General Conference, yesterday, on the reso-
luton to nominate a committee to review
the administration OF the affairs of the
Book Concern, indicates purpose to In.
trust the business of the great book and
publishing houses of the denomination to
the hands of men of practical business ex-
perience, to be selected from the laity. 1t
has been usual in past General Confer
ences to select for this work ministers
Of widely-known ability in the pulpit;
many-sided men necessarily, and il un-
trammeled by business affairs, would
WELD direct and powerful influence in
the conversion of men from the errors Of
their ways. Substituting laymen in their
places will release them for labor in much
more important field. while the business Of
the Church as publishing agency will not
suffer, and may be greatly increased. 1t
is likely, therefore, that the laity will be
much more largely represented in the
great publishing houses of New York and
Cincinnati, and in the numerous branch
houses. than it has been in the past.-There

THERE exists, we bell eve, city ordi-
nance making it obligatory upon vehi-
cles hauling heavy loads through the
streets to do so with wheels having a
width of tire corresponding to the loads
they draw. How we'll this ordinance is
enforced it might be well to inquire, as
the extraordinary amount of repair re
quired in our city pavements is most
serious municipal burden. We saw day
or two since asafe weighing, twas stated,
sixteen tons borne on truck having
wheels with no more than six inches in
width Of tire. In any but the most solid
pavement this load on these tires was
capable of doing damage that it would
take hundreds Of dollars to repair. As
it was it came to grief at place where
the street had been lately stirred for
sewer purposes and was not only
detained but interrupted travel
and the cars for some hours
by reason of one of the wheels cutting
through and sinking to the hub in the
loose earth beneath. In the French
Capital the law is imperative that the
tire shall correspond to the width of load,
and in this case not less than twelve
inches would have been permitted
When we protect our street pavements
as carefully as is done in some foreign
cities we shall not perhaps be quite SC

PARTISAN sPEcTAcLEs.

Your partisan newspaper is an ex-
tremely entertaining vehicle Of informa-
ton just at this juncture. The country,
says one, is rapidly drifting upon the
rocks and shadows that will inevitably
dash it in pieces, unless Grant, the strong
man, the man of iron, the distinguished
General, shall grasp resolutely the helm
and save it from the impending destruc-
ton. The Republic is lost, says another,
if the unwritten law, forbidding more

than two terms to any one man, is
violated by the third elevation of
General Grant to the Presidency in the
ensuing election. All is lost to the great
and glorious Republican party, and con-
stitutional liberty will be handed over to
inevitable destruction at the hands of the
Southern Brigadiers, if Blaine, the
Plumed Knight of Maine, is not 'nomi-
mated at Chicago as the Republican stand
ard bearer in the coming struggle. If
Blaine is nominated there will be dis
astrous bolt of the nomination by Re-
publicans, arevival of the Credit Mobi-
lier scandals of few years ago. Demo-
cratic success and chaos for the Re
public, says yet another veracious mirror
OF public opinion. Nominate Sherman,
the man who has waved the enchanted
wand of finance, says yet another or
gan, the greatest statesman of the period,
the man who has restored the currency
of the Nation to a sound and solid basis
and placed the PROSTATE industry Of the
country upon its feet, and the future OF
the Republic is secured. To Sherman
and his ruinous construction policy and
his unwise and premature resumption OF
specie payment, says another, is due the
seven long years of financial hurri-
canes and disaster that overwhelmed
with ruin nine .tenths of the business
men of the country. Give US candidate
who is pledged to supplying us with a
currency equal to the demands Of trade,
or we shall fall inevitably upon the break
ers and be lost forevermore. Give us
Tilden, the wisest and best and the most
immaculate of statesmen, the type OF
reform and purity of administration,
the man who was elected in '76 and
cheated out of the usufruct of his elec-
tion by political thimblerigging and
bribery and corruption. Give us
Tilden, or the Democratic party,
says our oracle, is stranded, political liber'
ty is destroyed and the Constitution 8
byword and reproach forevermore on
this continent. If Tilden is nominated
says an equally positive party light, the
Democratic party will be inevitably rent
in twain and defeated, since the man who
sought by bribery to influence electora
votes in Oregon first and afterwards ir
South Carolina and Florida, as shown by
the cipher dispatch exposures, never car
and never shall receive the suffrages o1
the Democratic party. The Democratic
party is certain to elect the next Presi
dent, says a veracous and enthusiastic
newspaper of that political faith, since il
has the Solid South to begin with, and is
morally certain of several Northern
States.
The Republicans will certainly elec
their President this fall, says one Of tht
reliable Republican prophets, since th'
North is morally certain to present
solid front to the enemy.

