Descended in direct lino from tba thrifty, stendfast ftud liberty loving Hollnuders, who introduced the civilization of the old world to this part of the new befora any English ship hftd entered the port of New York, he retained nmid the feverish and ohangef ul condition of modern society the most distinctive characteristics of bis ancestry. To discerning eyes he was a walking revelation of the qualities, joined of course to exceptionally great leadership, which raised the Netherlands from insignificance to a position of the first order in th European councils of the Sevonteanth Century, qualities which are quite as indispensable in the United States as they wore in the Kingdom of the North Sea, if our advantages arc not in the course of tune to Bhrivel like Dead Sea fruit in our hands. We have, owing to various influences, become much more enamored of the fiue old English gentleman, one of the olden time than of the homely uuromantio Dutchman of the same period. Yet it is highly probable that the li.2piness of our people is much move depondoiit upon their ability to reproduce the simple habits, the perseverance, the fine uu thoatrical courage, and the resolute love of individual freedom which distinguished the population of the United Provinces, than upon any emulation of the more showy personages who fluttered round the court of Elizabeth or performed on the stage of the Cromwellian commonwealth. Tba history of Holland is the Iliad of honest industry Not by Machiavellian diplomacy, and just as little by Napoleonio feats of anus, but by patient toll, by self denial, by self oontvoi.

by frugality was reared that fabric which defied alike the shock of the resting a man and either Bonding him to jail or putting him under heavy bonds solely on tho affirmation of men whose business it is to make oat a case for those who employ and pay them. The Star Koute Fraud. The deaper the investigation of ths man agement of tho Star postal routes goes, the clearer it becomes that tha dofonso set up for General Brady by his friends is untenable, Of these so oalled Star routes there are 9,225 iu all The Times publishes a table giving the location and number of ninoty tlirea of them, the names of the contractors, the length of the routes, tho amount of the original annual pay and the increase allowad by the Seoond Assistant Postmaster General. Tho exhibit thus made presenU one of the most striking ohapters of extravagance and corruption in tho history of tho administra tion of the departmont. With such mcon trovortiblo facts as a basis of judgment, it is impossible to resist the conolusion that General Bradv was the Offioial head of a ring that has for years deliberately and systematically plundered the Governmont to satisfy the parasites in whose behalf it was orgauizod.

According to the original contracts the aggregate for which theso niuoty three routes were let is $737,119 per annum. Undor the manipulations of the ring this ag gregate was swollen to nearly The fraud practiced is plaiuly indicated iu many instances by the subletting of tho routes and the prompt extension oE increasod compensation to'the lessees. Doubtless, tho original contractors were moro dummies, and tha real beneficiaries succeoded to their rights by paying a bonus for them, with the distinct understanding that General Brady would grant the additional pay. In no instance, wo bo lievo, does the cvidimoe show that tho extra allowance was justified by the actual needs of the service. The mere fact that men conld be found to do the work on any of the enumerated routes, say for ono half or two thirds less than the sum awarded a month later to the lessees, is enough to throw suspicion upon the whole system.

Take, for instance, tho route running from Fort Worth to Yuma. The contract price was $134,000, but within thirty days after the letting, General Brady added $105,000 to it, maktng a total of per annum. The pretoxt for so extravagant an advance was the reduction of tho schedule lime from seventeen days to fifteen days. But the proofs of favoritism and pocu lation are not limited to this class of facts. Cornelius Cosgrove is tho contractor for the Las Vegas and Las Cruces route iu Now Mexico.

He undertook to perform the service for $15,000. Tho amount actually paid for it, however, is 1,000. Cosgrove's backers wore S. B. Elkins, tho delegato to Congress from New Mexico, Logan H.

Root, formerly a representative from Arkansas, and now president of the Merchants' Bank, of Little Rock, and a party by tho name of Kerns, who is ona of the directors of the Iron Mountain Railroad Company. The influence of these persons procurod tho ad vauce above mentioned. Cosgrove has since repeatedly stated that of the ho received but while tho balance was paid to Kerns through drafts ou tho Sixth Auditor. It is unnecessary to go beyond suoh a revelation to get a correct idea of tho true inwardness of the star route management. The exposuro of the motive for the increase in the case of Cosgrove is enough to indicate tho charaoter of Brady's dealings with other contractors.

What is true of one is probably true of all. A bolder and more flagrant system of spoliation it would be difficult to conceive. The Crusade Against It is by no meaus improbable that the coming Summer will bring with it one advantage that New Yorkers and Brooklynites have not en joyed for many years, namely, perfect freedom from tha unpleasant odors which necessitate the closing of windows in hot weather. The State Board of Health has been making an examination of the so called stench factories on New town Creek, Barren Island and elsewhero, has condemned many existing methods and tabooed the use of sludge acid aB a source of evil smells. The balmy fragrance for which Hunter's Point and the neighboring districts are famous, will be discontinued.

Governor Cornell's proclamation demands the abatement of the nuisance by June 1. No doubt lurgo number of people will be much gratified by this prospect, whioh will have the additional advantage of novelty. But there are two sides to this question, aud while, without doubt, the public should not be victimized with unhealthy smells, it is equally clear that the great industries which contribute so much to the prosperity of tho two cities should be interfered with as little as possible. As for the factories on Newtown Creek, at which tho proclamation is principally aimed, it will not be claimed that their owners deliberately chose for thoir site the center of a populous district, and instantly set to work to give offense. The population of Long Island City and the 'part of Brooklyn which complains was at the time of the location of these works very small.

