Tho Rev. Hugh O. Pentecost, of the Marcy avenuo Baptist Church, officiated, assisted by tho Rev, Dr. John A.Lanslng. Ths wedding waa a great affair, Invitations having been addressed failed, tnd that npon dlseoverlng that fact, I would, feel ashamed of asking suoh a question.

Mow, I an never ashamed ot asking a qaestlon for Information but I would feel very muoh ashamed, indeed, to give en on an evasive answer to so simple a question. Xt would have been far mar creditable to Mr. Furbish either to have maintained hia former discreet sllonoe, or to have candidly confeisod tbat he never kneit ot such a case. Indeed, bis mode of answering my simple question, is the beat proof tbat ho knows ot no Instance where a national bank lnolndlD the Meohea ioi Bank of Newark, if It bo a national Ssuk'ttid hia circulation baa refused to redeem its notes fn spado ror although Mr. Furbish would insinuate it he does) not vontuto to say ao.

But oven supposing that any Ignorant noteholder should get Beared about his note, and on presenting It at the oounter of that bank supposing as I before said, that it is a national bank wu refused payment, ha need only go to tbe next bank or store, to get it cashed at tha rate of 100 cents to ttj. dollar; and if Mr. Furbish Is fortunate. enough hold some ot them, he need not go. outside of Groan point in ordor to get their full face' VIUe 'tpeotik Ho should know tbat the chief excellenoa of onr present system is tbat although the depositors may suffer through the failure of a national tha holders ef Its notes cannot possibly lose a sent, as tha Government holds ample seonrlty tor their redemption.

While on this subject, want to call attention to the fact that, during tbe great panto of there were none of the notes issued by what were called tree banks which wero organised on a similar plan with our present national bank! tha former being aeoured by State and the latter by United BUtei bonds), whteb, depreciated a alngle cent Ae to the panlo Of ISTK. since tbat occurred more that five years before the Re umpUon aot went Into operation, I hope Mr. Furbish will pardon my stupidity when I say that I do not nay derstand how the national banks thon exlitlng could suspend speolo payments (the only kind of suspension that we are discussing) when they had not at yet even begun. As to Mr, Furblsh'B Involuntary point, upon which be lays so mush stress, although I fall to Bee what pertinency it has to tbe point at Issue, namely, tbo.ablllty of the banks and tho Treasury to redeem their notes; yet I am certain that If he would make farther Inquiry among tbe butchers and bakers and oandlettlok makere be woul, find out tbat the wry facet whioh fck aaerlbes to them at being compelled to take tha spaite based on national bank notes and greenbacks Instead of fiat money, are only the phantoms of his excited imagination, None of them would objeot to somo more of the same kind or physio, while bo far aa tbo greenbacks are concerned he aeema to be Inconsistent when he says In another plase that they command a premium over gold. How oculd they oommand a pro mium If the people did not prefer them I must oCa elude by eaylng that it Mr.

whether occasional or professional as wsll as to that dally growing class of studious readers whoso nam in this oountry at all events Is already 'legion," thla work will prove of great uae by saving them the trouble of searching for the desired lnformtlon themselves, it is a' most usefn) companion to the library, as well as a mu( tum in porno, both by the reflections It suggests and tha Information It contains. At the same time the author has scarcely boon loflical in his method, for be has la Beveral Instances given the names ot books, some ot them of little" value among" the pieudonynu of authors, and In several othor oasea ba has given the Initials of writers who beyond a very limited oirolo havo scarcely been heard of. For nndor ons finds "Vivian Grey (author of) Ht Hon.

Malaprop would oall a "nlco derangement of epitaphs" to insert here and there In a catalogue of literary pseudonyms some work of a well known author who hag written a score. Under Initials also It maybe tbat Matthew Arnold alone has an uuohalleuged right' to the first letter of tha alphabet; but when we come to "11. E. and find Cardinal Henry Edward Mannlug In aole possession, and U. assigned exclusively to tho laU William Upton Richards, a London clergyman, whom probably very few persona beside some obscure ritnalist ever heard of, and who never wrote anything except, perhaps, an occasional we cannot help wondering why J.

Is not found for Fronde, the historian, and 0, for Charles Klngeloy, Ihe mere initiol lettere of a man, howovor well known, are sorely not his nom de plume or litorary pseudonym. And why Is one great unknown selected instead of others who nave at least some claim. However, theao are faults which while they show a faulty arrangement do not invalidate tbe book's claim to usof ulnoss. It is no bad companion by the Winter's fire, even If one turn over its pages without any definite object. For, first of all, one sees under initials and pseudonyms tho old familiar faces thoso whom one has personally known or whose writings have inado them companions of our solitude, or friends of our fireside.

Here, for Instance, la Ella," whose essays delighted a generation as those in the Spectator" did an earlier ono. Who cannot spend an hour of not unprofitable roverla before the evening firo in recalling the kindly genius and tho qnalut identity of "gentle OhsrloB Lamb?" Then, as quite a contrast to Lamb, let us turn to "Arlatarohus New light," who first proved to us that no suoh person as Napoleon Bonaparte ever exisieo, ano. oeiorc we uuu well found out tho JeBt astonished us with "aistorio Certalnltos" about America which made us wish that Whotely and hlB Login were annihilated togethor. Witty, indeed, was the eccentric Archbishop, but fierce in scorn of others, and one with whom, in Bplte of his many generous qualities, it was not oasy to gat along, If you ventured to differ from him, Tnen turn to ine "Country Parson," not tho only one, by the way, ror there are several beside the always entertaining Andrew K. H.

Boyd. His "Bocreatlons" have reoruated many a weary mind. And hare Is our old friend "Cornelius O'Dowd," the inexhaustible Charles Lever, whose death left vacant the honor ot being the oniel ol Irish novellBta. "The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table" recalls the pleasant hours which Oliver Wendoll Holmes has given Indeed, one almost regrets at times that those whom we have learned to lovo as' "Box," or "Miobael Angelo TItmarah," should step from behind tha pleasant curtains as Charles Dickens or William Makopoace Thack eray. "Geouroy urayon" win always do inn uuiuo uj which our first delightful intimaoy with Washington Irviug will be remembered.

Sometimos tbe illusion never dispelled to the vast majority of an author's clientage. Of those who read with delight tho atories of Omda," how tow comparatively know that the author's namo 1b Louisa de la llama. Perhaps of all periodicals Blackwood has been rlohest in pseudonymous authorship. In "Oliver York" we have the witty Dr. William Maginn In "Father Prout" the learned and delightful Francis Maboney; In "Christopher Nortb," the exuberant John Wilaon, and so on.

But our own dally and weekly journals have been prolific of pseudonymous wits and oritios, etory writers and poets, who have made their mark during their tlmo, even if tboy have not aobieved literary immortality. Their names and pseudonyms will readily ocour to the reador, whether they be living or dead, from Artcmu6 Ward, who took the name of a revolutionary hero, with only tho chauge of vowol, down to Mark Twain, who survives as tha moat suoceasful, at loaat in a financial point of view, of all newspaper wits. The Eagle, during its proBout editorship, haB had its score of wits and letter writers who have deserved all the famo tbat tiioir pseudonyms havo brought them. Anonymous writers Blind at a groat disadvantage bosido those who have prudently adopted iu their early days a nom fc plume and have resolutely etuck to It Tho man who rneroly writes without elgn manual of any kind shuts himself out from literary reputation, because except to tbo limited circle of hie personal friends his best writings are but putative and fugitive, and havo no acknowledged parentage, Moro over, in these days of universal authorship, when Btealinn is so barefaced, an anonymous writer would find It hard to establish his claim to bo the author of his own productions. But an acknowledged and well known pseudonym is a protection to him.

It Is his trade mark. Ha has the right of an Inventor and patentee to it Happy tho aoribo who at tbe outset of his journalistic caroor has ohrlsteued himself with a now name apart from fho paternal Brown or Itoblnaon, and as "Doeatloka" or Artemus beguiled the tragicomedy of life. Iu the columns of the Eagle it would not be jnodeat to institute in type a symposium pf those paeudony mous wrlterB who are yet alive. Otherwise one who has nover ohauged his commonplaoe patronymlo, and whose browa remain therefore still uncrowned with, laurela, would gladly place here hia good friend "Orlspua" and the kindly "Seacoal'' whoao pseudonym, however, 19 somewhat painful at the present pneo and quality of coal In Brooklyn "fortsmqut aytin.orleitquecCloantlMm." Gladly; too, would he, bear witness to the love of paradox which led a plouB writer for tha Eaolk in former days, aud sometimes in those, to dub himself "Dead Beat." Let not the amiable J. H.

take offense if we venture to suggest that there are others in tho Eaolk office whose modesty perhaps prevents their challenglug his title, but whose claims to it are oertalnly not Inferior to his own. Our genial brothers or the quill must be content with tho future obituary notica the Eaole will lavish on their names, and with the tact that their namea are writ large in the manual of literary pseudonyms before ua. But of pt wits and worthies who have adorned the columns of the Eaole and diffused pleasant laughter la tbe homes of Brooklyn in the days gone by, It Is not forblddon ua to speak. Turning to 0 in this book wa come to "Oorry O'Lanue," John Stanton, who so long amnsed the publio with hia Saturday evening letter. Hia friend O'Pake, also, has joined him in the land where, if there la no merriment, thore are at leaat no eareB.

