QUESTIONS ANSWERED. MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. It is not whot Is understood by an underground road. That road is not bml entirely underground; somo portions of It run on the surface, and for ths most part It fs almply a canal arched over, though in many plaoes ths road is deep esouRb to ba called an underground road. It is great convenience.

there are not any pretensions to a rapid One orwo large roads make a alight curve on the outskirts, which in a measure may be used to reach special portions of the city. Rapid transit that Brooklyn Is after is for local travel, aamo in New York, Purpose, neither Parts nor London (save tne underHronnd) has a single one. And II seems i Ulk 8tl'nit ideas from those cities whan hrT0 llJCM Put Practice, near as muoh as P.r"6 Jocl1 lrnit, mainly, of London, and, horse oarf d0DaildBnt upon stages, cabs and a lew service it is now capable of rendonng either to the cause of rapid transit or to the owners of property in Brooklyn, who are now discussing what is to them a very important question Can we save our property from threatened confiscation? Messrs. Campbell and Clement, who are among tho majority which has shaped the action of tho Municipal Commission, brought into it a character for capacity and fair dealing. We trust these mon will not willingly let that character be buried in the debris of an abortive, unwise and impracticable scheme of rapid transit.

to concentrate all their thoughts during the sessions on the bost means of repelling Bright's disease or exterminating However excellent the advic, we should not be so sanguine as to look for the annihilation of these dread destroyers of human life. We can, however, tell the Bishops of England and the United States, how to make Christianity and the Churoh attractive to honest minds, and, how, on the other hand, to repel mon from them and cause unbelief to multiply. If they would do the latter, let, them condemn Bishop Colenso, as thoy did at the last Pan Anglican in bis absence and without oxamining his books. Lot them bandy the name of atheist from mouth to mouth, against every one who does not think just os they do. Let thorn go on depriving ritualists and Board Churchmen of their ben power to retain Mrs.

Norton, they have not the power to retain her without divoroing the Hospital from the confidence of the people of Brooklyn. THE HEALTH OF BROOKLYN. The favorable condition of the public health here shows Brooklyn to be naturally one of the most salubrious of American cities. Direot causes, however, contribute to this result, and among them must be sensible selection and moderation in matters of eating and drinking on the part of people. This cannot be too much commended.

Beside, the buemoss of garbage collection and offal gathoring has very much improved over what it used to be. The contractors, Matthew Smith and Frank Swift, seem to have organized their forces well, and the complaints whioh citizens have been used to making in large numbers to the Eagle are now few. This is a sure sign of improvement in a matter whore there was much room for it, at a time when it was of the first importance that the business be wel done. There are over 100,000 dwelling houses in Brooklyn. The complaints of tho collections of garbage from all that vast number do not average five and often not four a day.

As soon as received these few are attended to. Suoh efficiency as this is good for the civil service and for the public health. The advantage to the health of Brooklyn is hardly greater than the advantage it is to the reputation of this city as a solicitor of capita and population. Brought into suoh 'diroot deolded aversion to suoh popular and fashionable Summer retorta an Saratoga with its supplementary of city lifo and extravagances, being continually reproduced. Bsal comfort, he thinks, is to be found only in a genuine country, house with the necessary adjunct of socio! companions, good fare, eta, thrown in as aniatter of course, Godabd.

Some time since Charles W. Godard, ox Captain ot the Port, hada highly ornamental bird house put at the top of a polo on his premises, corner of Bushwlck avenue and Jefferson street. Of late tho sparrows became too numerous for comfort, in the early morning disturbing his olumbora to an extent that became unbearable. Mr. Godard decided to burn out the nests in tbe hopo that the peatlforous sparrows would then leave for othor localities.

He saturated the straw with kerosene for the purpose stated and started a blaze that, contrary to hla intention, did not go out till tho bird house was irretrievably ruined. That fire lo3t him an ornament to bis grounds costing exactly $30, and considered dirt oheap at that. Tumbbidge. The late owner of the famous Maggie Captain Tiimbridge, of thla sold that craft to Southern parties and made delivery of his merchandise, has been of late casting about for something wish which to replace har. Tula ho has found in the Spartan, a craft of 1,440 tons register, 2,400 tons oarryipg capacity, built in Boston in 1864, of the finest materials, and classed A 1 for 12 years.

She wont ashore last Winter on the beach, 4 miles east of Fire Island. She was gotten off by the Coast Wrecking Company, and Captain Tumbridge bought her and has her now on the drydock undergoing repairs. She will mako a first class pleasure vessel, and Captain Turn bridge will soon take command of her and give his friends who aro legion an opportunity to test hor Bailing qualities. Her owner is himself a thorough Bailor, Ayebs. The commandant of Fort Hamilton is Romeyne B.

Ayros, Brevet Major General V. S. A. If he and his military rocorj are not known in Brooklyn, the less credit to the memory of the people in whose service hs has thus far passed his gallant life. He was a soldier in the Mexloan War, and went into this war for the defease ol the Union aa a Captain, commanding Batlory of tho Fifth Artillery.

Ho rose to his present rank not the lesa through bravery in the field than by laborious attontlon to the details of discipline. He was aocustomed to say that gallantry in an officer was a matter of course and he would not allow any brilliant but lazy subordinate who would flame out and hazard his life in battle, to capture the laurels of the painstaking and quiet disciplinarian who did the hard work In camp and drill. A mere personal could not do justice to tho morits of General Ayres, The regular service has no more gallant or more faithful soldier than he. Bbeslin. Mr.

