GRAND RECRPTION.-We are glad to see
that the two leading branches of Methodism in
the United States, are beginning to fraterni.e
as Christians should At the Sea Cliff Grove,
L. I. Camp meeting, Bishops Doggett and Kav-
anaugh. Drs. L. NJ. Lee, Sergeant and Poisal,
of the M. E. Church, South, had grand recep-
ton given by Bishops James and Haven, and
Drs. Hunt, Crooks and other prominent. minis
ters., and Gen. Fisk and others of the laity, of
the NJ. E. Church, at the Sea Cliff Hotel
Bishop James made a neat, eloquent and adj
propriate reception speech, which was replied
to by the gentleman representing the Southern
Church, Bishop Doggett, in his usual happy
STYLE, In his remarks Bishop Doggett said,
that the thanked the Church North for the ger
erous demonstration of sympathy expressed in
this cordial reception. For himself he felt the
true blood of Methodism running in his veins,
and felt perfectly at home. All would be re-
joeen to see the day when the two Churches
would be united as one body. He hoped to
reciprocate their regards" Thus the leaven is
working, and now that the great bone of cor
tention is removed from between these two
great bodies of christians, VIE hope to see
them soon united and amicably working to-
gether. Elbow pleasant it is for brethren to
dwell together in unity

The women OF England are making deter
mined effort for the right of suffrage, and may
possibly succeed before their American cousins.
A memorial, with the signatures of eighteen
thousand of the fair sex attached, has been pre-
scented to Mr.. Disraeli, the Premier, who has
expressed himself as honored by such an offer
ing. The list was headed with such honored
names as Florence Nightingale, Harriet Mart
ineau, and Miss Thackerry.
Among the prominent persons pleading be-
fore Congress for the extension of suffrage to
the women i'll this country may be mentioned
Susan B. Anthony, the Woodruff, Claffin, and
the high priests and priestesses Of free love ;
but from the light of recent tattle-tale develop
ments in the ranks of the strong-minded re-
garding the Tilton scandal, it is safe to predict
that their cause has lost considerable ground.

Fest of the Miltimorc Car Axle and
Independent Wheel, at st. Al
hanS

Monday forenoon party consisting of
Gov. Smith, Hon. W. c. Smith, Superin-
tendent Hobart, Master Mechanic J. NJ.
Foss, and other prominent railroad officials
spent half hour or more In practical test
of the "Miltmore Patent Car Axle and In
dependent Wheel" recent improved in.
yenton patented by Mr. G. w. Mitimore
of Chicago, and built by the Arlington Car
Manufacturing Company.
The design of this invention is to meet
the want long felt and expressed by prac-
tical railroad men, for a loose or indepen-
dent car wheel, capable of adapting itself
to inequalities of track, curves, ETC., with
out that waste of motive power which with
the present style of wheel is very impor-
tant item. The invention of Mr.. Miltimore.
briefly described, is an axle within an axle.
There is an inner and stationary axle pass
ing from outside to outside of the hubs on
which 1.-The weight of the car rests. Out
side of this is a considerably larger hollow
axle to which the wheels are so attached
that each can revolve independently of the
other. Thus in running round curve
where, for instance the outer rail is so fee,
longer than the inner, the outer wheel can
run that extra distance and the inner one
need not make an unnecessary revolution.
Inside this hollow outer axle the oil is
stored in quantity sufficient, las the inventor
claims, to last many months without re-
plenshng. No waste is used and no waste
of oil is possible.
The railroad men present expressed
themselves highly pleased with the work.
ing of the invention SO far as they could
Judge from the short and imperfect test.
MIR. Foss says ''There seems to be no
doubt but your device answers to ourneed.
The only question is that of durability
which only time can answer" We under
stand that a working model is to be furn-
ished the Central Vermont managers for
more thorough examination and if their
opinion continues favorable, the patentee
will equip number of cars at once for the
Central line,
The car used at the trial is one belonging
to the Rutland road, and has, since its
equipment with the Miltimore wheel, run
upwards of / 200 miles without overhaul
ing and none of the iron was even percepti-
bly, warmed. 1t left for Rutland attached
to the noon express train and accompanied
by the inventor and Mr. A. ID. Garfield the
manufacturer, who wish to acknowledge
with much gratitude the kindness and cour-
tesy of Supt. Hobart and other officials of
