We hope it may not be allowed to strike in again. There is a good deal of humor in this sen- tence, which the intelligent reader cannot fail to detect and bring out. The Jewish Times discusses the subject of eleéting a President, not a political one, ‘but the presideatial elections that will soon take place in the vestry rooms of the various con- gregations, and upon the result of which will depend, more or less, the intellectual and re- ligious progress of the congregations.” The Times hopes that money will not influence the elections. The Jewish Messenger speaks out manfolly in ‘Defence of the Jew,” saying :— The noisy agitator who professes to maintain the cause of the workingman 1s anxious to stigmatize the wealthy as oer a and useless citizens. His peoteerpe flourished at the head of the mob which roe imto the Jews’ quarters, and E eodaky wind their property.

Onr religious contemporaries in the country do not seem to be affected like some of their city brethren with the religious “measles,” nor troubled with what js termed religious “polliwogism.” They pursue the even tenor of their way, neither crowing nor croaking to any great extent, table this week that it seems a hardship to disturb them. And when we do, and by unfolding expand their wings, we find nothing but a little flutter inside and nothing at all in the way of sensation. At first they all appear like the white doves of peace, but upon close examination we find the croaking raven among some of them. The Independent gives us a long article upon what it terms “Incipient Rationalism,” referring to female pulpit oratory. “Portentous phrase |” exclaims the Independent. “at the meeting of the Brooklyn Presbytery, which has now become historic, its blast was blown in the lace of the recreant Dr, Cuyier. It sent a freezing tremor, we doubt not, through his bones, and the very marrow of Elder Lambert congealed with ver- ror at its icy breath |” Recovering its own breath the Independent proceeds : — “Incipient rationalism !’ These men were gullty of it. They ventured to doubt whether a command of Paul had just the sense of its literal words, and whether it was an inspired utterance for all tuture time. ‘The command was, ‘Let your women keep silence.” To gusstion its meaning or it present Validity 1s “incipient rationalism." . And the Independent goes on in this con- nection to tell a story, to wit :— A learned doctor of divinity, of high standing in one of our straitest sects, once told us that he was inclined to belleve thas the genealogical tables of Genesis, Which give a lifetime of nearly a thousand years to the men before the Flood, were to be in- lerpreted as lists of dynasties, with their duration, rather than of literal men. He was well on the road to rationalism. We know of scores of so-called evangelical clergymen who are inclined to believe that It is probable that the numan race was not created out of raw dust, but descended or ascended from a baboon ancestry. That is not “incipient,” it is progressive, rationalism, Spot it! “Spot it!” Whata vulgar phrase for a leading religious journal to use! “Spot him!” isa term employed by roughs when they mean mischief, and it cannot with elegant pro- priety be used in the columns of a religious paper. The Methodist refers to the “‘religious signs in Europe,” and rejoices that the Dullinger movement has at last reached Paris. Says the Methodist :— With these favorable indications comes an omi- nous intimation from Austria that Francis Joseph refusos to recognize the reform bishops as a part of the Catholic Churca in his domiutons, This is omi- ous, we say, but ominous chiefly for his own power. He is surrounded by an ultramontane clique— chiefly Court ladies—who endeavor to replace the Ultramontanists in his government, but his realm is the most disorganized State in Europe; it 1s made up of incoherent nationalities, and his polic; regarding the Uburch will only Abt to embrol hie!

