Stephen’s, has declined the cull to the Church of the Epiphany, Washington, D. p. OvEE Beventy persons have united 1 theni- Belvea recently with the Green Street Metho dist Episcopal Church, Rev. J. W. Jackson, pastor. Tire Rev. Alfred Pauil was installed pastor of the Presbyterian church at Hestonville, near thiß city, on Sabbath evening last, by a committee of the Central Presbytery of Phila delphia. Tiihitt churches have been aided since last May by the Church Erection Board •’of the Presbyterian Church. The receipts for this purpose, during December last, amounted to $2,719 17. On Sunday last Rt. Rev. Bishop Wood ad ministered the Sacrament of Confirmation to 89 boys in the St. John’s Orphans’ Asylum. This institution is under the care of the Sis ters of St. Joseph. The Church of the Good Shepherd (Epia copal), in Hartford, Conn., built entirely by Mrs!; S&muel Colt, web dedicated lately. Four bishops and sixty clergymen were present The -building cost about $200,000. A large hotel was Jateiy burned in St Paul. Minnesota, and among the guests was the.-Rev., Di. Boardman, with bis son and daughter, of this city. They lost everything they had, including trunks, books, clothing, &c. t amounting in value to several hundred dollars. On* hundred thousand dollars were sub scribed January 28tb, in Mew York, by the Methodist laymen, towards afnnd of half a million for building churches in destitute parts of the city. Four church enterprises are already on hand, and others will be un dertaken. The Free: Methodist Church has had a de nominational existence since the fall of iB6O. During eigbtyears it has increased in strength, until last fall it numbered 6,000 members, had ninety-four preachers and forty-mine church edifices, ami owned church property valued at nearly $170,000. At the request of the Young Men’s Chris tian Association, the Rev. J. L. Witherow will preach a sermon especially to young men to-morrow evening, at the Arch Street Presbyterian Church, Arch street above Tenth. This interesting course of sermons is intended particularly for strangers in the city and young men without regular places ofworßhipi A Quaker was Recently received into a Presbyterian church in Brooklyn,New York, (Rev- Dr. Cuyler's), having been dismissed by the “Monthly Meeting” in New York,and commended to this church in a very fraternal letter. This is the first case of the kind oc curriDg in New Y ork or Brooklyn, and but the second that has occurred in America. It excites much interest The Protestant Episcopal Church of the Reconciliation is the name of a new enter prise which has grown out of St Andrew’s Chapel, Thirteenth street below Washington avenue. The congregation has become eo strong and prosperous that a new place of worship is demanded. A lot is to be pur chased on Broad street, and a church in keeping with the locality erected. The Ebenezer M E. Church of this city, Rev.. Dr. Alday pastor, has recently beenlm- S roved at an expense of $6,400; the mem erehip has been greatly increased, and it is now enjoyiog a season of great prosperity. Last Sunday was missionary day, and the contributions am printed to $l,OOO. The Sun - day School missionary anniversary attracted a large audience. Tho offerings of the chil dren amonnted to $5OO. 'An interesting piece of intelligence haa ar rived from the Holy Land. The Church of tbe Holy Sepulchre, around which the blood of so many myriads, from the Crusades to the Crimea, has flowed, has at last been re stored in a new style, and stands once more perfect, having been partially re-erected and wholly re-beautified, strange to say, under the supervision of a French and a Russian ambassador, and a high Mohammedan func tionary. By invitation of several of the best known clergymen oi different denominations in this city, the Rev. Henry Dane Ward will deliver in the lectnre room of the Church of the Epiphany, the Rev. Dr. Newton’s, on con secutive Thursday evenings, four lectures on “The Gospel of the Kingdom and Reign of God on Earth.” The lectures are free to the pnblic,and free from sectarian partiality. The first is to be given on Thursday evening next, Feb. 18th, at 71 o’clock. On last Tuesday evening five persons re ceived the rite of immersion in the' Third Baptist Church, Rev. J. H. Peters. At Broad and Brown streets, on Wednesday evening, Dr. E. L. Magoon administered the same sacrament to four others. At the Bap tist Church in Old Chester, on last Babhatu, a number were baptized. Revivals of reli gion are in progress all over the city. In some instances-prayer meetings have been held during the entire day, from 9 A. M. till 9 P. M., and been attended by large audiences. The thirty-third anniversary of the Sun day School Missionary Society: of Sf. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church was celebrated on Tuesday evening last. Rev. I)r. Beiss presided, and addresses were made by Rev. Sir. Hunt, of West Philadelphia, Mr. God frey, Rev. Dr. Bciss and others. The annual report showed that there had been contributed to missionary purposes, $440. There was also contributed towards the erection of a chapel for a feeble church in the southern part of the city, the sum ot $O4O. The ope rations of the Society are made through the Sunday School Union, and have been the means of accomplishing much good. The Methodist Theological Seminary at Frankfort-on-the-Main was recently dedi cated with appropriate ceremonies. The latest foreign mails give an interesting ac count of the proceedings. The building is described as being 72 feet front, four stories high, and situated on the Roederberg or Roeder Hill, the highest part of the city. The grounds lie near the banks of the river Main, with a beautiful view of the surrounding country, and overlooking Frankfort and its vicinity. The cost of the land was about $O,OOO, and the building, when completed, will cost upwards of $75,000. The funds for the erection of this institution are derived from the gift of $50,000, made by a citizen of Brooklyn, N. Y., who, it is stated, intends adding enough to complete it Tns Friend sayß: “Since the year 1830, two Quarterly Meetings out of the eleven that formerly constituted the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting, and several Monthly Meetings have been laid down, from declining numbers or inconsequence of the secession of 1827; whilst thirty-seven meetings for worship have been finally abandoned, and reported to the Yearly Meeting as dissolved within this pe riod, and their meeting-houses are now deso late and forsaken, or else demolished. Mean time numerous other congregations through out our bordershave dwindled away to a cozen or, fewer attendants. But five new meetings are reported on the records to have ‘ Been established anywhere within the, juris diction of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting'since the year .1830; and although some congrega tions have increased in size latterly, it has lo"m others®™ &t lhe expenSo of mi S ratlon j THE BIRCH IN THE BOUDOIR. Tbe Flagellbuta of modern Britain. j Another step has been taken in the onward march of feminine aggression. On all sides the,fortress in which masculine presumption has so long been entrerichea is now assailed, and one by one the outworks hie falllrif. That hideous old superstition of the supre macy of man having once been denied, and bis claims to an' exclusive use of any virile properties, from brains to breeches, having <pnce been vitiated,it is astonishing to see how rapidly the whole social and political fabric Which bas been constructed on that founda tion is tumbling to pieces. Man’s monopoly of cigars, of clubs, of the pulpit, of the liberal professions, of sports, of aca demical life, and, of the franchise, having each of them been more or less successfully infringed, one might almost have been inclined to fancy that there waß little else left which woman could grudge him; that he had been stripped of every shred of his ancient en croachments, and that, except the trifling and accidental distinctions of sex and of bodily strength, there was now really no property and no qualityjeft undisputed which might be said to-'flifmrentiate the male from the female Briton. But such a conclusion would be premature, There is at least, it seemß, one more great privilege, one more time-honored custom, which the male inhabi tants of this country have been used to arro gate to themselves, and of the exercise of which there are divers notorious emblems and Instruments. The male Inhabitants of Great Britain have been hitherto distin guished from their female compatriots, as from the inhabitants of most. other countries, by the peculiar Insular privilege bf receiving cor poral chastisement'at certain stages and in certain conditions of their existence; and in deed, until very recently, it would not have been an inaccurate account of the difference between Englishmen and, Englishwomen which described the former as that portion of theacommnnity which is, and the latter as that which is not, flogged. It was not likely that women, in their present mood of self assertion, wduld long allow such an invidious distinction to remain unchallenged. If the youDg Englishwoman is to be trained to be in ail respects as like as possible to what the young Englishman has been, it is clear that means of discipline and correction similar to those which have been in force among men must be brought to bear upon the girls. It was to be expected that before long that should occur which has now, it seems, in fact occurred; that man’s monopoly of the birch and the cane, as instruments of train ing or education, should be attacked in the same way as bis monopoly of the academy, ihe pulpit aDd the-franchise; that a eect of Female Flagellants would arise to swell the numbers of thoee who are assailing man’B empire; and that to the women who wish to preach, the women who wish to graduate, and the women who wish to vote, would shortiy be added the women who ffrish to flog. That in the year 1869 there Bhouid be living in England, and in London, a considerable number of women, moving apparently in good society, and some of them titled, who are in the regular habit of stripping anlflog/ ging with birches, apple-twigs, or leather straps, their daughters of thirteen years old and upwards, must appear to foreigners sim ply incredible, and to most Englishmen very queer. Yet that such is the case is amply proved by a correspondence in the English woman's Domestic Magazine, on the sub ject or “Flogging Girls,” which commenced in August of last year, and which, after hav ing lasted six months, and having handled the details of corporal punishment In a style which certainly did not err on the side of too much reserve or delicacy, has at last appa rently been brought to a conclusion by a summing np from the conductor of the mag azine favorable bn the whole to the cause