What the soldiers think of this latest form of benevo- lence is well expressed by General Sheridan in his despatch calling the aitention of the War Department to the matter.

EXIT NOBIL- NEWS — FLEETWOOD HE CALEDONIAN SPORTS AT notorious as The Vienna Exposition—The Emperor Francis Joseph in the American De- partment—The Herald Correspondence. Our readers will remember that on the 23d of July last we printed a despatch from Vienna special to the Herald, giving a brief but graphic account of the visit which had been paid the day previous to the American department of the Exhibition by the Emperor | Francis Joseph, This morning we supple- ment that despatch by an exhaustivo letter from the pon of our special correspondent at Vienna. It has been our desire since the Exhibition was first talked of to enable our readers to enjoy this latest World’s Exhi- bition without incurring the expense of a transatlantic trip or the inconveniences of continental tryel. If through our columns the poor man, who has not been able to visit Vienna, has found it possible to form his opinion of the Exhibition, as well as the rich man, who has found it convenient to spend both time and money, our purpose ig fulfilled. The opening day was a day of great interest to all the world, and the Hxnanp of May 2 revealed our anxious desire to serve the American public. After the opening day interest’ on this side of the Atlantic naturallly centred on the American department. We were the fiist to lament the backwardness in which that department was found, and it is a source of gratification to us to know that our com- plaints led to improved management and made it possible for the Amorican department to enjoy the honor of the imperial visit, To- day we put it in the power of our readers to take their place in the Exhibition, to join, so to speak, the imperial party, and to inspect, section by section, the products of the Ameri- can mine, of the American soil, of American science and of American art. On the morning of the 22d of July, accom- panied by Baron Schwarz-Sanborn, Count Bellgarde and the Minister of Police, but without any ostentatious display, the Emperor Francis Joseph, clad in the uniform of an Austrian field marshal, arrived at the en- trance to the Exhibition building and was received by Mr. Garretson, Chief Commis- sioner from the United States; Mr. Jay, United States Minister, Mr. McElrath and others. The Emperor, having entered the American department, was struck at once with the character and variety of the products of the New World beyond the seas. His at- tention was first called to certain specimens of the photographic art; and the perfect man- ner in which the features of some of our well known citizens were portrayed at once com- manded his admiration. It has often been said that American skies were more skilful than American painters; and whether Francis Joseph knew the saying or not, we have no doubt that before he had made an end of the inspection of the department he was fully con- vinced of its truth, This we say notwith- standing the fact that immediately afterwards pictures of some of the great wonders of the United States called forth his amazement. It was in an album that His Majesty beheld the marvellous natural phenomena of the Yellow- stone region—phenomena which called forth the expression, ‘Very wonderful !’’ Our cor- | respondent well says that the chromo section is the bright particular spot of what j might be called the desert exhibition ot American industry, art and_ science. With the chromos the Emperor was greatly pleased, and said:—‘America has made more progress than any other country in chromo-lithography."" From the chromos the imperial party passed to the national bank section. Here the Emperor had much edmiration to express and many ques- tions toask. ‘It is very beautifal, it is very beautiful,’ he said, while examining one par- | ticular note. It has long been said in Europe that Americans surpassed all other people in their mechanical genius. It was in this de- partment that the United States was expected to shine. It was most natural, therefore, that here the Emperor’s attention should be ar- rested. Time was spent examining photo- graphic apparatus, pumps and various other specimens of American ingenuity, but the sewing machines, with the beautiful maidens at their tasteful tasks, seemed most to delight the imperial mind. With one piece of work which he was shown he was particularly pleased, and, after examining it with care, he handed it back with a compliment to the blushing seamstress, who will, no doubt, re- member that compliment with pride to her dying day. The energy and enterprise of our | people were impressed upon the Emperor by a map of the Northern Pacific Railroad. Here isa people, he felt, who know no difficulties. Distance does not hinder, and moun- tains are no barriers. Time would fail | and space forbids us to follow the Emperor from section to section of the American de- partment. He saw specimens of our mineral wealth from the mines of Pennsylvania, of Michigan, of Tennessee, of Illinois and of In- diana. He saw specimens of our wines, and of our whiskey, one hundred yearsold. He saw specimens of our oils, mineral, animal and vegetable. Models of American schools, American books and American news- papers were therein abundance. The doings at | Hell Gate were exhibited and illustrated; and as he looked on and wondered the Emperor exclaimed, ‘What tremendous feats en- gineering accomplishes in your country!"’ Two of our cities seek distinction at the Exhibition. | Cincinnati glories in her pork culture, and | Philadelphia is pleased to exhibit her natural | charms and to indicate her tasteful develop- ment. With the Exhibition, we suppose, we ought to be well pleased, more'or Jess, since it has on the whole commanded the approbation of an Emperor, the chief of great States and the heir of a great name, as wellas the head of one of the most ancient, if not the most cul- tured, families in Europe. After having finished his tour of inspection, and when about to retire, the Emperor, addressing the American representatives, said:—“For im- provements and new inventions and general progress in machinery, since the last Exposi- tion, it does not seem that America has been surpassed by any country represented in the building.’’ When regret was expressed by Mr. Jay and Mr. Garretson that the Exhibition did the nation so little justice, the Emperor re- joined :~ ‘Well, America makes here a more varied display than in any previous foreign exposition. Beyond this, what is evident from all we see, is that the workmen in America are thinking men, that your labor seems to'be inspired by a constant, high and active mtelli- gence.” We take pleasure in repeating these words, because, considering the source from which they come, Ahey embody a compliment than which no higher was ever paid to repub- lican America, They are well fitted to make us proud—proud of our achievements and proud of our national history. They reflect credit on our civil and re- ligious liberty and cast a halo of glory around our public schools. They are words of encouragement, but they ought not to make us vain. We have done well, but wo ought to have done better. We have accom- plished much, but our achievements have not been equal to our great advantages and our high opportunities, A vast and unconquered territory in art, science and literature still lies before us. Rest is not yet our privilego; work is our duty. Nobler efforts will be rewarded by nobler results, and, if true to our mission, American freedom will yet conquer the world. Another opportunity is close at hand, and it will be to our shame and lasting disgrace if the Centennial Exposition of 1876 is not worthy of a great country and a great people. The Papal Allocution and the Pope’s Defence of the Rights of the Church. The Allocution which was delivered by the Sovereign Pontiff, Pope Pius the Ninth, to the Cardinals of the Church in the hall of the Vatican on the 25th of July is published in eatenso in our columns, The Holy Father re- mains singulerly vigorous in his apostolic ex- pression of the many misfortunes which have fallen on the fold of late years, ahd is equally animated in his denunciation of the influonces, agencies and powers which he regards as the source of her sorrow and executive of the works which cause grief and promote scandal in the universal congregation, He exhibits no disposition to temporize with or arrange—as it is termed in the fashion- able parlance of a crude philosophy—matters with the lay power of Italy which finds itself enthroned at the Quirinal. The aged Pontiff, on the contrary, denounces the Ecclesiastical Properties Confiscation bill of the Italian Par- liament in plain language, and concludes by pronouncing all action which may be taken under its provisions as null and void, besides issuing the fiat of major excommunication against all who approve or sanction the enact- ment—commissioners, promoters, counsellors, adherents or purchasers, The words of the Pope will exercise a vast moral influence over the minds of millions of people in every quarter of the globe. That they shall be made known urbi et orbis he has observed a zealous care by the insertion in the body of the Allocution of a direct appeal or command to the vast and disciplined hier- archal cohorts of the Church, from the most elevated dignitaries to the most humble priest of the sanctuary, directing them to take means for its promulgation, to see to it that the seed shall not perish by the wayside. Then comes from the lips of the Holy Father a solemn and, under the circum- stances, significant acknowledgment of his personal mortal fallibility. He refers to the approach of the moment when the chair of Peter will be again vacant. We do net recol- lect to have read in any of his previous apos- tolic pronouncements a direct reference to this eventful contingency ; none, at least, so pithy and affecting as the present. The sun- set of life may have afforded him the power of ‘mystical lore,’ and in this spirit he an- nounces that the ‘‘persecutors of the Church here (in Italy) and abroad seem to be con- certing their plots and joining their forces for the utter smothering of the exercise of ecclesiastical jurisdiction and, to give a spec- ial instance, perhaps to interfere with the free election of him who is to sit as the Vicar of Christ in this Chair of Peter.’ The enemies of the Holy See are thus warned that the principle, at least, of their strategy is known to the members of the Sacred Con- sistory, and that the Head of the Church is not by any means intimidated, however he may be grieved, at the prospect of its ap- pliance. A Consistory Council has already been held in Rome, from which it is expected will come many important appointmehts of prelates of the Church. The Gold Premium in France and the United States, France, it is said, will soon resume specie payments, though, in fact, suspension has been little more than nominal in that coun- try. The people there have hardly known that specie payments were suspended, so small has been the premium on specie and s0 little the difference between gold and paper. Through all the terrible disasters and enor- mous cost of the war with Germany and of the Commune, with the thousand million dol- lars of indemnity to pay Germany, and hay- ing before all this a national debt nearly equal to that of the United States at present, the premium on gold never went up much, and to-day is only a fraction of one per cent. The United States has been eight years at peace, has paid off all the floating indebtedness of the war and over five hundred millions of debt besides, and is beyond all question the richest country in resources and industry in the world, and yet the gold premuim remains at fifteen per cent and above. Why this difference be- tween the two countries? Would specie in the Treasury bring us to or near specie pay- ments? We have known the Treasury to have as much surplus gold as the Bank of England in its vaults, and yet the gold premium remained high. The truth is we are largely a debtor nation; we buy and borrow to a much greater amount than we sell. France, on the contrary, sells more than she buys, exports more than she imports. As o consequence both the specie on hand and all we can raise from the mines is mortgaged abroad, Here is the secret of the whole matter. Tae Far1 Amusement Season was formally inaugurated last night at some of the city theatres. Judging from the unusually large attendance, hundreds of people being unable to procure seats, it seems assured that a bril- liant season of music and drama is before us, There are twenty-two places devoted to the- atrical and musical entertainment in this city, and the managers in every case have made ex- tensive arrangements to supply the wants of the host of amusement seekers, Complaints of hard times and scarcity of money will hard- ly be heard within the walls of our theatres for a time at least, How many places of amusement, however, will weather the storms and difficulties of the long term of nine months during which their doors will be open, {no “Old Probabilities” of the stage can tell, AUGUST 12, 1873.—TRIPLE SHEET. Watering Place Repose. One of the advantages which writers on divine subjects are fond of ascribing to heaven is the opportunity it will give for indefinite rest. There the earth-worn pilgrim is ex- pected to stretch his wearied limbs and close his sin-offended eyes without the possibility of distraction. The abodes of bliss stretch around him like Mohammed's paradise with the houris left out, and the white robes, the golden crowns and the twanging harps com- plete the idea of spiritual voluptuousness. It seems a pity that something akin to this vision cannot be realized to somo small extent on earth; but when people are so confident of an eternity of repose in store for them they aro apt to despise the opportunities afforded them by time. Take, for instance, the average watering place, whore, if anywhere, we should be justified in expecting ease, quiet and breathing space, if prolonged experience had not taught us the mocking fu- tility of such hopes. Who has not heard the Summer vacation spoken of as the timo when tired humanity takes off its boots and business coat and goes about in sack and slip- pers? But do tho watering places in reality afford this sort of rest? Are not their de- mands as imperative as those of the city in the height of the season? Does Fashion “let up” on the man or woman who, during July, August