CURRENT TOPICS.
—Our readers will be pained to notice
that a majority of the votes cast in New
ark, N. J., on the question of the run
ning of the street cars on Sundays was
in favor of the measure. We again raise
our voices against the right of submit
ting a great principle of State govern
ment to the votes of any single section
of the people, city or country. And as
to cities, we think it is by this time fair
ly established, that they must be legis
lated for by the whole commonwealth,
instead of being left to choose out of the
State laws, which they will consent to
obey.
—The _lndependent has chosen a curi
ous disguise, in which the more freely to
criticise the person elk of our late Assem
bly. " An old clergyman from Kansas,"
giving himself out as a New School
Presbyterian, who sew no heresy in the
Independent, is represented as sending
an anonymous communication to that
paper, in which the merits and demerits
of the leading men in our body are dis.
cussed in the free, slashing and able
style so characteristic of the editorial
pen " The hand of J oab. is " quite too
plain to be concealed by the artifice of
inviting the anonymous writer to the
office where he may hear of something to
his advantage. Credat Judaus!
—There are some signs of re-action
on the broad field of Presbyterian Re
union. The United Presbyterians have
justified suspicion of their growing ex
clusivism by withdrawing frcim negotia
tions for general union, and by keeping
up those in progress with the exscinders
of George H. Stuart. We have no
.doubt the existence of a rigid Presbyte
rian body among us, would be advau,,
tageous in draining off such elements as
might prove trotiblesome in the united
Church.
—The better part of the public will,
be much disappointed with the disposi
tion made by the National Typographical
Union, of the proposal of the Washing
ton member, Mr. •Flynn, to abolish the
test of race or color in the future policy
of the Union. The motion of Mr. Mur
ray of New Orleans to lay it on the
table, had'so much of 'the crack of the
planters' whip in it, that we hoped the
manliness, good sense and justide of the
American workingman would have; se
cured its immediate rejection, but it was
carried by a vote of 66 to 24„....A very
poor way, indeed, we assure you, gentle
men printers, to secure the sympathy of
the public in any measures you may de
vise for your own advancement as a
class.
—The . Third church of Willamsport,
Pa., was organized May 31st, and elected
as its pastor, Rev. W. A. Dunning, of
Kirkwood, N. Y. It is hoped that the
chapel designed for their use, will be
ready in three or four weeks.
—A word of earnest thanks is fairly
due from all civilized nations to the peo
ple of Spain for peaceably carrying
through, the first great stage of their up
rising against political and religious des
potism and corruption. The new Con
stitution proclaimed on the Gth, with all
its defects, is an advanCe on their pre
vious condition and efforts, that is truly
amazing. Ten months ago, the most ab
ject of peoples claiming civilization and
the Christian name, the Spaniards- may
now, in virtue of this Constitution, just
ly ask a place among the most enlight
ened and free. And their self-posses
sion and self-restraint in the critical
period of transition just passed, appears
the more marvellous, from the vivid con
trast presented by their unfortunate,
neighbor, France, in similar. but futile
efforts for freedom. " The red- fool fury
of the Seine" has frightened- Marty
peace loving people out of their native,
sympathies for republicanism. We may'
now oppose to it the calm deliberateness
of the Spanish Cortes, the manly beha
,of the Democratic party under
present defeat, and' the excellent temper
of the entire people while breaking the
most galling and ancient of the yokes of
Popish priestcraft. The best testimonial
of grateful regard which the, free peo
ples of the earth can give to the Spanish
nation, is, tO supply it with the Gospel.

