CISptsNATI, May a, 1867.
The business transacted by the AS.
semP yesterday afternoon was not of
any general importance, save the adop-
ton of report Of the committee upon
what is called the "HYmnal." This
Hymnal Is collection of hymns and
psalms with tunes affixed or prefxed
designed for use in worship. The re-
port Of the committee says, There has
been added to this edition about two !
hundred and fifty psalms and hymns
among these additions VIII pc found
about twenty OF Rouse's version OF
psalms. and q few Scotch pafaphrases, |
There was a night session Of the As
sembly for the purpose of formally re. |
ceiyipR the Scotch delegation and hear |
ing them. The interest of the occasion |
was great. DR.. W. ID. Howard offered |
prayer. Rev. D. Irving, D. D., intro |
dueed the delegation in q very appro- |
pirate manner. Then came the address
Of Or. Fairbairn. 1t gave a brief OUT |
line of the history Of the church In |
Scotland, which he and Mr., Wells rep |
resented. He then ventured the optn-
ion that one of the great events Of the
Church of Christ is a 'thorougb pre-
partition on the part OF her minis
iers. In the Church Of England, statis-
tics show that not more than
one half of the candidates for the min
istrY are ttteTdtes, or persons who have
gone through classical course. Young
men shrink from enteting the ministry
for several reasons. One is, the grol1-
ing secHlGTity Of the age. Other voca-
/ . 4
other reason is, the prospect Of an filst!f
fciemL support. Here he gave some cu-
'rious facts concerning ministerial sup
port in Scotland. DE-. Chalmers had
fixed the minimum stipend even in ru.'
raj parishes at $3.50. This Is still the
policy of the church. The people on
the Highlands are poor-sometimes a
.congregation, Of eight hundred or one
Thousand gives only 500 for the sup
port of the ministry. On the Lowlands
Is greater wealth; true, however, some
Of the churches are poor. To meet the
| difficulty the rich agreed to help the
poor. A fund was established into
which all above the $50 in each parish
goes. DR.. Btchanan's Church gives
IS 900 to the general fund, and he gets
but $3.50. DR.. CandIish's Church gives
SIS, 900 and he gets only $3.50. or course
these churches have means to supple
lnent the 500. Pew rents, collections
at the door, dividends from certain
funds, and Requests, &c. The general
fund is fifty called the financial back

sisterial qualifications, and to increase

often asked, by those unfamiliar with

EtIou will prove Instructive to man5:
On the course the pool seller, who is
in reality an auctioneer of bets, takes
his stand and cries out-say for the first

until 1t Is run up TO $3.50, when, no more
bids being offered, 1t is knocked OF to
the last and highest bidder. The pool
seller then cries out chow much do /

man replies, Twenty dollars for Me-

man who bets on: him saves what lie
bets and takes the money on the other
two. If the Maid wins; the Man who
bets on her saves what he bet and takes
the money bet on Ruthless and Metairie.
II Metairie wins, the man who bets on
him saves his own ana takes the money
beton Ruthless and the Maid. In other
words the whole amount Of the pool

enough to bet on the horse that wins
the race. There are great many pools
sold at each race, and gentlemen often
make up a!little pool Of their own with
out buying at the stand. II, ia Id,
