Aaofker Jubilee Tear, ._ Centenary meetings of the: MethAid the' UniTersalist ChurcMS are kaidly out of mind and the special worts' bcgUBon those anniversares are notyet when, behold, we finLouradres, without warning, in the mijtatof an Important anniversary year of another of the most powerful religions denontininadoas ofenr land. It has just cojneto the T"fad of the Editor of one of the Boston papers that this is the 250th year of the existence of the Congregational Gharch in this country, and he pr^oses that it be duily celebrated. The idea has taken like wild-fire. The editor wan immediately overwhelmed with letters .from all parts of the

land

approving hi« pro

position, and the prospect now is that the year will be celebrated with immense ^enthusiasm.

In New England the Congregationalists are far more numerous than any j&thetf' denomination. In fact, no town,^an hardly a village, is without a church of this order, and its parishes cover almost the entire territory of the ^ew Englan States. It has considerable strength the Middle States, and in the West it is very powerful. In one of the largest Western cities it is already the most powerful and rapidly increasing religious body, and in some of the States jf the Northwest it occupies the same relative position. Though in our city there is a •trong church of this denomination, yet in the State of Indiana the denomination i» weaker than in any other Northern State. t_

The plan foricel ebrating the year is not yet fixed. It has been suggested that there be two General Conventions, It is proposed to hold the first at Chicago on July 21st—the 250th anniversary of the day on which the Pilgrims left lieyden tor the purpose of coming to America and that this Convention "take into consideration the condition of our common Congregationalism, and its relations to the needs and wants of our country and our time with particular reference to the awakening of enthusiasm towards, and concerting measures for, a simultaneous jubilee thank-offering from the descendant* of the Plymouth men, and the admirers and inheritors of their principles, in aid of the great works in which, being dead, they yet speak."

The proposition for tbe second conven

{Uon

is as follows:

Thar

on Wednesday, 21st December—

Forefather's day—a service of Thanks giving b© hold on Plymouth rock, to b© followed on the evening of the day, by a suitable discourse,- say in the Music Hall, in Boston by some man of this nation, worthiest to speak on such a theme filty years after Daniel Webster.

Besides these conventions it is proposed that there be anniversary sermons, meetings, collections* &c., in every church on other days.

It seems very appropriate that the initiative steps should be taken by the Church on the spot where the Pilgrims first landed and this will probably be the ease, for the following is the last suggestion made by the Boston Congregationj®|P

And we propwe uiafth'e Church of the Pilgrimage in Plymouth immediately take the initiative, by a brief communication to sister churches, proposing the practical commemoration of the year, and naming a committee, say of twenty-five well-known and suitable pastors and laymen, whom it shall request to meet as soon as may be. to take action for shaping the details of the work. Let that committee meet and give their best wisdom to the construction of an outline plan. Then let them send that plan, by circular, to fifty or one hundred of the leading Congregationalist pastors and laymen in all parts of the county for their friendly criticum adjourning one month to give time for replies. Re-assembling, in the light of this correspondence it would seem to be entirely probable that this committee would then find it easy to offer to the Congregationalists of the nation a programme which would be at once accepted, and acted upon heartily, and without jealousy from any source."

We shall watch the development of this affair with interest, and hope that good will come from stirring the enthusiasm of the sons of the PilgrimB, and that, as the anniversary of the other churches have been a benefit to the cause of religion generally, so may this.

The

Last

editor of an Oregon paper'of a late

day says he has been shown a rich variety of garden flowers gathered while still fresh, and living in the open air, at Port Townsend, on Puget's Sound, on the 4th of January. Port Townsend is above the 48th degree of north latitude—considerably further north than St. Paul or Que bee. This is above the proposed western terminus of the newly projected Northern Paeifie Bailroad, and the objection to the coldness of the climate will hardly suffice to keep off the tide of emigration if the path of the exiles from Efin is to be strewn \tftK flowers all the year round.

These are among the legitimate rights for which all women should contend, and it is a healthy sign of progress in South Carolina to pas a law Involving an idea so just as the above. There are many other States happily not including our own, in which a woman's marriage conveys conversion ofall her ante-nuptial possesions to her husband. The sooner all such unjust statutes are repealed the better. They^are a blot upon our boasted civilization. fpt

., digs out. cf some "old pe» per this bit of plessantry that appeared in the. Express so

many days ago that

we had almost forgotten it, and might, if there were occasion, justly plead the statute of limitation \Milton B. Hopkins, Democratic nominee for Superintendent of Public Instruction—on the "social evil" platform—has commenced tbe canvass in a qniet way.— He makes Lafayette his base of operations, which shows "strategy,- my boy."— The Wabash will be his line of supplies, and its banks are well lined with distil leries.

