Ministerial Salaries.

The New York correspondence of the
Troy Times, apropos of the Episcopal
convention in that city, presents an in
teresting army of figures, showing the
contrast between the salaries enjoyed by
the clergy of the metropolis and the
divines now assembled there from rural
parishes. 1t is a rare thing for a conn
try pastor to receive more than 81 900 a
year, though in large inland towns the
rates may be increased to 81, 900 and
even 50, 600; but only thriving cities
can give what really is q handsome sup
port. Commencing with this Episco-
pal body, its best paid clergy are Potter,
of Grace Church, and Morgan Dix,
each of which receives $12, 900 year
In addition to this both have elegant
rectories and thus live rent free. Grace
Church, over which Potter presides, is
very rich. The individuals who form
the congregation are solid and opulent
class, and when the house is full it con-
taines $40, 900, OOO William Morgan,
the rector of st. Thomas, has a salary
of $4,000, and Montgomery, of the
Church of the Incarnation, Haight, of
st. Paul's, and Swope, of Trinity
Chapel, are each paid $4,000. The
senior Tying, rector of st. Georges, IS
paid $5, 200, with a comfortable rectOry
adjacent to his church. The junior
Tying, rector of the Holy Trinity, re-
ceives the same salary. Rector Cook,
of St. Bartholomew's, receives $8, 900,
while John Cotton Smith is paid only
$1,000. The best paid and hardest
worked minister in the Presbyterian
Church is John Hall, whose salary is
500 payable in gold. He is pro-
digious worker, and, even in a profes,
sional view, earns his salary five times
over. The opulent Collegiate Dutch
Church pays its pastors $4,000 a year,
with a retiring pension of $1,000. These
fortunate divlnes are Chambers, Yer
mile, Ludlow and OrmistOn. In the
Universalist Church, Chaplin leads with
So, 900 year, but he is able to make as

patrons.

How Destruction of the Forest Growth
Affects a Country.

The Khanate of Bokhara affords a
signal illustration of the damage done
by denuding a country of its trees.
Thirty years ago the Khanate was one
of the most fertile provinces of Central
Asia, and, well-woOded and watered,
was regarded as an earthly paradise.
Five years thereafter mania for forest
clearing broke out among the inhabi-
tants, and continued to rage as long as
there remained timber to vent itself.
What trees were spared by rulers and
people were utterly consumed during a
civil war. The consequence of this
ruthless destruction of the forest growth
is now painfully manifest in the i'm
mense dry and arid wastes. The water
courses have become empty channels
and the system of canals constructed
for artificial irrigation and supplied
from the living streams has b, en- rem
dered useless. The sands of the des-
ert, no longer restrained by forest bar
riers, are gradually advancing and
drifting over the land. They will con-
tinue their noiseless invasion until the
whole Khanate will become a dreary
desert, as barren as the wilderness sep
arating it from Khiva. It is not sup
posed that the Khan has sufficient en-
ergy or the means at his command to
arrest the desolation that now threatens
to spread over his territories. The exam
pie is one to stimulate enlightened gov
ernments to avoid a similar catastrophe
by preserving a due proportion of for
est land in their domains, and bv res
toring those which have been improvi-
IDENTIFY laid bare.

An Eccentric Star

The most singular fact connected with
the proper motions of the stars is that
one or two stars are flying through space
with such enormous rapidity that the
combined attraction of all the stars
visible with the telescope could never
stop them. This seems TO be especially
the case with small star, invisible to
the naked eye, designated in astronomi-
cal literature as Groombridge, 1880, 4"
from the name of the astronomer who
first recorded its position. The rate of
motion of this star is about seven sec
Onds per year-the greatest known. It
was hence concluded that it must be
very near us, and a number of astrono-
mers have sought to determine its par
allax, but have found it to be only about
tenth of a second. Its apparent mo-
ton in year being seventy times its
parallsx, it moves at least seventy times
the distance from the earth to the sun
in a year, or eighteen millions of miles
every day, and more than two hundred
miles every second From what we
know OF the distribution, masses, and
number Of the stars, it seems probable
that the attraction of all the bodies in
the universe can never stop this head
long speed nor bring this star into any
OtbAe5 auu sua1 consequently II Will pass
through our universe, and leave it en-
tirely in its passage through infinite
space. IF we had accurate observations
of the stars position three or four
thousand years ago, we could speak
with more certainty of its destiny. We
may expect that our posterity of a few
thousand years hence will, by the aid of
the observations and tables we shall
transmit to them, be able to come to a
definite conclusion respecting the age
and the structure of the universe