James Breslin, one of the lessees of the Hotel Brighton, at Coney Island, is probably as extensively known as an hotel manager as any man of his time in this country. In turn, he probably knows as many of the people who travel as any man In the country. He has, what is an essential requisite of a sucojsaf ul hotel man, a keen memory for faces. He has seldom been introduced to auy man whose ame he oares to remember, whom be is not able torirognlee yers afterward, Ny JsngwBrs Gn Is to be yourself unknown among travelers. With some suoh notion as this in his mind, a pretentious looking man swaggered ap to tho the clerk at tho Brighton a few days ago, and leaning over the desk confidentially asked, Is Jim in 7 "Jim?" Bald the clerk, politely What Jim Who is Jimt" "Why, Jim Jim Breslin." 'Oh! yea, Mr.

Breslin is in." (Mr. Breslin was standing near by talking to a gentleman and in full view of the man who was making inquiry after him in sucn familiar terms. "Do you know Mr. Breslin said the clerk, Know Jim, Jim Breslin why of course I do 1 By this time Mr. Breslin wss standing along side tbe questioner.

"I have known Jim for many years like a brother, and I want to give him some points on preventing knocking down among the waiters here." Mr. Breslin must be greatly cbanged since you knew him, for this gentleman, whom you don't seem to recognize, is Mr. Breslin." Of course the man had probably never seen Mr. Breslin in hiB life, and it did not Beem after he had been introduced to him, as if he was exceedingly woll pleased with the circumstances attending bis first acquaintance.

To Editor of the Brooklun Eagle In your article in Thursday's paper on campmeetings, speaking of the Shelter Inland Association, you say you Ihiuk campmeetluga ought to be abolished "in the North and East." You aay, also, that the Association controls the hotel and solla lots on its own terms. In this waj, Uke the Vein York Independent, under tho saintlike Bowon's management, It serves both God and mammon. It would be an interesting story it you could tell us about how the assessments are made for taxation purposes. I visited the Island three or four years ago, and was told that the carupmeetlngs were kept up simply to avoid or lessen tax paying on the proc erty of the Assoctauon, which was for sale as building lots. Is this so? Ia the same true of Sea Cliff, Aabury Park, el id gcnu omne Tuoaus.

A DISCLAIMER. Totlie Editor of the Brooklun Eagle: A person signing himself "A Member" accuses mo in last Sunday's Eaolb of being the real author of an article signed B. published under the heading of "Amateur Literature," in tha Eaolk of the previous Sunday. He also accuses me of baring employod B. as "a tool to execute the penmanship and correct tbe grammar." In reply, I wiah to 6tate that I am in no way responsible for tbe article in question.

I had no knowledge of its oxlslence until it appeared in print, nor did I at any time directly or In direotly furnish any oat ith any of the ideas whioh contains. Your correspondent's accusations ara wholly and absolutely false, aud ho has willfully and knowingly ponred out a stream ot vUo abuse upon an unoffonding person. His assertion in regard to my reputation in private clrcleB would be treated as a strange piece of news by tbe small circle of my intimate acquaintances, Into which such a contemptible individual as yonr correspondent would not dare to intrude. Whatever "lack of manliness" I have heretofore shown, or mar show future, it has never led and never shall lead me to endeavor to turn aside criticism by abusing an uninterested party. MoC.

JUDGE JOHN A. LOTT. In making fitting announcement of the life ant death of John A. Lott, in yesterday's Eagle, not less than five of its long and broad columns wore occupied. According to concurrent and reliable testimony, the venerable Judge had probably novef missed reading a single issue of the Eagle during the well nigh forty years since tho first number of the paper was published.

The Eagle of Saturday, which was so largely devoted to the rocordof aprolongad, well spent and most useful life, is the first number of this paper that will lie on the library table at Flatbush untouched by the hand of him who took so keen an interest in its conduct, and who tilled so largo a spaoe in the community whoso daily life it is the business of the Eagle to record. If tho dead are permitted to tako an interest in tho concerns of the living, one can easily imagine with what interest the venerable ex Judge scanned over tho columns with which ho was bo familiar, to de'termTne for himself the estimate that had been placed upon him by his fellow men, the judgment that had been passed upon the long life he had spent anion" us, acting always, doubtless, as good men do, in view of the supreme hour, which came upon him at last so suddenly, while not finding him, we trust, unprepared. John A. Lott lived a very quiet and a very beautiful life. Ho died in the pretty little town in which ho was born.

He worshiped in the church which took the place of that in whioh ho was ohnstoned, and his remains will lie in view of his chorishsd old homestead, and In the shadow of tho church in which he pmyed that od might forgive him his trespasses as he forgave those who had trespassed against him. Ho was bom to competency, and had such advantages as a share in inherited affluence gives. He married early, and to the maiden he had doubtless played with when a ohild, and who was distantly allied to him always, and eventually, and for over forty years together, by still more sacred ties. Tho venerable matron, who was the pride of his early manhood, and the comfort and stay of his declining him. Five cliildren were the result of this marriage, and they all eur vivo two daughters, heads of happy homes within sight of their birthplace, and three boys, all of them grown to be middle aged and useful men, under their father's eye.

He early adopted a profession which he loved always and to the lost. He had reached very nsarly the highest honors it could bring in his native country. At last, and in retirement able to afford to shape for himself the measure of the labor ho chose to perform he dies, with no great Buffering, full of years and honors, and in the home which he had extent so many happy days. His loss is universally regretted as a loss to an entire community which is of something les3 in weight because ho will not be of it any more because men can seek no move advice and judgment which influenced their counsels aud ware frequently accepted as the best outcome of their own judgment. As one reads the expressions of opinion of the dead published yestetftay, there is a peculiar oon in the estimate of the man, coming from citizens so different in their views, usually, on every subject of public concern.

