SOUTHERN PREsBYTERIANs.
They Will Consider the Question of Uniol
WITH the Northern Church.

With the Northern Church.
DALLAS, May 16.-The general assem-
bly, of the Southern Presbyterian church
begins a ten days session here today.
Among the most important matters to be
discussed will be the relations with the
Northern Presbyterian church.
This subject was prominently before
the assembly last year in response to the
proposition from the assembly at Sara
toga that the southern assembly appoint
a special committee of nine to confer
with a similar committee of the northern
assembly and to stake into consideration
the whole question of organic union of
the two bodies upon the basis of one
common standard"

Four Feet of Snow In Eight Hours.

II have seen four feet Of snowfall
in eight hours, said Conductor Cobb
of the Maine Central, land yet it
was SO light that you could wade
through it just as you can through
water.
ut was in the Sierra Nevada
mountains-a sort of frostlike snow
that falls in the night, burying ev-
erything. Twelve feet away from
another man you can just see him,
with a sort of halo around him, as
though somewhere the sun was
shining through the storm. In these
storms it is impossible to tell direc-
ton or distance. One is simply lost
when only a short distance from
camp.
in tine morning we walked down
into town. One man went ahead,
breaking the snow, which came
nearly to his armpits as he moved
through it. He would tread until
tired, when he would drop to the
| rear, and some one else would lead
the procession. AS we walked into
the valley it grew less, and down be-
low in the town there had been nc
snow, and all the time the sun or
the stars had shone. Such a snow
goes like dew-disappears, evapo.

Rented Diamonds.

It is gradually becoming known
among pretentious people that dia-
monds, like houses and horses and
carriages, can be rented for the sea-
son. This will enable those who have
a high social ambition, but limited
means, to make a greater display
than they have been able to do for
merly. You can go to certain dia-
mond dealers in Maiden lane in New
York and obtain rings for the fin
gers and ears, necklaces and brooch
es, pendants, hairpins and all the
other kinds of diamond jewelry by
depositing or giving bond for the
full value of the article and paying
5 per cent u month for their use, and
this, I am told, is getting to be a
very large and profitable business.

more bonds, thereby still further in,

business men Of that city are almost
unanimous in favor of a single stand

fact that these same merchants con-
%stantly reach toward the west and
the northwest for a share of the pub

overtures Of friendship, pursue IA
course most inimical to the welfare
of the west. They would induce
the Montana mar to buy ever while