Gossip About Celebrated Artists.

perfume up to the last moment, and
then hurriedIy throw them to her maid
when she had to appear on the stage.
While dressing, Fanny Ellsler was sub
iect to the deepest melancholy, which
disappeared, as though by magic, at
the sound of the music. When dancing,
Sue was, as it were, electrified by fever

The Shooting of Nevada '' Teams ,

Recently, at a saloon on the Divide,
some men we're discussing the shooting
affray which occurred during the morn
ing between two brothers-in-law, Full
man and Ward. It was agreed on all
hands that it was shocking bad shooting
"a discredit to WashOe. at least a
Phoebe man bantered the Comstock man,
whom he knew to be a good shot with a
pistol, to go out IN the back yard with
him and do some shooting, just to show
the "boys" how it should be done. In
the saloon was a box of eggs, and what
the Piocher proposed was that each
shoot two eggs off the bare head of the
other at the distance of ten PAGES, the
one missing to treat the crowd. The
Comstocker was bound not to be bluffed
by a man from the other end of the
state, so to the back yard all hands ad-
journed. Each man used his own six
shooter. The Oomstocker first bus
ted" his egg on the top of Piocher's s
head, which exploit was loudly applau-
ded by all present. 1t was then the
Piocher's turn to shoot, and an egg was
produced to be placed on the head of
the Comstocker, but when he removed
his hat there was a great laugh, for the
top of his was head as smooth as a bill
ilafO Dali. fOr 1uil ten minutes all 1anOS
tried in vain to make an egg stand or
his head. 1t couldn't be done. The
Piocher then tainted the Comstocker
with having gone into the arrangement
knowing that he was safe. The latter
told him to set up his egg and he was
all right-he was there. The Piocher
went into the saloon, and a moment af-
ter came out with a small handful of
-four, which he dabbed upon the bald
head of the Comstocker and then tri-
umphantly planted in it his egg, fell
back ten steps, and then knocked it'off
The Comstocker then told him to put
up his second egg and shoot at it, as he
didn't want tn have his head chalked
twice during the game. This was done,
and the wreck of a second egg streamed
over the Comstocker's pate. The Pio-
cher now stood ont with his last egg on
his head. The Comstocker raised his
pistol and fired. The Piocher boun ed
a yard into the air and the egg bounced
whole from his head. 'fIve lost T. said
the Comstocker. 'Let all come up and
drink. By a slip I've put half the
width of my bullet through the top of
his left ear - and so it proved upon
measurement.-V Virginia city Enter

Female Taste.

A cultivated taste marks a woman Of
elegance and refinement Rs decidedly as
knowledge of classical literature does
gentleman and there Is nothing IN
which female vulgarity is more clearly
shown than in want of taste. This is
an axiom that We think will not admit
of dispute; but IL is q question how far
taste is natural, and how far IL may be
acquired. A delicate taste must, TO
certain extent, depend upon the orgnni-
cation Of the individual and it is i'm
possible for any rules to be laid down
which will impart taste to persons en-
tirely devoid of IL. But this is very
seldom the case with women, as il Is
one of the few points in which women
naturally excel men. Men may be, and
probably are, superior TO women in all
that requires profound thought and
general knowledge but in the arrange
ment of a house, and the introduction
Of ornamental furniture and articles Of
biiouterie, there can be no doubt Of the
innate superiority of women. Every
one must have remarked the difference

and one where a lady presides the
