Dr.. Momerie on "Agnosticism."

The Rev. DR.. Alfred W. Momerie Professor
OF Logical metaphysics at Kings College, Lon
don, spoke to very large audience Wednesday
morning in the Adams Chapel of the Union
Theological Seminary, New York. Agnosti-
cism was his subject, and he showed thorough
mastery of the subject, on which he is believed
to be one Of the greatest living authorities.
DR.. Momerie did not take up Schopenhauer,
Kant or Schlegel, but devoted himself to dis
proving theories of Herbert Spencer,
The word agnostic, DR.. Momerie said, was
invented by Professor Huxley twenty or thirty
years ago. He defined the difference between
true and false agnosticism. The essence Of ag-
Mysticism, he said, was "series of sensations"
He also said: "Agnostics assert that because
they cannot see their soul they have none on
the same principle they might say they had no
eyes If they were born blind. The agnostics
are generally called exact thinkers, but they
assure us that the idea of our possessing a soul
is untrue Without permanent soul there
could be no remembrance" In regard to the
theory that remembrance and imagination was
one. DR.. Momerie said that imagination and
memory were not identical.
The soul" said he, sis that something
which unites everything into single faculty."
Spencer's theory of God-the unknowable and
the consciousness, was misleading, and
when freed from confusion and error he agrees
With the old Pentateuch.
DR.. Momerie goes to Boston in fortnight
and breaches at Harvard shortly after his return
to New York, he will visit Philadelphia. The
date OF his return to England has not yet
been determined.

MARRIAGE IN NORFOLK.
Mr. lowenberg and Miss Hamburger Now
Husband and Wife.


NORFOLK, VA, Oct 26th, 1893.
On Wednesday evening at six o'clock, ont
of the most brilliant weddings, if not the mos
brilliant, of any that has occurred in Jewish
circles for years, was contaminated at the Ohet
Sholem Temple, the Rev. DR.. Eberson officia-
ting.
The contracting parties were Mr.. Bernard
Lowenberg and Miss Amanda Hamburger,
both of this city.
The temple was filled to OVERLOOKING with
friends and acquaintance Of the bride and
groom. The altar was tastefully decorated
with potted plants. Over the centre of the
altar hung suspended from an arch of roses and
evergreens, q beautiful lovers knot of choice
white flowers.
The ushers were Messrs P Hoffheimer, J.
Lowenberg, M. Seldner, Leopold Stern, Joseph
B. Hecht Joseph Hecht, and Willie Hambur-
ger, Of this city; and Messrs. s. Heilmann
and A. Rosenau of Baltimore, and D. L. Solo
mon of Roanoke. Mr.. Joseph Hamburger
acted as best man and Miss Jennie Hamburger
as maid of honor.
The bridal party entered the Temple in the
following order
Six Of the ushers, father and mother of the
bride, father and mother of the groom, maid of
honor, the bride escorted by her grandfather,
the groom and best man, and four of the ush-
ers.
The bride and groom met at the altar and
after the ceremony took the lead of the bridal
party, the others following in the same order
as at entering.
The arrangements were as near perfect as
weddings can be. Ribbons were run longitude
nally with the isles and were not removed un-
TIL the wedding party had left the Temple.
This kept the bridal party from being disturb
ed by the assembled throng, which always
forms disagreeable feature of church we'd
dings.
After the marriage the bridal party and in
vited guests drove to Montefore Hall, where
the wedding supper was served, after which
. full dress ball closed the festivities of the
day.

Port Captain Pegram, Of the Union
Pacific" says the Oregonian. returned
yesterday morning from Astoria, where
the pilotage and towage situation, ere
ated by the new Campbell Law. de-
manded his attention. The new board
of pilot commissioners interpreted the
law as prohibiting them from issuing
branches to pilots not attached to a tug
or the pilot schooner. This uhdoubted-
ly accounts for the telegram the pilots
sent to the governor asking him to ve-
to the Campbell bill. They are sup
posed to have believed that they would
not make as much as formerly. In
view of the boards decision. eight of
the bar pilots have attached them
selves to the pilot schooner, and are
getting II ready. They will probably
go out tomorrow. Three Of the pilots
are thus denied branches the captains
of the Escort, Wallowa. and Astoria.
The Escort and Wallowa will continue
with their captains in the Union Pa
cific service. Moreover, the independ-
ent pilots have had to sacrifice their in
dependence enough to make terms with
the company to take them on and off
ships. So the Union Pacific and pilots
will work in harmony. and how they
will divide up the $4,000 or $4,000 thus
annually added to the ports expenses
remains to be seen. Captain Pegram
says: Compulsory bar pilotage is use
less. Anybody can take a ship out to
sea now from Astoria. The channei is
half mile wide, and is all buoyed out.
The extra expense to which the port is
put is simply money thrown away"

