Proceedings Of the Convention.

CHICAGO. ILL.,, October 16 The gal
leries and lobby of Central Mnsie Hall
were crowded to the utmost this morn
ing when the Protestant EpiscopalCon.
vention opened, as it was known that
the great debate on the proposition to
droJ the words Protestant Episcopal"
in designating the church would close.
Morning prayer was said by the Rev.
Hobart Chetwood, of California, and
the benediction was pronounced by
Bishop futile, OF Missouri.
Debate wat opsned by DR.. StiiDgfel-
low, of Alabama, who urged for a post
ponement Of the consideration OF the
question on the ground that the time
wa not ripe. The Rev Mr.. Stoddard,
of Northern New Jersey, held to the
same view. MI. Mcconnell, of Louisi'
ana, bitterly opposed the proposition
TO change the name of the church and
DR.. Sheenfield, of Virginia, took the
anne view.
The debate was then closed by Mr..
Judd, who commended that the opposi-
ton did not represent the progressive
spirit which should actuatethe church.
The church should take on its broad
and rue name and this was not 10 be
confouuded with Romaniem. Nr.
Judd spoke fer twenty minutes, con-
sideriDg the question from all points,
and when the hour of IL o'clock had
arrived the debate was declared closed.
The names OF the clerical delegates
were called fret and we're guile evenly
divided on the proposition, but the
sentiment OF the lay delegates was
more generally opposed TO the pro-
position. The vote by diocsses was
as follows, f~oity-niDe dioceses voting:

NAVY DEPARTMENT. W AsHlsoroS,,
October 10, 1885,
DEAR sn-A custom has grown up
in navy yards oil having q list oil mel
-employes-"suspended," There il
no authority OF law for this, and you
will see that II is discontinued and all
such lists erased. Yours respectfully,
W. @ WHITNEY, Secretary Of tho Navy.
The law provides that no new men
shall be employed at navy yards dur
ing the sixty days preceding an cleo
ton, but this does not apply to men
already employed and carried along
upon the suspended" roll. The
above order Is understood to be in
tended to prevent an INVASION OF the
law, which is now possible by hiring
new men three and four months be-
fore an election and carrying them
without pay until election time.

plants cannot penetrate into such
soils. The frequent use of the spade
the rake. the fork and the hoe will
effect that loosening of the earth
which is called pulverization.
The first object of pulverization
is to give scope to the roots of vege-
tables, for without abundance of
roots no plants will become vigorous
whatever may be the richness of the
soil in which they are planted. The
fibres of the roots take up the ex-
tract of the soil by intersu 'ception;
the more the soil is pulverized the
more these tibres are increased, the
more extr lct is absorbed and the
more vigorous does he plant be-
come.
Another important use of the
pulverization Of the soil is to admit
atmospheric air to the spongioles
Of the roots. If the roots are expos
ed entirely to the air they become
dry and withered, and lose their
power of expansion and contraction,
but, though it is necessary to have
the roots covered W tn soil, that soil
should be sufficiently loose to admit
the passage of air; and if the roots
of plants are covered with soil cak-
ed together so as to be impervious
to air, there will he a defcieacr in
their products. as the plants are de-
priyed of their proper supply of
carbon. Fruit trees will not produce
fruit, and timber trees will not pro-
duce durable timber, if the spon
gioles Of their roots are entirely
deprived of access to atmospheric
air.