The Methodist remarks that— Such canards do much mischief, Superstitious mings seize on them with avidity, and suffer from them greatly. There 18 apparently no foundation whatever for the report attributed to the Geneva astronomer. He has said nothing himself in the scientitic organs on the subject. It is a newspaper item only, ‘there are hundreds of giasses turned every night to the heavens, and not one among the many night watchers, in the observatories scattered over the civilized world, has announced the detec- tion of any such new and monstrous a body, though unimportant comets are of almost continual dis- covery. The Zzxaminer and Chronicle—Baplist organ—refers to the ‘‘Next Great Duty,” in connection with the approaching Nationa; Baptist Educational Convention, and utters words of wisdom when it says:— We can raise education to the dignity of a great common work of agreat Christian people—a work given to our hands by virtue of the fact that we are a Christian people. The proposed convention is to be held in Philadelphia in May. In that city, continues the Aeaminer and Chronicle, Was inaugurated our great and beneficent mis- sionary work, and it will be its crowning honor if in that city, historically connected with both of our pre- vious educational epochs, there may be Inaugurated that other and not less important work without whose supplementary power evangelization itseif must be languid and incompiete, The same journal has an article following the unique heading, ‘‘In the Polliwog State,” quoting Brother Beecher as the author of the phrast. ‘‘The churches which harbor these polliwog Christians,” remerks the Heaminer and Chronicle, ‘‘certainly have a duty to perform.” Like the slothful three whom Christian, in Bunyan’s Dream, sought to arouse from their stapid slumber vy the wayside, they should be shaken from their sleep of fancied security by the hand of Obristian faithfulness, Church members who are Testing on their past experience are, as we have said, easily known by their spiritual unfraitfuiness. ‘They are not found doing hard, earnest work for the Master in any department of Christian activity. “Polliwog” Christianity is certainly a quaint idea. It seems to come pretty near what poli- ticians nowadays call the ‘‘passive” policy, or, in plainer words, playing “‘possum” with Satan, The Hvangelist announces that Scotch Pres- byterianism has lately had a “‘sensation.” It seems that an Stanley came to Edinburgh and gave actiee of lectures on the Church history or ‘Sounds He met with @ hospitable reception, and was listened to with deep interest and a degree of satis- faction.

In fact, nis Krastianism, clothed in that classic elegance of speech of whicn he 1s such a Master, constituted their most conspicuous feature. The Dean threw down the gauntlet and Pro- fessor Rainy picked it up. The latter, it appears, subjected the Dean’s review to a most searching criticism, vindicating genuine Scotch Presbyterianism from the Broad Church aspersions of the English historian. The Evangelist makes the remarkable an- nouncement that two thousand Presbyterian churches have failed to send any contribution to the Board of Home Missions up to the close of last month. The bare statement of this fact will doubtless arouse the Presbyterian brethren from their lethargy. The Observer has discovered that the “Japanese are among us,” and proceeds to speak well of the Embassy, as follows :— Such is the dignity, intelligence and moral worth of the Embassy now arrived among us that we hope great and good things to fow from its visit. It 1s an event of sublime interest in the progress of Christian civilization. Since the wise men of the Fast came to Bethlehem of Judea in search of Him to whom the star had pointed, no embassy from the Oriental world has come to the West on @ mission of grander interest than this, We do not doubt that the God of nations has sent them here. They saw the star of empire moving westward, and they followed it till they came to our shores. Let us as a Christian people pray that they may learn of Him | of whom Moses and the prophets did write, and go back to Japan with the tuithful report that America 1s the most free, prosperous and happy country in the world, and that here all men are free, prosper- ous and happy in the enjoyment of unrestricted re- gious liberty. The Tablet—Catholic organ—reviews the proceedings of the Baltimore Temperance Convention—‘‘the. most imposing assem- blage of temperance workers,” it says, ‘which this country has yet produced.” The organi- zation is known as the ‘Catholic Total Ab- stinence Union of America,” and in regard to it the Tablet says :— The Union established in Baltimore is now mov- ing in compact and powertul mass upon the main ovjective point in its enemy’s stronghold, the demana which causes intemperance; in its hands WA ORDORA WHIGR FOURIOD WADA OAD RIVA 1A hope that the re-establishment of Italian opera in this city will not be of a fleeting character, but will be the inauguration of. a long and prosperous career. The lyric drama has had hitherto a checkered and uncertain existence, partly through the mismanagement