John Lothrop Motley.
The death of this distinguished
historian took place in London,
May 20. Mr. Motley was born in
Dorchester, Mass., April 15, 1814.
In 1831 he graduated at Harvard
College, then spent a year at each
of the Universities of Berlin and
Gottingen, then traveled rather
extensively. He afterward studied
law; but, having a preference for
literature, never practiced to s. very
great extent. Some of his works
are, The Rise of the Dutch Repub
lic; The History of the United
Netherlands; Life and Death of
John Barnevel, Advocate of Hol
land, etc. At the time of his death
he was engaged on a History of the
Thirty Years’ War. In 1861 he
was appointed Minister to Austria
and resigned in 1867. In 1869
he was appointed United States
Minister to England, but was re
called in 1870. He afterward re
turned Holland for a time, then
went to England, where he re
mained until his death.
Bless the “Golden Hours” of
midsummer! Pure and fresh as
morning dew, and bright as sunshine,
is the July number. From its watch
tower on the mountain tops calls that
wise little bird, its tutelary genius,
and there is no question about atten
tion and interest when we hear that
voice. The solemn old fellow brings
all his family to grace our national
jubilee, and every quill of every owl
of them is full of joyousness, earn
estness, and love for all of God’s
creatures, not excepting the toad—
an ugly one at that —but Hans
Christian Andersen could find jewels
every-where, even in a toad’s head.
We need not tell all about the
book; you will read it yourselves.
You will go to the “Fo’rt of Cbuly”
with Mary Hartwell’s “Hans,” sym
pathize with “General Peg and her
Staff,” give thanks to all the pleas
ant talkers, and, best of all, we
think your heart will hold forever
the memory of “Little Flashes,”
dear, brave little comet, whose light
went out in such love and glory.
Published by Hitchcock & Wal
den, Cincinnati, 0. Send to 110
Whitehall-street, Atlanta, Ga., for it.
Subscribers are coming in on “that
thousand,” but not so fast as we
should be glad to have them. Two
Hundred in a day would not disturb
us in the least. Send them on rap
idly, with the money.
Our semi-annual report for June
Ist is far the beßt which we have
made in five years, and we have no
doubt it will be as agreeable to the
Agents and the Book Committee as
it is to us in Atlanta.
We hope that every subscriber
whose subscription terminates with
June will immediately renew, and
hand his preacher the money, as it
will be impossible to get back num
bers if the matter is neglected.
Death has again entered the home
circle of brother R. 11. Waters, and
has taken little Mary, a promising
child of two years, who died on the
13th, after a brief illness. The be
reaved parents have our warmest
sympathies.
Our compositors are very much
annoyed by the bad manuscripts
which we are compelled to place in
their hands, not having time to copy
them, and, in fact, finding it difficult
to read them ourselves. A few of
our correspondents are faultless in
this particular. Brethren, please
write very plainly.
Southern people are informed that
there is not now and never has been
such an organization as “The Meth
odist Episcopal Church North.”
The Methodist Episcopal Church,
with a membership of one and a half
million, and spread over Europe,
Asia, Africa and America, we sup
pose is what is meant when the
“Church North” is spoken of.

RESOLUTION B.
The following preamble and resolu
tions were, on motion, adopted and or
dered to be published, by the Rock
ingham District Conference, Meth
odist Episcopal Church, held at Agnes
Chapel, Greenbrier county, West Vir
ginia, May 23,1877:
Whereas, the Christian sense of the
times and of the South demand such
fraternity between the Methodist Epis
copal Church and the M. E. Church
South as will tend directly to organic
union with each other; and whereas,
such a fraternity requires no indorse
ment of the past history of each other’s
denominations, in their distinctive fea
tures, nor any surrender of rights or
titles to property, but according to the
deeds, nor any transfers but such as are
indicated by the letter and spirit of our
Book of Discipline; and whereas, cer
tain parties of the M. E. Church South
have industriously, in their own inter
est, endeavored to make the impression
that the action of the Cape May Com
mission is final and compulsory, and
have thereby further prejudiced many
persons against our labors, and have in
some instances induced the courts to
regard the printed or written statements
of said Commission as a sufficient
ground to adjudicate suits against us, or
confirm trustees, without regard to our
Disciplinary mode of election, or our
non-appearance at court; therefore,
1. Resolved , The Cape May Commis
sioners’ report is subject to the action of
their respective General Conferences;
and further, our rights and duties as
ministers and members of the Method
ist Episcopal Church are in no wise
different from our Book of Discipline,
on account of the action of said Com
mission.
2. We see no reason, but much to the
contrary, why we should relinquish any
part of the rights accorded to us in our
church property titles, or make trans
fers for any object, or by any mode other
than our Discipline indicates.
3. We hereby respectfully protest
against any action of the courts respect
ing our church property, based upon
papers purporting to be from the Cape
May Commissioners.
4. We will allow members and minis
ters of the M. E. Church South to use
what of our church property is now oc
cupied by them whenever not required
by ourselves; provided that they bear a
proportionate part of the necessary ex
penses. S. Richardson, P.E., Ch’n.