Property has increased in value, and the sparse has become dense, not in spite of the so called nuisances, but as a direct oonsequence of the industries that give rise to them. It is manifestly unjust to let an investment of capital build up a community for the benefit of others, and then suddenly expel, by severe restrictions, the men who have contributed so much to tho welfare of a neighborhood. This view of the matter cannot, we think, be too seriously urged upon our readers. Already the imposition of penalties and restrictions has driven out some of our most thriving in. stitutions, like the sugar refineries, and if the public has made up its mind to tolerate nothing that is unpleasant, it will find itself reduced to the village state very soon.

One puts up with the heat, dust and noise of a large city cheerfully for the sake of the compensations of urban life. If it were possiblo to combine all the advantages of city, country, mountain air and seaside pleasures at onoc, it would be desirable to do it. But it is not possiblo. The smells complained of may, perhaps, bo modified aud at least rendered healthful, but if tho offort is pushed too faro make Long Island City a model sanitarium, the residents aud property owners must expect to find thoir real estate get down to acre valuation. They cannot have everything.

Dog Starring The dog show which is to open to morrow at tho American Institute, in Now York, promises to excol all previous exhibitions of a similar kind. Many dogs who thought it be neiith their dignity to cross the Atlantic in order to exhibit their parts before the curious stare of the mere American biped, on former occasions, have been induced by the better ea')in accommodation provided for them by the ocean steamors, Tind by the improved stalls and kennels which the managers have erectod for them, to brave the nausea of the briny deep. It is also possible that the best members of the canine aristocracy in England were touched with a feeling of emulation when they hoard of the visits of live lords, who are inferior to them in high tone and good breeding, to these shores, which have of late become so fashionable. At all events, it is with no little delight that we are ablo to record as items of "fashionable intelligence" that his Majesty, the Emperor "Fred," the pure Lav erack setter, is expected hourly, and that his Honor the Mayor of Bingley, who is a glorious Newfoundland, is already here. That suporb mastiff, the Marquis of Salisbury, has quite recovered from sea sickness, and receives the dictations of other "sad sea dogs" in his kennel.

Talking of these illustrious canine parsonages, th following inoldent and conversation in reference to one of them is narrated by a representative of the Eaolb whose veracity we have no reason to doubt'. A gentleman from Yorkshire accosted him in tho street with the abrupt query 'Ow. about this 'ere dog show? Is it now a goin' on, and hif ft be, can ye tell mo if tho Mayor of Bingley 'as arrived, 'oos I wants to see 'iin, ssein' as "I 'ail from Bingley, whioh is my native "place in Hingland." Well, really," said the literary critic, I can hardly tell you. "What sort of looking person is his Honor th Mayor of Bingley? Why, bless your 'art, he 'ajnt no man at all he's a dog, and "as he comos from the same village, I thought I would go and soe him." a tniii), nf nnf iii'til anntimanf. arid nni.

Can by soonatotable lil Nassau owner's fssi i Lecture by Colonel Johnson on the Poets and Statesmen of Ireland. Shorldan, Burke, Gold.mlth, Swift, Par nell Moetlngs of tho Thirteen and Twentieth Ward Branches. Undor the auspices of Branoh 21 of the Land League, Colonel Johnson delivered a lecture ye.

torday afternoon, In the basomant of St. Augustine's Churon, Fifth arenas and Bergen street. The au dlouo was Urge and attentive, and the oolonel, who spoke of "Irish Statesmen and Poets," was almost continuously interrupted with applause. The leoturor oonfesssd that his ohoioe of a subject was very largsly influenced by tho laot that there were so many descendants of Irfahmonin America who knew praotionlly nothing of the literature of Ireland. The period at which that literature was Incorporated into the English language was, he said, a comparatively recent one.

The eloquence of the statesmen of Ireland had, de olarod tho colonel, made the English language jlasslo. Charlos T. Parneli mors thoroughly represented Ireiana than his gloomy and misanthropic oompanlon, wn. Tho latter, with weakness not common to minds, had a most intense dislike to anything Sootch. He had, when he reached England, the Btroug rancor or a man who hated everythiug in tha shape of oppression.

The lecturer here told a story of the dean wlilcn he thought threw Into relief a remarkable trait aetor. For tho dlsoorery of the writer of an article or which Swift was the anonymous author, a reward nan beeu offered, Swift's butler, wno WAS IN TBI BBCBBT, seemed to take advantage of his power by treating his master with loss than customary deferonoe. awnt promptly discharged him, telling him to turn informer. The crfncluiion of the story is that the butler was faithful though discharged, and was finally restored to favor with a pension for fidelity. The lecturer submitted that no mattorwhat the sharaoterof the emorgonoy, Ireland had invariably found good men to meet it the first among tho foremost.

In a sketch of Oliver uoia smitli, good, amiable and unfortunate, ho dosoriued him as a man who thought with simplicity and who apoke or wrote with an eioquouoo which withstood the sharpest orUiclsm. Of tha ParnellB it was enough to say that there was genius In tho family mat tho descendants of Charles T. Paruoll were as much entitled to distinction a those of Longfellow would be a fow yoars hence. Recurring to Swift, Colonel Johnson quoted his eavago attack upon tho Duke of Marlborough, immediately after the latter's death, quoting also tho last verao panned by tho unfortunate dean, who loft his fortune for an insane asylum, to whioh he himself wsb among the first to bo committed. Edmund Burke was next dwelt upon at considerable length, the lecturer's ENTHUSIA8TI0 ADMIBATION nf thst murvelmis orator flndlnn esnression In every sentonce.

