YREASURES OF THE PULDAN ARCIIVES. Life of Cato the Younger—Source of Plutarch’s Lives—The “Germania” of Tacitus, Benuix, Nov. 80, 1875, Under the title of “Sixty-nine Yoars at the Prussian Court (Newnundsechssig Jahre am Preussischen Hofe Aus den Erinnerungen der Oberhofmeisterin Sophie Ma- rie Grafin vom Voss), the well known publishing firm of Deneker & Humbiot, in Letpaic, has issued a volume | of 440 pages, which will be eagerly dovoured, not only by that large class of the public which takes an inter- who love to follow the history of their times in its nooks and byways as well ag along the carriage road. The lady whose private memoirs are now given | to the public was by birth a Pannewitz, and first saw the light in the year 1729, when the testy and eccentric martinet, Frederick Will. | jam L, father to the great Frederick, was ruling Prassia with a stout cudge! instead of a scepter, and passing bis evenings over his pipe and hie pot in bis famed Dabaks Collegium. She died on the last day of 1814, having thus lived through four eventful reigns and reached the ripe age of eighty-five years, of which, &s we see from tho title of the work before us, by far the greater part was spent in the atmosphere of the court, to which she was first introduced at a very early age. Her mother, Fran Generalin Von Pannewitz, was an intimate friend of the Queen, and, as Her Majesty could not allow a day to pass withont the society of the “Generalio,” the latter stipulated that she should be allowed to bring her little daughter with her, She was a bright, merry child, shedding a joyful radiance around her wherever she appeared, and at eleven years of age her beauty was the theme of universal remark. a CRATES 4 KISS. One day the King waylaid her on the stairs and tried | to steal @ kiss, for which piece of impertinence he was punished with @ ringing box on the ear that brought everybody to the spot to see what was the matter. The King beat a hasty retreat with the tears in his eyesand took the whole thing very good hu- | morediy, though it does not appear that he ever re peated the experiment, Like ail high born Germans of that day the little Papnewitz received a French educa ton and in that language her memoirs were written. The present edition is in German, but I believe that the original French text will shortly be published. She toon became versed in all the accomplishments of her day and im many others less common, for she was not | oly a good musician, a poctess and a painter, but also bold and skilful horsewoman and—a crack shot! Bhe tells us little about THE GKBAT PREDERICK, but that little is characteristic, as the following ance- fote will show:— “At the beginning of 1743 I was admitted to the boly communion by Pastor Koppe in Merlin, and after | that time went more Irequently imte society. In that same January the King once sent me a particular invi- tation toa festive gathering at the palace, and did me tbe honor to address me. Among other things he asked after my father’s health, and I answered :— “He ig better, thank God?” “Tne King turned round, saying :-— «What innocence; she even talks of God?” The lovely Pannewitz had, of course, a host of ad- mirers, who called her ‘‘cruel Phyllis,” after the fashion of the day, for, although she allowed a little flirtation and accepted the halting French verses which were laid at her feet by the worshipping throng, she never allowed her beart to become seriously entangled. One pf her adorers makes Cupid compare her to Vegus; but with a difference—she was without passion. 4 COUNTESS IN LOVE. Bat in process of time the slighted little god took a Signal revenge, and this sad incident of her life is re- lated by the Prussian lady with touching grace and dignity, and forms in fact one of the most interesting episodes in the book. She inspired the Prince of Prussia, brother to the King, with a passion as intense as it was hopeless; for he was marriecalready, and, although bis love was fully reciprocated, the discreet Pannewitz would not bave given ear to any but honor- able proposais, The situation was one of pognan’ anguish, and the lady, with a breaking heart but with the firm resolve of a heroic nature, cut the knot by giv- ing her hand to Baron Von Voss, a young and rising fanctionary in the civil service. Several children were the fruit of this anion, and the eldest born was named Wilham Augustus after the unfortunate Prince, whose ili-luck pursued him