Sorrowful Pen Picture of a Seasick Girl of the Period. THE SID SIDE OF AN OCEAN TOIAGE. rcossEsroKszircz or thz dispatch. 3 A3 Sea, July, 1890. There is only one place where the great Atlantic liners come to a complete stop, unless from accident, be tween their New York docks and Queens town. This is for a most interesting little incident and ceremonial, of which first trippers hare no knowledge, and which even old voyagers seldom quite understand. It is called "dropping the pilot." If yon are still upon the promenade deck And have got the mists of parting out of Your eyes, you hare perhaps wondered what that bronte-faced man in citizen's clothing was doing up there among the bespangled officers upon the bridge. He seems the quietest fellow on board. His eyes are singling out the row of channel buoys, or, with a glass, rapidly scanning the lower Jersey shores and the gleaming lines of the Xiong Island sands, or again glancing at this .point or that along the sea horizon. His is an anxious face. The lines in it uncon sciously picture the human look tbat tells of something lost, or of great danger that may be. I have seen men like him stand where he istwth that same look, and the perspiration dripping from their laces in streams in the coldest of weather. This man is not tbe ship's captain; but while he stands there, now and then giving a low-toned or der, he is absolutely the commander of -the ship. He is a New York pilot, detailed lrom the lower "Wall street pilot office to take your ship to spa. In ordinary cases his fee woald be based upon the ship's ton nage. With the larger ocean steamships "lumped" price is made. He must remain aboard until Sandy Hook is passed, and as much further out as the steamer captain de sires. When he leaves the snip tne big en gines resume, a farewell cheer rings out over the port side, and your voyage has now really begun. A FOOLISH "WASTE. There can nowhere be noticed a more dol orous change than that which in 24 hours' time a'ter sailing-day has come over the manner, appearance and environment o from 1,000 to 2,000 souls on your creat ocean steamer. Tne aniet people in dark gray serges and tweeds hold their own hand somely. These were the least hilarious and obstreperous at sailing. But they comprise "but a trifling percentaee. Nearly all the rest have come aboard as thev would attend a reception or the opera, with a view to making something of an impression. That quite forgivable human weakness of ever being on the alert to be thongbt well of, has had every form o expression. This one has held a veritable levee on the wharf. Another has arranged to receive all manner of needless correspondence and telegrams. Another has actually sent to a choice circle P. P. C. cards, with name of steamer, sail ing date and hour, with a delicate intima tion that the presence of dear friends at sail ing would be a charming token o- regard. This brings a score of carriages, a crowd of folk, a dozen or so regrets by messengers, and what is still more acceptable, because of its impressiveness, a perfect ovation in lruits, bonbons and flowers. It is a feast to this class of departing ones to overhear covert inquiries like, "Who are those peo ple?" "V bat party is that?" "High roll er!, that crowd, eh?" And the silks, dia monds and laces of these people are over whelming. They know it, and a pleasant little thrill of conauest comes of it all. But the height of delight or despair to these nouveanx riches is found in the matter o parting floral offerings. The chief steward of the great liner upon which I am now writing estimates the value of flowers sent to the cabin within 24 hours previous to sailing as often reaching fully $2,500. One stand never cost less than $350. How its possessor, a wicked old crone o 70, hid un derneath paint, wigs and bangs, and be spangled with diamonds, glared with scorn at the $50 or f 100 offerings piled upon the cabin tables! But some of our New York worthies are very clever about this steam- snip flower snow. SOCIETT TEICKEBT. "Do you see that magnificent figure?" asked the steward, pointing to a piece four feet in height artistically formed into sem blance nf the coat-of-arms of quite a cele brated English house. "The lady of the family to whom this was sent, claims to be of noble birth, although her husband sells rum for a living. She crosses often with us: and she usually has the handsomest offering sent aboard. I know her florist very well. She makes the order herself. Just before goin' ashore' going is sounded, if you