With the first warm breath of spring yesterday there came to the Guild rooms at St. John’s chapel hundreds whom the March winds had before con- fined to their poor lodgings tn all quarters of the city. They were the weak, the exhausted and the dying irom fevers, asthma and lung diseases that parched their skins and shrivelled their jorms. They seemed like those whose fount of Ite was running dry and who thirsted for com- passion as they hungered for food. There were also the crippled and the aged and the innumer- able army of the young, who have felt the bloom of health chased irom their cheeks by the pale Bpectre of want. While others of their own age are crying for toys, lor rare fruit, for costly bon- dons these little sufferers beg for breaa to appease the hunger that bites and pinches them, Many of the old who tottered forth yesterday had prayed for the grateful warmth of the day ail through the long winter. Some had, doupt- less, as earnestly prayed for death as a relief from the misery that encompassed them, Many ol them wil! never again encounter the terrors of frost and snow, or ever again welcome the return- ing spring time. They will have endured the last sad year of want and sorrow and will pass away With tears and prayers, blessing those whose kindly hearts ave made the last Inoments Of their Ife less miserable.

THE BUREAU OF CHARITIES. Regular Meeting of the Bureau Yester~ day—It Endorses the Management of the Five Points House of Industry. The Committee of Nine, constituting the Bureau of Charities, held a reguiar meeting yesterday alter- noon. Mr. Theodore Roosevelt was in the chair and Mr. Henry b. Peliow Secretary. the Bureau being present the Secretary reported that an expert accountant employed by him, after a thorough investigation of the management and bookkeeping of the Five Points House of Industry, has reported to him that tnis society is managed with integrity, and its accounts are kept in a thoroughly intelligible and satisfactory manner. The exceedingly small sums which appear to | have been given by several different societies to the same ben¢Jiciaires have caused much diMiculty to the bureau. It seems useless to report such repeaters to the respective societies, as there is too little evidence of attempt to deiraud. Ac- cording to information obtained by the Bureau of Charities some socicties, instead of giving sub- stantial aid to applicants of the justice of whose claims they are Satistied, furnish so small sums that fhe poor are obliged to make application to several associations, in some instances as many as five or six. In’ the judgment of the Bu- reau tt would be better for such societies to limit the number of recipients and_ to give jarger amounts to bond side cases, This would reduce the amount of machinery, secure the proper oversight of receipts, diminish the temptation how put in the way oi the poor to look to numerous and uncertain sources of supply, and so would render ihe Charity more effective for its purpose. In reply to a defence made by the oMcers of the dJuventie Guardian Society in reference to recent attacks made upon it, the Bureau of: Charities quoted certain extracts from the sixth annual re- port of the Commission of Charities of the State of New York. In treating this interesting question of the Juvenile Guardian Society, the Bureau made extensive use of the articles and Statistics which have from time to time lately appeared i umns of the HERALD, When reporting or ing on this and similar institutions. Kite committee resolved to print a large edition of their “Charity Directory,” to be given toall who apply, and to be put into the hands of the police. It cannot be made ready this season unless all of the societies interested make imumessiate returns, the col- comment- the St. Vincent's | A majority of | A MISSING STEAMER. The Propeller Merrimack Seven Days Overdue from Rio Janeciro~Fears En- tertained of Her Safety—Description of the Vess The South American steamer Merrimack is now Seven days overdue at this port from Rio Janeiro, and as she is known in marine circles to be very fast copsidereble anxiety is felt regarding her safety. This vessel, in charge of Captain Weir, an able and reliable commanding officer, left New York on her outward trip January 23 last, and the latest intelligence received of her where- abouts came from London on the 16th inst, in @ despatch via Lisbon, that she had reached Bahia, no date given, on her way to Rio Janeiro. Aecord- ing to the company’s schedule of sailing she should have left the latter port on the 23d or 24th of Fepruary, and was due at St. Thomas On the 14th of this month, but advices from there up to the 17th inst. report that she had not been heard of. Thé theory of her agent, or rather of those in the office of the company, is that she has broken down and been compelled to use her sails, with which, they state, she