Nearly all the Presbyterian church
es in Philadelphia are being blessed
by additions every Sunday. This is
very encouraging and we hope that
the good work will still continue. We
also see bv ourexchanges that arcvival
spirit is in progress among the Presby-
terians all over the country, and hun
,Ireds are being added to their church

Church and State Gan Episcopal
paper) asks, and thousands in the same
Church are asking: "To what pur-
pose is it to attempt to convince men
that liberal views and generous sym
pathies have a recognized place in the
Episcopal Church, when Bishop
.,ives as one reason for Withdrawing 4
license to preach the gospel, that the
person holding the license has ofticiat-
I'd in a non-episcopal place of wor-
hip" The same paper, speaking OF
Bishop Potter, SAYS: "There are ma
ny in the diocese who are loyal to
him, but who are perfectly indepen-
dent in their opinions, and do not in
tend to yield any of the liberties
which are their inheritance III the
Church"
The Methodist ministers Of New
ark, n. J., are discussing the question
If permanent pastorate' in that de-
nomination. The opinion that per
manency is desirable gaining ground.
German McthOdists of Chicago do
not agree with their American broth
rem about the prayer crusade. Whilst
the American MethodiSts mostly favor
a crusade against the saloons, the
German pastors of the same church
in that city have declared against it.
A Baptist paper pron0unces Boston
a paradise Of ministers. A settle
ment, ii saws, is a life one, usually, if
the pastor 50 elects. The salary is lib
eral and the pay prompt. Several
preachers have lately had their sdla-
ries increased. DR.. Lathrop after a
settlement of forty years has had his
pay increased, making it now $4,000
u year. DIR. Webb another Baptist
preacher, has just had MS allowance
changed from 5000 to 1000 per an
mum.
The First Universalist church Of
Jersey City have called Rev. Phoebe
4. Hannaford to preach for them for
three years. She began her labor
Sunday. She has taken house in
Summit avenue, and on the 1st of
May will fit up and throw open the
hospitable doors of her parsonage.
The Rev. Phoebe A. Hannaford has
a son in college, a daughter of eleven
years who lives with her, and a hus-
band who is a physician in Boston.
She has clear voice and distinct ar
tlculation, is thoroughly feminine, vet
preponderatingly intellectual. She is
of medium size, has rich brown hair
and eyes, broad forehead, and bru-
nettecOmplexion. In the pulpit she has
the firm attitude, free GESTURE and fluent
delivery of the practiced speaker. She
was dressed in black silk; the trim

EVANSVILLE AND GREAT
SOUTERN RAILROAD.

The following extract in regard to
the above road is taken from the Ev-
ansville Journal of the I'd inst:
We are advised that the Vice Presi-
dent of the above road will leave in
few days for trip over the proposed
line for the purpose ofconferring with
the friends Of the project in the coun-
ties through which it is intended to
run, and taking such steps as may be
most expedient towards canvassing
for subscriptions of stock, right ofway,
etc. He will be accompanied by a
competent civil engineer, who will
make a general examination Of the
country previous to commencing IN
strumental surveys. The very great
benefit the building this road will
confer on the counties through which
1t will pass, and the necessity for its
early construction, should ensure for
these gentlemen the hearty cO-opera-
ton of all interested. The work to
be done necessarily involves a large
amount of labor, but if properly dis
tributed, it will not be oncrous on any
one. 1t would, therefore, be well for
the public spirited citizens along the
line, who feel interested in Its success,
to organize a movement among them
selves, without waiting for the few
officers of the company to do this
work along the entire line. The
Journal has already pointed out the
advantage this road would prove to
the people along the line. Nowhere
in the southwest is there a section of
country more in need Of a railroad,
nor one that can be more benefited by
having one; nor is there on the other
hand, a section of country that pos
scsses greater facilities for fl rniShing q
large and highly remuneratiye bust
ness.
The Directors have called meeting
of the stockholders of the company,
to be held at Evansville, on the 22nd
of the present month, and it is hoped
and expected that all who feel inter
ested in the success of the enterprise,
and can possibly do so, will visit
Evansville on that day.
In compliance with said request, the
Board of Mayor and Alderman at
their regular meeting last Monday APP
pointed Judge J. l.. Williamson, Mr..
+. 4. Collins and DIR. NJ. ID. l.. Jor-
dan to visit the proposed meeting and
present the advantages for and bene-
fits to be derived from locating the
road by way of Milan.
Aside from being on the direct line
from Evansville TO New Orleans, Mi
Ian is the grandest railroad center in
West Tennessee; which, coupled with
the enterprise of its citizens, is dcstin
ed to make it one Of the principal
cities of Tennessee.
Let nothing be lacking on the part
of the people of Milan and vicinity in
their Efforts to secure the location O!
the road to this place.

