THE PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY, The Philosophical Society held a regular meet- ing Jast evening in their rooms, corper of State and Washington streets. There was & large at~ tendance, as Mrs. Julis Ward Howe was expect- ed to addresa the mecting, Dr. Thomas pre- sided. ! [ XO APPLAUSE. Providus to the arrival of Mrs. Howe, Gen.L N. Stiles offercd the following, which was sdopt- Resoived, That demonstrations of applaveo tend o Testrain, on the pert of many, the expression of their truest convictions, encourage the ufterance of thoss ‘elaelved to bo popalar, are undigniSed. unbecoming Joveis of philosophy, 2nd this Bociety disspproves of tliefr forther indulgence. The lecturess arrived soon afterward and was received by the company with hearty but rather subdned spplanse, which sonnded somewhat odd after the rather stoical resolution just xAdnpted. Dr. Thomas briefly introduced Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, who was, be 8aid, so well known to fame, both a8 a poeless, & lecturer, and an authoress, that farther introduction would be superfiuous, MES, HOWE: 5 Mrs. Howe, who is fire, benevolent-looking 1ady, *ith gray bair and calm, dori eyes, came forward and commenced speakiag in a very low tono of voice. Her manner of speaking is very peculiar, Sbe bardiy gesticulates at all, her ac- gent 18 somewhat drawliog, with a Bostonian pronunistion of the letter A ” in such words e ean't, master. ofc., but, for all that, she is rather attractive as a talker. Mrs, Howe, like most ladies, has a habit of talking right along, without paying much atten- to long perjods. Sne monnoanced that she was anprepared, but had much pleasure in address- ing the Society. She would endeavor to talk on metaphysics, which she did. much to the bawil- derment of most of the reporters,whio are basely non-philoscphical. She believed tho different writers' on philoaophy, commencing with Plato, to whotn she, in 8 most singuiar but perfectly Batisfeciory manner, linked St. Paul. Sheadmired the layer's style. Ho and the old Greck ware kindreé spiri's, snd, to properly undersiand Paul, Plato should fizst be studied. - Then sho expatiated on German philosophy. Hegel, she said, was wonderful, but very incom- prehensible. He talked, or rather wrote, ebove the masses. Could he only be reduced to plain +words gna untanght theories, be woald bs per- fect. Spinoza wae s Dbetter style, bat Eant was ber favorite, although the little, crabbed old man said that women should not study philosophy, Still, Kant bad done 8o much for humanity she was willing to kiss the rod that scourged her sox. “Mrs. Howe had also something te ssv relative to Swodenborg. Ho was rather rbapsodical,— dreamy, in fact. Christiavity was the best philosophy, for it cultivated_tbe noble, uncon- guerable human soul, which defied almost every- thing to obscuro its immortality. She did not know that ehe had much to ssy relstive to Beotch metaphysists. and she was froe to scknowledge it took a life-time to begin to comprehend the graud scierce of philosophy. After this the talented 1ady sailed iuto a kind of mystic sea where reporters could bardly hope to awim. She talked as if in rovery, and reminded ome of Ik_2arvel; but rhe was very pleaeant indeed—s kind of iotellectual som- nambakst. She rclated some things relative to persous who were called Trancendentzalists in Boston daring her youth, such as Margarot Ful- ler, Emerson, Everett, and others, and made the audience laugh occasionally. She believed there was a third party in everything, Thao rest of tho discourse was made up of ex- periences, very hard to take down in writing, but very enterza.imnitn tue aundience, no doubt, 26 nobody yawned, bawked, sneezed. or ofhor- wise violated the rules of the Philosophical So- ciety. At the conciusion of her address, a vote of thauks was upammonsly tendered to AMrs. Howe, and she was made, by acclamation, an honorary member of tho Sceiety. Gen. Baford, from the Executive Committee, annonnced that tho next lecture would be from Prof. Elias Colbert, who would speak on as- tronomy. The Society then adjourned. TEE PRESIDENT.