of those to whom its. interests were entrusted, and principally on account of the apathy and indifference of those gentlemen who controlled the building devoted to it, and whose wealth and commanding position in society gave them full- power to foster or destroy Italian opera. The talents of a young prima donna have succeeded in awakening the operatic public to the necessity of encouraging and practically. assisting in the re-establishment of Italian opera in this city on a firm basis, and dispelling the delusion that New York is unable or unwilling to sup- port this, the highest branch of musical art. Such a revival as we have witnessed here this season is a sufficient answer to the charges which inspired the delusion referredto, Mme. Parepa-Rosa gave English opera in October and February with unvarying success, and Wachtel, even at the least promising theatre in town, enjoyed such a triumph during his thirty nights season as was not surpassed in his palmiest days in Europe. His successors in the same house, the Fabbri troupe, met with a degree of patronage such as in former sea- sons would have been considered beyond ex- pectation, Mlle. Aimée, in her little band- box of a theatre, contradicted the assertion that the days of opéra bouffe were gone for- ever, and drew crowded houses during her engagement. But the main feature of the lyric drama, Italian opera, which alone can draw an audience of fashion, intelligence and refine- ment, found such an able interpreter in Mlle. Nilsson that its lost glories were revived, and we may now hope for its presentation each season in a style second to none of the opera houses of Europe. It was a triumph of the highest kind for an _ artist to galvanize into life, and even endow with freshness and beauty, such hackneyed and threadbare rdles as Lucia, Leonora, Violetta, Martha and Mar- guerite, and this was accomplished by the Swedish Nightingale. But such a feat cannot be repeated in New York during the same season. Novelty and change are inherent ideas in the mind of the operatic public; even the venerable ‘‘Trovatare” cannot be always expected to gain a hearing, and “Mignon” has lost its gloss of freshness and novelty, With a due knowledge of this fact, and em- boldened by the generous response she met with from the New York public, Mlle. Nilsson proposes to give to-morrow night her match- less impersonation of Alice, in Meyerbeer's immortal work, ‘Robert le Diable,” and before the close of the season her grandest role, Ophelia, in “Hamlet.” She has made strenuous exertions to induce the manage- ment to present these operas, and to her per- sonally the public of New York will be in- debted for the presentation of both works. The Nilsson season will be followed on Easter Monday by a remarkable combination of operatic talent. A troupe, comprising such artists as Madame Parepa-Rosa, Miss Adelaide Phillips, Wachtel and Santley, will then com- mence a four weeks’ engagement, the r¢per- toire consisting of such works as ‘‘Les Hugue- nots,” ‘William Tell,” ‘‘Rigoletto,” ‘Don Giovanni” and “Il Trovatore.” The subscrip- tion for this season has already reached nearly twenty-five hundred dollars for each perform- ance. It will bea brilliant close to a season of remarkable success. The engagement of Mile. Pauline Lucca (Baroness von Raden) and the arrangements entered into by Mr. Jarrett with the manage- ment of Her Majesty’s Opera, London, for the next season, give assurance of a brilliant sea- son at the Academy of Music in the fall, The stockholders have agreed to extend every en- couragement to the management of Italian Opera at the Academy of Music next season, and there is every reason to expect that the success of the present season will be entirely by ita sucacaear, pronounced near Puebla, and a formidable | °F Shipping and commerce.

The Collectors are therefore directed to notify such fishermen that the provisions of the treaty with Great Britain, proclaimed July 4, 1871, relating to the fisneries will not go into effec: unta the laws required to carry them into operation have been passed by Congress, the Parilamenta of Great Britain and Uanada, the Legislature of Prince Edward Island, and*to warn them that their busi- ness must be carried on subject to the restrictions existing at the ratification of the treaty. Tne cir culat states that the fishermen of the United States are prohibited from the use of inshore fisheries, They may, however, take. fish on the soutnern coast of Newfoundland from’ Cape Ray to the Ramean Islands, and on the western and northern coast from Cave Ray to the Quiripon Islands, on the Shores of the Magdalen Islands, on the coasts fronz Mount Folly to and through the Straits of Belle Isle and thence northwardly, but without prejudice to any exclusive rights of the Hudson Bay Company. They may dry and cure fish on any part of the southern coast of Newfoundiand above described and off the coast of Labrador not settled. If set~ tled there must be a previous agreement with the inhabitants. They may also enter any bay, or harbor for the purpose of shelter, repairing damages, purchasing wood or obtaining water.
