A trip to Europe has generally been
considered an indication of the wealth
Of the traveller. This is no longer the
case. Il was cheaper last summer to
visit Europe than to go to fashiona-
bic American watering place. It will

leaving New York that one line-the
Cunard-has reduced it's steersge fare
to SIS, about what it costs to go from
Augusta to Cntoosa or the Indian

horses hoof 1t is hardly less curious in
its way. It's parts are somewhat less
complicated, yet their design is simple
and obvious. The hoof is not, as it APP
pears to the careless eye mere lump of
insensible bone fastened to the leg by a
joint. 1t is made up by series Of thin
layers of leaves or horn, about Eve bun>
dred in number, and nicely fitted to each
other, and forming lining to the foot it,
self. Then there are as many more lay.

elastic. Take quire of paper and insert
the leaves one by cne into those Of anoth>
er quire, and yci will get some idea Of
the arrangement of the several layers.
Now the weight of the horse rests on as
many elastic springs as there are layers In
his four feet-about four thousand anil
all this is contrved, not only for the con
veyance of his own body, but for wha .
ever burdens may be laid on him..

1t is undepiable that the young ladies
of this city are lamentably deficient in
their duty in the matter Of furnishing
local items for the newspapers. Their
sisters in other places are more mindful
in this particular. The Wyandot Cour-
Ter tells of belle of the village of Tren-
ton as follows:
while purchasing some goods Of a dash
ing young clerk, she made some reWarkS
that implied doubts of his muscular abil>
ity, and was promptly challenged for a
trial of strength. The young lady ac,
cepted the banter, and stepped cut into
the street, followed by the young man,
who did rot think that the challenged
party was in earnest. The moment the
young man cleared the sidewalk, he was
grasped by the young lady, and vigor.
GUS struggle followed. In defense the
clerk exertel all his strength, lu. was
thrown to the ground. where, Wit his
head in chancery, he got his face nicely
washed in snow. The affair attracted a
crowd Of nearly one hundred persons
If any Of the girls hereaaouts have any
conceit as to their ability as wrestlsrs ard
will notify us when they propose to put
the matter to test. we should be pleased
to detain an impartial reporterto make
notes Of the tourney. Wehave an sc-
quaintance with sundry clerks who would

second time byaauthority of the General
Conference which met in New York city
in 1872 have met the same fate.
The Church South inquest ionably had
the plenary right to decline these over
lures for any cause satisfactory to its own
authorities; but the reasons publicly as
signed for this course may properly be
noted by the journalist. As received by
telegraph they are Of two classes-the
first relating to the old causes of griev-
ance in the Border States and the diff
Guilty of arranging practical plan of
union, The second rela'e to difference
Of race.
The report of the committee adopted
by the conference at Louisville last Satur-
day states that on the subject Of slavery
'the position Of Southern Methooism is
Scriptural, and our opinions have uuder>

the servence from the Church South of

mixed congregations and mixed
schools" 1t says: I'VE do not ask

churches, and an amiable adjustment of
all disputes in relation to property and
territorial jurisdiction, are, however, earn
estly invited.
1t would seem from the brief telegraph
ic report which has reached us that the
chief barrier to restoration of the former
union is the prejudice still existing against
color on the part Of white Methodists in
the recently-slaverholding States.
Finding that Christians, persons "who
have passed from death unto life," who
have washed their robes and made them
white in the Llood of the Lamb, embas>
sadors of Christ, commissioned to ego in
to all the world and preach His gospel to
every creature" can not permit God $
children, Of different compilations, TO sit
together in the same church during public
worship, and quietly listen to the admins
tration Of Divine things, we are amazed
that such an old political sinner as Sena'
tor Alcorn, Of Mississippi, should favor
mixed schools. If the preachers do mo-
stir themselves, the politicians will sur.
pass them..i in the manifestation of politicAl
charity, which vaunteth not itself, and
