THE BET. E. B. WARD,/OF CHRIST GIUECIL T the Edator of The Chicago Trabume: MruwATse®, Wis., Jon. 27.—Perhaps in the ‘whole range of our comprehensive English lan- guage there is no one santence pregnant with so much mesning as thai ehort and pithy one, slike descriptive of Christ znd His mission, * He went about doing good.” Tho statement is wonderfally eimple, brief, and accarate, and ¥et contains within it the elements of a gospel for the entire human race. And true asit was of Christ, 80 is it trus in this our dsy and genera- tion, that there are men in various fields of Iabor who are quietly tmt empbatically *going sbout doing good.” As a ralo theirlightis somewhat hidden uoder = buebel, and the sar- vices they render to their fellow-men aro the re- verse of showy. It we desire to approach them, we do not or- dinarily seek for them in gilded tabernacles or sumptuons sancturries, but rather in obscure and out-of-the-way oditices, dedicated to Chris- tian servico; sud in just such a placo—Cbrist Church, Fourth stroet, in this city—wo find the subject of our present sketch, tho Rev. E. Ba Ward. Tako s glance a¢ him just befors service com- mences. A powerfully-built, energetic, strong- Iy-knit, healthy mun, on this side of 35 yeans of age. His countensnce is noble and expressive, his head shapely 2nd commanding, and lu: ariantly crowned with closely curling black hair. A man full of human impulses, whose touch is magnetic, aod whose ealntation is refreshing 28 the morning broeze; a man so intensaly in car- nest that he takes you by etorm; a man who, having work to do. does it with a1l his might. This whole-sonled. undisguisable earnestness of Mr. Ward 1s the one great secret of his suc- ocess, and juclines his hearers to accept his ad- vice, expostulation, or .warning without sus- picion.

Zo the Fditur of The Chicago Trabune: Cmicaco, Jan. 28.—The saccess of the Central Charch movement has been 80 conspicaous, al- though condacted under the disadvantage of occupying for its Sunday meetings a theatrs, snd for its week-day meetings a hall, neither of which is very well adapted to the purpose, that the early construction of a great church edifice, with every modern convenience for all Iegiti- mate purposes, scems to bo perfeetly assured. From Sunday to Sunday the great anditorium of the theatrs is packed from orchestra to gal- lery with attentive listeners, composed largely of the most intelligent and thonghtful of omr citizens, and Etrangers sojourning at our great hotels, who sre drawn to the Central Church by the fame of the preacher and the known liberal- ity and freedom in religious thought which that ehurch represents. The Wednesday evening meeting has also ‘been largely attended, at Lower Farwell Hall, .and conducted in s mauper calcnlated to make 1t eminently pleasant and nseful. The exercisea are coods by Prof. Swing in an_ mformal way, the usos! devotional hymns being sung, praver being offored, and a briet and pertinent address, which usually covaists in a comment on siome paseaze of Scripture, or the discussion of 1 particular theme, delivered by the leader; aftor which the mesting is open to prayer and remarks. o The meeting, however, differs very much in its method from those ususlly held in that place, in the facs that Prof. Swing arranges boforehand with some gentlemen who are known to possess the qualitics—intellectusl and spiritual—which fre necossary $0 givo interest and inspiration to the meetings; thus avoiding the nuisance of being compelled to listen to the incoherencies and extravagancies of the traditional religious zealots, who manage t0 occapy a large portion of the timo of the usual free prayer-mesting, greatly to the annoyanoo sad disappointment of Grace Greenwood at the Tomb of Charle- magness=* When the Pigs Be- gin to Fly.” MEISSONIER'S GREAT PAINTING, BOUGHT BY A. T. STEWART. Saya a Paris correspondont of the Philadelphia Evening Dulletin: All Paris, or at least all artistlc Paris, has been crowding the salon of the Artist Club in the Place Vendome, to see the famous painting by Meissonior, whioh i3 now being exhibited there. You are probably aware that this production of the most celebrated French artist of the dsy, and which is known by no other name than the laconio sppellation of 41807, is about to make its way across the At- lantic, there to be transferred into the handa of its fortunate purchaser, Mr. Stewart, of New York, for the trifling considoration of 300,000 francs! I supposo this is about the largest sum ever paid for the work of a modern painter duriog his lifetime. The pictare was originaily intended to have passed into the possession of Sir Richard Wallace for tho sum "of 200,000 francs, but whether that gentleman was not pleased with his bargain, or whether the artist thought he had lot him off too chesp at the last- mentioned price, I am not prepared to say. Cer- tain it is that the American man of millions bas stepped in between the first-made bargain and its conclusion, and carriod off & prize which will make him the envy of a thousand competitors. ‘Tue transncaion has been noticed in all the lead- ing journals of this continent almost as wmuch a8 if it had boen some impor- tans political evout. Tbus the Independance Belge tells us, apropos to it, that Mr. Stewart pays incomo tax on a declared revenue of $25,000,000 per anuum. Tho Figaro, of Paris, relstes how Mr. Stewart, finding the Govern- meut of the North £50,000,000 in his debt at the close of the War, and fearing it might be in- m. _‘The Rev. B. H.

But it is tims to mention, at once, the great interest and curiosity of this work, and ulso, it must be allowed, that which Iays it mos: open to criticism.

A demoustration was made by about 1 clerical Iadies of the aristocracy just bes foro they were removed. These Isdies all shghted from ' their carriages, and, followed by their liveried footmen, made the togr of the arens, kueeliog at every station, and then, sull on foot, they walked in procession to the neighboring church of St. Clement, Rosay excavations resulted in exposing the magnid cent subterranean walls and arches of tho ruin, —titanic stones which seemed placed thars by more than human ageacy, and greatly increas- ing the height and appearancs of the building.

DEJAZET'S PETTICOAT. Wiiting from Paris, Edward King tells the fol lowing anecdote: Once, before you or Iwer born, Mlle. Virginio Dejazet was playing in soms obaoure province, when a well in which a peassal was at work caved in in sach a manoner ss % leave him buried, and yet alive. All France wad at once interested in the fate of this unfortanate workman, and the most extraordinary efforia wera made to save hum. At last it was am- nounced as positive that he would be liberated from this borrible confinement oo a certsin day. When he wag drawn out of .the well, cor- ered with bruises, thers was a greas cro aasembled to seo him. The physicisa, findmg him completely flayed by bhis contact with the sand and earth which had been pressing UpOR him, byndaged him. At last the licen and fannels gave out, and the doctor called for more. None wera to be had, 2nd the doctor was in despain when Dejazet came forwerd, made s modess courteay, explained that she was anxious of doing some good, loosed s string, dropped ber petticaat at the doctor’s feet, and said: “Tear that up and use it!® The Iadies present wers much annoyed 1hat an aotress shoald have to do such a thipg in their presencs, but there is no doubt that she did exactly tha right thisg- It made her famous. - —_— A FRAGMENT.