upon the fleld of battle, and who died a few years afterward, worn out both im body and | 4n mind. After the defeat of Kunersdorf, the Countese Von Voss Sccompamied the Court to its place of refuge at Magde- burg, and here shortly afterward she began the diary which wae continue’ almost without interraption until her death in 1814, All the doings of Magdeburg while the Court lived there in exile, passing from sermons to cards and private theatricals, all the military and political events of the day, tne march of the Russians upon Berlin, the fleeting passions and feelings of the hoar are graphically portrayed in the entries which were day by day consigned to her faithful journal, and the whole forms a truthful and striking pictaré of the times, ‘THE LOVES OP PRINCES. The love passages of various princes of Prussia are | recounted from time to time with more or less detail in this curious volune, Weave just seen how the Jovely Pannewitz herself had awakened the tender pas- sion in the breast of one of these scious of royalty, and many years afierward a similar imeident presents Meelf, the chief actors in the drama being another, and also married, prince of Prussia, and the Deantiful Julia, our heroine's niece, through the mar- viage of the former with Herr Von Voss. The vigilant and affectionate aunt chronicles each day the fatal growth of this passion, with her own misgivings and forebodings, and her fruitless efforts to avert (he catas- trophe, which, however, came at last ip s shape that offers a strange contrast to the heroic resolution with which sbe herself had, just thirty-five years before, ‘buried her youthful affection im the grave of an undying Dut serene remembrance.

The story of | that stirring period, as far as Prussia and Berlin were directly affected by its vicissitudes, is admirably told in the journal. A few extracts, chosen at random, will give some account of the kind of interest attaching to this daily chronicle of passing events: ‘THE NAPOLRONIO TYRANNY IN PRUSSIA, June 26, 1806.—A very sad day was this for the poor Queen, but also for me and for ali who love their native find.

At four we drove with an escort of the body guards over the swing bridges, reached ‘Tilsit at five and alighted at the King’s quarters, After @ quarter of an hour NAPOLEON came, and I received him at the foot of the statrs with Countess Tauenzien, He 18 remarkably ugly, with a fat, pufly, brown face and a podgy litte body without the slightest gure, His great round eyes roll uneasily; the expression of his features is one of severity; be looks the incarnation of success, Only the mouth is finely cutand the teeth are beautiful. He was ex- tremely polite, spoke along time with the Queen alone and then drove off. Toward eight o’clock we waited upon him, as out of regard for the Queen he bad ordered dinner earlier than usual. At table he was in good humor and talked much to me. After dinner he had a long conversation with the Queen, who was tolerabiy well pleased with its result, God’ grant that it may do some good! At midnight we wore back in PictupOnen, and then the Graud Prince Constantine came with his adjutant to the Queen. There was a terrible confusion and passing to and fro, and it was morning before we were in our rooms, One more extract shall close this notice, It is dated the 8th of August, 1814, afew months before the death of this amiable and gifted lady, who, when on the brink of the grave, casts a caim but saddened glance behind her, briefly surveys the lifo to which she was about to bid farewell and offers a touching tribute to the mom- ory of the noble queen who had been her best and dear est friend—the inseparable companion of her later years: When (she writes) I look back upon my past life one picture after another traces its shadowy outlines be- fore my mind’seye. How young was I when I tirstcame to the Court! How soon began the unfortunate pas- sion of the Prince of Prussia! How long, how futh- fully, he loved mel How unbappy has my lot been | How sad was my marriage! 