A. Device Against Bores.

An invention for protection from
bores has been devised by q gentleman
OF Literary habits in this city, which
may safely be recommended to those
who are afflicted by the attentions OF
these well known pests OF society. He
has his study in the top of one of our
public buildings, and nearly every day
prominent representative Of the
genus bore climbs up the stairs and
knocks at his door, and after entering,
he sits himself down and smokes the
literary man cigars and discourses
secondhand opinions to him during
the greater part Of the day. The lit
erary man has been for a long time
casting about for q remedy, and at last
he said: my dear Jones, I want to
tell you something in confidence. l
am frightfully troubled by people drop
ping. IN on nae whom ! don't wish to
see, and SO I am going to keep my door
locked hereafter. Now, Of course,
there are some whom I am always de-
lighted to have cali, and you, my dear

them. So am goingto arrange a pri-

or rather tied to q stake in the middle
of the prairie, and then,I went into the
hotel There was only one room with
a drygoods box at one end, which served
as a bar. / WAS told that I might bunk
on a buffalo robe which lay in the cor

Death From Emotion.

From America (says the London Lam
cet) comes the record of very instruc-
tive case in which q man died from
fright, and where the death narrowly
escaped being attributed to ether. The
patient had received severe injury to
his hip during some blasting operations.
Some days after the injury consultation
was held on his case in the Wilkesbarre
Hospital, and it was considered necessary
to administer ether. The man objected
to this and urged that his heart was
weak, but it was considered necessary to
an@s thetise him. This decision seemed
to affect the man strongly, he breathed
With great difficulty, asked for the win
dows to be opened, and died in few
minutes. No ethef.or an@sthetic had
been administered, and he had not snf-
fered any pain from the partial examin-
alton of the hip that had been made. No
particulars of the actual state of the
heart are given, but we are told ''mur-
muir" was present. There is no difficulty,
however, in tracing the death to pow
effui inhibitory infnannn nnnn q weak
nearJ. Had the surgeons begun to ad-
minister ether his death would have
been wrongfully attributed to the effects
of the an@sthetic.

1t is said that rumors were set

All Serene at Danyille.

Richmond, Va. May 24.-Governor
Cameron returned last night. This
morning he placed himself in tele-
graphic communication with the May
or of Danville and several prominent
citizens, in relation to the anticipated
trouble there, of which he had been
advised by Mayor Johnston, who had
asked for troops to preserve the peace.
Gov. Cameron came to the conclusion
that there was need Of interference on
his part and so advised the Mayor of
Danville, as he considered the civil
authorities of the town fully able to
suppress any disturbances. The Gov
instructed Mayor Johnston. however,
to notify him at once OF any serious
breach of peace that may occur to-
day or to o-morrow. There will be a
municipal election in Danville to-mor-
row.

assembling this morning the Methodist
Episcopal Conference heard the announce
ment that yesterdays ballot had elected
Rev. c. w. Smith to be editor of the Phil
adelphia Christian Advocate
The order of the iay being the question
of sending Missionary Bishop to Africa

it was agreed to send Bishop to Africa,
and nominations for the place were then
declared in order. Great confusion pre-
vailed. everybody wanted to speak, and all
wanted to speak at the same time, and the
names of nominees were proposed, one
after the other, with great rapidity. To
add to the confusion, each nomination was
seconded about score of times; anu, when
the time for naming canditat.s finally ex-
pired, the secretary announced the names
to be voted for. The Conference then adj
iourned until the afternoon.
Upon the reassembling Of the Conference,
a ballot was taken, which resulted in the
election of Missionary VIM. aylor, of the
South India Conference.

Singular and Curious Practice.

A Simla (Hindoostan) correspondent
writes: 1 do not think / have ever ic, !
you of 2 most singular and cul ious prac-
tice which obtains among the villagers
at "Annandale." There is a stream of
water which perpetually flows down
from the hillside, and which serves to
keep the gardens well watered. The
water, when once it reaches the level of
Annandale. is carried to a small reser-
voir by means Of long. narrow troughs
Beneath these troughs you may any day
see tiny little infant laying fiat on its
back, so as to admit of the rill of ter
flowing gently on its head. The little
creature, after being subjected to this
strange process for few minutes, falls
fast asleep, and remains so for about an
hour. If you were to ask the mother of
the child why she treats it in this man.
ner, she will tell you with an innocence
and earnestness that is not without its
attractions, that it is good for the child,
and that it is calculated to impal health
and vigor to the constitution. ! should
fancy just the contrary, but there is no
doubt that natives have great faith in
ths practice, and still persevere in it.

SwIndilng in Guinine.

A short time ago it was discovered by
the doctors attached to the great hospi-
tails in Paris that the use of the quinine
supplied to those establishments not
only did not prove satisfactory, but that
it proved positively injurious to their
patients. The quinine was therefore
analyzed with the result that it was
found to be largely adulterated. An
inquiry was institute d, and wholesale
druggist named Lacombe, by whom the
medicine was supplied by contract, has
been tried for the offense of adulterating
the quinine, and has at length been con-
demned by the Eighth Chamber to a
years Imprisonment, fifty francs fine,
and the insertion of the judgment at his
own expense in number Of the leading
newspapers.

Important Report on the Freedman's
Aid Society. Determined not
to Change the Name of

AlQ society," OcttTInluCN1 HUI
to Change the Name of
the Organization.
Philadelphia, May 20.-In the Methodist
Episcopal General Conference the report
on common intemperance was presented to
day. It urges the people to use their infu-
ence to Danish the social glass from socie-
ty. 1t recommends the formation of juve-
nile temperance societies In the Sunday
school, and that there shall be one temper
rance lesson each quarter in Sunday school
series. It also recommended that our State
legislatures be requested to introduce in
structions as to the use Of alcohol into State
universities and public schools. 1t says it
is the liquor traffic, which is the chief
source of widespread intemperance, which
is the most gigantic evil of the day. The
committee recommends the formation of
conference temperance societies in all the
Annual Conferences. The complete legal
prohibition of the liquor traffic is held to
be the duty of the civil government; that
the people ought not to allow themselves
to be controlled by party organizations,
managed in the interest of the liquor traf-
fic. Several motions were made postpon-
ing action on the above report but they
were all defeated and the report was adopt
ed.
Rev. j. M. Buckley was elected editor OF
the Christian Advocate; Rev. j. II. Bayliss
of the Western Christian Advocate; Rev.
Arthur Edwards, the present incumbent OF
the Northwestern Christian Advocate; Rev.
BENZ. ST. James Fry, of the Central Chris
tan Advocate, and Rev. o H. Warren, the
present incumbent OF the Northern Chrl :
tian Advocate. Report No. 8, of the Com
mittee on Episcopacy, which was present.
ed by Rev. DR.. Curry, stated that by a
unanimous vote they had recommended the
election of Missionary Bishop for Africa.
| The Committee on the Freedman's Aid
Society this afternoon adopted report to
| be presented to the General Conference to
morrow embracing the entire question OF
educational work in the South among
whites and blacks. The report will doubt
less be the subject of long and lively de-
bate The committee voted to recommend
that the name of the society be not chang
ed, and that an appeal be made to the
church to raise $500,000 during the Gen.
tenniul year for work in the South.
The committee say in the report that the
| mixed schools and mixed congregations
may in many places be most desirable and
best for all concerned. In other places one
class or the other, or both, may prefer sep
arate congregations and separate schools,
| if so, such is their right and We heartily
concur.
The report further states that it is the
Judgment of this committee that the entire
educational work Of tie M. E. Church in
the Southern States should be under the
direction of one society, and that in view
of the great success of the Freedman's Aid
