Antagonism, ridicule and persecution directed against any movoment which is of real merit only servo the ends of wisdom, since they develop in all true followers of a good cause patience, forbearance and oharity, and, what is still moro a characteristic of the Master himself, a fearlessness in uncovering error and stripping from it the stolen livery of truth. In tho work of Christian healing all tho Christ qualities aro not only essontial, but imperative, and he who ha3 espoused any reformation must not whine or turn back because the brick bats and stones of popular thought aro hurled at him. If it cost nothing to be a pioneer the glory would be missing. There should be no selfish hope or expectation of personal reward or vision of tho fruition of one's labors. The uplifting of humanity should be ths standard, and a willingness to be known and understood by future rather than by present ages the inspiring purpose.

Thoae who havo entered the arena and called themselves Christian Scientists have assumed much, and of them tho public has a right to expect much. The greater tho claim, tho larger the resp visibility. Bightly understood, tho causo of Christian Scionce is a mental and moral crusado against everything that maketh or worketh a lie." It is a warfare against the five personal senses, in their innumerable statements of pleasure and pain. Thoso who have been in only one skirmish, aud woro deserters from even that, should not bo allowed to define the line of legitimate battle. Those wholhave'been allowed for a time to be the standard boarers and havo sold the tricolor for the enemy's war paint aud wampum are not the true historians of this cause.

Those only who have been thoroughly tried should bo trusted. And tho i iy ia not far distant when a "mental oxpert" will not bo a misnomer. Pinning upon the skirts of radical Christian Science such oppo sites as theosophy, Spiritualism, hypnotism and animal magnetism is adulterating truth and works ill. There can bo no two opposite methods science, for it will unset ovoryt hing that is not set up right. Mary B.

G. Eddy, although the discoverer of Christian Science to this Nineteenth Century, is not the originator of this battle between soul and sense. Troperly construed, the Scriptures, from Geuesis to Itevelation portray it. Whenever the divine schemo of effacing sickness by destroying sin Jias appeared, tho opposite human method of casting out devils through Beelzebub has appeared also an 1 labored to obtain the floor. Tho "still small voice" of truth has been temporarily silenced by the clamor of error claiming that evil will finally have tho same result as good.

What prophet, apostle and philosopher have struggled against but failed to destroy, science must expose, explain and reduce to its native nothingness. Tho questions of the hour are: What is Christian and what is animal magnetism Is one the antipodes of the other? Does the former destroy the latter For twenty two years Mrs. Eddy has stootl beforo the world as a Christian crusader, wielding the battle ax of truth against the claim of sentient matter or intelligent ovil. Today lea ling natural scientists in our own and foreign lands aro slowly but surely swinging round tbe evidence upon her side, sustaining her with accumulative proof that causation is outside of matter, thin establishing the supremacy of mind. Already the facts are sustained that by hypnotism or animal magnetism, the memory, volition, consciousness and identity of the subject are entirely at the mercy of tho niagnetizor, so long as In chooses to hold them, and that tho person under control sees, hears, feels, acts and is what tho hypnotizer directs, thus proving personal sense a myth.

But psychical research admits aud believes that these phenomena before the senses can be produced only with the full knowledge, consent and presence of the subject. OlirisrifUt Science, whose province it is to expose all the possibilities of error before destroying them, insists that this fact bo recognized that hypnotism and animal magnetism can bo practiced with the greatest and quickest success without the knowledge, consent or presence of the subject.

Undertalter Euoff is very indignant because of a published report to the effect that he was charged with removing the man from tho pond before life was extinct and that he had made no efforts to resuscitate him. Mr. Buoff declares that the man had been drowned several hours before he received the body.

Coroner Homyer will hold an inquest. Dr. Van der Vegh, of Middle Village, who made the autopsy, found that death was the result of heart disoase and over exertion, the latter probably caused by the efforts of Van Winkle to save himself.

John J. Garritty, ono of the members, consisting of a tankard, driuking cup and salver of oxydized silver, which was ono of the best prizes that has been put up by a single member for competition. Nineteen marksmen went to tho traps to shoot at seven birds each for the above named prizes. Tho birds furnished by Chris Durler wore first class, and the weather was just what a sportsman likes, a clear, bright day, and as a result some excellent shooting was done, only 20 birds boing scored as missed out of 165 shot at, and most of those scored as missed fell dead just out of bounds. P.

R0AT5IEX BOWLED DOWN. The Pioneers Slailly Ucfcuteu by the Brooklyn Athletics. A woll rolled ten pin bowling match took placo last evening between tho Pioneer Boat Club aud tho Brooklyn Athletic Association bowling teams on the alleys of tho latter, corner of DeKalb and Classon avenues. Tbe boat pullers were somewhat elated at their victory of Monday evening with the Kings County Wheelmen, and thoy tbonght they could beat the B. A.

