CBLEBKATINO HER BIKTHOAT. Mr. and Mrs. H. O'Nlel entertained a largo circle of friends at their residence, 53 Tompkins plnce, on Saturday evening, January 28, tho occasion being the twelfth anniversary of their daughter Katie's birthday.

Tho young folks assembled at 3 P. AL, when the festivities began with dancing, which was continued until 6:30, when Bupper was served. This was followed by singing, recitations and games, and dancing was resumed and Indulged In Is the Church Holding Its Own in This Age Cnmstock's Work Aprnosfie Cant and Doctrines Which Are Facts Fulton Between Two Fires Arbitration Papal Politics. Tho Manninc Idea The Drama Mexico. The Watchman does not take a hopeful view of th3 adequacy of tho ministry to tho spiritual wants of the ago: All accessible facta show that tho increase of tho falls short of tho wants of our churches and missions at home and abroad.

Wo havo mora than 30,000 Baptist churches; wo have loss than 20.000 ministers Tbe contemplation of so many paatorleas churches is adapted to raiso much question Tho spoctaclo of hundreds of churches in need ot pastors without auy vtaiDto source of supply is asa 1 one. The Christian Inldlifjencer attributes the great increase In crime of lato yoars to tho following cauaes: Tho holiness of God. tho inflexible Justice of his been put in tho background, whilo unqualified and hardlv scriptural ronroseniatious of the fatherhood of God and of divine lovo tiavo almost monopolized the teaching. Tho fenr of God is not in the moral ntmo iphero. That without holiness no man shall see the Lord ia not a prevalent conviction.

A mighty restraint has boon removed to such au extent mat it hardly oxiita. The Obneroer speaks of Dr. McCosh's recommendation to tho Evansolical Alliance of more parochial visitation as tho bridge over tho present chasm between the church and the working classes: Philosopher as Dr. is, ho hm fouu 1 tho remedy for tho evil not lu the depths of philosophy, but lu tho remembered experience of his paatnral days. It needs 'into reflection to bring the cnnclu fdon that the plan proposed Is tho rlgnt ouo.

It win, as Dr. McCosh showed, tho Pauline plau. Paul wrote to tho elders of tho churcli at Ephoaus or having taught from house to houso. And this was the plon pursued by the Prlhcotnu preaideut when yoars ago he was a Scottish pastor. The Christian Regixkr thinks the church i holding its own from uge to It says: Tho church of ihe present is undoubtedly mora a tive, more intense, more varied in otiercy and enterprise than tho church of a contury ago.

Our forefathers uld undoubtedly aiand aghast at tho amoum of work which someof our modern churches accomplish in the course ot a yoar. Tho educational al lo of the old churcli was devotod mainlv to the liliilo and tho catechism. In tho modern church It has a wider range. Somo of tho activities of the modern church may be feverish and uu healihful, but tor the moat part they are salutary. The Christian Advocate is the lntesl journal to hold up Mr.

Comstock's hands. It says of the French flinga against him: Conistock. by faithful devotion to his mission, has bocomo widely known throughout tho world. At 1I10 prosont time the boulevard win in Paris are laughing at him. Dispatches say that mo wag aro contemplating a petition to obtain an authorization to moderuizo tho Louvro and Luxembourg so as to corset and drape Vouus.

to pautalojn Apollo, etc. Tills is funny, but really honorable to Mr. Cnmatock. Tho difference between works of art aa such and peddled nudity appealing directly to 1110 lower uururo is very groat. (Joraatock has recognized thU distinction, bo far ns wo know, in very ca and the courts havo sustained him ox cept lu ono or two.

Tho Episcopal Recorder answers the laugh of Taris at A thony Comatock by romludlng her of tho French Revolution and what It eouaidors ono of its causes: Ono of theso causes, and not the least of them, was sensuality and immorality pervading all ciassos of Parisians In the Eighteenth Contury, tho outgrowth of the iri eligiou ol tho gay Capital of France. More than once we havo looked Into tho shop windows f.uly lo turu away disgusted by their opeu oxh bition of obscenity and flltliiuesa. a quarter a mile from tuoso very shops wo nave trodden the Place de la Concorde, tho scene of tho worst horrors and atrocities of tho Revolution, where flo ed iu streams tho best blood of Franco. Ir tho Presbyterian it is claimed that there is quite ns much agnostic cant as ottior. Doctrines are declared to It facts, but a choice of them is not needed iu so many words: iu thoso day is not confined to tho church.