1 the beloved children that God gave me, I was compelled to give my two sons back again to him, and my poor daughter, married so far away from me, lost all her children ove by one. ‘Then came the misfortunes of my dear master and mis- tress; the woes of our native country, which J was doomed to see drenched in blood; our servitude under the cruel hand of the wretch who for twenty long years was the scourge of mankind. Ab, and the loss of my queen! She was fated to die in the bitter days when we were still groanmg under our abasement, and even compelled to become the allies of our enemy, When this angel of a queen was torn from mo bow unuiter- able was the pang! Ab, her goodness was beyond compare—a woman above ail her sex! By degrees and through her own efforts she acquired the most brilliant accomplishments, she worked con- tinually and earnestly, and learned to discard many an idle dream or romantic iltasion of hor early youth, and jooked with a calm and penetrating gaze upon a world of hard facts. One who bad lived with her could pot but admire her rare understanding, her clear, correct judgment, but more than all the purity ofher heart and the deep piety of her soul The King bas certainly the merit of baving contributed much w the cultivation of her abilities and to the development of ber character, but her :mcomparabie hoart she owed to God aione. With what devotion, with what tenderness sne loved her husband and her children, and what an irreparable, nameless loss is her death for both and for the whole country. Ab, and what was she to poor me! How can 1 fina words to express it? In the days when she was still our joy and our consolation how often in the stili- ness of my inmost heart have I not returned thanks to God for having in my old age brought me to the side of such an angel. Facing the title is a stec! engraving representing the writer of these interesting memoirs with a fac-simile of her German character. We see before us a handsome old lady, with a profusion of snow-white hair gathered in rolls round her temples, and, with its accompani- ment of lace and black silk, forming an appropriate setting to the strongly marked but genial features, The costume 18 plain, but tasteful, and ner entire person is radiant with that perfect neatnese which is the beauty of old age. A RECENT LITERARY DISCOVERY AT MARBURG affords an additional instance of the beneticial conse- quences of tho transier which has been made of the Fuldan archives to the former city, where they are now submitted to asearching examination. This is one of the direct results of the (by some deplored) absorption of a small, impeconious principality by a State ol larger resources, The Marburg archives, hitherto the disre- garded prey of dust and moths, are now made to yield, one by one, their hidden treasures. Some months ago the wrapper enclosing a bundle of manuscripts of no particular value was found to contain portions of a life of Cato the younger, in the Latin language, and, as appeared from internal evidence, dating from the carly part of the thirteenth century. The custodian at Marburg archives placed the manuscript, together with other stray leaves which afterward came to light, into the hands of Dr. Henry Nissen, who, after having sub- mitted them to a critical examination, pronounced thom to belong to one of the original biographies used by PLUTARCH IN THE COMPOSITION OF HIS LIVES. ‘The arguments adduced on behalf of this hypothesis are very ingenious, and betweon this and the only re- maining supposition that the Latin is a transiation of Platarch’s Greek, the balance inclines decidedly in favor of the former. A comparison bevween tho cor- Tesponding passages in tho two worka, which thas far are almost word for word the same, seems to leave | little doubt as to which is the original and which the translation. Ip any case, however, we havo before us an interesting relic of antiquity, whieh presents besides sundry linguistic pecularities of a certain value as a contribution to classical philology. The extracts were collected together and published with critical notes by Nissen and with Plntarch’s text for compari- eon, the whole under the title, “Vite Catonis Frag- menta Marburgensia a Gustavo Koennecke reperta, edidit Henricus Nissen, Marburgi, typis Academicis Eiwerti, 1875, LITERARY DISCOVERIES IN GERMANY. Particular attention is now being paid to the stray leaves forming the wrappers of ancient manuscripts, and, not in Marbarg alone, but in all the archive offices and Ubraries of Germany. They are not unfrequently founa to bear the same relation to the materials whieh they envelop, as the outer resplendent leaf of a “prime Havana’ does to the chopped twigs and cabbage stalks inside, This diligenco has been rewarded by eeveral interesting discoveries, At Marbarg an old pagan author has been unearthed; at Munich an carly