is well aupplied. At this season of the year the Merrimack brings to New York, irom Rio Janeiro and intermediate stopping Places, about thirty passengers, and, as freight, 16,000 or more bags of coffee, and in her many trips she has been singularly fortunate, which good luck, it is scarcely necessary to add, it is hoped will be the result of her present voyage. DESCRIPTION OF THE VESSEL. The Merrimack is of iron and was built and her machinery constructed at the works of Mr. Harrison Loring, Boston im 1861, She is 300 teet in length on deck, 389 feet 6 inches breadth oi beam, 17 feet depth of hold, 26 feet depth of hoid to spar deck, 14 feet drait of water at load ling, and 1s of 2,064 tong burthen. She is of wrought iron plates, 3g of an inch tol inch in thickness, and fastened with rivets % and % of an inch in diameter. Her floors are moulded 54g inches, sided % of an inch, and her frames are 18 inches apart at centres. Her engines are of the vertical direct- acting description, havit two cylinders 62 inches .in diameter, with a stroke of pis- ton of 4 feet. Her propeller, of cast iron, is 14 feet in diameter, Steam is supplied by two boil- ers, there are no blowers to engines, and she is fitted with two independent steam fire and bilge pumps, She has jour athwartship bulkheads. When the Merrimack was first surveyed by the underwriters’ engineer she was rated ‘class 1, Al‘g; security and provision against fire, good.’ In November, 1865, a second inspection was made, the tollowlug report being the result:—The con- dition of this vessel is such as to involve a full sur- vey of her before a rate can be assigned her.” This Was no doubt done at the time, or shortly there alter, a8 in March, 1866, when the vessel was put on the route hence to New Orleans, she was re- ported ‘class 1, A2; security and provision against fire, good,” and appended was the memoranda :— “A cabin and mess rooms upon the spark deck of this vessel have been added, with a light deck over, extending to rail.’ In May, 1870, the Merrimack was fitted with new botiers, and sihce that time has been on the route hence to Rio Janeiro, The possibility of a new issue af wnconvertidble paper Tregard with amazement and anxiety, and, in my judgment, such an issue would be a detri- ment and a shame.—CHARLES SUMNER, CAPTAIN URQUHART. The Silver Service Presented to Him by the Survivors of the Ville du Havre. There 1s now on exhibition at the warerooms of the Messrs, Tiffany & Co. & beautiful service of silver plate, which was manufactured by the firm, and which has already been presented to and ac- cepted by Captain Urquhart, ot tne ship Trimoun- tai, on behalf of the survivors of the ill-fated Vulle du Havre who were rescued by the Trimoun- tain. The service is composed of eight pieces, a teakettle, a salver and other pieces, six in all, each of which bears the monogram of He Captain. On the salver is the following inscription:—‘Pre- sented to Captain W. W. Urquhart, by the survivors of the Ville du Havre, who were received by himon his ship Trimountain, November 22, 1873, and Kindly cared for until landed at Cardiff, Wales, December 1, 1873.” On one side of the saiver 1s the word “Courage,” and on the other “Humanity,” set off by wreaths of marsh willow and black poplar, ‘the head of Neptune is conspicuous aiso over the design, made up of a small boat, capstans, ropes, &c. The ‘Irimountain arrived in this port some days ago, and soon after her arrival the following letter was sent to Captain Urguhart by Mr. C. Burritt Waite:— Breyoort House, New York, March 3, 1874. Captain W. W, Urguuarr, ship Trimountain ;— My Dear Sir—In behalf of myseli and associates, survivors of tne ill-tated Vilie du tlavre, I beg you to accept the accompanying service of silver ‘as an expres- sion of our profound gratitude for your most tender kind- ness to all of us shipwrecked sufferers during the nine days we were on board your good ship Trimountain. Your considerate kindness to ladies of our party was oiten the subject of grateful conversation, and in their behalf [ wish most kindly to thank you. You were as a brother to us all during those anxious days, and as time passes may the of gratitude which bind us grow stronger and stronger, unui at last all or us be safely anchored in that peaceful haven above, where the terrors of the sea are no more. Tregret not being able to. see you here, as I am obliged to rewrn to Paris again, sailing’ by the Cuba to-morrow, but I shall hope to meet you in England on your return. Tam very truly and sincerely yours, C. BURRITT WAITE, Captain Urquhart’s reply was as follows :— Suir Trrmouxtarx, New York, March 24, 1874. Mr. ©, Burnitt Wack a Drak Faiexv—Your letter in behalf of yourself and as- sociate shipwrecked survivors of the Ville dn Havre, asking me to accept the sliver service, was handed mé by your father on my arrival at this port.

