The young man was educated at the Normat School from 1845 to 1848. After his graduation he became Professor of Rhetoric at Moulins, and was atterwards sent to the French school at Athens. His archwlogical discoveries excited | so much attention that an ides, which was entertained of giving up the school, was abandoned. He returned to France in 1853, Hav- ing taken the degree of doctor he was, in 1854, ap- | Pointed to succeed M. Raoul-Rochette as Professor of Archwology in the Biblioth@que Impériale, and was decorated with the Cross of the Legion of Honor, M. Beulé caused some very important ex- cavations to be made upon the site of Carth: Jn the month of February, 1860, he was elect member of the Academy des Inscriptions de Bellies Leturés in place of M. Lenornant. He was elected perpetual retary of the Academy of Fine Arta in | the month of Die 1862, and, in 1563, on the occasion of the reorganization of tne institution, he issued a protest against the new order of things which was | created by the change. He was @ most prolific and exceedingly careiui writer, his published works in art and archoiogical science filling many vol- umes, which have been issued irom the press since the year 1853, M. Beulé was a contributor to many of the leading periodicais of Paris. He held the rtiolio of Minister of the Interior of France in june, 1878, but resigned the office on the-l6th of that month. He was succeeded by M. Goulard. In the Assembly ne was one of the most active mem- bers of the Right Uentre, having been returned to the Legislature first on the list of eleven Deputies for the Marne-et-Loire district on the 8th of Feb- Tuary, 1871, M. Beulé, when he held the portfolio of the Ministry of the Interior, was the cause Of @ most profound litical sensation. M, Gambetta and the members of the radicalist party Unearthed the fact that on the eve of the general ciection Minister Beulé issued an official circular, addressed to the prefects and mayors, cautioning, or ordering, these oficiais to take means to buy up the corre- ndents of the Dewspaper press, in order that the royalist cause might be indat to undue pro- Portions, not oniy in the eyes oi the French peo- le, but also in the estimation of the surround- ing populations, The exposé of his tactics in this respect damaged his reputation asa statesman, M, Beulé’s Ministerial order for the regulation of interments caused a very deep sensation, which is not completely allayed to-day in france, In his capacity o/ Minister of the Interior lie or- dered that the funerals of free thinkers, or those who died outside of the pale of the Church, should be conducted throngh the streets at an early hour in the morning, at the same time when the Carts of the public scavengers pass along. This decree excited @ great amount of indignation in the minds of a very large number of people. Col- lisions took place at some points with the police, and it may be said that the end is not even yet. John Lavicount Anderson. The lovers *of old-fashioned Englisn litera- ture will regret, says a London journal of | March 23, to hear that John Lavicount An- derson is dead. He passed quietly away while sojourning at Brighton, and was buried in the parish churchyard of Chiselhurst on the day following the ete at Camden House, and while the Empress Eugénie was yet busy with her guests from the other side of the | Channel, Mr. Anderson was at one time in busi- | ness with @ brother of Archbishop Man- | ning. Though @ thorough commercial man, | he saved much time for literary recreations; and besides reading omnivorously, was the writer of several delicious books, from which he modestly withaela his name, simply saying in the title page that they were “By a Layman." One of the most valuable, and perhaps the best known, of these works was “The Life and Times of Bishop Ken,” There was another on angling, whi was a favorite with people who relish White's *Selborne” und the poems of George Her- bert. Mr. Anderson belonged to that fine old school, though he lived in the tron age. He was born in 1792, 80 that he had passed the allotted span by several years. A thorough Anglican, he had none of the asperity which is exhibited by some of the modern High Churchmen, ana that he was @ devout man none who ever enjoyed an hour of his society could doubt.

