During the Methodist confer ence which was held iu our city, aud which all of Florence enjoyed, here were some good things said, lev. A. Coke Smith in his ad dress at the Baptist church told an anecdote of a good old Episco- jal lady who chided him upon one occasion as being a seceder and legged him to briug the Method ist church back to the fold. Ho replied that it would never do, as the Methodist 70,000 strong would control and turn out the 5,000 or 5,000 Episcopalians for worldliness, and she would have no church. An Episcopalian who heard the remark said he would have liked to answer it by the anecdote told him by Hon. Bob Aldrich to the effect that there was a party to be given in his neighborhood, aud the gentleman of the house met an old negro by the name of Ned, and the following converMatiou ensued: “Uncle Ned, I am going to have a dance at my house and I want you to come with your fiddle and play fnr us, and bring the other boys with the banjo and flute and we will all have a good time.” Uncle X* d—“Can’t do it Boss can’t play for dance; Methodist church don’t allow it; turn me out.” “Why uncle Ned, you don’t mean to say they will turn you out for playing the fiddle.” Uncle Ned—"Yes Boss most par ticular about fiddle and dunce.” “Well, Uncle Ned, what about lying.and stealing?” Uncle Ned—“01 go *.iy Boss can’t exp<ct to break up de whole church.” A Letter Fr»m ilaBRacluuetto About a«ra|>h in the TlmeR-MeMengei MP« The clipping mentioned ia the letter published just below was taken from the Times-Messenokr.
