ings, a bitter sort of farce. If Dr. Fulton de- sires to imitate the ancient custom of baptism exactly why does he palm off on his con- science a bathing tub filled with hot Croton for the flowing and lordly Jordan? His bap- tistry, surrounded by steam pipes to keep the ‘aqueous fluid at the right temperature, no wnogg resembles the full tide of the sacred ‘Fiver than do the few drops with which the rest of Christendom is satisfied. We are not given to philosophic research in these matters, but to our untutored mind the water has little or nothing to do with the service. Ifa man’s heart has been baptized the pint or a pondful of water is ot little moment. Now, if this were a mere eccentricity on the part of the Brooklyn champion we should have very little to say about it. Personal pe- culiarities are not matters of public concern. But when a man, however insignificant he amay be of himself, speaks as the representative of a large, useful, devoted and influential body of Christians, he becomes public property, and must not complain if he is roughly handled. When be stands boldly before the community as the champion of disunion, inciting his brethren to rebellion against that inevitable progress which will make us all shake hands with each other at last, and openly declaring that no man 1s right who has not the trademark of J. D. Fulton on his back, we pity his imbe- cility while we expose his folly. We speak in the interest of that large class who believe that religion and common sense are notso far separated as certain orators would have us think when we say that the last move of that important denomination to which we have referred is a mistake. The world is ready to forgive the most extravagant confi- dence in the future, but there is no room on the planet for a man whose face is turned en- viously towards the past. The genuine re- ligion of to-day is the religion of shoulder to shoulder, and he who preaches or practises anything else will be made as uncomfortable as he who rides on a corduroy road in an old- fashioned wagon without springs. Do not block the wheels, gentlemen, and do not try to make yourselves conspicuous by donning a Continental coat or preaching Continental Sermons. In the olden time ——Their crude notions with each other fought; The atverse sect denied what this had taught; And ht at length the amplest triumph gained Who cpntradicted what the last maintained, Those days have gone by and cannot reap- pear. What we demand now is the amplest liberality towards all who prove their right to our respect by honor and charity. For moces of faith let graceiess zealots fight; His cant be wrong whose lite is in the right. The Voice of the Religious Pres: Unlikt the issues of last week in its uni. formity n one absorbing topic, the religious press ths week has a variety of topics on which edtorial comment is deemed necessary. The Chritian Union, reviewing the Catholic meeting ii Cooper Institute the other night to express synpathy with the Pope, thinks that the bleak \orthern winds which now blow on the shorn Imbs of the Papal fold were stored up by the Grmany of Charles V. for the Ger- many of Wikelm IIL As Richelieu and the great Louis lid the slow match whose train ended in theFrench Revolution, so Philip and Alva prepted the way for the downfall of the power of th Papacy. The Union thinks there is an irrepessible conflict between Rome and Berlin. Theatter expresses the Protestant idea of the subofination of the Church to the State; the femer maintains the suprem- acy of the Church The JIndependen reviews the question of “Politics and Finace,” as represented by the Congressional infltionists, whose policy, it says, leads in exacty an opposite direction to that of a return t spocie payments. The Independent predictshe downfall of the party in power, and declays that ‘no party is fit to rule this governmei or any other that will break its faith withthe people or set at de- fiance the elementaryaws of sound finance.” The Observer maken plea for unity in the temperance cause, anwuggests the calling of ®@ convention of temprance representatives from all the States to evise a basis of union and a plan by and upot which all the friends of the cause can unite ad operate against the rum traffic. The Christian Intellincer observes with . great satisfaction in theewspaper reports of the Easter sermons publhed last Sunday an unbroken line of testimnies to the founda- tion truths of Christiaity. It nevertheless many directions to makan imposing relig- ious spectacle anda gomous outward cere- monial of the services of€aster. The Examiner and Clbnicle discusses the upon the Baptist denornation. that independency is notrithout its relations to other bodies, churchesnd States, and that Plymouth church by a cclaration of inde- pendence could not free ielf from its obliga- tions to its sister churche Tho Methodist maintainthat a further issue of greenbacks will be a vilation of the faith of the nation. It admits iat the country is suffering from a lack of mney. But it isa lack of real money, not ofsromises to pay, of which we have too manylready. The only surely clastic currency, it sys, is that founded on a specie basis and whiclis good the world over.

New ORLEANS, April 11, 1874, Jules Roux, a well known young man, was shot through the heart on Bourbon street, near anal street, last night by some person unknown. He expired in five minutes after being shot. Serious crevasses are reported to-day at Bonnet Carre, about half a mile below the new levee. The Jackson Railroad Company are trying to close the break, which, at last accounts, was forty feet wide. The Levee Company has also taken action and will send men and material to Bonnet Carre.

