The decorum of the Presbyterian as

to unknown this afternoon, and 1t is only
within the memory of the Oldest member
that the dignity of the assembly had ever

the reading of the following telegram
from the Northern Presbyterian, which
threw the assembly into the widest ex-
element, followed by vociferous APP
plause:
The general assembly of the Presby-
terrain church of the United States of
America in session at Buffalo have adopt

foreign correspondence. There are three
plans for the amalgamation of the Pres
hyterian bodies:
1. Tina union into one organic body as
before the civil war.
g. A system OF cooperation between
the northern and southern assemblies.
g. A coalition of all the Presbyterian
bodies.

scented to the assembly one from Ar

Right journalism

In the city Of st. Louis while a
once highly revered man lay
stricken with disease and resting
also under the shadow of suspicion
affecting his personal integrity,
one newspaper seemed to leave no
stone unturned to add to the
Affections of the distressed man.
The st. Louis Republic contained
an editorial entitled Right
Journalism and doubtless the
writer had the conduct of this
particular st. Louis newspaper in
view. The Republics excellent
article on Fright Journalism 'ccn-
cluded in this admirable way;
"The heart of newspaper,
which is the heart of men, should
be always strong against inhuman-
tiles. Its strength should combine
II sane sympathy; not a mere
maudlin tenderness which forgets
the wronged to weep over the
wrongdoer, but an element of hui
man nature consistent with rigid,
memorable justice-a touch of
mercy that pities though it must
punish-a humanity that will not
unnecessarily wound-a decency
that will not hound the stricken to
death-a fair dealing that will
give even the very devil his due.

NATURES REMEDIES.
The Medicines That Are Used by ths
Adirondack Natives.

"When the Adirondack native be-
comes afflicted with any of the nu
merous trihing ills which make man.
kind wretched," said the returned
visitor, ''he does not waste much
time on doctors, but goes straight
to the woods or the attic for ma
lures own remedies. There is one
old man whom / have met with
pack basket on shoulder and shear;
and rough board stool in his NIT
tened hands going after yarrow
which, dried, is standby for coughs
when it has been made into wicked
looking brew. Fir balsam, coaxed
drop by drop from the blisters which
swell on the balsam fir at full moon
is a sovereign remedy for chest and
lung complaints.
Gravel weed, by which name
they insult trailing arbutus, is ex-
cellent for the complaint which
gives it its name, and bladder root
has desirable effect on the kidneys
and neighboring organs. Sage tea,
containing a little summer savory,
is efiicacious for worms in children,
for which belmonia, also stepped, is
also used. Sunhower seeds, stepped,
strained and sweetened with mo-
lasses, will cure the whooping cough
Horseradish leaves, wilted and
bound on the face and back Of the
neck, will drive away neuralgia, and
a nutmeg, bored and tied around
the neck, will keep it away. The
nutmeg must be renewed about
once every six weeks.
"Onions sliced, pounded and
placed in a cloth and laid over the
affected part will draw out inham-
nation. A red onion halved and
with one part slightly scooped out
and the cup placed over a carbuncle
or boil will speedily remove the
pus and has saved life.
"There are many more Of these
simple remedies in the north woods
pharmacoppia which the wise ones
have at their fingers ends, and if
they are not more widely used and

At Least the Newly Appointed Post

A new postoilice had just been
opened in Il small country town in
Canada. For want of IA more likely

Shortly after the countryman's
installation a commercial traveller
appeared at the wicket, received a
letter, opened it and produced there
from money order, which he inn
mediately presented for payment.
The postmaster took the order, read
it and rercad it, suspiciously scruti-

The commercial traveller argued
the point for awhile, but to no pur-
pose. He must be identified. But
how? lie had never been within
thirty miles of the place before. He
was about retiring in disgust and
had already reached the door when
a brilliant idea flashed through his
brain.

the wicket, where the rustic stood

very excited; 81 have it"
