How to livo long without growing old is the subject of an interesting and curi? ous scientific discussion reproduced on tho fourth pago of this issue from Knowledge. Briefly, tho author's theory is that tho organic changes resulting In the de? crepitude of old ago aro due to thc gradual os? sification of the system ; and that a mode of diet serving to counteract thia tendency will delay the approach of tho ordinary infirmities of the aged. Nobody who bas reached middle life can fail to bc interested in tho remedies proposed. ? Letters were sent by Tm: TniBtTM-* abont n Meek ago, to tho offices of nil tho prominent lan \crs af this city and Brooklyn, and to many in vai ions parts of tho Stat*', Baking for brief expressions of opinion upon tho nd visaluht) and practicability of the codification ol Ott cominon law. particularly as embodied in the proposed Field Ctr-Code, now before tho Legislature. Tho views of judges havo also been sought. Mme thin 1,000 replies have been received, re? presenting all similes of opinion, and illili* sal lng in their spirit and character the deep interest thai is felt in tho subject. These responses have been carefully tabulated; and to-moirow Tiik Tann sk will publish tbe results, includ? ing a large number of the tersest and most in? teresting replies. The final act in the tragedy of the Jeannette expedition is ended. With tho last echo of the volley fired overtheir graves yesterday lb-Long and his dead companions passed into history. The man who hoped so much, accomplished so little, and died so heroically, sleeps well upon the snow-coven'd hillside, surrounded by live of tbOM brave seamen who shared bis fate. It seems bettor to think of his lying where " Of his ashes may bc made Thc violctsof his native land," than resting amid the honors of the region where heloet his life. The body of Ah Sim will go Huck to China, that of Collins will rest beneath the green turf of his loved boland. Dr. Ambler will be buried in bis native State of Virginia, and Boyd in PhOadelphii, Though those who suffered lind died together will thoa list rampart, every grave will tell ? tale of dar* tog devotion and -elf-sacrifice that will never be forgotten. The legislative investigations appear to have a very bad effect on the health of nome of the Democratic politicians. Under-Sherifl Stevens luis a severe attack, apparently, whenever the Assembly Committee cornea to the city. Colonel E, T. Wood, of the Corporation Conn*-' Fa office, la similarly -fleeted. Ex-Register Docherty, who carried away the public records ol thc Reg - office, i> in mhIi poor health that he bad to make a hurried trip to Cuba ; and ex-County Clerk Butler sough! the quieting atmosphere ol rimitla. lint a sufficient number remain to finnish sm.ic Interesting testimony. General Spinola, for instance, testified yesterday in direct contradiction to Hr. .John 15. Haskins on the subject of the conferen**. at Hr, Kelly's house just previous to Mavin- Ellson- nomina? tion. It ia unfortunate for General Spinola, however, that .Mr. Nichols and Mr. Crokei and Mi. Kelly hiive not been able to give any sin h positive evidence to sustain his wonderful memory. The wanlen of Ludlow Street Jail has a poor memory. Ile could not say positively that tho city bad not been charged for tho board ot prisoners who wen* paying $15 a week to the Sherifl. And probably when inquiry comes to bo mudc as to why the city wa. required to pay for sflver.platod ware, black walnut desks, etc., for tbe .iuil, somebody will have a treacherous memory. _ Tho resolutions adopted by tbe Republicans who met in eonferenee in Mott Memorial Hall yesterday will command general approval bj the pai ty. The first one demands that the character, record and political associations (>f tho Republican .candidates for President and vice-President shall bo such as to warrant entire confidence in their readi? ness to defend the principles of admini? strative reform heretofore Indorsed In Btate .md Natinii.il e.invent ions." The second and third resolutions repeat in substance Ute iirst one, adding " that no Interference wlththe free choice of delegates to the National Convention by Congressional districts should anywhere be tolerated.'1 The next resolution is tothceffect that representation In the National Convention should be based on tho Republican vote In the States and Congressional <1 i-st i i?-t s. Asimilar plan is now followed in this lind S'lino other Stat.