But very pleasant to the memory aro the elxteen years ago when Corry O'LanuB told us of hia wife's new bonnet, and of the young Themiatoolea and of Clorlde O'Llmo, and above all of the bibulous C'Pake, In one number of the Eaolb we remember that Corry's weekly letter anuounood tho conversion of O'Pako, and thore was great joy among tha Methodists of Brooklyn when they read Brethren, rejoioe Iho hour Is coma When einnors vile forsake their rum With songa of praise tbo eohoes wake For a rescued brother, Miioe O'Pake, In looking over theso "Psoudonyma of Author! one ia struck with tbe happy thought whioh enabled somo at once to Belza on a euphonious and suggestive pseudonym and at the pauolty of imagination which tho majority seem to display in their seleotlon. Indeed, with many the pseudonym Is a mere aliat, ai senseless andfeebloaa tbe original name. Why thla plethora of EdwardB and Henrye and Jameses 1 Is it any literary advantage for John Jackson to. lign himself James Thompson Wo cannot Bee it. But ot eome pBeudonyma it may truly be said that they havo shaken the world ot mlhd.

When Adam Bode, by Goorgo Eliot, oame out a new intellectual era a's stories was begun. When Waverly hid thegreat Sir Walter tbe English speaking world oame into an' Intellectual fortune, Nor must Ourrer Bell and her gifted aleters Acton and Ellis Bell be forgotten, of whom Mrs. Laura 0. Holloway has lately written bo pleasantly. A name I What's in a namo Why, a very great deal, especially if ths name be a literary pseudonym of otte'e own choosing.

Therefore, let tho neophyte of letters "woo the moment of Inspiration when tho Muses shall light np hia Imagination with eome name fit for live, auch as the brain of Dickens was so ertllo to Invent when he gave us the; Cheery bles, and Plckwiok, Snodgrass and Winkle, the immortal Micawber, David Copparfleld, Joe Gargory, the yonng man by tho name of Gnppy, and tho aevere hut admirable Mra.

Houghton, uinun at publishers.

New York. The "Hodee'of a Merchant Prloavs'' is ths title of a novel of New Yorff, tha author Whether it is noeVo long lacked for we leave the readers to say but that it Is. full of lnoldent aranhically oresitoa, that the craraotera arsi. "lilo and tbe plot intettthg plain to ahjon'o. who spends the time to glance at almost any one ox tne many short chapters of the uoox.

Swsyno, ol Fulton attm. kaek Ji During the period above, lnaioawa, mo usiw the BstabUsnieht railed over amaU nm lit comparison with the inmi railed by tho other but really Urge and indicating pro greet aa compared with It own Bait, It i not atl to Imagined that the Ohuroh of the Establishment has during all these years been standing it'll. Far from It wai undoubtedly grlevionsly lhattored by the disruption.

The old national temple, ao to speak, was ruins, tts walls woro laid prostrate. But It had too many advantages to remiln lonflnintateof decay. was still the National Ohuroh. It had Us endowments, its glebes, Its welt appointed ohurohes. It offered to the olergy better salaries than the other ohurcheej and It offered to the people reiiglort rlvr lieges free of all cost It was noi possible that a ohureh oiro'umstan'ood should not revlvi.

It has revived andit hae fer year's paet been really to flourishing condition. At the disruption, and for long afterward, those who remained behind la the Establishment, the Besldnarles, as they were jailed, were muoh despised. The odium attaehod oblsfly to tho elergy but this they have long elnce outlived. It la olalined for tho Estab lisbmdut that it has ohurohes and preaohlng stations, and that It is the ehuroh of one half of the entire population. The latter olalm, however, oannot be conceded, except upon the principle that every Sootsmen, like evry Bngllshman, unless he belongs to lome other body of Christians, Is the property, rellglouily, of the Establishment From thla statement of the oase it will bo soen that Dlesetvt has really triumphed.

In spite of the rooovery of tho Establishment, It has the strength of tho piople or tho land on Its sldo. It has wealth, numbers, energy, right aU fighting with It and for it All the mighty moral force that comes from a sense of fair play is with Dlsiont and against the Establishment, It is not wonderful that because It feels Its strength, la face of what It thinks a great wrong, It should call for disestablishment THB ABOLITION 01? THB LAW OF PATBONAGB. To many persons it seems strange tbat the cry against the Establishment should all of a sudden have become so fierce. The evil ia not new. It Is not worse to day than It wa at the disruption, or than It has been any time sinoe; Why ao long allent? Why so fierce the call for disestablishment now The answer Is not far to seek.

It has boon already enown mat tne ma ruptlon was a viotory for the general cause of Dissent It was at once a justification and a triumph of the pnuoiplos of tho first seoeders, who, although not with tbe State Church at first, hod long since become so. It was not possible, however, for them alone to attack tbe Establishment with any proapeot of sttooess. With the help of the Free. Church they might auo ooed. Unhappily, however, the Vtw Ohuroh olergy and people were voluntaries only by neoessily, and not from principle, and opposed to the Stato or Established Churoh not because it was a State or Established Churoh, but because it was not the kind of State or Kstabllshed Ohuroh which thoy liked.

It was their hope and desire yet to return to an establishment purged of Its error, where the poople's rights were intaot and where the known rights of the Bedeemor were untarnished and untouched. This is suffloieut to explain why the disestablishment question did not acquire importance immediately after the disruption. Why it has acquired importance in these later years admits of equally eaay oxplonatlon, It bad long baou apparent, as the reader of thla article must have become already, convinced. Hint the root causa of ProBbvtcrlal hitherto had been tha Law of Patronage, So long aa this law remained in force the Church was liable to further trouble and further division. So long ae this law remained in force the non established or free ohurcheB would raise the fluger of scorn, and potut to tbo Establishment as ridden Church.

So loug as this law romalned in force there was reason to dread tho opposition of tiie non established bodies, and all the more so that tbey oonld count with oonfldenoa on the oupport to be derived from the increasing influence in the community of Roman Catholios, who subsisted on the voluntary prinoiple ef Independents, Methodists, Baptlats and others. If, however, the Law of Patronage could be got rid of, then the prinolpal objection to the Established Ohuroh would oease to exist. It would be the freest of all free churches. Church accommodations would be froo. Preaching would bolreo.

To members and adborenta of the Established religious ordinances and privileges generally would cost nothing. This, however, would not be alL In addition, there would bo the inestimable privilege of free popnlar eleotlon. Tho minister would be the people's, not the patron's choice. Such a ohuroh could not but prove attractive to clergy and people. It would put the non established churches on tho wrong side.

It would take the feet, eo to speak, away from the Free and United Presbyterians. It would rob Voluntary Ism, in faot, of its distinctive and distinguishing excellence. It was at muoh cost and saorlfico that the Voluntary churches onjoyed freedom. Without momy and without prioe freedom would henceforth be the property of the Establishment So reasoned tho late Dr. Norman MacLeod and otbors.

Why not make the attempt? There was no reason to fear ths influence of the DlBientara. It was a movement whioh oonld not please them; but they dnvst not oppose ft. There was reason to hope that the patrons would not be unwilling to give up tholr rights. Tbe attempt was made and was emphatically euocossful. In 1874 Patronage was abolished, and slnoo that date the Established Church of Scotland has really boon a free ohurob.

It Is not wonderful that lu auch clroumstauces tho non established ohurohes should be alive to tbe new position, reluctantly at least, in whioh they find themselves, The doors of the Establishment are virtually open to the people of the land, and the olergy of the two great dissenting parties are eligible to its pulpits. But the fevore have not been aeoptad. Nor oan they. The action of the Establishment people was regarded at the time as sharp practice. It Is so re garded atill.

It was the abolition of the Law of Pat unit tha Bdvantafres which SUCll abolition ecnred to the Established and converted the Free Church people. They see evil and' evil only in We KKtaousnmem nu ur. Balny and his friend of the Free Church are even more loud, fierce and uncompromising than Dr. Oorwiu, Dr. Hntton, or Dr.

Caldorwood, of the United Presbyterian Church. Frees and U. Pa are now united, aud tholr demand ia tbafcao Scotland ib no longer a nnlt 'eooleei astlcally, a national chnren in tho true soneo la lmpao slbhV; that as the present State Church, intended for tho nation and supported by national funds, exlsts.for tbe benefit of only a few, it is a palpable wrong, and that as suoh it oUght to be abolisbed. Tbe reader ia now in a position to understand not only the nature of the controversy, but wby it is that It has assumed, latterly, suoh proportions and acquired anon importance. Disestablishment ia tbe Soottisb politioal question ot the hour.