But ths impeachment of Warren Hastings was oharaotcrlsed as an oratonoai aomevemeui iirau would carrv the name of its author down to the most remote Iposterlty. Many interesting points in Sheridan's history were oallod to ths attention of the audience, chiof among them being tho difference whioh Wuuan Rnrlra unit RhftHiTatl whan th.0 formOr joined the ministerial ranks. Eurke was president of a donating society wnion met in a naser enop. alluded to him aa the man who got his oloquenoe from baker and his bread from tne ministry. lecturer said thai Sheridan had written the wittiest play, mado the wittiest remarks, fonght lbs most Bavage duel of bis time; in.

short, was a wan of accomplishments so varied that he shone In OTorrthintr. He died bankrupt and Insolvent, the con stable takings blanket from under him a few hours nerore ms aeatu, ana tnac monster oi murauty, uuurgo, beinir ona of Ills nail bearers. He died in want and the great men of the earth attended his funeral. He was brilliant, whllo Burke was profound he wsb genial, while Burke was snstere; ho had an inimitable manner of narration wmie nurie aiyie was so uuiur tunate that he often Bpoke to empty bonohSB. The great triumviate, Burke, Sheridan and.

Fox, had helped forward the greatest event of history the starting point which crowned the hopos of mankind, the open log of an asylum for the oppressed of overy land. Thirteenth Ward Branch. The Thirteenth Ward branch of the Land league held a meeting, yesterday afternoon, in National Hall, on Fourth Btreet, corner of South First, whioh Dr. Breen presided. Tho Committee of Conference to arrange for a union with the ladles' branch of the ward said that tho proposition waB favorably recoiled by tho ladies and only waited their determination to be consummated.

Tho best means to push tho sale of tiokots for the entertainment to be given in the Masonlo Temple, next Wednesday ovoning, under the auspices of the ladles' branch, was discussed. Among the pictures illustrated on oimvaea will be ono of Archbishop Croke, of Cashel, tho masterly defender of the land league In Irolaud. Treasurer Kerwln announoed that he had forwarded 303 to Central Tresauror Walsh, and that there was a goodly balance on hand. Action will be taken on th report of the Union Conference Committee, at the next meeting, when a full attendance of members is expected. Tivcutieth Ward Mrauch.

A meeting of the Twentieth Ward Parneli Land League Branch, No. 22, was held'jcsterday afternoon in the chapel of the Ohuroh of the Saorsd Heart, on Vauderbflt avenue. The attendance was large. Mr. II.

F. McGoldrlok acted as president and Sfr. Landon Lonnon as seoretary. The chairman introduced Mr. l'atrick Rodgere, who said that but yesterday ho had reoolvod notice of a doBire to have him address tho Land League of the Twentieth Ward, therefore he threw himself on their kind indulgence for his unprepared remarks, but as he proceedod he certainly manifested his deop, heartfelt sympathy in the cause he represented.

But a month sluoo he left his nativo laud, and having beon there recognized as the organizer and seoretary of the Land League in Donegal County, ho epoke of what ho knew, and ha was proud to find that ths appeals of suffering Irishmen on tho soil of Erin met with such hearty response in the hearts of Irishmen in America. Applause. For it has ever been my experience that, no matter where the son of Ireland dirocts his footsteps, his heart alwaya turns with truest affections to ths land of his birth. Force and rebellion by no means constituted the mainspring of the prinolpleB of the Land League, but with that patient and vigilant watching and waiting that has ever characterized the Irish nation they not only hoped, but expected that in a day not far distant Irolaud would assert and maintain a plaoe among the nations of the earth. So far as the English Parliament was ooncerned, he placed but littlo faith in its aotlon.

For tbe first time In the history of Ireland since the union Donegal had given the cold shoulder to tho Tories and elected Liberals. Already our hopes are frustrated. We have lost confidence iu Tory and Liberal alike, but with Ireland rising In her might as sho Is doing to day, seconded by ths noble efforts and ths material aid of the land leagues In America, sho is marohing on to victory, and ere long Euglaud will find her tomb, as did tbe Borne of antiquity. The president said that after the remarks of Mr. Rod gars he did not boo why people did not come up and join the league.

A new feature of the meetings, be said, was recitations by members who had consented to ao entertain the audionoe. Mr.TThomas Fogarty recited "Death of the Homeward Bound" aud Mr. David McCoskor recited "The Battle of Fontenoy." Both efforts were received with great satisfaction. Previous to adjournment thB ohairman gave notice that the next meeting would be held on the 8th of May, when the Rev. Father McOullum and tbe Hon.

J. McCarthy Soully would be present and addvess thorn. Tnrnty sccoud Ward Branch. The usual weekly meeting of the Twenty second Ward branoh of the Land League was held yesterday afternoon at Eureka Hall, corner of Fifth avenue and Seventh street, ex Judge Delmar in the chair and 3. J.

