Toronto, June 22.—The third Inter
national Sunday-school convention assem
bled this morning in the pavilion of the
Horticultural Gardens at 8:45. The build
ing is a large and beautiful one, with a
scaling capacity of 2,500. Long before
the hour of opening had arrived the gal
leries were tilled to overflowing with the
citizens of and the visitors to Toronto.
Toronto is a pretty and important city,
wiih a population of100,000. It is the capital
of the Province of Ontaiio, and the cen
tre of education.
From the address cf welcome by the
lion. Edward Blake, I learned that the
Province of Ontario has five thousand one
hundred free schools and that four hun
dred and ninety thousand pupils attend
them. There are two existing laws of
the province relating to teaching the Scrip
tures to the children—one forbids any re
ligious instruction contrary to the wish of
the parent, while the other allows the
Bible taught when the parents do not ob
ject to it. As the result of introducing the
Scriptures into the schools, about 4,800
out of 5,100 oi them are opened with
prayer, while in 2,800 the ten command
ments are kuown and recited each day.
The Baptists, Methodists and Catholics
have the fiu**st church edifices in Toronto.
The Jarvis Steeet Baptist church, tlie
Metropolitan Methodist church and the
Catholic cathedral are grand structures,
haring a seating capacity of from fifteen
hdndied to two thousand each. Dr. Potts,
the Methodist minister, is attending
the Ecumenical Council of the Methodist
church at London. The Metropolitan
church was built during the stay or the
celebrated revivalist, Dr. Win. Puncheon,
who Is now dead. He perhaps was the
greatest Methodist minister since Wesley.
JL>r. Castle, of Philadelphia, has been pas
tor of tbe Jarvis Street Baptist church
during tbe past eight years, but will re
sign to accept tbe presidency oflhe Bap
tist college, which has been without one
for the past year on account of the death
of the former president.
There are many places of interest here
sod worthy of special mention, but my
time and yourspcce forbid a notice of all.
KXKRCISE8 OP THE CONVENTION.
1. Opening service ofpraise and prayer.
The above exercises consisted of sing
ing, Bible reading, short prayers and ad
dresses by several of the brethren. The
openiug song was “Coronation” or more
familiarly known as “All Hail the Power
uf Jesus Name.”
As per programme appropriate ad
dresses or welcome were delivered to the
delegates by Mayor McMunich aud tbe
lion. George W. Allen. Hon. Edward
iilake then addressed tbe audience. His
speech was lull of information and was
received with hearty applause.
After singing, the third order of exercises
was discharged, which was responses by
A. B. Colquitt and B. F. Jacobs to the
addresses just delivered.
Our Uovernor is well thought of in this
section aud is often referred to by speak
ers in the connection with his presidency
of the Atlanta meeting.
The fourth and filth orders of business
consisted of the report of the executive
committee and appointment of tbe commit

“Appetite? GreatScolt—appetite! Well,

that’s just why I’m parting with Jay—
I call him Jay Gould because he takes
everything in. If it wasn’t for his appe

“Savage, eh?”
“Well, no; I don’t know as I should call
Jay savage, exactly—sorter nibbish,

“There’s no pleasing some people,” said

The Retirement of Buik Circulation.
Special to the Courier Journal
Washington, June 23.—A difference
of opinion lias existed for some time be
tween the United States Treasurer and
the Comptroller of tbe Currency, which
has been finally settled by tbe Attorney-
General. The national banking act pro
vides that bauks desiring to retire circu
lation can do so on the deposit of legal
tender notes. The Treasurer insisted on
a strict construction of this law aud refused
to receive gold in lieu of legal tenders.
The Comptroller differed with him, and
insisted that the bauks should be al
lowed to deposit gold. The question was
a short time ago referred to the Attorney-
Geocrai, who decides that not onlv gold,
but silver also, shall bo received for tbe
purpose indicated. Ha at the same time
decides that tlie Treasurer shall not be
required to redeem national bank notes in
legal tenders, but may use gold, or silver
for that purpose. Whilst the Controller v
has succeeded in carrying his point, the
banks are placed iu a much worse posi
tion than they were before from the fact
that the deposits for retiring circulation
are small when compared with the
amount of national bank circulation sent
in for redemption, the latter amounting to
$1,000,900 In a single day, for all of
which silver dollars may be returned.
Unking; Things Over.
Detroit Post.
“Maria,” said Mr. Joues upon one of his
worrying days, “it seems to me you might
be more economical; now, there’s my oid
clothes, why don’t you make them over
for the children, instead of giviuc them
away?”
“Because they’re worn out when you’re
done with them,” answered Mrs. Jones.
“It’s no U3e making over things for the
children that won’t hold together; you
couldn’t do it yourself, smart as you think
you are.”
“Well,” grusrbled Jones, “I wouldn’t
have closets full of things mildewing for
want of wear if I was a woman, that
is all. A penny saved is a penny earned,
you know.”
That was in April. One warm day in
May Mr. Joues went prancing through tho
closets, looking for something he could
not find and turning things generally in
side out.
“Maria!” lie screamed, “where's my
gray alpaca duster?”
“Made it Liver for Joliuny.”
“Ahein! Well, where’s the brown
linen one I bought last summer ? ”
“Clothes-bag!” mumbled Mis. Jones,
who seemed to have a difficulty la her
speech at that moment, “Just made a
nice one.”
“Where are my lavender pants ? ”
yelled Jones.
“Cut them over for Willie.”
“Heavens ! ” groaned her husband;
theuina voice of thunder: “Where have
my bine suspenders got to ? ”
“Hung tbe baby-jumper with them.”
“Maria! ” asked lb« astonished man la
a subdued voice, “would you mind telling
me what you have done with my silk iiat?
You haven’t made that over for the babv,
have you ? ”
“Qh, no, dear!” answered his wife,
che°rfully. “I’ve used that lor a hang-
ing basket. It is fall of plants and looks
lovely.” Mr. Jones never mentions the
word economy or suggests making over—
he has had enough of it.
Toss Renton’s Vanity.
Philadelphia Press.
This recital recalls the scene between
Gen. Simon Camerou aud Tom Benton,
once related to me by the veteran Penn
sylvanian. It was during Mr. Cameron’s
first year in tho Senate, 1848,1 think. Ben
ton was apparently wrapped in his own
greatness and hardly recognized any of
the yoonger Senators, Going np the hill
to the capitol one day, Mr. Cameron
overtook the Migsonri statesman, and
never before having spoken to him, sainted
him :
“Good morning, Senator.”
“Good morning sir,” replied Mr. Benton.
“It is a pleasant day, Senator.”
“Yes, sir.”
“I hoi»e,” said General Cameron, “that I
shall have the pleasure of bearing yon
speak on the Oregon boundary question.
I have heard many others, bat would like
to hear yonr opinion of that measure.”
“Yes sir,” replied Mr. Benton, “yon will
hear me speak on the Oregon boundary
question, and when you do near me upon
that proposition, air, yon will see that I will
annihilate those who have spoken on ei
ther side like an elephant treading upon a
bed of pismires.”
