At Napoleon's Tomb.

Robert Ingersoll, who recently visited
Napoleon's tomb, says: IA little while
ago stood by the grave of the old Ma
poleon-a magnificent tomb of. gilt and
gold, fit almost for deity dead-and
gazed upon the sarcophagus Of rare and
nameless marble, where rest at last the
ashes of that restless man. | leaned

the career of the greatest soldier of the
modern world.

snow and the cavalry of the wild blast

cred leaves. l saw him at Leipsic in
defeat and disaster-driven by 100000
bayonets upon Paris-clutched like

him escape and retake an empire by the
force of his genius. saw him upon the
frightful field of Waterloo, where chance
and fate combined to wreck the fortunes
of their former King And / saw him at
ST. Helena, with his hands crossed be-
hind him. gazing out upon the sad and
solemn sea.

Household Hints.

| Plain Fruit CGke-Three eggs, two
and one half cups sugar, one cup of but
ter and one cup of milk, one cup of raj
sins, one cup of currants, one table
spoonful of soda in the milk, two tea
spoonfuls of cream of tartar in four cups
of flour.
Lemon Pe-Two lemons, three eggs,
three cupfuls of sugar, two tablespoon
fuls of cornstarch, one pint of boiling
water poured over the cornstarch, but>
ter the size of an egg. Use the whites of
the eggs for the frosting. This makes
two pies.
Lamb Cutiets-Takc a neck of lamb,
divide into outlets, trim them neatly,
dip them in liquifed butter, sprinkle
them with pepper and salt and boil them
in double gridiron In front of brisk
fire; dispose them in a circle on a dish
round pyramid of stewed peas.
Group Pyeoentioe-First get piece of
chamois skin, make it like little bib;
cut the neck and sew on tapes to tie it
on; then melt together some tallow and
pine tar; rub some of this in the chamois
and let the child wear it all the time.
Renew with tar occasionally
For the Ladies to Kn0W-The little
boxes of thin wood which are used to
carry butter or lard in, when covered
with cambria or silk make pretty work
boxes. Small peach baskets, painted
and lined with bright color are orna-
mental and convenient, besides afford
ing the satisfaction which comes from
making something from nothing.
Baked Apple Puddang-The yolks of
four eggs, six large pippins, grated, three
tablespoonfuls of butter, one half cup of
sugar, the juice and half the peel of one
lemon. Beat the sugar and butter to
cream, stir in the yolk and lemon with
the grated apples. Pour in deep pud-
ding dish to bake. Whip the whites and
add them last. Crate little nutmeg
over the top. Eat cold with cream.
Tomatoes IN Sand-It is generally
known that the late tomatoes may be
kept long after the frosts have destroy
ed the vines and the ripe fruit have dis
appeared from market. This is done by
picking the green tomatoes as late as pos
sible and packing them in dry sand, put
ting them away where they will not
freeze. A few days before wanted, take
out layer from the sand aud place
them in q sunny window or in a warm
room where they will ripen and be just
as nice as though fresh from the vines.

IN BEHALF OF DIR. BRIGGS.
The Appeal Made to the Presby
terry of New York.

