A Valuable Box.

Mr.. Thomas Goodall, of Sanford, Me-, has
an ingenious invention made by native of
Geneva, Switzerland. 1t is a box about three
inches long, two inches wide and three-fourths
of an inch deep This box is full of machinery,
and when key is applied portion of the
top will open and small bird come forth and
sing. clipper, autter its wings, turn about
and retreat out of sight. The work beneath
is of solid gold, and very finely wrought.
This box cost $500, and Mr. Goodall values it
at much more, for it has been impossible to
duplicate it, The inventor died after making
this one, and, although he had the machinery
of several others made, no one as yet has been
able to put it together and make it work.
Once Mr.. Goodall had occasion to have it re-
paired, and he was Obliged to send ii to Swift
zerland for that purpose. -Boston Herald.

Christian world for his labors in behalf of
the Indians Bishop Grafton, of Fond Du
Lac, was once prominent among the Cow
ley Fathers;" Bishop Thompson, of Missis-
sippi, was formerly rector of Christ's church,
New York city, and Bishop Seymour, of Hi
nois, was also former dean of the General
Theological seminary, of New York. Noted
among the clerical deputies in the lower
house are Rev Dr. Phillips Brooks, of Bos-
ton, DR.. Henry A. Colt, of st. Pauls school,
Concord, n H.. Rev. Dr. Morgan Dix, of
New York, and many others.
Among the lay delegates are many whose
names look little odd in a religious body, as
the public knows them well as politicians or
men of scientific or literary fame, such as ex-
Mayor Seth Low, of Brooklyn; Erastus
Corning, of Albany; Hamilton Fish, DIR.
Shattuck and Columbus Delano. The last
meeting of the convention was in Chicago in
1856, as it is a triennial body, and there many
exciting issues were introduced and post
poned to this session to give time for thor
ough discussion. After the preliminary work
is done, therefore, some interesting debates are
expected. Most important of these will
probably be on the proposition to radically
revise the liturgy and prayer book.
The Rev. DR.. W. r. Huntington brought
the matter forward several years ago and
produced great impression in Episcopalians
generally. Six years ago committee on re-
vision recommended several changes, some of
which became law at Chicago three years
ago. The whole matter was then referred to
a committee of fifteen to report at this con-
vention The report is already in print and
no doubt has been eagerly read by every ear
nest churchman. In general way it may
be said that the changes recommended effect
no vital doctrine, but tend to popularize the
book. The committee has also provided
book of offices for sundry occasions not pro-
vided for in the prayer book, and it is ex-
pected that the convention will authorize the
provisional use of this book.
A hymnal committee was also appointed at

IMPORTANCE OF THIS YEARS TRi-
eNNIAL CONVENTION.

1t Is Practically Their Centennial Reor-
ganization of 1Ts4-s9-Growth of the
Church - Important Issues Before the
Last Two Conventions to BE Settled Now.
In this age of centennials not the least in
teresting is the regular trienniai convention
of the Episcopal church in America, now in
session in New York city, as it convened just
a hundred years from the time when the
church completed its official organization in
America. Not only will it be historically in
teresting, but many questions will be dis
cussed which show the progress of the church
government towards democracy, and their
solution may result in still more radical
changes,

clan he is devoted "Wagnerian," and has
given much time to lecturing on and teach
ing the symbolism and musical significance
of Wagners Ring of the Niebelung." 1t is
said that his profits on these lectures amount
ed to $1,000.
In 1888 Mr.. Carnegie invited him to join
the coaching party, which consisted of Mr..
and Mrs. Blaine and the Misses Blaine, Miss
Dodge (''Gail Hamilton'1 and Mr.. and Mrs.
Carnegie. There could not have been u more
favorable field for young lover who had
any "gon in him. 1t is said that the prellm-
inaries were settled while the young couple
wandered alone over the grounds of Cluny
castle, Mr.. Carnegie's place, and that the
final arrangements were made at Bar Harbor
the past season. Mr.. Blaine was favorably
impressed at the start with the young must
clan.
The sudden death of DR.. Damrosch at the
comparatively early age of so saddened all
lovers of music in the country, as he was
looked upon as a sort of martyr TO his art
He died of overwork. 1t had been his ambi
ton TO see German opera thoroughly natur-
allied and presented in a fitting manner to
the American people, and but few days be-
fore his death, while leading a chorus of 300
singers, he was SO exhausted that he had to
cling to his music stand for support He was
native of Posen, and studied medicine at
Berlin, but meeting by accident the great
Able List, he at once changed his plan of
life and became musician. 1t was he who
brought Nine Materna to New York, for
twenty nights, at 81 900 night and expenses
TO and from the country. His wonderful
success at the Metropolitan is still fresh in
the public memory, and his son appears to
have inherited all his talent and energy.

