Important Amendments 10 the COnsti.
tuition.
The Nashville papers report Satur
days proceedings of the Tennessee
Baptist Convention among other things
as follows
IN accordance with "A resolution adj
opted upon the day previous, the Ten
nessee Baptist Convention met at9
O'Clock yesterday morning, and engage
ed for half an hour in religious exerci-
ses.
Special prayers We're offered for the
revival now in progress in the First
Baptist Church, and j. f. b. Mays,
WHO led the services, pleaded earnestly
for Christian harmony, and asked that
all pray for earnest seekers at his little
church in Knoxville.
j. w. Thomas, Of Nashville, was
nominated for Treasurer, and no other
nomination being made, he was elected
by acclamation for the ensuing year.
The Convention unanimously resol-
we'd to meet at Jackson next year, on
the Friday before the second Sunday
in April.
The President, 4. II. Eaton, was Sc
lected as delegate to the General Asso-
citation, and J. f. B. Mays, w. d.
Mayiield, William Shelton, s. Lam
drum, o. c. Pope, w. A. Nelson, A.
ID. Phillips, J. NJ. Phillips, M. Blow
ell and j. w. Thomas were appointed

vention at Charleston, South Carolina.
Rev. w. a. Nelson stated that the
General Association of Middle Tennes-
see and North Alabama had, at "a call
ed meeting upon the day before, been

the minutes of that meeting were, up-
on being read, ordered to be TRANSCRIPT
ed upon the journal of the State Com
vention, ana the Chair decided that
such delegates were entitled to seats in
the Convention.
The Committee on Constitution re-
commended that article Sd in the con-
stitution be so changed as to allow
each church delegate for ever five
dollars contributed instead of one, and
this was so ordered by the Convention.
Also article D, referring to the work
OF me Convention, was, upon the sug-.
gestion of the committee, changed so
as to make it the duty of the Conven-
ton 10 promote the missionary and
Sunday school work ofthe Church, and
giving IL power to report commits
sioners, said commissioners TO report
at the pleasure of the Convention.
The report further recommended
that the Convention appoint Com
miJtee of five from each division of the
State, all To act together as an Execu-
tive Board, but each to have the dis
bursting of its own funds, each to con-
troll Affairs in the different sections of
the State.
The first two amendments to the
constitution were adopted, but a pro-
tracted discussion ensued upon the
third, which occupied the remainder
of the session.
The President read communications
from Prof. 5. Y. Caldwell and Rev.
w. Il. Ward. inviting he Convention
to visit The city schools and Wards
Semina1y, and on motion both invita-
tons Were accepted.
The Committee on Education report
ed, but the report was recommitted,
with instructions to the committee to
find out the educational facilities of
East Tennessee.

Man in the Diluvial Period.

The question was long since raised,
whether traces uf human existence had
been. or We're t. be, found in the sand
and gravel of the Post-Tertiary or Diluvial
period. which Immediately preceded the
present. Some affirmed the finding of
such remains in these, and the contem-
pOraneous deposits of certain caves, while
most geologists rejected such statements
as erroneous. or, at best, unauthenticated,
plaUSibly urging that ancient animal and
recent human remains might easily have
become iutermingled. And such re-
searches were discredited and discouraged
by Cuyier's magisterial dictum, that man
did not exist in the Diluvial period, and
that it was, therefore, vain to look for
evidences of his existence.
Some twenty years ago, however, NJ.
Boucher de P6rthes discovered quantity
Of rude stone implements in the diluvial
gravel-beds of Abbeville, in the valley of
Somme, in intimate connection with
bones of mammoths.
This discovery attracting much atten-
ton, in 1858 the French Academy of
Sciences sent to the spot a committee of
investigation, composed, be it not forgot
ten, of men utterly skeptical as to the
fact at issue. This committee, strength
ened by the accession of several English
geologists, worked long and carefully at
its task, and the Academy's discussions
upon its reports were earnest and
thorough /; yet, the result was the COM
plete confirmation of De Perthe's reputed
discoveries, and Of the conclusions he had
drawn therefrom. Cuyier was confuted;
the existence OF man in the Diluvial period
was established. Similar discoveries in
the open country and caves OF Germany,
Spain, Italy, England, Belgium, and es-
pecially France, followed in rapid success
son.
We can not mention, much less de-
scribe, all the localities In which have
been found the closely conjoined remains
Of man and of animals, confessedly be-
longing to the drift or Diluvial period
We shall discuss only few OF the many
cases, Of which we may safely affirm that
the often easy and common mingling of
ancient with recent remains could not
have occurrcd.-From' '' The First Traces
Of Nan in Europe" IN Popular Science

o. G. VanderhofI s. CO., Tennessee,
writes: We are manufacturing a ma
chine to extract cookie from wheat, and
we would be pleased to know if any use
can be made Of the seed, and at what
price. We would be enabled to gather Il
great many bushels, as the machine eX-
tracts cookie without waste Of wheat
iy-Cocklc-scod- have never been
uscd for any industrial purpose that we
know OF. They, however, POSSESSES con-
siderable portion of oil, and if they were
produced in large quantities might be util-
lied in that way. The husks Of the seed
have an acrid flavor, and are not whole
some food for stock. 1t is possible that
cooking might remove this, in which case
it might be fed to hogs. The use Of a ma
chine such as is here referred to would
very soon reduce the production of cookie
to almost nothing, as the plant being an
annual il the seed were not sown, there
would be none Of ii produced.

