The House of Bishops of the Episeopsl Church in session at New York adjourned Friday, Oct. 80. The principal business transacted was tho election of Dr. Schereschewsky, Bishop of Chins, and the Rev. William H. Clarke, of Augusts, Ga., a3 Bishop of Africa, Samuel I. J. Bcheres- chewsky, D. 1., the Bishop-elect to Chins, isa pative of Poland, and was onginslly a Jew. He is about 45 years old. He came to this country a litils more than twenfy years 8go, to enjoy ed- uoational advantages with the intentions of be- coming & Haptist minister, he having been con- verted 10 that faith 2t bome. _While in Pitts- burg he became acguainted with Dr, Lyman, the Assistant Bishop of Central Pennsylvania, and the juaintance ultimately led to his con- mection with the Episcopal Charch. He was gradusted at the General Seminary on T'wen- tieth street, in 1860, and, filled with zeal 1ar foreign missionary woik, went to Chiua soon after. Chioa he haa rema:ned up to the pres- ent time, and, in addition to the regular work of the mission, bas tianslated the Bible into the Mandarin tongue. The Episcopal mission in China has been established sbout forty years, and there have been two Bishops_sppointed to the field from the United States. Bishop Boons, who died in 1855, was the first, and Bishop Will- iams was appointed to fill the vacancy, and has since continued in charge of the whole mission. Last year it was decided to divide the field, sod Bishop Williams was assigned to the Empire of Japap, with headquarters st Jeddo. The new Bishop is 1o have headquarters at Shaughai aod his fiai’d i8 to be called the Chinese mission. It is stated tbat Dr. Schereschewaky's translation will enable the Episcopsl mission to put the RBibls into the hends of 160,000,000 persons. Dr. Bobereschewaky will ba_consecrated as soon as suble, sod wul immediately thereafter sail for E‘I’zim to begin bis work. 3 . Mr. Clarke, Hishop-elect of Africa, {8 & native of Now England, is the son of a clergyman of the Episcopal Church, and is about 50 years of age. was ted at Yale Coliege, and at the Genaral Theological Beminary m New York City. An early poruon of his minietry was epent in edncationsl work 1 Maryland and elsewbers, but most of his minietry of upwaras. of twenty- five years has been in the Bouth. e is now the Rector of St.Paul's Church, Augusts, Ga. It 'was at first proposed to send a colored Bishop to Africa, but the 1dea was given up, on the ground that a white man could better influence the local Goveroments which are now i & state of war. ‘The Houase of Bichops gave some attention to the question of sending a Bishop to Mexico. The reformation has been progressing for about twelve years, under the direction of Dr. Riley, and bas sseumed an important movement in the Caties of Mexico and Sants Cruz, and elsewhere. The Episcapal Church of Mexico asks the United Suwstes Honse of Bishops to give them an inde- pendent arganization, and to consecrate to the Mexican Church a native Blshop. The House <t Bishops declines to do this at present.

THE BILE IN TEE SCHOGLS. Jo the Editor of The Chicaco Tribune : Cmcaco, Nov. 6.—Pardon me for trespsssing upon your epsce, but in the name of outraged bumanity I beg leave to make some remarks respecting the withdrawal of the Bible from our public schocle. Are we, a Christian community, quistly to submit to so dastardly sn ontrage, gimply becsuse a set of Catholics and infidels op- pose sending their children to schoal where it ia read? No! Were wein a country where the Catholic religion is predominant, then we conld ase a fit reason why we ehould snbmit, but here, where Protestantism is far in the majority and Catholicism in the minority, it is simply shame- {ul to think of such a thing. I bave heardit it Catholica are opposed to paying taxes to support the Bibles used In the schools, but to the bes of my snowledge they do not pay taxes for their support, it being the acholars ‘hat provide them. But even grani that the “Jatholics pay taxes to suppart them; have we l not to pay taxes for vanous thinge in which #8do not beliave? 1t is perfectly natgral that ba Oatholic doee nob wish bis child to read & Protestant Bibl a8 pefora stated, were fhe | 'Onvhuli‘:-a ipi’uia‘m‘:;%rity?ud we 1 the minority, | ibs then conid we s0e a fif reseon for' submuttiog. Of course, the Catholic is taxed to support the publjo schools, but if he does pot prefer sondiag his child there, then let him send it to s con- vent, private school, or any other place he chooees. We certainly should see the necesuity for prompt action betore this tining has advanced toc Tar. ‘Could they takxe the Dibio out of ihe schoqls of England? 1t woulaw’t be as casy a mateer as here.

