THE. NEW HEAVEN AND THE NEW EARTH, King David's “Handful of Corn In the Earth Upon the Top of the Mountains.” 4nd the Millennium of St. John the Divine. A London Old Fogy on the Sunday Dis- courses of the Herald. the London Spectator.) THR PROPHETIC OFFICE OF THE NEW YORK HERALD, Is Mr. James Gorden Bennett also among the nets? Yes; for he Dow publishes a Sunday yn of the NEw York HERALD, and a Sunday edition of the New YoRK HERALD Will sell better with @ prophecy than without one, especially if the A hecy be short, sensational and eminently New —and ali these characteristics Mr. Gordon Bennett has taken care to provide jor the enh ropbectes which introduce — his Sunday ton the notice of his sub- geribers, But we may be quite sure that Mr. @ordon Bennett is not among the prophets in the same sense in Which Saul was among the prophets when he came to Samuel in Naioth, in Ramah, lying “down naked all that day and all that nignt,” pro- Bhesying apparently in 1avor of David and against msell, In @ certain sense no doubt the Sunday phet of the New YoRrK HEKALD 1s naked enough; ut 1t 18 uot the nakedness of huuiliation, but the Dakedness of self-exaltauon which animates his prophecy. Dr. Watts bas toid us what he felt, ‘When I with pleasing wonder stand, And all my fine survey; and the prophet of the New York HERALD—speak- Ing, of course, more in the name of New York than im that of his own individu: reonality—tells us the same. He is overwhelmed with wonder, love and praise. He 1s satisfied that New Yorx will be the New Jerusalem, “the holy city coming down from God out of heaven prepared asa bride adorned for her husband.” He is satisfied of this not because the city is culled New York, for he gives up James that pomt, being compelied to admit that it must be in some respects a@ (morally) mew ‘New York, not the existing New York, which 1s to be the New Jerusalem, so th it ne surrenders all the advantage of its existing title, admitting that its newness 1s at present newness ‘of evil rather than of gooa, and must be exchanged for @ newer newness of a qitferent sort. But bho holds that New York is destined to be the New Jeru- salem on (ate of the most naked materialism, 1. ¢.

He explains that there beiug no more sea simply means that sea routes are to be so much shorter than before—that they are to be bridged over by steam and telegraph wires. “The Suez and Da- rien canais, and continental railroaus, and land and Ocean cables, steamships and newspapers” are the agencies which are to make the earth new and to @bulhilate the sea, of which, no doubt, the most po- ‘ent of ali will be the great HeRaLp of Lhese events, which cannot but be coustituted the official journal of tms New Jerusalem—the only aimiculty vemg that it is expressly stated that “‘tnere shall in no wise enter into 1¢ anything that deflieth, nor whatsvever worketh abomination or maketh a ie’—which will certaimly compel. the NEW YoRK HERALD to become very new indeea—nay, to abandon, perhaps, its principai function. Indeed, we wonder that the prophet of the New York HERALD did not remember one very powerful eon- Mirmation of the probability of nis prophecy. It would seem that immediately before the descent of the New Jerusalem, just when “the time was at hand,” the following command was to apply:—“He that 13 unjust let him be unjust suil, and he which 1s filthy let num be Althy sull”—a command which Would seem to be almost more literally observed just now 1 New York than in any other city of the world, old or new, and which may point, perhaps, to its superior claim over other cities to fulfil the condl- tuons of the connected prophecy. in his second Sunday proptiecy the prophet of the New York HERALD expigins the application of the Words of the Psalmist, ‘There shail be a handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruic thereof shail shake like Lebunon, anu they of the city snail fourish like grass o1 the earth; ana he interprets the handful of corn to mean “modern science in its application to the good of mankind,” which is to be rich in fruits of wuity aud confedera- tion—to produce ‘‘a fusion of all the nations of the carth—Indians, Chinese, negroes and ail—in a common brotherhood and under one mighty confederation” of genuine law and order, ‘iberty, equality, fraternity.’ ‘The pregs, the raliroad, the steamship and the telegraph will do i.” The doctrine of *‘universal equality 1s embo- died,” says the prophes, “in the fourteenth ana fif- weenth amendments of the constitution of the Unitea States, and is the very corner stone of General Grant’s policy. ‘hus, after the iapse of nearly tuirty cenvuries, the ‘handful of corn’ reierred to vy King David is, we may say, with the top-dressing of General Grant, beginning to snake like Lebanon.” Very like Lebanon indeed, jus: a8 like as King David 1s to General Jackson, to whom in another part of his prophecy, the prophet refers as having evinced the same. sort of ‘sterling character” as David in his later years, when his days of “fibus- tering and iree love” were over. The ‘top dressing” of General Grant has been undoubtedly a very severe dressing to the Southern States, but by way of mul- Uplyimg “the handful of cora on the top of the mountain,” which the writer of the seventy-second Psalm clearly took as an tinage of agricuitural pros- Derity, we fear that, for the presen: ut least, General Grant’s top dressing has not been pecullariy suc- + This wonderful prophet connects with his inter- pretation of verse of the psalm in question, an interpretation of @ passage from the Apocalypse solely on the ground, as far as we can see, that Lie two could by no possibility have anyching to do witn each other. His second passage is this:—‘‘And I naw an angel come down from weaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and @ great chain 10 his nand, And he laid hold on the dragon, that oid serpent which is the devil and satan, and bound nim a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and set a seal upon him that he shonld deceive the nations no more ul! the thousand years should be fulfilled, and after that he must be loosed for a season.” The fulfiment of this prophecy ts to be, strange to say, the work of the electric teie- graph! ‘fhe electric telegraph tu # network of wire all over the globe is whe chain that will vind ‘that old serpent which is the Devil torat least a thotisand years.” And the agents of the Associatea Presa, Mr. Keuter, |.

