THE CHURCH AND THE SLAVERY
QUESTION.

The general conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church has been in session at Gin
cinnati for nearly three weeks, and has &C
Complished great deal of business of inter.
est to the denomination, inclusive of the
election Of four bishops in place of those
who have died since the last general con.
ference. 1t is now forty-four years since g
similar conference was held in Cincinnati
and the contrast between the body that then
assembled and that now in session is a
marked one. The personnel of the conven-
ton has been completely altered, but few
of those who participated in the conference
of 1886 being now active IN the ministry OF
the church. A deliver for antiquities has
unearthed series of resolutions adopted BY
the conference in 1886 that, in the light oil
subsequent events, have q queer ring. A
short time previous to the assembling OF
the conference an abolition meeting was
held in that city, and it was addressed by
Two Methodist ministers, delegates to the
conference. The next day the conference
adopted these resolutions by a vote of 12O
TO IA:
Resolved, By the delegates of the annual con-
4ereRces, in general conference assembled. that
they disapprove, in the most unqualified sense,
the conduct of the two members of the general
conference who are reported to have lectured
IN this city recently upon and in favor of mod
ern abOIitionism.
ReSOtUed, That they are decidedly opposed to
modern ebolitionism, and wholly disclaim any
right wish or intention, to interfere in the civil
and political relation between master and slave
as 1t exists In the slaveholding States of the
Union.
The Methodist church was not alone in its
opposition to the abolition party in those days.
In fact the churches of all denominations
were arrayed on the side of the shareholders,
and not until the war had been long in pro-
gress did they change their policy. Then
their new-found zeal ran to excess, and they
degraded the pulpit to the level of the politi-
Gal rostrum.
The singular resolutions quoted simply
show the truth of what has repeatedly been
asserted-that the church, which ought to be

IT is becoming matter of serious con-
Germ to our courts, whether or not to permit
ink-bottles to be kept in court-rooms
Scarcely day passes that some irate lawyer
offended at the remarks of rival counsel
does not seize a convenient ink-stand and
hurl it at the head of the offending gentle
man. The last instance of the kind took
place at Indianapolis, the other day, and the
judicial garments were besmeared with the
dark liquid. Either ink-stands in courtrooms
must be abolished, or lawyers must be taught
to keep their tempers as we'll as their re.

How are the scratchers and boilers to be
dealt with? asks the Chicago Tribune
That will depend somewhat upon the course
of the Tribune. If it shall decide to boil
the action of the Logan convention at Spring
field the SUNDAY GLOBE would advise only
the mildest kind of punishment, such as the
application of the knout to the editor three
times day, to be followed with twentyfou,
hours in the pilIory, the gentleman after
wards to drawn and quartered and his re-
mains exposed on public highway for a
brief season. Some might prefer more rig
Orous treatment, but respect for the years
and infrmities of the editor of the Tribune
leads the SUNDAY GLOBE to hope that no
more severe punishment be inflicted than
that indicated above.

Tony Den6er's "HumDty Dunspty.o


This favorite organization will, we are
pleased to announce, appear at the Opera house
on Friday and Saturday evenings, May 18th
and 29th. and will give grand family matinee
ON Saturday afternoon, at 2:3U o'clock. The COM
pany is undeniably fine one, and can be as
sured of their usual st. Paul business, a sue
cession of large audiences. A recent edition of
leading daily of Michigan says: Tony Den
ier's panlomine troupe attracted good audi
ence to the Academy last evening. Since the
decease of the lamented Geo. L. Fox, Grimal.
di Adams has held "Humpty Dumpty" honors
without rival. He has many imitators, but
no rivals. For the last two seasons he has been
under engagement to Tony Denier, who has
now beyond doubt, the best pantomime COM
pany on the road. Adams, as Humpty Dunn
PITY, is a whole show himself, and keeps his
audince in great good humor during the time
he is on the stage.
The second act is devoted to an olio perform
ance, the specialists being clever artists in
their line. Ripley and Reed were much ap-
plauded for a good musical act. Dora Mabie
made marked impression in serio-comics and
Jules Friquet displayed good judgment as a
juggler. Miss Mabel Stanton, in airy costume,
succeeded in skipping rope dance, her Hebe
such as sleep o nights Grimaldi did good
drunken act on stilts,and acceded to an encore.
Allie Smith won applause by her lively jigs.
E. G. Dunbar. with his monkey, appeared as
an Italian pifferari. His costume was picsur-
esque and acting good. Geo. W. Hunter made
hit in his Irish songs and sayings. and the
Davenpors brothers won great applause for
their extraordinary feats Of strength and grace
of action. The show is good one throughout,
and deserves the success it is meeting with.
Tony Denier and his company will pass
through the city this morning, en- route for
Minneapolis, where they play Monday and
Tuesday evenings.

" Miss Dickinson is a woman of splendid abili-

American woman has had such shining versa

she has sought to lift life by a lofty purpose.