THE OOMIKO CONTEST. It has already been msntlonod that the Dlsientera are united and well orgaulrod, aud that they are resolute for tho fight Notblnt will ever satisfy them but disestablishment A bill providing for disestablishment, as has also been shown, has for some time been in readiuess, and in the hands of a competent member of tho House of CommoiiH and a pronounced aud hereditary Dissenter. The Disestablishment party In Scotland can count with confidence on tho support of tho Liberation Socloty in England and all tho iuflnenoe it wields In Parliament The reador has already at the outset been made familiar with tbe Ohuroh Defenae Association, with its purpose and with its maohlnery. A great deal will depend on how this latter organization is worked. In the coming Spring Mr.

Dick Peddio will be heard in the Houeo of Commons. Tbe fight on a great national soale, will then be fairly begun. It would be strange It the fight did not prove to be bltior and prolonged. It Is safe almost to say that It will be ended without a general election; and the result of a general election is aa yet extremely doubtful. Scotland, since the passing ot tbe Reform bill of 1832.

has been pronouncedly and steadily Liberal; but many, very many Bootoh Liberals aro merely attached to the Established Churoh; and the question has yet to be determined how far or whether at all ecclesiastical professors will be allowed to interfere with political or politioal with ccoleslaetlcal. For the final wo wait. The confllot, however is in evitable; aud tbe objoot of tble artiole will have been accomplished If it shall make the coming confllot intelligible. DlBostabUabment might pave the way for a grander future union. In that case It would be a great gain.

INITIATED IS MASONRY. Tbe Bad Boy Giro Hia Father Royal Bumper Degree, the The Milwaukee Sun, wish ae and my chum had muzzled onr goat with a pillow. Pa would have enjoyed his besoming a member of onr lodge better. You see, pa had been telling how mueh good tbo Masons and Odd Follows did, and said we ought to try and grow up good eo we could jlne the lodges when we got big, and I asked pa If It would do any hurt for ub to hay a play lodge in my room and pretend to nlshlate, and pa said it wouldn't do any hurt Ha said It would Improve our minds and learn us to be men. bo my cbum and me borrled a goat thai lives in a livery stable, and carried him up to my roojn when pa and ma was out riding, iiut the goat blatted so We had to tie.

a handkerchief around bla nose, and his feet made such a nblsa on the floor thai we put'some baby's cocks on hia feet Well, sir, my chum add me practiced with that goat until he could butt a picture of a goat every Ume." We berried a bnok beer sign of a saloon man and hung on the baok of a ehair, anor tbe goat would hit it every time. That nlcht na wanted to know what we were doing uo In my room, and I told him wa were playing lodge and im I proving onr minds, and pa said tnct was right There was nothing did boys ol our age nan so uracil good aa to imitate mon, and store by useful nollldga. Then my onnm asked pa if he didn't want to eome up and take grand bumper degree, and pa laffed and said he didn't care if he did, just to encourage as boys ia Innocent pastime, that was so Improving to onr Intel. Wet. We had chut the goat up in a closet In my room, and he bad got over bis Matting, so we took off the hankerehlef, and he was eatlag some of my paper collars and skate ctrapj.

We went up stairs and told pa to come np pretty soon and give three diatlnet raps, and when we asked him who comes tbore he must eay ''a ptlg arua who wanta to Join your ancient order and ride tbe goat" Mb wanted to come up, too, but we told her if she oome In It would break np tho lodge, cauao woman couldn't keep a secret, and we didn't have any side saddle for the goat. Say, ef you never have tried it, the next time von nitlate a man In your Mason's lodge, yon sprinkle a little kyan pepper on the goats beard Just before yon turn him loose. Yon oan "ret three times aa much to the square lnsh of goat Yon wouldn't think It was the lame goat Well, we got all fixed and pa rapped, and wa let him In and told bim he must be blindfolded, and be got on his kuees a lafflog, and I tied a towel around his eyes, and then I turned him aronnd, and made him get down on his baud also, and then bis baok waa right toward the closet door, and I put the buck beer sign right against pa's elothec He was a lafflog all the time, and Bald we boys were full or fun aa tbey made 'em, aud we told him It was a solemn oooaslon, but wo wouldn't permit no levity, and If be didn't atop lafflog we couldn't give him the grand bumper degree. Then everything was ready, and my chum had his band on the oloset door, and some kyan pepper In bis other hand, end I asked pa, In low bass tones, if ho felt as though be wanted to turn back, or If he bad nerve onougb to go ahead aud take tbe degree. I warned him that it was nil or dangers, as the goat was loaded for beer, and told him he yet had time to retrace his stops If ho wanted.

He said he wanted the whole business, aud we could go aheacTwltu the menagerie. Then I said to pa that If he had decided to go ahesd.aud not blame us for the oonsoqueucea, to repeat after me the following "Bririir forth the roval bumDer. and let him bump!"

Thegreat body of the people ew Presbyterian, It just here, however, where the interest in the present situation oentere. People aro at a loss to understand why Scotland, which is believed to be Presbyterian to the backbone, should bo so anxlona to get rid.

of an Institution wnloh iB Presbyterian, whioa la national at least in lta views and isplrations, which, te inseparably Interwoven In her history, for whioh she has In the put made io many sacrifices, and of which she was for many generations so genorally and so Justly proud. What is the seorst or thla ohauga of feeling on the part of so many toward tho National Ohuroh The seoreta of the ohange the explanation of what to the etranger and the out Bide observer is a dlmoulty le to be found in the fact that Scottish Prenbyterlaulsui is no longer 5 unit. It Is a sense a house divided against Itself. BIVAL BEliIGIOTJH INSTITUTIONS. The opposition to tho Churoh of the Establishment comes not from the old EplBOopallans nor from the Congregatlonalists, nor from the Roman Catholics, a least, not to any great extent, but from tho Presbyterians themselros.

And why? Presbyterian Scot laud, as was said above, is no longer a unit. It Is certainly no longer a unit In the sense In wblob. onoe It was. In the cities aud larger towns, and ovon in eorue of the rural districts, the stranger may learn that he is in an Established ohuroh or In a Free ohuroh or in a United Presbyterian ohuroh but a prolonged sojourn in the country and much promisouous visitation of the churches and congregations will fail to onablo hlni to discover anv difference in tho teaching, mode of wpr sbin or in tho eeneral annoarince of things. But he will learn tbat one of those bodies represent tho old Presbyterian ohuroh of Scotland, aud that it enjoys all the privileges, immunities aud emolnmonte of a church by law established, having the distinction, bo side, of a national churoh.

He will learn that the other two Institutions, the Troo ohuroh and the United Prosbyierlan ohureh, with tho sstao dootrlno and the aamo government practically, except thlt they do not recognize State authority in matters ecclesiastical, aro Belt supporting, that thoy own and sustain their own rabrlcs, maintain their own ordinances, pay their own ministers and otherwise meet their own expenses and depend for their resources on the voluntary contributions of their people. Ho will learn tbat these two bodies have come to the conclusion that the maintenance of tbo Ohttroh of the Establishment, Is tho perpetuation of a wrong, and that lu their Judgment tho goverumeut Bhould interfere and make an end of this wrong. He will thus come to understand that amid much apparent unity, much outward resemblance, there ars radical differences dividing tho Prooby torlan ohnrohos In Sootland, and a little farther experience will teach him that there is justice In the complaint made by tbe two non endowed churches. HISTORY OF TUB DIFFICULTY THE LAW OT PA TKONAOK. It has bsen statad above in so many words, and it has heen lmplisd in all that has hitherto been advanced, tbat tbo Scottish Prosbyteriau Church was originally a unit, and was in reality as well as In name the ehureb of tbe nation.

As such It had special privileges aui endowments accorded to it by the State. Into a special consideration of tha advantages enjoyed by thla state church It is unnecessary hero to enter. It is enough to boar In mind that It was under the government protection, and that it had enjoyed government support. Provision was mdo by a tax on tho land and on borough property tor tho payment or the clergy, for the maintenance of ecclesiastical edifices and all related property, such as tho manses and glauoland, of tho investors. In Scotland, as in all othor couutrieB where there is a state or national church, the church is a national burden, but the uurden is not felt at least, is aot irksome, when the nation is of ono mind.

A nation haB a perfect right to tax itsolf for a national pur poBo; but when that purpose Is no longer national the tax which was originally just and fair beoomea a wrong. Such is the ooudiliou of Sootland to day. Her people complain that the nation Is burdened with the purposo of securing oortain ecclesiastical and religions advantages for the whole nation, but that these advantages are nowgivon only to a speoial and favored class; or rather that, in consequence of radical conditions, the majority or the nation can no longer accept them. How has all this come about? This question leads us to deal with the history of Dissent In Scotland, and to point out the origin of all tho evil the Law of Patronage. In 1707 Kngland and Scotland beoame one kingdom.

