Mr. John W. O'Connor, a well known red dent of South Brooklyn, for tho past twenty one years died Friday morning, at hlo home 178 Preston street, after a brief illness, aged 78 years. Ho was born In the County of Limerick, Ireland, and was actlvoly identified In churoh and benevolent work, baring boon a member of St Agnes' Church, corner of Hoyt and Sackett street, for many years past. Ho loaves a widow and six sons, threo bt whom, William) John and Morris, aro prominently known in the Tenth Ward.

His funeral will take place tula al tornootfat 2 o'clock, from his late residence. FIRE IIT LEXINGTOfT AYENUE. worked on the Eagle forty years ago attest, more eloquently than words the loyalty and friendliness all round which distinguished and still distinguish the people Yo make this paper. With this body of information before them, it will not be difficult for the people of Brooklyn to understand why the Eaole has never had a successful rival and why it is not likely to have. They will also be able to see that whatever the opening era may require at the hands of journalism, the Eagle is in a posi reign, if we remember, of Charles it was a respected bishop of the Church of England who told the House of Lords that in not allowing divorces they increased the immorality of tho people, who would, be sure to 'adopt other measures of getting rid of a yoke in which there was no love.

That divorces are frequently sought on frivolous grounds and under transient exasperation is proved by the not very uncommon spectacle of the divorcod parties seeking reconciliation and marrying eaoh other over again. Dr. Dix does not deny that separation io an allowable remedy where mon and wife cannot live in harmonv toaether. But ho in In any way yrominont. Now, you hear me." "Well, ITl think it ovor muttered tho cashier.

"If I think it amounts to anything in the way of an item, IH boo that the paper is represented." "That's all right," growled tho mourner, turning reluctantly toward tho door. If you don't sand a reporter thore to morrow, and you have one or two whose timo 1b heavy on their hands, you'd do woll to send them somewhere to render thanks that you never knowcjl tho deceased. I don't ho continued, musingly, "if she's whero sho can hoar this conversation, she's liable to get rjght out of hor coffin and como down here and hold tho funeral services right on your shirt collar I If yon see a ghost hop in at any time between now and dark and continence to slam the delights out of this, institution without offerin' any reason for the circus, you may know that the departed knows what's going on In this world and is still prepared to tako a hand In whero an odd hand appears to bo wanted I Good by, Mister And with this direful suggestion tho bereaved took his line of march to tho neighboring saloon, pondorlng tha elements indiginous to sufficient prominence to secure tho attendance of a reporter at a plant. 8E WISHED TO BE IN FASHION. "I don't so why wa cant have our house Hied up liko othor housos," said Mrs.

Breezy, pulling ovor her work basket to find another piece of silk for her crazy quilt. "What is tho matter with the house, dear 7" asked Mr. Breezy, sinking back In his large armchair and lighting a cigar. "Everything," said Mrs. Breezy, holding a bright patoh of bluo silk besido a green one and wondering if the two colors woidd look woll together.

"It isn't half artistic onough. That's what's tho matter with it. It wants to be all redecorated and the parlors want ref ur uishing." "But wo'vo only had this sot of furnituro a year, aud it soems to me "No matter what it seems to you," said Mrs. Breezy 'youdont know anything about such things. Tho furnituro is jnew onough, to bo sure, but it's all alike.

Nowadays you want every piece different. It's awfully vulgar to havo a whole sot alike in your parlor. Beside, it isn't antique. I was In a parlor tho other day that was Just lovely. It was just chuckfull of spinning wheels, old clocks, straight backed chairs, fiddlo back sofas aud everything of that sort.

Every ploco different, all antique and mado especially to order by a big firm over in Now York." "But so was our furniture," said Mr. Breezy, remembering only too well how much tho set cost. "Oh, I know that," said Mrs. Breezy. "But its now ail out of stylo.

Every chair covered with bright lavender silk and tho woodwork gilded. Then thoso lavender silk curtains betweon tho doors. Oh, it's too vulgar for anything "But you thought they wore beautiful a year ago" "Nevor mind what I thought a year ago," said Mrs. Breezy. "It you expect a woman of any enterprise to think tho same way a whole year you don't know tho sex.

I bolievo in keeping up to tho timc3, Mr. Brcozy, every time, right along, and that satin furniture is all out of stylo." "Oh, that's tho secret of its vulgarity" "Don't chip in intosrupt mo with such disagreosblo remarks," Baid Mrs. Breezy. "That furnituro must go and the carpet along with it." "What's the mattor with the carpet asked Mj. Brcozy "I'm suro it's as handsomo a volvet "Oh, you don't know anything about such matters," said Mrs.

Broozy. "Everybody with the slightest art taste knows that carpets aro all out of style. First, I will have a hard wood floor made, and thon cover it with Turkish rugs. I saw a boautiful rug on Fourteenth street in Now York'tho othor day for forty dollars, and I think five or Bix of them scattored "What," cried Mr. Brcozy.

"WeU, you don't oxpect mo to put down a lot of imitation rugs, do you asked Mrs. Breozy. "Then wo want the walls of tho parlors papered" "But it's only six monthB ago that they wero frescoed," said Mr. Breezy. "Frescoed said Mrs.

Breozy. "Frescoed I But of courso you don't know." "I know what it cost to fix up that parlor," said Mr. Breezy, "and I don't understand how it can be ueces Bary to" "Oh, dear there's that miserable question of monoy again," Baid Mrs. Brcozy." But I havo mado up my mind to make our houso a little liko other houses. I shall givo an order to of Fifth avenue, to furnish our parlors in tho very latest antiquo stylo.

