The BRIGGS TRIAL.

The Defendant Speaks on Els Own Behalf
in the Presbyterian General Assembly.
WASHINGTON, May 81. = Yesterday
was the second day devoted to the &C
tual trial of Prof Briggs before the gem
eral assembly on the charge of heresy.
When DIR. Briggs, in closing his de-
Tense, solemnly challenged the court to
Judge him justly, the scene was most
impressive and even the most unrelent-
ing anti-Briggs men in the assembly
admitted that the alleged hereto had
made wonderfully strong presentation
of his case.
For n considerable portion of his
time he followed the same lines of argu-
ment that he used before the New York
presbytery, with such omissions and
additions as were necessary to make it
timely and pertinent.
His argument as he presented it was
not one that gave any chance for ora
torical effect. 1t was carefully-pre-
pared technical paper, which entered
deeply into the intricacies of the case.
Much of the address was taken
bodily from the defense" and this
DIR. Briggs had his friend, DIR. Brown,
of Union, read for him. DIR. Brown is
Il man of fine presence and magnificent
voice. While he read, the man whose
orthodoxy is the great question now
before the Presbyterian church sat
back in chair upon the platform and
took little needed rest.
The day was almost devoid of any
thing like sensational features. The
nearest approach to this sort of thing
har Tl,. R,-srr
from DIR. Lampe's address of Monday
and characterized it as a rank heresy
if there ever was heresy.
In the course of his remarks DIR.
Briggs said:
LET me refer to word spoken by
DIR. Lampe: He said, if understood
him rightly, and l tried to take down
his exact words: we know nothing of
Christ save what we get in the Bible
story. CDR. Lampe, sitting directly in
front of the speaker, nodded his head
in confirmation of the accuracy of the
| quotation.) He admits it. Are"you
ready to believe that, commissioners?
Do we learn and know nothing of
Him through the personal relations
that we enjoy in the Lords supper. 1
cannot subscribe to that doctrine. It
is rank heresy, if ever heresy was pro-
mulgated in the history of the church.
Turning to the assembly and raising
his hands solemnly, DIR. Briggs con-
cluded his defense as follows:
Il have endeavored to explain my
views. l hold them sincerely and with
all my heart. hope they are set forth
in Holy Scripture. l know many of
them are set forth in the Westminster
confession. 1 challenge you before
God to judge me rightly and con-
scientiously. l challenge you before
God to judge me according to the rec
ord. l challenge you before Jesus
Christ to do me justice in your judg-
ment."
Col. McCook then proceeded to close
the case for the appellants.

THE LEVEL PRAIRIE.


Reaching the Hills.
eff the horse could stand it, said a
well-known resident of Winnipeg, Man

Winnipeg and ride one thousand mile

which, to the eastern man, seems way

prairie grass covered. Cattle fairly roll

tie country. While most of our settlers
are from across the water, yet the num-
Der from the western states is yearly
increasing. We have no wild west from
tier scenes. There are no settlers killed
over disputed claims, as has been an
everyday story in the west for years.
Our homestead laws require a three
years residence of six months each.

A MASCULINE CRITIC.
Funny Episode at n Drawing-Room AT
fair In England.

fair In England.
Husbands too often neglect to motto
the dress of middle-aged wives. Not
all of them by any means; one or two
instances have occurred of late, but not
one so amusing as that which happened
after dinner party not long ago. The
guests were scattered about the double
drawing-rooms, the inner one of which
was ob1ong. SO that those sitting in the
front room could only see about two
thirds of it.
A lady was talking about British
manufacturers and deploring the fact
that English silk weaving has SO seri-
ously declined from its once prosperous
estate.
There, general,s' she said, slook at
that exquisite brocade that we can Just
see inside the folding doors there
Spitalfields could turn out as good as
that, but we may be perfectly certain
that they came from French looms, if
we only knew"
by Jove," said the general, -s.it's a
lovely piece of stuff. Looks expensive,
too"
''Oh, about twenty-five shillings a
yard" she said, when the yvearer of the
brocade robe walked into the room,
showing herself to be the generals
wife. He had never noticed what she
wore, which showed a very Inadequate
sense on his part of his marriage vows.

Then we had better whistle in the
said Lorimer, with 6isarming laugh.
Lorrie was the only one of the tribe
who ever ventured to comment on their
mothers dicta or to turn her into gem
tie ridiculc. But she was not to be
TESTED with to-day. even by her first
born:
Don't be disrespectful, Lorimer. 1t
was not by my orders that you banished
the dogs. Raphael seemed to think
they might shock Mrs. John Lorimer's
city nerves. l consider that what is
good enough for me shou be good
enough for Johns wife"
Dick Lorimer had habit of per-
tinaciously sticking to his text: ''Un-
questionably, hummer; and what made
me think about flowers was remember
ing how you told us about the fine do
ings' and the gorgeous decorations when
father brought you here bride"
The faintcst possible flush mounted
into Mrs. Lorimer's sallow checks; her
eyes flashed, and her square jaw be-
came, II possible, still more square.
THAT was different. Times We're
different. Everything was different.
1t was my sisters who did it. John has
no sisters. Moreover, your father never
took me anywhere as bride. brought
him here. White Cliffs was my fathers
wedding gift me. And-and-" she
turned her eyes wistfully upon Lor-
liners handsome face, while / meant

boys, / wanted I,orimer's wife to be
the one to take the reins when am

Lorimer put out soothing hand. 1t
stayed the fast-flying knitting-needles
for a brief while.
"'White Cliffs will need no new mis-
tress for long years to come yet,
mother. You are worth any two of us
to-day"