Christian writer has reappeared, Tho fragments newly brought to light belong to one of what are somewhat arbitrarily termed the Italic versions of the Scriptures, those, namvly, which preceded tho Vulgate of St, Jerome, so called be- cause it rapidiy came into such untversal-ase that all its fororanners were soon consigned to obiWwier und are now extant only in the form of quotations an”. isolated fragments, The “italafragmenta,” edited by jr. L. Zie- gler, of Munich, with a preface by Professor £, Ranks (not the great historian), contains some highly interest isties and of the F iret Epistse of St, John, They orige inally belonged to the Cathedral tn Freising, whentethey | jad begn transferred to tae National Lib ary ia Munich. The volume im which they now appear ts enriched with » photo-lithographic fae-symile of portions of the manuscripts, together with a full reproduction in ordi- nary capital letters, with the view of displaying the es- sential features of the original, the mode in whieh tho ‘words are written, the punctuation, the gaps lef where the parchment has been destroyed, and so forth, We have, moreover, a comparison in parallel columns with other versions, including the Vulgate itself, which ts frequently a mere modification of its predecessors, and with the Greek Vatican Codex. In his learned intro- duction Dr. Ziegler justly lays great stress upon the im- portance of these Italic fragments, not only from a historico-theological, but also from a philological point of view, as a monument of the popular speech of the day, and as helping to elucidate the principles upon which the Neo-Romanic tongues have grown out of preceding dialects, Forms, for instance, like injirmes, sinceres and (sud are highly noteworthy, Curloua, too, are constructions like in co for in eum, propter esca for prepter escam, and conversely cum plebem, sine offen- tionem, &c., for the ablative, More singular still such mixed constractions a» in cadem sententiam, in omni pretatem, &c. Parts of the Pentateuch have also been found, and will tn due time appear. The Pentateuch ts good, but not very new, and the devoutest persons will probably agree im thinking that, discovery for discovery, one of the lost decades of Livy, or the Annals of Fabius Pic- tor would have been better. We must be thankful, however, for what we can get, Dr. Antony Baumstarck, whose labors in the field of classical philology are well known, has made ot lato years the GERMANIA OF TACITUS his special study. To this favorite field he returns, In his latest volume just issued at Leipsic, under the title “Ausf@hrlichere Erlduterung des Allgemoizen Theiles des Germania des Tacitus” The name of Baumstarck is of itself « passport to this portly book, which seems t be full of interesting matter, but which Ihave not had time to examine fn detail. “Die Volkswirthschaftlich Reaction” is the title ofa small work of fifty-flve pages, by H. V, Von Unruh, member of the German Parliament, whose object is to present a popular and concise statement of the funda- mental principles of political economy by way of protest against the cry which bas been raised of late in certain quarters for a return to the old protective system asa panacea for the present industrial stagnation, Such a work is quite in season, for certain truths which at times clash, or appear to clash, with influential in- terests require to be continually reiterated and placed in a new light, to encourage the wavering and to silence the voice of objecters who, taking advantage of the gen- eral ignorance or distaste for economical science, deal for the most part in long exploded fallacies. As might be expected, Herr Von Unruh is partic ularly severe against the advocates of the “reciprocity”? principle, treating them as per- Bo! entirely ignorant of the subject, or as disguised protectionist, whose logic he compares with that of the boy who, finding his hands frozen in winter, cried, “Serves my old father right; why didn’t he buy me a pair of gloves?” The present stagnation in in- dustry and trade is, in fact, a direct consequence of reckless speculation during the halcyon days of the five miliiards, and any attempt to combat the evil by super- annuated legislation would simply, tn the opinion of our author, aggravate the crisis and prevent a radical cure. This question of the five mflliards, which, para- doxical as the statement may seem, have actually 1m- poverished the country, reminds me of a witty pro- posal made some time ago by Kladderadatsch, to the effect that the loser in the next great war should be compelled to receive this sum from the winner, LITERARY CHAT. Tho latest travelling exploit of the ubiquitous Eng. lishman is recorded in Mr, E, K, Laird’s ‘Rambles of & Globe Trotter.” In two years he accomplished 58,271 miles, or moro than twice round the globe by sea and tand, and his account of these long peregrinations con- yeysa vivid notion of foreign scenery and manners, and of the hardships of a journey round the world.