I have picked out a long clock already. Itia only throe hundred" "My dear" "Don't say "But I will," cried Mr. Breezy. "This is all non sonao. That furniture in tho parlor is good enough for a quoon, and I'll well, it will stay whore it is." And it did.

A FELLOW FEELING I don't suppose you allow any one to go over tho bridge yet," said a countryman, addressing one of th workmen on the East River Bridge. Not yet," said the workman. Well, I thought I'd just liko tor kinder walk np tor the top of the towor 'un look tho thing over. I supposo you wonldn't mind" No one allowed on any part of tho bridge," said the workman. I'vo heard toll a good deal 'bout this bridge, and I thought since I was a Rtranger in the city Wo havo bad too many people bothering us already," Baid tho workman, aud the boss won't allow any moro inside the gates." Woll, that's kinder tough on a man what's come nigh on to soventy five mile to sco that bridge.

Now, I expect you feel mighty high when ye got up thero. Must be over a hundred feet ter tho top of that big towor." Four or five hundred," said tho workman. Do toll," said tho countryman. Now I oxpoct as like as not I'd get giddy liko if I went up there. I don't mind runnin' tho risk, though." Can't be dono," Baid tho workman.

Dead against orders. You don't happen ter bo a drinkin' man, do you 7" asked the countryman, winking, and poking his hand into his pockot. "Cos if you do, I'd liko to havo you drink my "You needn't expect to bribe us," said tile workman. We're used to that sort of thing, and tho best thing you can do is to dust right out." "Dust what?" "Get. Move on." "Whon will you bo ready to receive visitors any way asked the countryman.

"Not in months yot," "Now, that's too old fired bad," said ths countryman. "Afore I left hum, Eliza says she, 'Zeklo, if you com' hum from York without crossin' that bridge yon hain't no husband of mine ng more. It's your big chance to becomo famous in our says eho, 'an' you hain't got a drop of go or snap in yo if you don't tako advantage of Now, stranger, be you a niamod man 7" "I am," said tho workman. "Then you can understand how I'm pi" "Go across," said tha workman, stepping aside, and allowing tho countryman to pass onto the bridge. FOLLY SIIOTS.

They were a Boston couple who had been married but a fow weeks, and had just gone to housekeeping. As tho husband stood at the area door one morning, with tho market basket in his hand, his bride threw her arms around his neck and said "Do you indeed love mo so vory, very much, Bradford 7" Bunker Hill Monument may fall," he answorod with enthusiasm, "but my lovo will always stand." "Well, then." Bho exclaimed, kissing him, "don't forget the beans." The word "Texas" is said to be a corruption of Tehos," the Indian namo for Paradise. Upon tho strength of this an attempt is made to prove Hint Texas is the Bito of tho Garden of Edon. The evidence to tho contrary' is overwhelming. If Cain's father had been a Texan, Abel would have been killed with a bowio knifo or a revolver.

The Hon. David Davis experiences some mortifications that men who lack his physical proportions aro not exposed to. Whon ho went to tho office of tho steamship company, after his marriage, to purchase a tlckot for Charleston, the clerk glanced at him hurriedly and remarked as he resumed his work "Applications for freight are received next door." A little girl holds a mirror up beforo her mothar's face and asks Mamma, do ou see yourself ia it Yes, my darling." No you don't, either," returns tho littlo one. Why not 1" queries tho mother. Because I heard Mrs.

Biggs say you were so ugly that if you ovor looked into a glass ou'd break it." Mrs. Biggs ond the child's mother aro neighbors and members of the same Christian sowing circle. Among the antiquities recently added to the collection in the British Museum is Nebuchadnezzar's doorstep. Tho prints made by tho boo theols of his daugliter's young man while he was struggling to get away from a chunk of chewing gum which Bhe had thoughtlessly dcpoBited upon the Btoop where ho sat down, are said to bo yot plainly visible. A frugal Brooklyn housekeeper who had suffered many mystorious depredations of her lar dar was asked what class of servants girls she preferred, and aiiBwercd "Thoso who leave all their relatives in the old country." "When Bernhardt's husband made up his mind to quit her and go back to the army.

She bade him good by, kindly and said "Dammy, I wish you all success in tho career to which you roturn." "No fear on that account, Sara. I have learned moro about war in the last twelve months than I over knew before." A Massachusetts man, who was tired of hearing his wife's amiability extolled, fed hor for several weeks on cock sparrows, and now ho spends most of his timo under tho woodshed. "Pa's a long way ahead of Wiggins," said Melancthon, to ono of Mr. Marrowfat's guests, as they were oxamining the pictures in tho parlor after dinner. "Your father is a vory clever man," politely observed tho gentleman to whom the remark was addressed.

"Yes," continued the garrulous boy, "ho can tell when there's a Btorni coming every timo, just by looking in ma's face." Mrs. Lillie Devereaux Blake describes woman as "tho grand crowning act of crcativo power." That about hits her off. But nobody can really appreciate how grand she is until he goes a fiBhSng vrith hor. When a silly fish becomes entangled in her hook does she pull it right iu without any noiso or nonsonso 7 No Bho is too grand for that. Sho simply sits down on tho rod and yells for some man to come and haul the horrid thing ashore HOME FOU AGED MEX.

