Macaulay sneers al historians who have
undertaken to give an account Of tue reign
Of George H., without mentioning the
preaching of Whle6eld. If, instead OF
Whitefeld, he had written Wesley, the
sneer would have been more just; for, af-
ter the establishment of tho American re-
public, the institution of Methodsm is the
greatest event Of the eighteenth century,
and of all the men who lived in that cent
ury there is no one whose influence upon
after ages equals that of John Wesley. OF
the seventy-five millions who speak the
English tongue, about three and a half
millions are members of the Methodist
churches; four millions more are pupils in
their Sunday schools, aud the regular at
teudauts upon Methodist worship cannot
be less than as many more-hileen millions
in all. Thus one fillh of all who speak our
language ale directly moulded for this life
and the life 10 come, by Methodsm. We
doubt if any other Protestant communion
really numbers as many. The established
churches of EnGland aud Germany indeed
nominally include more; but in counting
their numbers all who do not formally be-
long 10 other communions are put down as
Episcopalians or Lutherans. Fully two
thirds Of the Methodisls are in the United
States. To Methodism more than to any
other one thing it is owing that our West
ern States grew up into civilization without
passing through period of sem-barbar-
ism. Southey expressed no more than the
bare truth when he said, 1 consider Wes-
ley as the most Influential mind of the last
century-the man who will have produced
the greatest effects centuries or perhaps
millenniums hence, II the present race o
men shall continue so long" This judg.
ment is coming 10 be acknowledged. With

The Woman who Burned Her Own
House.

Dorcas Acres of Turner, Me-, tailoress
by trade, had, by long and patient labor,
accumulated money enough to purchase a
small house and lot, when she took to her
self husband-Lazarus Lucas-''to rule
over her." The home was purchased after
the marriage with the money Dorcas had
earned with her needle. The husband was
in feeble health aud could earn nothing for
their support, so Dorcas worked on at her
trade and supported herself and her hus-
band also. She nursed him when sick,
paid his bills, and buried him respectfully
when he died, asking no help from his rel
atives.
He left no children and made no will,
and Dorcas being ignorant Of law as it af-
fects married women and widows, supposed
that the home was hers because she had
paid for il with her own earnings. So she
kept right ON making coats and garments
like Dorcas of old; happy, no doubt, in the
good work and "alms-deeds" which she
did.
But this state of things could not last
The two brothers of her dead husband soor
began to exercise their control over her, as
in duty bound. The woman must be pro-
tected ~ if not by her husband then by
his nearest male relative. So Dorcas re-
ceived notice that she could only have heI
Fright of dower' in the little home.
"The use of one-third"-"the widows
encumbrancep Now Dorcas was only al
ignorant woman and could not understand
the Justice of law which could take two
thirds of her earnings from her and giy'
them to relatives of her husband. So she
refused TO take, any legal action in the mat
ter, but as time passed on, the brothers
made it so uncomfortable for her that sh'
dared not live in the house. But still dis
daining TO recognize the law which mel
had made TO suit themselves, she set fire t
her home and burned It down. She said
"If cannot have it, they shall not" Fo
which crime she was sentenced TO the stat
prison, and served out the time OF her sen
tence, which l believe was two years.

ART DEPARTMENT, 1874.

The illustrations Of The Aldine have won a world
wide reputation, and in the art centres Of Europe is
admitted fact that its wood cuts examples of the
highest art attained. The common prejudice in
favor OF steel plates, is rapidly yielding to more cd
ucated and discriminating taste. The wood cuts Of
The Aldine possess all the decacy and elaborate finish
Of the most costly steel plate while they afford better
rendering Of the artists original.
In addition to designs by the members Of the Nation
al Academy and other noted American Artists, The
Aldine will reproduce examples Of the best foreign
masters selected with view to the highest artistic
succeas and greatest general interest.

THE New STATE PRIsoN.-The
Reno State Journal, of the 9TH, says
it affords us much pleasure to an
nounce to the citizens of Reno, that
the site for the new Nevada State
Prison has been selected by the
Board of Prison Corr nissioners, the
purchase of the land made, and
nothing will now interfere with the
progress of the work. The Board
last evening bought what is known
as the Marshall place, situated east
of Sena little over a mile. 1t con-
sists of 206 acres and the price paid
is very reasonable. Gen. Buckner
has informed us that wooden jail
will be built on the place next week:
that twenty prisoners will be sent
down from Carson Immediately, and
be put at work breaking boulders
for the foundation of the new prison
without delay. Work on the build
ing will be prosecuted with all due
dispatch, and the prison when COM
pleted will be one of the best in the
United States, and ample for all re-
quirements of Nevada. The Board
have certainly selected the best site
that was to be found in this vicinity,
and in making this purchase, Gov
ernor Bradley and General Buckner,
have acted for the best interests of
the state.

MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES

Hamilton, New. Aug. s. Dono-
van, who killed McWilliams, at
Cherry Creek, last December, was
to-day sentenced to the States Prison
for life. The prisoner evinced con-
siderable emotion on hearing his
sentence. He will be taken to Car
son next week.
San Francisco, August S.-The
steamer Colorado, from China and
Japan, brought about 500 tons OF
freight for New York via. Panama.
The Chinese and japanese news is
of little interest. The men who tried
to assassinate Iwakura have been
beheaded. The Japanese refuse for
eigners permission to go into the
interior, unless they agree to become
Japanese subjects.
The German steamer Alting will
sail for China next Saturday.

a message refers to the friendly re-

plains the position of the Govern
ment in regard to the International
Congress at Brussels to be substan-
TALLY as before made public; alludes
with favor to the negotiations for a
renewal OF the reciprocity treaty be-
tween the United States and Canada,
and laments the condition of Spain,
but favors the policy of non-inter-
vention. The remaining portion of
the message treats of the condition
and welfare of Great Britain and her
colonies.