Chapel of Calvary Church, in Locust
street, opposite the church will be laid

regard to the building and Services in

—The Fifty•fourth Anniversary of the
Sunday Schools under the care of the
Buttonwood Street Presbyterian church
(Dr. Shepherd's) was celebrated with
great spirit last Sunday afternoon. The
reports of the three schools showed that
about seven hundred children were en
rolled and that near one thousand dol
lars had the past year been collected.
The singing, by the children, was re
markably good, and interesting addresses
were made by the Rev. Messrs. Orr and
Brown of this city, by the Rev. Dr. Hall
of Brooklyn, and by the pastor.
—The Fourteenth Anniversary of the
Sabbath-school in the Oli%et Presbyte
rian church, was celebrated Sabbath
afternoon, May 30th. Four hundred
children, instructed by forty teachers,
were reported by the Superintendent,
Mr. J. C. Chance, as the present mate
rial of the school. - Four little girls pre
sented $BO as the offerings of the Infant
school, of which $2O were given to the
American Sunday-school Union and the
like sum to the American Tract Society,
American B. C. F. M., and American
Bible Society.
These gifts were received and ac
knowledged in short addresses re
spectively by the Pastor, Rev. W. W.
Taylor, D. D. Prescott, Esq., Treasurer
of Tract Society; Rev. D. H. Emerson,
and Rev. Mr. Torrence; and this con
stituted the speaking, with the excep
tion of some effective words from Gov.
Pollock.
The four little girls who made the
offerings of money, being joined by two
others, and turning the cards suspended
from their necks, presented the six let
ters spelling OLIVET, and this
beautiful little tableau, it is hoped, will
prove a true emblem of the school, ever
fresh and growing.
The singing was sweet and animating,
conducted by Messrs. Fleming and Wil
son.
—The Sunday-schools of N. Broad
street church celebrated their Tenth
Anniversary last Thursday evening. The
floral display was 'really gorgeous. The
pulpit recess was ornamented , with a
triple arch, and the back-ground filled
with a great variety of rare and beauti
ful living plants. The speaking and
singing by the children ; the latter led
by Mr. Bishop, were very enter a dng
and delightful, and creditable to teachers
and pupils. Very handsome.' presents
were made by the members of his class
to Mr. Eddy and.by the teachers to Mr.
Spdhgler, and while :we cannot approve
of this feature of Sunday-school Exhibi
tions, we are sure no two gentlemen bet
ter deserved these tokens of regard.
Each class as called upon, biought up a
bouquet of flowers which were fastened
upon a frame, so as to make a floral cross
of great beauty and dimensions. ~..The
schools number about.4oo members with
a library of 1,000 volumes. i Sete
scholars have joined; the-Church durieg'
the year.' Brief •addresSes were made by
the pastor and Rev. A. Willits, but all
seemed to agree to let the children have
the best part to themselves.
—The church at. Eighteenth 'and
Arch streets (we rejoice, to" know) is
practically, at least, free of debt. Dr.
Willitts had offered his resignation as
was announced, in consequence of the'
financial difficulties of the congregation,
when his friends made a united' effort to;
wipe out the 835'000 of incumbrin'ee,
the remainder'of that' which had weighed
so long on their energies The effort
has, been entirely successful,
.and Dr.
Willitts remains the beloved pastor of a
happy people.
—Our F.piseopalian brethren are, try
ing the experiment.Of organizing a
sionary Society in their Sabbath Schools,
'each scholar being eligible • to' membemember=
ship'on contributing, a fixed amount to
the funds. Sider as results and 'num;
bers go the result has been very'gratify:
ing. The school of the church -of the
Epiphany have nearly 500 such mem
bers. But it is to be "feared that the
plan will make a dangerous and invidi
ous distinction between 'one , set of the
scholars and the rest, especially in
poorer churches. Nor will the great
'Children's Union Missionary' meetings
held in some of the leading churches,
keep' these feelings in check.
--41oly 'Trinity church (Phillips
Brooks') has '1790 scholars and 115
teachers; inthe Sabbath schools of its
church and TrinitY Mission Chapel; an .
increase Of, 12 teachers and 113 schOlars'
It supports a sewing school, mothers'
meeting and nigh t-school,:which have'
been, very useful. Trinity'chapel under
the charge of Re*. Ridhard Newton
Thomas is uniisiially . prosperous. The
building has been improved, the librarY
increased and a monthly meeting "for
young men :established in 'connection
'with the library and reading-room; at
'iitrhich interesting lectures are delivered.
The church' contribut. 462071, to the
support of ihe Mission:
—The ,Epispopalian clergy of our city
have adopted a plan for city , mission work
under the stipervision of a clerical super
intendent of executive ability, assisted
by a responsible Board of Managers, and
d:ireCting the work of as many helpers
lay and clerical, male' and ferriale--;-;as
may be deemed necessary. The com
mittee who decided on this method of
procedure, in their report published in
The Episcopalian, concede that the
" Considerable districts which cannot
be reached by ordinary parochial agen
cies, and where parochial organizations
could not well be sustained, are probably
fewer with us than in almost any other
large city, certainly than they are in New
York. There, in general, the rich and
respectable congregate in their own por
tions of the city ; while the poor are
found in others, often quite remote.
This necessarily obliges the former, if
they care for the spiritual wants of the
latter to send among them those who
shall minister the Word. Here the case
is very different. Growing partly out of
the original plan of the city, there is
scarcely any parish church, however
wealthy its congregation may be, that
has not in its immediate vicinity a dis
trict of the poor, who are accessible,
therefore, to whatever agencies the par.
ish may put in operation.
" Still, even under these favorable
circumstances, there are districts which
can only be retched by strictly mission
ary efforts. The extreme outlying por
tions, where the city fringes into the
rural parts, present such ; the Eastern
front, from which the more substantial
part of the population has receded ; in
terior sections, ' which the poor and
degraded are massed, together. The re
gion of which South street is the cen
tral belt ; that' which stretches out
towards Fairmount, below and above
Callowhill street;
and probably parts of
the old district of Kensington. In all
such there is a wide field fbr the opera
tion of a general missionary organiza
tion."
The plan propOses to "use to advan
tage every existing charitable and
benevolent agency, making them subsidi
ary to its own purposes ; as, for instance,
the Episcopal Hospiral, the various
homes for the friendless and asylums for
the. destitute, the Young Men's Chris
tian Association, temperance societies
and the many others with which our
city abounds. The working of such an
organization would be, from house to
house, visiting the sick, etc., and , ever
declaring the glad tidings of salvation.
If access be had to our public institu
tions, benevolent, etc., it would carry
there the healing influences of the Gos
pel. It would, on. the Lord's day, haVe
public preaching in halls, in school
houses, in mission church 6 and, in the
summer season, the, parks and open
sphces of the city,if thht were deemed
advisable. On "week days, it would as
sist in such social meetings as might al
ready exist or eitabrisli - and hold "amid
for itself."
—A writer in The _Methodist Home
Jourriol urges 'that the churches of each
neighlMi.hood make an arrangement by
Which' one at! Icast,shall be open each
Sabbath afternoon. He would not like
to revive the old, plan, by which, thirty
year's ago, each preacher was required to
preach thrice a day ; but he dislikes the
present `system, by *Nob one " cannot
hear a Baptist or a Methodist preacher,
and but'two or , three, ~Presbyterian
preachers • from one end of, , Philadelphia
to the other," on Sabbatb afternoons.
—The Methodist Preachers' Meeting
was, among. the bodies which formally
protested, against the doCoration of our
Soldier's graves on the Sabbath. There
was an earnest discussion,'butthe action
was finally, taken 'with great , unanimity.
' —The Methodist churches of this pity
began to 'vote on Lay Delegates On Mcn
day,. Nine 'churches vote this week.;
eleven the next;' fourteen the week after,
and one at a still later day of. June,
While ten or twelve niore have not fixed
a' day."A 'mass mecting was held on
Tuesday' 'evening; in ;:the Green Street
church, to 'advocate the measure,
Simpson being the leading speaker: And
most of the churches (The _Home Jour
nal approvingly announces) are to .keep,
the polls 'open from 2 toy 9 or 10 P.M.
"The ladies and older members can
drop in - during the afternoon and vote
for lay clelegation,and the working class,
who will be engaged ip their business,
will have a chance in the evening. , We
-hope there will be a full vote, It is not
creditablo to our intelii?ence,,or,i,pterest,
in the Church, to neglect or refuse at
this juncture to indicate a sentiment in
regard to a question of such magnitude,
as that now to be decided'.
—The Ladies and Pastors Christian-
Union of the. M. E. Church, of which
Mrs. Annie Wittenmeyer is the working
Secretary—is doing an extensive work.
Its object is to bring the women of the
church into active and hearty co-opera
tion with the pastors. 4,410 families
were visited by the Union, 1,629 uncon
verted persons were appeald to, 193 sick
called on and talked with, 94 scholars
introduced into °Sunday-school, 37 chil
dren clothed, 41- special , meetings heldi
and 11,451 pages 'of tracts , distributed.
The visitors found :in various wards •
quite a number of 'lnenibers of the'