Among the provisions of tho Act of Union, and tho Uast important, was tbat which ratified the Confession of Faith, and sott ed tho Presbyterian form of church government. Iu 1712 an obnoxious aot was passed by tho British Parliament whioh restored to patrons tlio right of presentation to benefices a right of whieh they had boeu very justly deprlvod iu 1890. This continued to bo known as the Law of Patronage, and from first to last was a law in direct opposition to the sentiments and wishes of the Scottish poople, who hold It to bo a Gud given right to ohoose their own ministers. The enforcement of thla law immediately begot trouble In 1733 it had greatly divided the General Assembly, as well ao the country and in that yoar the two Ersklnes and their friends, robolllug against forced sotC nients, formed the Assooiate PreBbytery. Thla was the first secession.

In 1761 the enforcement of the same law led to resistance on tbe part of Bev. Thomas Gillespie, of Caruook. He woald not ordain a man against the will of the people; nti tMa tint nt i fthnll Inn Iia was danrlvnil of his of living. Gillosplo having boeu joined by a few other I in I eleruymon who valued liberty and the rights of tho people more than mere salary, and who had etrong convictions as to the crown rights of tho Redeemer rights whioh had not been, and whioh could not bo, transferred they organized the Presbytery or Relief. This was the second Beoeasion.

These repeated accessions had the effect of withdrawing largo numbers ol disufl'eoted spirits from the Established Ohuroh. The godly people of the laud flocked in increasing num hers to tbe Associate and Belief meeting houaea. The olergy or the celabll.hment had their fat savings for nothing. They were literally at ease in Zlon. As a consequence a long raign of moderation Bet in.

For years tho Moderates, aa they were called, had It all their own way In the Uautral Assembly of the church. But the evil workings of the Law of Patronage were ever and anon confronting them. Complainants began again to And sympathizers within the walla of the Assembly. The Liberals, or KvangoIfcalB, as thoy came to be distinctly named, gradually acquired strength, and in course of timo tbe long trampled upon minority was In tbo ascendant. It was then that tho famous Non iutruslou controversy began to rage in the Assembly and to divide the sympathies of the people.

Forced settlements were still the order of tho day. They wero opposed to tho will of tbe majority in the Assembly; but the minority had the civil power at its back. Patrons had tbe right to present, and it was the duty of tho Presbytery to or dsiu. Against this unrighteous state of things mon llko Dr. Andrew Thomeou, Dr.

Thomas Chalmers, Dr. Guthrie, Dr. Candliah, with the Buchanans, the Gibsons, the Beggs, and other or the bright lights in tbe national church raised their voices iu indignant protest; but for years Scottish eloquence seemed to thunder In vain. The crisis, however, camo at last. In the famous Strath box'ie case the end wae reaohed.

Only one parishioner signed the call of the patron's nominee, and the Presbytery ignoring the will ef tbe assembly nroooodsd with tbe ordination. The Presbytery wae sustained by the civil authority. Relief was demanded from government under threat of seooiBion but the govern ment of the day either wished, or failing to appreciate tbo danger to Its full intent, refused relief. Thou occurred one of those grand demonstrations which It rarely tails to tho lot of uatlous to make demonstrations which, when thoy are made, at ones reveal and constitute a nation's greatness. Rather than submit to have what thoy' regarded as the crown rights of the Redoemer trampled under foot, rather than yield up wbat they considered the divinely guaranteed rights of the people, or, In plainer languago still, rather than submit to the Law of Patronage, 170 ministers, with their eldore, on the 18th of May, 1813, marched out of tbe Assembly Hall and constituted themselves into the Free Church, choosing Dr.

Chalmers as their first moderator. It was a grand spectacle which was witnessed that day in the streets of the Scottish oapltal a. speotaola of which aujr notion might justly be croud. It had In it much of the heroic. It had also in it muoh' of the sad.

It brought tears to the eyes ot Btrong men, and it was indeed well fitted to melt to tenderness the hardest heart; Every one of those 470 olergynien had abandoned his home and his living. Tbe future before him aud hie was dark and nntried. It Is related of Lord Jeffrey, tho editor of the Edinburgh Review, who had not taken any particular personal interest In the struggle, that when from a window in High street he beheld tbe ranks of the retiring olergy as they moved toward their new quarters, in Tan Bold Hall, he exclaimed with tears in his eyes: "I have ever boon proud of my country, Iammora! proud of her now than ever. No other eountry in the world oould present suoh a speotaole. Scotland is this day worthy of bar own glorious past." This was the third ssoession and the grelteat of them all.

TRIUMPH OP DISSENT. Tho third er cession baa come to ba known generally by tbo name ot tbe disruption. It was very justly regarded at the time aa tho triumph of the principles for which tbe oarllor Dissenters contended. At tbat time and for some previous the General Assooiate Synod and the Synod of Uellef were negotiating with a view to union. A division in the ranks of tbe first Booeders which had lasted some seventy years, bad been healod previously and its far baok as 1820.

In 1847 the negotiations wero completed, and the ohurohes of the Associate Synod and tbe Synod ol Relief were united undor the uamo ot tho ''United Prosbyteriau Ohurcn," It was thought. that two suoh churches, so idontioal tn history and experience, aud both representing the demooratio and the voluutary principles, would not re main long apart, but would, on tbo contrary, naturally gravitate toward each othor. Certain theoretic differences have hitherto been strong onotigh to keep them apart Recent negotiations for union, which, for a time were promising euough, failed to lead to ouy practical result iu the direction intended; but they proved useful in bringing tho Icadors of the two bodies into oloser oontset, and the peoplj as well as the ministers Into closer sympathy. It is not necessary to our present purpose to go into details ehowlng how wonderfully the Free Churoh and the United Presbyterian Cbnrsh have continued to prosper. In tho larger towns and cities their ecclesiastical edifices, whioh are numerous, are ranked with their more famous pnblio buildings.

In the rural districts tholr ohurohes and ohapsls aro everywhere the rivals of the parish church. In 1870 the ranks of tbe Free Ohuroh were swelled by a union which Incorporated with" them the larger part of the old Ctmaroalans, tho oldest of. the dissenting bodies. The free church can boast of not fewer than 1,1110 congregations with well appointed places of worship and numerous pra'seUiug matlons, Xho minimum ltlpoud lor the clorgy la 13'l per aumtm. The.

United Presbyterian Church has some soren bandred congregations with equally well appointed places of meeting, the minimum salary ut the elergy being about the same, I in0 church has a well appointed theological iuoti tnte with a full staff u( professors in each of the three university towna, Klluiuirgli, Glasgow and Aberdeen. In 1881 2 In incoimof tho Free Churoh for all pur poses was Dm ins the same poriod the amount raised by tlm United Presbyterian Churoh was only slightly under tl) Those figures speak for themselves.

lflh A pnbllBbare. For sale by' Wi'W Swayne. Fulton Ole Bull was the gonluB In a'famlly ot ten ohlldren, whom ha was the eldest Hia father was a physician and apothecary in Bergen, as his father bad been before him. Hul mother wai a woman, or rennemenr ana oclil position, and the son Inherited from both parents their finest qualities. They were musical, and one of Mrs.

Bull'B brothers wis gifted In this direction. Tbe first plctar we havo of Ole In this charming biography In the role of a dliobedlent child, who, on "quartet" was several times discovered, "by an Involuntary movement, under the table or sofa, or behind a curtain, where, having orept from his bed, he had concealed himself for hours, only to bo Ignominiously cent back again, with a whipping for The discipline of that day must have been Btern, in deed, Beveral incidental allnilona ariuude to whippings he reoeived from his father, partloularly whon a little child, for giving some prohibited expression to his intense passion for music, He was whipped for getting np in tbe night and playing on his pretty, now violin, that had been given him, and he was whipped tor learning musio when he Bhould have been studying his books. When ha was five years old be had violin as yellow as a lemon" gtveh him by his ancle, and, to the surprise of the family, he played well on It from the first, though he had received no instruction. He would stand by his mother's knee, wo are told, while sho tuned the screws, which would not yield to hie little hand; and the tuning was not easily accomplished, sinoe his ear made him very orltjoal even at that age. Hia conception of muelo ardse partly from the tales his grandmother told him of the elves and gnomes with whioh the popnlar myths peopled forest and mountain.

He did not oonceive the music aa produced by players, but as proceeding from the Instruments played, Jubilating, triumphing, quarreling, fighting, with a lite of their own. Tho influence whioh the popular mtieie ind mythology must have had upon a sensitive and imaginative child like Ole Bull can hardly be understood by those who have been born aud bred in Englaud or America. "In mythology he had no peer In the school, and his imaginative, dreamy soul reveled in all the weird stories about Odin, Thor, Balder, Freya nd the whole race of gods, giants, elves and dwarfs that fill the old Valhalla of the Norsemen. He was never happier than when he could persuade bis grandmother to tell him strange ghost atories, and sing the wild songs of the peasantry. Tho oreative and imaginative ca3t of his mind also gave him a profound sympathy with nature, and ho was fortunate in having a home lu tho midst of grand scenery." At ten years of age be could play passageB whioh his teacher found it impossible to perform.

