ted what We thought would be q RENE
dy for some Of the evils complained Of.
We find we are not alone In criticising
the modern mode Of conducting funer-
ais. The Philadelphia Star says, that
some Of the clergy of that city have ta-
ken the matter in hand and are hand
ling ii with an earnestness and vigor
that gives promise of good results. II
the ridiculous custom now in vogue OF
having immense displays % carriages,
and OF wearing what is called ieep
mourning, which means, enveloping
the bodies of female mourners in black
crepe and cashmere from head to foot,
can be reformed and something more
sensible su ostituted, it will prove a
blessing to many families, even though
it should interfere with the business of
and of establishments that
are devoted to the sale Of what are
known as mourning goods. To bury a
person in anything like fashionable
style now costs nearly as much as
would keep a moderate sized family
for a twelve month.

Choosing Preachers.

The season for our Methodist frie nds
to choose their new preachers for next
spring is swiftly approaching, the Pre-
siding Elders of the respective districts
being now Oh their last Quarterly
rounds, and we mention the fact in order
that we may condemn what appears to
Us as bringing confusion and contention
into church every two or three years,
though no doubt we will be told that it
is none Of our business. This however
we cannot help as we claim for one of
our prerogatives, the right to criticise
anything which may transpire, and to
give our views ,apon all the important
subjects which 'cla(m public attention.
1t is well known by every body that
the Methodist denomination mas an
itineracy in name yet at least, but
which through constant abuse is grow
ing unpopular and hence we hear Of
threatened efforts to abolish it. This
we think wonld be bad move, because
the Methodist church to-day owes her
greatness and her almost unbounded
influence to the itinerant system. IT
was good enough for such Intellectual
giants of Methodism as the Wesleys
Asbury and Whatcoat of primitive
Meaodism, and SCOTT, hemlins, Best
Cartwright and hundreds of others Of
latter day Methodism. 1t is not how
ever 50 much our object to say a word
in favor of the itinerant system as IT is
to say word in, ooHdenpation of the
.nhual habi. On Tyhfs ehough the'fSf.

PURE AIR wANTED.--The hope of re-
ward has always called out the highest
efforts of incentive genius. Men often
accidentally stumble upon new inven.
tions, but more generally they are the
result of careful and long studied brain
work, induced by the expectation of
prospective gain. Impressed with this
belief, the editors of The Plumber and
Sanitary Engineer have offered premi-
um of $500 "tor the best four designs
for houses for workingmen, in which
may be secured proper distribution of
light and pure air, with an arrange
ment ofrooms that will yield a rental
sufficient to pay fair interest on the
Investment" Here is a chance for
builders, architects, plumbers and san
itary engineei, TO DO good in their day
and generation and put money into
their pockets at the same time. The
subject is one of universal interest.
We are all interested in living in build
ings where the latest discoveries in
sanitary science have been combined
to insure comfort and health.
In majority of the houses now built
little or no attention is paid to the vari-
Gus points for which the above premi-
ums are offered. How to secure the
most room out of the smallest space is
generally all that the builder cares for.
Pure air and the proper distribution of
light, are matters that give builders lit
tie concern. How TO make the mos
money out of the investment is thepar
amount question, and to it all the rest
are made subservient. There is ample
room for improvement in this matter,
and although the premiums offered are
small, they will no doubt excite consid-
cradle competition and result in much
permanent good.

Face 10 Face with Disease,

How often it happens that although we have

Others, we disregard his warning signals -.
our own. 1t Is only when we find him face to
lace with us that we really perceive how grim
he is. Then, perchance, when it is too late,
medicinal aid is sought. His avant courier,
his lorerunner, is physical weakness. Fortify
the system and you are armed against him.
The finest tonic for this purpose is Hostetter's s
Stomach Bitters, which renders digestion
easy and complete, nourshes the system, i'm
proves the appetite, gives strength, yielding
sleep, counteracts biliousness, and keeps the
bowels in first rate order. Leanness, and un
natural waness and sallOwress of the face
are obviated by it, and so genial and benefl-
cent are It's effects, that not only is the body
invgOrated and regulated by its use hut de-
spondency banished from the mind.

The CITY Accountant.

The City Council last evening elected
Cornelius Sti9son, Accountant in the
Treasurer's Office, in place of John NJ.
Taylor, who has filed the Office ever
since it was created. The most perfect
confidence has been repOsed in Mr..
Taylor by City Treasurer Vincent, ne
being convinced of his personal integ-
rity and honesty, and as the Account
ant is not required under the cit, Or
dinance to give bond and security, Mr..
Vincent was perfectly satisfied to be
responsible for Mr.. Taylor's actions,
but he does not feel satisfied to become
responsible for any person who the City
Council may send into his office, simply
to make place for a Democrat. Mr..
stinson, the Accountant, is a young
man Of pleasing address and manners,
has an excellent education, and since
the temperance movement broke out
has been member Of the Moral Sua
sion Reform Association. No doubt he
is by education well qualified for the
Office, yet being a stranger to Mr.. Vim
cent, the latter has some hesitation in
reposing the same confidence in him
that he did in Mr.. Taylor, and will in
all probability refuse to let Mr.. stinson
have access to the books of the Office.
As the matter now stands it looks as if
Mr.. Stihson would have an easy berth
Of it, and draw his salary from Council
without rendering an equivalent. We
do not mean to reflect upon Mr.. Stinsen
at all when we say that this is Demo.
cratic civil reform.

voluntary interference with the duties o
the Bishops and Elders Of conference
shows q great lack of confidence II
those heads of the church and only
leads to confusion and discomfort. They
know, if they are faithful shepherds, all
about every church in the jurisdiction,
and being pious, contentious business
like men will do ths best thing posi-
ble in distributing the ministers over the
conference. All that is wanted is q
quiet and confident submission to the
rightful authority, and peace and har'
mony will take the place of discord
There is no warrant as we understand
it in the discipline for any body ol
members of e church agreeing to "call'
such and such pastor or to say that
they will ot receive the one sent them,
but custom has orept into many, in
deed most all Methodist churches fore
stalling the action of the Bishops and
Elders by holding what is known as
informal official meetings and agreeing
upon calling" certain minister; and a
committee is appointed to visit Confer
ence and 'lobby" the thing through.
At the conference the lobbying commit
tee is met by other committees OF the
same kind bent upon the same business
which detracts very much from the
spirituality which should characterize
conference. We see no other wav
for the Bishops to break up this grow
ing evil than to firmly refuse to accede
to the requests of the lobby committees
which infest a conference, and in his
send man who could
not be objected to, but a man who had
not been asked for. We understa nd
that the Union NJ. Z. Church of this
city has taken time by the forelock,
and led off in a reform movement which
we freely commend to all churches. We
are informed that at an informal meet
ing of all the official members of the
church, a motion was passed 10y large
majority to ask for no specified preach.
er next year, but to leave the whole
matter to the Bishops and Elders, and
to accept in christian charity aud conf
dence the preacher who may be sent.
This seems like return to primitive
Methodism which cannot but result in
good, and from what we understand
about the itinerant system we fully
it to all Methodist churches.