Di Murska Iady Henrietta, Mme. Testa as Nancy, Signor Verati as Lionel and Signor Marl as Plunkett. The music of the title rdle does not afford Mile. Di Murska a favorable opportunity to display her rare talents as @ bravura singer, and considering the fact that she was suffering ter- ribly trom an ulcerated throat, and that physical exhaustion was only kept off by her own indomita- ble energy, the artistic result of the efforts of the prima aonna was simply wonderful. Better for the manager, Mr. Maretzek, to have repeated the magoificent suceess of Di Murska’s Dinorah, than to compel her to appear in a role entirely foreign to her characteristic style of singing. “ll Trova- tore” is announced for Monday, and a worse se- lection, under the circumstances, could scarcely be made, When a company’s attraction is limited to the prima donna, the impresario should carefully avoid anything that might provoke comparison with sach a superb company as that which preceded the present season. Mr. Maretzek’s great and only feature for the public is Di Murska. In “Sonnam- bula,” “Linda” and “Dinorah”—operas entirely within her line of lyric rdles—she has won honors despite her illness (and her physician has warned her again and again against singing in her pres- ent enfeebled condition), and this conscientious artist hag proved herself deserving of the high reputation she has so long enjoyed in Europe. The production of ‘‘Lrovatore’ on Monday night will undoubtedly prove a serious managerial mistake. re change to “Dinorah” while yet there is 2. Steinway Hall—Thomaw Farewell Mat- inee. The concert given by Theodore Thomas yester- day aiternoon at this hall presented some of the choicest morceauz in the apparently inexhaustible répertoire of the modern apostle of music—for such Theodore Thomas may justly be called. He has labored faithfully and earnestly in the cause of art, and has made the names of the great com- posers of the past and present household words, even in the villages of the West. When Fortune frowned upon him—and the fickle dame has al- ways been his bitterest opponent in a pecuniary sense of the word—Thomas has steadily pursued his path towards the goal of perfection, and has never been led away by the syren voice of expediency. Often ne has been sorely tempted to leave the demesnes of the classics for the glittering and seductive realms or What is miscalied popular music. Yesterday his rogramme was the following :—Overture—“The ride of Messina,’’ Schumann; Concerto, for string orchestra, Bach, with obligato violin, by Mr. Bern- hard Listermann; Symphony (unfinished)—B minor, Schubert; Songs, from op, 48, Beethoven; Mr. Myron W. Whitney. Hungarian Suite (new), Fantasie for harp, Parish Alvars; Mr. yood. Bedouin song, A. H. Pease (ac- companied by the composer) ; Mr. Myron W. Whit- ney. Ballet, “Rienzi,” Wagner. Hoffmann’s work reminas one of Liszt’s Hun- garian rhapsodies in its quaint, characteristic Jorms. Pease’s song is a beautiful composition, entirely en rapport with the subject, and given with rare eifect by Mr. Whitney. The entire pro- gramme was extraordinary, even for Thomas, and ee! more real musical attraction than a lozen of the present Puilbarmonic bills, The or- cbestra were in their mood, and played as only such a superb organization can play. Musical and Dramatic Notes. Gilmore gives a concert on Wednesday next at the Twenty-second Regiment Armory. Miss Neilson, who has just returned from San Francisco, has apartments at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Mr. Alfred H. Pease announces his annual con- cert to take place at Steinway Hall on Thursday evening next. The last nights of ‘Davy Crockett” are announced. The gallant backwoodsman will be missed from his familiar haunt. “St, Marc; or, the Soldier of Fortune," and “Tne Hidden Hand” will be produceé on Monday night at Wood’s Museum. “The Veteran” will keep his post at Wallack’s until further notice. Lester Wallack sustains nis original role of Leon Delmar. The Academy of Music, Brooklyn, was crowded last night on occasion of the last concert of the Philharmonic Society, of that city. The Olympic presents a programme for the week full of fun. “Farce, burlesque and comic song” are offered as a sure protection against ‘‘a bilious at- tack.” The New York City Missions’ concert at the Academy of Music, on the 14th inst., for a really deserving charity, will introduce the best artists in this city. Bryant’s Minstrels warble nightly in their cosey little Opera House, The sable troubaaours are great favorites with such as are oppressed with melancholy. Mr. ©. E. Horsley has been tendered the com- pliment ofa testimonial concert by the Church Music Association, and it will take place at Stein- way Hall on Thursday next. The Theatre Comique is not content to be fanny; it aspires to present “startling attractions” and “troupes of stars,” mere constellations being too small in the twinkling line. Mr. and Mrs. Barney Williams will appear in the “Connie Poogah” on Monday evening at Mrs. Con- way’s Theatre. This drama has not been played in this country for over five years. Fannie Foster will appear on Monday night at the new Park Theatre, Brooklyn, in an original drama, founded on the French Revolution, enti- tled ‘La Marjolaine; or, Love Rules the World.” Mrs. Scott Siddons will read “Midsummer Night’s