In spite at the grim tragedy that hung like a pall over the opening of the fashionable season at the Capitol, vanity Fair has ntver shown with more brilliancy than during the past winter and present spring, and now that the six months of mourning pre scribed by our English imitating of ficial etiquette is over, and the re pressive days of Lent are passed all semblance of restraint is laid aside and Washington, from sage Sena tor to sweet sixteen, is nightly mass ed at a reception, a great dinner, a ball, or the opera. At th s Presiden tial receptions during the last two weeks the dressing was unsurpassed by anything I have ever seen, ex cept perhaps the toilettis of “Nana’* and those of her class at the grandprix de Paris in 1878. The gentlemen of the foreign lega tions wore court dress witb great dis play of golden lace and buttons, and It was necessary for the ladies to throw the utmost possible splender Into their costumes in order to vie io brilliancy with the trtnseled soldiers and diplomats. The display of dia monds was literally dazzling. Nosucb display has been seen since Mrs. Ashton appeared, during the last administration, loaded with precious stones and followed by hired detec tives. Among successful dinner givers Senator Fair must be awardel the first place. He lives in a large house adjoining th i Arlington Hotel. The building is superb in all its appoint ments. The practically unlimited wealth of the bachelor senator ena bles him to dine everybody that is worth dining. It was impossible, of course, for congress, officers of the army and of the navy, to sit down to his table at one time, but he has fol lowed the programme of the presi dent’s state dinners, and by inviting en group, has gotten pretty well through the list. At a dinner given by him, attended by the president, cabinet, and their families, there yere sixteen courses and eight varie tias of wine. President Arthur has not upheld the banner of teetotallsm with very great enthusiasm, and has incurred the displeasure of those who lament the end of the administration of Mrs. Hayes. He has been accused of un Deeming 1 debauchery and of making £he While House a chapel of drunken saturnalia. On the other hand it is claimed that while not a total ab stainer he has complete control of his appetite, and that neither he nor his companions ever go beyond the bounds of decorum. One of his de fenders goes so far as to say that his cares and bisdev»tion to the business of his epited office have caused him to lose twenty pounds in weight. I do not believe this last story. He Is certainly stouter looking, and has more • dor than he had when he pre sided over the Senate one year ago, or when be appeared at the inaugural ball at the National Museum scarcely noticed among the greater celebri ties there. I went one day last week to attend the lectures of the Academy of Sciences, now held in one of the rooms of the National Museum. Mr. Cushing was lecturing on the my thology of the Zunl Indians, while t|alf-a : dozea representatives of the tribe, in native Qostume, sat on the platform behind him, fast askep, I could not help thinking of the last time I bad been in the building, lighted and heated to sufficasion, crowded with the wealth and talent and beauty and wickedness of the country. About ten o’clock'here, was a commotion in the crowd, and a rush to the western door through which entered the pale, care-worn baret-looklng President with Mrs, Airfield on his'arm. The Griffin Sews does not believe that the prosperity of the peo ple of this country depends upon the ascendency of any particu lar polltipal party. We agree fully With the News in its belief. The prosperity of the country depends upon the inteligence, energy and in dustry of the same people who give tshe, charapter and power to the Cfove rn inept. The New York JForld figures up that the next House of Kepresenta tives will consist of 325 merners, and predicts that of those 193 will be Pemoorats, 137 Republicans and five Green backers or Independents. It takescare, however, to add that 163 will constitute a majority, and that “Democratic foolishness” may upset the whole calculation. The only pad guaranteed to cure dia betes, gravel, dropsy, Bright's disease, nervous debility, and all diseases of the kidneys and bladder, is Prof. Gullmetta’s French Kidney Pad. I •VEINS A STATE. Some time since the Legislature of New Hampshire passed a law author izing its citizens, holding claims 'against another