Christ and Women.

Into the life of women-the He brew-confessedlv imperfect, all other women sinful. perverted and dc.rldcd-C hrist came. do not know women of any kind with whom he did not come into personal communication. He glorfied mother hood by being born of the Virgin, and when child became O5edicnt :o his parents while other boys were whipping their mothers, he was obe- dient to his while men and lads in other lands were speaking of their mothers as woman. an unc!ean, de- graded thing, he addressed Ter in tones of reverent admiration. and said. 'Oh woman ,-oh, mother " and for ever sanctiiied those halow- ed names. He went to the dead body of damsel, and, taking her by the hand, said: Maiden 1 say unto thee, arise - and maidens who have heard his voice have been rising ever since. A woman who was a sinner wept her way back to virtue at his feet. Thousands upon thousands have done so since. Another sinful woman, about to be stoned to death for her transgressions, learned that there was compassion in him for such as herself, and men with stones in their hands ready to throw at her learned that in his eyes sinful woman is no more guilty than q guii- ty man. Another woman who was a sinner heard from his own lips the profoundest truth he ever uttered. He accepted the friendship, the ser vice, and became the friend and ser want of woman. He converted the heathen idea of virtue from the strength and bravery of man into the modesty and purity of woman. In his final agony his last look on earth
 was towards his mother his last act to provide her with 8 home; his last words to human being were to her: "Oh, woman. cxcelling all other women-oh, mother. behold thy son," Did he blight women?
 ] After his death his apostles preached his name and merits. They carried the facts of his fellowship and teaching concerning women into their discourses, letters and practice. They came in contact with the Ro- man world, which, at that time, had already been demoralized by false and vile teachings from Greece. They i found her at best thing, and left her a person. They found that the
 highest object of life WAS the state to
 women contributed nothing only as she bore sons to become its soldiers. But the Apostles taught that woman's kingdom, the home was the true ob- ject of life. Polygamy was preya- lent, concubinage common. and all the gross and social unnatural crimes committed with no confession of shame.
 The Apostles taught the wrong of these things, and changed public sentiment. The converts became heroines. They suffered and died for the Nazarcne. So useful so vir- i tuous. and 80 noble were they that a Grecian teacher of eloquencc ex- claimed before one of his fashionable audiences: "Oh, gods of Greece What women these christian have :" i Dorcas was one of them-a poor woman who made garments for the poor, whom the poor people missed when she died--and challenge the production of single woman like her in all heather and pagan anti quty, or in any part of the world where the name of Christ is not preached, and l promise that will find woman just like her in every
 village where it is.-Seleeted.

WOMEN AS DELEGATES.
Innovation in Selecting representatives to
the II. E. General Conference.

P1TTsBURG, March 5-The twenty-ffth an
nual General Conferences of the Methodist Epis
copa1 Church will be held ia New York city. be-
ginning May 1. Several matters of importance
will come up, which will have an unusual inter
est for the mem bers of that church. In all,
from the one hundred and thirteen conferences
and ten mission districts In the United States.
there will be over five hundred delegates present.
One of the questions which will excite the
greatest interest will be the first to come up.
This is the first General Conference to which
women have ever been elected as delegates, and
the question whether they entitled to take
their seats will be the first before the con-
ference. 1t 10 the general impression that there
will, however. be very little objection. Besides
Mrs Vankrk. of this city, Miss Frances Willard,
of Chicago has been elected delegate.
Another question of more than usual interest
which will como up is in regard to the length OF
time that pastor may remain at any place.
The present Tenure of pastorate is three years,
hut this generally thought to be short.
The delegation from the Pittsburg Conference
will recommend the extension of time.
Four new bishops will also be elected by this
conference and editors for the various church
papere and periodicals.
The question OF the missionary bishop is also
one of considerable prominence. The church
now has but one missionary bshop-Bishop
VIM Taylor, of Africa-aud this conference
will be called upon to decide whether special
missionaries shall be elected whether oil
bishops shall be placed on level aud some one
from the number then appointed to this field .
For some time reform in the manner of elect
ing lay delegates has been sgitated. and will in
all probability be decided. Now each confer
ence elects two delegates regardless of irs size.
Many consider that the lay delegates should be
elected according 10 the numerical strength of
the district
The question of admitting lay delegates into
the ANIMAL conferences will also most probably
come up. Besides these questions the confer
ence has general supervision in the temporal
economy of the church. the regulation of mis-
sionary matters. and elections of fraternal dele
gates to other Me thodlst bodies. ys