He would scream la the excess of his nervous agitation when compelled to work mechanically. he could hot make his instrument utter his thoughts to auit him he would, after patient trials, at last fling it away and be angry with it for many days. Then be would, perhaps, suddenly get up in the middle of the uight, seat himself at the open window, In his night dress at other times he would play almost incessantly tor daye togather, hardly eating or sleeping In the meantime. Ole's father was a good amateur actor, and when he performed Ole played tho first violin in tbe orchestra. He was then 0 years of age.

Like a good many fathers, Mr, Bull did not think tbat he should permit his ohild to follow the career nature had mapped out for him and he desired that he ahonld prepare for the ministry. He Bent hie son to Christlenla to be examined for admission to the university. A young proressor of the university bad a quartet at his house the night before the examination, aud Ole was urged to take part in it They played all night and until seven o'clock iu the morning. At nine o'clock, almost unable to keop his eyea opon he went up for examination, and wan rejectod for the year. In deepest despair he went to the young professor who had been bis host tho night before, and was laughingly informed tbat It was the beat thing tbat could happen to him; he at once appointed him musical director of the Philharmonic and dramatic societies.

He thus almost immediately attained independence. His appoaranoe is described at that tlmo aa tall, somewhat overgrown, a sickly looking youth of nervous Irritability of temperament a modest young man, childlike, trusting and true. These latter characteristics be carried through life. Ambitious and eager to be a real musician, Olo was rostlesB and unhappy, and at last he threw up hia position and visited Louis Spohr. He wanted the verdict of a real master, the conseoratloa of the (ruo hfgh priest It was a long and weary road that Ole Bull followed before be oame to know himself, the naturo and limits of his own talont He gave concorts in Bergen and other places in Norway, and struggled 9 best he conld to aeoure the position ho afterward secured.

In 1831 he went to Paris and there he was reduced to want. He was a stranger in that city just after the revolution (of 1830), and durlug a time when tho oholera was raging there. Ho was swindled out of what money ho posaesaed, and but for the friendly eld of a ehauoo acquaintance he might have etarved to death. This person went his aeeurfty at a boarding house until he oould hear from home, Under the patronage of the Duke of Hontebello Olo Bull's first concert in Paris took place in April, 1832, and from that time fortune favored him. He was assisted at this entertalumaut by Ernst and Chopin.

Ha came to know tho latter intimately and thoy played often together in publio. and in private. George Sand, In her "Malgretout," has given a oharmlug. account or the effeot of O'e Bull'l playing at that porlod of hia life. While in Parle be met the beautiful girl Alexandrine Felicia Villemlnot, an orphan, who subsequently became bis wife.

Ole Bull went from PariB to Italy aud his success waa immense. He studied hard and profited by the criticisms made upon his playing. At Bologna, In an uuoxpeoted manner he won tho celebrity whioh waa ever afterward his. Hfs blozrspher thus describes the extraordinary way In which this occurred Madame Mallbran had bean ongaged by the direotori ot the theater for a Berle3 of nights but she had made a condition whioh oompollod thorn to give tbe uao ol tho theater without charge to DaBerlot, with whom she was to appear in two concorts. Zampleri seized the opportunity of persuading these artists to appear in a Philharmonic concert.

All was arranged and announced when, by ohance, Mallbran heard tbat DcBoriot waa to receive, in recognition oi nia servicea, a smaller sum than had been stipulated for herself. Piqued at this she sent word tbat she could not appear on account of Indisposition, and DoBorlot himself doolared that he was Buffering from a sprained thumb. Ball had now been a fortnight in Bologna. He occupied an upper room In a poor hotel, a sort of soldiers' barracks where he had been obliged to take temporary rofuge, because of tbe neglect of a friend to send him a money order. Secluded from society he spent the days in writing on bis concerts, aud when evening came, and the wonderful tones ot his violin sounded from the open windows, the people would assemble in tbe streets below to listen.

One evening the eolebrated Colbran (Rossini's first wife and a nativo of Bologna) waa passing Casa Soldatl and heard these strains. She paused. The sounds seemed to come from an Instrument she had never beard before. "It must bo a violin," Bhe said, "but a dlvino one, which will be a substitute for De Berlot and Mallbran. I must go and tell Zampleri." On the night of the ooooert, Ole Bull having retired very early on aocount of weariness, bad already boon in bed two hours, when he wae aroused by a rap on tbe door, aud tho exclamation, "Cospelto di Baeoo I Wbat stairs 1" It was Zampleri, the most eminent mti9lolan of tbe Italian nobility, a man known from Mount Cents to Cape Sportlvento.

He aske Ole Bull to improvise for him, then orios, "Mallbran may now have her headaches He must off to the theater at once with the young artist. There Is no time evon for ohange of dress, and the violinist Is hurried before a disappointed, but most distinguished audience The Grand Duke of Tuscany was there, and P. De Berlot, with bis haud in a clmg. It seemed to Olo Bull that he had been transported by magic, and at first that he could not meet tbe oold, critical exactions of the people before him, for he knew hie appearance was against him. and his uneasiness bad almost unnerved him.

He chose hia own composition, aud the very desperation of the moment whioh oompollod bim to ehut ni eyes and forget his surroundings, made him play with an abandon, an ecataey of feeling, which charmed and captivated his audience. As tbe curtain fell, and he almost swooned from exhaustion, the house shook, with reiterated When, after taking food and wine; he appeared with renewed Btrengtb and courage, he asked three ladles, whose cold, crWeal manner iad chilled him on his first entrance, for "themes to i.lmprovise upon. The wife of Prince Ponlatowsky gave him one from "Norma," and the ladles at her side one eaoh from the "Slego of Corinth" and "Bo meo and Juliet" His Improvisation, in which It had occurred to bim to write all these, melodies, renewed the excitement. The final pleca waa to be a violin solo. The director wasTloubtlnl of Olo Ball's strength, bat he stupped forth firmly, saying "I will play 1 Ob, you mast let me play and again the same unrestrained enthusiasm followed.

When he finished there was a rain of flowers, and he wai congratulated by Zampleri, DeBeriot and the prinolpal musicians present He was at onoe engaged for the following conoert and the assistance of the society waa offered for a concert of his own. One gentleman asked for sixty tickets, another for one hundred, and Smile Loup, the owner of a large theater tn Bologna, offered him his homo and orchestra free of expense. The wheal of fortune was turning In his favor; tbe worms were now weaving, bright threads In the wab of his life. He played at both oon oerts, waa.ao'odmpanlad to bis hotel'bya torchlight pro cosslon, aoade honorary member of the Phtlharmonlo gooroty and bis carriage drawn home by the populace. This waaOlo Brdl'a rcaldeotd.

Mallbran waa at first angry, bnt when aha had heard bim play she apologised to htm and afterward took a sincere Interest lu; him, Tho friars ot Santa, Maria Norello at Florence wanted aome music for their ohuroh and Ole Bull was commissioned to write it. They became muoh attached to him, and urged bim to join their order. Ole Boll composed "The Mother's Prayer" for them, but they wanted something moro cbeerf uL He gave a concert In Florence at the invitation of Prince Carlo Ponlatowsky, and he was after ward heard to eay frequently that from that oonoert in Florenoe dated hie confidence in. his own powers.

A Coming Politico EccleBiastical Con fliot in Scotland. The Church Defense Association The Secret of theCsntcnUon nivnl Religious Institutions. History of the Difficulty Trie Law of Patronage Triumph of Dissent Aholltlon si Patronage. What Is known as tha disestablishment con Iromu In Bcotlaurt ViaB assumed ubw phBo. Tho facte of tha HNmeDt soeiu to indicate that the Qght lo about to begin In real oaruaat The agitation BRoiiist ths Established Cbnroh has been ng "Ending.

Hitherto, howovor, it has been somewhat fitful, and the aottvity has all been on on aid. The Dissenters for many years havo seen what they have oonridored a national wrong In tbe oontlnued existence cf a church established by law, and austalnod at tbe national ox poms; and In various ways tboy have given expression to thlt feeling. Some twenty odd years ago tlio Voluntaries, consisting mainly of the clergy, membore and adherents or wbat ioealied tbe United Presbyterian Churoh, and of the Independent body orinod a sort of alllanoa with the Ami State Church party In Eng. land, through the liberation Socloty, and the English and Scottish winga have aotod together in Parliament when opportunity offered. Mr.

