dists have their proper place for him,
but to the boys of Indiana, forty years
ago, he is still the loved president of AS
bury Ode Pauw) university, and to the
soldiers he is still the friend and sup
porter of Abraham Lincoln. Peter Cart
wright was already SO much veteran
in 1850 that it was accounted privilege
to see and hear him, yet he lived till 1872,
dying at eighty-seven. OF the elders
and revivalists who made western camp
meetings lively in 1850 and Whereabouts
there was not one.
To the western man of the early days,
however, there was q suggestion of the
humorous in seeing iii the list of dele
gates such names as Will Cnmback,
Amos Shinkle, John W. Ray. j. G. Rid
path and Newiand De PAW. Their
presence, however,. was living proof
that since 1868 lay representation had
bectsle Il very much accomplished fact.
And it was calculated to raise smile in
the same observer to hear on the very
first day a notice Of protest read against
the admission rs delegates of amanda
G. Ripney of Kansas, Mary c.. N.,nd Of
Minnesota, Angie F. Newman Of Ne
braska, Lizzio d. Van Kirk of Pennsyl-
vania and Frances e. Willard of Illinois.

passed away; but Bishop Thomas Bow
man, in tho fiftieth year of his work as
minister and sixteen years bishop,
called the conference to order. When
the reports were read. the observer was
again reminded of the fallibility of the
prophets of twenty years before. For
some time after the close Of the war pre-.
dictions we.-e abundant that general
delnoralizatlca would ensue, aud for

ter was fred on had there been time
OF such intense excitement, particularly
in the west, as the first three weeks Of
May, 1858. First there was the i'm
parchment trial of President John
son, which shook the very founda-
tons of society. Churches were d.
vided, old friendships were sundered.
business partnerships were broken, and
in some sections there were defiant
threats of civil war. Such old and tried
and true Unionists as Fessenden of
Maine, Trumbull of Illinois and
Grimes of Iowa were denounced as
three shades blacker than Benedict
Arnold and a little meaner than Judas,
while the comparatively obscure Ross
Of Kansas was openly threatened with
violence, and advised to follow the ex-
ample of his predecessor and put a pistol
to his head. If any reader thinks ex-
aggerate, let him glance at the New
York Tribune Of those days. Its ed
itorials now read as if they were dictated
in a madhouse.
AT the same time local conventions
were being held to select delegates to
the national Republican convention. 1t
went without discussion that Grant was
to be named for president, SO all the
heat and fury of the contest ragged
around the vice presidency. Grant be-
ing credited to Illinois, the east very
naturally claimed the second place on
the ticket, but the central west had set
its heart on Schuyler Colfax, and in the
range of my movements at that time in
Indiana bare suggestion Of any other
candidate was resented as sort of local
treason. In short, l am sure do not
exaggerate in saying that the very air
of our section was overcharged with
superheated political ozone.
And in the midst Of all this excite
ment a grave body Of Methodist elders
met in Chicago, and undisturbed by the
fierce party warfare raging all around
them, discussed and arranged the affairs
of the church with an eloquence and
ability which then aroused my enthusi-
asm and now demands my profound ad-
miration and respect.
How different was the situation in
1888. The country had learned to take
its politics, temporarily. Slavery was
a sort Of historic nightmare; recon
struction fever, bearing much the
same relation to national life as the
diseases Of childhood do to the life
Of a vigorous man. The age of high
heroics and flaming oratory about the
war, the flag and the eagle" had passed;
the age of the calculator and political
economist had come. The most exciting
issue Of the day turned on a difference
of few cents in the tariff. But sin
and misery remained as ever appalling
facts, moral accountability and retribu-
ton were as real as ever to the Metho-
dists of 1888, and while they discussed
methods Of work and the civil polity Of
the church the curious spectator could
not but contrast the two conferences
twenty years apart
It was apparent at a glance that the
veterans of 1s50-70 were gone. The
eloquent tones of Bishop Simpson, heard
for almost exactly fifty years in the
Methodist pulpit, were silenced for this
world in 1884, soon after he closed the
conference of that year. The Metho-