Dream,” at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, on Monday, April 13, assisted by the boy pianist, Seraphael; also at New Brunswick, Tuesday, 14th. Bijou, the daughter of Matilda Heron, will ap- pear as Adrienne in Dumas’ forthcoming drama, “Monsieur Alphonse,” which — will “Charity”? on the boards of the Fifth Avenue on Tuesday next. Mile. {Ima di Murska appears to-night in concert at the Grand Opera House, The marvellous excel- lence of this lady’s art, either in concert or opera, entitles her to the consideration of every true lover of music. “All the grand stars’? are announced to be visi- | ble at the Metropolitan, where they are the cause of “irrepressible thunders of applause’ that de- stroy the equanimity of the audience and force the most saturnine to laugh. His Pantomimtc Majesty George L. Fox receives nightly at his ‘beautiful ladies’ palace” in Broad- way. His Majesty deigns to make his bow to his subjects in the character of a funny fellow called | Humpty Dumpty, well known for his eccen- tricities. Lotta will continue to be the attraction at Booth’s during the week. She will be replaced by Miss Neilson, who appears in “Romeo and Juliet.” From Zip to Shakespeare is a leap far more sen- sational than Lotta’s feat at the Point Lynde Light, and more agreeable, Everything is at iast in order at Mr. Stuart's New Park Theatre, and the pubiic will be afforded an opportunity of judging the merits of “Love's Penance” on Monday night. This time there will be no disappointment. Mrs. Shiel Barry will ap- pear as the leading lady. “The Parisian Folly,” at the Olympic, will be re- constructed on Monday night. An entirely new ballet 1s promised under the direction of Espinosa, ‘who will dance for the first time in fifteen years in his original creation of “The Satyr,” as given in the Imperial Theatre of St. Petersburg. Mr. and Mrs. Florence commence the second week of their engagement at the Grand Opera House to-morrow ovening. During the week they will alternate “Eileen Oge” with the “Ticket of Leave Man,” The parts they play in these dramas have greatiy contributed to the reputation they bear. A bill has passed both houses of the State Legis: | lature, by the provisions of which protection is afforded theatrical advertising posters. Until quite recently managers of places of amusement have suered materially at the hanas of rival bill stickers, and in self-defence they sought the adop- tion of the new statute, by which it is made a inis- demeanor to deface a placard making anticipatory announcement of an event.

Scenes of Confusion and Terror on Board. MEN LEAPING OVERBOARD. The Disaster Caused Through a Broken Water Gauge. St. Jouns, N. F., April 11, 1874, Yesterday I telegraphed you the statement of Captain Samuel Bartlett, of the Arctic steamer Panther, in reference to the disaster on board the steamer Tigress, giving the result of his meeting with the latter in distress. I have now the story from Captain Isaac Bartlett, commander of the” Tigress, as reported to the owners here to-day, Messrs. Harvey & Co. This report gives some additional details respecting the matter, and seems to indicate a belief on the part of the com- mander that the boiler gauges were out of order and hence the disaster. ISAAC BARTLETT'S STATEMENT. Captain Isaac Bartlett says:— “On Thursday, the 2d of April, at three P. M., I ‘was standing on the bridge. The vessel at that time was slowly steaming through the ice. All at once { saw smoke and steam Issuing from the engine room hatch in great volume. Personally I had felt no shock and was not aware of an explo- sion having occurred until Isaw the men rushing up through the hatches. Some one exclaimed, ‘THE BOILERS HAVE BURST,’ amid @ scene of great excitement, Men ran hither and thither, and, partly from surprise and partly from terror, three men jumped overboard, but they were subsequently rescued and taken on board the vessel. THE KILLED. “Ten men were killed instantaneously. Eleven others died in great agony on the day following. Among these were the first and second engineers. The first engineer was a native of Dundee; the second, named Booth, betonged to Philadelpbia. CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT. “All the evidence I could gather from the stokers, coalheavers and assistants tends to show that the flame sheet and tube plate gave way. The shock was felt below deck very much, as the explosion tended downwards. 1 am unable to give the specific cause ofthe explosion. At the time the gauge indicated a sufficiency of water; but itis now supposed the gauge was out of order, THE BOILER, “The boiler was bulit in Philadelphia by Messrs, Neafle & Levy, and in January last it was tested for 100 pounds pressure to the square inch, the test being made in presence of the first engineer and myself, as captain of the vessel. On the day of the explosion the steam gauge indicated sixty pounds pressure, and on the day previous there was a pressure of eighty pounds. “All the men killed were on top of the boiler at the time. ‘They were mostly men in poor circum- stances and leave sorrowing families, for whom it is proposed here to get up a subscription.” The Tigress was built in Quebec in 1871 and ber register is 360 tons, She is 150 feet long, has breadth or beam 28 feet, 16 feet deepth of hold, draws 15 feet of water and is owned at St, Johns,N.

