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. a isiciih: at fifteen. Women’s Cruelty to Women has a long train and plaitings of satin. The 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.

[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.

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. Ladies like to read of beautiful dresses, and the descrip'ion of elegant toilettes often aff -rd sug gestions to their taste and ingenuity. The Worth dresses are notable models of eristic taste. Here is the description of several the famous man-milliner has lately made ior Mile Albani, who is now playing La Triavata.

Just then I caught sight of my brother, who was with s ane artillery a little way down the road, and thinking to have him join us, I called ont to him by name. “Come,” said 1 pointing to the build ing we werejust entering. “No, thank you.” he answered, “I have just had one.” When brother Me went to see a grass widow sometime ago, he was so long fixing his mouth to “ take it in,” that she said “Hurry up, brother, or I 11 bust, I want to laugh so bad.” Brother Diamonds of Thought from Shak~ spere.

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 the famous Seventh, with their attendant police officers, drew a long breath of reliei was confined by■*> Mr/nonJ circlet in her hair, Ornaments of pearls and diamonds.

Her third dress is of white satin and silver. The underskirt is bordered in front with an elaborate shell-shaped trim ming in satin edged with, silver. Over that is a very short apron overskirt embroidered with silver, coming but a little below the knee, and bordered with a wide white and silver fringe. This is crossed transversely by a wreath of the glossy green leaves of the camelia with a sin gle white blossom here and there. Two simi lar garlands crossed behind holding back the long train of white satin embroidered with sil ver. The waist is cut half high, in the grace ful, modest style known of old as a la vierge, and is crossed by a garland corresponding to those on the skirt. 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.

[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.

(From a Paris Letter.) A gav young woman, good-looking and well connected, married Lord de la Zouche, and three months afterward committed the ineffable folly oi running off with another nobleman, the Earl o; Mayo, a mere boy, scarce nineteen. 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.
