The one hundredth session of the jren ml assembly of the Presbrterlarj church In America, recently convened In Phila delphia, prered te be an occasion of even mere Interest than was expected, qnlte rivaling that hlstorle assembly in the name place in 1870, which did much toward the reunion of the Old Scheel and the New. The first general assembly of the ptw DTterUn church In America, consolidating the old Bide with the new side, was held a year after the erection of the states Inte federal Union by the adoption. ! the Constitution. And It Is certainly no disparagement of any ether denomination te add that the. Presbyterian church was and la peculiarly suited te America, for though Individual ministers and writers of the church bave at various times held ether Views, yet the church as a church has maintained from the first tbnt no form of church Sirernment Is of tine command, that the brethren in each country hare Christian liberty te adept that form of church polity which Is beat mt. j. t. BMrra. suited te thel r situation, and that the presbyterlal form II only best for Orcat Britain and Amer ica becauRO It bethreqnlrcs and cultivate a general exercise of pergenal Intelligence ETery communicant Is made te feel that he or she Is a constituent of, and te that extent responsible for the make up of the session, the prrstyttry. the synod and the general aRbembly. Kvcn the austere 1 chard Baxter, whose conscience would net allow him te "conform" In 1070-80, and who Is se llttle understood by the present generation tlmt his natne is some times used as A reprefetitatlve of bigotry, Sas se liberal that lie advocated the reeali ' Charles II, was made a court chaplain and eflurcd a bWhoprie by that monarch, and labored lenj; te establish mutual toleration between the sects. He froely conceded that monarchy was then the best for England, and se an established prelacy was net la Itself a wrong; he only claimed a like toleration for tliose who preferred a presbyterlal form, and that, the civil polity of a Christian body should be se flexible that it could grew and de Vflep with the development of the state. It is aWe worth noting that the estab lishment and growth of the Presbyterian church In a colony was always coincident with the growth of liberal Ideas In gov ernment, and se It 1 quite a natural coincidence that the new government and the new churcb organization came te full growth to gether. As en historian Joou Jeou Joeu larly says: "There . was always a geed deal of 'E Plurt 1ms Unum' about the church gov ernment, as Its gradations from local session threu g h p r e B bytcry and synod up te general as sembly liar me n- l7.ru! admirably DB.cius.l.tiiemw)N. wlth the Ajnerf. can system of township, county, state and nation, no many units of one order making one of the next higher order, with general laws for all and local self government." Even the schism of 1637, complete and far reaching as It was, had some curiously liberal features. It was a division en methods and measures In which each party held te Its respective standards, and never was union mere hearty and complete than when the two bodies came together. Any man who will compare the original Westminster Confession of Faith with the rovlsien adopted bv the general assembly of 1788 will see that the men who took the lead In that assembly were keenly allve te what was going an In America; that they had read the do de bates of the convention of 1787 pretty closely, and that they seized upon the full meaning of the new consti tution and foresaw its future effects in securing religious liberty. They carefully struck out every word or r-'ntence which might be se construed as te give the civil government any power ever uiflercnccs In religious opinion, and after providing for synods and assemblies under call of church authority, added these werds: "It Is the duty of civil magistrates te protect the person and geed name of all their people, In such an effect sal manner as that no person be suffered, either upon pretense of religion or Infidelity, te offer any indig nity, violence, abuse or injury te any ether person whatsoever, and te take order that all religious and ecclesiastical assemblies be held without molestation or disturb ance." And that is the Bound American law today, as ever since the adoption of the constitution; but It may net be se well known that It was tlie doctrine of manv j-BBHuent Presbyterians and Indo Inde Indo peaMttswheu the divisions began in Englasl- Indeed, the attention of young Amerieaaa should frequently be called te the fact that when the first settlements of New England and Virginia were formed, there was no forced line of separation in England; men of noted Calvlnlstle rlews held high places In the established church, HOIITICULTUU U, ACADEMY OK HALL.