terry OF new Ork.
ALBANY, N. Y, Oct. Moderate
Parsons, of the Presbyterian Synod, ap
pointed this morning the following judi
cial committee, which will pass upol
the complaint of DR.. Briggs and the re
port thereon to the synod:
Ciergymen-L Merrill Miller, of Og
densburg; james Gardner, of Glovers
vile; Josiah F. Kittridge. of Geneseo
Cassius H. Dibble, Of Perry, N. Y.
George R. Spaulding, of Syracuse; Da
vid F. Bonner. of Florida, Orange Co.
Robert D. Sproul, of Brooklyn, and
John v. c. Nellis, of Union, Broome Co
Eiders-Stanton Caddy, OF Sing Sing
James L. Stark. of Camden, N. Y; Hor
ace Briggs, of buffalo; Andrews Long
of Romulus; Alfred B. Smith. of POUCH
keepsie; Levi T. Hamilton, of Bridge
port, N. Y, and William r. Hurlburt, Of
Leroy, N. Y.
The complaint was fled this after
noon. It is directed against these three
rulings of the moderator of the New
York Presbytery. November 4, 1891.
s'Fhat the committee which prepared
the ch Urges against Briggs, presented to
the Presbytery October 5th. 1891, was a
committee of prosecution under section
II OF the revised book of discipline.
stThat this committee was in the
house on the day on which the citation
was returnabte, November 18th, 1891, as
aforesaid, as an original party.
"That the committee MS an original
party was virtually and practically in
dependent of the Presbytery."
These are the reasons for the COM
plant:
The records of the Presbytery do not
show that the committee was appointed
as committee of prosecution under sec
ton IL of the revised book of discipline.
Section 10 of the revised book of dis
cipline declares that "when the prosecu-
ton is instituted by Judiciary the
Presbyterian Church in the United States
of America shall be the prosecutor and
an original party" But the Presbyte-
rian Church in the United States of
America was represented in the house
by the Presbytery of New York itself,
and not by committee of the Presby
terry.
A committee appointed by the Presby-
terry is subject to the control of the Pres
bytery, otherwise the creature is greater
than the body creating it.. 1t was there
fore competent for the Presbytery to
discharge the committee on dismissing
the case against DR.. Briggs, But a mo-
ton to this effect was ruled out of order
by the moderator. The committee, be-
ing creature Of the Presbytery, had no
right to appeal from the decision of the
Presbytery in voting, by large major
ity, o. to 80, to dismiss the aforesaid
case. Yet this action of the Presbytery
in sustaining the ruling of the modera-
tor as above, permitted them to do so !.
By this appeal of the committee the
Presbytery is placed in the absurd posi-
ton of being compelled to defend its own
action in dismissing case, not against
the complaint of any individual, nor
against the appeal of one who has suf
fered personal detriinent by a judicial
decision, but against a committee which
was appointed by and derives all its au-
thority from the very body against
whose judgment it now proposes to
maintain it's opinion.

The Bible.

Thank God for the open Bible, the
word of truth. 1t has power and energy
equal to all the antagonists of virtue,
and will at last drive out all idols from
the earth. Here is the catholicon for
every i'll, personal, political, social. Here
is the catholicon for every ailment of the
body polite. The Bible is the conserya-
tive and the progressive principle in all
human institutions. All progress in
government, all humane notifications
of international law, mitigations of the
cruelties of war, social ameliorations,
all that is kind, and just, and upright in
human intercourse, everything that
gives stability to free government, Sc
curity to the people, harmony 10 socie-
ty, sacredness to principle, hope to man,
salvation to the lost, derive their sane
tions from the word of God. The Bible
is the best insurance ON property, best
preserver of life, best preventive of
crime, best stimulant of patriotism. best
conservator of morals. Churches and
Sunday schools are more officacious than
police or fire companies, or courts, or
| prisons, or martial law.

1t Is not at all unlikely that Barney & Smith,
the great car builders, of Dayton. O., and about
the most considerable competitors that the Pull
man Car Company has in this country, will in
the not distant future establish branch estab-
lishment here. Mr.. Barney, the senior member
OF the concern, was In this city some time ago,
and 1t is said that he was persuaded to come out
here by President James J. Hill, of the Great
Northern line. He made . personal investiga-
ton of several points on the Sound, but was
more favorably impressed with Seattle than any
other place.
The company OF which he is the head manu-
features all sorts of cars, from the commonest
freight to the most elaborate dining and sleep
ing cars. Mr.. Barney has expressed the opinion
that he could make cars under advantageous
circumstances here on account OF the plentiful
ness of material which is largely used in their
construction. Tho Washington DR. is we'll
