Wealth and Poverty of the Church
81 of England. .

The entire revenues OF the Church of
England are stated on the authority Of the
Ecclesiastical Commissioners, as published
in their report of 1885, to be G6,495, ,2lS
(about $32.400000), which, if divided
among the 25,000 clergy of England and
Wales, would give to each about S259
(S1.300) year. This aggregate includes,
however, the Revenues of Bishops and
Deans, Archdeacons and rich incum bents,
and therefore gives no idea of the actual
state of affairs. 1.-THE great body of the
There is the first apprenticeship of the
young curate, when he receives his
ESQ ($250) a year. 1t is impossible to
say how long this may be extended. Then
his salary may be raised to f100 or 9120 a
year $500 to S600), when he has probably
a wife and family TO support. On that
miserable pittance he may continue to live
for an unlimited time, possibly for his
whole life, though his labors may be hon.
estly andungrudgingly given to the work
of his high office. Even if he does obtain,
after years of work, benefice, he is often
little better, and not unfrequently worse off
than before. Perhaps the curate of twenty
years. service succeeds to a living of $500
or G400 year ($l,500 TO $4,000, but with
it comes a multitude of new expenses,
which often make him wish himself back
again in his less diguified position"
This shows that the English clergy are
following very poor trade, so far as busl-
ness is concerned, and it is not surprising
that very considerable proportion of them
are composed of very poor capacities.
" Poor pay, poor preach" was saying OF
Samson Occun, the Indian preacher, when
he used to preach among the churches of
Eastern Connecticut for bushel of rye.

Beer a Preventive of Cholera.

At the late Congress of beer brewers
Chicago, the President, Mr.. Lauer, mad
the following statement:
Mr.. Lauer said that at the last Congre:
it had been determined to investigate tt
subject of beer being preventive of ehol
era. Mr.. Katzenmayer had been engage,
in the work, but his death delayed the mat
ter. He knew that when the cholera WIS
in New York in 1882. that none of the EN-
ployes of the breweries died of it, nor, { I.
tar as could be known, any who were j.,
the habit of drinking much beer.
The same had been the case in 1S49. ] >
Europe the cholera was the most fearful
those parts where alcoholic and not NAL
liquors were used. In Europe beer VIZ :
considered food, and where person dram:
two or three glass of it he ate just so muci
less: The English and German ladio,
were healthy and pretty, and it was i,
a. great degree owing to their drinl.-
ing beer. 1t would not be long ,befoI :
it would be national drink
America, and the people would leal
that the manufacturers of beer were ait'.
ing the health and prosperity of mankin.t !
In conclusion, he would ask why it w.
that the mortality in the New Englal
States was much greater in proportion y

