THE DRIVES AND PARKS OF CHICAGO. Bix yonrs ago Tue Trinune called attention to tho fact that, with a littlo good tasto and ontor- prise, Chicago could bo made the most agrecablo and comfortable place of summor-rosidence on thisContinent. Wo then pointed out some of the fmprovements that woro neceesary in order to mako tho natural advantages of tho city and ita surroundings available for the pleasure and health of our owa people, as woll ag of the in- ereasing numbors who flook hero every summer to xesido, Despito tho great intorruption of the fire, and the overwhelming losses of proporty and In- comoa thint it inflictod, Chicngo has gone on in hor system of improvoments, and to-day prosents to the visitor an oxtont of residenco-comforts that cannot Lo found in any other city in this coun- try ; and yot the systom is but partlally accom- pliehed, The visitor to Chicago finds hore hotols greator in numbor, finor tn architectural comforts and oppointmonts, moro olegantly furnishod snd heolthfully situated, than in othor citios; he will find in Chicsgo the best supplied marlot in tho country. Conncoted by rail and,wator with ovory pert of the United Btates, it ro- coives hero for tlis uso of its residents overy articlo of food—flesh, flsh, vogotable, and fruit—that is produced in any climato. The great upper lakos and their {tributaries furnish us, twicon day, with the cholcost variotics of fish, Mobile, Snvanuah, and Now Orleans daily supply us with tho vogatables and frults of tho troples. Californin poara into Chicago daily hor wonderful products—wino, grapes, and every varioty of fruit. Opposite Chicago, in Michigan, ig, porhaps, tho finest garden in tho Northern Btates, embracing poaches, apploes, and other orchard-fruits, There is'no produot of the field, forest, rivor, or ocosn that tho most luxurious tasto can desire that is not to bo had in Chicago, But wo more particularly dosivo to-day to congratulate the public upon what has been done in tho way of improvement of tho stroets and highways, aud in tho erection of parks and suburban drives. In tho flrat place, there are somo sixty miles of paved streots loading from the contral portions of tho city in all directions to tho oxtorior limits. Tha system of suburban drives boging on tho south at Thirty-Afth stroct, in 40 parallol roadways about Linif & milo apart, running thencesouth a mile and s half, to the first seetion of the South Park. This contains 400 neres, laid off in broad drives. Thonco thore I8 another boulovard, oxtending to the lake shoro, nlong which, to Bouth Chicago, will bo o broad roadway for soveral miles, From the northern or iwestern division of the park noothor boulevard will extend to the onst- ern division of tho park—tho two sections of the park and the soveral conuoeting ronds embracing noarly 1,000 scros of land, From this sorios of drives and parks =« grand boulevard is to oxtend weatwardly four miles, theuce northwardly on tho westorn limits of tho city, nnd througha aerios of parks embracing 1,200 acres of land, for a distanco of cight miles, thenco oast five miles to the lako shoro at Lincoln Park, at which point thoroe is already completed a drive of soveral miles along the border of tho lake. This whole series of drives, whoen comploted, will fur- nish nearly 25 miles of coatinuous boulovard, not including oithior of tho drives along tha lake- ehore, nor tho miles of roadway in tho numerous Borios of extonsive parks. Of theso drives thoro aro already comploted in the South Division tivo miles of boulevard, and beforo the end of tho presont season this will bo extouded through the whole South Park and aloug the Inke-shore, giviug an extent of drive which, for boauty and goneral attrnctivencss, is not surpassed or equaled by auything of the kindin any city of the country. Tho boulovards thomselves, independent of their nsociation with the parks, are without precodont in this country. A foadway 300 foot wide, fully planted, bard-rolled, freo of dust, and oxtonding six to ten milos, I8 somothing that is not to bo found or enjoyed outsido of Chieago ; and whon this system®is further car- ried out, aud includes 25 miles of simi- 1ar roadway, passing through no less than six spacious parks, Chicago will present an attrac- tion and & moans of enjoymont such as tho natu- ral advantagos of no other city will pormit, It must of necessity bo peculiar to this city, It cannot be imitated even, with any dogree of suc- cess, nnud, oven if it bo attomptod, there is no ronson why the Chicago system of parks and boulovarda may not be extondod indefinitely. ‘The scones already witnessed on tho six miles of boulovard alrendy completed give promise of what they will bo horeaftor. Veliclos of ovory kind, in linos each milos long, traveling at all rates of speed, moying to and fro, presont to tho ©yo & panorama of rara attractivenoss. Btrane gors from Now York and othor citics visiting those boulovards diecovor Liow small, contractoed, and