Through the Influence of Mr. Thomas T.
Wright, a citizen of Florida, and otlieri In
tereited In the subject, there was n meeting
of representatlyedescendants of Scotoh-lrlsh
ettleni in America, held In Hay, 1889, at
tbe city of Columbia, Tenn. The ohjeot of
the gathering was the formation of a sooioty
for the collection and preservation of mate
rial relating to the history of the Scotch.
Irlih in thli country, with n view of wltlng
forth the magnificent achievements of that
hardy and energetic race that hat stamped
the record of iti Influence on the settlement
of onr onuntry, the formation of our Institu
tloni, and the development of our rciourcci.
For these endi a society was formed, and
through its members sketches of the families
represented and of the race In general, to
gether with interesting relics connected
with Its history, will be collected and de
posited in Princeton College until the so
ciety has a permanent home or its own for
their preservation.
The proceedings of this meeting have been
published by order of the society. The first
part of the volume coutalns a number of let

It must be remembered that In no way, In
the same sense of tho word, did the Scotch
Irish Presbyterians settle a colour as the
Puritans aettled Massachusetts, the Quakers
Pennsylvania, the Catholics Maryland, or
the Episcopalians Virginia. They belonged
to a later wave of emigration than any of
the above, and when they arrived on this
side of the Atlantic, governments were
firmly established. Theconsequcnce Is that
there are tin enrlv governmental records
that can be quoted as giving expression to
their views. Besides this, the worldly con
dition of many of the emigrants was not
such as would permit them to take an active
purl in political affairs, as the elective fran
chise was then limited by a properly quali
fication, and some of those who might have
claimed the right to vote were too deeply
engaged in providing for their families to
take an active part in polities. It was not.
therefore, until tbey gained a foothold, and
by their thrift, energy and enterprise made
their settlements important, that they exer
cised any influence in colonial iiffairs.
When this point was gained they brought
into publio life an element d I recti v antago
nistic to tbe established order nf things,
and no one can deny that they were
instrumental In bringing about the War for
Independence,whlch tbey loyally supported.
What the result of their influence would
have been in Kentucky nnd Tennessee,
where they were pioneer settlers, had it not
been for the llevolutlou, wo can only sur
mise. After thai, civil nlid religious lib
erty were such cardlnnl tiririclhles of eov-
eminent, that It Is tint safe to attribute them
to any one class. The material for the h!s
tory of the Scotch-Irish in this country we
fear Ims been largely destroyed. Some par

The fUnte Hupreine Court recently df elded
In lo separalt case tlmt r ub-contrflotor
engaged lu the erection of a building has no
lien against Ilia building if the contract be
tween the owner and principal contractor
provides that the building shall be delivered
free of liens. All eonlraots contain that
proviso, but heretofore It was not supposed
that it affected sub-contractors and material
wen, who are not parties to the contract and
whose Hen is given lo them by statute aa an
extraordinary remedy.
This Interpretation of tbe law practically
wipes out the mechanics' lien law, which"
has been in operation since 1800, and makes
all people who do work on or furnish ma
terial for a new building look to the princi
pal contractor alone for their money. Its
effects will be far-reaching, nnd the parties
interested in it havo not yet grasped Its full
meaning. The general opinion thus far la
very much In favor of the decision as tend
ing to freeze out all dishonest contractors
and raising such transactions to a higher
level. When the bricklayers, plasterers,
masons, painters, lumber-dealers and others
find, however, that they will not have tho
slightest claim against n building on which
they aro working, a different story will be
told.
Builders and contractors who deal di
rectly with tho owners will be benefited by
tho decision, and are very well satisfied
with it. A well-known builder said the
new Interpretation would not only benefit
builders, but it would be fair to owners who
have berctoforo been compelled in somo
cases to pay twice for the nine work. "In
nil tho years I have been in business," said
he, "I have never had to enter a Hen against
a building. The law has Its good points,
hut It has been greatly abused. A dis
honest contractor could easily keep nil the
money, skimp his work nnd refuso to pay
the sub-contractors. Liens wero filed
ngalnsc the owner, and rather than have n
blur on his title he paid for a large part of
the work a second time. Principal con
tractors are now required to enter heavy
security, but the new ruling will relieve
them of that Honest and reliable con
tractors will be benefited by the decision,
but dishonest and tricky ones will be driven
out of business."
Among lawyers the decision has been
generally accepted as good law, nnd the
opinion Is generally expressed that there
should be no Hen law whatever. "I tbtnk
the outcome of the matter will be," said a
well-known lawyer, "that a new Hen law
will be passed by the next Legislature. Of
course, the Supreme Court Is right. As the
new Interpretation puts It the mechanics
will suffer In some particulars and be bene
fited lu others. The some thing Is true of
the owners, I believe ll would he n good
thing to abolish the law altogether,"
Another Inwyer said the decision was n
very material departure from what had
heretofore been regarded as the law, but he
tlintialil Hint It the Supreme Court stood by
the decision in every partleiilnr It would be
n good thing, Umlr the old ruling n ills

