acta lee tte in principle of oceanic equiliprium maintained by vonstant progress of the tepid tropical waters Into the frozen zone, as a surface flow, and the return thence of the heavy and cold columns ‘of polar water, as an underflow, may be now gegarded as an established law of the sea. For this we are largely indebted to the labori- ‘ous investigations of the distinguished scientist wmontioned ; butit is to be greatly regretted that no attempts are made to settle the many | ingresa details of the great oceanic problem. e have numerous opportunities for Gulf Btream surveys, but our knowledge of the waters that bathe our own sea front has scarcely eoeived the slightest addition since the time of Bache. The Shearwater, an English gov- nment vessel, was placed at the service of r. Carpenter in 1871 for the scientific re- Bearches we have noticed. Why cannot some pf our navy vessels be put at the service of pompetent American investigators to examine ithe phenomena of the Atlantic near our own Bhores? Religion: Positives and Negatives Con- sidered—Views of the Pulpits Yester- day. Our budget of sermons to-day presents less pf the sensational than sometimes falls to our Jot to report. The discourses are, for the most of a doctrinal or a practical character. he froth and flourish that occasionally adorn em are also, to some extent, missing, and ere were a good many things said so plain at even a child can understand them. " Rev. Henry Powers talked about experi- ental religion, and showed how impossible it for us to rightly understand the Scriptures to interpret them truly, since we cannot put uurselves in the-place of the writers. Our pre- ions, our prejudices of nature, nation, ¢ and particular school of thought unfit us for correct understanding of the thoughts and ords of Oriental writers. Mr. Powers demon- ptrated that a spiritual preparation is needed ‘for the discernment and appropriation of spir- tual truth. “Mankind, in their relation to the ospel, are classified as spiritual, natural and earnal, and it is the aim of the preaching of the Gospel to win men from the last two to the Birst of these classes. But the Gospel would be comparatively Powerless to affect human hearts did it not re- Weal to us a divine Saviour. Hence it was the Bim and purpose'of Dr. Foss yesterday to pre- ent the, proofs of Christ’s divinity as collected from the Scriptures and from contempo_ Faneous history.. The growth of Christianity, despite the persecutions of the first three cen- turies of the Christian era, is substantial evi- dence that it is of God, and there is no power Jn infidelity to withstand the strength of Chris- fian argument. And Christianity is now and has been for ages, figuratively, if not literally, yooking coffins, as the Doctor remarked, for its enemies. ' The very best argument that can be given favor of Christ and His religion as being ivine are the consistent lives, the godly walk nd conversation of believers. Paul declared hat the Corinthian Christians were his epis- Wes, known ond read of all men. And in elu- ‘idating this idea Mr. Hepworth declared truly iat every man is a book in himself, and the hole world is but library. Thore are men hose lives are false and who are in the Book f Life as illustrations of selfishness or avarice personal ambition. There are others whose ives are pure and show plainly enough what jt is to possess Christ. The difference which -pxists between morality and true religion was jointed out by Mr. Hepworth, who also iliarly illustrated the oft unconscious near- ess to us of God’s spirit, whose help we need take the step that shall bring us from dark- ess into light and from the power of Satan to God. While Christianity is universally adapted to oe race, it is peculiarly adapted td the indi- idual soul. There is a personality in it which * very other form of religion lacks, and it was ithe effort of Rev. Mr. Ball yesterday to pre- ent this personal idea so clearly that his con- tion cduld apprehend it, each for him- jeelf. And, as Mr. Ball declared, “we cannot ppreciate the greatness of the mission of the Bovirit unless we keep Christ in His personality Pefore our eyes. Just in proportion as we exalt Christ and acknowledge Him as our Lord jand Master we realize the power and truth of the Gospel.” The neglect of this principle has waused all the dissensions and divisions which ve been the bane of the Christian Church. hrist should always stand higher than sect or \preed in the hearts of believers. Is religion a system of conventional distine- tions? Dr. Chapin declared yesterday that it is. 4 may be that, but it is also very much more. t is the life and power of God in human souls, jither with or without conventional distinc- ficos And Christ came to bring this life and wer to the sinful rather than to the faithful ‘who lived in His time. To the Scribes and harisees, therefore, in the days of His flesh, is consorting with the sinful and the vile was proof positive that He was no better than Bhey. Hence, the Doctor argued, ‘‘we should not judge alone by actions, for it is intentions that we are accountable for.”’ Is death a gain? asked Mr. Clark yesterday, and applied himself to answer the question. We should say that to some it is, but to others Ve a dead loss. Paul declared thet for him die was gain, and others after him have felt mething of the inspiration of his words, and ave met thesapproach of the “King of Poerrors’’ calmly and triumpantly. ‘‘Chris- Mianity,"’ Mr. Clarke remarked, “is a spiritual andelier, every lamp in its blazing galaxy Neatiog its light to the brightness of all the wrest. The doctrine of immortality is based on intuitions as ineradicable as human nature, end scientific scepticism is neutralized by sci- tific revelations.’ Death is a gain in what it leads to, and in the restraints it throws round us here, in the new sanctions it gives Qo right living and the props it puts behind a ewavering will. In the Catholic churches yesterday the feast of the “Purification of the Blessed Virgin” ‘was commemorated. The origin and position of this feast in the Church were fully and clearly set forth by Rev. Father Farrelly in the Cathedral. In the course of his sermon Jhe met the question of obedience to God squarely enough to make the heurer and the Weader understand that “the worship of God fs not enough,” but that “devotion to the Dlessed Virgin” is also necessary. And again, {that ‘devotion to all the laws of the Church ‘acd the blessed Virgin is thé bee which will ‘discover the true from the artificial in the practice of religion.”’ Father Flvan took from the lesson of the NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1873.—TRIPLE SHEET. day—the storm on the Sea of Galilee calmed .by the Saviour—two ideas, which he pressed upon the attention of his hearers, The first was that the disciples went to Jesus, and the second that they prayed. ‘Lord save us! we perish!’ they cried. Our condition on the sea of life being very similar to theirs we must take similar steps if we would have the storms allayed and find peace and rest to our souls. According to remarks made yesterday by the Rev. Eugene Cassidy the Catholics of Brooklyn are determined to maintain their own schools, whether they obtain State aid or not, rather than have their children educated in the godless public schools. Rev. Mr. Chadwick, of Brooklyn, told his people yesterday some things about Confucius and the Chinese religion, which may be of use to them when John makes his way from the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific slope toward the Atlantic seaboard. Mr. Beecher presents a chapter of light read- ing to-day on some points of difference and con- trast between emotional and practical religion. He is evidently fecding his congregation on milk, probably for the reason that Paulassigned tor a like practice on his part—that they are not able to bear meat, they being yet weak in the faith. Mr. Beecher illy conceals his lack of faith in religious revivals or in emotional religion, and endeavors inferentially to weaken the faith of his people in such ecstatic expres- sions of the power of divine grace on human souls, Nevertheless, our columns from week to week give good evidence of the spread.of emotional religion and the conversion of many hundreds of souls all over our land. The Debt Increasing and Jobs Abundant. The increase of the public debt the last two months, and for the last month over four hundred thousand dollars, will naturally lead people to inquire the cause of that, especially as heretofore the debt has been paid off at the rate of nearly a hundred millions a year. First, then, there have been great and unusual disbursements from the Treasury recently. Then the reduction of taxation has brought down the income of the government. Even .with ordinary current disbursements we need not expect such a rapid extinguishment of the debt as we have witnessed from year to year since the war closed. Not that taxation is sufficiently reduced or that more economy ought not to be practised by the government. If we may judge from the recommendations of the President in his Message to Congress, and from the many schemes’ to draw money from the Treasury,: we have reached the limit of economy, while the people will not tolerate any increase of taxation, but will, no doubt, demand a further reduction. In addition to having to pay the interest on Pacific Railroad bonds, which is outside of the current and proper expenses of the government, there are a great many other jobs being pressed to swallow up millions a year. It is evident, therefore, that there is danger of the Treasury becoming embarrassed before long, unless Congress cuts down appropriations and sets its face against all jobs and the administra- tion becomes more economical.

