The Railway.

The Railway Journal, in an excellent article upon
the free pass system, makes the following very
truthful and practical remarks on granting passes
to editors
We think the best investment the Erie Railroad
could make, to-day, would be to issue fifty free
passes to editors of leading newspapers, on condi-
tlon that their use should always be accompanied
by notice Of the road. Advertising is the secret
OF success, where one depends upon the public for
patronage. The most valuable kind of advertising
ior railroad is not the publication of time tables
out spirited descriptions of its route of the works
on Its line, of the country and communities it
tlaverses These are always eagerly read and al
ways create desire to visit the scenes described
description of the capabilities of the country, or
of the cities and villages or of the Industry and
products OF the people upon the route of road,
VIII be often the means of sending large parties
over It, IN search of locations for themselves More
particularly is such kind of advertising necessary
Tor the weaker Of two competing lines The
latter should be kept constantly before the public
eye otherwise its existence will soon be almost
forgotten. As passenger road the Erie Railroad
Is now almost lost sight of. Few newspapers now
refer to it except by way of disparagement The
public catch the same unfriendly feeling. No one
passes over it unless compelled to do SO. The re-
suit Is that this road presents the remarkable phe
nomenon OF steadily decreasing passenger traffic,
which was less the past year than in 1882 the first
year 1t came into use. The road was opened on
the I4th OF May, 1851. The passenger earnings
since that year up to the present time have been

Parish of Trinitz Church.

/ We are indebted to the estima5le Rector,
Rev. Dr. BoLLEs, for the Fifth Annual Report,
and Pastoral Letter, to the Parish of Trinity
Church, Cleveland, from which we CLEAN the
following statistics:
During the past year ffty-two persons have
received Holy Baptism, thi1ty-seven have re-
ceived the Apostolic Rite of Confirmation, for
ty-six have been received or admitted to the
Holy Communion, twelve have been united in
Holy Matrimony, and eighteen have been con-
signed to the grave, including three commun-
cants. The Holy Communion las been nd
ministered fifteen times in Trinity Church and
weekly in the Chapel since its consecration.-
DIR. B. preached one hundred and forty-one ser
mons during the year; one hundred and seven
in Trinity Church, and thirty-four in other
places. Other Clergymen, including the Bish-
ops of Ohio and Michigan, preached in Trinity
Church thirty sermons. The Sunday School
numbers one hundred and eleven scholars, and
nineteen Teachers. The Sunday School of the
Chapel, forty-three scholars and six Teachers.
The monthly offerings, including Communion
Aims and offerings on Christmas Eve, amount
ed to S6s7 4s, of which sum S299 l6 were ex-
pended for the Poor of the City and Parish In
addition, the sum of $3.50 80 has been pri-
vately contributed by various individuals OF
this sum 1850 "a were for building Free
Chapel, and for the Home of the Sick and
Friendless; 800 for the Church in Marquette,
and S25 for the Church in Kansas. The sum
of private contributions includes the bequest OF
Mrs. Kirkland of $500 for Foreign Mission,
$500 for Domestic Mission, $50 for Orphan
Asylum, and $50 for Home for Sick The Rec
tor cOngratulates the Parish that the contribu-
tons have been entirely voluntary, the amount
being raised without the "aid of Shows, or
Fairs or suppers."
The donations to Trinity Church Home for
the Sick and Friendless were 81 ,432 43, of
which $1,000 was by "a Lady," and 1892 25
by the Ladies' Society. The Board of Mana

ObituaTy.

We clip the following tribute to the religious
character of the late QUINTUs F. ATKINS from
the OberIin Evangelist
He has for many years resided in the vicin-
ity of Cleveland, and has sustained a connection
with the Congregational Church on the West
side. He was gifted with more than ordinary
natural endownments both mental and physical,
he has had the discipline of trying vieissitudes,
and morethan common share of hardships-
But under these trials, through divine grace, he
has grown and matured in the grace of the Spir
it, and has been upheld to the advanced age o.
n. For the last year of his life he has been
disabled by partial paralysis, which did not
however seriously affect his brain or his organs
Of speech. His avowal to his pastor, a few
days before his death, of his faith and hope in
crucifed-Savior was clear and full. and all that
could be wished. He had been before the world
decided Christian, anda oldadvocate of Free
dom and Temperance. He was the venerated
and happy father ofmany daughters, two of
whom Martha, now Mrs. John Todd of Tabor
Iowa, and Mary now Principal of a fourishing
Female School at Benicia in California, were
among the early pupils Of Oberlin College, and
the latter for time held the post Of assistant

RevivaIs and Accessions.