A. team, but instead of winning they sustained a most disastrous defeat. Their opponents rolled one of their best games. S. Swczcy heading tho score with 218, J.

The last named caused some little delay and plenty of fun, being obliged at each of his turns to roll to extract corks from the grip holes of his own particular ball which the mischievous bowlers would plug thorn with.

A benefit was tendered last evening to Benjamin Gausepohl, of the Catholic Benevolent Legion, in Schiellein's Assembly Booms. Tho hall was crowded by tho many friends of tho beneficiary, and an excellent programme was rendered. Tho performance commenced with tho laughable fareo entitled "Sarah's Young Man," with Mark E.

HOLY TRINITY MISSION. A Change to Be made From DnfflcIA Street to Canton Street. Holy Triuity parish, of which the Bov. Charles H. Hall, D.

is rector, proposes to make a change of base in its mission work and an order of the Supremo Court has been obtained permitting the church to make a transfer of real estate Tho petition sets forth that the church owns tho property 103, 165 and 107 Dufficld street, near Myrtle avenue, which has been used for mission purposes; that the character of the neighborhood has so changed that the location is no longor suitable for mission uses. It is proposed to exchange the Duffiold street property for tho property on Cautou street, between Auonrn placo aud Park avenue, now occupied by tho Concord Baptist Church of Christ, tho latter socioty paying in addition $5,000 cash and a bond and mortgage for $20,000 at 5 per cent. This makes tho price of thcDufliold street property aggrcgato $40,000. It will bo ocoupiod by the Concord Society. The property is 75x100 foot and is occupied by a church and a dwelling house.

Judgo Bartlctt signed tho order. In the February Homiletlc Review, Funk Wagnalls, Professor T. W. Hunt, of writes on tho interesting subject of "The Bible and the Homily in Old EngliBh." Dr. Charles F.

Wilkinson has a Becond paper on Tolstoi to tho effect that he "foUows without truth, and, while an apostle of tho latter to this age, needs its prayers.

Bev. Albert J. Lyman has "one moro" hack at "Bobert Elsmere," rearranging the plot to make it less interesting, by a different system of matches, while acknowledging that the theological value of the book ia in its "unconscious tribute to tho mastery and mystery of Josus."

The Critic also has found out Mr. Gladstone's value as a general advertising medium for authors. It says: "We mentioned not long ago that among his various functions Mr. Gladstone was playing the role of a Mioeenas to aspiring authors. When asked to write a review of "John Ward, the Grand Old Man declined with excuses, but a novel oil the subject of divorce, also by an American writer, Miss Margaret Lee, entitled 'Faithful and is said to havo attracted his attention, and some of the English papers have intimated that he will comment upon it in one of the maga.incs." But it remains to be seen if the author and her publishers, the Macmillau, havo really "secured" the great sponsor.

It is further said that an English publisher lately gave tbe laconic answer as to what was tho best advertising medium: "Mr. Gladstone." Thomas Bailey Ahlricb is reported as engaged on a novel of importance. In addition to her disavowal to Mr. Bok, of Brooklyn, of an intention of visiting America, Mrs. Humphry Ward writes to tho Christian lieu that her time is taken up with literary engagements for nearly two years ahead, and that a new story is taking shape in her mind.

As to "Bobert Elsmere" for the stage she certainly shows a level literary head, so to speak, iu keeping it off, as is her reportod determination, if possible. Its day would certainly be over if it took that shape. Tbe public indulgence may bo said to have passed already into the curiosity phase. A SKN'ATOK IS A ItEKlt (i.VUDKX. William P.

The Yezidees will not serve in the Turkish army, because their religion forbids tbem to mingle with the Mussulmans, but escape by paying a good round commutation fee yearly. The people are at the lowest stage of civilization, with no hope of rising eo long as Sheik Adi'a rules aro. in force. Under the influence of their conditions and of tho prejudices of their neighbors against tbem, thoy have become a sinister, malicious, treacherous people. Tho rite of hospitality, so sacred among the Bedouins, is unknown among them.

No one can feel safe among them. They attach no value to human life. To these ordinary dangers are added those arising from tbe embarrassing etiquette of conversational intercourse with thorn; for if any one inadvertently lets escapo the word dovil, Satan or anything Bounding like it, he commits a mortal offense; and to cut off his head is a God pleat ing act and a sacred duty of the Yezidee, tiie fulfillment of which will insuro him a place in paradise. Several letters are in like manner wholly banished from tho language, chiefly those which contain tho sound of a "shun;" also the Arabic word millet, "Thou art damned," whieh was spoken by God to the fallen angel when Ho pitched him into hell. Therefore all words containing similar sounds are sot aside and other combinations not belonging to any language are used in their stead Pointlar Science Monthly.