But why for only ‘a thousand years at least?” Are all the chains of all the telegraphs to suap then for @ season, 80 that ‘that old yerpent which is the Devil” shall be loosed? On this the New York pro- phet is entirely silent. Sureiy the oid serpent nas Rot bought the unexpired remainder-right in the very chains by which he isto be bound, after you years’ lease is up?

To THe Evifor OF Ta HERALD:— Your report of the lecture by Father Preston on the “Catholic View of the Public School Ques- tion,” was accurate in two statements, which, though seemingly trivial, are yet likely to provoke comment among some of the Puritan advocates of the present system. Your reporier says that Father Preston was received witn great ‘cheering.’ whereas there Was not a single “cheer” uttered tne whole evening, the applause having been confined to clapping of hands by the gentlemen and waving of hand&erchiefs by the ladies, who comprised about one-third of the audience. 1 make this correction to show that an audience composed principally of Catholics evinced @ decorous regard for the Lord’s day by thus repressing all boisterous manifesta- tions of enthusiasm. You make Father Preston to say that it 18 a matter of indifference to Catholics which Version of tie Bible be read. Now this would appear strange and inconsistent, if ne had said 80; because tuere is a wide diiference between the Douay version and that authorized by King James. The Catholic edition was issued several years before the accepted Protestant edition, having been transiated at tae celebrated Irsh college of Douai. The Protestant version shows evidence Of corruption m many essentials, done, douvtiess to justity the new made religion. Why have the Books of Maccabees been omitted from the Protestant version but through fear ol justifying the doctrine of purgatory, wherein we are vid “it 1s @ holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they be loosed from their sus?” Why has the wcrd ‘‘repeutance” every wnere been substituted for “penance,” but only to set forth that mere sorrow without atonement and amendment, is suflicient satisfaction? Why substi- tute the word “which,” iu reference to the Deity (as in the Lord’s Prayer), instead of “who,” but only to condemn the idea Of personality as conveyed in the nse of images by Catholics? Surely Vather Preston could not have regarded such legerdemain with in- aiference. No, sir; On the contrary, the mere fact that tis Corrupted and garbied edition of the Bible 18 the ‘sole rule of faul,” relied on by Protestants, without any regard for the individual revelation which God has whispered to the soul of every man; without regard for tradition and contemporary ecclesiastical history; without regard for philosophy, the “science of sciences” (Phitosuphia Bion Kuber- neces), this mere fact would be @ sufficient argument against such @ text book im our public schouis. father Preston sald that Catholics would not have ~ anything to do with the public scuools; not because @ mere corrupt and one-sided text buok of Teligion and morais was tauglit, but because moral- ity and religion were not taught as rudiments essen- tial to ali literary knowledge. Tuen he quoted Waahington’s Farewell Address, to show that religion and moral virtue were the basis of pubiic integrity and political honesty, as. well in society generally as in_ the Jamily ana individual. father Preston did say that were he reduced to choosing between the reten- tion of the present version of the Bible used in the public schaols or else no education that he would preter the former, merely as a choice of evils; that be would waive ail differences for the sake of the lattes, agreeing to the use of such parts as are heid in common between Catholic and Protestant. Bat your reporter did not tous cieariy set forth the seemingly ambiguous sentence in Father Preston’s exposition of te “Catholic View of the Public School Question.” When @ man assumes to ex- pound tue opinions held by a numerous portion of the community every man for whom he presumes to Speak bas aright to claim a proper and clear inter- pretation of them. It is amusing to see journals like the #ribune and Times and Puritan organs such ag the obsolete Observer confound the terms com- mon school and free school with mixed education, as it both were incompatible with the denomina- tional system, thus showing a gross ignorence of the subject upon which they assume to write. .