keep a sharp lookost, you will see that her offer ing is snddenly "whisked ashore. "Scores of'emdothat." "Where is the point in the maneuver?" "Oh, a 'crasher on the rest of the passen gers, at half price. The flowers go back to the florists, are taken to pieces, and are all sold in cheap bouquets at the ferry houses before night." I did keep a sharp lookout and did see a number of the finest pieces "whisked ashore." It was a pretty little bit of society -.canning I had failed to know about belore. Quite theatric, too. But these steamship flower shows are something really tremen dous. At the first meal or two, their pos sessors are literally banked in flowers, to the great inconvenience and mortification of others. Near my own seat were a mother and daughter in a desperate way. Probably not more than $200 or 5300 worth of flowers hedged them in like a fairy chevaux-de-frise. They were contemplating another castellated battlement of the same sort, fur ther down the table, a trifle more gorgeous than their own. "I don't blame you, Helen," said the mother with haughty dis dain. "It showed a very mean spirit in him." "Mean spirit!" retorted the daughter, writhing with anger. "George's a hogl That's what he is. I shall just order the steward to pitch them overboard at once. He said I should have the finest on the steamei the brute! This settles him. He'll get his ennge at Liverpool. No I'll cable it from Queenstownl" George was evidently betrothed to this being. He had only sent her 5300, instead of $500, worth of flowers; and had probably gone back to the office, at parting, to cover up the shortage in his accounts. APPETITES SUDDEKLT LOST. Two or three meals at farthest sponge the banquet airs from the cabin tables. Fiity plates will suffice for the second day at table for breakfast; perhaps no more than twice that number for luncheon and dinner. White-gloved table stewards, solemn as mutes at a funeral, stand idly by for the two hours of the double sittings, steadfastly re garding the artistic lights of the gay cabin dome; or receiving with stately and com passionate reserve the humble apologies of those having sudden engagements in their stlate rooms or upon deck. The flowers have Wholly disappeared from the main tables, nd, for courtesy's sake, tarry a little like a shuddering array of hectic ghosts upon the spare tables in the alcoves, as if each with ered and trembling bud knew its fate of be ing tossed into the sea on the morrow. The ship's commander, bland as a bar tender in pott, has hidden Himself from view. The purser's window is shut as if v$rnetically sealed. The ship's doctor has ed behind the strictest interpretation of s and rnles. The chief and assistant rds, to whom your great fee has al gone for a choice seat at the table, re o recognize you. Your room-steward on with a look of sharp suspicion and nalysis. Will you give him much , and will you lee generously? eom is uttermost interest. But he will. permit no early familiarity. The boat swains, whose frizzled, fatherly faces on the first day gave promise of sea-yarns and ocean-lore revelations, are as stolid as bronzes or brass. The serjeant-at-arms and deck-stewards walk around you, look you up and down, over and around, fore and att, starboard and port, as if to remind you that deck rules are deck law, sir. The bell boys, those little dried up old commodores of the passages, library and lavatories, re gard you from beneath beetling brows as with sarage advance protests against pos sible requests for favors. THE SEA A LETELEB. Wander where you may on your steamer's decks or within her splendid cabins, you find but savagery, selfish preoccupation and mute despair. The officers and crew are one and all moodily recovering from port excesses. The few passengers upon their legs are each nursing parting melan choly, figuring upon trip expenses, or con templating the difference between the songs and the scourges of the sea. The predom inating hosts are in the throes of unmiti gated, unvanqnishable sea-sickness. And how it levels the proud and greatl Look at at them sprawling in their chairs, hundreds of them, under the lee awnings, hope, pride, scorn, hauteur, all, flown like the flush of the shriveled flowers below. That pompous old fellow who can draw his check for a cool million, and who, on shore, reckons himself a boy of 40, you know, is stretched there like a drunkard, holding his two sets of false teeth in his nerveless hand with the most familiar abandon. He recks not those who see; he sees not those