WELL-PAID PASTORS. Large Salaries of Prominent New York Clergymen. The Financial Status of Their Various Parishes. The wealthiest single church organi zation on this side of the Atlantic is the Trinity corporation of the Protest ant Episcopal Church, New York city. It embraces old Trinity, at the head of Wall street, and eight parish chapels— S:. Paul's, St. John's, Trinity chapel, St. Augustine's, St. Cornelius's, Zion Church, Zion Chapel, and Trinity Church, Morrisania. To support these churches there are ample funds. . The income of tho corporation is between $750, 000 and SBOO, 000 a year. Yet this amount does not adequately repre sent the corporation's capital. A large portion of its lands were leased long ago, when property was not as valuable as at present. Tho leases wero to run ninety nine years. When they expire the in como of the Trinity corporation will be double what it is now. Dr. Morgan Dix is the rector of old Trinity, and exercises a general supervi sion over the parish chapels. His salary is $15,000 per annum. The assistant rector of the same church receives S6OOO, while the assistants who have chargo of the chapels receive S4OOO a year each, excepting Br. Swope of Trinity Chapel, who gets SBOOO. These are pretty high salaries, but the Episcopalians of Now York are renowned for generosity toward their pastors. Tho last rector of Si. Thomas's was paid SIB,OOO. Dr. Brown, who fills the pulpit at present, gets $15,000. Dr. Huntington of Grace Church, which Vice-President Morton attends when living in the city, has, perhaps, the most desirable parish of all. His salary is $15,000, and lie occupies a beautiful parsonage, rent free, next to his church, which, is architecturally one of the handsomest residences in tho city, and is certainly worth an extra SSOOO a year to the pastor. Another church that pays $19,000 to its rector is St. Bar tholomew's. Dr. Greet is the fortunate clergyman. He possesses private means, and returns his entire salary to his church. Dr. Rainsford of St. George's receives SIO,OOO a year. He also is possessed of a private fortune, and, like the rec tor of St. Bartholomew's, turns his salary over to his church. There are at least a dozen other Episcopal parishes in the metropolis which pay their rectors salaries ranging from S4OOO to SBOOO. per annum. The bishop of the diocese of New York is paid $15,000. In the Methodist Episcopal churches large salaries are not the general rule, but the ambitious minister can aspire to become one of the agents of the Book Concern established in the city or the secretary of one of the many branches of church work, or, for that matter, a Bishop. The Bi hop of New York re ceives $5)00. All the other Bishops receive $4500 annually, excepting the Bishops of Africa and India, who arc paid $-4000 and $3500 respectively. The agents of the Book Concern get SSOOO. The same sum is given to the various secretaries. Tho pastor of St. Paul son Fourth avenue, the largest Methodist church in the city, gets SSOOO and a large parsonage com fortably furnished to live in rent free. AH the Methodist churches furnish their pastors with resilenccs. The Madison Avenue Church also pays its pastor SSOOO. The Presbyterian pulpit in New York is filled by some of the ablest preachers in America. Dr. John Hall of the Fifth avenue church draws a salary of $2 ), 000. Dr. Paxtnn is said to receive SIO,OOO, Dr. Parkhuvst, S3OOO, and Dr. C. C. Thompson, SBOOO, while T. D ! Witt Talmageof the Brooklyn Tabep naele, whose influence is as great in New York as it is in Brooklyn, is paid $12,000. Apart from what thoy re ceive from their parishioners, Dr. John Hall makes a handsome sum each year by writing for tha New York Ledger, and Dr. Talmige is pud a salary for cditiug Fia.ik Leslie's Sundiy Maga zine. The Rev. R>bcrt Collyer of the Par!< Avenue Unitarian Church receives $lO,- 000. Dr. Win. M. Taylor of the Broadway Tabernacle, a Congregational organization, is supposed to llavo a like salary. But, putting all monetary considera tions asidu, tho reputation a clergyman of talent is certain to achievo in New York, and the opportunites for doing efficient work for the cause of religion and humanity are so many, that most clergymen regard it as a very desirable field of activity.— Neio York Epoch. The use of fine sawdust, which may be treated with medicaments or anti sept cs, has been proposed as a clean and comfortable dromng for wounds. Submarine Earthquakes. In the midst of the Atlantic there is a region of mystery. It lies on the lino of sailing from Maderia to BruziL Only within a few years has it been sounded, and its strange phenomena re ported. The author of ''The Cruise of the Falcon" contributes some interesting notes of observation. The sea about a mile from us became suddenly disturbed, boiling up violently, as from a subterraneous spring. This lasted for about two minutes. Through out the day we observed great patches of discolored water, having exactly the appearance of shoal water. These and similar phenomena are fre quently observed in this part of tho ocean. Often a ship reports