The chair was taken by Miss Frances E. Willard. Afler the moeting was opened by prayer the Chair statod that tho headquarters of the Society are at No. 148 Madi- son street, where ladies could meet and organize for the fall campaign. Sho alio stated that meeting would be held thore at 8 o'clock to- morrow. The meoting was then addressed by ARS. A, C. SOULE, who announced as ber subject * What Can Be Done for Temperance ?” She urged that the waging of war against intemperance was not an ensy task. The enemy was often to be found in the househould of women, where it was all the harder to combat. It was essentially the duty of women to keep free from the indulgence in alco- holic beverages, because God bad given it to them to keep pure. It was possible for overy wotsn to bring a powerful brain force to bear ngainst the insidious foe. They conld pass from home to home, store to store, saloon to saloon, with pledge in hund and do good service for tbo 1t was therr duty to call upon all men, and not to foel disheartened at u refusial to sign. 11 a reason was esked from them why tho plodge should be signed they should adducs argumeonts showing tho ewil effects of drinkic. They should not rest here, however. to the logislators, who as intellizent men wou'd acqueisce in their demands for the promotion of tempeiance. tracts abroad with a cersainty of good result. The vice of infemperance had (lono more to fill poor- houses and insaue asylums than say other canse. It was necessary for the ladies of Cln- cago to rise, stand firm, and do all they could to free this besutiful lake city from the evil that They should zo ‘They could spread temperanco sns dragging 50 many of its brillisut young souls 1o perdition. < ST F. W. TARPER, a colored lady from Philadelobis, £id iv was the dusy of every woman to make gu inuer resolve to fight agsinst intemperance. They should sco that tho men of their acquaiutance led temper- 218 lives. wgainst intemporance, and if they made a good It was for taemto tale & firm position stand they could accomplish grand 1eaults. MRS, CHTACUILL, of Rhode Island, said sbe had one or two 1deas on'the subjocs of temperance, but would ask to be excused if ber address was rather rnmbling. It had been claimed ina Chicago paper thut women did not know enough to vote. Perhaps thes paper was right, bu: tho epoaker thought as hiad bacn expressed in ome of George Lliot’s povels, that the women were made to match the men. Womou were perbups the equals of the men. At any rate, tho spcaker would mnot take the posiiion of the French philosopher, who clsimed thst woman, was the wiser, snd gave a8 a reason for thet wig- dom that. whilo Adam deinyed to bityThe apple, Evo buried her whito tecth into ,ii’and got a fif- teen minutes’ advantage %6, Adam of the re- sults of partaking of tie treo of knowledge.

In season and out of T4ason1t is tho Guty of the people to adore, and they do adore accordingly. i Here, however, it is difforent. Tne elect- »d ruler of the people meets with just n8 much respect 88 _he deserves, acd no more, II he does woll, he ia loved, and if he does ill the people put anothor man in his placa st the next election, There are times, however, when a President of the United States drops his official capacity, and appeals to the feelings of his peopla as & mau—n man of femily, a father, #nd o prospectivo father-i-law, which is Der- haps onc of the most trying positions in which pven s President can be placed. It is not to ba wondered at that then the people watch with anxions solicitnde each step of the elected fatber of their country. Everyone knows that our present President ie at present & prospective father-in-law. A ehort time ago he suffered his daughbter to be allured ®eross the ocean, and mow he is in Chicago to ive away his eldest eon to a Chicago girl. Hence there is created 8 national interest in his move- ments, acd it is with pity that it is recorded that the President’s movenients vesterday were of a rather uninteresting nature. ‘fhe President stayed in his room at the Palmer Houso ail moming, not moving out until at about 11" o'clock he took DIotter Pealmer's arm and went for walk throuch the city. When ho got homo he remarked to Mr. Paimer. **This is a fine city, but that brown-stoue TrrBUNE Build- ing beats anything it was ever my lot to see in my life.” At