Duggan recording. The report from tbe Lecture Committee was received, from which it appeared that the proaeeds of the lecture delivered by Father Sheeny, at Templar Hall, wree nearly $200 and that very few tickets were yet to be settled for. After the transaction of other business of a routine nature the branch adjourned for two weeks. During the meeting Judge Delmar expressed the belief that at least $200 more could be added to tho amount alrsady eollected by the members of that branch, It a little extra exertion were made by them, and hoped that they would oontlnue to bring in new members, HEW MU8KUH. Tho new museum at Nos.

424 and 420 Fulton street, is of the dime order, and, as a show, la an institution which is appreciated by all classes and ages. This is hardly to be wondered at when the measure of tbe ten cent entertainment is taken. As we ester works of art la fresco first attract attention. On ths walls doWM one aide of the ball are to bo seen representations of the "Temple of Vesta at Tlvoli," the "Temple of Minerva Medica," the Arch of Constantine and the "Arch of Titus." On the opposite side, are faithful copies of tho "Ponte Salaro," the "Baths of Dlo eleslan," the "Temple of Baoohua" and the "Templo of the Dea These are alternated with figures in a variety of attitudes designed to exhibit graceful movements under the reign of Terpsichore, The influence of these works, showing as they do representations of tho historic and real, Is healthful and refining. It la all the better that beneath each picture is Inscribed the title in English, so that all can read, and if so disposed, inquire further, The performances would pschapa be called by some grotesque, but they are not.

The dances, yells, songs and wild gesticulations of tha Indians give the spectators a eorreot idea of some of the phases of Indian life, and show how disgusting the BSvageu are when in their native state of barbarism, suggesting many a reflection upon the possibility of there being a good deal of savagery in the world, not always oonfined to the West, which passes for refinement, beoauso It wears the habiliments of civilization and culture. Langlols, the Indian juggler, is a marvel of dexterity. In hla hands, balls, bottles, kuives and cannon balls are made to dance in the air as if they were well trained animate oreaturoa whioh obeyed the Will of their master. The aerial suspension of Madame Phillon is as oomplete a pieoe of apparent poelng lo the sir, without visible support, as is to be seen anywhere. Although, of course, an lnno oent decoptioD, it is so thorough that it is utterly impossible for the novice to aioertaln how ths thing is done.

A set of exquisite dissolving views appeals to the admirers of art and tbe lovers of fun. The muslo is ample for the size of the hall, end Is spirited. Tbe lady whoprssldes at the ptano also performs on the oor nst, and in a manner not to be underrated. On the second floor ths visitors are inrltcd to a brief concert, vocal and Instrumental, by the Indian troupe, and at the opposite end of tbe room an educated goat goes through a eourse of sprouts that one au hardly oall goaty. It answers questions promptly and correctly, may be more so than many a candidate for grade certificates in lted Hook lane.

Punch and udy Is introduced as a contribution to gratify the children. This, ono would think, is a fair volume of amusement for ten cents. Then, the performances are repeated so frequently that after 1 o'olock P. there Is always an opportunity for visitors until closing time at light, Tbe poultry show is the order for this week. Mr, James T.

Jukes, the snperlntendent, le careful to preserve tuo baBt of order and to protoot visitors against aunoyaacesot all kinds. BOCKAWAi BBACB FOBEC'LOSUBB. A little over a year ago, when the erection of the great hotel on Rookaway Beach was begun, and the railroad across Jamalea bay was built, the contractor, Benjamin B. Smith, purchased from Alonzo B. Wright about six hundred acres of beach, beginning at a point west of tho Meptuna House and extending to tho point opposite Barren Island.

The price was fixed at and $25,000 was paid and a mortgngs given for $115,000. The ownership of the land was in dispute, James S. Romseq claiming to have owned it for ovfir thirty years, and Aaron A. Degraaw, who is represented by Wright, olslMlug it by grant from tne general government. Tbe question of ownership is still ponding in tha courts, Smith transferred the property to Hesry 3.

Atrlll, tha leading spirit in tbe monster hotel enterprise. Some time since Wright brought an action to forodoie tho mortgage, and on Thursday judgment was rendered lit hia favor. The property is advertised to be sold on Juneith, by Henry A. Monfort as referee. The ground on which tbe hotel stands Is not included.

Taere Is mortgage upon that. There will bo a inusioal and dramatip entertainment in the Sunday School of the Ohuroh of the Mediator. Ormond.nlo, to morrow' evening, (a li of Mwiwuroh njj5, Dr. Talmag: on the Starving Prodigal Son, Longing for tbe Loxury of the Gospel Feast Ritualism as Demonstrated at the Church of the, Mediator by Her. J.

W. Sparks Vestments, Candles, Gonu floxlons. The first important announcement made by Dr. Talmage to the congregation which crowded tha Tabornaole yesterday morning waa that there would be an especial oommunlon service on Sunday after next, when the right hand of fellowship will be given to taa now mombers who havo been received during the revival. He read the names of i oventy three additional members admitted during the past fortnight, and announced that the revival would close next Friday night.

It will then have lasted seven weeks. It success has been something remarkable. Dr. Talmage preached from the text, "He began tobe in want," fiords desorlptive of tho oondltlon of the prodigal son. The preaohor said substantially; to you tho parable of tho prodigal Jfrfl.

In other words, the wholo wt 0t the. r06 t0 baconio prodisals. stroke gives tho awful and full length portrait when it says; "He began to be in want.

