Thiors aud Gortschakoff are to hold a con ference at Lausanne, in Switzerland, quite soon. The Salzburg conference of the Em perors of Germany and Austria is generally accepted as the cause of this consultation be tween Russia and France. It will bo gene rally regarded also as the continuation of M. Thiers’ rather abortive trip to St. Petersburg a year ago. Owing to precedents, to the prim itive condition of civilization which places the peace of Europe w ithin tho whims of a few men, aud to the really artificial set tlements of things generally, these confer ences will be widely interpreted in the inter est of war. Already the papers are specu lating about tho comparative prowess of Russia and France as against Austria and Germany. Some of them infer that Germany is weakened, in spite of her groat victories, and th a t Austria, in the event of an alliance with Germany, will bo able to rely on only a p a rt of her provinces. They dis count the great value of such au allianco for war purposes, aud say that Austria cannot be expected to train kindly with the nation which whipped her, and am p u tated her at Sadowa. They also magnify tho resources and num b ers o f Russia, aud the hatreds and hopes o f France. They frugally neglect to consider the m ilitary and m onetary condition of the latter couutry, very much. Now on tho threshold of a great deal of speculation 011 this subject, i t will be woll for our readers to bear in m ind a few decisive facte. Thero is a lato instance which makes against the idea that Austria and Germany will n o t coalesce. Napoleon III. found his conviction, on which he leaned, that the Southern German States would break with Prussia, a broken reed that pierced his hand. The troops of the States he hoped to disaf- fect helped conquer him. Those States had suffered more at the hands of Prussia than Austria has. Thoy u n ited w ith their dospoilor for self-interest and self-preservation. So will Austria. Any p redictions founded upon the Sadowa feeling will fail. Austria, or any othor nation, can afford to forget injur ies wheu it pays to have a for giving memory. Beside, France failed historicidly the hopes of Austria at Sadowa, as thoroughly as Prussia dashed them. The grudge against France is as great as that against Prussia; aye, g reater. For to France’s default theu, Austria owes not only her pros tration, b u t also h e r chagrin a t the subsequent and present omnipotence of Prussia. A false friend is h a ted worse than, an open enemy. Moreover, Austria would joiu Prussia a t any tim e rather thau side with, or, in war, be neutral toward, Russia. T h at coantry has succeeded in gettiDg wofully out of relations with Austria. They have quarreled or disagreed since the dismemberment of Poland as two thieves who go part ners in a fell deed, often subsequently do. The one arguuieut which assists the sugges tion of Austria’s disinclination for belligerent alliance is her recent practice of and prefer ence f®r peace. Yon Beust has admirably conciliated H u n g ary and A u strian Poland. Ho has almost made over an absolute mon archy into a federal one. But Austria by territorial circumstances of herself and her contiguous rivals, would almost be compelled to take a hand in any war Russia and Germany m ight wage, compelled in self defense. While such a necessity would set back the reform s on which the H apsburgs are bout, it would also pre serve the Empire from disintegration, with Germany as a backer and friend. Iu spite, too, of all the Sadowan feeling, the lato war has discovered b o th to Prussia and Austria that their interests and instincts alike lie in union. Neither will forget that lesson. W hile outside m ankind make poems on the moral spectacle of such an union, tho politicians and soldiers of each country trade and realize up on it. So m uch as to tho alleged unlikeliness and unnaturalness of Germany and Austria not standing by the alliance of Salzburg. An alliance botween France and Russia would be supplem enting obeBity with the galloping consumption. Russia undoubtedly bas arms and officers an d m en in profusion. There is n o evidence that Russia has modern arms, or genuine generals, or skilled soldiers to the degree Germany possesses. Russia has had more than sixteen years to learn the les son of the Crimean war. France had as long a time and never learned ifc. As to bravery, all arm ies are pretty m uch alike. As to e f ficiency, knowledge, mobility and execution, Russia, by presum p tion, is m ilitarily as bad off as France. Tho quarterm as ters betrayed Russia in the Turkish war and France in the late war. There is small reason to infer that they have been set back in Russia. None of them have b eeu hanged anyway. Russia has doubtless by railroads, drilling, and the like, improved her m ilitary efficiency to an extent no coun try conld help im p roving; b u t she has not officered her forces on the condition of m e rit; those forces are notallow e d educa tion or know ledge; their officers m ust needs be noble only, not noble and ablo as in the case of Prussia. In short, Russia has made ordinary progress while Germany has attained extraordinary per fection in m ilitary m atters. The specimen navy Russia has sent over h ere has beeu fair enough; but h e r antagonists would give her uo use for it. She has nothing to induce an alliance with France, except her am bition or her fear. They have nointerests in common. T h a t Russia should take up wilh France, in her present state, if not intending to make a BCape-goat of her, is proof of her extrem ity or impolicy. If ’tis weakness to be wroth with weakness, m uch more is it weakness to strike hands with weakness. As to France’s condition, it goeB far to mako an offensive allianco incredible, if the facts of every day did not toach that common sense and France parted company a good while ago. Her first policy, duty a n d neces sity, is Peace. But it would be just like her to rush her head agaiust Prussia again, had aho the slightest encouragement. The coun try oould not fight the smaller German States, let alone the chief, in her pre sent condition. She ia next to bank rupt, occnpied still by enemy’s troops, torn by disaffection, saddled with Provisional govcrnmeut, aud harried to death to buy hor im m u n ity from Germany. She has wrongs and defeats to avenge. She absolutely can not avenge them. That renders even a feint to do so erhniual and suicidal. She must wait fifty years to be able to cope with Gor- many. Ere that time wars o u ght to have come to an end. By encouraging au overture for alliance from Russia, she has committed blunder which even Italy waa wise enough to avoid in declining Austria’s invitation to alii ance. The Germau-Austriau alliance may havo mount mischief for Russia. It m eant nono for France. No Europeau nation is bo poor as to do her either reverence or injury. Italy wisely resolved to let tbo big boys fight or fume it out among themselveB. By colloguing with Russia. France hub won the distrust of Prussia aud A u stria in place of their disposition and in terest to let her alone. I t would be in con sonance with the little wisdom that always has governed France on war and alliance m a t' ters, if even Russia should succeed in divert ing upon her the thunderbolts Germany and Austria were forgiug for the Ctear. All lovers of their kind will hope no war will come out of the clouds of conference which overhang Europe, All thinking men will perceive that i f wax Bhould come, the de feated would not bo tho victors of last Au- turn and of the recent Spring.

