JOHN R. SHAW
Americus people who attend the
ecumenical counci! of the Methodist
church In Washington next October will
see some of the antiquities of Methodism.
A department of the council will be a
devoted to these relics, one of which will
bo a little pleco of wood from the
Bethesda orphanage. It is nothing more
than a splinter, but It is connected with
the name of George Wbittleld-a name
that stands unsurpassed in the annals of
pulpit eloquence.
Bishop Asbury’s old tea canister will
have a prominent place. The canister Is
a simple, old.fashloned concern, and
would not attract much respectful at
tention at a camp meeting now*a-days.
Tet this old canister was the traveling
companion of one of the purest and best
men of Methodism. What a tale that
old piece of tin could tell, were it an
animate thiog! It could tell how many
miles It had travoled with the bishop. It
could tell hoe- many cups of tea the old
clergyman used to drink at a meal; It
could tell, too, perhaps, of the wonder
ful self-denial of the venerable man, as
aiaid peril and deprivation ho went about
laying the foundations of agreat religious
denomination; it could tell, too, no
doubt, how the good bishop would re
buke sin and sinners without fear and
trembling; it could tell in a few short
words, many of the noble things in the
bishop's life that only a traveling com
panion can know. Though old, still the
tea canister is well preserved, and would
still do on a pinch for a bishop's travel
ing companion now. The canister bears
the following Inscription: “Asbury'i
tea canister—the traveling tea canister of
Bishop Asbury.”
Bishop Asbury’s pouch is a relic of In
terest. It is a simple piece of muslin
canvas tied up with an ordinary cotton
string. It is a forcible reminder of the
bishop's simplicity. And then the
bishop’s spectacles; they lie in the glass
case side against the pouch. They are
the old time “specks." Their frames
look as solid as tbo prow of a steamer.
There is no delicate workmanship to bo
seen, but simply a plain idea of strength
can be gathered from them. When
Bishop Asbury died the spectacles
passed into the possession of Bishop Mc-
Kcndree.
Kov. Dr. G. C. M. ltoberts’ razor case
is an old-timer. It is about the size of
a small valise, and looks as though it
would hold half a dozen razors. Tho
case, though antiquated in looks and a
little out of style, has a vigorous appear
ance, and could, no doubt, be used by
some successor of Dr, Roberts.
The old razor caso of tho Rev. Jacob
Gruber is In a fair state of preservation,
It Is a curioiu looking concern, and
lacks the modern ideas in Btylo.
Bishop McKcndrce's clothes brush is
an oddity. It looks moro like a paint
brush than anything else. It is mado
of tho ordinary straw, but tho top
part of it is wrapped hoavily with
cord.
There is an interesting group of canes
in the antique callcction, among which
arc some which vividly recalled tho men
of the times of long ago. Somo of tho
canes are curiosities in Bhapo and design
and many of them are but the silent wit
nesses to the simplicity of the Metho-
dist preachers. Among thorn are tho
following: Tho Sunday cano cf lie
Henry Smith. It was made from timber
of the First Methodist church among the
Indians at Sandusky. A cano from tho
timber of Strawbridgo church at Pipe
creek, one cut from Mount Lobanon by
a party of Baltimoreans, among whom
was Mr. William Cortland; another from
the rigging loft in Now York city, In
which the Methodists first worship
ed bofore the building of Wesley
chapel in John street; a cano from
Mount Olive, once usod by Bishop Bev
erly Waugh, and ono which was carried
for sixteen years by Bishop Waugh, and
which was cut by Rev. Dr. John I*. Dur
bin, and presented to tho bishop. It
lator came Into the possession of Rev.
Thomas Myer and by him was presented
to the Maryland Historical Society.
One made from wood of the Eutaw
street Methodist Episcopal church orig
inal pulpit, and carried by Dr. G. C. M.
Roberts; one that was once used by Rev.
Paul Hitt, another that was used by
Bishop Francis Burns of Africa; one cut
from a cherry tree under which Straw-
bridge preached, and one from Wes
ley Grove, City Road Chapel, London,
England, and another from the birth
place of Rev. Dr, G. C. M. Roberto.
Perhaps the most touching and ten
der memento of the past is a little paper
box that contains locks ot balr of
Bishop Ashbury, of the mother of
Bishop Asbury, Bishop Emory, Bishop
McKendree and Father Smith. Over
four score years have come and gone
since Asbury was ordained a bishop,
and now looks of tho hair from the
heads of these great men are treasures,
Indeed, and will doubtless attract a
great deal of attention at the eenmenoial
council,

The worst soared darkey ever seen in
these parts was the lot boy employed on
Mr. C. M. Wheatley's place in this city,
who on yesterday had an experience
which he will not be apt to forget very
soon.
Tho negro bad gone into the corn crib
to get provender for the cows, and had
just gathered up an armful of shucks,
when a peculiar sound caused him to stop
and look about him. Seeing nothing,
he started for the door with the shucks,
when the noise again caused him to stop
and look about.
A movement among the shucks caused
him to look downward, where he saw a
full-grown rattle-snakes qulrming among
the shucks In his arms, trying to get
away, and jit the same time springing
his rattles furiously under the darkey'
The effect of the discover was
truly wonderful.
With a yell which any Comacbe Indian
would have proudly acknowledged as
hts own, the darkey dropped his wrig-
gllng burden, and after exeeuting sovo-
ral Intricate figures In the Terpsi chorean
art, he 1 went head first through the
weather-boarding of the barn like a grape
shot. He hit terra firma on a perpendic
ular, and those who witnessed his un
seemly haste in leaving the spot say
that the mud from Ids heels hit the shin
gles »t every jump. The snake still
Holds the fort.

Two gentlemen from Webster county
were In town Friday to secure help to
obtain ammunition to capture two men
who are doing mischief and disturbing
the peace of the settlement.
These men who are supposed to be es
caped convicts are armed and secreted In
a jungle of about four hundred acres on
the plantation of Dr. D. M. Hall. One
of them Is said to be either a white man
or a bright mulatto and the other blaek.
Last Saturday was the first time It was
known that these outlaws were In the
settlement by one of them shooting a
negro boy in the hlp<as he was passing
through s thick wood going to the
spring. Several other negro boys were
shot at as they passed along the roads.
This aroused the men of the settle
ment and a hunt was instituted. They
have beon seen each day since last Sat
urday but the posso was too small to
capture them In such a thick jungle.
Charlie BrooLj got a glimpse of one of
tho men as he was retreating like a deer
in a close path through this wilderness
but he was out of sight before Brooks
could draw a bead on him with his riflo.
They woro searching for tho men again
Tuesday and in passing in the outskirts
of tho jungle Joe Henderson heard
something snap, and looking in tho dl
rection ofjtho sound|saw tho head of both
men peered above a log behind which
they were lying. One of tho men snap
ped his pistol three times at Joe, but it
would not fire, and both of them jump-
ped up and ran like deers. Joe fired his
single barrelled gun loaded with No.
shot at them but whether he hit them or
not is not known. If ho had the small
shot would only have accelerated their
speed.
They were also seen Wednesday', tho
day Gordon and Brooks wero in town,
but at such a distance to be safe from
their pursuars.
That settlement is stirred from center
to circumference and women and chil
dren are frightened out of their wlta.
The settlement Is sparsely settled with
white people, which Increased tho fear
of the weak and unprotected. Oil Or*
A posso headed by the sheriff Is still
after the men and every effort will be
made to capture them if that Is possible,
