No. 26 East SEVENTY-THIND STREET, NEw YORK, Dec, 9, 1874 To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— Within the last three weeks several items have appeared in the papers to the effect that 1 bad re- ceived and accepted a call to become pastor of the American chapel in Dresden. Having been in no | way responsibie for these items i did not at first | | feel called upon to correct them. But it now | | Seems to me proper to do so, if only to answer in lic manner the many inquiries which are every day addressed to me on the subject. I, therefore, beg leave to say througn your columns that so far from having accepted, I have not even | received a call to the chapiaincy in Dresden or to any other church in foreign lands. Yours, very truly, CLAKENCE BUEL, St. Michael’s Charch, Flushing, L. I. On tast Tuesday the Church of St. Micnael, at Flushing, Was crowded to its fullest capacity, the occasion being the first celebration there of the “forty hours’ adoration.”” The decoration of the altar was all that might be expected of refinea taste, guided by true piety. The sacred mono- gram, “I, H.S.,” im brilliant gas jets, surrounded , the tadermacle, at the base of which reposed a beautiful floral heart, composed of lilies, with the name *Jesus” in blushing carnations. The music \ Was auder tme direction of @ sister irom St. Joseph’s Convent. The Rev. Father O’Loughlin, assisted by the Rev. Father McCready as deacon and the v. Father Ferris a8 sub-deacon, celebrated the igh mass. The Rev. Father Ferris preached on devotion to the blessed eucharist, At the end of the mass the procession Of the moss Diessed sacrament formed. It was a beautiful sig to see the little ones of Father O'Loughiin’s k strewing flowers on the route of the procession. | During the devotion of the “forty hours” the | conlessionals. were crowded tromearly morning till late at night, and 1,000 Pete) received holy communion.

NINETEENTH STREET SYNAGOGUE. + ‘ane Influence of Temporal Prosperity | upon the Spirit and Morals of Men— | Discourse by Rev. H. M. Jacobs. Yesterday the Rev. Mr. Jacobs preacned in the | Mneteenth street synagogue from the text, Gen- esis, XL, 23—The chief butier remembered not | Joseph, but forgot him.” The Scriptures, Mr. | Jacobs remarked, are didactic and interesting. | Two officers of the King of Egypt are imprisoned | with Joseph, They have each supernatural dreams, wich they relate to Joseph, who in- | lerprets them, and his interpretation is proved to be true, The chief butler was restored to his posi- lion and the chief baker was hanged. Joseph tells them how he had been stolen from his father’s bousehoid and sold into slavery, Of course it is to be presumed that the butler had promised what he would do for Joseph when | he should again huve the opportunity. The Serip- | tures tell us in a few brief words the end of this episode. If there igin the Bible one peculiarity | | above another that recommends it to our consid- | | eration it is that it presents to us men just as they Are, as nature made them, and not with fictitious | @ttzibutes of demi-gods, And thie seems to be one | of the strongest proofs of its authenticity, In | other historiea the fathers and toanders of dy- ; | masties are heroes and demi-gods, and if the Bible | had beew.the work of men they would nave blot- | | ted out all the faults and biemtsnes of thetr heroes | | and made them appear as demi-goda whose dwell- | ing is not with'men. But here the portraits are | | lifelike and men’are presented to us jnst as they | | are. It snows us that | THE GREAY MEN OF ISRAKS | had their blemishes @n@ faults as well as others; | that they yteldea to tempiations and that they | Dad vices as well as virtues, The Bible presents | make Jools of others, Tue man 1s relieved trom | | got him, | to , for \ne purpose , It was not received in time to enable the Board of | i ncaed to amples which are worthy to be cherished, 88 ‘ell as blots which should be avoided. Can “you find a nobler character than Abraham? And yet he had bis weaknea:, and he showed it on the ‘Occasion of nis visit with his wife to the King of Gerar. There was too, showing & partiality lor une son whieh houid not have shown; and Jacoo, whom we cannot de:end. And there was Joseph in this very text mg tg a want of confidence in God, and Moses, the pen- man of the Almighty, qaown upon bimeelf the displeasure of the Most High. These examples show us that there iano guch thing a8 periectiun on earth. If go it would be more than earth; it would be heaven itee:f and we age! It snows us that we ought to take igh hoble views of life, and while adm't- ting the goodness that shines pai tly wherever we see it we should not lean on the help of men but on Him above, who ts equal to all times and all occasions, But we are to learn er les. sons that are of @ personal character and these make the application of the text, We tm prosperity now cast | we im in great distress of mind and seeking guidance and aid from some one in Mike trouble, ia promuse in nis proiessions of Sbilgation for the kindness shown him in his hour of need and he profosses | that such friendship can never be forgotten. But | we see alsu how such men jool themselves and his embarra-:sments; TROUBLE HAS GIVEN PLACE TO JOY. But are these experiences verted? No. The man: | | has changed because his circumsrances have changed, Tne waves of oblivion have washed out Promisea like the foot-prinis on | the is of the seashore, just as we find | here in the text the chie: butler remembered not | Joseph, but