~ OF the three men who are really and con-
fessedly candidates for President, on the Repub-
licau side, Blaine is the only man who has not
run about the country boosting along his own
boom. Grant has come down to a regular
bumming electoueering tour. Sherman went
TO Ohio, to avert defeat in his own State, and
he is frequently off to New York and other plac-
es, making political speeches. As soon as Blaine
defeated the Democratic attempt to steal the
State of Maine, he went to his post at Washing
ton, and has been there ever since, fighting the
Brigadiers, while rival candidates are working
for the delegates to Chicago. Blaine did not
even attend the Convention of his own State.
The people have charge of his boom.

METHODIST GENERAL CoNFERENcE.--The
General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church is now in session at Cincinnati. This is
the first meeting of the Conference at Cinciu-
cnnasi since 1836-forty four years ago. There
are but eleven persons now living who were
members of that Conference; and the vener
able Bishop Scott is the only member of this one
that was a member Of the one in 1896. The i'm
mense growth in membership of this church,
and its spread throughout the world, is not the
most wond erfnl part Of its progress in those
forty-four years. At the Conference Of 1886, a
resolution was passed, with only IA dissenting
votes, censuring Methodist minister in New
Hampshire for preaching modern Abolitionism.
Another resolution was adopt ed, by almost the
same vote, disclaimIHg any sympathy with Alb
olitionism and another was passed by unan-
imous vote, dec claring that the church dscoun-
tenanced any interference with the Slavery
question. But eight years afterwards, in 1874,
the church split in two, on this very question Of
Slavery. The church advocates of slavery, like
the political advocates, by their arbi trary and
tyranuical conduct, aggravated and intensified
the agitation of the question to such degree
that the destruction of the barbarous institution
ensued. twenty years aiter tue passage VI
these resolutions, the Northern wing of the
Methodist church had become the great adverse
ry of Slavery, and the bulwark of Freedom. The
Methodist church has been the auxiliary of the
Republican party; and during the Rebellion, it
was the right hand of the Union cause. 1t has
been the advance-guard of progress; and on
the very outskirts of civilization, wherever you
RAY go, you will find that some poorly paid and
lfstaryed itinerant Methodist preacher has
erected q rude altar, and commenced forming
class.
levers, the benighted, or the ungodly, let us
give this great church full credit for its part in
the grand progress of the nineteenth century.

The facts and figures

BORN OF A FIVE YEARS ADMINISTRATION
of a Law are incontrovertible The ideas and theo
ries Of those who believe that law cOh accomplish
something if il in existence are problematical
Different people will have different reasons for these
results but it does seem to me that such facts and
figures ought to have weight with thinking, sensible
people. see by the Intey-Ooean that the smaller
towns of our State going through the usual ex-
citement Of the spring elections, which usually in
such places as Rockford Belydere, and dozen 9th
er thriving cities that could be named, engenders
enough bad blood and unpleasant feeling TO keep n
certain class of the best citizens Mt oggerheads for the
remainder of the twelve months. Mr.. p. may be a

with the license people. Mr.. p. is beaten and stg
matized by the rosy lips Of the generous temperance
ladies "a whiskey man.. and ever after is spoken
of in contempt; yet for all that he may be worthy
citizen and n sober man.
But the same ungeuerous treatment comes from
the other side and ofentmes the honest believer in
prohibition is shamefully abused and grossly misun-
derstood. Ii is a pity the practical people Of the
community, who take man he is, would not in
terest themselves little in this matter and make a
thorough investigation. The Rhode Island Commis-
sioners publicly request all who oppose the license
system to come to Providence and make q thorough

tion write TO the Hon. VIM. ii. Bowen, Providence,

Walkfng-Sticks.

Walking-sticks for ladies, says the
London Globe, so we are told by an Or
acle of fashion, ore coming into favor
again. Thus does the whir1igig of time
bring round his revenge for a discarded
custom. The Empress Eugene made
the carrying of canes fashionable for
her sex during the gay days Of the Sec
ond empire. But back in another cent
ury we find the women as appreciative
Of the walking-stick as ever was
Sir Plume, Of amber snun box Justly vain,
And the nice conduct Of clouded cane.
Ladies advanced in life walked with
staff between five and six feet in height,
taper and slender in substance, turned
over in the upper end in the manner Of
a shepherds crook, and "twisted
throughout the whole extent" Some
times these wands were formed Of pale
green glass, but oftener of wood, ivory,
or whalebone. A writer Of 1852, speak.
ing of the most fashionable sticks Of this
period, says: "Do not some Of us start
about with walking-sticks as long as
hickory poles, or else with yard of
vanished cane scaped taper, and bound
at one end with a waxed thread, and the
other tipped with neat ivory head as
big as silver penny?" It is. indeed,
as an appearance of fashion more than
as an appendage of personal utility that
we regard the walking sticks of modern
times, though in all ages man has made
the sons of the forest contribute to his
support under WEAKNESS and old age.

stamping BY fhe.

NeW x0IK COmm01CIaA AQVeISOeEs
The Postoffice authorities Of this
city think they have arrived at q prac-
tical and thorough solution of tho
question Of prevention of second use
Of postage stamps, which is fraud
that has been practiccd by washing off
the ink with acids after the stamping
of a first use. Persons engaged in this
cheating of the Government have been
very ingenious in dcvising modes of
doing the unlawful washing. A new
process of cancellation has been invent
cd, and brought into use in the Post
Office here. It is to scorcl the stamps.
Specimens of the new process shown
by yAssistant-Po Postmaster Picgson shows
very effective work against the fraud
Of second use Of the stamps, the can-
collation. mark being absolutely indel-
ible. The imprint made is just tho
same as that made by the ink-stamp,
except that it is slightly burned or
scorched instead Of being an ink im-
preston. The new stamp is heated by
gas, the new metal being thin, to al:
low Of both quick heating and rapid
cooling. 1t is used the same as an ink
stamp but with saving Of time that
will enable the person nsing it to do
twice the work that an ink-stamp
would. 1t can be used in all offices
where gas is burned. An experienced
hand with an ink-stamp cancels about
125 stamps per minute.

The successful expedition of Pro-

the shores of the Arctic sea arc not so
inhospitable as has been generally

fact is due, not to the employment Of

ance, and arc said to be a favorite fruit
with some of the natives Of the great
Ice world. Its flavor resembles chat
Of raspberry, but is more acid. The
mode Of preparation adopted on tho
voyage Of the Vega was to dry the
berries and then preserve them in the
milk of the reindeer, which was then
allowed to freeze. In this state the
fruit can be preserved for an indefinite
period.

Questions for q Wife.

Do you recollect what your feel.
ings were Immediately after you had
spoken the first unkind word to your
husband? Did you not feel ashamed
and grieved, and yet too proud to ad-
init it2 Thatwas, is, and ever will be
your evil geniusl It is the temper
which labors incessantly to destroy
your peace, which cheats you with an
evil delusion that your husband de-
served your anger, when he really most
required your love. 1t is the cancer
which feeds on those unspeakable
emotions you felt on the first pressure
Of his hand and lip. Never forget the
manner in which the duties Of that
calling can alone be fulfilled. If your
husband is hasty, your example Of
patience will chide as we'll as teach
him. Your violence may ALLEVIATE his
heart, and your neglect impel him to
desperation. Your soothing will re-
deem him-your softness subdue him;
and the good -natured twinkle of those
eyes now filling beautifully with
priceless tears, will make him all
YOur own.
