The ‘Cathedral on Fifth Avenue. Tt is gratifying to see the massive white walls f St. Patrick’s Cathedral steadily and rapidly sing. This immense structure occupies the tire square between Fifth and Madison venues and Fifty-first and Fifty-second reets. Projected by the late Archbishop fughes and continued by his successor, Arch- ‘shop McCloskey, with the co-operation of the tohitect, Mr. Renwick, it is intended to be the it imposing church edifice in America. The yrner stone was laid in 1858 and the work » ent on encouragingly until interrupted by the ar. After a suspension of four years it was gorously resumed, and by the 29th of last »ptember, when the Heracp published a full id minute description of its plans and pro- tess, its walls had already risen fifty feet and le portals in the front and transepts were sginning to indicate the prospective beauty ad grandeur of the majestic Gothic pile, hich when completed will crown the height $ Fifty-first street, and, with its tapering pires, white as the pinnacles of Arctic ice- ergs, will command the eyes and admiration all who approach New York, either by land by sea. | Thegdate of the completion of this splendid foclesiastical monument will depend wholly on the contributions of the faithful. In our days, with all the appliances of modern art and seience, the building of St. Patrick’s will not require, like the building of St. Poter’s, three nturies and a half, nor is it likely that the athedral of New York, like the Cathedral of Cologne, will still remain unfinished after the fapse of more than six centuries. Indeed, if the amonnt of the estimated cost—five million Mollars—were promptly paid, the Cathedral on Fifth avenue, according to tho assurances of the architect, might be completed in less than three years, We may, therefore, confidently appeal to the Arish element, which forms so large a part of our resident Catholic population, to add to ‘their liberal contributions to this pious object. Fortunately the treasury of Pius IX. is over- flowing with Peter’s Pence and ample provision shas been made for the expenses of the Ecu- menical Council now assembled. at Rome. (Moreover, the Fenian treasury has been dis- covered to be such a broken cistern—in fact, such a sieve—that nobody can tell what becomes of the sums lavishly poured into it. Here, however, in the building fand of St. Patrick's, is legitimate channel for tho liberalities of our Irish Catholic fellow citizens. In the steady growth of this ‘‘white wonder,” the Cathedral, they may daily witness tangible evi- dence that their contributions are employed in erecting a solid, durable memorial of their patron saint and a magnificent temple in which they and their descendants for generations may worship God. Reforms in the Army Regulations. The subject of reorganizing and reducing the army is likely to receive considerable atten- tion from Congress during the session. General Logan introduced a bill in the House yester- day which contains a number of good sug- gestions. He proposes that the offices; of General and Lieutenant General shall continue only as long as the present incumbents hold them, that brevet rank shall be abolished and the pay shall be fixed at a regular sum. Brevets have been a crying nuisance ever since the war ended, as they were given away indis- criminately, and it has been of late a common thing to see a brevet brigadier general of volunteers, who is entitled to wear the uniform and be called by the title of his brevet rank, commanding a company as a captain of regulars. The proposed change in the mode of paying officers is also a good suggesiion. Heretofore the pay has ‘been cut up into little items, such as pay for subsist- ence, for servants, for forage and the pay pro- per, so that an officer’s salary is really a diffi- cult arithmetical problem to figure out. Each Officer is required to certify on honor to the fact that he keeps so many servants and horses, uses so much forage and has made out his whole bill correctly—items which were not always strictly matters of truth, but to which officers are compelled to certify or lose a large portion of their just salary. The item of sub- sistence alone, in some instances, is greater than the pay proper. These matters all need reforming, and to smooth over the muster out of deserving officers General Logan proposes to grant all mustered out under the bill one year's pay and allowances extra. Tue Popr’s Butt.—The Papal Bull cen- sures Late Sententia—whatever that means— which has been already described by cable telegram in our columns as ‘‘excommunicating everything and everybody,” appears in its full Proportions, horns and tail, in our columns to- day. It is to be hoped that everything and everybody, from the latest visible to the next and as yet undiscovered comet downward, will find themselves in their proper spheres, orbits and places of terrestrial habitation after it hag thus been given to the world. We anticipate -hopefully indeed in this respect, and do not imagine that this bull will create half as much sensation in New York as did the mad bull which lately ran from Fifty-ninth street to the site of the new Post Offico and was there despatched, after accomplishing a very good service in waking up all the police- men in the city on a heavy and drowsy wet Sunday. New York still ahead, even in the matter of live bulls. CONVENTION OF THE AMERICAN DAIRYMEN'S ASSCCIATION.