forgot him. We see, too, the contrast that exists between the boy and the man. How often the early piety and training 1s overthrown | by new interests ana new associations! The boy in after life becomes just the reverse of what his parents hoped he would be, And it 18 especially to be noticed how this result Is accomplished. am drawing no fanciiul picture, said Mr. Jacobs, Have you not such cases in your minds, of dere- lict sons of Israel, whom you thought would have become examples of purity of life? How nas this change come over the spirit oi the dream of early childhood? Fortune has changed, and he changes with it. And what the text teaches is that earthly position works @ change in the heart, and hence the chief butler remembered not Joseph but for- What a terrible thing it is to see a ma: going astray from the teachings of his youth an: bringing the gray fairs Of his parents, perhaps, with sorrow to the grave. The lesgon ol tue text speaks 10 us in our everyday lije, and you will find how prosperity changes man in another case. | THE POOR MAN STANDS UP NOBLY to nis faith; but let mis poverty be succeedéd by | prosperity, and let bim rejoice in his condition, he | will cry out for more and more. And to the man who | forgets God it is the old story supplemented how | the chier butler forgot Joseph, nd as It is in the physicalo is it in the morat world, inconsistency | ig the rule 4nd not.the exception, and it svarties | sin every step we take We are ad- monished not to depend upon man but on Him | alone who is supreme. Blessed 1s the man who trusts ip the Lord, and who maketh God bis con- fidence and reliance. In God, then, must be our | trust, Ido not mean, said the preacher, that we | are to expect no changes in auman exjstence.

CHUROH PAIRS. | A ladies? fair is in progress inthe hall attached | tothe Uburch of the Holy Innocents, corner of | Thirty-seventh street and Broadway. It was only opened last Monday evening, but it is nightly | crowded with the members of the congregation, making purchases in advance for the Christmas | holidays. There are dine tables in all, upon which \ are spread in tempting afray every conceivable kind of fancy goods and kuicknacks, si.verware, / jewelry, articles of virtu, books, pictures, works of | art—in short, anything and everything are strewn | about apparently in reckless profusion, The more | solid and practical necessities of life have not been | neglected, ag for the modest sum of ten cents one can obtain a chance of gaining a barr2l of flour, 4 ton of coalora@ load of wood. A billiard table is on the floor Jor the amusement of those who desire play. A Punch and Judy show affords delight to the youthful visitors anda shooting gallery 1s in operation for the accommodation of the Irish and American teams. Music lends an additional | charm, \f one were needed, to the gayety of the | acene. The fair 1s held under the auspices of the | ladies of the parish, but Rev. Father Larkin, pas- tor, and Rey. Father Galligan exercise a supervi- sory control. ‘Ihe proceeds are jor the poor of the parish, and as the district is not by any means a wealthy one, the lair will be kept open until alter the holidays. To-morrow evening, 14th, @ grand fair will be inaugorated in the bull of the new school building attached to the Charch of Our Lady of Sorrows, corner of Pitt and Stanton streets. A number of tables well covered with objects of art and virtu will surround the spacious all, and tasteful drap- ing depend from the walls and ceiling. Among the to be displayed are some of great rare curiosity, and there is that wiih the eficient corps of lady attendants the fair will be an entire success. The proceeds are to be devoted to discharging the debt on the new edifice in which school iy to be held alter the opening of the new ear. It 18 to be hoped that the labors of the apuchin Fathers, by whom the batiding has been © m erected, will receive due recognition, and the re- ceipts of the tair will be in proportion to tne mag- nitude of the charity they are devoted to. WALL STREET NOTES, There was nothing on the street yesterday. In answer to numerous inquiries, Rufus, familiarly called, but otherwise known as Mr. Hatch, man- aging director and chief executive oMcer of the Pacific Mail Steamstip Company, had gone to Wasnington to tell all he knows concerning the recent subsidy. If Rufus could only be tnduced to tell all he knows regarding the company he might acquire @ reputation as an interesting witness. Itis better not to speculate upon what Rutus might say. ERIE MATTERS. In connection with this new proceeding in Erie inquiry at the headquarters of the respondents de- velops the fact that the Attorney General has strangely commenced this suit at the instance of a | party named Angell, who 1s sald to be the same party at whose suit Peter B. Sweeny was ap- pointed recetver in Erie, which office he ! held one day, receiving therefor $100,000, He is ‘also stated to be the same party whom Jim Fisk, lately deceased, called the “Swamp Angell,” aiter a famous piece of artillery which at long range delivered innocuous discharges into Charleston during the war. I'he trouble in this case appears to be in regard to President Jewett's salary, and the directurs say they could nut get @ competent man for less. rther, that Mr. Jewett was engaged at this gure complained of at the instance of the English stockuolders, who re consulted just then in regar to th atter, ‘the Erie people also add that railroad presidents don’t drop off tne trees—they have to be-sought tor.

