After twelve years' absence, I return to this post
of duty. It is hardly necessary to dilate to the
Southern public upon the virtues and value of this
mineral water. It has in the last half century
made a record of cures In chronic diseases which
for variety and aggravation of the cases brought
under Its Influence Is unapproached by any known
mineral water In this country. The professional
testimony to this effect Is distinguished and unim-
But it Is of the preparations now being made by
the new proprietors for the proper entertainment
of the public I would say a few words.
A great work of expurgation and renovation Is
mm going on at the old Alum Springs, Including
a thorough system of drainage, a new and abun
dant water supply of pure freestone from the
mountain, repainting and new roofing, a very large
Introduction of new furniture, and In general a
thorough overhauling of the entire premises.
The elegance of the new "Jordan Alum," Its
spacious and commodious "Grand Hotel" and cot
tages, and the beauty of Its grounds, are widely
known to the springs-going public.
My aim and earnest effort shall be to keep this
now combined establishment In a manner to give
satisfaction to all reasonable guests.
An excellent livery Is engaged, - under a contract
Imposing a reasonable tariff of charges. All the
customary diversions are provided for. such aa
band and ball room music, bowling and billiards,
and all that; but I do not "bank" much on these
things. My main efforts shall be directed, with
the aid of an efficient stall, to make the patrons
of the place comfortable and "at home," and re
gain, If possible, for this attractive summer resort
Its old popularity and prestige.

Buffalo, N. May 28. The ninth
day's session of the Pxesbyterian Gener
al Assembly operned to-day with ser
vice conducted by Rev. Jared M. Char
ia, at South: Carolina, f oypwsd by ,I?r.
'Fage,o Beheste The c0mihibt(ee on
next place of kneeting reported Spring
field, 111, as the place ; that the sermon
be preached in the First church of that
city, and the remaining sessions be
held, if the Assembly so vote, In the
Capitol building, -according to invita
tions of the Governor and the Legisla
ture. The report was adopted.
Rev. R. W. Patterson, D. D, of 'Chi
cago, presented the report of the stand
ing Committee on Systematic Benevo
lence. During the past year there has
been an increase of 3 synods and 36
presbyteries, organized and acting eith
er in the Assembly's plan of benevo
lence or some other similar plan. This
leaves only 7 of our synods and 52 pres
byteries out of 175 that are not known
to co-operate with sour plan. Two of
the 7 Synods and'15 tf the 52 presbyteries
are on foreign ground. The boards of
the Church are all '.reported to have re
ceived increased contributions to their
treasuries, ranging from about $3,000
to $50,000 each, except the Freedmen's
Committee, which has received $3,500
less than within the preceeding year,
but it suffered no decrease in gifts of
the Church. The net increase of con
tributions is ' upward of $85,000. Al
most all the regular causes of benevo
lence re port balances in their treasuries.
The number Of collections from church
es has been increased by 694 within the
year. Nearly 20,000 -( blanks remain to
be filled by non-contributing churches.
The cause of home missions received
nothingfrom l,728 churches, and that
of foreign missions Was treated like
wise Jby .240 .churches. - Further or
ganization is needed in the synods,
presbyteries, and churches. The report
closed with a number of recommenda
tions, among which was the following:
That the Permanent Committee be en
larged so as to distribute its labors
more wisely, and to suggest that Cleve
land be its centre, with ten persons as
members of the committee.
Staunton, Va., May 28, 1881. When
the body commenced business this
morning Rev. Mr. Law, from the com
mittee appointed to examine the pro
ceedings of the Synod of North Caro
lina, made a favorable report
Similar reports were received from
Texas, Alabama, Nashville, Memphis,
Virginia, &c.
Rev. P. R?Law,ironl the committee
on the Virginia Synod Records, offered
several criticisms based- upon that
Synod's actiotf in the casedf the relieii
sure of Reyi RJB. Howison, all of whieti
exceptions were rejected by the Assem
bly. Dr. Hoyt, from the committee on bills
and overtures, presented a report on an
overture from the Synod of South Car
olina asking deliverance of the General
Assembly upon the ' question as to the
law of the church, which was discussed
at length by Dr. Hoyt, Mr. Lef evre, Dr.
Girardeau, and others. The question
came up upon the inquiry as to whether
go6d and sufficient consequences from
the,Word of God are equal authority
with the law of God, and whether this
principle is to be applied to the laws tf
the General Assembly?
CHBISTIAN greeting.
;Dr. Jdseph R. Wilson, stated clerk,
laid before the General Assembly a
telegram from the convention of the
Young Men's Christian Association of
the United States and the British Pro
vinces, now in session at Cleveland,
Ohio,' sending Christian greeting, &c.,
which, on motion of Dr. Lef evre, was
referred to the committee on foreign
correspondence. A proper reply was
sent.
' BEFOB3IED CHURCH OF AMERICA. i
' Dr.. Wilson also, laid before the body
a letter from Rev. W. C. Handy, of the
Reformed Church of America, who had
been appointed a delegate to this Gen
eral Assembly, but who had been pie
vented from attending, &c, who urges
that" the delegate from this General As
sembly will attend the meeting of Xhe
Synod of which he is a member, which
meets in Hudson, N. Y., June 1st. Re
ferred to the committee on foreign cor
respondence. STATE OF THE CHUCH.
Rev. J. R. Quarles, from the commit
tee on narrative, presented a report
giving n account of the state ,of .reli
gion jwithin the bounds of the General
Assembly. 'The report says f' "Looking
over the entire territory, and observing
its hills and valleys, it is noticeable that
the' highest points where the sun ' of
prosperity is most fully seen, are upon
the Atlantic seaboard in the Synods of
Virginia, North Carolina, South Caro
lina, and Georgia. In these parts of
the field the work appears encouraging
ly prosperous. In the Synods of Mem
phis, Nashville, Kentucky, Alabama,
Mississippi, Missouri and Arkansas,
the hill tops are not so high and the
valleys seem somewhat deeper; and
yet the view upon the whole has more
of light than of shadow. We enter the
low grounds of weakness and need as
we go into the Synod of Texas. Here
the shadows seem to prevail, and God's
people find their faith somewhat sorely
triea. Texas is a mignty empire m
Srospect, but our people within its bor
ers are but a feeble folk. Following
the points upon which; the Assembly
has asked information the committee
find:
1. That there is a record of official
fidelity sent up from all parts of the
church. Many of the reports empha
size the zeal, the self-denial, and the
faithfulness of the ministry. Some of
them complain of the right of the pas
toral duty of visiting on the part of the
ruling elders.' A few declare that the
office of deacon is not filled in some of
the churches, while others lament that
their deacons are not alive to the im
portance of their work.
2. As to an attendance upon the ordi
nances bt God's bouse, and an apprecia
tion of them, the testimony is substan
tially unanimous that the condition is
decidedly, encouraging.
3. Not many of our Presbyteries, and
but few-of our churches have been
Xisittdbv special outpourings of the
spirit of Conversion. The church; at
Fulton, Mo., has probably ? been mote
highly honored in this respect than any
ot her. Ii ut the majority of the reports
indicate that the spirit has-been present,