Preparations for the Arrival of the Remains at Portland, Me.—Arrangemeuts for the Funeral in the Native Town of the Dee coused. PORTLAND, Me., Jan. 13, 1870. There is still a great degree of uncertainty con- cerning the arrival of the fleet bearing the remains of George Peaboay. The arrangements for the rune- ral, however, are gomg on rapidly, and if the feet should arrive early next week—provably the earliest Ume it can be reasonably expected—everything will be in readiness for the grand and imposing cere- monies, The programme agreed upon is elaborate, ‘nd if fully carried out will prove to be strikingly imposing and pecullarly impressive; but 1t 18 possl- ble that there may be @ material change made in it Upon the arrival of Mr. Rugseli, who accompanies the remains of the distiaguished dead. So far as the State of Maine is concerned Governor Chamberlain is ata loss to know what course to pur- Sue. He will not leave Augusta until informed of the arrival of the feet. Upon starting for this city it Is probable that he will be escorted by the State Cadets, and it is possible that a battery of artillery and a regiment of the State militia will be ordered to Portland. As has already been stated forty-eight hours will elapse after the arrival of the remains be- fore there will be any funeral ceremonies, During the obsequies in this city business will be sas- pended. ‘he casket contaiming the remains of the deceased weighs between eight hundrea and one thousand pounds, and as it re- quired twelve stout men to place it on board the Monarch the same number of men have been selected here to remove it from on board ship to theshore. The receptacle containing the remains is heavily lined with lead. -Upon the completion of the obsequtes in this city the remains will be placed upon # special train of the Eastern Ratiroad and be taken directly to Peabody. No stop wil be maae at Salem or Beverly, as was originally proposed. The Salem Cadets will perform escort duty; the Boston Cadets will accompany Governor Claflin and star, and the Sutton Guard, of Danvers, will act as body guard to the remains while they rest in state at Insutute Hall, in the town of Peabody. The services at the church in Peabody, the native town of the aeceased, will be very brief and formal. ‘Tue pulpit will be occupied by all tne clergymen of the town, and to each one a part has been assigned. ‘the Rey. Dr. Barbour, Who was expected to deliver an eulogistic address upon the memory of the dis- Unguished deceased, will make a prayer oniy, and the other clergymen will conduct the services, which will consist of singing of hymns and reading of Scriptures, It has been decided to make the services brief on account of the inability of the churen to accommodate tne people Who are expected to be present. The church will hold only abouteight hundred persons, and the num- ber of goente will cover that figure, The educational institutions which have experienced the liberality of Mr, Peabody will be represented at the final obse- quies by not less than 400 or 500 persons, and these, witu the local committees, wilt prevent outsiders and even the townspeople from gaining access to the church. It is uncertain now long the corpse will remain in state in Peabody before It is conveyed to its final resting place, but a week at least will elapse before dust returns to aust. The funeral cortege will include 150 carriages, hired especially for the occasion by the town. ‘The expense of decorating the hall and church will be about $1,500, ‘The funeral decorations in the Institute Building at Peabody are unsually elegant andimpressive. On entering the iibrary room the emblems of mourning are seen at once, the windows aud railing raving been heavily draped with black, with a wide white border on either edge, and tastefully trimmed with rosettes of black aud white. Near the princely gut of her Majesty (her picture) stands a catafalque, on which the casket which contains the remains of one who has so endeared himself to both hemis- pheres as to occasion these manifestations of mourning, is to rest. This is # raised dais, ten feet in height and six feet in with, covered with black velvet. From each corner rises standard, supporting @ framework of the same size a3 the base and about six inches in width. Pendant from this are heavy biack velvet hangings, artistically cut and trimmed with a wreath oi silvery stars, enclosing @ larger star, on each of the four sides, and heavy silver bullion fringe, with wide silver braid above it, and massive stiver tassel ap- propriately placed. Above the hangings a neat silver moulding, on a black velvet groundwork, meets the eye. Above this is a row of atlyer stars and another moulding that rises to a peak on each of the four sides, containing emblems of mourning in silver. The one on the front end has two reversed torches crossed; on the rear, the nour glass, with the wings of Time, are to ve seen; and On either side a large silver star, encircled by its emblem of cternity, an endless snake. On each cor- ner arises an elegant arabesque ornament in silver, surmounted with handsome funeral plumes.

In tne rear of the cata- faique is the picture of her Majesty, and avove tt the royal flag of England (exhibited here for tue first time) and the glorious Star Spangled Baaner, both artisticaily draped with crape. At the other end of the room the bust of the deceased, that occupies the space aboye the door, 13 also draped with the sombre hues of mourning. Above, in vie lecture room, the portrait of the deceased is draped in back wud white, with tue Cross of St. George and the Stars and Stripes on either side, covered with crape, and above tiem an elegant original fres- co, representing Britannia and Columbia by female figures reclining over an urn containing the ashes of the dead, and guarded by the British Lion aud the American Eagte on either side. This is elegant and artistically done, and reflects great credit on the artist who designed and executed the work. The funeral car is to be eleven feet in length, seven feet in width and ten feet gh, This will be covered with biack velvet, appropriately festooned. and trimmed with silver lace and tringe, studaed with stars. On the top of this car the casket containing the remains will rest. Underneath the casket will be winged cherubs in silver.

