TIE LIFE OF 5oas mssa1Y l. b he R
Through r. B. Mohun & Co
This is the concluding volume of what We
have heretofore had occasion to pronounce the
best life yet written of the great founder of the
Methodists. The work Is perhaps open to the
charge Of being bulky, bat it is interesting
throughout, and it will doubtless take a high
place in the estimation of all lovers of theolog.
zeal biography, whether members of the Meth
odist church or net. The value of the work is
considerably enhanced by full and compre-
hensive index,-a feature that will be appre-
ciated by all.

This book contains nearly all the old favor
ties, together with many new pieces, serious and
amusing, in prose and verse, which have re-
eeived the stamp of popularity, though they
have not heretofore been collected together in

been needed, and this can hardly fail to be in
large demand with both teachers and students

The Mercantile Library reading-room in
New York was opened yesterday for the first
time on Sunday, and will be opened every Sun
day, hereafter. from to Q p. m. These hours
were fixed to avoid settling up the library in
opposition 10 the churches by making a question
between church and library. Most people are
satisfied with going to church once dsy. and
the library will not be opened until after
the principal service in all the churches is
closed The New York World says: Those
whom the opening Of the libraries will mainly
beneht are those who even in default OF
library would not go to church. but would
either commune with their own hearts and in
their Own chamber and be still and a nuisance
TO themselves, or would go out into the high
ways and iRebriate themselves and be noisy and
a nuisance to other people"

New York is full of trouble. There were
twenty new cases OF small pox in that city-a
large increase-on Saturday, and seven deaths:
the spotted fever Is on the increase; the croton
water is impure, leading to fears of visit from
the cholera; and the street contractor, one
Brown, allows disgusting heaps of filth to
accumulate In the thoroushfares and spread
their foul odors broad cast. Desperate diseases
require desperate remedies, and the Bulletin
suggests as the only effectual cure for the inef-
cheney which is running the city, the radical
measure OF hanging two or three street cleaning
commissioners, and shooting the contractor.

The republican national convention will meet

The republican national convention will meet
in Philadelphia just three weeks from Wednesday
next. Thus far twenty-five states have elected
delegates TO the convention, these states casting
81 electoral votes in the grand total OF 80. The
conventions of the following Twenty-Five states
either formally Endorsed the denomination of
General Grant for the Presidency, or in set
terms instructed their delegates to cast their
votes for him in the national convention
California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, In
diana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts,, Minnesota,
Mississippi, New Hampshire, North Carolina,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont
Virginia, Wisconsin. These twenty-five states
cast 200 electoral votes, and will be rem
resented by ii2 delegateJ in the con-
ventiOn, which will consist of III dele
gates, 35S votes being required to nominate.
IL will thus be seen that if there was any or
caniZed opposition to the denomination of
President Grant inside the party, after those
who have embarked in the Cincinnati move
ment are Z" counted out" the question of his
denomination is definitely settled by the action
of the state conventions as above set forth, even
if no other state delegates should be instructed
TO vote for him. The three states whose con-
ventions did not instruct their delegates were
Connecticut, Missouri and South Carolina. 1t
was understood at the time the convention was
held in Connecticut, in January last, that the
delegation was almost unanimously in favor of
Grant; and the Missouri convention pledged
the party of the state to support the nominee of
the convention, which was about equivalent to
endorsing Grant. In South Carolina only was
there any discernible lukewarmness in the
Grant interest. OF the twelve states yet to hold
their conventions, the most, if not all, Of them
will probably instruct their delegates to vote for
Grant Only thirteen of the twenty-five states
mentioned above pronounced in favor of any
particular candidate for the Vice-Presidency

Why RELIGIOUS PArERs DON'T PAY,
The fact that nearly all the religious
papers in the country sink money from
one years end to tho other, furnishes
to the Oakland NcHs occasion for a
thoughtful article rs to the cause. 1t de-
clares that the religious papers are too
religious, too UNCONVENTIONAL. They
display no sympathy and hardly any
endurance for other Christian deromi-
nations, and behave like q couple ofill-
conditioned, jealous disciples flying
from the wrath to come and scowling
upon one another. Our friend of the
Occidsnt Is probably concientious in
the belief that none but the elect can
be saved, and he of the Adrocate hates
the Pope worse than he abhors the
devil. All this of course seems unrea-
sonable and ridiculous to tho intelli-
gent people of the world, and they
take no pleasure in reading and will
not subscribe for journals which are SO
universally pervaded by the ghostlier
and more austere aspect Of Christian
ity. The public weary Of their
theological dogmas. eternal exhorta-
ton, and unfaiIing fire and birthstone.
They lack variety, there Is no cheer
fulness In them, and instead of walking
abroad in the glad sunshine, the good
editors sit under the shadow Of some
extinct Sinai, telling Of the awful
thunderings and lightnings which ex-
plrel forever when the gentle Star OF
Bethlehem beamed upon the austere
and frowning heights.
The Nens Is not tar from right.