In- sured in tha Phenix and Firemen’s Trust TEMPERANCE. Temperance Mass Mecting’at the Contral Methodist Episcopal Church. ph A grand temperance mass meeting-wae held Jas* evening at the Central Methoaist charok, Four- teenth street and Seventh avenue, The sudiencd was for the most part composed of womery The meeting opened with prayer and singing. The Rev. F.'Bottome then addressed those present. He said he rejoiced to see this day, when all classes were beginning to take a deep interest in temperance measures, The temperance movement had pecn generaliy separated from religion by men and women to the great detriment of the former; but now, when they. were going hand in hand, it was bound to be a success. But it seemed to him that 80 long as people kept this in their minds and re- membered that their strength lay in making bare the arm of the Lord they might expect success in the movement, but when they turned aside from religion they would fail in their undertakings. The Hon. C, C, Leigh had heard expressed great surprise at the rapid strides temperance wad making over this land. To bis mind it was & wonder that the women of the East did not ex- hibit so much warmth on the sabject as their sis- tera in the West. When we read .of the car of Juggerneut in heathen jands crush- tug the lise out of its victims, horror and dismay was pictured in every countenance, & sensation was raised, the religious press took it up, and missionaries were sent orth to labor; but how was it we looked on with an air of are when the car of Juggernaut, strong drink, crusne the lifeblood out of its many victims and we stood gazing at the scene, callous and hardened as to this great evil which was in our midst. Its evils were colossal, and the men gazed on indifferenuy, but the women bewailed it und the desolation 1% caused in families. It was a wonder the women in New York did not manifest more teeling in the Matter, The women in the West organized with prayer, were baptized, visited their irtends, apd Persuaded them to. sign the pledge, and went to the druggista and asked them not to sell liquor without a physician’s prescrip- tion. They next visited the capitalists ana talked to them in private as only women cap talk to a guilty sinner. The liquor seller, importers and manufacturers are hext sought dut and argued with in the game Kind spirit ou the siniul- hess of the work they are engaged in. Men tor the last fifty years had tried to put a stop to this evil, but without success, and*now the weaker vessels had taken it up todo what their brothers could not do, Was there @ Christian in the laud ‘who could not wish them Godspeed from the bot- tom of his heart ? This excitement could not sub- side, for it was fixed upon religion and had the in- terests of humanity at heart. Addresses were also delivered by the Rev. Alfred Taylor, D. D., and Dr. Dio Lewis, who recounted ¥ gone length the labors of the women in the ) Prayer y Evening. Punctually at half-past seven o'clock a delega- tion of the Union Temperance Prayer Meeting filed into Harry Hill’s salon, in East Houston street; ladies from Dr. Deems’ Churen of the Strangers, Mr. McMullén, the President; Mr. Colo, the Secre- Harry Hill’s Meeting Last tary; H.

There were several hymns and addresses py Messrs, MoMulien and Pond, Sons of Temperance, of New York Division No. 1, votn of whom owned ts having been “shocking examples" of the most pro- nounced type. ‘ihe meeting was exceedingly orderly, breaking out occasionally into ap- Plause a8 one or other of tlie speakers made a hit. Mr. MoMullen spoke very well on temperance, and also well, but somewhat irrelevantly, on the Resurrection and the objec- Monableness of capital punishment. He brought the house down when, aiter thanking his Heaveniy Father, he thanXed Harry Hill for burning his gas and going to so mach trouble to help them to try and break down his business, ‘df I could only persuade Mr. Hiil—this honest and truth{ul man— (thunders of appiause)—to give up this business and open a Holiy-Tree Coffee House!" (Applause.) A collection wus taken up, a hymn was sung and pledges oiferea, Mr. Hii then made @ few re- marks. He said he was not with them, but liked to give every une a hearing. As for drunkards, he was sorry lor’em. He didn’t believe in pledges, u his bartenders would keep 'em it would please m. HIS FAT OLD COOK was very troublesome. He ‘had discharged her and took her back as she took the pledge. Kum was her ruimation. She drank more than ever, and, like all drunkards, swore she drank nothing. fixed up a bottle oi gin by the icebox with ipecac and jalap. She was very bad. He had a ribbon round the bottie and in her hearing asked the bartender if he’d sold any out of that bottle. “It's carbolic acid,” sajd larry; “if any one’s touched that they’re dead, sure!” That tetched the cook. They sent jor the Coroner (a well known large German reporter, with gold eyegiasses), took her ante-mortem, got Harry under bogus bonds to await resuits ,and the cook has several bogus physicians now uttending her, ; Meeting at State Strect Congregational Charch, Brooklyn—Liquor Stores Closed by Moral Suasion. The temperance meeting at State Street Congre- gational church, Brooklyn, yesterday afternoon, was well ‘attended. Several of the ladies of the Union Band were present and took part in the ex- ercises. Kev. M. Loomis led the meeting. A gen- tleman said, four or five weeks ago some Christian heart was stirred to pray for a certain saloon, juss this side of the car stables. For forty years it has been a hotel; of late years it has been arum hole, Four or five weeks ago the Christian people began to pray that this place might be turned {nto @ temperance hotel. Some days since he passed there and read _ this notice:— “Hereaiter no liquor will be sold here, and henceforth this ts to be a temperance nouse.”” Be- fore this was done @ man said to him, ‘It is non- sense to think of that saloon being stopped. They have got $4,000 worth of liquors in the cellar—a whole year’s stock—and it probably has more cus- tom than any other saloon in the city. “Butitnas stopped, ald 1¢ is a place that bas sent a! @car driver and conductor down to perdition: This is God's work, and God never works without human instrumentality, though human instrumentality without God ts nothing.

