BALTIMORE, May 2G Bishop Peck
presided over the Methodist Episcopal
Conference. The report on freedmen
was taken up. The amount collected IN
three years and four months for freed
men was nearly $500 800. The report
saws there is real danger that freedmen
may to large degree be perverted to
Rome. The em55aric8 OF this Church
are already at work among them, ana
they are meeting with success. They
are filing their schools with the child
rem and their asylums with orphans Of
the coiored people.
Tho plans Of tho Papal Propaganda
are far-sccing, and they never make
haste. 1t is very well understood that
whoever shall educate the freedraon will
also possess them enthusiastically, and
the Romish Church has earnestly en-
tered upon this work. 1t Is said that
there is large class OF colOred young
men from the South some say nearly q
hundred under training in Rome gpr
the priesthood, who will, after q few
wears, reappear in their native land as
propagators OF the Romi5h faith.
1t Is not as alarmi5tS that we state
these things, but simply as utterinE a
warning that the Protestant3 or America
should hear and heed at the peril oi
their own religious faith. The duty oi

IL is q fact that IN nearly every large
city tho ladies in a congregation become
sentimental regarding their postor- IT is
the experience OK nearly every minister

idleness aud living in luxury. Religion
is akin to sentiment, and when a minis

draws toward him natural sentiment.

The Old, Old story.

Her mother had told her not to
marry until she thought she was able
to support husband; but she heed
ed not her gentle mothers warning;
she went and got civil-contracted to
a man that was a fine, long winded
talker, and could sit around and keep
a stove warm better than any one
she ever saw in her life. And then
how proficient he was in lying in
bed snoring on a December morning
while she got up and split the wood,
made the FIRE, fed the horses, swept
the floor, boiled the coffee, blacked
his boots, mended that hole in his
coat, sewed on that shirt button, and
laid a pipe full of tobacco alongside
his pillow. And how loving she
must have felt towards him when he
got up at last about 10 o'clock, cursed
her for making noise, and wanted
to know why there was no beefsteak
and eggs on the table, and why she
hadn't pawned her watch--it was a
dying mothers gift-in order to
give him money to get his bitters.
And when, after three years of this,
she left him and went to work as a
sewing girl, people spoke of the de-
pravity of the. woman who had left
her husband.

Joy followed by Death.

Mary Mcguire journeyed from Ire
land six years ago and settled in Bay
onne with her son John. He died
and she was seut to the almshouse.
Last week she returned to Bayoune,
and begged for money to send her
to Ireland, where she could die sur
rounded by her friends. She is over
seventy wears old. Officer Whitney
procured her the passage money,
and on Wednesday visited the resi-.
dence of friend where the old lady
was living. She could hardly re-
strain her joy when told that he was
to conduct her to the steamship.
After she had bade farewell to her
hostess and was on the threshold of
the door, she uttered slight scream
and fell to the floor. She died be-
fore medical assistance could be
procured. Death,th Physician said
was from excess Of JOY.

Counting the Vote.

The New York Tribune in speak
ing ofthe counting of the Presiden-

ment that the decision of the people
be honestly carried out than that
either Hayes or Tilden he elected
President. The evils to follow the
making of a President by fraudulent
or forced count of returns are inf
nitely greater than those to be appr, I.

didate Of either party. Purity Of
the ballot is to be desired before par
ty success. The parties need
have no fears of not being supported
by the masses of the people, Repub-

they may make for an honest ballot;
and we suggest that they begin at
once the great and much needed
work of purging the polls.
