Nearly every question now interesting the people, not only here but in other lands, is one of religion. We might say, in the words of the Scriptures, that the spirit of the Lord is moving over the face of the earth. In Eng- land a great statesman finds no theme so ab- | sorbing as the power of Rome. The last can- vass was upon “Beer and the Bible.” In France we have demonstrations and pilgrim- ages and votive offerings to many a holy shrine. In Germany Bismarck confesses that his ulterior foe is the Pope, with the Jesuits behind the Pope. The insurrection in the Principalities is really the Cross against the | Crescent, while the young King of Spain has his chief trouble with religion.

Daly. The learned geographer English triumph. The revival in New York is the second chapter of the revival in Lon- don. Moody and Sankey are Americans. They spent most of their lives in America. They were for years prominent in religious works—in the pulpit as exhorters and in the army. But they made no impression. The harvest was not ripe. They were regarded very much as we regard some of those en- thusiastic revivalists who stop sinners on Broadway to admonish them of the wrath to come, and who go from camp meeting to camp meeting in the summer, calling upon sinners to be saved. The prompting came to visit England. They went about their work quietly, fervently, doing good wherever op- portunity served, until in Neweastle the flame burst forth. It was like the prairie fire. It swept with ever-increasing vio- lence, lapping its way through Scotland and Ireland, until it lit up the great English metropolis itself. The unknown expounders of text and song, who would have been glad when they reached England to feel sure of & | thousand in the congregation on Sundays, disposed to see nothing but a mob outside of the vestry windows, were shy ; but this shy- ness could not continue with a plain, direct, sin-pounding, devil-thumping evangelist like Moody, who had no ereed but ‘Christ crucified, and a minstrel like Sankey, who did not pretend to sing, *but to chant pious words and meditations to the sound of an organ. The Established Church—and wisely, we think—remembering how Wesley and Whitefield fared, took up the movement, and | accepted Moody and Sankey as skilled shep- | herd dogs, whose business was to scour the | meadows, seek out the stray sheep and drive | them into the folds. It was no business of | theirs which fold gained the sheep, so long as they were under a shepherd's care. ,It was not their mission to discuss Calvinism | or Arminianism, predestination or free will, the Thirty-nine Articles or the Westminster Confession of Faith, They were neither the advocates of the abbey nor the tabernacle. They had only one message—that Christ came into the world to save sinners, and that if sinners would only turn to Christ and | believe that His precious blood would wash | them as white as snow their work was done. | In this spirit the evangelists labored in | London. In this spirit they now labor in | New York. They are sustained by all re- ligious classes. We believe that Mr. Froth- | ingham, who has his own views about the devil, does not believe in thunder and light- | ning conversions. The Cardinal has not | taken part. Although he has said nothing ‘ against it His Eminence feels, no doubt, that he can fight the devil with the batteries that | came down to him from old St. Peter, and he | does not need guerilla aid, But Brother Moody is understood to say that he does not care whether the converts go to the Catholic Church or not ; that he would take as much pleasure in the filling up of the Cathedral as of Dr. Hall's meeting house. Unlike a ma- jority of revivalists, Brother Moody is fight- ing the devil, and not the Pope, and we could wish, if we dared to advise these holy men about matters so sacred and exclusive, that there could have been an alliance between the disciplined legions of the Cardinal and the guerilla band of Moody. The devil, if we may accept the burden of testimony on the subject, is a considerable personage. We shall have no peace until he is bound hand and foot for a thousand years. And although, as journalists anxious to do our duty with the news, we have some anxiety | as to our columns during the millennium, NEW YOKK” HERALD, SUNDAY, God, which passeth all anderstanding, come in an instant? Is there no growth in relig- ious life? Is there no inducement to that steady development of a moral nature which sums up the true measure of Christian man- hood? Can the Water street wharf rat, who has been prowling all his life about the sewers and kennels of a great city—liar, thief, adulterer, wretch—be suddenly trans- formed into a gentle, God-fearing Christian soul? If this is the truth—and this is the Gospel we learn from Brother Moody—of what use is all that vast body of divinity and morals which comes down to us from the Christian fathers—which comes in other forms and clouded with legends and super- | Mohammed and Buddha? Looking at relig- ion in its largest sense—not asa creed or a combination of creeds, but as the expression | of the faith, the reverence, the ‘self-denial, | the intellect of a people, as the first and | ferent from what Brother Moody preaches and Brother Sankey sings to the anxious thousands who swarm around the Hippo- dromé. {f this is all, let us put away the books that forages have embodied the wis- dom and virtue and genius of all nations. Of what use are those holy examples with which the history of every faith abounds—examples | of suffering, restraint, self-denialand martyr- dom-—if we can all be summoned into the kingdom of heaven as by a signal gun or the tap of a drum ? h Brother Moody's work—and we say it in all kindness to him, and. with the highest respect for his sincerity, his enthusiasm and his rare gifts—is but the work of aday. He may plough the field and tear up many a furrow and root out decaying stumps and sow the seed, but true living religion must grow. The soil must be watered and fer- tilized, the sun must shine and the dens must fall; the laborers in the vineyard must be vigilant lest the tares come and choke the grqwing plants, and we must wait for the harvest. This revival, like all re- | vivals, will last for an hour. Brother | Moody will soon go to other fields; the Hippodrome will close its doors, to open in a few months to fiddlers and beer merchants, and the anxious thou- to those patient, self-denying men in the ministry who live with their people from Let us trust that all the good for which Christian men are praying with so much fervor may be achieved ; and when in the dread future this generation is asked, ‘What has the harvest been?” there will be some other answer than the refrain which Brother Sankey chants,so sweetly, ‘Nothing but Leaves.” Our London Cable Letter. From the prospects of war, with three great empires involved, down to the discussion over Weston, the walkist’s, whiskey, our Lon- don correspondént’s letter fairly teems with interest. Englishmen under the tory lead seem once more anxious to cast off their in- sular shell, to strut as European arbiters and relieve themselves of the feeling that they areas ‘the cankers of acalm world and a long peace.” As the London Times will, on occasion, grandly and calmly repudiate its sentiments of a year before, so England, of which it is the type, raeli’s phrase, seasick of the streak of silver sea, which served its turn so long to denote England’s proud and inaccessible isolation. It Went to war with Russia on the heels of Prince Albert’s great peace fes- tival in a glass house, and now it would fight for the Suez Canal, although it grimly sustained Old Pam when he warned all pa- triotic Englishmen against investing a penny in it. Palmerston's party, for following in his footsteps, comes under the popular cen- sure, and Lowe and Gladstone, in their defeat, are mocked by the triumphant Dis- raeli. London society is moving gayly along in spite of Court mourning, and has its laugh over a sombre practical joke played by the Duke of Edinburgh, who filled the programme at a national concert at the Albert Hall with pieces by foreign com- posers, The London theatres have as many Richmonds—enough to start a minstrel | | show—but as the Moor has supplanted | the irrepressible Mme.

Every car on a street railroad costs, or is supposed to cost, one thousand dollars, Horses are rated as worth one hundred and fifty dollars each, and the lines are equipped on the basis of four horses toacar. It will be liberal to allow one hundred dollars for harness. Thus to count seventeen hundred dollars as the investment for each car, its horses and harness ; and to allow that any line, say the Third avenue, has two hundred and fifty cars, this part of its equipment costs it four hundred and twenty-five thou- sand dollars. To lay the rails in the streets costs ten thousand dollars a mile, and as the Third avenue has sixteen miles, its road cost, therefore, one hundred and sixty thousand dollars. or real estate for stables, office, &c., allow four hundred and fifteen thousand dollars—a very liberal allowance indeed— and we find that this line, built and equipped and ready to run, with more cars than it possesses—with cars enough almost to accommodate its traflic—may be counted as costing one million dol- lars, Allow an interest of seven per cent, and the road owes to its orig- inal construction and equipment account the sum of seventy thousand dollars per an-., num, For two hundred and fifty conduc- tors and two hundred and fifty drivers at two dollars and a half a day, the yearly out- lay would be $456,250. For two hundred stablemen at a dollar a day, seventy thou- sand dollars. For a president say twenty thousand dollars a year, and for all other officers and bosses say, together, fifty thou- sand dollars, For feed accounts, one thou- sand horses, two hundred thousand dollars a year, and for repairs fifty thousand dol- lars. Let us allow a margin of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars for points not specified, and then with every item allowed on the most liberal scale it costs to run the Third Avenue Railroad eleven hundred and sixty-six thousand dollars a year. For the year 1873 this road in its official report ad- mitted