That ho was honest not merely in the vulgar sense that he did accept or seek that whioh did not rightfully belong to him, but in that high sense of being sincere in all his works and ways, in all his words and actions, is the universal testimony. That there lay underneath sometimes an acrid manner and some Tiesfearsh speech, a sympathetic nature and a generous hoart, seemed not to bs so genor ally known, but still it seems to have boon well known to those who knew him best, and tho judgment of thoBe who know us best will, in the long run, be the judgment of so much of tho world as tako any interest in an estimate of our lives. Just he was known to be, but to many who thought they knew him well it soemed as if he was only just but revelations are plenty now, when alone they are meet and proper, of his well regulated and orderly beneficence. That he was prone to obstinacy in his convictions was well kriown, but it was known not so well before that he desired to be right and sought to be, and then as a defender of the right, as the light was given him to see it, ho was not called upon to yield anything. Ho was as true to his political principles as other men are to their religious professions.

He adopted them early, and he Adhered to them consistently. When his party was not as good as its principles, belaid the blame on men and Dot on the truths they did. not live up to. His Democracy might seem ideal to other men, but he showed in his lif how public men can live up to it, and barter no legitimate success in doing no. He himself had established a character which he rightfully believed shielded and illustrated every act he did.

No man, it seems to us, ever set established character at a higher value, and when he had weighed and judged and accepted tho character of a friend, no amount of villification changed his judgment no malicious assault disturbed it. He sought in the general habit of men's lives for their character, and from the noisy and fitful pretenders to superior morality, he turned with an indifference which never rose with him to tho dignity of contempt. If he seemed and austere it was to'thoso who know him not to his friends he. was "as sweet as Summer." A DANQER AND A The owners of property on the line of Fulton street and Myrtle avenue are exposed to a danger at tho hands of the Rapid Transit Commission which that body should try to guard against by every means in its power. It is quite certain that no elevated railroad, on the plan adopted by the Commissioners, will ever be erected in Fulton street or Myrtle' avenue, or for that matter on any other street in Brooklyn.

The result of the elevated railroad experiment 'in New York, on the streets through which it runs, is altogether too serious and too costly for that, and tho opposition of property holders in Brooklyn to the erection of such roads will be practically unanimous and cannot be resisted. But the owners of property on Fulton street, Myrtle avenue, and other leading streets, are exposed to another danger, only less than that which would follow from the construction of railroad bridges through our streets, either for the accommodation of the "one rail" plan or the ordinary surface road placod on anelevated structure. If a franchise to put up such a struoture can be obtained or oven tho shadow of a franchise although tho road may never be built it may occasion great injury to property on the streets referred to, and indirectly on tho city at large. Allien there is a shadow of steam so to speak on a street, the abutting property is almost sure to be placed under a cloud. The danger of steam may be remote, but those intending to purchase proporty on such a street will take the chances of danger into account, and thoy wili either refrain from purchasing at all, 'or they will insist on a decrease in price in view of a remote danger.

This, of course, will be a great injury to the present owners. A grave and enduring wrong may bo inflicted upon property owners, while no actual damage is done. Thera are some men, at all events, on the Municipal Commission who desiro to stand well with thoir fellow citizens mon who have a future before them. Jtt behooves jhese men to see to it that To injury follows from tho rash steps already taken in opening up the possibility of devoting our leading business Btreots to steam railroad purpose's, on a plan which will provoke and justify universal opposition, in view of the experience of the Sixth avenue property owners in New York. If the' Municipal Commission oan in any way undo hat it has done, and agree to adjourn sine elk.

it will, in our judgment, perform tho only VZ3 MOLVES, U. M. L. Hazes, BErJUflBEBlSu PUTff AK AVEXUK. Tc the kditor of the Brooklyn Eagtt: Soma four weeks ago, the residents of Putnam avenue received official noiios to chsngo tha streot numbers npoh" Iheir houses.

Many of tho parties responded promptly and some not, the result being that at present tho numbers are dUnrranaod by reason of some parties not obeying their notice. Is thero no way to compel these parties to pot on tneir new numbers? One of them, to day, made complaint against mo because I promptly obeyed the law and put my new cumber on. Should not tho suthorltias look aftor these people Putnam Avisue. A petition was presented'to the Common Council on November 12, 1877, to renumber Putnam avenue. On the same date the Common Council directod tho Board of City Works to renumber Putnam avenuo from Fulton street to Broadway.

Pursuant to the resolution, the said avenno was renumbered, and on Dt oombcr 6, 1877, the owners worn notified to change their numbers, which many did. Tho Aldermin of the Savcntli Ward rescinded so much of lbs resolution as applied to tbo Seventh Ward. Then Alderman Fisher, of the Twenty third Ward, 'rescinded the rest of tha resolution. About two weeks alter tbe Alderman of tho Sevsuth Ward rescinded a part. This has left a part of the avenue in a infused state, as many oomplleJ with the notice aervod.

Ibo charge to be a member 1b 25 cents per month, and the object of the Society is purely tho cultivation of the Iniu language, and thereby to remove the slur caat by other nationalities on the Irish for being ignorant of their native tonuuo.

J. Loom. TBOUBLB AHOIIB THB O'FLAnEBTYlTES. To the Editor of the Brookliftx Eagle: There is a big row brewing in the O'Flaher cy General Committee, which is likely soon to go to pleoos. The thing Is going on secretly, and Is Instigated by the delegates of the Third Ward, who are disgusted at the closeness with which Flaherty and Soott are running things.

They are going to make a fight la the General Committee, and have already got quite a number of delegates of other wards to join them. The Third Ward Is solid In this matter. Thoir main case of complaint Is that Flaherty and Scott have made a bargain with Alderman Altken that tho latter shall have all the patronage of tho ward, and tbo bargain baa thus far been carried out, and the Third Ward delegates have not beon ablo to get even a laboring man a place In the Board ot City Works, while Alderman Ait ken has several Republicans there. The Third Warders say that bad a the McLaughlin Ring is It Is bettet than that of Flaherty and Scott. When the Hon.

Dan Bradley can get nothing for bis friend. There is muoh oomplalnt In tbe Seoond and Fifth wards. The First Ward has nothing. Nor the Tenth. It seems that nobody can get anything except Aldeimaa O'Rollly.

