Ia Florence, we resided at large

had formerly been Nine. de Stael's
In the Via Scala. Tnore we're some
thirty koarders In this house, aud
hero we remained two years, occupied
with our studies. DuriRg q par. Of
this time the poet Shelley, his wife
and infant. were inmates Of the same
house, ard we soon made their ac-
qualntauce. They were very kind
to us, and Shelley proposed to mann
ma that II he would accompany them
to Pisa, where Lord Byron was resi-
dent, he would himself undertake
Williams education, but mamma de-
clined, saying she was foarfHl her
husband would be displeased If she
allowed an intimacy between her
family and Lord Byron's. Indeed,
she was half afraid he would not APP

and bis wife During my leisure
hours was always in tho Sholleys
apartments. The poet would placs
his infant in my lap and bid me
amuse myself with live doll, while
he continued his writing. Both Shell
ley and his wife were delightful, and
when they left, some msnths after,
we were very sorry. One day Shell

through the keyhcle. We were 8
fascinated, alternately watching TIA

Annual Conference Of General
Secretaries of ". NJ. e. AS.

The twelfth annual conference of the
Association of General Secretaries of
the Young Mems Christian Associations
of the United States and the DOmin-
ion of Canada. assembled in New Ha-
ven, Conn, June 9TH, and for four days
held sessions in one of the opera
houses in that city. The conference
was very largely attended, over two
hundred General Secretaries and dele
gates being present, some from as far
away as San Francisco, Winnipeg and
Portland, Oregon. The General Secre-
tary of the Glasgow, Scotland, Associ
alton was also present and gave two or
or three very interesting talks con-
corning the work across the water.
Each session was devoted to the pre-
sentatiOn of paper on given topic,
by some prominent worker, and then
half hours discussion of the same.
Among the topics presented were the
following: "AssOciatiOn services mere
" for public effect" by w. Z. Lewis,
State Sec'y of Wisconsin "Secretarial-
ism snare in Association work" by
X. X. McBurney, New York City Asso-
citation; "The Secretary's relation to
the finances of the state work." by 5.
NJ. Sayford, Sec'y of Massachusetts, and
many other topics of great interest.
From three to five sessions were held
each day. The following prominent
Association workers were present
Messrs. Morse, Cree, Weidensall,
Brown, Ingersoll, Watkins, Wis
hard, Brainerd and Uhl, Secretaries OF
the International committee; State
Secretaries Munhall, of Indiana; Lewis
of Wisconsin Hall, of New York Say
ford of Mass. Folger of n. H.; Will
liams of Ohio; Bowen of Maine, and
others.
i When the Secretaries Association
was organized twelve years ago there
We're only about twelve secretaries EN-
plOyed in the Association work, while
to-day there are 257 the number hav-
ing doubled in the last two or three
years. Then there were no secretaries
in the southern states and but two oil
three in the west now they are To-
Gated i'll nearly every southern and
western city. The increase in the
number of secretaries has only kept

at Cincinnati, Milwaukee and other
points resume. A strike, in other
words, must not be too successful to
succeed. The receipts of the associa-
ton are estimated at S35, 200 week
AS the strikers have now been out two
weeks, they are entitled to draw bene-
fit from the common fund and will re-
ceive 81 week each, so long as the
money lasts. The manufacturers claim
that the advance in wages now de-
manded will run the price of bar iron
up to $50 per ton. They are quite dis
posed themselves to strike against the
exorbitant prices of the ore, which
comes from Michigan. They say the
ore companies have been paying from
IS to 100 per cent of profit since 1879.
The great Pittsburg strike of 1875,
which was against the reduction of
wages, succeeded, after being out four
months. The Cleveland mills have
gone to work with 400 or 500 men, of
whom some have never joined and 9th
ers have left the amalgamated associa-

