She rallroad compantes in raising the price of warrying coal to an exorbitant figure, thus in- flioting a grievance upon the whole com- munity. Goversor Geary has taken a bold stand upon this quesiion, and we hope he will pe sustained. Oar Religious Press Table. Amid a season of religious sensation, para- gmount above all others of tho year, we ‘cannot Mind that Palm Sunday, Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday have inspired ‘mong tho editors of our religious exchangos ‘anything new or novel, Easter Sunday (to-day) may break the egg, and next week wre hope to have more to say in regard to Christian journalism. A apirit of persecation, however, seems to pervade a branch of our Prespyterian brethren. Mr. Stnart'’s case, in Philadelphia, is one of note. Mr. Stuart has been arraigned before the Presbytery for dereliction because he chose to give out, in public conzregation, a bymn commenclng thus :— From Greenlana’s icy mountains, From India’s choral strand, Where Afric's sunoy fountains Koll down their golden sand, Suppose we look into this matter, in the absence of any remarks upon the topic from the Hvangelist, the Observer and other pro- Presbyterian organs. When Mr. Seward paid a very handsome sum to annex Alaska to the United States did he or did he not contemplate the annexation of Bishop Heber’s ‘‘Groen- Jand’s icy mountains?” So far as ‘‘Afric’s sunny fountains” are concerned, the St. Domingo business comes as near to an answer to that question as we can reasonably arrive at with our present foformation. We might call upon Presideat Roberts, of Liberia, for furiher information in regard to those foun- tains, but we are impelled to refer all such in- Yormation to the court that has been trying Brother Stuart for his audacity in an- nounoing the good old bymn—a hymn that has been sung upon the tops and in the yalleys of the Green Mountain State, in the cabins and in the homesteads of the Granite State—in short, in all the households of reli- gious New England. The Evangelist asks:—‘Do we want St. Domingo?” and goes on to say that at present political interest is divided between the two questions of Southern anarchy and the aunex- ation of St. Domingo. Aé to the first, con- tinues the Zvangelist, ‘we have no doubt that the true policy is that which would call for the ‘least possible interference’ on the part of the national government.” In rogard to the outrages of tho Ku Klux Klans, says the same authority, “‘it belongs to the States themselves to punish such crimes, and the general gov- ernment cannot interpose except when the lonal authority fails.” As the exponent of an Important body of our religious community these remarks of the Hvangelist are of more than ordinary moment. The Observer seems to have sent its prin- cipal editors off upon a furlough; for the edi- torial columas of that stanch old sheet are as solemn as the tomb upon the vital questions of the day. It gives us an article on ‘Old Times and New” and inaugurates a discussion in which Henry VIIL, the Westminster Review, and honest old Latimer, are more or less involved. Touch upon the themes of the day, Brother Odserver, and your erudition may bring many men and women within the portals of celestial knowledge. The Independent is stupendous, It throws in a supplement of advertisements and wood outs, has many words to say about the Inde- pendent, but nota word about Jesns. The Independent is a very good paper about this time for ploughmen and financiers. As a religious organ—if any one can ascertain what religion it espouses—the Independent is essentielly heavy. The Golden Age is more brainy this week than last, but it still lacks vivacity. ‘The Shadow that Darkens France” is a well written article, but it overshadows the vatire editorial page, saving where a column or so is given to 8 slim discussion of the “Church Crouchant”. meaning the Catholic Church, The Golden Age says in this connections :— We do not join in the huc and cry of the Protestant sects against the Catholic Church, for the clamor 13 a8 unchristiau as itis timpoliuc. But the leaders of that Church are making a fatal istake in the policy tuey are pursuing. ¢ doing their ‘utmost to prevent progress, resist inuovation, sup- press the spirit of improvement aud extingulsh any park of ireedom that glimmers, however ‘aintly, ia sey mind, and set that Church im an atutude of a it Hostility to ihe life of the age. Go to your eggs, Brother Tilton—go to your eggs this Easter day, and see if you will not be a liitle more Pius on the Monday fol- lowing. The Christian Union wants to know “Where We Are ?” and pronouaces for general amnesty, ‘The bayonet and conscience,” sayathe Union, “are never good friends.” A Christian-liko remark, Brother Beecher. The Christian Union this week is well filled with original matter, which can be read and digested without sectarian prejudices, ‘The Jewish Times is sermonish. It goes from “‘Night to Light,” but the more we pon- der the more we become involved in darkness, Take the concluding sentence of its leadiis article, and if our readers can produce light from it they are welcome to the iliumiaation. To wit: from night to light the course of minkin? leads, from night to lizht the course of true empire goes, froin wiht Lo light astypeded in Israel's deliverance trom Egyptian bondage. The St. Louis Christian Advocate is a very large paper. It spreads over an extensive prairie of Christiauity, and does much good. It is one of the oldest religious organs in the great West. The Church Journal devotes its attention | to ‘Holy Week and Easter,” and does it well. The Metropolitan Record ia about as much a religious journal in the Catholic interest as the Jndependent is in the Protestant interest, They both look to the almighty dollar, and their worship alike is to the God Mammon. The Record has improved latterly, but seems to take its inspirations altogether from St, Tammany. The New York Jablet (Catholic organ) en- larges upon “The Propagation of the Faith,” and touches up the American Catholic element in this manner :— ‘Wo know that the Soctety for the Propagation of the Faith is established in a vast number of congre- gationsall over America, but in the present con- ‘vuisea te of Europe this great work ia neces- sarily intcriupted, especially ta France, and tie duty of sustaining our missions and missionaries devolves to @ great extent on Aimerica, Our distant religious coutemporaries pursue the oven tenor of their way. But it seems to us that a little more cash from their brethren would not buct them in the least, THX RED REVOLT. Further Particulars of the Bloody Fight- : ing at Neuilly.