Mr. Meserve, the pastor of the church, said :— “The battle in the big cities may be a little slow in progress, but I believe God, who set things straight in Washington Court House, in Ohio, can set things right in Brooklyn, Won't it be glorious when we can go through the whole length of Fulton street and not see a single grogshop? I believe the da} is coming when it can be done {if the sisters hoi on; and if God don't do this mighty work in Brook- lyn it won’t be because He has not the power, but because the churches of God, of all denominations, have too much unbeliet in the power of God, Mra. Wilder said that they came to ask the co- Operation of the church in this matter; that they begged all the churches to try and Keer their own congregations free from this curse. After several prayers the meeting came to a close. Dr. Cuyler’s Reply to the Argument of Dr. Howard Crosby on Moderate Drink- ing. Dr. Cuyler preached to a large audience last night in Lafayette avenue church. He took for his text Paul’s First Epistle to the Thessalonians, xxit., 6, “Abstain from all appearance of evil.’’ He said these are inspired words, but Paul was not in- spired to write in English, but in Greek, The late Dean Altord, who was probably one of the greatest of Greek scholars, says that the word appearance is a mistransiation, and that the word in Greek signifies form, manner, shape, and that the text should read ‘‘Abstain from every form of evil." There are some things that are to be judged of by their effect; if that is opposed to health and decidedly mischievous then it is certainly evil. If a practice presents itself as a stum- bling block to my weak brother, if it be 80 destructive in its chafacter that it enchains him before he is aware of it, then I say itis an evil. Now there is a practice among men that meets all these conditions, so dangerous by its example upon others, so productive of mischief, [ allude to the practice of drinking intoxicating beverages, which is a stupendous evil and unparal- leled in its consequences. Now, let us look at thia proposition more in detail. The practice of drink- ing itoxicating beverages ts a form of evil trom which common sense and Christianity both teach us to abstain, What are intoxicating beverages? Ireply, anything whieh contains alcohol Its ten- dency is to impair strength, + POISON THE BLOOD in our veins, disorder the brain itself, [t turas WEW YORK HERAYD, MONDAY, APRIL 6, 18/4~TRIPLE SHEET Men tnto mantacs and the child of God into a child of the devil, Ite tendency is always injurious, often fatal, Observe that I use the word beverage, 1 do not deny that on very rare occasions 8 physt- clan may prescribe alcoholic drink, but the ooca- Sion should be such as to justify it; for in attempt- ing to cure a man he may create an appetite that ‘ul eventually make him adrankard.

