LAY DELEGATION. . | + A revolution has been going forward for half a century in the Methodist ‘Episcopal Church, seeking the introduction of the laity in the councils of the ¢hurch. Hitherto the entire legislation of the church has been done by the clergy. The agitation has been at times violent, and has led to several schisms, but the last and crowning effort has been a steady and persistent work for fourteen yedrs, and the success. which has, attended in this instance, quiet and _persevering effort, shows plainly that the better way to correct an evil is by a wise application of power and influence inside of an organization, At the last general conference of the church, it was voted that should the membership of the church, in June, 1869, vote in. favor of a change, that then the several annual iconferences should be called on to vote for a change of that portion of the constitution called the “Restrictive Rules,” and the requisite three-fourth’s vote being cast by them that then delegates from among the laity should have seats in the general conferer?ce of 18 : S

Seventy-one conferences have voted, caating 4907 votes in favor, and 1589 against, leaving a majority of 3318 votes in favor of the measure. The conference of Germany and Switzerland have yet to vote. It contains aboyt 45 ministers. Not over 35 prob:ably will be in. attendance at its coming session in June, and it would be & moral impossibility that a vote would now be cast by it that would defeat'the measure. But three conferences of the entire number have given a majority against. They are; Troy, Black River and Liberia. .

Doubtless now that the practical sense of the laymen shall be introduced, some of the peculiarities of the church will be pruned off in the near and coming future. ’ )

e et A —— The Fenlans. For a few days past the Fenian organization throughout the Northern States, has exhibited unmistakable gigns of activity. * Considerable bodies ‘'of men have been moving toward the Canada frontier, and it seems probable' that a raid into the Dominion is seriously contemplated. - Dispatches from New York, dated May 24th, states-that two strong Fenian movements are being made simultaneously, one toward the Red river country, and the other toward the Domiunion. Gen: Spear is in command of the men on the Canadian border, just now, but the precise location of 'Neil is kept a secret. The Feniang are in the greatest excitement, declaring that before the end of the week Canada will be invaded by at least 50,000 armed members of the Brotherhood, and that this time they will certainly capture the Dominion. The general feeling of the public is that this new Fenian movement will amount to nothing, and that in a few days the sensation will subside, as all others have done. el & W—ee Dialogue on Newspapers. ; “How does it happen, neighbor 8., that your children have so much greate progress in learning and knowledge of the world than mine?

JIM SMILEY'S FROG. ‘ Mark 'lfwaln’s Masterpiece. ° { He cotched a frog one day and took - him home, and said he cal’lated to ed‘ucate him ; and said he never done ' nothing for three months but'sit in his i back yard and learn the frog how!to ' jump. And you bet he did learn him ! too. He give him a little punch be|'hind, and the next minute you'd . see i that frog whirling in the air like a | doughnut—see him turn -a summersett, -and 'may be a couple, if he got a good start, and come down flatfooted and all right like a cat. He got him up so | in the matter of catehing flies, and | kept him in practice o constant, that ' he’d nail a fly every time as far a he i could see him. PEoo

Smiley said that all the frog wanted was education, and he could do almost anything, and I believed him. -Why, I've seen him set Daniel Webster down here on the floor—Daniel Webster was the name of the frog—and sing out : “Flies, Dan’l, flies,”” and quicker’n you could wink he’d spring ap and shake a fly off'n the counter there and flop down on the floor again as solid as a gob of mud, and fall to scratching the gide of his head with his hind foot as indifferent as if he hadn’t no idea he’d done any more’n any frog might do. You never seed a frog 80 modest and straightfor’d as he was, for all he was so gifted. ~And when it come to a square jumping. on a dead level, he could' get over more ground at one straddle than any animal of his breed you ever see. Jumping on a dead level was his strong suit, you understand, and when it cams to that Smiley would ‘ante up money to him as long a 8 he had a reg. Smiley was monstrous proud of his frog, and well he might be, for fellers that had traveled and been everywhere all said that he had laid over every frog that they had seed. ; Well, Smiley kept the beast in a little lattice box, and he used to fetch it down town sometimes, and lay for a bet. Ounce a feller—a stranger in camp, he was—came across him with his box, and says: ' “What might it be you've got in the box ??