METHODIST REFOEN. To the Editor of The Chicago Iribune: Onicaco, Nov. 4,—Would it notbe an excel- lent thing should the animated discussion uow going on in the Methodist Church, with refor- ence to the Presiding Eldership, turn upon the subject of reform in the direction of ita publica- tion affairs 2. 1 bave been led 30 think thata conoern organized for the parpose of diffusing & religions lrl.foxamra ought not to place the price of its prodactsso far above the means of the peo- pleitnominally eeeka 1o benetit 8 to render their purchasing of it a matter wholly out of the ques- tion. **Will man rob God#” Yes, sometimes. METHODIST. ——— RELICIOUS MISCELLANY. THX CHURCH I¥ GENERAL. The Indian Commiesion of ths Protestant Episcopal Church is $10,000 in debt. The re- ceipts of the Commission have been larger this year than last year, 1ts indebetedness has been caused by the growth of its work. A Capadian journal makes the remariable sug- gestion that the groand in which Guibord's body is to be burisd be cursed only to the depth of 4 feet, because the new grave will be made direct ly over that of Mme, Guibord, wha was & ** good Catholic.” i A New York rabbi says that he has rently per- formed tne rite of circumeision on thirty-sight Cbristian adults who have desired to be admit- ted to membership in the Jewish Church. Dut adds that a rich bride was the cause of each of these conversions. Bixteen Presbyterian Presbyteries have voted in favor of Synmiiul representation in the Gen- | eral Asgemblies, and seven for the gld methdd of delegates {rom the Presbyteries. The six- teen Presbyteries contain 524 ministers and 58, - 988 members, and the seven bave 184 mimsters and 24,009 members. The Sunday statute of Vermont provides that ** no persou shall travel on Sunday except from uecessity or charity.” And the Supreme Court of the State has accordingly decided thst ** oge traveliug upon the Sabbath without excuse can- not maintain an action agaiust a town for any damsge he may suffer through defects in its highways.” TheSunday-8chool Convention of Cook County will be held in Farwell Hall, opening Thursday evening next, at 7:30, and continuing through Friday and Saturday. On Thursday evening, E. Payson Porter will deliver an sddress on ** Our Field.” followed by the Rev. Samuel Fallows, D. D., and otbers. On Friday reports will be heard in the morning and addreeses will be deliversd 1n the afternoon by Prof. Swing and others. On Friaay evening B. F. Jacobs, Dr. O. H. Tiffany, and others will speak, The Golden Rule, the Rev. W. H. H. Murray's new_journal, Iast week printed aremarkahle specimen of pulpit plagiarism in extracts from tuo sermons—one preached by Mr. Murray in rark street in 1871, and published in Osgood's edition of his sermons, and the other preached in the Isle of Wight by an English vicar July 27, 1873, upon the death of the Bishop of Win- chester. The two are essentially the same thing,. and the differendes are less than & man would be Likely to make in copying eut or repeating his own words. The discussion on disendowing the Church of Engiand bas broogbt out the curious fact that the Archbishops aud Bishops, in their corporate capacity a8 members of she Ecclesiastical Com- mission, are perhaps the largest owners of gin- shops in London. Indeed, so well 18 this fact known among the working classes that they are 1n the habit of pointing, as typical of the Estab- lishment, to & Church of Eugland, on the right hand zide of the way pear Albert Gate, having a sin»pflm on each mide of it, bailt up side by side in & row, the place of worshipand the giu- shops being all charch property. Itis stated that the Birbop of London, wheu he leaves his house n 8t. James’ Square and rides fo his palace at Fulham. passes on his road more than 100 gin-stores built on land belonging to the Church. At the Twentv-gixth sonual meeting of the American Bible Union, held in New York, the Rev. Thomas Anwitage. D. D., President for nioeteen yearg, resigned, owing to press of pas- toral work. Resolutions of regret were passed, and the Hev. A. C. Osborne was elected in hia etead. The regott of the Treasurer for the year showed £3,890.88 paid out for revision of the English Scnipture, £6772.23 for publication and distribution, and §7,767.85 for salaries and ex- penses of officers, agents, and clerks. 