gone toward supporting q mission
church, at Hammonton, in the ''pines"

state and about $500 has gone
towards paying for piano for the use

The floral decorations for the occa-
sion were of the most elegant and Ella
borate kind We seldom if ever saw a
more profuse display of beautiful flow
ers, and all arranged in the most skill
full and tasteful manner, rejecting much
credit upon the willing, busy hands
which placed them in order, as well MS
the bountiful doners. A bare pen and
ink description of this elegant floral Of
fering Is impossible And il it were
possible would be entirely inadequate
us it, like the one in the First church
III the afternoon, and which was fully
equal to it in elegance, beauty and
tasteful concession, should have been
seen and closely examined, in order to
be appreciated.
Just in front of the pulpit was an
arch some twenty feet in height, trim
med with evergreens. magnolias and
flowers. The pulpit represented q
miniature Arcadia Island embroidered
in roses and vines. Other flowers were
also scattered about in great profusion.
The address of the occasion was
made by Mr.. Andrew Smith of Brook
Ign. The thought running through
his remarks, was that children are to
receice in order to grow either spirit
ually, mentally or physically, The ad-

genial sunday school man his manner
exhibits Christian character, which is
very attractive to children. At the
close of Mr.. Smiths remarks the hymn
-"All to Christ [ owe" was sung ;
after which brief remarks were made
by the Pastor, Mr.. Roberts. The last
hymn, "Strike the Harp" was then
sung, and the exercises closed with the
benediction Although the exercises
were necessarily quite prolonged, and
the house very warm, every one seem
ed to be well pleased. All engaged did
wei, and it would be hard toparticulalize
but if it would not be invidious, We
would mention in addition to Mr. Null
ford, Miss Little, the female Superin-

music, and is o genius at the organ.
The children had been much practiced
and therefore, sang all the pieces I'M

Scraps from the Notebook of an Old
Printer.


The dedication of a Christian temple
being an important incident in the his
tory of a community, it was fitting that
our Baptist friends should exultingly
manifest their Joy that they have sue
ceeded in rearing so elegant and spa
cious an edifce as that which crowns
yonder hill. Their persistent efforts to
carry successfully forward, in the midst
Of many discouragements, an enter
prise exceedingly well adapted to be a
blessing to our city, prove conclusively
that they were animated by lively
faith. The story of their abundant
offerings, of their Jealous labors, of the
great result they have accomplished,
will fire the hearts of their brethren in
other cities, who will be encouraged to
rear temples in which the majesty of
the universal Sovereign shall be pro-
claimed, and the people urged to show
forth his loving kindness.
Yes, the Broad street Baptist congre-
cation have done good work. They
have manifested their love for the Re
deemer, by erecting a monument that
will proclaim to passers-by their duty
to lead holy life. To this sacred place
will come doubling disciples, to inquire
what they must do to secure the appro-
baton of an awakened conscience. The
thoughtless man cannot habltually at
tend the services of the sanctuary with
out being proited, In holy places, q
man must think Of impressive facts
There, scenes of childhood are often
reviewed. Memory wildly recalls the
pious example, the solemn admonitions
of parents whose feet no longer cross
earthly thresholds.
The completion of the spacious and
handsome church whose dedicatory SER
vices have been the theme of diverse
comments during the past week, viii
doubtless incite other congregations to
build more attractive uncomfortable
houses of worship Already it is ar
gaed, if u young parish, the great MAJ
jority Of whose members are possessed
only of limited means, can afford u
church editice worth some one hundred
and five thousand dollars, surely it is
our duty to provide accommodations
for the new Corners who desire to wor-
ship God i'll the excellent way of their
ancestors.
Our city is growing with unexampled
rapidity Some fifteen years ago, Christ
Chapel, then just built was considered

BILE of resisting Times destructive force
for centuries, but they are too strait to
contain the rapidly increasing numbers
who delight to participate in the servi-
ces there celebrated. | doubt not that
this prosperous parish, under the gui-
dance of its accomplished and emerge
tic Rector, will soon be constrained to
build church edifce which shall re-
fleet honor on its founders. All who
aid in building a temple for the rich
and poor to meet together, to worship
the Lord who is the maker of them all,
contribute vastly to promote the hap
piness of society. J. s. d.

A Cabinet meeting was held yesterday
It is rumored, though the report can
not be authenticated, that an official
communication from Mr.. Motley was
presented by Lord Clarendon. The
report states that in his communication
Mr. Motley informs Her Majesty's Gov
eminent of the rejection by the United
States Senate of the Alabama Claims
Treaty he represents that the grounds
for rejection were the insutiiciency of
the treaty as full settlement of the
question in dispute between the two
countries he intimates that the present
Ad ministration cGncura in the reasons
which led the Senate to decline to rati-
fly the treaty.
He says that lie is instructed to eX-
press the earnest desire OF the Ameri-
can Government for speedy and
friendly removal of the matters in
difference by treaty which will do
justice to all parties, leaving no ques-
ton open for future misunderstanding
or complications. He announces his
readiness 30 receive and consider with
liberality any proposition Her Majesty's
Government may make for full settle

questions at issue, as well us OF the
claims of individual citizens growing

third ballot, Newark. N. j., was desig-
mated by a majority of delegates. The
time of meeting was referred to New

to the National Division was received
from Superintendent of the National
Observatory to visit that institution this
evening, which was adopted. A reso-
luton was adopted to have printed an
edition of the ritual in the German
language. Sundry reports of Commit
tees on Ceremonies and Regalia and
on Constitutions, were considered, and
proposed changes rejected. "a slight

none of the fair sex in charge) proceed

barked on the steamer "Arrow," to the
number of three hundred OF more, and
passed down the river to Mount Yer

in viewing the tomb in which the re.
mains of Washington and his beloved
wife were inferred, and in the inspec
ton of the house and grounds where
they resided. These are tolerably well
preserved, but it occurred to some that

knowledge of the World.

Itis iaceaeeivable how polite society
can tolerate the worry inferior peronss
who have to their otherwise harmless
ehortcoming the insufferable impu-
dence of introducing themselves with
much noise within educated and or
dcrly circles, as reputed men who
know the world. Society has to en-
counter no greater bores. They are
living illustrations of the emptiness of
the profession as practised by them !;
for knowledge of the world, in it's re-
fined sense at least, recommends a
man to the sympathy of his intelli-
gent fellows, while tho assumed ac-
complishment simply makes him a
nuisance. While the former clothes
him with a becoming and dignifcd
reticence, the latter invests him with
an odious bombast and contemplate
vulgarity that are repugnant to all
beholdcrs. The truth is, if man
would rightly understand the living
world, which is composed of beings
like himself, he must first understand
himself Understand himself for the
purpose of cultivating what is cred
liable in his particular constitution.
If he has not solved the problem of
his own mental composition, so as to
reflect in his habitual dem eanor hon.
or rather than dishonor on mankind,
it is quite certain he is incapable of
determining as to the eccentric irreo-
ularitics on the minds Of others. He
may see all stages of humanity. The
whole comprehensive theater of life
may move vividly before him. But
if he cannot sufficiently master his
own parts to be able to estimate the
parts of others at their intrinsic
worth, he will remain as ignorant Of