limited aro tho onjoyments and atiractions of Uontra] Park, when compared with oven tho small proportion of tha Chicago syatem of drives and parky that is now comploted. Ton yonrs nouco this systom of drives and parks will bo known in all parta of the world ne another of tho many wondora of this wondorful Oity of Chieago, ‘I'heuo boulovards and parka have progressod far enough to fudicete tho direction in which the futuro costly rosldences of Chicago will probebly tend. Already tho grand boulovards in tho Houth Division aro belng improved with oostly bulldings, and it is not unroasonable to agauno that a fow yoars more will soo thom built up on bhoth widos to tho ontrance of the park, Lho proporty botween tho two boulovards, sud connected with them by broad avenues, will also bo filled up by similar residonces, aund it is not et all unlikely that, in time, ono or mors grand hotols will find that & proper locality for cutorlainmont of realdont and visiting guests, In the other divisions of the olty these drives and parke THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, JULY 20, 1873. omigo ln thet, slong thls grand onclrcllng, brond, and bosutifiod highway, with,_its varloua parks, will in duo timo bo found the rostdonces— tho costly homes and grounds—of tha future wealth aud fashion of this groat metropolis, ———— THE POLIOE QUARREL. ‘Tho offico of tho Board of Polico Commission- ors was tho soone, Friday, of anothor of tho dis- gracoful squabblos that Linve marked tho polico troubles, Mr. Mark Bhorldan appoars to have beon tho prime movor in tho controversy, as he Is opt to bo. Tho immediato ocossion of the quadrilatoral disputo, In which Bhoridan, his two follow-mombers of tho Doard, and Supt. Washburn wore mainly engnged, was the susponsion of a polico officer by Commisslonor Bheridan, Tho only color of authority which Sheridan had for this individual action was the practico of tho old Board, in whose dayit was not msual for moro than ono Commissionor to bo on duty at s timo. It'was then customary for any one of tho Commisgjon- ors to act for the wholo Doard and tomporarily suspond a policoman, Tho now Board has novor recognizod - this practice, howevor, which is in violation of the law requiring that suspensions shall bo mado only upon writton charges. Ace cordingly, whon thesuspension of Officer Trainor wag reporiod to Bupt. Washbutn, tho Iat- tor immodiatoly restorod tho suspended policemen, This led to tho oxplosion which fol- lowed fin tho Board. Whon Supt. Wasgh- bum communicated what he had donmo, Mr. Bhoridan said that Lis conduct was ine solont and ungentlomanly, ‘Cheroupon Bupt. ‘Washburn is ropresented to havo reached for an inkstand with the ovidont purpose of throwing it at Mr. Shoridnn's head; but ho seomed to. think bottor of it, and roturnod tho inkstand to its customary place and legitimate function, Btill, Mr. Washburn {8 roported to bave flung opithots, wuich aroe quite as disgrace- ful though not so dangorous as tho flinging of an inkstaud. Ar, Shoridan neoused the Buporintendont of not attending to his du~ ties moro than half the time, and Mr. Washburn then repliod, s ho is roported, that Mr, Blori- don wos “ o liar ;" that his nome “ was Wash- burn,” ond that Mr. Sheridan * could find bim whonover ho ploased ;” and, finally, that Mr, Bloridan was ¢ o dirty dog.” Mr, Shoridan's as- socintes in tho Board soomed to conetir in Ar; ‘Washburn's sontimonts, though thoy did not re- peat his oxnct Innguago, Thero was some more heated discussion, in which oaths woro freoly in- torsporsed, and then Mr. Sheridan stalked oft in pureuit of tho Mayor, closoly follov.od by ‘Washburn, Mason, Wright, and the roporters. Mr. Shoridan domanded the immediate suspen- sion of the Buporintondent, but, when tho Mayor informod him that thia could not tako placo un- less chargos wero proforred in writing, the ox- citod Commissioner assumed that the Mayor was down on him, that tho press was down on him, aud that ovorybody was down on him. Sheridan mndo loose assortions which the Mayor cut short by saying that, if Mr. Sheridan came thers to in- sult him, Lo dosired to Lnvo no further cotivoréa- tionwith him, Tho rosult of thoday's proceedings was that Mr. Shoridan wrote out a chargo agninst the Buporintondout, embodying the langusgo which Mr. Washburn had used, and demanding his suspension from offica, o -make confusion worso confounded, the sunouncement was made that Mr, Mason, tho Prosident of the Bonrd, had plnced his rosiguation®in the hands of tho Mayor last Tucsday. It is only just to.Mr. Mason, however, to esy that this action was not prompt- od by the unhappy condition of polico affairs, but for family and business rensons, " Enough has been stated of thoe incidents of Fridey's sossion to convinco ovorybody thot it was a disgrace to the city. Bheridan'a place on the Board hes given him the opporfunity to ombarrase the administration of the Polico Dopartmont, though- ho hns not bod the powor to run it for the boneflt of his porsonal favorites, His election prior to the adoption of tho new Constitution of tho Stato placed him boyond tho removing powor of tho Mayor, under tho act of the Logislature known es tho Mayor's Bill. 