Charles Young, had tho greatest difficulty
in getting il 'ac3epted' in London, and
he WA obliged Gt last 10 bear the
expense Of its first presentation. It's his

OF Mark Twain's "InnoccntS Abroad,
which went begging for publisher long
time before il was brought out. Manager
Palmer finally got hold N the play after II
had Leen running in London for awhile, ana
brought it out in this country at
McNicker's Theatre in Chicago. 1t had
hi unprecedented run there. and it has
been a New York success for two seasons.
The company that is playing here IS the
same with one or two exceptions that has
been at the Madison Square Theatre for
two years. The audience last night was
one of the largest Of the season. There
were very few vacant seats in the lower
part Of the house and the galleries were
well filed. The play, which is that of the

and attractive woman, and as an actress
has achieved quite a success. The rest of
the company, without exception, was good.
The play will be repeated tonight.

Episcopalians Quarrel Over the Negro

The quarrel in the Episcopal church at
Charleston, ). C., over the admission Of
negro clergymen into the Diocesan Con-
vention Is increasing in bitterness. Five
or six prominent members Of DR.. Porter :
ella urch seeded and rented pews in Grace
church. DR.. Porter'- is the only high
church in the city, but the cause of the
secession WAS not the question of church
service. The election was recently held
for delegates to the Diocesan Convention.
DR.. Porter has been one of the stanchest
advocates Of Bishop Howe, in claiming the
right of colored delegates to admission to
the convention. In the election DR.. Por-
ter succeeded in beating the opposition,
hence the secession. Among the seceders
are a warden, and three vestrymen. The
convention meets at Anderson next week,
and lively times are expected. These
facts are suggestive. What vast amount
of trouble it would save these Southern
religionists, if they would obey the sim
pie rules Of the Gospel as well as honest
cannon sense. in dealing with the negro
question.

The forenoon was taken up by music. essays,
and interesting remarks for the good of the
order. After the noon lunch an hour was
spent in social converse and some of us be-
came pleasantly acquainted with those
we never met before. The recess is
not spent in idle gossip, but in the comparing
of methods and ideas by men and women who
come together for purpose. not for a
pastime. The afternoon session was taken
up with discussion of the question, How
does the tariff affect farmers - j. &. Libby
was appointed to open the topic, but he was
at Brighton attending market so d. b. John
son was put on in his place. He
said he thoroughly believed in
an emphatic protective policy in
this country for the benefit of our manufac-
turer and farmers. Whatever lifts one
benefits the other. He believed if the manu-
facturers and farmers of foreign nations were
allowed the use of our markets without pay
ing duty on imports, they would be- enjoying
greater privileges in this country than our
own citizens. While the Maine farmer had
to pay taxes and WAS subject to all the
duties of citizenship, the Canadian farmer
had the same privilege but was
subject to none of the responsibilities Bro.

exhaustive argument in favor of our protec-
tive policy. He talked one and half hours
and was listened to with marked attention 1t

equal space of time. He was requested to
furnish notes of his remarks for
