WORKING NEWS SOCIAL CLUBS.

The Boston Globe having published an
editorial recommending the oreaniza-
tion of Workinsmen's Social Clubs in all
the cities and large towns, has received
letter. from Philadelphia saying that
five or six such clubs are in successful
operation in that city.
Gone, eutitled St. Marks Working
mems Club and Institute, has member
ship OF over 400. An inclosed card shows
us that the institute, which has been
four years in existence, possesses a
library of twelve hundred volumes, q
reading-room containing daily and weekly
pape.s, magazines and books of refer
ence, a recreation-rOOm, and smoking
room. Glasses OF instruction meet, four
evenings in week, and literary ami mu-
steal entertainments take place every al
ternate Wednesday. Connected with the
Club is q Beneficial Society for the as
sistance of its members in case of SICK
ness or death. Building. and Loan AS
sociation, savings fund, and Coal
Society, for the purpose of procuring
coal at cheaper rate than the retail
market price,"
We can not too strongly recommend
the organization of such clubs. They
could easily be made more efficient as
schools for practical education than the
colleges of the land. A small annual fee
FROM each member would equip such an
institution. This fee would be economi-
cal to the member, because, by provid-
ing him with free entertainment, he
would save several times the amount
which he would otherwise expend. In
addition to facilities for social enjoy
ment and for reading, lyceum could be
organized in which all the issues of the
day could be discussed, and the partici-
pants qualify themselves for participa-
tion in public affairs. Arrangements
could be made for the thorough teaching
of Political Economy, Political Philoso-
ply, Morals and History; 80 that the
members could be in the best of schools
every night and on Sundays, and not
lose'any working time.
Many able lectures ON these sciences
could be gratuitously obtained, and the
members could study the authors and
epitomize their views to the class, This
would afford the best possible drill in
composition and oratory, and be the
most efficient means OF developing
thought. Questions would continually
arise for discussion; and in few years
the mechanics Of Cincinnati might enjoy
the benefits of Lyceum exercises by
members who would be equal to any
legislators in the Republic. All the
members would make money by it, not
only by the economy of it, but by the ap-
plication to daily life and management,
of the increase Of intelligence thus Sc
cured.

No Distinction in the Church.

The members of Baptist chucrh in
Lynn, Mass, having erected new meet
ing-house, were troubled Tor q while over
the question how to dispose OF seats.
The method finally adopted Is thus de-
scribed by one of them: "When we came
together TO consider the best interests OF
the church, we determined that it should
never be shut to any Of Gods people who
might desire to worship there. The plan
of iree seats was discussed. Many o5-
jections to this methd. We then
thought of making each alternate pew
free. This, too, was rejected. The
thought of placing mere nominal price
on the pews, and raising the balance
needed for support Of worship by SUBJ
scriptions, did not meet approval. FL
nally, we united on this plan; we place
no price on the seats. To any one desir.
ing to worship with us we say. select any
unoccupied pew in the house which
pleases you, then decide how much you
feel able and think it your duty to pay
for the support of worship, and that shall
be your rent. Thus the one TO whom God
has given the ability to pay one hundred
dollars, and he whose restricted means
allow him to pay but one dollar, sit to-
gether us neighbors, and none save the
collector knows the poor from the rich.
As Gods treasures, we propose to accept
according to that Il man hath, and not
according to that he hath not.' Every
mans self-respact is regarded, and all
meet togetheras equals In Gods. house.
We claim that this Is Il true Gospel plan
for the support OF public worship, aud
we believe this our Masters house none:
too good nor elegant In which to Illus
trate it," a.

The Largest SILK Mill In Europe.

The Manningham Mills, near Bradford,
England, are said to be the largest silk
mills in the world. They cover an area
of about 81, 500 square yards, being nearly
II acres; and, reckoning the several sto-
ries Of the mill and warehouse, give a
total extent of tio0rage of about 10 acres.
The new mill, to the west, at the rear Of
the combing shed, is six stories high, not
including cellar, OF very handsome eX-
ternal appearance in dressed stone, hav-
ing Il bold cornice with blocks, and above
The staircase Is in the center of the
front, and stands clear out from the main
walls. and is more Ornamented than-the
rest OF the building, and with its turret-
formed roof, surmounted with large
flagstaff, makes beautiful feature in
the great length of frontage. The four
corners Of the mill are also marked by
raised parapets, which give II pleasing
effect to this large block Of buildings.
Each room contains an area OF 1000
square yards-,he tier of windows on
each side numbering Also that at a
rough calculation the whole mill will
give an area OF about Il, 900 yards. The
new warehouse, further TO the rear, par
allel with the mill, but separated from it
by the reservoir, is six stories nigh, and
will furnish, reckoning each floor, room
to the extent OF about 14,00O square
yards. The top rooms Of both ware
house and mill are arranged in II novel
form, having shed roofs, and may be used
tor loom weaving. A noteworthy fea-
ture in connection with the new works
is the erection Of an immense chimney,
of somewhat novel design, at the rear
of the central shed and ut the end of the
warehouse. IT. is already raised to a
considerable height, and an idea may be
yards high. square in form, and out
wardly Of uniform width from bottom
to top. Nearly 1000 tons weight of ma
terial will be used III its construction.