The severity of the government very naturally drove the Puritans te an op posite extreme; se the former expelled the Presbyterians from England, and the latter made it uncomfortable for them in New England. Fortunately for the New World no ene sect waa Btreng enough te control; the recruit was, finally, mutual toleration and the glorious constitution. With perfect freedom Presbyterianlsin has grown te that great power we new see. The centennial assembly brought to gether many eminent men: Dr. James McCosh, ex-Justice Streng, Itev.

The central west Is new cleared and ditched te such an extent that a big rise in the Mississippi in an unusual event; but at Intervals varying from five te fifteen years, all the affluent streams seem te pour In their vernal floods at once, and each such flood thus caused is reported higher than any before It, And such a flood Is new working bavoe en all the lowlands bordering the great river from Keokuk te riacquerolue. Abeve the for mer the "bottom lands" are Inconsidera ble, and below the latter the river's level scarcely varies three feet per year, as the numerous bayens and "passes" Boen re lease the surplus te the gulf. At high vater about U.OOO.OOO gallons per second pass a line stretched straight across the stream from Baten Rouge, but net far below there the eastern bluff en tirely disappears, and many streams run from the river te the swamp, and thus seek the beck route te the gulf. Anether Important factor is that the streams flow ing into the Mississippi gather their wa ters from twenty states and territories, and that thus some are at flood, whtle ethers are almost dry; ee the farther down stream ene gees the mera equal Is the velume In different months. 'Thus at Caire the great river has steed, In the flood season, at a level forty feet higher than its lowest; but at Memphis a thirty feet variation Is rare; at Vlcksburg there Is much less, and thus en down te New Orleans, where a rise of five feet Is disas trous. When It docs happen, however, that the Ohie and Missouri jour in their floods at the same time with the Red, the Arkansas, the Yazoo, etc., then the lower Mississippi cuts lecee from all known laws ana plows a new channel, apparently at random, through Its bread delta, or sweeps ever all levees, submerges the sugar and lower cotton region, and from Pert Hudsen te the gulf presents the aspect of a vast muddy sen. The bluffs of the Mississippi only fol fel low the general course of the stream, and as ene gees te the southward they get farther away from the stream, till the "bottom lands" ere from thirty te sixty miles wide, and below Baten Rouge, as aforesaid, the whele country Is "bottom." Above St. Leuis these wlde lowlands are rare; but the noted "American bottom" U several miles wlde oppeslto Hannibal, Me., and extends the length of two or three counties en the Illinois side.

With the emperor of Ger many , and the kings of Bavaria, Helland and wuttemberg, this makes six great rulers who demlse may be ex pee ted dur ing the year 1888. Of tbe emperor and Dem Pedre, Americans already knew great deal; but King Leuis of Portugal Is comparatively unknown, as that little kingdom Is practically of no Influence In the New World. Yet there waa a tlme when It was a power; indeed, the great empire of Brazil Is the outgrowth of one of Its colonies and Dera Pedre him self Is a Braeranza, that is, he Is of the stock of the royal heuse of PnH vt rral .

At the same tlme Jehn VI of Por tugal lied te his colony of Brazil, of whlrh his eon, Pedre I, became prince regent; but he could net resist the tendency te independence, and In 1823 accepted the title of emperor of Brazil, In 18711 he abdicated in favor of his son Dem Pedre, who was born late lu 1820 and has been emperor fifty-six years, though but 02 years old. His mother was a daughter of Emperor Franz I, of Austria and a sister of Marie Loulse, Napeleon's second wlfe. The English drove the French out of Portugal, and In 1821 Jehn VI returned from Brazil, agreeing te rule according te a liberal constitution. He died in 1620, and then the Brazilian regent, who would have succeeded, agreed te a separation of the two countries, his daughter Maria du Gleria te be queen of Portugal. But her uncle selzed the government, and a civil war followed, tne result of which was a new constitution in 1884, with Maria as queen. She died In 1858, and her son Pedre V succeeded. He died of yellow fever in 1801, and his brother Leuis (Lulz I) succeeded. He was born Oct. 01, 1838, and according te the physi cians cannot live beyond his COth birth day.