Tl ro la far moro of it outside. One of the peculiar forms it now takes on ia to ro echo tho cheap cry against dogmas and doctrines. Many fall Into this iluo or dopreclatiou because it is tho fashion, others because they know but little of tho laws according to which tho soul of man must act. Tho Churchman seems to regard theology as aftor all Imporfect and a matter of Individual choice with onch man It Is true that has boen abused, but this eil dees not mbore in that I nee. It springs from that "ti.

lsclenco lueli so many thoologlant claim for an omniscience, which not periaiu to t1 vo theology, which is afrer all only a blurred llo.t' of God which wo sou in a gluss darkly, nn 0 1. which can bo solved only in l.eavou. Ilu an knowledge of God is but small, yet man has 1 baala suITlcloutly clear to go upon It ho set to work in ttio proper spirit, that of humility, reverence and faith. CThe Christian Register joins tho Catholic Jicview In reprobating Dr. Fultou's attack upon tho Little Slstors of the Poor among other Catholic in s'itutlons.

It says: Iudeed thoro is no dlsgraco which Fulton can inflict upou Catholicism which ia quite so bad that which must suffer from Hi 3 ad. vocaoy. Tho advertising scheme for getting his book boforo tho public by calling attention to Its most ijruriout portions is ono of tbo inoat disreputable features of tho whole uffair. The Freeman's Journal thus sacrifices its equilibrium to include Dr. McGlyun, Dr.

Fulton aud Anthony Comstock iu ono condemnation with similar alleged libelous persons not contemporary: The lecture of tho vilo mouthed Fulton was attended by about two huudrod peoj.le on Weinoa day. His book Why Should Prleats Weil? was given way with ovory ticket. It is nn obscono book. The quotations lu It are from Maria Monk, llogan, Llorento aud Dr. McGlynu.

Whoro is Anthony Comatock now? Speaking of tho memorial to Congress requiting action with a vlow to negotiations betwoen our Government and Great Brltalu for arbitration in all international difficulties, tho Independent says: Tho United States and Great Britain, neither of which liaa auy occasion to foar tho other, would pro. ent a graud and Influential Bpoctaclo 10 the 'orld by a treaty agreement that iu the ovent of disputes between them neithor would declare war agttlaat the other without submitting the matter to arbitration. The Catholic Review repudiates politics for the Popo moro strongly than Monsignor Preston duos, excepting in "tho relations of tho Holy See to the Italian Govornmont," and also reasons with the Kuieeon indulgences: Will Protestauta ever learn onough about Catholic dootrluoa to keep ttcmsolves from being ridiculous when discussing them Tbo bright and clover organ of the Prohibitionists, tho Voice, refers to indulgences as ''forma of licouao for lulqulty." The Coice evidently takes for grouted that an In dulgouco is a permission to commit sin, whoreas It touches only sin already porpotrotod and repented of Why doesn't trio Voice buy a Catholic catechism and loarn something abuut our re ligiou? Tho Christian Advocate has a very short answor to tho Manning Idea of taking tho neighbor's loaf because hungry, which It compares to taking one life in a shipwreck to maintain others: It has uo practical bearing on tho duty of men In a civilized stato. If a man were to go on spending his aub'tauco until reduced to ponuryand then had a natural right to seize his neighbors' property or if ho were to live lu idleness and had a natural right to seize the food he had not earned, tho man or whom ho attempted to seizo It would havo a natural right to shoot him dowu. Tho Christian Union is disposod to rogard the drama as no more objectionable than modorn novels: Tho argument against the modorn theater must ba bused not ou a wholesale denunciation of playa, which we are Inclined to believe have au average morality quito equal to that of tho modern novel, but on the ground either that all acting Involves artiflciallty and tonds to falsity or that it necessitates relations of tho sexes which are dangorous to purity, or that it Is In fact accompanied with incidental evils which as yet society has found no way to counteract.

The Evangelist remarks upon the prospects of civilization iu Alexico as couuoctod with bull fighting, which is now tho subject of a monster petition to the government to stop it: Coincident with tho rise of Protestant Influonco In Mexico la the effort to do away with somo of tho barbarous custona of this country. Mere forma aud penances are all of religion that this people havo been permitted to know, nnd thoso have had no power to uplift thorn. Probably nowhere in the world has a form of roligiou without its power" been eo prevalent as in Alexico. But a better day la dawning even there. For several years one of the Nashville Penitentiary convicts has employed odd moments In making a largo frame for cablnot photographs.

It is mado of beautifully carved wood and only with the aid of a pockot knife.

"Aro you familiar with thoso localities?" I asked. "Perfor.tly," he replied.

