TE TRrcHISR The Illinois Academy of Sci
ence recently appointed a committee to inves-
.igat. the matter. The committee consisted
mainy of physicians, who, after patient and
tborSph examination, made the startling report
that richinae not only exists in Western pork,
hut tat it is more frequent than in Germany,
wher,its effects have been SO terrible on human
life. .....
Tbereport saws that cases Of trichinasis in the

most dagerous. Raw pork should never be
eaten many form Picking in brine does not

oughly,ooked, and not merely warmed through,
as mag people cook. The richinae is never
found the fat, but only in the lean meat. 1t
is mosIaumerous in tender-lOin and along the
back-bne. Trichinasis has produced death in
this cdntry, No doubt it has quite frequently
produtd sickness for day, or two days, or
nore;or even few of the worms eating through
the wills of the stomach must produce evil et-

Tired Negroes.

We extract tfollowing as Illustrative OF lie
way in which new system of freed blac5
paid labor win pbably work at the South, from
the Charleston rrespondeuce of the Bostonl
Journal:
To recur agailto the all-absorbing topic Of
the SOuth-thdtt the new system OF la6or-t
may be stated wuOut fear of contradiction that
the ord ratio OF itrease of the black population
has received dtided and permanent check.
As an evidence othis, innumerable facts, many
OF which | couldtatc, go TO show beyond Gll
doubt that there 81 widespread indifference to
the care and ever life of young children among
the colored peOph. When taken sick they often
have no physician. Indeed, the duties and o0ll-
cations Of parent totheir offspring are either
not understood u rot acknowledged. When
taken care Of by masters, the expense of children
was not felt bu new that they have to work
fJr themselves, these children are regarded as in
some sort a burden. Instances of this have
fallen under ny observation. Without ailuding
to them in particular, he following scenei which
actually took place ouly few days ago, VIII
serve 20 illustrate tie hardships whlcd thg
have before them in a large plumber Of cases. A
gentleman spoRe to his former servant as follows;
Now Tom, you aie free, you know, wha'are
you going to do'
"DonG know, Magsa John rather staywith
YOU"
Well, you Know, Tom, would rather have
you than any one else and TN wiling TO pay
as much asany body. How much Do you waHE
" Don't hnw, massa, can t earn much.
" Wet, suppose give you ten dgiiars month
and ratlOns! You know you Piways Jared as
well as my ownamily as to fOci.
Yes, Massa J,hi, perfectly Satshed call Il
ten.
- Now, Tom as your wife p
" oh, she work 10 wife work too
Well, how muh can she earn p
e Bout five dollrs.'
"Weu, I'll giyalcr seven. Is that right"
ayes. Masa Joauon, all right; that's enough"
"But how abouthe childreni who is to take
care of them? Thy re small, you know?"
Yes, can't ear muffin. must get somebody
to take EN- and pg, l sPose."
"Ycs, you'll hate 10 pay somebody. Now, sup
pose le! them stay here don t object to let
ting them play abOu the yard but tben, you
see. | cant afford . feed and clUtEe then for
nothing"
"Oh no; pay"
"Wen, suppose icharge ten cents day for
eachy'
"Oh. Massa Johncan't do it for dat it cost
more"
"Well. call it ten There are seven Of them,
YOU know, That seventy cents day, and
there are thirty day in the month. That is S2l
per month So yo see you'll have to pay me
four dollars mona over and above the wages
of you and your wife,
"Don't know nuin bout desc ere new tings.
Let me keep right n as it was afore."
Now, ten or twdve dollars month here is
making labor, considering quality and amount,
about as expensive as labor is at the present
time at the North If it should be found that
white labor, as, foIinspince, that Of foreign i'm
migrants, suceeedshefe, after trial on the low
cotton lands of The coast, the black race will
gradually but sturdy fade out, and in the course
of time become we'll nigh extinct. Serious Hs
this view of the csse may appear, it is sure to
come, and that in 10 long time hence.

