Vict Prxiid?t Vahdihbilt and par ty rode 15mileein 12 minutes during their recent trip to Cleveland to attend the annual meeting of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railroad Company. Ths Southern papers are beginning to find their voice on the Southern claimi question, and the Atlanta (Ga.) Coiutitu tion devotee an editorial to the subject. It declares that over two-thirds of these claims are made by persons who warmly professed to be Confederates during the war, bat now insist that they were really loyal all through. Such claims as these "will receive no consideration at the hands of Democrat*, either at the North or the South." Tb? custom ol candidates for even l"e highest offices advertising their appear ancelntb political bid isi taking root lo Arkantss. In theadvertislngcolumn. ol the Little Rock dmlU appears U>? '?

W DorMT at the election to be held by the General Assembly of the Bute of Ar ktniu in January next. In the eime issue ol the p.per, imme diately blow the above, it a ?lin?l?Jj printed announcement ol Col. Tyre Hill u a candidate for Governor, "tubject to the decision o! the Democratic Sttte Con tention." or conne in the event ol awar Iue t?een England and Kussia we ahonld be neutral; but we are Ued up In our ac tion! by itricter rules than the ordinary onei ol international law, pertaining to neutrality. Three rules on this subject are laid down by the treaty ol Washing ton. aa lollowa: ?1. To uae due diligence to present the fitting out, arming or equipping, within iu jariadlction, ol any , which it baa reasonable ground to be lt,,. ia intended to cruue or to?m? war againit a power with which it la oT.:ri * ""#2 ? N o t to permit or Buffer either bel ligerent to make use ol its porta a. the base ol natal operations against the other, or (or thepnrpMCOlthere. newal or augmentation ol military sup plies or arms, or tho recruitment ol men. "3 To exercise due diligence in ita own porta and waters, and as to all P"'0? within Its iurisiictjon, to prevent any violation ol the foregoing ojllgationa and duties." It will b very difficult to carry out these stringent regulations in an entirely satisfactory manner. And probably Mr. Evarta, as Secretary ol State, will find himself somewhat compromised by the rigorous interpretation which, as one of the American counsel at Geneva, be caus ed the United States to put upon them. Attract* EuoJtra.?The Xmenoin Exporter quotes from the MnlttS Trade Journal the admission that, 'Taken alto gether, the export list shows that the Americans are pushing their manufsct ures abroad with a persistence which at W deserves succe?." The Trade Jrmr nal also saya: . , , Lut year. Great Britain exported to the Australian Coionlea hardware to the value ol ?647,850, against *1^,807 1876, and X078.701 in 187S. Part of the falling off thus shown may bdue U> the lncreuing stringency of the timealn Aus tralla: but the growing popularity of American hardware ?n the juW ? probable factor in the declension. The Exporter quotes the testimony of G. Henry Horstnann, American Consul at Munich, to show how American manu factures have been displacing in Bnvaria in the lut ten years those ol other coun tries. American tools, agricultural Im plements, household utensils, notions and all varieties of canned goods, are finding a ready sale. American toys are sold In Uurembrg, the traditional homes of the German toy trade. American prodocl. were the larger part of the exhibit at the last agricultural exhibition In Munich. The Consul makes this camparisou ol the German with the American hammer: ?The German hammer is somewhat ol a pig-headed instrument, always going the wrong way, turning in the hand, and not striking fair and list, while the handle is light, round, and roughly finished, and the head it ol the soliesi and poorest mstal. It has no chance by the side ol the scientifically proportioned and ac curately balanced American hammer. The Exporter contains a great deal of very Interesting and valuable information about American manufactures in demand abroad, or capable ol bing introduced. Americana are making great efforta to enlarge their markets. Signa of this movement are seen in Ihe special editions iaeued by the newapapers for the export trade. The Journal Connect of New York, the New York 3W, and the Bos ton Advertiter, have recently iaautd edit lona ia Spanish for the promotion ol trade with South America. Chicago cou d easily do a large business with Soulh America, specially Brs.il> Ita special Use of canned goods, provisions, menu factures of wood, etc. The P?lent Floor Made at the Exploded mil*.

Spring wheat wielded either much lesi In quan tity or else so much of the bran got into the Hour In Its manufacture that iu oolor wis Intolerably dark. The wheat would be ground and then bolted.

Brown were appointed a com mittee to examine Mr. Wm. Q. Howell, a candidate for the ministry, on his college studies. Revs. J. C. Hench, W. R. Sibbet and Elder C. C. Smith were appointed a com mittee to vlait Walton and Arnoldabnrg, and if the way be clear, to organize a church at each of these place*. The exegesis of 8.