“It might be a parrot, or it might be a canary, maybe; but it ain’t, it’s only just a frog,” said Smiley. = And the feller took it and looked at it careful, and turned it around this way and that, and says : “Him—so ‘tis. Well, what’s .'he good for 1’ it

'~ “Well,” Smiley saye, easy and careless, “*he is good enough for one thing, 1 should judge—he can out jump any frog in Calaveras county.” C The feller took the box and took another long and particular look, and gives it back to Smiley, and says very deliberate : o

“Well, T don’t see no points about that frog that’s any better than any other frog.” o :

“Maybe you don’t,” Smiley said. “Maybe you understand frogs, and maybe you don’t; maybe you ain’t only an amateur, as it were.. Anyways, I've got my opinion, and I’ll risk forty dollars that he can outjump any frog in Calaveras county.” - .And the feller studied a minute or two, and then says, kinder sad like—- “ Well, I’'m only a stranger here, and I ain’t got no frog, but if I had a frog I'd bet youn.” o o And then Smiley says, “That’s all right ; if you’ll hold my frog a minute I'll go and get you a frog;” and 80 the feller took the box and put up his forty dollars dlong with Smiley’s and sat down to wait. ;

So he sat there a good while, thinking to hisself, and tuk the frog ouf and pried open his mouth and tuk a teaspoon and filled him full of quail shot—filled him pretty near up to the chin, and set him on the floor. Smiley went out: to the swamp: and slopped around in the mud for a long time, and finally he keteched a frog and fetched him in, and give him to the feljer, and says : . “Now,if you are- ready, set him alongside of Dan’l with his forepaws just even with Dan’l’s, and I'll give the word!” Then he says: “one—two—three—jump,” and him- and the feller touched up the frogs from behind, and the new frog hopped off lively, but Dan’l gave a heave, histed up his shoulder—so—like a Frenchman, bat it was no use; he couldn’t budge; he was planted as solid as an anvil, and he couldn’t no more stir than if be was anchored out. Smiley was a good deal surprised, and he was disgusted, too, but he didn’t have no idea what the matter was, of course.

The feller took the money and started away, and when he was gone out of the door he sorter jerked his thumb over his shonlder—this way—at Dan’l and says again, “well, I don’t see no other points about that frog that’s any better than any other trog.” Smiley stood scratching his head and looking down on Dan’l for & long time, and at last he says: “I do won der what in the nation that frog throwed off for; I wonder if there ain’t something the matter with him; he ‘pears 10 look mighty baggy somehow ;" and he ketched Dan'l by the nape: of the neck and' lifted him up, and says “why; blame my cat, if he don’t weigh five pounds,” and he turned him up side down, and he belched out a double handful of shot, and then he see how it was, and he was the maddest man ! . He set the frog down, and took after the feller, but he never ketched him.. .~ ot L o Cop pRG RS 81, Louis, May 24.—At about. half past eight o’clock this evening; a fire broke out in the Bindery. depart:, ‘ment of the Missouri Republican b‘;ce.

, Maryville, East Tennessee, Cbnespondeicé of the { ; New York Sun. | AMurderer’s Mistake--His own Wife’s | Throat Cut Instead of a Lodger’s-== |" The Perils ofa Pensioner, | i - A terrible tragedy was enaeted on | Thursday of last week, in one of the | upper districts of Sevier -cqggty. A ' .]s)‘oor widow woman of the name of | Stratton had been t¢ Kuoxville to receive pension n‘:oney&o the amount of $B5. On her return she sought and obtained lodging ion that Tgnrsday evening at the house of one Joe Burkhard, in the border of one of the mountain settlements. "Being' ‘much worn - with the long Journey performed on foot, the woman retired 'at an early hour, occupying a bed with Burkhard’s wife. The man himself went out immediately after supper, and did not return until the hour at which the woimen were going to bed. - He sat beside the fire a short, time, and tten tinkered about the room a tew minutes, and finally departed a second time. R . Some time in the night Mrs. Strat: ton awoke from an unpleasant dream. She was greatly disturbed in mind, and evidently apprehensive of danger. She tried to calm her agitated thoughts, and slecp again, but found it impossicle. " The oppressive sense of peril became intensified. The room was gilent and uiterly dark ; yet the woman fancied she heard sounds without that boded 'no good. The money in her possession was no comforter then. Finally unable to endare this suspense longer, she awakened Mrs. Burkbard, and begged to be permitted to occupy the back part of the, bed saying that she was afraid to lic.in front. Mrs. B. evidently considering this a freak of timidity, at once changed places with the woman, and in a short time was asleep again, .~ -

