This time-honored institutionis about to
experience some important changes in its
immediate omeers and managers. Charles
‘ Issues, Esq., the ,long-time President and
sincere and faithful friend of every man
who did business with the bank, has ten-
dered his resignation, to take" effect on the
first of January, proximo. George E. Mil-
ler, for several years past Cashier, has also
tendered his resignation, to take'efiect at the
same time. Mr. Miller leaves to. form a
business connection with E. C. Bissell and
Charles C. Belts in the Crossley Carpet Co.,
of Bridgeport.
We are gratified to learn, and the public
will be equally - rejoiced to know that the
President’s mantle is to fall upon the young
and vigorous shoulders of Col. F. St.JOhn
Lockwood. No better selection could pos-
sibly be made. The Colonel’s long and
valuable experience as Bank Commissioner
of‘the State has given him not only an in—
sight into those “hidden mysteries” of Bank-
ing, which make such" ills'fitutions prosper-
ous, but he enjoys a personal reputation
and acquaintance among the financial men
of the Country, which must prove of the
utmost value toit and to himself in this new
sphere Of duty. ' ' .
‘ Mr. Miller‘s vacancy is. to be filled, as we
learn, by the appointment of Mr. Charles H.
Street to the Cashiership. This appoint-
ment we are also confident will be found to
be both wise and promotive of the best in-
terests of the Bank. Mr. Street is a young
man of fine abilities, a thoroughly compe-
tent Bank man, having long been a teller of
the Institutionnnd familiar with the busi-
ness and customers from all of whom he has
won, as he has deserved to do, their confi-
dence and respect. Courteous and urbane
in manner to all,,he is one of those substan-
tial young men 'Whose diaphragm is not
likely to become disturbed by any sudden
prosperity, and we but reiterate the public
judgment of the best friends of the
Bank when we state the prevalent convic-
tion that it is more than fortunate in having
such material out of which to create a new
Cashier. ‘ ' '
In bidding adieu to the ofiicial life of one '
who has been so long and so intimately
identified with the principal monetary inter-
ests of, our town, a word _Of parting testi-
mony to the fidelity Of service and integrity
of purpose of CHARLES Isaacs, is most fit-
tingly in place. The infirmities consequent
upon a long life of laborious activities, had
long since admonished him and his friends
that the few years remaining of its mellow
twilight should be passed free from business
cares and perplexing anxieties. To this end,
after mature consideration and in accord-
ance with the desires of his family, his res-
ignation has been tendered. ‘Had our voice
been potent at the counsels of the Board,
we should have urged, in view of his sig-
nal services, the nominal continuance of his
name on the rolls as its chief executive of-
ficer while life remained, while our young
friend the Colonel were assigned to active
duty as Vice President: But it is undoubt
cdly best as it is and more in accordance
with his own desires. His general counsels
and more generous acts in behalf of those
requiring both light and aid, will be sadly
missed in the future, Our young business
men, in whom he always took an especial
interest, and whose success was ever: a
source of unfeigned delight, will‘miss him
and miss too his kind Offices in their behalf
~at the“ Board.” But a venerable age crown-
ed with the glory of generous 'deeds, calls
him to quiet and rest for the remnant of his
mortal career. Calmly and peacefully may
he enjoy it to a golden close, and—friend of
our youth and manhood—our gratitude can
only add, may the opening portals of the
eternal world usher thee to a blessed im-
mortality. ‘ ‘