of the flagellants. This corres pondence, or “conversazione,” as the ladies’ periodicals affect to call their agglomerations of rambling queries and epistleß on any topic which happens to interest their patrons, from best methods of education to best methods of removing superfluous hair,shows that there are in England many women—some of theta de clared by the conductor of the English woman's Domestic Magazine to be “ladies of title, and well worthy of atten tion" —who make it a regular practice, “for certain faults,” to strip their grown-up girls, and, either, by their own hands or by the hands of governesses to inflict Upon them severe floggings. Nor is this all. Some of these ladies are downright enthusiasts for the birch and taws. They Beem to glory in the privilege of thrashing their girls. They give faithful representations, carefully drawn from the life, ot their own pet mode of conducting the operation. The preliminaries, the place of execution— sometimes a bed room, sometimes a boudoir —the instrument of torture, the behavior of the victim before, during,and after the infliction of the floggiDg, in short the most minute details of the entire process, are described with that graphic force which some women exhibit when writing on a subject which powerfully excites thetii. These writers do not even take the line qf apologizing for the inhumanity, or of ens deavoring to palliate the shame, which must be involved in the proeeSff^ of stripping and flcggiDg a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old. On the contrary, som s of them, who seem to have a Bort of mission for propagating the doctrine of flogging girls; are most" keen In recommending means whereby the pain may be made as severe and the shame as over whelming to the sufferer as possible. Thus, for example, a “Mother of a Family” who evidently belongs to this class of enthusiasts, who says that Bhe was herself flogged “until Bhe was fully fourteen years old,” and who,in describing her experiences, occasionally em ploys a phraseology which is a little too highly spiced to be quoted here, writes : “I have my girls’ fullest love and confidence; yet I never omit the punishment for certain faults. At the same time it causes hardly an hour’s intermission of our happy intercourse. It is, of course, Inflicted in strict privacy, and without anger or scolding. A short while ago I tested both plans in the caße of a niece, a' girl of thirteen, who was placed under my control in my house. She had been reared on the ‘moral force’ plan, and was as bold and disobedient a child as could be met with. For a month J tried the moral plan, but in vain. At leDgth I resolved to see what the rod would do; and so, taking her with me one day after gross misconduct into a secluded room, I lectured her kindly and gently on her behavior, and finished by telling her that, as all other means had failed, I would now give her a sound whipping. Bhe was much dis mayed, as you may guess; but seeing how calm and determined I was, she quietly sub mitted, and I gave her what some American friends call ‘a spanking,’ sharp, short and effectual. From that day the greatest change has been visible in her; and though four months have elapsejd, I have found it neces sary to repeat the operation only twice.” Only twice! and does this enthusiastic flagellant, in whom the disposition to flog . appears to be coDgs-ltal or inherited habit, really, think that three floggings in the course of foiifr months are a small allowance for a young lady in her fourteenth year? Would a Harrow boy of the same age consider it-a small allowance? What would a Wykeha mist in 'the Fifth Book think of being “bibled” or “scrubbed” at the rate of nine times a year? But then Wykehamißts and I h THE DAILY EVENING BPlkEfoN— 13,1869, , Harrovians are not, if we may judge from the i lamentations and complaints of parents and teachers in the Englishwoman's Domestic Magazine, so unruly, so insubordinate, and so generally incorrigible as young ladies aged , Ifojn,,thirteen la Thus one poor ' describing! the failure- of an attempt to educate'girls under 'the “no • personal -chastisement system,” says: ! “Their progress was so unsatisfactory, and their general conduct so insubordinate and unladylike, that I yielded to tbe reiterated solicitations of the governess, and consented td her introducing the rod. One was accord ingly procured, and at her suggestion it was of soft, pliable leather, cat into long, narrow thongs at one end, which she assured me produced intense pain with little or no injury to the person. I directed the govern ebs to inflict u'pon'eacb of them a most severe which was arranged to take place in her boudoir immediately after evening prayer. Tbe eldest was first taken to her dressing-room and prepared for the rod,-and then conveyed to the bondoir by the govern ess, who at once administered tbe discipline. Tbe younger one was then prepared, and re ceived a wholesome flagellation. These Whippings were administered sopra dorsum nudum (sic), the delinquents being tightly strapped to an ottoman during the castiga tion, at the conclusion of which they had to kjsq,tiie .rpd and thank the governess, when they were permitted to retire. Since then there-has been a most marked improvement id their behavior, and: the made in their studies has been truly gratifying. It is nbw nearly nine months since one had to be corrected in the boudoir,'although the rod is yet