German Baptists.

The German Baptist Convention which
assembled at Harrisonpurg on the 9th adj
journed on the 18th. after laborious and
useful session. attended by over 10000 peo-
pie. The weather was quite unpropitlous
most of the time, aud on the last day IL
rained almost continuously, making III
very disaereeable on the grounds and caus-
ing much Inconvenience and discomfort
by reason of the slush and mud. war
rensburg, Mo-, was selected as the place
for holding the next meeting, which will
be Tuesday after Pentecost, in 1890.
A number of visitors and delegates from
the West stopped over in StauDton going
to Harrisonburg and returning on their
way to their homes. Tleir simplicity OF
manners. unaffected, genial way OF meet
ing strangers and unstudied conversation
indicate the primitive honesty and the en-
tire freedom from conventionaltles which
distinguish this people. No one can meet
them that feeling of kindness is not in
spired by the meeting. The women man.
ifest the same unconcern for social forms
happy. SIN ling faces, shed a glow OF pleas
ure wherever they go. Many of them are
beautiful, and their natural attractions are
heightened by the neat, simple dress they
wear, without artificial adornment. and
distinct from the fashionable dresssma-
king establishments. Their appearance is
severe commentary upon the folly of mod
ern fashions and society requirements. The
very simplicity of their attire, contrasting
so widely with the ''founce around and
furbelows" of the devotees of fash ion. has
subdning effect and draws out the better
feeling of humanity.
The action of the meeting on several
questions gives the trend of the thoughts
of the Dunkards and indicates the re-
| straints they choose to observe in habits
and usages of common practice. The ques-
ton as to whether the sisters should wear
riding habits was taken up, and the con-
vention advised that no superfluities be
worn. The question of whether gold
up, and it was decided that it was cause
for expulsion from the church. No
member who uses tobacco can be chic
sen as delegate. The meeting voted
down motion to encourage local option
as the rules of the church forbid taking
part in exciting political events.
They are a peculiar people when con-
4 trasted with other denominations and the
more to be respected for their peculiar
tiles, that the peculiarities are justified by
the religion they profess and the teachings
of the Bible, which they cherish as theil
cardinal creed.

THAT TREATY.
What Secretary Blaine Says Regar ding
1t, The Original greement was sat
isfactory.

Secretary Blaine announced in cabinet
meeting today that the Samoan agreement
which has been ratified was pronounced eml-
nently satisfactory TO our government in its
final shape. But little additional informa-
ion could be CLEANED at the State department
respecting the treaty. 1t is nov und d-rstood
that the agreement originally submitted to
the State department found to have been
entirely satisfactory to the President, Srcre-
tary Blaine and the cabinet The State de
partment officials are not yet certain whether
the samoan agreement will be made public
before the NEE ing of congress. As formal
treaty apper aiming - international ques-
tlons, it will have 20 be submitted 10 the
Senate, but as a simple agreement the State
department has the power TO make public its
provisions at their d secretion.
The agreement betseen England, Germa.
ny and the nited States on Samoan affairs
was signed at Berlin this afternoon, not to
be made public until confirmed by the Sen
ate. Walker Blaine said this evening h,
thought II would undoubtedly require ratiii
cation by the Senate The agreement was
cordially approved by all members of the
conference and their respective governments
The best of feeling r,yailed at the termlna
ton of the abors of the commissioners.