To keep men and women from drinking stop the dram-seiling. Abstain trom the form of every evi) entirely. Now, that means total abstumence, Much discussion has lately been promulgated through the press through my friend’s (Dr. Crosby's) remarks respecting total abstinence. My criticisms shall be courteous, for 1 esteem him not only for his Christian character, but also lor his coura- geoue independence, 1 am mach obliged to him for endeavoring to prove that moderate drinking is better than total abstinence. I thank my eloquent Iriend for his co-operation with me. sust such Words as the Chancellor used as his text are oiten quoted in defence of MODERATE DRINKING— “Let your moderation be known unto all men.” Is it possible that it should mean, “Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say, rejoice; let your moderate use of intoxicating liquors be known to all men?’ Could ba translation of this passage be more ridiculous? The first position taken by my eloquent brotner is that drunkenness is usinof the seats depravity, 1 agree with him in all his enunciation of it. br. Crosby would have the drunkard punished—but the Doctor surely knows that our prisons are nightly full of wretched drunk. ards, both male and female, aluhough the aristo- cratic iinbiber is permitted to be driven home in hia carriage. My irtend would put up a terrible toligate on that road to ruin, but he puts it too far once. He would place it where the moderate drinker would be no longer able to control his appe- tite, Twould put the toligate tar back. I would put it at the entrance, and I would write over it, “Look not on the wine when it isred.’? ‘Wine is & mocker.” Abstain from all form of evil. ‘The Chancellor also says that THE DRAMSHOPS should ve suppressed. by law. We says:—The tippling saioon is as much a gate of hell as a church is @ gate of heaven, and the man who ‘runs it? is the ‘devil's own.’ And that the merchant who furnishes the liquor is as guilty as the man behind the bar.’ Now I maintain that while the rich and reputable purchase their baskets of champagne and bourbon the poor man will think it udrd that he is proscribed from purchasing a glass of whiskey at the grocery. Dr. Cuyler then said, speaking of the late Ohia demonstration, it had shut up more drinkiug houses in two months than } our laws have shut up in ten years. Now, in tue face of such startling events, Lmust protest against my brother Crosby’s ill timed onslaught against total abstinence. He compliments our honesty of motive, but asserts that we are preaching a false doctrine, His words are a serious charge against good men and good women. ‘The gospel that we | preach is that every Christian is responsibie for the example he sets, aud we reiterate that the ex- ample of using INTOXICATING BEVERAGES : is dangerous to others. Brotner Crosby's analogy between the moderate using of dumb-belis and moderate drinking does not meet the question. Again he says, “If a man copy the exampie of @ moderate drinker he wilt never become a@ drunkard.” The: case 18 not parallel; for the man who drinks intoxicating beverages stands on slippery places, and is it right for him to beckon others to go when they may slip into eternal perdition? He holds that men have a Tight to drink imtoxicating beverages, but no man has a right to drink to excess, That seems very Plausibdle, but, is 1t not a fact that allset out with a determination to practice moderation; but how Jew can curb their appetites for the treacherous Stimulant. Therefore God's Word pronounces it a mocker and deceiver. Again, # Our moderation ig to be Known unto all men, by what guage ahul! we juage it, Is it in one glass or two, or four, or five? How much may 1 drink as a Christian or as a minister ¥ Why, many people make fools of themselves under wwo glasses, while Others can carry a level livad under live. 1s everything moderate inside THE LIMIT OF DRUNKENNESS ? Moderation is an elastic word. It is a perilous word; it leads to degradation and death. ‘fo tell our nervously excited young Americans that they Inay drink moderately is about equivalent to telllug them to enter @& house iniected with smailpox, but with the provision that they must only take a mild varioloid. Our fricnds must remember that the devil always likes to quote ministers. This is not a conflict of interpretation of passages, it is a battle with the personal habits that Aiueci the vic- tim of alcohol. A Praying Band in Baffelo.

Interviews with Commissioners Stern and Laimbeer About “Big Six.” Stern’s “Big Heart’ and Laimbeer’s “Position.” A new development and a small sensation have been given to the Tweed case by atement that he lives in luxurious quarters on bis island home in the East River, Blackwell’s Island, it is said, ls Not 10 hs cage the tight little spot which it is pop- ularly supposed to be, for it is alleged that he bas the whole personnet of the prison, from tne War- den down to the lowest underiing, at his beck and call, who unite in looking with tender sympathy on Tammany's fallen chief. The power of wealth has worked marvels in prison life, and the golden key has unlocked many a combination lock, and more wonderful things have taken place in the world than would be the escape of Tammany’s fallen chieftain, Herewith are appended interviews witn Com- missioners of Cuarities and Correction Laimbeer and Stern, both in sense diametrically opposed to each other. The third Commissioner of the Board, Mr. Bowen, although found at home by a HERALD reporter, retused to give any information on thesubject, Interview with Commissioner Stern. Mr. Myer Stern, Commissioner of the Board of | Charities and Correction, was found at lis resi- dence, in Seventy-first street, yesterday afternoon, by a HERALD reporter. REPoRTER—What is this about the loose manner in which Tweed is kept in custody at Blackwell's Island, Commissioner? Mr. SreRN—Yes, I know to what you refer. 1am responsible for the safety of Tweed, and 1 take upon myself, willingly, the full responsibility of all that has taken place in reference to his incarcera- tion, No blame is to be attached to Warden Lis- combe, who has followed my orders implicitly. I never allow a subordinate to be unjustly blamed, if [can prevent it, and therefore, as I pefore said, I shoulder everything in this matter. I do not blame Mr. Laimbeer. He is working, likewise, to recover some of his lost political ground. To please him, if he chooses to appoint a special night watchman for Tweed, I wiil vote for his appointee, 80 that between us nis election will be certain, there being but three of ua in the Board. TWEED WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED in forty-eight hours if the régime had been perse- vered in which was inaugurated from the date of his reception at the Island. He would have been killed with forty-eight hours’ longer impris- onmenrt in his cell, He was taken out to save his life. He was suffering greaily from cpronic diarrhoea, and his removal was necessary, as 1 can prove by medical men. TWEED NOT A MARTYR, RerorTer—You do not admit, Mr. Stern, that Tweed has been unduly favored? Mr. STERN —No, sit; and I have not allowed him to be considered as a martyr. The fact bas never been lost sight of that Tweed {s a convict, and itis false to allege that he has been unnecessarily petted. NO DANGER OF ESCAPE. I wish also to state that where he is at present there is not the slightest danger of escape. He is surrounded by keepers who will stratn, for their own sake, every effort to keep him in custody and prevent his escape, knowing fall weil what an im- portant prisoner he is, If I had a diagram [ could show you how centrally he is locaced and how little fear there need be of such an event, CELEBRATING GOOD FRIDAY.