-s in apportioning dele? gates to the State conveniioiis, and it li only fair that thc National Convention snould adopt the same system. The last resolution called for the appointment of a committee "to "pro", ide for the inteii hungi .md practical ex "prasaion of opinion In harmony with the "spirit of the foregoing resolutions; and to "perfect such organization as maj beneoea "saiy."' Auofluit in the direction of forming a permanent organization was opposed. It arould aproar to be wholly unnecesaary In car? rying out the avowed purpose oi the confer enoej which is to infiuenee the action of the Chicago Convention, and to lead it to select candidates in harmony with iho spirit of yes tertlay'a resolutions, THE QUESTION ABOUT SILVER Pa \ MES is lt may bc presumed that Assistant Tronsnrei Acton acted u|.official instructions, when he inquired of Clearing House Manage] Camp in regard to tbe effect of silver payments through the Clearing House, lint the alarmists who, for the sake of influence on tho stock market, orfor other purposes, strive to create J the ii.lpn salon that the inquiry is a prelude to | settlements in silver bj the Tieasury, have <n tiiilv misunderstood 01 misrepresented the matter, it is sate to say thal thc iinjuiiv has a very diih lent nu aning and points to ;i din. i' iii ll -ult. Mr, Acton i> personally wi ll acquainted witb thc leading bankers in this city, meets them in dall] intercourse, and has nol the least occa? sion te go to the Clem ing House foi information on the matter in lines'imi, miles, that Informa? tion wai desired for official ute, 'Jin- Seen tarj ol tho Treasury, too, iiin i- conscious of any lack ot information on the subject, certainly knows Josi when to get it, anti lins such personal relations with prominent bankets and ba men of this eily that he emili, obtain all desired Information without difficulty. But the opinion of individual-, which Beeratary Folger might accept with entire confidence as an expression of the judgment of the business community, might not bu _o accepted by others, ll' Beere tory Folger has caused Inquiry to be made, it i therefore presumably becasc he ? [shesan official and authoritative statement of tbe judgment of the bankers of New-York, through theil organi? sation, .Mr. Folger must know without a king what that judgment is in regald to payments in silver, We asssunc that ka is not Ignorant; that ho knolls it to be the almost unanimous, opinion ol business nun ami bankers that commercial disaster ol the worst and moat extraordinary hind would Instantly and Inevitablj folion .1 refusal oi the Qovaramont to paj goldoa de ' maud. Then. i_ wue purpose, ami wo .te only one, for which he may wish an official and an thoritativo statement of this opinion. Ho maj with entire propriety communicate it to Con gross, earnest ly recommending suspension of eil vcr coinage and of the issue of silver ce. tificatei before this session ends. Tho Secretary hat properly and wisely recommended such uctior in official reports, but these have beea forgottoi iu the pressure of business after a session hai begun. His recommendation*- have been reiter? ated with carncstm-shy Mr. l-urchard, Directoi of the Mint, whose zeal for renioneti/atimi ol silver was conspicuous when he was a nicmbci of Congress, and who now urges suspension ol coinage, not aa a believer in a gobi standard, but because he sees that cont inned coinage ol silver by the United States is the greatest ob Stade to international efforts for the leiuoneti ration of silver. A bill for suspension of coinage is now about to be considered In Congi ess. It would b< most timely and appropriate if the Secretary ol the Treasury should earnestly urge favorable action thereon. In some special communication to Congress, the Secretary could appropriately set forth the opinion of thc business men of thil eity, as officially expressed through the Clear? ing House, and the reusous given for appre? hending great disaster if tho Government should ever be compelled to refuse payments iu gold. Unless members are attogethi r reckless, they will not lightly incur tho responsibility ol producing such a disaster. The emergency, though it might arrive this very year, docs not now seem at nil near at hand. The Treasury has in hand 1224,173,--. in gold coin and bullion, against.which there aro outstanding f81,6-?.450 ingold certitl catcs, leaving over |142,000,000 in gold available for other obligations of the Govern? ment, Though |40,000,000 should be taken from the Treasury by some unforeseen foreign demand?and cireumstances do not now indi cate that any such demand is probable?the Government would still bc able to meet all its obligations in gold. But it is not the ll BS prop? er for the Secretary to urge immediate provis? ion to avoid ii disaster which may come when it is bust expected, mid which must eomc sooner or later if the coinage of superfluous silver continues. LLLITEBACY