ALLOY FOR BULLETs.--In the explorations
Of the Nile Tributaries of Abyssinia, oy Sir s.
W. Baker, is me following:
81 made bullets for the journey with ad-
mixture of one pound of quicksilver to twelve of
lead. This hardens the bullet at the same time
that it increases the weight; but great caution
must be observed in the manufacture as the
mercury being heavier than the lead, will sink
to the bottom unless stirred with red-hot iron
when mixed. The admiXture must take pl Ace
in small quantities, otherwise the quicksilver
will evaporate if exposed to great heat Thus
the molten lead shosld be kept upon the fire in
large reservoir, while portion of quicksilver
should be added regularly to every ladle full
taken FOR immediate use. This should b we'll
stirred before it is poured into the mould. Bull

THE HoRsE.-The front of the horses chest
contains his lungs, by which he breathss. Be-
hind them, separated only by thin kind of skin,
is the stomach, destined to receive and digest the
food. Each of these organs becomes larger when
in use the lungs occupying more room whom
the animal is moving about and breathing more
quickly.-The space they occupy is then so filled
that only one of them can be distended at time.
The horse can swell out his lungs and breathe
hard, trot or gallep, provided his stomach be emp
ty; he can Eli it with safety when at rest, or
nearly So till the food is digested But if they
are both full, the greatest danger is to be apprs
hended the horse is to be "blown" almost i'm
mediately, because he has no room to breathe,
and apoplexy may cause the animal to drop down
dead in minute No horse should be allowed
to get an unlimited supply of food. A proper
quantity should be given and no m0re--enough
to satisfy his requirements. and to allow proper
time for him to digest it. Many horse has been
killed from fit brought on by the csrn-bin hav-
ing been left open at night thus giving him an
opportunity to gorge himself to death with the
tempting food London Horse Book.

Methodist Episcopal General Conference
Impeach ment Quest ton,

IMPEACHMENT Question.
The General Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. composed of nine bishops
and 2t2 delegates, representing q church of
more than eleven hundred thousand members
cago, on Friday adopted the following pre.
amble and resolution:
whereas there Is now pc nding in the Senate
OF the United States the most important Ques-
uon which has ever engaged its attention; and
whereas the evidence and pleadings in this
case have been fully spread before the people,
so tnat all may form an enlightened opinion;
and whereas we are deeply impressed that upon
Its rightful decision will largely depend the
safety and prosperity of our nation. as well as
the religious privileges of our ministers and
members in many parts of the South; and
whereas painful rumors are In circulation that
partly by unworthy jealousies and partly by
corrupt influences, pecuniary and otherwise,
most actively employed, efforts are being made
to influence Senator'S improperly, and to pre-
vent them from performing their high duty;
therefore.
Resolred, That we hereby appoint an hour of
prayer from nine to ten O'Clock a. m, to-mor-
row to invoke humbly and earnestly the mercy
OF God upon our nation, and beseech him TO
save our Senators from error, and to so infiu-
ence them that their decision shall be in truth
and righteousness, and shall increase the secu-
r1ty and prosperity OF our beloved Union.
In the Conference yesterday. Rev. M. Mahon,
OF Indiana, proposed new form for solemniz-
ing matrlmony. Rev. A Brunson, of Wiscon-
sin, offered resolution In favor of changing
the month and year in which the General Con-
ference is held; referred. Bishop Simpson laid
before the Conference a communication from
the Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian
Church, concerning the omission of ali recog.
milton OF the Supreme Being and Divine Prov
idence in the Constitution Of the United States
referred.
Petitions, with large mum bers Of signers, from
Detroit, Cincinnati, Knoxville, Baltimore, Illi-
nols, Wisconsin, Central German Conference,
and one from Daniel Drew, with four thousand
signatures, in favor of lay representation, were
presented. Conference adjourned until Mon =
day.

THE MUNICIPALELECTIUN.

w Clyosicle Of this morning . pretended edi-
iolisl, concerning meeting Of the Third Ward.

meeting is calculated to DO harm to the party
j wish to stste that this call for meeting was
signed by lsrg.r plumber of the best citizens Of
the Third Ward. than the whole number Of white
men telopgipg to the Third Ward Club.
The only object In calling this meeting, wss to
enable ell the Republicans of the Ward To en- press
themselves in regard 20 their ard officers This
has never been the case. aod the Ward club, which
seems to me to be organized to secure petty ofaces
matters OF the Ward.
The articles referred to states that all partic-
mate whether they belong to the club or not This
Is entirely untrue. tried myself again and again
last "wednesday to have the club allow all the Re.
publicaps of the Ward to partici pate in matter
important to all, and not only nv effort, but that
OF others was cried down by the CHAIR aud HIS sup
porters.
The ruling spirit of tbs meeting declared that
AL keDub leans who did not, and would not sign
the constitution of the Club, were unworthy of
confdt nee and should be consider cd CO pperheads
IL seems to me that the Republicans OF the Third
Ward do net wish to be bullied into the behests of
men OF this character 10 charged by all parties
that the result Of these Ward Clubs Is the
Of men unfit for the of1ees to which they elect

THE IONS EQUENCES OF ACQUITTAL.-Some
OF the Republican papers, arguing upon the
assumption OF the aequittal of the President,
maintain that the law of compensation applies
TO the Impeachment trial as IT does to mos, of
the affairs OF he, and that the advantages Of
aoquittal would not inure altogether to Mr..
job nson.
A verdict Of acquittal, it is held, would in
the nrst place haze the effect TO unite and con-
solidaie the Republican party. 1t would pro-
ouee somewhat such an influence on the party
as the nrst Bull Run did on the loyal masses OF
the North 1t would enkindle bitter, resolute
determined partisan feeling. the strong current
OF which would drown minor jealousies and
PERSONAL chickering's.
The New York Sun thinks the feeling thus
engendered would concentrate upon General
Grant, and would carry him into the White
House en- the crest of its wave. II would give
to the Republican party the vast advantage of
feeling of enthusiasm, in which it is at pres
EFT deficient.
Another consequence Of acquittal would be
an increased confidence among the Conserva-
lives in the prudence, discretion. and stability
Of the Republican party.
Let the Republicans, says the sun, therefore,
take comfort in the probability that the wind
from aequittal may blow them more good than
1t will TO their opponents.