History of the Quaking of the Earth. THE RELIGIOUS EXCITEMENT. Professor Dupre’s Ideas of the Convulsions. THE VULCANIC REGIONS, } Via Manion, N. C.. March, 23, 1874, After a hard night's ride from near Chimney Rock your correspondent reached here this morn- ing, having ridaen nearly 160 miles in five days through what seemed to be an interminable rain storm, and over the roughest and muddiest roads it had ever been his bad fortune toencounter. These wild though beautiful regions, but so little known to the outside world, have afforded much excite- ment and painiul anxiety within the past few weeks. And weil may such be the case, Inasmuch as Mother Earth has seemed tn such a state of con- vulsion that Vesuvius has been threatened with an American rival. impossible to obtain horses at ld Fort, the HERALD'S correspondent started from this point towards Bald Mountain, understanding that it was some twenty-eight miles distant. But he had tray- elled nearly twelve ere nigntiall, when he learned that the mountain was sul thirty-one miles away. This did not look much like progress, but we pushed forward until we reached a farmhouse, the occupants of which informed him that they had experienced shocks from the mountain. During this night the HERALD man experienced the first of the shocks of which he had already neard so mucb. They commenced with # noise like that of a smothered blast, and were followed by a low, rumbling sound, which continued for some twenty- five or thirty seconds. AN ATTEMPT TO ASCEND, The next morning, alter various endeavors to get a guide and “nding such a thing impossible, your correspondent started up the mountain alone. The scenery was perfectly grand, but soon became obscured by a thick fog and a@ blinding rain which torced him to return to the good oid farmer’s house, where he had stayed the night be- fore, and here an interesting interval was em- ployed in hearing the stories of the people, It seemed as though there were a telegraphic agency at work in the country, for many people gathered at the house at which the writer stopped, saying that they had heard that there were strangers in their midst making inquiries as to the shaking. One of them said he owed about $50 and he had two cows and a horse which he would sell for that money, because he did not want to go out of the world owing a cent to any man. The facts concerning the beginning of the disturn- ance bave already been forwarded by telegram to the HERALD, the reports about the conversion of over fiity terror-stricken white people by George Logan, a colored preacher, ure now confirmed. The prayer meetings held at Elliott’s house, at the hase of Stone Mountain, were of the most en- thustastic nature. The house was crow led almost to suffocation, many seekers after religion beng perched upon the joists of the house. During the continuance of the prayer meeting on the fifth day a periect Rip Van Winkle appeared in the person of old Major Bende, an ulicit distiller, who carried on his siniul trafic im thevery bowels 01 the mountain, and who had been rarely seen by humans save those who paid him _ surreptitious visits for the purpose of obtaining a measure of his illicitly concocted but soothing corn juice. His gray locks hung wildly over his bent suoulders, his beard was long and covered his breast, and his face Was as pale as that of a ghost. Shaking his head, he said, “Hit’s a comin’, and thar aint no use a talkin’. Ef you uns had a b’en shuk as bad as Lt have you wouidn’t be a wantin’ nuthin’ bat religion.” ‘The old man then told how he had heard the rumbling noises and thought at first that it wus thunder, and then when he experienced the shaking he got uneasy, and, for the first time since the war, determined to go down the mountain. He thought the worid was coming to an end and that the vest thing he could do would be to mend his ways and quit dis- tilling. He broke up all of his suill tubs, poured his walt down the mountain sides and was now in search of a revenue officer to whom he couid confess his transgressions against the government. When he came to inquire he found that the revenue officers had fled the night betore. They had appeared at Mr. Elliot’s aud attended a prayer meeting, during which two se- vere shocks occurred, which so frightened them that they ordered their horses and put off in a hurry. ‘The narration of these facts so increased Major Bender’s vneasiness that he got upon his knees and begged to be baptized at once, WILLIAM LOGAN, THE WHITE PREACHER, now appeared upon the scene and relieved nis col- ored brother from much of his labor, He is as per- fect a specimen of a mountain hero as ever I saw. He has a splendid physique, @ really hand- some face, and, though without much education, has great hatural intelligence. Whule he counselled his people to Keep cool and fear nothing, he im- pressed upon them the importance of becoming converted and to change the tenor of their ways in the past. He preached especially as to God's great power, us exemplified in the movements now going on in the mountain, and many were the con- versions cousequent upon his orations, ‘the people crowded around bim and listened to nis words as a child wouid to 4 mother’s lullaby. A NIGHT OF TERROR, On Friday afternoon Iresumed my line of march, and by night had reached the neignboriood of the Widow Nan’s, who resides near the base of the cone of Stone Mountatn, where the greatest disturbance had been heard. My host for the night was very close in his questions as to my observations, and gave me very plainly to under- stand that unless 1 imparted to him the fuilest Information in my possession I could not count nim asa friend, Said he, “Stranger, I'm glad to prised the elegant illustrated works trausiated by Mrs. Bury-Palliser, Sidney Armytage’s “Beautiiul Pictures, by British Artists,” a $35 work; ‘An- tique Gems and Rings,” by ©.