of the situation is the general report of
the neglect of family 'worship, Tne,

Bccoraing tooar ideas, desecrated jcy
the government, by common' carriers,
and by worldly men, is , a fact too well
known. It is, however, pleasant to
know that in the general community
and in the church the reports show a
healthier sentiment and a correspond
ingly better practice.
8. In worshippinz God with their
substancethe reports, almost without
exception, snow an increased ana grow
ing ndelityum the part of God's people.
9. Except in Texas, from a few weak
Presbyteries elsewhere, the , reports
would indicate that our fields are well
supplied wjth spiritual husbandmen
ia The colored population seems to
have passed, for the present at least,
our reach. They prefer their own
preachers and services. In some sec
tions they are reached' by Sunday
schools; in a few cases we have colored
churches. But it is manifest that we
can influence them now only by help
ing to train their ministers.
Surveying the whole field, say the
committee, we have reason to thank
God and take courage for another year
of more faithful work.
Adopted.

largely to-this-worfe -Mr.
W. L. Kennedy from Texas, urged

Results of Genlcu.
The artist who drew the graphic pic
ture representing a woman in the act
of leaping from a high bridge, which
has decorated all the dead walls of the
city for the past two weeks, must find
a melancholy satisfaction in reflecting
that his work has caused two young
women to attempt suicide in the same
way, and that one of them was success
ful. Genius is always flattered by ap
preciation, and the more vigorously ex
pressed the better.

If the crabbed oM batchelor, who uttered this

wisdom In selecting Hop Bitters as the best, and
