The Louisville Courier Journal, in
writing on the subject OF the General
Conference, which commenced its ses-
sion on Friday last. says: with
eight venerable bshops-each one
man OF MARYLAND at least $50 clergy
men of every variety OF talent, and
from every portion OF the country, and
as many laymen, the Conference must
attract very great attention. We have
said that delegates will be here from
every portion Of this great country, for
although the denomination assembling
represents by it's title the South, still
com missioners from the Church North
will also be present, bearing fraternal
greetings to their Southern brethren
and prepare to settle, we suppose, all
difficulties between the TWO Methndism

forget that the Oldest delegate 10 this
Conference ia the venerable Dr.. Lovick
Pierce, who bore fraternal greetings
from the South to his brethren in the
North, at the General Conference,
which sat at Pittsburgh, Pa. in ls4S.
His proposition was rejected, aud, with
great dignity and calm Christian cour'
tesy, he stated to his Northern breth-
rem on the floor OF the Conference that
the next overtares must come from
them, He is now in the ninetieth year,
and will have the infinite qualification
OF seeing these very relations then re-
iected by the North now offered to him

er, and an excellent presiding officer.
Bishop Ksvanaugh is about ten
years Older than Bishop Pierce, and

the came length of time as Bishop

Our Imports From Great Britain,

From the New York Herald, Janaury 30.1
One of the most important signs Of
an improving financial condition in
the country is the decline of imported
luXuries. According to the report Of
the Bureau of Statistics, there was a
considerable falling off in the importa-
ton of the principal articles of British
manufacture for the year lS73as conn
pared with the previous year, and par
ticularly during the last months of 1873.
Take cotton piece goods, for example,
and we find that in 1872 ISL ,S17,336
yards were imported, while in 1873 the
number of yards was 100, 5O0,345. So
we might 60 throughthe list ofimported
articles and find corresponding reduc7
ton. Iron, however, is specially Wor-
thy of mention. In 1872 there were
467 1904 tons of railroad iron, 4,553
tons of bar, angle, bolt and rod iron,
and 1876, Isl tons of pig iron imported,
while in 1873 the amount was: Rail
road iron, 1856, 7O2 tons; pig iron, l02, 26i
tons; and bar and other kinds of iron
23,008 tons. This is difference of
over S20,0O0,0OO in iron alone. If we
can continue to reduce our imports and
increase our exports, the exchanges
will be more in our favor, and this
would do more to bring down the pre-
MUM on gold and carry us to speciel
basis than all the proposed legislation
of Congress. ... l...ac sos

gle whitfietree attached directly behind
them, and just long enough to meet in the
middle. When the double-tree is very
long, each horse must draw more or less
sideways if the coupling lines and the
neck-yoke are not made long enough to
allow them to move directly forward
without having their heads turned toward
each other. In order to determine the
correct length of whitfletrees, let two
horses stand side by side with their sides
three inches apart; then measure from
the center of one horse to the other on
their backs. This will give the length
for "a neck-yoke and the correct length for
the double whitlletree between the Joints
where the sngletrees are to be attached
When neck-yoke is only eighteen inches
long, and the double-tree of the proper
length, horses will be required to move
more or less SIDEWAYS For the same
reason oxen often get in the habit Of haul
ing sidewise, because the yoke is too
short Neither oxen nor horses can travel
easily and freely when their heads are
turned toward and their buttoCks from
each other.
Whitflerees for blowing should always
be as short as they can be made, without
bringing the traces against the legs OF the
team. a very long double whiffeuee
tends to make plowshare take too wide
a furrow slice. If the clevis be adjusted
to take narrow furrow slice, when the
double-tree is too long the pillow will not
run at all satisfactorily. The horse in the
furrow will not be able to walk squarely
in his place, because the line Of draught
is such as to keep crowding his hind feet
out of the furrow on the plowed ground
The length of the double whitileree and
the neck-yoke for sleigh should be jas,
as long as the sleigh is wide from the cen
ter of one runner to the .Hdautdc

\ Terrible Death.

