OUE KENTUCKY DEPARTMENT.
CONDUCTED BY JOB. B. COTTRELL, D.D.
Bishop Dudley, of the Protestant Episcopal
Chnrch preached in KassellTille on Thursday
and Friday nights, the 9th and 10th of May.
The writer beard his sermon on Thursday, night
and is greatly pleased to mention the simple,
direct and |oommon-sense way the .bishop has
of preachipg the Gospel. Christianity and not
Chnrehianity, hath certainly a witness in this
prelate. When commendation of a man can be
given from one being inspired with genuine
respect and admiration, and is spoken or writ
ten simply from the impulse prompting expres
sion of the thought of the heart, then it is seem
ly as well as gratifying to do so; and we make
no apology’ therefore, for declaring Kentucky
fortunate in brringVjnch a gentleman as Bishop
D. abroad among her people. A refined, cul
tured, scholarly man, ministering to the people
of all classes, ages and conditions, is more po
tent than a university. He imbueB the com
monwealth of mind with his own spirit, and
all people feel that they have a right—a usur-
fruot—in him. ... ,
Bishop Dudley belongs to that class of men
whom we feel prompted to call minister, rather
than Bishop or Doctor—for he seems verily a
1..B among men. Nothing of the peacock strut
in bis look, manner, voice or salutation. Some
men are simply great men—not great scholars,
or great writers, or great preachers, or great ac
tors—but great men. And greatness after this
manner is not in degree, but in kind. We call
a man a great man who makes us feel proud of
our own makind; one whose conversation is so
unassuming that we came back to nature and to
bookB and srif-realization without unrest, chaff
ing or humiliation. Such a man is never spent
by any one effort, nor is he fully developed or
expressed by one conversation. We feei that there
is somewhat held in reserve not from caution
or prudence, but just because all excellent
things are from an exhaustless depth and full
ness. To such men we can assert ouriown con
victions, acknowledge our misgivings—with
such we can canvass all that is essential to
Tharacter and vital to conduot as well as what
is expedient; we can advance what we bold ten
tatively and then in candor and courtesy
try our positions, confirming what will hold
and discovering what is insequential, confident
that we suffer no discount because we may an
swer no purpose of theirs other than that high
est one of intellectual and spiritual com
munion.
After a talk of a few hours with Bishop Dudley,
in which nothing was shunned that pertained
to the questions of religious and church life, it
is delightful to be able to think of him and
speak of him thus—anti-podal though we are
in much that engrosses thought and determines
methods of action.
These things which men of the various sects
hold in common, and by which individuals in
each graduate to the degree of true Christian
manhood, are just what may be regarded as of
the essence oi the faith. What is peculiar to
any creed and differentiates it from all the
others is merely a matter of taste, opinion, in
ference or accident, and is not essential to char
acter.
It was well not to change the name of the
Methodist E. Church, South, no doubt, but was
there any propriety in the gush over retaining
the word South, as exhibited in the General
Conference? Some sensations are very cheap.
In the General Conference at New Orleans, in
1866, it was proposed to change the name of the
church to that of the Episcopal Methodist Church,
and it commanded a large majority in its favor.
The question of so changing was submitted to
all the Annual Conferences, . and nearly two-
thirds ratified the change. A mere minority re
tained the name as we have it. What was there
then that does not obtain now, which rendered
it, in the opinion of so tremendous a majority,
advisable to cLange the name? The proprie
ties for so changing were argued by such men
as Dogget, McTyre, Myers, W. A. Smith, and
the arguments were convincing and persuasive.
The strongest and most philosophical reason
for not changing was urged by Dr., now Bishop
Keener. All that in the report of the commit
tee and in some of the speeches about ‘fiery
baptisms’ and ‘blessings of the Holy Ghost’ and
■embodiment of all nobilities,’ might very well
have been left out. We confess to feeling that
there was the glow of a little stronger fire just
in them. The argument that in Illinois some
who were ever friends to the South have recent
ly found it safer to come to us, and have added
to our numbers a few thousand names, there
fore, the sanction of God to our spreading
North in the name of the South is to be conclu
ded seems hardly worthy of grave logicians.
Every reason that justifies our retaining the
name South is a reason why the other branch of
the Methodist Church, should add the word
Xorth to its name, and the reasons for such local
izing denominations should restrain each with
in its own section. If they refuse such ac
commodations then, under the name of Epis
copal Methodist Church, we would widen
our track, sweep past our rival, take
aboard all the conservative elements of Meth
odism on the continent and thus attest our true
