Beecher's Salary.

It appears from "The History Of
Plymouth Church." Brooklyn, N. T.,
that the salary of Henry Ward Beecher
was at first, in 1s47, 81, 500, to be in
creased on the third year to $4,000. In
1859 the salary was $1,000 In 1866,
$12, 500; in 1870, $4,000. The pew
rent in 1858 was 81, ,157; in 1859, $780,
600; in 1868, $4s, 900; in 1872, $50, 900.
In 1868 a quartette was introduced,
whose aggregate salaries, with that of
the organist, are $1,000. The helper
a clergyman who does the pastoral work
and the sections receive 81, ZOO, max
ing the whole amount Of salaries $35,

pupils was, in 1872, 1873, besides some
eight hundred connected with mission

Equal to the Situation.


A rich broker in San Francisco lately
made desperate effort to prevent his
pretty daughter from marrying man
who mended harness for $65 month.
The girl loved the man, and seemed de-.
termined to go ahead with the business
of true love. The broker offered the
harness -mender $1,000 to desert his
daughter forever. The young man re-
fused the bribe as no equivalent for his
claim. He then went to the young mans
employers to get them to discharge
him. They could not think of doing
this, as he was good, faithful fellow,
and gave entire satisfaction-so the old
broker didn't know what to do next.
His daughter helped him out of his un-
certainty, but plunged him into deeper
trouble than he had ever known before.
She disappeared one day, and search
for her proved unavailirrg. In two or
three days traces of the missing girl
were found in the Office of Justice of
the Peace. There was record there of
her marriage with the faithful harness
mender. The broker draped his house
in mourning according to the custom Of
his religion, and of course regards his
daughter as dead. She Immediately
found q place as saleswoman in mil
linery store at $45 q month, and S45
and $65 make $110, which is not o.bad
a figure after all for young married
couple to cut. 1t is just the sort Of
beginning that founds happy home,
into which mothers-in-law are not apt
to enter with their disturbing influences,
and fathers do not break through and
steal their daughters away.

A Picture from Life.

Imagine, says New York cores
pondent Of the Cincinnati Commercial,
q handsome young fellow, an Alsatian
Frenchman, with pair of purple vel
vet knee-breeches, q pair Of snow-white
stockings coming to his knees, at which
they are trimmed with lace; pair OF
low shoes with silver buckles, white
linen jacket, four. cornered hat OF
white linen, and carrying large light

France. I am not describing circus
performer, or q grotesque humbug per-
ambulating the streets for boys to laugh
at. I saw him, and more than one OF
his kind, in the bright early hours OF q
recent Sunday morning, going round
from house to house Supplying their
customefs with the bread:rolls in qtes-
ton. This style 6t thing is compare
lively new, and has been Introduced by
Alsatian exiles. The young mans cos
tune looks entirely appropriate in its
purity, tastefulness, and gayety. he
seems like vision and reminiscence OF
the far-gone times. His feecy rolls
brought back to ones imagination the
ages when as yet Biddy was not, and
when the various craftsmen carried on
their labors as though they meant to
please and delight those whom it was
their privilege to serve. The French
are the only people who can give color
and charm to the arts of daily life.

Australian Method Of Cooling Water.

Large buckets of canvas, says the
Bulletin du Musee, are made about
4 feet high and Is inches in diameter.
A bag of linen or flannel stretched
across the top serves as sieve and a
siphon a wooden cork and canvas
tube inserted below the level of the
water are used to draw off the contents.
These reservoirs are suspended to
branches of trees in shady places and
exposed to the light breezes which in
summer always existin Australia. From
the damp surface of the vessels rapid
evaporation takes place, which keeps
the water within at temperature much
lower than that of the surrounding air.
This arrangement is on the same
principle as the water jars, or "mon-
keys" used in tropical countries and
the east of Europe. The latter are
merely unglazed earthenware jugs, hay
ing very small neck and spout. We
have never seen them used in the United
States, but should imagine that during
the summer months, and particularly
in event of ice famines, such as we have
been threatened with during the past
two years, they might be advantageous
ly employed. The jars may be made
by any potter from ordinary clay at
very small expense. By suspending
them in a current of air, the water with
in is kept during the hottest weather at
a delicious GOODNESS, and at tempera-
ture much more healthful than that
produced by the copious use of ice.
The vessels may be nodded in fancy
shapes, SO as to be ornamental for table

French Love and Patriotism.