Asa stirring picture of American life it is the best we have had on the stage for many a day, aud tts effects are novel and start- | ling without being overdone.

FANNY JANAUSCHEK.—This distinguished artiste sails for Zurope this week with the intention of spending the summer at some of the German water- ing places, She will be the leading dramatic star of tho American stage next season. The tollowing list will show how successful her last engage- ments were:—She played at Troy four times, commencing December 8, and received for her share $3,000; at Buifalo, seven times, commence. ing December 12, and_ received $5,000; Loula- ville, December 20, five times, $3,000; Washington, December 28, four times, $3,500; Cleveland, January 23, six times, $4,500; Albany, January 40, seven times, oer ; Chicago, February 6, seven times, 2,000; Indianapolis, February 16, four times, $2,000; rre Haute, February 13, three ary hee 0; Kane Bas City, February 21, four times, $2,400; St. Louis, February 27, eight times, $9,800; Cincinnati, March 20, seven tUmes, $3,600. This makes a total of $54,500, from which deducting $20,000 as expenses, leaves for net profit $24,300 in little over three months. Such luck rarely blesses @ dramatic star in the provinces, especially during such a wretched seagon. CHARLES MarnEws.—fnl3s most brilliant repre- sentative of that branch of the dramatic profession which is known as “genteel comedy” will be ihe star of the metropolitan boards this week. Tho name of Mathews 1s one well known and long respected by the public, whose favor- ite he has been for more than a_ third of acentury, At his father’s death he quitted the rofession of an architect for that of the stage, pre- ferring to draw theatrical houses instead of dwell. ings and public buildings. He commenced his career at the Uiympic, London, under the manage- ment of @ fascinating widow, Mme. Vestris, who aiterwards became Mrs. Mathews. He made bia début as actor and author in “The Hunchback Lover,’ written by himself. After tiis play came a dozen otners, Which have all become standard comedies and recognized favorites. He revised al Foote’s we!l known comedy, “The Liar.’ The fol- lowing tribute from a San Francisco paper will give our public an idea of what they may expect from this comedian. Charles, Mathews presents the sublimity of fun. There be ectors who present their {un in the same manner as the clown {a the circus turns a @omfcal thp-flap, and Ike hiro, strike an attitude and thus demand appinuse of the audi ence. Part of the audience reuders this extorted applause as it were under ooercion; they don’t laugh spontaneously, but do so because they hear the easi'y pleased and uacuill: vated portion laughing; but there is in every audience » small pfoportion of people whom the fun which the low comedian thrusts at them readers antagonistic, Ther “You wieh me to laugh; I won't laugh.” There is nothing of fils aort iu Charles Mathews. He appears nearly always in ¢ character of a man with weak points which afford mirth for his friends and associates, who, represented on the stage, enjoy them. He appears utterly unconscious of the pres: ence of an andience; he does not see them—does not hear thelr laughter and applause, The effect of this who can ap; # perfection of acting are on to catch every point made by inflection of the voice or facial gesiure. This is improving. Even In the short time which Charles Mathews has stayed with us he has done much to elevate the dramatic taste of our public. His en; ment at the Fifth Avenue theatre is limited and compels Mr. Daly to change the bill every week, Rustlings from tho Wings. So is Oliver Doud Byron at Wood's. Johnny Thompson is still “On Hand’ at the Bowery. The Aechenbroedel concert will be held to-night at Steinway Hall. The usual Sunday concert will take place this evening at the Grand Opera House. Newcom> & Arlington's Minstrels postpone their opening at Apollo Hall until next week. The Cynocephalus still endeavors to explain the Darwinian theory to the friends of the Circus. This tg the last weck but one of the season. MISCELLANEOUS. The Romelli Family, gymnasts, are on their way to this city from Caufornia.

Bu “Lohengrin,” with all ite massiveness, 18 not {ree from defects, These are maiuiy In the vocal parts. In his desire to reduce music to metaphysical prin- ciples and to give expression to conflicting passions without reference to the eternal laws of molody, he citen stands on the verge of chaos, There 1s a rest- lessness avout tie instrumentation in the second act, ia particular, which throws into bold relief the wiid frenzy ot Freiderich the innocence end tenderness Of Eisa, the Sonia of Ortrud aad the calm dignity of Lohengrin, The duet between Elsa and Ortrud is the most periect tone photograph of two opposite patures that has ever been created. ‘The most remarxabie feature in the opera is the distinct individuality given to each ciaracter by the orchestra alone.