BROOKLYN MORTALITY, According tothe regular weekly report of Dr. Watt, Registrar of Vital Statistics, for the week ending March 21, there were 221 deaths in Brook- lyn, being an increase of 19 over the number of the preceding week, Scarlet fever carried off 19, diphtheria 15, consumption 28, bronchitis 10, congestion of lungs 10, pneumonig.16 and disease of kidneys 8. The mortality amoeg children was particularly heavy, 96 of the deceased being under live vears Of ages FE] see ye; 1 would be glad to see a hundred of ye. Tm ail alone here with my family, and I’m so afraid of this mountain and Its noises that P’'m a jone crazy.” 1 comforted the old man as bes! about eleven o’clock I was awakened by a very sensible shaking and rumbling. Shock atter shock | succeeded each other, the noise resembling very much that of the unloading of very heavy. timber, and at times so sudden and sharp that it seemed impossible to sieep. At twelve o'clock a thunder storm accompanied the noises, and 80 great was the combined effect that my host calied the family together and invited us “to join in prayer,” This invitation, while thor- oughiy appreciated, was respectfully declined, tn- asmuch as it was not possible to pray with sin- cerity and sleep at the same time. The old man was much shocked at the declination and prayed for my spiritual safety. The iamily did not sleep at all during the night, but ‘kept up singing and praying until daylight. ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT AN ASCE On Friday mornmg at about six o'clock I started up the mountain agai by mysel!, and took the chances of finding the way. The road, or rather bridie path, led up a steep ascent, which somewhat resembied a camel’s back, and ere I had gotten to its top the rumbling noise commenced. On either side of me were aur bes hundreds of feet in heignt, and my path was net more than ten leet in width, On my ieft was @ watertall graduwily de- scending from the top of the mountain for some 2,000 feet. At one point this stream broke lorth to the size of @ man’s leg, and falling over 200 feet was caught by a projecting ledge, where the stream was spread into the shape of an aqueous arbor. To describe the beauty and grandeur of the scene would be simply impossible. At about seven o'clock I heard a low rumbling, and MY HORSE BEGAN TO TREMBLE, The rumbling was succeeded by shurp reports, On the 18th inst., finding it | could and retired atan early hour.

Proiessor Dupré, whose arrival ldaly announced to you, says briefly and tersely:— “Lam not satisfied as to the nature of these movements; but 1] think they are suilictent to at- aoe attention and inquiry of the scientific world.” The possibility af a new issue of inconvertible paper I regard with amazement and anziety, and, in my judgment, such an issue would be a detri- ment and a shame.—CHARLES SUMNER.

FIFTH AVENUE PAVEMENT, | New York, March 25, 1874, TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD: — In common with many oihers I was much pleased to see your editorial of Monday on the pavement question, There is no doubt but that a macadam- ized road, well cared for afer being properly iaid, is the best tor horses, and as far as the comfort and pleasure of all who ride is concerned, no other pavement can compare with it. ‘The taxpuyer’s first question is, Wi it stand? It may be asked tn reply what pavement will stand without repairs? Will stone bi Look at Broadway. As to the question of first cost, does any one believe it will cost more to macadamize ae lay with stone blocks? 11 so, Who is the man’ Ed a Suppose, however, we try the experiment of paving Fitth avenue, like some of the Paris boule- Vards—viz., pave both sides of the street for ten or filteen feet in width from the curb, with stone blocks jor the heavy travel, and macadamuize the middle ofthe street for light driving. ‘This answers well there, why wouid it not do here? Could President Bergh do & more humane thing for beast or man than to lend his aid and imflu- ence to accomplish this? Every man who owns a horse or rides behind one will help, aid and assist him. Let him call a meeting of horse owners at say Cooper Institute, to set the good work in mo- tion, The expenses can be detrayed by a collec- tion, Let the watchword be “Macadamize.” Stone pavements, while not one of the “twin relics of barbarism,” are yet a disgrace to civilization, RETHGIRAC, The possibility of a new issue of inconvertivie paper Iregard wih amazement and anxiety, and, in my judgment, such an issue would de a detrt- ment and a shame.—CHARLES SUMNER, east tec anette DEATHS.
