Much of our space on the insid

our space to our institutions<

Let us all endeavor to make ti

tlhe Work of the Sonthern
Presbyterian.
ST. Loas, Mo., May 2).- -At last
night's session of the Presbyterian
General Assembly the Rev. Mr. Page
presented the protest of the Synod of
d North Carolina in the Robinson mat
ter. It was numerously signed by
members of the Assembly and was
spread upon the record.
The moderator announced the com
- nittee on oiganic union. He said
e that the task was one he would gladly
have avoided. lie did not appoint
extremists on either side, but men
who could be depended upon to dis
cuss organic union calmly and fairly,
and could further be depended upon
to weigh well any action proposed.
r He did not know the feelings of any
d members of the committee upon the
subject. The Assembly then closed
its business and adjourned, to meet
n in Baltimore, Md., next year.
The Committee appointed by the
e moderat.r of the Southern Presby
it terian (:eneral Assembly to confer
with a si:nilar committee of the Gen
r eral Assembly of the Presbyterian
-e Church of the United States on the
subject of union or co-operation is
composed of the following named
n gentlemen: Messrs. M.- D. Hoge, of
Virginia, J. C. Wilson, of Nashville,
>r Tenn., T. C. Witherspoon, of Louis
ville. Kr., and W. T. Junkin, of

and W. T. Primrose, of North Caro

d tee will constitute a quorum.
n The End of the Great Drill.
WASHINGTON, May 30.-The cul
mination of the National Drill was
reached and passed exactly, accord
ing to programme, at 3 o'clock this
1 afternoon, and with every element
o contributing 'to make -the event one
- to be remembered.
The troops, about 2,000 in number,
were drawn up in five lines, their
! centre facing the stand erected in the
it middle of the broad drill enclosure,
o upon which Lieut. Gen. Sheridan
and a brilliantly uniformed staff had
taken their places. Gen. Augur and
staff came on horseback and remained
.emounted during the ceremonial. Gen.
d Ordway, chief of Gen. Augur's staff,
6 formally announced to Gen. Sheridan
- that the troops were assembled, to
rhear the awards and receive the prizes
in accordance with the decision of
the board of judges. An envelope
containing a list of the awards, sealed
>f with a ponderous circle of red wax,
d was then handed by Gen. Ordway to
.Col. Black, chairman of the board of
judges, who itunpassed itoCol.
King, conductor of dress parades.
-This officer rode to a position a few
>- yards in front of the stand, opended
.the envelope and read the awards,
eordering the commanding officers of
the winning organizations to front in
tturn as the several awards were an
n n?ounced.
t As the name of the first organiza
f tion-the Virginia National Guards
e-was announced, and the coinmand
eing officer was called for, Col. King
d turned and said : "He is in town, sir,
e and can't he far away." At that
n moment the colonel of the Virginia
troops came around the stand from
the rear. The troops left Washing
ton for theirhomes last Saturday and
the colonel and lieutenant colonel
were alone on hand to receive the
-prizes. Three half-covered boxes
containing medals were handed to
the colonel by Gen. Sheridan, ..who
then asked if he had anyone to re
ceive the flags. The lieutenant colo
nel then came foreward, and the large
e flags with their oil-cloth covering,
n making a comfortable armful, were
I passed down to them and carried
away to the rear.
rlthe other prize winning organi
t zations were in line and their com
. imanding officers came forward at the
word, marched sword in hand to the
stand, saluted and received from the
lieutenant general the prizes. The
cash awards were contained in open
envelopes, out of which projected the
rends of newly issued national cur
rency in bills of large denominations.
It seemed to be a problem with some
of the proud recipients how to secure
th'e bills in the fresh breeze which
Swas blowing, take charge of the
e boxes containing the medals, and
with their hands thus occupied salute
as they retired. Two hands were
-hardly up to the requirements in
ssome cases, and more than one lucky
commander retired perforce without
.t saluting in due form.

A Bad Nasal Organ.
For over four years I have been a great
dferer from a terrible form of Nasal
tarrh. I was greatly annoyed with a
nstant roaring in my head and my
aring became very much impaired.
the discharge from my nose was pro
se and very offensive,'and my general
alth impaired. I tried most all promi
nt physicians, but they did not cure no
y, and I u4ed various advertised prep- bu
rtions without benefit.
One day I chanced to read a remark
le article written by a prominent citi
n of Athens, Ga., stating that he had
en permanently cured by the use of
rht bottles of B. B. B.-Botanic Blood
jim. Being skeptical on the subject.
vrote to him on the subject and re
ived a most encouraging answer to the
ect that he had been cured long
ough to be thoroughly satisfied that
return of the disease would en u.
I then sent to the drug store of T. E. 1L
ath & Bro., and purchased B. B. B., t
d to my utter astouishmtert and satis
tion, the use of ten bottles has re
)red my general health, stopped the
aring sensation, entirely healed and
red the nasal catarrh and I am proud
recommend a blood remedy with such on
erful enrative properties. cii
I shall continue its use a little
nger and feel confident that I will be 0
tirely cured of one of the most obsti
ae cases of nasal catarrh in the coun