about half-past 11 a'clock, Mrs, Grant weut out for a drive with Mrs. Honore. The Presi- deatiat party lunched at 4 o'clock in the after- noon. Daring the evening they wero serenaded b, e ety i il !ingers{ but the President did uot make any vocal re- 8ponse to the musical efforts of his serenaders. ————, ERRING WOMAN'S REFUGE. An adjourned meeting of ihe-corporation of #The Erring Woman's Refuge for Reform ”’ was held Saturdsy, the Vice-President, Mrs. Hur- bert, in tho chair. The meeung opened with prayer by the Rev. Mr. Chamberlain. The minutes of the previons meeting were read and approved. It wes moved that the resolutions offered by the Ba\'il!r. Chamberlain at the previous meet- ing be Yoxd. Discussions followed upon each resolution, and all were adopted. On motion,it was voted that the Advisory Com- mittes to bo associsted with the Duildmg Com- mitteo conuist of five ladies, the samo to be ap- pointed by tho Chair. Thoy are: Mrs. Norcross, 3rs. Hilton, Mrs. Cunningham, Mrs. Orcatt, and Zire. Gage. A committee of nine on Ways and Means wera 8l20 appointed by the Chair: Mrs. Reavs, Bal- lard, Norcross, F. E. Jones, Frazier, Benton, Miller, Irw.p, and Tillinghsst. It was also moved and carried that the depth f:rmu lot b:‘;wlcl:ss tbnk: 135 feet, sud as much ger as the Committee in their j dl;vuld consider best. s Jucgment 0 more busioces a ring, adjourned to meet at the regular monenly aeeting of the Board in November.

ZRewsived, That tho Trustess be empowered in thelr Qiscretion to sell thelot on the corner of Indianz avenueand Thirty-first strcet, now occupied by the 4inatitution, or to lease the xame for a series of not less then thirty years, oo such terms and for such prics or prics as théy may Ahink best, possession not fo be &iven goosar than Aug. 1, 1875, 4nd o exscute s déed She said they bad relied upon the Baxter Tem- perance law as their great hope for success in their fight against the great evil. A very differ- ent result would have been obtained if women had had & voice in the clection. Tho liquor- dJealers had not opposed the luw, because thoy thought it would have no effect, but when they saw that the women had their beart in the movement they decided that it should be abolish- ed. ‘The women lad come snd pui their shoulders to the wheel. Thoy had not enlistod for six months or a year—they had culisted for the war. They would not grumble sbout unly getting $16 & month, becanse they were workiog for nothing. 'The spesier drew a very vivid and painful picture of the evils of intemperance. MTS. LIVERMORE, President of tho Woman’s Congress, addressed the meetiog. the opening of her speech being directed towards a cowparison of the sexes. She asked the audience what tho result would be if tho saloons of Chicago weie thrown open to the women of Chicago to go there without danger, and have all they called for. With the excoption of @ fow forcign women, tho invitation would be totally disregurded. The plessure snd delirium of ~ driaking belonged il to the mon, tho drega and pain aris- ing from iz belonged to the women. They should remember that prevention was botter than cure. They ehould temember that to feed children when reatless with a whisky tipple was to lay the foundation of s drunkard's grave. Tho spealer said that sho read in Tae CrIcAGo TRIBUNE more news sbout Boston than she was ever able to find in the Boston papers. ~What would people think i they read in Tme Tarn- UNE that at Boston & number of ledies had indulged ot a ladies’ club io_ convivislity,—got drunk, in faet? What would they think if a number of students of Vassar College had done go? It would convalse the whole country. Yot every day accounts were had of masculine or- gies. Tno best work which had been accow- plished by women of late bad beep the manu- acturing of a healthy sentiment againat ictem- perance ; but the vietory wounld not coma within the lives of any now living. The evil wss too firmly rooted to sllow of a victory so eoon. Thus those who ongaged in the crusade sguinst intemperance should remember that their lnbor was o life work. Tho speakor showed that the men of America spent 600,000,000 more in whisky than they speut in tho ordinary necossaries of lifo of themselves and families, After speeches by one or two other ladies, the meeting adjourned. —_— THE HOMEOPATHIC HOSPITAL FAIR.