INDIAN AFFAIRS, Report of an Indian Commissioser om the Situation of the Tribes—Hostile Rumors Exaggerated. CuEYENNE, W. T., April 4, 18%4- Mr, F, H. Smith, one of the Indian Commissiom@- ers, arrived here yesterday from the Red Cloud Agency. The other three Commissioners have re~ turned to Spotted Tail Agency. Mr. Smith saya tne actual number of whites killed since January 1 by Indians is six. He reports that the troopsae both agencies had been unmolested and that at the Spotted Tail Agency especially friendly rote tions with the Indians exist. The Commissioners held several councils at both agencies with ho results. About 6,000 Ogallas, Sioux, Arapahoe» and Uheyennes have registered and remain at the _ Red Cioud Agency, and about 4,000 Brale Sioux are” at Spotted Tati Agency and are expected to regis— ter next week. The Commissioners say that the” situation has been critical, but that the published: statements have been exaggerated. Reports from « other sources say that the Commissioners have~ seen nothing but old ration-eaters, and that aa + 800u 88 grass grows the Indians will resume - tilities. BURSTING OF A BALLOON.

Mr. STERN—NO, it could hardiy be more simply fitted up, and nothing 18 to be seen there, in my opinion, which the most exacting person could cavil at, TWEED'S PRIVACY. REPORTER—I suppose you have a great many people who want to see the ex-oss? Mr. STERN—Yes, We grant passes, but nobody ts allowed to see him unless Tweed consents, This rule is adhered to from the highest to the lowest and meanest prisoner. Although we have a menagerie, 3 some people call it, We do not force apy of our | captives to show themselves or to be trotted out to gratify prurient curiosity. This law applies to all—"Bill Smith” or Bhi Tweed. All are treated | alike, and whatever their offences against the laws may be, we, of course, make no exception, REPORTER—It 18 reported that Tweed is not fond of seeing newspaper men, Mr. SrkkN—I belleve that 1s so, and some of tho | interviews (iaughingly) which are alleged to have taken place may be considered as somewhat myth- 1eal. REPoRTER—It has been alleged that Tweed has | been seen over in New York since he has been a resident at Blackwell’s. Mr, STERN—All nonsense, my dear sir; don’t be- Neve it. I can’t be responsible for the thonsand and one wild rumors floating round a big city. | ‘Yake my word for it, there is not a particie of truth | in it. | REPORTER—To sum up, Mr. Stern, you have no fear of 'weed’s escape.

Mr, LaImBEER—I think they are excellent; could not be better possibly; 1 haves just were matters arranged that I founa not only Tweed’s door open, but the main door of the building, which is situated but about a dozen steps down from Tweed’s room. REPORTER—That is enough to break the Warden, it appears to me, unless he has some good excuse. Mr. Laimpger—Certatnly it is. What could be easier than for Tweed to arrange a preconcerted signal with a steamboat to stop at the dock, dis- tant about 600 feet from his present luxurious quarters, and presto! Tweed is gone, and we should have a second edition of the Genet case. Believe me, continued Mr. Laimbeer, there are plenty of people who would willingly take Tweed’s place, and run the risk of State Prison, in a@ similar fashion Je ey of ae woman who took the place of Sharkey, the murderer.

If Messrs, Stern and Bowen choose to take sides against me they can vote anything down, ior there are only three of us, Take, for instance, a case which happened a week ago—viz., that oi a doctor of the Tombs, who was detected in taking money from the-prisoners for medical attendance. The money was subsequently returned by said doctor to some of the patients, as is on record.
