The following testimonials sel forth its excellence and standard qualities Navy Department, Itureau of Medicine and Surgery, February 3, 1883. SIR In compliance with your direction I have made a full examination of the food pre and paration known as "Chili-con-Carne," iiave to report that in nutritive value il holds the same rank as the best preparation of canned beef, while the combination of the fruit of the Chili, a plant possessing aromatic and stomachic properties, confers valuable savory qualities upon the meat. I consider the preparation, therefore, to be eminently adapted for use under circumstances in which it is important to have a large amount of alimentary matter in small bulk, free from risk of putrefactive changes, and always in readiness for immediate consumption.

London, May 26 In the house of mosn this evening, on Sir Wilford I.awson, radical, protesting against the liberal govern- speech against the change, and said that to change the name would appear as if the church was ashamed of her record. Dr. Miller advocated the change because that in eastern counties the word "South" had its bad effects and was the means of keeping a large number of people from joining the church. When that prefix was' stricken out. the church would increase more rapidly in membership than ever.

Dr. Anson was not in favor of an indefinite postponement, but was in favor of sending petition to the annual conference, because he believed if they did that it would be defeated. The line between the two divisions had not been obliterated, and he believed a change would do no good. Judge Whitworth favored the change, because the question on which a representation was based was dead, and he thought if the name was changed four hundred thousand ne- gros in the south would join the church, but would not do so as long as it retained its present name. Dr.

W. R. Krown, of California, wanted the name changed because it was objectionable to the western people, Dr. Kelley favored a change' on the same ground. Dr.

Potter opposed a change, and said the logic of the whole arcument meant simply to go boldly hack into the Methodist Episcopal church. They could not obliterate their history without going boldly to the other side, and this he was opposed to. Dr. McFerrin read the following in lieu of the report of the committee, and moved Its adoption, Resolved, That the matter of a change of the name of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, to the Episcopal Methodist Church, be referred to the various annual conferences by the bishops, during the next four years, and that that they report the result at the next general conference in 1886, and, further, Resolved, That the name of the church, if changed, shall be Ihe Methodist Episcopal Church of Amnrica. Dr.

J. E. Kvuns, of Georgia, moved to amend by making the name Methodist Episcopal Church of Christ. This amendment was nol accepted. The substitute then prevailedby a rising vote of 105 to 40.

May The intelligence of the decision of the Court in baric, overruling his appeal, was conveyed to Guiteau a few minutes after its announcement in court, and was received by him with stolid indifference.

He said to the guard who gave him the tidings that he had notanticipated anything else. "My dependence is placed in President' Arthur," he said. "I made him what he is, and he can't iff ird to go back on me." The prisoner was reluctant to converse on the subject any further, and was soon left to his owm thoughts. Within the past two weeks the assassin has permitted his beard to grow, and his face is covered with stubble, which causes hinvto present a very unattractive appearance. He was asked by a visitor why he did not shave, replied that his barber a fellow prisoner, had been discharged a few weeks ago, and he did not know any one capable of filling the vacancy.

Gen. Crocker says that Guiteau is afraid to trust himself with a strange barber for fear that ANOTHER ATTEMPT will be made on his life.

Warden Crocker said that the preliminaries could be arranged at short notice, the only article to be prepared being a rope and adjustments of the spring attached to the scaffold. This gloomy instrument of death is in a direct line with the cell occupied by the condemned man, being in the upper end of the north corridor, while his cell is the first in the south corridor.
