[ RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION IN LONDON SCHOOLS.—Under the School Board Act of 1870 it was made optional with the various boards to give Bible instruction to the children in their Schools or to withhold- it. The School Board for London decided that Bible instruction should be given to every ehild in the schools of London. Hence, every day, in. every school, a portion of the Bible is read, with explanation suited to the capacity of the childre . Texts are conanaitted to memory, ve ses of simple hymns sung, and prayer -offered, with the 'children, by the resp nsible teach- er. That is to say, in 69q departments in t)Lie London schools, 18,000 children daily hear a portion of the Word of Go. . The attendance upon religious inst notion is perfectly voluntary, but is ney rtheless almost universal. Since 1876 yearly exarninatio s have been held in Soripture kno ledge, upon whieh the attendance a1sc has been vol- untary. In 1876, 42,000 children at- tended the examinations. In 1877 the nunaber examined rose td 84,000, and this year the number was 105,000. As a reward for profieiency ibles and Tes- taments are given to he successful competitors, of whicht is year over four thousand. were distri uted.—Chris- tian Union. ‘ - I MRS. TILTON'S CONenSS ON.—The Sun prints a story about Mrs. Tilton to the effect that she has taken essie Turner to live with her; that she, (Mrs. Tilton) enjoyed. greater peace of niind than ever before since her late conf ssion, and be- lieved she had obtained Iivine forgive- ness. She said - her h sband knew nothing of her confession, and that her determination to free censcience was brought about by heariing Beecher's sermon on the downfall of the forger Gilman, which she heard while attend- ing closely veiled. She says she has been offered $100,000 to ecture, which she refused, that there will be no Te- nni n with her husband, 3nd that she irte ds to prepare a history of her ex- perience with Beecher an4l leave it with her husband's friends, to he used. after her death.

Then he sank with his burden. All were drowded. CLAIMANTS TO THE REEbE ESTATE.— ISO. db.
