Mr.. John Love, government road supeTintend-
ent, who took part in the search for the missing
young man Miller, furnishes the following fur
ther particulars in regard to the search in tho
Qualicum district: The last seen of Miller was
aOou. 10 a. II. on the day OF his disappearance.
He separated from his companions. and ~ the
hour mentioned the latter were on bluff, when
they saw young Miller in the valley below
Miller called out that he had sho. ct and
wounded wolf and he would follow il up.
This was about three miles from Horne lake,
not far from the old Alberni road, and about
nine miles from salt water. The locality was
in full view OF what local men call the White
mountain, on account of the rocky sides glis-
teniug like marble In the sun. IL was
raining heavily a. the time and the
weather was cold. Miller was in his shirt
sleeves and must have been thoroughly soaked,
for the rain continued all day, and al night the
weather turned very cold indeed. The search
party followed the same tracks as Miller's CON-
pauions did on the day after his disappearance,
but although the most diiigent search was
made, not another trace could DO found. At the
time Mr. Love was there the snow was several
snow only appeared in patches. Mr.. Love is of
the opinion that Miller followed the wolf until
he became aware that he had lost himself, and
then he exeried himself to the utmost TO return
to camp Night came on and found him IN an
exhausted condition, and IN his wet garments
he laid down for the night and died of expos

TRANQUILITY UNDER TYRANNY.

There is a deal of rhetorical rot talked
concerning the peaceful condition of the
South under Cleveland and the pleasant
prospect that tina. condition of peace will
be further increased under Cleveland's
second term. Very likely it will, but what
sort of a peace is it that We have st the
SOUTH Is 1t the peace of equal liberty
under law or is it the peace of tranquility
under civic tyranny; the peace of death
that We find under the car of Russia and
in the Carolinas. The late George Will
lam Curtis. speaking at GETTYSBURG
the last year Of Cleveland's admins
tratiou, said that Lincolns prophetio
vision had been fulfilled. eff there is low
IN heaven today il IS in the heart of Abra-
ham Lincoln as he looks down upon the

SPECIAL PROVIDENCE.

Three great ocean steam ships have been
exposed to great peril within the last
month nv the breaking OF their shafts in
rough weather. The famous Evangelist
Moody and the Christian soldier, Gen.
Howard. of the regular army, were among
the passengers on board ore of these i'm
periled vessels. the Spree. Both of these
excellent gentlemen behaved admirably
and conducted religious services of prayer
and praise at o time when rescue was
doubtful. The rescue of the Spree was
attributed by the believers in acts of
special providence to the prayers Of Mr..
Moody and Gen. Howard.
When the cholera was once raging in
Corea il was supposed to have been ar
rested by the successful efforts OF the peo-
pie IN firing guns at the cholera god or
devil. The disease did suddenly stop its
ravages and the masses ascribad the result
TO their vigorous fusillade. The priests in
Montreal in the winter OF 1866 opposed
vaccination for smallpox and summoned
the people to prayer. and fifty years ago
ribbons were dipped in holy water and
town, district OF Montreal, ID stay the
progress Of great FIRE. National prayer
was offered for Garfield on the
plea that it might rescue a des-
pera;ely wounded man from the jaws
OF death when he was quite pas. all sur
gieai aid. Prayer for Garfield was, OF
course. worth much TO him who prayed
with decent spirit; it was worth much
to the dying president as an expression
OF popular love, sorrow and hope, but
prayer for Garfield in other sense was as
sIperstitious as to pray for rsin or sun.
for light or darkness: as absurd as it
would have been to ask God 10 blast Gui-
team With lightning.
For the perpetuation of this sort Of
heathenish superstition which is preached
in i,npudent defiance of the declaration of
Christ that God sends the rsin to Just and
unjust without discrimination: that the
laws OF nature are inex0rable in their
working. subject to no alteration or stop
page of movement TO save saint or siay a
sinner, the vulgar preaching of such crea-
lures as Sam Jones and Talmage are
largely responsible. There was some
justice as well as rorgh wit in Ethan
Aliens request of the minister, who gave
ali the credit Of the fall of Ticouderoga to
Divine Providence, that ho would just men
ton that ETHAN Allen was there"