in the latter malt LIQUORS were the dai,

The Chicago Board of Trade

f a
y The arrest of a large portion of the Chi
cago Board of Trade has caused consider
able comment and speculation in the news
papers. 1t is stated that few days ago
one hundred and fifty warrants were is
sued for one hundred and fifty members
OF this very honorable body. The charge
is that they engaged in some loose grain
transactions. 1t will be remembered that
this organization was appealed to for aid
by the Southern Re.iet Association, aud
that more than two-thirds of the men COM
posing it. utterly refused to do anything
for the suffering poor in the South, on
the ground that they had been in rebellion
against the "best Government the world
ever saw Need the public be surpriseds
when almost an entire body of men are ar
rested for transgressions and common swim
ding, who will refuse, on such grounds,
to contribute to the support of a starving
people lE We think not. We are only sur
prised that some of these men, who. in
stead of doning the Christian robe of char
ity, heaped epithets of the fiercent char
acter upon helpless people, rendered SO
by war and flood, have not long ago been
inmates of State penftentiaries for worse
crimes than for which they are now ar
rested. The Chicago Board of Trade is
clear specimen of Northern philanthro-
pism. n It is an association composed of a
majority, of undoubted Loyalists. Their
| sOyQtLy VI QudlIby IudG Will DGdE lnVeS-
tigation from a loyal Investigation commit
tee,, but their honesty and integrity will
only bear investigation before a judge
and Jury who possess the utmost capabil-
ity OF convicting the most dartardly scoun-
drels.
The Chicago Board of Trade, in refusing
their aid towards suffering community,
and, more recently, by their operations
which have caused their arrests, have
placed themselves before the public as be-
ings of the lowest type of humanity they,
have made for themselves a record of
shame and disgrace, not possessing even
that attribute prevailing among common
thieves -liberality. They are both dis
honest and penurious, and their case is a
more aggravating one than the opera
lions of petty thief who skill
fully fieeces the pockets of his
victims. The Chicago Board of
Trade has an 5unenviable reputation. The
shrewdness of its members is exceedingly
keen. Those, against whom legal proceed
ings are now pending, medal should be
presented, if unmitigated scoundrels de-
serve one. The Chicago Board of Trade is
Furthermore machine around which in
Vulnerable swfndling operators perform
their daily labor, as dangerous an organi-
zation as body of pickpockets, and even
more so,i because they have shared GER
tain portion of public confidence. o.

HOY. q, ,.1iiItF it Feels to he sca1ped.

William Thompson, telegraph repairer
along the line of the Pacific railroad, has
had novel experience, He bas been scalp
ed by Indians, and yet lives to tell the tale.
He lost his hair Just before the capture OF
the train at Plum Creek Station, recently
reported, and this is the story he tells to
the wondering citizens of Omaha, where
he now is: ~. @ 49,. ....-55.,=a r.
About nine O'Clock Tuesday night, my
self and five others left Plum Creek Station,
and started up the track on a hand-car to
hunt up where the break in the telegraph
was. When we came to where the break
proved to be we saw lot of tiles piled upon
the track, but at the same moment Indians
jumped up from the grass all around, and
fired on u.s. We fired two or three shots in
return, and then as the Indians pressed on
us, we ran away. An Indian on a pony
singled me out, and galloped up to me.
After coming to within ten feet of me he
fred, the bullet entering my right arm;
seeing me still run, he "clubbed his rifle"
and knocked me down. He then took out
his knife, stabbed me in the neck, and then
making a twirl round his fingers with my
hair, he commenced saving and hacking
away at my scalp. Though the pain was
awful, and 1 felt dizzy and sick, knew
enough'to keep quiet. After what seemed
to be half an hour, he gave me the las
finishing cut to the scalp on my left temple
and as it still hung little, he CAV.

i could have screamed my life Out

Just felt as ii the whole head wa
taken right off. The Indian then mountet'
and galfoped away, but as he went b
dropped my scalp within a few feet of mt
which managed to get and hide. The In
dians were thick in the vicinity, or 1 the
might have made my escape. While lyin
down l could hear the Indians movin
around whispering to each other, and the
shortly after placing obstructions on tn .

TEE Ne,o Yorh Honae ,Journal saws:

"a young lady who has been the reign
ing belle in Boston for some years, and is
now growing rather passe, and afraid of
losing her laurels, is said to be using every
means to preserve her beauty. She eats
arsenic to make her eyes bright, and IS
obliged to increase the quantity con-
tinually; chews slate-pencilsr to make
her complexion white; drinks vine
gar and lemondade to make her
waist small; uses Email de Paris ,
ems the lower part OF her eyes; sleeps with
her hands in gloves, and never, under any
circumstances, goes out in the sun, Be-
sides this, she is said to own three hundred
dollars worth of false hair, rats, mice, cI,ris,
cushions, puffs, braids, cascades and wa
terfails included: 1t is to be hoped that,
after all these efforts to be beautiful. She
will eventually become WIFE,"
The prospect, for the man she catches,
must be q delightful one. -

Mass Meeting.

