TvThe opposition ol the Harvard board u verseers to Intercollegiate spoils has s-:.rred up a good deal o discussion.

It is announced that Senator Voorhces, at a reception to be given him by the In diana democratic club on the nth Instant, "will pay his respects to Mr. lngalls Inn milliner which ids friends say will alTord his audience great delight." As Mr. In galls will not be present to reply, Mr. Voorhees will havo everything his own way, and if he Is in any condition for speaking, he will no doubt have, a much better time than he did the other day in the Senate. As good a democrat as Ilcury Water son says in the i'onoii ; "I should bo en titled to no respect or credit If 1 pretended that there Is either a fair poll or count of the vast overllow of black votes In States where there is a negro majority." Isn't it an unnecessary expense and trouble to hold an election In a State where a demo cratic majority of 75,000 can be explained In this way, as it Is in Louisiana ? Why not accept the result of the democratic nominating convention and do away with the iarce of an election ' The decision of the Methodist general conference is that women are ineligi ble as delegates to that body under Its present constitution. The conlerence also voted to submit to the annual conferences an amendment to the rules of the church, which, if adopted, will admit women to future general conferences. In voting on the report, which was adverse to tho ad mission of women, the ministerial dele gates voted 15'J for and 122 against tho re port. The lay delegates stood 78 for and 70 against the report. A tie would have defeated it. The Ileal Vstutc llccard says : "The Dominion of Canada will spend this year a million and a half of dollars for seacoast defences. This is an equivalent to about $22,000,000 should the United States make corresponding expenditure for a similar object. Canada is also to expend $!,0UU, 000 lor improving its rivers and harbors, equal to nearly .50100i)1000 it similar woik was done in the United States." Yet Cou gtess hesitates to appropriate i2O,O0O,(UO for river and harbor improvements, when the government engineers say it would be wise to spend $lti0,lHi0,uiK) per annum lor several years to co.ne, increasing our fa cilities for transacting tho internal and external commerce of the countiv. The Massachusetts Hoard of Health had an analjhis made of a much advertised patent medicine, guaranteed in the adver tisements and on the labels to contain neither alcohol nor opium, and reeoni mended as a nerve tonic aud cure for nloo ho ism and tho opium habit. The analysis showed that the mixture- was made in 'arge part of alcohol and landauum and that ot the "triple extract" two table spoonfuls of laudanum weie found in a wine glass of the "es-ence," enough to kill anybody not addicted to the use of opium. It is no wonder that the takeisof the mill felt their "oats" for a time. Hut. the essence ought to be cla-sed among poisons, with Rough on Rats, and be allowed to be sold only on a medical presciiptiou. " It is a nation il disgrace that a state of public opinion on suoh matters should ex Ul winch can allow even the most rook ies, newspaper correspondent to dare tj intimate that the selection ot the clnel justice ot the United States Supreme Comt is to be alfected by a purpose to 'conciliate ' vefters of any race or class." So says an influential reliidoua weekly, tho Boston CmiiiicijiilUiiKilint. Hut un less many people ot tioth partus, in a posi tion to bo well informed on the subject, are entirely mistaken, President Cleve land's desite to conciliate a certain class of volets led him to lorego his own choice of a iiuiii u hose fitness for the position is conceded upon all hands, and to appoint a less known and less capable man. The Insh-Auieiican ilemociats vetoed Mr. Cleveland's choice; and he had not the backbone to put it through over the veto. Theietu al of Judge Cowing of New York to accept a pi a of guilty from an alleucd murdeier lemluds the New York Prcng of "tne Vermont man who many yeais ago pleaded guilty to a similar charge, because lie tbouuht the ovi eence against him wouli secure Ins conviction and he hoped thereby to gain a commutation ofsentence. Just before he was to have been hanged the man lie was charged witli mur deriug turned up alive and well." The nllu-lon of the, I'rexs, no doubt, is to the lamous case of Stephen Honrn of Helming ton. Hourii was tried, in IMS, and found guilty, on circumstantial evidence, of the murder of one Colviu, who had suddenly disappeared. The circumstances were strongly against Hourn, and under much pressure trom mends anil influential par ties, from the motive named, lie confessed the crime. Hut he biibiequently, after his conviction, withdrew ins confession, and