DR.. Briggs reply did not occupy much
time. The Professor attacked DR.. Lampe's
historical knowledge. He closed by saying
the court had his defense, aud he challenged
the members to judge him by the Scriptures
and the Westminster Confession.
Moderator Bliss then ruled that the case,
so far as the arguments and evidence are
concerned, is ended. The next thing is for
the court to consider the evidence and afgu-
ments in detail. 1t took long discussion
to choose time for this, but next Wednes-
day was finally selected The sessions will
be secret 1t may take a week to complete
the vote. Close votes on the charges are
expected

1t is believed that Clark relies on the
difficulty that exists of proving he was

consequence be very hard to obtain. Clark

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 22-It was re-
ported to-day that the Secretary Of the
Navy had annulled the contract between
the Government and Mundy & Co. for the
removal of the Delaware river islands.
The annulment was made, it is stated, upon
the recommendation of Major Raymond,
the engineer in charge cf the work of re-
nioval, with the approval of the chief of
engineers The assigned reasons for an
nulling the contract are the numerous de-
lays in the work and the inadequacy of the
contractors plant
The contract to remove the river islands
and improve the harbor of the city is a
mammoth one, involving an expenditure of
between 100000 and $3,00O,0 900. The

And 1t Is reported that the exports from
this country include descriptions OF cot

to Brazil. This because the demand
there has undergone important changes
since the emancipation Of the slaves.
The demand for blue drills, which used
to be the staple export, has fallen
on to small dimensions. and better
kinds are now desired. Also 1t is noted
that q much greater interest than here
tofore is taken by our manufacturers
and their agents in the possibilities Of
South American markets, and that they
show more disposition to accommodate
themselves to the requirements Of the
peoples with whom they wish to trade.
This aids the advantages given under
the treaty with Brazil perhaps to al
most an equal extent. and the fact
speaks volumes for the probable future
OF our trade relations with that country

A good mechanical eye is an almost
essential requisite in a good mechanic.
No n can ever attain distinction as
a mechanic unless he is able to detect
ordinary imperfcctions at sight, SO
that he can see If things are out Of
plumb, out Of level, out of square and
out of proper shape, and unless he can
also detect disproportioncd and ILL
shaped patterns. This is a great me-
chanical attainment, and one which
can be readily attained by any ordi.
nary person. or course there are dc.
fective eyes, as There are other defec-
tive organs; the speech, for instance,
is sometimes defective, but the eyes
are susceptible of the same training as
any organ. The muscles, the voice,
the sense of hearing, all require train
ing. Consider how the artist must
train the organ Of sight in order to
detect the slightest impcrfection In
shade, color, proportion, shape, ex-
preston, etc. Not one blacksmith in
five ever attains the arts of hammer

the subject was pretty we'll exhausted,

without sufficient information, because
the country had the Ease presented in
its strongest light from both sides and
knew exactly what 1t was doing. The

those who were projections enemies.

we find the Democratic party this year

Denocyatic P,o.pects.

1t is reasonable to believe that thcre
is not an intelligent Democrat in this
country who does not seriously doubtthe
wisdom Of his party in making a
straight free trade issue for the present
campaign. Democrats call their tariff
plank "a tariff for revenue only, but
that is practical free trade-the same
kind Of free trade that England has. 1t
means the removal OF all protection
from our Industrial interests, and the
collection Of duties from only such arti-
cles as We do not produce at home, and
In such quantities as our revenue neces-
stiles may require.
In 1884 the tariff cut but little figure
in the campaign, and the Democrats
were successful. MIR. Cleveland raised
the tariff reform issue in 1883, in order
principally to divert public attention
from his pension ~vetoes. which we're ex-
citing indignant comment liz all parts of
the country-except, of course, the
South. In that year the attack upon
protection was comparatively mild. The
cry was Tor q reform of the protective
tariff, not for its adjustment, The is

How He Tested Che Train.

The late Emperor Dom Pedro of

engineer who came to show him q
new appliance for stopping railway
engines. The Emperor was pleased
with the thing, and said.
I'VE will put it at once to a prac-
tical test. The day after tomorrow
have your engine ready; we will have
1T coupled to my saloon carriage, and
then fire away. When going at full
speed l will Unexpectedly give the
signal to stop, and then we will see
how the apparatus works."
At the appointed time the Emperor
entered his carriage and the engineer
mounted his engine, and on they went
for a considerable distance; indeed,
the young engineer began to suspect
that the Emperor had fallen asleep,
when the train suddenly came to a
sharp curve round the edge of a cliff.
on turning which the driver saw, to
his horror. an immense boulder living
on the rails.
He rad just sufficient presence of
mind to turn the crank of his brake
and null up the engine within a
couple yards of the fatal block.
Here the Emperor put his head out
of the window and asked what they
were stopping for. The engineer
pointed to the piece of rock, on seeing
which Dom Pedro burst into a merry
laugh.

Having once occupied the Presidential