T h o N o w Y o r k F u l t o n F e r r y O b s t r u c tio n s * The people of Brooklyn and their official representatives, having asserted the rights of the city in aud to thtf publio thoroughfares as against the encroachments of the Union Ferry Company, should now seriously con sider m easures of relief from, the obstructions lo travel a t the other term inus of tho Fulton Ferry, m aintained by privato individuals aud corporations with the connivance, indeed with the express consont of thb Now York authorities. If thero be no romody under existing laws ifc is quite time one were provided. Of the ferry house encroachment it m u st be said that it was at least claimed to prom ote the public conven ience, b u t tho o b structions on the other sido are not ovon p retended to sorvo such au ond. On the contrary, ifc is difficult nofc to believe that they are positively d esigned to embarrass communication botween the cities and thus interpose au obstacle to em igration to Brooklyn. Such a purpose would be entirely in harmony with fche settled policy of o u r uuneighborly neighbors toward us. If the m ain metropolitan gateway to our chief ferry nVonue wero a broad, ample, well-kept and architecturally-attractive approach, who does not seo that the annual accessions to our resident population would bo f a r greater even than thoy now are ? New York conceives ifc her interest to discourage such accessions. Henco the narrow, churlish system of which those obstructions are a mean and petty incident. While they aro contem p ti ble in their character, they are by no means contem ptible in their consequences. I t is n o t too m uch to say that thousands of peoplo, seeing tbe difficulties a n d discomforts to be encountered in the journey between the cities, are deterred from m aking Brooklyu their home. If, instead of being what ifc now is, tho principal ferry term inus wero tho well laid out, regulated, and appointed place it m ight easily be made, theso thous ands would forthw ith becomo our cit- i, and other thousands would soou join thom. Not only are persons who incline to Brooklyn dissuaded from comiug, b u t many who are here are subjected to loss of tim e nnd other annoyances in avoiding Fnlton Ferry em barrassments. Large num bers of people, who would find that ferry with its converging car lines and close com m unication with business centres most con venient, now go out of their way, at consid erable cost in delay nnd trouble, to other ferries, to escape the several nuisances New York has planted or perm itted to flourish on the other side of the river. W hat those n uisances are the people know r.o well that wo n eed n ot describe them at length. T h at gigantic nuisance, the foul-smelling market, wo have referred to several tim es lately ; b u t there aTo others. F u lton and South streets, which constitute the ferry neighborhood, are narrow thoroughfaros at best. Two car lines and a stage lino perm anently operate to choke the otherwise crowded travel of occasional passing vehicles of all kinds, those con cerned in the business of the water front and the most frequented street running between tke North and East Rivers, as well as those going to and from the ferry. The expediency of p e rm itting the car-tracks to be laid ju s t where they are is questionable; but if publio accommodation justifiod the perm ission ifc ia plain that all o ther and unnecessary obstruc tions should be rigidly prohibited. Yet so different is the policy persisted in that n o where else in the city is more freedom af forded to the bushwhacking pedlers, who lie in wait for the traveler on the highway and impede his progress with a challenge to pur chase, and the free-trading hucksters, whose idea of free-trade involves trading on the sidewalks freo of rent. Ifc is impossible to pass on either side of Fulton street without encountering and being obstructed by thece traders whom the New York a u thorities,them selves preying upon the public in a large way, perm it to pTey npon tho public in a small way. Recently one of theso free-booting, bushwhacking hucksters has b een allowed to build a large and perm a n e n t house iu the streot at the most crowded cornor. From these varied obstructions it is hardly too much to say that the people of Brooklyn sus tain at the hands of the New York rulers an aggregate loss equal to the am o unt stolen by thoso rulers from New Yorkers. Now is there no remedy for this gross and long continued outrage, which no citizen, however fam iliar with it, can wit ness without feeling his blood, quicken with indignation ? I t is useless to appeal to the New Y ork Ringleaders. “While they have been “ beautifying” spots of gronnd in various parts of the city at a cost rating at millions of dollars an acre, they have p erm itted tho ap proach to the chief thoroughfare to Brooklyn to rem ain in a condition disgracef ul to civiliza tion. Is ifc worth whilo to apply to the Legis lature for relief for tbe tens of thousands of persons who daily cross the Fulton Ferry ? Certainly the attem p t ia w orth m aking, although tho past course of the Legislature in gard to conflicting interests of fche two cities does not prom ise m u ch for tho future. Of course illegal action m u st bo deprecated, and we cannot afford to establish the precedent of a Vigilance C o m m ittee; but if a band of outraged citizens, dis guising themselves in the fashion of fche Boston Tea P a rty ot the Revolution, should organize a Brooklyn Armada, and, cross ing the East R iver Borne dark night, tear down every huckster’s stall and sidewalk bcolh and raze the rotten old m arket itself— even those who condemned the proceeding most emphatically would concede that, if ever lyuch law and mob violence could be justified, the New York Fulton Ferry obstruction out rage comes as near as possible to supplying such a justification. B u t let us exhaust our legal rem edies and seo if others cannot be provided. The tim e for p rotest on this sub ject is past and the hour for efficient action has come. T h e N o r w a l k A c c i d e n t * Not long ago we directed attontion to fcho dangers of the excursion fleet, composed as it is of condemned hulks. Steamers worn out in the regular service, after getting them selves so well known sb worthless th a t tho public of established routes will nofc travel ®n them, are repainted and turned out aa elegant and first-class pleasure boats, on which unsuspecting people are invitod to go down the Bay to possible death. Yesterday that veteran floating ghost of New York waters, the Norwalk, supplied us with an illustration. We are not sur prised ot it. We are r a ther surprised that ifc was nofc supplied sooner. Tho Norwalk was one of the cases in point m entioned in the warning article referred to. We recalled the peculiarities of this ancient and mouldy craft—her curious habits of capsizing, col lapsing and colliding. Those who find themselves involuntarily giving a cer tain personality to boats would readily distinguish the venerable Norwalk by idiosyncrasies of character developed apparently as regularly as traits iu a human being. No other c raft whose nam e is recorded on the register h as behaved so strangely as the Norwalk. Her eccentric perform ances— her topsy-turveyings, her smaahings-up, and tho various catastrophes she seems de liberately to have sought—may provo that she really has more intelligence and conscience than her owners and, knowing that her d&ysof safe usefulness are ended, takes this method of hinting the propriety of being dismantled and taken to pieces, or finally laid u p in ordi nary. I t was tim e for her to accomplish another accident, although wo really thought the Rip Van W inkle would anticipate her. The R ip is another naval gem from the marine antique. We reviewed her history of thirty years, or thereabout, in our aocount of the excursion fleet. T h a t Bhe finished the fishing season without going to the bottom on the Cholera Banks no doubt astonished her owners, as ifc did thoBo who havo obsorved her career. For tho p resent the public is safo from hor, but her turn is quito likely to come next yoar, when, regilded and redecorated, b u t far from reconstructed, she is advertised as a superb pleasure steamer. Yesterday’s accident was unique—happening to fclje Norwalk it could not bo anything else. Ifc is nofc clear that thero was an explosion. The crazy concern which served as a n engine seems to havo aim pjy gone to pieces. The machino waa not strong onough to hold together u n dor the forco of its own aotion. As noar as can be ascertained from the engineer’s story, the upward movement of tho piston rod (perhaps a little livelier than usual under a sudden impulse o f enthusiasm on the part of the su perannuated c raft) c arried away the oross-head and tore off the top o f the cylinder. The escap ing steam did no damage, but tho p iston ,was pulled o u t o f the cylinder and dashed about the cabin nnd lower deok, orushing the woodwork into splinters. Happily the passengers were in other p a rts of tho boat or num erous lives would have boen lost. As ifc waa nobody was hurt—an escape as rem arkable as anything connected with the accident. Wo advise the traveling p ublic to koop an eye on the Nor walk. See if she is not hastily patohed up and put on the Peekskill m o rning lino, where for some years Bho has run a Spring and Fall engagem ent, when tho traffio was not adequate to the support o f the better aud regular boat. H e r next eccentric ex ploit may not be so bloodless. And now that the p leasure trip season is afc an end, before another b egins the composition of the excur sion fleet o u g h t to be officially inquired into, with a view of preventing further and crimi nal trifling with h u m an lifo by exposing ifc to the perils of rotten hulls and rusty boilers. What’s in a name ! Horo are the British pa pers quito occupied with diBcusBion of Profosor Valley’s new m a g n e t ; and as we woll know the New York papers find themselves in news afc any time by reporting tho last head punching receiv ed or administered by our Mr. Varley. The “intellectual department” of the Herald to-day abounds in customary coruscations, of which the following is % fair specimen : It is cot always necessary for a man to say bold thinps in a bold way, and we fear thore aro few minis ters in our day or in this laud who combine the zeal au d independence of Paul with tho meekness and simplicity uud Christian forbearance of this noble eaint. To accomplish this brilliant non sequitur the entire force of the “inteliecfcualdepartment,” tho combined intellectuality of the fifteen cdi- itors of whom tho Herald boasts, must have beeu employed.

The churches aro improving in liborality. A week or two prior to ita Summer vacation, tho Congregational Church, on CUnton avenuo, p a:d up in ono morning its running debt of §15,000, which had boon arranged through preceding years, but which had never boen met. Our re ports show that yesterday another churoh, on the occasion of its rededication, contributed 823,600, more than enough to discharge its float ing debt incurred at its erection, a little less than a year since. It becomes a mattor for imitation that $3,000of this sum goes towardpaying the city aBseBsmont for Nicolson pavement laid iu frout of the church and itachapel. Litigious citizens on Schermerhorn and other streots cannot do hotter than do likewise. This practice of spongiug out a debt a t once is the beBt plan altogether. The only 6ound basis for a church, or for any other institution or interest, is tho cash basis. Yet it by comparison a remarkable event for a church to quash its debt a t once. The churches of Bev. Dr. Stone, Rev. Dr. Badingfcon and Rev. Mr. Talmage have set precedents in thia respect which ought to be copied by all. Yesterday presented several phases of the schism in fche ProteBtanfc Episcopal CUurch, on tho p art of those who are conBtnied to be out of relations with the authorities of that body. In Chicago, Bov. George Thrall, the rector of E man uel Independent Church, in New York, assisted Bev. Dr. Cooper to open his Independent Epis copal Church, wherein the “ Union Prayer Book * ia to bo used. In the samo city, Bishop White- house paid an official visit to the church whereof Rev. Mr. Cheney is rector. That gentleman and his wardens, all of whom adhere to his side, mot the bishop, b ut he declined to confirm candidates for membership with Mr. Cheney as presenter of them, and read a protest reciting Mr< Cheney’s deposition, and his own necea aity nofc to officiate with him. Mr. Cheney m et the biBhop in surplice bands aud gown, and was informed by the latter that he could not receive him in that garb. Possession remained on tho side of the Chenoyites; proba bly both parties expected that would occur whioh did; each afc least acted in harmony with an antic ipated disagreement. Rev. Mason Gallagher, Mr. Thrall’s associate, and like him recently of Brooklyn, officiated afc Emanuel Church, New York, using the revised prayer book. Beforo do ing so, ho read a letter to Bishop Potter credita bly announcing his resignation aa a proachor of fcho P rotestant Episcopal Church. Reciting the well-known reasons which impel him to tako tho step, ho also says : I have been unwilling to terminato my connection with this branch of the Churcb, inasmuch >ib I am firmly persuaded that tho section of Episcopalians with whom 1 sympathize legitimately ropreuout the martyred founders of the Church of England, while thoso op posed to us are not iti sympathy with tho viows of tho original compilers of the Prayer Book; the oue repre senting the Evangelical, tbe other tho Sicramoutar.au system of Christianity. Two systems irreooucilably opposed, as ably shown iu a ohargo of our venor- abio presiding Bishop entitled, “ Tho Evangelical aud Sacramental iau Systems compared.” Thu completion of tho Revised Book of Common Prayer, so carefully p repared by some of o n r best di vines u n d er the titlo of tho \Union Prayer Boob,\ which approves itsolf to zny Judgmont by its greator simplicity, fullness, aud clearer Scriptural statement of doctrine, aud its adoption by tbe congregation with wbich I am connected, foroes me to an Immediate de cision. I shall henceforth use the lator and amendod book. Tbis necessitates my resignation as a minister of the Protestant Episcopal Church or my ongagomcnt iu coutrovcrpy. Of thi* there has been enough already to the prejudice and hindrance of the cause of our Muster. Our branch of the Church has enough re sponsibility to meet now in this matter. It will be soen that Rev. Messrs. Thrall, Galla gher and Coopor especially avoid controversy, and set up for themselves as Congregational Episcopalians. Mr. Cheney prefers to fight the churoh within tho churoh. J oppa A ssociation .—T h is is an assooiation which has been formed from tho Joppa Lodgo, F . a’nd A.

