It is a very comtnon thing to do here. Elsa laughet also. It was so simple and clear and Swedish she wondered that the news of Arne Sandstrom’s wedding had caused her even a mis- giving. She left her chair to swing Arne’s hands while they both finished laughing. “But you ought to be ready,” he cried, “and not Keep the others waiting.

From the St. Louis Republican, May In this country we seem tobe on the verge of adding another to the curiosities of philology, whether to. the advantage or to the disadvantage of ourselves and our posterity time will tell. The | effect of clitnate on the organs of speech bas hada certain influence, so that our “national distemper” of catarrh must be charged with our unquestion- able tendency to pronounce our words with a hasal twang which 1s familiar to the ears of all the world. ‘The influence of race pecultarities in cer- Lain sections is equally remarkable. ‘The African, for example, avoids the letter r, and the children of his Southérn mastersdrop it iikewise from thelr tongues. “Of coace,” said a iawyer ina Western court some time ago, “if this coat should hold, &c.,” and the gentleman was astonished when his native State of Tennessee was nated without dif. fioulty by a bystander. But whence comes the dropping oi the r sound, and its frequent change to another sound elsewhere unknown in Heaven or earth, which reveals the Western man wherever he ts found?

SINGULAR MANIFESTATIONS THAT ARE MYSTIFYING THE PEOPLE OF A HOOSIER TOWN.

Committees of the Northern and South- erm Assemblies to Confer. ‘The Presbyterian Assembly, in session at Omaha, Neb., yesterday adopted the following resolution from the assembly in St. Louis, looking for united ‘action between both divisions of the church: “That @ committee of four ministers and four Tuling elders be appointed, together with the mod- erator, to meet with a similar committee of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America, such committee to De appointed for the sole purpose of inquiring into and ascertaining the position that assembly Purposes to maintain as to the colored churches, ecclesiastical boards, and any other subjects now Fegarded as obstaciés in the way of united effort for the propagation of the Gospel, and report facts tolthe next General Assembly for euch action as they may warrant.” A similar committee was appointed by the as- sembly to confer with the committee above refer- to, ‘THE GRNERAL SUBJECT OF CHURCH UNITY. The committee on correspondence reported upon the project of church unity as suggested by the house of bishops of the Protestant Episcopal Church affirming the principles sustained a few days ago by the assembly, and suggesting the appointment of a committee to confer with a committee of the house with a view to said unity. Several commu- nications looking for church unity were recelved from the Reformed Chureh. Dr. Ostrander showed there were but 24 chap- lains in the United States Army, leaving 85 vacant posts, and asked to petition Congress to appoint chaplains to fill these places. ‘The committee on temperance introduced a resolution, which was almost unanimously adopted, reiterating the de- liverance of the former assemblies with reference to the sin of intemperance, and the duty of all church members to encourage and promote the cause of temperance in every legitimate way, and especially by the power of personal influence and example and by the strong arm of the civil laws. ‘THE SOUTHERN PRESBYTERIANS, ‘The General Assembly of the South Presbyterian Church, after two days’ discusston, adopted the re. Solution offered by Dr. Hoge, and quoted above Which was really a substitute and compromise for the minority report on organic union, that a com- mittee be appointed to confer with a Committee of the Northern Church. ‘The vote stood eighty-one for and flity-nine against the resolution. Dr. Morton presented te report of the committee on narra- ives, Which specially spoke of the lack of attention to the colored people. ‘The committee on. foreign missions recommended the request of the Brazilian Church toallow it toerect a separate national synod in conjunction with the Northern Church missions, Which have been released. UNITED PRESBYTERIANS AND PROHIBITION. At yesterday's session of the General Assembly of the United Presbyterian Church of North Amer- {ca, in Philadelphia, a resolution in favor of pro- hibition was presented and referred to a special committee. Rev. J. C. Galloway, of the Associate Reformed Church South, was introduced and con veyed the salutations of the synod of the South to the assembly. “At the afternoon sessian the com- mittee on, Diils and overtures reported that the Subject of the use of fermented or confirmation Wine inthe Lord’s Supper 1s one in reterence to which there exists a great. diversity of opinion among those who are certainly agreed in regard to the Importance of the temperance reform. IU 18 not deemed wise-or necessary to re-open this question by this assembly. ‘The assembly adjourned with- out disposing of ‘the report, AL the evening ses- sion the committee on bilis and overtures pre- sented a report, Which was adopted, favoring the union With the’Assoctate Reform Church. oo Mr. Platts Hesignation. GOV. HILL SAYS HE WILL NOT ENGAGE IN A “DICKER” ABOUT ANY OFFICE. Gov. Hill was interviewed at Albany with refer- ence to ex-Senator Platt’s letter, recetved by him, offering to resign as quarantine commissioner it Col, Fred. Grant was appointed in his place. The governor said, in substance: “I cannot with pro- priety take any official notice of this letter. ‘The executive of the State cannot properly enter into any ‘bargain’ with a commissioner of quarantine or any other offictal as to who would be appointed is successor in the event of resignation. I must decline to give any ‘assurance’ or engage in any ‘dicker’ in reference to this or any other officer. If Mr. Piatt sincerely desires to resign, his resig- nation must be unconditional and without any promises on my part. Having last winter nomin- ated Dr. Douglass (Gen. Grant’s physician) in place of “Mr. Platt, and endeavored for months to Secure his confirmation by the senate against the persistent opposivion of Mr. Platt and his friends, and this year, having nominated Col. Grant for the same place, and for weeks sought to secure his ‘confirmation against the same powerful opposition, no assurance 1s needed by the friends of Col. Grant (at whose request I made the nomination in the first instance) as to what course T should pursue tn the event of Mr. Piatt’s resig- nation. Tam willing to state to the public that whilett would give me great pleasure to name Col. Grant_as Mr. Platt’s successor, it certainly would be unbecoming under these circumstances, if not positively MMlegal, on iy part to make any: promise in advance or ‘to arrange with Mr. Platt any terms whatever in reference toit, When Mr. Platt resigns, if he ever does, then It will be time enough for me to recetve suggestions from him as to his successor. But he has not resigned, and, in my opinion, does not intend to doso. Hé knows very well that I could not enter into any negotia- tions with him, and his letter is only a part of his scheme to afford a plausible pretext for longer maintaining himself in his office, It Mr, Platt really intended to resign itis singular that he did not inform his senators, who could have confirmed Col. Grant at once for a full. term without any re- tlection upon anybody. ‘This 1s all I have to say upon the subject of conditional resignation, What official action I may take in reterence to ihe changes of msinanagement against the quaran- Une ring will he made known hereatter.” as See Saturday Smiles, “Isn't he a splendid pitcher?” exclaimed a young lady who was wituessing her first game of ball, "replied her “Mickey 13a good pitcher, but he’s Way off to-day.” “Is he?” “Why, he Semis to hit the bat almost every time.” School teacher, iMustrating the difference be- tween plants and animals. “Plants are not sus. ceptibie of attachment to man, as animals are.” iunall Doy, at foot of class: “How about burrs, teacher?”—Burlington Free Press.
