lm Fulton siYeetiueqrnfirh. The enforcement of the anti liquor law in Maine is not a pecuniary (success. The State constabulary a body created for the special purpose of suppressing the sale and consumption of liqours ith powers to seize and confiscate for the benefit of the State all the whiskey they could discover, have during the past year captured liquors to the value of live thousand two hundred and thirty two dollars the expenses of the State constabulary were over seventeen thousand dollars. The public treasury is therefore out nearly twelve thousand dollars. and tendered his own thanks and that of tbe congregation to their venerablo friend for bis appeal for fallen women, tbe utterance of whicb, he said, from that spot bad made it henceforth more sacred than ever.

In referring to Dr. Muhlenberg's special nppe al for funds, to those church members who had erred iu tbcir youth by associating with f.illen women, ho said I believe I am speaking to a congregation most of whom would not have self reproach to feel, If the word3 of the Saviour wero put to them (Let him tbat Is without sin cast tho first stone.) Most of you have been reared from childhood to walk in the wnyc ot virtue, bo that virtue has not been hard for you to practise. Requite therefore the bounty of Christ in vonr own preservation, by reaching out a band of cbarlty for the rescue of tbeae most unfortunate ores. A collection was made In behalf of the funda of tho mission and Dr.

Muhlunberg dismissed the audience by pronouncing tbe benediction. A pamphlet containing facts respecting tho mission was distributed in the church, states tbat five hu'ndred or more prostitntea have attended the mot tings of the mission and that more than forty have been substantially benefitted through our endeavors. Of these forty who have abandoned their lifo of shame twentyfour are already restored to thoir friends, or have been placed in respectable situations, where they are earning an honcat living. MONDAY EVENING, JAN. 13.

Tills paper bas tue JUargest Circulation efnr Evening; paper pnblltinod In ib United States. Its value aa an Advertising Xledtnm Is therefore apparent. Communication "Willi New ITork Is a Pneumatic Railroad Feasible? Cheap, rapid, safe, and uninterrupted communication between Brooklyn and New York is an essential condition of the future growth and prosperity of this city. No natural advantages which Brooklyn may possess, no attractions whioh we maybe able to add to our city, will offset the disadvantage we now labor under in the inadequacy of the means of communication between the two cities, and the injury to which we are subjected by the interruption of this communication at certain seasons of the year. Brooklyn is destined to be the home of a large proportion of those earning a living by Land or brain in New York city.

A large local trade will necessarily follow, aud iu the future it may be that Brooklyn will monopolize the trade of the Island lying back of it but ita main reliance will be in the advantage it may be able to hold out as a place of residence for men doing business in New York. No advantage will offset, in the eyes of this class, the probability, or possibility, of the interruption of communication between the two cities. The creditof a merchant may be com. promised by an hour's unexpected delay on this side of the river. The usefulness of a clerk may in a great part depend on the promptness with, which he attends to his duties, and no employer will be satisfied for any.length of time, with the excuse that a residence in Brooklyn involves irregularity at his business.

The mechanic cannot afford to lose any part of hjs day's earniugs, in waiting until fogs clear off, or until the turn of the tide opens the way for boats to convey him to the scene of his daily labor. It is'safe to say that there is apparently no limit to the growth of Brooklyn, save that which may be imposed upon it by the difficulty of access to New York City. If we had had to depend on boats moved by horse power up to this time, it is not too much to say that Brooklyn would have remained up to this hour a village. Steam ferries met a pressing need, and have answered our purpose for over a quarter of a century. "While it would not be correct to say that they have outlived their usefulness, it is safe to say that we have overtaxed their capacity, as a means of communication between the two cities.

Safe, speedy, and above nil, certain communication with New York, is the condi. tion of our future growth, and no question which can be brought to the attention ot our people so imperatively demands their attention as does this. Newspapers may find fault with the ferry companies when an accident happens, for neglecting this or that means of guarding against it, but they have a ready, and, let us add, an adequate answer to these complaints in the necessity which exists for sinkicg individual safety for the general accommodation. So satisfied are the ferry managers that their resources are inadequate to meet the future needs of Brooklyn that to every project for opening other means of communication than that the ferries offer, they seem desirous of giving a cordial co operation. The project of bridging the East River was discussed in Brooklyn before the commencement of the present century.

Far seeing men saw then that the first want of the city was uninterrupted communication with New York. The appliance of steam to ferry navigation provided for immediate, and, as was believed even by the most sanguine, for future wants, but steam ferries are now as inadequate, in view of the future, asboats propelled by horse power were seen to be forty years ago. The bridge project has therefore been revived. It finds favor from all classes, for it is seen that whether a safe and uninterrupted means of communication between the two cities cosls seven millions or seventy millions, Brooklyn, in time, must and will provide it. The promoters of the bridge project are not mainly interested in the enterprise as a speculation; their main object is to provide for Brooklyn the essential condition of its future growth, and this done, their main purpose will be accomplished.

By a bridge seemed to be the most feasible method of connecting both cities, but fortunately before we are necessarily committed to it, a new motive power challenges attention, and it now seems probable that through it tve may secure the end we have in view, and in doing so provide for the accommodation here ot five times our present population. In the early part of the present century a Danish engineer conceived the idea that if a tube was laid down, a box fitting in it, miglit be propelled through it by the pressure of the atmosphere atone end.while by exhausting the air at the other, the box, with tiio same velocity, would rush back to its starting point. This was the inception of what was now known as the "Pneumatic Dispatch." No practical results followed lrom the labors of the Dane. In 1824 un English inventor exhibited plans for a "Pneumatic Dispatch," for the conveyance of letters and packages, and he was sanguine enough to hope that passengers could be conveyed by the same means. Successive invenlorB took up the work of their predecessors, and 1861 the scheme was so far perfected that a Pneumatic Dispatch Company was formed in London.

An iron tube over a quarter of a mile long was laid down and mail bags and parcels were carried where a very elegant supper bad been provided by tho committee. After indulging in eatables and drinkables, speaking became tbo order of the evening, remarks being made by Mr. Howe, Corry O'fcanus, and others of the Captain's friends. Amusements, PnocToii. Mr.

