CHURCH STATISTICS.
Twenty Million of Church Members

The census report OF the United States
covering the statistics Of churche S,

contains some interesting facts. 1t is
an elaborate work OF more than so
pages, with colOred maps showing til g
extent OF the various organized religi-
GUS bodies in the various States.
There are l43 distinct denominations
In the United States, besides indepe n
dent churches and miscellaneous con-

Of all denominations is 20,6l2, ,806. who
belong to l65,l77 organizations or &C n
gregations.
These congregations have I42521
edifices, which have sitting for A., ,564,-
1863 persons.
The value of all church property,
used exclusively for purposes of wOr-
ship, is $679, ,630, l39. There are H.
036 regular minister's, not including
| lay preachers.
There are five bodies which have
more than 100000 communicates and
nineteen more than 100000. The

how hard they worked for him and
how much they need his assistance
will be along bright and early the next
morning, and they will keep it up.
He finds the pleasures largely out
weighed by the sacrifice OF his inde-
pendence and loss of his personal free
dom. He can no longer have quiet
when he wants it, and control his own
time. He is the servant of the public
and the office seeking portion of the
public is tireless task master. The
Knoxville Tribune congl atulating
Gov. Taylor, of Tennessee, upon his
abandonment OF politics for the lecture
platform draws the following picture
of the politicians

crown of the otiice-holder there are
about as many thOrns as roses. He
goeth to his labors with anxiety bal
ancing hope, and he lieth down upon
u bed of willows Instead of poppies,
with worry for u pillow and disgust for
a blanket. He riseth in the morning
with that tired feeling which the
pleasure OF place and the pomp and
power of position cannot dissipate.
He maketh transient friends and per-
manent enemies, and when he sighs
for the music of praise his weary ears
are harshly greeted with the discord-
ant voice Of the merciless critic and
self-appointed censor. silva follows
him with relentless pursuit, while
VishDu regards him with cold indif-
ference and informs him that he must

and vanisheth like IL shadow at the
break Of dag. He goeth to his grave
in sorrow and disappointment and the
alabaster boxes Of praise and kind
words that were denied him while liv-
ing are opened upon his coffin, too late
to heal or soothe. They fall only on
the dull cold ear of death"

| The successor of Mr.. Harrington
| will be Prof. William l.. Moore, OF
Chicago, who has been recommended
| by Secretary Morton as the new chief
| oil the bureau, and who is regarded as
one OF the best forecasters in the SER
vice with a reputation for accuracy
| second to none In the department.
He first came to the notice Of Secre-
tary Morton about u year ago, when
the Secretary began thorough in
vestigation of the work being done by
the weather bureau, with the end in
view OF materially improving the SER
vice and causing it to issue practical
Information for the farmer, merchan
and sailor and every other line of bus
mess in which the condition OF the
weather and the approach of storms
had anything to do. Circulars were
Issued to the better class of forecasters
asking for essays on the practical fore
casting OF the weather bureau. About
thirty of the men replied. These es-
says. numbered, but with their au-
thors' names unknown, were turned
over to board consisting of
Chief Harrington, Prof. Mendenhall
and Major Dunwoody. This board se-
lected The best of these ESSAYS, less
than ten, and the authors were order
ed to Washington to make reports.
This was done for a month and Moore
receiving the highest percentage,
almost 100. was given the position OF
professor of meteorOlogy at a salary of
$1,000. He was, prior to this, local
forecaster at Milwaukee, but after his
promotion was transferred to Chicago.
During last winter he made q won
derful record considering the charac-
ter Of the weather. There were nu-
merous cold waves that season, some |
OF them of unusual severity, and it was |
his marvellous accuracy in predicting |
their coming that again attracted the |
attention OF Secretary Morton. One |
thing that pleased the Secretary was |
Moore's fashion of making statements
about which there could be no doubt.
He avoided all ambiguous predictions
and risked a positive statement or
frankly said in his report that it was
impossible to judge the forthcoming
following this with the
best Judgment he could command. He
rarely missed the mark and his re-
ports were the best made in that very
trying kind of weather.
In politics Mr.. Moore is said to be q
Republican. He is a man of about
forty years of age and has grown up in
the service.

Elbow much is man like his shoes!
For instance, both sole may lose;
Both have been tanned both are made
tight
BY cobblers; both get left and right
Both need a mate to be complete,
And both are made to go on feet
They both need heeling, oft are sold,
And both In time will turn to mold
With shoes the last is first; with men
The first shall be last when
The shoes wear out they're mended new,
When men wear out they're men dead,

They both are trod upon, and both

Both have their ties, and both incline,
When polished, in the world to shine;
And both peg out. Now would you choose

1t may not be known generally
that the Dowagcr Empress OF China
has had very romantic history She
was child OF poor parents in the
suburbs of Canton, and remarkable for
her beauty. At IL time when her
parents did not know whence their
daily bread was to come she uggcsted
that they sell her as IL slave. This
course was followed and she became
the property of famous general. He
was so enchanted with her beauty that
he adopted her. When the general
next went to Pcking, SO says CORES
pondent the general oifcrcred his
beautiful daughter to the Emperor,
and thereby won great favor. The
young girl so charmed his Majesty by
her looks and intelligence that he
soon made her his wife. When the
Emperor died the former slave became
regent of the empire and administer,
ed the national affairs better than
almost any OF her predecessors. She
is justly considered one of the greatest
women of her time.