catholicity and loyalty to what is semiannually
and organically Methodism. Such a change
would be an act of faith, and would be inspi-
rative of respect throughout the world. At the
session of the Montgomery Conference at Jack
sonville. to which the question of changing the
name was submitted, of the general conference
of 1866, Bishop Wightman presided. He was
opposed to the change, and on invitation, ad
dressed the conference. The writer replied to
the Bishop, taking the ground that the name
Episcopal Methodist was more felicitously and
philosophically descriptive of our church than
that of Methodist Episcopal, as we were gener
ally Methodists and specifically Episcopalians.
The generic name should be last and the specific
first. Bishop Dogget had so arranged at New
Orleans—Bishop Wightman spoke, in his ad
dress, of a speech ot Dr. Summers, in which he
bad essayed to meet Bishop Dogget’s reasoning
—he, Dr. Summers, taking the ground that we
are generically a church, and specifically Epis
copal—the term Methodist added to quality
Episcopal. The writer claimed that we are ge
netically Christian, and that we use the term
Methodist as synonomous with Christian, there
fore generically Methodist. Episcopal Metho
dist, therefore—or Episcopal chriBtian, Church,
being however, accepted as Christian, and that
being a descriptive word needed to denominate
what kind of Christians we are, the word Metho
dist came into place as specific, and it behooves
us to pass it over from beyond Episcopal and
let it nestle in the bosom of the church, leaving
Episcopal more remote and secondary—Metho
dist qualifiying church and Episcopal qualifv-
ing Methodist. We believe only five of the
conference voted against changing the name of
the church, to that of the Episcopal Methodist
church.
What the Bride Vas Dressed In.
Miss Sherman’s Wedding Dress-Cos
tumes of Mrs. Sherman and Others.
The bride’s dress was a white gros grain, eut
princess, train three yards; the bottom of the
train cut ii\ squares, edged with satin, with pe
lisse of satin underneath. The sides of the
train were turned back and faced with satin.
The front was covered with rows of exquisite
laoe of duchess and point Tenice, and the bot
tom of the skirt was finished in points, each al
ternate point turned up and lined with satin,
under whioh rests the pelisse of satin. The
garniture was composed of white lilacs and
orange blossoms, and were arranged in oh ste-s
on the left side, falling gracefully over and ex
tending around the bottom of the train. Gar
lands of the same crossed the front The eor-
sage, of an entirely new design, was eut very
low, heart shape in the back and square at the
front with strap over the shoulders ef satin,
embroidered in an exquisite manner and finish
ed with a rich fall of laoe. A vine of orange
blossoms, forming a bertha on the back of the
waist was placed over the left shoulder and ter
minated with a bouquet de corsage at the left
side. The long tulle veil swept gracefully over
the train, fleecy-like in effect, which, with the
coronet of orange blossoms and lilacs, were ex
ceedingly becoming. The ornaments were dia
monds and pearls, the gift of the groom. The
dress is one of surpassing loveliness and con
sidered the most artistio ever made in your
city.
The bridesmaids, six in number, were dressed
alike, the dresses composed of the finest white
organdie, trimmed with Mechlin lace. On the
back of each dress were placed narrow ruffles,
edged with narrow Mechlin lace, while the
front was composed of frills of wide Mechlin
and pelisses of organdie. Wide white satin
sashes, bordered with watered silk, were crossed
at the back and tied in a large bow down over
the train. The short round waists, worn with
belt, were cut high neck and trimmed with rows
of Mechlin insertion and puffs and finished at
the throat with Mechlin lace and niching of
crepe lisse, which produced a soft, becoming
effect. Marie Antoinette sleeves were composed
of Mechlin lace and insertion.
Mrs. Sherman, mother of the bride, being in
mourning, was becomingly attired in an ele
gant black silk, trimmed with jet and Chantilly
lace. The long, plain train was finished at the
bottom with five narrow pelisses, while the front
was elaborately embroidered with five rows,
lengthwise, of jet galloon, each side finished
with frill of rich Chantilly lace. The corsage
was cut a long basque, back bordered with a
handsome jet fringe, falling over the train,
while the front was cut square neck and elabo
rately trimmed with jet and lace. Marie Antoi
nette sleeves, trimmed with the same ornaments
of onyx and diamonds.
The traveling dress of the bride was cut quite
short, and one of those artistic and elegant
designs that almost defies description. The
material, a fine camel’s hair of the new “buge”
shade, was made with panel sides of kilt plait
ing, while the back was finished with large box
plaits at the waist and a narrow pelisse finished
the bottom. The waist was cut with coat back,
short and round in front and finished with belt.
The sleeves long, plain and close-fitting to the
wrist. An exquisite little hat, with parasol and
boots, were made to match.

