GROWTH.
The Progress Made by the Several Denom-
nations of Recent Years.

One Of the subjects that occupied the
attention of the Plenary Council in Bal
timore is the growth Of the various re-
ligious denominations in the United
States. Expert statisticians were en-
ployed to compile figures. Their table,
which shows both the absolute and rel
alive growth, is interesting. By the
census OF 1860 the population of the
United States was 31,445, $50. The
present population is now estimated at
$4,000, o00. The gain in % years is,
therefore, %, 800, 900, or at the rate of
IS per cent. In 1850 there were $780,
900 Methodists in this country. Since
1860 the total has grown to $4,000, 900,
which is an increase of IS per cent,
keeping pace exactly with the increase
in population. The number of atiiliants
of the various Baptist churches in 1860
was 5000, 600. To-day it is -, 1000. 900.
The increase in 25 years is, therefore,
so per cent, q gain in absolute ratio,
but a falling Of when considered rela-
lively. The Presiyv @:#as in 1860 num-
bered 10000 Now they number
$500, 900, an incEeas. in 25 years of
so per cent. Tho Lnthcrans, who have
been materially heneiited by constant
and increasing emigration from Germa-
ny, Sweden, Holland and Norway, have
grown from !, $50, 600 in 1S6Oto 1000, 900
in 1ss4,o or at tle rate of go per cent. The
Congregationalisls have declined rela-
lively very much. In twenty-five years
they have advanced but q per cent,
that is, from 1,413,OO0 in 1860 to $780,
600 at present. On the other hand the
other various Reformed churches
Dutch, German and Evangelical-show
an increase of nearly so per cent, from
S1O.005~in 1860 to 1920. 600 to-day. The
Episcopalians show a fair increase in
numbers, yet one relatively below the
average. Their percentage Of gain is
335 per cent. in twenty-five years,
bringing up the total from 900, 900 to
l,2OO. 900. The Hebrews have in
creased from $50, 900 in 1860 to 700, 900
in 1884, Il full 100 per cent. Of gain.
The Friends, or Quakers, show an abso-
lutte as well as relative decline. They
have fallen 60 per cent.-from 10000
in 1860 to $50, 600 in 1884. The de-
nomination of Christians, who are nu-
merous in Kentucky, Southern
Indiana. Southern Illinois and Mis-
souri,, number 500, 000, against $780,
900 i'll 1860, an absolute gain Of 60 per
cent, yet a falling off relatively of Is.
But the most surprising feature of the
calculations just completed is the
growth of the Catholics. In 1860 they
numbered in the United States $780,
600. Now there are $500, 900. This is
a gain Of 200 per cent in twenty-five
years. Should the same ratio of in
crease continue to be preserved, they
would number fifteen years hence 25,-

Aboriginal Gratitude.

Awhile ago a man who has a ranch
close to the Texas line, and has some
very fine Jersey cattle down there, took
quite a fancy to a Kiowa Indian. He
went on a trip t. Fort Worth and took
the Indian along. They remained
about two weeks and the Indian came
back with 4 new suit of clothes that the
ranchman had purchased for him. A
few weeks after that the Indian got
short OF provisions, and what did he
do but go to the Jersey herd, take out
a COW that was worth at least one
hundred dollars and kill it. The agens
heard OF it, called up the Indian and
asked him why he killed that COW. The
Indian said he wanted some meat.
Il thought You were on friendly
terms with the owner" said the agent.

THE FIRE RECORD.

Burning of the Empire Plaster AIilIs-Narrow
Escape of Firemen.
NEW YORK. Nov. 1.-THE Empire plaster
mills, Nos. 81 and % Bethune street, six-story
brick building, owned by Augustus Isaacs &
Bro, caught fire between 3 and o'clock this
morning, and was almost completely destroyed
in less than an hour When the fire was discov-
cred an alarm was sent out at once About fif-
teen minutes after the fire broke out, and while
the fremen were engaged in stretching hose to
the building cloud of dense. thick smoke en-
veloped them, and they hao just time to jump
backward into the hallway when the whole east
ern end of the building in the rear fell in, and
the neighboring yards were covered with a mass
of bricks, plaster and machinery The noise
made by the falling walls gave the people living
in the surrounding houses the impression that
there had been an explosion, and this
added to the terror 1t was fortunate
however, that these walls fell in at
such an early stage Of the fire. for otherwise the
buildings on Bank street would have been in
great danger and it might not have been posi-
BILE to save them. By dint of hard work the fire
was confined altogether to the plaster mill and
none Of the adjoining or surrounding houses are
damaged to any extent. Mr.. Augustus Isaacs
estimates the loss on building, stock and ma
chinery at $780, 900. He is insured for 500 900 on
building and machinery and ST. 900 on stock. in
nine different English companies AS far as
known, no persons were injured.