J. Proctor, a somewhat noted tragedian, will make his first appearance to nlgbt at the ParK Theatre in a "new pluy," with the Bomcwhat mixed title of "Ambition, or the Tomb, the Throne, and tho Scaffold." There are al) the elements of a dismal depth in such a caption, and we shall look for many horrors'. Hooley. Archie Hughes continues the bright particular star at Hooley's, and will do hfs best to take off Dickens by "reading" a "humorous production" with tms side splitting title of "Who Killed Cock Robin." This has ever been a favorite qnery wilh people of deep thought and Btudions habit, and we trust Archie's solution of tho Important subject will be at least as intelligible as tbat of the original Mother Goosq, whose nursery rhymcB aro familiar to every youngster.

Tieknor find Fields have prepared, and wc have reel iveo little pamphlets for these rcadinis containing the text of the stories. What are they for? Do Messrs. T.

take it for granted that we cannot bear, or that we cannot understand tho reader? We deem it bod enough and wretched enoush when an intelligent American audience Is compelled lo take refuse nl a French opeta, in Ibo translated" libretto, but wbr il cornea to needing a book with which lo follow an English reader, it ee'ems that wc ive passed the verge of absurdity. No man has iho right ty re ad or lecture unless he bas a voice loud and clear enough for the exigencies of hall iu which he speaks, and this book business would look liko a confes ion of we okr.CEs iu Mr. Dickens or a de. ire on the part of T. it to make a few more sbekelsl wblch is it? The readers of the Eaolk know all about Dickens mil his readings.

During the quiet, unexciting, and purely descriptive passages they will Und him dull and unlntereslintr, but when he comes to the demon itrative dialogue they will find him an actor and a mimic. The desire to eee Dickens and the desire to ear Dickens ore natural desires, and we arolot at Ell snprist lhai Brookhnitcs like the people of other cities, have cone to greai pains, aud toino expense, Ihat their desires may be giatifie d. one kind of locomotion has over the other. Steam railroads are costly in their construction and in their working mainly because of the engine by which the motive power is generated. An ordinary locomotive with its tender weighs thirty tons Bridges, viaeducts, railroad tracks, cars, must be made strong enough to bear thej weight, the wear and the jar of this vast machine.

The Pneumatic train is propelled by a motive power existing everywhere. It weighs nothing. Thiity tons has not to be moved, as in the case of the steam engine, before a feather's weight can be stirred. The light pneumatic car, can be driven up any grade, and can be made to turn the corner of a street as safely as a horse car. Assuming the starting point to be at the City Hall in Brooklyn, the tunnel need not be four feet under Fulton street, and following the grade of the street until it reaches the tunnel, in the bed of the East River it will ascend the grade on the opposite side of the bank to the City Hall in New York with any velocity that may be required.

On a line from these two points it is calculated that twelve thousand persons per hour could be conveyed from one city to the other, the time of each trip being within two minutes. Access to either end of the line would be easy, for as no grading is required the car need not be more than ten feet below the surface. The expense of connecting these two points is estimated at a million dollars. The cost of the bridge, at the very least, will be seven millions. Or in other words, seven lines of road at seven different points may be constructed for the cost of the bridge.

The latter cannot be built within seven years, even if the capital required was ready to morrow, the Pneumatic Dispatch road can be completed within a year. If anybody should deem the scheme to be visionary, his opinion may be shaken by the fact that an almost precisely similar enterprise is now under way in London, with the view of connecting under the Thames the two sections of that Metropolis. The London scheme is a convenience, for the Thames is spanned by a dozen bridges at different points. The scheme of connecting the twin metropolis is a necessity. It seems to us that the Pneumatic Dispatch as fairly promises to meet it, as any scheme which has yet been discussed.

We now invite discussion 1'or it, aud we have no doubt we shall be able to answer any objections which may be offered against it. Street Begging. The Police authorities have Issued orders for the suppression of begging, which has increased to an extent that has become a nuisance in the cities. There are many cases of real hards hip of people driven by want, but the majority of street beggars are professional mendicants. It is impossible for those whose sympathy is appealed to, to distinguish the deserving from the undeserving.

Some people give indiscriminately, preferrsng to take the risk of imposition, and on the good nature of such people beggary thrives. There should be no begjung: in the streets; street begging is a pitiable spectacle and discreditable to our civilization. There should be provision for those who are really in want within the reach of all who chose to make their wants known. Those who go upon the streets to beg, or send iJji ir childien can hardly claim to be of the class whose sensibilities revolt from the idea of making their condition known, or who arc too proud to seek relief from the Superintendents of the Poor. Begging certainly i involves as much humiliation of feeling as usking alms of those who are authorized to dispense public charity.

Those who choose to beg in preference to seeking relief trom the public charities are generally influenced by motives which can hardly claim public respect. We have some respect for the urchin who shoulders a broom and sweeps a crossing and then claims the tribute of loose coppers from passers by. He is useful in his way, and most of U3 at times feel grateful for his labors. Wc should prefer to see thesecrossings kept clean by the Street Contractor, who is paid lor doing the work, but as the Contractor neglects his business, we must, if we would save our patent leathers from pollution, accept the services of his ragged little substitute, who, at least, does not ask us to put our hands iu our pockets until he has done his work. All who strive to earn, in ever so humble a way the means of living, we would not interfere with, but there should be no excuse for begging those who are honest, who are driven by actual want to such a course, deserve some better provision than chance charity, and Bhould be saved from the degradation of beggary.

The idle and vyorthles3 who take to it as a business, should be sent where they would have an opportunity of earning their own living. Gilt liiitorprlxes. The Postmaster of New York has lent his aid towards breaking up the gift enterprise business. Most of these gift swindles have their headquarters in New York. Postmaster Kelly proposes to cut them off from the facilities of the mail, and to test the case he has seized upon a large number of letters addressed to these concerns and holds them subject to the advice or action of the Attorney General, whohas been notified if auding.

Complaints arc made daily to the Mayor or Justices by pai ties who have been sw indled by ibese fiilt concerns, nhich take all sorts of shapes, i equently borrowing the mantle of charity or patriotism as a disguise. They ai generally so managed that after the victim has parted with his money he has no remedy at law; the transaction is covered in such a way as to evade the law against swindling aud false pretences, though it is a swindle of the most barefaced kind. It is a cunningly devised trap into which people will walk with their eyes wide open. There are always plenty of gullible people in the city, but the country is the safest field for the operations ol these sharpers Circulars are sent to all the country towns and villages to persons whose names and addresses are collected by their agents for the purpose. One of the most successful dodges is to inform the parties addressed that they have drawn a valuable prize in some scheme, which will be seift to them on remittance of a few dollars The gudgeon take3 the bait, forwards the money, and either hears no more about it, or gets in return a piece of brass jewelry, or some other worthless article.

