NOTES—Fir- (ae Heantu or tue Hoty Fataen.—Our ‘st advices from Europe give us to under- ad that the Holy Father, who for some days +80 indisposed as to cause some alarm to | friends, is recovering. The Pope has all completed his eighty-first year. For tly tweaty-seven years he has filled the ir of St. Peter. His reign has been as blows as it has been protracted. No | le Pope has ever before witnessed so many Jutions, all of which have affected more or seriously the Apostolic Chair, The Holy ver has borne his burdens bravely, It | the The Great Triumph of American Journalism As Evidenced by the Herald. For the first time since its establishment the Henatp appears to-day in a Quintuple form, containing one hundred and twenty columns, of which seventy-eight are devoted to advertisements and forty-two to news and general intelligence. This event, unpre- cedented in the history of journalism in this, and we believe in any other country, has a significance not confined to the success of a single establishment, but embracing the in- terests of the whole American press and bear- ing upon the character of the American people and upon the progress of the American nation. It shows what unexampled triumphs have already been achieved, and remain yet to be won, by the vigor and enterprise of jour- nalism in this country. It proves that a people who enjoy free institutions and among whom education and the spread of intelligence are general, are the best calculated to appreciate the advantages and avail themselves of the power of an enlightened press. It bears evidence to the rapid growth and astonishing prosperity of a nation only just recovering from the effects of a costly civil war, which its enemies and timid friends predicted and believed would end in the destruction of the government. Thus, although the Heraup reaps the direct profits of the enormous pa- tronage which so densely crowds its columns and so largely swells its circulation to-day, its wonderful success reflects credit upon the press, the people and the nation, and hence becomes a fitting theme for general congratu- lation. As we regarded the discovery of Livingstone as a triumph, not of the Henaup alone, but of American journalism, so we look upon and claim the journalistic achievement of the Heraxp to-day in a business point of view as a credit and an encouragement to the press of the whole country. A people who advertise and read are a peo- ple whose success in life is assured. Their experience, tact and intelligence teach them to appreciate independence, zeal and enterprise in journalism, and lead them to patronize such a newspaper as meets their ideas in these qualifications. We are justas certain that the Heratp would not to-day issue its one hundred and twenty columns and publish an edition of nearly one hundred and fifty thousand, if it did not deserve pub- lie confidence, as we are that sensible, practical men, would not buy brass for gold. Our advertisers come to us because they feel that by the general course and liberal manage- ment of our journal we command a large cir- cle of readers, and can thus give them a full equivalent for the money they invest in ad- They know that custom has taught every person who has a want to supply to search the advertising columns of the I for what they require; that our admirable, compact system of classifying and indexing our advertisements affords an easy refer- ence, notwithstanding ‘their enormous number, and they themselves of | opportunity, useful and profitable to both parties, to bring the buyer and the seller directly together without the aid of agents and middlemen. Now we hold it to be within the vertising. avail | reach of any independent, well conducted, | enterprising journal to achieve success in a | country that makes the Heratp what it is REALTY ! | to-day, provided it proves its just claims to these qualifications; hence it is that we regard the first appearance of our quintuple sheet as an encouragement to American journalism, and = especially as an incen- tive to a truly independent press. The city ot New York, although the metropolis of the Union and destined to be before long the metropolis of the world, does not monopolize | the business of the whole country. Cities like Chicago, Cincinnati, New Orleans, San Fran- cisco, Philadelphia, Boston and others have their large interests, their commerce and their thousands of wants just as New York has, and the telograph has made the local press a power all over the nation. There is no reason, therefore, why great journalisti should not be achieved in those cities as well as in the metropolis, and we hold up the Herap of to-day as a beacon and an encour- agement to the press of the whole nation as well as of our own city. Let public journals deserve patronage and the people will not be slow to bestow it upon them as their due reward, Shortly before the adjournment of Con- ic success gress, during the discussion in the Senate on | the Congressional