who reek. Here is a grand dame, as easy a subject of study. Her wig is displaced; the powder and color have been sponged from one side of her face by some attentive stewardess; her laces, flounces and silks are disheveled; she is snoring, diversified by snorts and. pAateal staccatos. ALL BEOKEN UP. Berugged and bejeweled, she seems a sad travesty on even some giddy "Miss Havi sham," escaped from a moldy bridal chamber and fallen into a "Seven Dial's debauch. Look at this belle's beauty now. George, back there in New York, would be a lucky dbg to catch a glimpse of her divine face this moment. He would wait for no conge from Liverpool. Paint, powder and bilgewater are blended into a dirty French gray upon her leathery countenance. The fog has deposited a clammv rime upon this. Strands of her now waveless hair are fluttering stickily within her open mouth. Her eres seem to have gone back into her head an inch and are closed beneath dirty yellow lids. Amid this wreck of beauty there is one bit of color. It is in her pinky, pointed nose. It wonld have paralyzed Helen to have worn a 25-cent bathing hat at sea. So from under the edge of her $25 hat her sea-blistered nose rises rare and red like some hectio beacon light looming above drear, dank, dolorous isles. In a few days more the lone-abused cuticle will peel from this little nose in tenacions swirls and curls, and as Helen steps upon the stiging at Liverpool the rude customs inspectors will pronounce her an "H'Aniericau hobjeck." One might fill a book with these sea travel studies. A good deal besides sea sickness and its rank-leveling power m,ight oe dwelt upon, nut tne old traveler, and the first-tripper who is cautions and con servative, will never be tempted into re marks abont his prowess in bouts with the fell destroyer. At the first and second meals, while the taste of your New York friends' champagne is still sweet on your palate, you are likely to roar a little along this line. But you will regret it. Listen to those retching wretches in their state rooms below. Each one had' flung a chal lenge to old Neptune's powers. The little dude has lisped under his napkin. "Lying wight dwown on one's back'll do nausea, I'll allow." The Chicago packer, loading his plate with another swath of his own boneless ham has snorted, "Pshaw, Lake Michigan c'n knock the spots off this pond any time, for roughness. Nobody ever sick out our way." The la dies chorns, "Dear me, it isn't possible any one could be ill on this boat, is it now?" I think it's just too lovely for anythingl" The lawyer is oratorlc about it, summing up be'ore an invincible jury with invincible "Now, sirs," and hoary citations and prece dents that settle the 'whole matter. The clergyman, bless him for his faith, fancies "its all merely a matter of the imagination." While the man with the granite head, brass jaw and iron stomach, closes the discussion and cis meals at table, with the rest of us, ior a few days by an explosive, "All non sense, sir!" Have a stomach of iron like me, sir!" NEPTUNE HAS NO PETS. But they are all done for now. The dude is developing his "lying wight dwown" theory; the ladies are gaspingly changing their adjectives; the packer is comparing the pecnliarities of lake and pond; the cler gyman has a new study of the pleasures of the imagination and the man with the iron stomach is slipping its cogs as helplessly as with the ordinary mortal diaphragm. And so go the first days until "the banks" are crossed. It you have luckily had your lit tle battle at first, you now suffer loneliness, and hunger for society. There is not a sin gle responsive gleam of companionship in any face aboard ship. You become desper ate. You see a being in blue and gold away out forward tbere. You sidle, slip and slide along up to it. The being proves to be a ship's officer first, second, tbird or somewhere along the line. But it is alive, has hearty jowls, a big paunch, and hoping these bespeak geniality, you timidly address it "Beg parden, officer, but are these fogs always to be found here on the banks?" The being is a blue, gold and bronze statue for a long, long time. Finally as you despair and are about to turn away, its red head suddenly turns quarter round, and you involuntarily listen for its click. Then its cavernous, coral mouth expands frightlully while the being roars, " 'Ow the bloody 'ell do H'l know? H'l doant bide 'eerel" You somehow feel like adjourning your aboard-ship stndies until the return of sunny weather. Edgae L. Wakeman. ATLANTIC CITY.

