to Conference.

j. G. Porter of Denner and

were elected by the electoral col
lege of the A. M. f.. church at a
meeting held in this city yesterday

opinion that the laity of the church
will urge the claims of Professor
jackson for the editorship of the
Christian Recorder, the official
organ of that church, published in
Philadelphia.
BY its thorough system of or
ganization, the A. M. e. church

potent moral and intellectual in
fluence among all organizations OF
the colored people.-Colorado

All trees display constantly and
broadly their nature and the marks of
the class to which they belong. The
oak, elm, willow, birch. beech, together
with poplar, chestnut and pine, are
among our native born trees, and those
most familiar to us as the ancient land
marks remembered so well in child
hood-the mulberry, olive, lex, hem
lock, spruce, apple, pear and cherry
trees go to make up the almost sacred
circle of friends so dear to us because
they are monuments of other and hap
pier days.
The homestead and its associations
recall all the dear old trees SO fondly
cherished in days '1ang syne' and so
dear to me now that it is pleasant to
write what I know of their history,
utility and why they are valuable as
lumber or the more valuable mechan-
ical need which they meet. They all
afford the human race a certain amount
of reliable service and are the founda-
ton of many industries. They furnish
the ships that cover the ocean with
white sails and afford easy commu-
nication with all nations. The arts
and sciences depend upon them for
substantial aid in completing palaces
and churches and all the grand and
lasting buildings which have dotted
the earth with beautiful cities and
comfortable dwelling places for man.
And thus we find that the trees are

reached.
The sign of subtraction was derived
from the word minus" The word was
first contracted in m. II. s. with a hori-
zontal line above to indicate that some
Of the letters had been left out. At last
the letters were omitted altogether,
leaving only the short line.
The multiplication sign was obtained
by changing the plus sign into the fet-

Glove. For French soldiers.


For economical reasons the French
minister of war has suppressed the
item OF gloves for the Fre4chE(army.
The Introduction OF gloves into the
army is attributed to the kindness Of
heart OF Queen Amelie, wife of. Louis
Philippe, the last Of the French kings.
One day in midwinter when the sen
tinel presented arms at the approach
of the queen the latter noticed that the
hands or the soldier were red. chapped
and broken out with chilblains. The
kind hearted woman was not slow to
report this fact to the king, and the
minister Of war issued the necessary
orders for supplying the troops with
gloves, once more proving that the
wishes Of a woman are sacred, and
more particularly so when the woman
in question is n queen. a
