THE CHURCH IN GENEBAL, The English Wesleran congregations were fn- creased by the admission of 11,000 members last year. There now remain upsold 20,507 lots of church property, confiscated by the Italian Govern- ment. It s said that the State will obtain from the sale of this property as much as $250,000,- 000, The recent Synod of theIrish Church decided, by o vote of 103 clerical and 103 lay vetes, against cight clerical and four lay, to retain the Athanastan creed, but to discontinue its public usec. y The Rev. G. W. Custis, of Philadclphia, has received and accepted s call to the pastorate of the Michizan Avenuc Baptist Church, and is coon to enter upon his labors. Mr. Custis comes Tighly indorsed as an able preacher. 3 After o full debate, the Southern Presbyteri- an Assembly clccted delegates to the Presbyte- rian Alliance, which meets in Edinburg duly, 3877, Amon the delegutes arethe Rev. Drs. Stuart Robinson, Paliner, and Hoge, and Judges Ould, Estes, and Schenck. The sermon delivered by the Rev. James De- Koven, D. D., before the St. George’s Benevo- lent. Association of Chicago, in the Cathedral of 8. Peter and Paul, on.the first Sunday after Easter,—St. George’s Day,—1676, has been pub- {ished at the request of the Association, and {3 for salc by Mitchell & Hathaway, on State street. Price, 25 ceats. The_Young Men’s Christian® Association ot New York Citv is considering the propriety of starting a farm in the country as an auxiliary to its benevolent work in the Bowery. The men whom it fceds and lodges in that branch are glad to work and anxious to obtain it. Last Year this branch lodged 10,713 persons, gave away 50,714 meals, and found emplyment for 1,631 men. The Synod of the Moravian Church, recently in session at Nazareth, Penn.,voted to revive class-meetings, which. it sccm&shsve tgr:\duhlly died out. is system of Christian fellowship was appropriated from the Moravians by Wes- ley, and is_recognized as a distinctive Method- ist institution. 'The question of reducing the representation in the Synod was referred to o Commission_to be reported upon at the next mecting of the Synod in 1879. Py Anew sect, called the Eclectic Church, is eatl to have epruvz up fn Towa, under the Jead of a Mr, Pickett. _The following are the princi- les of the new orzanization: “1.

Jesus Christ will never come to this world at some fature time. 5. Must have a visible head to the true Church of God. 6. Limited punish- ment in the future life.” The Rev. Dr. Tyng. Jr., who recently induced two female preachers to take part in the servi- ces of his churel, has taken another remarkable step in baptizing ninc of his converts by immer- sion. Ile went to a Baptist Church to perform this ceraony. The converts meeled, and were fmmorsed face forward. We notice that the Taptist papers arc rejoicing over this incident. The Episcopal Church allows great Iatitude to its clery in tauy respects; aud the Rev. Dr. Tyng, Jr., takes more advantage of its Jiberality than is usual among his brathren. The old discussion on music came up again in the United Presbyterion Assembly in Philadel- phia, aud, as usual, produced much inharmoni- ousness. The_question is as to sioging exciu- sively the version of the Psalms known as that of Rouse, Some of tue brethren, principally the older oncs, arc_devotedly attached to these rugzed rhymes, while the” younger brethren {hiak that “Rouse_ought to have buen soundly punished for making thém. The odd thing Poout it is that the adherents of these particu- lar versifications consider them divinely inspired, and regard the singing of any othier devotional Iyrics as ositively swful. “Between the two artics, who are both strongly set in their opinjons, the controversy will probably continue without arriving at a conclusion until all the old men die, or all the younger oncs are forced into some less narrow-minded communion. Concerning the large Northern Presbyterian churches, DE Monfort, writig to his Herald and resbyter, says that Dr. Talitiage’s Tabernacle, Brooklym, has _over 1,200 communicants. It is now, perhiaps, the largest in our copnection, ex- pt Lafayette Avcuue Church (Dr. Cuyler’s), which had 1,533, sccording to the statistics of 1875. Since then Dr. Talmage las liad a Jurge increase.

Watts, who wrote the hymas which are sung in so many of our churches, now bas a monu- ment erceted to his memory at Southampton, England. It is mot an equestrian statue, for Jepac Watts is not known to have been noted as 4 horseman; nor yev is it a stone image of the hymnologist, sitiing with a hymn-book in each gnnd; but itis a_set of school-buildings, which cost about £30,000 ‘This is & noble mon- ument, and its epirit s worthy of imitation.

