From the old woman l learned how
that Marie Oppenheim had returned TO
Heidelberg some months after l had
left for England, bringing with her
little baby, whom she idolized. The
sweet mother had died but g few months
back, and here was the little one on
the grave of Ita mother and father, a.
yet hardly old enough to know the real
bitterness Of its loss.
The child took to ms in d wonderful
manner. I=taid at Heidelberg for some
weeks, and the little one would not al
low herself to be for Il moment out OF
sight. The consequence was that, when
I returned to England, I brought her
with'me, and it was given out when
came down here that I was widowgr
with an only child. This, my dear

THE LARGEST CIRCULATION
OF Any Daily Published in East Tennessee

We gave i'll our article of Tuesday
morning some exceedingly valuable and
useful points as to the impression made
upon Northern minds by comparing the
advantage East Tennessee presents over
Northern States as an agricultural section.
This brings usagain to enforce what we adj
vocated few days ago, that the great hope
Of our country was in an improved system
of farming. We can never develop our
immense mineral resources without more
profitable system of agriculture. We need
more farms and better worked farms. We
need better roads and better farm equip
ments. We are behind the times in these
respects and we cannot hope to advance
rapidly OF. securely unless we begin at the
foundation. Let our farmers begin the
work.

HORACE WHITE, the managing editor
of the Chicago Tribune, says if Trumbull
is not nominated at Cincinnati the Con-
vention will be failure. He is in Cincin-
natl wire-working for his chief. He
knows how to pull the ropes. He worked
his way into the chief editorial chair of
the Tribune by combination with other
stockholders, and now treats like dog his
predecessor, Joe Medill, the present popu-
lar Mayor of Chicago, and the man who
made the Tribune what it is. Medill owns
within fraction of half-intereSt in the
Tribune, and yet has no voice or influence
in its management.
White singled out Medill for abuse when
the latter was in the State Constitutional
Convention, end treated him shamefully.
By dishonorable combination he now
has control of powerful newspaper, built
up by the genius and enterprise of the
man who is now unable to dictate line
in its columns. We think White just the
man to abuse Grant and run Liberal
Convention.

The METHODIST GENERAL CONFERENCE.

The assembling of the General Confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
at Brooklyn, NY, on yesterday is an in
teresting event in the history of Ameri-
can Methodism. 1t is interesting on ac-
count of the numerical Importance of the
membership represented, of the import
ance of the questions to be decided, and be-
cause this is the first General Conference
Of that church to which lay delegates
were admitted,
This is the twenty-second General Con-
ference, counting that of 1884, at which
time the church was organized as dis
tinct denomination. At that time the
church numbered in America about 10 900
members with eighty-four preachers. The
church was organized at Balti-
more in that year, by Bishop Coke,
who had been ordained by Wes-
ley as Superintendent, or Bishop of
the American Work. At the same session
of the conference held at Baltimore,
Francis Asbury was elected and ordained
Bishop. Until 1872, the General Confer
ence was composed of all the ministers of
the various annual conferences. At that
time the membership had reached nearly
100000 with 678 preachers, and the Cen
eral Conference was composed of delegates
elected by the annual conferences, which
custom still prevails.
The question of Lay Delegation agitat-
ed the church for many years, unusual
ability and zeal having been displayed on
both sides of the controversy. The meas
ure has been steadily growing in favor.
however, both among preachers and
people, and has finally been carried bv q
majority, approaching unanimity.
Since the last General Conference. the
church has been agitated with charges.
coming from high source, of serious ir-
Irregularities in the management of the i'm
mense Book Concern at New York. The
charges have been investigated, and we
presume the Conference will sift the mat
ter to its foundation. 1t is to be hoped so,
at least, and should it prove true that such
irregularities have been practiced, it is to
be hoped that they will be jealously guard
ed against in the future.
At its organization, the present Confer
Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1872-05-02

ence will be composed of 272 ministerial
delegates, elected from y Annual Confer
ences throughout the United States, India,
Germany and Liberia, representing 10000
preachers and 100000 laymen. When
the lay delegates are admitted, which Will
be in day or two, the body will consist of
421 members.
One of the duties devolving upon this
Conference will be the election of Bishops
It is thought that the Conference will de-
eide to elect either six or eight Bishop,
though some of the leading church papers
advocate the choice of only four. Since the
last Conference met, four Bishops, all but
one in the vigor of manhood, have died,
and it is generally believed that overwork
had something to do with their death.
With this fact in view, it is probable that
a larger number than four will be chosen.
Since the arrival of Bishop Coke in this
country twenty Bishops have been elected
and ordained. Two of these went off
with the Southern Church, one, Bishop
Hamline, resigned on account of health,
and twelve have died. Only five remain
Morris, James, Scott, Anes and Simpson.
! Bishop Morris has been unable for active
work for many years, and Bishop Scott
will probably retire in a measure from the
work -.-.- .a.

THERE has not been a gathering for
years Influenced more thoroughly by poll
ticidns than the present convention at Gin
cinnati. Most of the delegates are politi-
clans and large proportion of them poll
ticians that have their personal grievances
to influence their acts. The convention
will therefore be Unanswered by politi-
clans. We see from our exchanges that on
Monday a conference was held between
Horace White, David Wells and other lead
ing free traders and Senator Fenton as the
representative of the Protectionists. We are
told that these men could doubtless "con-
clude upon an amicable settlement of their
differences" But what woul@ such a set
Element amout to? Would the grimy,
hard-fsted, iron workmen of Pennsylva-
mia, who believe a protection tariff is lfec-
essary to protect them against the pauper
labor of England, be content with what an
old political dodger like Fenton might
bargain for? What they want is protec-
ton, and no fool resolutions that may
mean free trade i'll Missouri, or protection
in Pittsburgh will satisfy them. Here then
is the first plank built by the politicians.
When we come to look at the struggle
for the nominees, it is the battle of the po-
liticians. They represent every shade of
political belief, from the original Adolf
ZIONIST of New England to the Bourbon
States Rights men of the South. Their
only ambition is to beat Grant. They will
find in few days that this is not as easy
as they seem now to think. The people,
and not the noliticianS will settle that

A Few sheep on the Farm.

The relative profit is much greater
from small crop than a large one
The grain farmer. no matter, how few is
acres, can make money by keeping a few
sheep. There is always room for them
somewhere and they consume and turn
into money food that would otherwise
waste. But be must be careful. not to
overatock. To illustrate, suppose the
farmer cultivate only eighty acres, rais-
ing grain chiefly. He keeps few cows
and the necessary teams. One fifth
of mis- farm is in pasture, one-ffth
meadow; one planted, one Spring grain,
and one wheat. He thinks.he has as
much stock as he can proftably keep,
but if he puts on one sheep to every FIVE
acres. re will find their products clear
gain. In the Spring early, they can
run on the sod which is to be planted,
and one sheep to each acre will not
hurt the land, yet they will live we'll
otter that they can 60 into the pasture,
and will lean after the COWS to advan-
tage. A run on the stubbles after har-
vest will not be felt where. each ...sAeep
has two acres, and IN the Fall there is
plenty of feed. Though the Winter
they can be well kept on what the other
stock would not consume with the ad-
dillon of little grain Probably the
most profitable are some of the coarser-
wooded mutton. breeds. Their lambs sell
to the butchers for high prices. and when
fat, the sheep fetch as much as yearl-
ing steer. Sixteen mutton sheep well
managed, would produce yearly in
come of 500. where. if none were kept,
nothing would be realized. The greatest
drawback is liability to loss by dogs and
