BREAKING Down THE BARRIERs.-A Cir
cumstance to which a number of our Maryland
exchanges are alluding as possessing consider
able Importance is the fact that the different
Methodist Churches are showing unity of
feeling Just now that has never before been
manifested. Last Sunday, in Easton, when
Bishop James and DR.. Dashiel, of the NJ. L.
Church, were in that town attending to their
duties in connection with the Conference Of
eolored ministers, they occupied the NJ. Z.
pulpit, one in the morning, the other in the
evening. Throughout the day the other two
Methodist denominations, the Methodist Pro-
testant, and the NJ. Z. Church South, closed
their churches and attended the NJ. 4. church.
And at Chesterville, Kent county, last week,
during a session of what is called district
conference of the Southern Church" the
Methodist Episcopals gave up their seated
grove to their use. Such marks of fellowship
seem to call for special mention, both from
press and pulpit.
Heretofore the asperities between these re
spective branches of this denomination have
been even more defined than between them
ime it seemed that that community Of in
terests" so anxiously looked for by many
would never be established. But as time add.
distance between the present and the past i
seems to be breaking down the barriers set W
between them and there is a new iustre to the
star of hope. The differences between thesC
branches of this church are those of feelinl
rather than those Of fact They have nearly
the same name; 60 through the same formula
use about the same ritual, and there seems t
Rs no reason why they should not use the sam,
church. There is no such division lines il
this State; why should there be Just across tn
bOrderT What is there to make the differenc,
the imaginary State line? If so the differ
ence is more imaginary than even the line, an
it would seem to be more question of geogra
ply than principle. The results of the wal
and the action of the NJ. E. Church in sdop
ing lay representation, have torn down tn
division walls, and the only thing necessar
now is for the prejudices of the people
subside. It would be better for all concerne
to consolidate the branches, and secure
themselves that strength created by union.
1t reminds US of the Presbyterians. Fl
years there was no difference, really, in TIL
denomination, SO far as public Observable
went. There was no difference in the mini
tiers, except that one attended an ''Old Schoo
Assembly and arother New School" II
congregations never seemed to know the diffe
ence, and asked no questions for conscien
sake. Yet it went on this way for years
united in the hearts of the congregation
divided in the councils of the church.

A YOUNG GIRL ENTIcED AwAY.-On Mon
day morning week the family OF a highly re-
spectacle farmer, Mr.. Miller, living in Mill
Greek Hundred, few miles from Wilmington,
found that some time during the night, a
daughter, young lady of about sixteen years,
had disappeared. No alarm was felt at her
absence, for while, but as the day. passed on
and she did not return, serious concern was
excited. She has not yet returned, and from
what has been learned of her movements, the
most painful apprehensions are caused about
her. From what can be learned she has gone
to New York This is calculated to cause the
most serious concern for her safety, but il
seems to be now ascertained that she had been
in correspondence with some unknown person
probably in New York, the letters between
them having had their commencement in some
one of the many advertisements which are SEM
out through the papers, apparently innocent
on their face, but intended as traps for the un
wary and lures for the innocent.
Steps have been taken, through the police
of Philadelphia and New York, to discover
the missing girl, aud it is hoped they may be
successful Commercial.

TIRED OF IT-The Gazette, seeing a state
ment that G. w. Poulson, OF Delaware, and
others, were making arrangements to start an
independent line of steamers to Cape May,
goes off in this fashion
MI. G. w. Poulson, President of the "Inde.
pendent line Of steamers" has, it seems to us,
acquired sufficient public notice through the
medium of his mythical steamboat lines. Mr..
p. was in this city, few months ago, looking
around for a wharf at which to land steamer
of his Independent line," which was to run
between here and Philadelphia in opposition
to the present line. Mr. p. seems thoroughly
imbued with desire to establish "indepen
dent lines" and run steamers fabulous in speed
and appearance, in opposition to ''present
arrangements" He has talked enough about
it, and received newspaper notices sufficient tC
boats, and it is about time for the gentleman
to stop his palaver, or do something definite
in this direction.

INapoIeon's Funeral.

The telegraph gives the following ac-
count of the funeral Of Napoleon,
which took place at C~hiselhurst yes
terday:
The funeral procession Of Napoleon
started at II A. N. In the following
order: A mar bearing the tri-color,
borne on an ash stick, which was cut
the last moment before the cortege
moved q deputation Of workingmen
from Paris; chaplain of the family,
bearing a golden crucifix; hearse
drawn by eight horses and mourners
numbering 500 In all, including the
Prince Imperial uncovered, Prince Je-
rome Napoleon, Prince Joachim, Prince
Achille. Rouher and many other dis
t%inguished I%mperialists; English no.
blenen, Paris priest and others. The
Prince Imperial was. very pale. The
Empress was too i'll to attend. The
coffin was covered with immortelles
and violets. There was no sermon at
the chapel. Bishop Southwark sang
the Requiem nc the mass, assisted BY
Father Goddard and all the chaplains
at the Tuileriss during the reign Of
Napoleon. Tho organisr Of the St.
George Cathedral Of London, with his
choir, conducted the music portion Of
the services. The remains were de
posted In the sacristy, which has been
formed into q mortuary chapel until
removal of the body to France. The
procession was very long. When the
Prince Imperial and Prince Napoleon
returned from the chapel in n Of the
carriages they were cheered by the
crowds. One Of the persons who came
from France to attend the funeral Of
brought with him some soil
dug from the gardens OF the Tuilerlss,
which he strswed over the coffin after
1t was deposited in the sacristy OF the
at Chiselhurst while the funeral
services were taking place.