Our race had a splendid starting, but wo all wont away from God, our home, aud we have fouud sin fi rif VB5alvo Ik 'polled us, it hungered us, it robbed us. Wo all started with a spiritual fortune, but we save spen it and wo began to be In want. May the oin niDotont God this morning help mo to define to you tho nf?

It is bocause tho rlo he truth homo to the heart. nby.

il this morning the Holy Spirit should come upon your hearts, you would as from a deep elumbor and you would look around you and then you would begin to pray. I shall not forget a scone which occurred in my first settlement We wero having a series or morulng prayer meetings all the weok conducted every morning. During ono of thoBe meetings a man came In who was onnnlv snhanniNKn ri.tBun religion. As I sr him enter I said to myself I wuu you had notoomo! You havo come bore to dis dlBturb this moetinir. village denouncing tho church of Jobus Christ and denouncing all sacred things.

He camo in, sat quietly for "iuuiwiM, uu men arose. jLne auuience au knew him, and a shuddor passed through tho room. Everybody expeoted an interruption, but as the man rose he said. "Prarfnrmv i had passed that man had entered tho kingdom of God. Ho invited me to his house.

We kuelt down in prayer, and before night the whole household had onterod the kingdom of Jsbus Christ fathor, mothor, sous, daughters. It was by tho powor of the Holy Ghost. ANOTHER GREAT WANT of your soul is Dsrdnn.

doiie in the past, but would completely obliterate his wun KtnaueEs ana love, xnat voung man wanted pardon. That la what you want. Wrhat is the greatest Bin you ever committed One would say one thing, another would say another thing. I can toll you what is the greatest Bin you over committed. It is not murder, it is not theft, it is not blas phemy.

It is something greater than all those alns put together. It is tba orlpje of driving the j.ui ticsus uurisc uses: xrom vour soul, ana rAcmcirr ing tho Lord of glory and trampling on tho bleeding heart of tho Son of God. We have all committed that sin. "Oh, yes," you say, "I hare oommlttod many transgrensions during my many, a thousand? "Yes, mora than that." Flvo thousand 1 ''Yes, during the course of a lifetime more than that." How many, fifty thousand "1'es," you say, "perhaps fifty thousand during the oourso of lifetime." Let us ston there. I havo a lettor bore from your father, written iu tender eat lovo to you, His winderiug child, and I will read that lettor: "Though your sins be aB scarlet they shall baas snow; though thoy ba red like crimson, they shall bo bb wool." Pardon, free pardon, overlasting pardon.

Come back! Come, back I "Oh," you say, "there must bo some mistake in the direction of that letter; it certaluly never was intendod for mo; you don't know what Is my history, or you would not make such an indiscriminate offer of salvation as you make me this morning." I will admit all that you say in regard to yourself, and thou I will add unto It, and admit, if yon wish to admit, that you are tho worst person of all tbe fourteen hundred millions of the human race, and then 1 will say there is pardon for ANOTHSB OBBAT WANT of your soul is aomfort. 1 whata solace it would hare been to tbe young man of tho text far down in the wilderness, If at the time when he was out of money and there were no friends and he was homesick some one had come to comfort him What he wantod you want comfort I 0,1 the world has maltreated you. You havo had sorrow upon sorrow. Some of you have had trouble enough to kill you. The mirth of godless companions has not been able to silence that trouble.

The intoxicating bowl has not been enough to drown that sorrow. You go around looking for peace and happiness and find It not, for the simple roason that you are looking for a flower that does not grow in earthly soli. You ore looking for a gem that is not to bo found in an earthly mine. You want Christ. That is the balm for all wouudB, that is the liberty for all captives, that is the harbor from every cyolone.

Another great want of your soul is strength against temptation. What chance was thera for tho young man of my teit amid his dissolute companions, one pulling litui one way. and another pulling him the other way. The only thing for him to do was to go home. What chance Is there in New York and Brooklyn for a young man with no grac of God in his heart 7 There is not a momtntof safety.

Kitualiutic. Puritan ieonoclaam, said the Itev. J. W. Bparks, in the Rltualiatte Church of the Mediator yesterday morning, "Puritan lconoclasm has stricken from the church all the beautiful, holy and suggestive outward signs of worship, but she will yet restore these tokenB and reign as the true Cathollo Ohuroh in the' world." The Protestaut, said ths rector, in explanation of the significance and true meaning of the ritualistic form of worship and belief, believes in an absent divinity tha ritualist believes in an aver present Saviour, an abiding divinity.

Jesus Christ, as man, went away from tho church on earth and ascended into heaven, but Jesus Christ, aa God, remained with his ohurch and is ever tangibly prosent in the holy euoharlst. The octave of Easter, with its accompanying repetitions of the elaborate musio and ecclesiastical ceremonial of the high feast of the Sunday previous, attracted a very large congregation to the naked edifice at ths corner of Ormond place and Jef ferson street, a large proportion of which was made up of oominunicants oi aisr episcopal onurcnes. in Its interior the Church of the Mediator is plain to a degree. Its pews, finished in imitation of oak and DlacK wainut, are oomunauiy uuumuuuu, um mere yet lingers about tha church the appearance of Congregational simplicity which characterized the building during Its occuoancy by Iter. Dr.

