The General Conference Of the Metho.
dist Episcopal Church South met in
Atlanta on last Wednesday, and will
continue so as embrace the following
Sabbath. It is splendid body of men,
having o membership Of over six hun
drei, and will compare most favorably
with any eimilar body of men in the
world in point of ability and exalted
character. At the present session there
will be very large attendance, and some
of the most vital subjects connected with
Methodism in the South will be present
ed &C. discussion and action. The ses-
sions of this body ere always marked
with crest interest to tho entire denomi-

Although comparisons are odious,
thera seems to be disposition to contrast
the management of the late Centennial
Exhibition with the manner In which the
Paris Exhibition progressing is 20 be
conducted. The Centennial was most
literally conducted, go that exhibitors
were at as little cost and annoyance as
possible, but the papers cay that the
Paris Exposition is to be more eccnomi-
cal in these particulars. Exhibitors will
DO required to pay for transferring their
goods 70 the various departments 70
which they belong, and to pay for sweep
ing, the water used, and 80 on. The
representatives from the different govern.
ments will also be limited. The United
States has appointed about one hundred
and fifty commissioners, and it is not
now thought that more than three of this
number will bo granted free admittance,
The number In ridiculously large, and a
slur upon our nation, but the action of
the management OF the Exhibition IL
Picayunish anu ridiculous. It will no
doubt, however, be very grand success.

A special dispatcN from San Antonio,
Texas, says that the better class of Mexi-
cans in that city are very excited o.er
Mexican affairs, and all are in sympathy
with the contemplated movement against
Diaz. The presence of Gen. Escobedo
in Galveston, and the various kilograms
he is sending to different parts of the
Sts'e, indicate business of serious ma
ture. Col. Paul John T. Marsh, now
here, yesterday received commission "a
BriG.dier General from Lerdo. It is said
that this officer and Escobedo are pro-
curing arms and ammunitions for the
Lerdists. Great secrecy is maintained,
but enough can be seen here to warrant
the belief that great rebellion will
occur in Mexico at no far distant day.

who Was informed upor By McEvoy,
were brought before Judge McIver upon
8 "rit of hateas corpus and, after hear
ing q che evidence, discharged upon one

look like there was much truth in the

fessed TO the crime, and is now trying 10
save his neck by duplicating others.
His efforts do not appear 10 meet with

The Baker county case is shown up
quite as completely. It will be remem.
hered that this county, reliably demo-
cratic and near to the capital, was held
back until the very last. The official re.
turns gave the democrats 95 majority.
BY q strange coincidence the State was
inst evenly balanced on the prima facie
returns without this county, so that as it
eteed I:!;;33esss:: rTould have had the STATE bv
80 majority or just his majority in Baker

Hayes should have the prima facio .ictory
SO that there would be no appearance of
changing the verdict of tho people. Ae-
cordingly. q newjustice of the peace was
appointed, and new return made by
dropping out two precincts, so that It
gave Hayes an apparent majority of 80.

The following proclamation, setting apart
Thursday. Nov. %, as a day OF thanksgiving,
has been issued:
BIZ the President of the United States,
A PROCLAMATION:
The recurrence Of that season at Whl;hlt Is
the habit Of our people to make deVout and
public confession of their constant dependence
moon the divine favor for all the good gifts OF
life and happiness. and Of public peace and
prosperity. exhibits, in the record OF the year,
abundant reasons for our gratitude and thanks
giving. Exuberant harvests. productive mlnes'
ample crops Of staples, OF trade and manurao-
lures, have enriched the country. Inc re-
sources thus furnished to our reviying ndus-
try and expanding are Fastening the
day when discord and distresses, through the
length and breadth Of the land, will, under the
continued favor Of Providence, have given way
to confidence and energy, and assured prosper
ity. Peace with all nations has remained I'M
broken, domestic tranquility has prevailed,
and the institutions OF liberty and justice,
which the wisdom and virtue Of our fathers
established, remain the glory and defense OF
their children. The general prevalence OF the
blessings Of health through our wide land has
made more conspicuous the sufferings and sor'
rows which the dark shadow OF pestllence has
cast upon a portion of our people. This heavy
affection even the Divine Ruler has tempered
to the suffering communities In the universal
sympathy and succor which have flowed to
their relief, and the whole nation may rejoice
in the unity Of spirit in Cur people BY, which
they cheerfully share one another's burden.
Now, therefore, I, Rutherford B. Hayes,
President Of the United States, do appoint
Thursday, the 29th day Of November next,
as a day Of national Thanksgiving and
prayer and earnestly recommend that,
withdrawing themselves from secular cares and
labofs, the people Of the United States do meet
together on that day in their respective places
OF worship. there to give thanks and praise to
Almighty God for his mercies' and to devoutly
Eeseech their continuance.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my
hand and caused the seal Of the United States
to be affixed. -.

