Yherr the lady was on the witness- stand, her
story, the Chronicle says, "was given with won
derfulveloclty "ofj '. tongue and coiisldetable
dramatic force, and was 'spiced throughout with
"fiarcaHtlc allusions and personal hits at Mr. Rob
ert. which considerably enlivened" the proceed

.. THE CLERGY. X DHKH WATEK.
Mrs. Cooper was put through a long. course of
exanlnatlMta to her beliefs, extending from the
. fall of man to ihe doctrinal teaching of Bt. .Paul.
Upon each of the Old Testament accounts she was
aked whether she accepted them as allegorical or
. lite i&il historical statements of actual occurrences.
This drew out a long discussion by themembers
jut the Presbytery, eliciting thefaet that even the
ministers did not agree, and general acknowl
edgment that they were getting Into waters
beyond thelr'depth..
THE RESt'LT.
' The Presbytery referred the matter back to
Calvarj' Church Hession for further consideration,
if the complainant desires, he having said he was
not accorded a sufficient hearing. It Is thought
he will not bring the case up a second time, as
the lady ha proved too worthy a foe. She Is up-
. held by the pastor of the. church,' Rev. Mr. Hemp
hill, and a number ef other ministers, and If she
Is guilty of lieresy; they are also. . If the case Is
1 tressed, the chances are good for a big division,
n the meantime, ths little woman teaches her
Rlble class "holds the fort."
-iAt a recent ball given by the prince and Prin
cess of Wales, the Princess Fredrica wore a mag
nificent dress of white Ilsse, trimmed with gold
Turkish embroidery, the gift of the HulUn. The
skirt was made of flounces of embroidery,' edged
. with dark old Valenciennes ; the train was covered
with veils of crepe llsse and gold, fastened with
lMuquets of magnolias and gold flowers ; the body
waa trimmed with embroidery and lace, held by
uiamona stars; lace ana goiu scan m la lurque,
diadem of gold flowers and diamond stars worn In
the hair, splendid necklace of Chartons, and stars
of diamonds. , ,. "