Not so the other, however.. Weary as she was, she could not sleep, nor drive fear from her mind. -An hour passed in usual silence Finally a movement was heard without. The muffled tread of feet sounded before the house. The door was softly pushed open, and two human figures stealthily entered the aEartment. Noiselessly they crossed the puncheon ﬁ'oor and approached the bedside where the two women were lying. Mute and breathless with terror, Mrs. 8. saw one of the ruffians lay his hand on the face of her unconscious companion, while with the other he drew a long knife across her throat. She distinctly heard the hissing sound made by the keen blade ; as it cut its way through the yielding flegh, then the dull grating ag it crossed the bone, and felt the warm blood of/ the victim as it spurted across the bed and fell upon her face. i

Overcome with the horror of thig bloody scene, enacted by her very side, in the midst of silence and darkness, the fear of a similar fate paralyzed the poor woman, and she thought she was dying. Daring not to move or make a gound, yet scarcely able to control herself, she lay, with closed eyes and wildly beating heart, helplessly awaiting the termination of the fearful drama. P

" The murderers laid hold of the lifeless body of Mrs. B, believing, it of course, to be that of the stranger, and dragged it on to the floor, and thence out into the yard, no doubt to search for the money, which Burkhard knew Mrs. S. carried in her bosom. :

The latter, the moment she saw them disappear through the open door, sprang from the bed, in.the hope of making her escape. She well knew that as seon as the assassins discov‘ered the mistake they had made, would destroy her without mercy. — The cabin contained one wretched excuse for a fire place. It was built of split timber,clined with mud, -and outﬂ%:le extended up, pérhaps a foot above the mantel log. 1 ' . Through this broad opening Mrs. S. caw the light shinibg from without, and there she sought an exit. Plunging through the hot ashes and buried coals, with feet!unclothed, she clambered over the low wall of the firelace, and fled towards the nearest E{)gse, a half mile distant. e

' The alarm was given, and in a lemarkably short space of time a small company of citizens assenibled and proceeded to the scene of the murder. They happily reached the place in time to surprise and capture Burkhard, who was engaged in packing up a few articles of clothing, preparatory to flight. His daughter, a girl sixteen or seventeen years of age, was assisting him in this operation. gy i The iardened wretch manifested very, little if any, concern tor what had transpired, and seemed only to regret the failure of his original design. His accomplice had escaped, but every effort is being made to secure his arrest. The unhappy victim of this revolting crime was found partially secreted beside ‘the:corn crib, some distance from the rear of the house. ' 1 > D & iy i The Enforcement Bill, - WASHINGTON, May 24 —The enforcement bill, as it is now called, has been fixed up in a new but still. stringent shape by the conference. eommit-. tee, and was reported to the Senate to day.

: One of their Dodges. ; | It is asserted with more truth than elegatice,” that thé radicals in congress are very much in the condition of the | boot-black that was “out of spit."”. — They have no princi})le‘a left for which to contend; no policy left but the spoils, and no object in view but to ' waintain their party ascendency. The questions growing out of the late war, which they made a stepping -stone to - power, haviug passed ont of the arena of politics, the party is, day by day, loeing strength—one by one the states are retarning to the control of the democratic party. - This manifest tendency to the overthrow of radical supremacy frightens the leaders of that party, and they are already looking around for opportunities to: increase and ({Jrolbng their ascendency in the United States senate. Thus it is now proposed to make a state of New Mexico at the next session of congress, and an ena--bling act to that emsg,wi!l probably be ‘passed before the adjournment. They* | calculate on securing two radical sena- . tois from that little borough,which they “will call a state whenever assured that ‘it will do the party bidding. So we go. As fast as any.of the old states - desert the decaying radical organization, a new oue is created. In this ' way, unless the democrats bestir them. selves and secure control of the house of representatives at the next election, the senate may be kept radical for a generation to:.come. | A ; ; The Doetors Can’¢ Endure It. The radical papers throughout the country are dreag'fu]ly' exerciged because the Medical Association, meeting at Washington, will not permit negro doctors to sit in their conventions. For ourselves we rejoice to know that there is left one little green spot at the ‘ capital where a man may separate himself from the negro, and yet escape the vengeance of Congress. . The negroes have, by Radical Legislation, been crowded into the| street cars, res- | “taurants, and hotels. Intoall the offices ! that can be spared for them. They have been made judges, lawyers, jurymen; and city aldermen, and forced into trades unions, and every where else, but the Doctors resolutely hold out against the terrible pressure, and resolutely set their faces against admit- ' tixig them to consultation, or to take any part in their deliberations. There is'one little! matter that the medical gentlemen should not overlook in the | position they have assumed. If they -remain firm, it is not improbable that ‘their profession will be overrun by - persons who will seek to escape from ‘the irrepressible negro. What aluxury it will be even for a Senator to es<ape from the senate room and to take -a seat among a company of white gentlemen.—New Albany Ledger. ’ J T —— ] It is reported that a gentleman' in Kentueky heard an unusal noise in his “hennery,” in the night time, and fired his shot gun in the direction of the chicken coops, just for the fun of the ‘thing. He possibly expected that the chickens would be .quieted thereby.— The next morning a ‘fifteenth amendment” was found dead among the roosters. The matter has been referred to ‘the committee on reconstruction for investigation, as it is supposed to involve an infraction of the civil rights bill.— Sumner will address the senate, upon this latest outrage, at an early day, and Generals Canby and Terry, may be looked . for in Kentucky within a | month. ‘

