In the A. NJ. E Conference this afternoon every
thing went quietly until W. L Derrick arose and
wanted committee OF lawyers appointed to ex-
anime the numerous bills that will never see the
light again unless such committee is appointed.
An excited debate arose, during which Thos SAX

ferred to Dr. steward as Bishop steward. DR.. Stew
ard Immediately made a motion to suspend the
gentleman. A hundred men were on their feet in
an instant, and a number crowded around Bishop
Disney, shaking their fists Great excitement
reigned for an hour. DR.. steward got upon the
communion table and, with the help OF Bishop
Wayman and Campbell, finally restored sufficient
quiet to say that he would not withdraw his mo-
ton unless an apology and some assurance TO re-
spect the chair hereafter was given. After much
more talk the orderly members got up TO leave
and an abrupt adjournment followed The trouble

There is one glory Of youth-another,
like the sun shining in his strength, Of
wise maturity; still another - mild,
chastened, beneticent-of old age. 1t
is beautifully symbolized by the silver
crown that refines the plainest fea-
tur,s.
"Mammap asked serious-eyed
child, looking up from her favorite
Sunday book, "Pilgrim's Progress, )"
Did you ever know anybody who live
in the Land of Beulah?"
"Nes, dear" dropping her voice that
it might not reach the patriarch who
watched the sunset from the porch,
"Grandpapa do s."
From letter written in his ninety
first year, four pages in length and tran
scribed in clear characteristic follow

quotation is my olfice-window. This

accountable opinions about school and
the washing of faces and hands. He
submits to all this as far as he must,
and consoles him self with the reflection
that some day he will be old enough to
do without parents, and then he will
not wash his face oftener than he
chooses, nor go to school.
In the meantime he plays truant as
frequently rs he can; and especially
when autumn, with her mellowing fin
gers, has been busy among the wild
fruits is he to be found afeld What q
happy little wretch he is! Everything
about him excites him to activity; ev-
erything affords him pleasure. Whis-
Ting, throwing stones, chasing butter
flies. eating blackberries, he wanlers
about, thoroughly careless, irresl ols-
ible, gladstone urchin. Nothing hurts
him. He triumphs over the miscal
laneous food he Grams himself with;
comes up smiling after every accident
His body is all elastic and hinges, and
it does not matter how much he tum-
bles. [ saw some tine ago an account

hope it is true SO, too, quite recently,
a boy going along field in Nebraska,
was suddenly snatched up by whirl-
wind and whisked over fence, but IL
each case he came back quite unhurt
There is one catastrophe, however, to
which he seems particularly liable, and
that is the wasp. Where he finds so
many it is difficult to say, but the fact
remains that he has a positive genius
for getting stung. This demoralizes
him altogether, and he has been known
to ruin prodigious distances to report
the calamity to the domestic circle,
roaring all the way. For one thing the
wasp is ike the boy, rummager; for
another, it is very fond of blackberries.

The Russian Imperial Archaeological
Commission has lately explored the
tomb of Scythian king in the West
ern Caucasus, on the River Kuban. 1t
consists of stone building, sixty-seven
feet long, in the center of q mound.
The slabs of stone are decorated with
stucco and frescoes. 1t is described as
"a treasure house of archaeological
relics" containing vessels of copper
and silver, with beads, iewelry, and
ornaments to the value of $4,000. 1t is
thought to date from about the begin

W. B. BRADFORD, agent for eight
years among the Piutes and Apaches in
New Mexico, is firm Believer in the
doctrine that "the only good Indian is
a dead Indian" He thinks it useless
to spend money on them for education.
The boys, he says, return from the
Eastern schools more full of the devil
than ever, and it is not long before
they are as degraded as they ever were.