To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle. Returning to the city after a brief absence, I flud in last Sunday's T.ioi.z an answer to my communication ou tbe subject of "Amateur Literature." Its calm, dignified and xoroearlog tone, togetUor with its entire freedom from anything even approaoUipg tun malicious, has completely disarmed tbe resentment waich It seems I cherished toward a certain liturary association. True, I waa not aware of the state of my feeling toWArd this socioty until "A Member" kindly informed me of II, and though some people might be go unreasonable as to claim to have aa muoh knowledge of their own feelings as others hayo of them, I shall rise superior to suoh perverse beings by uel erring to your correspondent lu all matters pertaining to the workings of my mind. And now since tuo motive which lnsplrod th objectionable article has been made so clear to me, it is but right tnat I should tender an apology. Before proceeding to oat humbis pie, however, I beg to compliment t'o pars ins wtu discovered tbo transposition of my Initials upon thoir aatuteness.

Their sharpness in uneartuing me is worthy of Pinkertou's sharpest dotcotlve. Bjlng exceedingly anxious that my identity should not transpire, I concludrd, upon mature reflection, that tbe vast between T. B. F. and F.

B. T. would Insure mo against detection, even by tho ahrowdest. It also gives me pleawro to learn of the coooUtlon their diio ivory aff jrded them, though it grieve w. to think that any act of mine should have given them noed of coiisoli uon.

At tbls point, perhaps, I may venture to surest tbat tho roferonca to my principal's couragt, is tritle severe. The correspondent Bnould remember that nature has not endowed all men wiih that mter fearlessness which would enable him and his fallows to match up to tbe cannon's mouth with aa much indifferenco aa an ordinary mortal would sit dowo to his dinner, But It is timo to begin at the pie. To tho young adit ir first my respects are due. To him I would say that I am now convinced tbat pronunciation is simply a master of taste, and that "amatoor," "Uteratoor," are jUBt as ood as any other words. The ohlof merits of an odltorial, I am persuaded, are its utter barrenness of thought, and its ontire independence of any of ths laws of corppofition to whioh professional journalists miatakenly subscribe.

Let him continue to agitata Ins facile pen. Who knows but tbat in the distant, nay perhaps In tho near future, be may find himself dating his "herculanoan" eplf from the 'tall tower." As for the youthful orator, I trust he will allow nothing I have said to deter Urn from prseoutlng hi ambitious aims. None 1U hall with prouder satisfaction thau myself the day when his burning eloquence shall cause enraptured throngs to forget the calibre of hia voice aud thsi amount of his inches. 1 know I have hut to ask bli forgiveness to sacuro it. As far as my abuse of the courtesies of the Association aro concerned, I might, if not in an apologetic mool, attempt to show that as I entered the room of tbe Association simply to relieva myself of the importunity of some of tha members who were anxious tbat I should see their Inimitable performances.

I was under no obligations to praiae the proceedings; and tbat the "pulillu entertainment" I bad as much right to oritioiso as any theatre goer has the play he pays his muney to aeo performed. My thanks aro due to "A Member" for inf orming mo, tbat I spoke of hia Association aa being mads up of boys and girls, and I aan hia pardon for having uttered the falsehood. To bo sure that portion of my article reads to me like aTeference to literary socletiea iu general, and to the age of those who comtitute the majority of the members of these societies. But far ba It from mo to presume to credit the evidence ol my own eyes In the face of the aasartton of your correspondent. Nor shall I so far forget myself as to intimate that tbe principal cited as a member of the aseoclaliou is an estimable gentleman, who, In his Eood naturo, has suffered tho Juvoniics to enroll his name araoug the honorary numbers.

I foel free to add however, tbat tbe vice principal was overlooked for the reason tbat In the presence of the young editor and the youthful orator all such commonplace Individual aj vice principals pale Into insignificance. Aud now having made an apology, tho humility o( which is only exceeded by its sincerity, I beg, by way of conclusion, to ay to tha gemlemen upon wboui my previous communication euems to have had so dir ire JSiuK an eflact, Excuse ma excuse me. If you I am, my dear sir, very reapc ctluily yoiiis, 'i'. 11. A REGIMENTAL yUESHOX.

Headers of Matthew Arnold may remombor tho scathing satire with which, in Litera turo and Dogma, he assails the oracular theological platitudes of His Grace the Eight Honorable and Most Keverend William Thomson, D.

Cord Archbishop of York, and of the Eight Reverend Charles John Ellicott, D. Lord Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol, and of tho lato Eight Roverend Samuel Wilberforce. D. Lord Bishop of Winchester. Tho last named prelate came in for the lion's share of Mr.

Arnold's ridicule, on account of his entreating the bishops in Convoation "to do something wo suppose by anathema or other polemical manifesto for the Godhead of our Divine Lord. The request was certainly a strange if not ft funny one and it must have struck believers in the Divinity of Christ that it could scarcely need tho assistance of the Parliamentary bishops, whilo those who did not behove that tho Saviour was absolute and solf existent Deity would scarcoly bo likely to do so merely because the bench of bishops did something for it by resolution and on paper. Nevertheless, we may be sure that the spirit whioh aniinatGcySiskop Wilberforce and his brethren was excellent, aiid not less heroic than that of tho Crusaders of old who fought and fell for the possession of tho Holy Sepulchre. A like valorous and enthusiastic, albeit Quixotic, spirit seems to have possessed his Grace tho Right Honorable and Most Reverend Archibald Campbell Tait, D. D.C.