"More so than on tho Heights, where to many chances havo occurred, and by the way," he continued, lighting a new cigar and looking outside at his horse and buggy, with the top half drawn, that stood boforo the dour, "In what pleaaantor way could a holiday afternoon be passed than in driving over these deteriorated neighborhoods and taking a glimpse of their inner life (In 1850 55) when they were the homes of the bo called aristocracy "Agreed," 1 replied, brightening at the proposal, as wo both now arose and walked out of the room toward tho sidewalk.

MISS SIC GIVNET'S RECEPTION.

The residence of Air. and Airs. Thomas McGlvnoy, on Church aveuue. West Flatbush, was the scene of a gay and festire gathering on Tuesday evening last, the occasion being the third reception glvon by Allss Mamie McGivney aud the members of tho Arlon Social, of Flatbush.

Roth, Miss Mamie Bowon, Miss Mary Ken ao Clinton street, whore, on the south side, extending nearly to Court street, are number of houses, nearly all of which are now altered for business purposes.

These houses, built on tho Patchen estate, were one occupied by Edward Gould, lumber merchant, In Now Y'ork; Samuel Barbor. tea merchant, 79 Water stroot, New York; Jacob Rappelro, who afierward removed to tho corner of Columbia and Piorropont streets; J. V. Spader, lumbor merchant in this city; J. M.

Woodward, shipping agont, 71 Exchange, Now York. On the cornor (where the marble Savings Bank now stands) was the elegant residence, with greenhouse, stable aud grouuds, belonging to B. Lamar. It was a pretty sight of an afternoon to seo the children, each mounted on a pony, riding down ou the old Coney Island road. Mr.

Lamar was the president of the Bank of tho Ropubllc, on Wall street. His life was an eventful one. The family, who returned to the South shortly prior to the war, were from Savannah, Ga. In ear'ler life an entire family, savo a son, wero lost at sea In coming from Savannah to Now York. Of the second family the eldest of several daughters married a French nobleman and now reside! at Brussels, France.

After the surrender of General Lee in Virginia, the youngest soa, standing boforo a bridgo, declared that a Union Regiment should not cross. Whereupon tho colonel drew a revolver and shot him dead. Aftor the war Mr. Lamar recovered $600,000 from the Government for cotton confiscated. He died a few year3 ago at the hoii3e of his eldest son, who practices law In New York, and where the remaining children now reside.

Returning to Henry strait, between Atlantic avenue ard Pacific street (east side), are three brick uow with stores uuderueath. They were erected by Iamo3 H. Watson, a lumber merchant who live! In the first one; the next was the residence of Dr. Turner. The corner of Pmlflc stroot, with the green home, was the residence of Daniel Richards, who afterward moved to Remsen street.

The Long Island College Hospital was mado from the resldonco of Joseph It. Perry, president of Greenwood Cemetery, who removed to Bay Ridge. Adjoining tho hospital wall on Paclllc street throe high brick houses were the residences or James L. Varlck, pork merchant, 100 Front streot, New York; William Patrick, of Walsh Patrick who had houses at New Y'ork, Mobilo and Liverpool, and O. W.

I'ollltz, wine morchant, at 1 Beaver street, New York, who owued a beautiful country seat at Smith town, I. 1. Not far away was the residence of Peter Donnelly, a tailor, at 8 Old slip. New York, whoso son was concerned in the famous Soa View House tragedy on August 1, 1857. At the Sea View House at Navesink, N.

then the height of thesoa Bon, woro contained 130 boarders, James P. Donnelly. 26 years old, was employed as bookkeeper. Tho bartender was an elderly man named Moses. Theso men sat up late one night playing cards, Donnelly losing t50 belonging to one of tho guests, which had been left at tho ofliee for safo keeping.

Knowing that detectlou must soon follow ho determined to recover the money. Waiting until his victim had rotlred ho entered his room, awakening Moses, who Jumped from tho bed, was stabbed and ran through the hall, alarming the guests. Ho died the next day. Donnolly was arrested aud taken to Froohold, twenty two miles distant, whero ho was tried and oxecuted. Shortly aftor the murder and before the execution the Sea View Uouso was burned to the ground.

Tho origin of tho flro was always a mystery. As wo approached Hicks street, Just below Atlantic avenue, my companion sail: "Hore is a tenement house with columns, with a Junk shop in the cellar. This was the oarly residence of Joseph II. Perry, before ho romovod to his house on the hospital grouuds. Opposite the hospital, on Amity street, stands a onco beautiful row of brown stono homes.