occasionally applied to the palms of their htrida when they are negligent.” )At the commencement oi tfais discussion on the art and mystery of flagellation, it' ap peared that there was a largenumber of fair as pirants to initiation in the mystery who were extremely ignorant of its most elementary de tails. Venr numerous and very various- in quiries as to the best instruments to the best means of making or procuring it, and as to the best mode of applying it when procured, appear to have poured in upon the editor such as it might have perplexed even Orbilius himself to have answered satisfactorily. Bat the editor was equal to the occasion. He availed himself of the assistance of some persons of his own sex who had experience ot the flogging of boys; and. their teachings, backed by the extreme keenness and eager ness to learn which the patronesses of the magazine exhibited, have caused a most rapid and astonishing advance io tbe develop ment of tbe doctrine and discipline of'tbiß Dew Society for the Whipping of Young Women. The following six princi ples may be said to be definitely adopted by the Society: 1. 80 long as girls are under their parents’proteor tion there is practically no limit of age, short of twenty-one years, beyond which they may not be profitably flogged. “Even at tne age of eighteen,'’cries one enthusiastic mother, “I will administer corporal chastisement;” while another says that she inflicts this dis cipline “regardless of the age of the offender, who, if she behaves like a child, must expect to be treated as one.” 2. The flogging of a girl should always be effective; and it is so in proportion as it produces shame and pain. 3. With tbe view of producing shame, it is de sirable that the sufferer's sisters should be present at the operation. 4. For similar reasons, and also in order to obviate resist ance, it may be well to summpn the attend ance of the servants: “On tbe first occasion (says a lady who signs herself a ‘Lover of the Rod’) on which your girls show disobedience and want of re spect for their mother, order all three up to your bedroom, to wait till you come. I would keep them all three waiting in sus pense, as not comprehending your intentions. Then I would provide myself with a good birch sod or cane (a cane is very severe), go up stairs, shut the doors, and at once tell tbe eldest one you are going to give her a flog ging. Doubtless she will teel much aston ished, and very indignant; but if you are firm, and threaten to call In the servants to help yon, she will submit There must be shame as well as pain in this; but she bas deserved both, in my opinion; and one such punish ment in the presence of her two Bisters will do everything.” ( 5. With the view of producing pain the suf ferer piust be unflinchingly stripped. This principle was, after some hesitation, finally settled in t,he last number of the magazine, on the "authority of "an old gentleman who affirmed that “during his school career it was biß duty, ah junior King’s Scholar, tb pur chase and apply all the birch rods of the col lege,” who says that in choosing the instru ment“salutary care must be taken to purchase rods with good buds, the handles being about the thickness of {he wrist,” and who “warns perplexed mothers that any interpo sition of underclothing materially interferes with the efficiency of the operation.” The sixth rule Btates how and where the rod is to be applied. The discussion of this question dees not appear to have presented the least difficulty, to,the conductors or the contribu tors of this magazine. They have treated tbe topic with a freedom and fearlessness of ex pression which is justified by one corres pondent onthe ground that “the English woman's Magazine is written for women only,” and which we may therefore suppose represents, in the opinion of that correspond ent, the genuine esoteric or after-dinner style of ladies’"conversation. The'reader, is "hot likely to feel much desire to intrude into the mysteries of such a conversauonjandJjesides, enough has already been said to snSw how rapid a progress has been made since the summer by this new sect of female flagellants in the organization and propagation of their doctrines. The French Commissioners who recently reported to the Emperor on our Public Schools express their astonishment that our great Head-Masters, with their huge salaries, their extensive learning, their high reputation, their dignified social position, and their good prospecls of seats in the House ol Lords, should condescend to use the birch; and they declare their conviction that the custom will soon die out. It seems plain, from what haß been written during the last six months in the Englishwoman’s Domestic Magazine, that if the English Head-Masters do abandon the custom of flogging, it will be enthusiasti cally maintained by English mothers and their governesses. Is it possible that before loDg the only creatures in Europe, besides cattle, that are flogged, will be English criminals and English girls ? Or is the whole of this amazing correspondence fictitious ? Is it nothing more than an elaborate and vulgar hoax? Have “Materfamilias,” the “Marchi oness,” the “Perplexed Mother,” and the other “Lovers of the Rod” no existence out of the fertile brain of the conductor of the Englishwoman's Domestic Magazine f One of these, two hypotheses-must be true, and it is hard to say which of them is the more preposterous, — Saturday Review.