Lectures delivered in St Ann's church, Eighth street, during the Season of Advent, 1369, By the Rev. ‘Thomas 5. Preston. New York: Catholic Publication society. Ifthe Catholic Church ta the United Stuzes cannot boast of her Bossuets, Lacordaires and Hyaciothes, and possesses no pulpit orators like the Beechers of our Evangelical churches, she can at least lay clahuo to some of the ablest of theoiogical reasoners in wie republic. The five lectures in thts volume are note- worthy specimens of logical and effective arguinent. There is but one to which Protestants can reasonably object, and that ts the last, entitled “Protestantism a False Gospel.” its language, however, 14 quite moderate, the aim of Father Presion being to impress upon his hearers. what he be- leves the heresy of the iJeas that pbrongat about the eformation, rather than to denounce Protestantism a8 such, Ail the others are able productions, in which the divinity of Christian- ity 18 described in simple and wnatlecied, yet forct- bie and convincing language. “The Plan of Keaemp- tion,” “Phe OMce of Jesus Christ’? and ‘rhe ofice and Nature of the Christan Church” are the best in tue volume, ‘ine Catholic Church the Churen of Jesus Christ’ is a vigorous plea in defence of the claim that Catholicism is the only true Curistianity, Notwithstanding a certain Ultramontanism in his ideas, Father Preston is very lenient with and char tapie towards dissentients, and his lectures are in- tended as much for those “dissatisfied wich the un- reality and uncertainty of Protestantism’ as for the meubers of St. Ann's church, Who repose Tull faith in all of the di As we have already stated, the lectures are good, in both a theo- logical and liverary sense, and deserve to be extén- sively read. HISTORY OF THE SEVENTH RevtMent, NATIONAL GUARD, STATE OF New York. By Wiillam Swine ton, A. M. New York and boston: Ficids, Osgood & Co, Mr. Swinton has written @ book that, aside from the interest that attaches to 80 prominent and popu- lar a subject as he has selected, will recommend itself to the public for its sketching and entertaining style. There is no military organization in the State of which the people think more highly than we Seventa regiment, National Guard. Whether en- gaged in the peaceful duties of drills and reviews at home or participating in the Maryland campaign, it has ever been conspicuous, and has won distinction for patriotic devotion to the cause of the Union no less than for excellent discipline, precision in the manual of arms and other characteristics of a proper military training. That during the rebellion it was never engaged ia battie was owmg to the Jact that its services were needed elsewhere in the preservation of order and the holding of post- tons which were jiable to attack at any moment fron the advancing Contederates. But those who are ac- quainted with the material of which the regiment 13 composed need not be told that bad the opportunity ollered it Would have displayed a heroism im pattie proportionate to the alacrity with which it re- sponded to the call for troops to repel the invasion. Mr. swinton has traced the history of we from the time of its organization out of the * regiment of artillery,” some forty years ago, to its recent trip to Albany and Saratoga. its carcer dur- ing the rebellion is narrated at length, and forms an entertaining addition to the literature of tue war. An appropriate feature 1s @ roll of honor, comprising brief sketches of the services rendered by members of the regiment in the army and navy of the United States; for, though the Seveuth did not participace as a distinctive organization in any of the batues of the rebellion, it sent out 606 of Is members to the field, many to become distinguished jor gallavtry, and not iewer than tiity-elght of wnom to lay down them lives in defence of the republic. The literary character of the book 1s guod, aud its mechanical execusion admirable. A HeLring HAND FOR TOWN AND COUNTBY. An American Home Book of Practical and petentific Iniormation. By Lymau ©, Draper and W. A Cro- fut. Introduction by Horace Greeley. New York and Cincinnati: Moore, Wilstach & Moore. So much and of such a variety 1s the information given in the eight hundred or more pages of this neatly printed and bound volume that it is not pos- sible to do more than take a cursory glance at te contents, [verything ‘concerning house and lawn; garden and orchard; fleld, barn and stable; apiary and fish pond; workshop and dairy, and the many important (nterests pertaining to domestic economy and good health,” will be found Cleariy aud concisely recorded herein, The volume is probably the most complete and trustworthy of the kind now in pring ‘To the farmer, the merchant, the mechanic and the housekeeper, Whether tn city or In country, It will be @ valuable compendium of practicable knowledge, and as such We are enabled to speak favorably. of it. ‘The introduction by Mr. Greciey is written in the usual forcible and pleasant style of that genueman, and Well repays perusal. Eccok Feaina. An Attempt to Solve the Woman Question. By Carios White. Bostou: Lee & Shepard. If the “coming literature of the woman question" has not arrived its advance couriers are namerous and somewhat tmportunate. These skirmishers, unfortunately or fortunately, as tie case may be, do very little injury, although it must be confessed that they flre away with a persistency that challenges our admiration. Mr. White andoubtedly fights on the right side, and there are some parts of his work which are written with force and argued in # clear, logical manner. But his work tires the reader be- cause Of Its excessive prolixity, its Jengthy dwelling upon subjects Whose discussion has ivug since ex: hausted them, and its disposition to dignity trivial Matters ito tmportance. These have the effect of injuring the value of Mr. White's book. We wiil not Say that the grain of wheat which it contains is nid- den in # bushel of chad, but i¢ 16 certain that Lis strong points are almost lost to the reader because of thelr weak surroundings. However, in the main, the author's idea of what woman’s reiations to man should be arc sound and Will inevitably triumph. APVPEAL TO CHRISTIAN YOUNG Women.
