Religious Census Of England.

The London NonconfOrn,ist has now
completed its religious census, and
published tables showing the religious
accommodation furnished in eighty
four towns of England and Wales, ex-
Guiding the metropolis. The population
of the eightyfour towns is 5,913, 919.
The number of places of worship is
4,S43 the number of sittings is 2,6A,-
523, and the proportion of sittings to
population is A per cent. Adopting
the old rule that only So per cent. of
the entire population require religious
accommodation, by reason of the neces-
sary absence of children, invalids, and
others, it would appear that there is a
deficiency in these eIghty-four towns OF
only IA per cent. In the census OF
1851, which has been taken as the basis
of the comparison now instituted, no
separate returns were made for seven
of these towns, and consequently a
comparison can now only be made in
the case of seventy-seven of them. This
comparison shows that in the last
twenty-one years there has been an in
crease of 1927 places of worship, and
of 1887 sittings. The population of
the towns has increased at the rate OF
"a per cent, while the religious accom-
mediation has augmented at the rate Of
40 per cent The comparison as be.
tween the Established Church and the
unestablished churches foots up as fol-
lows: Established Church, ], ,506 places
of worship, 1,OiO,672 sittings unestab-
lished churches, 1886 places of wor-
ship, 1908, s51 sittings; in favor of un-
.ablished churches, 1897 places of
worship, 500, 179 sittings. Thus it ap-
pears that in these eighty-four towns,
with An aggregate population of nearly
6, 900, 600, the Establishment provides
two-fifths of the means of public wor-
ship, and the religious bodies outside
of the Establishment three-fifths. The
increase ~ the various religious bodies
within these twenty-one years is stated
to be as follows: The Established
Church, 81 per cent. I; the Roman Cath
olic Church, so per cent. /; the Uni
tarians, 81 per cent. I; the Wesleyans,
"a per cent. /; the Congregationalists,
60 per cent. and the Beptists, 80 per
cent.

A Feeling Tribute.

A Philadelphia editor thus relieves
his mind on subject familiar to all
newspaper offices-the inevitable Pub.
Doc: ave owe our thanks to Judge
Kelley for the latest Patent Na'ce re-
ports. We already have sixte, hun
dred of these interesting volumes in
our little library, but they have been
read and re-read so many times that We
know every page of them by heart.
This new volume came opportunely and
gratefully on Christmas morning, and
that night we gathered our little family
around the fire and read it through to
them. The affecting tale entitled I'm
provement in Monkey Wrenches,
seemed to touch every heart, and when
we came to the climax of the little story
about Reversible Pieboards,' there
was not dry eve between the front
door and the stable. During the read
ing of the piteous narrative entitled
Gum Washers for Carriage Axles, the
whole family gave expression to bois-
ferrous emotion, and the hired girl was
so much excited that she lost her pres
ence of mind, and went around to her
mothers inadvertently with six pounds
of sugar and a butter kettle full of
-four, and came home at midnight in
toxicated. We can never sufficiently
thank Judge Kelley for the innocent
endowment thus furnished us. The
memory of that happy evening will
linger in our minds very much longer
than that hired girl ever fingers when
she lights on q lot of substance which
she thinks will suit the constitution of
her aged parents"

Stuck with his Cargo.

. An American ship, the Kingin, went
into Singapore with LOO coolies On
board. Her captain Deville) was to
receive Sl0,0 900 on delivery of his cargo
there; but, the $40, 900 not being forth
coming ON his arrival, he prudently
concluded to hold the coolies as collat-
eral.
After two weeks trial ne finds it a
rather troublesome job. His steamer
is broiling under tropical sun, reeking
and fuming with l, 700 coolies on board,
some above decks, some below, swarm
ing down over the side, dipping up wa
ter in buckets to cool themselves, and,
finally driven to desperation by the
sweltering heat, they commenced jump
ing overheard to try and swim ashore,
and thus escape the torments to which
they were subjected on board. The
persevering captain, determined t0
maintain his hold on his collateral till
his $40, 900 is paid, applied to the Uni
ted States Consul for aid, but in vain.
He had no authority to aid him in COL
lecting his debt or holding his slippery
collateral. He soon surrounded his
steamer with flotilla of floating small
craft to catch the flying, or rather SWIM
ming, fugitives. As fast as they are
picked up on one side they jump off on
the other, till one is reminded by the
lively scene Of the fisher boy with his
apronful Of the slippery finny tribe-as
fast as he picks up one another slips
out, till the fun becomes positively ex-
citing. ID