revers of satin at the sides are finished with a
rich jet trimming. The front has a solid jet
embroidered apron. The surplice waist is
trimmed with jet embroidesy and rich lace.
Sleeves, open at the wrist, are finished with the
same soft lace.
A charming costume was one of fine English
barege in oream color, and beautifully embroid
ered, made also over silk. The train, finished
with narrow ruffles of barege, is edged with Val
enciennes. The embroidered drapery is caught
up with knots of ribbon, composing six differ
ent shades artistically blended. The basque
waist of the embroidered material was finished
with Valenciennes lace, and on the left side
will be worn a bouquet de corsege of crimson
roses. Knots of ribbon grace the sleeves and
neck.

A Desperate Attempt to tinnier a Mother for
tire Purpose of Securing Her Child.
[Florence (Arizona; Citizen.]
We are in receipt of the following account of a
terrible crime lately committed at Tucson :
Last Friday morning, about 7 o’clock, as Mr.
Roskuge was walking on the Camp Lowell road,
opposite the brick-yard, a mile or so from town,
he observed the well bucket (hanging to the up
per end of the rope) moving to and fro. There
being no man at work on the yard that day, and
no wind, Mr. Roskuge’s curiosity was excited, and
on examination at the well heard a voice from the
bottom. To make short what might be easily, and
with some interest, a long Btory, he got a soldier,
who was passing by, to watch the well while he
went to town, obtained a wagon, rope and some
men, and went back and rescued the person, who
proved to be a woman. Passing over many acts
leading to the examination before Justioe Meyers
last Monday, the facts seem quite surely to be
these : The woman found in the well is named
Macedonia Paredes, and was thrown in on Tues
day by two women named Crecencia Sinohui and
Gaudalupe Cruz, the former being the priaeipal
morer. They induced ^Mrs. Paredes to go with
them to gather flewers| to use on Good Friday.
When near the well it was suggested to get some
water. The victim, suspecting nothing, laid down
her child, went to the well, where she was thrown,
the rope tied about her legs and thrown down the
well, head first. When part the way down Mrs.
Paredes managed to reach up, catch the rope, and
thus break the force of the fall, which was about
sixty feet. She stood all night in water up to
her armpits, and the result to her will very likely
be death before this is published. The object of
this unnatural crime appears to have been the pos
session of the victim’s child, which was only fif
teen days old. The father of the child lived with
the mother at Sonora. He came here, and, at the
time of the crime, was living with the woman,
Sinohui, and the latter says the former induced
her to do what she did to get the child for him. _ , , _ .
So, after throwing the mother into the well, she Wednesday, the Egyptians Thursday, the
stole the child and took it to her home, where it ; Tui ' k « Frida Y> and the Jew9 Saturday,
was found and recognized by the mother and the j Score one good hit for the much-abused frater-
mother’s nurse during confinement. An effort ' nity of tramps. One of the innumerable caravan
was first made to show the child to be that of the
chief criminal, but it failed, and now both she and
her aid (Gaudalupe Cruz) are in jail under bonds
of !?5,000 to answer to the next grand jury. The
brute of a man (name unknown) who serins to
have instigated ttie deed, is still at large, whereas,
if the facts are as they are generally accepted to
be, he deserves the severest and prompt punish
ment prescribed by law.
The latest and most comical sensation in high
life has "been the elopement ajtd marriage of
Senator Mitchell’s daughter, a gushing young
lady of fifteen summers, to a clerk in the navy
deyartment by the name of Handy. Mr. Handy
is also a young man of remarkable sentiment.
For some time he has been paying his address
es to the senator’s pretty daughter, but no
thought of anything serious probably entered
the father’s head. On Saturday night, howev
er, the young couple having matured their plans,
quietly stele off and wended their way to the
residence of Rev. Father DeWolff, of St. Peter’s
Catholic Church, on Capitol Hill where they
were married, and took the first train to Balti
more, where they spent the night. This morn
ing they returned home, and the gossips had
by this time gotten hold of the little affair, and
were spreading it in all directions.
The senator’s daughter called at the house
where she had been accustomed to receive the
paternal greeting. She was accompanied by
her new-found husband. But the reception
was not exactly what the happy twain had look
ed for. Instead of clasping his daughter and
son-in-law to his fond embrace, the senator
told the young bride she could choose imme
diately between a husband and a home. After
a few moments of deliberation she expressed a
preference for the latter, and the groom retired
from the scene of his latte triumphs. The sena
tor is furious aboat the matter, and threatens
vengeance on the clergyman who united the
pair and on the young man who Rtole her away.
Elegant New Dresses.