and'to hand in their letters. •
—Our' Baptist brethren are moving

mehtings have. been .held' tin the sitbleet,.
and,a - committee appointed to report •on

—*Dr. Boardman , of the First BaitiSf
ohnroh, lies been giving a Series of lee
tures on the Harmony of the Gospels, on
Wednesday evening, which have ex
cited such interest that the lecture-room
has been unable to contain his audience,
and the lectures are now delivered in
church. The people, Bible in hand,
evince their old interest in the thorough
and systematic exposition of the Word.
—The clergy of our Roxborough
suburb—mor .1 than a dozen in number—
have united in a protest against Sunday
funerals. At the beginning of the pres
ent year they agreed that they would
not officiate on such occasions unless the
physician and undertaker certified that
it was a case of necessity. As a conse
quence they have had no Sunday fune
rals this year.
—The venerable St. John's church is
showing signs of recovered strength and
prosperity. The Sabbath Schools num
ber 28 teachers and 255 children, and
celebrated their fifty fourth anniversary
recently. One of the speakers had been
in the school fifty years ago.
—The Orthodox Yearly Meeting at its
last session, took steps to consummate
the division which began in April, 1827.
It seems that quite a number who really
united with the Hicksite Society, were
never formally disowned, and are still
entitled by birthright to membership in
the Orthodox society. The Y. M. di
rected all such to be notified that they
must appear and claim their privileges,
or be formally disowned.
,The Friends'
Review laments the departure of the
days when the frieailly garb was, a
passport to confidence and love that
could be trusted on both
,sides, and
that the steps of disownment in
1827, were iu many cases so reckless
and wholesale that many who had not
been tainted with the Socinian views of
Elias- Hicks, were driven into
to where they were exposed to such
influences.