The Lecture system is fully inaugurath
in Norwalk. The last week- has given us
two of the foremost orators of our times,
CHAPIN and PHILLIPS—diverse as the poles,
yet both men of the rarest culture, epigra-
matic wit and eloquent utterance. Chopin's
lecture at South Norwalk,‘was"'as a matter
of course, heavily charged from the electric
battery of his ponderous brain. Ideas and
beautiful imagery burst forth in the rapid,
' startling corruscations of,a lightning storm.
His iron wire that girdled the zones with‘
rdeaping thought, and the deep sea cable that
unites the nations with an electric kiss were
of the genuine Chapin coinage.
Mr. Phillips gave .us his old but instruct-
ive LeCture, “The Lost Arts.” Although
some of the finer points given twenty years
ago, were omitted, yet we doubt if any lis-
tener escaped being charmed ‘by the calm,
graceful, and at times brilliant conversa-
tional style and bearing of the lecturer. We
heard Mr. Phillips once in the mu height of
excited and angry debate, when his passion
seemed almost superhuman and his *torrent
of fierce, withering invectivc sWept every-
. thing like the molten lava down a volcano’s
side. But on- our plathrm, his easy poise
and simple words imperceptibly leading
on and fascinating the listener, evinced his
clear mastery of the highest art in oratory,
as well as the universality of his scholarly
research and culture.
. WThe New Board of School Visitors
met and organized on Saturday. Rev. Mr.
Dunning was appointed to fill the vacancy
in the Boardoccasioned by the resignation of
Dr. Lynes. As Rev. Mr. Gates, former Act-
ing School Visitor is to be absent several

Acting Visitor for the year.

Facts for the People.
The New York & New Haven Railroad
has been remarkably exempt from accidents
the past year. It has wonderfully whipped
up since a competing road became a matter
of probability and yet it makes every man,
woman and child passingovcr it pay a rate
of fare that would not be exacted a day af.
ter the new road is built.
\ E:
lag-The New Savings Bank Building. is
now completed and the east side occupied
by that Institution. It is a vast improve-
ment upon any previous accommodations
that remarkable successful institution, has
been able to afford either itself or its patrons.
We do not believe a single depositor can be
found to dissent from the wisdom and mod-
ernized enterprise exemplified in this local
improvement and public-spiritedness. The
New Banking Room and Building will vie
with any in the State.

WThe antiquated individual who resides
inthe White House, His Excellency, the
President of the U. S., issued his annual
message to Congress last week, the docu-
ment first appearing exclusively in Brick

came out fiat footed for repudiation, and
Congress in turn promptly repudiated his
doctrines. Brick Pomery claims the credit
Of this part of the message, it being not only
in accordance with his views but nearly in
his Own words. Otherwise the message is
really of no importance, and we have no
room for even extracts from it, and refer all
who desire to see it to the daily papers.
WThe Young Men’s Christian Associa-
tion announce a second course Of Lectures
to commence in January. The lecturers se-
cured for this course are George W. Curtis,
Murdock, the inimitable reader, 'Rev. Mr.
Willetts, DuChaillu,and Rev. Mr.WOOdruff,
who we presume will repeat the Lecture
given at South Norwalk, wherein he 3so
pointedly rebuked the sins \and shame of
modern social life ; the folly and wicked-
ness of devoting a human life which ought
to be useful and sublime, to dress, exterior
show, and cold heartless conventionalities.
As a lecture abounding. in wise counsel to,
old and young, parents and children, we
consider Mr. Woodrufi’s lecture as distinct-
ively in advance of any yet given us.