'Tho Constitution provides thiat all poruons holding offico at the timo it wout into offect “shall continue in tho ex- ereiso of tho dutios thorcof, according to their respective commissions or appointmonts, unless by this Constitution it is othorwiso difooted.” Mr, Bheridan can bo doposed by im- peachment before the Courts; but, conscious that tho trouble, delny, and litigetion incident to this course would probably dotor the Mayor from adopting it, oxcopt in & groat emergency, Mr. Bhoridan haa coustituted himsolt tho stum- bling-block in all efforts to regulate the polico affairs of the city in such a manner as to sccure harmonious and efficiont sorvice. The history of Mark Sheridan’s official mischiof- making does bot, however, justify or excuse the conduct of Bupt. Washburn on Friday last. Tho langungo Lo used was unbecoming at all timos, but especially objectionsble at o session of the Board, aud as addressed to a mombor of 'tho Board. Mr, Sheridsn was probably very esasperating, but Bupt. Washbumn did mnot increnso the publio confidence in his qualifications for Obief of Polico by yicld~ ing to the ovident purpose of ‘oxciting him, and by conducting himsolf in & mnnner caleulated to bring about a porsonal conflick botweou a Commissioner and himsolf. Ile should not havo contributed anything to the disgraco of tho sit- untion. It was disgracoful enough without his co-operation. Tho opprobrium thus cast upon tho polico administration of the city is not the worst fonturo of the continuous broil in the Boerd of Polico Commissionors, Tho offect upon tho polico force is thoroughly demoralizing, The working mombors do not fail to divide themsolves jnto parlisan factions, in which they talco considerably more intorest than in the wol- faro of tho oity. ‘I'ho reputation of tho city for o divided and Inefiicient Police Departmont yill quickly spread abroad, and offer a spoolnl attrac- tion for thioves, roughs, and tha dangorous olasson genorally. Lvery scona liko $hat of Fri- day contributes largely to this rosult. Arabla formany yoars Las failed to occupy any very importaut position In the world's af- faira, Boyoud itu flost-footed Lorkos, and Mr, Longfollow's assortion that its inhabitants are fu tho Lubit of folding up their tents and silont- ly stealing away, tho country has beon as quict and unoventful ag the Pyramids or the Sphynx, Now, howovor, thero is a spock of oxcitement in tho Wahaboo Empire of Nojod, which may bring the wholo country into prominence, I'ho old Bultan of this Empire, who dled rocontly, had fwo sons, Abdallah and Bacod, Abdallal, who hus nlways been ab tho lead of tho army, {8 » man of conaldorablo capac- fty—a quality which his brothor Las nover shown until throe years ago, It has turnoed out that the weaker brothor In 1870 got the advane. tho aid of tho Tarks, who grantad him assistanco, by which ha succoodod {n gotting possossion of tho Provineo of Insa on tho wost const of the Porsinn Gulf. Tho samo Abdallah is now in Constantinople to sollolt aid with & view to tho aubjootion of tho whole Empire of Nejed, and the establishmont of Ottoman suzorainty in that country. Bhould the aid bo grantad, tho contest will bo a dosporato one, as the Walinboos regard Abdallsh a8 o ronegedo from his country nund ro- liglon, and will fight with all tho zonl of roliglous fanatics, —e CHURCH PROGREDS, The rapid progress of mon and mannora is no- whero more clearly shown than in tho innova- tions upon the old style of church sorvices, In the daya of Cotton Mathor, and oven within the momory of tha roadors of theso linos, the rulos of tho Babbath nond tho routino of ohurch ser- vico woro vory sharply dofined. It was im- posible for the wayfaring man, oven though he woro a fool, to orx in rogard to thom, and any violation of them met with swift robuko and still ewiftor ponalty. Thore are still romoto | rural villages, many miles distant from railrond and tolograph, among the Now England hills, whoro the old style is yot obsoryed snd tho Sab- bath sorvicos aro as grim and ss rigld ns waa old Praiso-God Barobones in Covenanter daysj whore tho nowost stylo of hat and redingote lLas mnot yot made iia appoarance and probably nover will, and tho womon still go in poke bonnets and listen to the iron-bound doctrines of forcordination and in- fant damnation and the tricks and wiles of tho Bcarlot Woman ; whera they still carry carda~ mon and carraway, lost thoy should nod in the middle of the sormon ; and whoro the blinds are shut all day and the lights are put out at 0 o'clock. But theso nro rare snd oxcoptional casos, Tho groat body of tho Ohureh of all do- nominations has moved forward with tho gen- eral .advancoment of tho world, and innovation