Re le in Newburg, Revival meetings are hela every evening in two of the Metuediat churches of Newburg. In Trinity church there have been over 100 conversions, and still large numbers are “inquiring the way to be saved.” Members of other denominations are as. sisting the Methodists in their revival efforts, Promineut among these may be mentioned Rey, Wendell Prime, pastor of the Union Presbyterian church, and son of the editor of the New York Observer, This gentleman has rendered effective service in the protracted meetings at the Methodist churches, At the Western avenue church of that de- nomination the conversions number about fity, At Highiand, Newbarg district, an extensive revival has broken out. Many of the principal citizens of ‘the place have professed conversion. On Sunday evening last in the Methedist church, twenty-tive persons presented themselves at the altar and thirty rose in the congregation for prayers. Just before the hour for concluding the services arrived a turtll- ing imeident occurred. A Captain Smith, one of the miost influential citizens of the place, siarted from iis seat in the church and walked quickiy towards the aliar, making his way 10 front as far as ye could. He prostrated bim- self upon the floor and with the most piercing cries besought God to have mercy upon him and to for- give him his sins. The effect upon the audience was electiic, and ail seemed to share in the distress of the stalworth penitent, who at length seemed to find re- ict in thy garpes! entreaties gs the breturen in bis behalf. At Rondout the conversions in the Metho- dist church number 250, Revival to California.

The Arcade Railroad, which the feminine firm of Woodhull, Clafin & Co. say that they have been backing up with immense labor, and gorgeous pic- tures of which adorn the walls of hotels and count- ‘og rooms all over the State, is about;to be révivea. ‘This fact is proclaimed by the presence at the Dela- van of Mellville Smith, more famullarly known, to distinguish him from that numerous family, as ‘ Ar, cade Smith.” He carries the hopes of the enterprise im his quiet and perpetual smile, and alvhough but an indifferent lopbyist bimseif, if he can get the as- sistance of the affable George U.

Invitations are out for Governor Hoffman’s recep. tion on Thursday evening next at the Executive Mansion.