any idea of the feeling-a compound of
awe and affection, curiosity and rever-
ence-with which l looked on that re-
markable body of men.
A boy reared in the church and accus-
toned from infancy to look on John and
Charles Wesley as inferior only to st.
Paul and st. John, and to regard Bishop
Simpson as the model Of piety, patriot
ism and eloquence, does not outgrow his
impressions in the first seven years of
manhood. 1t SO happened that my en-
trance on the rights of manhood was
contemporary with the beginning of the
civil war, and so the events of the next
few years had raised my feelings to-
ward Bishop Simpson to degree near
akin to personal idolatry. Even now
smile and blush alternately when l re-
member how | walked many miles to
Evansville to hear him lecture, and vet
feel bound to assert that in the sub
sequent twenty-seven years l have not
that Raid me better.
Twenty years after my first view Of
one it was my privilege to listen to the
proceedings of another Methodist quad
renniai conference, in New York city
this time; and now it is the deliberate
judgment of the man that the enthusi-
asn Of the boy of 1S55-65 was not over
strained, for verify there were moral
giants in the west in those days. have
heard many great orators, but l have
yet to hear the man who could stir the
hearts of the common people more than
old Richard Hargrave. I have listened
to logical and scholarly expositions of
the Gospel, but for plain and practical
setting forth of the whole duty of man
have heard none to exceed that of Elder
Aaron Wood, Of the Northwest Indiana
conference. The active service of the "a
nous Peter Cartwright and j. B. Finley
was over, but the flavor of their good
works still fingered among us, and the
announcement that either of them
would be present, health and strength
permitting, at a future meeting was
sufficient to rouse a fierce enthusiasm
among our elders.
To one who had been all that time
out of the current it seemed an odd and
slightly amusing fact that while in
1868 lay representation was the great
issue. in 1883 woman representation led
all other topics; albeit, the former was
much farther advanced in 1868 than the
latter in 1883, or in 1892 for that mat
ter. And while listened to the scbol
arly and conservative remarks of Dr..
j. M. Buckley saw that this contrast
was fair index of the progress Of the
United States in the last thirty yaars.
In 1850 and somewhat later voting was
universally regarded as a privilege; in
1888 as a right. Then the advocate had
TO show cause; now the burden Of proof
is on the opposition. Nevertheless the
church, at q greater interval, has fol
lowed exactly the same line as the body
polite. Delegates rights have been rap
idly extended till all adult males are eligi-

layman's eye can see. it has stopped for
very long time, if not foreyoy 1t

1t Furnished Saltpeter to the Confeder-
ates-Recent Explorations.
Especial Correspondence
HARTMAN. Tenn, May 5.-Not since
the war have we heard of Cudjoe's
cave until recently. And yet this
famous underground wonder was an
important factor in enabling the Con-
federates to continue doing battle so
long as they did.
1t was from this cave that they OBJ
tanned the saltpeter used in making pow
der for the army. Cudjoes cave is not
far from Grassy Cove, in Cumberland
county, Tenn, and in one of the rough
est and most out of the way localities
imaginable
During the years that have elapsed
since the last shot was fired Cudjoe's
cave has not until very recently been
visited. Attempts were made frequent
ly to organize exploring parties to go
down into the depths of it, but they all
fell through. until few weeks ago
half dozen daring fellows undertook
the task.
They found portions Of the old hop
pefs used during the war and other
relics of the uses to which the cavern
had been put thirty years ago. One
man brought to the surface wooden
shovel that had been used to shovel the
saltpeter into the hoppers.
The cave proved to be much more ex-
tensive than had been supposed. At one
point the party let lantern down into
an abyss fifty feet, and were enabled to
see rooms beneath them. Another place
they were unable to fathom, not having
line enough to let their lantern down to
the bottom-if there is any bottom to the
place.
1t was the opinion of some of the gen
tlemen in the party that this was an out
let leading to Sequatchie creek, which
emerges from the mountain at the head
of the valley. a narrow passage through
which the party ventured brought them
into large circular room, thought to
be fully 100 feet in diameter, and hav-
ing high. arched ceiling.
The acoustic properties of this room
are simply marvellous, whisper being
distinctly heard at the most remote
point from the speaker. Hundreds of
carloads of bat glano WAS found in the
cave, and myriads of bats were fitting
about. Cudjoe's cave will probably be-
come noted place Of resort in a short
time. j. W. BR1DwEI1.

IT'S A PRESBYTERIAN MONTH.

In May Calvin Died, Patriots Defled
England and the Assembly Meets.
The 104th general assembly of the
Presbyterian church in the United States
will convene in Portland, Or, on the
10Th instant. It will be the first evee
held west of the Rocky mountains, and
by an interesting coincidence will begin
its sessions exactly 115 years to day
after the meeting of that famous body
of Presbyterians and patriots who IL
sued the Mecklenburg declaration of in
dependence at Charlotte, N. c., on the
31st of May, 1875, or thirteen months
before that issued by the Continental
congress in Philadelphia.
The words "Presbyterians and patr1-
OTIS" may excite surprise and provoke