If these swindlers can be shut off from the privileges of the mail, their business will be effectually 'br "ken up. It is to be hoped, therefore, that the Attorney General may be able to find authority iu the law for sustaining the action of Postmaster Kelly. The Finances. The Hon. Demas Barnes addiessed iLe House of Representatives on Saturday, on the vital question of the finances of the country.

Mr. Barnes has made the subject an especial study, and we doubt if there be any member of cither House whose views on financial quesiiocs are deserving of more attention Although the synopsis of Mr. Barnes's speech sent by telegraph to the Associated Press would occupy over a column of the Eagle we prefer to refrtiin lam detailed comment until afiillrepoit rt aches ub. Mr. Barnes sweeps away a great di al of wnat he conceives to be idle discussion, by taking the broad ground that it isnotwithiu the power ot Congress to say hen the Government will, or can, resume specie payment.

A debtor may be ever so willing to meet his obligations, but if he is unable to do so, it is vain charge Liin wilh tergiversation for refusing to do it. The bonds of the government are woi th sevei'ty two cents on the dollar in gold like the greenbacks, they are promises to pay. The cmlit of the government is pledged both cases. Is it possible that it can puy a bundled dollors in gold for one form of security while another is selling in the market for seven iy 1 wo cents on the dollar? If we understand Mr. Barnes, he holds that the governnunt can return to specie payment when its credit is restored in the financial centres of the world, and the first step in this direction will be taken when we show the world that the way is open to a return of prosperity, in the reunion in fact as in name of two sections of a common country.

We eliail recur again to Mr. Barnes' speech as soon as it reaches us iu a complete form. Albany and its Prospects ire Vanderbllt Business and tbo Canals A Country Police Commission Repudiated Fire and Hailroad Peril Soldiers in Council Prostration of a Politician. Rome, If January 11th, 1808. Dbak Eagle Availirg himself of the adjournment of tho Legislature, your correspondent took passage on the Central Hailroad and finds himself safe and sound but very cold in the snow bound regions ol Central New York.

Ho arrived in a storm which nearly rivaled your famous one preceding Christmas, but happily of Ehoiter duration. The trip westward was made accompanied by many members of tho Legislature residing along the line of the Central Itailroad, all of whom were grumbling at the niggardly spirit of tho managers of this important thoroughfare. It appears that heretofore, members wherever resident have had yearly passeB over this route but the rule now prevailing is that only those residing on or near tho Hue shall be supplied this year, and they only for four months or until tho adjournment ol the Legislature. Besides this Yanderbilt ukase provides that each member's pass shall carry him no further than his home; for instance Schenectady, Oneida, or Onondaga members rccotTc just enough pass to enable them to OBcillato letwccn homo and Albany, being lmcted at tho latter place some half a mile from the central part of the city. DECADENCE OP ALBANY.

Beyond a doubt Albany has gono into a lingering consumption; the causes primary and secondary are the bridge over the Hudson River, tho moving of the depot substantially out of the city, and the opening or the through route via Athens opposite the city of Hudson. These three causes drive away a larga amount of local trade, divert travel, aud geueraUy aneci the city. Year by year this will become more and more apparent, aud the Albanians are very fortu nate in securing tho erejtion ofa new pi o'. building before the decadence becomes too palnluily plain. At present Albany is nothing more than a Has station at the junction of the Central and Hudson River Railroads.

The Legislature and Constitutional Convention make tho city lively now a days but ioon the sultry summer dayslwill come, tho duUest of the year, and then the Capital will discover that its business ts gradnally departing. In view of these facta and on the principle that when a man is down, kick him. some of the present legislators have suggested that tne wors on ine new uapito: be suspended and that a site further west be chosen for the purpose of erecting a new Capitol The oxcavatlon for the cellar has beeu commenced and an appropriation is now called for to farther advance the work. Probably Albany will not be deprived of its last plum, even If it has ibecomo a way station. TRADE AND WEATHER.

Through Central New York, trade just now is ouito brisk in a small way. A flne fall of Bnow which did not drift enough to make travelling bad, renders tho sleighing delightful for pleasure and all that is needed for the practical purposes of transit. As ono rollB along in the cars at a reduced rate of speed, say twen. ty miles per hour, it is a painful sight to see the canal boats frozen in all along from Schenectadv to Syra cuse. They are ice bound at intervals all along with cargoes ot grain, lumber, potatoes, which will not be at all benefited by the exposure) to tho weather They are there because of the swindling system of managing tho canalB under the contract system as inaugurated by the Republicans, and not from any sudden approach of coldl weather.

Work half doue or not done at all, resulted in repeated "breaks" and othes delays resulted, until the long hindered boats were trozen in and tho boatmen left to meet a cold winter minus tho money expected from tha la3t and usually the best trip of tho canahng season. If talk indicates anything the Democratic ticket next fall will have every canalcr in its support. In view of this it is pleasant to see that in both branches of the Legislature biUs have been introduced to return to the old or Superintendent system of managing the cannls. If the henate or Governor defeat this measure, the Republicans will have to meet this additional injustico at the ballot box next Fall. How many poiuts he can afford to lose and still win, Is an interesting question for Governor Fenton.

A RURAL POLICE COMMISSION. The last Legislature of the State passed a law which provided for a sort of Metropolitan" police for the city of Utica, and the village of Rome In Oneida County. These places, be il understood, give rousing Democratic majorities, and hence the Albany legislation. Rome was finally left out of tho hill and Utica alone enjoyed the costly present. She has Btood the additional expense, which is large, for a year, and now her Mayor aud Board of Aldermen ask for the repeal of the law.

The former annual expense of the force was $700, and now it is $2,000 for the samo number of men. II there bad been to Democratio places ia this Stato Republican legislation would have been saved many of its injustices of special legislation. Tiio Radical sins are sins of commission not of omission. But the country the deluded, credulous country begins to see the costly joke from a Democratic stand point, and, as Archie Hughes singa, "That's whore the laugh comes in." Stand from under next fall. A RAIL ROAD PERIL.

A trainfull of passengers at this place had theiclivea endangered a day or two ago by the freak ofa drunken man. The Rome and Oswego train awaits the arrival of the New York train here and leaves soon af ter at 0:30 P. M. Tho other evening while the iron horse stood quiet with a number of cars filled with passengers behind him a man liquor clambered iu to the locomotive, and put the machinery in motion! The train started and had attained some little headway when tho danger was discovered and averted. A moment more and all would have been beyond hope with a dmuken man in hie vagaries as the reckless custodian of their lives.

