The reunion of the two leading Meth
odist bodies In In land Is now likely to be sp"edily accomplished. The Conference oi the Primitive Wesleyans, held In Dub
lin, nas appointed a committe to confer
wun ine committee appointed by the re
cent esleyan Conference in Cork upon the subject of union. This decision was
almost unanimous. The negotiation: commenced two years ago by the Priml
tlve Wesleyans with the established
Church have been broken off for the last twelve months, and it was generally felt
mat. uicir wisest course oi action was to
return to the parent body. The division
took place in the year 116, upon the
question of the administration of the sac
raments.
-At the close of the last Tear the
amount In trust of Mr. PeaUxly's great
Pequest lor the Iteneflt of the poor of Lon
don amounted to 1, 11 1,000, and another
sum of $.i00,00 Is to be added to the principal during the present year. The num1 r of families occupying apartments un
der his bequest is S47, and the number of
jtcrsons benefited by it 3,407. It was stated at the nn-ent meeting of the trustees of the Peabody Kducational Fund, held In New York, that the income of the
fund to le expended In the Southern States for educational purposes during the present year would In; about JliW.OOO. Last year $l'K).Ui0 had been expended by them for free common schools In the .South, thus making nearly $1,000,000 with the amount contributed in connection therewith by the people themselves. Foreign Items. Ojiecn Victoria sent Lady Smith, of Lowestoft, a copy of " Leave from our Journals in the Highlands," In commemoration of her one hundredth birthday. The fly-leaf contains the following in the Ciicen s own handwriting : " To Lady Smith, on her one hundredth birthday, from Victoria II., Balmoral, 173." Lady Smith was able to write her reply to the tiucen. The Duke of Kdinburgh should lie satisfied with what the Knglish Parliament have done In anticipation of his marriage wifhthe 1'ussian princess. Mr. Gladstone said the marriage was cne of affection, and he thought the projier thing would le to vote him $12.),000 a year, nnd $30,000 a year to the princess in case she should survive him. The young people ought certainly to be able to rough It
on that paltry figure. There was a little grumbling on the Part of three or four radicals, who thought It time that sort of thing should stop. But It went through without trouble. The fathers of the Society of Jesus, who were forced by the Jesuit law to leave Germany, have in Part found a new
home In the county ol Lancashire, in Kngland. After they had wandered through France, Belgium and England, the brothers Stapleton places! an estate at their disposal, and the fathers at once established a convent at Dillon Hall. Nearly one hundred German teachers anl students do there as if they were at home. Other colonics of German Jesuits have established themselves at Stonyhurst and at St. Buenos, In North Wale. There Is daily communication w ith Germany.

Muslins, and How they are Made. It Is frequently said that Knglish and
French muslins produced by machinery
rival In fineness of texture and beauty of finish those woven in the East. But It is not true. A native woman with her ling
ers and spindle alone, and a native man
with his toes and bamboo loom alone will spin a thread and finish apiece of muslin which cannot, by the application of deli
cate machinery, be produced ouUide of
India. I here is one qualify of Decca
muslin, for example, which is termed
women air." It Is made only for king's
daughters. So short is the staple of the raw material, and so brittle its fibers, that ft must be spun by a woman under
wcnty-llve, and before the dew has left
the grass In the morning. As a substitute for natural moisture, the evaporation
of water from a shallow pan Is sometimes
used, but the quality of the work in that
case Is inferior. And yet, the most deli
cate and llnest of fabrics, a piece four
ards In lenirth bv one in width, welch
ing less than one ounce avolrdupoise often. Is exceedingly durable, and will wash. Since the disappearance of many of the native rulers in India, this 'evening dew," as it is also called, is not largely made; but as there are those who will pay ten and twelve dollars a yard for It, the art is not likely to lie lost The professional story tellers of the Kast. swaying their bodies to the cadences of their voice, will tell you In rhythmical Hlndostanee of the anger of Anrungzelie with his daughter, liecausc her arms could be seen through the seven Jahmas she had on ; andofth weaver who was banishi-d from Decca tecause his cow, unable from its fineness to sec the piece of Abrovan which was spread upon the herbage, ate up six yards.

