The action of the recent Methodist General Con-
ference In regard to tobacco was absurd that We
do not onder at the fun which is being made Of it.
Whatever the brethren may have thought In the

action. What they did was to decree that the use
of tobacco shall be forbidden hereafter to oandi.

TuE TRANSIT OF VENUS.

At the last meeting of the Royal AstrOnom-
cal SOricty. Si George Airy nad paper on TN 70
nrruaratiOns 10 hc made for ObSrrvinI tn next
transit of Venus. winch occurs December T.,
1850. The chief phas - to be- observed ARE the
inrress and eGrcsS of the planet on the sun
disk. and each OF these phases II watched from
two points, one where 1t Is accelerated, the
other where it is retarded. For ngrcSs acccc-
rated. tLc Astronomer Royal recommends STA
tiOns in Care Colony, South Africa from tho
Capc Observatory to Durham, with an elevation
of The sun ranging from 33' to 49, For In

pcscd to depend upon stations on the coast of
the United States and Canada; but MS the rc-
walton of the sun will bc only from -, to IL !,
he now prefers the vhO,c cham OF the West
India Islands, with an elevation Ot from 20 TO
13o. The l0ngitudcs of these stations have
bron determined with great accuracy by Amerl-
can observers. Bermuda, with an elevation OF
25o, would also be very fnvOrabIy situated Tor

also suitable for thc cgrcsS nc clcratcd phase
For egress retarded, although Mrlhnurnc,, with
elevation 10o, sydney elevation IA and New
Caledonia, elevation 22o; are suitable, the
Astronomer Royal would depend chiefly on
New-Zcaland, where the elevation OF The sun
will range from 30o to $50. Sir George Airy
also urged that the history of previous Observa-
tIOns. and especially that OF the transit OF 176l,
should be carefully studied by intending OBJ

MEAT BREAD.

NJ. Scheurer- KcStner, says Tie English Ne

the fc mcniatIOn Of bread causes the complete
digestion of meat. lle found that bceistcak,
cn into small pieces and mixed with Hour and
ycasi. disappcared entirely during the process
of bread making, it's nurltive principles being
Incorporated with the bread. The mrat would
also appear capable of preservation for an lndcil

bread made in 1873 were submitted To the
French Academy Of Science, when not trace
of wOIms or mOudinesS was observable.
At the beginning Of his experiments. Nj.
Srheurer- Kestner used law meat, three Taris
of which, finely mixed, he mixed with five parts
of flour and the same quantity OF yeast. Sufli-
cIent water was added to make tho dough-
which in due time began to fermcnt After
two or three hours, the meat disappeared, and
tbe bread was baked IN the ordinary manner.
Thus prepared, the meat-bread had Disagree
able sOuI taste, which was avoided by cooking
the meat for IN hour with sufficient water to
mOistcn the flour afterwards The meat must
bp carefully deprived Of fat, and only have
sufficient salt to bring out the flavor, as salt by
absorbing moisture from the air would tend TO
spoil the bread. a part of the beef may be re-
placed with advantage by salt, laId which Is
found to improve the flavor. Tho proportion
of meat TO flour should not exceed one hall, go
as to insure complete digestion. Bread made
with suitable proportion OF veal is said to fur

BAD HABITS DIscARDED.-rh There are few vii;
lages IN the land where 80 little tobacco is used
as in Oberlin, Ohio. 1t is doubted If twelve
habitual smokers can be found among the
twelve hundred members of the two leading
churches, but public sentiment was recently
called to the increase there Of the sale of
tobacco, and a meeting to take counsel in the

70 talk and loves to be the central
figure of a national contest. Chair
man Rarnum is seldom before the
nublic: he saw little for the world,
but he works increasingly, visits every
important point personally, judges OF
the situation for himself, and employs
his resources in the most business
like manner He was in Indiana soon
after Jewell was there, but everybody
read of Jewell every day, while Bar
minis presence in the state was un-
heralded. He saw VIM. Ii. English,
said what he had to say, and returned
to New York.
Many have interpreted his silence
and absence of display in the contest
thus far as evidence of ~ineficiency
and want of a bold and aggressive
policy. Undoubtedly the republicans
have come to regard it as indicating a
want Of confidence ins Indiana, and a
want of resources to meet party neces-
stiles. Mr.. Barnum has done ten
times the amount of work for Han
cock that Mr.. Jewell has done for
Garfield, and he has done it wisely
and thoroughly. He never took any
stock in the Maine contest; has not
been in the state, and has not wasted
any money on that dead horse. The
fusionists of Maine raised $4,000
themselves, and they have paid their
own expenses. The national commit
tee have furnished speakers for Maine,
but nothing else, and any republican
majority from 5000 to 10000 will be

are courteous and digni6ed. Fairness
and good humor has thus far charac-
terized the canvass. How it will end
| do not know. 1t is a lively canvass;
it is a great canvass. Old men who
have not listened to a political discus
sion since the war are turning out
everywhere to hear Judge Wright
and Mr.. Wilson. The greatest inter-
est is manifested everywhere. Even
the ladies are excited. A young lady
in Paris was heard to express a wish
that Judge Wright might be success
full. A young lady in Mckenzie said
to Mr.. Wilson that she hoped he
would be governor. Republicans in
Paris yelled for Wilson, and repub-
licans in Paris shouted for Wright.
The high-tax democracy is solid for
Wright, and the low-tax democracy is
solid for Wilson. WkS~a is it all to
end2 What will be the result? 1t is
beyond the power of man to c%onjec-
ture. Taking the statements of lead
ing high and low-tax men, and put
ting them toge ther, | am able to form
a tolerable estimate of each mans
strength in a county, but thus far the
figures are too evenly balanced to
fOreshadow the result. Referring to