A Capitalist's Big Purchases at the Arrears Sales.

He InTPSts Nearly $300,000 With Handsome Results The Transactions of Other Bnyers Workings of the Redemption Provisions of the Law. One of the features of the Arrears law moBt complained of by delinquents and other assailants of this importent enactment is the redemption provisions. That is, the requirements which must bo met by those whose property has been sold by the llegistrar and who deBiro to redeem the same. It is true that in this respect the law is very stringent and exacting, and necessarily so, for tho reason that the framors of tho act, having in mind the unfortunato experience of tho city under tho old laws, were impressed by tho fact that in order to secure purchasers at these sales they must offer them liberal inducements. For a number of years prior to tho passage of tho Evarts act, tho Arrears law of 1883, no sales were held because the city could find no purchasers.

People were offered no inducements to buy, so they kept away altogether and the Bales wero discontinued. In the Evarts act thero was embodied a provision that an owner or other party in intorest, as tho case might be, could redoem, upon payment of a bonus of 1 0 per cent, upon the amount paid by tho purchaser at tho sale, with intoreBt at the rate of 15 per cent, per annum from the date of sale. In tho event of redemption not being made by the expiration of a year, the city was to give a deed of the proporty to the purchaser. Those provisions were incorporated in what haB become known as the "current arrears law," whieh was passed in 1885 and under which sales have been conducted since May 5, 1886 the latest having boon held in December. 1888.

The policy of tho city always has been to demand simply tho amount due it in eacli case. That is all it is entitled to. But there aro a number of moneyed men and some women, who at once recognized these sales as a field for profitable investment, and thoy have followed them almost from the starft Thoy have been posted in advance as to the character and desirability of proporty to bo offered, and in very many cases havo bid thousands of dollars above tho amounts of tho claims of tho city, knowing that the larger tho figure at 'which the property might be knocked down to them the larger would be their profits upon redemption. They were careful to purchase proporty whieh would bo most likely to bo roclaimed by the owners. In Bevoral instances syndicates of buyers were formed whose agents attended all tho sales and snapped up tho choicest parcels.

Formerly employes of the Arrears Department acted as agents, but this abuse was exposed and the then Bogistrar put an end to it. In this way some of the purchasers had realized very handsomely indeed, and while it is true that many delinqents havo been badly squoozed in the process of redemption, it is equally truo that tho success of the law in tho solution of the onco troublesome and disastrous arrears problom has boon duo in a very large measure to the penaltios thus imposed. The heaviest investor in tho business is Mr. Jame3 Bryar, a well known resident of this city, who has paid in purchase money at sales under tho act of 1885, not less than $201, 050 on some seventy four parcels. It is said that nearly all of this property has been or will bo redeemed.

Say that all of it will be redeemed. Thou tho sum on which interest at the rate of 15 per' cent, per annum must bo paid is increased by tho bonus from $201,050 to $287,815. Here arc Bomo of the Bryar purchases. The figures are taken from the official records: Due city. hnltl 2,500 4,000 8,500 4.000 2,000 1.500 2,000 1,500 8,000 5.0110 5,000 5,000 5,000 4.000 4,000 4,000 4,000 2,000 5.000 5,000 (i.OOO Duo cit.v.

There havo been other heavy buyers, but no one has approached Mr. Bryar.

It is understood that he acts for a syndicate iu which ho is a principal figure. Contractor Edward Freel jjias made investments to the amount of about $5 0,0 00. Alderman John McCarty was a frequent purchaser at sales up to a year or so ago. Ho is as clover in business as he is in politics, and his purchases turned out quite profitable. John M.

Clancy.Congressman elect has figured somewhat extensively at sales. It is said that he has for tbe most part invested trust funds for other parties. Moses May is another large purchaser. John F. Farrcll, of tho Second Ward, has invested liberally.

John G. Byrno has represented a Third Ward syndicato that has backed its confidence in the law with its money. Sophio Iverson seems to be the most prominent woman buyer. John and Benjamin Androws have bought considerably to protect their own interests, but it is whiBPered that thoy have also done something in the way of investment iu other property.

Hero is an illustration: John Doe owns a house and lot which have been sold for non payment of taxes, the purchaser being Bichard Iloe. Tho purchaser notifies the owner of the fact of the sale, and tho latter comes forward to redeem tho property.

Tho claim of tho city amounts to $28.31, but Boe bid the property up to $800, at which figure it was knocked down to him. Ho paid the $800 to the Begistrarof Arrears within forty eight hours after tho sale. Now, three months afterward, Doe makes preparations to redeem his house and lot and goes to tho office of tho Begis trar of Arrears, whero ho finds that ho must pay tho sum of $141.31, made up as follows: Tax, interest on tho same from date of levy of tax, December 1, 1880, to date of sale, $5 expenses of stvlo (this aggregate, 28.31, goes into the city treasury, being the amount of the city's claim); $80, tho bonus of 10 per cent, on the purchase price, and $33 interest for three months upon the $800, tho purchase price, and the $80 bonus. (This aggregate of $113 goes to Mr. Boo.) Mr.