and September, drinks the waters of Saratoga or bathes in those of Long Branch? Is she not, on the contrary, a remorseless jade, proclaiming every time and place a season in which she chooses to show herself and working hor votaries like a chain-gang? Nowhere is her tyranny more strikingly evi- denced than at our watering places, where not only constant action, but that kind of action which trenches on, dissipation, is tho tribute she requires from those who enslave themselves to her. ‘That the sterner sex should be able to meet these demands and yet harbor sufficient strength to go through the remainder of the year respectably is wonder- fulenough, but that that other sex to which the weaker and more delicate qualities are commonly ascribed should be capable of doing so is a fact still more marvellous. One is involuntarily reminded of Arthur Penden- nis’ brilliant epitome of the duties and performances of the London women of fashion, and obliged to admit that she who would maintain her place in modern society is compelled to do an amount of work before which an antique Aspasia would have quailed. The true principle upon which Summer rest is to be enjoyed is not that of seeking it at the average watering place, unless hotel life be ab- jured in favor of that of cottages. Perhaps no other spot in the United States offers such rich and varied opportunities in this respect as Newport, combining, as it does in the height of the season, the opportunities for ex- citement with all the quietness and seclusion of isolated homes. Independent of cottage life, however, the repose which the watering place frequenter boasts that he is enjoying is an exasperating myth. There is no more real repose for you than there was for Noah’s dove. The very dining room with its regiment of waiters is distraction, and you cannot secure a nook to yourself upon the long piazza without having your charity invoked for one-armed men whom you never did anything to injure or your ear troubled with the juvenile tickling of a harp, in hopes of your remunerating which a greasy hat is presently thrust forward. You cannot retire to your room without the buzz and clamor of the corridors floating to you through the closed door, the quarrels of the bell-boys and chambermaids accentuated by the clink of the electric bell or the deeper diapason of the gong. You cannot give a gratuity to one waiter without exciting envy and compe- tition in the halfa dozen others who dog your footsteps and grow impertinently ob- trusive about the dates of your departure and return. After breakfast you are obliged to go out of sight of your hotel before you can get out of soundof the inevitable band, and after dinner and supper the same remedy has to be applied. If you are of a nervous tem- perament, and easily kept awake, the frequent hops render it impossible for you to get your average amount of sleep, and if you are with a party of ladies the only thing possible for you to do is to make your sacrifice complete and go to the ballroom, at the price of future nervous prostration and gencral debility. Amid all these demands upon you the absolute repose you yearn after becomes an impossi- bility, and your philosophy will be strong in- deed if it enables you to endure the strain with equanimity. Still there are quiet places where body and soul alike may rest, and the temperament become hushed beneath the spell of nature’s anodynes. But such places are not to be found at the average resort by lake or ocean. Occasionally one comes across some spring, once cultivated, perhaps, now fallen into desue- tude, where ‘the comforts of a home’’ may be enjoyed with more of that quiet and leisure than are generally feasible in a city household. A few exceptional farmers do not send quite all their poultry, milk, eggs and butter to the markets of New York, and we doubt not that, were patient inquiries to be made, not a few pleasant country homes might be found, where pleasant rooms, good living, fair prices, pretty scenery, pleasant drives, quietude and the absence of foolish fashion and ridiculous etiquette are all combined. But, as with every- thing else in this life, such a union of excel- lences—and we are addressing those who would consider them excellences—is not to be discovered without some trouble. Certainly a few weeks spent at some such place as this would, other things being equal, do more to retain youth to the young and recall it to the old than all the brilliant bustle of those water- ing place palaces where comfort is vainly grabbed at for five dollars a day. The Late Additions to Our Record of Crime. The present week opened with two tragedies, horrible enough to shock even a community in which murder has become of frequent oc- currence, On Sunday night a jealous lover in Williamsburg, made a fiendish attempt to kill the object of his affection, inflicting