HARRISBURG. Pa. March 5.-Particulars Of a
defacation IN the Office of the county treasur-
er have been made public 1t has been oiscov-
cred that during the term of county treasurer
John S. Longnecker. from 1882 10 1885, there
a defalcAtion in his Office amounting to
$1,000 Longnecker's clerk was Erasrus j.
Jones. who succeeded him as comfy treasurer.
When Longnecker went out of Office. Jones gave
him receipts showing that he had received all
the money supposed to be in the treasury, when
tho fact was that there was a shortage of SI7,-
600, which Jones concealed and carried through
all his term of Office. ending the fret of Janu-
airy. On that date George Grove became coun-
~ treasurer and he would net receipt for any
thing but cash from Jones There was a good
deal OF delay before Jbnes would admit that
there was anything wrong. but finally, when
he could no longer prevent it. the truth came
ont. The county looked 70 Longnecker to pay
the defaication of his crooked clerk, and Long
necker fell back on his bondsmen, Col James
Young of Middletown, and Col. ". w. Jen-
nnes. OF Harrisburg, who paid the money, tax
ing LonRneekers note for $50, 900, representing
principal and interest. The affair has created
the greatest excitement in Harrisburg, aud
there is much conjecture 10 what Jones cid
with the money. He has been in office for
years and for several years past has been the
reputed owner OF the Morning Call newspaper
There is no talk of proceeding against him
eriEainally.

After Tweenty-Onc Years.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, May One of
the most notable cases in the legal annals
Of California was settled to-day, after
twenty-one years obligation, which was
marked by five revcrsals Of decisions OF
the lower court by the Supreme Court
and by the killing Of the defendant by the
plaintiff. BY the Supreme Courts dccis-
ion to-day, Capt. j. Il. Cox RECEIVERS 1870,
600 from the estate Of Charles McLaugh-
lin. the millionaire whom he tried in the
courts TO make INN pay his just debt and
then killed him. AS far back as 1864 Cox
took railroad contract work from Nc
Laughlin. Cox spent all his fortune,
amounting to $40, 600, and his partner put
in an equal amount. They found their
capital ~uncqualed to the work, and Nc
Laughlin refused TO make payment until
the work was completed. About this
time the railroad was sold to the Contra
Pacific, and Mclaughlin pockcted the
amount he received for the work done by
Cox. Mclaughlin admitted he ow01CoX
20, 600. but no more. Cox then brought
suit in 1867 and got judgment for nearly
200. 600.
The usual appeal was taken, and two
years later the decision was overruled and
a new trial was ordered. -Four times this
process was repeated. Cox being award
ed damages varying from $500, 600 to
800 900. Whenever the case was tried
on lis merits he won, but every time he
secured judgement the supreme cOurj
knocked him out with n technicallty
Cox's business went to the dogs and he
became very poor.
Finally in February 1888, when foI
the fourth time he saw a fortune snaachcC
from him by a technical decision of The
supreme court, he stopped Judge Me
Kinsley, who wrote the decision, ant
bitterly denounced him. He grew Sc
desperate that he drew a pistol on tn
Justice, but he was disarmed. In tn
following December he walked one da,
into MeLaughlin's Office and demanded
that his debt be paid. Mclaughlin
laughed at him, when Cox drew a pisto
and shot him fatally. E%cLaughlin dice
in n few hours. He claimed Cox sho
him without proVicatiOn, but Cox swor
that Mclaughlin reached toward hi
pistol pocket, in which afterward wa
found a large bowie knife with a handl
resembling a pistol. Cox was never con
victed, public sentiment being on hi
side.
The fifth and last trial OF the case cam
up i'm October. 1886, and resulted in
Judgment for Cox of $685., 600. Toda
the supreme court affirmed this, sllghtl
reduced the amount, and thus ends a
extraordinary case. McLaughlin's estat
/, when he died, was appraised at $4,000,
600. He lived in tine style during a