Boo has in the city treasury $800 which ho paid on the Bale and gets back from the city on tho transaction $913. It thus appears from this statement that the city treasury received $800 from Mr. Boe on tho sale and $141.31 from Mr. Doo on the redemption, making a total of oi which $913 are paid back to the purchaser. If Mr.

Doe should not desire to redeem his property after ono year from notico to him and any others who may bo entitled under the law to notice (meaning mortgagees and others of record, intorest or estate), the purchaser wiB re coivo a deed from tho city and Mr. Doe, or tho person ontitlod to it, will receive from the city $771.09, being tho difference between tho $800 and tho city's claims. A BANJO CONCERT, At Whiclt Was Wituettscd Some Marvelous IMayiua on That Instrument. William C. Dore and hiB brother, John L.

Charles EvanB, who was to have sung with her in a duet, did not appear. Louis W.

The. Lady GItcs au Interesting lecture and Exhibits Some Brahmin Curiosities in Dr. Cuyler's Church. The lecture room of Dr. Cuyler's Church, at Oxford street and Lafayotte avenue, was turned into a museum of East Indian curiosities yesterday afternoon.

A lady in Brahmin costume added life to the picture. Upon the pulpit was spread a vast collection of curiosities gathered in Eastern countries. Thoy iucluded many queer and even ghastly articles manufactured by the Hindoos. Tho lecture' was very interesting and was especially important to the several ladies who constitute the Brooklyn Coffee. Stand Association.

About one hundred and fifty members, representing all the churches oai tho Hill, were present. The receipts taken at the door wore to be applied to tho benefit of this association. Mrs. H. Ballantino has been a traveler in the ancient climes for nineteen years.

During that tlmo she accompanied her husband, whoso business took him through tho East, into the deepest valleys, upon the highest peaks of the Himalaya Mountains and into tho presence of Eastern potentates. Thoy obtained entreo into many wonderful places where an American lady had never beforo been accorded the privileges of going. In tho province of Poouch, an independency ruled by a throned monarch, which is set back among the Himalayas, they wore received with high honors and were especially favored with royal attention. Thoy wore supplied with transportation out of his domains into tho province of Jhelmun, on tho borders of India, on the backs of elephants belonging to tho royal cavalcade, his Highness, tho King Presenting them with a silver howdiih from his own hand. Mrs.

Ballantino recited their adventures aud described the customs and people in a graphic manner. Sho conducted her audience on "a Hying trip through India and over the Himalaya Mountains into tbe valo of tho Cashmere." Tbe curiosities sho brought home included a valuable, collection of viows including a miniature model of tho "kisti" or Cashmere, the peculiar boat in which they journeyed upon the river Ilydaspes from Bara Moola, India, to Srinagar, Cashmere. She also showed a drum made out of the skulls of human beings. Notwithstanding the operation of drying and cleaning to which they had hecn subjected, the stubs of scarcely perceptible clumps of hair could bo seen upon the heads of tho drums, confirming tho statement that human scalps were used whore sheepskin is now supplied. Thero were alBoa trumpet made of the thigh Ijoneftf a man and copper water jugs which arc intrinsically valuable, being made by beating into the copper decorations of unalloyed gold and completing the fanciful by burning in blue enamel.

The Persian candlestick made of the same material had a gold cobra entwined about it. A small urn receives the oil, and tho wick is dropped loosely into it, leaving ono end to hang out of a spout. There were innumerable other valuables which greatly delight and afford one much material for study. Leaving Brooklyn direct for Bombay, they pro caeded by train through India to Bawl Bindeo. Mrs.

Lallantiuo describes her journey from that place, from which the following is summarized: Wo tool; a tanga, or two wheeled conveyance, and ascended to the crest of the Himalaya range, making a journey of forty miles. Vie left the at Murree and proceeded by saddle horses for a two weeks' journey over dizzy precipices and through valleys where birds ot plumage were our constant companions, soaring about us with a confidence that was surprising. Among them wero the Paradise fly catcher and the Himalayan pheasants. The atmosphere was ladened with the aroma of wild brier, and the rich perfumes that we were repeatedly inhaling made us think of paradise. What particularly interested us as a feature of that country were the numerous floating gardens that are found upon the sparkling bosoms of the lakes in that country.