L. Lord Archbishop of Canterbury and Pri mate of All England, on tho occasion of his opening the present Pan Anglican Synod at Lambeth Palace, nis purpose seems to have been the same aa that of Bishop Wilberforce, "to do something for the Godhead of our "Divine Lord," but ho put it in other words entreating tho ninety bishops assembled and all who should subsequently attend, to have constantly in their minds that the great object of the ir Pan Anglican deliberationswouldbe to devise means for repelling the attacks of Infidelity upon tho Faith. It becomes an interesting question, therefore, to consider what tho bishops en masse can do in repressing unbelief, and how for this Pau Anglican Synod of prelates is, or is not, "impar eongressut Acldl able to do battle' with modern skepticism, or whether, like a flock of sacred geese, they can but flap their wings and cackle, leaving their General, the Archbishop, much in the predicament of that King of France who "Marohe up the Hill With twenty thousand men, And when hognt tbcm tho top Ho inarcued thorn down ajaiii. We shall best bo ablo to judge what the bishops, as a whole, are likely to accomplish in a crusade against rationalism, if wo consider, for a moment, what single bishops have hitherto done in this conflict. In the Early Churoh Origen, who was a bishop, as we know, wrote very learnedly against Celsus, but then Origen himself was subsequently condemned for heresy.

When the famous Essays and Reviews appeared, Archbishop Whately and Dr. Renn Dickson Hampden, Bishop of Hereford, now both of them dead, ware among those who attacked them yet the Archbishop was always regarded as a lati tudiuarian of tho first water by his Oxford contemporaries, aud Hampden's Bamptoa lec turos set Oxford and all England in a flame by their free thinking philosophy. Going further back, we find Tillotsou, Archbishop of Canterbury Warburton, Bishop of Gloucester Hurd, Bishop of Worcester, and many other prelates of the Anne aud Georgian days more' than suspected of a secret disbelief in Christianity, not dissimilar from that of the French clergy in the first Revolution, except that tho English divines preser ved their morals. When the present Archbishop of Canterbury, now so belligerent against skepticism, was made Bishop of London in 1857, his first appointment was to make Arthur Penoyhnn Stanley, now Dean of Westminster, his Ex amining Chaplain, though ho was then and is now justly claimed by rationalists as their champion. It is true that a bishop Watson Llandoff wrote a long and learned refutation of Tom Paine's "Ago of Reason," but if De Quincey writes truly in his "Society of the "Lake," the same bishop, at his convivial din ner table, was wont to say that the miracles of Christ were mere tricks of legerdemain and that he conld do greater wonders by means of chemistry, of which he had been Professor at Cambridge.

But it may bo said, 'Yes, it is very true tha those jovial old bishops of the olden times were no match for such men as Hume and the philosophic skeptics, but in those Pan Anglican days bishops are made of sterner stuff, and woe to the unbeliever who essays "to break a lance with them." Let us examine this possible reply the more candidly since the personnel of the English Episcopal Bench is not unknown to us and commands, in a general way, our hearty respect. Happily several of the Right Roverend prelates have recontly come forth on paper to do single combat with the modern Apollyon of infidelity. One of them, after listening to an able lecture on the "Origin of Man," by Pro fossox Huxley, sarcastically asked, to tho great delight of tho milder portion of the audience, "Does the learned Professor really "wish us to believe that he is descended from "an ape?" Here was a victory surely, won single handed by a bishop over tho demon of rationalism. A broad grin of self gratulation overspread the full blown cheeks of tho successor of the Apostles, but they assumed an atrabilious hue when the lecturer arose and said, "I would rather be descended from an "ape than from a bishop of the Church of England, who can so misrepresent ths pur poses of science." Another bishop, famous for his speeches and sermons, lately delivered a Charge to his clergy on the growing skepticism of the age and tho way it should be met. Said Bishop Magee to the clergy of the diocese of Peterborough, "We can only wait in prayer and patience until some great mind shall arise "to vindicate the existence of the super natural." Perhaps the aggregate of minds at the Pan Anglican Synod may oqual one great mind, and British unbelief may yet receive Us death blow from the bishops al Lambeth.

We trust that our own American bishops will not think of returning home before they have donfe something for the faith, if it be only as walking "Evidences of Christianity," at the Paris Exposition. Let them at least bring back a converted gamin from the streets, or a regenerate garcon from the French restaurants, for the English may well bo left to their own belligerent prelates. Of those prelates, none ranks higher in scholarship, character, largo miudedness and practical ability than the Right Rev. James Fraser, Lord Bishop of Manchester, long one of the best of Oxford tutors and who traveled through this country somo years ago as Inspector of Schools for tho British Government. Manchester, like Birmingham, is a stronghold of religious nihilism and political communism.

Not long ago a club of working men, who are also free thinkers and had ceased to go to church, addressed the Bishop on the claims of Christianity to be a supernatural revelation. The Bishop's reply was kindly, but he did not really attempt to refute their objections. All that he said was that "since Christianity had survived tho terrific intellectual assaults of Voltaire, it could never be injured by. any arguments of those who came after him." This may or may not prove correct, but it was certainly what is called in lpgio a petitio pHncipii, or bogging the question," and was no answer at all to the straightforward statement of the free thinkers of Manchester. With these instances before us, we are not sanguine that the Archbishop of Canterbury will realize his beatifio vision of the Pan An glican in gaiters and silk apron standing jubilant over the prostrate corpse of Infidel ity.

We trust they may be able "to do some thing for our Lord's Godhead," but scaroely think it will wear the aspect of the Episcopal Jack the Giant Killer, cutting Blunderbore's head off. It is as though a convention of surgeon wt ro to bo directod by their President efices and getting them sentenced to prison. Let them spend, as many of them do now, more than half the year away from their flocks, "over whom," as they say and as the Prayer Book teaches, the Holy Ghost hath "made them overseers." Lot them decorate their "ceiled houses wh'ile God's house lies "waste." But if, as we cheerfully believe, they are striving after the high mark of Paul, and of One greater than Paul, who is the "Bishop and Shepherd of souls," let them refute the sneering spirit of the age by the "more ex cellent way" oven than faith. Let their charity be manifest in thought and word and deed. Let them keep within their own boundaries, and rest assured that however the authenticity of this or that book or chapter niay be questioned, the spirit of the living Christ is still active in the world, and that essential Christianity will be precious to mankind so long as virtue is distinguished from vice, and refined humanity from merely sensual existence.

