RELIGIOUS NOTES. About 'l'lit* Cliurelies. The Refo r ined Presbyterians hav» been in a controversy for some time on the question of ordaining eleacon ess* s. The ejuestiou recently came before the Synod, and it decided b\ a v-re of 03 to that the ordination of a woman as deacon is in harmony with the New Testament and the constitution of the apostolic Church. —St. Louis Presbyterian. Not only has Mr. Spurgeon with drawn from the London Baptist As sociation. but his church has taken the same step. Mr. Spurgeon says: "The pastor and the Church of the Tabernacle are now free from all hampering connections with unions and associations, bat by no means without communion of the warmest kind with the Lord's faithful people. ' —Central Methodist. There are some who imagine that the leading branches of Methodism in England and the TTiited States are gradually coming nearer to the Anglican and the Protestant Episco pal Churches, and that there is hope of the ultimate union of these Churches. This prophecy is born of the desire for its fulfillment. The Methodists of the world were never more distinctively Methodists than they are now, and never had less dis position to allow themselves to be absorbed by any other Church.— \\ estern Christian Advocate. We want to wipe out the saloon as soon as possible. In order to do that we want a temperance platform broad enough for all its antagonists. It is not necessar? to cross oft' the Catholic societies, or the sober Ger mans. any more than it is the cranks who kick the Bible out of their way. Each can bring his plank to that end ot the hall and lay it upon the trest les, alongside the others. If some want to put their boards a step or two higher than others, there is no objection to that. It would make a good appearance, and some might learn a song of degress as tliev as cended to higher ground But for a beginning, in whatever way the sa- O' n is Hosed, we rejoice and will rejoice N \\ .

MISCELLANEOUS. YI:U,INIA DARI:. The Momatitie btory of Hit- I Irst Vmeriean ;irl Ilaby. Roane> ke Island was in sight as justice had been done to the baked shad at.el other delicacies, ami the etptaui was reminded that he still had to tell *he storv of Virtfinia Dare, says a letter to the New Yoru Times. "That's where the first white child was born in America, said Captain South 4ate, pointing to the crescent shaped, low lying islt 1 ml the Mantee) was approaching. "What was her name, captain? inquired the curious passengers. "\irginia Dare,' was the captain's reply. There were loud calls for the story, and as there was time, the cap tain span it. Regarding the exact date of Virginia Dale's birth the captain admitted that he was m doubt, but it happened so long ago that it was a matter of minor impor tance. She was born on Roanoke Island, and she grew into a very lovely and blooming maiden. White men and reel men from far and near heard of the beauty of \ irginia Dare and came to lay themselves and their possessions at her feet. To all of them she turned a deaf ear. Sud denly she disappeared. Search was made all over Roanoke Island and the aeljoiniug mainland, but to no purpose; not a trace of Virginia Dare could be discovered. There were many deer on Roanoke Island, and hunters noticed about the time \ irginia Dare disappeared that one of the largest herds was always led by a beautiful snow-white doe. Many attempts were made to shoot this white doe, but with so little success that its wonderful sagacity and lleet ness of foot were soon heralded for miles around. Noted hunters visited the island for the sole purpose of killing the white doe, but went awav disappointed. One day an old Indian wandered into the white man's settlement. lie had liveel all his life e>n the island and knew every foe>t of it. Hael he ever seen the snow-white doe ? A siugle grunt elenoted that he had. Under the influence of frequent and heavy potations the ancient red man became in his silent way loquacious. The white doe could only be killed by a most skilful shot with a silver bullet. This information was dis patched to Jamestown ami the most noted hunter m Virginia came te> Roanoke Island in response. A grand hunting party was formed. The grand hunter loaded his smooth bore with a silver bullet and took his station at a point which the herd of deer would pass m its tlight from the re>t of the party. In good time the hunter heard the Hying deer ap proaching. He got ready, and when the white doe shot past him a hun dred yards in advance of the herd he tired. The white doe simply in cre>a-ed her pace, ami when the rest of the hunting party leached the spot where the great hunter fctood. he \\a* compelled to acknowledge his failure. He returned to his home but promised to return and try again. He was as good as his w-id. Ag*in he loaded hi-gun with a silver bullet and took his station, while the other hunters scatteied to !i>.?over and drive the game in the right direction. For a second time the great hunter took careful aim a the white d e appeared. leading the •herd. As the sound of the -hot rung through th-* woo.ls the white «loe took a tremendous bound and then pillowed its head on the moss coveied root.*> of a giant pine, Hie Silver bullet Lad struck it in the iif-ait The great hunter waited for iii- .npanions. He w.l? posses>e,l of a strange foreboding. In a l»od\ the hunting party approached the -pot «h. re the owner of the silver buUt t had seen the white doe fail. In its place tbey found.the body o* Virginia Dare. .Burlington, (Wis.) Republican. A Very Contented Man.