“It is illustrated by many anecdotes and forty photographs. Foster's new “Life of Jonathan Swift” is pronounced ‘by the Atheneum to be more like a controversial essay than a biography. We aro to have a new book commemorating the most eccentric wills and curious bequests that have been mada Mr. William Tegg, of London, ts the compiler, and the title will be “Wills of Their Own.” The hypercritical Saturday Review says of the Amer- jean illustrations of Edward Kin, “Southern States of America,’ published by Scribner:—“We are almost ashamed to acknowledge that it would not now be pos- sible to find in any book published in England wood engravings of the same minuteness, precision and beauty as are here to be seen on every page.” Mr, Antonio Gallenga’s two volumes, entitled ‘Italy Revisited,” are full of knowledge and carefal descrip- tion, by a native Italian, long resident in London, An interesting book is Dr. Henry Rink’s ‘Tales and Traditions of the Esquimaux,” just published by Black- wood & Sons, London. The life of Sir John Franklin and Lady Franklin is to be written by their niece, Miss Cracroft, Mr, Sidney Whiting, author of tho very popular ook, “Memoirs of a Stomach,” has just died in Lon- don of a chronic disease of that organ. Captain Richard F. Burton has gone into a new field of authorship, and has published ‘‘A Now System of Sword Exercise for Infantry,” which is highly com- mended as the work of an expert, Dr. Holland’s novel of “Seven Oaks’’ gets rather scant praise from the English reviewers, We have another book on Caedmon, the first English poet, by RS Watson, a Friend, who has done justice to this litle known singer of England’s early litera ture. Mra. Fanny Kemble’s book, “An Old Woman's Gos- sip,” will soon appear from Hurd & Houghton’s press, and will form quite an addition to the history of the English drama, ‘The next great English writer to be honored by the publication of a concordance to his works is Chaucer, The Chaucer Society will soon print the work. © ‘The large sum of £160 ($800) was obtained for a New ‘Testament ata recent London sale.

Thomas Le Clear has returned to his studio in the Tenth street building, and is busy with portraits; mostly of prominent men. A three-quarter length of Captain Budd, United States Navy, is nearly finished, and among others in various stages of completion tire, Professor Barnard, of Columbia College, the late John R, Thompson, of the Evening Post, John J. Cisco, the well known banker, a cabinet portrait of a prominent banker in Wall street, the late Judge Curtis, of Boston, Jervis McEntee, the highest repre- sentative of American landscape art, and Brisbane, the exponent of Fourritrite doctrines, In contrast to these strong masculine heads the portrait of a sweet-faced old lady {a white cap, and one of a young lady, aresident at Elmira, New York, are conspicuous, The latter is one of Mr, Le Clear’s most successful efforts, The subject is a charming one, and the artist has caught the natural and easy poise of the head and rendered the almost childlike delicacy of complexion, the contours of the flesh and tho light and graceful arrangement of the hair with a touch which is not often found in one ac- customed to the strong color and firm modelling which aro characteristic of our prominent men, The light background which relieves this head shows to advan- tage the subtlety of modelling in tho face and the gray tones which prevail in the shadows, while it dees not detract from the solidity of the flesh or appear inhar- monious to the goneral color, Frost Johnson has several figure pictures in prog- ress, One is of an old woman weighing meat, while a kitten at ber feet pulls the scales as it takes a nibble The old lady looks pleased at the apparent overweight, as she does not gee the cause of i, In an interior of French cottage an old woman is seated by the fireplace built of rough stones.