THE EAGLE'S BIAS IN THE HOSPITAL MATTES. Our venerable friend, Judge Greenwood, while expressing, his confidence in the integrity of tfie Eaole, took occasion on Thursday, to intimate that the paper seemed to him to bo committed to one side of the case affeoting the management of the City Hospital. A little reflection on the Judge's part would have prevented him from inddlgiDg or expressing any such notion. It is simply absurd to suppose that a paper like the Eagle oan be prejudiced either way as to the merits of a controversy between people who are strangers to it, who have never served or hurt it in any way, and whose fortune in the future oan hardly bo a matter that will affect the Eagle. The Judge may rest assured that not only is the Eaole without prejudice against the management of tho Hospital, but Is so well disposed toward all humane institutions in this city that thoy can always depend upon a proper defense in this offica against unjust assaults.

What the Eagle does confess to, however, is a profound and steady sympathy with the poor and friendless wherever they are. Never since the Eagle made its appearance has there been a time when the afflicted were necessarily voiceless in this city, and they will always have at least one friond in Brooklyn while the Eagle continues to be published. If that be prejudice which induces generous men to listen to the stories of the friendless who have injustice or brutality to complain of tho Eagle confesses to being prejudiced. We have no doubt that the Charities Commissioners easily persuaded themselves that tho Eagle was acting under an inexplioable bias when it exposed the abuses in the Lunatio Asylum two years we are confident the managers of tho Butler street Homo wore persuaded, when tho Eagle exposed the system under which parents and thoir children were being separated for life. But against tho conviction of tho Commissioners and the Butler street Managers, the Eagle had the consciousness that its whole purpose was to protect the helpless from being wronged, and this consciousness is equally present in tho case of tho City Hospital.

Judge Greenwood knows too much of the world not to know that even philanthropy may be used as a cloak, and that it is just as necessary for professed humanitarians as professed politicians to be watched. Of Mrs. Norton, the Superintendent of the City Hospital, or Dir. McPharlan, the Senior House Surgeon, the Eagle has had no knowledge in the past and has no acquaintance now but the Eagle does know that the avowed purpose of the Hospital is to give shelter and medical ministration to men, women and. ohildren suffering from any of the many ills to whioh flesh is heir.

If, instead of the proper ministration, there are neglect and brutality, the Eagle owes it to Brooklyn to let the truth be known, to the end that beneficence may expel cruelty. Per haps, the Judge may hold that it is the business of the trustees rather than that of the Eagle toN ascertain such things. If he holds so we shall have to differ with him. The Eagle has chosen to make it part of its business to look after such affairs, and no board of trustees, however respectable, will be permitted to act as its substitute, though they may do admirable and honorablo work by laboring as its allies. As to the examination commenced on Thursday night, we are sorry to say that the trustees acted as though they were more desirous of averting publicity than rectifying wrong.

The thing that pained them was not so much the manifest mismanagement as that the public had been made aware of it. Mr. Cornell, who appears to have been the most active member of the Board present, exhibited a much stronger disposition to quibble and find fault with the gentlemen who presented themselves as witnesses in support of tho accusations than to ascertain what the truth was. This must' have been plain enough to Judge Greenwood, whose long experience has made him thoroughly familiar with the difference between the spirit which becomes an impartial referee and the temper in which the meaner type of lawyers usually assail adverse witnesses. The way in which the examination was begun also indicated a disposition to smother and belittle the complaints.

When was it deemed proper to present witnesses for the defense before tho accusations had been heard? About what timo did it como to be tho rule to hear denials first and leave the chief witnesses for tho affirmative to be examined at some indefinite time in seoret by a sub committee, who are to report nobody knows when Ah, Judge the Eagle is not prejudiced, but it has lived long enough to know the difference between investigations that are designed to get at truth and those that ore oonducted to suppress it. The Eagle has published evidence enough to convict fifty Mrs. Nortons. Four or five physicians, several visitors who are above reproach, and a large number of patients have been hoard from and all to one effect. Either all these people are deliberate falsifiers, or Mrs.

Norton is not a proper person to be Superintendent of the Hospital. How improbable it is that they are leagued in falsehood is manifest enough. On the contrary, it has been shown and was shown last night by Dr. Heber Smith's statement, that Mrs. Norton's friend, Mr.

Cornell, in trying to help her against Dr. McPharlan, has evinced less regard for accuracy in his statements than wo usually expect at the hands of a conscientious gentleman. Among the statements published in the Eagle last night we commend to Judge Greenwood's attention the following made by Mrs. Delia Samuells, an ex nurse: On Sunday Mrs. Notion summoned Mrs.

Samuells to her room SDd asked her if she would maud by her in her diffloultiea She said the admission thai the milk was dilated would ruin her, and she asked Mrs. Samuells to 'Bay tbat such was not the case. 'I would no.t lie tor my own mother," said lira. Samuells. "Then," said Mrs, Norton, "yon can leave the Hospital.

Mrs. Samnells at once retired. She is spoken of by eminent pay aioisns as a woman ot good character and an excellent nurse. Among her references are J. Moore and Dr.

John T. Buahmore. alts. Samuells was at the institution yesterday prepared to testify before the Investigating Committee as to the alleged abuses, but bus was not called. In conversation with an Eaole reporter she said When I first came here, Mrs.

Norton Instructed me to water the milk and showed me how to do it. 8ho pot enps of milk to 20 onps of water for the ordinary dint Hit. All tho tlmn was In the" storeroom I watered the milk according to her orders and the rule ana preaenoea, Tae Dattsr given (as patients wa mo same used by the Snpetintendent for cooking butter, Ono half ounce of Butter was allowed eaoh patient by the roles, bat ru Instructed to give fig fit weight. TUe bread for the private table was made of the best quality or flour, while that for the patients was made of the poorest ojiallty. I have heard complaints about the meat ever Binoo I first came there.