The Gaulois, in announcing that q
young lady of rank recently took the
veil in a Partisan nunnery, thinks it
proper to "reveal. a fact" which it evil
dently thinks too good to be lost. Her
fathers chateau during the war became
the headquarters of some twenty Prus-
sian officers. One day, on sitting down
to dinner, zone of them forgot himself
so far as to clasp the young lady around
the waist. She took up long knife
and stabbed him to the heart. She
was arrested, but released in day or
two on the order of Prince Frederic
Karl" Another story is that an officer,
who fought most gallantly at Metz, was
sent prisoner to Germany, and while
there fell in love with and married a
German girl. The other day he re-
turned to Paris, and went to his club as
usual, but to his surprise he was imme-
diately expelled, on the ground that he
had married into Prussian family.

The Death Of Dead .Headism.

The Springfield Republican says =
The widely-extended prevalence and
gross abuses of dead-headism" in this
country are producing the natural re-
suit of grand reaction, and the whole
system is being fast swept away. The
last Congress cut it wholly out Of the
post=ofics. From and after the 1st Of
July, neither paper nof issitss asT pack
age of any kind is to be carried in the
mails without pay. This abolition Of
the free privileges of the newspapers is
not very great thing in itself. At the
outside it will not bring a-half million
dollars into the public treasury, but it
enforces principle which Is altogether
right, and we regret to see any portion
of the press deprecatihg and !9enounc-
ing it. The free circulation in the cotln-
ties was an especial demand of and
boon to the country press; but we 40
not believe its loss will be found to
harm any real good local paper. No
man will give up his county paper, If
it is made of any value to him for
the matter of 20 cents postage. If it is
not worth thatsum additional to the old
price; it is not worth an existence. The
payment of postage on their exchanges
will generally be regarded at first q
greater burden to the newspapers; but
in the end it will prove greatly econom-
ical to the press, by reducing the mum.
Der of exchanges which they send and
receive. Nearly every paper has twice
or thrice as many exchanges as it really
needa.

A Writing Machine.

There is now an automatic writer, the
work of western inventor, that bids
fair to realize most of the purposes of
such an instrument. The operator sits
before three or four rows of keys,
marked with the letters, figures, and
punctuation marks, and upon pressing
one Of these the letter Is instantly re-
corded on sheet of paper. Speed to
the extent of fifty words a minute is
said to be easily attainable, which is
perhaps twenty words more than rapid
long-hand writer will average. Greater
speed, greater ease, and greater legibii-
ty would seem to recommend the inven-
ton as one that may become very SER
yiceable to overworked mankind.

Will Not Leave Home.

Mr.. Bailey. of the Danbury News, in
reply to an urgent call, backed by offers
of many ducats, to go to New York,
says: Your big gcity likes fresh oranges;
but it very quickly sucks them dry, and
throws them away. I don't want to be
sucked dry right off f; SO I think I'll re-
main where I am. I've seen from my
country home how clever fellows turn
out who go to New York with grand ex-
pectations. They gave up something,
and in the end found nothing. I am
glad you want to have me come, and
I'm gladder that don't want to go.
Danbury, insignificant village as it is,
is good enough for me and as I don't
want to steal anything, or get murdered,
or get up reputation for genius, I re-
spectfully but firmly decline to pitch
my tent IN Gotham"

Australian Towns,
ntbonv Trollope savs Chat the

Anthony Trollope says that the coun-
try towns of Austria generally are
not attractive, and it is hardly to be
expected that they should as yet be 30.
There are, of course, exceptional in.
stances.-Ballaarat Geelohs, and Beech
worth in Victoria, are exceptions, as
are also taunceston. in Tasmania, and
Strathnlbin and Mount Gambler in
South Australia, which, from peculiarly
of situation, or the energy of indi'
viduals, have become either %ell-built
cities or pleasant little towns. No
doubt there are others which I was not
able to visit. But, generally, there is
q raw newness about these congrega-
tions of houses, an initiation of streets
which as yet are no more than initiated,
a deficiency in pavement and macada-
mization which leads either to dirt or
mud, an apparent admixture of pre,
and failure which Is indeed
indispensable to towns founded with
hopes of future greatness, but which
creates feeling of melancholy sadness
in the mind of stranger. 1t could
hardly have been otherwise, and yet it
grieves us to see that they VIII have
diligently made their plans, intending
to produce comfort, social neatness,
and sometimes even urban magnifcence,
should as yet have succeeded in pro-
ducing only discomfort, untidiness,
and insignificance. In old countries,
such as our own, towns have grown up
almost without an intention on the part
of any founder. Cities have formed
themselves out Of VILLAGES, i &c use it
has suited first tbs man and then that
to carr. his bread in this or that local
ny. Consequently our streets have
been narrow and crooked, our spaces
confined and often ill-arranged, and
our supply of water and air insufficient
for an Increasing population. We are
daily compelled to pull down that we
may rebuild, and are almost angry with
ourselves, or with those who went
before us, in that there has been so
little foresight among us as to the
wants of mankind. But it has resulted
from all this that we are not, as rule,
incomplete, pretentious, or unpictur-
esque. The new countries however have
taken lesson from the deficiencies of
the old countries, and have commenced
their towns on certain plan, with wide
streets and large spaces, and straight
long lines, 80 that coming generations
of thronging men may be able to build
their houses in spots properly prepared,
and to move about without knotting
themselves into convenient crowds, as
men have to do in the old cities. When
the generations shall have come, this
will be very we'll, and the wisdom of
the founders will be acknowledged
but in the meantime the new towns are
ugly, and generally dirty.