'The total expenses of the year are given at $22,622.51, and the present Liabilities at §10,927.15. To off- set thie sum neaily $25,000 bas been raised within the last few days. The assets of the Society are given at about $170,000, but most of the property is of such value to the ULion in the prosecution of its business a8 to render it unavailable for the extinguishment of the debt. BOSTON SEEPTICISIL ‘The Rev. James Cook preached on Monday of 1ast week in the vestry of Tremont Temple on * Boston Skeptical Cliques.” He traced Boston freethinking back to the old-fashioned Armini- anism, which eo disparaged pure theology and set up secular culture and ;;aniciou tn ite place as to open the wav for the inroads of French infidelity and to lead the churches into new lat- itude. ** Out of the combination of causes in- cluded in Armunianism the half-way covenant, the disturbances of the French War apd the Revolution, French infidelity and the popular migcouceptions of scholarly orthodox doctrines and some crude aud rash statements in ortho- doxy itself, came Ubitarianisni Out of Unitarianism sod the brillancy of its early literary and social successes came Harvard University in ita largely unevangelical attitude. Out of Harvard University came the occesional skejtical or doctrinally indifferent literary circles of Eastern Massachusetta. Qut.of these circlgs came the influences which set a part, althongn only a part, of the Boston fashion of thought.” Mr. Oook assertod thst the tide had turned, ang that in the “‘expemonce of hslf a century—s period long enough to constitute a far test of the tendencies of thought, and exhbiting the results of nomorely temporar sywivel of opinion —evangelical churches bad arisen from the pro- portion of one to ten thousand to that of one to tour thousand, and the unevaugelical of afl kinds had fallen off from the proportion of one to three thousand to one in six thousand.” The report is taken from the Boston Advertiser, and Doston should decide npon the correctness of Mr, Cook's statements, Much depends upon under- standing whether he is spesking of tha old his- torical Boston, or the new city with its annexed towns.

THE QUATER-CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. The Cosmopolite is & journal t of the Michaal Angelo Fes- tival at Fiorence, which extended over nearly s whole week, from Saturday, Sept. 11, to the 18th. The first dsy was accupied principslly with the transportation of the remains of the distiogaish- ed Italian historian and politician, Carlo Botta, to the Church of Sants Croce, an imposing mili- tary .funeral, and g lecture in the evening by Bigoor Tarufli npon ** Michael Angelo asa Poat,™ before a crowded sudience at the Philological Circle. The next day, Sunday, was one of the great days. In the morning there was & sort of iu- dustrial exhibition and agricultural fair in a hall in the Cascine (the public park), which was vis- ited and addressed by the dignitaries, the Princo of Cariguano, the DMiointers, the Prefect, eto. A congress of architects and enginears followed at 1 o'clock, and at the same time a grand concert was given by the orches- tral and choral societies of Florence in the *+Salone dei Cinquecento,” in which among oth- ¢r things were reproduced two madrigals of Michael Angelo's composition set to music by contemporary musicians and published in Ven- ice in 1565." The grand procession followed, and the firat halt was made at the Buonarotti Palace, where the bronze statue of Michael Angelo was unveiled, a copy by Prof Papi from that in the National Mueeum, and 2 discourse wes pro- nounced. The march was then continued to the Oburch of Sants Oroce, where the CROWNS GENT BY DIFFERENT NATIONS to be placed upon the tomb of Ajchael Angelo were presented, five in number, one of silver oak leaves senf by the Goetbe Academy of Bcience and Fioe Ar's from Frankfort, one from Vienns, ane from Copenhagen,. ete. The Marquis Pelli-Fabbroni, the director of 8anta Croce Church, stated thats century ago the body of the great sculptor waa in a perfect state of preservation, but that when, 8 a custodian of the Church, he inspected the tamb a few yeara 8go, a light dust only remained, hardly preserving the form of a body. ‘The cortege then proceeded up to the “‘ Piaz- zale Michelangelo,” where a_brilliant maltitude, hfinil.ing the time with music and refreshments, had long been awaiting them. A bronze capy of the **David " has been erocted in the midd"e of the piazza, of which no particular description has reached