"Greek Exegesis and Latin Thesis, which, after being criticised, were at tained aa parts of trial for licenaure. A call from the Morjjantown Church for the services of Rev. J. B. Dickey waa presented, placed in hia hands, and ac cepted. Morgantown was chosen as the next Slace of meeting of Presbytery ami Tiiea ay, preceding the meeting of Synod, at 7J p. m., the time. The Committee on Missions presented their report, which was accepted and ap proved. Presbytery then took a recess till 7 J P. M. EVENING SESSION. On re assembling Mr. Howell preached hia trial eermon for licensure on 1st Cor., 13 ch., 13 v., "And now abideth Faith, Hope and Charity, these three, but the greatest of these is charity." Mr. How* ell is a native of this State, being a resi dent of Morgantown, and a graduate of our University. Hia theological atudiea are being pursued at Union Seminary, New York City. He is a young man, of whom the Presbytery, the Church and the State, may well be proud, being possessed with fine personal appearance, high so cial qualities and true Christian culture. Hia sermon was listened to with an at tention that would compliment any older minister, baing at once forcible, chaste and evangelical, and delivered in a tone of voice whoa* aweetneas fell pleasantly upon every ear. At the close of the devotional exercises accompaning the lerm on, the committee appointed to bring in a testimonial on the death of Rev. A. J. McMillan, pre sented through Dr. Young, ita Chairman, the following reDort: The Presbytery would pauie in its usual business and listen to the voice of God, who by the re moval of one of its members, says with solemn emphaais "be ye also ready." Rev. A. J. McMillan, pastor of the Pres byterian Church at Ravenswood, departed this life on the 2d day of April. 1878, at 7 o'clock p. M. Brother McMillan was born near Zanesville, Ohio. April 28, 1828, and waa therefore nearly 50 years of age. In early life he had the minis try in view and did not desist from his effort* in the midst of diffi culties till the goal wu reached. After apending some tune 'in Ken* tucky and Ohio, be came to Ravenswood in this Presbytery, and wm soon called to be the pastor of that Church. He ac ospted the call and wu installed over the Ravenswood Church some ten years ago, and continued to labor in that Church and the Church of Pleaaant Flats a? sla ted supply until hia death. Brother McMillan waa a faithful laborer, judi cious, tender and earnest. For some 15 vears he auBered from asthma, yet he la bored on In hia work because he loved it. On the evening of hia death, while his famllyand other friends were gathered about him, he said "Now aU is peaoe; I am waiting for the Muter to call me home," and the Muter came and called him. We feel u a Presbytery that wa are admonished to work whua the day luta, that our Lord may find us raady whin ha calls for ui. \ Rooked, That a oopy of this report be Bent to the bereaved family ot oar de ceased brother, a* a token of oor sympa thy for them in their deep sorrow. The mdiflgof the report was followed by prayer by Bet. Mr. Blayney. Ken. H. G. Blaney, Dr. Young and J. H. Flanagan added their testimony of the great worth of the deceased brother, the high Christian character which he bore and the esteem and lore in which he was held by ali who knew him. Presbytery adjourned with prayer by Re?. J. C. Hench, 8undav, Ma? 5th. At 10$ o'clock the Presbyterian Church was filled to overflowing with a congre gation such as hss scarcely ever before assembled in this town. In addition to the usual congregation and others in the community, drawn there by the special occasion, the various members of the Presbytery were present, together with almost the entire Presbyterian congrega tion of French Creek, which is from ten to fifteen miles distant. Rev. J. B. Dickey, of Morgantown, preached from the text found in Qal. 0 14, "But Qod forbid that I should glory save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ by whom the world is crucified unto me and I unto the world." The sermon in its richness of thought, and effective de livery, was one of the most forcible to which we have ever listened. At its close the sacrament of the Lord's supper was administered bv Revs. Flannagan and Qraham, assisted in the distribution of the elements by Elders Dunnington, I Leonard, Brown, Eib, Adams, McKeenan, Young and Smith. At the same hour of 10} o'clock Rev. Dr. Young presched in the Baptist Church, ana Rev. J. C. Hench in the M. E. Church. To Wash Sthipid Table-cloths.?

Tlie Common Enemy. 1 la order to make headway against the common enemy, Disease, it is neceuary to oppose him with persistence. It very fre-1 quently happens that a remedy perfectly adequate to the necessities of the ease, if vtrtwed in, is condemned aud thrown aside because a few doses of it do not care a mal* I ady. How unreasonable and uniost would such a Judgment be regarding iloitetter's Stomach Bitters, one of the most popular and highly-sanctioned medicines ot the day, a potent invigorant and an invariable successful remedy for constipation, dys pepsia, liver complaint, incipient rheuina* tisin und gout, inactivity and weakness of the kidneys and bladder, and for the in firmities incident to the decline of life. No fact is better established than the I above, yet in order to experience its truth those afflicted with obstinate forms of di sease should give this benignant curative a patient trial. If they do, Uiey may rely upon decisive curative results. eodAW TRAVELERS' GUIDE. DirASTuaa of raxnrs. B. A 0. R. B.... Cent. 0. Dlr W.P.AEDIt Oct. A Pitts. ... I P. C. A St. L 1:40 a: u. 11:10 1*.
