Henry Ward Beecher receives sal.

part owner of the Christian Union news
paper; he is voluminous author, hay.
ing written over thirty books; he obtains
very large fees for performing marriage
ceremonies, and he says that he made
twelve thousand dollars on the lecture
trip. For contributing to Bonner's
Ledger and other journals, Mr.. Beecher
10 said to receive several thousand dol
lars per annum. We have frequently
heard his friends say that his yearly
income has been from $40, 900 to $50, 1000.
Now il he only saves his salary from
Plymouth Church and spends the re-
mainder of his income, he would have
been able to lay aside $4,000 In ten
years, not counting some $l4,0O0 interest
to be added to the principal. Yet, two
years ago he mortgaged his house for
$4,000. Wen bet the old lady, however,
has got something salted down to sur
prise him with when a.reverse comes.

A correspondent OF the New York
Post, writing from Newport says that
it is evident that the watering place is
destined to have one of the best seasons
this year that it has had for many years.
The correspondent is led to believe this
from the fact that building of summer
residences has of late great tly increased.
About eighty cottages are already en-
gagged, and numerous rooms have been
rented at the Ocean and Acquidneck
Houses. During the past four months
the real estate transactions have
amounted to about $250,000, very large
future summer residents. Professor
Alexander Agassiz is constructing a
wharf for his steam yacht AETNA. The
total cost of the buildings, whose con-
struction is going on under the personal
supervision Of. Charles H. Slack and
William Bugbee, the architects, OF Bos-
ton, will be about 100000. The cottages
already engaged rented generally lor
higher sums than formerly, the prices
varying from 5000 to 5000 for theseason,
the latter amount being the largest ever

nations, Boards Of Publication, and the
National Societies, as the American

something of surprise to others. Later
news from Torbay conveyed informa-
tion to the effect that the cable was in
splendid working order, the signals from
Ireland being perfect.
The new cable runs from Rye Beach,

The other day at the Glasgow Central
Police Court a young man named Robert
Hamilton was charged before Bailie
Young with having attempted to pick
the pocket Of ladies in Ingram street.
From the evidence it appeared that the
prisoner, who had for some time past been
a regular attender at revival meetings,
was standing the other day in crowd
which had collected IN Ingram street,
and who were engaged singing hymns
from the hymnal published BY Messrs.
Moody and Sankey. While singing at
the top or his voice, and apparently with
high-strung devotional feeling, "Hold the
fort, for am coming" the prisoner was
observed to insert his hands into the
pockets of five different ladies'. The last
lady whom he attempted to rob seized
him in the act, and caused him to be
handed over to the police, who took him
into custody. He was committed to
prison for sixty days.