C ubtekne , Wyoming Territory,) August 28, 1871. D e a r E a g l e : — -Cheyenne (pronouncedShy- yan,) is tho politioal and commercial oentro of tho tor- iltory, situated as it is in the valley of Crow Croek, at the base of tbo Black Hills, flvo hundred miles from Omaha and the same from Salt Lako CUy. It contains about 2,500 inhabitants, (counting the hotel registers about meal time), flvo or six hundred of whioh are womon, holding the balance of power botweon tho po litical parties, whloh seem pretty evenly dividod. Struggling with tho suffrage b urden, striving for polit ical life and recognizance, and getting nothing from oither p a rty but h its and blows, tho ond is not yet. At presont they soem to lean mostly toward tbo Ropub lican side, and a few of tho PLUCKY DAMES HELD A CAUCUS last night, called a meeting for to-night to elect dele gates to nominato some of thoir numbor for the Legis lature, and one to look out for their interests in the coming campaign, and to see about running a split ticket for city offices. Getting the cold shoulder from the Democrats, they a re very likoly to go over en masse to Governor Campbell, wbo holds, of course, tho Government patronage, and is “ a love of a man,” so they say; yot I never learned that be mado auy parti cular favoritism for tbem. Looking at tbo question from all sides, I am of the opinion that w om a n ’ s su f f r a g e is a f a i l u r e h e r e , as it would bo elsewhere, whorevor mon is strongest, and thut is p retty generally everywhere. Although the women of this Territory show tliomBclvcs alive, aud keenly alive, to their interest?, yet I beliovo if it wore not for the political dead beats at Washington, aud tbe military cormorants to he provided for, this little Ter ritory would soon go over to Colorado, neck and heols; and women, jackosaeo, m o untains and minerals, aud Governor Campbell would have to subside. I huvo tried to look gravely a t thla’fluffraga question right here in its native ugliness and sober stronghold, whero its practical workings show tbo plainest, and though thero ia uothiog to complain of iu tho process, yet before it becomes universal man will have to bo moie generous, and women leas ignorant of tbo great machinery of government, as well as bettor educated in tbe lesser law of self government, and all possess more religious tolerance. But let tbe dear souls amuso themselves SITTING ON JURIES and being made nominol Justices o f the Peace, so long thoy do n ot neglect tho small d uties of life—and yon may bo sure man will nover let them forgot thorn as long as thoro is a n u rsing bottlo to bo h ad this sido of California. Talkmg about tbo baby question, I havo n o t seen b u t ono infantile while horo. That was a small boy playing with a tamo antelope in tho streot, soon to ba cut up iuto steaks for o u r breakfast at tbo hotel ( t mean tbe antelope, not the boy—for steak), and that brings mo to think whether there aro no ohildren born in the ter ritory, or if they are all farmed out to some “ Heathen Cliiuoe” to nurse some imaginary mother, or jackass, aud GROWING INTO BTRONG MINDED WOMEN somewhere on tho side of an iron mountain or fabled rill, gamboling with the Prairio dog and owl, while “ Ah Sin” sits calmly by intent on his p ersonal clean liness. Forgive this digression of maternal instinct, and pass on to the many points of interest in Choyonne proper. First and foremost you ore tumbled oat, head first, onto tho p lotiorm of th© station, ond ot once perceive tbat the great Union Paclfltf road outs right in two a vast plain of sand, and tho engine drinks, and the peoplo eat their d inners hero, wait for the train from Omaha and rush on, with tho Denver train iu full chose an lieur behind. The California freight train follows, leaving behind tho odorous tropical perfum o of peaches, grapes, and such luscious pears as mako you catch your breath to remombcr distinctly—at each sta tion box on box everywhere. Soon yon will flee the carriages and freight wagonB from Fort Bussell, (about three miles from Choyenne with a garrison of throe hundred men) carrying off fche spoils to eat, to make lifo tolerable in tbis Saharan dc*ert. Casting your eyes toward each point of tho compass and beyond the basin of sand, you bohold nothing but eudless b arren, blpak brown bills with n o t even b u n ch grass to cover thoir deformity, dotted here and thero by a lean cow, a huge wator tank or u windmill. I ’ve heard THE WIND blow coastwise, but this wind beats all creation. Whistling and ruBhing, it fills your oyea, nose, and mouth with fino sand, penetrates tbo vory bono and marrow of tho body till lifo soems a burden, blowing your nose a general business and crying a n a tural oc cupation. Hero in the midst o f a few h u n d red badly built houses blooms the loveliest of his kind, Governor Campbell, and il' I did not interview tho dear man for threo mor tal h o u rs, may I be Bhut u p for lifo in the prospective penitentiary to bo b u ilt a t Laramie. But you seo tho man is used to i t ; has nothing else to do b u t Ustcu to every woman’s tongue wag iu tho town, and the way of it was th i s : I bad questioned evory ono about the hotel and found out b u t littlo; and u n d erstanding that there were threo newspapers printed and sold in tho place, I concluded to p u rsue knowledge to ita fouutain head. Henco I struck a beo lino for a sign midway in air, with tho enticing words of “Tribune Offico,” and found a new rough board shanty, and TWO MEN W ITHIN SETTING TYPE with great deliberation, a nico bald-headed man sitting at a tablo reading proof with a cigar w his mouth, and a neat p air of boots on said tablo along with exchanges and bad copy. I seated myself in a rickety chair timidly enquiring if there was any knowledge in tbot institution, whereat tho typos turned and simultaneously pointed at the bald-headed man saying “ Tho Gov. knows,” and so ho d id know enough to invite me around to his office. Here, pointing with his white seal-ringed finger to the coal mines and the Indian reservation, he showed how ho proposed making war on tho men aud captivating the squaws to yoto tor him when tbe Terri tory should becomo a State. I thought one thing about as likely as the othor aud kept silence. Remembering all he said, I quite forgot to discribe THE GOVERNOR as a small well mado man of thirtv-oight or forty, with clear complexion, brown beard, blue steadfast oyea, a bit inclined to fullness, with a m ilitary air of nentncs3 and precision, without any fussiness or arrogance. Ho seemed genial aud kiud, cxpreeeod himself clearly aud favorably as to tbo suffrage question, yot appeared much like a mau trying to sit on two stools at oucc. Ho may fiud himself floorod ono of these days by sonic live Democrat liko Billy Bteelo on Tommy Stuart, his sworn foes. Toward Denvor about half way from this place, is located the im m o rtalplautatiou of GREELEY CITY get by tho wise philosopher iu tho flattest of fiatlauds, near a small branch of tho Platte River. Here the groatsoul of Horace expanded aud budded iuto full pcifectiun boforo whoso giant growth of pumpkins and beans tho Sage o f Chappaqua’s experiments were but child’s play, There tho sweet passion of his lifo, I r r i gation, took shape and form in diverse little m u d puddles, crossing aud recrossing, iu squares and triangles intersected with little strips of fading green, which, somo poople hero called corn and potatoes. I actually paw a fow shcave3 of oats, yes, Norway oats, Horace calls them, ond ono mau spent the most of his .Summer raising a sunflower, because be w&utcd a shade by tho door, and its seed for tho hons, wbich were yet iu embryo, to b e transported by baud to Greeley. A few shrubs of the cotton trco and trembling ash, a n u mbor of flat cottages pointless and bare, a fow sm art men about, and a g reat n u m ber of stupid emigrants witb hobnailed shoes and velveteen breeches, many tow-headed, nearly breecklcsB chil dren, with rlmlcesbats, a few public houses which take in und do for strangers, where they sell tho vilest whisky privately, calling it “ boverigo” or “ small larger,” a placo where there ia more whisky d runk and cards played, MORE AWFUL PROFANITY (vido the g reat excmpler) than in any place this sido of the Rocky Mountains. Whp.t a delusion for the poor emigrant who spent his pile iu coming—leaving all tho beautiful prairie and Kansas farms behind, to settlo in this God-forsaken place—io find that what Horace “knew about farm ing” was n o t sufficient to suable uim to cheoao a placo whero i t would tain now and then by way of eucour&gement to tho mush and milk of a man’* life.

