CLERICAL SALARIES.
The Liberal Remuneration Re- !
ceived. by Note a Divines.
llituUnome Income from Dispensing the
Gospel of Jesus Christ Among
the C'ltiseus of New
York lily.
Howard Crosby received'?'', 000 a year,
and the conprepation will give a 'ar
larger sum to anyone that can lill his
place; but, alas! such men are not to
le had for money. He had a handsome
inheritance which enabled him to grati
fy his unusual benevolence, says a New
York correspondent of the Troy Times.
1'arkhurst and iixth (also Presbyte
rians) each receive the same amount, .
which seems large, but these men have
so many ways for money that they do
not get rich very fast. They have a
long summer vacation, which costs a
great deal, and then it is so easy to
spend money. They can readily point
to other Presbyterian clergymen who
are
ctill more favored 1I Point ol
salarv. Paxton is paid ?l".ouo.
while
John Hall has 512.000 a year and a
house worth ? 1.000 in addition. Taylor,
of the llroadway tabernacle, receives
jf 1 15,000, but pays his own rent. His
conprepation however, carries fs.O.OiH)
life insurance for his family, which is a
very handsome addition, und he may
certainly be considered "well-to-do in
the world."
Hector Kainsford of St. Georpe's re
ceives ?.000 and a house, which is such
handome pay that Father Ipnatius ex
pected a liberal fee for preaching in St.
George's pulpit. liainsford. however,
tendered him only ?"0, which he re
turned as being too small for the occa
sion, and in this manner Kainsford
came out "0 ahead. Hector Satterlee
of Calvary is not so well paid, for,
though he has a house, the salary is
only -M'..00(. We reach bipper figures
at St. ltartholomew's, where Kector
Green is paid SMK)0 and a house. His
conprepati. n includes the Vanderbilts,
whose father (William) was buried
from that church, on which occasion
admission was by ticket. Keetor
lirown of St. Thomas' also receives
S",0UO and a house, with the satisfac
tion of having the most fashionable
congregation in the city. Rector Hunt
inptou of Grace is paid ?S.000, but the
rectory is the most spacious in the city
except Uishop forripan's palace.
Grace church was at one time the cen
ter of fashion, but it is now compelled
to live en the memory of the past.
Morgan Pi-, the rector of Trinity
church, has a large staff of assistants.
His salary is td'JKH) and an allowance
for house rent equal to .1,000 a year.
The assistants who serve Trinity chapel
and St. Paul's receive ?7.."l0, which is
large pny for small work. Trinity
estate is the greatest in America and is
really wortli suo.i:i;0.ooo but its income
may not be so large as that valuation
naturally represi nts. At the lowest
estimate, however, it is f rom W.OOO.OOO
to ,:l,0i)..00!. The cashier or comp
troller" is Steplien V. U. Cruper, who
receives flO.oeO a year for signinp
check;,, the real work being done by
his clerks. He is rich by inheritance,
while his wife is noted as a clever au
thor, her pen name being Julien Gor-.
don.
The efforts of the Protestant Episco
pal church in tliis city arc now directed
to the construction of a jrrand cathedral.
Trinitv. however, can do the whole
work alone out of the advance in real
estate during the next decade. To
prove this I refer to the recent sale of a
plat (containing less than an acre) to
the govcniuient fr the appraisers"
warehouse. The locality is in what
on-e .-;:s Grcenwh-h village, once cor
d Trinity's poorest property, but
it brought - J'.io.coo, Udn-f an estimated
advance of double hi ten years, and all
of Trinity's property is advancing at
the same rate. To return to salaries.
1'ishop Potter receives f.,000 and his
house rent, which is .:".0(H) additional
The Potters are a rich family, and How
ard Potter, brother of the bishop, is up
amor.fr tlie millions, all made in the
banking house of lirown Iiros., of
tvhich he is now senior partner. Their
wealth, however, has ulwaj'S been
identified with good purposes.
lli'U'r Newton and Koliert Collyer
are among the .5,0(K) men, but the lat
ter makes a handsome addition bv
lecturing. He docs not, however, hold
the same- distinction here that he did
i.i I'hie igo, nor does Kittredpe, which
shows iiow easily New York dwarfs
Chicago men. Eaton, who succeeded
v iv.ipin in the Church of the Divine
.'uU-rnity (I'niversalist). is also a Srt.ooo
man. The rich reformed Dutch church
pays each of its pastors ;sS,000, with a
.curing pension cf more than half pay.