E‘We are glad to notice that our con-
stant hammering has had a good effect upon
the N. Y. &. N. H. Railroad, and secured
manyimprovements for the benefit of travel-
lers. The company is now showing Unwant-
ed liberality in providing comfortable and '
elegant cars, and if they continue to improve
comfortable as those in use on westeen roads.
We learn from the N. H. Journal that, “the
three railroads which formlthe New York
and Boston express line—the Boston and Al-
bany, Hartford and New Haven, and New
York and New Haven—held a meeting of
officers lately, and decided to order for their
associate use four new drawing-room cars,
to be made by Bush,~Gilbert & Co. Of Troy,
and six passenger cars Of a new and'elegant
pattern, known as the New Jersey Central
pattern, built by the New Haven car com-
pany. The Whole will involve an expendi-
ture Of $80,000.” Gen. Grant, who recently
passed over this line in the night train, is
said to have expressed himself dccidcdlly
against the system of sleeping cars inuse
upon our railroads, and no wonder, for he
has been accustomed to travelling in George
M. Pullman’s splendid cars, which,» as all
persons know who have tra'vellcd at the
West, are far more elegant and comfortable
than our eastern cars, while the charges are
the same. Why cannot cars equally good
be'afi'orded in rich and thickly settled New
England.
Talking oi splendid cars reminds us of
another new feature of Pullman's, which
has proved successful on some of the Wes-
tern Roads,—the Palace Hotel and Dining
Cars, a description of which we gave in let-
ters from the West last summer. In the
middle of these ous,—and you would never
suspect it,—is akitchen where themeals are
prepared. On each side are dining rooms,
the tables set with service of silver and china.
The meals are brought in smoking hot, pre-
pared in the best restaurant manner. Pas-
sengers walk in from the other cars, and take
their food at leisure, paying for what they
order. The trains make no stops “twenty
minutes for refreshments,” andthus an hour
each day is'gained. If this system is adop-
ted on the Union Pacific; Railroad it will
shorten the trip about one day from New
York to San Francisco.