follows innovation in rapid succession. Tho growth of liberal idoas, tho discoveries, and tho- orios, and facts of ecienco, and tho tendoncy of mon to thinle for themsolves, rather than to roly upon the weekly seimon for their oxolusivo atook of spiritual 1dens, hnve pushod the Church forward so rapidly, that it now hardly Ings in the great race of progress. Itis but & short timo sinco that we chronicled tho Institution of & praise servico in ono of the Congrogational churches of this city, in which' the minister voluntarily omittod tho customary sormon, and allowed the choir to do the oxhor- tation, and appeal, and enunciation of doctrine, through tho medin of chant and anthem end organ golos. Think of a minister, a quarter of o contury ago ovon, omitting n sermon! Tho wrath of the Gonoral Convention would have smitton him liko a thundorbolt. In Cotton Mathor's day he would have beon bou- ighod and oxcommunicated, and, possibly, might havo oramonted a gallows-treo on Witch Hill. But wo can go even furthor | than this, In one of tho Mothodist churches of this city, praise servicos aro a regular monthly foaturo, and the mueic is furnishod by a cabinot- organ and two corneta! Two unsanctified cor- nots!” Two ebrill, worldly, soarling cornots, which are enough to make John Wosloy and the old fathers of the Church turn ovor in their graves! If guch things can bo done intho Methodist Church, why may wo not expect all sorts of Instruments, fiddles, flutes, harmoni- cons, aud jewsharps in other loss conservative Churches ? Tho Roman Catholics, wha lLave always had tho good mouso to give their gorvicos an attrabtive form, very gon- orally employ orchostral “music, especially on all their festival daya, Tho organ goloa in the Congregationsl and the cornots in the Mothodist show that tho Protestant Church is slowly coming over to this stylo of music, It bas only to get over tho difiiculty of tho fiddle, thnt instrumont of the ungedly bronkdown and irroveront cotillion, and thon in thoy will all como, big fiddlo and little fiddle, trombono and trumpot, flute and flageolet, ophicleido and bass drum, and ovon the sopulchral bassoon and may- hap tho sportive horn, At Nowport, music by a brass baud 8 already ono of the attractions to ontico tho faghionable sinners to the church. John Woesloy novor said. a truer thing than that the Dovil should not havo all tho good music. If tho choson people of tho Lord in David's day could praise Him with horns and trumpots, eackbuts, psaltorys, dulcimers, aud harps, why should not tho chosen of the Lord to-dsy, whon we havo better music and botter instruments, praise Him in like manner? Cor- tainly no musio is too good for the Lord. This chengo is furthor manifosted by tho progross " which Las boon mado from tho ponny-royal sing- ing of anciont daya. to the quartetto singing of tho prosont, performed by singers who Luow how to sing, and who are hired for that purpose, Anincldent in Olio, the othor day, also shows progress. In tho old days, tho ministor was called of the Lord to go to a cortain place, and he wont thero, rogardloss of salaries up in the thousands, summer vacations, or rich porqui- sites, A church in Avondale nnd another in Bpringfield had their eyos upon tho samo clorgymen. The Springfield church made tho roverond gontloman an offer which lio waa disposed to mccapt, wheroupon the Avon- dalians wont thom 9200 bottor, and tho olérgy- man fnclined toward Avondale. The Springfield’] peoplo saw them and wont 250 better. Thustho gomo went on for a time, until at last ono of tho partios, bucoming rockless, wont $500 hottor, and tho clergyman was onlled. What would haye beon thought of such a quict game of pokor as this a fow yoara ago? 1t all theso things happon now which did not happon fifty yoars ago, what will happon fifty yoars honco? And should this issuo of Tum ‘TrinuNe bappen to bo prosorved until 1078, whiat will the journalist of that day say In commont~ ing upon our mauner of observing tho Sabbath? Will he smtloat us a8 wo now amile at Cotton Mathor ? Tho Nussian auccess In Khiva has led to tho reloasie of 10,000 more Persians who have boen Liold as slaves in that conntry, It is to b hoped that they will faro bolter than thoeir fellows who woro similarly roleasod from slavory in Tur- kostan by tho Russlans, Soveral hundrod of thom wore recontly sout to Astrakhan after thoy had been working for tho Russian Governmont sndsavedalittlomoney. In ordor to guardagainst swindling, the Russian Governmont advised tho Persian Cousul to got o list'of tho namos, and tho amounts duo cach porson, #o that the money might bo transmitted through him. This was agroed to, and the Persian Consul received tho monoy. But ho kopt it for himself, Whon the TPeralang, who had beon orowded together in one vousel, rofusod to wall until they had recolved thoir money, he threatened to tolegraph to ‘Tolioran that thoy intondoed to bocomo Russian Induclng thom to mafl withont tholr monoy.