NEARLY all our exchanges express
surprise at the conviction Of Stokes for
the murder Of Jim Fisk,and his prompt
sentence. What a commentary Is this
on the administration Of criminal JUS
tice in this country. Because Stokes
wore good clothes, and had influence,
it "a generally supposed that he
would be acquitted. Tho mere fact
that such was the opinion Is the strong
est evidence that it Is high time that
public sentiment should be awakened
to a sense Of the degradation into
which the good name Of the Republic
is sinking. Has it not been q reproach
to our land that any man might COM
nit murder with impunity provided
he had wealth and social position /?
We have become SC familiar with the
fact, that like %peculation aud fraud In
our public officials, 1t has ceased to
shock us.

inent in that section about n year ago
in the pursuit and capture of some Of
the escaped convicts from u State

indicated assassination. He had been
drinking heavily that day and threat
ening the lives Of people, and In the
evening he came to the hotel, opened

On examination, his death was found
to have resulted from gun-shot wounds
inflicted by some unknown party, and
the Coroner's Jury rendered a verdict
accordingly.

AN OUTRAGEOUS sw1NDLs.

Last Spring. Congress appropriated
$500, 900 to be paid to a band Of Indi-
ans known as the Teton Sioux, said to
be located 10 Montana Territory, when,
in fact no such tribe Is to be found
thers. When the appropriation was
asked for, some Of the older Senators
were desirous to ascertain something
of this tribe, as they were to receive so
large . sum Of money. Senator Win
dom, of Minnesota, advocated the
measure, and vouched for the existence
of this reported tribe. In the Indian
Appropriation bill, which Is now be-
fore the House. $500, 900 more Is asked
for. for this tribe. When the bill was
before the Senate last Spring, Senator
Window assured the Senate that there
was such a tribe, and that $4,000 Of
these warlike savages were congre-
gated around Fort Rock. 1t now turns
out that there Is no such tribe. People
in Montana say the Indian agents and
those interested got up the whole
thing as Il swlndle. and after they re-
ceived the money, went out and gath
cred ASS Indians upon whom they
expended a moiety Of the sum. They
also say that when the appropriation
was made the number Of Indians
In and around Fort Scott was
less than twenty. 1t appears that
the men engaged In this swindling
transaction took a party Of friendly
Indians to Washington and palmed
them off upon the authorities as menu
bers of the Teton-Sioux tribe, for tho
purpose Of quieting suspicion in re-
gard to the matter. In conclusion,
these people say that there are no
Sioux Indians in Montana who are
not provided for by treaty stipula-
lions, except such as have broken their
treaty engagements and gone upon the
war path these, Of course, nobody
expects the Government to feed. 1t Is
we'll known that very little Of the
money appropriated by Congress for
the well-known tribes yer reaches the
Indians, but It Is a new dodge, or a
newly.discovered one, to get large
sums for a mythical tribe. This mat
ter should receive a most searching In
vestigation, and the parties Implicated
should, upon conviction. be severely
dealt with. 1t Is full time that the
thieves and plunderers Of the United
States Treasury should be held up to
the execration Of the community.
| The time has been when such an at
tempt to swlndle the Government
would have caused an cutlery from the
press from Maine to California, but
unfortunately we are becoming accus-
toned to swindllng and peculation.
In view of the detection of the above
mentioned swindle, the Philadelphia
Press, commenting upon the matter,
says that the Department Of the In
terror will urge the early passage Of a
bill authorizing the taking Of a careful
and uniform census Of all the Indian
tribes Of the continent, "not only as
to the actual number Of the various
tribes and bands. but with a view to
furnishing also such data on several
important points rs will enable the
Government to act aud deal under
standingly in the premises in the
future" There ought to be no objec-
ton to this proposition from any other
than sources interested in tue perpe-
tration of such swindles Is that of the
Teton Sioux.

FRAUD AND

The expenditures Of the War De-
partment last year were about $685.
900, 900. l. Is true the sums paid for
soldiers bounties, and for the improve
ment of rivers, etc., though charged
to the War Department, are not in
reality, legitimately chargable to that
establishment, but, deducting the ag-
gregate Of these sums, and We have
about 81. 900, 900 for which that de-
partment is properly accountable. As
there were about $4,000 men in the
army during the past year, this would
make the average cost Of their MAIN
tenance l 1000 each, which shows that
our military establishment is more ex-
pensive, in proportion to its magnl-
tude, than any other in the world.
The Prussian army costs at the rate Of
$500 per man annually, and that OF
Russia about 500. As a soldiers pay
is about SIC per month, and his cloth