And that Ere had to come into hme and pay this ex- tra figure, which, instead of being unusual, was cheap im view of the persistent op- | position tobe expected from Gould and otners, | which might not even spare the new President's private connection: common law jury would assuredly hola that Mr. Jewett had lent lis repu- tation cheapiy. “THE GOLD SHIPMENT, Considerable excitement was created on the street late in the afternoon respecting a large shipment of gold to California, concerning which an evening paper say! “The withdrawal o! $1,000,000 gold from the banks for shipment to California is explained in this way :—Kecently some heavy exports of wheathave | taken place at Sau Francisco, and the bills of ex- change against the same Were bought by the Bank of Caliiornia, The agents of the vank In this city have been selling exchange freely during the | week, ind are now simply remitting gold_to .Call- fornia, where the money belonga aud is wanted.” PACIFIC MAIL, The Sergeant-at-arms of the House of Repre- | sentatives arrived at tue Hoffman House, in this city, yestefday morning, with the warrant from the Honse tor the arrest of Richard 8, Irwin, the head bf the eee Mail iobby about two years ago, if producing him as @ witness in the investigation by the Ways and Means Commit- tee.

The Ravages of the Epidemic in New York. MORTALITY FROM DIPHTHERIA. The Disease on the Decrease and Hopes of Its Extermination. The recent discussions of thé causes and nature of diphtheria, of the sanitary precautions neces- sary to prevent its further spread in this city, and of the significant facts pearing upon its especial malignancy in certain localities, have at last awakened the medical profession and the author- ities to whom is intrusted the preservation of the public health to the dangers of the situation. It 18 gratifying to be able to state that the epidemic, which has now lasted since the midsummer of 1872, is somewhat on the decrease, and that public anxiety might slightly abate In view of the statis- tics which will be presented below. That the Spread of the epidemic can be guarded against has already been shown in the reports on diph- theria which have appeared in this Journal, and yet affectionate parents cannot overlook the fact that the malady 18 now widely spread over a district of more than five bundred miles toward the west, and js alarmingly prevalent in numerous towns and villages, The health authorities in this city say that it is more fatal and malignant in Buffalo than in New York, and even more generally diffused in Paterson, N. J., than in either of the above named cities. SANITARY PREVENTIVES. . Now, what are the Board of Health doing to stamp out the disease? Dr. Janes, the executive oMcer of the Board, says that the medical inspec- tors of the Board have been disinfecting al! the premises where diphtheria had made its appear- ance, The process of disinfection has been thor- oughly applied to all the clothing, bedding, and in | fact to everything in the affected house- holds, down to vhe very spittoons, Every case has deen carefully studied with reference to the removai of the causes of the malady tn the future, and Dr. Janes states that the epidemic ts now in @ fair way of being exterminated before long, He advises the strict enforcement of all the Tules laid down by the Board and already pub- lished in these columns; the observance of strict cleaniineas in and around Gwellings, good venti- lation, repairing of drains, cleansing of foul areas, washing of dirty walls and ceilings (with lime), exposure of carpets, bedclothing, 4c, to. fresh air and sunligit, &c., where cases of diphtherla have once occurred. OTHER SANITARY RULES. the practices to which, directly or indirectly, the | spread of the disease ig in some measure due, Parents who bave the, well-being of their children | at heart should take care that they have no inter- course whatever with others who are suffering from sore throat, croup or catarrh, This precau- tion should be extended to the use of all articles which have been in the rooms o! the patients, and great stress is to be laid upon the thorough Isola- tion of the sick in well-ventilated, sunlightea | rooms, Dr. Janes thinks it would be very dim- cult to isolate children stricken with dipn- theria from their parents, brothers, sisters, &c., by xvemoval to a hospital, even if a hogpital for such @ purpose should exist, owing to the disinclination of parents to be separated irom their dear ones at such atime. The suggestion which was offered at the meeting recently held at the School of Mines, that in tencment Louses they snould be translerred to the top story, has met wits but qualified approval on the part of physi- cians and sanitarians, as its execution is not pra ticavle in most cases occurring in this city. THE NEED OF CHARITY. One remarkable fact in connection with the epi- demic in this city is that the streets and localities ‘where it has been prevailing Jor the last sixteen months ure still the chief centres of the disease, and, what is still more remarkable, that the same Jamilies suffer over and over again. It ts a signi! cant circumstance that in this case, as in many others, poverty means degtruc- tion and death, Althoodgh the “dragon disease’’ has not