In 1868, ho was appointod Curo of the Parich of Hornialdo. As a student, Le lod a quict, blameless, oven austero, lifo, but. during lis studont days, ho had studied the bis- tory of Zumalacarrogny, the fomous Corlist champlon in formor wars, of tho friars of Bara- gossa,’ and tho valiant deods of the Ouro of Merino, and these bad such an offeot upon him that, when tho aitompt was mado in favor of Don Carlos in 1870, ho dotormined that it was Lis duty to tako arms both in defence of roligion and ‘of logitimate monarchy ngainst tho onomles of. ‘both. Aftor & long dolibor- stion in Paris, it was dotormined that tho proclamation of Don Carlos as King of Spaln should bo mnde simultancously in tho' four northorn provinces, Navarrey Guipuzcos, Bla-‘ cay, and Alava, in each of which depots of arms wore ostablished. Bauts Oruz voluntcorod to care for & stand of arms in tho village of Hor- nialde ; but & young woman i{nformed tho Al- caldo where they woro hidden and who had chargo of thom. Orders woro givon for his orroat, and, altbough tho soldiors surpriscd him in his own house, ho maunaged, by an adroit manmuvro, to oscape thom, For tho noxt twolve months ho wandered smong tho mountaing, holding frequent in- torviows with tho Carlist chiofs, rousing the apathotio, collooting monoy, and otherwiso work- iug for tho causo. Ho was denounced to the Madrid Govornmont as one of the most danger- ous mon in Spawn, and police and spies wore con- stantly upon his track. At Ban Jean do Luz ho was fnally arrosted by two gendarmos, by whom he was conducted to tho cltadel of Bayonno, snd thenco sont on undar oscort to Nantes. Bcarcely Lad Don Carlos mado his second appoal to the Spanish peoplo, in 1872, when ho once more ap~ peared in the mountains as chaplain of about 400 Guipuzcoans, commanded by ono Recindo. Tho disnstrous combats of Ounate nud Ma~ paris, aud tho Convention of Amoroviots, ruined tho Carlist attompt, ond Santa Cruz es- eaped into Franco ; but, kuiowing that the strug- glo was still carsied on, ho roturned to Bpain, sud, a8 boforo, proficred his sorvices as chap- lain. In ono of tho Carlist forays Bantn Cruz was cut off from tho party to which he was at- tached, aud mado prisoner. Ho was at onco condomned to death, aud was locked up ina room in tho uppor part of o houso, which was guarded. The nows spread like wildflre, aud Senta Cruz soon found that ho was among frionds. Tho tired soldiors slept ou thoir guard, and, whilo they wore slooping, ho lot himsolf Qown from the windGw by means of o ropo made of his shoots, and found himsolf among his frionds. Holf an hour afterwarda tho Sorgoant of tho guard discovered that his prisoner had cscapod. Every houso in the mnolghborhood was searchod, and the country was scourod for milos, but without avail. Banta Cruz had all this timo boen in o swamp, covored over with reeds and bulrushes, up to the nock in wator. ‘Whon the coast was cloar he omorged from hisun- ploasant bath, and quictly meadoe his way soross the frontier totho Villageof Cambo, in the DBasquo country, Onthe 1st of Docombor ho suddonlydieappeared, and, while the Government polica wero watching for him in Dayonno and Ban Jean do Luz, ho appoared in Guipuzcoa, preaching tho holy war. Ho wont from town to town and from houso to house, encouraging and exhorting, and harangued the pooplo in thoir churchos. Ho throw off tho cassook, and, put< tlog himsoelf at tho hoad of 600 mon, commenced stopping traing and lavying contributions, Io soon had a compact and well-drilled band, organ- izod, armed, and equipped out of rosourcea raised by himself in France and Spain.

