THE Methodist GenerAl Confer ence is now in session at Sr. Louis, and the Southern Baptist Conven tion is in session at Foit Worth Texas. Oa the tenth of May in the General Conference lhe committee on Itineracy reported adversely on a memorial to change the Discipline so that travelling preachers might be ordained after two rears prooa tion, instead of three years as at present. The report was adopted. Oa the same day in the Southern Baptist Convention sixteen thous and dollars were raised to swell the endowment fund of the Sa'hcrn Baptist Tbeologiea! Seminary at Louisville. The debates in the House ou the McKinley tariff bill for Monopoly will be very short by reosoo of the Radical attempt to stifle debate.

Mr. Mills made an elaborate tpeech In exposure of the defects of the bill. We havethought that tho best thing the Democrats could do would be to allow the bill to pass without debate. We think its adoption would guarantee the success of the Democrats in 1S92 An exposure of its enormous defects ' may indace some Republicans in the House to take water and either refuse to role or oppose its passage.

Chairman McKinley says that although tbe increased duties on oats, peas, beans, buckwheat and other agricultural prodacts will do the farmer no good they will do him no harm. But what the farmer wants is a substantial reduction of the actual taxes on what he con sumes, and not an increase of illus ory duties on prodacts of which he has a sarplus for export. Philadel phia Record. After a thrilling discussion of worsted and woollens, the Senate on Thursday passed the Worsted bill, Mr. Payne of Ohio voting with the Republicans. It was agreed to consider the Silver bill next Mon day, and stick to if. The Pension Appropriation bill was taken op and discussed until there was no quorum. The House talked tariff. The Hon. Julius Ctesar Burrows, better known as the Cai'"n nt naiamaioo, spoke his tariff speech, and is said to feel . better. Ex. A Picayune special from Shreve- port says: The river, still rising, is now seven inches above 1884 water mark. The steamer New Haven, from Gar lake, arrived here yester day. The country from Fulton down is flooded. The situation is distressing. Thousands of cattle aud hogs are drowned, fortunately no- loss of life. The damage to property is immense. The timely assistance rendered by the New Haven saved many families driven from their home, standing in three aud four feet water. Tuebe is to bo a short debate on the Tariff, and the programme is to rush it through and have it in oper ation by Jaly 1st. But after pass ing the House it will have to run the gauntlet of the Senate, and if Mr. Allison doesn't hack down from his position many amendments will be tacked on it. There is really no need for discussion of the bill. It has been gotten up for special interests, and that can and will be established by Mr. Mills, Mr. Carlisle aDd Mr, Wilson iu the two days allotted to the Democrat.

