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.