Zee how you flaming herald treads
The ridged and rolling waves,
As, crashing DER their crested heads
she bows her surly slaves;
WITH foam before aud fire behind.
She rends the clinging sea
That flies before the roaring wild
Beneath her Kissing lea
The morning spray, like sea-born flowers,
with neaped and glistening bells,
Fails round her fast, in ringing showers,
with every wave that sWels;
Ana. burning DER the midnight deep,
IN lurid fringes thrown,
The living gems OF ocean sweep
Along her flashing gone.
With clashlng wheel and lifting keel,
And smoking torch on high,
Whe- winds are loud and pillows reel
She thunders foaming by:
When seas are silent and serene,
With even beam she glides,
The sunshine giimmering through the green
That skirts her cleaning sides.
Now, like q wild nymph, far apart
She wells her shadowy form.
The beating OF her restless heart
Still sounding through the storm:
Now answers. like coursly dame,
The reddening surges DER.
With flying scarf of spangled fame,
The Pharos OF the shore.
Tonight yon pilot shall not sleep,
VINO trims his narrowed sail;
Tonight yon frigate scarce shall keep
Her broad breast 70 the gale:
And many q :oresail scooped and strained,
Shall break from yard and stay,
Before this smoky wreath has stained
The rising mist of day.
Hark! Hark! hear yon whistltng shroud,
see yon Quivering mast;
The black throat of the hunted cloud
Is painting forth the blast!
An hour, and, whirled like winnowing chan
The giant surge shall fling
His tresses Der yon pennon staff
White as the sea birds wing
Yet rest, ye wanderers of the deep;
Nor wind nor wave shall tire
Those ieshess arms, whose pulses leap
With floods OF living FIRE;
Sleep on,-and when the morning light
Streams DER the shining bay,
o, think of those for whom the night
Shall never wake in dsv!

TIE ACOUITTAL OF DIR. BRIGGS.

The acquittal of she Rev. DR.. Briggs.
tried for heresy before the presbytery of
New York city, was due probably to the
fact that his friends did not coniine
themselves TO the technical question
whether DR.. Briggs has a legal right to
hold the views he does under the terms of
the Westminster Confession. They prob
ably believed wish DR.. Briggs that sound
scholarship ough5 to take the place of an
obsolescent theology. The feeling of the
majority Of the 80 Presbyterians who
tried Or. Briggs was fairly expressed bv
Rev. Charles Cuthbert Hail in a sermon
preached las. gear in the First Presby-
terrain church Of Brooklyn. n. Y. of which
he is pastor. Mr.. Hall said:
I am heartily opposed to tbs revision OF the
Westminster Confession because want To see
the Westminster Confession laid aside and taken

the faith would feel As though they had A ripht

Mr.. Hall said that his opinion OF the
Westminster Confession was neither novel
nor singular. II was shared by a large
number OF presbyterians. and he thought
1t was only question OF time when a
shorter. palmer creed would take the place
Of the Westminster Confession. He VEN
Grated the Confession rs an historical
monument. hut he did not think il should
be kept in the church.
1t was doubtless this feeling that pro-
cured the acquittal 81 Dr. Briggs. DR..
Briggs made an ingenious, acute tech
nical defense. but the real issue in its
spirit and essence is whether the Bible is
divine or human, whether it comes from
God and is His inspired word. or whether
ID is imperfect with the imperfection
inseparab.e from human authorship.
The prosecutors of Or. Briggs say that the
Presbyterian church holds that men must
have. in the words OF u. Lampe. 'aa in
spired and infaliible authority to tell them
Of Tie problems of lie and death. iaSol-
nbie by the human understanding. and
that that authority is the Bih,e aione, not