With the great expansion of banking, with the establishment of banks at every available point, the aggregate amoant of deposits throughout the country has become immense. In like manner the ag gregate amoant of loans made by tbe banks is enormous, while the amount ot cash retained by the banks to pay the chocks of the de positors is largely increased. While there is only l, 400,000,000 of cur rency in this country, the 3.3S.3 National Banks had lent out as loans on March 1st 1.844,000,000, and there was due to depositors l,470.9S6,037. If we consider the State banks, the private banks, the trust companies and the savings banks, we may almost double these figures. And yet the national banks had on hand to pay these depositors only about 8300,000,000. News Observer. " " TA&XANY. Republican4; and Mugwumps are predicting the overthrow of Tarn many. I Recent events have been dis honoring to Tammany and mortily ing to its friends, hat it should be bterved that tbe overthrow of the ' Grant Ring" is the work ot Tammany itself. It requires no little fortitude to Mibmit to the painful operation of a sk ilful surgeon, and when a maD takes a knife and cuts his own flesh to remove a festering ulcer he displays genuine heroism. Again and again Tammany has cut off her right arm to prevent putrifaction of her whole body, and with the infection removed has grown stronger than before. So it will be again. The New York Star well says men 100 conceited and too ignorant of grand politics to realize when tbe time had come for them to step down and oat. Ra' with vigorous and courageous notion by the masses of Tammany Hall there will open a new future of useful ness through regeneration." as wun j.ammaD eu 11 is with all ornanizations. Combinations for personal ends will be made wherever the loaves and fishes are to bo distributed. Sometimes the better elements combine for patri otic purposes, and then again, the combination embraces the worst elements and has for its object robbery and plunder. In all organ izations the healing elixir is within themselves, and if saved at all in the day of trial, they musf be saved throngh their own virtues. Every community has withiu itsel f discordant elements that must be held in check through its own energies. The law is the con servator of public affairs. That community that pays obeisance to law and lives in accordance with its behests will prosper under the benign influences of conservatism, moderation and order. The best system of government avails nothing without competeut and just administration. The American Constitution, that greatest production of uainspued wisdom, cannot be productive of good unless the government Is ad ministered in accordance with its letter and spirit. TIIE FORUM EXTRA. The Forum Extra for May con tains two admirable articles, "The Tariff and the Farmer," by ex Speaker J. G. Carlisle, and "How the Tariff Affects Industry." by Hon. W. .G. F; .Breckinridge. The names of Carlisle and Brftrk. inridge give assurance that these papers present able expositions of the positions held by tbe Demo cratic party on the subject dis cussed. Mr. Carlisle lifts the mask from the present tariff and exposes its features in all their hideousness He does not stop there. He shows the influence of Republican legisla tion on the agricultnral interests of the country. Seasons have impor tanC influences npon farmers and farm products, bnt Mr. Carlisle shows that no favoring rain and propitious sunshine can bring pros perity to the farmer bo long as he is maie the hewer of wood and drawer of water of protected capi talists. The farmer is the native born heir of freedom, and he dis dains the serfdom imposed upon him in the name of protection ! Mr. Breckinridge meets the pretense that the tariff is in the interest of labor, and shows how it is that the arm of industry is shackled by it. The specious argu ments of Republicans are met, and the position of the Democracy tri umphantly vindicated. We commend the Forum Extra, of play, and ask for it a wide circula tion. The educational prooess is going on, and no better text book can be used by our teachers of po litical economy. Col. WADDELL'8 book, "A Colonial Officer and his Times," is highly commended by the State press. We have not seen it but we know that anything from A. M. WaddelPs pen must be good. "The book is published by Edwards & Broughton, Raleigh, in a style that would reflect credit upon any pub lishing house in the country." Congbessman Ewaet made a speech in Ashevilla last week in which he characterized some Demo crat who had been writing about him as a "second-class liar." A second class liar would probably fill the bill for a second-class man. Perhaps Ewart thinks all the first class liars belong to the Republican party, and he is about right. Wil mington Star.

Omaha Re publican. AX.L medic! authorities agree that catarrh ia no more nor less than an in flammation of the lining membrane of the nasal air pauaees. Nasal catarih and all catarrhal affections of the head are not diseases of the blood, and it is a serious mistake to treat them as such. No conscientious physician ever at tempts to do so. It is held by eminent medical men that sooner or later a eps cifio will be found for every disease from which humanity suffers. The facta justify ns in assuming that for catarrh at least a positive cure already exists in Ely's Cream Balm. Th IIcv.

"The time has come for the church to make its influence felt in the political world. We have sepa rated church and State ; so far have we separated them, that we have practically left tbe State in the hands of the devil. Senator Iiigalls who recently dated his letters from the Vice-President's chamber, gave utterance lately to the following remarkable deliverance : The decalogue and tbe lioldm lule have no place in a politict-.l campa'gn. Tbeir object is succes'S. This modern cant about corrpiioa of politics is fatiguing iu the extreme.

This nation was founded on the Decalogue ami the Ten Com j mandmeuts. The nieu who landed j at Ply mouth Rock landed on their j knees.

