A group of iders about one Of the Rich
mond cigar stores, says the State, were dis
cussing girls and chewing gum, all wonder
ing why she chewed so vigorously and so
persistently. A sage-looking young man
said, as he moved his jaws rather suspicious
ly, "Why, the girls don't chew any more
gum than the men," This precipitated an
argument, which, of course, drifted to a
wager, as mems arguments usually do, and
committee of three walked block and
stationed themselves beside nickel-in-the
slot machine, that emits blocks of gum
when properly touched. The machine was
tapped fifteen times in one hour, and ten of
its patrons were grown men, one was small
boy, and four were women. In justice to
the male majority it should be said,
however, that they only use pepsin and
peppermint gum for dyspepsia and to kill
the odor of root beer"

A Pennsylvania paper says that in the
legislature recently, during lively debate
on bill supplementing an act relating to
criminal trials, all of the lawyers on the
floor took part and aired their legal knowl-
edge. Those who did not know much law
were very much interested and listened in
tently. Among these were two Philadel-
phians who maryeled at the learning of the
attorneys. Mr.. Fow was speaking, and in
the course of his remarks used the Latin
expression "LgnOrantia legis neminim en-
cusat, which, being freely translated,
means Ignorance of the law excuses no
one" One of the Phiadelphians, turning
to the other, said: "Pll bet you five dollars
you don't know what that means" CPL
bet you ten dollars dc" said the other
Put up your money" said the first man,
and two ten dollar bills were placed in an
other legislators hands. "Now, what does
it mean ?" asked the first speaker. "Wby,
that's an easy one" said No. ,; cit means
say nothing but good of the dead" "Well,"
remarked the first speaker, 81 hadn't any
idea that you knew it give him the money"
Afterwards the fellow who won the bet was
heard to say that il was the biggest bluff he
ever made.

The basis of the charges against DR..
Briggs, upon which he was convicted and
suspended from the ministry Of the Presby-
terrain Church, was the inaugural address
delivered by him on the occasion OF his ln-
PRODUCTION into the Edward Robinson
chair Of biblical theology in Union The
illogical Seminary in the city of New York
on January 90 1891. The principal sPecl-
fications recite in substance that DIR. Briggs
declared that in the case of some persons
the Holy Scriptures are not sufficient to
give that knowledge of God aud His will
which are necessary to salvation, but that
some NAV find that knowledge through the
reason that Moses is not the author of the
Pentateuch; that Isaiah is not the author
of half the book that bears his name; that
predictiye prophecy has been reversed by
history and much of it has not and never
can be fulfilled that there is progression
or probation in the future state, aud that
there are errors in the Bible, consequent
upon its having passed through many hands
in its transmission to US. DR.. Briggs, In
bis defense, maintained that there was moth
ing in his teaching which, properly under
stood, impaired the Bible as a rule of faith
aud practice, OF that was contrary to the
Interpretation Of the Westminster Comics
sion. The vote against DR.. Briggs in the
assembly was more than three to one.

The body Of Jefferson Davis was buried
in Hollywood Cemetery, Richmond, last
Wednesday. The funeral cortege reached
Richmond at $40 in the morning, having
stopped at several Southern cities on the
way from New Orleans, and the casket was
exposed to view in the Capitol during the
forenoon. Between the hours Of 9 and II
o'clock about FIVE thousand public school
children passed by the bier, each one drop
ping flowers as tribute Of affection until
the huge mass bad assumed proportions
equal to several wagon loads. The body OF
Mr.. Davis was carried to its resting place
on a caisson or catafalque beautifully draped
and drawn by six white horses. Gen. John
B. Gordon was chief marshal Of the process
sion and was attended by some Of the most
distinguished survivors of the Confederate
army. The ceremonies at the grave were
simple-a funeral dirge by Stonewall Band,
reading of Scriptures, hymn, prayer, and
salute by infantry and artillery. In his
prayer DR.: Moses d. Hoge, Of Richmond
used the following words:
"Here, on this impressive hill we have
laid him down beside the river whose waters
sing their perpetual requiem and amid the
flowers which speak of the resurrection OF
the Just aud of the land where death never
withers the affections which bloom in beau
" and fragrance eyermore. Now that the
sorrows and desOlatiOns Of war have been
for so many wears exchanged for the bless
ings of peace, may all animOsities be buried
in the grave aud may all the inhabitants Of
this great land, from North to South and
from East to West, learn more and more to
cherish the relations which unite them as
children of one father and as citizens Of
one country. May mutual regard for each
others interests, happiness and rights be-
come the noble law of national life. May
freedom founded on justice and guarded by
constitutional law, with religion pure and
uude6led, secure to our people perpetual
heritage of unity, prosperity and peace.