here, but it appears from a photo- graph that the base is decorated (if that word may be used) with copies of the figures from the Medicis’ tomb, forming altogether a wonderful- ly-beautifol and imposing group of statbary. Addresge were than délivered by Prof. Pa ucci, the minister of Spavents, the French art- ist Meiesonier, Charles Blanc, of the Freuch In- stitute, and Bignors Conti, of Porfoguaro, and Paschidi, of Greece. THE FRENCH ORATODS are the best known in his country, and from the reports of the speeches they must bave bean such 88 ought to be published in permanent form for the use of art-atudents everywhere. Meissonier spoke like a poot ratber than artist, Tapturonsly, enthusiastically, first of Michael Angelo, his frescoes in the Bistine Chapel, his Pensieraso, aud then of Florencs, city of the renaissance, of lotters, science, art, and mother of Dante, Petrarch, Galileo, and Alichael Angelo. This was his conclusion: * Italy, which as Frenchmen we all love, be happy and prosper- oug! Florence, which ag artists we all worship, be happy and prosperous! Accept this praysr of Frenchmen wha come to shout with your children : Hurrah for the immortal Aliochael Angelo ! " Charles Blanc is a brother of Louis Blanc, was formerly in charge of the Government galleries in Paris, is & high authority in fine art, and best known here as the atithor of the ‘* Grammar of Painting,” the trauslation of which by rs, Dog- get; is perhaps Chicago’s most_valuable contri- ution to the literature of art. In the account from which these notes sre principally taken there is some confusion in the names, and it is not made clear which of the brothers Blana de- livered the aration, but no doubt it was Charles, a4 the accasion was arsistic rathar than political. After claiming Michael Angelo 88 a cosmopolitan, belonging nomore to Florenca than Alexander to Macedonia, he drew from the life of the sculp- tor s variety of lossone,—independence, sim- plicity, justice! He remarked also the incalog- lable advautage derived by a country from the possession of works h%: Michael Angelo, Leon- ardo da Vinci, Titian, Raphael, or Corregwio, and then referred to the rosition of Florence. When Florence was called Athens, she saw Phidias bora ; wheu Athons was called Flarence, ehe bore Michael Angelo,” he observed, ingen- iously, summing up ali ancient art in the wark of Phidias, and all modern ig that of Michael An- gelo. ‘‘But his sirange soul,” he remarked, “was at once proud and intimidsted in the presence of Pontiffs, and a prey to the terrors of Christianity, o that, by a straoge combina- .tion, expression, with Michaal Angelo, waa al- ways the manifestation of two contrary senti- ‘ments, pride and terror. He was alsonatural and superhuman, true and grandiose; thus, before the prophets, astonishment becomes astonished, a8 Vagari sass, *gi meraviglia o stupore,’ to s¢e that these sypernatural personages, the like of whom i8 never seen, are still full of truth and Kfa; that they seom stamped from nature, but io a region much higher than ours.” The discourse of Signor Santo Conti, from Partpgusro, began with a, fioe peroration to Florence, *“‘tho glorions mother, who taught Dante to become a poet, Giotto to paint, Brupel- laschi to he an architect, Vinci and Michael Angelo to be paioters, eculptors, and architects, Galileo to divine the firmament. Macchiavell tc meditate, Savonarola to speak, Pier Capponi to reply, and Ferrugcio to die!” ‘Thia day’s ceremonies were concluded by a re- ception as the Prefect’s anda banquet of typo- graphical composers. ~ Monday . AN EXHIBITION OF THE WORKS OF MICHAEL ANGELO was thrown open at the Academy of Fine Arts, to which the original sgatue of David has been removed. This collection wnctuded, in originals or copies, a Iarge proportion of the famons as well as the less-known works of the great artist, —statues, paintings, models, sketches, and de- signg,—a grand and -remarkable display. The evening again was occapied with a variety of entertainments, balls, aod concerts at the Bor- ghese Casino. the Pitti Palace, ete. Tuesday there were moro assemblies and more addresses by distinguished and venerable men,—amang them thae soulptor Dupre,—a visft to the honge of Dante, and in the evening the principal fetes closed with & grand illumination of the city, wiich is described with eathusiasm by all who saw it. The surrounding country, even the peaks of the mouutains, were