When you stand among ruins of great temples of the pact, whether those temples were the outgrowth of hero-worship, of pure patriotism or of religious adoration and zeal, your entire consciousness is swept by overwhelming though almost indefinable emotion. From the harmonies or discords of these effects there is sometimes caught and crystallized from a thrill ot feeling an emphatic perception and conviction. Mel rose Abbey, roofless to the sky, ana Dry burgh Abbey, so nearly leveled that great trees spread strong arms trom its crumbling walls, above all else tell rou this: That which art teats from nature's arms with which to vainly typify endlessness, natnre inexorably demands again. The ideal, the spiritual, in art and all else, alone survives. You will have this flashed upen you at Jlelrose the moment you see the old clock in its tower and hear its sadly-solemn bell measuring off the hours of irrevocable de cadence; and you will know it at Dry burg when you contemplate the fact that so little remains of the vast and magnifi cent uile that the very tomb of Scott must soon be obliterated through the march of surrounding decay. Both of tnese once tre mendous structures are at the threshold of annihilation. Only the spiritual asDira tion, in kind, that created then), remains. Scott's dust mingles with Dryburg's verdure-covered heaps of crumbled sandstone. But the intellectual, the spiritual, legacy be left to the world, is immortal. And this is not preaching, unless you wish to call by that name that which flashes in upon you trom out the very shadows of these glorious old abbey ruins. BEAUTIFUL MELEOSE. There is no doubt that Melrose Abbey is yearly visited by more strangers and pil grims from foreign lands than any other great abbey, castle or palace in Scotland, not except Holyrood Palace, in Edinburgh; and briefly recalling its environment and history will have interest to many. The vale of Melrose lying in the very heart of the valley of the Tweed, just below the confluence of Gala Water, the Yarrow, Xtrick Water and the Kiver Tweed is perhaps seven miles long. The Tweed gently curves around it Irom Abbotsiord on the west, to the vicinity ol Drygrange on the east, bordering and intersecting central spaces of about a mile in breadtb, surpass ingly rich in pastures, groves, orchards, hamlets and mansions. These are protected by heights picturesquely diversified with tender recesses and wooded braes; while immediately behind the town, to the south, rise those weird, Mons Tremontium of the Komans, the Eildon Hills. Tradition has it tuattbeyonce lormed a single cone, which was clet in three, during an ecstacy of rage on the part or Scotland's once famous wizard a real character of flesh and blood and authenticated black-art power Sir Mi chael Scott They are noble heights, around and between which banners ot mist are lorever floating, as if still signaling the olden .Roman hosts, the wizards, the Picts and the Druids they once knew. Sixteen grand terraces rib their lofty sides, recalling those marvelous nature-riddles of the .North, the weird and wondrous parallel, roads of lone and far Glenroy. The village of Melrose itself is a compact little mass of curious old houses on the ancient highway between Edinburgh and Jedburgh. The latter is the waspisti old border town once called Jedhart, where, in Border davs, they hvas all grade of fctrangers falling into their hands before they tried them; from which genial custom the expression "Jedhart," or "Scotch jus tice," had its origin. Here and there an occasional modern edifice contrasts strange ly with the bald, blackened and crazy struc tures about them; and 'he latter squat in shrinking groups, patched with glorious carvings stolen from the old abbey, like a lot ol bedraggled mendicants clad" in the finery of a ruined patron. ANCIENT SURROUNDINGS. One quaint, pretty street runs away from the hamlet toward the manufacturing town of Galashiels, to the west, as if ashamed of the squalor of its company; a blank, drear, deserted triangular open space in the center of the village renders it impossible for you to set into or out of it without suffering espionage and levies; a market cross as old as the abbey itself rears its gray and grizzled column in a dreary corner ol the town; three or four thoroughfares shut in by ramshackle bouses merge into one which leads across the Tweed into near Gattonside, the oddest and sleepiest housing of odd and sleepy folk in all Scotland; and perched aboveall, not u thousand feet trom the abbey itself, is a smart railway station looking contemptuous ly down upon the huddled dreariness and decay below. From this, or better from the Eiluon Hills, Melrose sets in Melrose "Vale by the Tweed like a brown and ragged wind-whipped Gipsy tent,- embosomed in meadow grasses where quivers like a silver thread a hesitant, vagrant stream. But this surpassing ruin to wich you have come was not the first Melrose Abbey. Three miles below the Melrose of to-day the Tweed almost forms an island in the valley. This peninsula is a gentle eminence. Its G.ellic appellation was Meal!