This criminally intontioned man is now In jail. Many of our readers are familiar with the name of Hon. John Stryker, who has fr years been connected with the politics of Central New York. This gentleman ran on tho Democratic ticket last fall for Con grcsB, to fill tho vacancy occasioned by tho promotion of Hon. Roscoo Conkiiug, to the United States Senate.

He was beaten, and just about five o'clock, as the polls were closing, he fell, Btrlcken with paralysis of the left side. lie has improved eomewhat, and is now out of danger and comparatively comfortable. Mr. Stryker has for years been partial to the sentiments expressed by tho Eagle, and makes a practice of dally perusing it when at home. THE STATE MILITIA.

To day a Brigade Convention of tho officers of this Brigade, comprising three regiments, was held here to elect delegates to the General Stato Convention, to be held in Albany on the 21st inst. An increase or the amount of property exempted from taxation, or au increase of pay for parade days, ia to bo demanded. As the law is now, mounted officers are exempted on $1,000 valuation, and officers and men not mounted on $500. An increase is said to be right and just. Of course the Convention will settle this and other voxed questions, and submit them to the Legislature.

Gov. Fenton, the "EOldlcr's friend," will beyond a doubt gracefully acquiesce. Snow hereabouts is about two feet deep on a level, but here aud there drifts have been piled up to about five or 6ix r'cet fn height. These aro exceptions, and happily very rare indeed. High winds prevail, mostly from the west, and the air is keen as uncovered ears desire it.

On Thnreday last in the Assembly, Tower, of Kings, Introduced a bill allowing a certain portion of Bush wick avenue, between Wyckofi street andRemsen, E. to be closed by palo in the legal way, by Supreme Conrt order. Tho property belonging to Mrs. John Thuraby comprises eight lots, fronting on Bushwlck avenue, and six lots running through from Remaon to Wyckotr. This proposed ohango is made neccssury by the new Bushwick boulevard.

The bill was read twice and referred to tho Committee on Cities and Villages. Truly Yours, O'Pake. Annual Dinner ot tho Hamilton Literary Association. When Brooklyn was a village like all other villages it bad its debating society, and that was the Hamilton Literaiy Association which is in being to day. Each year its members meet around tho festive board, and there renew the memories of tho past.

Men whose hairs are silvered with froflts of many winters, who have won renown in the field, on the bench aud in commerce, on this night lay aside their cares and with generous bumpers of wino pledge to each other the immortality of the pleasant memories of by gone days. On Saturday night last this Association held its thirty seventh annual dinner at BarnB's in Montaue 6trret. The room was tastefully decorated with flas and ever the head of the President hung the old and' well known portrait of Alexander Hamilton. Tho dinner was presided over by J. 11.

Van Cott, and sealed on bis right was A. A. Low, aud on his left Lieut. Governor Woodrord. Judge Greenwood and Alden J.

Spooner occup cd fea at the table. The dinner was gotten up in the most recherche manner of Burns, the tabic being elegantly decorated, and the bill of fare was that whioh would have tempted an anchorite. After the dinner had been discussed, the President J. M. Vim Colt taid it was his gratifying dutv to preside over their annual re union.

I received i telegram from Washington, whoie I have important business, excusing me first, but afterward I receive! another ordering me peremptorily to come on but I acted in accordance with my inciiuatinn and re'euaiaed to meet you here. It is made my pleasant duty to we lcome you here, Our beginning goes back to an early day in the history of onr city. Since our organization we have witnessed a great change In its tuno crapLy. Many changes have taken place within the memory ot our living members.

I see so much of its distinguished past that, I behold wilh pleating anticipations tho time when we ahall havo passed into the lniure, and when the then members shall speak as we do tu Dteht. The speaker then rcftrnd to the two oldest members of the Boci ay, Mr. Low and Mr. Spooner, and ol their both being nrcse nt' aud referred in complimentary terms to Mr.

fviw, who he said siooei at the head of Ameiicau commerce. He closed by announcing the first regular toast: First. Alexander Hamilton drank insilenco and all standing. The second toast was annonnccd as American Literature. Young, yet vigorous, it already escilcstho admiration of the whole world.

Van Cott, and Mr, Joan S. Fray. The Duty of the Church in Segard to (lie Social Evil Reformed Profligates Mboald Atone for their Youthful Errors ly Pecuniary Contribution. Last evening the Rev. Dr.

Muhlenberg addressed the congregation of Plymouth Ccurch on the subject of the Midnight Mission to tbo fallen women of New York. The church was thronged a3 usual. Mr. on the platform at half past seven with Dr. Muhlenberg, who wore the ministerial gown of the Episcopal Tho preliminary services were conducted by Mr.

Beecher, who subsequently introduced the speaker of the evening. Dr. Muhlenberg chose as the text the passage from St. John's gospel, which records tho Incident of the Pharisees bringing to Christ in the Temple the woman taken in adultery, and seeking to embarrass Him by inquiring whether, according to Moses's law, she ought not to be Btoned to death to whom He replied, Let bim that is without sin cast the first stone," while to the woman He said, "Go and sin no more." Our Lord did not evado the question of the Pharisees by His silence in the first instance He gave them to understand that thoy had no right to come to Him In the case. Civil jurisdiction was not within His province, and Ho would assume none of its functions.

But when they persevered in questioning Him He took them on their own ground, and they soon vanished. The woman romained, and though Ho could not deal with her under the civil power, vet in the exercise of His higher power, He forgave her sin and enjoined her to go and sin no more. Such was the difference of our Lord's treatment of the outcast sinner, from that which she received from the genteel peoplo who camo to Him so full of their righteous indignation Probably the bystanders wondered at the difference, and thought that distinguished personages like the Rabbis ought lo have been treated more courteously. But our Lord had not mnch respect for the outward diatinc tiona of life. He know how little thev were worth and tbey never could divert Him from His course of upright and downright dealing.

Those who brought the woman'beTore Him were persons of refined manners as was shown by the allusion made to their order of noing away. Their sins, no doubt, were of past days Their respectability was the shield of their character among men, but it was no shield or blind to Him whose eye pierced their goodly outside, aud showed what a flimsy coveiiig worjo interior than that of the woman whose shame they were so eager to proclaim. The lookers on might have felt pity for her, but no one ventured to speak a word of kindness but the pure and holy Savior. 1 that the ministerial servants of Christ in this day were not so miserably lacking in this quality of their Master the looking fairly and impartially on all classes ol sinners. They were too apt to be considerate of tho feelings or the grandee sinners, and to overlook their delinquencies, while tbey wero prompt lo mark those of lp.sser men.

