FIIE REFORMED EPISCOPAIt
CRURCII
The first anniversary of the Re
formed Episcopal Church in the
United States, says the Be/ib/le of
Siturdn.y, was celebrated by its con
gregationS in this city and elsewLere
yesterday. Just one year ago the
organization took place in Associa
-tion Hall.• The old Book of Com
mon Prayer wa i revised. The word
'"driest," which was regarded as ob
noxious, was expugned, and the
words " presbyter," or " minister,"
substituted. .It was resolved not to
declare infants regenerate in the or
dinance of baPtism, but :to 'thank
God for the regeneration of the
babes after baptism. Instead of pro
nouncing /absolution standing, the
minister vas to kneel and offer a
prayer ; and the phrase, "He de
scended into hell," was omitted frOm
the Apostles'.Creed. Such were
some of the cLauges resolved upon
ily the first Convention of the new
Church. They were made because
it was urged that the Prayer Book;
60 reformed; might
,be used by any
body of :Evangelical Christians, an
accommodation for,which all Evan:
4eltcal
.o.iristendour, no doubt, ,feels
grateful. The people generally may
fail, to appreciate the value of the
cliang -., es which' were made, yet it will
'be abinowledt,Yed that in any change
of words, or phrases which have been
used •by an old-established c urch
fir generations, is the beginni of a
D i
new education whichovith the Swung
at least, is sure to succeed. Id the
year, that has trapspired since the
iirst Convention, considerable pro
gress has been made by the reform
ers.. _They have established them
selves at a number of points with n
determination and an eanestness
which leave no doubt in the'public
mind as to the possibility of their
continuing. The conflict between
Rev. Mr. CHEESY and the late Bishop
WHITE:HOUSE in Chicago made that a
stronghold, and Mr. CIIEEINY a Bishop.
Bishop CCIIMINS kept faith with the
lit'ornises which he made to his lib
eral minded brethren in the old
Church. Whether they all kept faith
with him is one of the secrets be
longing to_ the ref Orin movement
.tvhlch may come day_come to light.
At present it is suspected that not
only one or 'two, but a large number
of well knOwn,liberals, or kiwchurch
club,- were eipected to fall in line
when the tocsin of Bishop C'Cllmlse'
declaration was sounded. Te s:ep
on the part of the Kentucky relate
was bold and manly, andindi ated a
'strong faith in the ultimate triumphs
of the principles for which he con
tended. , The progress of the move

Tun Pittaborgh Post denies the re
,rt, widely published, that an in
ternal fire is raging under a Portion
of that prosperous city. The Post
says :
" Really, we must insist that this
perpetual round of sensationalism
relative to the internal fires that are
said to be rigiu g beneath our city,
should cease. There are no such
fires. At one point, near the edge of
a hill, there is a little smouldering
fire, which will be estingaished in a
tew days at most, and this, so far as
it has gone, absolutely endangers no
property or works whatever. It has
Icing been a favorite topic of the sd
perstition,—that there are sabtera
',eau fires, kept alive originally by
bandits, who emerged from iheir.eul
phurous' homes, stormy niglifs, when
all was dark and forbidding and
having committed their depredations
shrank back to their firey homes.
-We believe-. several very sartliiig
novels have barn based upon the,e
incidents.- And so from time to time
the subject comes up fresh awl new,
It is a vrry attractive topic when a
sensational dispatch or paragraph is
needed. There is something quite
terrible in the idea that a city of
over 100,000 population rests upon a
slumbering volcana. or, what., is like
it, a mass of smouldering fire. But
it is isn't true. Pompeii did its duly
in its day,—hUt Pittsburgh is 'not
like it.''
THE great FERNANDO WOOD has
given, to the pribliehis idea, of the
kind of man that the Democrats
should select- for the Speakership of
the next Congress He wants a man
who c.in advance the ; Democratic
cause, and says : " I don't care
what his antecedents may be.
I don't care whether such' a man
drinks whisky; plays poker, or
pockets his back pay." He may, be'
a gambler, a- drunkard, a thief, or: a
traitor, and- all this goes for nothing
with the great Sew York Democrat.
Well-there are a-great many leading
Demdcrats who will require these
peccadilloes to be Overlooked if they
are to be elevated to high places. but
what say the moral and respectable
ocOple of the country ? Are they.
too, indifferent as to whether or not
their highest officials are drunkards,
gamblers, thieves and traitors, so
only that,they will labor to advance
the prospects .of the Democratic
party ? Truly, Democracy clingy to
rotten timber when it thus takes to
its bosom the clies, which the whole
moral world abhors.