Moot of our readers are familiar with
the genial features of the Hon. John C
Shoemaker, the ex-State olficial. the shrewd financier, at preisent proprietor ul
the Sentinel, and onoe widely known on
account of the product of his peach brandy vineyard in South Indiana. Mr.
Shoemaker ought to be a bappy man. He

tion, an elegant residence In an ansto-
cratic ponon of the city, and aJI the comforts of life. But we all have our
troubles, and Mr. Shoemaker's grief came In a way It was least expected. Among
his other jewels he had a handsome and
accomplished daughter named Mary, who
was the loy and pride or her fattier s heart and an ornament to the circle in whh h she moved. There is nothing distressing in this ; on the contrary, quite the reverse. But Mk Mary took it in her head to look with favor on a youth from the rural district, who? real name we do not remember, but who is known among his friends and associate by the unpoetlcal name of "Scrap." Mr.Scrp
dressed creditably, was passably goodlooking, and was not wanting in that aggressive quality which by some is called
dash " or enterprise, and by others
cheek. To the average voung lady there
Mt med to te the making of a good bu-
hand in Scrap, but somehow or other he didn't strike the Hon. John C. favorably.
Perhaps he had picked out another hus
band for Mary perhaps he had not suffi
cient confidence in Scrap' financial standingbut at any rate he turned the frigid
shoulder to the oratie motor, and when
matters tx-gan to look serious, forbade
him the house. This did not settle it.
Scrap's enterprise? had tcen aroused, and he was determined to marry Mis hoemaker. Miss Shoemaker's feminine ierver-
sity had U-en aroused, and Iter love for Scrap glowed with tenlold fury. A perfidious African domestic consente-d to act
as a go-between, and a regular correspondence was maintained. Finally, Scrap determined to bring matter to an issue, and
arrayed in his best, he made a formal call on the Hon. John C, and was wafted out of that gentleman's office on the toe of a No. 7 boot. Scrap had only called on th Governor as a matter of form. The wedding had been appointed anyhow, and he simply thought it would tie courtey to ask Ike father to witness thccereinony. So. aft-r being kicked out of Mr. Shot maker's office, he furbished up his cheek and went straightway to the Shor maker mansion, to report progress and consult After fuming a ltttle, as soon s the kicking was over, Mr. Slim maker !- thought him of Scrap's cheek, and thnnght It would te Jut like h'.m to go to the house. Mr. Shoemaker ii rove his hat hard down over his eyes. si7.d his staff and started home. ure nough. there he was the imps, lent S-rap sitting intlie parlor with the weeping Mary by his sid and recounting the in-lisnities to which he had been subjected. The Hon. John C. burt like a thuncV cloud on the conference, and, diving into an adjoining room, sion emerged with a revolver on full cock in his hand. Mary screamed and threw her fair, white ann aUut his neck, and besought him not to shoot, and Scrap, with quiet dignity, backed out and withdrew. Mary was put under strict surveillance. she was not allowed to go anywhere without some trustworthy memo r of the family to act as a "Fhcep dog." and was compelled to sleen every night In hi r mother's room. The lion. John, having a wholsomc respect for S 'n.p's cheek, deiii".d it
advisable to put a detective on his track to note his movements and report if anything serious was contemplated. Bat all this time the lctter-am-r was ensnsptcted, and the httle whiu-i3ged me-K-ngvri flew bi and forth between the? sundered couple, conveying assurances of undying love, and hope .f an arly coosum'uiaiion cf tht Ir f jnd-t mibe. A scheme for an elo;m-nt Monday night was perfect! d. but l-y some unaocountab'.e treachery the Hr.. John got wind of it and a f nabled to frustrat it. On Tueday, however. Miss Mary managed to pack a large Saratoga trunk with two or three thousand dtsliarV worth of nothing t t ar," and had it secretly conveyed a Si.A- p!aoe. where it could t? found wlen wai.u-d. The Hon. John, however, was not id.