Upon this our sanctimonious neighbor, induced thereto, doubtless, by that fervent piety so characteristic of Democratic journals, proceeds to remark that: "The Bev. Milton B. Hopkins, Demo cratic candidate for Superintendent of Publie Instruction, is a minister of the Christian Church. The members of that congregation will appreciate the jabeve attack upon his character by the highly moral and hone3t radical organ of this city."

When we wrote and published the item we had forgotten that Mr. HoPKnsrs was a member of the clerical profession, or of any church, and have to thank the Journal for reminding us of his profes sional status. We have, however, no apology to offer. Any minister of the Gospel who accepts a nomination for office on a platform that squarely indorses the "social evil a platform that protests against any regula tion of men's appetites or passions, need not complain of a facetious intimation that he may wish tq draw his suppliei from the sources at which we hinted Talk of an "attack upon his character!" Bah! A clergyman on a "social evil" platform stabs his own character more cruelly than all the "Radical orgahs" in the United States could stab it, were they to combine for a grand charge thereon. We dismiss the Bev. Miuik B. Hopkins as a clear case of suicide. To hit him, hereafter, will be atrocious cruelty.

In relation to the miserably mean at tempt of the Journal to summon sectarian prejudice to its aid, we have to say that whilejweare friendly to aRreligiousdenom inations, and [treat them all with respect and impartiality, we shall not eater to any of them. And if any of their clergymen expect to use the name or robes of their sacred office to shield them, in political contests, from just such handling they would receive were they laymen or members of no church, they will discover that they have reconed without their host.

BUBBLE PUNCTURED*

A Pretended Millionaire Torus np In Jail.

The counterpart to the young milliner who astonished the citizens of Troy by announcing that she had fallen heiress to an immense fortune in England, and which story was spoiled by the British Consul in this city, has been discovered in the person of one John M. Wood, of North Adams, who has just turned up as a prisoner in the Tombs. This young man, about a year ago, was engaged aB a wool sorter in the service of Tyler A Bliss, in his native town. He surprised his friends by dressing in the height of fashion, at the same time supplementing his action by circulating a story to the effect that while on his way to New York on one of the Troy steamers he met a young lady who fell desperately in love with him because of his resemblance to a young man to whom she had been engaged, and who died before the time arrived for their marriage Dying, she testified her devotion for him by leaving him her

lling

at $30,000. This was discredited by, most of his friends. Then came a story of a suit to break tne will, in whieh he gave out that he had triumphed. He now pretended to form plans for the investment of his fortune. Jerome B. Jackson, of North Adams, negotiated for $10,000, and on Monday was to meet Wood in this city for the purpose of receiving the money, which was alleged to be in 5-20 bonds. On Thursday he reported that he had been garroted and robbed of $13,000. It turns out that Wood has been defrauding hotel keepers and livery stable proprietors by wholesale, hence his arrest. His father came on here to setttle the claims and secure his son's release. Wood had promised to take $40,000 of thestoek in the Aduns National Bank and had engaged a driver for his team, for whom he had purchased a suit of livery. The driver, for several days past, has waited the arrival of the team from New York, expecting to meet his wealthy master with his splendid team. The bursting of the bubble has caused a considerable fluttering among the quiet people of North Adams. Many young women, since learning of Wood's streak of good luck, have been remarkably "sweet" on the young man. Their tender regard has been suddenly turned into execrations of the bitterest kind for the impudent pretender.

Was

Good Advice?

The Philadelphia Age relates mat wnen President Andrew Jackson was told that Purser Randolph, who was dismissed from the navy for defalcation^ had been arrested for his assault upon him, he exclaimed:

Yes, and I greatly regret it, and have ordered his release. If I had not been interfered with, I would have punished the scoundrel on the spot. I do notwant the aid of the law to protect me, or redress my wrongs. My mother, God bless her, when I was a boy, gave me this pieee of advice: 'Never to sue for slander, indict for assault and battery, or permit a personal assault to go unpunished on the spot and God knows I have most religiously adhered to it throughout my life .and dashing a long-stemmed white clay pipe, which he had neen smoking, on the man-tel-piece, by which he was erectly standding, he broke it into atoms.

THEIR PECULIAR MODE OF WORSHIP.