(he Unskjr llaaketmakar. The latest fad or craze in California, especially In the southern portion, is te possess a collection of Indian baskets. It Is the correct thing, and some of the most artistic homes in the state have rooms decorated with them. Who started the craze Is net known, but some ene discov ered that the baskets possessed great artlstle beauty, were rich in harmonious coloring and formed attractive ornaments f6V library and parlor, and the demand began. It was the old Btery of new lamps for old, and dealers and ethers went around the country exchanging new mod ern baskets for the old ones of the Span ish and Mexican families. The baskets are cxhatntec, at least the old ones, being new in the hands of a few collectors and ethers who will net sell them. The baskets cost from tl.60 te $3 usually, and bring from (10 te $50 apiece. Unless the reader haa seen some of these works of barbaric art tlds prlce will seem excessive; but the graceful shape, the rich brown tints, the age and association, give them a value appreciated by theso who have engaged In their collection. The cheapest way te make a collection is te go te seme collector and buy their baskets outright : but the most pleasurable method la te take a carrlage and go about the country among the Indians and Mexicans and buy them one's self. Many of the finest baskets come from the Indians north of San Francisce, and ethers have been collected In Les Angeles, San Diege and San Bernardine counties. In the lat ter counties are the remnants of the Mis sion Indians, hidden away In the moun tains at Pain, Pauma and at Pachanza. EXr-KUlIWCEB OF TUB COLLKCTOIU The experiences of the amateur basket collector are varled, and no better way lu which te study the habits of the present Indians can be found. The successful basket fiend must have what Is popularly known as "cheek," must walk into the licdroems and private apartments, insist upon trunks being opened and contents shown. This may scorn a high handed proceeding, but it is necessary, as even ' while thu people wish te sell they, In the majority or cases, Bay at first that they have no beskets, and when they are pro pre dnced de net wish te sell en account of the ancient aunt or grandparent who has handed them down. If, however, the would be purchaser has the staying power the basket can be secured.' The sellers generally believe the Americans te be great feels for paying such prices. A half breed Informed the writer that the peeple were crazy and would glve anything; and with a laugh, he said: "They pay five times as much for the old ones as they de for the new." That a basket which they ue te sift their flour In could serve as an ornament Is beyond their conception; yet this Is the end te which theso old utensils are put. They are tacked against the walls te show the figures or color, or hung ever doers or in corners. The large ones find n place near the fire te held the weed, whlle ethers are distributed about the library for papers and magazines; indeed, their usefulness grows upon one. The finest collections are photographed by their owners and make a fine and artistic showing. It Is as en art that the work of these peeple commends Itself, net oleno in the form of the baskets, but in the marking and arrangement of colors; and that such artlstle feeling should be found among peeple whose Ideas of art, as we recognize it, are of the crudest description, is ro re ro markable. After be many years of asso ciation with white people it would net appear strange If some of their Ideas of ornamentation were obtained from them, jntthls Is extremely rare. All the orna mentation is unique, possessing an Indl iduallty that cannot be mistaken. The lines are often graceful and of great geo metrical beauty, radiating from the cen ter. A common design Is a series of trl angular or arrow shaped figures worked Inte radiating Unes. Some seem te repre sent flashes of lightning in the zigzag motion. Human figures worked In, often extending completely around the basket, with clasped hands, are seen in seme of the best baskets, whlle deer and ether auimals are sometimes Introduced. The colors are usually dull reds or browns, j cllews and black, and in almost every case the blending is harmonious. Whero these peeple obtain their ideas Is an In teresting question, but probably from nature the foliage, the bending grasses, etc , suggesting the lines of grace and beauty METHODS OF 1HSKET MAKINO. It is net necessary te go far from the centers of civilization te