spinner On WOman's Honesty.
New York Graphic.l

General Spinner in the course OF re-
cent interview, said in answer to ques-
ton as to whether there was not stealing
in the treasury: "Yes. Recently there
has been money stolen in the National
bank redemption agency. When Graves
(who is in chargc) found out he had a
thief with him, he carefully investigated,
ard laid traps to catch him. lie came to
me one day and said he had a clue. |
said Well, what is it, He said that he
suspected one or two women. | shook
my head and said, You are wrong. A
woman won't steal Now, | know they
won't. They have not got the nerve.
The reason why prefer women as coun-
ters is because they won't steal. Ii they
do steal they won't take over one or two
dollars, because, as | said before, they
haven't the nerve. If a woman steals any
larger amount You can make up your
mind she has a pal outside who is a
man.

Withdrawal of the State grants, to the main

lhorized by the Emperor have replied,
expressing Iegret that the Bishops should
object to obey laws which were always

the Bishops would have preserved the
fatherland from peace-disiurbing confusion
if they had remained faithful TO their own
convictions and to the warnings which they
proclaimed before the Vatican Council

more Of corn will be planted there this pre-

interfere with cotton. J he corn planting
is simply for economic Purposes, owing to

The Indian Territory.

1t has 6S, 1871 square miles OF land.
Most OF il is as rich as Hin OILS and
more beautiful. There are less than
10000 people in it, 30 post offices,
over 200, 900 horses, 325, 900 cattle.
There are now 269 miles OF railroad
in this great space. The following
are the tribes CherOkees, ChOcta ws,

KickapOos. Several OF these tribes
are incorporated in each other. The
Indian territory is a gigantic abo-
riginal museum and PAL K, above 400
miles in length westward, and above
500 miles southwark. The Indians
in 1t were gathered from Oregon to
North Carolina, and from the Gulf

A correspondent of the New York
Evening Post calls attention to the
fact stated In the late report of the
bureau of statistics, that the tea i'm
ported into the United States du-
ring the month of April averaged
in price but twentY-three cents per
pound, ana that the average price of
the importation for ten months was
but thirty-six cents per pound. This
Is for cargoes, of course. This tea
has steadily sold at retail in New
York at eighty and ninety cents per
pound, and at higher figures in 9TH
er parts of the country, in proper
ton to the distance from New York,
which shows that somebody is max
ing an immense profit on this arti-
Gle. IN regard to coffee nearly the
same facts exist. The ten months
importation was fOrty-two million
pounds, which averaged fifteen cts.
Beside this there were imported five
million dollars worth of chicory,
the use of which is to mix with cof-
fee, and which sells at so much less
prices that IL probably reduced the
net value of coffee TO twelve or four
teen cents. The retail price of cof-
fee has been from % to 40 cents,
which shows another immense prof

FEMALE PHYsICIANS.

Having been consulted by the
government as to the advisability of
admitting women into the medical
profession, the general medical coun-
Gil OF London, composed of twenty
four of the most distinguished doc
tors and surgeons of the Kingdom,
Las returned a favorable answer.
After q prolonged and warm discus
sion, the body resolved to instruct
its presiding officer to reply that if
the government shOuld deem IL
proper to countenance women doc
tors, no objections could be offered
by the profession, provided the
education and examination of the
female students of medicine should
be conducted entirely apart from
those of male students" The final
conclusion reached in the discussion
was pointedly expressed by one of
the last speakers in the following
words al have little fears that those
women who shall rush into the pro-
fession will attend principally upon
men they will devote themselves
to childbirth and attendance upon
women and children. would OBJ

males in the whole subject that be-
longs to my department, provided
sufficient precantiOn were taken,
and suppOsing that l am not called
upon to instruct them along with
males" Some of the opponents
argued that women were untitled
for the profession in sex, strength,
and mind; that the innovation
would be q source of endless i'm
morality, as there would be more
sick men in the world than there
ever was before since the Hood, and
there wouldn't be women doctors
enough to attend on them-but the
more advanced opinion ruled the
rOost and England is to have her
female doctors.

Mary sits by her window in the

that he seemed like nice young

The warmish evenings have come,
the buggiest of the year. Little bugs
and big bngs-mOths, flies and beet
les-queer looking worms with
wings, and fearful black, swapping
beasts with horns, bugs that fly over
the luminary, and then lie down and
play circus with half their legs
burned of, these are the visitors we
must nightly entertain.
A young and newly married COMP
lie passed along the line of the Ches-
apeake and Ohio railroad few days
since, both travelling on free passes.
Some years ago the groom granted
right of way 10 the railroad compa-
ny through his lands on condition,
among other things, that when he
married he should have two free
wedding excursion tickets. The
event before noted is the sequel to
this contract.