'I he latest pensioner is Ormiston, whose
voice and health have utterly failed,
and yet his intellect is in normal condi
tion. rendering1 his retirement very
painful. The most independent or
rather unrestricted preacher is Charles
F. Deems. Commodore Vanderbilt le
queathed him SvlO.OOO in money and the
life use of tt larpe church. IVems has
no board of trustees and all he needs is
a sexton, a choir and some one to at
tend to pew-letting and collectinp rents.
He is indeed the most autocratic
preacher of the present age; but this
privilege will die with him. for the
church will then revert to the Vander
Vdt estate. It is the only church in
the world whose existence rests on one
person's life.
On the Altar of Vanity.
A malicious maid who had to leave
the service of lrincess Frederick
Charles of Prussia apainst her will has
been telling in the most plausible way
the means which her royal highness
adopts to maintain a slim waist despite
her advancing years. According to this
authority the process is as follows:
When her royal highness has almost
finished her toilet the service of two
sturdy maids with remarkably long
hands are requisitioned. These ser
vitors press the sides and front of the
corset while the mistress of the robes
pulls the laces with all her might, and
are not allowed to relax their efforts un
til the princess, by a little gasp indicates
that the pressure has become almost
unbearable.
Wood Oranges.
"Blood oranges" have been investi
gated by order of the health officer of
Washington. The story that they are
"fixed" with a syringe and a little ani
line dye has Wen going the rounds of
the newspapers. It was seen by Dr.
Townsend, and as the supply of "blood
oranges" in the Washington market
seemed to be abundant lie directed an
inquiry with a view of condemning the
fruit if it had been tampered with. The
chemist to whom the mattwr was re
ferred says in his report: "The oranges
are naturally stained, no artificial color
ing of any kind having been used. The
small spot on the side is a fungus spot
and not a puncture. It is impossible to
stain an orange by injecting any arti
ficial staining llutd into the fruit either
before or after plucking from the tree."
An Oltl Acquaintance.
A dissipated old man applied at the
quartermaster's office in San Antonio,
Tex., for a position as clerk.
"Do you know "anything about gen
eral management of the office?'' asked
the oflieer.
"Do I know anything about (icn.
Management? I should smile. I knew
him when he was a lieutenant." Texas

It isn't done
by others that's why the guarantee
of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
should command attention. It's a
pnarantce that means eomething.
If the medicine doesn't give satis
faction, in every case for which it's
recommended, the money is prompt
ly refunded. Remarkable terms
but it's a remarkable medicine. All
the functional irregularities and
weaknesses peculiar to womankind
are cured by it. For lencorrhea,
periodical pains, weak back, prolap
sus and other displacements, bearing
down sensations, and all "female
complaints," it's an unfailing rem
edy. It is a powerful, restora
tive tonic and nervine, imparting
strength and vigor to the whole
system.
Try it, if you're an ailing woman.
If it doesn t help you, you have
your money back.
As a regulator and promoter of
functional action, at that critical
period of change from girlhood to
womanhood, M Favorite Prescrip
tion" is a perfectly safe remedial
agent, and can produce only good
results.

A GENERAL'S TOILET.
Tn Great I'aJn Taken with 1IU rersonal
A ppearsnre.
It ws just after one of thoso famous
battles in liuljraria that several war
corro "p2least?i, iua writer among' oth
ers, sott'Ht an interview with lien. Sko
beleff. says the New York World. Ap
proaching the general's quarters, we
were aceo.tetl by a guard.
Who are you?"
"MacOahan, correspondent-' That
was all; and we passed into the in
elosure. It was a picturesque scene, lighted np
by the glow of " camp-fires, around
which about a couple of hundred Cir
cassian Cossacks resteil in picturesque
confusion. We made our way up to a
round canvas tent.' An orderly asked
us our business. "Tell the general I
am MaeOahan," and a hearty response
came out of the tent in good English:
"Come in. Is that you, Mac? Ah! and
Jackson." We entered. It was a
strange sight that met our eyes. Clad
only in a striped-silk shirt and trousers,
Nkobeieff kiit at a little camp table, on
which stood a small mirror, lefore
which was an array of combs and
brushes and toilet requisites. And
what do you think the most famous of
Ku.vsian generals was doing"? Carefully
polishing his finger nails with an ivory
handled nail brush, his valet-orderly
standing at attention beside him and
brushing his uniform. The battle had
only ceased an hour In-fore, yet Skobe
leff had already taken a bath, had
washed off the stains of battle, and,'
with hair carefully combed and beard
brushed to a" fashionable nicety, as if
he were preparing to attend a ball or
n banquet, he was deeply interested in
completing the minor details of his
toilet. It seemed impossible to imagine
that the handsome fellow ln-fore us
spruce and clean as if he hail never
smelled powder for a month, was
u famous general whose dashing
heroism was the admiration of the
world. l?ut as soon as he Wgan to
speak there was no mistaking who it
was.