Nature is the Great Physician.
This is now admitted, by the medical profession as a
fundamental principle of healing science. It is wisely
provided by the human economy that whenever any
thing,is wrong in the physical system the natural
forces of the body are:brought to bear to expel the
disease. The great aim, therefore, is ta strengthen the
natural powers. This has 'been kept in view by the
skilful compounders . •HOSTETTBR'S STOMACH
BITTERS, which operates.to give fresh vitality to all
the organs of the, body. ,, The. effect of this medicine
upon the stomach, the liver and the kidneys, is prompt
and decisive. The patient, who is wise enough to quit
dragging and try the BITTERS, soon feels as if he h..d
taken a new lease of lite; and as he' continues the use
of the article, he is overjoyed to find the streams of
health courethg through his frame. It is p , ewe&
with great care, and its component parts are entirely
vegetable. It is free from the objections so often urged
against preparations of the kind. As a lIEDECIA.L
AGENT it lois no equal, while its pleasing flavor and
'healthful effects have made it a general &Teats. r,lt is
free from all properties calculated, to impair the sys,
tem, and its operations are at once mild, soothing and
tflicient.- All, who have need HOSTETTER'S ISTO3I

Even those who are in the enjoyment of perfect
health frequently have need to have recourse to tonics
as preventatived of disease.' We are never too well
armed against the assaults of the ills that flesh is heir
to.". In health or sickrie4s this tonic cannot be taken
regularly without giving vitality and elasticity to the
sYstem.

dangerous practice ? Stop! let us Reason, and w e how
it looks? Perhaps you are costive! Wiil Pills pro
duce moisture or cure the complaint? Pills will rob
the Stomach of Moisture, and never add a drop. Nor
they are dry and hove none to give. No one swallows
thou, but is weaker and more costive afterward from
the loss of the vitalizing fluids and gastric juices!
Reader, have you a garden, a spot of earth, or a single
blade of gram? if the soul becomes dry, will you sow
it with gravel-stones or sand? Nay, verily I But you
sprinkle it with water! The human Stomach and its
health are better than hi many Gardens?" Will not
common sense lead you to a watery aid cooling diet ?
Don't your Stomach ask for more l egetables ? Where
are the Apples, thangee, and any or all kinds of Fruit
she longs for? Where the Spinnach, Beets, Turnips,
and the Hundred Varieties ? She will an.ept of some of
them! Where the. Brown or Cora Bread, Oatmeal Pud

to your palate and will prove to be exactly what you
need! 'Tea a thousand times more sensibie to drink a
pint or quart of oat or Cornmeal porridge once or twice
each day, for a week or tw.i, or use warm wa.er Injec
tions, than ever be Guilty—yes, I mean Guilty, for no
p race swallows Drugs but comm its a sin against them
saves, and punishment will certainly follow, sooner or
later.
What makes that once .strong man now weak at d
faltering? What drives the roses from the cheeks of
that woman?' What takes the tire and brightness from
the eyes of that child? It is Drugs is nine cases out of
every ten. hundreds of People every day that tlit ong
DR. WOLCOTT'S place at ISt Chatham Square suffer from
Drug treatment. Thousands when they return home,
matte.a bonfire and burn them up. Most of the middle
aged who read this paper tteday, will live to hear Drugs
as universally cmidemnedas bleeding has already be•
come. And they will wonde how it was ever possible
that intelligent beings could live and have their seusee,
and yet submit to such a transparent farce in filling
their own bodies with Drug poison year atter year,
whiletheir whole nature rose up and condemned, in
the latent elonent language, this most absurd and
health-ruining practice. For every peram, without a
single exception, who has. swallowed most of these
Abominations, will ratify. by their experience the truth
of every word. Da WOLCOTT must be right or wrong.
Da. WOLCOTT is publishing truth or falsehood to the
World. If his Anti Medical doctrines are false, wit} is
it that he gains the patronage of the most shrewd sett
critical men, mcbading many of our leading Physicians,
and retains their custom year after year? how is it
possible for him to offer free tests of his Remedies in
open daylight, before the world, Inthatti it acuuLaplisheet
results? how is it that he has a larger practice and
patronage than any Hospital 4n the world? Row is is
that he - has more Certiocates of Cures with genuine
names attached tram every city, village, and alino,t
every neighborhood, than would fill the largeet printed
volume, add many of these cases pronounced Hopeless
before they used hie Remedies? Wits tells the truth
—this is the question—Da. WOLCuTT ur the Old Scaocil ?
We leave to the read6re of this paper to decide tar
themselves whether to continue in the old heathenish
custom of dosing, or adopt ideas founded ou natural
law, which cannot be otherwise .hen safe and in the
highest degree conducive to sound health.
