The estate OF James H. Causten, the claims

ago. 1t appeared. however, that his papers had
constituted no part of the devise under his will,
their value being supposed to be uncomfortable;
but since the passage of the French spoliation
bill some OF his papers have become very valu-
able. Mr.. Causten having been engaged in
the prosecution of French spOliatiOn claims had

The A. VI. E. Zion Conference.

THE SIXTH DAYS SESSION-AN ADDRESS BY
FRED DOUGLASS.
The sixth day session of A. NJ. E. Zion con-
ference at Galbraith chapel, on 9th street, be-
tween and N, was opened this morning at 8
O'Clock by love feast, conducted by Elder ].
t. Johnson. The conference was opened by
Bishop Hood who announced his decision in
favor of the right and expediency of a lay man
closing class in prayer meeting with prayer.
Elder Cowles who held the opposite view in
the quarterly conference of the John Wesley
church, took exception to this decision, and on
the suggestion of the bishop, an appeal was
taken to the general conference.
Prof. Howard Day introduced Hon. Frederick
Douglass to the bishop and the conference, who
made a pleasant address, during which he re-
called the fact that he was formerly connected
with the Zion church, the only church with
which he mad ever been connected. Prof. Day,
at the request of the bishop, responded in be-
half of the conference to the greetings of Mr..
Douglass.
The Ladies' Foreign Missionary society re-
ported, through its vice president Mrs. Harmer
the result of their labors, which was adopted
Rev. Jacob Thomas, manager of the Book Con-
ten report from Elder Belf chairman of the
committee on the Book Concern. These re-
ports urged more generous support the
part of the members of the conference of the
publications of the church. Rev. Mr.. Thomas
said that the idea seemed to prevail that litera-
ture of this sort did not amount to much I'M
less it was the work OF white men, but lie
thought that the publications of the church
would stand comparison with those issued by
other churches.
Bishop Moore suggested that the churches be
required to subscribe for these publications.

Cowboy Fun.

81 shall never forget an experience
OF mine in Montana q little over two
years ago." said Brakeman Schultz, of
the Northern Pacific. There were
Andrews, the conductor; Wylie, the
engineer; Colby, the fireman, and m Y
self running No. passenger on the
Montana division, and one night
about dark we were getting out of
Miles City, whom red light was seen
by the engineer, and he stopped the
train. Just as it stopped about doz-
en- cowboys, logged up in full uniform,
each with brace of revolvers in his
belt, got into the coaches, while a few
more guarded the engine. knew
trouble was coming as soon as | saw
them get on, and | took a seat among
the passengers. The conductor did
not appear at first to realize that any
thing was wrong, but went to the for
ward part of the coach, when half
dozen of the buckskin-clad boys grab
bed him and set him upon the coal
box. He protested, but the boys paid
no attention other than TO tell him not
to move finger, as they were going
to shoot the heels of his boots Off 1
rather enjoyed the fun, though lay
mighty close, fearing that they would
notice me, but they didn't before the
conductor was short the heels of his
boots. He was white as a Snowflake,
but he held up bravely, fearing a mis-
calculated shot. Then they caught
me and tied me and passenger back
to back and set us over a seat, and
then commenced betting among them
selves which would pull the other
over. The stakes were put up, and
then two of them got prongs and be-
gan touching us up with them. The
fellow / had pitted against me was a
Swede, and neither of us had any show
to pull the other over; then | resorted
to a stratagem, and when they gave
the Swede a prong and he jumped
about a foot, pulled hard and he
came flying over the seat, and went so
far over that he nearly broke my
back. We were loosened then, and
they took the Swede's boots off and
stood him on his head, and then played
the bastinado on the soles OF his feet.
Well, you'd died laughing to hear that
poor fellow below, entreat, pray, and
cuss those cowboys, and, although my
legs were smarting from some dances
| got, | just roared. After they had
done enough mischief they shot out
the lights, and left the train. 81

A Fable.

A swallow flew down and plucked a
small piece of wool from The back of
a sheep. The sheep was very indie-
nant, and denounced the swallow in
scathing terms.
"Why do you make such a fussp"
asked the swallow. "You never saw
anything when the shepherd takes all
the wool you have on your back?"
"ihat, s different thing entirely"
replied the sheep, ''if you knew how
to take any wool without hurting me
as the shepherd does, l would not OBJ
ject SO much.
This fable is merely intended to ex-
plain why millions can be stolen with
impunity, while the theft of pair of
boots, or loaf of bread is punished
with such severity. TeraS Strings.
