and beaten his face into a jelly, and then
got an old meat.ax and cut his head off
and placed it as before described. The
boys from town, as soon as they got
there, dismounted, surrounded the
house and demanded the surrender OF
the parties. They came out shouting,
and the leader told the men to take the
boys guns away from them, and they
would cut their heads off while alive.
They advanced and were told to halt,
but did not stop, and before they reached
the young men they were fred upon,
and two were killed. This did not stop
the other two, who kept on. One Of
them was knocked on the head with a
gun and very dangerously wounded.
The party then surrounded the others,
who are now in jail. There are four
women, two girls, two boys between IA
and II years old, and two babies. The
affair has created great excitement, and
but for the GOODNESS and humanity of
some of the crowd there would not be
so many of them in Jail. Cobb is still at
large. He came from Michigan, and
was tarred, feathered, and run out of
that State years ago for his free-love
Mormon doctrines.

A SMALL CHURCH AND SHORT
SERMONS.

Westdale, a little parish in England,
has the smallest church in that country,
and it is very diminutive affair. It has
but eight pews and yet is capable Of &C
commo datiDg double the population of
the district. The rector opens the
church himself and rings the bell. Then
he dons the ecclesiastical robes in the
presence Of his congregation. There is
no musical instrument in the church,
and the minister leads the singing. His
sermons are very short, a recent one oe-
cupylng only seven and quarter min
utes in its delivery. Two services are
held every Sunday, and this rector,
clerk, precenter, sexton, bell ringer and
church. warden all combined in one re-
ceives for the performance Of his varied
duties the modest little salary 81 about
$3OO.

A BARE STORY.

Our Francestown correspondent sends
US the following: During our. "town
meeting last March the question of
equalization Of school money was being
discussed. One old gentleman, in the
course Of the debate, exclaimed in great
heat: aWhy, Mr.. Moderator, the
money is not equally divided. In dis
trlct No. they have $67, and only one
bare little girl, and no
more. Now, sir, what should be done
n such case :" There was pause for
q moment, when chap with pipe in

THE PHILOSOPHY OF IT.
BY MARY KELLEY EQUITABLE,


Why do I love you? don't know!
They say Loyo never gives reason;
But that he has one don't doubt.
Do you? You do! That's downright trcaso,
Not always, let me tell you. sir, s.r.r...
Love practised such excess Of prudcnce;
Twas once his custom to explain
The why and wherefore to his students.
And how to solve each puzzling case
He taught by rules and illustrations;
But skeptlcs, such as you, have made
Love shy of giving demonstrations.
Why foolish mortals love at all,
Why We two hold each other dearest:
How long twill last, and where twill end,
You'd like to know, you precious querist?
You never will! I'll tell you that,
Yet still maintain my first assertion;
Love understands what hos about,
Apd blinds you, first, for his diversion.
All, why love you! If I knew,
would not tell you-no, no, never!
For souls like yours were made to seek,
And mine to hide, you see, forever.
There's little, sir, you don't find out,
But since that little makes life pleasant,
think I'll keep it secret still, 49,.
And 80 keep you, too, for the present.

EPISCOPAL METHODISM.