ASH EDUCATION, Representative Willis has prepared a tabb* showing the extent ot illiteracy in the Union, aa an aid to his bill providing for Federal nssist anio to education. His table show s that In the thirty-eight States there are 1,871,217-.iter? ate \<>tei's, The pinpin timi of thc-BC ia, of course, largest iu the South, though many Northern and Western Btatea show Illiterate majorities, But while it may be desirable to ext< nd and fortify the existing system of public ? d neat ion, it is nol sale to trust too Implicitly to tbe sur? face indications of snob tabular exhibits. Too much stress may easily be put upon the signifi? cance of the division Into literate snd illiterate i, In the past wc have been apt to reason as though reading and wilting nude sill the difference between civilization and barbarism. Hut experience teaches that Illiteracy may co? exist with strong intelligence, with sound pa? triotism, with thrift and temperance, with enterpi lae and Inventive genius ; iu short, with all the highest and most eesentia] virtues af citizenship. In tho same way experience teaches that literacy may co-exist with weal-, intelli? gence, absence of patriotism, proneness to law? lessness, social bigotry and prejudice, and most of thc defects ami vices which tend to check progress. Illiteracy In tho Smith ls of two hinds : that of the negroes and that of tho ?? pom- whites"; nnd that of the ''poor whites" i* the wor.-t, be? cause ii goes with a voluntary degradation. Tho Southern negro, however, ls ambitious. Give bim tim opportunity and ho will elevate him? self, 'i'lii! subsist) tu !? question dot i not n-tanl this class. It neods mostly intellectual stimu lin. The same maj be said of the illiterate class in the rural districts of the North nnd West. It is not th.- strojggle for existence that hold, tin in back, but probably indifference due towan! of reflection. The most difficult prob? lem is that of the urban Illiterate, and this can only be effectually solved by snob mtonsureon recognise the necessity of putting the body at .ase before ministering to the mind. To talk j{ i (I ural ion to people who ca ti not with all tin ir .Aorta appease the pangs of hunger, must be s mockery. Bul Ifs perception of the breadth ot this question bails to an admission that there ire things more dangerous than inability to read and Mite, and things which much more irgently demand reform, the public discussion >f the subject will have produced some good ra -nits. __________________ PIT! NOM EN 11. WEA Till B. There can be no doubt that the breather of the present year, all over th! continent at tenet, bas lat n mai Ked by unusual disturbance-, ami, to kvhatevei Influence due, these di turbanees must [orin the subject of spei illation and conjecture. In regard to the flooda which have devastated he < min Vnll. jr, there is reason to believe that some ot the agencies producing themare or ia ve been under the con ti ol of man. The eckless destruction of the forests must tend to iggravate all th.od phenomena, and In tho tame waj must cause thc too rapid draining of he watetsheds affected, so that in the dry sea ion the water .apply will f..ll abort. Tho lest nu ti vc storms in the Mississippi Valley mid tn the Pacific Coast In the San Gabriel Valley ire less easi! j traced. Tornadoes in the Smith it the i nd ol the winter season have indeed oe rurrcd frequently, but seldom iw nevei so ex eiisivel\ and destructively as this year, Even if we are dh posed to adopt thc 'theory if Blasius, that tornado!.- are alway ? the accom i.iiiiiiii nts of southeast storms, and are the eMultsof pei iili.u conjunctions between two ontending air-currents and favorable conflgu ations of the earth, surface, we sin.nhl still be t a loss to explain tho numbci and violence of hi si- occurrences without postulating some em i,il disturbing influence such aa might bi mimi in the climactical manifestation of yclicsolar phenomena. It iafurtbei evident bal pow iiiul electrical forces were at work In he Southern tornadoes, as shown not only by !n rinking luminous effects accompany lng them ut by the severe hail-storms which occurred uiing their progress. Tin Pai Iflc Coasl floods, &used evidently by thoei sudden exaggerated dn-storms locally called ''cloud bunts,*-1 arc ni lose phenomenal than the Smith, m disas irs; and all these things together appear to ul it ute u cm ni it ion of excitement and disturb mo in the atmospheric currents so marked ad exceptional as to Justify the suggestion of une special and abnormal agency, Tho meteorological observations of which a h va-t quantities are being taken have cer linly not yet justified the pains and e.