A World-wide Conspiracy. ICEYILEE. The District Conference of the M. E. Church, South, assembled at Hajriie- ville on Thursday morning, July 26th, and closed Saturday evening. Moot of the members and visitors, however, remained over Sunday to attend the religious services of the day. There were seventy-five or eighty delegates present from all parts of the District, and we never saw a more in telligent, earnest set of men at work in any cause. The district extends from the Oconee on the east to Flint river on the west, and embraces the counties of Bibb, Houston, Crawford, Dooly, Pulaski, Twiggs, Wilkinson, and that portion of-Macon east of Flint river. The session was very harmonious; the dis cussions were carried, on with consid erable spirit and perfect good wilL— Full reports were made of the state of the church, its progress, numbers, fi nances, and all other topics of interest connected with it." As a member of the church, we were much gratified that the reports generally were favora ble and encouraging. v' ,.; ;,’ /,-. The religious services which were held every day at 11 o'clock a. m. and 8 p. M. were intersting in the extreme. Several -were converted, and many a church-member-whose zeal hacf grbwn cold, mode a fresh ’start'arid solemnly pledged himself anew to the perfor mance of duties long neglected. Sun day night closed with an old-fashioned Methodist camp-meeting scene. It was not, however, strictly a Methodist meeting, for the Baptist brethren -got mixed up with it and were borne along on the tide of rejoicing, that sWept like a flood over the dense con gregation. We doubt not all felt that it was “good to be there,” and went away with renewed resolution to better exemplify in the future the doctrines of their ^profession. The hospitality of the Hayneville people was unbounded. They threw open the doors of their houses and hearts, .and both proved' amply large enough to receive all who came as visitors. We heard hut one sentiment expressed bn this snhjeot, and that was -of most hearty gratitude towards our. entertainers. Personally, we thank most cordially those Mends whose hos pitality we enjoyed, and also those whose hospitality we didn’t enjoy—for we were so crowded with invitations that we could not accept half‘of them. The District- Conference will be held next year at Fort Valley.

On last .Friday, July 28tli, James Toombs, who was convicted of mnrder, Ash, formerly of Savannah, who, before at; the last term of/Honston Superior Court, paid the penalty of his. crimes on the gallows. ?■ It was a day .of jubi lee for. the negroes. : They came from all parts of the county, and were flock ing into town before snnrise. At an early hour all the streets were crowd ed with. them. There were estimated to be about. 2,000. A great many of them repaired immediately to the jail; nnd they thronged around it sc tliiek that a large police force was or ganized by the Sheriff, nnd a passage was literally forced through the crowd, when the prisoner ..was brought out. At- the gallows Toombs made a. short speech. Ho advised the negroes to go homo, thro w away all their weapons, nnd live at peace with the whites.— There was no use attempting violence against the latter; they were intended to govern and there was no use in re sisting. He. was., fur example 'of .The sad end to which a-man would be brought by the use of fire-arms. Such was the substance of Ms re marks. Beside* this lie expressed bis nssnrance-tliat lie was going to heaven as so >n as to died. If that were true/ why. should he regret the event'that: brought him to this end? If a mur derer, when hanged for his . crime, can go straight to heaven, is not murder a thing to he desired? Ought we not use murder as a means of salvation?— This may be called carrying things to an extreme; but we .doubt mot the minds of his hearers were impressed with the’ idea that a man would be saved no matter what crime he had commit ted, and, therefore crime lost a . great deal of its heinonsness. The- tendency .of public executions is to rob . crime apparently of its wickeclnesss and pun ishment of its terrors. We are sure it- had that effect on the crowd that witnessed th'e hanging of Toombs, and therefore we are of the opinion that these executions should be private. '"mss*'’*' School Notice.

Mr. YallsnillghaBL Donn Piatt, in an article in the Capital on the death of Mr. Yallandig- ham, says: “Poor fellow? he takes a new departure indeed.

