JUST MEN MADE PERFECT.-For some two or three
years past, cert ain preachers and laymen of the
Methodist Protestant church, living in the North
ern and Western States, being troubled concerning
the sin of slavery, have been ''agitating." A con-
vention was called, which has been in session at
Springfield, Ohio, and on Saturday last the follow
ing resolution adopted by vote of 10 to q
Resoved, That indsputabe facts, the inductions
of sound logic, the dictates of Christian prudence
and enlightened sense of duty to God and man.
justify and warrant this convention in the of
the several Annual Conferences herein represented
to declare all official connection cooperation,
and official fellowship with and between said Con-
erences and such Conferences and Churches, with
in the Methodist Protestant Association as practice
or tolerate slave-hoding and slavetrading as spe
CITED in said memorial, to be now and forever
| pended.
| Provision was afterward made for the compila
tion of new Hymn Book in conjunction with the
| Wesleyan denomination, and Committees appointed
to take steps for union with the Weseyans, and to
choose between Cincinnati and Pittsburg as loca-
ton for the "Methodist Protestant" newspaper.
| TOBACCO SMUGGLING IN SPAIY.-The quantity of
| tobacco consumed in Spain, its value, and number
of smokers, is altogether difficult account to ad-
just with the poverty of the revenue from this
source. Some close estimates have been made, and
| the Tuelor, which, perhaps, is the very best au-
thority for matters of this sort in the country, has
devoted several articles to the subject 1t is claimed
| that there no less than three millions of smok-
ers in the country, who value of not less
than Sl6 400 900, the full profit on which is about
81, ,l00, 600, making difference of SO 800 600, of
! which no Government officer has knowledge or
keeps account From the returns rendered in 1885,
there appears to have been sold in that year II ;
100000 pounds of tobacco, the cost of which rises
to SO 100 900, which is but small part of that ac
tuay consumed, according to official data. This,
with the fact that the great mass of the article
| elaborated costs on an average from fifteen to
twenty five cents the pound at the factory suggests
the question What has become of the 50, 800 900
| There is but one answer-there can be no other;
the greater part, and nearly all, goes to support
| the contraband trade, since the amounts admitted
by special permissions, are so small as not to be
worth taking into account.

MAIL ROBBERS ARREsrED.-The Cincinnati Ga
zette says:
During the past two or three months several let
ters and packages containing money have been
missed from the mail on the route between Wash
ingtOn, the county seat of Fayette county, and CO.
lumbus. Complaint was made to the PostOffce De-
partment, and VIM. S. V. Prentiss Special Mail
Agent, was commissioned to investigate the matter
Going to Washington, he despatched decoy pack
age, containing between forty and fifty dollars in
bills, half dollar in silver, and then followed it up
along the route. After the mail passed the Postotfce
at Dgtf's Forks, Fayette county, the package was
found to be missing.
Mr.. Prentiss Immediately returned to DuH's
Forks, and calling upon the Postmaster, W. A.
Phelps, demanded the package. He Indignantly
denied all knowledge Of it, but the agent insisted
that the money had been taken at that office FL
nally, daughter of the Postmaster, aged about
fifteen years, acknowledged that the package had
been taken by her and her sister Sarah, and re-
stored portion of the money not already spent.
The latter was then called in and accused of the
robbery, but she repelled the insinuatiou with an
air of confidence quite beyond her years. The
younger sister, Jennie, finally said, ffYou know
Sarah, you are just as guilty as | am This in
duced full confession OF all the robberies commit
ted by these young girls. but the father denied any
connection with them. The total amount taken is
supposed to be about $500, and the money has been
spent by The girls in buying furniture for the house,
and articles of dress.
A writ was issued by United States Commits
soner of this city, and placed in the hands of De-
putty Marshal Bell, who arrested the father and
daughters upon the charge of robbing the mail
They arrived in this city last evening, and were
handed over to Marshal Sifford, who kept them
under charge of an officer at the Dennison House
last night. They will be examined before Com
missioner this morning.
Mr.. Phelps, the father, is man nearly sixty
years of age, and owns farm of 14O acres where
he resides He has always stood very well in the
community previous to this charge. We perceive
by the Blue Book that his Office last year yielded
him a revenue of So! The daughters are quite
pretty and intelligent, and in their mourning ha-
biliments their mother having died about year
ago. they appear very interesting.

land enurng in that State under the act of May
18th, 1856, to aid in the construction of rail,
roads This grant is applicable to the road
extending from Fernandina, on the m atlantic,
of the most important railroads probably
in the extreme south. A considerable por-
tion of it has been in operation for more
than year past; and it is expected that the entire
road will be completed and put in working order as
early as the lst of January next. At both its ter
mini there are said to be good harbors; and it is
confidently believed that the Improvement will lib
orally compensate the public spirited gentlemen
who originated and constructed it. Mr. Yuee, one

The Newark N. j. Daily Mercury saws:
The President has appointed VIM B. Rankin, Of
Philadelphia, to the Regstershp Of the Land Office
at Olympia Washington Territory. He is the
President of the Keystone Cuban association
somewhat similar to the Empire Club of Capt.
Rynders-made up of bruisers and strikers and
bhoys, and besides being a doubtful character,
HIMSELF he is entirely destitute of the quali6ca-
tions requisite for the faithful discharge of the
official trust which has been committed to his
hands. Some of the Democratic papers speak of
the selection as the most disgraceiul that could
have been made.

lecture at the Cooper Institute, New York on Tues
day night, expressed his belief that the difficulty
experienced in working the cable was owing to some
defects which were caused by its exposure to the
great heat OF the sun while it lay coed last year
in the factory at Greenwich, England. Twenty
miles of this wire found, examination to be
so faulty that they had to be rejected and as other
defects had since been found by Mr. Tiffany, in cut
ting up that portion of the cable which he pur-
chased, he had no doubt that the difficulty was at
tributable to the cause he had named. lie was,
therefore, of opinion that the present cable would
never be worked; but the enterprise could not
therefore justly be regarded failure, as the
practicablity has been fully established The cable
had been laid the mechanical difficulties in the way
fthe undertaking overcome, and the line itself had
been successfully worked through. When all this
was accomplished, no one could doubt that the
work would be again undertaken and persevered
in until complete and final success was achieved.

A Dubuque paper says that ball was recently
which a certain young girl was invited. whom the
other girls of the house bedeced for the OCCASION;
that at this ball a beau became cnamored of her,
and danced with her during the entire evening;
that the ball breaking up at rather late hour, she
was invited to sleep with her working companions
in the hotel, she having been in the habit Of return
ing home to her mother every evening after her la
bors were ended; that she complied with the invita-
ton, and slept with two of the girls all night and
that in the morning the young girl was found to be
boy! From subsequent inquiries, it was ascer-
tanned that the mother had suggested this costume
to her son for the purpose OF enabling him to get
employment, which he was unable to do when wear
ing the biurcated costume.
