THE EPISCOPALIANS.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 24.-In the Episcopal
Convention, the Committee on the Com
mon Prayer Book reported that they do not
think it expedient to set forth any additional
service for the burial of such persons as
cannot be, because of the first rubric in the
service for the burial of the dead, buried
with that service. Adopted.
Four memorials on the following subjects
were reported on:
l. From sundry Presbyters, asking ca
nonical leave for any clergyman to
omit any words or passages in the Liturgy
which he believes, conScientiOusly, to be
contrary to the holy Scriptures, or to con-
tain a doctrine which he is persuaded can
not be proved thereby.
2. Asking, in consideration of the diff
culties entertained by many conscientious
men in regard to the language in the bap-
tismal that the view of the nine Bishops
be adopted.
3. Requesting the convention to deter
mine that wherever throughout the book of
Common Prayer the word priest is used, it
is to be understood as signifying a Presby-
ter, and as of equivalent meaning.
4. Petitioning for the restoration of the
canon repealed by the last general con-
vention, entitled, "Of persons not ministers
in this Church officiating in any congrega-
ton thereof"
The committee reported that they
deemed any action upon any one OF
them now [notl expedient to be adopted
The same committee reported that they
deemed any action looking to a change in
the PRAYER for the President as ineXpedient
also that in as much as any departure from
the standard edition ofthe book of common
prayer is now wholly unauthorized, III
further legislation is required, which were
I'D opted.
Ritual uniformity was debated un
til recess, the question being on mo
ton to postpone the whole subject indefin
itely. Among the speakers were judge
Shepley, of Virginia, Rev. DR.. Vinton, o
Massachusetts, and Rev. DR.. Craik, o
Kentucky.
A message was received from the HOust
of Bishops, that as this is the year for tin
semi-centennial anniversary of the Foreigl
| and Domestic Missionary Society of thi
| church, that collections be taken some tim
! during the year for the creation of audible
fund for the extension of the church a
home and abroad.
from the House of Bishops and concurre
in:
Resolved, that instead of the resolution
adopted by this house Oct. q, 1868, estat
fishing a missionary jurisdiction, this hous
does establish from and after Jan. /, 1877:
such jurisdiction with the following bour
darieS: On the east by the Missouri rive
on the south by the State of Nebraska, o
the north by the 40 degree Of north latitud
and the several Indian reservations on Il
left bank of the Missouri river north an
east of said river, and on the west by Il
1O4th meridian and the territories OF Wy
ming and Nebraska.
1t is understood the house of Bishol
passed the Canon on Ritual as reported
the Joint Committee, by a vote OF
= I to 10.
} Resolutions to admit representatives
! Missionary Jurisdictions were adopted.

THE DROUGHT FIRES.

MICHIGAN.
An Earnest Appeal for the Destitute.

DETROIT, MICH, Oct. Pain view of
the urgency of immediate and copious sup
plies from people outside of the State, the
following circular appeal to the people of
the United States has been issued by the
Michigan State Relief Committee:
To the People of the United States:
We need instant and plentiful aid. From
1900 to $1,000 at least in the State of
Michigan have lost their homes, food,
clothing, crops, horses and cattle. On the
night of the Chicago fire 1000 people on
the east shore of Lake Michigan and 5000
to 6,000 on the west shore of Lake Huron
were reduced TO almost absolute destitu-
ton. Within two or three weeks other
small villages and settlements have been
blotted out. The number of individual
farmhouseS, barns and frontier dwellings
which have been destroyed by the all-per
vading fire cannot, from want of informa-
ton, be accurately calculated. The aggre-
gate we know to be enormous. The fires
are still burning, and new ones spring up.
The area of ruin and devastation is
daily increasing. The intensity and dra-
matte magnifcence of the calamities which
have been overwhelming other cities and
NLisL8cS dIc ldChlllS ucIc, DuJ LlIC ollAlCl Is
exists. A long, hard, cold winter is ap-
preaching. Large numbers of these people
are accessible only by water, and navigation
will soon be closed. Scarcely month or
six weeks now remain in which to feed,
clothe and shelter them for the winter sea-
son, which extends far into the months of
spring. They must be helped now or they
will perish. They will need, too, in the
early spring, seed and implements for the
harvest of next year. The greater portion
of them must commence life entirely anew,
without preparation and at the beginning
of winter Their isolation from the cen
tres of commerce and the means of commu-
nication makes the problem of relief
more difficult and all the more urgent.
The people of Michigan have nobly respond
ed to the appeals which this misery has
made to their sympathy and generosity, but
they are severely crippled indirectly in their
business by the Chicago fire, and directly
by the assistance they gave to the sufferers
from that calamity before they were aware
of the demands which would be made on
them at home. Many of them too, have
lost their resources by the fires which have
occurred in this State. In their name, and
on behalf of the victims already known,
and of many whom we fear are yet I'M
known, We ask prompt aid, efficient aid
from our benevolent fellow-citizens every
where. Money and supplies may be sent
direct to the Michigan Relief Committee at
Detroit or Grand Rapids.

AN ANCIENT ANVIL.

In deserted shop in Pittsfeld, Massa-
chusetts, there rests on its block an anvil
that has done duty for more than three
hundred years. 1t is as sound to-day as it
was in 1858, when Eltweed Pomeroy, after
welding for the Stuarts the pOnderous
borse-shOes of the same style and pattern
that his ancestors had made during many
generations for the Tudors and Plantage-
nets, grew weary of taxes without law and
work without wages, and taking his anvil,
sailed for the New World. A deft work
man, he throve in the settlements, and left
his anvil as an heirloom to his descendants
They show you in the town of London the
anvil on which the sword was forged that
Richard Coeur de Lion used in his famous
contest with Saladin. 1.-The collection of
Pompeiian antiquities in Naples there is an
anvil, made certainly before the Christian
era, which had evidently done service for
the stalwart workmen of many generations
before the city was buried. But, better
still, in the Egyptian room of the British
Museum, there is veritable anvil Of the

Insurance Convention a resolution that a
provision for the amalgamatiOn ofsuch Life
Insurance Companies as desire to avail
themselves of it should be included in the
insurance laws of the several States, was
referred.
A resolution was offered and tabled
against any State excluding good compa-
MES from beyond its limits, or imposing
onerOuS requirements upon them, favoring
uniformity and reciprocity among compa-
MES, the charging of adequate premiums,
and laying aside in the day of prosperity of
extraordinary reserves against the hour of
adversely.
The report of the committee on miscella-
neous subjects, against a memorial to Con-
gress for the exemption of life policies from
the operation of the bankrupt law, and
against the establishment of Marine In
telligence office, was adopted.

States to enact that no policies be issued for
term extending beyond 70 years, was re-
feged.

fees and deposits was discussed till recess.

The Crusade against poIgamy.

SALT LAKE, Oct. 24.-In the Hawkins
case, this morning, the defendant asked to
be released for the reason that the verdict
was not in accordance with the statute, as
it failed to specify the nature and extent of
the punishment. The motion was over
ruled, and at the request of counsel SEN
tence was deferred till Saturday next.
The case of Sarah A. Cook VS.. Brigham
Young is still on trial. There is some ex-
element among Polygamists as to Hawkins
fate. The courtroom this morning was
thronged with women. Hawkins himself,
apparently wholly unconcerned, was re-
manded to prison at Camp Douglas.
The MormOns talk peace provided Brig
ham is not subjected to Imprisonment.
They say Brigham would submit, but his
followers will never allow it.
