THEIR INcREAsE.-The Young Mems Chris
tian Association of this city is now, we believe,
the largest fany similar organization in the
United States. 1t comprises membership of
between eighteen and nineteen hundred per-
sons. 1t now occupies spacious premises in
Chestnut street, near Tenth. Within a few
days past they have adopted new feature, the
election of salaried secretary The choice of
the association fell upon Mr.. John Wanne-
macher, who receives a salary of $1,000 year
Just double paid to their secretary by the
Board of Trade. With the exception of
similar society in London, we believe there is
none other which is able to maintain perma.
nent secretary. From this ii must be evident
that the Young Mems Christian Association in
this city Is thriving beyond all precedent. In
deed, 1t is not impossible that, during the COM
ing winter, its membership will be increased by
some hundreds. The association is doing
good work n The community, and none the more
50 because it is done quietly and without osten-
tatlon. Many young man, who arrived a
stranger III the city, has good reason to remem.
ber with gratitude the good offices extended by
the members of this Organization.-Norh

the great improvement that is to take place in
these engins in 80 or 100 years will enable US
TO navigate our corDfields, and pIow as much
cotton with one critter of this sort, in the same
length of time, aud at less expense, than with

an improvement in picking. and then monkeys
would be the very article. One monkey would
pick as much as niger, and one nigger could

was, instead of one nigger managing 10 mon
