A scANpAL sQuRlcHEp

The Conference was about to close its
session for the day, when the Rev. The
ophilns Stewart asked the members at
tention to private grief, in which wO:
man was involved. She at lrst attracted
his attention at a sermon, when she sent
note 10 is.pulpit asking to tee him
at the close OF the sermon. She had no.
thing 10 ask OF him and he tried to repel
her. She followed him up and began TO
write him letters. He opened four oi
them, and found them to contain the most
love.sick sentiments. He allowed his
wife to read them, and agreed with her
that il any more came that they should
remain unopened. He was perplexed TO
know what 10 do oRet rid Of the woman.
He was almost certain lie knew who she
was, and stepping out from his seat and
pointing 10 the gallery corner OH the
right Of the pulpit, added: Ifthe breth-
rem will look there they will see the wO.
man who has given me all thus trouble"
The brethren saw there fat, gaudily-
dressed negro woman-the only occupant
Of, the gallery, who had been cying the
Rev. Mr.. Stewart all the morning. She
laughed, with the rest, when she was made
conspicuous, but did not move. There
was a general rush to the center OF the
house by the members who sat beneath
the gallery and could not see her.
Brother Williams said that he thought
they ought to excuse the sister, as it was
evident in her looks that she didn't know
any better.
Stewart is handsome mulatto, and is
one OF the moEt successful ministers in
the conference. He says that all Of the
letters were written just as though he
had Joined in the correspondence. He
felt convinced that somebody was using
the woman 10 involve him in = candal,
and he made up his mind to checkmate
| the scheme.

The London "News" on Brent,

LONDON, June 20.-The Me,rs OF this
city this morning has a strong leading
editorial on the release OF Brent, the Lou.
isville forger, saying that when 1t is even
shown, by evidence that would justify his
committal here, that the fugitive has for
feited the protection OF our laws, we may
fairly give him up to the justice Of the
country against which he has offended.
The article concludes-Lord Derby's de-
mand that the prisoner should not be
tried on a different state Of facts from
t.ose proved inthe surrendering country
proceeds from IN unwarrantable assump-
ion. We are not bound to watch over
the administration Of justice IN other
countries. Their tribunals may be trust-
ed. To, assume that It's courts will not
deal fairly with him, Is reason for re.
fusing to enter into any treaty Of extra
dition with 1t at all, but not for vexatious
and suspicious stipulations.

On our inside page we have made some
comments on the attempt Of the New
York Times to ridicule DR.. LIE Moynes
cremation business up at Washington
Since then we have seen an article in the
New York Tribune in regard to the Doc
tor. The old gentleman is becoming IA
nous, and we are glad oft. We are do
ing all we can to hand him down to
pOsterity in great honor. Here is what
the Tribune says about him:
At last there Is a chance that ctemation
will be practically tested in this country.
A philianthropic citizen OF Washington,
Penn, has built large stone house on
one OF the hills surrounding that quiet
little town, for the reception OF dead
bodies, and furnace scientifically con-
Structed in which they are to be burned.
How many dead bodies will offer them
selves it Is not easy to decide. The Doc
tors fellow.citizens (of whom, by the way,
James G. Blaine long was one belonged,
as rule, to ancient Scotch.Irish clans,
who makea god. Of precedent and walk
in the narrow but excellent path Of their
fathers from the cradle to their death
bed. They will not be likely to fling
themselves out Of that bed into heter-
odox furnace. DIR. Le Moyne himself
will be remembered by members Of the
old Abolition Society as lifelong radi-
cal-one Of the leaders Of the forlorn
hope Of the cause. He has given, during
late years, large sums for the endow-
ment of college for freedmen in the
South, and agricultural schools, public
libraries, &c, in his own neighborhood. .
He ia well known in the West and South
rs man Of exceptional force, high cul-
ture, and broad humanity. His age and
failing health have prompted him to this
final attack upon conservatism. We un-
derstand that his executors are strictly
bound to make Of himself the first offer
ing to reform upon the funeral pile which
he hps built, after which it Is to offer to
his native town n ready, cheap and decent
mode Of disposal Of the dead.

colored men behave themselves with
great dignity; when they spear'+hey keep

their meeting which Is striking, The ro-

the rural delegates who were anxious to
have the next annual Conference at Os-

there might be strengthened, beseeched
the Conference to reconsider their action

You could not keep good man in the
woods; he'd work his way up. Two
classes were hard to deal with in the
Conference; the good men whom every
church wanted, and the poor preachers
who were not wanted at all. The Bishop
made the candidates promise that they
wouldn't speak too loud or too
long, or dance all over the pull.
/ pit like dancing master. He told
them to "be sho' to stop" when they ..got
done;r! to be kind TO the children; and be
repeated the story Of the New York
minister, who 'was so sanctimonious in
one Of his visits to family, that after he
had went the. e.children asked II he was the
Lord. The bishop babe the ministers
not 10 smoke, chew or drink. He ques-
toned each ope separately about their use
Of tobacco, and learned that all except
one had used 1t up to within week or
two Of Conference.
Brother Ross, who had Just taken a
chew, thought the young men might
mean day or two, but the Bishop said
no one'had right TO question their vera
city.
Brother Williams said that the minis.
Ter who would make solemn oath not to
use tobacco any more, and would go atit
again as soon as Conference was over
why he wouldn't trust such man with
his dinner. Smoking preachers were first
cousins to rummies. Heused tobacco for
fourteen years, and then found out that
tobacco. had been using him. God AL
mighty 'never intended man to smoke,
or he would have put chimney in his
head.
The special commissioners on the trou-
bles Of the Fleet Street Methodist Church
reported that they had discovered that in
the document signed by 100 names, recit-
ing the grievances against the Rev. Jere.
mfah Beulaah Murray, the names had all
been written by one person. Accepting
1t in good faith, however, they found
nothing in il to warrant any trial Of Mr..