The F rench Commission on re-organization of the army have drawn u p a plan which bids fair to place Francoon an equality with Gormany, if not indeod to restore her old p restige of having the strongest army in Europe. But it will cost larger sums o f money than in her crippled condition France seems able to pay. The plan is: To sweep away tbo existing inequalities in favor of the rich by declaring all Frenchmen liablo for military service, abolishing all exemptions except ono, in favor of (he only son o f a widow, and prohibiting the pur chase of substitutes. The very root of tiio indisoi- plino in tho French army, tho notion araoDg the mon that h ad they been rioh they should uot havo been forced to serve; that they are slaves, not to Franco, but to tho rich, is eradicated by this measure, which makes the national burden obli gatory on all, and restores the prestige of moral ju s tice to a law which has for years, u n u o r tho system of accepting payment instead of servico, exempted the rich from their duty at tho cost of tho blood of tho poor- tiuch exemption is fair enough if tho poor man c h o r e s it, or if tho priec of exemption is graduated according to means; b ut If tbe poor man is compelled to servo or pay up two years* income, while tlio rich man is only asked to serve or pay u p two mouths, the iujustioo be comes too palpable for human uuturo to bear. Thu ha- bility is to last nominally from twenty to forty year* uf age, b u t the real liability, except in curo oi invasion, will ho only from twenty’to thirty, and during tho last six years of thia term tho soldier will only bu culled up from civil lifo a i tho L&ndwebr aro in tbo event of most serious war. Tho term of li:e iu barracks will bo ouly four years, nud it is theroforo calculated tlmt the Army of F rance, the army actually available, will never ex ceed 750,000 mon, behind whom, however, will be rauged by 1881 a million of passed soldiers still under thirty yeara of ago- POLAND STILL LIVES. A grand Polish demonstration has boou held iu Aus trian Poland, in which leading Poles from Prussian Po land and Rnseian Poland fraternized with tho Poles of Austrian Poland, and all united in insisting that their nationality survives and in demanding tho cession of the Polish provinces seized by Russia and Prussia, to tbe Austrian Empire, that, joining Austrian Poland in one kindom, Poland, like Hungary, might obtain union and self-government u n d e r the uow comparatively mild sway o f tho Em p ire o f Austria. If, as Booms possible, Russia and Germany are going to q u arrel over tho af fairs of Roumania, and Germany dreads Franco taking the p a rt of Russia, whilo Russia fears Austria taking sides with Germany, tho Austrian Em p eror may bocomo iu a position to stipulate for the fulfillment of the na tional will of the Poles as the price of his neutrality in the noxt European war. This would bo a grand achievement, at onco restoring liberty and union to th® most cruelly oppressed of nations, and strengthening tho most liboral a n d least despotic of European em pires. AUSTRALIAN MOBUONISM— WILL THERE BE A NEW MAHOMET ? The London Spectator tells o f a mon namod Flaher, in Melbourne, Australia, who olaims to bo tho Messiah. He doea uot appear to havo any uow religiou othor than tbe blank fact that he, Fisher, was an Incarnation, not only o f Jesus, but of King David also, and In tho Litter capacity entitlod to bavo just four wives. Ho does not seom to have preached polygamy, uxo«>t for himsolf, or to have started any new system ol morality, o r to havo propagated a creod o f any kind, except thattho Bible was literally true throughout, uud that ovory person now alive was the reproduotiou or rathor incar nation of some Biblical personage-tho father o f his threo wives, for instance, boing Abraham. Tho Spec tator discusses whether tbe world ia over likely to see auy new Mahomet or Joe Bmith p rophet propagandist. It says: Indeed, we hardly know clearly why the world haa so completely given u p expecting this kind ot religious movement, ln Asia all the old conditions aro every where present, and any descendant of Mohammed might, for aught observers can percoivo, upset half Asia by a claim to be au im am, and theroforo to de mand unquestioning obedience. If ho took tho pre caution to arm his followers beforo claiming fcho throne, aDd did not worry hhnuelf about artillery, be might lay hold of very broad territories, as indeed we wore re cently told by very competent authority the Moham medans of Western China have dono. In India, as we pointed out lost week, our Govorameut is perpetually exposed to this risk, which might at any hour bo real ized in a form involving hoavy calamities to tho Empire. Even in the West, among the huge and superstitious masses of Russia, and our own millions of ignorant men, thero is room for a religious impostor of tbo antique type, tbe type that claims earthly sovereignty; and we rather wonder that no attempt of tho kiud has of late yearn been made. Society ia very stTong, it is true, and it is very difficult for fanaticism to purchase or to use the ehassepot; but an imposter of mark, with an attrac tive idea suoh as equality, and a brain, say, aa good as Brigham Young’s, might obtain hosts of followers without coming into immediate oolliaion with the Government, or, indeed, into armed collision at all. Only threo things would be necessary to bim, if wo may judge from tho exam ples we bear of in Australia, America, Russia aud Wales, u nhesitating self assertion, a great idea of some sort, equality would do, or if uot equality, then some uew and strong organization of society, and somo rule of civil life, such for ex ample, as the devotion of part of all indivi dual gains to a commou fuud, whieh would be attrac tive to men tired of waiting for their ultimate victory ovfr tho world. The founder of the Taooiug sort, of all men of our timo, fulfilled the conditions most near ly, and if h® bad retained tbe faintest respect for jus tice, o r human life, or civilization, would have over turned the Chinese Empire. With a religious idoa be hind them, the Communists would havo been uncon querable, and no meu boru in Iudia wiil look tbo Mop- lube iu the face. Tbey are never beaten except by E u ropeans, yot tboir impulse is nothing but the old one wbich t-ent the Arabs over the world, a gonuiuo convic tion that if thoy dio in battle with the infidel they go at once to heaven. What is thore iu the hurauu mind and its progress which should prevent that idea from tak ing root onco more 7 FOLLY OF FRENCH PROTECTIONISTS. Endorsing tho foolish adhesion o f M. Thiers to tho exploded doctrine of a protoctivo tariff, his followers have gone so far aa to levy a tax of eight francs per head on every foreignor travelling in Franco. Tho h o tels and railroads wero just oxpecting a crowd of tour ists wbo would make up to them the losses of tho war, when suddenly the unlucky Frenchm en behold thG main c u rrent d iverted by tho suicidal policy of tho p ro tectionists. Ifc broko agaiust those unlucky eight francs, aud the French look on at the golden tide sweeping round by tboir frontiers and fattening the rich soil of the Netherlands. Nay, more, M. Thiers’ unhappy stroke of financial ingeuuity actually subsidizes tho de tested Teuton. The wealthy travellers who would have gone to France this Summer to spend thoir monoy, go to Germany instead. TBE ROYALIST AB8EMBLYMEN AT VERSAILLES.

The following is a lively description of tho av erago M onarchist Aespmblyman: Generally tbe member of the Right is a nobloman, either duke o r count, aud, lest you Bhould forget this or confound bim in any way with the spurious dukes or counts such as tboso which tho Bonapartea created, he has a imiuuer of holding his head a t half-cock, aud of sitting 'down in a deliberate stately mauuor which impels tho bystauder to inquire, “ Qui est ce mon sieur V” For all this lie is good uivtured, ami unless you be a polUieul opponent you may find him uot uu- affable. Only bis is peculiar affability, and tho humor of hia conversation is peculiar humor. Evor since bis boyhood—and he is now fifty o r sixty—tho duko or count has lived In hia chateau surrouuded by what ro- maius of his ancestral proporty, that i3 perhaps 50) acres, and kcoping on strictly Bulky terms with tho prevailing government. Under Louis Philippe it was his great amusement to take tbe names of tbo retired grocers aud others who wore made poors of Franco, and to christeu his pigs after them; duriug tho Em p ire he made a point of Rotting up every Sunday aud leaving the churcb, with bis family, at the first words of the prayer, “ Dominie salvum fa c imperato - rein.” Cool, intrepid and obstinate, n o thiug will shake bis belief that tho whole of Frauco iB anxiously awaiting the return of tho Bourban3 and his—the dnko’s or count’s—accession to somo post of honor.

