RELIGIOUS AND EDUCATIONAL.

-
There are about thirty-six hospi-
tails in and about New York. Collec-
tions were taken up for them in the
churches on the last Sunday of the
year..
Rev. DR.. Alexander Crummell, the
well-known colored Episcopal clergy
man of Washington and rector of st.
Luke's church in that city, has been
fifty years in the ministry.
The Homilectic Review says that
the advantages Of a theological educa-
ton were first afforded in this country
to women candidates for the ministry
in 1883, at the Meadville Theological
school.
Rev. Timothy Dwight Hunt, who
died recently Mt Whitesborough, n. Y,
organized the first Presbyterian church
in California in lsl0. and was one Of
the pioneer missionaries to the Sand.
witch Islands.
What becomes OF English girl grad
yates Is indicated by statistics of
Newnham, recently collected by Mrs.
Henry Sidgwick, the principal. OF 667
graduates known to be alive, los have
married, lee are living at home, five
are doctors. two missionaries. N a
bookbinr,er, one a market gardener,
and 374, more than half, teachers.
The late Prof. Cooke two years ago
made a will, giving Harvard college a
revers!onary interest in his estate,
which would have amounted to about
s25O, 900. Last year, on account of the
hard times, the college authorities dis
missed from the staff of instructors
two Of the professors relatives, with
others, and on this account n codieii To
the will was made. in which the be-
quest Of the college was made was
taken away.
Mrs. Mary Mcdowell is at the head
of the new University settlement in
Chicago, which is in, perhaps, the worst
district in hat city, down by the stock
yards, a neighborhood that has here
tofore resisted all attempts at civilizas
ton to reclaim it. The plan of the
new settlement is slightly different
from most of the college settlements,
as it includes a colony of settlements
scattered about through the neighbor-
hood, rather than the housing of all
under one roof. BY this means il ia
hoped to exert u wider influence.