WE were yesterday put into possession
81 the details of the death of Chinaman
or she Coronades, day before yesterday,

scrihed by Victor Hugo in his "Toilers of

duced with graphic power. Our readers
know that the abalone meat is priced del.

of the abalone, when properly polished,
Is one of the most tancitul and beautiful
things in nature The abaloncS are gen
orally sought lower down the coast, but
are also found in the neighorhood of San

the nickname of "ChoWder,N started out

only be surmised by the event The sup

Watering Stock in Winter.

We wish our readers would make the
following simple experiment. You have
a trough or half barrel into which you
pump water for stock. There Is more or
less ice in the water Your cows and
sheep are drinking it. Put thermome-
ter In this water and you will probably
find that it is within a degree or two of
the freezing point. Then pump up pail
Of water, and il the pump has not been
used for a few hours you will find tat
least zoe did that this water is also down
to 33 or "a degrees. Now pump two or
three more pailtuls of water, or until you
are sure you have drawn up all the water
that has been Standing in the pump and
are now drawins It fresh from the well.
Let the Thermometer stand in this a few
minute, and you will find that this water
is not far from 80 degrees-or say from
Is to 20 degrees warmer than the first
drawn water or than that stand
ing IN the trough. In the sum-
mer, nearly every farmer when he
wants drinking water will pump out the
water that has been standing in the pump
because he knows that it is warmer than
the water in the well. We should do the
same thing for our stock in winter, be-
cause this first drawn water is much cold
er than the water in the well. lthas been
found very advantageous to artiticially
warm water for horses and cows. We can
not all adopt such plan, but we can take
measures to give our animals water fresh
and warm from the well. We can avoid
compelling them to drink water in which
ice has been floating for some hours. a

Robert Bonner's New York Ledger.

The Mem York Times of yesterday contains
the following just and apprecatiye editorial
notice:
The Ne1c York Ledger recently entered upon
new volume, and the proprietor, Mr. Robert Bon
ner, took occasion to say Il few words to his hun
dreds of thousands of readers He tells them that
the liberaity which has been shown III the past in
the management Of his paper will be continued
throughout the new year; that all the old favorie
writers will continue to contribute to its pages;
that he will be constantly on the watch for ANY
new developments of real rising genius and that
he is determined to keep up the Ledgef as 1.-The
best family paper in the world"
That these pledges will be kept Mr. Bonner's
we'll known enterprise and high character afford
a sufficient guarantee. He may fairly claim the
credit of having established popular journal
which il absolutely free from any moral reproach
or stain. In too many of the trumpery journals
which have been set up in the vain hope of com
peting with the Ledger, the lessons taught to the
young are of the most injurious character. Pa
rents are depicted as unnatural tyrants from whom
II il a duty and virtue to escape. boy hles
from his home, meets with stranger of boundless
wealth and lberality, is instantly adopted a. a son
and heir and achieves exploits which rival all the
feats of all the heroes known to history. Many a
boy has found out to his sorrow how little these
wild and mischevous stories represent the actual
conditions of the battle of life. Too often the
teaching is more perniciOus-vice and
pronigacy are openly inculcated Mr.. Bon
ner's LedgeF has always been free from this
abominable poison. Hence it has been, and
is. freely admitted into thousands of fam
lilies all over the country az compan-
ion and friend. No profane word, no vicious
stories are ever allowed To appear in its columns.
| Among its contributors some of the most
! highly -esteemed Clergymen Of the day and many
of the ablcst writers In general literature 1t has
two columns every week of replies to correspond

ous reading. A better publication 1t would be
hard to find; and while bearing onr testimony to
the fact that it well deserves the wonderful sue
cess il has achieved in the past, may We add our
wishes for its redOubed success in the future.

except the ancient Persian punishment OF
the "boat," described minutely by Plu-
tarch, in which the victim was thrown
to the ground, boat was thrown upside
down over him and staked, and his face
was smeared with Honey to attract the IN
sects. There he was left to die. The
poor Chinaman's plight was almost as
bad as this; but happily the returning
tide prevented the torment from being as
lasting. The memorable waters, however,
shortly did their work: There came a
time when the poor Chinaman could
strain no longer, and when the briny
flood sucked from his lungs the breath OF
life. When yesterday Chowder's body