BREAcH OF PROMISE CAsE.-There was a suit
for breach of marriage promise tried before the
Superior Court at Barnstable, Mass, short time
ago, that was particularly funny. Miss Emily
Harrison, mailen of twenty summers, sued
Noble P,SWift, butcher, aged fOrtysfve,i because
the said butcher refused TO perform oft-repeated
promise to make her, the said Emily his lawfnl
wife. Some of the evidence indicated that Emil
ly's mother had much more to do with the mat
ter than the dAm.el herself. 1t was admitted by
both sides thatthe match was broken off because
Emily wonld not consent to 'drop' her family
after the twain were made one flesh. The Oppres-
sed butcher testified that be never should have
thought OF such thing as courtiug Emily if her
mother had not repeatedly urged him to do so,
beginning her opportunities only three weeks
after the death Of his first wife, and urging him
to take Emily for the second. Mrs. Harrison
testified that Swift, becoming sick of the bargain
by which he was to obtain the band Of the fair
Emily, sent his hired man, one Daniel Cotter, to
act the part of John Alden in the courtship of
Miles Standish but Cotter sturdHy denied this,
and averFed that Mrs Harrison invited him (the
hired mani to occupy the shrine in her daugh-
ters heart made vacant by the apostacy of the
wicked butcher. Altogether, the testimony left
the case in a very :. mixed y condition, which
was not simplifed by evidence that within three
weeks after the engagement was declared ''of ~
between Swift and Emily, the latter susceptible
creature , fell in love with one Arthur T. Hotch-
kiss, and wrote him many epistles of the order
known as love-etters. These letters were read
in Court and amused bench, bar, jury and spec
tators hugely Here are some extracts az As to
the butcher, heis dead to me, hereafter" al
esteem you, more than any gentleman 1 ever
knew" when asked you il you didn't wish
you were IN heaven sucking oranges, you said,
No, you were perfectly happy" The enlighten-
ed jury deliberAted on this case through the
night but we're unable TO agree upon averdict.

ANNUAL CONFERENCE, M. 3.
CHURCH SOUTH
SIXTH DAYS PROCEEDINGS.

'syf - H
The Conference was in secret session this
morning until half-past twelve o'clock. When
the doors were thrown open, the Committee
appointed to wait on the President Of the Uni
ted States, and communicate to HIM the resolu-
tions adopted by this Conference, having per
formed their labor, reported, through their
Chairman, Rev. n. Wilson, that they had had
q most Interesting and pleasing interview with
the President, who had entertained them very
kindly to the exclusion Of other important bust
ness. .",.: #E.
The Committee had laid before the Presi-
dent the case of the churches of this Conference
which had ieen taken possession by the MILL
tary, aud a rumor that this seizure was IN &C
/ cordance with an or1erissued by the President.
The President said that there was no such order
that he knew Of. The Committee promised
the President a written statement of the facts
in regard to the church property and the posi-
ton of this Conference.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Wilson'S report,
Hon. John Hogan, NJ. G. from the State Of
Missouri, who had accompanied the Commit
tee in the visit to their White House, rose and
substantiated the statements of Mr.. Wilson,
dlu StaUSu luIlICl IliRt LII q ODnHClNdllOH 1e
the President, Mr.. johnson had uDhesitatingly
said that no such order as the one referred to
had eminated from him, He referred to an
order from the War Department that had been
issued relating to a Church in Winchester, tut
that it had been directed to Gen. Hancock, to
investigate the facts and make report, and
thought that it had been satisfactorily adj
iusted. MrssHogan, referred 10 the case OF a
Church in Missouri, 10 which the President
had directed an investigation to be made; and
the facts reported to him, for adjustment, and
stated that the policy Of the President YVES to
restore the rights of all loyal people, and leave
future questions to be settled by the Courts,
after the parties shall have been placed III the
status that they occupied prior to the difficult
ties.
Mr.. Roszell stated that the President had
received the COMMITTEE With great kindness:
and returned his thanks to the Conference fer
their kind remembrance.
Avote of thanks to Mr.. Hogan for his sell
vices was adopted.
DIR. Bond, al~o of the committee, made some
remarks in reference to the visit OF the Presl-
dent, and spoke hopefully of the future pros
poets. .@ III
On motion the same committee were in-
structed TO prepare q statement OF facts IN re-
lation to the Churches in the bounds OF the
Conference that >iiave been seized. TO be for
warded to the President for his action.
r. H. Elliott, Of Nd, was examined by the
Bishop and admitted on trial IN the travelling
connection, after which Conference was ad
journed with a bcnediction till 3o'clock this
evening, when it meets again with closed doors.