They aro made of the roots and tops of bulrushes that soring up from the crystal depths. These form a floating foundation upon which tho soil rests, and upon these artificial, floating islands are raised the most nutritious vegetables grown in the world. Visiting the Manasbul lake in our kisti (boat) wo found what is known as a or Holy Man, who romiudod us of a modern Socrates. He could neither read nor write, and ho possessed wonderful ideas of lite. Ho waB for six months engaged with a wooden pickax in excavating in the side of tho mountain a cave which ho contemplated for his own tomb.

Tho excavation extended into the earth feet. Wo were piloted to its exten and wore shown at its farthest end a place he had hollowed out tor the final resting place of his remains. Beforo leaving tho valo or Cashmere, I visited the richest banker's wifo in tho province. She was shut away from the world, as is tho custom there, occupying magnificent quarters, the walls and ceilings of which woro elaborately carved wood. She was dressed in tho richest of silks Hardis trimmed with elaborato gold lace.

Tho and most costly gems ornamented her neck, head, arms, liugers and ankles. While receiving tho usual token of respect accorded those outside of the Cashmere cast, namely, having a drop of sandal wood oil rubbed on the back of my bauds and a beautiful bouquet placed in front of me that I might admire it and inhale its fragrance, I asked Budrodecn's wife the question I frequently asked Zenana ladies: If sho had no desiro'to go outside her beautiful house and seo the street life hor husband saw every day. Sho replied: "I have every luxury that wealth can procure; what more is tltore to enjoy." I came away feeling that I had witnessed a genuine case illustrating the adage, "Where ignorance is bliss 'tis folly to bo wise." On leaving the valley wo mounted our horses and roturned over the same fearful precipices, climbing by roads that hardly seemed possible to ascend and clearing huge bowlders and terrifying chasms with a single bound of our noble animals. Beaching the summit where we wore in the midst of the cold and snows of Winter we could look off to great distances beyond the far stretching country at our feet into climes whero Autumn, Spring and Summer prevailed. We descended into Summer.

At Muehil we learned of the tragical doath of a child from a Porsian lamp, a sample of which I have shown you. Thousands of lives have been sacrificed to it bv accident. It is tho custom to fasten tho lamp, or what thoy call stove, which yon soo is nothing more than a metal pot, to a girdle about the waist. Frequently the wearer goes to sleep with it resting against bis vitals and the fiuid spills upon his person, burning him to death. FOR A NEW RECTORY.

KcniKcn Street Properly Vnrehtiscil by the Vestry ot SI. Ann's Church. The vestry of St. Ann's Protestant Episcopal Church, on the Heights, ha ve purchased the large and pleasant three story brick house 79 Bemsen street of Mrs. Dexter, for a church rectory.

It is not known that St. Ann's, in the 100 years of its existence, has ever before provided its rector with a permanent home. St. Ann's Church is one of the finest architectural works in the city, and it has long been the desire of the members that the rector of this large free church should have a home provided by them and in keeping with tho character of tho church and tho neighborhood. When the edifice wasbuilt, however, some amends were made for not providing the rector with a home by giving him a study which, in its decorations aud collide teuess, is a perfect work of art.

A few months ago the vestry concluded that the time had come to procure a rectory, and since then they have been on the lookout. The house No. 70 is on the north side of the Btreet, about midway between Hicks and Henry streets. The price paid is said to be between 000 and The house is sufficiently large for a good sized family and is most convenient to the church. The interior will be enhanced by the decorator and painter, the brown stone trimmings on the front will bo chipped and many other improvements made.

It is the intention of the vestry to spend at least $1,200 in repairs aud improvements. Tho rector, Bev. Dr. lteeso S. Alsop, said ho was much delighted with tho idea of having a permanent homo.

Dr. Alsop now resides at 28 Garden place, and will hardly movo into the now rectory until aftor Lent. The lato Dr. Schenck, the former rector of St. Ann's, lived for many years in the largo double houso on the corner of Henry and Pierropont streets, which was torn down last Summer to make way for a new building.

anil particularly the last paragraph on pace 2 2 1, he will prohahly learu that tho Goronor has sufficient proof to warrant him in arresting Dr. Hall and Mrs. llarriman for complicity in tho Dudgeon Cody case. That case (People vs. Monrton) holds that when a coroner's inqnest iB held before it is ascertained that a crime has been committed or beforo any person has been arrested charged with the crime, and a witness is called and sworn before the coroner's jury, the testimony of that witness, should ho afterward be charged with the crime, may bo used against him on his trial, and the mere fact that at ''tho time of his examination he was aware that a crime was suspected aud that he was suspected of being the criminal will not prevent his being regarded as a mere witness whose testimony may be afterward given in evidence ngainat himself But if, at the time of his examination, lie desires to protect himself lie must claim his privilege.