Scudder's oongrogatlon. Only at the easterly end, where the plain reading desk of the famous missionary was wont to stand, has a complete transformation been effected. The pulpit platform has given place to a raised chancel, on either side of which eomfortable stalls afford accommodation for a large and well trained surpliced choir of men and boys, while at the (xtremo a superbly decorated altar, surmounted by a handsome reredoi, ornate with ecclesiastical symbolisms in bluo and gold, completes a picture at onae beautiful and suggestive. A white altar cloth, embellished with choicest needlework, covered the communion table yesterday myriad lighted oaudles shed their Bof lustre on all around at tbe left of the altar an Immense Paschal candle flared aud flamed, while flowers in bouquets and pyramids of oalla ltlllea lent their beauty and fragranco to heighten the effect. Upon the sub altar, at whose base ran the legend "Sanctus, Sanctua, Sanctus," iu golden letters, rested an illuminated missal, before which was placed the sanctuary covering tho eucharlst, tho vessels containing the elements being covered in turn by a white napkin, having upon its center an embroidered wreath in red Bilk, Inclosing the monogram H.

3." Toward the altar the utmost reverence was displayed. Whenever priest, acolyte or communicant passed In front of tho sanctuary tbe prosenoe of the eucharlst was recognized by an obelsanot, more or less defined, from a simple Inclination of tbe head to a bending of the knee. So also in entering and leaving the church, this recognition was repeated by the communicants, aooom panled by the sign of the cross. The brilllanoy of yea tarriav's service was helshtened bv the introduction of a well balanced orchestra, ths celebrated "Messe Solen nelle" of Gounod being given entire at the high cele bration. With the closing strains of the opening pre lude, a chorus of boys voices was heard in the distance, elvine out the processional hymn.

"Jesus Christ Is BiBtn," and gradually growing clearer at the proces sion omergoa into view irom too vestry. A.t tne ueaa oame three acolytes, robed in scarlot cassocks and white linen cottas, trimmed with lace. The first acolyte boro aloft a massiva gold cross, the lance being of ebony, while the other two, marcMng side by side, carried eaoh a lighted candle nearly ai large as themselves in candlesticks of red and blue. Following these oame twenty two choir boya in black cassocks and white cottas, then an altar boy with a banner, upon which was painted a Roman oross, then twelve choristers in blaok and whits roblngt, succeeded by a second altar boy with a banner bearing upon its aco a representation of a lamb, the deacon and priest bringing up tbe rear. Only ths celebrant wore an outer vestment, the deacon baing robad in surplice simply, girt at the waiat with a knotted girdle, after the manner of the monastlo orders.

After maktng tha circuit of tbe church tbe procession entered the chancel, the acolytes and altar boys accompanying the priests within the altar rail, cross and banners were disposed of at cither band, and the service began with the collects appropriate to ths day. From this point ont, with tbe exception of the introduction of the ascription, "Glory be to Thee, Christ," after the gospel, tbe servlee did not differ essentially from that familiar to tho high church communion, as represented by Trinity Ohurch, in New York. During the singing of tba creed, however, It was noticeable that instead of the ous tomary bowing of the head, tha Scriptural injunction, "At the name of Jesus shall every knee be bent," was Morally fulfilled throughout, the congregation, while the "Et Inoarnatns" was aocompanied by genuflexions on the part of priests and acolytes peculiar to tht Eitu allstlo ormnla, The sermon was prefaced by the removal of tha priest's outer vestment by the deacon, and while the latter reverently spread the whit rob upon the altar the rector proceded to the lectern, and facing about prononnoed the words "In the name of in Father, the Son and tba Holy QhoBt," accompanying them with the sign of the oross. The sermon waa an exposition of the Ritualistic creed and a substantiation of the visible presence of Christ In tha holy held the close attontttm oltha oongregatiottthroughout. Following the ascription, sung to the anototaregortaa tono, the "Hallelujah Chorus" was excellently given for ihe offertory, with.

"Worthy art Thou at.the pre ssntation. The priest here resumed. hia vestments, with tha assistance of tha deaooi, the acolytes knelt at either side on the titep of the, altar holding their lighted candles before them antl the prayer for Ohrist's'Ohnroh'mlHUurwaa said. Entering upon the celebration, tha removal of the sanctuary covering was attended by renewed genuflexions mid outward evidences ofraverenoa and humility. Tha Comfortable Worda" war snug' nt ib celebrant, and the Enob art st t'dmtnlsteted a 'T8 number of eomma nitenta.

The "Nuno DlmtttUV' wa chanted during the cleansing of the oommunlon vessels, the procession reformed tn, same orasf as entorea uiecnancei, and with the dosing hymn, "Jesus Lives," choristers and prieats mado their exit to the robing rooms, boys and men as thoy patted, the altar bending the hue. inomVBicsi service, as wnoie, axcouanu rendered, tilt Oliolr containing a 'number of tuportqr ril.OBISl The Amherst Oolloge Glee Club, a quartet, will give a concert at the Pilgrim Ohapel, corner of Henry, and Degcaw streets, on Thursday ovening; Tho college songe of tbo club will Il9 ftooomponled with twdlugsby Ujr, be verv touching on both sides. The oamne Mayor will ask tha Yorkshire villager how he has got along since he abandoned his family "furrin countries for to see," and the latter will confess with tears that there was a solid joy in Yorkshire. pudding to which his feelings are now a stranger. He, too, in turn, will ask his Honor about the dogs of the village, in cluding the one that belonged to Farmer Giles, and which dined one day upon a fleshy corner of his leg.

