The Methodists.
PROCEEDINGS ON THE OPENING OF THE
WESLEYAN EcUMENIcAL COUNCIL,
NOW HOLDING IN ENGLAND.

LONDON, September There was
large attendance of American delegates at
the opening services of the Wesleyan Ecu
menical Council to-day. The congregation
included many ladies. Bishop Simpson
took his text from John v, 63d. The ser
mon was in the support of the doctrine OF
the divine creation of the heaven and the
earth, which he argued could not be dis
proved by any of the so-ealled teachings OF
science The congregation received the
sacrament.
On reassembling the proceedings were
commenced with prayer, special reference
being made for the recovery OF The President.
A resolution of the business committee
desiring the prayers of the delegates for
President Garfield was received with great
feeling. Dr. Osborn, in his address of
welcome, said that the SUCCESS of the Coun-
Gil was already assured. The Methodist
church, which is Catholic in every sense of
the word, had already gained victory, but
he trusted that much more would be done.
The success of Methodism, he said, could
only be accounted for BIZ the fact that it is
instilled with the divine spirit of life.
Successive assemblages of great protestant
bodies during late years foreshadowed that
there would, at no distant day, be an Ecu
menical Conference of the evangelical
christians of every denomination.
As soon as possible after the Presidents
address, and other opening formaiities, the

lass, who also responded to the address, said
that the United Methodists of Canada
thoroughly concurred in the doctrines of
Wesley. Before the Conference adjourned
i resolution By the business COMMITTEES in
regard to President Garfield was passed.

A Queer Divorce Case.
Springfield Republican.

Judge Wetmore yesterday, in the st.
John On. B. Divorce Court, granted David
Pugh a divorce from Charlotte Emma Pugh,
a vinculo, and declared the marriage void
upon the ground that the defendant was
sister of 4 deceased wife of the plaintiff,
and justifying the plaintiff in instituting
proceedings the wife having left her htls-
bands home some years ago, and having
rejected his entreaties to return. The hus-
band was directed to pay costs. The parties
knowing their inability to lawfully contract
marriage in New Brunswick, met in Houl-
ton, Me-, where such marriages are permitted
by the laws of the State, and were married,
intending to live in New Brunswick. They
lived together as husband and wife for years,
and had several children, but the wife's
Canadian conscience became awakened to
the improperly of the marriage, and under
the pretence of visiting friends in the
United States she went to Rochester, N. T..
and refused to return home, alleging that
she had expected that at the time of her
marriage her husband would sell out his
property in New Brunswick and remove to
the United States. It was claimed for the
defendant that being domiciled in State
where such marriages were allowable, she
| was entitled to hold the contract valid, but
| the court decided against this contention.

Wheat, corn and stocks have all had their
day before the public, and now cotton is ad-
vancing with great strides to join in the
race for wealth. "Cotton is King" the fa-
nous legend that decorates every cotton ex-
change in the country, promises to renew
its lost sovereignty. In accordance with
every other product, cotton has been
seriously affected by the drouth, which
prematurely opened the bolls and invited
the ravages of the elements. The prospects,
which earlier in the season were all that
the planters could desire, have been sadly
blightend by the intense ferceness of the
heat, which has withered up and prostra-

BEAUvoIR, HARRISON Co, MISS,
August 18th, 1881.
Ny DEAR LITTLE FRIENDS:
feel very sensibly, the compliment con-
tanned in your request that | should write
history of the United States, which it would
not pain you to recite. | have long desired
to see a school history which would do jus
tice to our people and their ancestors, and
urged the late Dr..:Bledsoe to underttke the
wOrk-he died without doing so, and L
know of no living man as well able to per-
form the task should much distrust my
own ability, but if my life is spared and |
can get no one of such views as would suit
you to prepare such work, will remem-
Der your requests with sincere desire to
grant it, but | can not promise to do SO.
Many years, and bitter trials leave me
but little time or strength for so important
a labor.
May God bless you, my dear children,
and reward your patriotic impulses with
long life and happiness.
Very truly your friend,
JEFFERSON DAVIS.

The London TcicVraph pays splcn-
did and deserved tribute to the men who
hold the lives of hundreds i'll their hands
the locomotive engineer. 1t says: ::
Most passengers are as Ignorant, hap
pily. Of the pitfall under their feet as one
il of the intricate process OF digestion, or
of the anatomy of the human frame.
They take their journeys as they take
their food, trusting blindly that, some
how or other, it will be all right, and
that the narrow corners will be shaved,
and it seldom occurs to them to express
their thankfulness for the manly dcyo-
ton which contributes to their safety.
While faith is the guiding rule of the tray
eler, duty is the absorbing principle ofthe
railway servant. But does it never occur
to the wakeful traveller as the lamps flash
past him, as the trains rushes over tho
bridges and through network of signals
as the tunnel seems duller roar and the
lighted station suppressed scream,
when the pulse of the motion never stops
and the impetus ut times becomes almost
terrible, what sense of gratitude there
ought to he toward those lonely men, who,
faithful to the end, turn this point and
that, shift the lamps, keep watch and
ward, and clear the way for the swift
express? Those who have trusted them
selves to this splendid power are utterly
powerless. Their lives are in the hands
Of the men who drive the train, and OF
the signal men who watch. Yet there
is no sleep in the signal box or at the
tunnel mouth there is no conversation,
no distraction, nothing but dull mo-
notony Of duty. A score of things may
have happened; the staff may be short
handed, some one is unexpectedly on the
sick list, some good-natured fellow may
have done double duty out of pure com
radeship; but this makes no difference
in the safety of the line. There need be
no cause of fear when such men know
their duty and do it.