On tho afternoon and evening of next Tuesday tho fifth annual reception will take place at the Home, No. 81 8tato street, tho hours being from 10 to 2 o'clock.

Judge Morris would scarcely proceed in ft matter of this gravity without good authority. If it can be proved that any agent of the corporation did approach a jury with corrupt intent and that his aotion was authorized by some person interested in the Central Railroad, justice and tho publio good demand that the latter should share with him and the facile juror the penalties prescribed by law. So long as wealthy corporations can manipulate juries with impunity the rights of plain citizens are forfeited and the law is a farce.

THE DYNAMITE SECTION'S PROS PECTIVE PROSPERITY. So far from repudiating the discredit of the attempt to blow up tho Government Buildings in Westminster, the interesting persons who. have no other visible means of support than the contributions of their dupes to skirmishing and similar funds, claim that the rascally business was done through them, and that the gratitude of their compatriots should take a substantial and pecuniary form of acknowledgment That the plot, if such bungling piece of vandalism rises to the dignity of a plot, was formed in this country there aro several reasons for believing. The funds over which the dynamite section have wangled and which each member accuses tho others of having stolen aro collected in this country from ignorant people who ondly believe that they aro really doing something to improve the condition of their relatives and friends on the other side of the Atlantic, by parting" with their little savings, and the very air of mystery and secresy which tho plunderers designedly throw around their alleged movements is well calculated to extort the dollars from warmhearted impulsive people who are conscious that wrong has been done, and whose confidence in the honesty of their compatriots is one of their most admirable characteristics. In order to be able to renew their demands from time to time these worthless collectors must make some show of activity.

The preposterous ram, upon which thousands of dollars are alleged to have been spent, was easily seen to be a demand for more money, and doubtless the published and privately circulated descriptions of that marine prodigy acted as a powerful stimulus to patriotism and liberality. Tho inevitable squabble over the booty had a' contrary A' party of men, each one of whom seemed to distrust all the rest and whose principal publio effort seemed to be a rivalry as to who could most pointedly charge larceny against the remainder, was scarcely in a position to ask for the confidence and money of strangers. It became manifest that something must to stir up the contributors, and without much question tho explosion of Thursday was resolved upon, with this object in view. That it has partially succoeded already there can bo no doubt. Indeed, as our news columns yesterday showed, the active agents of tho dynamite brigade felt its influence at once.

A Boston "center," with a sudden relief from the prospect of having to work could not contain his enthusiasm and telegraphed his congratulations to New York and jubilantly announced "I can collect money now in Boston." Of course with such an assuranco of renewed prosperity tho dynamite brethren ore only too anxious to saddle themselves with all the orimes committed in tho island so long as they can be turned to profitable account in extorting money. Their satisfaction is undisguised, and no doubt they will actually spend a dollar or two in dynamite enough to make more noise in other purts of the United Kingdom. It is a cheap method of advertising, and the ridicule cast upon the section only serves to keep up the excitement and to secure more contributions. A singular fact, which may aid the London police in discovering the peqjotrator of this malignant folly, and which points to New York as the place where the plot was hatched, may have escaped notice. The dosigu of the conspirators was probably to mako an end of Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Homo Secretary.

Ho is notoriously a bitter and vindictive repressionist and merciless in his dealings with malefactors. In all the published maps of London the building which was attacked is marked as the Home Office. A short time ago that office changed its quarters a fact that would be known to Londoners, but which would naturally have escapod tho notice of the dynamite section which is far moro concerned with money getting than with London topography. Tho inferenco is that the promoters of this ingenious advertisement wore oithor foreigners or persons who had not resided long in the British capital. A hint to that effect might bo of service to the detectives and might not be without interest to some of our readers.

A DOUBLE POLICE FORCE For some time past the City of Troy has on joyed the reputation of having tho finest pugilistic exhibitions in tho country. The sparrors have not been, molested there, and even when the Madison Squaro Garden was temporarily closed against them and all looked black and gloomy, they were sustained by the sweet consciousness that thoy could always go to Troy to replenish their pocketbooks. Whether this fact was coincidental with, causative of or resultant from the condition of the police force, the reader may judge. For two years past there have been two sets of pol' commissioners and two police forces in Troy. Ono of these the Controller distinctly refused to pay, and suit was brought to compel him to do so.

The Special and General Terms refused to grant the mandamus. Tho Court of Appeals has granted it, with costs on the other side. It was manifest that a city with two police forces could not expect much protection from bruisers and rogues, since each force would have its entire time taken up in watching the other. With ono force famished for want of pay and compelled to earn its living by supplementary exhibitions in the ring and the other engaged in providing for new quarters, it is only wonderful that tho ruffians of tho State hove not taken up a permanent residence in Troy. The result of the suit by Mr.

Neville against the proprietors of tho Fifth Avenue Hotel for causing his ejection from tho premises presents $250 worth of reasons for tho boliof that the hotel "bouncer" is not a profitable investment. It will tend to arrest his spread and development and prevent his ascent of those dizzy heights of fame where the hotel clerk and facile baggage smasher are permanently established. In the disposition recently manifested by two students of Columbia College to settlo their differences after tho fashion of Burr and Hamilton Dr. Dix might find another argument for his opposition to the coeducation of tho sexes. Very certain it is that the rivalries and jealousies likely to be provoked by the presence of Gotham's fair daughters would not diminish the invitations to pistols and coffee.