Mrs. Norton used to come to me In the storeroom and boast of baring whipped tne Ones she whipped a little boy for lighting a matoh lo the bathroom, sod in boasting of it she said if he wasn't tired after the beating, she was. With a score of similar statements before us, somo of them, however, giving details that are properly described by the adjective atrocious, we have no hesitation in say jug that while the trustees Jtmye it ift their and varied access to the sea, this Summer. City, healthful and beautiful in herself, is becoming remarkable abroad for her salubrity, the English medical journals which make a special study of the vital statistics of American cities, having begun to discover that the health of Brooklyn is far better than that of any other American city of over 200,000 population and accounting for the causes hy excellence of situation, by the comparative ttom fort and roominess in which the people live and by the merit of the sanitary service. The Shoshone Indians at the Warm Springs (Oregon) Agency are too pious to fight.

They say that tha white man has come to them and showed them God's way, and that it would make them old time Indians again if they should go to war. They are thus painfully consoientious only so far as regards the white man's request. Indians they would help, and no doubt they will befriend the Bannocks before the campaign is over but just now they are too devout to listen to the proposition of the Government to help it keep the hostiles out of the quiet regions of Western Oregon. General Howard proposed that this tribe should furnish him some scouts for service against the Bannocks, who, in ordinary times, are bitter enemies of the Shoshones. But the latter refused, they thought it incited to go to war when the Good Book said not, but, finally, the Indian blood asserted itself, and thoy moderated their spasm of piety long enough to say that the soouts would be sent if $100 a month for each man and horse were paid.

Surely, tho Indian is progressing, and he needs but to be sent to Congress to make him a son of civilization and a typical American citizen. Alderman Fisher, in reply to the oharge that, while he was serving as Alderman, he became a subscriber to the oapital stock of what is called the Silent Safety Elevated Railroad Company, to the amount of $600, says he made the subscription at a public meeting, open and above board, and in order to encour age the oause of rapid transit. He says, further, that he caused his name to. bo taken off the books as a subscriber, because he was twitted by one of Mb associates in the Board of Aldermen on owning stock in a company which was then an applicant for important concessions at the hands of the Board of Aldermen. Alderman Fisher ought to have folt that he was in a false position when he was oalled upon to legislate on questions in which he was directly interested, without tho "twitting" from on associate Alderman.

The Aldermen had better keep out of rapid transit speculations, for even Aldermonic virtue may break down under such strains as the Aldermen themselves can expose it to. The Hunton Alexander imbroglio is a Southern one, not to be judged accurately by Northern oensors. In Virginia, to test by the duello the courage of men, or whether they have the courage of their assertions, iB as habitual as in the North it is not. As ridiculous as a recourse to the oode seems here, a non reoourse to it, in supreme cases, seems down there. Outside of the quarrel, there is no doubt that Eppa Hunton has been a scrupulously honorable man au n's hfei and that, when Columbus Alexander tries to predicate crookedness of him, he is as futile as if he tried to proye that twice two are five.

Beside, in running with his letters and replies to the newspapers, Columbus Alexander's taste and methods, in private controversies, are as novel in any land as. the code is in tho North. Mrs. C. Hayes, one of Mrs.

Nortonjs nurses, has written, or procured to be written," a letter repelling the statement of Dr Richardson that she sometimes saved the patients from intoxication by drinking the whisky prescribed for them by the physician. Mrs. Hayes denies the soft impeachment and charges Dr. Bichardson with having been unsteady at times. This good lady chiefly succeeded in showing that she has characteristics that would be attractive almost anywhere rather than a sick room.

For years City Works Commissioner Flaherty obtained any notoriety he had in local politics as being the leader of one of the Democratic factions which were struggling for ascendency in the Assembly District made up of the Thirteenth and Fourteenth wards. And now it is announced that Fiaherty has moved out of the Thirteenth Ward altogether and has taken up his abodo in the rural Twenty fifth Ward. Is the Flaherty faction in the Thirteenth to be left without pap, and without a loader with pap at his disposal? That the slave trade is still conducted upou a pretty large scale may be inferred from the address of the English Anti Slavery Society to the Czar of Russia, urging him to use his influence for the suppression of the traffic by Mussulmans. In the course of the address it is stated that the devastation of Africa and the murder of its people, variously estimated at from 400,000 to 500,000 every year, are perpetrated by the subjects, real or nominal, of 'the Ottoman Porte. To this appeal the Czar has responded through his Ambassador in London, that he will do all in his power lo forward tho humane purpose of the Society.

The Potter Committee in New Orleans is doing excellent work. It has run to earth a lot of negroes who have been bribed by the Republican misleaders into trying to prove that some Democrats bribed them. Monoy was the one thing the Louisiana Democrats did not have the power or wish to use. They were absolutely poor and honest. Had they used it, theiresult would have been far different.

Said William M. Evarts, we will not let a lying tongue tell us when it lies. Mrs. Jenks toldW. E.

Chandler that she had the Sherman letter as written by Sherman safely on deposit in Now Orleans. She told the Committee in Washington that she wrote it herself on diotation and did not have it now. Honest John Sherman has been nearly as unfortunate in his witnesses as he has not been in making two million dollars out of his position as Congressman. The Colorado Democrats have resolved heartily against the fraud. Colorado is a big State with ft small population, but it resents the incumbency of a non elected President as heartily as any of the more populous Commonwealths.

The "Nationals," wh meet this week in State Convention in Syracuse, will have thrqo sets of delegations from New York City alone, the Shupe set, the Creamer set end the Carsey get. The new party, "having nothing to "divide," proposes to divide up itself. Brooklyn, from variety of sources, has responded to the exalted but deliberate estimate the Eaolb put on the career of John A. Lott, when sudden death freshened and illuminated the forcible faots of his life. General Butler has so many interviews and they read so much alike that the suspicion is prevailing that he writes thorn himself.

