brought up from the same olden well. It is just suoma

srwaal appearance. We should .also, add that there
are several appropriate and expressive Illustrations. It

“ Where is Hell, ash What is It 7” Rev.
Mr. 'Barrett, the Swedenborgfan minister, whose
lectures on Sunday, evening, at the corner of Broad
and Brandywine streets, have attracted consider
able attention, proposes to answer these questions
to-morrow evening, according to the doctrine of the
New Church, ’ ,
Congregationalism.— This movement, which'
was begun in the summer of 1862, by Bev, D. L.
Gear and a-feg other persons, in the upper sestlon
of our city, In the old district of Kensington, has
been productive of good results. Two additional
churches have since been organized, and have met
with success. The Second Church has leased the
church building corner of Eleventh and Wood
streets. Bev. G. W. Smiley, D. D;, is the pastor of
the congregation. The Third, or Central 'Church
was organized last May, as. another representative
In this olty of the Congregationalism of our Pilgrim
Forefathers and of the 'New Testament, with a
membership of thirty-eight. Since that time wor
ship has been regularly maintained in Concert
Hall, with fair audiences ;-a pastor has been In
stalled, a Sabbath sohcol has been started; and the
membership'.has nearly, doubled. Nearly sis hun
dred dollars have been contributed far foreign mis
sions ; a chapel tent has been purchased for the
Christian Commission, to be used this winter in the
Army of the Potomac, and named, in honor of the
pastor, “The Hawes Tabernacle,” at a cost of more
than five hundred dollars; and a Soldiers’ Aid So
ciety, auxiliary to the Christian Commbsion, is con
stantly contributing to the relief of the army, ,
Legacies to Chubobxb.— The wealth falling to
the Presbyterian ehurehes In Great Britain by last
wills is quite considerable at this period. The
English Presbyterian Synod reaelved for the en
dowment of Its oollege a legacy of-.£25,000 within
the year, and now It is announaed lu the Weekly
Review for Nov. 19th, that ’’the late Daniel Ro
bertson, Esq., for many years manager of the Na
tional-Provincial Bank of England, who died in
Edinburgh on the Othinst., has bequeathed a large
part ol his estate to the sustentation Fund of the
Pree Church of Scotland and -to the Synod
or the -Presbyterian Church in England.
His other legacies; . personal and public,
amount to £26,000, and he directs his execu
tors, after payment of these, and of all outstanding
claims upon his estate, to pay over the whole residue
of bis property to these two ecclesiastical bodies In
equal portions. It Is Impossible as yet to say what
the residue will amount to, but the sum will be a
handsome one, and will bear a large proportion to
the value of his whole estate. The lamented gen
tleman was a native of the parish of Monzlevalrd,
in the neighborhood of Crieff, and has left large
Bums to the parish schools of Monzlevalrd and Cau
vle, and to the poor of (nose parishes, and also to
the parish of Crieff. He has also been a liberal
benefactor of the Pree Church of Cray, In the Glen
shee, where he had recently acquired the small es
tate of Dalnaglar,”
A Cam a coup ted.—A unanimous call to the
Sastorate has been tendered to Bev. Martin F,
ones, of this city, by the united churches of East
Whltelandand Beesvfile, in Chester county. We
arc Informed that Mr. Jones has signified his Inten
tion to accept the call, and that he has already en
tered upon his work there. We congratulate those
churches on their acquisition, feeling that we have
the most ample reason for so doing.

The Alnmnl or the Seminary now number 64®.
Additions to Church Membership.— The
Fourth Presbyterian Church of this olty received
ten additions on profession, at their communion,
Deo. 18th, making between forty and fifty since the
Installation of the Bev. Mr. Bice as pastor.
‘“-Resignations.— The Bev. Robert Gamble has
resigned the charge of the Union Presbyterian
Church of this oltifc
The Rev, Walter S. Diysdale has resigned the
charge of the ohurch at May’s Handing, N. J., and
taken chaTge of the Young Cadies’ Seminary at
Bridgeton, N. J.
Rev. B. A. Carden has resigned the pastorship
of tho Church of the Intercessor of this city.
The Bev. J. McO. Holmes has resigned the
charge of Lee-avenue Reformed Dutch Church,
Brooklyn, owing to continued 111 health.
The Bev. Dr. Taylor, of the Strong-place Bap
tist Church, Brooklyn, has resigned his charge on
account of ill health.
The Rev. S. W, Maglll has resigned the charge
of tho Second Congregational Church, Waterbury,
Conn. He enters the service of the American Mis
sionaiy for the freedmen. :
Liberality or Converted Heathen.— At
Amoy the three hundred and ten native communl
oants of the Dutch Reformed Ohurch cast into the
Lord’s treasury, during the past year, at the rate
of notices than $2.25 per communicant. When It
Is considered that most of the members of the
church belong to the artisan and laboring classes,
and tbat such persons receive only front ten to fif
teen cents a day for work,'lt will be apparent that
they have acquired the grace of liberal giving. A
mis ionary writes: “I think It Isa mathematical
fact that If our home churches desire to keep pace
with their Chinese brethren In the exercise of the
grace of benevolence, they will be compelled to con
tribute twice, If not thrice, over what they have
been wont to contribute toward sustaining and sap*
porting abroad the Gospel.” .
Sunday-school Anniversary.— The twenty-
Bints anniversary of the Sunday schools attaohed
to tho Emmanuel (Episcopal) Church, Marlborough
street, above Girard avenue, or which Rev. J. Gor
don Maxwell is the pastor, will bo celebrated to
morrow morning, Tho schools have progressed very
favorably during the year just expired. A notice
able feature In connection with the anniversary will
be the present at ion'of missionary offetlngs, accom
panied by oilginal and .peculiarly-designed floral
emblems.
Pbaybb Book job thb Chinese.—The Boy.
Mr. Schereecbewsky, missionary of the Episcopal
Church, Is engaged, with Bey. Mr. Barden, in
making a translation of tbe Bible and Prayer Boob
into tbe higher colloquial or Mandarin language of
Cblna. This is tbe spoken language of tbe Conrt,
of all official persons, and of the better-educated

