From he n. r. Herald.
Some one Of the small papers has been
giving the world valuable information a. TO
the salaries Of the metropolitan clergymen.
From this authority we learn that Henry
Ward Beecher has a salary Of $4,000 and
parsonage rent free, and that, with his lit
erary earnings, his income is $4,000. Il.
H. Chaplin has IS 600 per annum, and makes
a. much more by lecturing. DR.. Bethune
has 81 800, but is the possessor Of fortune
outside Of his professional earnings. DIR.
Adams, Gays our authority, has $4,000 and
rich wife. DR. Hawks has 81, 900 year
and house. DIR. Taylor, OF Grace church,
has $4,000 and the fine parsonage ada
cent to the church. Rev. Messrs Tyng,
Bellows, Osgood, Cheever and other leading
per snnum. In many cases the salary rep
resents small part Of the pastors earnings.

REMARKABLE PROPHECY.

The following remarkable prediction
was made by Friar Bacon, who was
born in the year 1914, some GAO years
ago. ''Here," says a certain writer,
sis poetry and philosophy wound to-
gether, forming wondrous chain of
prophecy"
Bridges, unsupported by arches,
will be made to span the foaming cur
rent. Man shall descend to the bottom
of the ocean, safely breathing, and
treading with firm step upon the gold
en- sands never frightened by the light
of day. Call but the secret powers of
Sol and Luna into action, and behold a
single steersman sitting at the helm
guiding the vessel, which divides the
waves with greater rapidity than if she
had been filled with crew of mari
ners toiling at the oars; and the loaded
chariot, no longer encountered by the
painting steeds, shall dart on its course
with resistless force and rapidity. Let
the simple elements do the labor; bind
the eternal elements, and yoke them to
the same plough"