The white steepled church, with arched windows and resonant bell, is a thing unknown in a Shaker village and nothing in the external aspect of their meeting house deuotes the purpose of worship It is simply a plain parallelogram of a house, with a door at the side near either end, one for men and the other for woman. Its internal arrangement is definite enough, however, though most exceptional. It contains no pulpit or preacher, no cushioned pews, no trained choir with organ, or even with the oldfashioned violin and bass viol. It is only a large hall with movable benches, like those of country sehool houses in old times, facing each other, and a clear spec* of ten or twelve feet. in the center. Thi brethera enter at one door, the sisters at the other, andf not individually, as among the world's people, but all in procession, two abreast. If ^outsiders come they must comply with this usage a man must leave his wife io enter at the door assigned to her sex, and they sit at op-

Mite

ends of the house the separation is exoable. The brethern wear their daily garb when not at work, long-tailed drab coats, mixed, blue or purple pants and vests, all home dyed their hair is combed down straight in front, cut high tlii

across the forehead and falling to the shoulders behind. The sisters takeoff their queer bonnets as they enter, and are 1 in white gowns without hoops, with high waists, and skirts gathered in numerous pints while on their heads they wear oddly made tarletan caps, and over their shoulders handkerchief folded diagonally. All set for a while, but shortly rise, pile the benches at each end of the room, then range themselves in rows, several abreast, men andjwomen separate as usual, drop their arms elose to their sides, and fall into a quick march around the hall in a closed-up circle, the children in the inside, and the singers, usually four of each sex in the middle of all, The sOng continues through this mareh, and at a certain retrain ther face in and suffle. This is the renowned Shaker dancing, ns usually practiced. A variation is called, "traveling to Zion wherein they form in single file and move from west to east,- the women leading with a peculiar step that imparts a swaying motion to their bodies. Once aNew York Visitor at one villiage asked the elder if the Shakers did not believe in the amosementa and dancing of the world and when the elder quietly answered, "Oh, nay," the man of the world thought to corner him byreferring to the dance he had witneae£ But the elder readily replied, "Oh, wedance to serve the Lord out you to serve the devil!" The meetings are generally an hour and a half? long, and in other respects rather Quakerish. The aoogs which accompany their dancing and alternate their preaching, are nearly all their own, and the, tunes are as monotonous and onmelodions as Indian chants. waamm aj»aocux.

The Shakers.

A correspondent of the Springfield (Mass.) Republican, who has had fourteen years experience, writes along account of the Shakers, from which we take the following extracts:

They are communists in a peculiar way, and have achieved success where the usual result has been failure. They have prospered for ninety years, while the experiments of Owen, Fourier and others, except the Oneida community, have collapsed. On this point they adopt the apostolic plan of having no such thing as individual property, nut holding all things in common. Their villages are divided into families of no arbitrary number, containing anywhere from thirtv to one hundred and fifty members. Each family has a large dwelling house with a spacious hall running through the center the rooms on one side being occupied by the sisters, and on the other by the brethren. They have separate buildings for the different trades they carry on one for making brooms, another for coopering, and always an ample dairy house and their barns for all sorts of stock are usually models. They raise most of the neceasaries of life, grain and produce^ keep sheep, raise hemp, and make their own woolen and linen clothes in .their own factories while their wooden ware, garden seeds, pressed herbs and eanned fruits are standards. Their industries make them, indeed, quite independent especially as their property is inalienable. It is securely guarded against all claims from ap tates every one who becomes a menu or, if a child, on coming of age, signs a covenant net to bring, the family into debt or damage, and should he or she leave, not to demand any more compensation for his or her services than they chose to give. Without such an agreement the property would soon run out by the departure of many who add nothing to its value. Should any family die out, its estate, real and personal, would revert to the other families, or if any village should fail in numbers, its possessions would belong to the other villages.

tieiraa AHBmQtie*, and for the discontented a Shaker village is no place. They-atc not austere and gloomv they area religious society, and have banished the folly and vanity'of the world, as they phrase it, from their talk, their dress, and, presumably, from their hearts.' ThiSy art always cheerful and and sisters live the same room, om at aiuensai. lauicsMiu all share alike, wfthonf'fa^oritism.^They have always the same place at table, meeting or- elsewhere all is Tegular "as clockwork. That woman is in every respect the equal of man, was Mother-Ann's most progressive revelation, and the theory is carried out fully in their practice. Women share as largely as men in the ministry and the government, in the eldership and deaconships, and the plan works well. for their lives, if all the world were as moral as they, there would be no further need for jailsfc Statg^grisons or penitentiaries.

