A very interesting and long article
appeared in the SeieuHfe american,
written by Edward NJ. Byrn, upon
"Fihy Years Progress in Inventions.
We read it with instructive pleasure.
The United States are far ahead in the
very many and great inventions Of the
nineteenth century, century that
distances all other centuries in such
progress. Not only are the inventions

Tie Old Story of Vance and the Pres
byteriau Darkey.

"A good story Is told on the late
Senator Vance, who died two years
ago. said Senator Jones, Of Arkansas,
"As remember It, Vance was trav-
cling down in North Carolina. when
hc met an Old darkey one Sunday
unrning. He had known the old
man for many years, 50 he took the
liberty Of inquirng where he was
going.

Vance.
"'No sab, can't say dat | am an

"'No, sab, | can't say dat Is ever
been buried wild de Lawd in de waters
OF baptlsm.'
"'Oh, | see you are Methodist. , i"
Ono, sab, can't say dat IS one
OF dose who held to de argu-
ments of de faith of the Methodists.'
"'What a e you, then, uncle?'
"I'S a Presbyterian, MarSe Zeb,

Goa, nonsense, uncle, you don't
mean to say that you subscribe to all
the articles of the Presbyterian faith?'

"'Yes, sab, / blieve in de doctrine

"'Well, then, tell me, do you be-
lieve that am elected to be saved?
"Tte old iarkey hesitated. There
was undoubtedly a terrific struggle
going on in his mind between his
veracity and his desire to be polite to
the senator Finally he compromised
by saying:
"Well, I'll tell you how il is, Marse
Leb. You see, Use never heard of any
body being 'leCied to anything for
