The new organization which had its
origin in this city, and has. purchased
grounds near Deer Park which are now
undergoing Improvement for the pur-
poses Of national Summer camp
ground, has put in bid for the enter
taiRment Of the American Ecumenical
Council, which viii meet at some point
in the United States in the year 1884.
There are several candidates for this
honor, but We see no reason why the
Mountain Lake Park Association may
not secure 1t. Methodism was organ
lied into church in the year 1854 in
the city Of Baltimore, and that is the
event to be especially commemorated
by this proposed conferences. Hence
that city is suggested as the proper
place historically considered, in which
to hold the centennial exercises.
But there are many influential men
in the movement who think that this
great gathering should be held at some
of the popular camp-meetmg resorts
during the summer, and Chatauqua,
Ocean Grove, Lake View, as well as
our Mountain Lake Park, have been
suggested.
This Conference will be great occa-
SION although not containing delegates
from so many parts Of the world as that
recently assembled in London. 1t is
more distinctly American.
1t originated in call signed by eighty
four delegates to the Eeumenical Con-
ference in London, recommending the
holding of a Commemorative Centen-
NAL Conference in 1884, and to be COM
posed of clerical and lay representatives
from all Methodist bodies in America.
The churches represented in this call are
the Methodist Episcopal and the Meth0-
dist Episcopal Church South, the Meth
Odist Protestant, the African, the Afri-
can Zion and the colored Methodist
Episcopal churches, the Independent,
Congregational and Primitive MethO-
dist churches, and the signers include
several bishops, editors, doctors of divin-
ity ana eminent laymen.
The first form of MethOdism in this
country was Episcopal and it continues
very largely so to this day. Of the sign
ers to the call nearly nine-tenths are
Episcopal. The Evangelical Association
tAlbright's) and the United Brethren in
Christ, who, though not MethOdiStic in
name are so in their organism and adj
ministratiOn, have not signed this call,
but they will probably be represented in
the Conference, if it shall be held. AS
free council to discuss and illustrate the
living iSsues in which Methodists are
deeply concerned such gathering may
bemade highly useful, for only in such
like nOn-ecelesiastical ways can such
discussions be had. As preliminary to
this Conference it is also proposed to
hold one or more Methodist Free Con-
gresses next year after the manner of
British and American Episcopalians,
where subjects may be discussed in
which the different branches of Method
ism disagree, 50 that the world and
themselves may see how little they diff
fer and how much they agree in.

The diffesence between the introduce
ton and passage ola bill through Con-
grcSs is great. Nearly 5000 were intro
duced last session, and less than 100
passed and became laws. The happi-
hess and prosperity of the people do not
depend upon the number of laws en-
acted. The constant changing of laws,
in both State and Nation, is an evil de-
manding a remedy.

as United States Minister to Ecuador,
holds to the opinion that Peru would be
more prosperous under CHILEAN rule than

They don't have the Yankee idea Of

LEGISLATION No Good.

Intemperance is terrible curse, but the
national government is as powerless against
it, through the law, las against tobacco chew
ing, cigarette sucking or any other unclean
personal habit. The States are competent
to punish or restrain incorporate men
against whom any misdeeds can be proved,
and to regulate the sale of liquors; but
even this cannot be done unless the tenn.
perance people have enough of courage and
real interest in their work to be informers,
and this the ineffectiveness of the Maine
law showed they will not do.

Medicinal Qualities Of. Buttermilk.

MeO1c10al QUALITIES VI DuItcI AlAlA' -
For a summer beverage there can be
nothing more healthy and strengthen
ing than buttermilk. 1t is excellent
for weak and delicate stomachs, and
far better as dinner drink than cof-
fee, tea or water rather aids digestion.
A celebrated physician once said
that if every one knew the value of
buttermilk as drink, it would be
more freely partaken of by person who
drink so excessively of other beverages
and further compared its effects upon
the system to the cleaning out of a
cook stove that has been clogged up
with ashes that have sifted through,
filling up every crevice and crack, say
ing that the human system is like the
stove, and collects and gathers refuse
matter that can in no way be exter-
minated from the system so effectually
as by drinking buttermilk. 1t is also
a specific remedy for indigestion,
soothes and quiets the nerves, and is
very somnolent to those who are
troubled with sleeplessness.
There's something strangein the fact
that person who are fond of butter
milk never tire Of singing its praises
Ia tboeo x,ho fonp1 nf ~
never weary of wondering how some
people can drink it. So far as is pos
sible, people should overcome their
aversion to it, and learn to drink it
for health's sake. One gentleman of
our acquaintance is so extremely fond
of it that we knew him one time to
drink about three glasses, then set his
glass down with a thud, exclaiming
earnestly, as he smacked his lips:
'"That's food and raiment both"
While another buttermilk enthusiast
made the statement once that where
the liver has become lifeless from
torpidity and inaction, and is too dead
to perform its functions, buttermilk
will cause new one to grow in.
Whatever exaggerated statements may
have been made concerning buttermilk
its medical properties cannot be over
rated, and it should be more freely
used by all who can getit. Every one
who values good health should drink
buttermilk every day in warm weather,
and let tea, coffee and water alone.
For the benefit of those who are not |
already aware of it, | may add, that
in the churning the first process of
digestion is gone through, making it
one of the easiest and quickest of all
things to digest.
1t makes gastric Juice and contains
properties that readily assimilate with
it, with little or no war upon the
digestive organs.

Tobacco.

The plenty of plants in the seed
beds and the early good season of June
have, We hope, enabled our planters
to have most to their tobacco crops
set out. Our advice is, plant no more
than you can take prime care of, cul-
tivate we'll, keep free from worms and
suckers, and have house-room for, and
plant only on highly fertilized or
MANFRED, fertile and well prepared
land. 1t is nonsence to plant tobacco,
these days, on poor, badly cultivated
ground, and have not the means to
keep off the worms and no, or next to
no house to cure it properly. 1t won't
pay to grow tail-end tobacco. 1t is a
bonanza crop if grown and cured pro-
perly. Poor tobacco is drug-a hole
in the purse of any planter-good to.
bacco is luxury-a fortune to its
grower.

Millet and Broadcast Corn

1t is good time to sow millet and
also broadcast or drilled corn, for
feeding green or for curing into pro-
vender or for ensilaging. The latter
we prefer rather than curing as fodder.
Every man should sow few acres in
millet, or in corn, or both, for supple
menting the declining pastures in
August and September, or for feed in
winter for the stock, that a goodly
quantity may be kept over winter, so
as to swell the manure pile. Keep a
plentiful supply of we'll fed cattle, if
you want to improve your farm rapid
ly and with the best and most endur-
ing manure.
