The salary of the clerk of 81. Luke's
Parish, London, is f600 sterling a year.
As there are patriots in England, as well
as in the United States, our readers will
not be surprised, on learning that this
snug little Office is regai ded with eyes
OF desire. Accordingly, on the 25th Of
March last, an attempt was made to Gust
the incumbent, and the scene as DESERT
bed in the British Press of the following
day, was most disgracetul: The election
lasted nine hours, and more alarming
and disgraceful tumult never occurred
in any church. 1T can only be compa-
red to the o. p. rows of Covent Garden
Theatre. Whistling, yelling, hooting,
beating with, sticks, and kicking with
heels, drowned the whole OF the latter

comes cold tits in state likely to alb
sorb the infection and receive the dis

as this disposes the system more readily
to receive the infections. IN attend

the air passes from the door or window
to the diseased person and any fire that
may be in the room, as the heat Of the
fire will draw the infectious yapour in
that direction, and danger would arise
from breathing on it. So says the Me-

Queer Notions number of Me.
thocists in Alabama have published, in
theTuscaloosa papers, the following pre-
amble and resolution. Columbian Star.
"We, whose names are hereunto SUBJ
scribed, being members of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church, and belonging to
Tuscaloosa situation, being informed
that several of the preachers Of the Me-
thodist church have, within the last year,
united themselys to the masonic ffater-
nifty, ard associated with them, which is
contrary to the custom and usage o. the
ministers and members of the Methodist
church, as far as our knowledge extends;
and being satisfied that the cause of God
and the sal, alton OF souls will not be
advanced by an union of that fraternity
with our society; nor can they be uni
ted without excluding majority, of the
most pious and deyout members OF our
church, VIZ. the females, aud our opin-
ion is that it is bad precedent to be set
or established in our church.
1--WE do therefore, Resolve--lst. That
we, as a society. and as individuals, will
not receive nor acknowledge any man
as our preacher, pastor, or presiding ell
der, who has joined that fraternity since
he has beer preacher, and continues
to associate with them either directly or
Indirectly.
Resoire---9d That if the preacher, APP.
pointed to this station for the year 1896
will not conform with what is required
by the first resolution that we will not
consider him as our stationed preacher;
nor shall we feel ourselves bound to de-
fray any of his expenses, nor pay him
his quarterage; nor abide by any OF his
acts which he may call official.
Steam Vessels. There is now con-
trivance employed on board Scottish
steamboat, which might be generally
adopted with great advantage in other
vessels of a similar kind BY the simple
motion of a small handle or index pla.
ced On table upon deck, in view OF the
man of the helm and of the master, of the
vessel, every movement which the en-
CINE is capable of giving TO the paddle
wheel, may be at once commanded.
The vessel may be moved forward or
backwards, or may be retarded or en-
tirely stopped at any given moment, by
merely turning the handle to the places
denoted by the graduations of dial
plate. No skill is required FOR this pur
pose; the master himself, or sailorun
der his direction, can perform the Office
as well as the ablest engineer. Thus
the confusion which frequently arises in
the night in calling to the engineer be-
low. is avoided, and any ambiguity, a
rising from the word Of command being
transmitted through several persons, en-
tirely avoided circumstances which
may lead to the most serious accidents
, The engine is by this continuance, as
much under command as the rudder.

1t may not perhaps be necessary to assign any fur
ther for this short postponement than are con-

err beg leg leave add, that when this class was IS
sued few persoss if any, anticipated in the least, the
late panic in the money market which has almost para.
lyzed every kind Of business and has caused such sim
gular and unprecedented stagnation in trade The
distress of capitalists and monied institutions has not
been confined to any single state in our confederacy
but has been severely felt from one extremity OF the
country to the other and has been general several OF
the Oldest and wealthiest foreign countries And it
will not be considered matter of SURPRISE that the
same causes which have induced recently the post

have similar effect on ofmuch greater magnitude.
But is hoped that happy change for these
has already commenced and that all classes OF our cl-