printing, a Senator made a forcible contrast between the way the govern- | ment work was done and the labor expended on a daily journal, as evidenced by a copy of the Henarp, which he held in his hand. If he had then produced the HerRavp, as it appears to-day, he might well have astonished the Senate by a statement of the labor expended on the paper within the past twenty-four hours. As we have said, the | Heraup contains to-day one hundred and twenty columns of matter, of which seventy- eight are occupied with compact, solid adver- | tisements. There are in these one hundred | and twenty columns about one million ems. ‘To stereotype to-day’s edition one hundred and forty-eight plates are cast, each plate weighing thirty-eight pounds, thus making a total weight of five thousand six hundred and twenty-four pounds of metal used in stereotyping this single edition.

All this for each day’s paper, and all to be done within the space of twenty-four hours! Day and night, night and day the press, the great engine of civilization, the educator of the people, the bulwark of our free institutions, labors and toils for the people, and the appearance of the ‘Heraxp to-day is sufficient proot that the peo- ple appreciate the work when it is well and faithfully done, and are prepared to extend to it a commensurate reward. It isa general remark that the Henaup is the business barometer of Sow. Xork aud of the country at large. Its columns readily show when the people are prosperous and when business is brisk. There is at present every indication of a thriving and active trade this Spring,.for the nation was never richer than it is at the present moment. There may be tightness in the money market, over- building of railroads, over-speculation in stocks and an unsubstuntial inflation in all fancy securities; but the mass of the people are better off at this time than they have been for years, and the Summer gayeties and enjoy- ments will probably be indulged in more liberally this season than at any period since the commencement of the war. The very rise. in gold shows the wealth of the nation, for it is mainly due to our enormous importation of luxuries and costly goods, which would not come to us un- less they found a ready market. We may, therefore, point to the Huraty’s seventy-eight columns of advertisements as a subject of congratulation for the people at large and as conveying an in- spiriting and welcome sign to the whole business community. If they told only of the success of the Hrranp and of the vast patron- age it enjoys we might not have felt at liberty to make them a theme of comment. But in- asmuch as they indicate general prosperity, advancement and enterprise, we claim the right to direct public attention to them, and to comment as we have commented on the morals they point. Palm Sunday—Holy W Triumphal Entry Into Jerusalem to the Crucifixion and the Resurrection. k—From the The crowning events in the divine mission upon earth of the meek and lowly Jesus of Nazareth, including His triumphal entry into Jerusalem, His teachings in the Témple, His betrayal, His trial, sentence, crucifixion, | burial and resurrection, are commemo- rated by our Christian churches within the brief period known as Holy Week, beginning with Palm Sunday and cul- minating in the rejoicings of Easter Sun- day. This is Palm Sunday, held as the anni- versary of the Saviour’s last visit to the city | of David, when, according to the record of St. Matthew, ‘a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees and strewed them in And the multitudes that went be- fore and that followed cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David. Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest."’ St. John, in his description of the same event, says:—-‘‘On the next day much people that were come to the feast (the Jewish feast of the Passover), when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, took branches of palm trees and went forth to meet him and cried, Hosanna! Blessed is the King of Israel, that cometh in the name of the Lord!’ Hence this Christian commemora- | tion of Palm Sunday. The observances of this day come down to us from an early period in the history of the | Church. Throughout the greater part of Europe the custom was established, in the ab- sence of palm trees, of taking branches of } other trees, such as the box, yew and willow, and, being blessed by the priests after mass, they were distributed among the people, who forthwith carried them in a joyous procession, in memory of the Saviour’s triumphant entry | into the Holy City, after which they were usn- ally burned, and the ashes laid aside to be sprinkled on the heads of the congregation on | the ensuing Wednesday, with the priest's | blessing. In Rome and throughout Southern | Italy, in Southern Spain and in the Spanish republics of Mexico, Central and South America, and in Brazil and throughout the West India Islands, the palm itself is, with the lame came to