got a friend to advertise in tho news papers for the missing man ; anil sure enough Cohin turned up alive. Having tried and sentenced him, ,tlie court even then would not release Houru ; but kindly granted him a now trial. Upon this the state's attorney entered a mil. pros , mid Hourn went free. The case is one ot the most notable ones in American criminal jurisprudence. Mr. lllaiiics Attiiudc. The story telegraphed trom Phila delphia to the eliect that Mr. Hlnlne's friends in Now Yoik had received directly from him an assent on his part to an ac tive and aggressive movement for his nomination, seems to have been purely Imaginary and sensational. Such a re consideration of ids purpose not to per mit the introduction of his name in the convention would bo likely to bo made known to .Mr. Whitlaw Reid of the Now York Tribune as soon as to any body; but the Tribune says the lory is "like the recent htull' about Mr. Maine's dread fill statu ol health, chitily bosh mere gouse-food." This is conformed by Chalr luai. Jones of the national lepublicau committee, who Mtid, on Saturday : "Air. Maine lias not decided to bo a candidate, lie has rot asked his irlemls to make an " I Ten i-p.i ill m l - ! I, , f. In V. i i. Ii MJV i. , I I - . , 'I, (i . 1 ' '. .:. .1 - i Hi I I. tin , ,.u'l .t is Uul true that ho will be on the ocean and out of the reach of tho telegraph when the convention meets." Mr. James P. Foster, president of the national league of republican clubs, said that ho knew absolutely nothing to war rant a statement of the character con tained In the Philadelphia Times, and that ho still believed that Mr. Maine- was sincere in writing Ids letter from Flor ence. Ho added the slgnlllcaut statement that he Eiipposed that he had met and conversed with as many delegates elected to the republican national convention at Chicago rs any one man, and that he had noticed that delegates alleged to be for Blaine were In all cases iinlnstructed and freo to vote as they should deem best. President Foster's remark certainly holds good in the ease of the Vermont delegates. In the Philadelphia yarn it was stated that the unexpected expression in his favor made by the convention in Vermont had been iulluential In inducing Mr. Maine to reconsider his determination not to be a candidate. Hut, as our readers know, the Vermont convention put foitli no exprc sioi. whatever in favor ot Mr. Maine's candidacy. There are various other bits of internal evidence that the story of the 1'hlliidclphlfi Tlmcn was a concocted af fair, simply "made to sell." It is not sup posed that Mr. Maine's Florence letter was written without careful and deliberate consideration, and if any further commu nication is received from him on the sub ject, it will doubtless be a realllrmatlon of his decision. 31 1 Puller's Record, Investigation of Mr. Fuller's record as a legislator in Illinois, before and during the war, reveals tho fact that ho was decid edly "coppery," as distinguished from pu tt iotic, in ills views of matters and things. He voted for a resolution denouncing the m.litary authorities for imprisoning C. L. V.illindigham. He voted against giving he soldiers ot Illinois tho right to vote while in the Held. He voted lor a resolu tion declaring agaiusc the further prose cution of the war unless the president withdrew his emancipation proclamation, aud on the Mb of January, lbC3, he intro duced in the Illinois House a resolution reallirming the declaration ot (Jen. Jack son, that the constitution cannot be main tained nor the Union preserved in opposi tion to public feeliug by the mete exer tion ot the coercive powers of the govern ment. These facts do not sustain the as sertion made in Mr. 'idler's behall m con nection with the announcement of ins ap pointment, that tie was a war democrat. Mf eouise it is po-sible that under the logic of events Mr. Fuller's views in re gaul to the war, have greatly changed, as have those ot Mr. Phelps and other men who lent no aid to the government in its time of trial. If Mr. Fuller now believes in the right and duty of tho government to protect itself against rebellion, aud spells nation with a big N ; and if it ap pears that he can be trusted to uphold the national authority in opposition to the doctrine of State riuhts as recent ly enunciated by some Southern statesmen, IncludiiiK as prominent a Southerner as Speaker Carlisle then his old record ought, not, perhaps, to bo laid to disqual ilj him for the very high and responsible nosiiii'u to which be has been appiint ed. Hut the case is certainly one reqn.r lug caretul examination; ami tu.it, no doubt, the Judiciary Committee of the Senate will give to it A howl has been laised against Mr. Kdnuinds, in cert.uu quaiters, because he it. repotted to have takeu the