Gladstone was indebted to thla alliance wlion he was carrying through Parliament his famous measure for disestablishment In Ireland and it was quite natural that disestablish ment In Ireland Bhould intensify the way for dlsoBtab lishment In the sister kingdoms, Bpeolally In Scotland. Within the last few years the ranks of tho disestablishment party have boon swelled by the addition of largo numbers from the clergy and laity of tbe Free Obuvob. Thus strengthened, tbe opponent of the Statu Ohuroh In Sootland have become more aggressive. A bill pro Tiding for disestablishment has been for soma timo In the hands of Sir. Dtok Peddle, a prominont Edinburgh lawyer, and member for Kllmarnoek and the attached borough.

Tho IrlBh troubles and the consequent occupation of the House of Commons with Irish questions have necessitated delay In the introduction or ths measure. Now that thero soonis to bo an opportunity for the Imperial Parliament to recognize tho existence er other portions of the British Empire, it is under atood that Mr. Peddio will bring forward bis bill in tho Spring, or as soon after tho reassembling of the Houses possible. Tbe chnrcb people, who bavo all along been to all appearance singularly Indifferent to tne action of the opposite party have suddeuly given evidence that they nave become alive to tho danger which threat em tham, and that thoro is need for action prompt vigorous, concerted action. It is ro ttrmbered that at the last gonoral election and daring tho famous Midlothian campaign, Mr.

Glad itona was presses by the Liberals to glvo his opinion on' the Church question, and that his answer wa vary plain and very unmistakable. Mr. Gladstone stated then, as ho has uniformly stated since, that it was pre eminently a Scottish question, and one for the Scottish people th imselvea to consider and determine. If ths Scottish people want disestablishment it is tor i them to eay so; and thero is no ionsor any clouot in the public mind that It a strong majority of t'ru people should deolnre Si disestablishment, Mr. Gladstone would be found ou their side, and the auclont Scottish Church, with its spsoial privileges and Its parayherna lia its Lord llljjh ComuiisFionur and ltd Holyrood receptionswould be no more.

In these circumstances an attempt has been made on tho part of the friends of tbechnroh to organize and to defond tho ancient institution. THE CHURCH DrPKNOfi ASSOCIATION. During the course of last month the project for tho formation of a Church Defense Association was made public by moans of a circular signed by Principal Tal lock and some olhor loading mon connected wiih tho Established Cburcb. In tho circular churchmou wore re. minded that tho enemies of the church were thoiough organized, that thoy woro urging the conflict, and wero fully prepared for It.

It was thuir duty it tliuy would not be found unprepared and thus exposed to great wrong, to organize also. It was pro prosed to constitute a National Church Society scot land, with an organization coextensive with Ibat of the ohuroh and covering the whole country. The society was to bo organized on tho linos of tbe Presbyterian system, and was to bo thoroughly demoorotio in its character. Each of the church oourls was to have a counterpart in tho society, Thore Is a ra jular gradation ot eourUiu ths clmroh the Kirk Session (or parish court), the Presbytery, the Synod and the General Assembly. Corresponding with those there will bo In the society the section, the division, the provinco and the general eounolL The organizations, whilo oxaotly parallel, aro yet to be Independent, Tbe Bectioual council is to have no connection with tbe Kirk Session, excopt, ot course, that which may arise from Its accidentally consisting of the same members.

Tho divisional council will haw no connection with the Presbytery, nor tile provincial council with the Synod. This very elaborate and intricate machinery is to be set in motion by tbe session olerk In eaoh parish. Ilo Is to bo appealed to by a provisional committee, and is to be asked to call a meeting of tbo friends of the church tor the purpose of forming a section of the aoctcty. This section ib the broad popnlar basis upon which the wholo supor structaxe rests. Each section will elect a counoil or twelve.

These twelve will elect ouo of their number as preulueut. lull proiiifieubg ui mo aouwuuui lu a presbytery will form a divisional counoil. Eaoh divisional council will elect a president, and tho divisional presidents collectively snail constitute a provisional council co ordiuate with the Synod. The seotlonal and the divisional counoils will have administrative work to perform, but tho provincial councils will havo no duty but to elect the goneral couucll the supreme court of tho society. Eaoh province will elect ono representative to the general council, but theao representatives will constitute only one half of that council.

The democratic Idea, carefully followed op to this point, is now suddenly departed from. Each provincial representative Is to seloct froul tho goueral or the society an adjunct or assessor to himself, so that ths one half of the choral council will bo elected, and tbe other half will bo selected by tbo elected members. Tbe general council will be presided over by a genera! chairman of tho society, to be called the "Director," who will evideutly be intrusted with very extousivo powers. But tbo general council which la the result of this multiplied sifting is to meet only once a year. We havo not yet reached tbe kernel of thesysloin.

That is found at last in the "Permanent Committee of tbe General Council," which is to bo tbe executive of tbe society, and is to meet once a wcok at the headquarters of the 60doty wherever these may be fixed. It is of note, with regard to the con stitutlOD, that its ono point of contact with the oxlstlng church organization is iu the person of tbe seesion clerk. It is evident at a glance that the promoters have for their object tbe using of the organization of the ohuroh and its olflcials for politioal purposes. This change, In fact, has already been made and it was, no doubt, with a to auifcipate this objection that, while tho clerk waB to bo addressed officially by the provisional committoo, ho was to bo requested unofficially to undertake tbe work of organizing the society. Tho society was to depend for support on tbo voluntary principle, and was to bo worked by an army of secretaries and treasurers, general, divisional and seolional.

The objects of tbe society aro thus denned and summarized (a) By moans of lectures, distribution printed matter and other appropriate means, to supply full information on tbe principles and history of national religion. (b) By means of social and other meetings, to foster and Intensify a souso ot corporate unity among all hav ing.oominoiitviews as to national (c) To promote the election to parllamento' membera favorabta to tbe maintenance of national religion, Suoh Is the general scheme. An organization of such a character, if It i au be put Into effective operation, will wield an immense influence. Its obvious offect will be to constitute In every Presbytery and in every parish in the country a new electioneering committee, under the direction of the executive and director, who shall have bis headquarters In Edinburgh. It will, in fact, convert the entire Presbyterian system of tho Established Church into a huge political machine, and place the friends and defenders of tho church under the yoke of a sort of ecclesiastical caucus.

A meoting of gentlemen favorable to the movement has since been held in Free Mason's Sail, Edinburgh. It was noiicod that the more prominent leaders of the majority in the Assembly were conspicuous by their absence. The following resolutions wore adopted (1) That a society, to be entitled the National Cnnrcb Society of Scotland, shall be formed, aud the objects of the society shall be to supply Information on the principles and history of national religion and the true position of the Church of Sootland (2) That a committee ba appointed to set as the temporary council of the Bociety." Tbe oemmittee consists of twenty four members, luoludtug the Earl of SeaOold. Lord Balfour of Burleigh, Sir Alexander Klnlorii, Sir Robert Anatruther, Mr. A.

Cl jiboir, ai. Mr. A. Orr Ewlng, U. Mr.

Cocb ran Patrlck, M. Principal Tulloch, the Rev. Dr. Storey, etc The iStlinlntrnA Scorsman makes merry over the nicotine, and leads us to infer that the new soheme attempts too mueb. Thero Is a want of union In the camp, and tho meeting at Free Mason's Hall brosght to lighfvery distinctly tho faot that It would not be easy to convert tbo Eetabished Church iuto a politioal lnstltutiou a Tory political institution and that if aueb an arrangement were effeoted it would be misfortune to the church and its friends, and a corresponding botierit to the opposite side.

Itistbe opinion advanced by the Scotsman that Dr. Rainy, Dr. Cairns and tbo other kceu spirits of the Disestablishment party have reason to wish the new Church Defense scheme susoeaa, as It ocunot but work to their advantage. Thin, however, has yet to be seen. It is necessary to wait till the oampalgn Is fairly entored upon before pronounc (no flnai Indsmnnt.

This much, the movement in tho direction of organization In ttror of dsfenas has Already accomplished It baa shown tbat the frionds of the ohureh do not moau to allow their case to go by default, tbat they mean to make an appoaranoe and to fight, If need be. It la from this point of view that the general question. Is found to be of broader thin national interest 10 SRCKF.T OP THE CONTEKTION PBE8B TSMANIBM DIVIDED. It is not easy to understand the present controversy lu Scotland without a previous knowledge of the religious and ecclcidastleai condition of tbe country. Bootland, It ha been raid, is nothing not religions.

Of Sootland if may with equal propriety be said, alio is nothing if not Presbyterian. The country of John Knox haB, on tlio whole, and in the fase sometimes of 1 strong opposition and much temptation, been singular 1 faithful to the principles and polity which It has in. heriKd from the great reformer. Episcopacy has bad It's occasional triumphs since tbe time of the Reformation but tbe national liking for tho Presbjterlan form of church government nover lessoned and whon the pressure of government was removed, and the people were left reo to net for themselves, there was no room for the bishops. But it is unnecessary to go back to a too early period to arrive at a knowledge of tha eooleai aslloal condition of to day.