wartlly as stated, and eastwardly at
Norfolk, Charleston, and other points
on the eastern seaboard, and with
eastern cities. have heard it said
here that YOU desire more eastern
competition than you have. 1t seems
to me you ought to be more anxious
about your western lines. But with
this great inter-oceanic line adopted,
and the roads east of you having
an outlet by your city, and still west
ward by means OF roads that twill be
necessary to use, the strong pressure
of selfinterest viii compel your pres
ent Eastern lines beyond Col. Coles
road to reduce their charges to the
lowest possible rates. Here will then
be competitor clear through to the
Louisville and Nashville road. Self
interest in this case will prove ON
nipOtent.
But / must close. In CONCLUSION,
gentlemen, do not let any preju-
'dice to railroads sway you. The war
has interviewed, and very different
results, in many cases, have been
brought out. The owner of the soil Is
very much interested in railroads.
In 1852, when our internal improve
ment policy was adopted by the LegiS-
lature, the value Of real estate was, per-
haps, about 500, 900. In 1860
it was over double that sum, without
taking into the account the increased
value of real estate in towns and cities.
You have here, gentlmen, great
county, and one in the past that has
been alive to enterprise. But you
can notaff1rd to sleep. Railroads add
to the value Of labor, the labOrer get
ting more for his products, as charges
are reduced. Commerce has built
| Chicago, st. Louis and Cincinnati.
And they appreciate this. Look at
Cincinnati, giving ten millions even
for one great Southern road. You
have some great things here. You
have the capital of the State. You
have the great book concern and the
Vanderbuiit, and other great founda-
lions are being Laid. Other sections
of. the State have stood by you; now
in turn act equal to the great oppor-
tmity offered, which passed, can not
be recalled. 1t is a matter of value
received to you, ard | hope you will
act with imparti,,lity and with sense
of your interest in the premises as it
exists. thank YOU, gentlemen, for the
patient hearing You have given me.
After Mr.. Cooper finished hisspeech,
some discussion was had by the MEM
ber= Of the court, and the Importance
Of the Tennessee Central was agreed
to by many, if not all of the court.
But us the court was anxious to con-
slider the matter more ut length, the
application was filed to be heard at
the July term, ly which time We hope
all will be familiar with the merits
of this road, and it may have hear
ing On its merits.

Indiana Politics.

The farmers have been in session in
indianapolis, and resolved to issue the
following call to the people Of Indi-
ana:
Believing the people honest and
capable of self government; that the
old political organizations are corrupt;
that there is 40 trust to be placed in
the promise of either of the so-called
political parties; that there are no
questions that ought to divide the peo-
pie of Indiana; that the past dead is
sues should be buried with the past,
and that we should address ourselves
to the living questions Of the day, we
therefore invite the farmers and in
dustrial classes generally of Indiana,
to meet with us on Wednesday, June
10, in the city of indianapolis, to de-
wise ways and means to bring about
such reforms az will emancipate our
State from the intolerable burdens
heaped upon us by the misrule of cor
rupt party politics. Come, let us take
counsel together.