WONDERS IN MINIATURE.
Mix I'll Ira of Soisrs That Could It II1J
tlen I n.l-r thr Wing of av Fly.
At a shop in London in 1745, says the
St. Louis Ke public, was exhibited a
common llarcehwa nut-shell holding a
toa table, tea boanl, a dozen cups and
saucers, with sugar dish, lxittle, fun
nel, fifteen drinking glasses, live punch
bowls, ten rummels, a pestle and mor
tar anil two sets of ninepins all of pol
ished ivory, exquisitely fashioned and,
according to the account of the time,
"all to In" plainly seen without the aid
of optic glasses." This wonder was the
work of a poor artist who hail hit upon
this plan to make a living. His little
exhibition was soon outdone by ltover
ick. the watchmaker. For one shilling
this last-named genius would show vis
itors the half of a common cherry stone,
from which he would take a quadrille
table, twelve chairs with skeleton
backs, a looking-glass neatly frameL
two dozen plates, six saucers, twelve
ipoons. a dozen knives and forks, two
alt cups, and a' lady and gentleman
whom he seat-l at the table. This
same Iloverictc also made an ivory
?amcl that could lie passed through the
eye of a common needle: six pairs of
steel scissors that could all lie hidden
under the wing of a common house fly,
and a gold chain of two hundred links,
to which a miniature padlock and key
were attached, all of which were of
such minute dimensions as to lie easily
pulled acrtss a pane of glass by a Ilea.
Later on. ho produced a small ivory
coach to which he harnessed a flea,
coach anil steed weighing exactly as
much as a barley grain: and a crane
nccked carriage, with wheels turning
properly on their axles, carrying four
passengers, two footmen, a coachman
sitting on the Iwix.oa dog lietween his
legs, driving six ivory horses one of the
leaders lt-aring a position, the whole
atrair so light that this same pet flea
could set it in motion, but was not
equal to the task of dragging it across
the showcase.
A TEARFUL
REQUEST.
The Touching- Krrar Knarlrd
Ilftwrtn
IllMom Friends.
I have a friend who is one of the most
talented young men in the west, says a
writer in the Chicago I'ost. The other
day he came into my office and made a
cold-blooded bluff about taking me out
to lunch, at the same time flashing a
one hundred dollar bill liefore my as
tonished eyes. I took him up, right
then and there, of course. We went to
the Kichelieu and ordered in the neigh
borhood of sixteen dollars' worth of
food and drink, and pitched into it as if
we hadn't had anything before for
twenty years. It was a safe let that
this remarkable exhibition of generos
ity meant that I was to called upon
to give up something, and, sure enough
I was.
"By the way, he remarked, as he
was lighting nis cigar, "iy me way.
old man, I want you to do something
forme." .,. - s?rr' - v
"All right," I replietl promptly. A
f riend who blows vou off to a sixteen
dollar dinner is entitled to a soft an
swer: "What is it?" --rJ""
"I hate to ask you, he went on, puff
ing slowly at the cigar. "I m devilish
diffident about asking favors of my
friends, but you can do this, and 1 don't
think that it wdl give you very much
trouble. You know-1 have never struck
you for any kindnesses, long as we have
known each other.
'That's so," I answered. "Go ahead.
I'll do anything I can for you.
"Well, you see," he went on, "it's like
this. I am no," he broke off sudden
ly, "I can't lear to ask it of you."
There were real tears in his eyes.
"Don't let yourself be disturlied, old
fellow." I cried, verv much affected.
"Kemember I'm your friend.
"No, I can't do it," he saiil, when he
had recovered his composure. "I can't
bring myself to ask you right to your
face."
By this time I was very curious to
know what the trouble was. and so I
proved a soft mark. He counted on that.
"No," he continued, "I can't tell you
to your face. Perhaps I might be able
to write it down and go out of the room
while you read it. Will you promise
not to look at it until I have got clear
"ontside?"
Of course I promised. What else
could I do? So he wrote down four or
five words on the back of a wine card,
folded it up and handed it to me. Then
he shook my hand effusively, said I
would never know how grateful he was
to me for my kindness, and went out
dissolved in tears. When he had shut
the door behind him, and not until then,
I unfolded the card. And this is what
he had written:
"Please pay for the lunch."

Many years apro some careless map
maker accidentally changed tJoblin
City, Col., to Golden City on his map.

The one-hour verdict of a Maine
court in lsfl'.t. believed to In- the shortest
sentence to imprisonment in a criminal
case in this country, was greatly under
done by an English julre who sen
tenced a woman to five minutes in jail
for having married a man without o'
taining a divorce from a former hus
band. This stands now as the shortest
sentence on record.