The Black Sea Fleet.

Russia is making rapid progress in
the organization of feet on the Black
Sea, having in service several monitors
finished last month. There are still
two monitors on the stocks at Nikolaief,
respectively named the Novogorod and
the Kief. These are the circular moni-
tors of Admiral Popoff-monitors in
tended to revolve themselves bodily III
about their own length, instead of hav-
ing turrets. Each of them is of some
twelve or thirteen hundred tons burden,
and each has six parallel keels, with a
system Of half dozen sister screws.
The screws can be worked separately,
if it is required to twist the tubby for
tress round on its own axis.

A Gas.PrOpelled Boat.

Mr.. William A. Leggo, of Montreal,
Canada, is the author of novelmethod
of propelling vessels, designed especi-
ally for canal boats, to overcome the
difficulties of horse towage. He dis
cards steam wheels, ropes and other
common eontrivances. ALI that Nh.
Leggo uses is large bent pipe which
is attached to the stern of the vessel,
the mouth Of the pipe being placed un-
der water, pointing stern-wise. The
pipe rises to the deck, and at the upper
end Of the pipe is a gas light and valves
that open inwardly for the admission Of
hydrogen gas and atmospheric air. AS
soon as enough hydrogen and air have
entered, to wit, two parts of hydrogen
to one of oxygen, the mixture takes fire
from the gas light, an explosion en-
sues, the valves are closed, and the
great pressure produced finds vent at
the mouth of the pipe, acting against
the water and driving the boat ahead.
The valves then close again, the gases
flow in, new explosion takes place,
and 80 on. These explosions follow
with as much rapidity as the motions Of
steam engine piston, and thus the
boat soon acquires a regular velocity.
Whether the manufacture, cost, and
storage of the gas, and the working of
the gaseous motor will equal the
economies and conveniences of steam
power and its propelling appur-
tenances remains for Mr.. Leggo to
ascertain by trial. But we think he
will find that steam is the cheapest and
simplest motor, take it all in all. The
same amount of fuel that he requires to
produce the gas and work the gas en-
gine will yield a greater amount of use
full motive power if used in connection
with proper boiler, engine and pro-

A Scene In Boston,

Recently young man, poorly but
neatly clad, applied for lodgings at a
police station, stating that he had just
arrived in the city, and was penniless
and heart broken. He was slowly dying
with consumption, and, alone in the
cold world he sought only place to re-
main until he died. His cheeks were
sunken, and his hollow voice too plainly
proved the truth of his story. "I can
do nothing but put you in warm cell, !"
said the kind-hearted lieutenant; (;
"nothing but that, and you could
scarcely breathe there. If l send you
to the City Hospital, you will be turned
away, for they receive no incurable
cases there. Haven't you relatives who
will take care of you?" "Not one, sir.
I haven't relative in the world who
knows of my existence. I can't stay
long here, sir. 1t won't be only little
while that shall cumber you with my
presence. Can't I find somewhere some
corner where I can lay down and wait !?
For humanity's sake, sir, don't tell me
that dying man must go into the
street" And here the poor fellow
broke down, and the tears which ran
down his cheeks and the sobs of agony
which convulsed his frame showed the
bitterness which he suffered. The lieu
tenant sadly shook his head, and, after
q small collection had been made in his
behalf, the poor boy sought refuge else
where. His future is unknown. The
statement, however, shows the neces-
sity of some sort of an institution where
the sick and homeless poor can be shell
tered. At present the authorities can
do nothing with applications like the
above, except to tender the cheerless
shelter of prison cell.
