From Kingston Jamaica June &h

may be made good.

Jcdge is getting wider as they go down
on it, and I think they have sunk on
tlie solid ledge from three to three and
half feet. The entire ledge, as fit
uncovered, is perfectly speckled wr.

piece of rock weighing 1 pounds in

A stranger with no guile in his face,

storekeeper was still confident that j lie
had coats that would answer. "I am a
pretty heavy man," said Uie stranger,

Last summer while I was enjoying
aud fattening on the delightful aud in
vigorating climate of Oregon as well
as the grouse and mutton, fur both of
which I confess to a weakness tlie
weather ,va9 so intolerably lwt down
liere that my thermometer gt broke.
I am nibble therefore to tell you pre
ciselif how liot tlie weatlier is, and if I
were to nndenake to describe it, I
know I should fall so far. short ot doing
the subject justioe, as to give you a very
inadequate and unsaUsfactory idea.
Indeed, you couldn't appreciate it "no
how tor, while I was in Oregon and
receiving letters indicating a tempera
ture here of 94 degrees at day break, I
confess I "couldn't see it," nor did I
care to strsiu my imagination any more
than you will yours.
Just let me say this I am iu my
shirtsleeves, and otherwise more thinly
clad than was any one I saw iu your
State during tlie mouth of August, and
yet I am so uncomfortable that I am
a!most pining for a "Georgia uniform,"
less tlie spurs and shirt collar. Iu such
weatlier yon can veryeaily imagine
there's no fun in writing letter for a
newspaper, or doing anything else ex
cept drinking' iced lemonade or sorue
oUier cooling draught. But, I am al
most ashamed to croak since as fat a
man as Bishop Kavaijingh (wlio y u
liave seen and heard in Albany) has
been able to liold Conierence and per
form all the duties of presiding officer
during the day, aud then preach an
able and indeed I may say jtomerful
sermon at night, giving us the clos
ing one last night. I don't know how
iu the world he stands it, but I dare
say he is materially aided and sustained
by the thought of going to the Pacific
coast iu August. Don't I wish I was
good enough to be a Bishop and tnts
one! Jlow I'd maneuver fhr a fixed
assignment to duty an the the Pacific
coast! But, alas! a l I can do now is
to envy Bishop Kavauaugh, who will
be at Brownsville on the I5th of Sep
tember, and from there will come back
to California to hold two Conferences
in October.
Hie Bishop and his good lady, in
telling me the other day of their former

and were rejoiced to learn that boUi he
and Mr. Price had recently connected
themse'ves with Uie church. Tlie good
Bishop is glowing iu his praises of Uie
glorious Willamette valley, aud think
you are blessed with a climax unsur
passed, if not unequalled, iu the world,

fiedly. You wonder, no doubt, why I

Another turn of the wheel, bringing
about more complications. Yesterday
(Tuesday) Joseph Boeder "was arrested, j
charged with perjury. Price appeared
and made affidavit that he did not!
know Iloeder previous to 1872, and j
knew nothing about Tilton's house'
until recently. The Wrlt says reJ
gardiirg tlie Ixedcr-Price.leecher story,
the proof already iu the hands of coun
sel tor defense, it is alleged, warrants
the-gravest suspicion of a widely ex
tended conspiracy, which would include
the prii ej al m the suit and his most
pit niii.ei.t witnesses as aiders and aliet
tor. No charge, liowever, has been
made, nr will further evidence bo pub
lished till it has taken more complete
form. That already brought forward
is sufficient to show the statements ot
th Leder and Price are without
foundation of any sort, and deprives the
evidence of tlie slightest c'aim to credi
bility. Beside the liad character ot
Locder the chief points of the rebutting
evideitce consiM. in the fuel? that Loeder
was not working in Brooklyn or resid
ing in Brooklyn or New York in 18G9,
when he alleges the offense was com
mitted. His acquaintance with Price
was not begun until two vears later,
and tlie latter dejMiscs he was never in