illumi- nated. Later in the week there were banquets to artiats, exourtions, and musical entertainments ; and altog ether & colebration woithy of its great occasion. RS WATER-COLORS. THE PICTURES AT 7HS EXPOSITION. The opening of the Dealers’ Exhibition of pic- tures at the Exposition Building Wedneedsy eveniog was slendesly attended, notwithstand- ing the isauing of a large number of invitations. The repletion of the markes, which has been overstocked with pictures for the last six months, combined with tbreatening weather, is no doubt accountable for this result. The pro- portion of inferior pictures, especially among the conspicuons ones, in the gallery, ia too great to allow a fine general effect, and the discrimi- nating vigitor is put to some pains.to pick out those which are worthy of attention. ‘Chere are, however, interesting picturea scattered throngh the collection in numbers great enough to give & considerable savor of excellence, to moat of which allusion w2s made in the notice of Thaurs- day. Some of the best-known names of Itahsn, French, and German artists ropresentsd by oil- paintings are Zamacois, Bomsko, Pasini, Van- tier, Lupre, Luminais, Lefebvres, Hetzel, Ziem, and Diaz. THE WATER-COLORS, though few in number—not more than twenty in all—are of uniform excellence, and interesting in A variety of ways. 3r. Hazeltine has contrib- uted to the solation of the question of mounting water-colors,—the discussions about the rela- tive vittues of white and tinted mate, deep and shallow panels, plain paper and “ torchon " pa- ver,—by simpiy framing his pictures, o and water-colors, all alike. . There are 0o white mar- gins 20d no panels, simply solid giit frames. This, though occasionally ventured upon in pic- tures of exceptional weight of color, a8 in the wood-ipterior of Tiffauy exhibited hers las 8priog, is an experiment that has not been widely tried; and thera has been almost univer- 8ol consent among water<color artists to the wide white margios, to which admirers of water- colors have becoma attached by ssaociation, 1f nothing eise. Mr. Hazeltine's argumeant is mim- ple and direct, The highest lights in & picture are the pure whites. The sparingly- used high lights are smong the most valuable points of a good picture. The effect of a8 wide white margin 18 to desuroy the lights and 80 tske out the ‘*simosphere.” " It muat be ad- mitted that the resuit seems to justify the judg- ment, at least 80 far as the present pictures ars concerned ; nor are they especially favorable to this sreatment, being almost ali pure aquarelles, —that s, pictures painted with transparent washes of color io the distinctive manner of water-color, as opposed to the late Englsh style, which embloys opaque, solid color, almost in the manner of oils. One advaniage of the closs framing is, that it allows water-color pictures to be hucg with oils without damage to eisher. No doubt the white margius will always be retained for sketches and hightly-tinied dramings. There are fiva pictures of . THE ROMAN SCHOOL, the principal one by Zamacois, and the rest by Boucherelli and Guiterez, all figures,—such sub- jects as a woman with a red jacket and a green 8kirt leaning against a stoce wall, or a eouple of cavaliers in indolent attitudes talking with each other, sod they all have the strong Roman stamp, brillisncy, boldness, and effectiveness, a sketchy, professional style which, with the no- famliar subjects, is apt to savor to us more of the studio &han of natare. They are, however, always purg water-colors, with the lighta ‘‘left out” and not put on sfterwards, and for meth- oii:‘ol sketohing the Romans are good exem- plars. OF FRENCR WATER-COLORS thera are but two, one of Jules Daprs, g scene on the coast of France (No. 272), dated as far back as 1830, a pictura pointed, ont last spring as an example of the perfection with which well- painted water-cofors will retan therr brilliancy through lapse of time. The other i3 by Craev- soger, a ** Flemish Interior” (Na. 273), and ia s fine specimen of excellent, copscientions work. 1t is a small picture with several fignres, & man filling his pipe, a woman reading a book, some children. and s kitten. The light;comes in plsas- satly at the ~indow, and illuminates the whole Toom, every part of whinh is carefully painted, and is reflected from every one of the row of bright, clean, blue plates set slong the mantel. When it comes to paioting the human