hi- -taff retired into a little building by the road
side, and I and my staff prepared to follow. Just
then I caught sight of my brother, who was with

The Diamond Lady.
A Princess from Aladdiu’s Palace at a Military
Reception.
The most interesting feature of the Seventh
Regiment's reception in the Academy of Music
on Wednesday night was the appearance of the
Diamond Lady. Her bodice flamed with cost
ly jewels. She wore a satin dress, with a point
lace overskirt. The train was folly six feet long,
and was literally sewn with diamonds. At least
a pint of these precions jewels were sprinkled
over the glossy fabric. The Diamond Lady's
waiBt was spanned by a zone of blazing brilliants
that sparkled like the belt of Orion. It was
three inches wide. A roseate wreath showered
with precious gems was looped obliquely around
her skirt, and a diamond crucifix, resembling
the glowing stars of the Southern Cross, was
suspended from a necklace of.solitaires as large
as filberts.
r i h drees of the Diamond Lady was out pomp
adour. Its folds seemed resplendent with seeds
of light Pale fires flashed from her jewelled
bracelets, and the richest precious stones twink
led on her fingers. Cinctures of magnificent
diamonds clasped her white arms above the
elbows. She wore a glittering coronet. Its
centre stone blazed like a de Sancy. Prismatic
rays of light shot from nests of jewels half hid
den in her hair, and pendants of a delicious
water swung from her ears.
The Princess Badralbadonr, from her boudoir,
would not have attracted more attention. But
no Aladdin nor Oriental magician danced at
tendance upon the Diamond Lady. They would
not, however, have been out of place, for she
was so loaded with precious stones that she seem
ed to move abont with difficulty. A gallant cap
tain of the Seventh estimated the weight of her
diamonds, laoes and satins at fifty pounds, and
her jewels alone are said to have been valued
all the way from $150,000 to $200,000.
From her box in the balcony the Diamond
Lady gazed at the whirlpool of humanity below
like a constellation of stars of the first magni
tude. Her jewels ^winkled in harmony with
the strains of Strauss's mnsio, and flashed over
the movements of the dancers. When she swept
from the Academy the gaslights seemed to shine
with a subdued brilliancy, and the members of