The natives of Alaska have made applica to the authorities at Washington for "school teachers. They do not seem to be equally eager for missionaries. These tribes probably accept tho religious example of the, officers and agents of the Alaska Fur Company as an indication of what Christianity would do for them, and if that is the only sort of religion the United States is prepared to furnish they don't want any of it. The French Government has at last decided to carry out tho oft repeated threat to 4 'strike" at the Malagasy ports. Accordingly orders have been issued by the commander of the French fleet in Madagascar to blockade the shore and occupy several ports of the island.

Whatever may be' the course which France is about to take it must be remembered that up to the present time she has made no publio declaration of her demands upon Madagascar, nor has she made any explanations of the hostile operations which she is about to commence to other nations which have large interests at stake there. The French will not suc coed in subjugating tho natives of the groat African island as easily as they did those of Tunis. The Malagaches, from all accounts, even from French sources, seem firmly resolved to defend their island and fight for their rights rather than submit to French control. Though they are not numerous and cannot resist French iron clads they are warlike, and can successfully preve.fti.'&nMck interior, and until tho Trench have? conquered the interior: the'Betttenients vnll bft oomparaUTely' woruueas.

We can't carry on a Baptist church THtti'anyid'of not," demanded the New TJtrocht farmer, who was particularly interested in that denomination. "Wall, we tribdjliard for a long timo," replied tho Dakota man, sizing his victim.

"We started in with a good congregation, money in the bank, boll, organ, a choir way up in everything to gladdon tho Baptist heart, but we couldn't make it winnors any way we could fix it" "I don't seo Why not," said tho Now Utrecht man. "Down our way we only have a proachor and a mortgage, buf. we are garnering souls right straight along." "1a in our tanks," continued the Dako tian. "Wowbiild dift a fink, fill hor up with water, start in to wash a convert, but they never came to the surface againii Couldn't understand it for a long time. Down they'd go.

one after another, but we couldn't haul 'em up 'first Sunday wo worked tho first tank' wo lost ttfonty' oight head o' soul "What was' the matter asked tho Now Utrecht man. "We didn't "find out till the noxt day when we commenced skirmishing for'the bodies. TJioh we found that indiggihg the tank wa had struck a rioh pooket that tho water brought out strong, and oTory fellow that went down saw the glint, and went for it. Couldn't mako 'em let go I Thoy was all after it, and thoy stayed right there tha. New Utrecht man.

Wa couldn't do muoh for 'em that day because it was Sunday, but tho next day wo flsliod 'cm out dead every motlier's man of 'em 1" me thciro must bo lota of gold In that country, mused tho Now Utrocht man. "Thoro's trouble Is," conceded the other, watching him carofnUy. "But we didn't give it up. That weok wo dug anothor tank, and we Just cemented it all around, so as to make sura of getting the unre gonoratcd back, but we didn't fetch it Luck Beemed all against us. "What was the matter this time "We sent down fourteon for a flyer, and not a man of 'em came back to explain what kept him.

Monday wo went at that tank agaiq, and we found that tho mud wo had used for Cement was worth $600 to tho ounce. It was tho richest dirt in tho torritory." The New Utrocht man tried to conceal tho watering of his mouth, and fho man protended not to see it. Wo triod it in' every Way wo oould think of, but thoy caught us overtime," continued tho gentleman from Dakota. Ofc course; tho church mado a great deal of money out of it, bocauao tho famo of our tanks got out and wo used' to charge from $500 to $1,000 a head for baptism, but it didn't' swell tho congregation any. We was winners ln material wealth, but wo didn't hare enough people to divide it At last wo got to baptising each other until thero was no ono loft but ma, and I rented ojjt the fourteen tanks we had at a million apiecofor a jpearand I'm traveling to shako off my grief over our' lost church." And youitlll hold the plant domanded tho Now Utrecht man, eagorly.

'SFor sure 1" replied the Dakota man, indignantly. You don't suppose I'd sell out my church, do you 7" "Not to a good Baptist who would like to see if he couldn't fix'thoso tanks so they would hold tho perishing souls that wont down into thorn I hadn't thought of that," muttered the Dakota man. Aro you willing to take such a responsibility on your hands 7 I tell you frankly that it's no use of trying to make a tank in that country that will hold Christians and let 'em come up again. It can't be done, because tho ground's to full of gold." Are you willing to sell tho plant to a man who knows how to work it so that every man that goes in comes out agata and the New Utrecht man's eyes glistened and his heart thumped hard as he put the question. "I might let you have ono tank to experiment on," murmured the Dakota man, hesitatingly.

"I'd bo afraid to trust you with; any more. Your scheme might fail and I'd never forgive myself." "Try mo yelled the Now Utrecht man, glowing all over with anticipation. "Let me have that tank and see if I don't carry conviction to the hearts of tho unre generato and without lwing 'am oithor "Ill try you on ono tank," consented tho Dakota man, after a long pause. "You can havo ono tank for three thousand. The flguro is merely nominal and I put it in to save tho church's ranchisc.

"Kin you send a reporter around to my houso to do a send off 7" asked a middle aged man, approaching the cashier with a visage in which timidity and cheek woro curiously bleudod. "What kind of a send off 7 When iB it domanded the caRhier. "It's a plant, and it comes off to morrow afternoon," replied tho stranger. "To morrow at threo sharp we aro going to plant my wife, and I her that I would havo a reporter present and a long article about the way itwas dono.

