weeneertiatinethnterenstnernee DAN BRYANT; Reminiscences of the Career of the Dead Minstrel. Humor, Manliness, Charity and Good Fellowship Combined. MBO Be DAN’S ESSAY AS AN IRISH COMEDIAN The news of the death of Dan Bryant has caused ® profound sensation in all circles, Deople are especially affected by the sad news of the death of one of the most popular meu that ‘ver trod the American boards, one that always commanded the love aud respect of every one weo knew him, Unselfsh, geniuit, humorous, manly, charitavle and kind, the memory of Dan Bryant wil last lopg and pre-eminent among those of the meny honored names that have crossed the dark river. The fatal disease to which be succumbed—pueumonia—has had a holo- caust of victims during the past winter. Dan Bryant’s family have been severely visited by sickness during the last few months, and his feath was a more sad culmination of ills than Many households have ever been subjected wo. The career of the deceased has been an eventiul one, Jul of inc:dents of the most interesting kind, In 1869, L. F, Harrison, then manager of Stein- Way ana Irving halls, formed an association 10 ving place called the Westminster Club, This society was to continue in existence only during Christmas week, and Dan was one of its prominent members, A grand supper was announced to take Place ac Bryant’s Minstreis, next door to the Academy of Music, and promptly at eleven o'clock tubles were set lor the banquet. About forty gen- tlemen were preseat. lt happened that the clos- Img piece that evening was the burlesque on “Lucrezia Borgia,” and the scene was set as agual jor the banquet. After the wine had passed Around the scene at the back was drawn up, and, on a sable background, the ominous words, “You gre ali poisoned,” appeared, with toe usual luria stage effect. Nelse Seymour jumped trom his seat and shouted for the Coroner, and Jim Unsworsn told bis friends to be sure and give him a good Wake. Aiter the scare was over Dan explained to the Treasurer of the cluo that the supper was tiven vy him and that the ftods subscribed tor it | should be devoted to the purpose of a surprise tor Nelse’s mother tn the shape of the latest styles of toilets :roin Stewart's, Dan was passionately fond of children, and dur- ing the time he was at the Westininstor Hotel he showed many striking instances of such un affee- tion. He brought into that house once @ street bana o! Germans, and, despite the remonstrances | of some of the aristocratic guests, he compelled | the ragged Teutons to play inthe corridor. He then got togetber all tne children in tne botel and neighborhood, and, jorming them into quadriile parties, constituted himsel! a very efMiciens stage manager. When the first great billlard match took place tn Irving Hell, and lasted until two o’clock in the Morning, the manager, L. F. Harrison, was at a quandary how to cet rid of his undesiraole visit- ors. Dan solved the difficulty by cairying up to the head of tie stairs leading to the galiery a half dozen empty lager beer kegs and starting them, Obe aiter apother, down the steps. “very player atonce dropped ois cue and every one made an instantaneous rush for the door. Harrison, 04 unother occasico, engaged one of those bidtaut street bands to serenade bis tamliy Inirviog place. Bewre they hud time to begin, however, Dun came ulong aud persuaded the leader, With a@ brine, to deier the serenade until five o Ciock the next morning.

THO DISTINGUISHED EVANGELIST TAKES MIS DEPARTURE—A RECEPTION aT THE ORURCH OF THE DISCIPLES—AN UNFORTUNATE EXHI- BITION OF TEMPER. A large andienco, by far the greater portion of Which were ladies, gathered in the Charen of the Disciples, Dr, Hepworth’s, laat evening, to take leave of Mr, Varloy, the Bnglish jay preacher, who jor some weeks past has been holding a series of meetings in this city, on the occasion of his last appearance prior to his departure for Bostoa to | fultil an engagement in that place, The meeting ‘was called tor half-past seven o'clock, but it was quite eigat beio:e Mr. Varley appeared on the rostrum. In the meantime the impatience of tue audience was resirained by @ voluotary on the organ, The guest ofthe evening finally entered, accompanied by Dr. Hepwortu, Dr. Armit Mr. | Wilham £.