New Chubohes m Pams,—No fewer than six
cbnrobes are at tbe present moment In course of
erection In Paris—namely, at Montrouge, at Men!l
montant, on tbe Bonlevard des Invalldes, and the
cbnrobes of St. Augustine, tbe Trinity, and St.
Ambrose. .
Twß Christian Advocate and Journal publishes a
Summary of tbe several Conferences of the year
1884, by which it appears that the total membership
is 927,316, and adds: « an apparent In
crease of 8,*22 j there Is, however, an actual decrease
of about that number, as the two colored Confe
rences, -Delaware and Washington, which report
13,158 members, are mainly composed of societies
embraced In the returns of Baltimore, East -Balti
more and Philadelphia Conferences, which met in
the spring, before the organization of the colored
Conferences.” .
The Capacity ob some Ohtjbok Edifices An
English journal gives the capacity of some of the
principal churches of Europe. St. Peter’s, at Rome,
holds 54,000 persons; the Cathedral at Milan,
37,000; Str Paul’s, London, 25,000; St. Sonhla’s,
Constantinople, 23,£00; Notre Dame, Paris, 21,000;
the Cathedral at Pisa, 13,000; St. Mark’s,.Venice,
T,oco.
Fatheb Db Smet,— Among the foreigners who
are at present in Borne, Is the celebrated Belgian
Jesuit Missionary, Father de Smet, whose work
among the Indians in the Bocky Mountains has
been so successful. On seeing this venerable priest
come to his audience, Pius IX. extended his arms
to him and pressed him to his heart. Dp to June
lest, the total number of Indians baptized by him
amounted to 15,t00. -Before returning to Europe,
he had a long conversation with President Lincoln,
who granted him many favors for the missionaries
of his society, and consequently for the Indians
whom they have converted.
Religious Drama.— Last week Cardinal; Wise,
man’s drama of “The Bidden Gom”was performed
In the hall o! the Boston 'College, by youths of the
Church of the Immaoulate Conceptionthe object
being to raise money to purchase an organ for the
Sunday-school of that ohurch. Governor Andrew
and his famUy were among the audlenoe.
Proliiliitory Unties.
Bunt’s Merchants’ Magazine, for January, con
tains the following: .
Experience is revealing the. many crude and ab
surd provisions of the present tariff act, whereby the
revenue of the country is diminished rather than
increased. ■
Take the artioie of spool-cotton, for example. Sc
lectlng this article as one solely of foreign manu
facture,' our legislators have thought no duty too
high. The present specific and ad valorem, duties
amount to about sixty per cent, of the foreign cost,
and are so arranged that on a return to lower prices
lor raw cotton, they will amount to a tax or at least
seventyfive per cent.—one altogether prohibitory.
The protection incidentally given to a few New
England spinners, at the expense or the Batted
States revenue, Is enormous; the taxes paid by
them, in eurreney, being only one-tenth part of
those levied on the foreign spinners. .The internal
taxis five per cent. In currency, a tax which pro
duces from five to six cents per dozen at this time,
and which will not yield more than two and one
quarter cents a dozen at the ordinary prices of spool
cotton. The duty on foreign .thread ranges from
twenty-four to twenty-six cents per dozen, accord
ing to quality, and Is payable in gold- When gold
can be bought at a premium of 225, this is equal to
64® 600 per dozen In currency. Since the tariff act
went Into effeot, the fluctuations In the prtoo of
specie have made the duty, at times, equal to
seventy-four cents In currency, against an average
tax of six cents on the domestic article.
The consequence Is an enormous falling off In the
Imports, ana consequent specie revenue, raised
from duties on spool cotton, whloh for many years
has been upward of $300,000 in coin, at the port of
New York alone, and which, for the past two years,
has beeD $500,000 per annum. It Is absurd to sup.
pose that a domestic tax of only six cents per dozen
In'currency will make up this deficiency, even irthe
entire trade could be transferred- to New England.
Already the importations of this article have been
largely diminished under successive advances of
duty, and since Die last tariff act went Into effect
they have almost ceased. The great and sudden
reduction of imports for the current year cannot be
attributed to oxoesslve importations prior to the
passage of tbe act, since the imports of 1884 were
very nearly the same as those of the two preceding
years. The true explanation Is to be found in the
josses which foreign spinners are now suffering. In
their attempts to contend against these heavy odds,
whereby importation is stopped. The duty has
passed the point at which the article will yield
revenue.
The annexed tables are taken from the reports
published weekly by the New York Customs, and
are approximately correct, no offlaial statement of
the revenue from spool cotton being accessible. An.
regards tbe quantities Imported at the port of New
York, the figures me official, the dutyifor each year
<be!ng assessed according to the tadffaet then in,

dily at work, generally upon heavy goods. The market
is too uncertain to accumulate, leavy stock?, Although
labor Is plenty, and suitable material abundant. The
cost in making boots and shoes at present is but a trida
greater than one ytaraso.