Some who fell into sin were "pillars of the. church," and for tbo dear church's sake the minister mustdeal gently with the pillar. They had wealth aud influence, which by treating them with deference could be turned to account for the church's benefit. But with the shabby sinner ministers dealt boldly If a poor man was in liquor the minister was severe upon bim, but if a wealthy member of the church was too fond of his glass it must only be spoken of in a whisper. Toward the transgressor in the back room of tho top story of a tcnemeut house, they were ma" nanimously bravo with their message from the Lortl but how mildly the message was deliveied to the millionaire in his stately mansion.

So it wob wilh the social evil. They banished the adulteress, hut not the adulterer, from the eooial circle easily forgiving the man, but damning the woman, for that which in the eye of God was tho same gutlt. He had never forgotten tho pale and emaciated form ot a young woman, a distant relative ofhis own, whom he visited in tbo beginning of his ministerial career, in a lonely chamber, in which she was perpetually Confined for a single transgression long gone by while tbe gentleman partner In the oflence held his head up in the world. Three yeors ago there had come to St. Luke's Hospital, of which be was in charge, a young girl sixteen or seventeen years of age, to see her mother, who bad been a patient there, but was dead.

Enquiring bow it was she bad not known earlier of her mother's state, and noticing the finery she wore, ho enquired how sho was living, and at last, with a flood of tears, she confessed that Bhc was living with a gentleman to whom she was not married. He pointed out to her the inevitable result; she said it was a mistake, ho was such a nice young man, son of a wealthy merchant in New York; ihat no loved her sincerely, and would marry her but for fear of displeaBing his father. Nothing that could be said sufficed to open her eyes to the reul Btato of the. coeo, and flho lelt with the promise lo communicate with the Hospital again, but nothing more was heard of her, and no doubt she had Ion? since been abandoned by her seducer. Peonlo would say this was only a "youthful indiscretion," on the pnrtof this nice joung man.

Aftera few more sticb feats of gallantry, he would settle down to marry, and become a respectable man living true, perhaps to the partner or his bosom, who knew all his secrets but one. He would never tell her of a baby Bent to Black well's Island, or endeavor to trace the fate of the mother of that baby. Ah 1 Respectability did not re ejuire that be should concern himself abiut that. Sad storic could bo told by many in this church as well as by himself. Saddest of alt wero incideuts that might be related of female emigrants lured to EO called boarding houses, where sooiindrela were 1 ing in wait who by false promises, or by brihea of money, or by baits nl' finery, or by the stupifyin1' cup, or by violence, rifled them of their all, and left them, BtrangerB in a strange land, for other harmcs to devour.

It was Bbocking to hear what membor. i of the police forco could tell of iniquities of this kind going on, night after night, in yon city, it not iu Brooklyn also, of scenes of licentiousness, in which fathers and busbands acted parts, and of vile orgies with tbe ii enchanting Burrouudiugs. Were all this brought in one view before us, and the statistics of nrostilution and vice embodied In living flesh anil blood in one scene of lnathsome abomiuatiou.no mind oui side the nether world could bear the view, and we Ehould wonder ihat Heaven withheld its lithium" from lolling upon and consuming New York City as a Sodom upon Christian soil. Meanwliile, what was the church doing? Where were her efforts at all commensurate with tho maoi tude of the evil 1 "Where wero her missieiuariesamoug those altars thick with human sacrifices? It, wa? sai5 thai the church did not enter upon this class of effort, because she knew how fruiltless the labor would be that these fallen oues wero the most uuredaimable of transgressors, their womanly houor all gone, anu their afi'eciion debased into appelite, their oharacter eleniol ished, aud nothing left foi them to build a reformation upon. They had burned th: bridge thev had crossed on with theflros of passion.

Havinggiven thcmselvee up for lost, in vain would be any attempt to reclaim them. This was the tone iu which mauy people talked when tbey were appealed to on this subject. Such persons lookeel at tbe fallen women In a mas, and hus saw tbem at the worst. But if they took Individual cases of the hapless ones, it would be found that their reclamation was not impossible. We taught and preached of the might of God's grace, but when we came lo speak of the social evil wo appeared to think that nothing less than a miracle could win back to virtue such apostates.

Tho gospel, however, dealt with inners not as a mass, but one by one, and among tboBO seemingly wholly reprobate, there were individual souls penetrable by Divine power. The worst ot these women at times had their fits of remorse, their crying spells," when they longed to fly from their gay but wretched prisons, if they only knew where to fly to, Oh, they are not all so bad," said one who knew them but too well, but what can they do, when every one spurns them as loo vile for conversation, except those who help to mako tbem viler still." There were many who bad not long gone astray there were among them the young, who cbeekB still reddened with the tlugo of shame; there were lhoeo who had been driven by extremity of want to Become what they despised themselves for being: there were those who had been betrayed, when tbe believe (1 themselves to have been betrothed, and thero wt ru the poor man's lambs, stolen from the fold and left torn and bleodii in the wilderness by wolves gorced wilh their pre. ThiB mission wai bin nd on no errand of religious Quixotism, was actuated by no romantic and visionary zeal, but. was a practical and wvli considered work of mercy, which had been already largely attended by encouraging ri tuits. The Invitation cards which it proffered to the gay street walkers were not all refused.

Mauy accepied them and camo to the room provided for them. On Friday cvening3 tbey assembled, mostly girls of be lweon sixteen and twenty years of age, well behaved, polite in maunei aud speech, listening to the readiug of the Bible, joining with Bweet voices in the sinaiDsr ol hvmiis. anri knuuling down in prayer. Tho Bight w.mli! go to ihe heart of any Christian spectator, and he would think tbem well nigh reclaimed. But with asiah he wonlrt se the mnjurily of them at the close of the meeting leaving for the streets again, and ti lling you reply to inquiry tbat it was their own business where thoy wenl that tbey must earn their bread the best way they could.

Ilui not nil of tbem bebaved thus. Some would linger hebiuri and converse with the ladies aud gentlemen of fhe mission. Hading were not dealing with hypocritical Pharisees, but with genuine followers of CoriBi, who longed to do them good, and to sav to them in the words of the text, Go, and sin no mor." Thoso words wore very easily Baid; but whero should these girls go to sin no more, whe their only aboces werchauuia orsiu, and by the wages or vice aluno they lived and obtained a home? When they were anxious to obtain other home's, the committee of (lie mission felt tbat they ought to bo in a position to point them to another home and to tell thorn when and where to begin to lead a new life. These girls had been used to comfortable quarters it would be useless to tell them to go to Black wc H's Island, that being as goodasihey deserved. The mission sought for tho means of providing homes for these girl under circling tonus which would he likely ti rescue tlicm from vice, or at Uas place them in circumstances favorable to their reloimation.