that here abouts she has exparienced a violent shock, similar to that which is felt when a rock is struck. Sometimes a great rumbling is heard like that of a heavy chain running through the hawsepipes, and the vessel quivers like a leaf in tho wind. Another time, in smooth water, a vessel has been known to heel over suddenly, ns if she had run on a sand bank, for this is a region of most un canny apparitions for the mariner—a sort of haunted corner of the sea. Before this ocean had been as thoroughly sounded and surveyed as it is now, these phenomena were attrib uted to the presence of unmarked sand banks and rocky shoals, and the old charis were marked accordingty. But it must have astonished tho mariner somewhat to find that he got no sound ings with his deep-sea lead, immedi ately after experiencing one of these shocks. It is now known that there is a depth of not loss than two thousand fathoms throughout this neighborhood, and sub marine earthquake i are recognized to be tho true causo of these convulsions. So frequent are these manifestations of suboceanic disturbance, that this is now known as tho volciuic region of tho Atlantic. Fearful, indeed, must be tho forces that can transmit such vio lent action upward through three miles of water. A Frontier Fort. A fort on tho frontier is no fort at all, simply a collection of houses and barracks thrown down on the prairie anywhere, and hero soon begin to gather all tho elements of humanity which sooner or later goto make up tho typical Western town. A fort is usu ally laid out in diamond shape, with the officers' quarters occupying two sides of the angle, and the men's bar racks the remaining half. Tho center is tho parade ground, whereon r\re per formed all military ceremonies, such as drills, parades, musters, inspections, etc. In one corner is a flag stall, and from this floats 365 days in the year, the Stars and Stripc3 of our country. Back of the officers' and men's quarters are tho stables, warehouses, shops and stores. The commanding officer, of course, occupies the choicest sot of quarters in the garrison, and the other officers se lect their domiciles according to their rank. Suppose every sot of quarters happens to bo occupied and a new offi cer should come along to take station at tho post. He cannot select to tho prejudico of those abovo him. but ho can step in exactly whoro he ranks, choose a house, and that officer must give way to him. It is not uncommon for tho next one, who has "been bounced," so to speak, to take tho best he is entitled to, and tho result is all the junior officers go down like a row of bricks. Tho last in rank have to double up and share one hou« • or set of rooms between them. In my own ex perience, says a correspondent, I have seen seven families move in one da/, and all caused by an officer coming along who had more rank than they had. A Life in the Dark. A touching incident was that of Mrs. William Nichols, a brilliant and much admired lady of Bath Beach, who had been suffering for some time from an af fection of the eyes, says the Brooklyn Citizen. She was led to fear a speedy change for the worst, and immediately consulted her physician. An examina tion discovered a sudden and fatal fail ing in the optic nerve, and the informa tion was imparted as gently as possible that the patient could not retain hei sight more than a few days at most, and was liable to be totally deprived of it at any moment. The afflicted mothei quietly made such arrangements as would occur to ono about to commence so dark a journey of life, and tlion had her two children, attired in their bright est and sweetest costumes, brought be fore her, and so, with their little faces lifted to hers, and tears gathering for some great misfortune they hardly real ized, the light faded out of their moth er's eyes, leaving an ineffaceable picture of thoso dearest to her on earth—a memory of the brig'it faces that will consolo her in many a dark hour. SCIENTIFIC SCRAPS. i An English fish culturist has found that a six-pound eel contains about 9,000,000 eggs. Gen. Rosancrans, Register of the Treasury, has decided to introduce the ; use of electricity in his office ns a tao ! tive power to ruu the punching ma chines for cancelling the redeemed treasury notes. Measurements of a quarter of a mil ; lion of soldiers huve shown that malos do not reach adult ago until about 28, 1 and Professor Shaler's observations at J Harvard prove that full mental powct I is not reached before 25. The simple method of treating drunk enness practiced in Norway aud Sweden is reported to be very elTectivc. The inebriate is placed in confine meat and S fed only with bread soaked in wine, which in eight or ten days creutes a positive loathing for strong drink, i A German authority affirms that oaks are more frequently struck by lightning than beeches, because the leaves of the beech are covered with a fine down, ! which is a better conductor than the smooth leaves of the oak. Experiments with electrical machines confirm the theory. Dr. Dornil of Paris has discovered that ice is often a medium for transmit