Let it be understood that Scotland, at the present moment, as at any time since the Reformation, eiocpt whan compelled to yield to the rial Theater. Ot his first concert thla description is given "The Empress, the imperial family and tne court were present On his entrance ho was wormly re ceived; the 'Polacoa3uerrIera, created tho groatest ohthusium. The applause constantly interrupted the orchestra, and the musicians were obliged to wait patiently tbo pleasure of the audience. This applause Ole Ball acknowledged, whan called before the curtain, by playing the Russian national hymn. This created another furort, and he was recalled again and again, the applause being led by the Imperial family." He played also in private for the Empress, who pre icntod him with a ring and an emerald In a letting of one hundred andforty diamonds.

The emperor aont him an autograph letter. The nobility made him many rloh gifts, and among others tho PrlucOM Gallltzlu gave bim a valuable ring. In Stockholm, an lnoldent ooourred which dlssover ed the eturdy independence of Ole Bull. Bernadotte, the King, gave him an audience and remarked that he had written to the Emperor of Busaia that ho, too, had his Poles, tho Norwegians, probably forgetting for the moment the nationality of his lUtener. Ole BuU replied with warmth; your majesty mention a single instance in whioh my countrymen have not proved themselves law abiding aud loyal subjects?" "Your remark, sir, is out of place." "If my romark la out of place, your majesty, I myself am out of will toke my leave," "Bomaiu, elr," cried Bernadotte, extending his hand with a' commanding gesture.

"No, sire; I will aeo if a Noreemanls free in iub palaces of tho King of Sweden 1" and the ortist bowed low as ha retired. Inatantly tbe oloud lifted, and, with a winning smile and courteous words, the King said: "I pray you, sir, to remain it is the duty of a prince to bear the opinions or all bla people. Before Ole Bull loft, Bernadotte offered him the Vasa order, which ho do cllned, eaylng that a handkerohlef or a button from his majesty's coat would be a precious tuemonto of thta visit, Whon tbe king found, tbat both ojx'erjndjowole were firmly declined, in parting with Ole Bun no him that at all times he would be admitted directly to bis preaonce, and concluded: "You will not raf uao I an old man's blosalng," which the violinist knelt to re ocive. After hia third continental toar, Olo Bull came to the United States in the fall ot 1843, landing in Boston and coming direotly to New York, Before him had come two great violinists, Vleuxtempl and Artot He was, however, soon a national favorite, and wherever he went he was warmly reoeived. Lydia Maria Child, who was at that time a New York oorioBpondent of tbe Boston Coitrisr, wrote extremely enthusiastic letters concerning him, in one of which she said: "His first orchestra were beside themselves with delight, and tho audienoe threw down their Instruments in ecotatlo wonder," From Now Orleans, in January of tbe following year, he wrote to bla wife I gave niy last concert in New Orleans for thla visit I was overwhelmed with bouquets of iowete." After a visit to Havana be returned vto Boston, by way of Richmond, and endeared himself to the people by his purity of life and noble merit, ub loss than by his great genius.

Margaret Fuller, like Alice and Phoobe Cary, and many other gifted women of this country, knew ahd appreciated bim, and she said of him "I am oxtreme ly happy in him. He ia one of my kin." Thon she goes on to tell of what he at the concerts Bhe attended, and closes hor letter descrlptivo of them with the characteristic remark I felt raited above all care, alt pain, all fear, and every taint of vulgarity was waBhed out of the world." Mrs. Child said of him, after hearing him at one of the list conoerts he gave iu New York "His visit baa done, and will do, more than any other oause to waken and extend a love of muslo throughout the country, and whore love exists It soon takes that form sclonoo. All things that are alive aro born of tho heart" At hie last concert he played a new composition, the "Memory of Washington," whioh was much liked. Wherever ho bad been in this oouutry ho had been received with more than and klndncsa.

He spoke of this in a letter to a frlond. in which he said "I havo been greatly benefited by my intercourse with noble aud distinguished mon aud womon here. My relation to the Americans is that of an adopted sou." For his two years' work in the United States ho received an Immenae sum of money, but his business flairs were loosely managed and he had often trnBted his funds in unsafe hands. Ho went to Paris from New York, where he met his wife and ohlldren, and in 1852 he returned to this oouutry and repeated the tri umphs. Amung other places he went to Lexington, Kentucky, and tho following uoto from Henry Clay was written him Lbxinotok.

MvDEABSin I am truly orry thift my bad cold, whioh tbe chauge of weather and the prospect of rain induce me to apprehend I might Increase by going out at night, deprives me or an opportunity ot v.itnusslng your performances, from which.

I made an unsuccessful effort to see you to day, but left no card. I hope to pay my respects to morrow, if you do not leave tho city before the afternoon. I am respectfully your obedient servaut, H.

Clat. Mr. Ole Bull, Ltzington. Ole Bull the next morning went to Ur. Clay's house, taking with bim his violin.

He went Into tbo room adjoining tbe one In Which Mr. Olay was seated, and played In a low tone great' statesman's melody, "The Last ItOBe of Mr, Olay'e intereel waa immediately aroused, and he asked if eome one was not playing in the As the air he re icoriod "Ah, tbat must' bo Ole Bull; no ono but he could pu the old familiar air In that manner." When the artist finished tho doors' were thrown open and they embraced. Ole Bull bought in Potter County, wblleln this oountry In 1852, a tract of 125,000 aores of IaOd, where he proposed to form a new Norway. Some three hundred bonsoa were built aud hundreds flocked to the new colony. Later he bought additional land.

Not being a man of business, the soheme was a mistake uuder any circumstances, and, as resullB proved, it waa a most unfortuuate undertaking. Olo BuU found out, after he had bought and paid for tbe land in full, that the title was found fraudulent, and that even the im provements he had made were a trespass on another man's property. The real owner, a Quaker, who was interested in Ole Bull's efforts and admired tbe sacrifices ho was making to help his conntrymen, offered to sell the land at a very low prlco, but tho duped artist bad lost so muoh money by the swindling agent that he only bought enough land to protect tho peoplo already settled thore and seouro tho Improvements. Ho became ill from overwork. With untiring energy, though his health was mueb broken by fever aud overwork, ho persevered with his lawsuits and auoceaded at last in wresting eome thousands of dollars from tbe man who had Dwindled bim.

Five hard, struggling years were spent in thlB way. The help and succor he raceivod, as often before, seemed providential. Tbe best legal talent oame to his aid unsought, and in one instance, at least, by a' strange impulse. Beading bis newspaper at the breakfast table one mornlug, Mr. E.

W. Stoughtou said to bis wife "I see that Ole Bull la in trouble and believe I'll go Into court this morning and find out about the oase," He had never met the violinist personally, but he went, and quito at the right moment to save some valuables and jewels, whioh would otherwise have been lost A llteloa friendship oommeneed tbat day, aud Ole Bull often ansnt weeks tosether with the Stougbtons. Iu their house be met, In tbe most delightful way, the eminent men of the Bench and Bar. Mr, utougnton's great and generous service to bim Ole BuU waB ever delighted to mention. In 1867 Ole Bull again visited Amerioa, and went direotly to the West.

Everywhere he waa reoeived with demonstrations of delight Again he returned here in 1807, to'play at the great Peace Jubilee in Bos ton, and the next year he returned once mora. In this year he was married again, his first wife having died In 1802. Iu 1872 Ole Bull bought a home In hie beloved LyaeklOBter Valley, in Norway, where he devoted, muoh time to adorning aud beautifying it When the weather grew cold in tbe Autumn days then oame the contrast of the coxy roome, brightly lighted, now no eajoyea in all I The muslo room, chaerful with wood fires and oandMea, while" too storm witbout promised seolnaloo, tempted' bim to do tho beat work, often far Into the night When the fire and candles had burned low, and the shadows seemed the intruding spirits of tho storm; then the notes would be thrown aside, and that wonderful instrument, a sod) in tho. hand of its master, would voice the tempest outside and the peace within. Never did the picture of him drawn by Longfellow in the "Tales of the iVayilde Inn" seem more strikingly true than in tbat room and at that hour Before the blazing fire of wood Erect the rapt musician stood And ever and anon he bent His head: upon his instrument And seemed to listen till be caught Conf eiaioos of its secret thought, The joy, the trtompb, the lament, The exultation and tbe patni Then, by.

the megio of hi art, He soothed the throbbing! of lta heart, And lulled It Into peace again. In 1879 Ole Boll ranted the Lowell mansion In Cambridge, and ipent the Winter quietly. He had left his Norwegian homo with regret, and he seemed anxious for rest and quiet ThiB Winter he celebrated his seventieth birthday, and attended tho celebration of the seventy. third anuiversiry of Mr. Longfellow's birth.

This was the last evening O10 Bull spent with the poet Late in June, 1880, with 4 pleseant party cf friends Ole Bull sailed for tho last time for Europe. Ho bad not been feeling well for a month before and tho sea voyage was looked forward to as likely to revive bim. He was violently iU during the passage and groat concern wae felt as to; his being able to bear the Journey to Norway. Ho insisted upon proceeding on his way and the trip across tbe North Sea accomplished, but at great risk. A physician accompanied him.