Tho procession Btopped a t the vestibule, whilo tho minis ter recited a prayer aud tho choir made a respous?, then tbe procession woufc u p the centre aisle toward tbo altar, behind which was tho roceptaolo for the saerod scrolls, covered with heavy damask curiataa.

Ho wcut through this performance on the sunds on Monday afternoon vritn his u sual success, but while in tho act of lifting tbe cannon to lower it he slipped and fell. The whole weight of tho cannon fell on b is face, splitting bis skull completely in two. Death, of course, was instantaneous. HOW CHINESE MAKE BOGUS TEA FOR EXPORTA TION. A correspondent in China thus refers to the adultera tion of tea with animal d u u g : It is not, perhaps, generally knowu that of lato years, owing to the g reat demand for tea, and tho difficulties utteudiug iis cultivation and transport, caused by the general disturbance throughout China, an inuucuinont baa been held o ut to tbo Ouineso of tbo lowest class to resort to tho practice of proparing tho used toa leaves so as to make them resemble the marketable tea.

A fter a vacation o f ten weeks, a scattering abroad over the whole length a n d breadth of tho land, and in some instances over oceans and in foreign climes, tbe officers, and teachers, and scholars of the Sunday School 'attached to Plymouth Church yester day returned to, and gathered again, in their o ld reli gious home and household, around which such delight ful memories and such sweet associations cliDg. What a virtue there m u st be in tho object and nurpose, and what power in the affections, that impels to the dis charge of suoh duties oa this work demand. Yet gen erous youth with kindred spirits come forward oager to lavish tho arduous of noblo labor on tho discharge of duty, and bring t® the causo an earnest sympathy, whieh attests itself in an h u u d red ways. Tho reunion of yesterday a t P lymouth was truly impressive, as such assembly iu auy placo and u n d er any cirouinstauces would bu, aud its significance was apparontly felt and appreciated by oil prosont, from tho Superintendent to tho youngest ot iho ohildren. The attend ance, too, for the first of tho season, was quite large, aud included a goodly num b er of ifiitors wbo filled the galleries. More thau a h u n d red Kilkcu colored flags decorated aud designated tho class- o*, and gavo a Lriliiaut and gay appearance to the fine hull, und tin* choicest of flowers sent a sweet fragrauco to every part. This school registers 1,100 names of scholars, about iwo-lbirds oi whom aro girls, and its teachers num b e r ono hundred ladies aud gontlomen, and luis a regular attendance of soveu h u u d red persons. Ouly one soraion a day is held, and thut at 3 o’clock P.M. IT IS OETICEJ1ED by Captain C. O. Dunltin us Superintendent; O. L. Al len, T reasurer; A. J . Tyler, Socretary, and H, S. Jew ell, ns Librarian. The excroiscs aro always opened by singing tbe 23d Pealrn. The school is furuishod with every oouceivablo oouvoniouco and appliance for its work, including a very large and eholoe library. Tho tiDging ia led by Mr. Camp, and Mr. W. H . Whitney is the organist. After much excellent and inspiriting singing, and thoUbuardovotionaloxerciseB, Mr. Duncan addressed the children in a very pleasing aud affecting m&uper, possessing, as he docs, a rare facility for ad- drestiug an audience. It la len weeks he rem arks sinco we separated, and now wo aro back from our wanderings. Be hoped, tbat tbo reunion was a happy ouo for all. No especial arrungemeuta had been mado for the occasion, ner any particular treat prepared. 'J hero would bo no studies, b u t each and all could Indulge In mutual coiigrutulutlous. “ I t was uow a good tim e,” h e sug gested, to resume tbo post, and go agalu OVER THEIR JOURNEYIKGS, and ho would recommend each to tako a map and mark on its lace in red ink tho places ho haa visited, aqd then tell each o ther of (ho incldeute of their experinaco.

On fcho vosbo I he had good company, and good welcome and good outurtftin- n n n t, aud ull were as bapyiy on tho passage as good people deserve to bo. Mr. Duncan, spoke of th'o PLACES HE VI8ITED and the peoplo ho found, anil recited s great many pleuriiiR incidents of bte (ravels and hl-fcory, and all prorent listened delightedly. Be liked Englaud very much and America much more, and recognized in Brooklyn tho place of all others whero lifo is most worth living. He spoke at longth of tho groat p reacher Spur geon, wbom ho met toveral times. He was uot, the Captain said, tbo least like o u r Mr. Boocber, and ail bis suiroundings were very unlike those to which wo are accustomed. Tho Sunday Schools in thafcoountry wore not to be compared to ours. Two o r three short speeches by Mr. P ratt and others, aome very fino singing, and an appropriate p rayer and benediction b rought tho very lntorcstlug school sosslou to a close. On noxt Sunday, it was announced, work would bo ootnmenood in earnoefc.

Bc-fore proceeding to report tho services, a short state m e n t of the completed improvements may bo o f in terest. When this church was built, due provision was not made in tho plan for the size o f the organ, and consequently, when tho organ was put in its place, a large num ber of seats, commonly oalled tbe “ Amen pews,” were thrown out of view of tho pulpit. Some forty odd seats wore thns rendered practically ineligi ble, and their occupancy has boen a source ot great discomfort to the congregation. To romedy this evil it was found necessary to puroha6e a Btrip of land iu the, rear, seventeen feet in width, with a viow to other improvements. This laud-w a s bought in May last. When tho church was closed, ou tbe 1st of June, the rear wall of the cillfico wub takon out, a suitable fouu- datiou waa made, a u d tho organ, one of unusual size, was carried bodily buck so as to give it A LITTLE HOUSE OF ITS OWN. The face of the organ no v stands even with the walls, and glimpses aro obtained of the recesses at tho sides and in tho rear, that show the neatness and good tasto with which the work has been dono. That which waa beforo very obtrusive oven on its own account, now sustains a subordinate relation to the church buitdlnu, and live huudred people who havo hitherto been denied any comfortablo hearing of tbo Gospel, may now have as desirable seats as them arc in tbe house. Tho “ Amen” seats aro all redeemed, aud seventy now seats have been adaed, in tbo spaco created by tho roliremout oi the organ and pulpit. The seating capacity of tho church is now as follows: Iu pews, 3.5U0; in aisle seata, 500. t o t a l , 4,000. I d the opinion o f architects and muslciaufl, the alter ations and enlargement of this edifice havo uot only very materially enhanced its beauty, b u t bave consid erably improved its acoustic properties. In the re-ar- rangemeut of (he pews, tbe eighteen aisles of the church have been nmde to diverge ia a fan shapo from tho p u lpit as a couiuou contro. This plan so places the pillars upou which the ceiling ro.-its tbat they do uot obstruct tbo view of the pulpit fioin any seat in tb® house. THE REMOVAL OF THE ORGAN,* without its being taken apart,* was effected by its build ers, Messrs. Hooke At Co., of Boston, with such com plete success tbat it was scarcely necessary to retune it. Tbo instrum ent weighs nearly eight tons, and it was changed to its new position by meaus of a jack-screw. Tbe total cost of the enlargement was betweon $4,000 and $5,000, wbich was met by a paid subscription be fore the work begau, tho subscriptions boing by those who hud bespoken soata to be added to tbo ohurcti by tho improvement. / THE KEDKDIOATOllY SERVICES YESTERDAY. Every pow aud all tho isle seats were oocupicd at an early h o u r yosterday m o rning; likewise tho entire area round the rear of the pews, as well as tho threo vesti bules and the elders’ aud deacons’ rooms aud fcho pastor’s study on the left aud right of the pulpit. Thore wero very nearly 5,000 peoplo in and near the building. Mr. George W. Morgan played us opening voluntary, tbe overture to “ Moses iu Egypt,” by Han del, and by bis softer management of tbo organ caused both i t and the organist to appear to much better ad vantage than at times past. At tbo conclusion of tbe voluntary, Rev. Mr. Talmage, the pastor, conducted to the pulpit tbo Rev. S. Ircncus Prime, D„ .D., Presby terian, the editor of tbe New York Observer; Rov, J. Hyatt Smith D. D., of tho Baptist Church, pastor of tho Leo Avenue Baptist Tabernacle; the Rev. Goorgo Crooks, D. D., Methodist Episcopal, tho oditor of tho M cfM ist; the venerable and