HIS CAEEEE WHILE IN PITTSBURG. Sketch of the 0H St. Clair United Presby terian Congregation. GLEANINGS FE01I CflOECQ PIELDS Among the recent books which will at tract general interest in the religious world is "The Life of Bishop Simpson," from the hands of Dr. George B. Crooks, of the Drew Theological Seminary. Dr. Crooks, who is now among the foremost men of the Metho dist Episcopal Church, and who was cotem porary with Bishop Simpson during a large part of the latter's eventful career, has per formed a labor of love in behalf of his de parted friend which will stand as a per manent monument of our religions litera ture. There are few Pittsburgers who do not cherish the memory of Matthew Simp son. In this city he won his first laurels as a pulpit orator. It is now nearly three score years since he took charge of the church on the corner of Smithfield street and Seventh avenue, popularly known as Brimstone corner. There are a few still living who were present when Bishop Simpson, then a mere youth, entered upon his ministerial career. Joseph Woodwell was among those who welcomed him here in the early thirties, and who treasures the memories of Simpson as among the most precious of the long gone years. Here young Simpson found the partner, who for a half century, divided his sorrows anddoubled his joys. Miss Verner, a daughter of'one of Pittsburg's pioneers, and sister of James Verner, who still occupies a prominent place among our citizens, was wedded to young Simpson about 1835. From tbat time until bis death in 1884, Bishop Simpson was not only a power in the Methodist Church, but in the land. On the questions which led up to the great Civil War, he was EVEB STAUNCH AND TBUE. and was no small factor in keeping his countrymen on freedom's side against the encroachments of slavery. When the con flict came he was one of President Lincoln's mainstays. It is doubtful if auy other man did so much to strengthen the heart ol Father Abraham in the time of the great crisis as Bishop Simpson. Not long after the surrender of Fort Sumter he visited the President and found him in deepest gloom. Mr. Lincoln expressed great tears as to the financial ability oi the Bepublio in the great crisis. Bishop Simpson told bimof the gold of California, and how Providence bad planned that the conflict should not come until those mines were ready to furnish the sinews of war which were to be the salva tion of the Bepnblic in the day of its need. Mr. Lincoln was cheered by the facts and figures as pressed by Matthew Simpson, and begged him to go out and tell his country men what he had told him. He accepted the commission ol our martyr President and went all over the land enlisting the hearts of the people in the good cause. An old gentleman, who was a member of young Simpson's flock when he first came to Pittsburg, and who still lives at the East End, said recently: "During all those four years of war, from 1861 to 1865, 1 heard no such thrilling words as those of Bishop Simpson in the Opera House on Fifth ave nue, when he spoke in behalf of tne flag, as Lincoln had urged him to do." TBE BISHOP'S PATRIOTISM. A veteran Methodist minister, who re ceived bis title to preach at a conference held in Chillicothe in the dark time of the war, recently said: "At tbat conference in Chillicothe, which will be ever memorable to me, all hearts were turned to the boys at the front, who were facing the enemy of the Bepnblic. Bishop Simpson presided at the conference. Our churches and appoint ments were secondary thoughts that awful time. A war meeting was called on one of the evenings of the conference. The largest hall in the city was secured. It was packed. Standing room was at a, premium. Bishop Mmpsou made his creat speech lor uod and his native land, Such a scene I never wit nessed hftfnrp nnd nevpr prnunt in strain- Tn the midst of one of his appeals the audience Dls act,T0 Pastorate- had ceased, was accus rose spontaneously and cheered and wept tomed to sit In the pulpnt, and. if a straneer ior at least ten minutes in response to tne speaker. I would hare never known the power of eloquence in swaying human hearts if I had not heard Bishop Simpson as he spoke lor the country in those dark days of Manasses and the Wilderness." In calling up these war memories it is re membered to the credit of the Episcopal, Soman Catholic and Methodist Epiicopal Churches, that all were represented on the right side by men who were at the front in their respective denominations. Bishops Mcllvaine, Hughes and Simpson are names that will live in American history as de lenders of the Bepublio in the day of its sorest need. AHISTOBIC CBUBC1T. On the old Washington pike, four miles south of Pittsburg, is the old St Clair United Presbyterian Church, to which Dr. J. C. Boyd lias preached since 1858. The church was lonnded about the beginning of this century, and its first pastor was Ber. Joseph Kerr, father of the late Dr. Djvid Kerr, editor of the United