Ifit ts as cordial and courteous an af- fair as that of last year the occasion will be very splendia, The Governor's receptions are strictly on the teetotal principle, nothing stronger than Roman punch being displayed on the table “to cheer but not inebriate.”” This allusion brings me to the con- sideration of OUR TEMPERANCE REPRESENTATIVES, Many people suppose that the members of the cliy democratic delegation, because they have been, for the most part, nursed in the rude cradle of primary elections, must necessarily belong to the rough order and hard drinking school. But this is a mistake, Whatever the rule may be as to the demolition of liquids at the primaries many of the members who are the outcroppings of these institutions are cer- tainly exemplars of abstinence in this respect. Out of the twenty members comprising our city delegation 1 can name at least half a dozen whose habits would not dishonor Fatner Mathew—in iact who are teectotal jewels “of the first water.” There is ‘Denny’? Binns, Lawrence Kiernan, Peter Mitchell, ‘Mike’? Murphy, “Owney” Cavanaugh, ‘Jim’ Irving, George nkelt—all the most abstemious of poiliticiaus, he Colonel,” as Murphy 1s familiarly and properly called, because he earned the title on the battle field, is a8 consistent as Grant in the indulgence of nis cigar; but bis dissipation begins with the first whit, and ends with the stump of aright royal “Partaga ‘These facts are curiosities im the story of New York politics, and Albany legisidtors, which are worth knowing, and wili surprise some innocent country people. WILL THERE BE A ROW? You nave heard all the gossip about the two would- be recusant Senators—Harry Genet and Mike Nor. ton—and also the fying reporis concerning endless and intricaie conspiracies among the country Sena- tors to deleat the Governor’s nominations. The absolute truth of all that story is told in iny letter published yesterday in the HEKALD. Harry Genet adinits that there Was a pretty sharp fight in execu- tive session on Wednesday, but it must have been a very short combat, for the session oniy lasted long enough to confirm ex-Senat®r Beach, of Catskill, as State Assessor—a mark of courtesy which 14 usually shown to retired senators, Genet, we know, is crotchety in his good natured fasuuon, and Norton is proverbially stubborn in an equally jovial way. It 1s natural, perhaps, that jolly Harry should (eel a littie independent on the ground .| Unat, in w great measure, he threatened ‘ammany into giving him the nomination, and feels, now and then, like snapping his fogers at P. B.S. and W. M. T. But for ali this, and aitnough the apple of dis- cord has been pitched into the Senatorial counsels, there will undouptedly arse a Paris to act as referee and soothe the passions of the sullen beau- ties. Whether he shall appear clad in a velveteen cout of Americus Club pattern aud wearing the heavy moustache and massy hair of the ‘man of the period” and the clouded brow of Vuican, or in ahy other guise, time will tell, and very soon, too. MAYOR HALL ON LUNACY, I believe that our astute Mayor—lawyer and ma- gistrate combined—has a hand in the uew bill to amend the lunacy laws, woich must prove the greatest biessing to unfortunate victims of “private assylums,’’ ag they are called, but really the shelter- ing places of the meanest and most crue! wrong. ‘The oill, a8 you are already informed, will be intro- duced vy Mr. Huested, of Westchester, who has con- sulted Oakey Hall upon the subject.

Matters Not Changed=All Quiet Along the Lino=The Pollcy of the Company. The strike of the employés of the Erie Kallway shops at Jersey City continues in about the same condition a8 it was at the beginning, No materia change was noticeable yesterday, The strikers seemed to nave been mistaken as to the degree of sympathy to be shown them by thefr fellow crafts- men in the other shops of the company. Although Meetings and conventions have been held and ap- peals published and delegates sent, there is still no sign of any co-operation, to the extent of a strike, ‘among the operatives of the road to the westward ‘With the movement in Jersey City. It appears that noteven the snubbing which the delegation of the various shops received from Mr. Rucker, the General Superintendent, on Wednesday last, excited the ire of the workmen to such @ pitch a8 to induce them to fullow their Jer- sey Cliy comrades and unceremoniously quit work. Up to half-past four o’clock yesterday afternoon all the men at Port Jervis, Susquehanna and the other shops out west on line of tne Erie road were at work as usual, and nothing indicating dissatisfaction on their part was shown. At Jersey ae men followed their usual routine, held their meetings and appointed tueir committees of scouts and for picket duty, to persuade new- comers from taking employment at the shops of the company. But the ofiicers of the ratiroad yesterday suddenly changed their tactics, They have resolved not to make any effort whatever to replace the strikers in the shops. There are now, or were yester- day, only about twenty men at work inserts ie a prentices and all, and these will be about whole number that will be employed unul the strike ceases. ‘The officers gay that although the business of the eastern division—mostiy coal—is very heavy, they can get as much motive power from tne West as they need, for there travel as well as trafic is tight. Necessary repairs are done at Port Jervis, where not only the working hours of the men and thelr pay also have been increased, but @ large additional force of workmen has been engaged. With the dis- inclination of the men West to jo1n in the strike, and the additional inducements held out by the com- pany to thelr employes west or the Bergen tunnel, and with the assurance that the men at Jersey City Will shortly come back to their shops, the railway oftictals seem to believe that. the strike 1s nearly at au end, and was “no great shakes” after all.