A OATENA OF DUDDIIST SORIPTURES, FROM A CHINESE, Dy BAMUEL BEAL, & Ohaplain_in ifor Mojesty's Floot; author of *Buddhlst Pil- grlmn,” &.” Loudon: Trucbuor &Co. Pp. 43, oo o, o Tho ultimate tendency of Lhuman ordinances, whether as civil atatutos or religious canons, is todofont the objoots for which they wore do- vised, and obscure tho principles they wore in- tonded to maintain. In the light of what wo call the “ progressiva spirit of the prosont age,” this may soom like a sweoping, oxtravagant, or even o cynicel judgmont; but tho long resul of timo, the slow building-up, ago after ago, of vaat structures of oivil and religious polity, that sooner or later crumble down in somo revolution of thought or ovorturning of society, prove it to bo truo. Nothing illustrates this better than tho riso of Buddhism, its gradual concrotion into tho vory spirit of Brabmanism, from which it was a ronction, and the crumbling away of the maze of ritos which is ovon now boginning in tho botter undoratanding which modern scholars are ‘ac~ quiring of tho humane, simplo, and sublimo foundations upon which it arose. In its Tovolt againat tho ritualism and dogma- tism of DBrabmanism, Buddhism Lins beon aptly styled tho “Protestantism of the nst;" butag Anglicanism, Calvinism, and evon tho moro lib- cral Wesloylsm, have gradually puton some- thing of the dogmatio garb of.Romanism, from which thoy revolted, so Duddhism, hag put on tho ritualism of Brahmanism, against which it protosted, Buddhism was tho roctification of the faith of man ns against the aAcondenoy of wealth, power, aud tom- poral splondor, the rofuge of tho downoast after ages of intellectual oppression, a rovolt sgainst tho priosteraft of the oreod that, pro- coding it, Liad been built up on tho simplo faith of tho Vodns. Tho ongrossing thoughts of primitive Buddhism woro the vanity of all finito things, and tho pricolesa rofuge from all the judgments of humanity and the mutations of timo in an otornal rent, What must have beon tho exporionce of races who could turn at last to such a congolation ag the only hope? But, in the struggle to attain poaco, the human ‘mind seems ever to ropoat its slow climbing on theoretlo Towors of Babol, it culminations and ita renctions to tho dopths of doubt and confu slon, and then to begin to build again, upon the broad, solid plane of consciousncss that we sro ondowed with & spirit that evor aspires to the knowlodge of what comos aftor death. ‘The primitive doctriuca of Buddhism wore fow &nd simple, and as sad as the experience of humanity iteclf, ‘Thoy aro : Tiral—All oxistonce in Time i@ evil, becauso all such oxistence i3 subject to change and dacay. Second—Tha sourco of misory is tho desirs for, or attachment to, things which change aud pass away. . Third—In tho extinction of desire for such things, thore is au escape from sorrow into the otornal rost of Nirvana. Bimplo and completo in themselves as thoso doctrines seom, Mr. Beal's book shows us that tho proponsity of tho human inind to dogmatizo, to doflno, and doscend iuto tho minutest dotails, providing & rule for ovary pousiblo contingenoy, Ling gradunlly elaborated, out of these three doce trinos, a canonical aud ritunl systom 8o vast that, rigld conformily ta it could scarcoly fail to orush tho mind of tho devoteo into fnbecility, if Nuttire did not robel and shalo oft the incubus, - 'he orlgin of Buddhism is g0 remato that its dato canuot bo flxed Iator than from 400 to 600 yeary boforo Ohrlst, 1ta canonioal books lave beou prosgorved Independontly in no less than four conntrles, and sy many dlfforent languagos. ‘Tho Ohinoso translation of theso bools, and of whiok Mr, Boal gives a “Oatona," or consccutive synopsis, In an ootavo volume of over 400 pagos, will aftord an idea of tho enormous lubyrinth of ritualism whioh Liau grown up on the threo prop- ositions that, ny Loforo mentloned, compriso tha wholo of the dootrinos taught by Buddha him- Bolf, Liko Joous, Buddba wrote no books.- In his oral digcolireos ho did nothing but amplify and rites and no rules of ‘lifo, excopt ab- atrnot onos, iIndicating the genoral tenor of. the 1ifo to bo fod by hin disclplos.