L, Pyne js at work on landscapes from sketches made on the Bronx River in Westchester county, Har- lew, &c. A sunset on Long Island in winter and a sum- mer twilight on the Harlem River are both very effect- ‘ve. Ina scene at Harley he has introduced a train of cars rounding a curve inthe twilight. It is called “Tho Evening Train.” He has commenced a companion pic- ture of ‘The Morning Train.”’ €. C. Payne is illustrating Cooper’s “Deer Slayer” by a series of drawings in India ink. He is also painting in oi! the prison scene from Scott’s “‘Betrothed.” ‘The First Christmas on Earth” and ‘Christ Healing Bnd Bartimeus”’ are two religious pictures now on his easel, Mrs. C. B. Coman has recently returned from Paris, where she has boen pursuing her studies in jandscape art. She has selected hapa. f and others of that school as her guide and has herself produced some very strong work. She has, through the summer, made many sketches in the vicinity of North Woods, in the Adiron- dack region, and at Martha’s Vineyard, She has also many sketches made in the vicinity of San Germain, Fontainebleau, San Valerio, Some of these she is now elaborating. Sketches of places in Europe and Ameri done in charcoal, somewhat in the atyle of Allonge, o: Paris, fili her ios and a esd of Daubigny’s “Sp ime in the Luxembourg,” of two of Con- stable’s landscapes in the Louvre are placed beside her own work on the walls of her studio. Miss Stone occupies the studio with Mrs. Coman, and is best known by her illustrations of books, &c, She has been studying painting at The Hague, and ‘s working out fiveral ligare pictures with landscape backgrounds. One of those represents two children sit- ting koitting in the woods, with a bunch of fagots be- side them. They are resting, and the quaint caps, woollen dresses and aprons and heavy wooden shoes of the little peasauts make an interesting picture, An old man and woman cooking in the open air, and an interior, in which is an old woman holding a skein of yarn go wind are among the other pictures commenced, One of her most pleasing sketches is the head of a litte child aslee) ‘Jokn Thorpe has at his studio many water color pic- tures of views in New York Bay and places of interest which are arouna it; scenes op the Hudson, and in England, on the Sussex coast, and among the siopin, bills of Dorsetshire; the Downs, near Brighton an other places, the landscape enlivened with sheep, which he introduces in so many of his pictures.

NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, DECEMBER 13; 1875.~WITH SUPPLEMENT. ORIENTAL RELIGIONS. MONCURE D. CONWAY ON: THE GOOD TO BE FOUND IN ALL PaITus. Mr. Moncure D. Conway delivered a lecture last night to a large audience, in the Masonic Temple, corner of Twenty-third street and Sixth avenue, The subject, chosen probably on account of the day, was ‘Oriental Religions.” It may be stated generally that, in the dis- cussion of religious topics, Christianity fares worse at the bands of Mr, Conway than almost any other form of belie He began by saying that much specu- lation had for years existed among antiquarians as to the proper site of the statue of Minerva, in the Par- thenon, John Stuart Mill and his niece happened to be walking there one day, when the lady suddenly stop- ped and said to her uncle, “I fee! convinced that this is the place where the statue of Minerva stood.” Shortly afterward UVurtius and his party arrived in Greece, entered fully into the matter, and established almost conclustvely that the spot selected by the young Indy was really the place upon which the statue of the god- dess stood. When questioned as to the reasons which had induced her to select that spot she said that it had struck her that if it had been a Catholic church it was there that the statue of the Madonna would have been placed. From this the lecturer proceeded to say that ‘m matters of religion the simple and obvious is frequently lost in the search for the profound, It was ®@ matter of astonishment to him that the Chinese could have a religion so srmple and homogeneous as that of Confuctus, and that such a prac le as tho English, erg the Anglo-Saxons ge! rally, Mould have rehgions ENCRUSTED 80 MUCH ON. Once, in Oantorbary, be was delighted to see the prac: jn Canter , be was Bee tl tical way in which 4 missionaries were being brought up for thelr work—learning carpentering, basket making and many other useful trades’ But when they t to the museum where all the Eastern idols were, the minds of the young mis- sionarieg — seened utterly. They had not the faintest conception of what the idols were intended to represent y seemed not to know that an idol may be Ideal, and represent great wants of the soul ‘he European notion of Lyne was presented in the East as a og of partisanship, He asked if some of us do not old dogmas in quite as crude a form, and, if our dogmas were r ted in se a the savage would not have quite as much t to be amazed at us a8 we profess to be at him. ‘etalk absurdities