\j.i*n -e of nil collection. Perhaps one reason of this i.-, kat suggested by Blasius?namely, that to ob lin any knowledge concerning storms which ill he of scientific value, it is necessary to beerve Individua] storms from beginning to id, mid it is of little OSC lo take pi nodical in - rumental observations without regard to the M. nd ji,tini., io c, ap<.il., ol particular storms, Jiu collection o* m.isms of amtoorelogieal ti-ei vutiou* ___, ja .act, koa dcm-C-U- by j many men of sclonce, and with apparent reason. It may bc that we shall never attain such knowl? edge concerning the formation of whirlwinds, tornadoes omi cyclones as will enable us to avoid their destructive effects, but it is cer? tainly not unroaaoiiab-0 to expect that meteoro? logical science may some day bc able to give such local warnings in these eases as will pre? vent the SSS I ill UH Of life which has hitherto bein their worst 'accompaniment. It is also possible that a careful examination of tho abnormal weather of the present year over large ai eas may afford dato for new and mote conclusive theo? ries in regard to the relations between sun? spots and telluric phenomena. THE row ER OF CHARACTER. Last week the cable brought a glowing pie ture from the heart of Africa. One unarmed Eng- I lishman, who had traversed without a guard a i thousand miles of desert beset with fins, drew near a city whare a weak Egyptian garrison trein blid at vague rumors of theapproaefa of many thousand savage warriors. "The natives went "out by the thousands to meet him, anil kissed fahis feet, and hailed him Bolton of the Soudan. " And lie answered, I come without soldiers, God " nilling:, to redress thc evils in the .Soudan. I "will not tight with any weapon but justice. "There shall be no more Uazouks." "Then " Gordon publicly burned at Khartoum the tax " buoks, tho whips and tho whipping posts." At his word. Central Attica is revolutionised. Ciiiro telegraphs to London : "The tnfluenee of "Gordon with tho Arabs is so great that " Khartoum is now safe without troops." Tho rescue that all England could not have given in timo was brought by ono man armed with justice only. Before him, Egyptian greed and oppression, and Moslem fanaticism, alike .shrink bath. '? Tho Arabs say,'1 a dispatch reads, <; that Gordon gives them mme than Kl Mahdi could ofter." These an savage.**. Hut even with tin rn, ono man who speaks truth, aird does justice, and preaches Christianity in his aits, proves more powerful than all annies. 'ibis century luis not presented a grander sight. The lofty courage ol'tin; milli, and his sublime reliance upon simple justice and his own proved character to sway the nets of multitudes- how they contrast with the bom? bardment of Alexandris ! When has there been a finer exhibition of moral power 1 Four years bad elapsed since he hail been In Central Africa. When be started, England trembled for his life; "the natives would probably have forgotten him." No. Justice i> an ran* a thing that Africa doesnot forget it, Thia man bad mn e ruled in the Soudan with such wisdom and such goodness thal bis w uni has power, ?' Thi re sh.ill be no mme Barooka." The doy of the hirelings and plunderers, who rob once for thc Khedive and twice fm thc_-s*_ves, is over. < inly one matt hail the power to make England comprehend that thia was the thing necessary In the Soudan. Happily for herown honor, England had sen! that man to make justice .siipit me, and. though the right thing was tardily done, it waa done nt laat. Had Gordon nnd Justice gone earlier to the Nile, brave men need nut have died. It mus! lem.liii a reproach to thc British Government that it did not take, months ago, the one step that was necessary to restore peace in the Soudan. Greed timi cruelty, plunder nnd eiime. hare been tolerated too long under the she Itel of the Uiitish Hag. Foi it has been true ever since Aiabl first revolted that England has been responsible fer what happened in Egypt arid in tho Soudan. The responsibility is now acknowledged] and Christian nations may well rejoice that England at hut honors thc Christian faith by -ending truth and justice tu tho Moslem world. TBE METHODIST GENERAL COBFEBENCB On the first of tho coming May tho General Conference of tim Methodist Episcopal Church will meet at Philadelphia. Representing as it does a membership of almost eighteen hundred thousand clergymen and lax men, this eliiit st in iii ical body of the great Methodic denomi? nation would attract to itself attention at all times. Bot the coming conference will be es i" <i:.i!v interesting-rona the fact that several new bishops are to be elected, iii addition to the appointment of th<* tegul,ir quadrennial offla i >. Tho meeting