WASHINGTON, Aug. 10 superintendent
Robert p. Porter makes public the prelm
mary figures Of the church statistics Of the
eleventh census, which are both curious and
interesting There are shown " be in tho
United States nearly $50 separate and dis
tinot church organizations holding TO wide
ly different creods, varying greatly in prac-
tice and representing all possible variations
Of church polity.
There are dozen different branches Of
the Presbyterian family There are some
denominations that will answer only to the
simplest, most indefinite title p for ex-
ample, the Brethren. There are various
churches that claim to be simply Brethren.
-Four Of these are branches Of what are pop
ularly called Plymouth Brethren, but they
do not own the title plymouth" nor is
there any designation which they have
adopted by which these four bodies Of Ply
mouth Brethren may be distinguished from
other brethren. There are two Reformed
churches, known as the "Reformed Church
in America and the Reformed Church in
the United States"
Some Peculiarities.
Some Of the denominations were never
numbered before, and it required the
utmost powers OF persuasion to induce
them to submit TO the process. Sects have
been found and enumerated who claim less
than 100 communicates. Here are seven scots
which altogether number now only about
1900 persons, and yet own church ediilces
worth $4,000; Shakers, Amananites, Men
MONTE, Harmony, Separaists, New Icarian
and Altruists. All societies observing the
communal life, whether founded on re
/ ligious or secular belief, are embraced in the
returns. Two of these societies are not re-
[ ligious, the Icaran and the Altrulst. but are
organized to apply a social principle.
After the seven great denominations
| Congregational, Lutheran, Methodist, Pres
byterian, Roman Catholic, Baptist aud
/ Episcopal-have been accounted for, the
other 1874 religious associations represent
less than 10 per cent Of the church edihces
and less than Il per cent. of the aggregate
I value of church property.
Some Of the subdivisions of the Baptist
churches are peculiar. The uninitiated per-
son thinks it difficult TO define the differ.
ence between the Seventh Day and the six
principal Baptists, between the Mudhead
Baptists and the River Brethren, between
the Primitive and the Free win, between
the Original Free win and the old Two Seed
in Spirit, between the General and the Gen
eral FREQ win. Besides these there are also
the Regular South, Regular North and the
Regular Colored Baptists. The Society Of
Friends are divided into the Orthodox anG
the Hicksite the Wilburite and the Print
tive branches There are seventeen or eight
cen different branches OF the Lutheran
church Ina this country.

An Eccentric Judgment.

Captain King, at one time, Gov
ernor in an Australian colony, was
noted for his eccentricities. One day
he was waited upon by two prisoners
suing for pardon. The petition Of
one was signed by all the leading men
of Sydney; that of the other bore
bnt one name.
"How comes it that you have only
one name on your petition, while this
man has so many?" asked the Gov
ernor.
Il have lived with only one master
all my time, sir. 1 didn't know any
body else, answered the man.
The Governor Immediately gave
him his pardon, but dismissed the
other applicant with the remark:
you know so many rich people
that you don't need anything more. !"