ground in the committee th it in a court evenly balanced on some questions of vital importance to the country, the at titude and probable action of the new ap pointee had liecome a matter of high im- tiotuU imp irtan-:;, and that his character and record ought therefore to be subject to careful scrutiny. Hut this wil not be likely to disturb linn and his republican a-sociates on tbe committee. Mr. Fuller, It is said, is not ready to take his seat at once. Tbe court at any rate will soon adjourn for the summer and there seems to be iio good reason why the senators should not take time enough to do their full duty as the constitutional advisers of the presi dent and as sharers with him in the re sponsibility of every such appointment. iiio Cost of a Strike". Tiieto seems to lie some dispute over the question whether the strike on tlieChica go, Huiilngtou and Quincy road is "on" or ''oil'." One tiiinu, however, seems to lie certain, and that is, that most of tho strikers are " oil," and not so well oft as they were before. If the strike is still " on," as Cliiet Arthur declares, all tho trains are "on" also, and runuing on time, so that in either case the strikers appear to havo emerged from the small end of tile horn. Tho causes of the strike and tho details of its progress are so well kuoivu that it is unnecessary to repent them, The Chicago, Hurlingtou and Qulncy engineers weie not getting quite as good pay, perhaps, as the engineers on some other line; but nine-tenths of a loaf, especially in dull times, is bef.er than no bread. Having throivu away their good positions, ami having lost two or three months' wagis, the stiiking engineers aie now trying to tet positions at any salary which may be fillViul. A recent estimate places the number of men who went out, on this one strike, and have hince been out of work, al two thousand. The treasury of the Mother hood is reported to bu well nigh drained by t lie drafts upon it, for the support of idle men, and several lives have been lost by violence winch was tho direct result of tho strike. On tho other hand, it is esti mated that its victory has cost the rail road company about .2,50u,loo. The losses to business men and to the travelling pub lic havo aggregated a largo sum. The Motherhood ot Locomotive Kngiuters has for ten years past held a higher position imd been more respected than any other labor oiganizatlon, because it seemed to bo devoted to mutual help rather than to Clouting disturbances. It will take the Hrufherhood years to regain the preistige which it lias lo,t by Its recent act of lolly. Chief Arthur declared soon after thostrike began that if it failed the Motherhood would disband. Hut this would perhaps be another loolish act, lor iu tho Held that properly belongs to such an organisation there is plenty of opportunity lor mutual aid and beucllt, w i hout encroaching on the rights ol others.

During all of next week at the Howard Opera Hotisa can be witnessed tlin mar velous performance ot Prof. 1), M Bri tol's Kqiicscurricttltim or humanely train wi horses, ponies and mules, sa in number all of which appear at one time on the stage.

The Baltimore Ttlnjram says Prof Bristol's hiities-currlculum, nt Ford's Grand Opera House, has been called ' mar vels of equine intelligence," and without ( otibtthey are.

Animuiilated Itrencl, Ammoniated baking powders- that 's baking powders in which carbonate of ammonia is uped as an Ingredient, and which exhale an odor ot ammonia when heated are classed by many eminent physicians and sanitarians as superior to all others. Professor Hassell, of London, who Is recognized as highest authority on the subject of tood hygiene, commends In the strongest terms the use of carbonate of ammonia as a learenlug agent, stating its great advantage to be iu its perfect volatl iity, which permits it to be, by the heut ot inking, entirely thrown into leavening gas whereby the bread is raised. The ex periment with heat would seem to indie ate the superior, not the inferior, value of such baking powder. The little heat that is imparted to it when held over a gas jet, lamp, or stove, stiflices to resolve the car bonate of ammonia Into leavening gas and throw It oil. The flist heat of baking, therefore, will effectually develop all the gas, thoroughly leaven the loaf, and ells sipate the gas-producing ingredients of a powder of this kind , and this is the higli est test of a perfect baking powder. Where other alkalies alone are used they are not Infrequently retained, unreholvtd, through the whole process ot baking, and remain an uuwholesome ingredient in the Qulshed bread. The carbonate ot ammo nla cannot be uied as a substitute lor cream of tartar. A. 1'. Weekly Tribune Pleasant Wedding at Sliulbiirn The wedding of Mr. Charles L.