of this body is alwsys a source of considerable anxiety to Methodists ; for besides emitioiling the offices of ti Hst anil honor ia the Clim eh, it controls absolutely all legislative power, there being only nix pointe as to which Ita voice alone is md supreme and final. And, although the oonservatism of tha Conference is proverbial, there ls always the possibility that Important or even revolutionary measures may bo adopted. At present no burning queston is before tho Church. Last full there was a very general dis? cussion concerning the proposal, whieb is not nt iill new, to modify the itinerant plansous to give the bishops power to reappoint ministers to the same charge annually as often os tho best interests of all concerned demanded. The general debate, and the census of ministerial opinion whit h waa taken ia difierent localities, did not reveal any general dissatisfaction with tho present limitation, although a minni ity wiro in favor of adding a year or two to the pn enl tenn, and a still smaller minority desired tho limitation removed altogether. This may bc the coining question, but tho Philadelphia General Conference will probably not b. called upon to deal with it decisively, It is not unlikely that a sharp debate will tuko place on what is called the ''caste policy" in the Booth, where in several Statea the conferences of the Church are divided on the color lino, lt trted, espet lally In New-England, that tho providing of separate schools and seminaries lui whit) ''imi bhuk pupils, and tin* existence of separate conferences and churches, show that the Northern Chnreh is receding from tbs giouud it occupied prior to 1 s7t:, and ls becom? ing in reality as much a caste church as is the Methodist Episcopal Church Booth, Tho oe : fej tbe discussion of this subject may be given by a proposal tn change tho name and ? onatitution of the fret dmeu's Aid Boch ty, so that it may sen e the educational needs of both races equally, Tho last General Conference lt authority to assist white institutions a lu re it could do so without Injuring the Inter? ests of tho colored sobools, The General Con? ference may be asked to reunite the divided conferences on eoonomlcal as wi ll ii** on anti caste grounds, but the sentiment must be very .stnmg to turn the present current. It is quite certain that there will be an elec tion of bishops, The Uart General Conference, four yi ara ago, chose four, of whom one, Bishop (j. 0. Haven, ls dead. Bishop Peck has pi "-'I away more recently, leaving two vacancies, while at leant two of tho Hoard are in poor health, ami the senior Bishop, Matthew Simp .oii, ls beling the weight of yean and constant work, lt seems to be a settled policy not to elect li wer than throe at one time. Either timi* or four now bishops will bi mule nt Phila? delphia, Moto than ona 'half oi the eonferenoes have elected theil deiagateato the General Confer? ence, Tha npiing Con fe! elli on, which an* chiefly la tho Baal snd Booth, me uni ting one aller aUiothcr. Thc elcctiou* ol thc lialtiuiore, the Philadelphia, tho Newark, the Hew-York, the New-York East and thc New-England con? ferences may chango the present outlook some? what, or rather show more clearly who the third nnd fourth men, if four should be elected, are likely to he. Tho two men whoso election seems to be generally expected are Dr. John II. Vincent, the Sunday School Secretary, and President Nindi*, of the Northwestern Univer? sity, at Evanston, 111. Dr. Vincent is ividely known as having done moro to perfect the pres? ent Sunday School system than any other man, but ho is more widely known as the originator uml manager of tho Chautauqua Assembly, and nf lim manifold interests which centre in that enterprise, Ha baa an unusual degree of ax endive ability ; though a zealous Methodist he delightain fraternising with other denomina? tions, by whom he is inltl in high esteem ; and his meeess In the pulpit anil on the platform is such that he rarely preaches or lectures without a largo and inti rested audience. President N'inde is a chaste uml pleating speaker, a man of dignity of character and a successful educa? tor. Both Dr. Ninde and Dr. Vincent are in thc prime of a vigorous manhood.' Among others who aro mentioned are Presi? dent Hutt- and Professor Upham, of Drew Theological Seminary, Dr. J. If, Hockley of Ute Chrittian AdromtB, Dr. A. S. Hunt, of the Ameriean Bible Society, and Dr. W. F. fcfalla lieu, of Boston, If Dr. Vincent is made bishop, it is highly probable that Dr, J. h. Hurlbuf, of Plainfield, N. J., will succeed him ai secretary ol'tin* Sunday School Union. The editors end book agents and iiii-i-iimary.ecrcta.io_ will prob? ably be re-elected.