officers, drew a long breath of reliei

bride’s and bridesmaid's dresses.
Miss Terry, recently married in New York to
Baron Blanc, Italian Minister to United States,
wore a magnificent dress of white satin, a la
princesse, with a long, square, fan-like train.
The Maria de Medicis collar, edged with a point
d'Alencon lace headed by a vine of embroidered
rose-leaves and orange blossoms. The elbow
sleeves were entirely of point d' Alencon, trimmed
around just above the fall with twisted folds of
satin. The entire front of the skirt was em
broidered in rose-leaves, frosted with silver,
and dotted here and there with beads that
glistened in the brilliant gas-light like dew
drops. Commencing at the stomacher, and
continuing down the qentre to the bottom, was
a branch of embroidered roses, with orange
blossoms mingled, representing the famous
ceinture royal of the sixteenth century. The
continuation of the bodice was drawn back at
the sides and draped down the rear of the skirt.
This was completely covered with falls of point
d‘ Alencon lace two feet deep. The train was
edged with a ‘bridal chain,’ made ot convoluted
satin folds and thick, narrow knife-plaiting,and
it was edged underneath with narrow lace. A
long tulle veil floated over this from a tiara of
diamonds.
The dresses of*he four young bridemaids
were of while satin, covered with the finest
striped gaze, delicately threaded with silver.
The drapery (was joined in the front of the
skirts with a daisy chain of white satin ribbon,
and at several points was drawn back, failing
in deep flounces at the sides. This was edged
at the bottom and down the sides, extending
part of the way along the train with a d> ep fall
of silver embroidery of rich design. A ro w of
similar embroidery crossed the front. Tue gaze
fell in four deep folds down the back 3f the
skirts; and was edged with narrow folds of the
stuff. The bottoms of the skirts in front were
finished with three similar flounces. The cor
sages were of w’hite satin, with gaze sleeves,
both trimmed with the silver embroidery. E .ch
yonng lady wore along tulle veil, and carried a
bouquet of red and white roses in her hirnl.
The two children were attired in white silk sli ps,
with overdresses of Valenciennes laces and aide
sashes or cream-colored flowered ribboD.
Some of the New York Society journals de-
vete columns to descriptions of Miss Terry’s
trousseau. From the bewindering catalogue of
velvets, silks, crepes, etc., we select two or three
of the plainer dresses: One is a pink gaze de
Chambery, made over pink silk, very long and
beautifully draped, the draping finished with
fringe of pearls, and caught in a very artistic
mrnner with bows of watered ribbon. Tm-. cor

pearl trimming and fringe was caught up on
each shoulder with knots of the ribbon.

Loss of Life in the Mines.
[From Special to the Times.]
Shenandoah, May 10.—The loss of life among
the miners during the last few days has been very
great, and almost every hour the ambulance can
be seen carrying away the victims. The unfortu
nates in every instance were crushed, mutilated,
blackened and burned beyond recognition. No
less than ten men were literally butchered by the
sharp edge of several tons of coal falling upon
them yesterday. To-day a young man named
Peter It. Eichard, working at the Elmwood colliery,
near Mahanoy City, met a horrible death. Six
tons of coal fell on him, crushing him into a shape
less mass. His arms were severed from his body
and his brains lay scattered about the chamber
where he worked. The men, in order to earn a
living, are obliged to work early and late and
lose their usual discretion.

They went off to Paris together, and made no
response to the plea for divorce which Lord de
la Zouche at once put in. Their wicked freak
had a tearful termination. With a shocking
suddenness the madness of frenzy fell on the
young Earl of Mayo, and his horrified mother
was obliged to seek him out and conduct him
to an insane asylum. He was so frantic that the
company controlling the Channel boats refused
him a passage, and the wretched mother had to
cross with him in a freight vessel. Meantime,
the foolish young creature who had mined her
social prospects forever by her folly now finds
herself reduced almost to starvation. Her lover
is mad, and, of coarse, cannot help her; her
former husband is about to marry again, and,
of course, will do nothing for her, and her own
family, who have repudiated her openly, are
also poor, and cannot help her if-*they would.
