merit of being brief and jrrtinent to the pur- pose. There were three Cxochooan princes present, with many Mongoliats of high rank and note. The special Heranp correspondence, in which the scene is described, is quite inte- resting, and the event of which it treats of the utmost magnitude to the industrial interests of the far Eastern world and also to the Chris- tian friends of its peoples. Tho Varieties of the Pulpit. There is strong and unmistakable evidence in the selection of sermons which we present ‘to-day that the tide of piety is rising not only in the pulpits but in the pews; for it is a well substantiated truth that ‘like priest like people,” and vice versa. Sensational themes, with perhaps one or two exceptions, were fgnored, and the ministers held up Christ as the only hope of salvation and His life as the only perfeet life worthy of our careful imita- tion. There is withal a very encouraging sim- plicity in the manner of stating Gospel truths which is not as often observable as it should pe. Too often the preachers fire over the heads of their congregations, or if they strike pt all they strike the heads instead of the jhearts of their hearers. While head preach- ing has a proper and important place in Chris- fianity it should always be made subservient to heart preaching. ‘This distinction js not sufficiently borne in mind, and phence the preaching of the Gospel is too Pften barren of results. Whatever else may bo said concerning women’s preaching, this to Aheir praise may be affirmed, that they do not @arken counsel by words without knowledge. Whey bring none of the sophistries of the hools into their discourses. They speak lainly and directly, and the truth from their Jips isso simple and straightforward that a Wayfaring man, though a fool, need not mis- take their intent and meaning. And in this yegard male preachers might learn a lesson from them. Exhortations to duty—plain, ‘fimple and direct—are what the people want pow. They have been almost, if not altogether, purfeited with the scientific, the sensational ipnd the “‘hifalutin,’’ so that a change is abso- jutely and imperatively demanded, For sim- plicity of thought and of style we commend to-day the sermon preached by Mrs. Alderdice, pf London, in Attorney street Methodist testant church. By a semi-scientific semi-philosophical pro- eess Mr. Hepworth came to the conclusion that there is no chance for evil to have a very Jongrun. It is compelled to yield to a force fthat acts for good, because God has doomed it meet its own fate. Nevertheless, according to Bible chronology, evil has had a run of me six thousand years—not a bad run, after pll, And our personal experience and observa- tion convince us that evil is very pertinacious, and that it yields very slowly to good in- fluences. But it does yield, and that fact js an evidence, perhaps, that it is finally Aoomed. It is therefore logically possible for a jaurderer “to be saved through his own repent- nce-and God's divine love and mercy.’’ The Broadway Tabernacle, having been closed for feveral months, for repairs was reopened yes- ferday. Dr. Taylor, in the course of his morning discourse, took occasion to encour- pge the consecration of wealth to the (ord and greater liberality in giving of their substance by the rich, In er to the scientist who denics the ‘efficacy of prayer because God works by fixed Jaws, he remarked that God had so fixed the Jaws that He can answer prayer through them. ‘And in tho practical illustration which he gave our Fire Department and city authorities may find e useful hint, which they at their leisure ‘can utilize if they will, Dr. Chapin sounded the note of alarm in regard to the “ruffianism, prime and red-handed murder which are just now sorely afilicting our city.” The punish- ment of these ruffians and murderers is the overcoming of evil with good in their case. id just now we need a great deal of this overcoming good. It is good for all that this ‘mad career of crime should be stopped, and justice is the good that overcomes this evil— justice not so severe, not so harsh, but sure and quick. One lightning stroke of clean justice is worth a deluge of slow-coming punishment. We fully agree with the Doctor, and such justice should be meted out without unnecessary delay to the score of murderers who are now in our jails. Because judgment for an evil work is delayed the hearts of the sons of men are fully set in them to do evil. So says the good book, and experience confirms the assertion as true. The boasted unity of Catholicism is of a poor ‘quality if what Mr. Frothingham said about it yesterday is true ‘The Ecumeni- eal Councils,” he said, ‘according to a Catholic bishop, have inaugurated more evils than they have stopped. They are presided over by an emperor whose will overrides the Holy Ghost itself, according to another authority. The discussions are frivolous, and are attended with violence so great that one bishop is reported to have kicked anothor almost to death.’’ From these end other considerations Mr. Frothingham argued that there is no chance of Catholicism and Protestantism ever being united. All of which is patent enough without any such la- bored and historical arguments. Rev. Dr. Stryker, on “Gold and Gambling,” consid- ered gambling in stocks, when conducted by unscrupulous men, the worst and most detri- mental. It embarrasses the merchant, makes the tradesman unsteady, and robs the producer. Rev. 8. H. Tyng, Jr., preached on the uni- versality of Christ's atonement and the value of its acceptance as a matter of faith by all men, In tho Catholic Cathedral the Archbishop preached a thoroughly practical and evangeli- cal sermon, in which he urged the setting up in our hearts of a correct standard of what is holy, what is true, and acting up to it, swerv- ing neither to the right nor to the left. The instability of earthly things, the certainty of _ death and its possible near approach to every tan, and the judgment coming, were urged as reasons why we should all live nearer to God than wo do, The unalterable fate of the wicked after death and the eternal duration of the soul's torment were clearly and unequivo- cally stated and pressed home upon the hearts of the congregation as additional reasons for repentance and holy living. Mr. Beecher went into a psychological and metaphysical examination of motives in human actions. His shot must have gone over the heads and hearts of most of his hearers, un- iess, indeed, he did what he declared was the business of overv preacher—so “clothed God's NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1672—TRIPLE SHEET. truth with stch a personality that all the faculties were aroused.’ It is for the most part Mr. Beether’s own personality in his thoughts and ideas that make them of any account. Coning from a hundred other preachers in New York or Brooklyn his ser- mon, which ve print to-day, would be as unsightly and useless as a sermon as were Ezekiel’s visimary multitude of dry bones. America isa poor place for producing saints, but sh<is certainly worthy of having one. She hagnow the remains of a genuine one brought fiom the catacombs and vouched for, and yeste:day his bones were enshrined in the Churcl of the Paulist Fathers. He lived and did in the third century. Our readers will find on another page an interest- ing sketch of the ceremonies attending tho transfer, The City Improvements—The Neces- sity for a Progressive Policy. ‘The offences of tae old Tammany Ring are familiar to the word. It would be equally as useless to enlarge upon them as to endeavor to palliate them. At the same time it is un- deniable that unde the Tammany rule great works of public improvement were undertaken and pushed vigortusly forward, by which the value of property wis largely enhanced, the city beantified and the »omfort and conveniences of the people increased. The public parks present daily evidace of theso facts, and the dock improvements at the lower end of the city and the magnificent boulevards at the upper end bear witness of the enterprise of their projectors. The members of the Ring were magnificent plunderers, but they were also Napoleonic in their ideas, and if they had been honest would have made New York ina few years the wonder and admiration of the world, We should have had a viaduct rail- road to Harlem now well under way and a splendid system of roads completed in the upper part of the island. It isa fortunate thing for the people that the Ring is dead, so far as the cause of honest government is concerned. But there is no reason why the works they projected and com- menced should be left unfinished. The repub- lican Legislature bas now the opportunity to place these splendid improvements on the high road to completion, and it is very desirable that in this important matter they should act har- moniously with Mayor Havemeyer and tho rest of the municipal authorities. The dock improvements, the improvement of the Harlem River, the opening up of the splendid country beyond the river in Westches- ter county—all these works should be renewed without delay and pushed with vigor. At present we have fine broad roads on the maps in the upper part of the island and in Westchester county, but narrow, crooked, barbarous roads on the ground. The boule- vards that have been.laid out now for years should be completed with as little delay as possible, so that the present generation may be benefited by the improvements on which they have already invested considerable money. New York now requires a broad, liberal, generous policy; and unless the re- formed government gives us this it will be a detriment instead of an advantage to the city. The Upheaval of Independent Jour- nalism. The St. Louis ‘Republican—one of the most influential journals west of the Alleghanies— has cast off its partisan character and come out as an independent journal. In its issue of the 12th inst. the Republican gives a leading article on the subject of the ‘President and His Purpose,”’ and says :— It looks very much as if President Grant “means business” in the civil service reform, and is fully determined to carry out the pledges made by his party and himself. If, as now seems highly probable, he can resist the onslaught of the Cam- eronian ring in regard to the Philadelphia Post Ofiice, and follows up that victory with a similar one in New York, he will have accomplished more substantial good by these two acts than in all the rest of his admipistratiomput together. The Republican adds:—‘“‘In his struggle with the corruptionists President Grant has the hearty sympathy of all good citizens, and if he perseveres until a final and complete triumph is gained, he will receive the applause and gratitude of all true patriots, regardless of party distinctions.” With the independent press of the country at his back General Grant can afford to raise his new administra- tion above partisan influences and create for himself a name that will be enrolled among the list of patriots of the earlier and purer days of the Republic. In this connection we may say the Evans- ville (Indiana) Journal (administration), a paper of considerable influence in that sec- tion, treats of independent journalism in a congratulatory, and, at the same time, in a sort of negative strain. Being a political organ it has to say of those papers that are now entering the arena of independent jour- nalism :— Let the HeraLp imitators, therefore, be multi- plied, and the HERALD’s influence will be propor- tionably diminished. When it finds that compe- tition is becoming lively in the fleid which tt has heretofore monopolized we confidently look for a regencration and reform in its entire theory of newspaper management, The area of independent journalism, like the boundaries of freedom, cannot be too largely extended ; and, instead of opposing the entrance into