Judge William West, of the Ohio Supreme Court, has resigned, and is to be succeeded by Judge Stone, of Sandusky. “Go, West!" The Buffalo Courier congratulates the city of New York upon its good fortune in securing Henry M. Janes, of Buffalo, as Port Warden. This is on the principle of “small favors thankfully received.”” Can it be said that the Chicago police are insur- genta simply because they are not inclined to obey the orders of the sergeants who have been detailed to command them in lieu of their reguiar captains? * Republican papers are powerfully pummelling poor Pomeroy. He was once regarded by them as “@ man and a brother,” the peer of any Southern |* negro field hand. reverence.” “A Bohemian Girl” in Washington suggests that Senator Patterson prepare himself for the rdle of the Count in the opera of the “Crédit Mobilier” and post himself in the solo of “The Fair Land of (Judge) Poland.” The Washington Star does not believe that United States Senator Pomeroy gave $3,000 to State Sena- tor York, but, if he did, it was to “accomplish some good,”’ or, a8 Oakes Ames wou!d phrase it, “the most good.” A Massachusetts temperance bigot (or spigot) says the customers ot Bass, the English brewer, have got ahead of him being knighted, for they have been be-nighted ever since they commenced drinking his beverage. Mr. Bonar, the English Plenipotentiary in Swit zerland, lately attempted to rescue a lady who had broken through tke ice at Berne. He and several others were aise precipitated into the water and with difficulty saved. The St. Paul Despatch reports that £60,000 has been left by Elizabeth Illingworth, of England, to William INingworth, a St. Paul watchmaker, who recently died without knowing the fortune in store for him in this world or the next. A Western paper acknowledges the receipt of a Chicago sheet called Heavenly Tidings, asking an exchange. It denies the request for the reason that it is “not in the habit of looking to Chicago as the source of tidings of that nature.” Colonel William Phillips, of Pittsburg, President of the Adleghany Valley Railroad ; J. C. Short, Pres- ident of the Paris and Danville Railroad, and F. E. Hinckley, President of the Chicago and Iewa Cen- tral Railroad, are at the St. Nicholas Hotel. When a Western paper announced that the daughter of an American Ambassador abroad is the “financier” of a foreign nobleman it probably meant flancée, But the mistake is quite natura; and entirely excusable. She will be his dnancier sometime. “You are appointed a member of the Constitu- tional Convention sitting here—John A. Dix,” is the fall text of the communication notifying Joseph B, Hall, Catskill, of said appointment. This equals in brevity that , famous order—‘If any man hauls,” &c. President Grant lately sent to two youths of Berne, Switzerland, a collection of our postage stamps, in response to @ courteeus request. The President said he would like to have gathered the stamps himself, but as he was too busy his youngest son had done it. European toadies are in ecstasics over this piece of simplicity. Republican papers are rather chary of their praise of Mr. Ingalls, Senator elect from Kansas in piace of Pomeroy. They burned their fingers by praising the virtues of Senator Caldwell trem the @ame State in advance. Alas! for the good old days when the people exclaimed, in view of the danger of corruption or distionesty in the lower House, “Look vo the Senate!” Now “none so poor to do him DEEP SEA TELEGRAPHS.

What the English in St. Petersburg Think of the Chances, The English residents in St. Petersburg have already commenced to perceive an inkling of the prevalence of the Prussian sentiment, which is set forth in our Berlin despatch, in favor of the Rus- Sian policy in Central Asia, The British writers Oppose it, of course, and at the same time call attention to the power and force of their nation. An English letter, dated in St. Petersburg a few days since, refers to the subject in the following words :— Thave no hestitation in asserting my belief that, if Russia realy contemplates an immediate advance in Central Asia, she will be content to “take her chance” of any serious opposition on the part of England. Protocols and protests , may Preach in vain to a State whose leading critics inculcate such doctrines as these :—“The Crimean war was a mistake which cannot occur again. England is a commercial State, and commerce is the true sntidote to war.” History might teach these optim that the bloodiest aud most hard-lought struggies of modern times have been waged by such sibewend “commercial States’ as Britain, Genoa, Holland and the United States of America; but all this is overlooked.

Daughter and Then Himself. “NAUGHTY PAPA DONE IT.” A Terrible Crime and a Terrible Result. The Circumstances of the Horrible Tragedy— Gracie Mable Love the Name of the Little Victim—Mrs. Love's Story of the Murder and Suicide. Boston, Feb, 2, 1873, Another of those cases of murder followed by the suicide of the murderer has just been enacted in this city. The murderer and suicide is a man named Alfred 0, Love, and his victim is his little daughter, only four years of age. For some time past Mrs, Love and her child bave boarded or had @ room at No. 8 Bennet street, their tenement being up stairs, and here it was that the tragedy was committed. It was the intention of Mrs. Love to take her child to Bridgewater on Saturday atter- noon, where it would be safe from molestation by the husband, who, by the way, has been rather dissolute of late and failed to provide fer the support of his family. While she was making arrangements to this end, the husband called at .the house, and the landlady, suspecting who-he was, spoke to Mrs. Love, Who came to the door, and her