Interesting Address by tho Rev. J. Bennett Tyler. In reaponso to a call, made through tho prosa and pulpit, » considorablo number of Prosby- torlan Bunday-school workers convenod Inst evoning in tho locture-room of tho Mothodist Church Block, Tho mooting was oponod by eluging tho familiar hymn, *Thoro is » fountain filled with blood,"” aftor which the Rov. Bon. L. 8. Ely, of Graco Prosbyterian Church, offered prayer. Tho Rov. 0. L. Thompson, of tho Fifth Church, then stated tho objoot of the meeting, ‘which was the organization of a Prosbyterian Bunday-8chool Assoolation that shall bind moro clogely togothor the Sunday-school workers of "the city, Yostorday, said Mr. Thompson, I asked a mon, *“Do you think we con do 67" Tho man replied, “What can't Chiengo Q07" Mo then introduced J. Bonnott Tyler, Sccretary of tho Prosbyterian Bunday-School Bureau, who enld : I onco knew a man who 8aid *ho nover had known a Sunday- sohool born In a snow-storm,” but if this meot- ingis a success in this roepoct, it will boan nssociation of this kind born in such a storm. The pulplt is the Divinely-appointed cducator, but the Sunday-school need not interforo with 1t. What wo nood now ia o moro complote and floxiblo organization, "Tho roligions instruction of our children shonld be bound to the Church by tho ologest ties. The school should subssrve tho highost intoreat of 'tho Church, If wo ox- poot the children to love tho Oburch, thoy should ‘bo made intalligont inall Church mattors, Iwould insist on the Biblo as tho prominent thing in the gchool, but would add also the formulas of tho Church., Theo schools of our churches aro the ‘plreos to toach our children what wo bolieve, I would introduce tho loasor papers that are full ot our Church doctrine. X would mako tho young thoroughly acquainted with all the Church plans, They are soon to take ourplaces, and theyshould bo qualified for the position, In order to properly utilize the work, wo nood to unify onr.achoola.. All possible sympathy should 'bo extended . to all weoak schools. We moed a bond of -union that shall unite tho strong to tho weals, tho rich to the poor, otc. 'This was, no doubt, one'idoa which tho Goneral Assombly had in viow in makiog this orglnillfinn. 1t should be a cliannel for sympathy and union, Thero is an improssion—of courso, this is not true of Chicago—that Presbyterianism is a form of religion adapted only to ears elito, but not to the masges. Ho know s man who onco visited » locality whoro thoy bad o strange ides of Presbytorianism, aud ‘did not like it, but the man preached in that place until they know ~what it was, and uniil they a1l ‘belioved, it was n _system of religion for the mneges. O, lot us havo that sympathy that xoachos out to tho poor! Again, Wo need a greater coming togothor, and a higher order of toaching, Wo noed more tonchors and more #ids to stimulate them in their work, 1 know of nothing mors important in this work than to oncourage, in every way possible, those who are engagod in oducating tho young. I thank God to-night for this movement, which is so full of promiso. Some two yoars ngo, an sssociation of this kind wss orgsnized in s cortain Presbytery, and it bLas hold already ten successful institutos, thoir last meoting fill- ing the largest churohes, Thirty ministers wore prosent, and many tonchers, workers, and in- fluential men. Similar moetings have been held successfully in synods. Now ?ou have the germe of promise hero in Chicago for this groat work. Tnow inquire how wo can_utilizs tho Bunday- school as a spiritunl forco? "I answor in & word, We must make our schools Bible-schools. Said Bir Walter Hoolt to_his dsughtor, “Bring me the Book" * What book?” said his “There is but ono Book." That book was the Bible. I would bosooch the pastors to give porsonal attention to their schools, Said Dr. Tyng: 'l owe my succosa in my ministerlal work vory largely to tho personal atention I give my Suuday-school.” " Wo too often forgot wo sarve a risen Savior. Ho said of the childvon, “Of such is the Kingdom of Hosven,” We bolioyo in tho Abralimmic covo- nant. We beliove the promise ia ‘Lo our chil- dron.” Why should we mnot expect the littla children to Tove tho Savior and to bo coneecrated to the Lord from their youth ? TFinally, we have hore an orgsuization that reaches out to tho remotest- bounds of tho parish, and ought to Do tho mightiest arm in tho church, - And now may we not bo allowed to hope that through a bettor utilization of the Bunday-school we are about to seo tho dawn of & wrightor day of the flowers and fruition of the milieunium? - ‘Aftor Mr. ‘Pylor's addross, Mr, Wm.- L, Andor- aon, Superintendent-of the ‘Third Prosbytorinn Sunday-achool, was callod to tho Chalr, and Alr. E. Payson Porter appointed Secrotary, as tho preliminary step to tho immodiato_organization ©of tho Presbytorian Sunday-school Association of Chicago. Remarks wore mado by the Rev. J. H, Walker, tho latter making an “urgent ap- pesl in behalf of an jmmediato organization.

