The French are rapidly pushing for ward the construction of the magnificent buildings designed for their great ex position in 1889, and aa this Is te be tha last for many years they promlse that Ik shall exceed all its predecessors in oil countries. As the fall of the BasUle in 1780 is te he celebrated with extraordi nary displays, they have reconstructed a pert of the old prison, with Intent te show it just as it was at the beginning of their great revolution. But the glory of the exposition will be the great domeovcr the central nave, of which the crest is,te be 140 feet from the ground and sur- dRACEFUL BTRTJCTUBE3 RISING. mounted by a statue thirty feet high.

Besides the many thousand Slcccs that are te line the concave of the orue, all the upper part of the walla will blaze with allegorical figures typify ing the mythology, genius and progress of nil nations; and it is parenthetically added that seme 60,000 ceramics and mosaics will complete the marvelous representation. The oxpeHition will consist of four frand divisions, nil within ene wall, ' newn by their localities as the Champ de Mars, Trocadcre. Qual d'Orsay and the Esplanade, of the Invalidcs. As in 1878, the visitor con go through the1 scries from the Trocadcre te the Icna bridge without leaving the exposition. The four sections might be styled the horticultural, the historical, the indus trial and the artistic, the last for exhibits of the iine arts. In the historical M.

The Eiffel tower, which is te far over top all ether structures in the world, is new 660 feet high, and still rising. Its cost te Nev. 1 was 8,650,000 francs ($710, 000), and 5,575,000 pounds of iron had been used, which indicates that the French have learned hew te construct publie buildings at reasonable expense. All the waste pieces are saved and made Inte ink stands, paper weights, etc., with appropriate settings and inscriptions, which are te be sold as souvenirs of the exposition. It strikes ene as an unpleasant surprise te learn that several monarchical coun tries Irnve declined te be represented, as France is just new the supremely hated republic by most of the despots. Great Britain has token all the pnoceBho could, and asked for mero, as Jehn Bull never allows politics te interfcre with business.

Noyce, who was te be sent out as a missionary by the Berkeley Street Congregational church, of Bosten, and who was net ac cepted by the presidential committee of the American Beard of Foreign Missions, has reopened the discussions of a year age, known as the Andevcr controversy. Mr. Neyca was ordained as a foreign missionary by an ecclesiastical council of Congregational churches en the CM of October last. The beard te whom the matter of appointment was referred , upon examination of the statement of the Christian experience and doctrinal views of the candidate, found hlin, according te their views, unfitted for Uie position. The treuble is the seme as that which has previously disturbed the beard and in the cam of Mr. Noyes the question of an opportunity for probation after death. New ft appears that Mr. Neyca holds that this hypothesis of probation after death .is "Jn harmony with Scrinture" and "a 'necessary corollary te a belief in the uni versality of the ntonement" The pru dential committee of the beard stntelhat inasmuch as the beard gave them in structions in 1880 and reaffirmed them with emphasis In 1687, when this partic ular case was under rovlew, the commit tee cannot appoint Mr. Neycs se long as he holds theso views, and Mr. Neycs affirms that his convictions are stronger than escr before. The action of the prudential committee is sustained by The Independent, The Auvance ami ine but is net sus tained by The Christian Union. Mr. Neycs thus states his position in a nutshell: "Theso who de net hear the mes mes sage in this lif e I trustfully leave te ueu. i tte net claim te knew Ged's methods of dealing with them, but I de net rcfuse te think REV. W. II. NOYES. inint; behalf what I concclve te be a rcosenablo liope that somehow, before their desti nies are fixed, there shall be revealed te them the leve of Ged in Christ Jesus. In this, as in every question te which Ged has given no distinct answer, I merely claun the liberty of the Gospel." Dr. Richard S. Starrs lias given a defi nition under which, he thinks, certain men may safely be sent out as mission aries, and it is claimed that Mr. Neycs comes under tills definition. The com mittee are net a unit en declining Mr. Noyes. Therefore there is considerable strength en the Noyes slde of the con troversy and seme dissatisfaction with the management of the beard, whose members, it is chimed, are using the missionary fund te teach their peculiar views. Mcanwhile tlicre is a confusion of council as te what te de with Mr. Neycs. Some claim that he is entitled te be ac cepted by the beard and should apply again; ethers, that he should be sent out independently by the Berkeley street church.

In 1808 and 1809 he served as fleet captain in the North Pacific squadron, and from 1871 te 1873 was captain of the Colerado, with the Asiatic squadron. He was then made commander of the naval rendez vous at Ban Francisce. In August, 1870, he was made a commodore, and after three years' scrvlce en the llghthouse beard and the naval examining beard, was made rear admiral and given the command of the naval forces en the European station. Tlirce years age he 'retired from the navy. Since then his health has been steadily declining. Dcit Farret for Talking. "What kind of parrot is considered the best?

But self preservation Is one of Uie first laws of nature and Uiere are comparatively few peeple who would rather starve te death than work wlUi Uicir hands. The Instinct of na ture is strong with us nil, nnd there is that consciousness in evcry one, at least hi nearly overy ene, that forces him te labor in order te save his own life. The complications of social conditions and the consequent competition in all dejwrt-i ments of industrial nnd professional life,; tegeUier with Uiese sudden disappear ances of fortunes, nre impressing upon the minds of all, the rich as well as the peer, the necessity of being forearmed.'