The man who has outgrown the Deca logue and the' Golden Rule has outgrown ins u i',ful n ess in this nation. "The party that repudiates them had better prepare for the funeral ceremonies. In the name ol the living God of heaven and earth, I say to Mr. lugalls that God's truth and righteousness must and will prevail. The righteous indigna tion of a long suffering people is now being aroused from sea to sea. In some States the cloud is no bigger than a man's hand ; but the prophet of old made haste, when he saw such a cloud, and the rain burst into torrents before they could descend the mountain side The flood is sorely coming and when it does burst it will sweep Mr. Ingalls and all tho men who be lieve as he believes, with the host of small fry politicians who have strutted before this long suffering nation into merited oblivion. "The rami r'oiy drawing nigh wnen it will be impossible for men, who hold such views as the distinguished Senator has pro claimed, to live in American poli tics. The time is rapidly approach ing when men of impure and vile lives cannot float their dirty rags on the flag pole of the city hall of New York. The time is coming when truth and righteousness will prevail, and pothouse politicians had as well take notice of the com ing revolutions ! "The church has a work here to do ; its power must be felt, Chris tian manhood can no longer endure the stench that arises from the cesspool of poliiical life.'' Polloksville Items. Mr. Ohas.

It is a most complete arrangement. Mr. John Pearce also has a fine mill in good fix. Tho two mills together grind as much as l.'.n bushels or corn some days. Labor may be a burden, yet honor and a glory. an A i!ti,a tiro. A man who has always been active always doing something in the way of business cannot with draw entirely from active pursuits wfThont permanent injury. En forced idleness becomes irksome, and he is unable to enjoy himself. He constantly longs for tho bustle and routine of business, his mind lacks occupation, and he simply rusts from the inactivity unusual to an energetic man. In other words, although aware that bis ! system needs rest, his active mind will not permit him to rest. He finds he has adhered so olost-lv to business that it is difficult to wean himself from it. Instead of deiiv iDg physical benefit from relaxa tion, it is a positive injury to him, because of bis natural indisposition to ret. He cannot throw aside his business habits; ho must have something to do. Ie learns that he should have accustomed himself to little periods of recreation all through life, and not postponed his holiday until he has lost the capa city to enjoy it. Every sensible man, who has the meaus and opportunity, recuperates himself by frequent pauses for re creation. lie docs not defer his ' period of pleasure until the cloM.ig 1 months of a worn out life. He is too wise to expect impossibilities of nature the recuperation of an utterly exhausted body. He lias hatl his comfort and enjoyment in due season, and is grateful to Heaven fiat he possesses the means to procure all the comforts ot life, which he wisely uses to pro long his existence. Demorcst's Magazine. Last month we visited Washing ton through the pages of Dcmo rest's Family Magizine, ami enjoyed the very interesting views of the exterior ol the White House aud its surroundings. This month, in tho June number of this popular Magazine (which has just arrived), we enter the Executive Mansion, and are treated to a ramble i hrough its corridors, its executive and private apartments. We thus participate in the special favor short n to Demorest's .Magazine, as we are introduced to many features not usually seen by the general public. The White House has never before been to lully and beautifully illustrated; and the numerous handsome pictures which the article contains, includ ing portraits ot "Baby McKee," Mrs. Harrison, and the four gent ra tions now residing in the White House, make it especially interest ing to every American father, mother, and cbild. This number also contains a picture of four of "mother's dailings" "Out for an Airing,"' which is a superb water color, equal in design and execc tiou to those selling at a high price at the art store?; "Athletics lor Women"' is also fiuely illustrated; and ' The Lady Tramp" will l o doubt start many of "Our Girls ' off on that healthful exercise, for it tells them j ust what to do aud what to wear when doing it.