Heunry Wolf, a German laborer, #0 years old, is misging from his home, No. 171 Clybourne ave- nue. A glight fire occurred at No, 171 West Van Bu- ren strect yesterdsy aftornoon at 4 o'clock, and causod Lhe alarm from Box 324. The Grand Jury bave exsmined quite s num- ber of witnesses in tho case of Mike McDonald, who is clarged with agenult with intent to kill James MeGarry, and will make their report to- morrow. The new choir of the First Presbrterian Chureh, corner of Indiana svenuo and Twonty- firat streot, created s vory favorable impression last Sunday, their first appearance. Tne *‘btsso profundo,” Mr. Louis Brown, was very highly spoken of. A dispatch was received yosterday as Pinker tou's deteccive agency in this city, 8DUGHAing the fact that Michacl Marphy had Bgén convict- ed at New City, Rockland Couaty, N. Y., of the murder of Mra. Hujus, 233 aontenced to behang Dee. 4. Thjs Hurder aroso outof a land dis- pute, 1 ~yhich Mre. Hujus was a witness. Al the crime was committed the matter a3 Placed in tho hands of R. A. Pinkerton, of New York, turonsh whom tho criminal and the gun from twhich tho fatal shot was fired wero secured. Officer Thomas Brannock, of the Sixth Pre- ciuct Station, evidently has never scen many blooded horses during Liig lifetime. or 1f be has, Be certsinly is & miserable judge of fast dnving. Dr. Theodore D, Williams Ssturday evening re- ceived a summons to attend the sick-bed of o atient, and to make all haste in arriving thore. 'he Doctor drives an animal which at the best can get over the ground atthe rate of sbout G miles %0 hour. On receiving this summons he urged his horso to its uimost, and wa3 commanded to balt on Madison sticet near tho brides. The Doctor obeyed the command of Osicer Brannock. Yesterday the hearing of tho caso was continued till the 221 inst. When arrested, tho gentlewan attempted to convinco the officer who he was by showing bim the implements of his profession— pill-boxes and surg:cal instruments—and insist- ©d that the patient was in s dying condition, and needed his immediate sattention. Braunock, Lowever, _was _inexorable, and informed the M. D. that he also needed lis iwmediate attention at the station. Drn Willisms was_not aware that his animal pos- sessed the qualifications of & fast nag, but now thioks seriously of placing tho **littlo bay " in the hands of an_oxperienced trainer, and will undoubtedly challenge the Maid, Fullerton, and the rest of them in the spring. Juatice Scally will let the Doctor have his opinion of the capabili- tiea of tho animal Tuesday, and on nis decision will depend whether the mare will or will not go into training for the turf. The desertion of the old Democratic organ of the Northwest, and its subsequent persistent abuse of Democratic politicians, bas created & vacuum which many of the old-time partisans of that faith would like to sco filled. The recent elections have had the tendency to arouse a now anxiety in this direction, and to inerease the im- aginary necsssity for a Democratic daily paper in that city. A few days sgo a committee of politicians of the old-school Democracy was named to wait upon Mr. Storey to sze if be could not be induced to return hia papor to its first love, or, at least, to force him to be respect- fal in his dealings with the party aud jts leaders. Whether tbe Committee ever waited upon the gentloman or not bas not been learned. But one thing is certain, that there is & growing feoling in favor of & paper to suceeed the Times, not only on account of its political course, bat for other reasons. Clark street was the ecene of no littlecxcite- ment about 1 o'clock yesterdsy afternoou, grow- ing out of & dispute between a well-known hatter aud sy oqually well-known dealer in beer, in re- gard to their rights uponthe sidewalk. The hatter, whose storo is above the becr dealer’s ‘business piaco, bad placed several empty boxes against one of the basement windows, whick shut out & portion of sunlight. Tho beer-mau