an income of two millions one hun- dred thousand dollars, which was therefore a clear profit of nine hundred thousand dollars, That is to say, the clear profit of one year, as reported by the company, is actually enough to pay for the whole road, ditures. On the expenditure side in- genuity is strained to swell the account. Every horseshoe is put down as worth five dollars; every item that amounts to ten thousand dollars turns up at fifty thousand in the report; and, on the other hand, re- ceipts are put at the lowest figure that it is thought the public will credit. It is safe, in any case, to count the receipts of a horse car company as double the amount put down in its report. But it appears that to accept the receipts even as the companies report them they give a return of one hundred per cent on the actual capital invested in the road. On the fictitious capital, on the watered stock and bogus bonds, they may not give that; but the public is not to be oppressed in order to sustain the roguery of these com- panies. It is demonstrable that on the real value of these roads a good dividend can be paid with the fare reduced to three cents and with cars enough put on to accommo- date the passengers. Religious Press Topics. The religious press is more religious this | week than ordinarily, Religion in one phase or another in the pulpit and the pew is commented upon and kindly advice given to all whom it may concern. Dr. Talmage | | thinks the pews are exceedingly dull, and | that dulness in the pulpit is due to that fact, The occupants of pews look dull and stupid and sleepy; they listen with an inanimate | look, and he calls on them to arouse and | meet the preacher at least half way.

Our Paris Cable Letter. Until Paris has allowed its storm cloud of politics to drift to the horizon the re- ports from the gay capital must display more or less of the pervading political electricity. Just now, with the Assembly elections unconcluded and the Minis- terial future in an ocean of uncer- tainty, Paris is watching the wrestling of the party athletes and not occupying itself particularly about the artistic pirouettings that generally engage its attention. The luxury of a non-explosive republic is some- thing it has yet to accustom itself to, and the old ladies who look out of their windows every night in the Faubourg St. Germain to see if the old Faubourg St.. Antoine is not in flames must be given o week or two to get over their ‘attacks of nerves.” Just at the proper monrent will come the production of the two prize Centennial pieces, one of which is to see the footlights at the Ambigu and the other at the Odéon. We hope that the Father of his Country will be presented to republican France in ® manner worthy of his great name, and that his influence will be as reassuring to the neophytes of repub- licanism lately won from the monarchy as it will be cooling to the ardor of the fiery blue blouses that dream of social equality over their petit bleu around the site of the old Bastile. We have before remarked the ex- traordinary capacity of lyric artists for per- forming in the law courts, and our Paris let- ter furnishes us with a trio this week that would win the hearts of any jury if they were only to sing their causes instead of hiring cacophonous tongued lawyers to plead them. Here is a gratuitous suggestion to Offenbach and Lecocq. They could. make a splendid opéra bouffe out of it. Minnie Hauck, after her Berlin triumphs, we are glad to learn, is coming to America, thanks to the enterprise of Mr. Strakosch, who has engaged her for a hundged nights. American artists are doing well in Europe, to judge of the list of good engagements and substantial triumphs re- ported of them from week to week in our cable letters. Pulpit Topics, City pastors of the Baptist faith to-day will instil some of their own peculiarities into the minds of their congregations on heart unity in God's service to insure success and Christ's mission to the world; on the birth of John the Baptist and Christ and their hu- man relationship to each other and the con- fession of the divine origin of the latter ; on the distinguishing characteristics of the His own; on the proper disposal of Christ by every man and His reception by every one, as little children receive Him without questioning and doubting; on the peculiar | principles of Baptists, which have proved a safeguard and a pillar of this Republic, and on the duty of Christians toward Plymouth church, based on the findings of the Council. The Methodist pastors will consider the character of heaven and of its unseen Guest, and His invitation the burdened and weary to come to Him and find rest; the in- terview between Saul and the Spiritualist this government, whether it is heathen or Christian, with particular reference to. the school question now agitating the commu- nity. The Presbyterian pastors will con- sider the glory and joy of the Church and the personal claim of the Gospel upon every man. The Episcopalian pulpit will discuss the recognition of friends in heaven and the character of the midnight mission work of the Established Church in London.