Praise God, from whom all vlessings fow, which was done with entausiasim., Dr. ‘yng here appeared on the rostrum, aud, in response to au mMVitation, made a short uddress, bearing his tes- timony to the power o1 the unaided Gospel in New York, If the clergy and peopie will stick to that it will capture the city, If have never known & more spiritual, prolound feeling than exists here at prea May Gou give the people the mind to work, Mr. Gepworth then announced that in contmn- uation of the meetings taucre would be bibie readings in Dr. ‘Tyng’s clureh every afternoon, at jour P. M., by Messrs. Logan wnd Bayard of London and preaching in the same place 10 the evening. Services will alsq be heidio the Church of tne Disciples at eigat in the morning and eight in the evening, and all are cordially invited to attend, MR. VARLEY was then presented to the audience and pro- ceeded to make one of his ebaracteristic ad- dresses, He had heard much of the worldliness ol the Church in New York, and so had deter- mined to preach Christ and’ Him crucitied only, the insinuation being that he had a large stock ot something ese on hand had he chosen to oraw cnit. He had ignored denowinanonalism, and would be happy to be regarded as a protest against a division in the churctes, In the course o1 his rewarks Mr, Varley Look occasivb» to have a fling at the newspapers, in whici he mapifested & leeling which certainiy was not love. Religion, ne said, was not that slipsnod thing the news- papers make tr. The reporrers sit down AT HOME HALF DRUNK and write out sermons which they put in the mouth of the speaker they pretend to report, and 80 tell the most damnabie les in the papers, ‘+L know of reporters who were called on to report sermons, who bave lever gone neur tne place at all.” Here be glanced at a jew representatives of the press, seated belore him, as though considera- tions of extreme charity only prevented his re- turning to his origtval occupation as a butcher, “here is no leading paper in the city,’? he continoed, ‘that touckes the vital prio- ciples of religion at all, Au ungodly reporter Wil show the wickedness of is heart in nis re- port, and misrepresent you as he bas done again and again.” Having thus punisved the press of the City for their criticism he exborted his audi- ence to give their hearts to Him who when re- viled, reviled not’agail, and bade them adieu, EPISCOPAL CHURCH CONFERENCE. DISCUSSION ON THE EXTENT OF ALLOWABLE DIFFERENCES IN CHURCH TEACHING AND PRACTICE. Atthe regular Church Conference, beld in the chapel of the Church or the [ucarnation, coraer of Maaison avenue and Thirty-fifth street, yesterday aiternoon, the Rey. Dr. Cramer was made ebatr- man, and after the usual reilgious exercises “The Extent of Allowable Differences in Courch Teach- ing aod Practice” was announced as the subject for discussion. Dr. Thompson, who wished to be regarded as holding briet upon that side of the question, and not as necessarily expressing his own views entirely, took the ground that there should be no difference in the teachings whate ever. The Churen had been established upon earth and given @ story to tell, 1t was not responsible ior this story; it came from God; no one might add to it or take from it, and if the Church eases to have definite and established teachings it may be a body corporate, an associa- tion or society, but it is achurch no longer, This Was a matter which cuncerned the parsons alone, They bad started ail the heresies of the worid; the laity are always orthodox; the jaith which was taugbt to sueir fatnera is sufMicient ior them, and they desire that their children sbould be tn- structed in the same. The speaker thought all the heresies In the World bad Originated in au at- tempt lo explain the doctrines; un attempt to explain the trinity resuitea m Arianisin, aud simi. Jar results had jollowed the efforts to explain tae atonement and the ilucarnauoa, In this country we bave more than A HUNDRED RELIGIONS. There is DO peopie the equal of ours for invent. ing Teligions, and the Whvié boundiess Coutinent is ours to du It ig, But the human wind is not Sulisiied with tue religion toat had its orgia wwe Gay belore yesterday, vased oa the resolucon of a committee.

Americaos, like all thougntiul people, Want a guide in ecclesiastical Matters; they want something Which comes to them with the lorce of authority, such as is ound in the teachings of the Chareu. REY. R. HM. NEWTON, who followed, stated that, notwitustanding what had been sald, were bas always been a great diversity of views In toe pulpit. Inueed, tuere uever hag been any unity iu the do2matic teacn- ings of tbe Church. He then referred to the Nicene ana Apostoiic creeds as containing thuse yundamental or cardinal points upon which all Ohristians necessarily agree; beyond these the doctrines of the Courch ojtea tind no direct war- Tant iM toe Scriptures, but are rather tnierred. He thea proceeded to consider wnat are the ovil- | gations io regard to teaching laid down in our rayer bouks. Mauy of the articles uf reugion fad down reler to points which were ouce re- but which are y seem to me to be the philosophy of the Christian Cnurea in the times o1 the Reior- Mation, and are no more than reasonable gaides 10 the study of the Biole. ‘Tne reverend gentie- “Man cuntioued at some length in an endeavor to show that there must be @ Variety Of ideas and theories upoa religious questions avide irom tho funcamental dooirines, vad they muss necessarily Bud Veat in the teacaing uf the pulpit.