objected, romonstrated, but to no avail. His female assistant took part in thedispute. She did not care for the exclusion of light half so much aa tho idea of having ber Desuty cut off from public admiration. She took the lswin her nands, climbed from her dangeon to the sidewalk, and the way sho handled those boxes in transferring them to the gutter would have done eredit to an ordinary drayman or baggage moster. This drew a crowd around the premises, sod momentanly the sidewalk was blocked; aud this infariated a pox-marked clerk, who rusbiog from the hat-store played havoo with the boot-blacks and news-boys as- sembled there. This called a policemsn to tho scene, but only too late to catch a glimpso of what had happened. The woman's solution of the difficulty was accepted ns final. The dealer in hcud-ixw continues to hat the batless, and the dealer in beer continues to supply tha “bricks” for not only his neighbors’ hats, but tho hata of all customers. THE FOUXDLINGS. The Ladics’ Aid Society of the Foundlings' Homwe bave concluded their Inbors for the week. Tho result has been profitable to the Home for which they are laboring, and, thoy trust, grati- fying to tho numerous friedds who have at- tonded their lunches. So warm bave boen the oxpressions of public favor, and 8o sincere tho solicitations that they should coatinue, that they have decided to do o this weck, In order that they may carcy out their Junches, they now appeal to kindly-disposed persons- to send dona- tions of provisions to No. 61 Washinzton street, or to the Flome, at tho corner of Msdison an Wood streets. ‘Without pruvisions, therc csn bs no lunches, and withont lunches thero will be many dissatis- fied men down town to-morrow. The people who eat at noon, having become spoiled by homehke fare and gracious attendants, cancot fall back with any comfort upon tho dreary routing of a restsurant. Every young man who bas a sweot- heart shonld certainly advise her, in a disinter- ested way, to eend contributions of food to these lunches. Then he will dropin and eat_of the aforesaid food, puzzling himself to discover whether he can identify the dainty dishes she prepared. The ladies also desire to thankfully scknowl- edge donntions received by them during the weok. inclading a clock for the Home. to this day thers has nevor. beon one in tho i.na%hl- tion, xnd thogs wrstchsd Afre.

The City Collector yesterday received £3.000 on city taxes ; licenees, $200 ; water taxes, §2,- 400. ‘The Buard of Public Works will advertise Mon- day morning the usual semi-snnual water-tax notice, which becomes due Nov. L Unle:s paid tefore the end of the month of November, 10 per cent additional will be charged. Judge Dickey yesterday finished the drafting of abill to be filed in the Superior Court Moaday asking the Conrs to isane an order of peremptory sale of the Gage property held as security for the Goge debt. Ald. Spalding is on the sick list. He has been so unwell for the past two weeks that he has burely been able to be ont. Were it not for this, he says, e would be sn earvest workor in the political tield. City-Engineer Chesbrough and Mr. Cregier bave snbmitted a report on the plans and bids for the construction of the new Weater-Works in tho Weat Division, They sav that all plans aro according to requirements advertised ; the ma- chinery promises to be very good, and all the bidders are thoroughly reliable. Tho low- est bidder that fuliills all the require- ments is tho Quintard Iton Works. Toe American Budge Company, —which is the lowest oidder, bas requested the Board to wisit St. Lows to examiie the water-pumps shich 1t 18 now ercetiog 1o that city. The Board have promised to do 50, ztd have appointed Tuesday night for their depariare. At the last regular maetiry of the DBoard of Fire Commiegiouery, Marshal Banaer made a re- port _requesting that all now fire-aydrants be supplied with $-inch openmgs counected with taper-pipes of 2i¢-inch openings. The report was sdopted by the Board. Yosterdsy Mc. F.