There is an exception in the case of one who is arrested for committing tho crime and who is examined beforo the coroner's Jury. (See last paragraph of page 221 and continued on page 222.) From the misleading statements made by the learned Assistant District Attorney to Coroner Itoojiey, reported in last evening's Eagle, it would Becm as if the politicians had commenced their work where it was possible, and unless the Coroner nets on his own responsibility or seeks the advice of someone not connected with that peculiar machine of justice (the District Attorney's ofiiec) there is danger that Dr. JTall and Mrs. Hnrrinian will not be here to testify against Dudgeon on his trial.

In Case of such trouble you will be blamed for it and your opponents will make capital of it against you.

In this statement Deacon Kichardson says the company is and has been losing money every day and to comply with the strikers' present demand would bean additional loss of over $.

The is tho method of losing money every day and growing richer every year. Deacon liichni'd oti also says in this statement: "The railroad company could only pay 0 percent, dividend to the stockholders last year," hut he did not, mention the amounts expended in buying up other roads, erecting expensive horse and car stables and amounts that have been paid for stopping the construction of the Fiftli Avenue Elevated Kail road. Nor was there anything saiil of tin; money expended for the election of President elect Harrison.

WOMEN" IX SCHOOL BOARDS.

A Correspondent's lieasons Why They Ought to be There. To the Editor of the. Brooklyn Eayle: "This is not a move to put women into Baid Miss Le Itowe, in her appeal for the appointment of women on our school boards. "It is a move to take school children and thousands of women out. of polities." There are three great questions whose consideration moves women to claim a voice in government.

They are, the question of civil justice to women, the question of intemperance anc' the school (jncstion. Let me borrow a bit of excellent reasoning from Miss Lo Bowe's address, without restating it, and say that the three questions may be included in one, the last. Through representation on school boards, earnest and capable women will, in time, succeed in the elevation of their sex to a consciousness of its rights and to a vigor of fearlessness in asserting thein. Through the same channels they will elevate the chivnlric sex to a greater chivalry and justice and to a finer responsiveness to the moral force of woman. They will also get at tho problem ot in temprauce.

They will show the deeper responsibility of the schools, and how tho schools should sustain it. These are phases of education, even of public school education, that only women aro fitted to deal with. Inspired men have turned these to light from time to time, eo by their womanly more than by their'mascu Iinc qualities, just as exceptional women have excelled in masculine departments of thought and labor. Some men can lay the baby in the cradle without waking him and some women can plan a campaign, but as a rule the kind of greatness that expresses itself in character molding belongs to woman and the Napoleonic to man. Man has had hts systematically educated; woman has had Iter's systematically snubbed.

Both are needed in our school boards, and while a good deal has been done by tho man alone, the mistake of excluding the other is becoming very sadly apparent. Generous is the soul that sees, acknowledges and corrects its own mistakes. That men are beginning to see and to own the great moral blunder they have perpetrated in arrogating to them selves all right to dominate the educational interest is ono of the most admirable of their later reaches.

The proposition to nnita New I'oiic and Brooklyn in ono municipal organization is again mooted, and the occasion therefor is in the acknowledged fact that further means of communication botweon tbem is imperatively needed. Tho Brooklyn Bridge is found inadequate, tho ferry system is both inadequato and unsatisfactory; and the only recourse is a new bridge or a tunnel under tho river, at a not distant day. Tho bridge is tbo moro probable. The present bridge, which encountered much opposition, was constructed at a cost of about $12,000,000, and the annual expense of operating it is a full million. But its benefits havo boon very great; and in fivo years the value of property on tho Brooklyn side has increased over $100,000,000, the interest on which pays the bridge's expenses several times over.

New York City is circumscribed. Manhattan Island is already well filled, and the ovorfloV population reaches out twenty to thirty miles about. Long Island is a natural resilience suburb, and there tho suporabnndant people of tho metropolis will naturally domicile, provided only the means of getting thereto and coming therefrom are sufficient and convenient. Hence the new bridge enterprise, whieh may be expected soon to take definite form. Mayor Chapiu recommends it, and already the search for the best location is being made.

So great and advantageous an improvement will not languish; thero is behind it a necessity, which will compol success. Mayor Grant, of Now York, lias taken ground in opposition to the proposed bridge, to the extent that, as tho benefits are to accrue wholly to Brook yn, that city should pay tho cost. This expression is considered narrow and illibornl. It cannot bo justly said that New York City would not be benefited by the increased facility across the East Biver. It does, indeed, become necessary because of New York's cramped limits.

Tho excess of people doing business in tho great city must domiciio somewhere, and is not Brooklyn tho most natural and desirable placo? Other officers and representatives of Now York's interests, those of business in particular, favor the union of tbe two cities and the extension of means of communication. Tbore is, indeed, a good deal of favor shown toward the annexation of Jersey City also. The history of other great cities of the world, in the growih of extensive suburbs and their ultimate absorption, will be repeated in tho instance of the City of New York and its natural accessions. Not one more, but a number of bridges will span the East Biver, and tunnels will connect Jersey City and other largo and growing communities with the main city, and these things will come about much sooner than now seems probable. All this is iu tho very nature of things.