Presbyterian. Tbe pioneer Kerr entered upon the field as a sort of foreign missionary, having been sent out to tbe work by a Belfast Presby tery immediately after his licensure. In In the course of time he was transferred to this city, and was the founder of the United Presbyterian Theological Seminary, of Allegheny. The old church founded by the young Irish missionary still prospers under the ministry of J. C. Bovd, who is still hale and hearty, and gives fair promise of enjoying his semi-centennial with bis first and only flock. It seems a little queer at this day tbat Pittsburg and the region round about should have been looked upon as foreign missionary ground by tbe North of Ireland Presbyteries a century ago. GEEMAK RATIONALISM. Dr. McCosh, of Princeton, has recently given expressions to the view that the Ger man finish to an American student's educa tion is a dangerous thing. Much of the ra tionalism which has crept into the modern churches and ministry is traced to German influence. It has been the fashion for Scotch and American theological students to finish at Heidelberg, Halle or Berlin for the past score or two of years. The effect is seen in the recent trials for heresy in the Free Church assembly. Views that would not have been tolerated in Scotch churches a generation ago are now openly advoeated by professors in theological schools. What the end will be no man can tell. But certain it is that views are now openly upheld in Scotch pulpits and theo logical chairs which would have led to social and religious ostracism not many years ago. Tbe same is in a measure true of American pulpits. The Pittsburg Advo cate in this week's issue deplores the Ger man influence ou modern religious thought thuswise: German finish to the education of American students is a dangerous thing, according to Dr. McCosh. The doctor is right. Germany has wonderful scholarship, but it Is very unprofitable in true nobility of soul. Mucho German theology is spec ulative, and unproductive of results. It is studied for its interest, and not to teach how to work for God. Better the icnorance and zeal of the unlearned disciple than the cold, unresponsive inactivity of the theological genius who wastes bis time In theorizing. Pastor nnd People. THERE are 64 churches of tbe Church of En gland, besides those of other denominations, within a quarter of a mile of Bt. Paul's Cathedral.

Pennsylvania, by church statistics, proves its right to be regarded as tbe home of Presby terlanlsm in this country. Of our own mem bers 42,039 live within its borders. New York numbers 18.714, and Ohio 18.481. Of tbe Pres byterian Church 164.613 members live in Penn sylvania, 4,000 more tban are in New York, and more tban donble the number in Oblo. MB. Moody, in a recent address speaking of the decline of Infidelity in the past five years, said: "Then the yonng men were fall of Inger sollism and thought tbat Christianity was worn out. But they have found tbat tbere is noth ing in Infidelity. It does not give anything." This Is part of tbe same movement which we see in France. The men there are going back to the churches. Pitor. W. R. Harper, of Yale College, will probably be tbe President of tbe new Baptist University, of Chicago. Prof. Harper began his brilliant career as a teacher in Chicago, leaving there several years since to go to Yale University, where he holds three chairs. In addition, he Is prominent In the Chautauqua summer schools. Prof. Harper is a young man, not yet 40 years old. He Is a son-in-law of Rev. David Paul, D. D., of New Concord, O. A certain Baptist minister and revivalist in Texas has become stage struct. He Is to be come an actor. He believes in the versatile exercise of talent, it would appear, tor we un derstand tbat through tbe secular week he will he on tbe stage, and on Sunday be will occupy bis pulpit. We are not sure about that. Un less those Baptists are of tbe exceedingly tough-shell type, similar to tbe Bald Kuubbers, we think tbat bis people may put In a veto. Dr. Philip Shaft, of Union Presbyterian Seminary, N. Y., was recently called in as an expert In a lawsuit among tbe United Brethren to testify concerning changes made in their creed. He was called on by one of tbe attor neys to state the difference between Cilvanlsm and Arroenianlatn. Concerning the Are points of Calvinism Dr. Shaa said: One of these distinctive points is unconditional predestina tion; a second, limited atonement; a tbird, slavery of the human will; a fourth, irresisti ble grace; a fifth, perseverance of the saints. Prof. If. a. Maeck says: "At present the populations, either speaking tbe English language or under tbe domination of English speaking people, number more than 318.293,000, or one-fourth of the population of the globe. They live in all regions; tbey handle all articles of trade; they preach to all nations; tbey com mand one-balf of tbe world's gold and silver; tbey dlstribnte more than two-thirds of tbe Bibles and Testaments.