A villain Gets $50 Days.

sentence of $50 days in the county jail
is something of rare occurrence at Judge
Flint's bailawick, but the heinous nature of
the offense which called for so vigorous an
application of the whip-lash of justice at the
police court yesterday morning, richly mer-
tied the apparently heavy finding. bifur-
Gated brute of the genus homo named John
Dolan, was arraigned on the charge of dis
orderly conduct. There appeared to con-
denim him, two children named Lizzie and
Maggie Phillips, their parents, and mar
ried woman named Mrs. Minna Andrews.
The parties stop at the st. Thomas hotel,
on Rosabel street. Early yesterday morning
the Phillips children were disturbed by the
presence of a man who was in theact of get
ting into their bed. The children sleep in
an apartment next to- the one occupied by
their parents. Upon being aroused from
their slumber they cried out and Mr.. Phil
lips responded by ejecting the man from the
room. Shortly afterward the wretch return
ed and attempted the same performance,
whereupon he was bounced as before, and
why the father did not administer more Wig
orous punishment upon the intruder is not
known.
Giving up his hellish designs in this direc-
ton, he turned his attention to the depart
ment occupied by Mrs. Andrews. He no
doubt would have attempted the same feat
here had his attempt not been anticipated.
He was discovered upon entering the room
and beat hasty retreat.
The above are the facts in a modified
form, as related by the witnesses yesterday
morning. On the first charge he was fined
$50 or ninety days, and on the second
charge $50 or sixty days, in the cooler. He
failed to raise the money and was commit
ted. Dolsn is contractor, and has only
resided in the city few weeks.

The Oyster Interest.

About 1OO, 1000 Bushels of Young BivaIves
 Sent Away.
 Business in seed oysters at this port has tions in a few years past It is estimated by some who have seen long service in oyster raising that 100000 bushels of these young oysters have been sent away from these waters lately for transplanting. About half a dollar per bushel is paid for them, which makes a total of $5o, ,O0O which has come this way from other sources. Our oyster bed own CTS at the mouth of the harbor prepare the beds and cast down upon them large quan- tity of shells, scattering them about. The beds are sanded by way of preparation, as the oyster is not friendly to the mud, and soon dies if left on mud bottom. The spawn comes along, adheres to the shells, and in little while young oysters are to be seen, and the dredges, if used, would bring up plenty of them. They are allowed to live undisturbed if the star fish, drill worm etc., let them alone-for couple of years. They are then big enough for transplanting. The dredges often bring up the enemies of the oysters, which soon meet with sudden end. The young oysters find market at many points east and west on this coast and at various points on the Long Island coast. Large numbers go to Rockaway aud Fire Island. Some dealers estimate that 125,0OO bushels have been shipped from here this season. From Oyster Point about 50, 900 bushels have been shipped alone.

Building Operations.

Brick Making and House and Factory BuiIding-Carpenters and Hotel Build ing.
 A builder of this city of long experience speaking of recent article in the JOURNAL AND COURIER on building operations, in which it was remarked that leading builders pro- this time, says such is indeed the fact, but attributes the quietude to theuncertain prices of brick. Some time ago when brick were scarce and all the brickyards at North Haven were completely empty the price rose to $12. Since then brick making has been in full blast and hundreds of thousands of them are in the works and the price has gone down to $9. The old price before the rise was $7 or thereabouts, and the builder anticipates that the demand for building will start up as soon as the price of brick gets settled.
 Afew more items in the building line are the completion of one of the large new buildings for the wire works of B. S. Wheeler & Co.,, and the commencement of new barn in place of the one destroyed by fire short time ago. The work on the other large new shop for the wire works is in progress
 Brown, Bolton & Go. have been consulting and preparing for the extension of their stores clear through to Center street. The work it is expected, will be started in three or four weeks and be pushed forward rapid ly, when one of the finest stores in New Eng land will be presented to view.
 The'rebuilding of Germania Hall goes for ward rapidly. The roof is on, and it will soon be difficult to discern that there had ever been a fire on the premises. The masons are getting ready to do the clustering, and the management will probably be able to throw open the doors for the rededication, or what ever opening services may be decided upon by the first of the fall weather
 The vessels Mahaska and Julia arrived Saturday night from Two Rivers Nova Scotia, each laden with spruce piles for Sar- gent & Go. Another vessel, the Jane, is on the way similarly laden, and expected to ar rive to-day. The piles are to be driven for the foundations for the large new building which Sargent & Go. are about erecting on their wharf The vessels commence dis charging cargo to-day.
 Some of our builders were consulted with reference to furnishing men for the great ho- tel at Rockaway, where the steamer Traveller went to afford house room or sleeping ac- commodation for the workmen. No work men, however, were secured in this city, all being wanted for service here. The manag- CTS went in quest of men and found from 75 to 100 Con East," some as far East as Maine, who were obtained at $2.25 per day. The men are fed and lodged by contract, and a New Haven man who was there recently says it was a curious and interesting sight to see the men knocking off for their monday meal It reminded him somewhat of life on the old camp ground.