If the prayer t f Burns were granted and we could all see ourselves as others see us, our self estimates would in all probability be much more erroneous than they are now. The truth is that we regard each other throngh a variety of lenses, no one of which is correct. Passion and prejudice, love and hate, benevolence and envy spectacle our ees and utterly prevent ns from observing accurate ly. Many whom we deem the porcelain of human clay are mere pot metal, and still greater number of those we put down in cur "black books'' are no further off fiom heaven, and perchance a little nearer, than the censors who con demn them. We habitually under value or overvalue each other; and in estimating character, the shrew dest of us only now and then make true appraisal ot the virtues and defects of even our closest inti mates. If we all saw ourselves rs the world sees us, multitudes would despise themselves without suffi cient cause, and not a few be puffed up with pride for which there wonld be no honest foundation. It is not just or fair to look at character from a standpoint of one's own selection. A man's profile may be unprepossessing, and yet his full face agreeable. We onee saw a young man, wnose timuity was a standing joke with his com paniocs, leap into the Hudson and save a boy from drowningwhile hi tormentors stood panicstricken on the bank. The merchant who give curt answers in his counting-room may be a tender husband and lath er and a kind helper of the deiolate and oppressed. On the other hand, your good humored person, who it all smiles and sunshine in pubic, may carry something as hard as the nctber millstone in the place where his heart ought to be. Such anoiM ! ,-s a e common. There i this iiitorf. howi-ver, for those whose l-j ailgm e n r of their fellow mortals leant to the kindly side snch mistakes go to their credit in the great account. He who thinks better of his neighbors than they deserve is seldom a bad man, for the standard by which his judment is guided is the goodness of his own heart. It is only the base who believe all men base or, in other words, like themselves. Few, however, are all evil. Dangerous Face Paints There are dangerous cosmetics in the market which aie frequently used by the unwary or ignorant.

Drake's Maga- I zinc, i A good word is easy obligation; but not to speak il1, requires only our silence, which costs us nothing, Ti.e SpHjiiLlt or ins ospei. A minister of Christ one day pre pared a sermon on 'Uhe deep things of God." It was a review of Chris tian doctrines, beginning with the truth of the Scriptures and going on through the course of Divine revelation, till it reached the groat facts of the coming of the Lord and the judgment of the great day. The preacher was thinking ot the skepticism, and worldliness, and rationalism which were creeping in, and the progress of which he hoped by this testimony to arrest. The sole occupant ot the pastor's pew that morning was his little ten year old daughter her mother being unable to attend. The min ister had no thought that any child would be interested in this sermon, which he thought was adapted to older and wiser heads. But that evening as the mother tucked her little child in her cozy bed and was about to leave her for the night, the little voice spoke up brave and strong : "Stop, mamma, I have something to tell you." "What is it, dear T" "I am a Christian." "When did you become a Chris tian T' "Today." 'iTcll me how it came about." "Well, papa's sermon this morn ing showed me tho way, and coin ing home I thought it ail over, and I said to myself I would be a Chris ;tian ; I was totally changed.'' Some five or six moaths of test, 'ting found her in the same faith and purpose, when she was bap tized, and still remains steadfast in the faith. There are many persons no doubt j v. ho desire to be Christians, but w ho need to be shown the way ; and the "deep things of God" and the plain, simple, solid facts of Diviue revelation, which are too wise for the worldly, and which are counted foslishness among both Ijes and Greeks, are still the ! power of God and the wisdom of God to everyone that believeth.

It's all a Myiww ' Give Water to Infants. A distinguished children's doc tor believes, from his practice, that infanta generally, whether brought up at the breast or artificially, are not supplied with sufficient water, the fluid portion of their food being quickly taken up and leaving the solid too thick to be easily digested. In warm, dry weather, healthy babies will take water every hour with advantage, and their frequent fretlnlness and rise of temperature are often directly due to their not having it. A free supply of water and restricting the frequency of nursing have been found at the nursery to be a most effectual check in cases of incipient fever, a diminished rate of mortality and marked reduction in the number of gastric and intestinal complaints being attributed to this cause. In teeth cutting, water soothes the gums, and frequently stops the fretting and restlessness universal in children at this period. Heart Loneliness. Who does not know what this means! Who does not know what it is to have sorrows, desires, dis appointments, longings after deeper love and sympathy, that even tbe nearest and dearest of our earthly loved ones can never fathom. Ob! if we only could realize tbe intense love that the Lord Jesus is waiting and longing to pour into our hearts, these lonely times would fade away and be lost in the sunshine of His everlasting love. It is because Ho wants all our love, that He so often lets us .be disappointed with human affection, and allows our heaits to sadden under the feeling that after all the deep love which we are pouring out to others, and are so hungering for in return, is not given. We are loved, wo arc cared for, praise God for i':.btit .- till not with that intensi ty ami strength which u'e feel alone Citi satisfy our heart longings. Is there such a lonely heart read ing these lines! Dear friend, the Lord Jesus exactly knows and un derstands those longings. He loves with a height and depth which far surpasses the very tenderest human love; and it is just because He wants all heart, that He seems sometimes to leave us unsatisfied. His love.is 60 full, so past all under standing, and He calls you thus aside that He may pour it out upon you. Other natures, with less depth of feeling, He can trust, perhaps, with the fullness of human love, for which you so often yearn. But oh! what horor He is giving you, in thus drawing you apart into lonely places, that there He may seal you "His own," and give you the as surance that you are "His beloved." The poet Keble, in his "Christian Year," expresses this very sweetly, when he sa s: "Thou art tby Savior's darling- seek no more." Oh dear ones, who possess these strong elfections that so few can understand, do let us leave off straining after the love of earth- do let us take our heart lonelineness to Jesus to be satisfied, and let Him fill every empty place. Then our lives will be so radiantly beautiful, and so aboudautly satisfied; for He will Himself show us how He can indeed be "all in all" to His loneli! ones.

