the fact that acommitteo of seven judicious

presented his letter from the churches upon
the Pacific coast,giving a tlatteringaccount
of the state of things in that region. Thero
are ten churches, including 210 members,
and Sabbath school scholars; there are
five public schools : the church property is
worth $20,000, and the congregations
good. Most of this state of things has
been brought about by tho efforts of our
good brother Ward. Tho church in that
region asks two favors of the General Con-
fercuee. 1st. To be sot off into an Annual
Conference. 2d. Tho ordination of a
Bishop to reside in that region. Tho for-
mer has been granted—the latter is under
consideration. I'pon tho conclusion of
the rending of this document, by motion
of John M. Brown, Rev. T. M. D. Ward

Mk. Editor :—This week has been one
of great excitement here, in consequence
of tho Japanese visitors.
The Eastern Star Lodge of Grand Uni-
ted ()rder of * >dd Fellows, celebrated their
eighth anniversary at Israel Church. The

What are our yoang Men Doiafl
Ma. Editor :—In yoar issue of May 19
"A Shiloh Observer" asks,M What are our
young Men Doing ?" and he might with
much propriety have asked " our young
women" too. In all our large towns and
cities hundreds of intelligent, well-educa-
ted and able-bodied young men and women
are blindly and stnpidly aiming at nothing
nobler than to live an easy, foppish, flirt-
ish " butterfly life," and criminally wasting
precious time and talents in scene# of
gayety, frivolity and extravagance, heed-
lessly indifferent to the many exemplary
teachings daily presented by the industrial
classes of (he dominant race, and conse-
quently keening the edge of the white
man's charge that " we are not de facto an
useful element in a community.'*
Admitting that there is much force in
the argument that the white men's national
enjoyment of nil the righto and immunities
of citizenship (to ua nationally denied)
offer them every inducement to forsake
home, kindred and friends, and faithfully
braving the severest rigors of climate,
overcoming the seductive allurements oi
the home circle, and sturdily facing the
numberless unforeseen discomforts of a
new home in the wilderness or on the
prairie, where some day, towards the end
of a well-spent life of toil, sacrifice and
vexation, official honors and influence are
held forth as his crowning reward ; while,
per contra, the Anglo-African, displaying
the same amount of skill, energy and
thrift, sees no goal abinitio to soften down
and make endurable his lightest burden, or
to fire his slumbering ambition, aside from
the satisfaction experienced in disposing
of his marketable products at remunerative
prices, to a community which denies to
him or his offspring the privilege of learn-
ing how to build the house that shelters
him, make the garments which clothe him,
and (in part) how to profitably produce the
food required for his daily sustenance.
Yet notwithstanding all these discourage-
ments, our short comings as a people are
actually inexcusable until we radically
change our tactics, cease ruinously aping
the fojpes and extravagancies of our op-
pressors, and turn heartily to imitating
their economical and industrial examples

The General Conference nt Pitts-
bur*.
Mr. Editor:—On entering the church
in which the General Conference of the
African Methodist Episcopal Church in the
United States is now sitting, at eleven
o'clock on yesterday, my mind was most
agreeably impressed with the scene pre-
sented. Immediately in front, on a plat-
form moderately elevated, sat the three
Bishops, highly respectable and venerable
looking men, with the two secretaries of
the Conference at extremes, right and left.
On the floor at either side, and in front of
the platform, sat the members of the Con-
ference, of whom I can only say, at this
moment, that, as a whole, they are highly
creditable in appearance to the Con-
nexion, whose best interests they have met
to serve.
Leaving this highly crcditable display
within the "bar' to be described in detail
when more at leisure, I proceed to notice
the assembly without the "bar." First are
tho seats of all ministers not members of
the Conference; next after these generally
sits all gentlemen haviug business with the
Conference; and after these sits all visitors
and spectators. Yesterday being the first
really fino day since the commencement of
the Conference, afforded the ladies an op-
portunity of showing their interest in its
proceedings; and if it equalled their num-
bers, it must be great, for there was a host
of them present—and allow me to add that

was very numerous, bnt, notwithstanding