beloved Rev. Dr. Water bury retired fiom the ministry', but a member of tho Taberuacle congregation; Rev. Stephen H. Tyng, Sr.. D. D., of the Protestant Episcopal Church, rector of St. George’s Church, Now York, and Rev. Dr. Ives, of tho M. E. Church of the Con ference of Central New York. Tho prayer of invocation was delivered by tho pastor who followed by reading tho hymn: “Joy to tho world, tho Lord has come.” Rev. Dr. Perriue theu read tbe losson for tbe morning, tbe 17th Chapter of St. Johu from tho 17th verse, and Rov. Dr. Smith thon followed in tho “ long” prayer. “ Joyfully, joyfully” was then given out, prior to tho staging o f which Rev. T. DoWitt Talmage, tho pusfcor, made a statement to the offect that the re ceipts of the church by voluntary oontributious were $1,(KK) in excess of the disbursements last year, from August, 1870, to August, 1871, d u ring four mouths of which time tbo church was n o t in a condition to boused, being ta process oither o f building or of enlargement, and while the mechanism of tho church was not com petently organized. This year aud for all after years, thoir expenses would be less aud their income m o ro; but tbo facts of the first unorganized year demouslrufc- ed the success of the modified free churcb plan to which they had committed themsolves. He desired this state ment to be an answer to tho thousands of interroga tories addressed him byflcttcr or by word. After tbe byrnu* had beon sung, tho immenso multi tude rising to do it. Rev. .Stephen H. Tyng, D.D., preached a sermon. He took as his toxt tho 20th and and 21st verses of the 17th chapter of St. Jo h n : ‘Neither pray I for these alone; but for them also which shall believo on me through their w o rd: That they ud may be ou e ; as tbou. Father, a r t in mo, and I in thee, that they also may bo ouo iu u s ; tbat the world may believo tbai thou hast sent me.” Theso verses suggested to tho vouerablo preacher fcho oneness of Christ’s Church. It was an oueuess which embraced all deuomiuations hero below and the triumphal Church in Heaven, and was established upou the basis as “thou Father art one in me and I ouo in thee.” Ouo undi vided Church of the Lord Jesus, I salute yen, said tbo preacher, as such, and I proclaim to your brethren thut l'aet, aud say to you all who are journeying for ward, let us press ou to our Father’s home. The preacher loved to repeat, he continued, hia be lie! in tho one Holy Catholic Churoh and communion of t-aiiita. Wherever they fouud tho spirit of God, thero they found the Church o f Christ was. Wbat mil lions will have presented thomsolves beforo God ero tho Sabbath closed to say “ wo aro ono as Thou urt ono ia tho Son and Ho in Theo.” If Christ was truo, ond ho would not stoop to argue tbe quostion, most assuredly the oneness of Christ’s Church was verified m the his tory of mau. All Christians, he hesitated not to assort, were radically one, aud no assumption of man could divide them. Thoy may bo separated by modus, forms, riles and ceremonies, but when spoken to of Jesus Christ they were found to be one. All rcstod on a Sa vior’s borem. The whole world, tiie. preacher wcut ou to hay, stands around the throno of tlie living God, aud proclaim iu words “ blessing, houor aud power te the. Land) forever.” Wherever oue wcut a church was discovered, rooted in Christ, however hunted dowu by human hostility, however cast out by scribes aud Pharisees. Nouc but Christ, he resumed, made the bond w hich keeps all Christians together. TUisuuiou was the most vital of all bonds. Wheu ull things are couBUiucd, it will remain as a thing which muBt last forever. It was a union iu oue iovtagspirit who abides withiu Christian men It was im absolute au eutiro uuity. which excluded uo nationality or portion of mankind. Little, indeed, he added, was thut porson p< BseeHed of the spirit of C b m t who re- nouncHl fellowship with those whowcre deemed precious m God’s sight. This u uity waa an oneness, tlie preacher went on to expluiu, in the possession of u commou glo- rioue hope. I u this liope tho whole host of God’d Church was walking forward, rejoicing iu death as victors over it. The unity of Christ’s Church was again shown in theoncncBs of faith which prevailed, which cannot be shaped by the machinations of meu. Everywhere you find this unity, and I stand hero before my broth ers in the ministry and this vast congregation, who are prepared to take my harnl in unity of faith. Tho man who denies the unity of Christians will fiud himsolf, like tbe prophet of old, rebuked by his own ass. Thoro wero no sects in heaven; iu tbo celestial realm all were Christiana; aud why should they nofc bo such here be low? My pilgrimage Is uow almost fiuisbed; tho shad ows of evening are coming apace. I thank God thut He has preserved mo iu Uis faith from my youth to tbo present bour. I t was, tho speakor said, his mo-d heartfelt wish that tbe congregation before whom he appeared would prosper and spread broadcast tho seeds ot Christ’s Gcepel. HOW TO RAISE A COLLECTION. At tho couclusiou of tho Rev. Dr. Tyng’a address Rev. Benoni Ives proceeded to make “ a few remurke.” Mr. Ives is a very energetio and widely kuown clergy man In tho Methodist denomination, a u u in the course of a somewhat extended experience, (one or two a week for seven years past, he s*id,) has developed such wonderful resources of taloat In obtaining liberal sub scriptions to church funds from largo congregations, that his services for this purpose are in great dcmaud among all ofchodox deuomiuations. His introductory remarks wero substantially as foUows: I most devout ly tnank God that I am perm itted to bo nero this day to take some bumble part iu these vory interesting aud impressive religious services. May Providonce long spare him wbo has so ably addressed us this moruiug. It was anuouuced to you by my brother Talmagc that I would make a few remarks at tho close of Dr. Tvng’s sermon. My remarks will bejperhaps a little more on the practical p art of our holy Christianity. They have allowed my frloud the Rov. Dr. Tyng tochoosoher subject, but they have selected a subject for m t anu that is the flnauces of tho Church. [Sensa tion.] The eutire cost of this beautiful and commo dious Taberuacle, including the ground ou which it stands, wbicb cost at tue time $10,250 (oud was con sidered to bo worth twice or thrice tlmt am ount at the time)—aud including tbo splendid organ aud ovcvything pertaining to Iho building, iB iu rouud numbers $80,000, and I think everybody who knows unything of Church building and tho expenses of such ;vu enterpriBO will say “ well dons.\ There haa beeu paid o r provided for ou this amount (lie sum of $02,001) in round numbers, having us you will see, a balance unprovided for at this time, which is considered a flouting debt, tho sum of $18,000. Added to that thoro is au expense which the trustees could not uvoid, of paving tbo streets, $'3,000 upon which they are now paying ono p ercent, a month. Including that, theu, it leaves a balance which roust bo provided for of $ 2 1 ,000. U'hen tbis is provided for, tho $30,000 for sucb an enterprise as tbis will bo tbo next thing to a church out of debt. Tho luterod of that cau bs easily met, aud with the $21,000 provided for you uro, with the blessing of God, upon a suro foundation. Wo propose before tbo dedicatory prayor is offered to tako up tbis collection of $21,000, that tbis Taberuacle may start off in tta now c a rter of usefulness, glory aud power. Tho great cities of thlp couutry have their eyes upon this Tabernacle. A great many heart*, warmed with tho lovo of Jesus, laymen and ministers, aro throbbing to on- gsgo iu such a work us this, and thoy wait to soe if this is a pucccss. Now, for such a vast assemblage as this to contribute tbe liltlu sum of $21,000, is a very small affair, and really tbo most embarrassing thing to mo is how to dlvido it u p small enough to givo everybody n chance. [Subdued laughter.] Lot mo ask you Qrsfc, as a personal favor, that you will ull remaiu quietly in your seats until wo get through, and that you will so contribute this morning that you shall receive tho blessing of God. Do whatever you do without refer ence to what you have done before. Whafc you have douo beforo does n o t pay auy p a rt of this $21,000. It was a good thing to go o ut of Egypt, b u t ifc was a good deal better to go over Into Canaan. Now, for conve nience B&ko, I nave dividod tbis u p . I have thought that, on tbo coudition that tbo ontiro $21,000 was rained—and, of courso, wo would nofc disgrace this