Dr. Cridge, ex-Dean of the Cathedral of Vic- toria, will be conseerated a Bishop of the Re- formed Episcopal Church ut the General Coun- «il to meet in Ottawa, July 1. It is stated as probable that the Rev. Phillips Brooks, of Boston, will be tried by an ecelesius- tical tribunal for taking part in a marriage service with Bishop Nichiolson, of the Reforméd Episcopal Church. Bishop_Stevens, the Protestant Episcopal Bishop of Pennsylvania, hus issued a circular to the clergy and Inity of his Diocese, requesting them to take a special collection in the churches on the Sundoy preceding the Fourth of July, as 2 Centennial thank-offering. The money "will go to the Board of Missions. George Williams, founder of the Young Men's Christian Association, has arrived in tlngs coun- try on his way to Toronto, where heis to open the discussion of one of the topics at the Inter- national Conventlon, which begins July 12. Mr. Williams, when a young man beginning business life in London, showed not only talent as a mer- chiant, but exerted so greatan influence upon his fellow-clerks that a small band of Christians £oon met for prayer in bis storc. Afterwards, in 184, he organized the first Young Men’s Christian Assoclation, at 72 St. Paul’s Church- yard. In 1851 twenty similar societics hud heen organized in ns many citics of the United King- dom, when the idea and plan of the Association were brought to this country, and societics formed in Boston and Montreal. © The Assotia- tion in New York was organized in 1852, Mr. Williams is at. present Treasurer of the London Associstion.

New Yorg, June8.—Thousands of persons have heard at various times of exhibitions of teducated fleas,” but probably very few in this country have ever scen them.

