take up the subject and furnish our readers,
through the HERALD reporters, some excel
lent remarks upon it.
The Protestant Chlrchm0n, edited by John
Cotton Smith, is finely printed sheet, or,
rather, series of sheets, of fourteen pages.
The editor gives noticeable article upon the
Education of the Future very fruitful
theme for the exercise of other able pens.
The Methodist alludes to the progress Of
Methodsm in the cities, and, CHANGING at the
dinner Of city Methodists recently held in an
uptown fashionable hotel at which Bishop
James, Rev. Messrs. Ferris and McCabe, Mr..
Orange Judd and others were present, rejoices
in announcing that the sum Of twenty thou
sand dollars was realized for the good cause.
What does that compare to the munidcent sum
Of seven millions realized for the ''good
cause" by our Presbyterian brethren The
Methodists must prick up and open their
purses.
The Liberal Christian shows that its editor,
the Rev. Dr. Bellows, remembers such posi-
tive and learned men as the late Horace
Mann, and gives glowing account of An
tioch College, to which institution, sevent cen
years ago, Horace Mann made his first visit
The institution is not quite so successful as it
might be, but everything is hopeful. As an
evidence of hopefulness we quote the follow

Henry Ward Beecher dips his brilliant pen
into editorial ink and gives us in the Christian
Union this week an excellent article on the
american Gospel" taking our recent ma
tional anniversary as his text. He concludes
bis views as folows:-

Christianity IN America Is steadily growing purer in

people. Our faith Is strong that through ITS innu
country Will rise to nober heights than she
yet has trod, and more efrectuay than she has ut
tered to the nations the gospel Of liberty Will pro-
| claim to them the whole Gospel Of Christ.
Our Roman Catholic contemporaries COM
miserate with the Pope but, with one or
two exceptions, gracefully accept the newt

On the whole we must say that the eccles-
astical situation in this country at the close of

find them recorded in our religious exchanges,
is eminently suspicious.

Winter on Mount Washington.

About year ago it was announced that
Professor Hitchcock, the State Geologist of
New Hampshire, and Mr.. j. H. Huntington,
tuition in this country in geological science,
would winter on Mount Washington for the
purpose of making scientific observations.
Mount Washington is a very desirable place
for one wishing to escape the summer heat
and willi1g TO forego the pleasures Of the
watering places; but in winter, with the Their
mometer Afty-nine degrees below zero, it is not
altogether the best site for a pleasant home.
The climate is as rigorous al that of Central
Greenland, and animal and vegetable life cor
responds with that Of Labrador and of regions
to the north of Labrador The clouds which
blow over the summit are often charged
with frost to an extent which makes breathing
the air very unpleasant, and from the effects
of which q full inhalation brings on fit Of
coughing. Severe storms are frequent and tho
wind travels with velocity so great that
Professor Hitchcock on one occasion found 1t
necessary to sit with line round him in order
to keep his position while using the anemoms-
ter. From the beginning Of November to the
close of January there was not single clear
day, and in the next three months only one
clear day in each month. No gloomier and no
more dangerous existence could be expe-
rienced even in the Arctic regions, death from
the cold or the tornado being possible every
moment.
The party was composed Of six persons, one
of whom was member of the United States
Signal Service, and two photographers. They
lived together in q room twenty feet long,
eleven feet wide and eight feet high; but
small as it was 1t was difficult, owing to the
intense GOODNESS of the Arctic climate, to keep
it warm. In spite of many discomforts and
disadvantages the party remained throughout
the winter. doing their work msnfully amid
dangers and sufferings and gaining much
valuable scientific information. But it scarcely
needed demonstration to show that the Tip
Top is q better place in summer than in winter
weather.