Thoy were built, in 1855, by Potor O'Hura, a marble merchant, and owhod by him until his death. Iu their interior finish they excelled anything now on the Holghts. Thoy then formed a pretty slght.with evergreen wreaths hung in tho parlor windows. Y'et their nearness to 'Egypt' and, also, the opening of tho hospital detracted from their charms. Tholr first oeeupauts woro Edward Anthony, the Broadway phr togaphor; Adolph Schmlewlnd.

dry goods merchant, 93 Llborty street, Now Y'ork; Lewis Grossman, importer, 49 Broad street, Now Y'ork; Adolph C. Tamsen and Mr6. Waltely. The high brown stone residence at tho corner (HIcIib and Amity), now a barroom, was built by J. G.

Gottsberger, a woalthy browor, who lived there until his death. Every day in olegaut coach and black horses were seen leaving tho door. After the death of the ownor many thought the house to bo haunted, when It was Anally learned that a mischievous occupant would at night array himself in a white shoot and, with a candlo in hand, appoar at a certain window. But lot us drive along. On Congress stroot, above Hicks, both sides indicate a once favorite locality.

Tho yellow trout brick hotisos (south side) have long since boon converted Into St, Potor's Roman Catholic Hospital. In this neighborhood once lived Charles Kolsoy, who removed to Strong place and subsequently to Fifth avonue, New York, whero he died; George Newell, commission merchant on South street, New Y'ork; F. D. Tappan, president of tho Gallatin Bauk on Wall street; P. De Lussan, importer of fancy goods at 57 John stroot.

Now Y'ork, father of Miss De Lussan, of the Boston Ideal Opera troupe; William A. Dusenbury, tin merchant, 07 Broad street, Now York; Hannibal D. Ormshee, hardware, 49 Broadway; Cornelius Heenoy, a partnor of John Jacob Astor, who lavishly dispensed his means n.nong tho poor. On Christmas day ho would present tho poor children each with a cako aud a piece of silver. He died a bachelor, at age of 94.

The yellow houso on tho corner, with an ontrance ou either street, has been occupied by Alderman Mulligan. James Freel, agent for Cornelius Heenoy; John Loughlin and Mr. Morgan, an English merchant." Passing here one afternoon and seeing a beautiful child sitting in tho bay window recalled a sad tncidout: Many years ago a daughter became ougagod to a young Gorman. His health was poor and early one Summer ho started for his father's house iu Germany, expecting to return In tho Autumn. His health steadily failed, lie arrived home Just lu time to die.

Letters from tho chateau brought over tho Bad tidings of his death. Years passed. The daughter married a sea captain with whom she sailed for Denmark. They had two sons who grow to be bright, promising youths. One emigrated to America and came to this city, whero ho found employment, falliDg Bick he was Beut to St.

Peter's Hospital, whore last Summer he died on the spot of his mother's early romance. "It would be impossible to muko Hicks street a once aristocratic locality," romarked mycompanlon, as we drove rapidly along, pointing out amoug tho rows of houses on alternate blocks now devoted to lodgers and llquora the former homes of Alexander Hull, fancy goods, 40 Warren street, New York; Joseph Merwln, India rubber, 35 Maiden, lane, New York; Francis Hensley, lacen, Broadway, New Y'ork; David Hill, wines, 10 Broadway, New York; Charles F. Joy, straw goodB, 12 Cortland street, Now York; Georgo Conkllng, who kept a large hosiery store, and William Allon a fruit store, both on Atlantic streot; Thomas Abbott, restaurant keeper on Beaver streot. Now York; Edmund G. Shoppard, Importer of cigars, 10 Front streot, New York; Charles Horner, (John Scrymsor wholesale grocer ou Front street, Now York; James Whitney, commission mercha nt at 4 South street, New York, and Marquis D.

Mac re, a builder. At Harrison street rows of brick houses, that not military honorB. Five thousand persons attended tho services. Throe doors bolow was the Treimine residence. Many citizens will recall tho coucorts glvon by the Tremalno family at the Brooklyn Athenoum, whero the songs, 'Oh Speed My Bark," Down the Burn Davy Tho Rale Ould Irish Glntloman' and the Sloigh Ride' wore sung to delighted audi encos.

Miss Laura E. Tremalnu Is now tho wife of Paymaster Billings, United States Navy, and Miss Nettle Tremalno is now Mrs. Commodore Chester, United States Navy." Driving again into Hicks streot, wo stop on tho corner of Sackett, where my attention was drawn to five marble front housoB with low stoops and yards in front, Thoso," said my companion, wero beautiful nouses when first finished In 1854. Tho yards look desertod, while some of the bouses bear the notice "Floors to Lot' The corner house has been turned inte a liquor store. I have often seen a sleigh standing before ono of these doors of a moonlight night waiting to take a morry party out on tho Flat bush road.

