The Wilmington Annual Conference.

Preparations are now being made for the
reception of the ministers of the Whining
ton NJ. E. Conference, which will convene in
in this City on the 18th. of the present
month. This Conference is the largest
ecclesiastical body on the Peninsula, and has
held one session in this city before, upon the
year of its organization, 1t being an off
Shoot from the old Philadelphia Conference.
The ministers will be assigned homes among
the Methodist families Of the City, and the
"homes" are now being arranged, an ad list
of them will soon be published. The Pre-
siding Bishop, for the year will be Bishop
Scott, of Odessa in this State. the only ma
tive DELAYS arean who holds that position in
the Methodist church. Bishop Scott,
is one of the "old" bishops, and
although at the present time a
| very old man, is active and ever
Jealous in his official capacity. No bishop
of the church is more highly thought ofthan
he. His son. Rev. A T. Scott is very we'll
known in this City.
The following members of the confer
ence were elected secretaries last year,
and will no doubt be continued in office.
Tbos. E. Martindale, Secretary; John R..
Rigg. Journal Secretary, D. G. Ridgway,
Statistical Secretary; E. H. Nelson, Assist
ant Secretary. Mr.. Martindale has been
the secretary of the Conference for many
years, and has always been reelected. One
of the most important questions that will
occupy the attention Of the Conference
| will be the election of delegates to the
General Conference Of the Church which
will be held at Baltimore this year, and
the instructions which will he given to
them in regard to the proposed changes in
the office OF Presiding Elder. Heretofore 1t
has been solely under the charge of the
Bishop, who appoints them arbitrarily, and
who consults them in regard to the minis
terial appointments. 1t is now proposed to
make some change in the Office, so that
either there shall be but one in the Confer
ence where there are now four, or make the
Office elective by the members.
It is quite probable that the delegates
will not be instructed in the matter at all !,
but the selection of the men will pretty
certainly test the feeling of the Conference
on this point.
There are now in the Conference one
hundred and twenty-five ministerial men,
bers, all of whom will be distributed
among the Methodist families of this city.
The anniversaries which take place during
the session will be announced from time to
time, and they are always interesting. The
Conference session, as has already been
announced, will be held In Union church,
corner of Fifth and Washington street.

The Ps'OsMenading Season.

The promenading season is now almost at
hand, as soon as the genial sunshine shall
have marked its sottenipg influences on the
icy breath Of winter, the hills, the valleys,
and the forests assume their yer durc, the
promenading season will begin In earnest.
The longing for that season can be easily
judged by the readiness with which peolpe
avail themselves Of the opportunity for
promenading with every day that is temper
cd with gentle change of atmosphere, and
lit up by ray of sunshine. The Brandy.
wine with its,romantic sights, forms stroLg
attractions to those fond of out door cxer-
oise. and has been largely visited even dur
ing the past winter months. Delaware ave-
nue. is an old promenading route, and upon
any pleasant Sunday afternoon, is thronged
with pedestrians. With the advent OF
March, we arc reminded that the prone.
nading season has nearly arrived, and that
the grounds usually used for such purposes
will present lively and pleasing appear
ance.

As true as every "laddie has his lassie"
is it that every corporation has its troubles,
that shakes it from centre to circumfer-
ence. New Castle, the staid, quiet old city
down by the river, the home of pleasing in
cidents, antiquities that:have found place in
the broad pages Of history, and the whip
plug post and pil|ory, is now in the midst Of
one Of these little agitations. DR.. Maxwell
has pointed out to the School Board where
they have erred most seriously. But they
think the Doctor is mistaken, and he has
seen fit to send In his resignation prior to
any event. The grievance which the Doc
tor relates is that sufficient accommo:a-
tions a:e not made for the children in the
primary departments, as he stated to a rep
resentative of this paper yesterday thai In
of whom are under the management of one
aud the Board refused 70 grant 1t.
The fight which DR.. Maxwell makes is
upon the distinction in classes, which he
Shyb tuhC uDucT ICpuUlcdA 1Oi" Va SO'-
ernment cannot be noticed without indigna-
tion. The way this is done is that the
children of the poorer classes arc entered
at the primary schools, and when they ar.
rive at the ages oftwelve and thirteen years
are taken away and placed at trades. Thus
not entering the higher schools with those
of Weather parents, and by this means the
majority, in fact, the double majority in the
primary schools are the children OF poor
parents.
Another reason for the fight against the
action of the Board is that while they grant
to the grammar schools every facility, both
in teachers and in books, they deny both TO
the primary schools. 1t has caused 10 lit
tie excitement in New Castle, and may have
serious bearing upon the next school board
election there which takes place on Satur-
day. As the press is not admitted to the
meetings of the Board, for reasons that
are known only to the members, and we
must therefore depend upon rumo7 for in
formation.

Tho Pyotsssiosssl Q,aicksteps.

1t seems now to be the intention Of the
Quickstep Base Ball Association, which or
ganized last evening at the store of Mr..
Pearce, on Market street above Sixth, to
make professional club of the team for
the present season.
On Monday evening, Mr.. Hindle, the
forme captain ofthe nine, was sent to
Philadelphia to the meeting of the clubs
in that city, who are opposed to the action
of the National League, headed by the au-
thorities, and who were getting ready to
send delegates to the National Association,
which meets tomorrow at New Haven.
Yesterday afternoon, tMr. Hindle, under
directions from the Association, left for New
Haven, and he will represent the Quick.
steps in the Association. The Reading club
has also sent delegate, and will join the
league.
Various comments are made upon this
new departure of the Quicksteps, but it
would be unfavorable now to say what
effect 1t will have upon the game In this
city. Weare told that the movement has
been contemplated for some time, but this
10 the first public evidence that they have
given of their change Of base. In conver-
sstion with supporter Of the game last
night, who has always taken active interest
in the game, he said that he hoped that the
club would be conducted upon the same
principles Of honesty and fair play 40 for
merly, in which case he did not think that
any harm would come of the movement,
but If there were any indications Of dishon-
est dealings in our game, the club will be
ruined.
From what we know of the managers of
the association, there is every reason to be-
lieve that the club will be conducted as
fairly and honestly as ever. They are with
out exception, so far as we know honorable
and fair gentlemen, and will do nothing to
bring discredit upon the game.

The story is told of an American in
Paris. who, being about to leave for
New York, bought half dozen pecu-
liar looking pencil cases, at ninety
FIVE cents each, for presents to friends
at home. In Regent street, London,
he saw some more at only seventy
each, and bought another half dozen,
thinking that Paris pencils at that
price were a bargain. In Liverpool
he purchased another half dozen at
only thirty-five cents each. "Singu-
lar" he observed, somewhat surpris-
ed, "but it seems the further one gets
from Paris the cheaper articles of
Psrisian manufacture become. At
this rate / should have done better
