The world earth, the manners and customs may refer to the human family. in the text certainly refers to the human family. The maietiee then announced his first considera- tio that none but the human fam t s a < redemption. wade theo ans affirmed that the could share in thisredemption. Darwen it now bere stated in the Bible that Christ assumed any other form than that of human. If Christ came into the world to atone for the sins of fallen angels he would have taken upon himself the form ef an angel. Mr. D. then roceeded to the second cons deration, viz: that t! ¢ whole human family are the subjects of redemption. The rev- erend speaker then went into an elaborate discus- sion of the doctrines of Canvinism. The sermon throughout was listened to with marked attention by the congregation. In the evening, Rev. Dr. Samson, the esteemed president of Columbian College, preached from Matthew, i2th chapter, 20th verse. Trinity Church.—In the morning, the Rev. Dr Butler (rector) discoursed from a Part of the 4th verse of the 23d Psalm: ‘The valley of the There is great significance - Real death js the death of the sts in living cnt off from God and consigned to perpetual pollution and despa: Oar dissolution of the soul and the body is but shadow +f this real death. The course which separated the sinner in soul and body at once and forever from God, was cancelled Jesus Christ. In the conce is a temporal separation of soul and body, whick is a beg mp of spiritual and eternal death only in the case of the impenitent; and is the startin point of a joyful and glorious life to the penitent and faithful. So that what is called deat , or the separation of the soul and body, is not in itself uecessarily identical and contemporaneous with spiritual death; it does but take the place of and represent this death. In the evening, the text selected was from the — of the 16th chapter of the Gospel of St. Luke St. Aloysius Church.—High mass at 11 o'clock was celebrated by Rev. Father Stonestreet, and the on, soy pay was addressed morning and evening by Rev. B. A. Maguire. The text in the evening was taken from Thessalonians, 4th chap- ter, aud Ist and 2d verses, This is the tirst of a series of ‘sermons upon the Catholic Church and the truth of its claim to be the only evangelical Church. ‘The preacher said that there were per- sous who were willing to admit that any faith was true, yet expr their preference for one articular Church.

He toak for his text part of the 17th chapter of St. Mathew The subject was charity to our fellow men, and the common practice of scandalizing was severtly rebuked. It is the doctrine of the Catholic Church that witbout restitution there can be no forgiveness, and how very difficult it is to make restitution to one whose character we have injured. Persons are, in general, much more willing to believe evil than good of their neighbors. It is best, if we cannot say good of any one, to say nothing at all. The choir, under the leadership of Prof. Es- puta, sang Peter's mass. Grace Church (Episcopal )—Rev. Mr. Holmead discoursed from Ist Chronicles, 13th cha ter, 15th verse, and in the concluding portion of his sermen addressed a warning supent to those who excuse themselves from connecting themselves with the church of Christ from a feeli ng of unpreparednesr. A belief in Christ and his divine mission, and in ones own sinful condition, were named as the pre- requisites in coming to the church, and it wos within the church itself that the neophite could best perfect his religious character. Methodist Protestant Church, Ninth street—Rev L_W. Bates. pastor, preached from the 3d verse of the 115th Psalm—a discourse upon the greatness of God. It wasan eloquent and able defence of Christian doctrine against skeptical sophistry. After the discourse the communion service was administered by the pastor, assisted by Rev. Mr Ward. At night, the sermon was based upon the text of Revelations, 2ist chap.. 25th verse— For there shall be no night there.’ Subject—the heavenly city. Asbury Chapel_—tn the absence of Rev. Mr. Granitin, the pulpit was filled by Rev. Eli Keu- sen, who addressed the congregation from the i verse of the 2d chapter of Hebrews— How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation ?”” ‘The aged minister made an earnest a i to sin- ners to avail themselves of the merits of God's great scheme of salvation, and also exhorted those who had experienced some of its comforts that they should attain yet larger experiences. Wesley Chapel_—The regular pastor, Rev. D. Ball. being absent attending the Conference at Winchester, Va., and it being the regular com- munion Sabbath, the service at the altar vester- diy morning was performed by Rev. Dr. Gibbon after preaching a discourse appropriate to the oc- casion St. Patrick's (Catholic) Church.—Father McNer- biny preashed an earnest charity sermon in behalf of the Young Catholic Friends’ Society of this city. from the Gospel as found in the 25th chapter of Matthew, 3ist to 46th verse.

M. E. Church South —Rev. Joseph A Proctor, ea: preached from the ith chapter of Mark, th verse, in the morning. At nizht, from 60th chapter of Isaiah, Ist verse. THe THEeatRE.—At the request of many of our first citizens, Mr. Murdoch will appear in this evening in his great character of Claude Melnotte ia Bulwer's beautiful play of “The Lady of Lyons,’ Mrs. Gladstane representing Pauline, and tC. Bass Col. Damas. The afterpiece this evening will be the laughable farce of ‘ Shockin; events,’’ Mr. C. Bass as Griffenhoff and Mr. Stu: Robson as Puggs. The performances of Mr. Murdoch are of a class deserving the warmest appreciation. While his elocution and ‘¢ manners are models of classic el ice and correctness, they are set off by such wonderful stores of elasticity and vi- vacity, such a wealth of joyous vigor, that his representations are enjoyed alike, and with the keenest zvst, by the cultivated critic and the uned- ucated b’boy. His engagement should be made the most of by every lover of fine theatrical per- formances.

Unity of the Human Race —Prof. Darwin, of England, has thrown the scientific world in con- fusion by the publication of a new work on this topic, supporting the unity, while Prof. Agassiz takes the opposite side, decidedly.