When tbo little fjord steamer came alongside to bear the invalid to his home he roused np and gazed lone: and earnestly on his beloved mountains. He died at the end of the Summer and the people of Norway grieved for ths man who had beoome, aa Bjornson laid of him" Tbe first and greatest festival in thta people's life, he gavo Belt respect, the greateit gift possible at that time. This is Ola Bull's undying honor, this tbe supreme accomplishment of his life." To Mrs. Boll'i touching biography ia added rn appendix containing Dr. A.

RAILWAY COMPENSATION, Toe Vncouatitutlanalltr of Assemblyman Earl's Hill. To the Editor oj the Brooklyn Kaglt: In your last evening's, paper you published in full a bill now pending before tho Legislature of this State which would be perfectly ludicrous were it net for tho faot that It deals with some ot tbo highest rights ot oltixena, and betraye an ignorance aud CHielessness in our legislators truly lamentable.

A more cursory glance at tho stolite will convince any one of its folly and Iniquity. Bootlon three, last clause, readB aa follows But no claim for damagee shall be formally determined until the railway or railways In question shall haro bsen In operation for a period of at leset oao yoar." This provision Is manifestly unconstitutional. The Constitution of this Stale, (Art 1, Seo, 6, laat clause) readB Nor ahall prl hn taken for nubile use without just compensation." Evon wheu the State has taken land for publio purposes direotly, it hai bjeu ropoat odly he'd that, aa Mliaillon preosiflent to. ha taking provision mutt oe mane bo mat tue owuer whoso property Is taken can enforce payment of the compensation without unreasonable dolay. If the law thus restricts the State In the exercise of its sovereign power, haw muoh more atrlotly will the rule be enforced if an attompt.BhouId be made to take the prop erty of a citizen for tbe benefltof private corporation which may or may not be substantial enough to meet fho demands for compensation, and which would undoubtedly become conveniently bankrupt before tbe expiration of tbe first year of lta eilstenoe Tho property la to be taken and no compensation gtven until the road haa been In operation one year it may be any number of years after tbe owuer 1b deprived of bio rights.

In cectlou thero is a provision that tho Board ot Assessors shall revise tbotr assessment rolls embraolng the property found to hava been damaged, and tbat they shall credit snob property with the taxes and assessments daa from It, and accruing, until tho whole amount ot taxes and assessments due and to become due from the same shall equal tbe amount awarded aa damages." Can thero be a more odious, tyrannical provision thau this First, you deprive a man of tbe enjoyment of his property for the benefit ot a corporation then you confiscate the compensation for tbe use of the municipal corporation. Taxes not yet due aro to ba paid. Thla amounts to nothing moro nor less than taking loroibly so muoh cash from tha Sockotofa oltlzen, and lo no more honorable than lghway robberv, pure and simple. Suoh a power should never ba exerolsed by a State except in a most despot ate crisis, when the oredlt of the Btate was entirely lost and all means of rescue had failed. Tho bill further provider, that all proporty benefited shall be reassessed and taxed to pay the damages lo the abutting owners.

This provision at first glance, seems but reasonable those that receive the benefit ahould most assuredly help bear the burden. But why make tho owners of real estate bear tbe entire burden 1 If we are to invoke tbfs Dcopfan theory let as be just to all. Hero arc the merchants In the benefited section by tho building' up of the surrrouuding neighborhood, you have doubled or trobled their business by all means tax them. By causing so much building you have created a domand for labor a mason who heretofore made 1 per day now reoolvea let us call on him for his contribution. And so wo might go on with the lumber merchant, the dealer In brloka, all of whom receive a muoh more appro olabla and substantial benefit than tbe owuer of real property.

Any benont tbat may uocrne to tbo neighborhood by tbe construction of a railroad is too Indirect aud dependent on too many intermediate causes to be accurately and justly dotermlued. The damage, however, la dlreot and easily ascertainable, Ae well might the builder, who builds houses of euoh character as to enhance tbe value of surrounding unimproved property, olalm that the ownereof the adjaoent lota Bhould reimburse bim for the money be bad expended. His claim would ba just at reasonable and well founded ae that of tbe corporation. But will thla provision of tbe statute stand the constitutional test Hera is a railroad corporation that is indebted to certain individuals for damages, Can the Stato take my money to pay the debt of the corporation That la 'not taxation, but confiscation. And now the crowning infamy of the Sixth seotlon has been wcli ahown byyouinyonr editorial.

The "Annual Expenditure for Expenses" Is alwavs equal to any surplus there might be In euoh oasea: Before the city would recelvo a cent we would see gold plated oara drawn by a allver plated enelne on a niokel plated atruoture. With all due respect for the "honorable member from Kinga" who Introduced tbis act iu the Legislature, I must say that It Is one of the moat stupidly villainous acta I have ever seen A. R. P. GREENBACKS.

Correspondent nik putingr Upon tlio Question of Flat Money. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Mgle The fact of my not having soen Mr. Ftir biBh's last oommuulcatlon to tha E.iotE, dated Srd Inst, until to day (13lb) mmst be my exouae for not bavlug given it earlier attention. Before commencing this reply I beg to aaauro Mr. Furbish that, in spite of hie not very complimentary allnalons to my "errors and misconception of what ho rathoi vaguely oalls well underatool facte," I harborno III feelings toward him jay only object being atill to ascertain the truth bnt I muet also observe that, with soneiblo people, the best way of commencing an argnment ic, not by assuming the Character both of disputant and of Judge at the same time.

Aa I before had occaeion to remind him, whether 1 have fallen Into errorc, or whether bla reasoning or mine is the more logloal, is for the publio and not for him to decide Aa to thoSB nice little hair enlittlna grammatical points, wbloh have no bearing on tbe main issue, and tn which I freely admit my Inferiority to Mr. ForblBb, I shall not tracpass on yoar valuable space by this discussion, but prooeed to tbe more material part of his reply. As tbe usual atratagom with tbe artful disputant, when be finds himself unable to meet hia opponent on the main point, la to endeavor to draw off attention from tbe original question and ehlft the discussion to some side Issue, so the belt way to expose the sophistry called by loglolans iqniralio elenehiit to re atato the original question. Now, it will Jbo remembered that the point whioh I made In my first article was tbat Mr. Fnrblab and otber Greenbackers were wrong in claiming tbat the national banks and tbe United Slatea Treasury, merely because they did not hold a dollar in pecla against every dollar of their circulation, were guilty of fraud In promising lo pay tbe bearer of their notes epeota on demand.

Now, it does not require a very logical mind to understand that if I could point out even one institution that did the some thtug, hut which yet neither Mr. Furbish nor any otber sensible man would call a fraud, I would hava established my point. But since I pointed out not ono bnt thousands of such instances, In tbe insurance companies both here aud in Europe, I need not really havo gone any further. Mr. Furbish having admitted that tbey did not hold anything like dollar for dollar, and yet tbat they could not be accused of fraud, ongbt properly to have closed tbe argument.

In my favor, "But." aaye Mr. Furbish, 'although I admit that oa this point the banks and insurance companies agree, I maintain that in another point they disagree, iuaemhch aa all banal hitherto mentioned in history, which have rested one, Bpooie basis, possess a. weak point "P10.11'" insurance companies aro froa, to wit, the being liable periodically to failure, through the publio loa. tna confidence In their lolvcnoy." Now, I submit that this is railing a totally different Issue from tha original oae aud although I have consented to argua with Mr. Furbish" on that point alao, it le really on my part a work of supererogation.

In faot, in raising bis "lack of confidence" pcint, Mr. Furbish 11 simply following my advice, namely, that In assailing tho specie basis eyatem, bo must seek for other and sounder ar. guroeots. He has found another, but I mueh doubt about lta beinb' sounder. in reply' to Mr.

Fur hi.h'a nolut that. Jn seasons of nanlo, tho banks, In consequence of loalng the public, confidence, woro obliged aucpend. specie payment, I said Ibat bow ever valid the argument might agsluet'the old time banks, resting, as they did, on private credit, jit totally failed agarnaf ou pxceont system, not only ou a apecle resorve to proportion. to the circulation, Tar In excett ol any othor existing Initllutlon, not oxcopting the Bank of Eugland, bnt also, on the credit of tho Government and la thnt connection, I asked a very p'ain aud simple question, to wit Whether ho or any other or those gentlemen, who asaetts thot ovary tlouol bank note a greenback "bears a Us on Its face," ever knew or hoard of a easo, Binco the Resumption law went luto operation, where a national bank or tbo United States Treasury refused to redeem Its notes In gold or silver 7 Now, this waa a plain qnostlou, or which any honeat man would havo anBWBred, yea la no and if the reply was yes, would have stated tho name and date bnt instead ot this, Mr. Fur kt.h that mv Question wai bated on a of well' understood facte, I In nl.ln F.iiffllah.