-rois, "the projecting hill." Hence "Mailros," and linjlly Melrose. The locality is now known as Old Melrose. The strong natural de fenses with the seclusion and luxuriousness of the vale, attracted a colony of mission ary ecclesiastics from the Cufdee Monastery of Iona, in the Hebrides, who here founded a rnde chapter house in the seventh century. Its first abbot w as Fata. Old Melrose be came renowned, but its brethren were banished in 1075 on their re fusal to acknowledge Malcolm III. as their sovereign. A chapel, dedicated to St Cuthbert alone survived the destruction which followed. Xearly a century later, in 1136, a magnificent monastery or abbev was founded by the Scottish King, David I., for Cistercian monks at the then hamlet of For del, now Melrose, the precise siteof theMel rose Abbey of to-day- It was consecrated in 1140, and about two centuries later, in 1322, was nearly destroyed by Edward II., of England, during one ot bis last forays north of the border. The restoration, or rather reconstruction, of the Melrose Abbey founded in 1136 gave Scotland THIS SURPASSING B.UIN of to-Aay. Its original completion was the most ardent desire of Scotland's greatest hero-patriot, King Robert Bruce, who, in 1326, granted to its abbot "all the feudal casualties and crown issues of Teviotdale:" nnd on the death of Bruce at Cardross, in 1329, his heart, which was embalmed to be carried by Sir James Douglas to Palestine, was rescued from the Moors, who slaugh tered the chivalrous Douglas, and brought to and sepultured in the noble abbey which Bruce so loved. It is authen ticated that vhile the structure itself, covering the outlines of area exist ing and traceable at the present time, was completed in ten years alter its spoliation by Edward IX, the Cistertian monks, whose skill in that age in architect ure and statuary will remain the wonder of all time, and who regarded lavish orna mentation of ecclesiastic edifices as one of the highest expressions of religious feeling, vere zealously employed oyer 200 years upon its decoration. Of all the religious edifices created during the period ol the Middle-Pointed style, which prevailed from the thirteenth century to about the middle ot" the fifteenth, or to the time ol the Refor mation in Scotland, Melrose Abbey was in comparably the most magnificent and stately, exquisitely chaste and marvelously beau tiful. Surpassing in its day and time of massive feudal piles and vast religious structures, it still holds thesame regal prominence among all the countless impressive ruins through out Great Britian. The immediate sur roundings of the abbey are distressing to the stranger. On one side is a grazing ground for sheep. On another, a drear, for lorn, modern graveyard, with thin and meager headstones, is crowded against it. On another, thatched hovels and cabins huddle beneath its graceful buttresses. And on another, that Cerberus-horror, guarding all that is sweet, sacred and beautiful, in Scotland, a combined inn and toll gate, lays in wait at the only entrance. Scarcely a tree, shrub or plant is there to kindly hide the squalor and avarice, or soiten the hurt ful ravages of time. If you love to con template the glorious in pure art, Melrose is a never-ending feast If, in your liking, even marvelous ruins must be set in the tender framework wrought by nature's re covering and rehabilitating hands, you will be bitterly disappointed. The church itself is in the form of the cross of St John of Jerusalem. THE CHURCH AND TOWER. Its length from east to west if 258 feet, the cross aisle, 137 feet; while the breadtb of tbe nave is 69 feet between the walls. From the center of the Latin cross rises a square tower 81 leet high, of which the west side only remains. This tower rests on a lolty pointed arch, the summit of which ter minates in a stone balustrade with quatre foil rails, under which is a bas-reliei frieze of roses. The north transept is roofless. The eastern part of the nave is still cov ered and was used during the first quarter of this century as a parish church; but the western part is roofless, and the great west entrance is gone. In the south wall are eicrht windows 16 feet by 8. well preserved and of wondrous beauty. The roof above the eastern part of the choir, and the mar velous east window at its