several wounds upon her with a knife, which he afterwards turned against himself. Yester- day morning, in the heart of the business portion of this city, in Vesey street, a cigar manufacturer was shot bya clerk in his em- ploy, who then committed suicide. Both at- tempts at murder and suicide were of the most deliberate kind, especially the latter, in which not a word was exchanged between the parties. Such a frightful record of crime as the present Summer has shown, and which is daily increased, is o sad commentary on our civilization, In cases like the present ones it is useless to speak of the incentives to murder presented by the loose administration of the criminal laws. They certainly had no part in these tragedies, as the assassins in both instances attempted self-destruction. Wo may look for the cause in the widespread de- moralization which tho absence of true Chris- tian principles is sure to produce. There is sad need of missionary work in a great com- munity like ours—not mere formal pulpit preaching once a week, but active, earnest, vigilant aud porsevering Christian labor, in- vestigating the sources of crime and applying suitable remedies, While many of the pastors are away from their flocks during the Summer the arch enemy is reaping a rich harvest of souls. Drunkenness, jealousy and ig- norance of the true enormity of crime have much to do with the murders of the day. We have religious socicties with- out number, but the results of their labors are very meagre indeed. In all circles of society there is a wide field for Christian missionary work, and if tho parsons would only devote their energies to the practical consideration of crime instead of abstruse theological theories they might do much good. Murder can only be attacked on religious grounds, as the brute passions, without the check of moral princi- ples imposed upon them, may break out at any time. Lawlessness generally steps in when religion is absent. The prevalence of murder would be a timely subject of discus- sion for those clergymen who have not for- saken their flocks for the attractions of the watering places or the charms of a trip to Europe. It is a subject of more immediate interest than the discussion of dogmas and denominational differences, Tae Nzw Crry Prison will soon be no longer a matter of conjecture. The Commis- sioners who have charge of providing for this much-needed institution have made a careful survey of all the eligible localities in tho city, and they will furnish a definite report to-day. The Tombs cannot be regarded as at all com- mensurate with the heavy demands made upon it by the constantly increasing number of criminal cases from the various Courts. No time should be lost in providing for the en- largement of the present prison or the building of a new one of adequate dimensions, PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE.

Judge Emerson asked United States Attorney Gury if he wished to have a Grand Jury and the latter replied that as a Territorial Court had already intimated that no jary could be legally empanctied under the existing laws, he did hot wish to go through the farce of @ criminal ex | amination or trial, to have it set aside immediately thereafter.

The “Let as Have Peace” Pol‘ey witht the Indians—2,000 Stand of Sharp’s Rifles Sent as Indian Supplies. That the Indian policy of the government is ost fearfully and wonderfully constructed ne longer admits of doubt. It is designed to civilize the noble red man, and to that endevery means within the reach of the Peace Commission in their opinion calculated to advance the Sioux, Apache, or Arrapahoes is unstintingly furnished, There was received at the War Department to-day suctt Proof of this statement that will gladden the heart ofevery officer and soldier stationed on the frontier. The commanding officer of a miti‘ary post on the ‘Missouri, 1,500 miles from St, Louis, oftictally reports that the steamer which passed up the river dadem exclusively with the government annuity goods had on board a number of boxes marked hardware, an inspection of which showed them to contain Sharp's rifles, with abundance of ammunition. The boxes were invoiced hatchets, saws, hammers, chisels, &c, Two thousand stand of these peace- makers had been smuggled on board, and of course when they were landed atthe agency it would not pay to return them to St. Lous, the cheaper and more humune policy being to sell them to the noble Indian ‘or @ consideration. General Sheridan in forwarding this report says “that if it ts the policy of the goverament to furnist: Indians with firearms the mugzle-loader will answer every purpose for hunting or the chase; butifit is to put themon an equality with the army, and make them superior to the frontier set- tlers, the purchase of the latest approved patterns of weapons is probably the proper thing to do.
