The Protestant pubd- lic generally look forward with great interest te the assembling of the Congress, which is to mees at Cooper Insticute, in tis city, om the 6th of next October, covtinuing its ses- sion for four or five days, The Com gress is the result of mature deliberation on the part of the General Conference of the Protestant Episcopal -Church, the members of which represent very diverse notions of tnougns witnin the limits of a true and admitted Church comprehbensiveness. The programme of the aub jects to be discussed at the session are of the highest importance and vitally affect the interests of the Episcopal Church in this country. On the first day, Tuesday, October 6, two papers will be read on the topic, ‘What Are the Limits of Legis lation as to the Doctrine of the Ritual?’ Severat eminent speakers wit! discuss the paper. In the evening of the same day the principal topic to be discussed will be ‘“Olerical Education.” Om Wednesday. October 7, the Congress will consider the “Relation of the Church to Other Christiam Bodies.” On Thursday, the 8th of October, the topic “In What Sense is Private Confession Per- missible in the Church?” will be discussed, and in the evening of the same day “The Mutual Christian Obligation of Capital and Labor? will be considered, The above is but @ mere summary of the programme of the work of the coming Congress, as arranged by the com- mittee having the matter m charge. They, (he committee, have been in correspondence with rep- resentative men within the Protestant Episcopat Church trom all quarters of the globe, and ex- press the hope that an honest effort in bringing together in Christian affection and charity breta- ren claiming @ common heritage would meet with acommon and hearty Welcome. The committee Say that so cordial indeed have been the responses from ail quarters and from the opponents of quite opposite—at least varied—opinions within the comprebenustveness of Church thought, that no question could remain as to the expediency of & Chureh Congress at the time and place chosen, or as to the imanner in which, as loyal Churchmen, entirely understanding, as they think, the true pro- prietie’ in the case, they have chosen to perfect their plans for such a mecting. Among the many distinguished gentlemen who have signified their intention of attending and participating in the peg ie of the Congress are Right Rev. S, 1. Bedell, D. D.;_ Rev. James De Koven, D. D,; John Cotton Smith, D. D.; Hugh Miller Thomp- son, D. D.; C. W. Andrews, D. D.; George A. Nor- ton, D. D.; Hon. Richard A. Dana, of Massachu- setts; Hon, Cortlandt Parker, of New Jersey, and John D. ralton, of Alabama. It is also expected that Rev. Messrs. T. Llewellyn Davies and Slopiord Brooke, of London, England, will attend. The rules of the lorthcoming Congress provide thas none but members of the Protestant Episcopal Church, or in communion with the same, snall address the Cungress, By vote of the Committe on the Congress the Bishop of the diocese in whick the Congress is held shall preside, but as the Bishop oJ New York has deciined this honor in ad- vance, the Bia, of the diocese of Alabama will be caliea to preside over the deliberations of the coming ecclesiastical body. A FEMALE WALKING FEAT. PENDLETON, S. C., August 15, 1874 On the 10th instant your correspondent inter- | viewed Mrs, Fanny Baldwin, a poor but respect- able woman, residing at the foot of the Blue Ridge Moantains, in Oconee county, South Carolina, who had just walked from her home to the residence of her father, near Pendleton, a distance of thirty- four miles, carrying her baby, six months old, weighing twenty-one pounds, in her arms. She left home at about six o'clock in the morning, and reached her father’s at five o’clock in the after- noon, Making an average Of a little over three miles an hour for eleven consecutive hours, over & mountainous, hilly and rough road, with the ther- mometer standing at ninety-six degrees most of the time. No other motive induced the walk tham parental affection, the pleasure of seeing her parents, Considering the sex of the performer, the weight carried, te distance, the time, the na- | ture of the road, the temperature of the weather. | of and the absence of an exciting motive, this walk has scarcely a parallel in the history of pedestrian- ism. Mrs. Baldwin 1s about twenty-six years of age, rather below medium height, though thick set, and the mother of four chiidren. GAMBLING HOUSES. After being caged for a brief period the “tiger” is again let loose within the limits of Manhattam Island. Early in the fall of 1873 the order was issued by Superintendenc Matsell, at the instance of some of the Commissioners of Police who were supposed to be inimical to Mr. Morrissey, direct- ing the captains of police to close up the gambling houses in their several districts. So peremptory was this order, indeed, that tne keepers of the terrible animal had scarcely a warning of the ap- proach of the “tiger catchers” before they made their appearance and bore these helpless victima the stern mandate to the various estabiishments where they were forced to pay & heavy ransom or be “impounded,”’ The principal gambling firms, after vainly endeavoring to get the order rescinded, qnietly submitted, closed | their doors, stopped their entertainments and discharged their retinue of ‘steerers,"’ ‘stool pigeons,’”? “‘cappers” and the like, and some of them went on exploring tours, taking with theu the favorite animals of the menagerie, which Lad proved so profitable in the metropolis, The smalier operators in “banco,” “keno,” “rouge et noir,’ “baccarat” and “skin remained te carry op thelr nefarious business in out-of- the-way plac and to be frequently hauled up and heavily fined. These places are the terror, or should be, of the unw, countrymen and “greenhorns,’’ who are induc by some plausible statement of the “steerer” to place their hard-earned gains upon the tabi where the only chance they have is to be robber of their entire venture. The changes which have lately taken place in the organization of the Board of Police Commissioners, and the raptdly-closing terms of office of certain of the city’s officials, have proved the truth of the old adage, that ‘it ts an ill wind that blows nobody good,” and so the gamblers are fast returning to their old haunts, and resuming their nightly exhibitions, In a con- yersation with one of these professional gentiemem the writer was informed that the last winter, spring and summer were the severest on the “kmghts of the green cloth’ ever known in thie city, and that those who were unable to get away had been in an almost starving condition, ANOTHER YOUNG THIEF CAUGHT. A young thief named Andy Owen, belonging te @ gang of young vagabonds who have been rob bing vhe grocery stores in Mott street for some time past, ventured over on the west side last evening and commenced his petty theits. About | six o'clock he was detected by Messrs, Lynch & | Co., of No. 245 Bleecker street, making of with am 8 the prospects for hts TOmey a un: armiul 01 muskmelons, taken irom the front of their store. He was pursued by one of the young men employed in the store, caught and carried back, A policeman was called, but the young rascal’s statements were 80 pitifuli—his iather was on Blackwell's Island and nis mother in @ sick and helpless condition—that Messrs. Lynch would not prefer the charge against him, and he was allowed 0 depart with a warning. Nota day passes that these young thieves are not caught some such act as the above. Are there no means of providing for this class of boys su as to prevent their growmg up and becoming the worst mem who infest the community? BEAL ESTATE.