end, are still almost perfect This "east oriel"is the one everybody has seen through Sir Walter Scott's description in the ".Lay of the Last Minstrel." Tbe moon on the east oriel shone Throuch slender shafts of sbapely stone. By foliage tracery combined. Thou wouldst hare thought some fairy's hand 'Tnixt poDlars straight tbe osier wand In manv a freakish knot bad twined; Tben framed a SDell. when tbe wore was done. And changed tbe willow-wreaths to stone. Indred, the keynote of the wondrous art exhibited in Melrose Abbey seems to have been this very "foliage tracery combined." The pedestals for all statues, and there must have been upward of 200, are composed of 5 members of cornice, supported by palm boughs, terminating at the foot in a point with a triple roll. The tracery of the window millions is in foli age. The pedestals and canopies of the buttress niches are all ornamented in gar lands of flowers. In tbe arch of the door once leading to the cloisters, thework upon tbe fillet is of marvelous conception and ex ecution, the flowers and foliage being sep arated Irom the stone behind and suspended in a twisted garland. There is no more superb stonework in all Europe than in the molding, pinnacle work and foliage of the remaining seals of the cloister. The side aisles are formed by light clustered pillars, richly capitalled, with garlands of flowers and loliage disposed delicately in the mold ings. One might safely say that the entire decoration of this marvelous interior is sim ply an unsurpassed nature study of foliage. plants and flowers, wrought in stone to as accurate a semblance as though under the most perfect representation by pencil. To my mind, solemn MAGNIFICENCE AND SPLENDOR has never elsewhere been more perfectly wedded to tbe very incarnation of the beau tiful through art Setting entirely aside the religious associations, those impressive emotions which ever arise at the sepulture of the mighty dead, or still those more touching and exquisite emotions which are the outgrowth of a consciousness that the eyes and hearts of countless men and women of transcendent genius have feasted upon the splendid shrine, as have yonrs apd mine, I know of no other spot in the three king doms where one may come and so worship alone, with the immortal soul of art whis pering sweetly through the silent lips of chiseled stone. If Melrose Abbey furnishes examples of art almost as bewitching as the most deli cate expressions of nature itself, Dryburg Abbev, but four miles distant, down the Tweed, holds and fascinates the wanderer with a far more tender and subtle charm. The founding of Dryburg is of remoter an tiquity than even that of the original Culdee house of Old Melrose. Before the advent of Christian missionaries the place was resorted to by the Druids for the celebration of their mystic rites as Darachbruach or burgh, "tbe bank cluster of sacred oaks," Dry burg's Celtic name, implies Modan, a Culdee Presbyter, set up the first Christian establishment of Dryburg in 622. For 628 years thereafter its history is insignificant The monks from Alnwick, under the patron age of Sir Hugh de Morviile, Constable' of Scotland under Kiug David L, fonnded here a Premonstratentian Abbey of splendid dimensions. This was burned along with Melrose Abbey by Edward II., and restored by aid granted by King Robert Bruce. Twice, in 1385 and in 1554, it was pillaged aud devasted by the English. The Eelorm ation of doughty John Knox, 16 years later, did the rest TAEIOUS AECHITECTUEE. The ruins of Dryburgh Abbey show that the walls of the completed edifice stood on different levels, and that the structure illustrated at least four different styles of architecture. This is seen in the massive Boman arch with its ample, square sides; the deep splayed and always impressive Saxon arch; the pillared and intersected Norman arch; and the early English pointed arch. The church was originally in the form of a cross with short transepts, and a small bnt ex quisitely decorated choir, while the interior was divided by light and graceful colon nades into a central space and side aisles. Of the transepts a portion of but one, the north, called St Mary's Aisle, is still stand ing; but there is a no more beautiful speci men of the early Gothic to be found in Scotland than is this, the solentn and secluded burial place of Scotia's greatest minstrel, the noble nuthor of "Waverly." The chapter house, a tiny chapel of St Modan, a Norman arch which formed the western doorway, are yet standinc. A stately yew, over 800 years old, still stands upon the lawn, opposite where once the abbots sat at their parlor casements, to mock the huge pile of stone as it crumbles into the earth. Edgar L.