butter-milk are we all to live everlast-

French Academy read paper before
that great and learned body the other

the incrustations that form on the ar
ferries, cartridges and valves Of the

would prolong life far beyond the al

A coloted man named James Ellis,
says the Galveston (Texas) News, tells
wonderful story about tho narrow
escape of companion who accompa-
MED him out upon the beach last week
to fish. The two men, it seems, have
been in the habit of fishing every
morning, at an early hour, and always
go amply prepared with hooks and
lines adapted for the capture Of mem
bers of the tiuny tribe of all sizes. On
the morning specified above, Ellis and
his companion, Wash ---, threw in
their lines, after wading out some dis
tance into the surf, and according to
his usual custom Wash tied the line
about his left wrist. A short time af-
terward Ellis, who was some distance
to the eastward, heard Wash shouting :
I've got him I've got him !"
"What have you ketched 2" asked
Ellis.
81 believe it's whale or Jewish !"
answered Wash.
As Wash made this answer Ellis
noticed that he was being dragged for.
ward into the gulf, ard started to rem
der assistance, In the meantime Wash
was being dragged rapidly out to sea,
at times struggling with all his might
on his feet, and at other times sub
merged beneath the waves. 1t was
then that Ellis fully realized the peril
of his companion, having remembered
his habit of tying the line about his
arm while fishing. Fr
1t was an awful moment. With all
his efforts Ellis found that it would be
impossible to reach the struggling mar.
Already he had passed the first bar
a few moments more and he would he
in deep water, and not being able to
swim even if he succeeded in releasing
himself from the line, he must certain
ly perish. Suddenly, however, he was
noticed to stop, and standing upon his
feet raised both hands above the waves.
"Wash," shouted Ellis, rushing for
ward, "has you done got loose ?" !.
eyes, but, Lord bless you, it was a
tight squeeze, sure enough"
"What was it?" asked Ellis.
Wash replied that when he first
fastened on to it, he thought it was a
big red fish or gar, but a few jerks
convinced him that it was either a
whale or shark, most probably the
latter. At one time after crossing the
bar he saw it leap out of the water,
and it appeared to be about ten feet
long, as near as he could calculate.
The probability is that Wash will hold
his line in his hand the next time he
goes out to fish.

A FRIEND WORTH HAVING.

In the death of Mr.. Levi Blossom,
Milwaukee loses a public-spirited citi-
gen, and Senator Mat. Carpenter loses
conndentlA adviser, 10 wiIvu, ho
may attribute no small share of his
success. Mr.. Blossom was one of the
FIRST to suggest the building of lake
shore road from Milwaukee to Chica-
go. The project was regarded as ut
terly chimerical, as it was thought i'm
practicable for the road to compete
with the water route. But he entered
upon the work with extraordinary en-
ergy, and by a series of addresses to
the people along the proposed line,
induced them to subscribe literally
for ats construction. Thus the scheme
was pushed forward to realization
in the road which now constitutes the
Milwaukee division of the Chicago
and Northwestern system. 1t shows
how abundantly Mr.. Blossoms preset.
eloo was vindicated that now another
road has been built parallel to this,
and that both enjoy remunerative
business.
And this was by no means the only
enterprise that he conceived with ad-
mirable judgment, and promoted with
resistless energy and fertility of re-
source. Mr.. Blossoms relations with
Mr.. Carpenter were close and intimate
during a long term of years. The for
mer entertained toward the latter
warm personal friendship and high
appreciation of his abilities. When
Mr.. Carpenter became a candidate
tor the Senate, Mr.. Blossom, by saga.
cious counsel and vigilant membership,
doubtless contributed more than any
other one cause TO his election. When
Mr.. Carpenter visited New Orleans
last spring, Mr.. Blossom accompanied
him, and persons who were intimate
with both, could see in the formers
speeches in that city, which advanced
him considerably in the estimation of
the public, the traces OF his compan.
ions advice. 1t is evidence of the
friendship which the deceased felt to-
wards the eloquent senator, that his
confidence in his future never tagged,
and that in recent conversation with
the writer, he expressed an absence of
all misgiving but Mr. Carpenter would
Rcquit himself Of the Long Branch