Journalistic Amenities.

A Californian editor invested in a
mule, and the fact was chronicled under
the heading, Remarkable instance of
self.possession." Said one Milwaukee
editor of another: "He is one of the
few journalists who can put anything in
his mouth without fear of its stealing
anything )" and when a Western editor
wrote, ave cannot tell a lie !; it was
cold yesterday )" his rival quoted the
remark with the addition, "The latter
statement is incontrovertible !; but the
former?"
Said an Idaho journal ; "The weather
has been hot again for the last few days
the only relief We could get was to lie
down on the Portland Herald and cover
ourselves with the Portland Bulletin
there is a great GOODNESS between them"
This kind If GOODNESS often brings about
an amusing interchange of incivilities.
A Michigan journalist declared in his
paper that a certain editor had seven
toes. The slandered man thereupon re.
lieved his mind in a "leader," denounc.
ing the statement as unwarranted, and
it's author devoid of truth and a scoun
drel to boot. The offending gentleman
replied that he never wished it to be un-
derstood that all the seven toes were
upon one foot :; and the disguised victim
of the "sell," appealing to his readers,
asked care these subjects which
ought to be discussed in organs whose
duty it is to mold public opinion ?"
Another worthy, of whom an enemy
affirmed that he had just made the
strange discovery that he could wag bis
left ear, did not condescend to impeach
the truth of the statement, but made
mhtters even, by declaring. that the man
wac gave it currency had both his aural
appendages under such control as to be
able to fan himself with them in hot
weather.
When one journal talked in it's leading
article of "butterei thunder" a con-
temporary politely desired to know if
that had any affinity to "greased light
ming )" forcing the explanation that by q
typographical error "muttered thun-
der was tue article intended.
When q Western editor wrote, "We
are living at this moment under a
despotism," his opponent kindly e1-
planned "Our contemporary means to
say he has lately got married. A news
paper writer asserts that his ancestors
had been in the habit of living a hup-
dred years :; to which another responds
ss That must have been before the intro
duction of capital punishment" The
proprietor of q Western journal an
! nouuced his intention of spending fifty
dollars on ga new head" for it. "Don't
do it." advised a rival sheet "better
keep the money and buy n new head for
the editor" that gentleman being evi.

frugal mental capacity" as an Oregon

New.MOWn Hay.
Sweet! oh, sweet, from the fields to-day
Watts the breath Of the new-mown hay.

Sweet! oh, sweet, from the fields to-day
Watts the breath Of the new-mown hay.
Sewing away in a happy dream,
] sit in the porch with my long white seam.
The very silence is like a tune
Sung to the golden afternoon.
While the house is still, and the meadows lie
Fast asleep meath the radiant sky.
Only at intervals, now and then,
I hear the farmer call to his men,
And the farmers voice is dear to me
As ever q mortal voice can be.
You may talk of the love Of youth and maid,
OF two, in childhood, perhaps, who played
Together BY rill, and fount, and tree,
Till their hearts had grown one heart to be
You may tell Of the loyal faith and life
OF the husband dear and the gentle wife;
! But the widowed mother leans closer on
The tender strength Of her only son.
All what if the farmer Of mine one day
Should seek him a bride, as we'll he may,
And bring her home, would I be 10th,
Mother and friend, to live for both?
For somehow the scentof the new-mown hay
Carries me back to a far off day,
When my silver hair was in waves OF brown
When my bashful glances kept looking down,
and swift to my cheek, in a sudden red,
Mounted the blush, at a soft word said.
Truly the days Of my youth were sweet,
Ere the path was rough to my toilinS feet.
Truly the morning of life was blest,
And yet in sooth is the evening best.
For I've learned the lesson that joys must fly,
And the proudest hopes, like flowers die.
But God abides in His heaven, and BE
Will never forget to care for me.
Sweet /! oh, sweet, is the new.mown hay,
Waiting its breath from the fields to-day.
Sweets the golden afternoon,
With its silence rhythmic, as q tune,
And dear to the soul is the calm content,
or hours in grateful trusting spent.
