In order to keep ahead of St.
Paul, Minneapolis parties are
about to erect a building twenty
ciht stories high. The man
who walks to the top lloor of
such structure will naturally
look around to see where the
angels are.
They say that Daniel Web
ster proposed to Miss Fletcher
while aiding her to unravel a
skein of thread. "Grace." he
remarked, "we have been unty
ing knots; let us see if we can
not tie one which will not untie
in a lifetime." This is given as
a pointer to timid young men.

Zion's Herald, a
Sitfthodist newspaper of Doston
resent the statements which are
afloat as to what the "Methodist
denomiration" is to do in the
presidential campaign, and sa-s:
"The Uishops have no authority
in the matter, nor would they
control the action or the hum
blest voter. Indeed there is no
unanimity of opinion among
the Bishops in the pending cam
paign. The individual Metho
dist, therefore, is as free in his
political action as the Episcopa
lian, Oongrogalionalist or Bap
tist. In fact the majority of
Methodist voters are republi
cans, a respectable minorityjare
political prohibitionists, and a
smaller proportion are loyal
democrats. The Methodist is a
political freeman, and will con
tinue to exeocise his freedom."