Mrs.- A. has been sfightiy deranged- for sometime, but nothing serious was apprehended, her husband keeping strict watch over her. The strychnine used was locked up in an old bureau drawer, aud the key hidden in a place, as hethongbt least likely to be found byihiswife, no other person knowing of the hiding place. We quote as follows from lhe Nawa’.accountr About three o’ciock yesterday morn ing, Mr. Ash was aroused by the cries of two of the children, and entering -the’room f ound Mrs. Ash in the act of takingaspoon from .the month of the. oldest child, a little girl, who struggled and resisted until her cries woke her fa ; ther nnd his friend, both o£ whom feeling alarmed, asked what she was doing.:; She replied, “only giving the children a little powder, I am afraid I have not given them enough.” They begged and entrfeated .her to tell - them’ what she had given them—Mr. Ash tasting the powder-which he discover ed on the mouth of one of fhwdhDdren, discovered, that it was quite bitter. She finally took .him to the, bureau drawer and showed him the bottle of strychnine from which she had dosed herself first and then each one of her three little ones.. It was but a short time after this before the mother, a young woman abont twenty five years old, and her three interesting little children, two girls and one boy/ were lying stiff and cold in the arms of death. Dyingin rapid succession (one after the other, the mother, although the first to take the poison, lived to see her chil dren all die and then followed them herself. It is said that, the struggles of the poor little crejkjares /yere awful, -the oldegt falling backwards was drawn together in such h Manner that her head and f^thearV touched each oth er.'

Each country composes a dividend in to sections. Each important center is subdivided into other sections, with a central bureau. Every week each central bureau sends to ' the London office—1, a detailed ' report on the political and commercial' events of the neighborhood; 2, a statement of addi tional members; 3, a financial state ment; 4, a statement by name of the .principal merchants and tradesmen; 5, a statement by name of the principal proprietors and capitalists^ 6, copies of minutes of meeting s held. There are, of course, many other secret rules regarding the expulsion of members, and the means of pressure to. be em ployed in cases of strikes, &c., which I have no means of obtaining, but it; will appear from the above that- the organization is one conceived on scale capable of indefinite expansion, and appealing to the sympathies, of largest and and least reputable class of the .community in all-', the countries. The catastrophe, of Paris, so far from operating as a check to its *: growth, will probably give it a powerfulj impe tus, as, unhappily,'the more infamous the notoriety of such an * association becomes, the more'-attractive will it prove to that large section of society over'whom, such a celebrity exercises an irresistible feschiation^ It is to be regretted that there should also be a large class of persons with'such •* sin gularly perverted notions that they conscientiously believe the reformation for humanity can only be worked by liter ’ and incendiarism on a vast scale. Such) men were Delesduse, Miot, Cnrbert, and many others of the leaders of the movement, one of the most sanguinary of whom—Milie r e, who bad probably ordered exeentiom of more-innocent persons; than any of his colleagnes-when he was shot shout ed With his last breath: “ Vive V liuman- tte. Thus may ‘ ‘the enthniasm,of hu manity,” inverted, become absolutely fatal to it.

The peculiarity of this association - is, therefore, that while .it appeals ,tof ibe whole, working -classes ■ of the civilized world by an argument which the simplest can com prehend, and offers a refuge aid sup- port to the revolutionist of every coun try, it. has a philosophy and political economy of his own sufficiently speciom to attract theorists and would-be refor- that, the Atlanta Ice Company had been organised and'that its machinery was being-placed on the Chattahoochee river, near the railroad bridge, 'seven miles from the city.