Sho was a great stickler for such things whon sho was alive, and I want her to havo tho right thiug now sho has gono up tho ilumo. Ein you send ono around 7" "Was she a prominent woman 7" inquired tbo cashier. "We don't often soud reporters to write up the funerals of private citizens unless thero is something particularly interesting abont the person or the exercises. Did I understand you that sho was a very prominent women?" "Well, Mister, thero was times whon sho was the most prominent woman in our ond of the town. Thero was times when sho was tho only citizon that cotild stay anywhere around whore she was.

Thero was times when she would keep evory reporter that over was born as busy as a tramp at a freo lunch, and if that prominence isn't quito up to your pitch, there was times when if she'd kim in here and asked you to do anything for her, you'd havo dose it, or it would havo taken all tho rest of tho employes around this building to havo found where you went out. Is that prominence enough for a reporter to write something about tho Bend off tomorrow "That's very woU as far as it goes," replied the cashier, in 4 Sympathetic voice. "But what part did sho seem to take in public affairs that would warrant ub in believing' that tho publio is interested in her obsequies 7" "Part 1 What part did she take 7" Was you ever in tho vicinity whoSfthoro was any public affaire going on that sue felt an interest in 7 Was you ever located where you conld look on in safety when that interest of hern began to take a grip 7 I guess you couldn't have been, partner," by the questions you ask about that woman." "But who was sho? What did she do? What was her particular line?" "Mister, it's hard to tell who sho wasn't when she got started. Sometimes Bhe was a buzz saw sometimes I thought she was intended for a steam triphammer; there was other tfiiic3 when sho was an electric light wire. That's who Bhe was.

As to what Bhe did I'U refer you to the walls and buildings around where ehe lived. The marks is thero. You can boo for yourself. Her line lay right through the middle of whatever was going on. Sho went into everything that visited tho neighborhood, aud when sho.

came out of it she loft a holo that thore was no mistaking. Is that prominence enough for a reporter to kim around to morrow and say a word for the way we give her the grand launch 7" "I don't see yet that sho was of enough importance for the public to tako any interest In her funeral," argued the cashiuv "P'raps no sighed lha bereaved. "P'raps not Thero is them, who never having kuowed her wouldn't think, to bco her. in hor twelve dollar coffin, that Bhe ever run our seotjon of the town right up a trco and stood undor it apd throwed brickatft it until it dropped down again. I don't know how important people lias got to be to have a reporter at the wake, but I kin tell you that it's A lucky for you that she pegged out befrre me." "I don't Bee what I'vo got to do with that," smiled the cashier.

Bay 127. tttauoa n. ufoowvn SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 18, 1883. The Sunday Morning Edition of the Eagle has a Large and Grmcing Circulation Throughout the United States. It is ths Best Advertising Medium for Those who Desire to Reach all Classes of Neiospaptr Reader in Brooklyn and on Long Island.

The Daily (Evening) Eagle is now in its Forty fourth Year. Its Circulation is Larger Than That of any Otlier Paptr of its Class in tlie United Statu, and it it Stead ily Increasing Keeping Pace with Vie Growth of the Great Cilv of which tits Ragle is Ad mittedly the Journalistic Repi estntativs. THE EAGLE. Thorc is a large senso in which every vital newspaper may bo called public proporty This is true, not only because the pros perity of the newspaper depends on public favor, but because the fundamental reason of its being lies in the common needs and general of the community. This rolation of 1 necessity grows with tho advance of lime.

At first tho uewspapor, is little more, por hma. to tho reader than a medium of information, but by and by its chiunc teristics become blended with his own; he has learned to accept its counsel in many mat ters beyond tho circlo of his personal obscrva tion his recollection of important events and many social transactions are identified with its pages he takes it into his affections for its advocacy of sood movements in which his sympathies were engaged, and at last his habits of mind make its coinpnn onship as indispeusablo as his morning or evening meal. Because of this wo say tho nowsDnner mav nroperlv bo spoken of as property which the public may rightly demand a clear aocount of from time to time. At all events, this is tho theory upon which the Eagle proceeds. Its identification with Brook lyn is complete.

It has grown with the growth and strengthened with the strength of tho city. being well content with the distinction of faithfully mirrorina tho life of its constit uency, and defending its interests against all enemies. The conductors of the. Eaole have no secret polioies no political schemes which need either to be concealed or sustained by sophistry no alliances which can by any possibilityabridge their independence no jour nalistic objects which the humblest of its readers may not at proper times inquire into with the certainty of being frankly answered. They are not at tho work of making what is com monlv called an organ.

The Eaole be lieves in the theory of government expound ed by Thomas Jefferson, but tho sincerity of its Democracy is not the least of tho influences that have made it decline resolutely to permit any convention to determine for the Eagle what Democracy is, or to support unworthy mon because they had succeeded in securing some so callod Tegular nomination. To tho best of its ability, the Eagle is the organ of the people of Brooklyn, and of no sort of faction or party. What it believes it writes; what it deems wrong it assails, no matter by whom proposed or urged, and above all and all the time it takes pains to have every proceeding of public moment reported truthfully, without a shadow of bias. The prosperity of the Eagle is, in our judgment, explained by the long and faithful adherence to this course, hacked by intelligence in its editorial work and enterprise in the field of news. In tho line of tho policy just indicated tho Eagle to day presents an account of itself which must prove interesting in many ways.