the field so long occupied by the Hzratp, we cordially congratulate those of our contemporaries who have determined to sink party, with all its inevitable corrup- tions, and strikea bold stroke for emanci- pation. The Boston Transcript, too, with its strong administration proclivities, endorses the inde- pendent movement in favor of supporting the incoming administration of General Grant; and on the point of his enforcing civil service reform, in face of Congressional opposition, it exclaims: —‘‘Let him go into the battle fear- lessly; hosts of the people will back him.” The Transcript has scarcely ever uttered a truer sentiment. Referring to General Grant the Missouri Republican farther says: — His strength of will and firm reliance upon his own opinions may now be exercised in a legitimate are and with the consciousness of having a noble object inview. That object—the reform of our civil service—lies nearer the hearts of the American people at the “present time than any other, and whatever enmity the President may be compelled to confront in the National Legislature will be more than compensated by the hearty endorsement given him by the honest men of all parties. Should he take the proper stand in his forthcoming Measage and follow it up with appropriate action during the Winter he will enter upon his second term under as flattering auspices as pure and unseiiish ambition could desire, All that the independent press of the coun- try requires to make itself heard, known and respected in the new administration is to be outspoken and resolute in tho present junc- ture. Grant is too good a general to overlook the importance of such allics, John Hmox—The Tercentenary Cele- bration. Yesterday, three hundred years ago, in his own house in the High street of Edinburgh, died John Knox, in the sixty-seventh year of his age. During the course of the last week the tercentenary of the great .reformer was celebrated in various parts of the United States and in the New Dominion, as well as in Scotland, England and Ireland. It is not unfair to say that John Knox was the father of the Scottish Reformation and the founder of the Presbyterian Church. His name is and ought to be dear to Scotland; and Presby- terians, wherever found, are in duty bound to honor his memory. In somo respects Knox was a hard man. He wasa man of strong willand of unflinching purpose. An iconoclast in the true sense he most unquestionably was, It must at the same time be admitted that if he destroyed it was not because he loved destruc- tion, but because he wished to build a nobler edifice on surer foundations. Luther, Melanc- thon, Calvin, Latimer and others must be remembered in connection with the Reforma- tion fight in the sixteenth century, They all did good work, and their work remains behind them. One name, however, stands out in connection with the Reformation in Scotland and in connection with the history of the Presbyterian Church, and that name is John Knox. How far Presbytery is a good thing and how much Scotsmen are of value in the modern world are open questions, If, however, there be anything grand in Presby- terianism or anything good in Scotsmen, the praise and the glory must be given to ‘John Knox more than to any other man. He se- cured for his country religious liberty, and, dying, he left it as a precious legacy to his countrymen. He gave Scotland also the parish church and the parish school. The church and the school, what have they not done for Scotland? Scotland is tho native home of Prosbytery, and the Presbyterian churches on this Continent honor themselves by honoring the memory of the Scottish Re- former, the founder of Presbyterianism. After Luther Knox is the grandest name of the Refornmtion. Art in the Soudios. The visits of patrons to the studios of our native artists are becomingwaref than in past years. This isa result that could scarcely be expected, in view of the increased interest taken in art by tho general public and the large sums which are expended in the pur- chase of works of art. The tendency seems to be to look at pictures only in the well filled galleries, and to purchase them as any. other species of merchandise is bought. It is to be hoped that this departure from the older’| | and healthier custom of visiting the studios will be checked in timo before the artist is cut off from all communication with the pub- lic, This has been done to such an extent in Europe that it is almost impossible to pur- chase a work, even in the studio, without pay- ing the dealer his regular percentage. Like most other evils, this one is net with- out its advantages, but as a matter of taste we have no desire to see the system estab- lished in its entirety among us. The dealer . has his legitimate position in the world of art, and we have no desire to see him driven from it; but we should look upon itas a great mis- fortune if the public were completely to cut themselves off from the creators of the things they pay so much to enjoy. Under the influ- ence of commercial contact art is too liable to degenerate into a trade where men manufac- ture to suit a regular demand, as in other busi- ness, It is certain that the best work has been done in those periods when the artist and the patron were united in close sympathy, and when there was something more than a mere question of cash between them. It is not well that while immense sums are being expended on foreign art native art should be allowed to decay for want of a generous support.

William Stephen John Fulton, of Edinburgh, formerly of the Eighth hussars, sues Archibald William Montgomerie, Earl of Eglinton, for the Eglinton estates.

He denies the taking at Nauvoo in 1848, or at any other time or piace any oath or other obligation to obey Brigham Young or his successors in all things or in anything temporal and spiritual; and also that he ever took an oath ot disloyalty to the govern- ment of the United States.