largo audience by supposing ifc could n o t be raised—there would bo at least twenty persons in tbis groat audiouco who would givo FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS EAOH. Now we will raise tho $21,000 o r we wo won’t take a dollur. Fledges will be taken on this condition, that the entire amount of $21,000 is to bo provided for o r no subscription is to bo paid. Now,\ B a id tho speakor, turning to Mr. Talmnge, “how do you like th a t?” “ l h a t ’fl right,” replied tlio pastor. “ Thore,” resumed Mr. Ives, I have got tho sanction of your pastor. [A buzz o f applause.] Tho Reverend pastor was the flrst subscribor for $500. “ Now, wbo next—speak out freoly.” Goorgo Dale $500. J. E. Pearsall, $500. A friend of the church, h y , $500. “ Tbunk you,” said Mr. Ives, “ Bless tho Lord, wo appreciate friends at this tlrao. Our friends will increase » b wo get out of debt.” [Laughter.] After several more $500 subscrlptious there was a lull, “ Go ou,” said Mr. Ives, who will bo tho noxt ono? I want to make u p tbo twouty $500 pledges, I havo got it all figured out, and I desire very muoh tbat you will make it como out rigbt.” After anothor namo or two, ho said, HERE, YTE HAVE NOT THE NAME OF A LADY yot. You know the Bible eays It is not good for mnn to bo alone, (Qomo persons wore leaving (ho bouse.) If you cannot help u s by your money you ought to con sent to stay if the services last all day. You should help ns by your presence.” Again— “ Now ifc very often occurs that some one is very anxious to be the last ono of tho twenty. Who will tako num ber 20 7” A voice said, “ I will.” One or two more uames were added. People continued to leave the church. “ No friend of tbo Tabernacle,” said Mr. Ivos “ will leave till the service is closed ; you cuu set that down. Is there another o n e? I supposed tbis would be taken in a very few momenta.” The next plan resorted to was making $500 subscrip tions of two at $250 each. Tho novelty of going in pairs was sustained with considerable interest. Whilo this was pending Rov. Mr. Ives read the following note, wbich was received apparently from Bov. J. Hyatt Smith, ou the p lutform : $ 2 5 0 ACCEPTED FOB A BAPTL3TBY. “ A party wbo sympathizes in this movoment and believes that a free ohnrch is a step toward leveling all sectarian distinctions will give $250 lor tbo purposo of placing a baptistry in this building.” Mr. Ives turned to tho pastor witb a puzzled expres sion of countenance. “ Wo accept tbat offer. It shall be dono,” quickly responded Mr. Talmage. Mr. DoWitt of BclleviJlc, N. J., one of the oarlicsfc friends of Mr. Talmage, subscribed $250. Mr. Ives—WeU, we are glad to adm it Now Jersey iuto tbis Union, [Laughter,] A few miuutea ^previously, of several anecdotes re lated by Mr. Ives, be h ad spokon of a young man wbo was present at somo convention where a collection was taken and subscribed $100 for THE WIFE HE EXPECTED TO BAVE. “ I will give $250 for the wife I have got,” sold a gen tleman in tbo audience. “ Thank you, s ir,” said Mr. Iv e s ; “ no doubt it’s cheap enough.” Finally seventeen of the twenty $500 subscriptions were reached, tbe “ pairs ” of $250 boing counted iu, Mr. Talmago took $250 more for his wifo. Others woro taken. A gentleman said, “ I will give $250 for my wife’s m o ther.” “ Amen!” exclaimed Mr. Ives; “ may the Lord bless you and your wife’s mother.” 1 he tweuty subscriptions wero in. “ Now, that’s ouc half tho eutire amount, you sec,” said Mr. Ivoi*'. I bad arranged for tweuty porsuus who would give $200 each, b u t I think we will skip that, aud take filty persons ftt $100 each.” These subscriptions begun so lively that Mr. Ives felt constrained to say: “ There, don’t get excited ; don’t get excited.” Noticeable amoug them wero two subscriptions of Stt’O each ‘from tho Fleet street and DeKalb avenuo 51. E. Churches, aud $100 from tho Dutoh Reformed Churcb. A $500 subscription camo in among them but was n o t repealed. As imporfeotly noted by the K aglk , reporter, tbo amount of these footed about $1,000. While they were being taken, Mr, Ives made an affec tionate INQUIRY FOR THE SMITHS, BROWNS AND JONES’fl, noDe of whom had as yet p u t in an appearance. Mr. Talmage said ho supposed tbero m u st bo 800 youug meu ta tbo audieuce who smoked cigars, lie didn’t. He couldu’t stand it. But he supposed tbey spent a hundred dollars a year on tbis luxury. \T h a t,” said Dr. Ivca, “ Ib the reason you don’t indulgo.” [Un- suppre.-sed merriment.] After tbe $100 subscriptions were all in thero fol lowed a loug list ol fifties; then $25 and smaller sums. Among then® boou appeared the name of Brown. “ Thank the Lord.” exclaimed Mr. Ives, evidently mucU relieved, ‘‘now whcie are tbe Sm iths?” The very next subscription was by a member of tbo Smith family, a fact tbat excited considerable mirth. One of tho $100 subscriptions was mode u p thus: A friend iu New York, with a wife and three children, $20 each. ‘‘.May tbe Lord bless bim still more in tiio same direction,\said M r.Ives. . At thit rate tho collections ran up rapidly, till a sum was got which convinced thoso officiating that they could secure the balance d u ring tbe residue of the day. At the conclusion of tne morning collection a dedica tory prayer was olfored by Rov, Dr. 8. Ireuou* Prime, and tbe audience was dismissed with a benediction, de livered by Rov. Dr. Crookes. IN THE AFTERNOON. In the afternoon the Tabernacle was thronged. Tho Sunday Schools of the church, under the charge of Mujor li. R. Corwin, ussemblod with tbeir teachers and officers to the num b er of about a thousand, and the patrons of the schools and friends found room m dif ferent p arts of thu building outsido of tho pillars. An address wbb delivered by itev. J . H. Vincent, D. D., of tbo M. E. Churoh, on “ Old and new methods of Sab bath School work.” The address was reiuark&blj able aud interesting. I t received tbo closoat attention, and was etijoyod ia an unusual degree. Other addresses were delivered by Rev. Dr. Ives and by Rov. T. DeWitt Talmagc. The latter spoke very briefly. The former at greater leugth, s n d tho schools, under tbe impetus of his words, redeemed the promises mado by teachers iu tbeir behalf iu tbo morning by ratting the $1,500 to which they were pledged, to whioh they added $300 more of their own option, making $1,800 in all for the schools. IN THE EVENING. At tho Tabernaclo in tho ovoning the doors loading to the streets had to be kept opon, and the iieopio massed on tbe block on which the building is located, as well as packed tbe inside of the edifico. Any com putation of num bers would be out of the question. Rev. Drs. Hall, of thia city, aud Viucout, of Philadel phia, and tho indisponsuble Dr. Ives, occupied tbo p u l pit with the pastor. Mr. Talmage preached a very powerful sermou ou the text, “ Wbat owost thou to thy Lord?” It was homely, p ractical and earnest, inter spersed with passages oi great eloquence. At its closo Rev. Dr. Ives resumed bis collecting duties, anuouu- cing that the sum raised in tbe m oruiug was slightly over $16,000, and that $5,000 more were uecdcd to com plete the extinguishment of tho debt of fcho church. By every appliunce of solicihttiou, comparison, anec dote, exhortation, and so forth, elsewhere spoken of in connection with the m o rning’s subscriptions, the con gregation, after characteristic deliberation, rapidly subscribed, as accurately as could bo ascertained, $7,G<H) odd, making about $23,COO contributed duriug tho day, $2,COO more than was needed, aud thus more than clcariug the debt of tbe church, after lees than a year o f its erection, and that church with an edifice enlarged during that period, and redodicatod. At tbo announcement of tbe gratifying aud comploto success of the subscription, Mr. Georgo W. Morgan played on the organ tbe Hallelujah lliorus, aud the audience then passed a unanimous voto of hearty thanks to] Dr. Ives, for his great stimulation of them during the day. It should bo stated that after the con gregation had subscribed the amount above stated, tbey iustautly liquidated a subscription of $250 Rev. Mr. Talmago had made for his wifo, leaving that goutleman ouly $600 to pay on his own personal contributions, which be insisted on makiug. The cougregatiou dis persed witb proud and glad hearts over their success ful release from all their embarrassments—a church out of d e b t; and tne pastor Baid that on n ext Sunday morn ing ho would preach a sermon relating to the great tb&nkpgiving of (he church to tho Head of the church, for tlieir blessing c f yesterday.

