Profaning She Holy Name. ;

Is it not q terrible thing to think Of
the frequency with which so many
thousands, every day, upon everv little
annoyance use the most Holy Name Of
Our Lord by way Of cursiug or swear.
ing? 1t is one of the most deplorable
vices Of our time. And it is not only
the vulgar and wicked who do this;
many VINO ought to know better
fall into this abomnible habit.
In number of diuceses, both in Eng
land and our own country, IN order to
counterfeit this imm ense evil and
shameful sin, aud to guard the young
especially from falling into the habit,
associations have been formed, the
members being pie dyed against any
profane USE of the Holy Name. We
trust these societies will spread and
flourish.
la this. connection we happen, just
new, to meet with the exhibition of the
futility and absurdity of the habit, set
forth III the following reasons:

1t won't light your cigar when ysur

1t won't mend a lamp chimney when

1t won't change 1887 at the top Of
your letter into 1883.
1T won't make your corn stop aching

It won't keep the nails in your new
boots from running into your foot.
It wont shake the shoveltul OF Snow

THE twenty-ffth general conference of
the Methodist Episcopal church opened in
New York city May l. Bishop Bowman
presided and about five hundred delegates
were present. Rev. DR.. Hare called atten-
ton to the growth of Methodsm. During
the progress of the great convention May
"A, 1874. the first telegraph message, What
has God wrought" was wired from Wash
ington to Baltimore. The membership was
then 900. 600 and il is now nearly 5000, 600.
John M. Trimble of Ohio is the only dele
gate present that attended the convention
forty-four years ago. The matter of admit
ting the woman delegates was referred
TO committee. On the second day the
bishops address was read. 1t gave re-
view of the revival work that had been GO
ing on in the church since the last confer
ence. Since then not less than 100000 souls
have been brought into the church, and the
mem6 ership has gone up from 1,769,54 to
2,O93,935. The struggle between capital
and labor and the temperance question
were referred to, and it was denied that
the church has any right, as a church,
to take part in political struggles. Sunday
newspapers were condemned. On Thursday
the report OF the committee adverse TO the
admission of woman delegates was take up
and discussed. Friday the debate was CON
tinued, and then adjourned until Monday.
When the debate on the eligibility of
women as lay delegates closed on Monday a
motion to admit those elected to the present
conference and refer the question of their
eligibility to future conferences was lost.
Rev. DIR. Neeley's amendment to the com
mittee's report was then adopted, 249 to 173.
This amendment excludes women from
seats in the present conference and submits
the question of eligibility to future general
conferences to annual conferences

JOHN GoRMAN made application
before Judge Broderick last week for
a new trial of the sheriff contest case.
The Judge refused to grant it. Cor
man had nine months to make out
his case, the election being held in
November, and the case went before
the court in August following, and
of course was decided in favor of
the legally elected sheriff, Havird.
The case was appealed from the dis
trict to the Supreme court, and if it is
brought before the latter court, the
verdict will not differ from that of the
district court. Malice, the outgrowth
of defeat, is at the bottom of it all
and the only hope there is of gratii
cation is in the fact that law cases,
very frequently, for inexpllcable rea-
sons, creep very slow Y to a final ter
mination, and Havird cannot draw
his salary until final decision from
which no appeal can be taken, is
reached. Havird will draw his pay
in full, finally, and is jogging along
as contentedly and good naturedly as
if nothing had happened. A great
many citizens of this county who
voted for German, yet who are up
holders of the American principle
that the majority shall rule, and the
right shall be the victor, have placed
their seal of condemnation on this
contest case, and the underlying
causes that brought it forth, and
swear that Havird will get their votes
if he is candidate for a second term,
no matter who his opponent may be.
The right generally comes out vic
torious in the end, and gets redress,
with good interest, for injury CON-
mitted. Haviri can afford to await
patiently the termination of the is
sue, and his prosecutors will ulti-
mately find that they have thrown
their weight on the wrong end OF the
teter, and brought Havird up instead
of down.
