According TO the following interesting
account, published in the y. Y. Tribune,

Methodist Conference held in New York

tobacco among Methodist clergymen. At
10 O'Clock Bishop Mallalieu called before
the conference the practitioners who had
been under examination for full orders,
aud after prayer by the Rev. Andrew
schrlvrr, the Bishop put the usual ques-
iious to the candidates, explaining them
aud adding words Of counsel from his
own experience. The exclamation, "The
Lord pity the man that has to take mod

created great applause and laughter.
The last question Was, "Will you Who'll

1t WAS the desire OF the late John Erics
son that il any biography of him was un
dertaken 1t should be entrusted to hi;
friend, Colonel william c. Church. Editor
of The Army aud Navy journal" Ac.
coriipgly, the executors of the estate
have turned over to Colonel Church all
the papers which would be useful in pre-
pairing biography of the great engineer.
These papers, it appears, furnish much
more material than was at FIRST supposed.
1t is true that Captain Ericsson destroyed
his diary; but all his documents since
1850 have been preserved, and in private
letters aud other papers is found abundant
material relating to his youth and to the
influences which shaped his early career.

The Big Brooklyn Bridge.

At the annual meeting of the trus-
tees OF the Brooklyn bridge the follow
ing interesting facts were given; Dur
ing the last twelve months the receipts
from tolls have been $917 ,961 SO, divid-
ed as follows: Promenade SIG, 1868. SO
carriageways, $67,23l.59; railroad,
1888, 1904. The number of passen-
gers carried in the twelve months upon
Oh the railroad was 3O,33l ,2S3, giving
an income from this department of
1888, ,76O; while for the previous year
ending Dec. l, 1887, l7,O4O,3l3 pas
sengers were carried by the railroad,
giving Il revenue of $76S,76S. The
whole number of foot passengers for
the year was 2,7S5,533. The aggre-
gregate number of foot and railway
passengers for the year was 33, ,1l6,S16,

In taking the eleventh census q
great many cumbrous and practically
useless details that were carried out
in taking the tenth census are to be

to reach with much less labor than
heretofore all the results that are Of
practical value. Twenty-Five enor-
nous volumes, besides compendiums,
were the outgrowth of the census of
1880. The bill now before Congress,
to make provision for the census of
1890, limits the volumes to seven, viz

WOnderOus Washington.

| There is no commonwealth in the
nation so free from pests and natures
calamities as Washington says the Ia
coma Journal. Here the toiler in
winter can retire to rest at night and
know that he will not suffer from
Billiards, or find himself barricaded
with snow in the morning; and in
summer he can slumber serenely I'M
der his blanket without sweltering
from heat and have to labor with the
fan to prevent suffocation. Here the
people are not terrorized with thunder
and lightning, cyclones and tornadoes,
and subjected to loss of life and prop
erty, nor devastated with destructive
floods In sunfner, and perilous bliz-
yards in winter. ffere human flesh is
heir to very few ills, the latitude and
climate being favorable to health and
not disease breeding. SO much for
climatic conditions.
Here the husbandman can sow and
know that he will reap, lis there are
no insects to destroy or injurc his
crops. The gardener is sure of the
wages of his toll, as there is no potato
bugs or other enemies Obstructive to
his truck" The fruit-grower knows,
that with proper care, his orchard
will yield sure and rich harvest Of
fruit, unexcelled in size and excellence
in any part of the country, as no de-
structive enemies infest it.
In Western Washington without,
and in some parts of Eastern Wash
ington with irrigation, crops of any
kind never fail; unlike regions east of
the Rocky Mountains that are affected
with uncertainty-with not enough or
too much moisture. Here, the econo-
my of nature has been generous in
the distribution of its water courses
leading from their mountain sources
for irrigating purposes, where needed;
and in the mild manners of its ele-
ments; in the cquableness of its sea-
sons, and the fruitfulness of its soil.
Therefore, Washington is the paradise
of human happiness; the Mecca of
prosperity; the commonwealth of
varied and unmeasurcd resources; the
land of vast wealth; the home of
brave, intelligent and prosperous peo-
pie, and will, ere five years, be the
Empire State of the Pacific Coast.

A Noted Specialist Insane.

A recent New York dispatch says
A local paper states that notwithstand-
ing carefully studied efforts to keep
the facts from public knowledge, it
has leaked out that DR.. Alexander E.
Mcdonald, General Superintendent OF
the Insane Asylum on Wards inland,
has become insane 1t is hoped the
atfliction is only temporary, and that
the once brilliant mind of the great
specialist will be restored to its normal
condition, but the prospects at present
is not encouraging. DR.. Mcdonald
for many years has been one of the
universally recognized authorities OF
this country on the subjects of insanity
and its treatment. 1t seems like a
true exposition of the irony of fate
that he himself should have been visit
ed with an affliction that no one was
supposed to know better than he how
to cure. Mr.. Mcdonald was one of
the experts whose testimony convict
ed Guiteau, the assassin of President
Garfield, and it is noteworthy that he
is another of those who participated in
that trial, and who have apparently
fallen under the ban of the assassin's
curse.