him and ho healed them?”" In this day's observances of our city churches, and of all the churches of the Christian world, informed of the late awful destruction of hu- man life on the rock-bound coast of Nova Scotia, and in view of other calamities result- ing from the wickedness of mon, and against the flood of vice, demoralization and corrup- tion which threatens the shipwreck of Church and State, let us hope that the boginning of this Holy Week will be marked as the bogin- ning of a new epoch in the cause of their Di- vine Master. Is the cause of Christianity ad- vancing? Yes, among the Hindoos, the Chi- nese, the Fiji Islanders and in the kingdom of Dahomey. The Crescent is waning even on that sacred soil— Over whose acres trod those blessed feet, Which eighteen hundred years ago were nailed For our advantage on the bitier cross. We, indeed, adhere to our opinion frequently heretufore advanced, that Christianity, with the potential forces of modern science which it commands, is destined to cover tho earth “as the waters covor the great deep.’ But looking immediately aroynd us we have little cause for vain boasting over the triumphs or progress of modern Christianity. While we are converting the heathen in the South Sea Islands we are forgetting the heathen at our own doors. John Randolph, when in Con- gress, was once startled by the reading of a bill for the relief of the Greeks, when, spring- ing to his feet, he* exclaimed, ‘‘The Greeks, Mr. Speaker, the Greeks! We have them here, sir, and what are you doing for them?’’ Looking eastward from the heights of Ho- boken on a clear morning New York appears, more than Brooklyn, a city of churches. Walking down Fifth avenue on a bright April Sunday afternoon the stranger would pronounce our goodly metropolis a city of saints and angels in broadcloth, silks and satins; but a look in the ‘Tombs and a glance at our criminal ‘calendar will dispel this pleasing delusion. How far are our Christian churches responsible for this criminal calendar of our city and for this reign of demoralization, corruption, extrava- gance and general wickedness throughout the land? How far have our Christian teachers failed in their duties in this connection? These are matters for their serious considera- tion this blessed day of the Saviour's popular welcome to Jerusalem. The people welcomed Him as their prophet and their teacher, be- cause He placed Himself, not above them, but among them, and adapted His divine instruc- tions to the simplest hearer. How far shall we trace His example in this day's sermons on Fiith avenue ? ‘The truth is that our Christian churches are dozing and dreaming while the wicked world around them is wide awake and fear- fully active. Palm Sunday is a good day for a new departure by our preachers and teachers of the Gospel, and for a new resolution and renewed zeal and activity, extending beyond Fifth avenue to the highways and byways, and from the elect to the poor sheep that are astray. Oh! ye Christian teachers, be ex- horted to devote this day as the beginning of an enlarged humility, charity and activity in the cause of Christ, or all your fine sermons to your drowsy congregations will be but ‘‘as the sounding brass and the tinkling cymbal.”” The Clerical Mero of the Atlantie. When horrors such as_the wreck of the At- Jantic come before us we can at times distin- guish the highest attributes of manhood rising amid the gloom of death to make known the kinship of man to our ideals of the divine. The rock that shivers the stately ship, the vessel that breaks upon the rock, the water that swallows, the hurricane that tosses the waters are things material and insensible. Man alone amid all “the horrid war of winds and waters raging’’ can stand out from the infernal surroundings with a gleam of the god- like on his brow. Sudden disasters, like revo- | lutions, produce their heroes from unexpected | sources. They are tossed up by the waves, as it were, and the world can admire, although it may not understand. That one of the heroes of the wreck of the Atlantic should prove to be an Episcopal clergyman, Mr. Ancient, ought not astonish any one; but because of the very fitness of the man’s profession for his self-abnegation, his courage in a good cause, his devotion to the Master's doctrine of charity, many will find cause for wonder. That in the most gallant manner he risked his various peculiar devotions, sacredly dis- tinguished in this day's observances of the Roman Catholic Church. In Brazil, for ex- ample, where nearly all the Church festivals are commemorated as public holidays, more or less, Holy Week is especially attractive to the stranger from the remarkable | forms and manifestations which are embraced in the celebration of Palm Sunday; of the treachery (Spy Wednesday) and hanging of Judas; of Maundy Thursday, on which day the pious followers of the Redeemer endeavor to imitate His humility, as illustrated in His washing of the feet of His disciples; of