State, to transfer them to the State for suit in the Uni ted States Supreme Court. The ob ject of this action was to evade the United States Constitution, which, in the Xlth amendment, declared in force January Bth, 1798, distinctly states that “ The judicial power of the United States shall not be con strued to extend to any suit in law or tend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by the citi zens of another State, or by the citi zens orsubjects of any foreign State.” To avoid this plain provision of our organic law, which effectually pre vents a state from being sued by the citizens of any other state in the Union—adopted In recognition of the principle of sovereignty, and founded upon the old common law maxim that “the king can do no wrong”— the New Hampshire legislature pass ed the above mentioned act so that certain of its citizens, holders of Louisiana bonds might bring suit in the name of New Hampshire against Louisiana. In accordance with said law a suit is now pending in the United States supreme court by New Hampshire against Louisiana, to re cover claims for debt, which the lat ter state has virtually repudiated and refused to recognize. The result of this suit will be watched with great interest, as it in volves several very important ques tions. The constitmional amend ment above allude I to was adopted, as we have stated, to main tain the dignity and sovereignty of a State. It will be a matter of no little interest, therefore, to note whether the United States Supreme Court— that presumable great bulwark of the principles of the Republic—will thus count nance such open evasion of our organic law. If a State has the right thus to transfer the claims of its citizens against a sister com monwealth to itself for the purpose of bringing action against that commonwealth, then the aforemen tioned clause in the Constitution might as well be wholly expunged, since it virtually becomes, at once, of no force. The action of New Hampshire in this matter certainly has the appearance of being but a shrewd piece of sharp practice.— Savannah News: Shaving the Face. New Yor k Journal of Commerce Tbiity years ago a few persons of foreign birth appeared in the streets wiih hair on the upper lip, and were objects of public ridicule In 1850 some of the youog swells of the me tropolis began to wear moustaches, but for some time no clerk would venture to imitate them. In one case a merchant on Pine street, who had engaged a clerk for twelve months, or during good behavior, discharged him for wearing a full beard, claim ing that the adoption of the fashion laid the clerk open to dismissal un der the good behavior clause of the contract. About the same time a number of leading merchants gave no,ice they would employ nobodv who wore hair on the upper l>p. As late as 1851 the senior proprietor of this pap -r made his cashier shave off an incipient mustatche, and soon after brought his own son under the razor. In the church of Dr. Bethune of Brooklyn Heights who was suffer ing tr im a lame wrist allowed bis beard to grow rather than submit to a barber. The habit beginning in necessity, continued on account of the increase of comfort which it af forded, and the elder flaunted his beard before tne congregation con stantly, The result was laughable. Many of the brethern called upon the pastor to insist upon doing away with such a scandal as a full-bearded elder, He led them to his libra ry and showed them how some of the etrly fathers had pleaded against out'ing off the beard, “He turned to Lactantius, Theodore. Bt. Augustine and Bt. Caprican, who had strongly contended for the growth of th* whole beard. He quoted from Clement of Alexander the assertion: 'Nature adorned men, like a lion, with a beard, as a mark of strength and power. When one of the visitors asked him bow he would like it if t he clergy as-umed the mustache, Dr. Bethune referred him to a decision of the fourth council of Carthage (A. D. 252, can. 41), in which it was positively enacte 1 that a cleric shall not shave bis beard, and to a statement made by Lu her in dis cussing the subj ct. that 'all the Protes'ant martyrs were burned in their full b-ards.’” This did not settle the matter, for, consequently, rhe ladies of th« congregation put io their protest. But in a few months a venturesome lawyer let bis beard grow after the manner of the elder, and in a little wbile smooth shaven faces were no longer the rule, but were the exception. Alligator