The Basis of a ReMniOn-O Origin OF tho
Separations.
The questions Of difference between
the two branches Of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church, which have been adjusted
by the commission whose address on the
subject was published the other day,
had their origin mainly in the slavery
discussion that preceded the war. The
question had agitated the church for a
long time when several general confer
ences of the church condemned the
owning of slaves, which eliminated in
1914 by the passage of resolution in
General Conference by vote of Ill
yeas to SO nays, which declared that
Bishop James O. Anderson cease the
exercise of the duties of his office so
long as he remained stakeholder.
Many attempts to reconcile the ill-feel-
ings which this action occasioned were
made, and delegates from thirteen an
nual conferences presented declaration
that the passage of this resolution Unjust
produce state of things in the South
which renders continuance of the juris
diction of the General Conference over
these conferences inconsistent with the
success of the ministry in the slavehold-
ing States" The subject was referred
to committee of nine, who reported q
plan Of agreement which made pro-
vision for separation in case the neces-
sity for it should arise, by laying out
boundary lines and making an equitable
adjustment of property.
On the day following the adjournment
of the conference, the Southern dele
gates published call for convention
of the slaveholding churches to meet in
Louisville, Ky, on May l, 1845. That
convention affirmed that the conferences
there represented were district con-
vention under the name of "The Meth
odist Episcopal Church South" It also
provided for first general conference,
which met at Petersburg, Va, in May
of the following year. By decision of
the Supreme Court of the United States
the property was divided in accordance
with the provisions of the plan. From
that time until the present the two
branches of the church have remained
distinct. As the slavery controversy
progressed, tho breach between them
widened and eliminated at last in the
var itself, which divided Northern and
Southern institutions of every kind. The
church South was severely crippled by
the war, but has revived materially since
then, and in 1874 it had 1874 travelling
preachers, with 663, LOG members and
$40, lob Sunday school teachers and
scholars. For several years past efforts
have been made to form reunion of the
churches as they were before 1S45. The
subject was before the late General Con-
ference in Baltimore, commission
representing both churches was ap-
pointed, and the result has been basis
of union, agreed upon unanimously, and
which it is believed will result in entire
pacifcation and fraternal accord.-New

TIE FRIENDS or OLD.

H.
Ye friends Of old, ye olden friends,
Where are ye all to.day7
Come back again this evening-hour,
And tell me where ye stray.
I'm tired tonight alone dream,
And, sitting in the twilight-ahade, @
Let Memory bring 70 back once more,
Ere thoughts in sleep are laid.
I'd have 70 como in many throng,
And whisper to me one by one,
OF days sgone, Of scenes once viewed,
OF things together we have done.
I see ye All: but, scattered far,
Some cross the seas now roam,
While many in the churchyard sleep,
And others, blessed at home,
Are musing, as am tonight,
Ger days Of "Auld Lang Syne,"
And dreaming Of past happy hour,
OF youths bright summer-time.

MIXTURE OF RACES IN EUROPEAN
TURKEY,

MIXTURE OF RACES IN EUROPEAN
TURKEY
Our recent reference to the strong
anti Slavonian feeling of the Alba
nese race in Turkey has been quickly
confirmed. Sixteen thousand we'll
armed Albanese have joined the Turkish
army at Orkup, west of Nisch. 1t may
not be amiss to observe that even Ser
via, small as it is-with but little more
than 100000 inhabitants-is by no
means homogeneous in race or speech.
Its eastern districts are inhabited by
Wallachs, or Romans, who just now
give great trouble in Leshjanin's army.
In the southeast of Servia, section of
Bulgars dwell within the frontier, and
they, after all, are also race different
from the Serbo-Slavs. In Bosnia, as
we have before stated, the Christian
Slavs and the Mohammedans nearly bal
ance each other. Turning to the rem
nant Of European Turkey, we find the
Albanese, or Arnauts, along the Adriatic
and Ionian sea, from the frontier of
Montenegro down to the boundary of
Greece. The territory between the Al
banese districts and the Moldo Wall
chan frontier, where the Roumans dwell,
is mainly inhabited by Bulgars, but
with odd sprinklings of Arnauts, Turks,
and various other races. In the eastern
part Of European Turkey, from Philip
popolis to Kirkilissi, and up to the from.
tier of Roumania, the Turks and the
Bulgars are represented in about equal
numbers, in hopeless intermixture. At
the very edge of tho Black sea shore the
Greeks come in; and in the projecting
tongue of land which stretches out
toward Constantinople there is an inter-
mixture of Turks and Greeks. In the
provinces near the Egean sea, Greeks
alternate with Turks and Bulgars. In
the districts near the Greek border the
Turkish, Helene, Wallachian and AL.
banese races form tumble which it is
impossible to disentangle. This is only
a description made in the gross, without
entering into the variegated deta Is of
the confusion often found in many a
single town or village. Enough has,
however, been said to show what diff
culties attend all attempts of "solving
the Eastern question. "-Loedon Er-

Land reared in the country, at least
5000 lives would be annually saved to
the population; second, could the NOR
tality of the towns be brought down to
that OF the mainland districts, upward
of $4,000 lives would be thus saved to
the population, and every Individual
living in the large towns would, on an
average, live TO- years longer than he
has any chance of doing at present Still
further, if from the rural districts were ex-
cluded the towns with populations vary

the mean age at death would have been
been about 40 years instead of IS, and.

would be increased about fifteen wears.