The fire originated in a baker’s shop and, although the troops were called out and efforts made to stay its progress by blowing up buildings, all efforts proved unavailing.

A CLERICAL WARMING-PAN. In many parts of Ireland a warmingpan is called a “friar.” Not many yeirs ago an unsophisticated gul took service in the town of ———., Poor thing, she had never heard of a warming pan in her life, though she regularly confessed tothe friar. 4 %5 [ ni It so happened that on a cool and drizzly night a priest took a lodging at an inn. He had traveled far, and being weary, retired at an early hour. ; : Soon afterward the landlady ordered the girl to take the friar to room No. 6. The poor girl not dreaming that by the “friar” her-mistress meant the warmingpan; hasténed to the priest, who was comfortably settled in his bed. Lo g Up went Betty to the priest: “Your reverence must go to No. 6. || i

““How? why?" asked the priest, alarm ed at being disturbed. af, “Your reverence must go into No. 6.” There was no help for it, and the priest arose, donned a dressing gown, and went into No. 8. g e

" In-about fiftcen minutes the mistress called to Betty: “Put the friar into No 4. ; Betty said something about disturbing his reverence which the mistress did not understand. 8o she told the girl in a sharp voice to do as she was directed and she would always do right. i g

" Up wenty Betty, and the unhappy priest, despite his angry protestations, was obliged to turn out of No. 8 and go into No. 4.- But a little time elapsed ere the girl was told to put up the friar into No. 8. The poor priest, thinking that every one was mad in the house, and stardily resolved to quit the next morning, crept into the damp sheets of No. 8. But he was to enjoy~ho peace thers. Bety wae directed to put the {riar into No. 3, and with tears in her eyes she obeyed, In dbrut an hour the landlady con: cluded to go to bed herself, and the friar was ordered into her room, Wondérjng what it meant, Betty roused up the priest aud-told him that he must go into No. 11. - The patient monk then crossed him self, counted his beads, and went into No. 11. It so happened that the busband of the landlady was froubled with the ‘greeneyed monster” Goifig to bed, therefore, before his wife, bis suspicions were confirmed by seeing Betwégn his own sheets a man sound asleep. CEI

To rouse the sleeper, and kick him into the street, was the work of a few moments; .nor was the -mistake explained until the next day, when the pricst informed the inn-keeper what outrages had been committed upon him ; and he learned, to his astonishment, that he had been serving the- whole night as a warmingpan: i e it 4 = ‘—-—"—*»——“——-;j ; From the Scientific American.” Another New Play:Thing for Over- ! - grown Children, A few ‘moynings since a quiet gentle-: man and a handsome youth walked into -our sanctum, bringing with them a queer looking package, The quecr looking package was no matter of surprise to us, for our eycs are familiar with nearly all the forms into which the genius of inventors can torture wood and metal. But while the elder of the two gentlemen entered into conversation with wns the younger undid the package, disclosing a pair of wheels some fourteen or fifteen inches in diameter, to which were attach: ed some stout hickory stirrup like appendages, in the bottoms of which were foot pieces, shaped like the woods of cammon skates, | - s

-~ _On one side of the stirrup li‘\ke éppcndages were firmly fastened metalic plates, each having a short axle or begrilig pro jecting from its center, upon which the wheels above mentioned turned. The stirrup-like appendages were rﬂade of flat strips of wood about three inches wide in the broadest portion, bent so that one side was nearly straight, while the other was wade to meet it about midway to form a sort of loop. In the bottom of this loop were placed the foot pieces above described, provided with toe straps and a clasp for the heel. To the upper end of the stirrups 'was attached a piece of wood to fit the outer and upper con formation of the calves.of the legs.

