MRS. LEONORA BARRY, member of the

glishmen were guests, she was called upon

This remark is the more noticeable from
the fact that it is q phase of the question
commonly ignored by women who publicly
advocate the rights of their sex. So much
is said about opening new of labor

that women should fit themselves to be

England, and under DR.. Tennent's fac
ulty of imbuing his pupils with his own
scholarly industry and earnestness, it
was a great success. His own son Gill
bert, who was a close friend of George
Whitefield and of Benjamin Franklin,
became a teacher in the college, and was
afterward a famous preacher. His sec
ond son, William, was also a preacher,

THE dispatches relative to the Post
master-general's alleged scheme of unit
ing the postal and telegraph systems are
somewhat vague. as no doubt his own
ideas on the subject are as yet, but
enough appears to show that he is re-
volving the idea, and that something
may come of it. The project is said to
be to utilize the free-delivery system for
tie collection and delivery of dispatches,
and by this dispensing with telegraph
messengers, get greatly reduced rates
for the public, and popularize the serv-
ice. 1t is a large scheme, but it seems
to contain the elements of possibility.
1t would be a step in the direction of a
postal telegraph, and would probably
end In the government taking entire
charge of the business. The Postmaster
general, however, has no present author
ity to act in the bushes, and even if he
decides the scheme is feasible, he can do
no more than discuss and recommend it
in his annual report.

A PRESBYTERIAN ANNIVERSARY.

Elaborate preparations have been made
at Huntsville, Pa, to celebrate, on Thurs
day of this week, with all the honor due so
imposing and interesting an event, the
163d anniversary of what is known as
'the cradle of American Presbyterian
ISM" According to the New York Trib-
une. tits to the zeal and research of the
Rev. DR.. T. Murphy, of Pennsylvania,
that the site of this long-vanished cradle
has been discovered, and this interest
ing commemoration service held. Sew
eral years ago, under the patronage of
the North Philadelphia Presbytery, DR..
Murphy began a compilation of the his
tory of the Presbyterian Church in Penn
sylvania. In his researches he began to
encounter references to "Log College,
an almost unknown institution to the
present generation, and of which no adj
equate record existed. He industriously
set to work to trace its origin, history
and influence, not only upon Presbyteri-
anism in Pennsylvania, but throughout
entire America. From this investiga-
ton has been learned that "Log Col
lege,n the cradle of American Presbyte-
rianism, was founded in 172G, by the
Rev. William Tennent, whose name is
associated with the entire early history
of this sect in.this country. He was an
Irishman by birth and training, had been
q priest in the Episcopal Church in Dub
lin, but, upon coming to this country,
became a Presbyterian. In Huntsville,
Pa, he had established his home, and
there was not in that town, or in the
region roundabout, any theological
school where he could educate his sons
for the ministry. From this necessity
sprung LOG College"-literally, a log
building, less than twenty feet square,
and consisting of a single room. 1t
stood just across the road from DR.. Ten
nent's own house, was built largely by
his own hands, and, when opened to re-
ceive applicants for Presbyterian teach
ings, he was himself president and fac
ulty, and his four sons were the students.
From this humble beginning, the log
school of theology entered an existence
of twenty years, and of nation
al Importance. 1t is a matter
for sregret that no authentic
record of it's course of study, its students
and alumni can now be found; but many
men, afterward famous preachers, were
nurtured in their chosen doctrine under
its humble roof. 1t was the only theo-
logical school in America outside of New

they reached six figures. The immigra-
ton that year was 104,565. Ten years
later, in 1852, it had reached 81 Goa, and
in 1854 it was 2 1883. From that it fell
off suddenly and largely, dropping to
100000 in 1856, and to 81, 9S5 in1S62. After
the war it began to increase again, until
in 1872 it reached 49,, $50, and in 1882
touched high-water mark at 730,349.
Since then there has been a falling off,
till last year the immigration was 525, 019,
and the indications are that for 1889 it
will be considerably less.

8 THE spoilers finger is upon the Insti-
tuition for the Blind. Two instructors
of experience, and highly recommended
by Superintendent Jacobs, are dropped
because they have been there for some
time and a change seems desirable to
the trustees, and because, in the opinion
of Trustee Riley, who knows as much
about the needs of the blind as Sitting
Bull does about French politics, they
are not exactly suited to the positions.
When the Blind and the Deaf and Dumb
institutions are put in the same cate