The ordinary Mag lalen Asylums would not do, theglrls would there, especially Ihe joung ones who had not been 1 asitay. Ni was that the most promising plan or reforming them, whicb herded the debased tog iher. Toe tyros In Bii would learn further lessors of depravity from those who were steeped iu sin and iniqtiily. Most of thoso whom the mission could prevail on to leave the streets were not genuine pt niients. They only so far repented as to bo willing to abandon their sinful life II tncy saw a chanc of getting iuiO a decent mode of living airain.

The re couveited to respectability, rather than to Christ. But Iheyhod taken theflrst step toward reformation, aud the duty or the mission was to llnd sumo suitable establishment where they might have care an I training. 11 would not do to cnt our duly short by cmn to a penitentiary or jail of charity the enly plan was lo find tbem homes in the country wilh plain families, who would be willing to receive tbem. This required mouey. It was cheap charity lo sav, "Go and sin no more;" but Hie missiou required funds for its support in ordur to effectually roicuo and rerorm the fallf n.

The social evil ever existed in proportion to the weallh and luxury of the community. The church in this locality abundnnOy shared in thalweullb and luxury, and ought il not largely do its part iu miiig.Hlng the Eocial evil, at least by affording tho pi eunlarv means required by this society, ff all these monyctl men now fn i he church, ou whom the mission had pecu liar claims by reason of iheir Tornier conduct in regard to these women, would own tfcose claims by contribution to its funds, there would be no lick of'raeam. If only In of those men who cooperated in tbe ruin of the abandoned once wou'd rec'e nizt: their rcsponst bilily anr' discharge it in the only way they couid, the mission would have enough money. He wished that all mch men had the conscience of one be knew of, who had been "wil in his yi.ni'g e'ays." had ovcr robbed the innocent of their virtue, but In using those whom others hud rohbe d. fin hi, own guiltj imiulunnco, he felt that ho bad availed tiimself of tkerobbn's criino.

He felt tb it le bod (Joi bis puit in still further depraving Ihe depraved and linrreniog tbem more anpt lcssly in tho'r Bin. Th ho bitterly reproached himself with, and tin only ah ne meni hec nidmako was in resolving to support lo th mm igt of bl; abi ty a reformatory Tor fallen women, and eo he did for the remainder of his whicb, however, were shortened by thej'orpore al naltj In: had to pay for the exce js of former davs. Would Ihat all re pentant binm.Ts like manner brlnn firlh Trulls meitlor repentance.

Topics of To day. Since the Chicago Congregationalists got after the Independent with a sharp evangelical stick, that excellent journal, now for nearly twenty years "put in tinet with the eeiyin machines, patent medicines, Blocks and bonds). Carpenter's White House gossip, and other valuable premiums, baB worn a formal religions disguise. More space is riven to church iteniB and revival news, and 1b pnb a novel, care is taken to announce "an orthodox clergyman" as its autaor. The editor no longer discusses such worldly topics as politics, but discourses double vlcadedly ot an English Presbyterian cbimo of bells.

What shall be elone with the women? Not the thousands of excellent mothers, wives, daughters, and sisters, who are doing vastly more to civilize and refine mankind than the rude, and more demonstrative sex, but the restless, non domestic women who are continually riding into public notice on someabeurd hobby. Here are a couple of women who, not satisfied with full privileges of the platform, fasten their personality to the press. Thy have started a journal called the Revolution. It is difficult to decide whether it ia an uncensolous caricature or an intentional joko. Mrs.

Stanton has some well chosen words for woman's claim to a fair chance for work and wages, but these do not save the paper from the thoroughly unwomanly tone reflected from Pillsbnry's paragraphic antics, and Train's monetary monkey shines. Miss Anthony betrays so little notion of the dign'ty of the causee she advocates, that she delights in telling how as a canvasser, she thrust herself befora public men, how one snubbed her, and how another gave her two dollnrs to get rid of her. The Revolution, is not likely to revolutionize society forthwith. It fails at the outset to commend itself to the class whoso organ it assumes to be. Miss Anthony baa toldus how many politicians have, paid for her paper in advance, fow lether teU us how many women read it.

The increasing postal business of New York osmpcls the increase of the letter carrying force. Three hundred unemployed persons may hare a chance after February 1st. Anna Dinsmore, M. devoted her Saturday lecture chiefly to the question of the study of medicine by women. Dr.

Anna thought the invalidism of Americana resulted from physiological ignorance, that girls ought to be enlightened, ana that the best teachers for them were educated female physicians. The French Emperor and the Russian King exchanged friendly autograph noteB ou Now Year's day. This epistolary promise of peace has occasioned much satisfaction la Europe, but to outsiders a peace needing constant assurance lu speeches, letters, and diplomatic declarations seems to rest on un insecure foundation. The French Legislative Body has incorporated in the army reorganization bill article compelling every citizen to serve in tho National Guard. It was proposed to exempt the infirm, but Minister Rotibcr objected.

He said the article will startle attentive ears Probably it wilt, in a ,1 way the does not contemplate. A nation must be desperately in earnest or decidedly alarmed when it demands literary service from cripples, consumptives, and other invalids. The remarkable South American war every battle of which, according to reliable report, results in an overwhelming defeat and decisive victory for Loth sides, is prosecuted with unttilennittlng vigor. The Allies on the ono hand are preparring to push the campaign with renewed energy, while on the other hand the Paraguayans rally enthusiastically around theirPresident Lopez. The latest candidate for the Austrian Mis sion is Major Hoffman of New York, ft is believed however that the President will send to the Senate the name of lion.

Samuel S. Cox. Pleasant personal relations between the Commander in Chief and his Generals do not seem to be disturbed by the complications of Reconstruction. Pope called on the President on Satnnlay, and their interview is said to have been cordial, respectful, and facetious. Nine years ago, business in the office of the Second Auditor of the Treasury was trausacted by twenty one clerks: now it neods the employment of four hundred, and more are required.

There are on file over 175,000 claims for bounty and pay arrears, and they are coming in at the rate of 10,000 a month. Their examination involves a preat deal of labor, and the existing force disposes of 111,000 a month. Hon. W. B.