In less time than it took ue to note these points, the young gentleman—who was subsequently introduced to us as the son of the inventor of this singular device —had strapped on the wheels and com. menced rapidly gliding about among tables and chairs with bingular swiftness and gracefulness. A space being cleared he proceeded to execute with seemingly perfect ense, the inside and outside roll figure of eight eté., etc., amply demonstrating that the “pedespeed” Has all the capabilities of the skate, botli in the variety‘and ‘grace of .the ‘evolutions that can be performed on it. | 1 ' .

S A Teuching Story. ' fid The Hon. A. H. Stephens; of Georgia, in a recent address, at a meeting at Alexandria, for the benefit of the Orphan AsyJum and free School of that city, related the following anecdote: 5 + “A poor little boy on a cold. night, with with no home nor roof to shelter his head, no paternalnﬁ';,matgmnl guardian or guide to protect or direct him on his way, reached at nightfall the home of ‘4 wealthy planter, who'took him in and fed and lodged him, and sent him on his way with & blessing. These kind attentions cheered his heart and- inspired him with fresh courage to battle ‘with the obstacles of life. Years rolled round ; Providence led him;on, and he reached legal profession ; his host had died; the cormorants that prey on the substance of man had. formed & conspiracy to get from the widow' her estate. She sent for the nearest counsel to commit her cause to him, and that counsel proved to be the orphan boy long before welcomed and entertained by her deceased husband. . The stimulus of a warm and tenacious ‘gratitude was now added to the ordinary motive connected with the profession. He undertook her causs with a will not easy, to be resisted ;’ he gained it ; the widow’s estates were sccured to her in perpetuity,” and Mr. Ste. phens added, with an emp%asis of emotion’ that sent an electric thrill throughoutthe house, “That boy stands before you ™ . G e —— © 'The “Plebiseite.” © “Plebisciteis only a highsounding name for a gpecial election. French literary men and politicians have a weakness for Latin terms, and 'call a special election a “plebicitum,” which was a Lat in name for a law passed for those assemblies for the people called comitia tribita. Strictly speaking, the “plebiscitum,” is a decree thus passed by the whole body of the people. The French form of the word is “plebiscite,” and the term is loosely applied- to the decree, the submission of the decree to vote, and the draft of the

decree which.is discusssed, as now, to the Corps Legislatif. But this draft is also and more properally called a Senatus consultum—another Latin phrase signifying both a decree of the Senate and a delate therein. Regularly the Senatus consultum was the form.by which the Roman people passed upon a law by yea and nay vote, but they also had the power of voting on measures not introduced by the- Senate, ani this power of introducing laws to the people for their vote is'what in France i%(':alled the plebiscitory power, and what the Emperor now reserves for himself, inflependent of any action of his Parhament. ‘The Senatus consultum how on hand perpetuates the sovereign power in the Bonaparte family, and its adoption will bind anew allwho support the tortunes of that family.— Exchange. - B

‘Tuk Naturalization bill which lately passed the British Houge of Commons declares, in effect, that British subjects naturalized in the United States, and American citizens naturalized in the United Kingdom, shall be freed from their primitive allegiance, thus completely recognizing the American principle for which we have contended so long. It al--80 removes certain disabilities to which naturalized foreigners were obliged to submit in Great Britain, and gives them the right to hold and “convey land, to enter Parliament, and to become members of the Privy Council. It originated in the House of Lords, has been very slightly amended by the Commons, and now goes back to the upper-house, where it is not likely to- encounter any difficulty.. The Government of England, has always held to the Blackstonian theory that no man conld expatriate himself—once & Britigher, always a Britither—but the present biil is the expression of the opinion and arguments of the highest judicial cfficers of the Crown, who believe that a' man can elect the government to which he will attach himself. Ifa native of Great Britain takes up his residence in' America; and desires to swear allegiance to, the United States, the Goveriment of England should recognize the legality of the transfer of the- sabject. A treaty involving this point was ccucluded with Prussia by Min.ister Bancroft; Hon, Joseph A. Wright having originated it, and the telegraph alludes to the conclusion of a similar one between Olarendonand Minister Motley, in London.—lnd. Journal. -
