l 4 Hdod Bishop. V; ;
Burdette relates lliat the first
time lie ever saw tlie late Bishop
Simpson was years ago, when he
(Burdette) was a reporter for the
I’corin Review, and was assigned
to chronicle the doings of the Cen
tral Illinois Conference, over which
Bishop Simpson presided. He and
the other reporters went early, sei/..
ed a big table belonging to the con-
Idrencp Secretaries, took possession
of their'stationery,etc., and waited
for the services to begin. "First
thing after the opening exercises,"
says Mr. Burdette,“a good brother
arose and culled attention to lire
presences>f the reporters “aithiji
the ba(r” and suggested that they
bo aBjighed a place without the
sacred ' precinte. We felt very
badly about it, as tlie suggestion
was warmly seconded, but while we
were wondering if we could carry
the big table with us, the Bishop
looked down upon us kindly and
said, in a soothing way: ‘Oil, well,
brethren, never mind. If the re
porters can • stand it I guess tlie
brethren can.’ We stood it. I re
member one thing he said, near the
close of the conference, in his talk
to his class of young men who
stood up to receive his charge.
'And',’ he said In the course of his
remarks, 'I: have heard young men,
in the depth of their humility, say,
“tam willing to lie u poor despis
ed Methodist preacher.” .Now
brethren, if you are poor, it’s your
otrn fault; and if yon are despised.
it ! ls because you are despicable.'
Aud then lie talked more common
sensa to those young men In five
minutes than some men arc priv
ileged to bear in as many years.
The yearly Gubernatorial elec-
lido In the United States is likely
to result in a victory for the
Wbings. The Federalists, under
the leadership of Mr. Blaine, who
was recently nominated for Mayor
of Chicago, arc hopeful of success. ;
This udw distinguished party lea
der was brought from the Sandwich :
Islands by Mr. Barnuni, and ex- j
hibited oa the tattooed man. Hav- !
ing learned something of A merienn
polities while traveling around the
provinces lie abandoned tile show
business and devoted himself to
tho work of writing a book. The
advance proof shcots allowed such
insight that he was at once taken
froth -bis lowly condition and
placed prominently before the peo
ple. Mr. Tildcn, tho prominent
bui rcl-niakcr, has declined to vote
in the coming election.— Condon