W. E. Gladstone. The Pittsburg Christian Advocate has this to say of one uf our Western Pennsylvania colleges: Allegheny College, tbe oldest of the Methodist Episcopal educational iostitntions of this section of the country, has just passed her 75th birthday, entering upon her fourth quarter of a century with all tbe buoyancy of yontb. This year records the largest graduat ing claBS since her founding In 1815 37 received tbe degree of A. B., 6 that of C. K.. 9 in music and 9 in post-praduate courso of Ph. D. 3 he examinations were more thorough than here tofore, being confined to written questions and answers. Ten were selected by tbe faculty to represent the class, who did great credit to themselves and also to the college. Dr. Joseph Bellamy was one of the creat Puritan divines of New England. On tbe Fourth of July a monument to bis memory was dedicated at Bethlehem, Conn. Several of bis descendants were in attendance, viz.: Mr. Elizabeth Betlamy Loomls, of Greenfield, Mass., and Mrs. Elizabeth Sheldon, of Hart ford, two great-granddaughters; Miss Eliza beth Goddard, of Zanesville, O., a great-grand daughter; Miss Constance Q. Du Bois, a great-great-great-granddaughter, and Mrs. A. C. Hard, of watertown. Edward Bellamy, tbe author of "LooKinc Backward," is a great-great-grandson of Dr. Bellamy, and was ex pected to be present, but he was unablo to at tend. THE oldest religions newspaper, the Christian Herald, New York, edited by lie v. Dr. Talmage, says: "Tbe Boston Recorder began tbe cam paign of religious journalism In 1813.'' In tbese few words tbere are two errors. 1. The' Boston Recorder did not make its appearance until 1818. 2. Tbe Boston Recorder did not begin the "campaign of religious journalism" at all. This was done by the .ftecoi d: r. the first num ber of which was published July 6, 1314, in Chillicothe, O.; and tbe Presbyterian Banner Is its unbroken continuance, though tbe name bas been changed. The first number of tbe Jiecorder lias all the departments of tbe best religious journals of to-day. Dr. Talmage would do well to "read up" on religious jour nalism. Dr. Leonard Bacon, of New Haven, after oreached, to Introduce him to the congregation. One Sunday be said: "Tbe first pastor of this church was the Rev. John Davenport." and he proceeded to pronounce a brief eulozy upon him. "The grandson of that pastor was tbe Hev. John Davenport, of Stamford. Tbe son of that pastor was tbe Rev. James Davenport, of Bouthold, L. X. We are to day to bo ad dressed by a lineal descendant of Jobn Daven port, our first pastor." The minister thus In troduced was observed to be blnsbtng violently, and tbe occasion of his embarrassment became evident when he announced his text: "Visit ing the Iniquities of tbe fathers upon tbe chil dren unto the tbird and fourth generation." a The Presbyterian Church has had a curious question to deal with, and bas settled it In a legal but, it would seem to u, not very satis factory manner. It has somewhere a church composed entirely of women, which wanted recognition by a local Presbytery; but failed to get it. It bad no men of whom to make ruling elders and a session, and these are a necessity to every Presbyterian church. Here was in deed a serious difficulty. The Presbytery passed the question on, and It reacbed the Gen eral Assembly. Here It was decided tbat the Church could not be organized until It could form a session of men. We do not question the regularity of this decision, but it opens up a large question, which may well bo studied by the Presbyterian and other, churches. Ought there to be such regulations in any chnrch as ulll prevent a body of faithful Christians from organizing a church and enjoying its services and sacraments becauso nf sex or any other natural consideration? Clearly not. And It is well known tbat a company of codly women are just as competent to officer and manage a church successfully as any class of people in the world. Exchange. LATE NEWS IN BRIEF.