husband went up stairs. By THE WOMAN'S STORY they appear to have had considerable talk about their affairs, the purport of which was that he wanted the child, to which she objected in toto, They were about ready to go away, and the three came down from the third to the second story, the father leading, or carrying, the little girl, and the wife close behind, While in one of the back reoms, on the second floor, the husband expressed a desire to go to the depot with his wife and child, bu@ she re- fused, thinking he would try to steal the little one. While the mother’s head was turned fora moment the father somehow drew the child into the narrow entry, and, drawing a concealed pistol, SHOT HIS DAUGHTER IN THE HEAD. The flend then darted tuto the large front room, where he buried the contents of two barrels of the Same pistol in his own brain, and fell to the floor, fatally wounded. The mother was Stricken with terror at the sight of her leeding child, but with the assistance of the people inthe house and below it was taken into the kitchen and an attempt made to stop the. flow of blood from the wound. A physician was sent for and rendered such aid as he could to the little suf- ferer and then took her to the City Hospital him- self, The father meanwhile was lying in his blood, his stentorious breathing evincing that life still re- tained its hold, but in the opinion of those present his spirit was passing slowly but surely from its tenement of clay to confront its Creator at the great tribunal above. His stay on earth was but brieg THE TRAGIC DEED in which he was such a prominent actor took place at half-past three o’clock, and at five, an hour arid @ half later, the unfortunate man was cold in death, The child rallied a little before being taken to the hospital, and ina short time gave, in feeble but mourntully musical tones, a brief description of what had occurred, saying that “NAUGHTY PAPA DONE IT with something like a gas pipe. It made a big noise and hurt Gracie ever so much;” and tuen the little black eyes closed wearily, a nervous twitching of the colorless lips took place, the marble brow wrinkled pain{ully, the diminutive hands closed convulsively, and a shiver went all over the infautile frame, swaying it as the Autumn breeze moves a field of waving wheat. The sight Was a sad one, and to the eyes of the strong men present the tears started, and were allowed to low unchecked. The ball has not been extracted, and not the least hope is entertained of her recovery. She will probably die during the night. MRS. LOVE'S STATEMENT. Mrs. Love states that though her husband was a shiftiess and a strange-acting man, he was not addicted to the use of intoxicating liquors and she never knew of his drinking. If it had been jeal- ousy which incited the deed it would be supposed that he would have made an attempt upon her life, as he had ample opportunity to do; but nothing of the kind was attempted, nor did he make any threats at that time of personal violence, either upon her- or the child. The first intimation she had of any such thing as that he was armed was hearing the shot and seeing the result. Whatever was his idea it was a dastardly and an inhuman act; but he has paid the penalty with his own worthless life. The child’s name is Gracie Mabel Love—a sweet name, indeed—and she Is said to have been a remarkably precocious girl, and quite handsome, The murderer was a French Canadian, and was about forty-five years old, His wife is a fine-look- ing woman, only about twenty-three years of age. CHILD MURDER. A Sickening Boston Horror—An Infant Killed by Its Mother and the Body Con: cealed in a Bag—The Face of the Child Eaten by Vermin. Boston, Feb. 2, 1873. A young unmarried woman named Barrett, from Nova Scotia, has been arrested in Somerville for ‘the murder ef her infant child. The remains were found concealed in a bag in the house of the family in which she was employed. A hole had been made through the bag by vermin, which had dis- figured the face of the catid by eating a portion of the forehead and right cheek, leaving one eyeball bare. The aie hand and wrist had also been eaten, rendering the corpse a repulsive sight. ‘The young woman not only denies the crime of mur- ane the child, but declares that she is not its mother. SUSPECTED POISONING CASE. Mysterious Death of Two Men, Father and Son—Arrest of the Wife and Mother on Suspicion. St. Louis, Mo., Feb, 2, 1873, George Schumann died suddenly at Peoria, Il, in November last. His life was insured for $2,000, which sum was paid to Mrs. Schumann, On Friday night last Henry Schumann, the Only son, mysteri- ously died, exhioiting symptoms of having been oisoned.

PoWelder, with whom, it is alleged, Mrs. Schu- mann sustained improper reiations, were arrested on suspicion of having poisoned the husband to obtain the insurance and the son to secure some real estate jeft him by his father. A post-mortem of the boy’s body was made seater lay, and the case will be reported on Wedmesday, ‘after the. stomach has been examined, } OBITUARY. Charles E. Bleecker. Charles E. Bleecker, ex-Mayor of Albany, dted’at his residence in that city on the evening of the Sixt of January, from the effects of a protracted idness, which terminated in dropay of the heart. He was the son of Gerritt Sieecker, one of the best known of the earlier citizens of Albany, and was. born im that city in 1826. The father long served. as 4.\der- man.

Peter Falthof and Cornelius Minchin, two noted scamps of the “‘jimmy’’ profession, are. now safely lodged in the jail at Newark, charged with having perpetrated no less than nine difierent burglaries during the past few months. Among the first prncey they went through, as 18 alleged, was St. Barnabas’ Hospital laundry.