" X Tho Buddbist Konmos, 1s it exiats in Obina at thie prosent timo, is o work written by o Chinese priest,Jin Ch'au, and published in 1673, This pro- fesacs to bo an orderly account of tho croation of tho Universo of Naturo, or mattor as distinet from epirit. Though published nt so Iato a date, itis In fact ouly o revisod compilation of logonds and theories that grew up in the ages botweon the death of Buddla and tho dato of its publication, Qontrary to tho modeorn popu- Iar notion thint all Buddhism toachos tho dootrine of Nibilism, this book maintains the etornity of Dboth mattor and epirit. Contrary evon to the tondency of some modern speculations in the di- rootion of Nihillsm, by the inforonco that thought and mind aro moroly the transiont offect of tho ovolutions of matter, the flame of & candls, & phonomenon that 1s totally aunihilated in the individunl ot doath, the Buddhist Beripturos 8y : **T'o concludo that thero are, 1ndepondent of Supromo Mind, objects of knowledge which are oblo, In connection with - mind, to act as conour~ ront occaslons for thoe production of thought ; all this Is but tho exorclso of mind itsolt, and may bo considorod a8 one of the manifostations of its substantial oxistonco,” : The Bupremo Mind is held to bo a univorsally- diffuned and solf-oxisting cesonce, and tho innu- merablo forms of matter in objects and in living organiems to bo morely the variod manifosta~ tions of Bupromo Mindin extorunl phenomena, Bused on thoso principles, the book of Jin Ol'au proceeds to givo sn account of tho ma-~ torial univorse, Firat, thoro is n * Groat Ohiliocosm,” or colleotion of worlds, corresponding to our golar systom, and, though tho desoription of this * colloe~ tion" of worlds is often confused with tho de- scription of this partioular world, wo may olimi~ nato from tho mass of Oriental extravagance and figurative specch the fact that, ages ago, the concoptions of oarth, atmosphere, tho ether, aud the rovolving planets, as thoy existed in the minds of the early Buddhiets, wero not less grand than modorn ones, . It is asaumod in tho Kosmos that the move- mont of tho worlds in the Groat Chiliocosm is on one plane ; thus the work of Jin Ch'au saya: ¢ With rogard to tho mensuromont of this sys- tem, the highest point of all, wloere Form no longor oxists, is called ¢ the limit of that which i ;" laterally, no numbers will adequatcly oxpress its dimonsions.” * Around this domain there is a0 oncireling rango of iron mountains, boyond whicli is the unfathomable void of space, Below tho mountain rango is the earth-circle, balow tire earth is gold, bolow the gold is wator, bolow the wator ig wind. This wind has a myaterious con- sistency which renders it harder than dismond. It holds tho world o that it cannever bo moved. Boyond this region of wind is ethor.” 3 The mysteriously-constituted wind thus spoken of cau cortainly rofor to nothing but the law of gravitation, Tho Buddhist priest, Jin Oh'an,— writing over a hundred yorrs befora Newton snnounced his groat discovory,—doscribed then, in language mudo suitable to the compro- hongion of unoducated religiousconverts, somo- thing that must havo oxisted in a more purely abstract form in the minds of the originators of theides, *“Lawof gravitation isonly a namo for our ignoranco. Wo can moasuro it, but wo cannot dofine it any botter than Jin Ch'au, It it bo truo that the primitive Buddhist sagos had an intoltigont comprehonsion of tho law of gravitation ovor two thousand years ago, wo have, in the form, the language, in which thoidea {8 handod down and finally stated in the work of Jin Cly'au, nn instance of the progress from tho obstract to tho comcrote, from tho gonoral to the particular, from tho great to tho littlo, from the liberal to the dogmatio, to whicl all gront truths are subjoct when trans- mitted to posterity through tho narrow channels of church polity and priestly learning. ‘Tlio Kosmos is too voluminous for us to give within tho limits of tho prosont article even a* synopsis of the vast mass of ita detailed descrip- tion, not only of the Chillocosm, or collection of worlds, of which this earth is one, but of other slmilar and indopendont ones outside of it. It ia sufliclont to sny that, in accordance with the Buddhist canon, oach of theso worlds is inhab- ited by spiritsy some good and some evil, Betwoen tho Asuras, or evil gpirits, and tho Dovas, or good spirits, thoro was onco & mighty conflict, which in some partioulars seoms only another version of the characteristio doctrine of tho Parseos in rogard to tho contest betweon Ormuzd and Alriman, but' in -another respoct more nenrly rosombles tho Jowish logend of the robellion and final fail of Batan, Each ochiliocosm of worlds ia ruled by its soparate Buddha, though alloxist in harmony, Tho Seriptures deolaro that, whon Buddha wundortook the task ‘of “ynving the world,” the moving canse was his exceedinglove andhis sorrow at the wrotched con- dition of mankind and of sll sentiont existenco. It was this that induced him to become incarnate in the form of