Wright, Presiding Judge of tLe Court of Appeals, oied suddenly at Albany last" evening. He was on the bench on Thursday, aud, although fur some time affected by a dlseaso of tbo kidneys, the indisposition which kept him in his room on Friday and Saturday did not occasion alarm on the part of his frieEds. Ben. Wade, it is said, declines retrogade promotion from the Senate to the llouso of Representatives. When his further Senatorial designs came to grief it was reported that he had no intention of retir.

ing from public lifo, but would seek a seat in tho lower branch of Congress. Whether the announced change of purpose has any connection with Vice Presidential hopes is not stated. The popular theory that hydrophobia is incident to warm weather is refuted by the prevalence of mad docs in tho westf rn part of the country. Rabid animals appear so frequently in some places that muzzling laws have been revived. Our dog laws are in operation only during the hot months, and canine insanity is looked for in winter as Utile as the cholera which is reported to have arrived by the Hamburg ship Leibnitz.

Henry Ward Beech er is classed among visitors from abroad among the cuiiosities of the countiy, and Flymonth church is regarded by newspaper correspondents as one of the to be "done," no less than the Central Park or Congress. The latest account of Plymouth aud its pastor is fnr l.isbed by a writer to the Pall Matt Gazelle, ile re marks the plainness of the building, the platform "cnrpited like a drawing tho superb bouquet which would have delighted tho heart of a ball room belle or ritualist curate." Describing the prayer he sajs Mr. Beecher "recited to the Deity, with more or less success, an elaborato list of His attributes, and concluded with one or two petitions for mankind at large." Of the theological part of his sermon Sunday morning, Decembor8tli Ihe Pa Mall man says il might have been "delivered by any fervent Dolst." The conclusion was favorable to the popular clergyman: "In spite of bits of staglness and they wero not very numerous, alter all Mr. Beecher preaches in a remarkably sensible manner and tone." The Senate on Saturday, in Executive Session, considered the report on the Stanton case. Mr.

Dooiiltle sustained the President in a speech an hour and a half long, and other Senators spoke. Jessie Uenton Fremont sent iu a petition asking that certain property in San FranciBco belonging to her, and taken possession of by the military authorities, might be restored. Sumner's resolution declaring tho Fourteenth Article of the Constitution a valid amendment was referred. Mr. Dooliltle gave notice of an amendment of Mr.

Morton's resolution setting aside Southern Slate governments and providing others. Tho amendment is to the effect that a person voting for officers for the ratification of a Constitution shall have one of three qualifications First, Have served in the army one year or more. Second, Have sufficient education to read the Constitution of tho United States, and subscribe bis name: and third. Bo possessed of freehold property to tho amount of $230. In ibe House the President's Message was considered in Committee of the Whole.

The principal speech was that of Mr. Barnes, of this city, on the finances. Whether the "faculty" of authorship is an inheritable gift, is a question undergoing a practical test. Marryatr, Thackeray and own way, arc successful literary Englishmen. There, is a daughter to each of their house and i heir names have been bronghtto the notice of the reading world of late years.

Miss Thackeray, in several novels and Ehortcr talcs, has proved herself an artist of culture and delicacy. Popular opinion ol Miss Marryatt is thus far lets pronounced. The case of Miss Dickens is spoiled by the statement of her father that she had nothing to Co with "Aunt Margaret's Trouble" and "Mabel's Progress1" two novels published in All the Tear Iicimd, of which periodical Mr. Dickens is announced as the conductor. The German Young Christians of New York, provide three hundred poor peoplo daily with good hot dinners at their rooms in Ludlow street.

The whaling business has increased within a year. The number of vessels engaged in 1307 was 342, against 321 in 1SG0. New Bedford has the largest share, 182. A further increase is oxpected the coming year. Some very successful voyages have boon made by New Bedford ships.

Tffa vessels, one fifteen and the other twenty three months out, scoured 1,703 barrels of sperm oil each. Another twenty eight months out got 1,050 barrels of sperm aud 1,000 barrels ot whale oil. Another thirty months out took 9S0 bairels of sperm and l.lCObarrelB of whale oil. The a gregate trade of the port was 25.345 barrelB sperm oil 1S.17 1 barrels whale oil, and pounds whalebone, showing over 1BM, sperm Ml lu.uao barrels; U18 barrels whale oil and 531,400 pounas whalebone. A butter and cheese convention is not a surprise in these days of Congresses representing all sort" of interests.

The American Dairymen's Association held a two days' meeting al Utic last week. The annual report contains statistics of C20 cheese factories, but the actual number is probably 000, using the lacteal production of 250,000 cows. Eich cow will yield ibrce hundred pouDds uf cheese a year, bo that the factories, not couullng private dairies, tnrn out 75.000,000 pounds annually. The amount of mllk ma teiial oemonde by the factories In the coarse of a yefir, 375,000.000 quarts. Tho opinion seemed to prevail at the Convention that the cheese factory business was overdone, and that dairymen ought to divert their attention in a measure to butter making.

Ex Governor Seymour was chosen President of the Association for the coming year. TEMPERANCE AT THE PARK. Kings County Central Tempcranco Association. Tho usual Sunday evening temperance meeting was held last night at the Park Theatre, under the auspices of the Kings County Temperance Association, over which Dr. Q.

I. Bonnet presided. Twelve children from the Howard Mission, of New York, under tbe direction of the Rev. W. C.

Van Meter, tbe Superintendent, conducted the musical portion of the exercises. Alter singing "Dare to do Right," Dr. Bennet introduced Captain D. Maxwell, who said ho was glad to see so many of his fellow citizens there to night. He had come to tho conclusion long time since, that the only safety waB in total abstinence.

He was sorry to eay that there aro a great many, members of tbe church, too, who are not in favor of total abstinence. He had spent thirty years of his life in a rum city, where nearly every inhabitant indnlged in the intoxicating beverage. He their" related several anecdotes Illustrative of the evil effects ol drinking, whereby a large amount of life bad been lost. He was a believer in future punishment, but if the re is not a hell thero ought to be one for ruin ellerB. (At this stage of the proceedings a cur in the rear of Ihe house set up a series of yelps whicb ratner destroyed the equanimity of the speaker') We have no tribunal hero tout will reach the cose of the evil lb', rumsellers do, but there is a tribunal above that will surely give punishment to this class.

At the conclusion of the address the children again Bang, when Rey. A. C. Van Meter took the platform. He tairi isn't it a pity that in a great city liko this the people have to be ben ed not lo drink rum.