They will exchange reminisoonees and speak of "auld lang syne" at.Bingley, and their parents and poor relations, "fortemgue Gyan, forlemque Oloanthum." Such a scene as this, based as it is in fact, will be typical of many similar reunions. As these distinguished dogs cast their majestic gaze over the mixed assemblies that will gather to admire them, they will np doubt recognize here and there, some half forgotten but once familiar face, whose nose was of ton rubbed against their own in early doghood and whose little feet kept pace with them in the sportive chase of casual cows and sheep. In behalf.of the canine aristocracy of Brooklyn and their human relations, we are requested to extend the hospitalities of our beautiful city to the Mayor of Bingley, tho Marquis of Salisbury and the rest of these distinguished foreigners. A trip to Coney Island would do them good and the classic uinse would feel pleasure in once more recording in Virgilian hexameters "stant littore puppies" aud if the latter should refuse to come we would venture to ask "cur" why Worliiivirmeii'ai Mistakes. In the contest that is now going on throughout the world between the capitalist and the laboring man, the sympathies of the intelligent, part of every community are naturally with the latter.

But tho workingniau has a great deal to learn, and one of tho first lessons to be impressed upon him is the fact that he cannot afford to mako mistakos. At tho meeting held by tho carpenters on Saturday evening, a mistake of ft very serious nature was made. A member who expressed his convictions with more candor and emphasis than consideration of the feelings of other people was treated with scant ceremony by his fellow craftsmen. It is true that his remarks were not flattering and that he refused to take his seat when ordered, but nothing could have justified the course of the members in soundly tlirashiug him and lacking him down stairs. The intolerance that refuses to hear every side of a case and endeavors to limit discussion to observations of a friendly aud flattering char acter is not likelv to bear fruit in the form of wise action.

Iteeourso to physical violence is about tno very worst course mat ean be pursuod by laboring men at any time, for tho wholo history of the con test is marrod by reoords of violence. It ill becomes men who are complaining, no mat ter how justly, of thoir troatnient by their em ployers to turn upon one another. No graver mistake could be made. As for the attempt to subject an Eastern District baker to tho treatment known as Boycotting, it is worthy of notice that tho men who have taken part in the movement are Germans who have presumably not been long enough in this country to understand how odiously foreign to the genius of our institutions such a conspiracy to injure an individual is. Boycotting will never obtain a hold hero.

There is no social wrong sufficiently outrageous to warrant suoh measures it is therefore intolerable and will bb put down by the common sense of the community whenever it is attempted. The Greeks do not seem to be much pleased with the offers made by Turkey for the recti fication of their northern frontier. They no doubt fall short of long cherished hopes they are not equal to the concessions suggested at Berlin. It was in obedience to the inspiration of the Western Powers that Grsooo held her hand in the hour of Turkey's extreme weak ness, and she naturally turn lea now that she ought not to be allowed by them to suffer for the moderation which they imposed upon her. Her population is under arms, almost to a man, and she is daily inourring the most, crushing' pecuniary responsibilities.

Her national hopes may be wild and visionary, but at least they have taken oomplete possession of her heart, and tho result of their disappointment may well be something moro serious than the downfall of a ministry. It is hard to preaoh moderation at a moment of disappointed hope and hot military enthusiasm, but if thore were any possibility of our voice being heard, we should advise Greeoe to ba content with tho best terms she oan get now and to wait for another opportunity. The future belongs not to hor opponent but to her. The prooess of Turkish disintegration and ruin has Already gone too far to be averted by any diplomatic remedies. Nearly 1,300 immigrants arrived in New York last Saturday, 1,200 of whom were Germans.

It is misery which brings them out of their homes to this country. Never was there a time when greater misery existod in the Old World than at present. High taxation, sluggish trado, enormous armaments and other monarchical evils combine to render largo masses of the working classes of the Continent of Europe almost desperate. By its selfish policy of protection the German Government has made life well nigh intolerable to vast numbers of its own population, by imposing heavy customs duties on many articles of consumption of the first importance. The first anxiety of every governmont, in the present day, should be to enrich not a class but the whole mass of the people.

Proteotion paralyzes home as well as foreign industry by making commodities doar which Bhould be cheap. If this policy were reversed we should hear a good deal less complaint from abroad with regard to the deplorable state of poverty into which tho working classes are sinking. China seems to have behaved with characteristic artfulness in its dispute with Japan in reference to the suzerainty of the Loochoo Islands. Those islands, it will be remembered, lie in the North Pacific, south of the Japanese and east of the Chinese coast. Their chief produots are provisions and live stock, with sulphur, salt, copper and tin.

Japan has long exercised a nominal rule over them, and their prinoipal foreign trade is with that empire. China, however, asserts a claim to share this suzerainty, and, some months ago, war between the two powers seemed imminent. So long as a quarrel with Russia appeared to ba impending, the Celestial government was disinclined to resort to bellicose measures. Now that the dispute with tha Czar has been settled, China has assumed a more peremptory tone, and it is expected that a 'war between China and Japan will soon break out. Tho admirers of Rev.

Phillips Brooks, of Boston, will bo glad to hear that he has declined a professorship in the Harvard University. The sacred book of which he is such an eloquent oxpounder, forbids a man to hide his light under a bushel, and Mr. Brooks' surrender of the pulpit he now fills to aooept the offer made him would have been equivalent to the extinguishment of one of the most brilliant luminaries in the Protestant Episcopal Church. The Greenbaok party may be oxpocted to live so long as the national banks continue to be banks of issuo. With all its errors and idiosynoracies, that party At least refleots a powerful and growing sentiment in favor of Treasury notes as the exclusive paper ourrenoy of the country.