Good Friday; of Holy Saturday, and of Easter Sun- day. It may be said, too, that in these dra- matic Church observances of South America there is something too much of fantastical display and simple superstition; but who would deny to those simple people their trusting faith in the usages of their Church until assured that He could give them some- thing better? It was one of the greatest ideas | of the great Napoleon that above all other things to be respected is the religion of a people. In Great Britain, the United States, and in other countries where the people have be- come divided among many churches, we find the observances and the festivals even of the Catholic Church more or less modified from the general pressure of the material forces of our modern civilization ; though in New York, in London and in Rio Janeiro the faith of the Catholic, in all essentia still the same. We find, too, that while in New York, as else- where, the Catholi¢ Church is still di guished above all others in its music, pictures, flowers, decorations, ceremonials, the Protestant Episcopal Church is gradually anlarging its recognition of ob- jects and forms and ceremonies which appeal to the eye, the ear and the imagination as cal- vestments and imposing | culated to soften and refine the heart of the spectator in the cause of religion, And why not, since the meek and lowly Teacher from Nazareth passed from His triumphal pro- cession into the splendid temple of the Jews, where, after purging it of the money changers, | but gave up His life for His flock. | man, life a dozen times to save the lives of others ; that he was first in the boat to rescue the last man from his slow agony in the frozen rig- ging, when men used to the terrors of the deep shrunk back from the task, places him in the front rank of those rare heroes that the world can praise and admire without a single detracting breath. He was a clergyman, men may say, and self-sacrifice is the great rule under which he had registered his lite; His Master, the Great Shepherd, not only risked It would follow naturally from this that his heroism | arose only from a sensitive appreciation of his | duty to God, to himself and to his fellow The world, however, will rightly rate his heroism as something higher than mere bounden duty. Sorrowfully we have been made to feel that those from whom most was to be expected have often fallen shortest in performance. The Teacher preached His greatest sermons from Gethsemane and Cal- vary. ‘The first showed how deeply He felt the bitterness of the cnp before Him; the second how sublimely He drained it to the dregs, But teachers in His name are little looked to to-day for either the sensitiveness or the sacrifice. Vain show, soft pillows without a thorn, and softer, weaker ways have become so much the rule that a live, practical fol- lower of Christ comes even from the ranks of the ministry as a surprise. The Rev. Mr. Ancient has merited this high praise, and we turn with hearty relief to his noble con- duct at the wreck from contemplating in sorrow and anger the effeminate lives and the lisping prayers of so many of his clerfcal brethren. The Goodrich Mystery. Light slowly appears in the puzzle of Charles Goodrich’s death. Testimony before the Coroner yesterday shows such scenes in the Degraw street den ot shame as must have prepared those who were cognizant-of them for any tragical and fatal end to a career of surprising depravity. To speak no ill of the dead is a rule from which it is never pleasing to deviate; but no one can view the character rence. Long acid laboriously he had planted the seed, in duplicity aitd sneaking guilt, of which his dead body, found @ gloomy basement by a confiding brother,.wad the natural har- vest." A disgraceful intimacy with an aban- doned and violent woman’ had brought the hypocrite into a situation where his crime was likely to be exposed to those’ whose good opinion he dosired to retain. The haysh method he took to break with her produecd a storm of passion and threats of terrible vea- geance. She may haye been the slayer of her partner in depravity, or some other of his many intrigues may have brought about the bloody catastrophe. No one now wonders at his end, Public interest is simply concerned in proving precisely who fired the balls which puta period to his life. Brooklyn's detect- ives are baffled by 8 common woman, whose name and hiding place must be known to many, and who, probably, has no means for flight. Will they rest under the imputation of inability to produce one who is known to have been familiar with the house, and who, from the evidence, appears fully capable of seeking revenge by the most desperate means? The Crime of the Atlantic Wreck. As the full particulars of the wreck of the White Star steamship are brought to light our strongest opinions of the criminality of the loss and all that led to it are confirmed. Our first opinion that to the inhuman rapacity of those who direct the line the