Among those who once lived here were iBaac K. Moulton, Soa Captalu R. Creasey. J. Stolmau, William G.

Lankraan, a weigher, aud Dr. Charles Valentiuy, a favorite physician in South Brooklyn." The white marble front houses on President streot, First, Second and Third places were erected by Mr. Warren Boaman, a woalthy capitalist. The new marble quarries In Vermont, then attracting considerable attention, enabled the builder to think that from the white matorlul he could build attractive housos. Yet in the undertaking hi3 entire means were lost.

A few years later he began real estato operations In New Y'ork, where he now ro sides, a millionaire. A block more brought us to Union streot, corner of Hicks, whero we rost on tho woodon pavomout. Here," said my friend, looking up aud pointldg to a half dozen brown stouo fronts on the north sido, were the residences of Jacob Crummle, who completed this and tho marblo row on Sackott street, and who ownod a flue county Boat at Glen Cove, L. I. Major Bnrtlott, who kept tho Washington Hotel, at 1 Broadway, Now York; Lieutenant Gibson, United States Navy; Captain Mayo, who ownod a flue team of road horses, a bay and sorrel, and Mr.

Dickey, agent for Daniel Drew. His wife still resides in tho house. Across the way, on the south a similar row of painted brick housos woro the houses of O. Hoiden, agent, 19 Wall street; Zobodoo Mayhew, commission merchant, 31 South Btreet, New Y'ork; Mr. Delaplaiue, a speculator, who did much iu building up South Brooklyn around the basin.

Tho upper brick house, painted brown, that adjoins the vacant lot, is tho last ot tho row. It is historic. Thero lived tho mother of John Mltchel, the Irish patriot. Mitobol, after his escape from Van Dio mnu's Land, whero be was Bontonced to fourteen years' penal servitude, arrived, finally, with his family, on the Promothous, In New York, November 29, 1S53, aud was drivon Immediately to tho rosl donco of his inothor, over hore. An immouse demonstration took plnce In the ovonlng, tho crowds filling tho street and that lot that adjoins tho houso.

Mitchol and Thomas Francis Meaghor both mndo add. osses from that stoop. During tho war Mitchol went South ami was the editor of tho Richmond Enquirer. Meaghor fought bravely at the lioad of tho Irish Brigade. Both have since died, tho former at Dromaue, Ireland, tho latter by falling overboard from a steamship in tho Pacific Ocean.

His general conclusion is that any 3ouso excitation has for result an increase of tho aouleuess of other senBos. Thus, sensations of hearing ehnrpon the visual perceptions. If colored plates aro placed at such a distance that ono can hardly distinguish the colors, and various sounds are then produced, tho colors become generally more distinct tho higher tho soundB. Similarly, ono can, while a sound affects the ear, read words which ono could not read before. Again, tho licking of a watch is bettor hoard when the eyes are open than when they aro closod.

Rod and green incroaso auditive perceptions; but bluo and yellow weaken thorn. Several musicians, however, were agrood that red, green, yollow aud bluo caused an Intensification of sound about one eighth, while vlolot had a weakening effect. Taste, smell and touch are under like lawB. Light and rod and green color Increase their delicacy, while darkness, blue and yellow ditnlu lsh It. "Under the influence of red and green, taste extends from the anterior border of the tongue to the whole surface.

On tho other hand, a strengthening of email, taste or touch exalts the other sensitive perceptions. Specially Interesting Is the reciprocal influence of touch and tbo sense of temperature. If oue tickle the skin with a hair and plunge the hand In hot water the tinkling sensation ceases; on tho contrary, if the hand be placed in cold water aud a part ot the body tickled the temperature is felt more vividly. Horr Urbanschltsch finds In this reciprocal action an explanation of supposed double consecutivo sensations on excitation of ono sense. Mature.

The cultivation of oysters in Franco appears to havo greatly Increased of lato. Thus, while in 1885 the number exported was 30,000,000, 35,000,000 havo been oxportod In tho first eight months of 1887 (twice as much as in the corresponding part of 1886), and the total for the year will probably be about 53,000,000. At the same time the Importation Into France from Portugal has been declining. Thus, from 154,647 kilogrammes In 1883, it had fallen to 1,500 kilogrammes In 1885, and no figures are forthcoming for the first eight month of 1887. Aliss M.