CoL R. H. Brown, at the request'one. of gave a- brief description of THE PROCESS OF ICE-MAKING. The process is based upon-the scien tific principle that evaportion produces eold—the more rapid the more intense the cold. The agent adopted to pro duce the evaporation is aqua ajtimonia. This agent is depositea ’in’ah upright, cylindrical evaporator, some twenty feet in height; Through this -cylinder a number of steam pipes pass,: by ineans of which the ammonia is reduced to giis, This gasiteen passes into a liqui- fier, when it is compressed into a liq uid'state and, passes on, through a great number of pipes, in various direc tions, through the great prizing baths. The ammonia is then returned ' to its- original condition and deposited- again in the evaporator, to be again - passed through all the necessary processes. The same material being used over anil over again, there being no' consump tion, further than results from -tbe small portion that may 'escape during the various changes of condition that axe .neeessaryr in the performance of the functions for which it is employed; the freezing ' During the existence of the present hot weather cases of srtn stroke are lia ble to occur, aud as a matter of time ly suggestions we give the following directions for the treatment, of 7sun stroke until medical aid can be ob tained. i It is from Dr. H^e’s little worlky.entitled “JKll theDocfoi Gomes, and.How to Help Him:” - J3jmstroke is a sndilen prostration due to long exposure to great heat, especially when one is much fatigued or exhausted. It commonly happens from nndne exposure to the sun’s rays in slimmer, bail have seen the same effects produced in a baker from the great heat of the bake room. It be gins with ' pain in the head or dizzi ness, quickty" followed by loss of. con sciousness and complete prostration.—. Sometimes, however, the attack is as sudden as a stroke pf apoplexy; The head' is often burning hot, the face dark and swollen, . the breathing labor-' ed and snoring, and the' extremities- cold. Take the patient at once tea cool and shady place, but don’t Cany him >far to a house or hospital. Loos en his'clothes thoroughly about his- neck and waist.; Lay him down with the head a little raised. Apply wet cloths to the head; and mustard, or turpentine to the calves of the legs, and soles of the feet. Give a little weak whisky and water if he can swal low. Meanwhile let. some one go for the doctor. . You cannot do safely more than I have said without his ad vice.—New Fro, ' takes place in. tiie baths mentioned above. The vast amount of water in these large/ baths, (two in number), could .be frozen easily and ..with great rapidity, but there'would be great dif/ '.Acuity in removing the ice when fro^ It reaches the loftiest, andthe. ^besides it would be left in a basest natures, those who unselfish: »m, 5s merchantable condition. This .was avpided by filluig the hatiis with strong salt water, upon which cold is prodneedby the ammoniacal gas. The temperature of this brine is reduced as low as. jen degerees above, and at this- the freezing process progresses rap- idly. In the course of these haths 'are a large number of. apertures, with close covers, of sufficient capacity to admit a tin can, and ..about two feet deep. These cans.are filled withfresh water, and plunged into .the .salt water. Bath ’ and then left until their contents ore frozen. When frozen, the cans are lifted out, and plunged for a moment in a hot water bath to loosen their con tents, and then smooth, clear^. bard frozen cakes of ice are emptied from them, each one of which weighs-abont twenty-five pounds. Fonr . of these cans can he emptied every five jninuteg. This.is kept up steadily day and night, as is .designed, which would.i4ake... the capacity of the machine a. little over fourteen tons a day. The aim -of the company, however, is to prodtoce ten tons of merchantable ice a day. This can be done with perfect ease .-and safety.;-- -7 J .-/ - , ■ '7.-; . - ‘Constant and persistent advertis ing Is’ a sure prelude to wealth.”— Stephen Girard. “He who invests one dollar in busi ness should invest one dollar in ad vertising that business.”—A.

Read the testimony of Physicians and patient* who have used Kosadalis; send for our Boaadalis Guide to Health Book, or Almanac for this year, which we "publish for gratuitous distribution; it will give you much valuable information. Dr. R- W. Carr, of Baltimore, says: I take pleasure in recommending your Rosadalis as a very powerful alterative. I have seen it used in two cases with happy results—one in a case of secondary syphi lis, in which the pstient pronounced him self cured after having taken five bottles of your medicine- The other is a case of scrofula of long standing, which is rapidly improving under its use.and the indications are that the patient will soon recover. I have carefully examined the formula by which your Rosadalis is made, and find it an excellent compound of alterative ingre dients. Dr. Sparks, of NicholasviHe, Kentucky, says he has used Rcsilxlis incases of Scro fula and Secondary Syphilis with satisfac tory results—as a cleaner of the Mood, I know no better remedy. - Samuel Or. MeFadden. of Murfreesboro*, Tenn., says: - I have used seven betties of Rosadalia, and am entirely cured of Rheumatism; send me fonr bottles* as I wish it for my brother, who has scrofulous sore eyes.