ting infectious diseases, and particular ly typhoid fever. He cautions people to use artificial ice, made from boiled or spring water, and condemns ice ob i taincd from ponds or rivers liable to contamination. The magnetic needle points in tho same direction as to the magnetic poles |in all parts of the earth. The magnetic ! poles do not correspond with the axis of the earth, which makes a variation ; of the needle at places not on a meri dian which coincides with both poles. The needle is never inverted, but dips as it approaches the magnetic poles. A substitute for whiskey as a remedy for rattlesnake bites has been discov ered. A man in Clinton County, Mo., was bitten on the leg by a rattler while ! in tho woods two miles from home a few days ago, wiped the blood oil with ! a leaf, aud taking a big cud of tobacco from his mouth bound it on tho wound with a piece of bark. After reaching I home he bathed his leg with ammonia, and has sulTered no ill offiect other than a slight swelling of the bitten spot. A Horse's Memory. "Say, friend, you'ro on my horse," said one gentleman to another as ha reined his horse before the door. I 'Your horse! Oh, no; why I bought this | horse two years ago!'' "You did?" answered the other; "well, I lost my horse—it was stolen—just two yoars ago." This conversation took place under | the far-spreading oaks of an old-time | plantation home. A planter was sur- I prised to seo his horso return home I after two years, and ridden by agentle ( man who evidently had bought tho horse in g>od faith. After somo con i versation the old owner of the horse, | with much earnestness, said: "Well, sir, if you will dismount, unsadd e the ; horse, and lie don't goto the fence, i take tho bars down, walk to the well, j and if ho don't fin 1 water in the bucket let it down the well, and then walk off | to liia old stablo, I willgivo up and that | horse isn't mine I" "At your word; the horse is yours if he does nil that,'' J cried the visitor, and leaping from the : horse, unsaddled it. What was hi) astonishment when tho horso went straight to the fence, lot down ths bars, crossed over, went to the well, and find ing no water let the bucket down and then, as though he had left homo but yesterday, walked to tho old stable! The animal remembered the trick and the owner recovered his horse. There are those living now who can attest to the truth of this story, though it hap pened years ago. Tiie People of Siain. Tho Siamese are very jovial and light hearted, aud greatly addicted to public shows as well as the gambling houses. They have their fill of spectacles when ever a member of the royal family dies. It cost $.">00,000 to duly cremato one ol the king's children a while ago. A special temple for the cremation services is built fur each defunct royal highness. The temple is a very gorgeous affair, but it is pulled down as soon as the royal clay is reduced to ashes. The ceremonies include processions, music, the king on his golden chair, an im mense display of royal banners and mourning, and all tho pomp and cir cumstance needed to impress the event deeply upon the people. Of course the nobles cannot afford funerals on such a lavish scale, but they spend all the money thuy can on them. The masses flock to sea tho show as our people do to a circus, while it will probably b# *Jie r own fate to be burned at the cost of a few cents, or flung to the vulturc.s and dogs.— New York Sun. Ancient Egyptian Flora. The National Museum of Egyptian An tiquities at Bulak contains a very inter esting collection of plants which have been found in the catacombs and sepul chral monuments of the country. Dr Schwcinfurth was the first to study this ancient flora, which contains no example of a plant that docs not grow to-day in the Nile Valley. Nor does the most minute examination show the least differ ence between the vegetation which flour ished fifty centuries ago and that of the i present time. In some cases the color of I the flowers can be clearly distinguished, as, for instance, the purple larkspur, the I red poppy, the reddish-brown saffron j and the blue lotus. The leaves of thd watemelon contain | grains of chlorophyll perfectly visible in the microscope. All theso were found | in great numbers in the burial places of j the fifteenth dynasty, 3000 years B. C., | and in one tomb of the same time some j ears of barley. Iu later monuments were discovered mustard, flax, cucumbers, lentils, pine cones, juniper berries, dates, hollyhocks, chrysanthemums, figs, olives, onions and grapes. Around the necks and upon the breasts of the mummies of 1100 15. C. were garlands of celery leaves and blue lotus flowers. In regard to the various specimens of grain dis covered, it may be added that no at tempt to make them grow has ever suc ceeded, the plants having been subjected to great heat at the time of the embalm ing and burial, which, while it preserved them, destroyed their germinating power. The cases in which mummy wheat is said to have been raised are due simply to the fraudulent mixture of modern with the ancient grains. 8100 Itewnrd. 8100.
