crowd was present at the session Of the
Methodist general conference thil
morning. Among tho resolutions Of
tered on calling to order Of the confer.
euce, was one offered by Rev. Mr.
Harmund. oo!ored, Of Lexington con.
ference. for the election Of q oolored
bishop. He supported the resolution
in very masterly speech, arguing that
o church which had such o record as
this has on the subject, of human
slavery, and had stood SO hravoly BY
the colored race ia, all movements for
its elevation, could not ask the nation to
do for the colored man that which the
church denied. Loud and long up.
plause followed his address.
DR.. Oneal, Of the committee On
episcopaoy. said the committee already
had the subject under consideration,
and he could promise that it would be
settled without prejudice and solely
upon considerations Of the good of tho
church. 1'oi lq i'oaa Aa-na 20 {.
DR.. Hammond's resolution was then
tabled to take up the special order for
ten o'clock, being the election Of four
bishops. No nominations were made.
Twelve tellers were appointed, and the
secretary called the roll, each delegate
rising to deposit his ballot and called
out his vote. At the conclusion the
tellers retired with Instructions not to
dlvulge the result in any way until it
was made known at the afternoon ses-

"A most distressing affair recent,
occurred in tho suicide of captain Ed
ward, Wright, son Of Judge Jack II
Wright. who was recently convicted
and fiued for his assault on Secretary
Delano, and then graciously pardoned
by the President. Capt. Wright was
one of the finest officers in the Ordin-
ance Corps, and his improvement and
experiments in his line have gained
him great credit. Two years ago he
met at the Arkansas Hot Springs the
beautiful Bessie Paschai. then the di.
vorced wife of Frank Gassaway. A
more fascinating and lovely woman is
seldom seen than she, and after two
weeks acquaintance they were mar
ried. Three months ago they separat

been depressed and gloomy. After a
painful interview with her last week
they parted finally, she winging her
way to Philadelphia and fresh fortunes
and he ending his unhappy life by q
pistol shot from his own hand. The
career Of his wife has been something
remarkable, Seldom outside Of novels
and old memoirs do we know of a
woman exerting snch power over men
by the mere spell Of beauty. Gray
boards and callow youths have wor-
shipped her, and grave politicians and
professional men gone wild. AS a
young lady she was belle and as a
lovely widow she exerted more po-
tent power. Don Cameron at one time
was announced as about to marry her,
and the list of his comrades is q long
one. A groceful and perfect figure,
great, sad pathetic eyes, fine. features
and most lovely smile. first impress
one on seeing her. but the indescri5able
charm, the strange fascination of her
ways, the witchery and magic of her,
are too evanescent and intangible for
prose. Her beauty. her life and her
fortunes, would need the worldly gush
ing pen of "Ouida" to portray some
sides oft; for Others the profound
analysis Of Geo. Eliot could hardly
suffice. AS a figure in the social
World she is destined to reappear, and

Artesian Wells In tho West,
New York Herald,

NcW AOTA heTulu.
In the bill for the reclamation Of
arid and waste lands, passed by the
Senate on the 1lth instant, there is a
clause authorizing the Secretary of the
Interior to- sink two artesian wells on
the plains East of the Rocky Noun
tains. This provision is an admirable
encouragement toward the redemption
of vast areas of national territory from
the desolating sway of the drouth. For
wherever the government finds a good
supply Of water by borings, the geolog-
ical inference is that any number of
wells may be successfully sunk.
A few years ago the French govern
ment bored large number of artesian
wells in the Algerian desert, and the
the result has proved of the greatest
economic Importance. Every we'll, it
is said, becomes the nucleus of set.
tlemeut proportioned to the supply
of water. AS early as 1860. Pro-.
Marsh states, several nomad tribes had
gathered around these artificial water
springs and planted 10000 palm trees.
turning the desert into an oasis.
For some time after the completion
of the Union Pacific Railroad, so great
was the difficulty of obtaing water in
Wyoming. and SO alkaline (rendering
it unfit for steam purposes on the To-
comotives) was it when found, that
the road was compelled to run water
trains from Green River to Rawlins.
At the suggestion Of the government
geologist, Prot. Hayden, number of
artesian wells were sunk at depths
varying from 5000 to 1,145 feet, with
excellent supplies of from $50 to 20JO
gallons of water per hour. This ex-
pertinent was made in one of the. most
arid portions Of the west, and illus
trates, as Prot. Hayden says, the feas.
ibility of rendering available many
millions of acres now lying usless." In
the thirsty soil of the Sahara, where
the French engineers have excavated
over eighty artesian openings, water
has generally risen when they had gone
200 feet below the ground. 1t may
not be so easy to tap the great internal
water reservoir of the Rocky Noun
tains, but it is probable on thereof
ical grounds, that the deeper the bore
the fuller the perpetual stream which
finally issues. as exemplified in the case
of the artesian well at Grenelle, near
Paris. That noble volume OF subter-
raneau water, though not started until
nearly 1900 feet Of soil had been per-
forated and four years spent 10 boring,
has a thousand fold repaid its cost,
discharging considerably more than
half million gallons every
"a hours. The opening of such per-
pstasl fountains IN the trans MissiI-
sippi districts. where The summer rain
ia,l Is deficient. viii not only enhance
toe value Of the national dom ain. but
VIII clear the way FOR The great tide o;
inuig-siion bor rolling toward the

Cheap Hard sonp.

Many house keepers in the country
know how difficult it is to obtain a
good article Of bar soap. The yellow
soap sold at the stores cuts as soft as
cheese, and runs away as easily, and
unless the housewife buys box at a
time, and piles it up in stacks in the
attic or some dry place, the yearly
record will show a goodly sum paid
out for soap purchased blythe bar. The
following receipt will prove a very de-
sirable item of economy
Four large bars Of yellow soap two
pounds Of sal-soda three ounces Of
borax one ounce Of liquid ammonia
Shave the soap in thin slices put it
into eight quarts of soft water Grain
water is best) When the soap is
nearly dissolved add the borax and
salsoda stir till all is melted. Pour
it into a large tub or shallow pan
when nearly cool add the ammonia
slowly, mixing it well. lie. it standIa
day or two, then cut it into cakes and
bars, and dry it in warm place. No
better soap can be made to wash white
clothes, calicoes and flannels; aud il
is excellent for all household purposes
1t costs but three cents per pound
aud is made 10 less than half an hour
This receipt has been sold for five dol.
lars. and will be of service to every
family.

The pupular impression, strengthened by

cannot be cured, has no doubt fastened the
death Of many invalids, by depriving them Of
the consolation of hope. Persons afflicted
with pectoral disease should be supported by
every assurance OF cure, not alarmed By
the gloomy, fOrebodiug countenances of those
around. For our part, we do not believe
that consumption is incurable, and let physi-