A Thousand Miles from Land.
New York World

During the recent passage Of the
White Star steamer Germanic, from
Europe, and when about 1000 miles
from Queenstown, a strange bird was
discovered in the rigging. The sailors
and passengers endeavored to catch it,
but without success, until DR.. G. w.
Gof, of this city, one of the passengers,
came on deck when the bird at once
flew into his hands. The Doctor cared
for it, ond upon the arrival of the
steamer, presented the bird to the col
lection at Central Park. The bird is
known as the whimbrel, peculiar land
bird resembling the curlew in habits,
and about the size of prairie hen.
black and gray plumage, wings like a
bat, with a long, whalebone-like bill in
shape similar to that of q woodcock.
Great interest was attached to the bird
by the officers of the ship from the fact
Of its being a land bird found SO far at
sea, with wings but poorly calculated to
sustain it for any length of time. The
owl, "Kate Field" captured under SINH
lar circumstances in midocean by one
of the crew of the White Star steame er

; j. "A. Bird Execution Z

- ?
About one hundred persons witnessed
a curious spectacle at Lansingburg, N.
Y, recently. 1t was nothing more or
less than a bird execution. An English
sparrow had by some means incurred
the displcasnre of a pair Of red-b breasted
robins rested in d tree near Rawson
Hall. A fight took place between the
sparrow and the robins on the rear roof
of the Rawson Hall building. The
sparrow fought pluckily until all at once
one of the robins flew off, while the 9TH
CT kept up the fighting. The robin mes
senger soon returned with {. piece Of
cord that was soon wound around the
sparrow's neck and ihe end held in the
bill of one Of the 4 4Fecutioners. This
done the sparrow was forced over the
edge of the roof and briskly attacked by
the other robin. Thus :situated the
sparrow was comparatively helpless,
and in short time hung suspended by
the neck, dead After holding their
victim and pecking him until assured
that he was beyond resurrection, the
victorious robins flew to their nest in the
tree singing merrily, as though glory
ing over their vanquishcd foe.

A Girl. With the Jim.Jams.
St. Louis Globe Democrat.


A remarkable case of -.jim-jams came
under the observation of Officer Heffer-
man about midnight last night, in a
small room in the rear of No. 215 AL
mond street. The victim was Clara
Walker. She said that three days ago
she had celebrated her 18th birthday by
unintentionally getting very drunk.
The effect produced by the overdose of
spirits was so charming that she con-
tinued the drunk up to last night.
When discovered by the policeman she
was in the act Of adjusting the end of
piece of clothes-line around her neck,
preparatory to choking out her life.
HeHerman prevented her from carrying
out her self-destructive design, for which
kind act she was at first greatly enrag-
ed, but after becoming calm she thank

volunteering some good advice the

A Famous Tree,

A cottonwood tree believed to be over
$50 years old, was recently cut down in
front of one of the hotels in Denver,
Col. Under this tree was held the trial
Of Moses Young, who committed the
first murder in Denver. The jury con-
victed him, and he was, taken to the
cabin of the sheriff At daybreak a
posse of men took Young from the
cabin and hanged him to a branch of
the cottonwood tree. The lynching was
witnessed by large number of Indians,
who had climbed to the branches of
neighboring trees. In the same year
Jim Gordon was tried for murder under
the huge cottonwood, and was hanged
to the same branch from which Young
was suspended. 1t is believed that
there were other trials and hangings in
its shade. The tree was in the early
days of Denver the largest Of cluster

seemed to pacify the woman, and