Esthesties. The alligator’s mode of obtaining a living is thus discribed: He is a lazy dog. and instead of hunting for something to eat he lets his vic tuals bunt him. That is. he lies with bis mouth oppn, and apparently dead like the possum, Soon a bug crawls into it, then a fly, then sev eral gnats and a colony of mosqui toes. Tne alligator don’t close bls mouth yet. He is waiting for a whole drore of things. He does his eating by whole sale. A little later a lizard will cool himself un der the shade of 'he upper jaw. Then a few frogs will hop up to catch the mosquitoes. Then more mosqui toes and gnats light on the frogs. Finally a whole village of insects and reptiles settle down for an afternoon picnic. Then all at once there is an earthquake. The big jaw falls, the alligator slyly blinks one eye, gulps down the whole managerie, and opens his great front door again for I more visitors, COLUMBUS, GA., FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 28,1882. Drew and Vanderbilt. GoM. "Oh, yes. I was a boy of his. a kind of a juvenile pet. Ooe day he asked me to go to Delmonico’e and have dinner with him. and his dinner consisted of an order for one. There being two mutton chops, he took one and I the other. That was the way he ate when be had to pay his his own food bill, living on the poor stuff and setting up colossal jobs. He then wanted me to sell him one thousand shares of Erie. It was at the time when there was a great con test for the Erie property. He told me to sell it for 142, but to get rid of it at as low a price as 137. The old man repudiated the contract, threw me on the brokers, and flnuliy man aged by squatting and begging to get rid of his stock at over 240. On another occasion, years afterward, I had learned a point on Like Shore, and went into his office and asked him to buy me a thousand shares. He looked at me a minute and gave the order. I gave away the point and they began to buy all around the street, aud the first thing we knew that stock gave way and I was out $7,5tM). I found that old Drew had set the trap for us all, and I said to him, ‘Mr. Drew, you ougbn’t to have done that to me, considering that I was brought up to regard vou as my father.’ 'My son,’ said he, ‘you lay low now; let me get away with these other fellows, and I will make it up to you.’ He never made up one cent to me. He had not th* least con science. Alter he had failed he would sit by me in the St. James Hotel, with his eyes all full of tears, saying; ‘Gussie, I ought to have made you rich; I wronged you, Gussie.’ He spent his whale life scheming to get nob, cheating his body of good victuals. Religion was bis recreation. After one of his big rakes, when he had carried combustion and death to people he would softly murmur over, 'Glory to my soul: happy day?’ ” “Was Vanderbilt any better than Daniel Drew?” “Not a bit better. Drew was afraid of Vanderbilt, and rather looKed up to him. Vanderbilt rather liked Drew because he would toady. One day Vanderbilt was looking out of the front window of an office on Wall street, and be said to Drew : 'Do you see that young man by that lamp post across the street?’ 'Yes, Com modore, who be’s h*?’ ‘That is my son, Cornelius, said Vanderbilt; ‘now, iMr. Dtew, if you will take him down to the Battery and tie a tops around his neck and a stone to the end of ihe rope end throw him overboard and sink him well so that I shall never see him agin, I will give you $5,000.’ ‘Why,Commodore,’said old Drew, ‘what am m vou be’s; what a man you be’s.’ Vanderbilt hated every child be had ” continued my informant. “He put Bill Vanderbilt on an old farm on Staten Island, wh*re he could hardly make a living, designing <o keep himself there for life, and Bill used to go to a tavern in the neighborhood and play a little game of poker, and had to mortgage the farm for $6,000 to pay his d--bts. He had several children brn there, and one day the mort gage was foreclosed and execution was to be done next day. A man named Thorn went to Vanderbilt and said: ‘Your son is to be put out to morrow morning.’ ‘All right,’ said Vanderbilt, ‘that’s what I want him to be.’ ‘Well,’said the man, ‘his little children will have nothing to eat.’ ‘I don’t care anything about it,’ said Vanderbilt, he is a sucker, and I repudiate hin.’ ‘Well, sail the man,‘it will be public scandal that you have allowed your grand children to s'arve.’ Tills rather affected Vanderbilt, and he said: ‘You go and send my son here.’ ‘He is afraid to com«,’ said the man, ‘you abuse him so when he does come to see you. ‘Theo you come with him,’ gild the Commodore. He finally paid the mortgage. Ata later period a gentleman said to Vanderbilt: "Commodore, do you ever think what you are going to do with your money? You have kicked out Cornelius, and your son George is dead, and Bill is the only one you have left. It is no place for him on Staten Is'and. Bring him up and give him a chance.’ This was tbe beginning of William Vanderbi|t. He sent his old wife to the lunatic asylum because she fed her son Cor nelius, who, notwithstanding his fits, was a man of more ablilily than Bill. That boy was kicked out of the bouse because he had these fits, and was therefore repulsive to his father. Consequently he had to bor row money to get a living, and that habit once begun, clung to him, Vanderbilt was cruel to all bis chil dren, and to bis wife also. The be ginning of his fortune was bis wife, who kept »n eatingttouse at N*w Brunswick, where be ran a steamer and saved every penny, her two daughters waited on the table. One day Vanderhudteaid to her. ‘I be lieve I could get rich if I could get another steamer and run it myself. It will cost s3o'ooo. He did not know how much the old woman had, and she bad been afraid to tell him. She went and drew out of the savings bank the money she and her girls had put there, and let him have it, and there began bis career. He b»4 no gratitude to her, and while she was ill he was visiting a woman at a clairvoyant’s nearby his house, with whom he used to go rifling, and the wife had hardly been dead when the other woman’s effects, bag and baggage, were moved Into the house.” A Pittsburg Jury on “Futures.” AJ?ittsburg special to the Chicago Tribune says: A case of considerable interest to brokers in grain was de cided in the Quarter Sessions Court here to-day. Tne defendants—Bryan, McMullen and Gurfen, grain bro kers—were indicted for keeping and maintaining u gambling house, un der the act of 1860, which refers to games of chance, such as faro and keno, and the methods adopted by common gamblers. The testimony for the prosecution showed that the business in which they were engaged was about the same as putting up margins on oil and stocks. They deal in options, “futures,” and “puts” and “calls.” Considera ble int-rest was manifested in the case, from the fact that it involved the very importrnt question whether tbe grain brokerage business, or any other similar business of a specula tive character, is legitimate. The Judge, in charging the jury, merely reviewed the testimony, and left the question of speculation in stocks of any kind, or options, before the jury. The verdict as delivered decided that the defendants were not common gamblers. GENERAL CONFERENCE O ? THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, SOUTH. TO TAKE PLACE AT NASHVILLF V WERE FRUM TO-DAY—A SKETCH OF 1 E HIS TORY AND PROGRESS OF THE SEV ERAL GENERAL CONFERENCE— THR LINE OF DIVISION— THE PETERSBURG MEETING. Constitution, The ninth quadrennial session of the general c inference of the Metho dist Episcopal church south will con vene in Nashville, Tennessee. May 3, being tue first Wednesday in May, 1881. At the general conference field in the city of New York, May, 1814, then representing the whole Metho dist Episcopal church in the United States, the church was divided into two separate ecclesiastical bodies on a “plan of separation” agreed upon by the general conference. The oc casion of the separation grew out of the dposltion of Bishop James O. Andrews, D.D., from the episcopal office on account of his connection with slavery. A line of division was agreed on, and the great Methodist family parted north aud south. The southern division held a convention in tbe city of Louisville, Ky.. in 1845 and proceeded to or ganized an independent ecclesiastical body, under tbe name and title of “The Methodist Episcopal Church South.” THE FIBST CONFERENCE. The first general conference of the Southern church was held in tbe city of Petersburg, Va., May, 1846, The session was held in the old Union street Methodist church, near Jar ratt’s hotel, now occupied by a con gregation of colored Methodists. At that first gsaeral conference Bishops Boule and Andrew—tbe two bishop who adhered to southern Methodism —presided. The conference was composed of 97 clerical delegates from fifteen annual conferences in tbe southern states. But few of the men are now living who were