about Oriental religions because we take the accounts of the missiouaries, and do not consult the Orientals them- selves, He sacred the case of a Chinaman who, alter a year’s residence in London, went back to China and stated that she English worship a God with enormous ilded teeth, called “Organ,” whi jn their churches, For ‘ich makes a loud noise own he had for years blest and most intelloctual arm in London, and he could say something trustworthy about their various croeds, Every religion is a soul which builds around itself a body of symbola The great monuments of Egypt Tepresented the main ides of the Egyptian ~e durance and perpetuity—and one needed not the irance of Herodotus to know that this people was the first to believe in immortality. Egypt left but one book written on papyrus—the book of the dead. The Jews loft one book—the book of the living. Greece, on the other hand, represented THB RULIGION OF NATURE 1m her most beautiful forms—nature conquered by art. Scandinavia represented the religion of nature uncon- querable, as seen in Stonehenge and the cromlechs of northern Europe. ‘The abyss between the anclent and modern religions ts not So great as might appear at first sight. Whether they had or angels it was imma- terial, because both represented the fundamental idea moral ideas the identity was cqually great All eligions moral ideas, the rdentity was eq jons inculcated honesty, most chastity, Mik charity: Here the lecturer descrnted at considerable length upon the Jast virtue as Aine found at the basis of all religions, and relat two very beautiful le- gends, the one an Indian, the other a Hindoo one. The moral of both was that charity is its own best reward. Religious evolution was next dealt with, the lecturer saying that the long path of religious ovola- tion has been traced im The last of these evolutions was seen at Plymouth Rock, when the Pilgrims fled from tion to persecute in their turn every one else The three great stems of religion are the Turamian, the Aryan, and the Semitic, It was noted as @ curious fact that no new religion would fructify uniess intermarried with some other form. ‘Christianity, Mobam- medanism, and Buddhism were cited as ex- amples, ' The founders of religion had ‘no credit in ficir own country, nor, with the excop- tion of Arabia, did sects flourish in’the country of the men who originated them, Palestine is in the hands of the Osmauli; the faith of Confucius, who was a Hindoo, had to fructify in China The reason is that VAMULJARITY BREEDS CONTEMPT, and that le are fond of the unknown. Thus it as that Vrance discarded the blood of an ancient race for a Corsican, and England sent the Stuarts adrift to take a Dutchman, Practically speaking, there can be no doubt whatever that the faith of the Oriental is of a far superior and service-co: character than that of the Christian, lea of a woman necessarily entering into every religion, was dwelt upon at great length. The identity of a points of the Oriental religions was next 6 sample selected bei ob and Archicondra, The product of the intermingling of the Persian and Mobammedan religions—viz, the great Persian poets, gave rise toa very eloquent outburst, Buddhism was defended in its Practical workings with much force. ‘THE MISSIONARIES WERE ASKED why it was that in 170 years, among a population of 200,000,000 they bad only’ made 100,000 converts of the lowest class. As the missionaries are at some distance from the Masonic Temple no answer was elicited. Various other entertaining views brought the lecture to aclose, Mr. Conway is evidently completely master of his subject and pos- Besses the rare faculty of riveting the attention of his audience from the beginning to the end of his lec- ture. CAUSES OF INTEMPERANCE, HOW THEY ARE PRODUCED AND HOW TO CON- QUER THEM, Mr. Prentice Mulford delivored a lecture last night at ‘Trenor’s Hall on the “Underlying Causes of Intemper- ‘fance.’? The gentleman did not look at his subject be- tween narrow lines, but took broad and humanitarian view of it, In the very outset he disclaimed any pre- tension to dogmatism, The suggestions he was about to make were, he said, simply bronght to the audience as 8 miner brings his ore to the assayist; and the audience was to decide whether they were true or base metal. “The very opinions I advance to-night,” he said, “I myself will combat six mouths or a year hence, should I be- come convinced of their error. I do not, for tho sake of benig what some people call con- sistent, preach tho same doctrine always. He was not in favor of total abstinence, but oftemperance. That word indicates power—the power | to control appetite, Aaron Burr remarked that self- control i the means of indulgence, because it gives & man opportunity to give his appetite greater rem. ‘Total abstinence, on the other hand. was an evidence of weakness, because it showed that a man could not trust bimeelf in the face of a dangerous pleasure, The underlying causes of Lager ag ie" be said, are principally