in which the following Is stated:
"There seems to have been something pe

suffered. It was commonly thought to have
been n cross decussate, or two pieces of tim

In the church's register, page 9, Jt la
staled as to this ohuruli's origin, oto,, that
several members of Trinity Church, Pitts
burg, being nf opinion that the Interests of
religion would be ndvanoed by the forma
tion nfn second Kplscopnl cougiegatlon In
the oily of Pittsburg, a meeting was held, nt
which Chsrlos II, Jones, II, L, Ilollmnn, J,
Duller mid others were prosont, who pro
ceeded to organUo themselves Into a churoh
under the style and title of St. Andrew'
Church, Pittsburg, where a vestry was
chosen, composed of the gentlemen above
named nnd others. Application was made
for a charter, etc. The congregation met
for the first time on Caster Monday, In 18J7,
when it appeared that about 20 communi
cants were present. In the summer nf the
same year, the Ilov. Hewell Keith. D. D.,
of tho Theological Seminary of Virginia,
was elected rector, and accepted tbe cult of
tho vestry, agreeing to take charge of the
congregation in April, 1838. Meanwhile,
the Key. C. H. rage.nl Virginia, was called
to supply tho vacancy, who labored faith
fully fur six months. Application being
made to release He v. Dr. Keith from his ac
ceptance of the call of the vestry on nccount
of the objectioni of tho Trustees of the sem
inary to nis leaving that'instltutlnii, he was
released. Whereupon, the Ilev. Charles W.
Andrews, of Virginia, was elected the rector
of the parish, nnd accepted the-call of the
vestry in January, 1838, nnd entered upon
his duties on tho 27th of May, following.
The congregation met the first time in the
West ward schoolroom, but subsequently
worshiped for 18 months In Concert Half,
Penn street. The vestry contraotcd for

story of which was occupied in December,
1839, tbe main room In May. 1840. Rev. C.

It was of the plain, comfortnble, old-fash-loncd

In which it was erected. It was of suitable
dimensions for the use nnd eccommodntlan

A Very Intelligent Do.
An English officer, who was in Paris in

though scarcely honest, manner. Tho offi

Hnved by Her Dog.
'While gathering dandelion in tho wood
near her home n lew day ago, little Alary
Ituckman, the 10-year-old daughter of Hiram
Iluolcrunn, n well-to-do farmer In the upper
part of Northampton county, wa chased by
a huge make, and wa only saved from its
fang by the timely Interference of tbe
family dog. The llttlo girl had gntbered a
handful of flowers, when a huge woodshlte
snake darted out from a trunk of a fallen
tree.
The child ran toward tbe farmhouse with
the writhing serpent in hot pursuit. Just
before rcachlug home the snake was at her
heels, nnd her mind was almost gone. Tha
big family bulldog. Jumped the yard fence,
nnd started to tho rescue. The snake fast
ened its fnngs Into ono of the dog's hind
legs and coiled itself around his body. The
dog succeeded In getting hold of the snake's
throat, and then the conflict for life was
noon over. Since tne occurrence the girl
has been troubled with nervous prostration.
The snake when measured was over eight
feet long, aud its body was larger tbau a

her often to put him outside tho window,

cage was thus placed a sparrow we observed
to fly round nnd round It, lo stand on the

which ho dropped Into tho cage. Day after