The Testimony in the Frank Grade Murder Case Yesterday. ALL SEEM OP THE SAME OPINION. Physicians and Others Testify to His Hany Queer Actions. A DAI'B DEIFT IN THE CODflTI GODETS The trial of Frank Grade for the mnrder his 9-year-old stepdaughter, Annie Hofner, was continued in Criminal Court yesterday. August Douch was the first witness. He testified that he was a neighbor and old acquaintance of the defendant, but of late bad noticed tbat his actions were pecu liar and that he had been drinking to excess and appeared to be out ot His mind. William Grade, a brother of the defend ant, testified that the afternoon before the morning of the murder, he went to his brother's bouse and that his brother was walking up and down on the porch, and at first would not notice him. The witness said: "I asked him if he had the work for' me that he had promised. He told me that he had never asked me to do any work. -Shortly after he asked me if I was not going to do the work, and then he complained of being sick." James Marshall, a jail keeper, was the next witness. He said: "I was at the jail when Grade was brought there, and have bad charge of bim ever since. He is now better than he has been for some time since. Just alter he was brought to the jail he would throw himself on the floor of his cell, lace downward, and lay there for hours; then he would get up and sit in a chair, staring at one object for hours." ALMOST GUESSWOKK. Dr. Chessrown, the jail physician, testi fied that in his opinion the prisoner was insane, but that it was almost guesswork to say whether anybody was insane or not Charles Alburn said that on the afternoon preceding tbe morning of the murder he met the defendant on Preble avenue, Alle gheny, but that the latter refused to notice him. The witness stated that the defendant had a strange look in his eyes, but he did not appear to be intoxicated. Thomas Farrell testified that he met the defendant in Marco's barber shop, Woods' Bnn, on the afternoon referred to by the former witness. The defendant had a new paint brush with which he commenced to r , t: e 1 -J i 11 IIU- urnsn nis lace, auu acieu m mucr waja xi.e an insane man. John Marce, proprietor of the barber shop, testified that the defendant bad come into his place on the afternoon referred to, and got in a chair to be shaved. He did not seem to be intoxicated, but after he had been partially shaved he sprang out of the seat He was induced to get in again, but repeated tbesame act three times. Lewis Hilte testified to the unnatural actions of the defendant for a few days pre ceding the murder. Dr. George McCord testified to visiting the prisoner in July at the jaiL He said tbe prisoner glared at him and moved about as if he intended to spring on him. The witness asserted that the man was insane. THINKS IT ACUTE DEMENTIA. Dr. Avres' testimony was similar to that of Dr. McCord. He pronounced tbe insan ity that the defendant was suffering from acute dementia, of which one of tbe charac teristics was sudden outbursts of violence, which could take the form of homicide or suicide. Dr. C. C. Wiley gave similar testimony. He was asked by Attorney W. D. Moore, for the defense, if be believed that the de fendant was insane at tbe time or tbe mnr der. He replied that with the knowledge of the facts he had of the case and from his own personal examination he would state that, in his judgment. Grade was insane at the time and still is, although now im proved. District Attorney Johnston asked the witness if the prisoner was insane at the time of the murder, if he knew he was in sane. Dr. Wiley replied: "In my judgment he was insane at that time." The District Attorney then asked bim when the man became insane, but this ques tion the witness did not presume to answer. Herman Grade, abrotherof thedefendant, testified to the lacts as related by the other witnesses. The trial was adjourned until Monday, SENTENCED FOB SELLING QUAIL. Grind of Ibo Criminal Court Contlnned From Day to Day. In the Criminal Court yesterday Judge Magee sentenced William Wilkinson to pay a fine of $200, and in default of payment, 200 days in jail. Wilkinson, on informa tion of the Game Warden, was convicted of misdemeanor for selling quail within tbe prohibited time. He had bought the quail in another State, and tbe question of law in the case was argued before Judge Ewing. He handed down an opinion a few days ago, holding that Wilkinson's' act had been a violation of the law, and he was sentenced yesterday, accordingly. An application will be made to the Supreme Court for a Bpecial allocatur, and the case taken there for a final disposition. Mollie Flocker was acquitted of the lar ceny of a silk curtain. Benjamin Johnston was convicted of unlawful wounding for shooting Leonard Hilton in the leg. The jury is out in the case of Edward Burry, tried for assault on Tillie Bertel. Charles L. Lyton pleaded guilty to the larceny of a number of articles from the Fast End Gymnasium. He was sent to the Hunting don Reformatory. WANTS IT QUASHED. Arguments to be Mode In the Case Against J Joseph Lynch. Morton Hunter, Esq., yesterday made ap plication to Judge Acheson, of the United States Court, to quash the charge against Joseph Lynch, who is accused of using the mails in a scheme to defraud. Lynch was a driver on the West End Street Car line, and wrote to Charles Pierce, in Detroit, asking him to "fix him up some tickets" like those used on the West End line, intending to get counterfeit tickets, Mr. Hunter claimed that the act charged is not a violation of the act of Congress be cause the postoffice was not nsed as an in strument to effect the fraud. The act charged was not a part of the fraud, and was not applied to by the act ot Congress. A date for an argument of the application has not been fixed. , GEAND JTJET W0EK.

