RUDENEss IN CHURCHES AT NFw Yopr,
1t is complaint that in New York fashion.
able churches it is difficult for stranger ;o
get seat. They are kept out in the vest-
bu!e until after the long prayer, and many get
disgusted and 60 away. Out of the two hun
dred churches i'm New York, there are not q
dozen that offer any hindranee 10 strangers.
There is room in abundance, pews waiting for
occupants, and ushers only too glad to accom-
modate the casual worshipper. There are
few churches that have to keep out the crowd
TILL the regular congregation are in their
places Of course these are just the churches
that the driftwood Of the city like to attend.
Say that a house has the plague and all Lon
don will go to see it," is the English proyerb.
Let it be known that there is TO be crowd
in church, and the masses will be there.
Trinity Church, with its splendid cathedral
service, is packed every Sunday morning
Holy Trinity, Brooklyn, with its celebrated
choir, could be twice filled. In DIR. Adams's
church, person must own pew TO get
seat. Camp stools fill the aisles of DIR. Halls
church every Sunday morning. Yet even
in these houses there is room enough.
But devout men and women object to bav-
ing their pews filled and their devotion dis
turbad by a rude sat that drift round from
church TO church-who have no sense of nro
priety or decency-who talk, stare, flirt and
annoy every one jim their neighborhood. As
soon as the choral service is finished in Tim
ity, before the sermon begins, crowd start to
their feet and leave, showing that they came
for entertainment, and that the entertain
ment is over. Parties dressed in the height
of fashion come in late, and are shown prom
inent seat, reserved for the family who do not
happen to be in attendance. They gigele,
talk and stare, sit when others kneel. their
whole behavior marked with great indecorum.
while they put on all the airs of a petted belle
in a ball room, affecting fatigue and lassitude.
Honest church people do not feel honored
with such company. Not long since a man
who occupied free seat in church placed a
child two years old, without permission, in
the pew of a gentleman, and left the party to
watch it while il slept that it need not roll off
the seat

A MASSACHUSETTS, man has invented a
type-setting machine which seems to combine
something practical in its construction, and as
it does not attempt to do the work of half q
dozen compositors, it may possibly prove
success. A single movable key is used, which
is also the stick" forreceiviDg the type. Each
letter is raised successfully, and picking up
the type and placing it in line is done by one
motion, thus saving the mechanism in ether
machines for dispcsng of the types sitter they
are lifted, whi:h has been principal cause OF
their failure. The line of type, as it is COM
posed, is always under the operators eye, the
same as in hand composition. The new ma
chine, it is claimed, will enable compositor
to double his ordinary work, and as it is calcu-
lated to benefit the journeyman printer, the
craft will probably not oppose its introduction.
The distribution is reformed in manner sim.
liar to the other machines.

Bailey & Noyes have received from Apple
ton & Co. Home Scenes and Heart Studies, by
Grace Agullar, of whom it has been we'll said
that "she knew the female heart better than
any writer Of the day, and in every fiction
from her pen we trace the same mastery anal
ysis and development Of the motives and feel
ings of woman's nature"
The book is nicely bound and i, sold for a..
The same firm have received The Gagged Lion
by Charlotte M. Yonge, an historical novel of
great interest. The liberties taken By tho au.
thor with historical events and characters are
frankly avowed in tho preface SO that no one
need be misled. The unique relations which
existed between Henry V. and his prisoner,
james 1. of Scotland furnish the foundation
of the story. 1t will be remembered that the
latter lived with Henry on the terms of friend
rather than of captive, and was absolutely
sheltered by this imprisonment throughout his
homage and early youth from the frightful vio-
lence and presumption OF tho mobiles of his
kingdom.
Also Queen Hortense, a life picture of the
Napoleonic era, by l.. Muhlbach, complete in
one volume. This author is so well known as
brilliant ritter, and her books have had such
~" eeiS, thae IL 10 supcIHuOuS to
say anything in commendation. They stand
in the front rank of historical novels.

Right Hon. Benjamin Disraeli, author of
Vivian Grey" 'Lothair," "venetia," etc.
This is No. II of Appleton's Library of Choice
Novels. In paper covers. Price 80 cents.
Few books laid upon cur table have met
with heartier welcome than the initial vol
umes Of NATHANIEL HAwTHoRNE's WORKS.
Volumes /. and III. are entitled Passages from
the English Note Books These are to be
followed by American and Italian Notes. and
they, by those marvellous creations of the au-
thor's genius which have made his name ia.
nous throughout the literary world. Since
Hawthorne's death there has been a constant
and urgent demand for "lfe" or memoir;
compliance with which has been refused
both on account of the extreme delicacy and
difficulty of the subject and because Mr. ii.
had frequently expressed the hope that no one
would attempt to write his biography. But
these volumes with those that are TO follow
will make a good substitute for biography,
and in some Tespects will be superior.
The "nOtes" are literal extracts from his pri-
vata records and letters and will enabs bis adj
mirers no know him as he was. the notes are
full of information about persons, places and
things and are entertaining from beginning to
end. Published by Fields, Osgood s. Co. and

A STORY IN WHICH MorurRs w111pr1

A STORY IN WHICH MOTHERS WILL BE IN
TEREsrED.-While party OF ladies and gen.
tlemen were enjoying themselves at a picnic
few miles from Colfax Station, on the Indian
apolis and Chicago railroad, on Saturday, the
dwelling house oil Mr.. Thomas, a short dis
tance from the ground, took fire. The chill
eren (aged respectively eleven, eight and two
years. were playing in the second story, and
the older ones, frightened at the flames, ran
down stairs, leaving the babe in the upper
room. The picnickers fastened to the scene,
and upon their arrival found the house envel-
oped in flames. In the confusion the babe was
not missed until the stairway was almost con-
sumed, and neither parents nor friends of the
child seemed willing to risk an attempt to save
it. At this stage of affairs, Mr.. Ii. G. Holt of
Chicago, hastily inquired the location Of the
room in which the child was left, and wrap
ping himself in quilt, dashed up the burning
stairs, found the almost suifocated child, and
brought it out safely. He had scarcely emerg
ed from the house when the stairs fell, and
Immediately after the room and second floor
followed. Mr.. Hot was severely burned, but
the child was not at all injured. Too much
praise cannot be awarded Mr.. Holt for his he

out every lumber camp belonging to Sull-
water lumbermen aud incontinentIy signed
by the whole of them. But such petition
was not signed by the settlers Of the coun-
ties of Northern Wisconsin, By the men
really interested in the grant or in the
country; on the contrary the citizens OF
Wisconsin signed numerous petitions IN
favor Of extending the original grant.
The whole thing was an impudent MIME
sofa scheme, got up originally to enable
Mnnesotians to plunder the Wisconsin
piueries, and now regalvanized by Mime
sotitns to be used for the purpose of re-
tardiug the development Of Northern Wis
con~in. Il the grant passes, the status OF
the selt-styIed Zenith City will be gone.
The natural advantages Of Wisconsin will
upset all its visionary schemes, and Duluth
corner lots will be even less valuable than
they were last year.
No wonder the Minnesotian protests, but
the people OF Northern WISCONSIN VIII GER
tainly not acknowledge that sheet as their
organ.