A month ago there met, at tho Howard Mission, a number of earnest, faithful, hard workiug ui.n, and they questioned what should be done to Bave the boys and girls from the dangers to which thev are exposed. A committee was appointed, which will rentier its report on ihe first Monday in Febrnarv, on which oce Bion the congreeaiion are Invited to bo present. Tho Cbairer.nu of ibat commitlec in a lawyer, nnd a nnd bard worker, who has extraordinary facilities to pain experience fn this respect. I have heru a portion ol that report, which I will read WHAT RT.M COSTS. Accordine to the report of the Board of Excise there are now 5,503 licensed mm shops iu this city.

How mony un iicei.eud ones theio are, wo do not know. In tbe year 1865, Superintendent Kennedy, of the Metropolitan Police, had officers stationed at 233 drlnkin" satoons, with orders lo couut the number of vt iw mode lo them by their custom ra during twenty four hours. This was done, a fair average of sal being selected auo tho total number of visits to the 323 places ruling twenty four consecutive was loniitl to be an average of 131 visits to each saloon. II we multiply this uveratte by 5,203. tbo present number of rum shop In th city, we find ttiat total visitations amount to 697.

202 a day, to 1.133 212 a week, and to 21S.sa4,iMB a year. The amount of money taken in a week at the 333 saloons, according to statements mado by ttar.tr proprietors to the police, was which is an overage of lor eacb. Multiplying this by 5 303 (the present number of rum sln iii the ciiy), wo liml tbat the total amount of money paid out lor drinks across the bur or at the rlriiikiuir tables of thi. liquor Jw York ifl a week, or fiS a year. Yet these figures, astounding as they are below the mark.

E. C. (Ned Dnntlinc), will deliver au address ou the subject of lenipe raiice at this place. Emigration iocturo to Dry Goods Clerks. There was a crowded congregatiein present lastevcning at Ihe Qburch of the to hear a lecture whirl! the paslor.

the Rev. nry 1) ancsard, was to deliver lo ihe drygoons clerks of this city upon tbe subject of emigration. The lecturer riivI Ji'il bis subject into four heads. I'Mral Co operation ou tbe part of young men for tbe purpose of assistance, especially in cm of siebness, accident or lo of employment. Srcnnct Co operutinn for the purpose of carrying on business for themselves.

Thin! Cooperation of young men with their employers, and ne xtco operdlion in imigiaiion. He stronjiv urged tbe necessity of the dry goons clerks forming Iheir own co operative association, in the same manner as the Masons, or trade societies, aud expre scil hi opinion in an emphatic manner, tbat lotal abstinence should be cue of 'he conditions. Ile referred to the guilds now extt ling in England, such as the ii oe. mongers and llshuwD'iers, nnd contended that each great trade or business should have its own pe cifll organization. He ndviBed young to co operate iu cairying ou business for themselves.

It was not good, lie said, lo establishments paying a few partners large incomes, and allowing cb iks very small ones. He advocated no waraoainst wealthy men because he knew the need of capital. Drains anil rim would moke way anu create groat enterprises, but wealth ought to be widely Young men might co operate for themselves, sharing th profits. The speaker went on to contrast the present extensive system of doing business from that yvl icb existed some years since, and then went on to argue that it was for he best interest of tbe employers to make their cl 'rks work for shares in tbe profit instead of wages, and stated that this method had been adopted in Eng.utid with great success, and one of his porisbiouers bad adopted such a plan und had round it to work well. The next ucint taken up by the sp okcr wus the co operation in rniigiation.

tte complained that too many yoi.ni men cam? to tbo city. Ecorning ihe farm and ibe macbine inp, th is overstocking the labor market and depreciating the value of 1 ibor. He advised young men In tbe city, who could not get em ploymcrit or fair compensation for their lab to co opernie and emigrate. There never was a better opportunity than now to get good land.

Tim Siaiion ltou.e of the Forty ninth Precinct Police was crowded on Satu day nigbt by an asr cmbly not often to be seen in such a placn. The crowd consisted of about forty nf tin; most prominent citizens of the Precinct who bad gathered together to express to Captain Luich their regard and esteem as we ll as their eong. atulatioii at his having reached (bo tenth anniversary his connection wi'h ttie Forty nlr.lh Pre rincl.

The company then adjourned to neighboring hotel, i. our exc'se law lessened ih. se vestibules of oiirat lves, however, tbat th 14.1,927,000 visitations a vear formerly iuaile to iho new discontinued s.nnn Miinnnu in hrough it at any velocity required.

But if parcels could be carried through why not passengers? There was no reason why except that adequate accommodation tvas not provided. The workmen from time to time accepted such accommodation as was offered, and by reclining in the mail carts were conveyed as safely and as expeditiously as by a locomotive. The Pneumatic Dispatch was conceded to be a success so far as the conveyance ot mail matter, packages, freight, was concerned. The principle being conceded to be sound, inventors turned their attention to tue extension of its application. In 1864 the tube gave place to a tunnel, which was constructed on the grounds of the Crystal London.

By a current of air generated by an immense fun placed at oneendof the tunnel, a car carrying forty passengers was propelled through it; as the car arrived at its destination a vacuum was created by the same fun, and the car returned to ils starting point, at any requued velocity. We do not desire to encumber here our statement of the main facts by a description of the machinery by which the air is propelled through the tunnel, or "sucked" out of it, to use a homely but expressive word. It is enough for our present purpose to say tha! the question of the practicability of this part of the scheme is not open for discussion. At the late fair at the American Iustitute, in New York city, one hundred and seventy thousand people practically tested the use of air as a motive power. Sanguine men believe that the new means of land locomotion will supercede all others now known to us.

The steam locomotive they hold is about to yield to its supremacy, and the Pneumatic car, protected from the possibility of accident will run up mountains, along the beds of rivers, and under the streets of cities, when the steam locomotive wil! be as much of a curiosity as the old lumbering stage coach now if. We need not concern ourselves with these speculations, but we are interested in the question of the feasibility of couneeting the cities of New York and Brooklyn by means of a Pneumatic Railroad. Those interested in this enterprise are so confident of success that they ask no more from the Legislature than the privilege of being allowed to undertake it. Almost anything is possible to modern engineering pro Tiding money enough is furnished. It is of Course possible to connect Brooklyn with New York by an under ground steam railroad but the cost of such an undertaking would be 60 vast, and the difficulty of availing ourselves of steam communication buried in the earth so great, that this scheme maybe dismissed as visionary or useless.