Interesting Statistics on the Extent of Ministerial Work. GLEANINGS FE01I CHURCH FIELDS Philadelphia is evidently the American Jerusalem of the Presbyterian church, as will appear from the following statistics presented by Eev. E, M. Patterson, editor of the Fretbyterian Journal, to the Presby terian preachers' meeting of Philadelphia this week. Next to Philadelphia Pittsburg stands in her devotion to Presbyterian the ology. When the difference in population, as between the Eastern and Western Penn sylvania metropolis is taken into account, it will admit of a doubt as to which is the strongest hold of Presbyterianism. In the paper presented to the Ministerial Associa tion of Philadelphia, according to reports given by the ledger ol that city, Dr. Pat terson furnished the following statistics culled from the General Assembly's min utes: "In 1790 there were in the whole country only 184 ministers; now, including the three organizations lineally descended from the Presbyterians, there are 8,983 ministers. In 1790 there were 435 congregations; the number now 12,070. The population of the United States then was under 4,000,000; now it is 64,000,000. The increase of population has been 16 fold, of churches 28 fold and of ministers 49 fold. The average congrega tion then consisted of 33 persons; now of 112. In 1790 there were not 15,000 Presbyterian communicants in the whole country; now there are 1,107,910. In 1798 the contribu tions amounted to ?1,397; in 1807, 54,641; in 1851, $1,056,000,' and the total last year was 516,847,075. There now in Philadel phia 32,941 Presbyterian communi cants, more than twice as many as were in the whole country in 1790. There are now in Philadelphia 3,000 more com municants than there were in the whole country in 1810, when the population was 8,000,000. There are four oities with a pop ulation of above 600,000, viz.: New York, Chicaco, Philadelphia and Brooklyn. In New York there are 55 churches and 23,000 communicants; in Chicago 9,164 communi cants. Tho Presbyterv of Chicago contains 69 cbnrches and 14,388 communicants. The number of commuuicants in Brooklyn is 16,580. With one-third less population than New York, Philadelphia contains one third more communicants. In this city the Baptists have 73 churches, with 23,306 com municants; the Episcopalians, 90 churches, with 28,221 communicants; the Methodist Episcopalians, 93 churches, with 29 823 communicants, and the Presbyterians 91 churches, with 32,941 " com municants. Four Presbyteries cover the counties of Chester, Delaware, Mont gomery and Philadelphia.

BYEits'METnoD op Treat menta Description of tse Antisep tic Spray Apparatus. ilt. Fred Ham, SiMan Street, City. Mr. Hans is employed at Jones fc taughlins' American Iron Works. For three jears ba had been troubled with his stomach and shortness of breath. Never had any sickness before. Trouble began with weakness and loss of appe tite. Wnen he came to Dr. Byers' office he was losing flesh rapidly, had cough moraine and evening, night sweats and the usual dys peptic trouble which follows sneb a train of symptoms, coated tongue, bad taste in the month in morning; bloating; and belching np of gas after eating, palpitation of the heart, dizziness, etc, etc. He was induced to try Dr. Byers through tbo testimony of a fellow workman in same mill. Mr. John Lewis, and was entirely relieved of all tbe troubles after thorough and systematic courses of treatment of five months. Tbe only unpleasant symptom he has left is an occa sional palpitation when he gets a bad cold, caused by an unusually irritabla heart, DR. BYERS' METHOD OF TREATMENT. A porcelain-lined cylinder, filled with purified coudensed air. by which the Doctor treats catarrh of tbe nose, throat and UDperair pas sages. Tbisair passes through a flexible tube, at tbo end of which there is a spray generator, formed of two glass tubes, one of which turns downward, and is inserted into a medicated fluid, wblcb the air sucks up in minuta quan tities and trajects out into the form of an atomized vapor. With a pressure of 20 pounds to the sqnare inch, it will throw a spray of four feet in lengtU and of considerable volume. This spray not only cleanses the inflamed mem brane of the viscid excretion wblcb collects on its surface, but deposits remedial agents upon tbe Irritated membrane, reduces tbe inflamma tion and sonthes it. This renders a cure much more speedy than can be effected by any other means, and leaves tbe parts fresh and clean after each application, thereby promoting the comfort of the patient during tbe progress of cure. DR. DYERS' CREDENTIALS. Dr. W. C. Byers 'Is ,a graduate of tbe Jeffer son Medical College of Philadelphia, 1873, as his diploma In office will show, and is regularly registered in tbe Allegheny County Medical Record.