The Methodist Episcopal Conference, which is now in session bere, are to discuss to-morrow the mooted question of Catholic and public schools. Additional inierest is given to this disonssion by the fact that this dimouity bas been solved to the satisfaction of both Prot- testants and Catnolics by Board of Bducation of this cty, Itis kaowN popularly os the “Pough- Keepsie pian,” and, thus sar, has Worked out well.

AGNEW AND SQUIBB— VERDICT. OF THE JURY. Yesterday afternoon the inquest was conciudea touching the peculiar circumstances attend- ing the death of the late Professor Frea- erick W, Walker, who died from the effects | of potsoning producea by swallowing large | doses of conlum, or extract of hemlock, | which he took to alleviate a nervous facial affec- tion fo which he had jong been subject. The par- ticulars of the case have already appeared in the HERALD. ta quarter-past three o'clock yester- day alternoon, several promment physicians being | present, Coroner Simins, M, D., resumed the inves- ugation, THE POST-MORTEM. Dr. J, C. Shaw, who made the post-mortem ex- Anination of the body of the deceased in con- junetion with Dra. Bell and Segur, testified:—1L Made a post-mortem examination on tne body of Prederick W. Walker on April 6, 1875, in presence of Drs, Wells, Simms, Segur aud Drake; iu the brain was a good deai of venous congestion; folx cetebri slightly thickened aud opaque on its ‘enterior portion; arachnoid and pia mater very much thickened and vascular but turning readily irom brain substance; curra cerebri slighly soft, right crus tore in removing tne brain owing to its softness, and presented a dis- colored appearance; right vertebai artery much longer than normal, ana undergone calcareous and atheromatous degeneration; basilar artery larger than normal, with calcareous and ather- omatous degeneration; post cerebral and middie cerebral both undergone caleareous and ather- omasous degeneration; these changes in which vessels extended to the smaller divisions of the artery; a small foreign growth found on pia mater, just at commencement of the cume cere: bro puncta vasculasa, not more than normal; chorid piexus very vascular and thickened; other- wise the brain appeared healthy; the weight of the brain was fifty-seven ounces; the lungs were very much congested, being full of blood; I Co not mean hypostatic congestion; they were exceedi soit, and in places torn during their removalthe heart weighed nineteen ounces; valves perfect; not the slightest rougn- hess on the walls of the heart; the abdominal viscera were found sound; in my opinion the cause of death was poison by conlum; he died from asphyxia from suffocation; Idid not use the microscope in the course of my examination; coull not make any interence as tothe length of time the poison nad been operating before death; without knowing that conjam had oeen taken I could not have known that death was caased by that poison; I have never used conium mysell, nor have | watched any patient to whom it haa been administered. TESTIMONY OF DR. AGNEW. Cc. R. Agnew, M.D., being recalled testifiea as follows:—I wisn to state taat tne extract tnat was used at my office by pr. Webster was the extract of conium leaves, so stated to me by the apothecary who filled the prescription; I find this on inquiry from the chemist, “that extract made from the leaves is weaker than that made from the frutt;’? deceased was told that by going to Dr. Squibb he would get @ stronger preparation, as that which he bad been taking evidently had no effect; they have in the use of such drugs such aata as the dispensatory would give, aiso the literature on that subject and the experience of Dr. Hariey, of Lendon, as to the strength and the amount oi! the dose to be taken; I have had no opportunity since of ying Whether the conium be tok at my office was inert;1 have never experimented with it on tue lower order of animats, DR. SQUIBL'S TESTIMONY. Dr. Sqaibb then read @ very lengthy paper on the case, lu which he asserted the opinion that conmum Was not the cadse of death, but beart- laintiug, Tne Doctor coctd not accounc tor the action of tbe deceased iu disregarding his (Dr. Squiobd’s) directions in takig two doses more than he preserived. He read, in substance, as sol- jows:—Tbe iirst aod only time Lsaw the deceased Was wbout hat-pust two o’cluck on Saturday arver- nuon, April 2, 1875; he vold me Mis aime was Walker, and tot be nad been sent by Drs.

