Perhaps itis rather on Germany, as the chame pion of the civil authority, thanon Rome nerself, that men’s eyes are jor the present fixed. In no antecedent period of history has there been found the strange combination which the former presents of the highest culture and the most per- ject military organization. It comprises the Wiaely diverse elements that contributed to the greatness of Greece and Rome. Other nations have been atthe sanie time famous in arms and io arts. The France of Condé and Turenne was also the France of Racine and Molitre, The Au- gustan age of Engtish literature derived an addi tonal splendor trom the victory of Blenheim But Germany is unrivalled tn this—that with her every citizen is educated and every citizen is a soldier, She can- not be said to possess a great army; she is her- self am army; and with her soldierly culture is at least @ fashion and a@ sentiment, It is to them what religion was to Cromwell's troopers, what a Muss of crude ideas embodied in the words “equality and liberty” were to the unconquerable legions of the Orat Frencn Republic, WHAT GERMANY IS DOING, 1s, therefore, of paramount importance to man- kind, The speect in which the Emperor William nas just opened Pariiament asks for increased suppites for the army, announces tnat civil mar- Tiage will hereafter be compulsory throughout the Empire, and promises @ civil code, which, now- ever, wilitake some years to compile.

Thus “BRZEZEWKE” will figure henceforth in tae maps as “Brosinke,” to the comiort of civilized beings, but to the deep mortification of protessors, who have written long treatises on “the manifest destiny of Pan- siavism,’’ and who will be as much shocked by this rude obliteration of a Sclavonic name as the freeman 1s at the sight of the appellations “Quarlemagne” or “Anglo-Saxon.” One day tuose profegaora Will infallibly do for their country | what Mazaini and Arodt did for theirs. ‘They will set Russia on fre with tue :over of ao idea which nobody will very clearly comprenend, but jor which the moat ignorant peasants will be ready to lay down ther live: ‘she bouse of Romanor \ will then have to decide whether it will head the | popular movement or be swept away by it The choice of Victor Emmanuel or of Fran- cis Ul, of Naplea will be open to the successor of Alexander IJ, Nor is there much doubt as to the side on whicn he will be tuund with the history of the last fifteen years betore lim.

The morning attendance at the Shaker Conven- | tion im Steinway Hall was not quite as large as | that in the evening. In the latter portion of the day the hall aud galleries were crowded, Much | interest was Jeit in the varlous addresses, some of | which touched upon sociological topics that were singularly treated, and with, perhaps, far less pro- | priety than many people expected. The audience seemed to be composed of that numerous class | of people in this city who attach themselves to no | chureh in particular and take anything that comes | along in the name of rejorim asa delightiul change. | ‘The stage of Steinway Hall was occupied by a | Shaker delegation, aumbering about twenty per | sons, half male and hal/female. The latter sat | at the left hand of the stage, clad in purple | dresses, with white manties wrapped around their shoulders, The men wore their hair long, and their dress was simplicity itself. | The ladies made quite a picturesque appear- | ance in the evening. The address by Elder | Loomis caused unusual astonishment among the Gentiles, and several scores of ladies left the hall during the course Oi the gentieman’s address, He spoke learnedly on the subject of procrea. tion; but bis remarks would nardly suit | the columns of the HERALD, He was | an elderly man, clad in blue flannel, with brass buttons down the jront, His hair was combed vehind his ears, and his {ace wore a most salacious expression, ,He spoke at great length on his indelicate subject. is train of ideas was quite similar to that of the free-love aposties, of whom vhe country already knows something, In the atternoon session Eider John B. Vance, Elderess Antouette Doolittle, Elder Evans and others spoke, The following is a sample of the morality and theology of the sect:. STOMACH AND CONSCIENCE. Two manners of people exist—the Jacob class and the Esau class, 1o the first the blessing of God comes in tue sunshine of an inner spirit world, continually ripening them up for a sphere wherein they will be invisible to the Esau class, and live upon food, that to it, would be as the manna to the Egyptian appetites of the Israelites. To the latter class, the blessing of God comes in the sunshine of earth, and in the dews and Jat- ness thereof. Jt is a question between stomach and conscience as to which Class each person shail belong. “All the labor of maa ts for his mouth,” and we are made up of the kind of jood we put into it, if We eat earthly iood we are earthly men and women. If we eat angels’ fvod (mauna) we be- come angelic—spiritual men aud women, If stomach (appetite) have the controi and pleasure be sought 1n physiological unrightevusness money } (the representation of labor) is prized as the weans Oj indulgence. Moneys may be accumulated and held from & mere insaue love of it, without any use to be accomplished py its possession. That is acquisitiveness run maa—sheer covetousness, In such persons common sense is almost ex- tinct, and every earthly and heavenly comiort is sacrificed ior the purpose of economizing ex- penses, Whereas mouey is nothing worth except for the good that can be derived irom tts pos- session, either to the owner thereof or to some other person, As a dation it will be generally recognized that stomaco predominates, at this present tiie, over conscience, and the love of money over the love of the use it represents. Appetite and looks, lust of the eye and per- verted taste, aro the controlling imiluence that determine the kind of medicine and quality of ood that men provide and women cook, and aiso how they shalt cook lt ‘The same rule and principle, or the wunt of them, govern first the men and next the women, in | relation to dress. Health and comfort, morality and religion, the goud of the present generation | and the Wellare oO! the future are suvordimated to appetite and looks to that degree that he or she who stops to imquire of conscience, why do I eat and drink and do this aod that; what the ovject, the use, the com ort in this article of food, drink, apparelor medicine I contemplate buying and pre- paring for myseli and others—is us much outside the social circle as are the insane, And tudeed, they are by appetite-created-mentality, accounted as “Samaritans”—as “having a devil” or as being beside themselves—jorming a Class Who are ior- ever turning “tne world that now 18” upside down, ‘Ihey desecrate the temples, destroy the | gods and change the ordinances of the degree | that hes accomplished {ts mission, become old and | is reauy Lo perisi aue be supplanted by tts succes. | sors as a hew wave of progress, The same lines of argument, the same turmoil Of pussion that the existence of chattel slavery in America gave rise to, terminating m a destruc. live, uncivil War, Come into Operation in all con- tentions and struggles between stomach and con- Science that have occurred, and* wil hereaiter oc- cur, in any new Wegree of progress, in nations, in Societies or even individuals.