Several prominent cannerymen Of this
city were interviewed yesterday. and in
answer to the statements of Mr.. Cook,
reported in the Oregonian denied that
there existed at the present time, or
or ever had existed. any fight between
the Portland and Astoria packers. The
utmost good feeling has prevailed
throughout all the negotiations and as
an instance Of the fact that the can
nermen of the lower river have no ami
mostly towards those OF Portland 1t
was stated that the up river packers
had been allowed in the allotment OF
the coming seasons pack an increase
of at least 40 per cent. on last
years pack, while the allotment Of the
Astoria packers had not been increased
by single case The Portland packers
represented in the combination do not
pack more than one-ninth of the whole
pack so that the representation al
lowed them on the directorate is all
that they could reasonably expect or
are entitled to- Therefore, judging
from last years pack as a basis, (and
there is no reason to suppose that the
pack will be larger this year, the ex-
ira allotment given to the up-river can
ners, must necessarily be made up out
of the profits Of the Astoria or lower
river Gamers, consequently the up
river Gamers have all to gain and MOTH
ing to lose. Mr.. Cook states that Port
land has only one director while As
toria gobbles up the other eight. When
he makes this statement he loses sight
of the interests of San Francisco and
Washington on the directorate in pro-
portion to the number of cases they or
their agents pack.
1t is a well-known fact that on ac-
count of the small margins made by
salmon packers OF. late years. at least
one-half of the expensive salmon pack
ing plants on the river are lying idle,
and it was in the belief that by cur
failing the amount Of gear used the
fishermen would be benefited. and by
combined action the cannerymen could
place their packs to a better advant-
age and reap reasonable profit. 1t
was impossible for everyone to be a
director and the gentlemen interested
are determined that no small matter
shall interfere with this most import
ant undertaking The officers are get
ting everything in readiness to COM
mence work as soon as the season
opens, and nothing will now prevent
the fulfilling Of the original plans out
lined BY the board Of directors.

Principal Kerr, OF our Public Schools,
last week held an exhibition in his room,
OF the work prepared by the schools for
the Columbian exhibition. Several OF
our citizens examined the exhibits, but
large number OF those who were invited
didn't think II worth while TO look at 1t.
The exhibit was highly cTeditable one.
But few Of our people, not even many Of
the parents Of the school children, know
the character Of the work done by the
children in school. This exhibit would
have been a surprise TO them. There were
beautiful maps a different portions of the
globe, handsomely cslored and outlined !;
striking maps, showing the agricultural
and mineral productions Of the States,
&c. some excellent geometrical draw
ings, pictures, &c. There were also arith-
metical work, compositions, business cor
respondence, &c. We feel sure the work
done by our schools will not suffer by
comparison with that of any other Of SINH
lar opportunities. The scholars are to be
congratulated on their good showing.
We regret that the exhibit could not
have been shown 10 some public place for
few days, so that our people could have
had an opportunity TO know what good
talent we have in our schools, but the
work was done at such late date, ow-
ing to lack OF blank forms, that 1t was
necessary to forward 1t as soon as COM
pleted.

Manners at a Tea Drinking.

On one point at least we may con.
graduate ourselves, and that is ON the
improvement in tea table manners.
Some old fashioned folk used to signal
ize the conclusion of their tea drinking
by turning the cup upside down in the
saucer. In other circles the recognized
sign of a Discrimination for more tea was
the placing Of the spoon in the cup in
stead of in the saucer. When the queens
first prime minister, Lord Melbourne,
was lad, residing at Glasgow in the
house of one of the university professors
about the end of the last century--he
wrote to his mother an account Of the
Glasgow table manners.
1--WE drink healths at dinner" he
writes, "hand round the cake at tea and
put our spoons into our cups when we
desire to have no more exactly in the
same manner that we used to behave at
Hatfield, at Elton and at Cambridge