A CALIFORNIA EDEN.

A correspondent of tile Springfield
Republican gives the following account
of the wonderful fertility of the soil at
Santa Rosa, CAL, three hours ride by
boat and rail from San Francis: Many
of these trees have been invaded by rose
bushes. and I saw one tree, fully forty
feet high, which was so covered with
white blossoms that it was difficult to
determine the groundwork upon which
they grew. Speaking of the roses, I
may say that Santa Rosa was feicitous
name for the town, for in no other part
of the country do these cherished pets
OF nature grow in such profusion. Col.
Armstrong has most wonderful gar
den, in which I saw over fifty varieties
of roses, growing in the open air, and
glowing with white, yellow, pink, buff,
scarlet and crimson. There were pep
per trees from the East Indies, palms
from Africa and the Sandwich islands,
bananas from Central America, flags
from New Zealand, magnolias from the
Southern States, eucalypti from Aus
tralia, Expresses from the mountains and
from Europe, myrtles from Palestine
and Greece, and Paulonia tree from
Japan, which reaches height of forty
feet, and revels in leaves of the size and
Shape OF elephants car. XII Il ttlhesg
trees and flowers remained out of doors
without protection during the past win
Tor. III iruit trees there were figs,
oranges, lemons and almonds, peaches,
plums and apples, besides all manner of
grapes, including a black Hamburg,
which distinguished itself by growing
fifteen feet in the last twelve months in
open air. Everything grows in the town
without irrigation, excepting strawber.
RES, and some products attain enormous
size, notably the horseshoe geranium.
which forms dense hedges Of scarlet
bloom, fuchsias which cover the sides
OF houses, and lemon verbenas, which
have so puny and precarious a growth
IN the East, but which grow here to a
height of ten feet, and with main stock
three inches il diameter, and heavy
enough for cordwood. In many or.
chards saw fruit forming on trees
which were plante,! only seventeen
months previous, and eucalyptus trees
which were in pots six years ago, are
now between thirty or forty feet high,
indeed, it is difficult to say what will
not grow in this section, for everything
hat is tried has yielded good returns.

RAILROAD SQUABBLE.

The Queen Annes e. Kent and Kent
county Railroads seem to be having consid-
erable trouble which has continued ever
since the Kent county company has been
running its trains to Clayton. The cause
of the disagreement between the roads is the
O. A. Co., wished the X. G. Co., to run Its
trains over the Queen Annes road to Town
send, from Masseys, which the X. c.. Co.,
refuses to do. Last year the Queen Annes
& Kent Co., tried to make the K. c., pay
$4OO for using about 400 feet of its track,
which it has to do at Massey's in crossing
over to the Bombay Hook branch. But it
seems that there is a law in Maryland regu-
latinR such charges upon railroads In that
state. on the pro rate plan. According to
this pro rate law the Queen Annes Compa-
nv was entitled to only SO instead Of $500
Accordingly go was the sum paid to the
agent at Massey's, by W. D. HAZEL, finan;
cisl agent on the Kent County road, and
duly receipted for by the Massey,s agent
To make matters hot for the X. C., Hon
B. T. Biggs, President of the Queen Anne'
d Kent road, is lobbying the Maryland Leg
islature to have this pro rate law repealed
in which event he proposes to sue out an in
junction to prevent the Kent County traini
from running over this 40 feet Of its track
But it is stated that he has the Baltimore
l. Ohio Company against him, as the Law
was passed for that Company's benefit
number of years ago.
