Ringing Resolutions of the N. E. Con-
ference. - e
Boston, April 4.-The New England
conference Of the Methodist Episcopal
church opened here this morning The
following resolutions were offered and
referred to q special committee of five:
Resolved, That WI are alarmed and
filled with apprehension for the future
when we contemplate the practical
sale of one Of the great political parties
of the Republic by two politicians of
that party, who have held and now
hold very intimate relations to the Pres
ident, thus sacrificing principle and
party and righteousness for the sake of
temporary success. -1iIEN
Resolved, That we protest most
earnestly against the action of the
new administration in making terms
with the chiefs Of the ku klux instiga-
tor of the Hamburg massacre, M. G.
Butler, and still more earnestly do we
protest against the official recognition
by the administration of that arch
enemy of the Republic, who long since
ought to have been hung for treason
Wade Hampton, Of South Carolina,
and who now, by threats and intimi-
dalton under the very ROOT of the White
House, as well as on railroad platforms,
and in other public places, deties The
power Of the government and DULLES
the President into compliance with his
~traitorous and wicked usurpations.
The resolutions were received with
applause.

The Unhappy Ponca Chiefs.

Several of the Ponca chiefs who went
with the Indian Inspector to the Indian
territory last month to select a lot a lily
for that tribe arrived ut Sioux City last
Saturday. They tell a pitiful story OF
their suffering, and the means used to
induce them to relinquish their reser-
walton in Dakota. They claim that
they were deceived, and that the prom
ises made by the government agents
have not been fulfilled ; that they dc
not like the Indian territory, and do
not want to 60 there, and appeal to the
president, by telegram from Sioux City:
To THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES, WASHINGTON, d. G. : Did you
authorize the man you sent to take us
down to the Indian territory to select a
place for oul future home to leave us
there to find u way back as best we
could if we did not agree to go down
there ? This he told us and left us
without a pass, interpreter, or money
because we could not select one of
three places, telling us if we did not go
there ~peaceably we would be driven by
soldiers at the point of the bayonet,
from our present homes. We were SO
left and have been thirty days getting
to the Omahas, hungry, tired, shoeless,
footsore, and sad at heart. Please an
swer us at ace for we are in trouble.
Signed by White Eagle, Standing
Buffalo, Standing Bear, Smoke Maker,

and Garega.
The remainder of the party are at
the Omaha reservation.

The troops ut Russell and Carlin
were paid off on Monday last and have
been enjoying themselves hugely ever
since. They have a quietly happy way
of getting drunk and wandering aim
lessly about the streets in a manner
which is ''too comical for anything"
Many who dislike the irksome duties
and routine of garrison life have been
engaged since pay day in concocting
schemes for Guiding their commanders
and deserving. They sneak around the
second hand Cheap John shops, pur-
chase cast-off citizens clothing, discard
their uniforms, and make a break for
liberty, but are generally caught
and sent to the guard-house, or even
worse punishment inflicted.
A large number of cavalrymen who
had o~verstayed their leave of absence
were picked up by a lieutenant and
squad of men ut the calaboose and
about the streets on yesterday. One
soldier, who was fighting drunk, endeav-
ored to raise a row and leaped
from the wagon at the corner Of 10th
and Ferguson, several times, attracting
a large crowd by his rantankerousness.
Finally Officer Curran arrested and led
him to Fishers court, but the 1ieuten-
ant secured his release. and the entire
lot were taken to the Fort. While the
officers attention was diverted by this
incident, two of his prisoners sprang
from the wagon and escaped.

Tweed and

New York, April 4.-Great efforts to
prevent the consummation of the COM
promise by the release of Tweed have
been made the past week by men still
in the legislature and courts said to be
most involved by the expected disclos-
ures regarding the passage of the
Tweed charter. Among the documents
in the hands of the Harpers for future
publication is said to be evidence that
S250,0O was divided among five Re
publican legislators to secure the pas
sage of this charter. The suppression
of this evidence, it is understood, will
depend upon the alacrity with which
those who received it repay it to the
state.

DEEP SEA LIFE.

The mystery of deep sea life lies in thu
fact that here are multitudes of representa-.
tlves of the animal world, which, in virtue
; OF their animality, are incapable of nourish-
ing themselves upon inorganic matter, yet
which are living miles below the limit at
which vegetable life ceases. Some of the
organism found in deep sea soundings are
undoubtedly of vegetable nature; but
these are surface-living diatoms, on other
forms, which sink when they die. This
animal life at the sea bottom is capable of
appropriating as food the organic matter
held dissolved in the ocean water, as well
as the inorganic substances necessary for
The formation of its skeleton and the gases
required for respiration. For life at the
lotion OF the sea is essentially like al.
other animal life; it requires food to eat,
air to breathe, and minerals from which to
elaborate its frame work. Careful expert
laent has solved the difficulty; the surface.
living nutriment descends after death: slow
y and laboriously the life-sustsining oxygen
makes its way from the surface where cold
and darkness reign, and as slowly the poi
sonous carbolc acid-the result alike Of
life and death-makes its way to the sur.
face. Thus, just such life as can exist un
der the difficult. conditions there present,
.oes exist in enormous extent

10 COFFEE WHOLESOME,

know it is palatable, as very fewf feopl.
dislike it; but many eschew it on account
Of its deleterious effects. Its odor in pre-.
pairing is delicious, far more 80 than the
actual drinking of It. Il am as fond of it as
any one, but have not taken cup in twen-
ty-fve years. It is more productive of
bile, especially to people of sedentary
habits, than any other thing that can be
drank or eaten. Indeed, the most note d
physicians protest against its use beyond q
single cup at breakfast il which proper
ton it can be taken with safety. But
where it is profusely indulged in, 1t is as in
furious to health as an alcoholic stimulant.
If one pound Of coffee should be used as to
last family of ten person for week, see
it stated, no hurtful result would ensue
But here it should stop. should think,
however, that by persons accustomed to
severe outdoor exercise or labor of anykind,
it could, to a4arger extent, be taken with
safety. Children should never touch it, or
tea either, except the latter be very weak. |
The old-fashioned way of making coffee il
undoubtedly the best, which is to buy the
coffee in the grain, scorch it until it is
Light brown, and grind it as it is wanted.
The watersshould be boiling when poured
over the coffee, the pot of course closed
tightly, land then give it another boil for
minute OR two, and it will soon be sufi.
ciently clear to use.