Not ft few public m.ejj Jo thftt, China crepe fichus rank next after lace ones. The handsomest have Insertion and odglngS of Frenoh lace with high frills rounl tho neok; simpler ones are smaller and are embroidered. Duchesso lace is popular for trimming evening dresses of silk or gauzo; it is also used for parasol covers, for handkerchiefs, collars, cuffs, waistcoats and fiually for mittens. A novelty in white Torchon lace is called double meshed Torchon and Is without a fancy design, resembling eyelet holes with a scallop to finish the odo. This trimming Is exceedingly strong and is much used on Cambria drosses aud pottiooats.

The great variety of fabrics and styles is the only stumbling block In the matter of Summer fashions. In trimmings the variety is as largo and uo trouble will come to any woman from tho impossibility ot getting what she needs, if choice Is her only annoynnae. Coaching umbrellas are to be seen at all the watering plaoes oven when there is no coaching done. The handles aro stout and strong, the oolors, bright and attractive aud thoy are light. They make a pretty sun shade, and are to be had in beautiful oolors.

For city wear and traveling short dresses are made up ot maUo beige and all shades of gray of suoh fabrics as Frenoh bunting, plain fine wool, camel's hair and combination goods. A pretty trimming for them la flue plaltlngs of Cluuy laeo of the oolor of the dress. The waistcoat Is the preferred bodioe tor the short skirt. The shawls for Summer wear of every' variety are especially pretty this season. Thoy range In price from $1,50 to $10.00 and are la all the light and dork shades known to the loom.

Among handsome stuff shawls are thin bourette, having oashmere colored stripe of rloh hues and rough threads alternating with a stripe of black and white. The black trimming laces most used this season on grenadine and on silk dresses are tho Inexpensive Spanish blonds and Frdnoh laoes. The Spanish laces have rich heavy patterns on thin grounds, and are therefore very effective. Tbey are put on slightly full, the fullness being held in gsthors, and are used to odgo grenadine overskirts, basques and polonaises. The fashion for fancy waistcoats increases.

Striped silk waistcoats are considered eepeclally elegant In black, oream, or beige brown, with satin stripes of the same shade. When brooaded waistcoats are used, some ot tho brocade appears aa trimming for the aleovoa, collar, and as the wlia turned up rovers ou tbe tabller of the orersklrt. White Turkish toweling and pique waistcoats are very popular with black dresses. The round cardinal capos reaching to the elbows, mafe oatlroly of rows of jet or silk fringe or of plaited laoo, are the most approved. There are also protty mantles mado up ou net foundations that are covered with rows of plaited French lace.

Tha net is cut (o tit the shoulders cloaely the fronts aro long and narrow; the lace used Is three inohee wide and laid on In small kilts one row slightly over lapping the next. Five rows are sufficient for tbe baok. A line of jet beading heads the upper row, and lastly there Is a standing plaiting of lace. In thin materials canvas grenndino, striped with brocaded satin. Is the first favorite; then there is a oanvas gauze covered with velvet roses in relief, Or with ohenille roses In reltof, whioh la exceedingly handsome when used as a tunic over black.

Bourette gauze, bourette Lyons crBpe and nelgeuse gauze are all used for evening dresses; for day wear there is linen, batiste, ecru canvas nod double Lyons foulard. Summer dresses sulphur barege are very pretty, trimmed with foather fringes. Sometimes It is trimmed with claret or pink, both of which colors contrast well with It. Sulphur oolor is in high favor just now. somo pretty soarfs of sulphur oolorej vlcurna are trimmed with chenille frlngo and embroidered in toad The thin Summer beige, camel's hair and gaseleine have quite taken the place of bunting, and are usually made as shortfooatumes.

in a style that furnishes a strong reminder of dresses worn thirty years ago. Tbe very latest French models consist of a skirt with a flounce at the bottom, a front laid In etralgbt folds and baok slightly draped, but plain upon tbe hips. The bodioe Is round( high and finished with capes or breUlUt, which crops tbe shoulder and outline a collar in the Dock, frltii this Blmple dress is worn a cspe of the mato. rial, which is finished with a plaited ruffle matching tbe flounce upon the skirt and headed with on embroidered galloon, or with silk folds or pipings. The new short costume introduced for the Paris Exhibition will now be very useful aa well as becoming for the seaside.

Thoy havo been sent to this oountry in large numbers, and are of iron gray woolen material, trimmed round the bottom with a deep plaited flounoe. A second' skirt la very muoh draped and looped up. The paletot Is half fitting, with rounded off fronts, showing the waist ooat shaped bodice of the dress, and simply trimmed' with a block piping, and two largo square pockets trimmed with silver buttons This style of costume is not becoming to ladies of stout figure, and so they take care to arrange their draperies in long lines or ohoose some material lined the long way. The shoes with the short costumes must be neat and of perfect fit, with heels not too high. At the Paris raoes recently the toilets seen were thousands in numbers and the styles were deolded for the world at largo fcy tho dresses worn by the elite of France on that occasion.

White was the popular oolor seen, and the fabrios were faille, barege, satin and silk. Somo ot the white allks had iUedtcfa cabliurs, thtokly studded with white jet and Oliver embroidery; others were covered with Alencon laoe. The oream bursges were oorered with profusion of Valenolennes lace or of guipure. Muoh of the laoe seen had been soaked in coffee to give It the appearance of old age. Some ot tbe styles seen were as follows: A navy blue barege over a striped blue and white auk plaited skirt; striped waistcoat and Louis coat in a Japanese material ot gold, woven with eoruslUc Another was a white satin, profusely trimmed with old silver passementerie; a silver straw Gainsborough hat, with, long white feathers.