improper food, lack of pure air ‘and proper exercise and overwork. In the manutactaring towns of Engiand pale, emaciated, badly developed men and Women crowd the mills; and when they get a chance the ale houses al: The air of these towns in the north of England is surcharged with motallic gases, so thal a person accustomed to pure air cannot breathe it for fifteen minutes without nausea, and the work people are obliged to stimulate themselves with BEER IN LARGE QUANTITIES, and when Saturday night comes they seek relief by | crowding the ale houses and drowning misery in | drunken debauch. In the southern part of that country the agricultural laborers work sixteen hours a day in harvest time, and support life upon bread, potatoes and alittle salted bacon. They drink to excess every timo they get achance, From thesn facts the lectarer interred the jack of strength induced by want of nutritious iood {8 @ cause of temptation to fndulge !n stimulants, Coming to thi side of the Atlantic he referred to the sewing women of this city, who toil {rom early dawn tll late at night to make, upon an average, seventy-five or eighty cents aday. Living principally upom bread and tea, they break down every two or three weeks from sheer ex- haustion, Yet tese women are the mothers of the race, aud children developed tn that condition come | inte the world bearing upon them the effects of that exhaustion throughout their lives in the shape of weak constitutions, and a continual craving for that strength which should properly have been theirs; and they | naturally seek to supply its place with stimulants. In | this country, too, he said, we have a class of small farmors that’ have lived upon their land for genera- tiona They are really “Ameri@in pedsants,” and they can be found fifty or one hundred miles from New York city. They live upon salt meat potatoes and bread two-thirds of the year; and what is the result? When you look at them narrowly you find they are serofulous, that they are afflicted with St. Vitus! dance, and frequently lunacy, and that they are really fast dying out, as is shown by statistica The children of these people, weak and undevel \. are very apt to fall into ways of drinking, Another im- portant point made by the lecturer was this:—We are bow turning ont of our common schools a class of HIGHLY DRVELOPED CHILDREN, well edacated and with strong artistic tastes, They are the children, mainly, of poor parents, They go out into the world and meet with the competition that ex- ists in trade, They cannot bear the Jow associ- ations amid which they are thrust, They suffer the most dreadful of all deprivations—lack of sympathetic companionship, Thoy are unfitied for such work, and the result is that having no occupation the world has no field for them, they become discouraged and a great number of them are driven to drunkenness. There is to-day, he said, a fiction that all honest labor | is honorable; but it is only @ fiction, because there are | certain tradgs aod occupations to which # stigma is at tached—such as the barber, the bootblack, the hoster, the cook, &c, Now, these trades are indi bly necessary, and they are honot and this stigma is part of an old Fesretie, that floated down to us from feudal times, The er claimed that the lawyer, the merchant and all those % the Too mucH OR DEPARTWENT of the brain, that is the department i order to gain our bread, . . Business permit this, and a man is com| one thing or another; that en. lar department of: the brain is overstrained, Pog man breaks down and resorts to stimulanta When a man: finds bis true place in life, when his occupation ig con- genial, he has one of the greatest incentives to true temperance, As an instance of this the speaker cited. ‘the fact that professional actors an ers who hav attained to eminence are very careful about theit physical condition. The way to cure this appetite, Mr, Mulford thoughi 4g to give the man # healthful body and the exercise o! power, he contends, 1s constantly Serena by exercise, If aman, therefore, falls n,. nty or one hundred times it does not matter. Pick im up again, If he abstains for three weeks he accu- ulates will power enough to enable bim to abstain The class of peo- his will power, six weeks afterward. E in the tenement houses ous circumstances into the mire of SEREE life, which are different from our ideas, Tn conclusion, he said that the higher classes must educate the lower classes up to ir standard or be dragged down to theirs. There was no alternative, ART IN WORSHIP. ‘The Rey. Dr. Washburn, of Calvary church, will de- liver a free lecture this evening in the Reformed church, corner of Twenty-first street and Fifth avenue, before the Assoctation for the Advancement of Seienca and Art § His topic, one which his eminent ability specially goalies ulm to illustrate, is “Art in Its Re- lation to Worship,” THE COURTS.

He took her to the station house, where she was locked up. Mrs. Thompson was also charged with abducting her.
