SALAREEs or CLERGrxES.-One of the
bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church
not long since declared that he did not
believe the ministerial salaries Of his brethren
throughout the country would average more
than $3.50. \ bishop Of the Episcopal
Church has lately stated, that Of 100
churches in his diocesan circle, the average
salary is $4eo. and Of these, 20 in two cities
average $l,l7s, the remaining 100 average
about $500. In New England. where
religious institutions are supposed to have
stronger hold on the traditional reverence
y the people the average salary of the
clergy does not appear to exceed $500.
"hi'e IN many countries the average does
not much exceed 5000. Orthodox Con
g'egauonal clergy, who are the lineaI
descendants Of the old Puritan pastors and
therefore represent the traditional faith Of
the state, do not receive, on an average
more than 5000 year-in many case,
below s4oo; while the Baptist and Nicholas
ministers salaries range from $3.50 to $500

A little girl, whom people may have OBJ

gentleman and lady who Were staying at
that establishment, as they were returning
from walk.

Mr. Y. attracted by his wife's exclama-

They questioned her. She had little to

dead. What was her name? She was not

man took the child between them in car.

of her grandmother, with whom she said size

THRILLING ROMANCE.

Some time since Cincinnati popcr re-
ceised and printed the first chapter Of
what promised 70 be thrilling ro-
nance, in the expectation Of being pro-
vided with the concluding portions a. they
might be needed. The chapter was very
ingeniously written, and concluded by irav-
ing it's principal character suspended by
the pantaloons from q perpendicular pre-
cipice. Il attracted the attention of tho
press, and inquiries began to be made con-
corning the continuation of the story and
the fate of its hero. Day after day the VIC
timizcd publishers locked for the remaining
chapters, but in vain-they never came to
hand. Finding that they had been sold.
and wished to put stop to the jokes their
contemporaries were cracking ut their ex-
pense, they briefly concluded the story
thus:
''CHAPTER I-CoNCEUsrON.--
hanging to the treacherous limb for four
weeks, his pantaloons gave way, and Chas.
Melville rolled Lendlong over the yawning
precipice. He fell distance of FIVE miles.
and came down with the small Of his back
across a stake and ridered fence which 30

As the contest is now over, we caution
our Republican friends against claiming
the result here, as a Republican victory.
It is Free State triumph and nothing
else.-It is a verdict of the people in
favor of self-government, and in favor of
freedom for Kansas, without any relation
whatever to the old parties as organized
10 the States.-HsrdLd of Freedom.
True every word of it; and yet we just
picked up an eastern paper, and there saw
the modest announcement that the Repub-
licans had carried Kansas by a large
majority The impudence of the notice
is unparalleled. Why, if noneabut Re-
publicans and Pro- Slavery men had voted
at the recent election, and none but legal
voters participated, Republicanism would
have been whipped so badly that its own
mother would not have recognized it.
In this city for instance, we have not a
prO-slavery voter and, leaving out the
American and Democratic votes, we think
there would be barely dozen left. Jus
tiee, gentlemen, is all we WANT edry

WELL ENDORSED BUT COULDN'T WIN.
The New York Journal of Commerce
tells the following rather amusing story,
illustrative of the stringency of the Phil
adelphis money market, and general in
disposition of the Banks to discount
That paper says it is reported that one
of the Banks in Philadelphia has become
so costive that customer, little irrita-
ted at the picayune policy, drew note
for fire dollars, at thirty days, covering
it down the back with first class endorse
ments from his fellow sufferers, pinned it
to a ten dollar bill, Of the same Bank, as
collateral, and then offered it for discount.
This is what Jed. Tompkins would call