WHAT THE TRANSIT OE VENUS
=ANIL
The following statement will give
our readers a clear understanding of
what the " transit or Venus," about
WhiCh so much has been said.for the
•
past few weeks, means :
Those of our, readers who can re
c , tll their first lessons in astronomy
'Anil remember the familiar statement
hat " the sun is ninety-five millions
of miles (in round numbers) from
the earth." Thus was the orthodox
stronomical belief for a - hundred
.ears before the last "Transit of
Veurts," (1769), and remained so for
aearly a hundred years after that.
event. Some closer' calculations of
the observations of that transit,
which were completed by ilia ai"-
tronioner Encke, - about the year 16:24,
made the distance from the centre of
the loarth. to', the centre , of the. sun
95 370:000 - Miles. So the old foram
la hf ninety-five millions of milts
rem i ained , sufficiently accurate fur
poplar nse, and so retained its place
-in the school astronotuies. But it
Was! not yet precise enough fur the
uselof the nautical almanac makers
—those practical astronomers and
Insthernatical computers, who have to
calculate the movements. and posi
tions of the heavenly , bodies for sev
eral years in advance, fOr the use of
navigators of the high seas. These
latter, in making their perilous voy •
ages through the pathless waste of
waters, have no sue guides but their
cbrOnometers atl.ll' the movements
and pogitions of the sun, moon and
stars. It is, therefore, in the highest
degree essential • to their safety that
the ,chancesfor error in the nautical
almanacs shall be reduced to the
lowest minium:n.l It is for this reason
that there is so much sblicitude con
cerniiig the precise distance of the'
earths from the situ and moos and the.
other heavenly bodies withm` our
planetary system; it is for this reason
that such unwire, careful and'exhaus
tive' observation are made ; it is f o r
this' reason that nut only years, but
cimturies, are devoted - to continuous
observaticns ; and finally-. it ii for
this' reason that there is so much dis
cussion just now , of , the present
"Triusit of Venus' across the face
of too sun, which Was being observed
files , lay night by scores of American
anilo:her astronotu.ri, stationed in'
tile' ewer:re :hemisphere ; for these
transits " furnish one of the best
in:-lips for rueasurin•• the sun's die
tanee from the earth. -
About twenty years ego, however,
the desirability uf greater accuracy
in this meaurement started a number
of other metheds for testiug, revising
liudlcorrecting the accepLed , standard
of distance. .A.mong these are ex-,
haustive calculations of the effects of
the ,sun's attraction ou - the moon;
and of the relative weight of the sun
and earth, and the consequent dis
tance which ought to 'separate them
in order that the centrituoat motion
of the earl h to its orbit shall precise
ly balance the attraction of the sun.
Andl there have been still other veri
fications attempted, based upon ob
servations of the Planet liars, and of
the time required', [498 seconds] for
light to. pass from the -sun to the
earth.
The result of all .the laborious ob
servations and computations was to
show 'that the 95,370,000 miles of
Encke were too great, and that the
real distance is somewhere between
92 200,0.00 and 92 700,060 miles.—
Here, notwithstanding all the care of
the observers and ; all the nice and
delicate methuds ?f modern science
and mechanical ingenuity, there is
still an uncertainty, to the extent of
half 'ti million of miles great in
ab,-olute 'figures, but not, much -in
sash'; Cast distances, yet i still enough
to make it highly desirable to get
closer, and this is what u'iir American
as . 3trkin,,mers and photographers, with
their, foreign colleagues, were trying
to do watching the " Transit of Ve
nus" last night oar the opposite side
of the globe, where it was broad day
Some of these American, -astrono
mers and photographers are station
ed on desolate islands in the vast
Sonther i n Ocean, some in New Zea
land, some in ,Anstralia,; some in
J Lpau and China, and some in North•
eastern Asia. Tuts wide distribution
of the observing parties is made
partly for prudential reasons, in order
to increase the chance of finding an
unclouded sky at one station, if it
should unfortunately be overcast with
clouds at another; -and partly from
the (desirability of planing nearly
the whole diameter of the earth be
iween two sets of Observers', in order
to afford them the largest practica
ble "base line" on which to erect their
angular meaiimrements. Seven thous
and Miles is not 1111101 of abase when
you 'are trying to measure th ' e dis
tance of an .objet 92,000,6000 of
wiles away, and when the angle to
be marked by thoutelescopeand by
tho 'observer is less than the one
tenth part of a second, or less than
one part of a scale divided into
twelve. million nine hundred nud Sixty
thousand parts. The diameter of
the
when
is just next to nothing
when dealing with such vast dis
tanc^e's and the iufiutesimal angles
they present. Minute, however, as
these subdivision' of space may be,
and great precision AR they demand
in the iustrrunent and in the observer,
still more minuteness is
,required iu
making the exact instant of time when
the critical point of -an important as
troriomical observation is Made. The
experienced observeriwtiose trained
eye is guiding his skilled hand, will'
at the critical instatatrtonch the key
of a delicate piece of machinery that