The Carroll County Press notices extensive
revivals in progress among the Methodists, Lu.
therans, and Presbyterians, in several of the
townships of that county. The Revival Cor
respondence" of the Western Christian Advo-
cate records some eight hundred recent CONVEX
sions and accessions to the NJ E. Churches OF
Ohio and the neighboring States. In the same
department Of the St Louis Advocate, we find
that about 575 persons have recently united
with the Methodist Churches of Missouri, Wes-
tern Illinois, &c. The Christian Review re-
cords about one hundred accessions of late to
the Christian (DiscipIes) Churches of Ohio,
Kentucky, and Indiana. Revivals are in pro-
gress in Pittsburgh, Dayton, Louisville, &C.

IDOLS AND TEMPLES, IN INDIA.-The Rev. B,
W. Noel, of London, in recent work on the
Government OfIndia, makes the following sin
gular but probably authentic statement:
SIN the Madras Presidency there are now 8,
292 idols and temples, receiving from Govern
ment an annual payment of $450,000 In the
Bombay Presidency there are 26,5S9 idols and
temples under state patronage, receiving grants
to the amount of Sl50, 1000; to which must be
added the allowance for temple lands-giving a
total for the Bombay Presidency of $450,000.
In the whole Of the Company's territories there
is annually expended in the support of idolatry,
by the servants of the Company, the large sum
of $3.50, 600" In view of these facts, it is not
surprising to learn that prize of fifty guineas
has been offered for the best Essay on the posi-
ton which the Government of India ought to
assume towards Christianity and Christian mis-
sions.

The decrease from the highest point reached in
1854, has been S560,S2l. Under the present sys-
TEN OF management the receipts from passengers
will be likely to decrease. What the road needs is
LIT from the newspapers. 1t would cost the
company nothing to gain their good will But if it
should cost it twice the amount that all the riding
upon free tickets would come to- it would be polite
to make the outlay. The advantage would be
twenty to one on the side Of the road. We think
the last years receipts are pretty loud argument
IN the premises. If not, we are willing that Mr.
Moran should try his experiment year or two
longer. No road can afford, wrightfully or wrong
fully, TO incur the hostilites of the public press
To il our railroad companies owe debt that never
can be paid Without 1t, our railroads could never
have been constructed. The Erie is more than
any other railroad in the United States, the crea-
ton OF the newspapers. Not cent could have
been had from the State, and not a loan from the
public but for their good opinion. For Mr.. Nor
an or any Other man to affect to despise them, is
to commit mistake sufficiently grave to threaten
to destroy the very work they have created.

PEW RENTING DEFEEDED.-Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher defends in the Independent, the system
of renting pews-some caviling having been
excited by the large sums paid for Pews in his
church, the effect of which is to exclude the
poor from attendance. He contends that the
secular business of the church is purely COM
mercial matter, and that no system:of disposing
Of the pews can be adopted except at public
auction. If the rich thereby have the best
chance, he says they.need more preaching than
the poor, according to the Scripture passage

THE CHESS CHANP1oN.-Morphy has faced the
world in chess and came of conq1eror. Lowen-

derssen, have seyeralIy measured swords with the
young American champion, and have severally
withdrawn. beaten and foiled. Staunton lacks the
courage to meet his opponent, and dares not show
his face in chess circles since his unmsnly backing
down. The match with Andersen has attracted
the utmost attention, be being the acknowledged
leader Of chess forces on the continent. At the
time of his reaching Paris, Morphy was sick in bed
but rising for the first time within fortnight, he
met his honorable opponent, and after the first two
games won five successfully. After the match,
ANDERSEN said 81 win my games in seventy moves

any body to be stronger than he. All other play