Bee basket makets. The Diggers preduce beautiful baskets net far from San Francisce, while the Indians about Monterey, Santa Bar bara, Ies Angeles aud ether localities BtUl make cearse ones in the same primitive wav The basket work of the California In dians is vuluable in several ways. It is chaiactcrlstle of the different tribes, and they can be traced by It. Seme baskets are beautifully ornamcuted with feathers, and this shows that they were made by the Indians north of Sen Francisce. One for which a large sura was recently paid Is ornamented with the red feathers of the woodpecker, while around the edge are the plumes of the plumed quail. The feathers are woven in while the basket is being made. Fineness nd age are two Important qualifications. The California Indians employ two gen eral methods In basket making; the coil Is clther twined or whipped. The Dig gers, as bofero stated, produce fine baskets of great beauty, whlle the Klamath and McCloud Indians make twined baskets se line that they can be ueedte held water. In the baskets from the Eel river tribe a double cell is used. The Modoe women preduce some beautiful shapes. We sce cones, Inverted truncated cones, shallow dishes, seme like hats or half eggs, vases, lenjr and narrow, ethers flat, with abort necks. Plaques are common, whlle seme baskets are almost perfect spheres. Many of these are made of willow slips and plne roots, bt allied In the southern county with nail rust. The material Ubed mostly by the California Indians Is the plant known scientifically as "rhus arematica," or squaw berry In the houses or ramadas of basketmakers the raw material Is seen twigs cut and scraped, Bight or ten inches lu length nnd tied together with a string. They are dyed with plants and nail rust. Yeuug girls can be seen soaking the twigs and acraplug oil the bark ready for the old women te use. The old baskets may be considered a lest art, and compara tively few modern ones are being made, net enough te meet the demand. 0. F. lleldcn in San FmucUce Chronicle. VOICE OF THE FAITHFUL HEART.

A sharp eyed little man attracted the writer's attention In a Chicago hotel by the close watch he maintained at the din ner table upon the laws of the ether guects. After watching them all pretty clesely5 for a while, he finally concentrate! his attention upon an elderly gentleman opposite, who ate his feed with some diffi culty. Hvent casual observer could have noted that he selected only tbe softest articles en the b'il of fare. "That man haa a bad fitting set of teeth and 111 get them," said the little man. When the elderly gentleman left the table the little ene followed, and In a few mo ments was in. conversation with him, and, as It afterward transpired, had engaged te buy his false teeth a seen as he had ob tained a new set. This little man picks up a great many sets of false teeth In the course of a year. Most persons that have a set before they reach 80 years of age are obliged te buy two mere sets, at least, before they reach GO years, and the mouth changes be that teeth that fit well and serve their wearer well at first after a while de net fit and cause the wearer a great deal of discom fort. The man that makes a living in this line has acquired a great knack for disceveringlllflttlng teeth, and he scarcely ever falls toaecuro a bargain, for notwith standing false teeth are the only Immortal material about our bodies, Inasmuch as they are said te be capable of resisting 4,000 degs. of heat (Fahrenheit), very few peeple knew that they are worth any thing second hand, and be the little man gets them at his own figure. He told the writer that many Bets of false teeth are found. Owners are mere caroless of them than Is supposed, aud in stances are mere frequent than would be imagined in which they have been left in hotel bedrooms. They have been found lu railroad cars and even In horse cars, and qulte frequently turn up In cabs. As the cabbies and railroad empleyes cannot wear ether people's teeth they hunt up the buyer, and he gets the set for a few shil lings. The scavengers sometimes rake up a set in an ash barrel, and sets are some times picked up in the streets. One Bet was found In a magpie's nest In Pennsyl vania, and another waa picked out of a woman's threat by a surgeon. The patient would never wear thorn again, and they wero sold for a song. The llttle man picks up a nice living by his purchaser, adding te it new and then by buying a second hand wig or two. New Yerk Press. Happy nml Heme Ievlng French.