pace with the growth of Association
work in other directions. In 1866 when
the international committee was Orga-
nized, there were no buildings owned
by the Association now there are Go,
worth S2,700,0 200, and with one or two
exceptions they are free from debt. Du-
ring the past year, new buildings have
been erected at Rome, n. Y, costing
SI5, 900; Elmira, n. Y, Or. r. $1,000 /;
WATERFOWL, n. Y, 100000; and there
will be added before the year closes
five buildings at Boston costing $780,
900; Buffalo, $4,000; Pittsburgh,
S75, 700; Washington, S32, 900; New
burg, n. Y, 100000; and Troy, n. Y,
Or. r. $1,000.
1t was ten years after the Interna-
tional committee was organized that
work among railroad men as a class,
was taken up already forty-six Rail
read Association. Secretaries are en-
ployed, and the leading railroad cor
porations contribute S50,O00 per year
to sustain the work among their en-
plOyes. In 1873, work among colleges
as a distinctive phase of the AssOcia-
ton work, was taken up. There were
but few College Associations at that
time now they number Us, and i'll
every prominent college in the cOun-
try, except three, they are at work
The International committee have re-
Gently taken up work for commercial
travellers, class that number 100000
and nearly all young men. Among
German young men, of whom there are
over 100000, four secretaries are al
work, and the International committee
are doing a valuable work among the
5000 cOlored young men of the
south.
In 1866, the International committee
received and expended some $500, now
they employ nine secretaries and three
assistants, and expend S26, 900 per an
mum. Then there was no state or pro
vincial Association secretaries, now
there are eleven, having charge of the
work in as many states and provinces
The above facts and all others pre-
scented at the conference will certainly
serve to stimulate the local Associa-
tions in their efforts to reach young
men, to promote Bible study and per
sonal work and to quicken the spirit
ual life of the secretaries. c. II. S.

The Administration i'm Politics

1t is unfortunate for the country, for
the republican party and for the presi-
dent when the people are compelled to
regard the White House as the head
quarters of a faction of one party. But
this exactly expresses the conviction
which the president has forced upon
the country. Chester \. Arthur seems
settling down to the service of Stall
wartism first and his party second in
the matter of appointments. These
come quietly by ones and twOS and are
nearly all confirmed without oppOsi-
ton, but the list rs it grows is rather
discouraging. Thus there have been
since the present session of Congress
began 90 nominations to offices within
the state of New York, and among
those of any Importance i'll the num-
Der all but three were distinctively
stalwart in character.
This administration is intensely
''practical', and Bill Chandler, com
mander of the department of the South,
is administering patronage and advice
where it will do the most good. The
attempt to manipulate and manutac-
ture political sentiment on IA large
scale will be watched with much in
terest, though it is idle to believe that
the people are deceived by the adroit
operations of Arthur, Chandler & Co.
In answer to criticisms upon the use OF
patronage the New York Commercial
Advertiser prints IA list of the lis
treasury nominations made by Arthur
and calls attention i'll very black type
to the fact that in only 10 cases were
there removals. That fact is not an
answer. Nobody charges that the
president creates vacancies by the
wholesale for partisan purposes and
10 is not large number of removals,
but it is charged that in making APP
pointments he constantly favOrs the
old stalwart crowd, and that nobody
can deny. Moreover it is reported that
there is to be general turnout i'll Penn
sylvania to help Cameron's campaign.
Postmaster Huidekoper of Philadel-
phia is to give place to an unquestiOn-
ed stalwart so that the 700 appoint
ments of the Office can be manipulated
for the boss, and everywhere federal
officials i'll the state are to he removed,
promoted and shifted with Il single
mind to the immediate political inter
ests of j. ID. Cameron. 1t is true that
this is not yet done, but the report
comes upon pretty good authority, and
the worst of it is that nobody can say
that Arthu's past course has made il
Improbable Spr. Repub., June II.

meet, as it has found ont heretofore.
Again, it will be in the busiest season
of the year, and the convention will
not be troubled with many except those
who are engaged beforehand and paid
to come.
The bosses have not fully determined
on candidates yet, but are feeling
around. They have about concluded
to run Bates and Sulloway again for
States Attorney and Sheriff, and are
talking of Thomas B. Hall of Groton-
son of ex-judge Hall-for one of the
Judges. As fast as we learn of other
candidates we will announce their
names.
p. Slater advices report the ring
as settling down upon A. Z. Judevine
for one County Senator, but as divided
on Judge of Probate between Charles
Rogers of Wheelock and Walter P
Smith of this place.

County Politics.

The season is unusually backward in
politics as we'll as in vegetation but
the reader must not conclude for that
reason that there will be no crop. There
are several things that have conspired
to send a chill over the political lead
ers, chief among them being the fact
that one of them was badly cleft" two
years ago in the race for senatOrship.
This had IA tendency to create a cool
ness in the hitherto "happy family"
but majority of the ring are still a
unit, and have already had one or two
meetings to name candidates and ar
range the campaign. Some things are
settled, and others only yet talked of.
1t is decided not To hold the county
convention until late. There are sew
eral obvious advantages in this-to the
ring. If the convention is put off until
just before election, there will not be
so much time to get up a bOlt-a very
annoying thing for the machine 10