second of time—the hundredth part
of the interval between two ticks et
a watch‘—and which instrument could
mark thethouan'dth part of a second
if human eye and hand were quick
enough n their notion._
_The great
advances made in the precision of all
astronomical work in the last hun
dred years is due, not more to the
cultivated intellect of the' scientist
than to the skilled hands of .thelme
chanic, who arms the scientist with

knowing that (poi. Dix will not par
dun him, and [l thiat the Governor

he appealed once more td the eatirts.
He was taken (Mt of prison on a
writ of habeas corlius, and taken be
fore the court, wh:ere he petitioned
to he discharged :In the score that
the' court that tried him had no jiir
isdietion. Judgel l ßarrett decided,
of conrse, agairiiit the illustrious
thief, and back beii:vent. Wednesday
.night a rumor prevailed' that he had
given the officers .he slip, and had
got away to Europe; and the le was
for an hoar genrally credited. It
was the more readily believed,.. for
everybody knowsi that if the Boss
has the natiney he is credited with,
he can buy hiii w it out without trou

upon it was
not encouraging tii one who wants to
Ik-.lieve in the honesty of mankind.
"I \ am .glad the old man has got

" Why glad 2" I ailikedi ."
Oh, he has

tie sapposed, as 'did all the world,
that the rotund Ohl thief was dressed
in

and doing prison duty the

better informed he addressed a coin
tunnication to the Mayor, protesting
against giving' the wan who had
plundered the city of $2O 000,000 a
:mite of rooms, I servants, citizen's
clothes, and otl4r luxuries, and of

