A Butlalo despatch saya : The report of the (/ommitCee on Organi/^ation for the next Ooaference of Charities and Correc- tiona was adopted to-day. Bishop Gilleapie, C/f Grand Kapida, Mich., waa elected aa I'reaident ; Or. U'Keilly, of Toronto, and four other Vica-Preaidenta were named. Tho next conference will be held in Ban Uiego, California. One of the moat in- tereating topics of the conference was dia- cusaed to-day by Rav. Oscar C. McGuUoch, of Indianapolis. He presented aa hia con- tribution, " The Children of lahmael, a Study in Social Degradation." Mr. Mc- CuUooh had upon the stage with him an immense diaj^raui showing the social condi- tion of thirty families through five generations, embracing 1,G'J2 persooa. Tho paper road upon tho subject was one of the moat interesting of the whole conferenco. 'X'he history of all these had been people fallowed up, covering a period of lifty yeara back. That history waa one of the most startling nature, and covered 7.000 pages in the records of tlia charity organization at ludianapolia. Th^re had been \'2l proati. tutea in the lot, and the illegitimate child. ren wero very uumeroua. The name lahmael was choi3n, as that family waa the most central. One man had a family of eleven illegitimtte children. There had been aeveral murderera in the group, and thievea without ii'iaber. They did not work, bat they lived by begging and petty thieving. They ar? generally diseased. The children die youn:;. Licentiousness charaoterizea all the men and women, and from tbia results mental weakncaa and general incapacity to wori.. and thia ia all met by the benevolent public with un- limited public and private aid, encourag- ing them in an idle and wandering life, and in the propagat'.o:i of similarly diaposed children. These and other grim facta were presented and dedactiona drawn from them. General uuchaatity characteri/^es them, and their instincts arc as low as brutes go. Tho 6j)eaker believed that public relief waa in a largo de- gree chargeable with the perpetuation ut thia stock, and what public relief fails to accomplish private benevolence eupple- ments. The so-called charitable people who give to begging women and children have a large ain to answer for. "It is from them," said Mr. McCuUoch, "that thia pauper element i^ets its conaent to exist. I'harity, so-called, covers a multitude of bios, and eei: la tlie pauper out with the benediction, be bountiful and multiply. Such charity has made thitt element ; haa bronghi children to tha birth, and enanred them a life of misery, cold, hunger and sickness- So-calied oharity joins pablic relief in producing still-born childreu, raising prostitutes, and educating orim- iuala-" Out of all these 1,''92 persons, Mr- McCalloch said be Knew of but one who had risen from them and had become an honorable man- Tm force of inherited parentism or pauperism drives them on with irri'siatibte force. "What can we do?" said the apeaker in conclusion. "Firat, we must close up official outdoor relief ; aecond, wo must check private indiacriminate benovolonoe or charity, falsely ao-called ; third we must grt hold of the children." .MKItCV FOR a ML'ICUEKKSj.

" Governor Hill heard tho plea patiently, though Ilia thoag'nts were plainly on the big bumh of letters whioh had accumulated in his absence.

A stranger, who had been stopping at tho houae for a few weeks, asked the proprietor how far it was lo Mount Uanior, which appeared to bo only a couple of miles dis. tant, although in fact it was nearly 100. Tho proprietor winked at tho bystandora, and aaid that perhaps it waa a mile away. The boarder aaid that he believed ho wonld walk out to it tor cxorciaa. The landlord encouraged the "tenderfoot," who, after borrowing the proprietor'a tine tield-glaaa, immediately atartod. The joke was too rich for the hotel man to keep, and ho treatod all hands. But the pedestrian did not return.

This may seem a large sum for a small article, but it was virtually paid by a man of great resources who had an ingeniona expedient for saving the horsellash of tha world. About ten years ago a veterinary surgeon who was with the army in Bombay found that the excessive heat of that coun- try caused the tops of tha horaea' necks to sweat freely and thereby produce sores under tha leather cjUara. All the expe- dients that he could suggest were of no avail to remedy thia atate of things. One- fourth of the horses used for draught pur- poses were laid up by what is called " sore neck." This "vet" in his younger days had studied chemistry, and he found that sol- pliate of ^inc was the beat and almost the only cure for horses' 'sore neck," but tha difficulty in applying this preparation lay in the fact that thohor^io had to rest during the times of the apiilication, otherwise the collar would rub i: olT and there waa no chance of the horas'a recovery. .V thought struck him that to in-ike a z'.iic pad and put it under the collar would at any rate prove au ameliorative, aui may be a cure. Tha man, tnough ingeuijus in his way, was much given to drink, and was looked upon by the officers of the army as a '• ne'er do weel" with bright ul-.'aa. While thia idea waa simmering in his mind and before he had put it into an ajtuai test he happened to be in a drinking b-ir.