failed to visit the luxurtous man- sions ol the’ rich it yet selects most o1 its. victims | rom among tue Boge and needy, visiting 9a it dces the overcrowed and ill-ventilated tene- ments, and the low-lying, badly drained locatitie: which are so frequently the homes of the lower classes. Those who are badly ted, or underfed, who are scantily clothed, and who are but littie | cared for tn any way are very prove to fall a prey to the terrible disease. Prudent charity shouid take these cases in charge and by supplying the necessary medical care and proper healthy acom- odations not ouly save the sick Irom @ painiul death but also the well irom @ propagation of the epidemic, Dr. Harris, the Kegistrar of Vital Statis- | ues, Says great precaution should also be usea IN VENTILATING SCHOOL ROOMS and places of pubiic assembly, from the church to the theatre or lecture room, and that unless peclal attention 1s given to the thorougn ventila- ton -of schoolrooms, in particular, uundreds of | deaths muy yet aflict parents in this city. The | disease, he says, will attuck any one in whom | the poison can find an opportunity of asserting its dominion, and this ig proven by the fact that it occurs in the most elevated and healthy portions of the city. However, the main causes are suiti- | cently dennite to be controlled. It 1s wel known | that the disease 1s particularly irequent and fatal , iu the damp places, where offensive emanations | are the rule, and also on the line of the ola water courses, where the drainage was never thoroughly compieted. Other canses, in Dr. | Larris’ opinion, are overheated rooms, careless | exposure to changes irom close rooms to flerce | winds and other instances of neglect which are likely to influence the air passages, Whatever | produces throat aliments ot description should be rigorously guarded against, and every child who is prone to throat diseases should be kKeptin as vigorous and healthlul condition as possible by the observance of rational modes of aress and living. INTDRESTING STATISTICS. It is interesting to consider the proportion of , deaths to the number of cases of diputheria which have been reported to the Board of Health. Harris says tuat it has varied from 12 1p 100 to 24 tn 100 ut different periods of the epidemic. Re- | cently, about one inevery five attacked by diph- ; theria has died in this. city, but Dr. Harrts thinks | that with proper care and uge of ali the advisable sanitary rules this terrible death rate could be | reduced one half. ~ Diphtheria has undoubtedly its most malignant foothold in the Nineteenth ana Twentieth wards, and one of its worst centres is at the Northwestern Dispedsary, in Ninth avenue | and Thirty-cighth street, and witmin @ radius of | half a mile around it |. One of the worst cases of the epidemic, and one that shows how much the locality has to do with the spread of the disease, occurred at No. 609 7 poisoned by the most noxious gases, Here is a pile of old wooden tenements, and into one of these houses there moved @ short time ago a worthy but poor family by the name of King, who had lett a thoroughly healthy locality in Brooklyn, but had temporarily taken up their | abode in @ new brick house on ihe other side of the avenue, where a family HAD BEEN ATTACKED BY THE MALADY, They moved into the ground floor, which was very dump, and soon their first child became | | i,” It receivea oniy the crude domestic care | which the parents Were able to give it, tue calling in no physician. The child recovered sal- ficiently to run about, and then the four other children 01 this family were stricken down by the disease and died within afew days. [i that Jamiiy had retained thelr residence in a healthy locaitty ‘tne probability is tbat these children would yet enjoy life, if existence in a miserable tenement @vavated instance occurred in the wre‘ched shanty district bordering the Park, between Sixty-taird and Sey- entieth streets, where tuere are yet many deep basins imperiectly drained, In one of the shan- ties in Seventy-first street, close by the Boulevard, vwo geeaea aied from diphtheria in one tamil, one day, and another had died in the same place on the previous day, One of the sanitary rules which should be in. | cluded in those stated above is that caildre! should never ve allowed to attend upon the sick when an adult person can be employed for this purpose, lor children are cially prone to be at- tacked by diphtheria from ages of three to fils wen. The best physicians deprecate the habit of violent and continual swabbing o! the throat—al- though tt nay be necessary in some cas r any injury done to the mucous membrane Ee a pe- cullar growth which is the béarer‘ot t! concerning Which so much has been said of late.

It 19 @ somewhat sin- gular disease, and greatly dreaded, And why should it not be, when so often fatal? Yet, alter all, when taken early by a skilful physician it need not be much feared, The truth 1s, pbysi- cians are not often ealied soon enough, or until the disease is firmly establishea in the system, Too late, is the verdict most often. When & case of diphtheria is known to occur a physician should atonce be called. Do not wait and try domestic remedies, Physicians can manage the disease easily if called in season.