RENTd AND EMPTY STORES.
The esorbitantlrents demanded on
Broadway are telling on that street.
Between the Astor House and 1.1 - h
street there are over one hundred'
elegant stores, IF:l the windows of
which are displayed the diebearteu•
ing kegenti "To Ltit," apd this legend
is growing more common daily. The
Broadway ownerif put np rents year
idler year, without. any regard to the
value of the protierly. $12,000, $l5
000,520,000 per annum were common,
114nres. This wits all well &Longa
ditring-the war and the &fell •tira that
followed tt, but I,vlien the pinching
times came it cold not be endured.
No business tbaticould be transacted
on the premises could pay this refit,
and house after house went down in
the vain eudealor. 'The landlords
would not redueit, for they had faith
if Smith wouldn't keep £he store
Jones would be klad to take it, and
as they had bru t accustomed to liv
inwin the style of $2O 000 rents they
did not like• tol came down. But
Smith either quill business or he went
over to some of the side streets, and
-Jones knew too inuch to go into ruin
blindfold, - and so the stores are
empty. This is rt it should be. There
is no reason its keeping up to war
prices in anything, and rents ought
to be the first to come down. True,
it depreciates real estate ; but why
should it, not ? There is nothing
made by calling fifty cents a dollar.
51en cannot labOr _forever for land
lords.
And by the weir, speakibg of "corn
ing down - 1 ". there is being -
CONSIDERABLE ECoNOII.Ii
practiced at this' l time. Gentlemen
who,'a year ago vere in the habit of
stepping into titerfashiOtiabie Broad._
way tailors and aying' $lOO or $l5O
for an overcoat, without askmg to e .
Price, are not doing it. to any alarm
ing extent. They go into the Bowery
and the other ce ap streets, "and buy
for s3o'to $5O w at they would have
.to pity $75 to stop fur on Broadway.
And they find that a pair of Loots
made on a cheap street for $lO looks
just as well and wears just as long as
the pair that thei pretentious Broad
way maker coolly asks, and gets, $lB
fur. This style lof economizing is
getting to be very pOpular. Men
joke about it and', take a pride in it.
And, to the. disgust of the high
priced bars, thousands Of them have
chinged their drinking places. They
get their modest quenches or their
stiff invigorators! at the quiet plaqs
around the corin3r, where 10 centsr
dues as much trard sending them
into a drunkard's grave as 25 or 30
would at the fashionable bars. Of
Course there' are plenty of noodles
who still submit to be fleeced as of
yore, but the lumber is growing
smaller every day. Let us hope that
it will continue uetit we get down to
ante-war prices. That is what the
country wants. 4 is impossible to
hold up to the 0141 key, and the soon
er-we all drop the better.
7 ...iLw you- AND TRADE.
Yew York is b ilig exercised once
i i)
more about lost'g a portion of its
trade It is a 'fact that the grain
trade is going t? Boston and Balti
more very rapidly, and that the pros
pect is good that' the remainder will
go to those cites. New York has
depended so lorlg upon her natural
advantages, has o long believed that
'he continent tnust come to her,
that shie ha's got arrogant and lazy as
well. She is Outent to have grain
taken out of carp and carted to ves
sels, and to havfi a horde of leeches
fasten upon every bushel and suck
the life out of itl In the ineaniircie,
adranore, whiela, by the way,' is

centres, builds splendid eleva•ors,
with which she Ou haudl- gram at a

same. The Babianore & Ohio tioad,
whose arms Cover all the territory
that prci tnccs anything, refa4i-s Togo
Into couibieutions, and the result
tliat this, irery)rtinit. traffic goes there.
Baltiteore has t liptured the toffee
trade, Bgsron jobs her own ruleufite
tares, and New I York, the beet point
on the Continent for , trade,
sits•and
mourns. Bat this - is not all. The
West is not content to remain tribu
tary. to Nov York. Chicago, St.
Louts, Cincinnati, Toledo and the
other great centres are importing on
their own account from . V.urope, and
are handling domestics as w. It .as
New York. Consequently the mourn
ers go about the streets of the Me
tropolis. ud all this because the
city has depended upon her " natal.-
al advantages," and forgotten that
enterprise-can do' away with disad
vantages*. and remedy what nature
has left undone. New York has got
to. do something to hold her mine
mecy. •

The strikes are virtually over. The
'long shoremen had the best chance
of all the tracleEi fur succ - ss, for
while a factory may shut down and

and it takes skilled labor to do it,but-1