It is bound to be, in response to an inevitable law of tho common interest and association. After the bridges and the tunnels will como tho union under a municipal system. Why not give the three or four million people, now in adjacont relations, and in business and political sympathy, a State organization as well 1 iSjracuxe Journal. MAJOR GRAVES DYING. The Son ot One of the Principals in the tiraves Cilley Duel.

News has been received hero that Major William Preston Graves, familiarly called by his friends "Tip," iB dying at Little Bock, whero ho has been stationed with his regiment, the Second Artillery, tho past two years. Major "Tip" Graves was born in the old Graves mansion, on Walnut street, between Third and Fourth, and is now about 45 years of age. In 1 801 he volunteered to ser in the Union Army, enlistiug under General Nelson, who was killed at tho Gait Houso by General Jefferson C. Davis the succeeding year. Ho served with distinction, and won his rank of commissioned major in the regular army by his own merit and gallantry.

Hig wife, who was Miss Scott, of Maryland, and four children are living. Major Graves is the only living son of William Jordan Graves, who was elected Congressman for thiB aistrict in 1831 and was several times reelected. The elder Graves was at ono time one of the most noted men in tbe United States, his duel with Jonathan Cilley, Congressman from Maine, boing ono of tho notable events in American history. Next to tho duel between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr, uo event of tho character ever attracted as much attention as that between Graves and Cilley. Mr.

Cilley was a personal friend of Mr. Graves, and tho duel was tho result of the exactments of the bo called code of honor, as it existed in those days. Cilley and James Watson Webb, of New York, had some trouble, and Webb challenged Cilley. Mr. Graves was the bearer of the message.

Cilley refused to receive a challenge from Webb, and tbe demands of tho code were that where the challenged party did not deem the challenger fit to meet him in the field, the second should take the place of the principal thus dishonored. Owing to tho personal relations existing between them, Mr. Graves waB troubled that the necess ity of lighting his friend should arise. But if he had not challenged Cilley ho would havo been disgraced in the eyes of all the country. So the challenge was sent and accepted.

Billos at eighty yards were the conditions, and the two Congressmen met at Bladons burg, February 24, 1838. Cilley was noted as one of the most skillful shots of the day, while Graves was not at all used to firearms. Graves expected to bo kille but to the surprise of all at the third fire Cilley fell dead, Graves' bullot having reached a vital spot. William Jordan Graves died hero in September, 1848, in his forty fourth year. His other children, beside Major Graves, who is now dying, woro Isham Graves, who has been dead many years, aud Mrs.

Harriot Graves Osborne, wife of tho late J. D. Osborne, who. with George D. Prentice and Isham Henderson, were publishers of tho LouiBvillo Journal.

Mrs. Osborne is now at her brother's bedside. Major Graves is an uncle of Mr. W. G.

While waiting patiently for developments I found that' the liquid was being lowered or let out by some means. Soon a smooth black surface appeared to view and as tho water continued to recede I became aware that a captive whale was on exhibition. Surprised at not having to pay any admission fee, I was soon made aware of the reason. A framework had been constructed, on which tho animal rested, and soon an oxpert milkman was engaged iu extracting for the consumptives whaloid (or whale's milk) which was greedily absorbed at five shiU ings per glass.

This plan seems to be identical with that of the milkmen in NapleB, who lead a cow to the door and deliver the fluid in the presence of the consumer, so that the latter can bo satisfied that no illogel dilution is indulged in. I had hardly recovered from my surprise at this unique idea of getting nature's own emulsions when I was to encounter a severer shock.

WHY HE HADE THE SPEECH. A teller of Explanation From Mr. A. II. S)dlnr(.

To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eaale: My attention has just boon called to a letter from Mr. Laurence Y. Carroll, published in your issue of January 22, in reference to a speech made by me at Palaco Bink, on January 18. The lettor invites some explanation of the manner in which I happened to be a speaker on the occasion roferred to. I waB given fo understand, prior to my acceptance of the invitation to speak, that the club, of which Mr.

Carroll is president, was a thoroughly independent organization, opposed to ring rule in politics, and desiring an earnest advocacy of new blood in the councils of the Democratic party. I spoke directly to that subject and against tbe crowd that I believed owned the organization of this county. I did not know (lint I was expected to make an attack on the Democratic leaders in the Fourteenth Ward. Had I been so informed, I would have promptly declined to speak. Mr.

