The Jerusalem Chamber, where the
New Testament company of revisers have
held their meetings since June %, 1870,
was originally the parlor of the Abbot's
palace, and is associated with many in
teresting events in English history. It
was to this spot that Henry ~. was con-
veyed when seized with his last illness,
and where he died, March 20, 1413. 1t
was here, in the days of the Long Par
lament, that the celebrated Assembly of
Divines, driven by the cold from Henry
VII. 3 chapel, held it's sixty sixth session
on Monday, October 2, 1643, and con
tinued to meet until it's closing session,
(the eleven hundred and sixty third, on
February %, 1649. Here were prepared
the famed Westminster Confession of
faith and the longer and shorter cate
chisms of the Presbyterian churches Of
Scotland, and, for many generations, of
the independents of England. Here
also, just SO years later, at the sug-
gestion of DR.. Tillotson, then Dean of
Canterbury, the memorable commission
appointed by William III. assembled to
devise basis for scheme of compre-
hension in a revision of the English
prayer-book. In the oblong room,
somewhat narrow for its length. measur-
ing about 40 feet from north to south,
and about 20 from east to west, the New
Testament company have held the larger
number of their sessions, the whole
number being 407, the total number of
attendances, 6, 426, and the average at
tendance at each meeting, Is. 8 members.
Their last meeting for the New Testa-
ment work ended at 81. NJ. November

WHILE the Northern Pacific Railway COM
jpany is pushing it's rails westward the Union
Pacific steps in and proposes to construct a
connection which will enable it to compete with
the former on through freight. The plan is to
build line of railroad from Granger, q point
on the Union Pacific, between Sidney and
Cheyenne, to connection with the lines of the
Oregon railway and Navigation company. It
is said that the maps and preliminary surveys
of the proposed route have been made. From
Granger to Baker City, Oregon, the distance is
$50 miles, and it is proposed to organize an in
dependent company in the interests of the
Union Pacific. Each holder of 100 shares of
Union Pacific stock will receive first mortgage
bonds of the new road to the amount of $4,000
and a bonus of ten shares Of stock in the new
company. This division will raise snm Of
$40, 100000 or over $18, 900 per mile of the road
to be constructed. This would seem to be a
dangerous blow to the Northern Pacific. which.
lying farther north, cannot be operated so
cheapiy in the winter season. The Southern
Pacific, which lies entirely below the snow line
will be hot competitor for the traffic of both
the southern routes.

and nearly half a million had gone out of cir

penny bit, however, still finds an honorable
place in the affections of the English people,
one of its chief functions being to drop with a
charitable clatter into collection plates in the

tempted to limit the issue, but to no purpose.

THERE arc many married women engaged in
teaching in Cincinnati, and resolution is to
be introduced into the school board for the dis
missal of them all at the close of the present
school year. The question of the fitness of a
married woman for teaching will doubtless re-
main debatable one. The ordinary reasons
assigned for a crusade against them are that
they are taking up the places which belong
rightfully to the girls who are without any
other means of support; that they ought to be
devoting themselves to the duties of their
homes; and that the cares of a husband and a
family leave them little energy for the per-
fornance Of school work. These considerations
are not without force, but solons of Cincinnati
set their reform upon different grounds. They
intend to dismiss the married women in the in
terest of morality. One of that class taught
until within two months of maternity and SO
shocked the delicate sensibilities of the trustees
that they are almost ready to ostracise every
schoolmarm who is not maid or a widow.

THE Austrian capital is suffering from til,

The Austrian capital is suffering from the
plague of birds, an unusual intliction for large
city. The invaders are sparrows, and they are
SO numerous and, withal, SO robust and bclige-
rent, that such winged favorites as the thrush
and nightingale have been driven from the city
by them. Indeed, the sparrows have become
SO great nuisance that the municipal authori-
les have been compelled to appoint a special
chasseur to wage war against them; and he,
armed with an air gun, now perambulates the
parks and avenues, silently pursuing the work
of destruction.