Soldiers’ and Sailors’ National
Reunion.
Fourth Annual Encampment.
Headquarters, Marietta, Ohio, 1
May 23, 1877, f
To the Veterans of all branches 'of Military and Naval
Service throughout the United States:
Comrades. —Three annual encamp
ments of the National Re-Union have
been held at Caldwell, Ohio, the last
one having an average daily attendance
of 15,000, with 27 States represented.
The attendance last year demonstrated
that the gathering has outgrown the
Klace and accommodations. It has
een decided, therefore, to hold the
Fourth Encampment at MARIETTA,
0., SEPTEMBER 4th, sth, 6th and
7th, 1877, and the Executive Commit
tee hereby extend a hearty invitation to
all Soldiers, Sailors and Veterans of all
grades and branches of the service,
without distinction, to meet with us as
above. In this matter we know no
politics, no North nor South, but wish
to meet upon the broad platform of a
common and united country.
The most extensive preparations are
under way to provide for the comfort
and entertainment of the great gather
ing. The city has offered the use of all
public buildings, parks, etc. The Gen
eral Government and the State of Ohio
have voted us the use of artillery, tents,
muskets, ammunition, battle flags, etc.
The Ohio National Guards will gen
erally encamp with us, and Governor
Young, with staff, has accepted an invi
tation to be present, and review them.
This county alone will furnish a battal
ion of 800 to 1,000 men for escort and
camp duty. An immense camp will be
located near the city, on the bank of
the Muskingum River.
The President, all State Governors,
and leading civilians and military men
have been invited, and are generally
expected in camp. Correspondence had
with General Sherman and Cockrell,
[late of the Confederate service,] lead
us to hope that both, so far as they can
tell now, will be with us, and we hope
to announce others shortly.
The exercises will consist of artillery
salutes, brass band contests, dress
parades, experience meetings, sham
battles, etc.
A boarding bureau, on the Centennial
plan, will be established for those who
desire private entertainment. Those
who wish to go into camp should form
messes and bring blankets, etc., along.
We furnish shelter and fuel for camp
fires only, but will allow a few sutler
stores in camp, where supplies can be
had at reasonable rates.
The (Executive Committee will be
pleased to take charge of and return to
owners at the next Re-Union, any
relics of the late war .that holders may
be disposed to have returned. The re
turn of a captured sword by Major Estes,
of Texas, to Col. Archer of the 17th
lowa Regiment, at the Re-Union of
1875, was an interesting and impressive
ceremony.
Marietta can be reached by three
leading railroads and two navigable
rivers, the Ohio and Muskingum.—
Direct rail connection can be made
from Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati,
Baltimore and Pittsburg. The lowest
possible excursion rates will be pro
cured, and parties should club together
and write for rates from their respect
ive homes. Further information cheer
fully given upon application to the
Secretary.
Respectfully submitted,
D. P. Bosworth,
Chairman Executive Committee.
R. B. Hoover, Secretary.

Brother C. S. Long writes us from
Asheville, N. C., in the following

get my pro rata and have succeeded
in getting six. I herein send you
the list and post-office money order
for the amount of subscription.”

VEGETINE
Strikes at the root of disease by purifying the blood,
restoring the liver and kidneys to healthy action,
invigorating the nervous system.
Vegetine
Is not a vile, nauseous compound, which simply
purges the bowels, but a safe, pleasant remedy which
Is sure to purify the blood, and thereby restore the
health.
Vegetine
Is now prescribed in cases of Scrofula and other dis
eases of the blood, by many of the best physicians,
owing to its great success'in curing all diseases of
this nature.
Vegetine
Does not deceive invalids into false hopes by purging
and creating a fictitious appetite, but assists nature
in clearing and purifying the whole system, leading
the patient gradually to perfect health.
Vegetine
Was looked upon as an experiment for some time by
some of our best physicians, but those most incredu
lous in regard to its merit are now its most ardent
friends and supporters.
Vegetine
Says a Boston physician, “has no equal as a blood
purifier. Hearing of it« many wonderful cures, after
all other remedies had failed, I visited the laboratory
and convinced myself of its genuine merit. It is
prepared from barks, roots and herbs, each of which
is highly effective, and they are compounded in such
a manner as to produce astonishing results.”
Vegetine
Is acknowledged aud recommended by physicians
and apothecaries to be the best purifier and cleanser
of the blood yet discovered, and thousands speak in
its praise who have been restored to health.

WHAT IS NEEDED.
Boston, Feb. 13,1871.
Mb. H. R. Stevens:
Dear Sir—About one year since I found myself in a
feeble condition from general debility. VEGETI v E
was strongly recommended to me by a friend who
had been much benefited by its use. I procured the
article, and after using several bottles, was restored