Schmitt, No. 4 Vesey street, was entered by thieves yesterday morning and robbea of 120 pieces of cloth, valued at $3,000, by means of a false key. The thieves were pursued by Detectives Tully and Houghton and forced to abandon the property, which was founa by the oMcers in & wagon in Fifth street, near First avenue, where it was left by the driver, he forced to leave it to make good his escape. The wagon was marked “Charles Burner, No, 494. Washington Market,’? and, with its conten 4 was — conveyed to the Chambers stree' Police Station Howse, where the goods were identified by Mr. Schmitt as his property. The starter of the horse cars at the corner of Vesey street and bs Prac witnessed the operations of the thieves, but being occupied by his duties thought nothing of it, Strong hopes are entertamed by the police that the driver and the rest of the gan, will be captured; but they have, as yet, delle their vigilanee. “LET DOGS DELIGHT!” ple Slt How Mr. Bergh Proposes to itid the Streets of Stray and Useless Animals— The Dog Question. A reporter of the HERALD yesterday obtained Mr. Bergh’s ideas regarding the dog question, which are as follows :— The Society tor the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, having thoroughly examined and inquired into the matter, are prepared at any time to do their share in the work of ridding the streets of the numerous wretched animals to be seen there. It calls upon the City Fathers to rent some open jotof ground near the East or North River and build thereon kennels, stabling, &c., and @ suit- able edifice for the final disposal of vagrant dogs and cats, the lot to be inclosed by a ligh fence and pair of gates. Two wagons, built in small compartments, the lids of | each, opening from the p, to be of iron network, admitting light and air, would also be needed and a pair of strong horses and harness. ‘The society would then take charge of the work | and rid the streets of these animals. It is pro- osed to have the wagons - about the city early in the morning, collect all dogs and cats without owners, and as each load is delivered at tne “Home,” or pound, the animuls to be registered and retained which are of any value, and, il notcla’‘med, sold for the benefit of the “Home,” all others to be humanly destroyed. There would be no rewards given to any one for bringing the animals to the “Home,” and, therefore, no inducement offered by the “trade” of dog breeding, as in the ordinance of Alderman Morris. In addition to this the society proposes to re- move all condemned live horses and other ani- | mals from the streets and private stables to this | place and there destroy them, in lieu of the pres- ent objectionable mode, subjecting women and children to the horrible sights now stupa seen in the shooting and killing of disabled ani- mals, Again, private citizens having family pets, which have become old and worn out, would merely have tosend for the wagon and have the animals taken away, whereas by the present sys- tem ol the Board of Health Rendering Depart- ment, citizens nave first to kill the animals themseives and then have the dead bodyes lying in the house or yard for or three or four days before it pleases the Health Boara’s dead cart | to call ior them, The driver of this vehicle usually | carries a pitchfork, which he forces through the body of the defunct animai and thus adds it to his horrible load. Uptown Operation of the Bergh Law. WASHINGTON HEIGHTS, April 10, 1874. To THE Epitor or THE HERALD:— By applying at the station house, Thirty-second precinct, corner of 152d street and Tenth avenue, | the following statement of facts can be substan- | tiated. On Thursday evening, the 9th inst., a | young woman residing on Tenth avenue, near 164th street, was arrested and taken to the station house by & policeman for whipping and driving out adog which had committed a nuisance in the house, The woman 1s quiet, peaceable and indus- | trious and respected by all her neighbors; but, | considering it a piece of impertinence on the part | of the officer to interiere, probably told him so. It is bad enough for the pubiic to be annoyed unnecessarily by Bergh in person; but this delegating of his power to his ignorant aud insolent satellites must be stopped. There is a point beyond endurance. Has not Bergh piayed the rdle of Don Quixote long enough * Ifthe must still attack windmills, let hini at all events forbid his Sancho Panzas to attack without first report- ing to him. | Bergh’s action in the case of the Connolly child | is a new departure anda stepinthe right direc- tion.