AMUSEMENTS, MOOLEY'S THEATRE. “Lorl, tho Foraakon,” o play that has galnod not a little celobrity in this and Europoan countries for itg storling morit and from the fact that it is n loading foature of the repor- {olres of many of tho great notremses of the iy, was produced at Iooloy's last ovening Lo- foro o fair andionco. It is unnocessary to dovote any nttention either to its plot or con- structlon, na it has been ncon over and over again by all of our thoatre-goers, and is protty thoroughly undorstood by them, Tho rolo of ILeah i nssumed by Miss Busan Donin, Sheis by no monna now to tho part, and it is not flattory to eay that sho imporgonates it as well 88 any nativo nrtiste. Indced, sho pustaina tho charaotor with oxtraordinary power from bo ginning to end, and in the church-yard scono, whero sho carses Rudolf and all his Lin for his unfaithfulness, sho ‘riges to an un- “expectedl dramatic height. Novertholess, Miss Donin would suffer by comparison with the forolgn actresses who have pictured theforeaken Jowoss on tho Ohicago stago in othor days. Her support i not what it ought to be, though in some respocts 1 is creditablo, Tho play, so far &g tho acting goes, sooms to have been pub on tho stago in gront haste, and without giviug the playors timo to mastor thelr lines or take in the situations in which they aro to figure, It would not bo just, under tho circumstances, to criticiso firat porformance. Wo foel satisflod, howavor, the company will do itsclf justice before tho play is takon off. Tho stago arrangementa rofloots tlu: highest erodit on Mr. Bishop and his asaist- ants. ACADEMY OF MUBIO, . The Acadomy of Musie, which,with other thea- tros,languished last weelk, was crowded last oven- ing, the occasion being the opening night of tho Lydia Thompson roason, Tho compauy is somo- timos known a8 tho Lydis Thompson Burlosque Company, on a principle not easy to understand. TThe piedos genorally subjeoted to burlospuo aro roproduced without o single foaturo of burlesquo sbout them. In othor words tho burloaquo is so uttorly ovordono that it is flat. _Thoe burlesquo ‘yoraion of ¢ Blue Board "~ played last yoar and lost ovoning is o favorable' specimon of this mutilated burlosque, It is not . ox- sggorating ts flainoss ' to sy thot iv'does not poseoss & kingla feature which might be considored witty. ‘Thoro are somo occasional funuy things which make an audionce laugh, such ea Edouin in his * Hoathon Chingo™ act, bul that {8 not witty. In thus commenting on the abaenco of any lltnmry morit, wo do _not say tho burlesques of the Thompson school do not E«uue, for tho crowded auditorium of last ovon- g would contradiet the statomont, and the fre- quont outbursts of laughtor would point that do- nial very keenly. It doos smuso by furnishing an ontortainmont which, if sonseloss, hns the merit of being' sinloss, It is not a hard- ship to sit through the porformanco and pass an evening of quiot amusomont, for thero aro sights and Bounds onough o plengo. But it is searcely worth standing through. The only nov- olties in the porformaude aro the substitulion of Harry Taylor for Hurry Bockebt, o chango which does not 0dd strength to the company; aud tho introduction of a skating act by o 1itte boy, who sings about tho girl ho loves in o shrill Voico, "The ouly novelty of which one can approve is the eddition of Miss Adn Boaumont to tho com- pauy, tho Indy. being the Eouneanor of n good Boprano voiee, which Las been well cultivated.

The informationfthus obtained, and . which in decidedly at variauco with tho alloga- tions of tho Slaats-Zeitung, 1n given belaw. Firstly, as to tho increaso of $4,000,000 in the city debt. ‘When Mayor Magon came {nto offico in Docem= bor, 1860, tlio bonded debt of Chicago was $10,- 040,500, and the flontlng debt was 714,878.23, Durlng 1870 the Council &fdored tho issuo of sohool, wator, sower, Bridewoll, and rivor im- provoment bonds to the amount of €8,700,000. This was done prior to tho time whon the new Oonsatitution wont into operation, and exhaustod the power of tho city to issue bonds. Since that issuo thero hus boon ‘no inoroaeo in' the bonded dobt. In Docomber, 1870, the bonded debt of tho ocity was $18,084,~ 000. There was no floating debt. ‘Tho flonting debt of $700,000, the lognoy of the pro- ceding administration, bad boen paid off. Tho monoy raisod by the sale of the bonds ordered issued in 1870 has boon used for building sew- ors, for tho erection of tho Bridewell, and the doep cut, and part of it is now boing used for the now tunnol and pumping works. ‘When Mayor Modill entered upon the duties of his ofilce, two yoars ago, the bonded dobt was $14,108,000, but, since bouds to tho smount of 8667,000 wero Lield by the sinking fund, it was in reality only 19,546,000, having boon de- crongod $388,000 during Mayor Masou's last year, But tho floating indebtednoss, due in gront part to the dorangement caused by the firo,—$260,000 boing for ocurrent ex- ponses for Novomber,—was $086,707. At this momont tho bonded dobt is $18,404,000, slight docroaso since 1871, and $8,453,600 more than in 1869, The bonds held by tho sinking fun d bave been cancoled, so that tho realand spparent indebtedness are now tho same. This large iesuc of bonds in 1870 was ordered by the Counetl, with but threo dissenting votes. The money they brought hes been used in making improvements ordored by sncocssivo Counoil a. ‘Tho present floating debt of tho city consists in part of moneys borrowed in anticipation of tho tax lovy of 1873, not yet collocted, and in part of money borrowed from the fund for the rostorstion of public buildings.