Having greatly extended its material borders and added to its printing facilities two of the most improved presses invented up to the time, so as to be able to print its four o'clock edition and Sunday edition at tho rate of eighty thousand copies an hour, this appears to bo a good time for indulging in Bome reminiscences, as well as for making a few forecasts. Tho story told in this the most Voluminous copy of tho Eagle yet produced, and, we think, the largest Sunday paper, advertising supplements apart, published in this country, is of more than passing interest. There is matter presented which no intelligent historian of Brooklyn will ignore, as well as information which in a very striking way brings before tho mind the enormous advances made within the past forty years in the structure of tho printing press. We have caused a se rios of lithographs to be made showing in succession the presses on which the Eagle has from its infancy until now been printed. Without a word of comment these pictures render forth a narrative of progress which future generations will count among tho greatest achievements of our century.

If Gutenberg had livod to see the Washington hand press in operation, with its capacity for turning off two or three hundred impressions an hour, ho might well have deemed all tho latent capacities of his own invention realized; but surely were the father of printers to stand in the Eagle press room today and behold this issue of the paper being thrown off and folded by machines at the rate of twenty four thousand an hour from each of them, he would bo pardoned for doubting tho testimony of his senses. Thcso larger facilities have been made indispensable to the Eagle by tho public demands for the paper. This is not in ony sense a fancy investment. Tho circulation of tho Eagle has been limitod by the number of copies it has been found practicable to print and Bcrvo upon the supper tables of its potrons. There has at no time been any attempt to swell the circulation by advertising dodges or clap trap devices.

These new presses h.ive been set in motion, as their predecessors were each of which was an improvement in its time because thoy are absolutely needed. In writing of the presses, some account has been given of the new building in which thoy are placed. This structure stands on property adjoining the present Eagle building and behind Brown's Hotel, which has also been purchased by the Eagle to meet the inevitable necessities of tho not distant future. This building is as nearly fireproof as skill could make it and is, perhaps, more admirably adapted for the work to bo done in it than any similar structure in this part of the United States. Lighted, warmed and ventilated according to tho most approved plans, it will enable tho Eagle's compositors, stercotypers and pressmen to discharge their respective duties under the most favorable conditions practicable.

In addition to describing what may be termed the material side of tho Eagle's development, the article in question tells in concise form the whole story of Brooklyn journalism, giving an account of all the papers, big and little, that havo from tho beginning until now been published in Brooklyn, and what will not improbably be deemed of greatest interest by the Eagle's readers, telling something of the men who as business men, printers and editors have eon tributed in the vffist or contribute lit tho pres ent tune to make it the imbhcation it is. fi will not escape" uutloe that this personal jgowip discloses a spirit at once highly KJonsrrvative and fruitful of gowd understanding between the employers and those" employed. It is common remark among the newspaper jnen of the city that it is hard to get on the And, if anything, still more difficult to Death makes most of the changes in ijhia office. Servants still employed who A fire ooourred Friday night at tho house of Herman Zelgler, at No. 44 Bodford avenue, and resulted in a loss of $200.

The building, which is owned by Mr. Quackenbrosf, of No. 44 Bedford avenue, was damaged to the same extent. Both losses are covered by insurance. The causo of tho flro is nukownn.

His opponents say, on the contrary, that where the two live together they should go their separate ways through life.

The question, as a social problem apart from the ecclesiastical aspect of it, must be brought at last to the bar of experience. Is there more morality in France, Italy and Spain, where divorce is forbidden and the utmost relief of either party is a judicial or voluntary separation, than in America, where divorces are no doubt too easily obtained in many eases Has the ecclesiastical view of marriage been more successful than the civil in restraining passion and regulating temper Here again the answer will vary according to time and place, for there can bo no doubt that sexual morality has sometimes been at its lowest when ecclesiastical domination has been at its height. We would not remind Dr. Dix of the crimes of a Borgia who occupied the greatest Episcopal chair in Christendom, for ho would say at once that corruption of morals not less than of faith led to the ecclesiastical revolution which broke the unity of Christendom. But while tho picture he draws of Christianity lifting woman from degradation to spiritual freedom, and from the position of the concubine to that of tho wife, is very pretty to look upon, it is yet to be proved that the Christian wife with the church's benediction upon her is always the emancipated and exalted being that Dr.

Dix pictures her. It is, indeed, from a contrary conviction that those whom he describes as tho destroyers of social order have opened the door of the divorce courts to release her from the ecclesiastical marriage which to the happily married and amiable Dr. Dix seems to be the secoud Edon which tho Christian Churoh has created to distil sweet perfumes and to blos som as the rose." THE FUTURE OF BAY RIDGE. Attention has been called in these columns from time to time to the improvements that are going on in the part of the city adjoining Bay Ridge and to tho future of that section. In the Eagle yesterday it was announced that tho executors of the Hunt estate, comprising some 300 acres, the largest property controlled by one party, have determined to prepare the ground for residence and business purposes, and already a great deal has been done in this direction.

Streets have been laid out, other projects are well afoot and application has been made to tho Union Ferry Company for a line of forryboats to connect with New York at some available point. In view of tho tendency of our population to spread out in various directions, and the prospect of the solution at no distant day of the rapid transit problem, theso preparations on the part of the executors promise very well indeed for the future of the eity at large. All who havo visited Fort Hamilton and spent Summer days in the vicinity of Bay Ridge will remember that no Bpot in the State offers equal advantages for residence purposes. There is plenty of natural timber yet to be found there, and tho locust groves aro famous. The region on tho upper side of Third avenue possesses every qualification for dwellings.