HENKY C, MMs, M, D., Coroner, SPAPER OF THE FUTURE, THE NEV {From the Philadelphia Press, April 9.| If journalists regard the marvellous advertising patronage of the New York HewALD with any natural twinge of jealousy they mast also dnd ia it a very puzzling problem. The NéRaLp is almost dally doing all that ia possible with the present form of newspaper. The quadrupie sheet, not long ago luoked upon as a wonder, Is now lound too smail for its Sunday issue, and while addi. tional pages are added for that edition, it itself ta begfnning to appear during the week. It 1s easy to believe and we must accept it as @ fact that even with these massive newspapers the HERALD cannot at all times find space for all tha paid matter offered’ it, It mast be borne in miad, too, that the demands whicao Make necessary those books of newspapers are not unusual or occasional calls for space by great advertisers, but tne regular dally custom, mainly short cards. Do we not see tiat after a while, and not a very long while either, the HERALD will have exhausted the capabilities of its present form, and then what isto be done? Already the HERALD 18 clumsy. It hos become a newspaper one can no longer neatly fold for his pocket, Itis an actual bundle of sheets. There 18, indeed, @ temporary remedy at its hand—to increase the price of its advertising. But that would be only temporary. The public would soon grow accustomed to sucn increase, and@ the demand would be as great as ever, What ts (elt in so great degree by the HERALD~ the lack of sufflciont space for the mauer whict makes @ newspaper possivle—ts experienced ire quently by nearly all the newspapers of our large cities, To print at ali hazards tnat by which a newspaper lives is to omit that without which It would die, In other words, 1f news 1s excluded ta make room for advertisements tnere will shoruy be no advertisements, for the circu'ation which brings them will disappear, The HERALD is undoubtedly the greatest newse paper of the world, and to the HERALD we must look for the newspaper of the future. Advertising patronage in newspapers must steadily and largely increase, and it will make, is making, the hoge sheets of the present impracticable. I[t ts evi- dent their day is almost passed. What is to take their place ? With this increase of advertising comes the im crease of the reading matter, so-called. The news papers of to-day touch upon thousands of things the newspapers of afew yoars ago ignored. The newspapers of the future will as surely as those of to-day find pew fields of work. We canuot carry about, we cannot even handle, such unwieldly blankets of paper ag all this will make necessary, and the forthcoming daily journal must mak¢ itself poss. bie to be rea PROGRESS OF JOURNALISM. (From tee Pniladeipbia Item.) Journalism bas kept pice withthe best ade vances in other proiessions, In 1847, when Tas City Item was iearuing to walk and talk, we made the prediction thar the day would coms wheu “news papers would be published hourly, or even oftener, if the “news’ fustitied It. The tre- quent daily issues of the all-day City /tem show that ‘the prediction has been almost verified. But mach remains tobe done. We are oiten remindea by New Yorkers and others that tuere ts no first class journal in, Philadelphia—notuing to com- pare with the HrraLp and times, This short- coming we propose to remedy in the course of @ ttle while, as soon as the necessary arrange- mevtscan be made. Philadelpaia is becoming a great city, and the pooh-poohing process 13 no longer eflective iu defeating enterprise. Now, courage, skill, eagacity, iberal outiay and general progress meet with reward. Besides, it is peces- Sary that we should show outsiders—New Yorkers particulariy—that we can contend saccessfaliv with them, upon our own ground at least. Itas well understood that the New York HExatD proposes to do a large business inthis city, Ltwit take @ building, open aa office and make an effors to secure aiull share of the advertising of the elty. Alter a while it willdo the same in Balt more, The HeRaLp claims that it now sells more papers in Philadeipiia than any of our daily papers— four only excepted, It is certain thatthe old, sing-soug, sleepy, disjointed style of journal ism, 80 long characteristic of this city, is ou iw last lege, and some of our papers will have to bestir themselves, or go unaer. Two years ago, only 4,000 or 5,000 New York papers were Sold in Pailadelphia, Now, we suppose, from 30,000 to 40,090 of the World, Times, Trivune, &¢., here, and the sale increases, to the detriment of our papers. Have we aright to complain? Are ‘they not abler, more enterprising, more engaging, more deserving? If they push us from our stools aball we foid our bands and sit down and bemoan our hard fate? For one, we give notice that we shall contend. We have the best appointed office in America—the latest approved adjuncts—the Bullock lightning press, and stereotyping ma: ouinery to match, Tne Sunday Item and the Ledger are the only papers toat distance New York competitition, When we shall have pro vided an early morning eignt page four cent daily We shall success/ully mest and deleat the New Yorkers, LYSAKOWSKI'S LOSS.
