season of street preaching III New-Eork with ser
vices Of song and preaching ut the Roosevelt street

use of the choir. stood on he sidewalk facing the
open square. lramps, laborers, women and chill
dIen listened eagerly to the preachers announce
ment that, at the close ot the services
bread and coffee would be distributed free to
all. The crowd listened throughout the services
with respectful silence and joined with interest in
the singing. The order OF exercises consisted of a
short address or prayer and singing. DIR. Reunion,

streets of Now York, ana SAID that II was the hap

crowd formed into a hollow square and l2O pounds
of bread and twenty gallons OF steaming hot coffee

from two little carts that held the provisions. The
bread and coffee rapidly disappeared, when the

Presbyteriaus North ana south.
Philadelphia Pres.

fniAAdeiphla Press.
The union OF the Presbyterian
church North and South, which has
been expected as a result Of the
action taken by the two Assemblies
last May, has been put in peril, it is
said, by secret circular sent out by
the opponents Of union among the
Southern clergy, designed to fore
stall the action of the Presbyteries
1t is difficult to believe that action
of this sort can prevent a union
which would in the end bring to-
getheT two bodies which include be
tween them nearly three quarters Of
million communicates. The sta
tistics Of the Northern church, for
1882, just published, show the largest
increase in any of the past FIVE years.
The ministers are 5145 against 1901 in
1878; the cOmmunicants 592, l28
against 567 ,S55. and the churches
5744 against 5269 at the same date
1t is a deeply signifcate fact, how
ever, that the additions by examina-
tion are in 1882, 29,3S9 against 32,-
277 in 1873, and the infant baptisms
l9O26 now against 1926 four years
ago. This points to a loss in the
growth. The Southern church has
in 1882 1881 ministers against 1914
in 1879; 20l0 churches against 1873.
and 123,8O6 COMMITMENTS against
ll4,578 at the earlier date. On the
other hand additions on examinations
were 6O62 in 1882 against 6375 in
1878, and infant baptisms 4769 against
1861. 1t is difficult to remit the un-
welcome impression of these figures
that the vital growth Of great de-
nomination is stayed, at least for the
present.
On the other hand, it is gratifying
TO note that the contributions of the
Northern church have risen from $8..
28l ,956 in 1873 to So, ,240, 1893 in 1882, a
relative advance nearly twice as great
as that in church membership OF
this increase little short OF million
dollars, one halt was in addition to the
running expenses of the churches,
which rose from Sc .333, $50 to Sc. .8G2. =
64O AS the relative increase is less
than thatin the number ofchurebes the
average cost of maintaining them has
decreased. Very nearly the largest
relative increase is in foreign missions,
the contributions to which have risen
one-fourth, from 1870, l22 to 1856, ,2l9.
The contributions OF the Southern
church have increased in much less
proportion, raising from 81, ,03O,671 in
1873 to 81, ,l30, 1873 in 1882. Congrega-
tlonal expenses and pastors salaries
absorbed $836,3l6 at the earlier date,
and $685., ,65S at the later, a much larger
share being expended on local minis
trations than in the north. Taken
collectively these figures present the
imposing aggregate Of a denomination
whose two branches, identical in all
but ecclesiastical machinery, include
clergy OF 6l26 educated men, 714,93
church members, 7744 churches, 629,-
934 Sunday-school scholars, and $l0,-
3O,530 of annual contributions, Of
every dollar of which it may be said
that it promotes the highest we'll being
Of society.

THE Scimitar establishment has
been removed to 15l Jefferson street,
where it will be issued in future. The
paper has also come out as a Monday
morning issue, which will doubtless be
agreeable to its readers and profitable
to the management. We notice
this week a decided improve
ment in the general appearance
and make up of the paper. There is
evidence unmistakable to the practical
eye Of new type and skillful press
work. Taken altogether, in journal
istic appearance, the Scimitar is fully
equal to the best weeklies of the
East. So much for man
knowing his business. General
Turner is an accomplished typo,
and has had a great variety of that
peculiar experience necessary to
develop thorough newspaper man.
In that he has a great advantage over
an ordinary beginner, however well
educated and supplied with funds. AT
one time he was foreman of the New
Orleans Commercial Bulletin, at
that time one of the handsomest
papers of its class in the South,
AS writer ho is bold, pungent and
yet gracefully rhetorical, even as he is
as a speaker. If General Turner
aided by the excellent talent he has
around him, cannot make the Scimital
a success, it will be because the field
does not sustain such an enterprise
However, the paper has every
appearance Of prosperity. Weekly
Journalism has not heretofore flourish,
ed in Southern cities, but a few bold
| well directed ventures seem likely Il
succeed. We are glad to observe thi!
as an evidence that we are becoming
more of a reading and more cultured
people; that home talent is recognized
aud that every laudable effort stands {
better chance of reward than in ante
bellum days OF all cotton and spars,

Mr.. j. H. Smith, the newly ap.
pointed postmaster of this city, has
forwarded his oath, boad and other
necessary papers to Washington, upon
which his commission will doubtless
be issued in few days. When that
is received he will be ready to assume
the duties Of the Office. His bond,
we understand, is signed by several
Of the best men Of Memphis, and is no
doubt gilt edge. Mr.. Smith is a native
ofShelby county, Kentucky, and came
to Memphis about 2S years ago, and
has never lived out of Shelby county
in his life. AS bookkeeper and ac-
countant he is an expert. He
has held various important
positions in public Offices and
mercantile houses. At sthe time Of
his appointment he was in the service
OF the Pratt Mining Company, at Bir-
mingham, Ala, but his home was still
here. The first news he had of his
appointment was read in a Montgom-
cry paper. He is thoroughly cOmpe-
tent, and will readily master the
details of the Office and run it in a
thoroughly business-like manner. AL
though always a Republican, he has
never been politically or personally
offensive to his Democratic neighbors
and since it seems that a change had
been determined upon for political OF
other reasons, the appointment is
quite acceptable to the business com
munity. Mr.. Smith is a member ol
the present illustrious Legislature, but
it is pretty safe to bet that he will not
be a candidate for reelection.