the last convention, and

posed hymns and a very lively controversy
thereon is in progress But the question of
most intense interest is that of changing the
name of the church, and quite naturally, for
religion is the conservative force of society,
and this is the most conservative of churches,
and so a change of name may mean very
much.
a small but very energetic section of the
church maintains that there is something in
congruous, if not misleading, in the phrase
protestant Episcopal" and that the church
should by its name announce its catholic or
universal character. At the last general con-
vention the resolution for change of name
lacked but few votes of passing the lower
house, and before this convention closes there
will certainly be a debate on the origin and
force of the terms protestant" and ga
tholic," which will be of intense interest.

istrative detail and working methods, that

Margaret Blaine.

Margaret Blaine.
Secretary James G. Blaine has six chill
dren, and it appears that they were nearly all
seized at the same time with the desire to
marry. Emmons has married Miss McCor-
mick, the Chicago heiress; James e., Jr., did
marry the actress, Miss Marie Nevins, and is
as a single man once more, and Miss Margaret
Blaine is soon to marry the musician, Walter
j. Damrosch OF the others, Miss Hattie re-
mains fancy free, as far as reported. another
is the wife of Maj Coppinger, L. S. A., and
Walker is assistant secretary of state. Miss
Harriet is the second daughter, has Travelled
abroad extensively, and made the acquaint-
ance of Mr. Damrosch during the noted Carne-
gle coaching tour, in which both participated.
The Damrosch family is as noted in music
as the Blaines are in politics. The father, DR..
Leopold Damrosch, attained a high reputa-
ton in Europe and endeared himself to many
in New York by his refinement and genius.
His family consisted of Frank director of the
chorus of the Metropolitan opera house and
president of the New York Teachers Musical
association, Walter and three daughters. One
of these is already noted as a pianist. Wal
ter Damrosch was born Jan. 30, 1862, and
showed the family talent at a very early age.
At the age of ID he went OH concert tour
with Wilhelmj, furnishing the piano accom-
paniment.

solved that they were the only true church,
and maintained a regular succession for over
a century And this sort of thing was still
of consequence after the American Revolu-
ton! 1t is like taking one back to ancient
history in a century.
The convention met again in October, 1856,
adopted a constitution and slightly revised
the Book of Common Prayer to make il APP
plicable to the United States They also ar
ranged with the British bishops for a per-
fectly regular and undisputed succession, and
accordingly Bishops William White, for
Pennsylvania, and Samuel Provost, for
New York the same who officiated later at
Washington's inauguration, went over and
were consecrated Feb 1, 1881 On their re
turn the entire Episcopal body was consulted,
and after thorough discussion the reorganiza-
ton on an American basis was completed in
October, 1889 In that year there were in
the United States seven dioceses, bishops,
100 clergymen and about 800 communi-
cants.
The present convention represents fifty
dioceses, fourteen missionary Jurisdictions,
seventy bishops, fourteen missionary bish-
ops and i'll round numbers $500 clergymen
and 10000 communicates 1t is the highest
body in the church, and is organized like the
American congress, in two bodies, each with
the power of originating measures and of
amending or multiplying those of the other.
The house of bishops like the senate, has
secret sessions, but the sessions of the house of
clerical and lay delegates are always open to
public inspection. The latter house consists
of four clergymen and four laymen from
each diocese, and therefore contains some
400 members. The delegates from the mis-
sionary Jurisdictions have seats, but no votes

TIE WEALTH AND POpULA
TION OF TIE SOUTH.

The increase i'll tho wealth OF the
South, has been marvellous since
1880. The Tradesman gives valu-
able table showing the taxable
wealth and population of each State.
The exhibit is compiled from reports
sent This excellent journal, by the
Auditors Of the States named. The
aggregation Of the wealth Of all the
Southern States is S3,6S1, Ti0,945.
1t IS true that The increase in this
wealth for the year just closed is es-
timnted, but it is believed to be cor
rect. Texas stands first in point of
wealth and she is put down as pos
sessing SGG0,000, 900 in taxable prop.
erty. Kentucky is tho second of
these states i'll wealth and is valued
Mt $500 SS.250. The other states
are rated rs follows: Virginia, s394,-
SCI, 200; Georgia. $357, 167, 45S; Ten.
nesser, 1929, 495, 1856; Alabama. $500

1876 the entire wealth Of the south
was S2,257, 537, 46S, and it now ag-
gregates tho enormous sum of So.

of the south in 1850 was 14,l45,673.
it is now 17,0i7,551.
These figures present an interest

marks that they indicate i'll unmis-

of the south in recent years. There

that the growth was not confined to