He was taken to the Ninth pre- | cinet station house, and on closer examination he | was found to have a feartul gash on the back of his head, such a3 might be tnilicted by a coarse, Leavy weapon. His noje was aiso broken. Captain Kennedy, believing the man’s life In dan- #er, at once ordered bis removal to Bellevue Hos- pital, where he died avout two o'clock, Yester- day morning Dr. Marsh made an autopsy on the boay, and found in the stomach # quantity of bad liquor, From what he saw the Doctor was of the opinion that death resnited from edema of the lungs and compression of the brain. From inquiries made by Captain Kennedy and Detective U' Neill, it was ascertained that lour or five men had been drinking on Saturday night in the liquor store kept by J. Gibson, corner of Wash= ington aod Chiries streets. Most of tuem were in+ timate tmends, but, being much the worse for iquor, quarrelied about some trivial matter, and, becoming troublesome, were vurned oat on the sidewalk. ‘The quarrel was contiousd on the street, and the deceased, Jolin Carnacon, und William Pertain, came to blows and clinched in a Merce, though drunken, struggle. Ac+ cording to the statement of Pertain, made before Coroner Woltinan and Captain Kenuedy yesterday, @ stranger, Named George Washington Murray, who had been drinking in Gibson's store at the same time, and had veen turned out on the street also, rushed up, seized & cartrung and struck Carnacon # violent blow on the back of the head, Either the recollections of the parties concerned have become so coulused from tu2 inQuence of the “ret gut’ they imbtoed so Ireely, or they have some reason for conceaiag a portion of the evidence, but the fact is the sub- sequent part ol the story 18 lost till the policeman appeared on the scene and Jound the wounded man lying inseusible’ on the street, If Murray Was a stranger to the party it 18 a litle strange he should take suca an interest in the quarrel as tu resort to saco a Vivient method Oi adjusting 1. ‘The jact that he was arinking Ww the same liquor store when the quarrel bezan, that he was ejected at the same time and re- matned to see the end of it, would seem to favor the supposition that he was one of tie party and concerned i the row. The evidence against him up to the present is simply tue statement of Per- Tam, woo Was concerned in the quarrel and there- Jore interested in throwing suspicica of himselt and iriends, Pertain and Martin Joyce, alias Reddy Joyce, were urresied yesterday morulug by Detective O'Neill, trom imiormation obtained in the heuwbe borhood of the occurrence, and locked up in the Ninth precinct stution mouse, Shortly ater their arrest Pertuin acknowledged he ku 1 about it, and uccused Murray, who lives at No, 29 Keawick street, of tae bloody deed, Murray was arrested at his residence at hau-past six o'clock yesterday evening, aad at once identified by Pertain. The attuir has created a profound sensation in the neighborhood, aud the mystery tat surrounds it will fake some little troubie to unravel, A OLEVER CAFTURE. Atabout nine o’clock last night, as Officer Adams, of the Twenty-first precinct, was patrotlng bid beat in East Twenty-seventn street, he noticed tnree suspiciuus-looking young men fartively eye- ing the residence oi Mary Curran, No. 157 East Twenty-seventh street. Suspecting trom their movements that they were burglartousiy inclined the officer secreted himself in a position to closely watch theiractions. He nad not been long a sene tinel before his tactics were rewarded by his noticing the men remove the covering of the coal hole on the sidewalk in tront of the house, Cautiously glancing around to see that they Were not perceived, two of them descended through the coal aole while the third remained out side to give tue alarm to his confederates in case ot danger. Now was the po.iceman’s opportunity, Rushing to the spot, he seized the watehing bur- glar by the neck, and Kicking the detacned cover On the coal shute, jumped upon it, thus cagin, the burglars in the cellar aud making prisoners 0: the entire party. Sounding an alarm, «“ssistance soon reached him, and the three discomilted housevreakers Were marched to the Shirty-tfth street station house, Where they gave their names respectively as John Wright, Jonn Connolly and James Kagan, and their residences on Second ave- nue. They were committed to the cells to await examination to-day. BARROOM AFFRAY IN NEWARK, Between two and three o’clock yesterday morm | Ingaserious affray took place in a barroom in West street, Newark, kept by John Bauer, in the course of which the latter had his cheek laid open, as alleged, by Charles Koch and Wiliiam Sweeny.