The Peruvian Government proposes
a railroad IA, 900 feet above the water.
It will connect different parts Of the
country by railway and steamboats, the
former going, over the main ridge and
valleys of the Andes at an elevation OF
$4,000 above the level Of the sea, or ~
900 feet higher than the highest point
on the Sierra Nevada crossed BY the
Central Pacific Railroad. This eleva-
ton is within 1000 feet Of perpetual
snow. Edward IL. Spaulding, OF
Bloomfield, New Jersey, for four years
assistant engineer on the Montpelier
Railway, sailed recently for Peru In
company with some Of our best Ameri-
can engineers, who have been selected
to accomplish this difficult undertake
ing. The railroad goes from Peru to
Areauipa, 40 miles thence to Puno,
on Lake Titicaca, 800 feet above tide
water. Lake Titlcaca Is partly In
Peru, and is one of the principal sour
ces OF the Amazon. which Is navigabie
for nearly 1000 miles. The combined
railway and steamboat communication
will cross the continent at its widest
point. Mr.. Meiggs, the contractor,
has had contracts in that country
amounting to over 800, oOo.O 900. Our
American styles Of cars and rolling
stock will be introduced on:that rail-
way, and thus add another triumph to
II American manufactures.

The New York jewellers are protest
Ing against the passage Of an Act to
regulate their trade, which, 1t is esti-
mated, amount, to $25. 900, 900 a year.
A bill before the New York Legisla-
ture proposes that all articles made OF
gold under fourteen carats fine, and all
silver ware having more than one-tenth
alloy, shall be stamped as "composi-
tion." This bill, If it becomes a law,
will, it is feared, drive a considerable
share Of the trade Of manufacturing
low-priced jewelry and plated silver
ware to Pennsylvania and New Jer-
sey, while the effect Of the measure
would be to destroy the business, as no
person would be willing to wear rings
and other ornaments, or to use forks
and spoons bearing the offensive word
composition" 1t is also claimed
that the law will not prevent rogues
from selling brass jewelry to unwary
purchasers at the price Of gold.

The milk question has lately been
attracting great attention in Boston,
and various means have been sugges-
ted for obtaining a pure article. Tho
ANALYTICAL chemist of the Board OF
Health, however, has recently pub
lished a statement that the adulterated
milk was not injurious. He reports
that he has analysed samples Of all the
milk declared within the last three
years to be adulterated, and has not
found any deleterious ingredients. In
over one hundred samples examined,
water, salt, bicarbonate Of soda and
burned sugar were found to be the only
foreign substances contained In the
milk. The Boston analytical chemist
SAYS that the reports Of the New York

confirm his statements, and nc asserts
that Sleeps brains, chalk, flour and
starch are not practically employed
for, nor are they adapted to the adul-
teration Of milk.

AMONG the recent reforms in tn

AMONG the recent reforms in the
French army is the Introduction OF a
new overcoat for the infantry officers.
The new garment Is far less snowy
than the old o~vercoat, which was very
costly, and rendered the officers much
TOO conspicuous in action. The new
regulation dress has been adopted In
imitation OF the system followed In
the German army Of asslmilating' rs
far as possible. the appearance OF the
officers and privates. The Germans
say that officers In gaudy dress offer
an easy mark for the enemy, and there
fore are shot down at the precise mo-
ment when their leadership and skill
are most required. The officers Of the
German army consequently wear SO
simple a uniform rs to be perfectly
undistingulshable from the common
soldiers ut a hundred yards distance.
Their head-dress Is the same "picSel
haube" or pike helmet Us mat worh
by the privates, and their overcoats
are precisely Of the same color and
pattern, the only distinction being
found in the small silver shoulder
straps, indicating the grade. Carrying
out the above principle, the German
War Department has abandoned the
use Of regulation waterproof cloaEs'
which, during the last campaign, were
found to shine too much when wet,and
so draw the fire Of the enemy on the
officers. The above system was also
practically introduced into the United
States army during the late rebellion
and after tho experience OF the first
years campaign. the officers adopted
the common blue overcoat OF the men,
and the shoulder straps on the uniform
were reduced to the simple emolems
embroidered in the corners.