Muscle Enmxst—
Our friend H. states “the real point
at issue between us" thus :' "Do the Scriptures genera
orally, and St. Paul. particular, prohibit women
from speaking or praying in publlcf"Now,ss he so em-
phatically lays down the law "Wepropose to hold him
to his literallcm,” I might properly refuse to be held
for more, and so correct his statement of the question
thus; Does St. Paul, in his first epistle to the Corin-
thians, (14: 34.35), and in his first cplstle to Timothy
(2: 11.12), prohibit a- woman from meeting and teach-
ing—as a public speaker or teacher—in the churchesf,
I appealed to Caesar, and by Caesar only am I to be
strictly held. I have said not a word about women
‘proyfng in public." Miss Dickinson's position as a
in public” has ever been asserted, exercised, or pro-
hibited. Therefore Imlght justly decline to be forced
beyond the “strict construction." Does St. Paul pro-
hibit women frOm“speaIca’ng"in the“eeocleala”:—from
“teaching," so as to usurp authority over the man ?"
And if he does, must thcpn'ncfplca of Divine authori-
ty, and of Christian propriety, here set forth, “ inter-
fere with a woman’s liberty to speak from a platform
before ,a miscellaneous audience,"—(these are the
literal words of our friend's demand)—“as a public
lecturer or orator”—-as I stated the question.
In our construction of SLPaul’s two lessons, to the
Corinthian church and to Timothy, we “diverge." 1
hold them literally. He thinks otherwise. How oth-
erwise he has not thought best to state. ' He ventures,
indeed, a suggestion. Here it is. “If Paul does not
here refer to peculiar and restricted cases, what shall
those women do who have no husbands at home,”
whom they may “ask” for information?“ What are
these “peculiar and rutrfotcd cases?" Is there spec
1:] significance in H.’s specification, Paul "does not
prohibit a woman’s speaking elsewhcro than in a
church—especially an unmarried woman?" Does ho
mean tolnttmatc that Hm Dickinson has peculiar
f‘liberty, right or privilege"; but that In. Smith,
In. Brown and In. Jones are ‘Weurfctcd cases?”
“What shall those women do who have no husbands
at homer" Why, the intimation ofthe apostle seems
to be that ‘MnmuMcd women,” in the good old
time when they were "rulrfctcd" within close bounds
of modesty and propriety. would be in no danger of
violating his prohibition fi-om public speaklng, or
questioning. We suggest, such might "ask”thelr
fathers "at home."
But it is time to determine the meaning of the word
“Church.” H. surely does not suppose that “Eccle-
sia," ever has "Heating House ;" although some
have so rstood him. I gave the definition of
this Greek word, which Paul uses, from that stand»
ard authority Professor Roblson’s Lexicon of the New
Mount: Ecclesia (1) any public assembly, congre-
gation, couclo: (t) a Church, the Christian , Church.”
First, “any public assembly." Here H. 'ehallengos
Dr. Robinson and my humble self; “Can you show
me an instance where the Greek word Ecclesia,
which our translators render church, is so used in the
New Testament.” Yes, with pleasure. Dr. Robinson
cites three instances in one chapter, in Acts (19:32.30
41.) 0f the Epheslan mob, met in the theatre, full of.
wrath against Paul, (as such persons generally are) it
is said “The Assembly (ccclesia) was confused ;" So
the “Town Clerk" called them to order, and said
Paul’s casc'should be “determined in a lawful amn-
bly,” (ecclesia), and then “dismls‘sed the assembly,"
(ecclesla). Ia myfi-icnd anmcrcd f
But again: “Do you believe Paul cm uses the word
in thissensc?" I reply, I know of no case where he
had occasion thus to use it. Butin Hebrews 12:23, he
does use a word which our translators render as tauto-
logical,—" general assembly and” (or, ever») “ the
Church of the firstborn.” But H. inquires; “Does
he not always mean a Christian Assembly?" Certain-
ly he does in the two lessons under discussion; and
so let them stand ;— "Let your women keep silence in
the Christian Assembly. For it is a shame for a wo-
man to speak in the Christian Assembly." And now
we come, following H, to the second lesson. It was
given by Paul to Timothy, whom he had left in charge
at Ephesus, in his own stead, when he went into Mac-
edonia; and whom he instructed that he might"know
how to behave” himself in the “Christian Assembly,”
and bow to “charge some that they teach no other
doctrine” than Paul’s, f‘from which some having
swerved,had turned aside unto vain janglfngficstring
to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what
they say nor whereof they afilrm. " So he proceeds to
instruct Timothy how to correct these abuses, and
how to assign to all their proper spheres and duties”
in the Christian assembly; and says “Let the woman
learn in silence with all subjection. ButI snfler not
a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority, over the
man, but to be in silence-’7 'What is his literal mean-
ing? Here, as in'his letter to the Corinthians, it is
' one of “subjection,” of "obedience," (not subjuga-
tion, but subordination)—"The head of the woman is
the‘manr' by teaching in the Christian assembly she
“usurps authority over the man.” Now my friend
says “What quiet households we should have if these
words were literally adhered to 1” (Even so. I doubt
not that many a hon-peeked husband, lectured and
hectorsd by a teaching, usurping woman, would re-
spond with a hearty Airan to my friend’s ejaculation.
“It is better to dwell in the corner of the honsetop,ttn
the wilderness), than with a' brawling (contentious)
woman, and in a wide house.” Proverbs 21: 10.2634
Solomon had large experience.) "Close up your fe-
male Seminarles, Silence your female Sunday School
teachers 1" Certainly, lfin their teaching they “usurp
authority over the man." But these , are not the
“public Christian Assembly." “But after all, it seems
the women did not keep silence in their public 'as-
scmbllcs, and in the Apostle’s time; and Paul, so far
from feeling aggrieved by the fact, or prohibiting it,
gave directions how it should be done, and thus sane-