THEIR GOVERNMENT AND DISCIPLINE. The Shakers are ruled by almost absolute power. The denomination's head is in tne parent society at New Lebanon, and consists of two members of each sex, who hold officefor life, and choose their, successors. These appointthe ministpy of every society and family. In each family there are two elders and elderesses, whose disciplinary power is second only to that of the ministry. The individual member has no share in the government, or in the choice of these rulers, though he should spend a life timeo'f faithful service. Disonedience of the elder's orders .entitles the culprit to a walking ticket. Next to the elders are the deacons and deaconesses, who have charge of the temporal and financial affairs, but yet' cannot transact' business of any importance without acquainting the elders, or make any1"

It can not be. concealed that for the last ten or fifteen years their numbers have been diminishing, the older men and women dying, and leaving few to fill their places. The world offers decidedly brighter inducements than their life of retired self-denial, and out of fifty children they bring up, scarcely^ more than one will stay longer than till 18 or 21 years old. They natter themselves however, with the belief that there is at hand an Awakening, as in the days of Mother Ann, and their villages will speedily be filled to overflowing. This is the secret hope at the bottom of the pains they have taken of late to make their creed and forms of worship popularly known this explains the Atlantic articles and Music hall exhibitions of Elder F. W. Evans, of Lebanon. They now number 18 societies, and not more than 3,000 members. About one hundred Swedes have lately joined the_ Kentucky cummunity. The point of their failure is simple enough: they can't inspire faith. The majority of those who now join them are tramps, homeless wanderers in distressed circumstances, glad to get a 'good homeand clothes. Ihese bring up at the Shaker village in the winter, stay a few months, or perhaps a couple of years, conclude a (shaker's life is not congenial, and go as they came. When these go, of course the society can afford to give them very little, and nine times out of ten the few dollars they get are more than they deserve. Beggars always find the Shakers generous and hospitable. There are few well educated people among them Such men as Giles Avery and F. W Evans are very rare in their ranks. Elder Evans is a man of strong though ec centric intellect, and would, have been notable in any station. In a business lint of view, the Shakers have certainly ^en very successful. Beginning with the rocky farms owned by the first proselytes, they have added thereto till they own in all seventy-five thousand acres of land while other communists, starting their experiment with means'and^influence, have broken up in contention, strife and loss. From log houses they have advanced to as good buildings as are put up one of the families of New Lebanon, for instance, having recently built a sixty thousand dollar dwelling house, and a stone barn some two hundred feet long, which cost fifteen thousand dollars juBt before the war, and would now cost twice that. Their religion has taught them the secret of this success—united interest. ,,

Stanton's Will.

The will of the late Edwin M. Stanton, filed in the Orphans' Court, and being proven, was admitted to probate. The will is quite short, being contained on one page of ordinary lettfer paper. It bears date July 19, 1869, and is witnessed by J. K. Barnes, Surgeon-General, G. T. Chapman and R. S. Harrison. After directing that his just debts be paid, he bequeaths two-thirds of his property, including his plate and household furniture, chargarble With the payment of two thirds of his debts, to his wife, Ellen H. Stanton, and the remaining one-third, chargeable with one-third of his debts, his mother the surplus at her death to divided between his three youngest children. He names G. H. Wilson, of Ashtabula. Judge Andrew Wylie, Gen. E. D. Townsend, and his wife as executors, and gives a majority of them power -to sell his property.

THE SHAKEBS AND THS LATE WAB. Thev eschew politics, neither voting nor holding office. They area peace society, as the Quakers are, and were considerably embarrassed thereby during the late war. They couldn't go to war, nor when drafted could could they pay the commutation money, for that would be supporting the" war.— So, when several were drafted in various villages, they sent a committee to Washington, to plead with President Lincoln, They had shrewdly searched the records, and found that many soldiers had joined them after the revolution, to whom pensions were due, which as the price of blood, were never collected. The committee mentioned this to Mr. Lincoln he had the records of the War Department examined, and found that these pensions, principal and interest, would have by that time amounted to over one' million dollars, and as the Shakers had clearly saved this to the national exchequer,they had considerably overpaid their commutation money. Moreover, the Shakers had been, by "law, exempt from military duty until Congress had, in 1863, included both them and the Quakers with the rest of the community. So Mr Lincoln assured them that they should -not be called on, nor were they.

The Kentucky Shakers suffered much loss in the war, as their village was the center of many skirmishes, troops were quartered with them, and their grain and horses were reft away by fire ana theft* THEIR PRESENT STATE AND FUTURE .HOPE.
