Show The abhorrence which members of the cloth clerical havo for the filthy luoro called monoy was never more aptly illustrated, than by that Rt. Rev. and military man, major general Dr. John P. Newman. Ho prayoth for the senate and receives therefor tho miserable miser-able ' pittanco of $7,500, scarcely onough to purchaso tho soap wherewith where-with to keep tho revorend person olean. Ho was pastor of tho Metropolitan Metro-politan M. K ohuroh, of Washington, hut behold b.e did not find favor in the oyes of his brethren who rule in things spiritual, therefore ho no longer pre-sideth pre-sideth over its chimes. Rut travel was doomed good for him, and he was appointed ap-pointed Inspector of Consulates with a further pittanco of $6,000 per annum, in coin, and expenses; and with the privilege of taking with him a clerk at $3,500 a iyear more. The godly mao had the naming of this olerk, and named Mrs. Nowman Tor tho position, by whioh means he secures her company, com-pany, her expenses paid, and adds a trifle more to tho tamily inaomc. Close on $20,000 a year from Uncle Samuel this great, good and pious anti-polyg-aniite is thus receiving, which it is to be hoped will suffice, until a beneficent providence or Provident Grant can throw somothing-clse in his way. |