members of the general conference of 1846. The great pulpit orator. Rev. Henry Bascom, of Kentucky, and that wonderiul Iman tne Rev. Lovio Pierce, D. D., of Georgia, together with such men as 'he Rev, \Vm. Gapers, D. D, of South Carolina; Rev. A. L. P. Green, D. D,, of Tennessee; Rev. HtZikiah G. L igb, D.D., of North Carolina, aud many others of kindred ability, now no more were members of that body. At that conference the Rev, R >bert Paine, D. D., then president of the LaGrange college, in west Tennessee, and tbe Rev. William Capers. D. D., of the South Carolina conference, were elected additional bishops in th* southern church. Bishop Paine is still living. Bishop Capers is dead. There has been a wonderful growth of southern Methodism since that day, now thirtp-six years ago. Then thete were but fifteen antjuall con ference In southern Methodism; now there are thirty-nine conferences. Then less than 2.oootraveling preach ers or regular pastors; now 6,804 Then but 355,000 church members, 150,000 of whom were negroes; now about 900,000 white members, BINOE 1850, The general conferences since that session have been successively held as follows: In 1850 the conference was held in St. Louis, Mo , at which Rev. Henry Bascom. D. D , was elected bishop. He lived but, a few months after his election. May 1854 the general conference was held in Columbus, Georgia, at which the Rev. Geo. F. Pierce, D. D. of Geor gia, Rev. John Early, of Virginia, and the Rev. H. H. Kavanaugh, of Kentucky, were elected hisuops. Bishops Pierce and Kavanaugh are still living. The conference of 1858 was held in Nashville Tennessee. No bishop elected. In 1862t.be conference failed to hold a regular session on account of the war. The conference of 1866 was held in the city of New Orleans, at which E*v. Wm. M. Wightman. D. D. LL. D., of South Carolina. Rev. D ivid S. Doggett, D, U., of Virginia, Rev. Enoch Marvin, nt Missouri, and the Rev. Holland N. McTyetre, D. D., of Louisana. were elected bishops. Bisnops Marvin, Duggett and Wihtman are dead. Bishop McTyelre is still living. Mav, 1870, tbe conference was held in Memphis, Tenn-ssee, at which Rev. J. C K*ener, D. D , of Louisiana, was elected bishop. The Rsv. James A. Duncan, D D, of Virginia, came near being elected, and would have been elected but for the teas m that a part of th* delegates from Virginia were unwilling to part with him as president of the Randolph-Macon college, and on that account only did not vote for him, in 1870. Tne conference of 1870 was the first at which there was an equal number of clerical and lay delegates. The venerable D’Arcby Paul, of Peters burg, Va., was a member of that con ference, and, as one of Dr. Duncan’s warmest friends, would not vote for him as bishop, bscause, as trustee of Randolph-Macon college, he did not see bow ne could be spared from the presidency of the college without irreparable damage to tbe fortunes, just then, of the institution. Oihers of Dr. Duncan’s best friends, clerical and lay, took the same ground, and barely defeated his • lection to the episcopacy. In 1875 the general conference was held in Louisville, Kv. No bishop elected. Io 1878 the conference was held in Atlanta, Ga. No Bishop elected, lijow the confer ence of 1882 will meef io a few days in Nashville, Tenn., at which, by common consent, not less than four, probably five or six, bishops will be elected. A CURIOUS FEATURE, A curious feature in the election of bishops is that no nominations are made. The conference spends ashort season in prayer and then proceeds to ballot. The drift of the vote points to the man. Probably two or three will be elected on the first ballot. The ordination of the bishops elect takes place on Sunday following ths election. It is not improbable that Virginia, Georgia, Maryland, Mis souri and Louisiana or Kentucky, possibly both, will be represented in the new bishops. This is conjecture from current opinion. In the general conference all the great connectional interests of the church pass in review, such as the missionary work.Uhe Sunday-school cause, publishing interests, educa tion, the administration of the bish-: I ops. conferences, etc. The general conference is tbe only legislative I body in the Methodist church, and is > at the same time the highest appel late court of the church. The ses sions usually last for about three weeks, sometimes longer. SHILOH’S CATARRH REMEDY.— marvelous cure for Catarrh. Dlptherla Canker Mouth, and Head Ache.