'This is an extraordinary wn{sui celes brating American deliverance from British tyran- oy ONE OF THE PECULIARITIES. 1t has been reserved to New York to adopt a system by which a young offender with Protest- ant parents is stigmatized us & felon, while if the parents happen to be good Roman Catholics he is exempted from the stain in guestion. The way this is doue illustrates one of the peculiari- tiesof New York, and which, if there fs any merit in it, should be fmitated. Thereis a Taw in force (passed by our model Democratie legis- lators) that if a boy or girl be arrested on- 3 criminal charge whose parents are Catholics, the offender_upon conviction shall be sent to the Roman Catholic Protectory, in West Ches- ter County, which is a_sort of reform schaol supported by the city. If the offender’s parents are not Catholics, then he or she is sent to the Asylum for Juvenile Delinquents on Randsll’s istand. A boy or girl who goes to the island is marked as a criminal, and hence the discrimina- tion Is unjust to children of Protestant or Jew- ish parents. SURPRISE OF THE CRITICS. One of the greatest musleal surprises which this city has known for many years occurred at the Academy of Music on Monday evening last. An upknown prima donna was annonnced to make her debut, supported by & company of amateurs, and the critics assembled in force to give her a quictus a la Anna Dickinson. The debutante was Miss Gertrude Corbett, a young lady known only to a sclect circle as the posses- sor of & rare voice, finc presence, «ud the requi- site sclf-possession for almost m‘}' emergency. She selected the diflicult vole of Norma for her fivst uppearance, and the erities rather scoute: ber preswnption at the outset. They were sim®= ply surpriscd at her success. She sang the part {ith tht grace and vigor of o Titiens. The Casta Diva, which i3 one of the: most trying arias in the whole range of ltalian opera, was given with grand effect. Every motc was ren: ered with superb success, and"the audience carried away with delight, The critics gracefully ac- knowledge their dis-’lp%oinmmnf. No such de- ided suceess has cver been heard of in opera in this city. 1t is duc to Miss Corbett to say that nonc of the tricks and artifices used to sccure the favor of crities in advance were cmployed on this occasion. 1t was a genuine surprisc, and they all felt it. d A MODEL LANDLADY. The fashionable boarding-house keepers of this city constitute adistinct class by themselves. With a few exceptions, they are s well dressed as any ‘women who promenade the avenue. They wear-the best silks, the most recherche bonnets, most expensive boots, snd affect vari- ous estrayagunces which hardly comport with the hord times that surround their callfug. Some of them are veritable vixens, and either support lazy busbands or keep boarders merely to obtain money Wwith which to dress extrava- gantly. Occasionally onc of these characters appears before the publlc in ap unenviable light. Such an one is a cértain Mrs. Bishop, who Is the Taudlady of a fashionable boarding-house No. 15 West Twenty-sixth strect. She ordered 2 handsome slls dress at the Broadway dressmak- ing establishment of Madame Dural. When thio dress was sent home Mrs, Bishop said it was not made properly, and sbused the dressmaker shamefully. The shop-girl said she would take it back and_bave it altered. The Bishop de- clined to allow ansthing of the kind, and when the girl_insisted, the model Iandlady became curaged be{‘ond ‘description. She Iel) npon the poor gir) like a wild beast, tore the dress Rer measp with grest foree and locked it up in acloset. The next scene was in a Police Court, where the savage dame assumed a lamblike de- Tmeanor snd agreed to pay all the damages. SOME QF THE ADVANTAGES OF EARLY MAR- RIAGES. Another illustration of the folly of early mar- riages is given in u divoree suit recently com- menced by Sidney P. Havens, sonof a wealthy resident of Southampton, L. L, near this city, against Helen Havens. The lady was married when she was 15 years old. She charges that three years after, though she was then oaly 18, her husband, commenced a course of brutality which kept her fn constant terror for her life, and, having robbed her of a considerable sum ol money belongiag 10 her separate estate, hie com~ pelled her to perform ial service for herown support. To cap the climax, he introduced anotlier womau fnto their houschold, with whom he was 8o shockingly familfar that she was com- pelled to quit the nouse. She accases him of 1ntidelity to his marriage vows. The husband makes d counter claim that his wife was guilty of criminal intfmaey with snotber man, and, since her scparation, bas been Hying in ogen Sdultery with one Webl at New Suffolk. The Womau elaims that hermarriageat 15 was illegal, and sheislemally free from beralleged husbandat this time. The Court, on hearingthe preliminary proofs, awarded her an amount sufficient for counsel fees. The details of the vase, as pre~ sented, reveal 2 disgusting: dlsr%;nrd of marital Yows on both sides. So much for maryisg young. AN ENGLISH PREACHER SEEING THE LIONS. 1t was a happy thought on the part of Dr. H. M. Scudder’s congregation when they allowed their pastor four monghs® leave of absence to visit Europe, that they opened negotiations for bringing over a fisst<lass English minister to supply the pulpit during bis vacation. Anar- rangement was made by which thay secured the gervices of the Rev. William Braden, an accom- plished clergymen of the Congregational de- nomination from London, and editor of 2 Con- gregational weekly In that city. Mr. Braden wanted to visit Americs, and availed bimself of the opportunity thus gziven. He ‘preaches every Sabbath morning and cvening, and daring the week mokes flyinz trips to points of interest which he can visit and return te the dlfl in time for the Sabbath-day scrvices,—thus he has visit- ¢d Washington, Richmond, Baltimore, the Cen- tennial, Boston, Portland, Nuw?n. and is now off for’ Montreal and Niagara Falls. Heis an ardent admirer of this country, and ina ublic speech he said he hoped the little difiiculty Which ocenrred between his own country and this 100 years ago, would have the same effect that the Irishman desired when asked why he tried to whip his son: * Why, to make him a b&llw(r:'mnn than hi: la.lthl.:r.’d Ar. Hgldcn will visit Chicago very shortly, and _your Co a- T i 2 warin-hbarted and 3010 man, whom they, will esteem and admire greatly. - PUTTING THE BEST FOOT FORWARD. If any of your Jady readers argdemulous of Mrs. Secretary Belknap's small feet, et them come to this city and discover a trick or two in that line which may open their eyes it it does not decrease the actual size of thetr feet. This trick has been adopted by several of the fash- jonable shoestores, snd copsists in” numbering ladies’ shoes and gaiters at least two full sizes below the old-fashioned standard. Nowadays & lady who has for years worn “{hrees” may wear *twos ” with ease, and if you doubt it she will show you the number fairly stamped umn the shoe. If she used to wear three-and-a-balf now she takes two-and-s-balf, and so on. Thea thereare other designations, full, alim, medium, etc., whick subdivide the numbers, In conver- ation with the proprietor of one of the prom- inent stores on Broudway, he frankly admitted that it was a trick of the trade, but insisted that it was for the good of his customers, becanse women will wear small shoes at the risk of dis- comfort and torture for the sake of avoldin proper, sizes.

You will notice that Theodore Thomas has resumed the baton in Philadelphia, notwith- standingall the talk of his financial failurein the Centennial City and his early reappearance in New York. The fact is, that'that there is no place for him here. His old garden, near Cen- tral Park, is monopolized by a cheaper band, and crowded with a becr-drinking (and hence more profitable) crowd nightly. Gilmore has his Hippodrome concerts under full headway, and is tickling the popular cor with popular music. ‘Thomas came here last week, but could Ecn 10 encouragement, while the Efidu of Phila~ ered him in- ducements to remain.