''Lorric. where is Duile?" Mrs. Lor-
inner asked. abruptly.
'Out there with the rest of the dogs,
I suppose
Il think l would rather have him in
here. He is getting old, you know"
Duke was Dennis favorite setter,
and Dennis was among the missing
members of the White Cliffs circle. As
Lorimer opened the door to admit Duke,
the sound OF wheels crunching the
gravel on the drive, quite close at hand,
met his ears. An eager light came into
his eyes. He seized his hat and hurried
towards the spot where Dick and Rafe
were already stationed.
The mistress of White Cliffs laid her
ball of gray wool, all bristling with
| shining needles, aside with slow delib-
Grafton. Her face was CHASTITY in its
pallor. She stood up in her place, but
made no forward motion. They must
come to her. A fretful cutlery, as of a
sleepy child Weakened against its will,
smote on her ears. She started at the
sound. Had John, SO young, so mex
perienced, mated with widow?
Could he have made such fool of him
self? The door was standing wide
open. 1t sounded to her as if fifty
pairs of feet were shutting about on
the resonant marble pavement. A for
eign voice rebuled the fretting child.
The boys, her boys, John among them,
were all laughing and talking at once.
They had forgotten her. She had been
standing there "hours." She was al
ready dethroned-a lonely, old, super

to her. She leaned heavily against the
tall back of her chair, then started as
if from sleep. Johns wife was holding
up sweet, tired face to be kissed.
CHAPTER II.
Among the ancestral belongings of
White Cliffs was tall corner clock of
solid mahogany. 1t was a trustworthy
timepiece, in spite of antiquity and
long service. When This majestic heir
loom struck nine, with the deliberation
becoming to its age and dignity, Mrs.
Lorimer, senior, made a final DISPOSE
ton of her wool and needles by drop
ping them into the gay calico bag which
swung from one arm of her easy chair,
and addressed the family circle imper-
sonally:
81 think will conduct my sons wife
to her room. She must be fatigued
after her journey"
The eagerness with which this sug-
gestion was approved might have been
construed rather unflatteringly by Mrs.
John, had not she herself been most
eager to act upon it. 1t had been an
extremely difficult evening for them all,
and no one was sorry to terminate it at
! so early an hour.

rev people realize what the destruc-
ton OF the forests means. 1t is not
merely the reckless waste of our lum-
Der resources and the injury to land
scape beauty that are involved, but also
the drying up of the streams, the caus-
| ing OF drought and the bad effect on
the climate.
Fortunately. the people through the
legislatures are beginning to move in
the matter. A law has just been
adopted In New Hampshire, the object
OF which is to preserve what is left Of
the splendid forests that once crowned
the White Mountains. from which re-
g1on about six hundred million feet of
lum Der are being taken every year

the reyages of a hundred years have

New York has taken steps to extend
and preserve the great Adirondack
park. For the national domain a re-

Chinese Exclusion Still Matter of Serious
Consideration.

Chinese Exclusion Still Matter of Serious
Consideration.
WASHINGTON, May 31.-The Chinese
question is still a matter of serious con-
sidera ton by the president and his cab
met. The secretary of the treasury
and the attorney-general, together
with Assistant Secretary Iamlin. held
a short conference and discussed vari-
Gus law points.
The latest information received from
China is not calculated to be very as
surfing, while the news from the Pacific
coast indicates condition of affairs
there which BODIES no good to the Chi
nese in the event of failure of the
government to execute the Geary law.
In China the authorities have ordered
a report made on the number of Ameri-
cans in the provinces, paying particu-
lar attention to the missionaries and
Christian asylums.
AS there are no American laborerS in
China it is not believed that retaliatory
measures can be taken for the deporta-
ton of Chinese labOrerS from the United
States. Americans in China are tour
lists, merchants or missionaries and the
laws of the United States apply only to
Chinese laborers.
The mere fact that census of Amer
leans has been taken is not comforta BILE
for those in China or their friends and
relatives in this country.
The situation in the United States is
fairly well understood there and it is
fortunate, perhaps, for us, that the i'm
preston prevails in the fiowery king
dom that at the coming session of con-
gress the Geary law will be repealed.
Should any number of Chinese in this
country be sent back to their districts
it is said that there is every danger of
an uprising in China against foreigners.
With these probabilities of trouble at
home and abroad, the declaration of
the president and his cabinet will be
directly understood. Not only lives,
but American commerce will be seri-
ously affected if the Geary law is strict
ly complied with.