It stands high above tido water, the prevailing winds of Summer avrcep over tho bay and temper the atmosphere of tho neighborhood. It is within easy distance of Coney Island, and with such a ferry sorvico as is contemplated and rapid transit within the city limits there is no reason why this part of the city should not become the most popular and most beautiful in the country. That it must eventually fill up is certain, for tho future of Brooklyn is dependent upon its unequalled water front. Up to tho present time this has been but partially developed, but it is capable of extension along the entire lino from the Atlantic and Erie basins. As it is our shipping interest is much larger than that of New York.

Our sister city has oxhousted her capacity, or, at all events, can extend it but little up tho North River we have yet many miles to improve, and with facilities in our favor such as belong to no other port in the world. With an abundance of deep water and available laud for tho purpose tho Bay Ridge shore should and doubtless will become the groat shipbuilding point of the United States, just as soon as Congress succeeds in modifying the tariff in such a way that American labor and capital can compete with thoso of tho Clyde and other British centers of industry. Indeed, it was announced, some time ago, that such a project was about to be undertaken on the chance of that legislation. At all events, the moment that the tariff is remodeled in such a way that the possibility of trading on even terms with other nations in American ships is secured we may be sure that a speedy transformation of Bay Ridge into a beohive will follow as a matter of course. CHARGED WITH CORRUPTING JURORS.

Thoughtless people, who in rare cases of the miscarriage of justice through tho vonality or stupidity of jurors, are apt to deride the system which experience has proved to be the best possible and to sneer at verdicts as being usually inconsequent and not in accord with the evidence. Attention was callod to this subject a few days ago by tho unreasoning indignation of a Pennsylvania community at a verdict which acquitted a murdorer who, no doubt, deserved the full penalty of tho law. It is again challenged by an incident which occurred in ono of our own courts during the past week in a suit for damages brought by a formor employe against a powerful monopoly, the New York Central Railroad Company. The plaintiff had bees run over by a train while in the performance of his duty, and was in court. One juror who had imprudently commiserated him was discharged and another was substituted.

After a long deliberation tho jury reported it could not agree, a majority standing out for substantial compensation and a small minority for insignificant damages. It was therefore discharged. But subsequent to this disposition of tho case ex Judge Morris, of counsel for the plaintiff, made a statement to the Court which is worthy of the closest attention. He claimed that what he mildly characterized as a violation of tho court had been committed by one of the jurors, and requested permission to be heard on the subject and to produce evidence in support of his statement. A date was accordingly fixed for such a hearing.

It appeared that during tho trial, according to Judge Morris' information, one of tho jurors had been approached by a detective, alleged to be in tho employ of the Now York Central Railroad Company that this juror had previously displayed unwonted emotion and wept in sympathy with the wounded plaintiff that in tho jury room ho had steadily hold out against giving tho plaintiff moro than $50 or $100, and that his action accounted for the disagreement. Of conrse, until tho testimony is presented, it would be improper to name tho juror and to discuss the case. It was clearly the duty of the advocate, in his rolation as an officer of the court, to call tho attention of Judge Brown to the facts as thoy were, stated to him, and in doing so he has earned the thanks of tho community. It is ono of the most dangerous of our civilization, "and is, perhaps, the element which has principally operated to precipitate a contest between tho corporations and the peo pio, that money plays an important and frequently a corrupt tport not only in framing laws but even in carrying them out through the courts. The railroad corporations havo notoriously secured legislation in thoir own interest and against that of the public, such as the provision which limits the compensation of a family which sues for damages for the loss of a life to $5,000.

This law has probably tended to mSlte the railroad companies more reckless than ever, or they find it cheaper to tall tnan to merelv maim tneir passengers and em riores. It has bsen fitted moreover, tot money has been, expended courts, to cor i iinf. l'ririnq Ivrina nboilt din 'cemouts and tion to meet it fully. DR. DIXS POSITION REVIEWED.

In the replies of Mrs. Lillie Dovereux Blake and others to Dr. Morgan Dixy he is charged with being a medievalist sonio centuries behind tho ago in which ho lives. Dr. Dix and those who think with him would probably accopt the charge in another form, and say that he is for returning in social ethics to the old paths in which ho thinks there was more peace and purity than now.

Ho would toll them in the words familiar to us in tho miracle at Cana, "No mon having drank old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, the old is bet "ter." Tho position taken by Dr. Dix is not new one, although it is rather assumed than ox pressed in the teaching of the Christian clergy. It is, that Christian morality is based upon Divino order and appointment, and cannot be changed with tho caprices or tempers of society. Tho world, ho believes, must conform to the church, not the church to the world. Tho practices and doctrines of Christianity are not to be fashioned to the varying hour." An increasing number of tho most learned and influential of the clergy of tho Anglo American Episcopal Church, to which Dr.

Dix belongs, are speaking and thinking as he does. Even if the position is untenable, it seems more than likely that tho last gun fired in defense of historical and social Christianity will be fired in the American Republic rather than the old State church countries of Europe. When Dr. Dix attributes the infidelity and lax morality of our modern marriages to tho "system called Protestantism," he may lead many who aro not familiar with the sense in which ho uses the term, to infer that he himself is on the highway to Rome. This is quite a mistake.