Senator Conkhng watches over Mahone with truly paternal interest, and guides his every movement with tha solioitude of a loving and oautions guardian, lest at any moment he should fall through a oraok in the floor and get lost. Among the articles of interest in to day's supplement are some reminiscences' of late Lord Beaconsfield which bring out in a lively light the parliamentary characteriotios of that phenomenally adroit person, In the game which Messrs.

These, as we understand it, are the meritorious achievements which muBt be taken to heart by the people of the United States if the Kepublio is to stand secure from generation to generation. The parvenu, the shoddyitd, with his passion for vulgar show, the adventurer rioting in millions gathered by fraud, the weak heads who clamor for tinsel and shout for standing armies must be subordinated to the sober old Dutch conception of the meaning of human life and the purpose for which governments have been, or ought to be, instituted among men. Our venerable friend, the deceased, stood for those things in a way most manifest to the community in which bis lot was cast.

A man of few wants and of the simplest possible habits, he adhered always to plain, honest lines of activity, caring in no degroo whatever for upstart distinctions, proud of ihe fact that lie was a fanner, bearing upon his body the evidence that by the sweat of his brow and the labor of his bauds he had earned the right to a comfortable footing in the world, his chief prids was that his neighbors had unqualifii confidence iu his integrity. Tune," as he was affectionately called, was a power in the rural parts of this oounty, because his neighbors could say of him with cartaintr, as Burns declared of Gavin Hamilton What anoe bo says lis winna break it What's no bin ala be winua take it. Because of this trust in hira ha came to be frequently called upon by them to do them public service, but it is a mistake to speak, as some of our contemporaries do, as if he had been mainly distinguished for his political activities. He had long held a seat in the Democratic General Committee, was notably attentive to the political affairs of his township, wns oalledupou to tike a prominent part whenever there wvrj aff.iiia to be disposed of affecting the yot'iuunry of hia vicinity, and had iu his earlier years been sent first to the State Assambly and then to Congress, yet was never what could with propriety ba (sailed a politician, in any sense. These public offices were incidents, not characteristics, of his career.

His real distinction lay in the general influence which he exerted as a straightforward, unpretentious man, busy with his own matters most of the time, and only coming forward at intervals, when special circumstances seemed to require his special attention. In his humbler sphere he was a Cincinnatus bearing rule when ho desired by his f'jllow citizens, but always glad to get back to his cabbage garden. He was a Democrat because of his ingrain dislike of everything that savored of impertinent or unnecessary interference with local or individual liberty. In this sense he was a born Democrat. He thought that every man should be allowed to stoer his own course, so long as he did not prevent other men from exercising the same right, and his healthy attachment to his township made him look with disfavor upon all schemes for managing its affairs from a distance.

In this he might have been a lineal descendan of that other Hollander who boasted that no Dutchman ever lifted the lid of his neighbor's pot to see what he was preparing for dinner. The somewhat anomalous oircumstance that he never broke off his connection with the McLaugh lin General Committee is not hard to explain and was characteristic. Ho took exoeflent care that the peculiar methods of the committee wore not applied to his township, end, proceeding upon the notion that if othors would do the same there would be no trouble, he indulged his dislike of change, and continued to act with the old organization. It is, however, raasonably certain that, bad the abuses now so notorious appsared in his earlier years, he would not have permitted an old man's love of eise to so completely exclude from his view the duty to break with a general evil, despite its apparent hormlessness in special cases. In point of culture and interest in matters of a historical nature, Mr.

Bergen exhibited a disposition worthy of the warmest encouragement. He was, perhaps, the only man in this oounty who could speak the old Dutch tongue with fluency, and he delighted to dilate upon its beauties. As the president of the St. Nicholas Society, he figured as a sort of literary and social St. Nicholas, vindicating the past against the present, and imparting to the material struggles of every day a flavor of the pleasant but vanishing traditions of the fatherland.

He wrote several monographs, which embody much agree ablo information, and show that amid other occupations he always kept the lamp of gentlemanly intelligence burning. In this respect lie was an excellent example for those who permit their worldly concerns to cut them off from tho finer activities of the mind and the emotions. The story of his life is told more at length on another page of tho Eaglb. In parting with him wo seem to be taking farewell of tho last of the generation which stood by the cradle of Brooklyn as a city and exhibited a paternal pride in its growth. The late General Crooke was of tho same sturdy company.

Judge Lott admirable in ovory way, was still another. May their memories long ba kept green, and those who have entered hito th fruits of thoir labor be worthy of tha heritage. Assistant District Attorney Bell, of New York, who had charge of the Government prosecution of Mr. Konward Philp, accused of criminal libel and forgery, wa called as a witness in the Whittaker case on Saturday, but was not allowed, under a technical objection, to testify. He stated, howevor, to Governor Chamberlain and the Court that he was willing to iwear that the Whittaker handwriting exports were utterly untrustworthy that they ore the same men who bore witness ajaiiwt Mr.

and that despite their testi iir.mv that gentleman's innocence had been established to the satisfaction of tho prosecuting authorities. This annouueewaut is Bufli. ciently startling iu view of the fact that tho export testimony was ail that could ba adduced against tho accused.