Books are of three classes. Pirsf, those to be read; second, those to be studicd; and third, those to incite study. This was one of the latter class. Words have lost much of their power from our ignorance of their original mean- ing. Poetry In the earlier ages used the indigen- ous words of the country, the fruit in its luscious, mellow maturity, but being transported over the ocean of centuries, it has lost its pristine freshness and become varal ar and tasteless.

Norton —In the editorial he remarked if Grace Greenwood cin deliver a public lecture in New York city, he considered it superfluous to appoint him to read the contribution of the lady teachers _ Review of Dr. S. Loomis’s Analytical Arithme- tic was the first article read. The work was com- mended highly. The points particularly noticed were the combinations of mental and slate exer- cles—the reading resultsand particularly the treat- ment of fractions and the new method of compu- ting interest. which it said was the shortest method now known, and leas liable to mistakes. The articles on Words and the A the Pyramids we hope will be pub! tenso, the first for the benefit of politi g ally, and the second asa literary production. The second was a poem of merit. Discussion —Question. What Position should ieee Greek hold ina preliminary course of study Dr. RB. Detrich would have a pupil memorize early, but not enter upon the analysis of the study till 11 or 15 years of age. R.H Steele thought we had too much Latin in this country. We had no use whatever for Latin, either in the mechanical or producing classes. As far as the language is concerned, it should follow the English. Prof. L. C. Loomis said, but few questions in- volved greater experience than this. We must decide what was the position of our own language in deciding the position of Latin and Greek. Children cannot understand under the age of 14, generally, the abstract relations of grammar. It Was quite difficult even for a teacher to note the difference between the words fo, Srom, and go. ‘They all involved action, yet one was called a verb and the others prepositions. Latin should foliow the English Dr. Detrich rv rked that the most suicidal step taken against the langnages was by those who attempted to introduce phonetics. | segre- gated us entirely from the past, and we lose al- most everything Z. Richards dissented from others. We had nothing to do with phonetics or the study of the English language. He had changed his views in a few years. Those that are earliest trained in Latin are the best Latin scholars, and as a general thing are the best English writers. The prudential committee reported the follow- ing question for discussion at the next meeting, viz: What position should Latin and Greek hold in a course of education? The following is the order of exercises for the meeting at 10 o’clock, Saturday, April 7: Report of Librarian—S. L. Loomis Report of Reviewer—R. H. Steele. Report of Reporter—G. H. Twiss.

Fire.—About 1 o'clock yesterday morning, a story-and-1-half frame stable, on Eighteenth street west, nearthe corner of New York avenue, was discovered to be on fire. ‘The fire had made so much progress before it was discovered, that no etfort was made to extinguish the flames, so far as tae stable was concerned, but only to save the adjoining dwelling house and the other out build- ings, which was very happily effected by the Union engine and hook and ladder companies. which were on the spot soon after the fire was discovered; but the stable was entirely consumed A number of valuable fruit trees in the lot were also destroyed. The fire is confidently believed to have been the work of an incendiary. Botp Rossery.— Yesterday morning, some- time after the hour of 7 o’clock. the room of Mr. Charles W. White, at Wren's Hotel, on Seventh street, near Pennsylvania avenue, was entered, and his suit of clothes (new) abstracted. Mr. White, on going up after broakfeet to Arcee found that he was minus his coat and pants, for which he had just paid thirty-tive dollars. The police were soon informed, and otticers Scarf and Bowers fixed upon an individual named Win. Hall, a temporary boarder in the same honse. Soon the pants were found, and the man admitted that he was the thief, but denied taking the coat. Justice Donn committed bim to jail for court. The officers in this case deserve credit. Bav Boy.—Conrad Rember, a boy of about fourteen years of age, was taken before Justice Donn this morning, by his step-father, upon the charge of assaulting and beating his mother. The boy’s face was scratched and bruised, and it was evideat he kad been fizhting some; and the cut lip of his step-father indicated he had been in the fight. The wish of his legal guardian was to have bim sent to jail till he could be bound out to a strict master, and the commitment was given npon the charge being sworn to.

M. McCormick, auctioneer, to J. G. Peach, for $1,500. X. Smitusontan Lectures.—In his fifth and con- cluding lecture on geology, at the Smithsonian. Friday evening, Dr. Hunt proceeded to speak of the crystalline stratified rocks, which be showed were sands, clays and marls of different ages, sometimes as late as the tertiary period, which had been metamorphosed by clemical action. He here sketched the two aerate of geological theory known as those of Hutton and Werner, and applied them to the crystalline rocks. This metamorphism extends over wide areas and is independent of the intrusion of igneous rocks. It has been effected by the intervention of solu- tions of alkaline carbonates; there at temperatures even far below redness excite chemical reactions which like a ferment alter the great masses of sediment. When these become pasty they lose the marks of stratification, and by reason of pres- sure may force theit way through fissures in the overlying strata and thus appear as ejected recks, such as traps, traclytes and granites, all of which have their chemical representatives in the indi- geneous stratified and altered sediments The heat which has produced these effects is due to the rising of the isothermal lines in the earth’s crust from the accumulation of sediments as ex- plzined in a previous lecture. The reactions in these heated and moist sediments often evolve great amounts of gases, which eventually over- come the pressure and break out in explosions, which are accompanied by discharges of the melted. strata, pug cee thus to the phenomena of yolcanos ae eart LecTURE aT THE SmiTHsONIAN.—Prof. J. S. Newberry is to deliver a lecture at the Smith- sonian this evening, under the auspices of the Young Men’s Christian Association, on the subject of ‘New Mexico and its Ancient Inhabitants,” witb fllustrations.

Copper ALLEN rfenectes ieatvidual who seems to have a particular propensity for copper larcenies, was ac ested Saturday night by Officers Williams and Edelin, at the Navy Yard, for steal- ing copper from the U.S. Insane Asyium.