Car roil fails to sec that vigorous opposition to tho main ring in the county must necessarily affect the insignificant branches of it that control the various ward organizations and against one of which he seems to be in an antagonistic mood. I desire to express my extreme sorrow for Mr. Carroll; never having held an office and not being a striker for one, my independent views of party management may lead mo at times to be lacking in that enthusiastic admiration for Mr. Hugh McLaughlin with which Mr. Carroll seems to be imbued.

I regret if any injury has been done Mr. Carroll by my remarks, but know of no way by which I can remedy the injury. I am not on speaking terms with Mr. McLaughlin, but if Mr. Carroll will introduco me, I shall only bo too happy to assure the boss that my speech was not revised by Mr.

Carroll prior to its delivery. Allan M. Stodoaut. Buooklvn, January 30. 1 880.

JEWS A.l GENTILES. Their I'osisiiblc Arecnacat DistiiisnitMl by One of (he f.rittcr. To the Editor of the Brooklyn An editorial in your issue of January 20, "The liapprochement of Jew and is so full of interest that the writer hopes the subject may not be permitted to die out for lack of further inquiry by your readers. The opening of your columns for the discussion of any subject that can rightly be treated to such publication is a privilege that is fully appreciated by your readers. In this article the lvtui.t: has evolved a theory to whieh it apparently gives the strength of its personal indorsement, aud hence it seems to me you should moro fully explain its ramifications.

I cannot conceive a satisfactory religious state of mind that leaves nothing between me and tho. Supremo Being on which to rest or from which to draw inspiration and through which by example and faith to be lifted up higher than human effort or hope can itself ranch. As far as history has recorded the religions of men I do not find any system that has had a following worthy the name that has not reached tho Supremo Being, either as in the Christian, through a part of Himself, i. e. by Christ or by some mediatorial form, and I gather from the truth of Disraeli's idea, as you express it, that one of the prime forces that lias made the Christian religion the power it is lies in the fact that man recognizes in Jesus Christ flic one recorded life that, though 'tempted in all points as wo are," withstood sin and stands alone as tbe perfection of human possibility in the combat against sin.

The impossibility of understanding tho relationship toward God assumed by Jesus Christ does not forbid belief in its truth, but the su 'preme perfection of His earthly life, which stands distinct, separate and above all men who have ever lived, does enable one to believe that in order to sustain such continuous rectitude there must have been within Him a nearness to tho Supremo Being which, if not a part of that Being, was still such special evidence of His nearness to Him that man may be justified in accepting Christ's mediation, and regarding Him as part of the Godhead even if he cannot understand the mystery of His sonship. To throw overboard faith in existing belief, and to regard the Scriptures as mere historical essays, of value only as showing the scholarship, thought, environments and hopes of the past ages, would bo justified if proof of positive orror could be certainly shown. But to turn men from a groundwork of faith that, howevermuchof error or false teaching may have grown up around it, is still a bright and sufficient guide to millions on millions of thinking as woll as unthinking men, and point them to "a Christ who teaches salvation, not through belief in Him as a member of the Godhead, but salvation based on conscience and moral living, involving a fixed and rational cogitation of the Creator of all things by tho working of infallible laws, to whom tho soul is to be responsiblo hereafter for the deeds done in the body," is simply robbing religion of its best form of faith and throwing man back upon a "cogitation of the Creator of all things" from a standpoint that holds nothing of a supreme love through contact with suffering: that offers nothing of divine merev from His actual exporionco of its need, and lifts no hope in any human heart that He who created all things holds for man one single thought of existence beyond that which is governed by the "infallible laws" that teach nothing of hope of rewardjhereafter "for the deeds done in the body." What is there in all creation that gives man the right to hope that beyond this life is another for his soul? What right have we to assume that we havo within our bodies a spiritual element that shall enjoy eternal existence Nature does not teach it, and the ever familiar figure of the budding trees of Spring that, full leafed in Summer, fall to decay in Autumn, sleep in peaceful security through Winter's cold, and then again bud, blossom and livo, is no just simile of eternal lite for man. because, finally, following natural laws, the process weakens and the whole tree falls to decay and passes away. Take Jesus Christ, as the Son of God.

from out religious thought aud the whole inspiration and tho ono possible hope of future life for tho soul of man is removed from man's life, and in turning to the godof nature ho turnsonly toonewhowillburylus bodv in her own silent dust, and over his gravo mark Finished. No man of souse will to day question the existence of a Supremo Being: hut what man of sense can substantiate a hope or belief that that Supremo Being has any special concern for man above all other things that Ho has created, that He should reward him by giving him another, and that an eternal, existence aftor this lifeexcept as Jesus Christ, accepted by faith as tho Son of God, holds out to us a reward and hope, that tho porfectness of His lifo upon earth, the acceptance of His resurrection by ub, and the promise that His continuance among men through the Holy Spirit will give to each of us oneness with Him as children of God and heirs of eternal life?