figure with accessories, draper, or other objects, the French artists lead the world. American water-coloriats are represented, be- aides & sather faulty landscape of Wilson, only by two lictle marine pictures of Rehn, of Phila- delpbia—the **Beach at Atlantic City™ (favorite of paioters), and **Out at Sea” (Noa. 253, 234), which closely resemble his oil paintings, and are good, sound’ studies from nature, carefully and decidedly done, and pleasing ia subject aod sen- timent. " 8o similarly does this artist work in water-colors and oils, that on comparing these pictures with Nos. 12 and 13, zimilar subjects, of sumilar size, it is difficult to distingwsh the ons medinm from the ether, though, on close exsm- ination, the quality of sky may perhaps be pro- nounced rather bettar in the water-colors. . THE RALF-DOZEN ENGLISE WATEE-COLORS are quite above the common, and several ot them by artists whose wWorks are rarely seen bere. Rowbotham’s long, low Italisn ecenes are familiar to everybody, but are Likeiy now to grow rarer, for the artisé has died within a few months, His two pictures here,quite similar in general effect, are unusually large and fine. Four pictures remam, by Prout, Jutsum, Taylor, and Herbert, who ate (or were) all mem- bers of the Royal Academy and of the Water- Color Society. “Ths name of Prout is famous in the anpals of water-color art through the woris of Bamuel Pront, who died ia 1862. He was celobrated for his representations of European architectural subjects, cathedrals, and streets, just such sabjects in fact aa the present pictare, which represents a greas churck and buaildings, ** Mouug St. Michael ” (No. 273), an examination of whichs convincing that the prespnt holder of the name, Skinner Prout, is not unworthy to bear it. In this pictare solid color is used to some extent, but rather sparingly, and the whaleeffect is imposing and fine. Herbert, who paioted the very agreeable and skiilful scene, * On the coast at Trouvitle ™ (No. 277), » brown flahing-toat beached an the sand, some fishermen, etc.,—is an example of posthu- mous success. He died in 1361. Daring his life be was very little known, and less appreciated, though after 1847 he exhibited in the Academy. Through a eingle friendly dealer he sold some pictures, but at low prices, and his income is said aever to bave heen more than £50 a year until the iast year of his Lifo when it amounted to abont £200. The present p:oture is valued at $400, and is as well worth its price as the other high-priced pictures. The manne view, *‘Of the English Coast,” (No. 278), by Chales Taylor, is n_fresh, breezy pioture, ‘and artistically treated. The warm brown sail of the principal haat, lighted up by the bright red and white fag, contiasts finely with the green, translucent color of the ses in the foreground, which, in_turn, runs off finely into the gloom of the cloudy distance, and the scene i8 enlivened Ly the various other boats, which indicate the proximity of part. The re- mainipg landscape, an *Old iill on the Thames™ (No. 276), is by an artist of high re- pute, now dead,” Henry Jursum. Jutsum be- came & member of the New Water-Color Bociety in 1843, and thers is no pioture in the present collection more distinctly marked than his with the peculisr technical ekill of an able water- colorist. The general effectof the picture is pocaliar, owing to the claracter of tha calors hioh the artiat has chosen, probably not pleas- ing to many speotators, but sistent adherence to a pure aquarille treatment, which is strictly incalcated by one branch of the water-color painters, makes it ad- mirsble in professional eyes, and to all eves it must possess & fine purity of calor ana effect of air which are both agreeable and like Nature. ‘The scens is & mill-pond coming into the tore- ground, trees agaiost the sky on oue side, and a mill and more trees oo the other. It 1a painied entirely in washes, applied with the utmost de- cislon, and the most perfect cootrol. The aky is laid in once for all snd left. The trees are iaid againat the kv, and all the little interstices among leaves and twigs are leftopen in a way which, éombined as it is with excellent and well- governed tones of color, i§ possible only to ex- perienced hands, The resuit is a pictare pos- gessing in a high degree some of the moas valus- ble, if not the most poptlar, qualities of water- color art as distinguished from o1}, RS Lr iy ODDS AND ENDS.