them that they “remembered him in all things, and
had kept the ordinances," and then adds, “But, (a
most significant and exceptional buuatwoman's usur-
pation) “But I would have you know that the head Of
everyman is Christ, and the head of every woman is
the ' man,"—“But, every woman that prayeth, or
prophesieth, with her head uncovered, dishonoreth her
head"—-“for if the woman he not covered, let her al-
so be shorn." (Is it out of any respect to Paul that
some women—lecturers, who will. not be “covered,"
cut off their hair.) “ The woman was created for the
man." (She has Miss D’s unmitigated pity.) “For
this cause ought the woman 'to have‘ power on her
head”—-"that is,” is the marginal reading “power—or
covering, in sign that she is in the power of her hus-
band.” Now is there here one word of “sanction?”
We might urge (with the commentators) that Paul is
not here discussing the practice itself, but is condemn-
ing the shameless manner of its performance,snd that
in the segupeL—only three chapters ufter,—he con-
demns tho practice lt‘self, as'we have seem Paul cer-
tainly does not contradict himself by condemning
what he had “sanctioned" ‘
There is another answer; one that covei's other
cases cited by. H, and so we dwell on it.
All that this reference can literally, or possibly
“sanction,” is a certain kind of “praying and prophe-
sying." Granted that it was in the public assembly.
What was this “praying and prophesyingt" Do‘dd-
rtdge says, “The women' seem to have worn their
hair disheveled, when praying by divine inspiration
(which seem to have been the onlycase in which they
could regularly pray in public): this made them re
- semble those pagan priestesses who pretended to be
actuated by their gods ;"and again, “I should suppose
with Dr. Whitby, that prophesyfng here signifies sing-
lngpeolms andpraylny,‘ not loading the devotions,
but Joining in them.” [Not resting on this, I ask,
was not this praying and prophcoylng that "praying
in the Holy Ghost", and “speaking in the Holy
extraordinary and temporary dispensation of miracu-
lous gifts bestowed on the primitive and apostolic
Church, when the Holy Ghost endowed them with
the power ofspcaklng with tongues,of“propllesying,"
and of working miracles ;_ as on the "day of Pente-
cost,” when the apostle Peter declared that God had
fulfilled his prophesy by Joel, that he would pour out
no Spirit, when sons and daughters should prophesy-
when he would show "signs and wonders" for the
proof of his newly established Christian Gospel, and
the confi'rmatiob and cdlficationoins church?
But who isthe prephctu, and, the prophetic of the
newApostollc age? Let us resort sgaln to our Lexicon
of the New Testament. “He (or she) is a person diam-
ly inspired, to whom God meals and whoforculloyh-
ture mm:—who reveals things before unknown. and
relating chiefly to religion ; an interpreter of the Divine

him. What did "Anna do 2" Take her for a speci-
' men of the prophetosseo whom H. cites.
Luke says that, following Simeon, “unto whom it
had been revealed by the Holy Ghost” that before death

Perhaps he tanot used to act fishing. He does better

I have consulted several commentaries on the pas-
sages cited, Scott’s, Henry‘s, Doddrldgo’s, the Com-
prehonslve, Lange, Barnes. They all spank. Inbstun-
tially, thesamo language; qualifiedby Doddrldge to

14th, to the Corinthians, “ Let your woman keep si-
lence" “if they have not: some mmrdlnory revela-
tion." I content myself with quoting from Dr. Al-
bert Barnes only on Paul's lesson. “This rule is pos-
itive, explicit, universal. No rule in the New Testa-
ment is more positive than this, and however plausi-
ble may be the reasons which may be urged for disre-
garding it, and for'sufibring women to take part in
conducting public worship, yet the authority of the
apostle Paul is positive, and his meaning cannot be
mistaken."
- My friend has asked many questions 3 he will permit
me to ask in turn ; Whatis your construction ofPanl's
lessons ‘I If it be “the right and privilege" of women
to speak and teach in the “Christian aseembly,”—wby
did not the blaster allow it by commisslaumg the Ma-
rys, or Joanna, or Suaannp, or other “ women who
ministered to himwlth their subtance,” among the
seventy, whom he sent out first, or among the twelve
apostles? Why did not Peter. James, John, Paul,&c.,
“lead about a wife, a sister” to organise or build up
churches, In the place of Hark, Luke, Barnabas, Sl-
laa, Timothy, ac? Why has Christ left all his
churches so much in darkness about “women’s rights,"
that the women have never been ordained bishops,
elders, pastors, act now is this among the bishops
and itinerant ind local preachers of the truly great
and noble lubed“: church?
Now let us come back to the starting-point and
make the "application." If the injunctions of Paul
prohibit woman fromspeaklng or teaching in “Chris-
tian public assemblies," then does not thoprlncfplc laid
down, and the spirit contained in than, cover the
platform of the Young Hen's Christian Annotation,
and the “public miscellaneous audience?”