The Obedient Elephant. In some countries in Asia an ele phant is made to carry the flag in battles, writes Jennie S. Judson in Our Little Ones. This is because the elephant is so tall, and the soldiers can easily see the Hag fly iag from his back. One of these elephants, which belonged to the Pooua host, was very brave and very kind, but he would obey the order of no one except his mahout, or driver. One time, while a very fierce fight was raging, the driver called out to him: "Stand, my brave beast, stand !" A moment later the mahout received a fatal wound and fell to the ground, where he lay beneath a piio of wouuueu anu siain. The obedient animal would not move, though the battle raged nercely around him. The Poona soldiers, who feared (hey witJre be ing overcome, were cheered on by the sight of the flag still floating from the elephant's back. He never stirred a foot, and all through tbe hot fight, the noise the smoke, the confusion, listened patiently for the voice of his mas ter. Sharp spears were hurled at him a score of javelins pierced his sides his long ears dripped with blood but he stood like a rock. "Come forward, my men," cried the Poona captain: "our flag still floats and tbe battle will yet be ours." His men, discouraged and ready to fly, rallied at this command, and with a cheer for the flag pressed torward. In a short time they won the victory and put the enemy to fright. And then they gathered around the brave elephant, offering to lead him where he could be fed and cared for. But, though wounded and worn, the obedient creature would not move nntil he heard his master's voice. That master could never speak again. A rider was sent in great it iste to a place fifty miles away, where lived the drivei's little t-ou whom the elephant knew and loved. When the little boy was brought to the battle ground the elephant showed very plainly that he was glad to see him and permitted the child to lead him away. The marvelous feats th tt steam aod electricity are producing aie wonderful.

Oa auother short route from Philadelphia to Jersey City, a run of ninety miles was made in eighty five minutes The wonders of the phonograph were ably illustrated by a trans mission ot a speech delivered by Governor Brackett of Massachu eetts to a meeting in New York. Finding it impossible to be present in person, he spoke his speech into a phonograph in Boston, and it was successfully delivered by the chairman of the meeting at Cooper's Union in New York. Public men are seldom or never fairly judged at least while living. However pure, they cannot escape calumny. However corrupt, they are sure to find eulogists. History may do them justice; but they rarely get it while alive, either from friends or foes. . A Valuabl Remedy. A letter from S. P.

Then, calling back his child he whispered in his eai: "'Listen my child since assurance now is as good as a. permission, when the time comes I will take you with me to the Aurtumn Fair at Hamburg." Exulting for joy, the lad left tbe room. It came to bim by anticipa tion as though he were already on tbe way to Hamburg. For a long time after beard him singing in his Bleeping chamber. And again tbe father said, addressing bis friend, ''That is called faith, doctor. In this boy is planted tbe germ of faith in man. May he yield himself to his Heavenly Father with like humility and love, with like obedience and trust, and bis faith will be as com plete as the faith of Abraham, the father of believing onebl" The doctor was clearly answered. Af ter a moment of silence he said: "Now I know more of faith than I bad learned from many preachers." Cbnrch News. AUTOMATIC SEWING MAOH INK! Prices reduced.