Matthew Arnold, in one of his later publications, has distinctly said that the Church of England, of which the American Episcopal Church is a branch, cannot rightly bo classed with the Protestant denominations. Indeed, the English Church nowhere calls herself by that name, and it is regarded as a misfortune by Dr. Dix, Dr. Ewer and other leading Episcopalians, that the American offshoot should have adopted a name which, standing origiually for those who "protested" against a decree of the Imperial Diet of Spires, came to bo used of all who threw off the papal yoke at tho Reformation, and in our time is a mero negation. Nearly fifty years ago in a courso of Lectures on the Prophot ical Office of the Church, Viewed Relatively to Romanism and Popular Protestantism," the present Cardinal Newman, who was thon Vicar of the University Church at Oxford, declared that in an age when the coimection between Protestantism and infidelity had become so manifest, it was tho duty of every sincoro believer in tho Christian Church as a divino institution to repudiate alike tho name of Protestantism and tho disbelief connoted by it.

Although ho became a Romanist ten years afterward, Cardinal Newman has sinco his conversion reissued the work, eliminating only the strictures he passed upon the Church of Rome as corrupt and demented. Dr. Ferdinand C. Ewer, when rector of Christ Church, New York, delivered sonio fourteon years ago a courso of lectures on Protesfifutism a "Failure," and a few years afterward tho late Dr. James DeKoven, Warden of Racine College, proposed in the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church that the name should bo changed so that tho obnoxious word "Protestant" should no longer adhere to tho body.

Dr. Schonck, of this city, and others of tho opposite way of thinking vehemently opposed the change, and tho proposition fell to tho ground. We mention these facts in order to dissipate the misconception that there is the slightest contagion of what Protestants call Popery in Dr. Dix's repudiation of "Protestantism." In fact, the two systems, tho ono representing ecclesiastical tyranny and the other ecclesiasti cal anarchy, aro equally distasteful to the theological palates of the Anglo Catholic clergy. Tho late Dr.

Pusey was the most learned representative of this in medio tutis "simus ibis" system, which had in former days such heroic adherents ns Laud, Ken, An drewes, Wilson and Bull, whoso learning extorted tho public acknowledgment of Bossuet and tho prelates of tho Gallican Church. Indeed, the position of tho Anglo Catholics is much like that of the French Church in tho daj's of Bossuet and Colbert who put forth tho famous Declarationes," in which the liber ties of tho Church of France were asserted against the autocracy of the Pope. Bossuet himself was a forerunnor of Newman and Pusey as they of Dr. Dix and his colleagues in seeing the weak negations of Protestantism which he set forth in his Variations." Pore Hyacinthe ia of the samo mind, and even before ho left the Church of Rome he pro tested" from the pulpit of Notro Dame against "dogmas which are Roman but not i Catholic." This being the )ositidn of Drs. Dix, Swei' and others of the leading clergy of the An.

glo American Episcopal Church, it will appear to many as it does to us, that the famous Oxford movement i3 being revived and resus citated in America. Newman and Manning abandoned it in despair; Pusey, Keble and Bishop Wilberforce are dead; and, except tho Dean of St. Paul's and Canon Liddon, it has no great literary champion in England, although Mr. Gladstone, who joined it in its infancy, in 1833, has never forsaken it. Ho believes that it represents the historical and theological vitality of the religion of the English people.

The angry confessions even of its enemies attest that the Oxford movement has permeated the National Church, and extended oven to the most distant colonies. Gold win Smith, in his lectures upon Oxford University, delivered at Boston eighteen years ago, said that all it had done was to destroy the flower of English intellect, and that the only monument of its ex istence was tho broken mast that marks tho sunken hull. But this candid, and in some other lines accurate, thinker and observer stands cor rected in this estimate, not only by the present vitalized condition of the Church of England, but by that constantly increasing prominence of this revived Catholicism of the purer ages in the American Episcopal Church. Dr. Dix's lectures aro only ono expression of tho grow ingentiment of what S.

T. Coleridge long ago said that Christianity is not a system of philosophy but "a life and a living process." The church is the house of faith and virtue in which this living process is carried on in tho hearts and lives of its members. Hence the church is a family, and tho church on earth has its presence chamber and reality in heaven. This is tho theology of Anglo American Cath olicism, of which Dr. Dix is a very fair rep resentative.

It is not a mere enthusiasm or fanaticism, whatever else we may think of it. It quite accords with the human side of Christianity so powerfully depicted by Professor J. R. Sceley in his "Ecce Homo," that the church is a society founded for the preservation and diffusion of virtue. It can hardly be denied that as tho homo is the center of tho social system, so marriage is tho central idea of home.

We suppose that thoso who differ most widely from the views of Dr. Dix will not question the importance of marriage. The difference between the two views is this: That Dr. Dix maintains the sacramental character of marriage, while his opponents regard it only as a civil, contract or affectional union. They may deplore as much as he does the frequency of divorce and such facts as tho 2,000 divorces a year in New England, whereby 4,000 persons aro divorced and 2,000 homes and families broken up.

They may even go with him so far as to accept the doc trine of Christ that "saving for the cause of "fpruication" )t should not be lawful for a man to put away his wife. But where they join issuo with him is in the right of divorced poisons to marry again. The innocent party, Atording to his teaching, ought to be allowed Id marry again, and is so, as a matter of fact. But to what is the other party condemned Is Dr. Dix correct in thinking that tile cause of morality is served by obliging the respondent and co reftpondont to a divorce suit to remain unmarried At he timetho question of divorce was mooted a nglond in the virtually defoat the purposos, of.Slaw detection bo far aaiWnaijcenaAfUfew.