The genius of Art has frequently been displayed to
the astonishment and delight of those, attentivelyre-
gardlng its efibrts. Fiom the earliest ages of the
world he representations of natural objects havebeen .
ameans Of communicating ideas from one mind to
another. There is a poetry and language in them
which afi'ords‘ the most delightful contemplations.
Whatemrmlng memories and pleasant associations,
are connected with the pictures of our boyhoods home.
What infiuence have they not exerted in our after
lives. Art has always restrained and refined the
groaser propensitiesmnd evil tendencies ofour nature
lighting up as it were, an inspiring glow in bosons
not clogged and overgrown with the thistlee of indul-
gence and licensed appetite. Like light streaming _
through the windows of some noble temple, lt glori-
fes and enriches all that is pure, in sentiment and
taste when joined to virtue, intellect, freedom or de-
votion. It is diacult to fairly estimate the value of
many great works of art. They so fill the soul with
their varied beauties, that price when connected with
them‘ becomes a vulgarlem, and Often is it true that
admiration for tho paintingmelta into adoration for
the artist. The people‘ of the world know but little
of what is in it. There are probably thousands of
lonely souls heating with the love and inspiration of
true genius and art. Thousands of human hearts
yearning emancipation from the-bondage of that pov-
erty of spirit which keepsthem and their productions
in so muchobscurity.‘ There are others who from a
natural modesty are unwilling that their own crea.
tions and their copies of nature should be held up to
the mixed intelligence and criticism _of the public.
The Rev. J. Eaton Smith, Rector of the Memorial
Church, Westport is an Artist in more respect than
one. While fulfilling in a brilliant and Satisfactory
manner his mission as a preacher of the Gospel 0‘
ter, and without aspiring to fame as an artist, has at
times presented us with pictures that would do credit
to many whose names are widely known, and their
genius acknowledged The‘polish and grace display-
ed by him in the pulpit are plainly traced in all the
touches ofhls pencil. We have heard it said that in
early youth, and when only twelve years of age he sur
prised and delighted bifteachcrs and friends by the
facility with which he was wont to decorate the walls
of his room and the seminary in which he studied.
Later in life with little pretenslon on his part, and
only for the love of the thing has he painted portraits
and sketches which show unmistakably the man of
genius, and a mind of great conceptive and imagina-
tive power. '
He is at present engaged on a very unique and
. novel work which has already cost him weeks ofla-
bot-ions efi'ort, and when finished will be a stupendu-
ons specimen of concentrated energy, perseverence,
and skill, well worthy of the man engaged on it and a
credit to all associated. with him. The object of the
picture is to show what can be done with the simple
materials of pen and ink. In it, there are some forty-
eoven figures, each one of which is a study in itself.
There is the agodprieat "with long flowing :beard,
alter. There are the thoughtful lines of the scholar
and the sparkling face of the letter or clown. In all
the characters represented there is a most wonderful
resemblance to life. The drapery is beautifullv man-
aged as is also the landscape, and when we consider
that this picture is done entirely with a Glilot’s pen,
and that the millions of little lines which make it up
are alldonewlthsucheare and precision, astowar-
not the belief, inall who have seen it that it is equal
to the finest steel engraving, we pronounce it one of
the master-pieces of art. We have never seen any-
thing of this kind before, but we hope that when it is
known, what can be done in this way that others will
bring out similar pictures.
beautiful that the depth and tone of the shadows thus
produced, Before We had witnessed this work of the
Rev. Mr. Smith ‘we would have pronounwd it an im-
possibility, but having watched its progress from day
to day we can only wonder that it is not ofteuer done.
, We rejoice to know that Hr. Smith’s health, which
has long beenimpalred, is much improved. May he
be spared to us in his vocation as a minister for we
cannot afiord to lose him, and may he have the time
and inclination to occasionally favor as with other
specimens ofhis handiwork. F. H. N.
