RESTORE NOT THE PAST.

Lumber is being deposited and
buildings commenced in the burnt
district, outside and adjoining the
prescribed fire limits, and appear
ances strongly indicate restoration
Of some of the Objectionable features
the fire had swept away. it was
hoped for ever. The bill defining fire
limits and regulating the erection
and repairing of buildings within and
adjoining those limits is, we believe,
generally considered 10y intelligent
people to be Il good measure, and
being such its becoming law is
scarcely questioned. In the mean
time there is large wooden struc-
ture in the course of erection on the
west side of Maunakea street, near
the Fish Market, that does not con-
form to clause in the first section
OF the bill referred TO, when specl-
fies that son all streets where one
side only is within the fire limits,
the buildings on the opposite side
(if not fire-proof) shall not exceed
one story of not over lG feet in
height" Whether the owner is
acting in ignorance of the proposed
regulation, or for the purpose Of
forestalling it, we are unable to say,
But where the former unsanit0ry
conditions are in danger Of being
restored is the area outside of the
prescribed fire limits, and if thC
Government does not already pos
sess sufficient authority to proven
them, the Legislature should inyes
it with additional power.

Judged By their acts alone the skilled

most stupid people in the world apparently
not even knowing upon which SIDE tnelr
own bread is buttered. Lawyers DOCTORS
editors, engineers, artists actors oook
keepers, drummers, indeed, every pooy eA'
cent strikers, are paid according to their
skill and efficiency, and it is the desire LOT
higher nav that stimulates each one OF tnem
to become proficient in his respective call,
inc. With the strikers, however, all must
be paid alike, skillful, rapid and efflcien'
workman receiving no more pay than one
who is the exact reverse. By such system
all incentive to acquire skill is destroyed
for why should one put himself to the trou
BILE necessary to become skillful laoore'
when he knows that as such bis wages cal
be no more and his hours of work no les'
than those of every other man in the same
trade. no matter how worthless and triilins
he may be?

Conference N. E Church South.

In the conference, in session at Rich
mond, on Saturday, Rev. J.. L. Pickett, oil
the North Texas Conference, having been
located against his will, submitted an appeal
from the decision Of his conference. A live
ly debate ensued, during which it appeared
that he had been located without his con-
sent, but without charges against his moral
character. The ground upon which he had
been retired for itneraucy was his unavaila.
bility as travelling preacher. The debate
turned upon the question whether a preach.
er was allowed to appeal when there had
been no imputation against his moral char
acter. The brother had been located be-
cause of his refusal to administer baptism

ing candidates for baptism choice of modes.
A resolution was adopted that Bishop Nc
Tyeires manual of discipline be referred to
q committee, to determine what authority it
has in the determination of the law of the
church. The Bishop said that the book,
while expressing the views of his colleagues
in the bishopric, had no more official au-
thority than any other book.
A motion was made to reconsider the
resolution by which the subject was referred
to committee.
Col. E. w. Cole, of Tennessee, said that if
this motion prevailed he would offer reso.
luton that Bishop McTyeire be requested to
write an introduction to his manual, in
which he should express the views which he
had just explained.
DR.. Winfield, of Arkansas, said in effect
that Methodism has no Romish hierarchy in
its episcopacy that the Bishops were not
the lawmakers of the church; that they
dare not 60 beyond the law made by the
general conference that he himself should
not be governed by the manual unless the
conference resolved that it was authority in
cases considered by it; that if the book
should be declared authoritive, he should
certainly be guided by its teachings.
DR.. Haygood, of Georgia, who was elected
to the bishopric at the last General Confer
ence, but declined ordination, said he had
never in all his life heard that any one had
ever considered the manual to be an author
itative exposition of the law. He acknowl-
edged its excellence; it was mutum in par
vo, but not ERIN go bragb."
By permission of the conference the origi-
nal resolution was withdrawn, when that of
Colonel Cole was considered. After some
debate the whole subject was laid on the
table.

A GOOD WHITEwAsH.-The whitewash

A GOOD WHITEWAsH.-The whitewash
season being at hand, we publish the follow.
ing receipt, which is recommended to us as
being excellent:
"Take one bushel of unslacked lime, ten
pounds of Spanish whiting. one-half gallon
inseed oil, one pint spirits of turpeDtine.
Slack the lime in clean hot water, and, while
Stacking, put in the whiting, oil and turpen-
tine. Stir them all together, and don't use
it for two hours; then thin it with sweet
milk, and you have an excellent whitewash
ready for use and adhesive"
The iudicious application of whtewash is
measure of economy in the protection of
property, besides adding materially to the
appearances of the premises when used.

A MODERN MONTE CHRIsTo.-The most
successful effort at escape from prison walls
in the face of seemingly insur,nountable
obstacles, since the days of the renown-
ed Jack Shepherd, has been made by
Louis Viau, the convict Of St. Vincent de
Paul, in Montreal, who led the revolt Of
that penitentiary on April 9th. He is a
man of medium height, why and tough,
and capable Of great endurance and pluck,
as was proven on his fight with the prison
officials a short time ago when being search
ed. After the revolt he was put in the dun
geon on bread and water. He, in some
way, secured knife and made saw with
it. He had also piece Of a pail handle
and fragment Of a stone. With these he
tunneled wall three feet thick built of
stones and bricks. This brought him TO
the corridor where he tunnelled another
wall, this time of brick. There was still
another heavy wall between him and the
outer air of the prison yard. By the dim
light of coal oil lamp he did the work of
tunnelling this latter obstacle, leaving the
rubbish in the inner passage. He had very
little to do now in the way of tunnellioS,
but had to scale walls twenty two feet high.
Work men had been using a derrick with
which they were erecting new wing.
Climbing like cat on this derrick. Viau
cut one of the ropes. He then, with the aid
of the rope climbed from the new wing to
the roof of the main building Here he was
seen by the guard. "Go back there, or I'll
fire." shouted a guard, dead shot. The
desperate convict lodged back, ran along a
wall, dropped into garden on the other
side and dashed through the village, having
Just three hours of darkness To aid him in
his escape. The Montreal city police are
searching for him now.