The mass meeting on the Doth was all that
was expected under the circumstances -
Notwithstanding the very unfavorable ap-
pearance of the weather, and heavy rains
the evening previous, the crowd assembled
on that occasion, as was estimated by sew
eral persons, was about twelve hundred,
nearly all of whom were voters, and more
attentive crowd nevered assembled on any
occasion. The speaker, E. B. Eshelman,
made most powerful appeal, driving home
frcts upon the opposition, which must in
evitably break their ranks. Facts incon-
trovertable, and that must be heard and
cansidered.-NobLeC County Neaos.

| believing that a change in command in
the Fifth Military District is absolutely
necessary for the faithful execution of the

subject of this correspondence. In thus
exercisinga power that inheres in the Ex-
l-ecutive, under the Constitution, as Com
manderr Chief of the army and navy, /
am discharging duty required of me by
the will OF the Nation, as formally declared
In the supreme law of the land. By his
oath the Executive is bound, to the best of
his ability, to preserve, protect and defend
the Constitution. Although in times of
| great excitement it be lost to public view,
lit is his duty, without regard to conse-
quences to himself. to hold sacred. and en-
| force all or any of its provisions. Any
other course would lead to the destruction
of the Republic, for the Constitution once
abolished there would be no Congress for
the exercise of legislative powers; no Elk
ecutive to see that the laws are faithfully
executed. no Judiciary to afford to the cit

despotism be fixed on the people, in 'vio-
lation of their combined and expressed

"In- conclusion, fail to perceive any
military, pecuniary or patriotic reasons
why this order should not be carried into
effect. You will remember that in the
first instance / did not consider General
Sheridan the most suitable man for the
command of the Fifth Military District.
Time has strengthened my convictions
upon that point, and has led me to theeon
clusion that patriotic considerations de-
mand that he should be superseded by an
officer who, while he will faithfully execute

A Greater Trotter than Dexter.


A few weeks since it was stated in sew
eral of the journals of this country that
great trotting phenomenon had just been
brought out at Paris. The statement gave,
the time of the horse at 2:23, which was
said to have been made without any pre-
vious training. The report was not be-
lieyed on this side of the water, and
wagers were freely offered that such per-
| formance had been made. From gentle-
man who has just returned from Paris,
where he witnessed the trial, and who is of
unquestionable veraeity, we gather the fol-
lowing: On the visit of the Gar to Paris
he brought with him, among other objects
of interest, stallion which was natural
| trotter, and which, never having been
trained, had developed an extraordinary
degree of speed. This was the horse Be
douin, an animal of Arabian blood, crossed
with Holland stock. He has been in the
| Emperor's stables ever. since foaling, and
began to show the qualities of trotter at
seven years. ---'J-
When the Gar went to Paris, he took the
stallion with him. In June last a trial was
made of the speed of the horse in the Bois
| de Bologne, in the presence of large
gathering of English and American gem
| tlemen, patrons Of the turf. The track was
rounded rectangle, much the shape and
size of one of our ordinary half-mile
courses. In heavy Russian gig, weigh
| ing a hundred and twenty-five pounds, the
groom of the stallion, man wei ighing one
hundred and eighty-five pounds, drove the
horse, which was very fleshy, and not by
any means in good speeding condition.
three times about the course in the time of
AL. The track was measured by several
gentlemen, curious to know the exact time,
| and was found to measure nearly five
eighths of mile. The stallion had there
fore trotted mile and seVen-eighths at the
rate of 2:2315 to the mile.
The effort was at once made. by a num-
ber OF our Americans to purchase the
horse, and Elias Howe, jr., offered 100000
for him, it is said. The Gar refused to part
with him, intending to keep him for breed
| ing purposes. t.e
| Bedouin is eleven years old, fifteen hands
three inches in hight, and weighed at the
| time of the above trial, l,130 pounds. He
has beautiful head, limbs clean and very
strong, with tail sweeping on the ground.

the stallion could trot mile in IL at