terrible catastro- phe was due is.sustained. We donot in this exonerate Captain Williams in the slightest degree. He actually lost the ship; but the grasping of those who crowded the ship with passengers while lessening her fuel is in the highest degree culpable. We shall strike first at these offenders, in whose hands yet lies the power to send ships of the White Star line to sea so parsimoniously supplied that the lives of thousands will be imperiled to save a few pitiful shekels for the Shylock owners. We concluded in our first editorial on the ship- wreck that the provisions were doubtless sup- plied on as miserly a scale as the coal, and among the first of Captain Williams’ apologies for turning his ship’s head to Halifax is that on the 31st March, when only eleven days out, “the chief steward also reported the stores short; fresh provisions enough for the sa- loon for two days and but salt for the steerage for two days, when all but bread and rice would beout.”’ When only eight days out the coal was reported short. On the 31st there were but one hundred and twenty-seven tons leit, with four hundred and sixty miles of heaving sea between the Atlantic and Sandy Hook. What can be said of these things? Indignation will not express in the faintest degree the feeling that will rise in the community to denounce such unparalleled avarice, Eleven days out, in a season when a passage of from fourteen to twenty days may be expected, and fuel and provisions left for only two days! We are hor- rified when we think of the carelessness, neg- ligence and incompetence that were combined to bring about the disaster on Meagher’s Rock ; but we are terrified to think that the parsi- mony which directed the outfit of this vessel may again endanger thousands of lives. An accident to the serew in mid-ocean might, in the starvation that would ensue, have made the Atlantic a floating charnel house, whose lingering horrors we cannot attempt to describe, were she even able under sail to weather the storm. The sudden swoop of death as the ship lay heeling over in the freez- ing waters off Cape Prospect were better a | hundred times than the death which would come by degrees through hunger to the thou- sand passengers of the ship in mid-ocean. No number of successful trips made under similar circumstances, no amount of profit snatched through such affrighting risks, would make the possibility of such an accident a whit the less. It is a diabolical game with death, ‘where death must win’’ sooner or later, and we wish the public to be under no misappre- hension as to those who play it and who profit | by it. When Captain Williams intro- duced the shortness of coal and the | paucity of provisions as reasons deter- mining him to run to Halifax he was, perhaps, unconscious that he was fixing a chain of guilt about the necks of those who, with him- self, were responsible for the miserably crimi- | nal shortcomings in the outfit of the over- crowded ship. The owners telegraph to their | agent here that the diversion to Halifax is ‘4{ncomprehensible’’ to them. Were they so blinded by the success of previous parsimony that failure in any shape to win on the dread- ful hazard was ‘‘ncomprehensible?’’ ‘The | long, narrow ship beating her bows in against the rocks will tell them that the laws of God and man cannot be set at naught. They have lost this time, and the execration of mankind will tell them how much. From this criminal meanness, the most des- picable in along roll of such things, we can turn for a moment to its awful effects, Pity and compassion have wept all that humanity can weep over the forsaken women and abandoned little darlings left by strong men to die amid the icy breakers, Sympathy and charity are doing for the living all that can now be done, Even here, however, ac- cusation against the agents is heard. On the chief actor in the tragedy all eyes are turned. The world now knows that he was out of his reckoning. He had never been on that iron-bound coast before. Except the third officer neither Captain nor mates had been in Halifax. He took no soundings, nor did he order any, ‘‘because the night was clear.”’ He was on deck at twenty minutes past twelve, and left orders to be awakened at three, The ship was running at twelve knots an hour towards destruction, and no lookout seems to have been kept. Were all the watch asleep? Captain Williams says:—‘From the state of the weather when I came on deck, I think the white snow line of the shore would be visible at a distance of from | two to three miles."’ There can be no doubt | of this; but, says the chief officer, “no | sort of warning was given” until the shock of | the impact on the rocks roused everybody to the situation. The second officer perished, and he cannot answer here for his crime. The fourth officer, whose turn of duty it also was, must tell us why no sound of thundering surf was heard, no white ling of breakers, no white snow line of the shore was seen before striking.