man, In this character ho came into tho worldin the form of Prince Gotnma, of tharaco of Bakya, The mindof the Princo was turned to the contomplation of tho wrotch- eduess of mankind, and whon, by meditation, ho was Jod to the solution of tho problem, that os- capo from misery was possible by ronouncing tho desiro for and pursuit of the things of this world, which change and docay, he was called “tho Buddha," or the Enlightened One. Tho fundamental doctrine of Buddhirm, then,” oxpressed in ono word, is Ronunciation. The roward promised for this- renunciation of the vanitios of carth is not, as is often assorted ot all Buddhist socts, simply annihilation, The oharacteristica of Nirvans, ag formulated In tho Chineso Boriptures, are four, viz: pormanenco, peaco, porsonality, and purity, This is tho doctrino of tho Great Northorn Bchool of Bud- dhisn, to which much the largest part of tho beliovors In the doctrines of Buddha bolong. Tho Bouthern Bchool of Buddhism, which had its hendquarters ot Coylon, did indeed oarry tho idea of tho vanity of all things to tho oxtont of making Hoaveu itsolf a vain reward, and thus making sunibilation the groatost good. But this ulira dootrine should not be sceaptod as tho croed of all Buddblsm., Dy fts funda- montal doctrine of renunciation of the vanities of life, Buddhism was fmpolled to a continual protest ngaiust dogmatism and ritualign, In its protost againet dogmatism it donied tho eoxistonce of any such Qod as priestoraft doserlbed. It simply hold that all human concoptions of the Suprome Mind woro inadoquato, insigniticant, and untrue, On thia protost aguinst & God mede nccording to finito Idens vouts ol ther iu for tho charge mado against Buddhism of being an athelstlo be- liof, Embracod in tho Budahist Beriptures are four groat works, besides the Kosmos, viz, 1 * The S Grogt Tuathe 1 Liathe aivn . q tioned aa tho bnsls of primitivo-Buddhism.

It purports to bo a discoursa dolivered by Buddla in iliustration of tho van< ity of all things, ovon of Heaven itsclf. Bub tho strongest avidenao that it was the product of o Iator and inore ndvanced stage In the dovolop= mont of ritunlism in the Buddhist Ohurch is the fact that It rofers to tho # Pratimokshi,"” or “Rulos of Conventual Disoipline," which conld only have boen formulated in s long poriod.of claboration of oburch polity and Pproselyting, 1t is in this groat muss of disciplivary rulos of lits that we roach tho results of tho propens sity of mankind to elaborata details out of sime plo truths, and thus finally obsoure tho truths themaolvos. f Buddha himsolf, it is aaid, loft bobind him no wrliten document or rulos of lifo. Ho confined himsolf simply to proaching the vanity of all that belongs to thislifo, But, when his followera began to bo colleoted in tho numerous convents that aro yot the groat feature of Buddhism in Eastorn Asia, thoy gradually built up their as< tounding suporstructure of rules which regulata overy act of the convort,—hls manner of eating, slooping, walking, oven his mannor of breathe Ing aud.porforming tho officos of mnature. Tho confosslonal, as establishod in the Buddhist Ohurch, requires that on the 1stand 16th of overy month oach convert and each pricst ehall, in tho prosence of an nasombly of at leaat five of ¢ho brothiren, rocite soriatim tho 260 rules of ro- ligiona lifo, and eithor dony or admit haviog transgrossod each one, Those rulos are divided Into different classos, each roquiring n differont kind of ponance. Thus thers are four rules tha transgrosaion of which roquires entire excom- munication; thirteon that demand diatinct con- fession in detail and submission to such ponanca 88 may be judged ndequate by tho assombly g two that roquiro suspension from communica< tion; thirty for which tho ponanco is loss of goods; six thut requirs roprimand; ninety thak roquire detailod confassion of the circumstances, upon which absolution may bs given; 100 that roquire a penolty of studyof the Scripturés.

Tho porallelism botweon tho progross of Buddhism from tho simple doctrines of Gotama up fo this maze of rites and rules,and the progrosa of Christianity from the ogually simpls doctrines of Josus up to the elaborate system of church polity against which the Roformation was a protest, is obvions, But even Protostant« ism bas to some extent doveloped tho sama tendoncy. It soems to be the unavoid- sble result of prosclytizing,—of the at- tompt to gathor in the wunconvorted. Tho proportion of minds capable of entertaining abstract idoas ia comparatively fow ; for all tha rest formalitics and rites are necossary. A Buddbist priest, being asked what was tho uso of images, said, **Thoy wore necossary for the vul- gor, who conld not be induced to attond -to roli- glon without such aids.” But ritualism and dog- matism aro thrifty plants that evontunlly becoma tootop-heavy for tho roots, Thoabsurdityofthelr nminutoness of dotail becomog apparout even to tho crudest mind above that of a moro fotich~ worshipor, Then follows m rovolution anda rovorsion to the original principles.