D„ had occasion on Friday to tra r m c t busi ness with Mr. McGregor, Inspector of B u ildings Now York. He tolls the story o f his interview as foUows, iu the E. D. Times of Saturday • About eleven o’clock tbis (Friday) forenoon. I called at the office of ja m e s ar. m’g r e g o r , bead of tbe Departm ent nf Inspection of Buildings, No. 2 F o u rth avouuo, New York. I went there to procure a perm it to build two dwelling bouses. After I bad transacted my busine&s witb ono of tbo clerks I walked info Mr. AniLStroug’s office to epeak with him while the cleik was preparing the perm it. When tho papers were finished the clerk brought them to ino iu Mr. Arm strong's ruoiii, and pointed out somo matters in the specification which needed correction. I was then'about to leave tbo m a tter with Mr. Armstrong, that he might compiele il, but he begged me to seo Mr. McGregor on the subject, with which request, after a little hesita- tiou, I complied. I approached Mr. McGregor in A EEHPECTFUL MANNER and laid the papers beforo him, tolling him that I de sired some information in regard to the m atters which needed correction. He expressed his opinion freely ou the subject, and I did tho Bamo, u n til the business was satisfactorily concluded. Knowing my opposition to the. buiidiug laws as thoy Btand at preseut, ho then mv.de some in&ultiug personal allusions, charging rno witb luetious opposition tu the law. I may here state that I am opposed to tho Jaws that regulate building in New York city. I believo them to be u n just, being so framed a3 to compel citizens to pay large sums of money for buiidiug certain kiuds of houses. Up to this poiut tbero bad beeu no indication tbat o u r difference of opinion would lead to serious consequences. Our conversation had been ANIMATED, BUT IN NO WAY QUARRELSOME. I then asked him why it was tbat citizens were com pelled to pay from $75 to $150—iu some cases, as I bad been credibly informed, ond oven $450—for the privi lege of building a certain class of bouses in New York city under this law. At Ibis time I was standing frith liat iu band, ou the poiut of leaving the room. Mr. McGregor theu flew iuto a violent rage and s a id: G— D— YOUR SOUL, GO OUT OF THIS OFFICE. Seeing that ho was in a violent passion, I told him that 1 wan going, being then about fifteen feet from him and walking to the door. 1 passed through the door leading from his office into Mr. Armstrong’s, and seeing a gentleman of my acquaintance staudm g in tbo ante-room, we saluted each other. I was t>till walking towai ds tho outer door when Mr. McGregor approached mo from bohtad, SEIZED ME BY THE NECK, and gavo me a violent push. I turned round in sur prise, when ho struck mo a heavy blow on the loft ohoek bone, drawing blood, aud then closed with Mr. McGregor to protect myself from further violence, b ut was seized by some of the attaches of tbe olhce, aud during tbo scuffle which ensued, I received, either from Mr. McGregor, or somo of his clerks, a ecalp wound, about an Inch long, auotUer bruiso closo by it, still another ou the temple, THE PRINT OF THREE KNUCKLES ON MY BROW, aud three or four bruises ou different parts of my face. (As Mr. Tostedin spoko, he iudicatccl the particu lar bruises to which ho referred, aud with wbich his faco is quite disfigured.) I was then pushed toward tho iron railing which divides the mam irom the aute-rooms, soiled by my feet uud raised iu tho air, in the effort to THROW ME OVER THE ^BAILING into the outer room. I cannot soy positively bow I got into tho outer room, but firmly behove that I wob thrown over the ruiltag. Ia whatever manner I reached the room, I was uo soouor there thau I was AGAIN ATTACKED BY ONE OF TUE ATTACHES of the offico, and twice violently pushed toward the door. I was ub littlo prepared for this second attack as for tho first, being takeu by surprise. I seized the casiug ol' tho door to save mysolf iroiu beiug thrown down tbe steep flight of stairs to the sidowalk. I would readily bavo availed myself of tlio opportunity to leave tho office, but, finding thut I was miuua my hat, and that my clothes wero turn and disordered, I paused lor a moment to arrange my dress aud look for my hat. I WAR AGAIN ASSAILED by this clerk, aud iu a tusslo witb bim aud some othor persons wus throwu upou the floor aud received u severe blow, by whioh my right eye was discolored aud my temple bruised. I cau scarcely say hmv I re gained my feet iu the contusion, but I am certain that I aaw tho clerk who had beeu uiy chief assailant, and who on both occasions ATTACKED ME FROM BEHIND, Blinking behind ono of tho largo bookoasos in the-room, os if to hido from my observation. I endeavored iu vain to jc&ru his name from the other clerks ui tlio room, Iw o goutlumou thru camo iorward and said, \My God I is it possiblo that it has como to this ? ” au expresBiou In which I could not refrain from joining. 1 then left tho offico to attend to my business,but fouud that my miud was nofc sufficiently collected for the effort. I returned to tbo office to try, if possible, to discover tho name of the clerk who had assaulted me, but uo ono would give me any luformatiou ou the sub ject. Mr, McGregor expressed his regret that tho affair had ocourred, b u t would not aid m e to ascertain the namo of my o ther assailants ; while I wbb couversmg on tho subject I was told by Mr. Smith, ono of the head clerks, that I was interfering with tho business of the office, and had bettor leave, which I did a t onoe.

F a l l i n g am o n g T h i e v e s . — A laborer named Stephen Allen, whilo proceeding to bis homo iu this city at uu early hour ycstcrduy, m a state of iutcoica- tion, waB attacked in South streot, Now York, by three meu, badly beaten and robbed of a stiver watch worth $21. A butcher named Robert B u rst, doing business at 29 Oak street, waa arrested on suspicion, and was identified by Allen as one of his assailants, and com mitted to the Tombs. Allen was sont to fcho Houso of Dotcntlou as a witness. Is i t nofc timo to use a littlo common sonso in tho economies of time and method in tho manner of addressing letters through the post office ? Our present customs seem derived from a period and state of society when loiters wore sent by h and or by privato uervice aud when tbe address was not chiefly designed as a guidance to their destination, b u t rathor as a mark of respect to tbo person to whom they were sent. His name and titles therefore took precedence of his place and county and Stato, Tho real direction was iu (he knowledge and head of thu messenger, ami only put upon the back of tbe letter oh a p a rt of the form. Now when privato service is rare, ’ THE ADDRESS IS REALLY ALL that guides the letter to its destination, ft should be therefore aa explicit, plain and direct as possible, aud should bo so written and ordered as to make tlm seve ral hands through which it passes attend only to what la necessary for them to notice and bo guided by. If tbis were generally o r uniformly attended to, the sav ing of time and cost in the better and more efficient adm inistration of tho postal scrvioe would be greatly dim inished. 1. In a country as largo as ours, and composed of so maDy and such distant States, the first thing necessary to bo stated for tbe guidance of tho clerkB ta the PoBfc Offico is the Slate to which the letter is to go; and as several of the 8tatcs bave similar, though not the samo initials, aB N. Y., N. J ., N. H., from tbe careless writing of which constant mistakes occur, the state, brides* being largely writton a t tbo head of tbe address, should be ■ w r it t e n o u t in f u l l . The same may be said o f Mississippi aud Misfiuurl. 2. The county should follow, as there are frequently towns of tbo same name o r similar uamus ta ditfcreu: counties. Indeed, tbe little caru anil sm.iil iuv.mti and poor tasto which havo bueu exhibited iu m in ing both of counties and towns in the United Ktaft-.; is a source of great confusion and oi di-gush A llra - “Now” prefixes, nowever excusable u.4 indication of i.'m grateful memories of tbo old nonius of thu firot nuttlurrf. arc heritages of a poverty of invention aud taste whiuu are greatly to be deplored. It is a lasting jni-JnrtiU! : to bave the great metropolis of America known only m .Yeu.’ York, and it is just an sad lo have the chief city aud tbe chief State both bearing the na.ue name, and tbat a diminutive or echo of a suijUihU city iu Italian l. New Kuglaud In a tees unhappy title, both because, it has a larger original, and because it describes ex mtly enough and with historical accuracy wbat the country is to which tbo name is applied. If wc bavo not bad fecnso euough to avoid these uudescriptive aud merely borrow ed names, and to avoid repetitious to weariness of tbe more popular titles, we m u st pay for o ur igno- rauce and folly by g reater care lu dtHiguatiug them unmistakably. Vie m u st carefully writo THE STATE AND THEN TUE COUNTY, aDd then oDly the city or town. Of course to the first distributors of the mail matter a t any given port office the State is the only thtug that needs to be looked at. As the letter reaches the d istributing offie* in tho State to which it Ja addressed tbo county becomes tbo ouly matter o f cousequenco. It ia ouly wheu withiu the county that tho towu need a ttract tho notice of the lo cal clerk, and finally it is ouly iu (he post office of the very towu io which it is directed that the namo of tbe person for whom it is intended becomes of any import- anco. This namo, then should como last of all, be written smallest of alL instead of taking the first aud largest spaco iu the address. Iudecd it is on the wholo doubtful whether, in order to release every eye bnt that of the clerk in the town post offico from auy ob servation of it, it would be better to bave it writton plainly, a n a with a careful regard to the initials, in tho lower left corner, wbero wo usually put tho namo of tho peraon to wbom we are giving a letter of iutroduotioo. THUS, FOB INSTANCE, a letter to John Tompkins Smith, in Hmithville, Wash ington County, N. Y., should bo writteu : MEW VO&K, WASHINGTON COUNTY, BfiflTQVILLE, To J ohn T ompkins Swirir. [If in a city, street and number.] If this rulo were first required in all our official cor respondence, of all members of Congress, from post masters themselves, from pupils in tlie military and naval academies, and recommended ond taught in u.'J tbe common schools, it would in a few years make it nearly universal. We venture to predict that it would simplify the Postal Service in & way to Bave ten per cent, of the offico expenses; that it would reduce tho duties of the dcad-lctter office very considerably; tluit it would EXPEDITE THE DELIVERY of letters in distant parts of tbe couniry by afc least twenty-fivo per cent, of time, and stop a vast deal of grumbling. Tho effect of thin sensible uniform ity would also tend to give more care evcu to the hand writing of tbo external address of letters, tho deciph ering of which wastes much time, and is often wholly baffled. There is nothing impracticable in this sim p b reform ; and if editors will ouly add uew suggestions, or improve upon theso liiuts aud keep th/3 plan on wbich they agree before the pnblic, wo do not despair of seeing the change effected in a few years.— Liberal Christian.