In one way or another ew York has hed) a good deal of opera this ter—Italian, German and English—far more than there was reason to expect when the season began, Mile. Titiens appeared here last wavk for two ‘performances, having paused on’. her journey like a singing bird which rests upom a bough for a moment, carols its song and’ then resumes its flight. She will come back, it is hoped, in the spring, and, although her company is not a strong one, her own great réles compensate for its deficiencies, The season of English opera which beging to-morrow night will be unusually attractive, for the company is the finest we remember since the days of Parepa-Rosa. Miss Kel~ logg is unsurpassed as a vocalist, has of late greatly improved as an actress, and is in all’ respects an artiste of whom Americans. have aright to be proud. The engagements of Mme. Van Zandt and Mrs. Seguin enable the management to produce operas every evening, and this week will be made interesting by ‘ Martha,” “The Bohemian Girl,” ‘“Ernani,” “Lucia” and ‘Maritana.” An event of especial im- portance will be the production of Meyers beer's “Star of the North” for the first time here in English. Miss Kellogg will sing the leading part, and deserves credit for the en- terprise she has shown in increasing the too limited répertoire of English opera. Her purposes and her methods are artistic, her ambition is noble and the public should re member how ably she has labored for the. cause of music in the past in estimating the value of her services in the centennial year If Mr. Mapleson, with all his resources, it unable to do anything for us; if Mr. Stra kosch cannot organize Italian opera for thif: summer; if Mr. Neuendorff has bidden faree well to Wachtel; if Mile. Pappenheim is um supported; if Mlle. Titiens is to return to Eng: land, then we have nothing to do but to de pend on our own American enterprise and talent. In some respects the public will not lose by the necessity. Miss Kellogg certainly will not disappoint us. She was never sd fine a singer as she is now, and we trust sh¢ will appreciate the obligations that are im« posed upon her as a manager. Whiskey. The Tribune in an able article sums up tha whiskey cases, and alludes to the efforts of the “rings” and their methods of escaping justice. But it is not accurate in its history. “The Whiskey Ring conspiracy,” it says, “began in 1871, and continued without in« | terruption till the seizures were made last May.” ‘The Whiskey Ring has a much older history. The efforts to defraud the revenue in whiskey began when Congress, for the purposes of taxation to carry on the war, imposed the high tax. When thia measure was passed there was an amend. ment exempting from the tax all whiskey that at the time of its passage was in bond. This was passed under the pressure of @ powerful lobby, and was really as nefarious a piece of business as the act creating the Crédit Mobilier Ring. From that time to this the Whiskey Ring, with more or less assiduity, according as the Secretaries of the Treasury were vigilant in their duties, has flourished, It had power under Lincoln, an administra- tion which, notwithstanding the war, was as corrupt in many phases of subordinate duty © | as any we have ever had, which sent genorale | to the field who were utterly incompetent, and began the horrible work of reconstruc. tion by appointing men without character or | ability to ‘administer justice” in the South, | Then came the saturnalia of corruption in the time of Johnson, when leading whiskey thieves were in the confidence of the admin- istration, and when whiskey was sold in the | open market for les§ than the tax. We trust to see this whole business torn up by the roots. But the way to do is to begin at the be~ ginning and deal with it, not as a mere | party expedient, but as a momentous and | degrading crime, which has cost us millions of money and deadened the public sense, PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE, titel The Turkish troops in Herzegovina have only bread and onions to eat | Richard Grant White is urged for the post of libras rian to the Astor Library. i Babcock responded, ‘‘Gentlemen, I am too full for—- | pray for me—what’ll you take?” When railways were first talked of the projectors were credited with being visionary enthasiasts, Tennyson, too, is | siderable difficulty in spite of its fine “‘bits,” , occasional ‘‘telling” situations and histori- | with its surroundings.

Dr. Curry, having an eye to the, multiplication of lay preachers, male and female, recognizes the right of any person | called of God to minister, but denies them the right to administer the sacraments of the | | Church or to lay down and take up the office | | of the ministry at pleasure, Dr. Bright | | | i ‘gives a recipe for the cure of dull | | prayer meetings.

The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher defends the preach- ing of Mr. Moody against the many objec- tions made to it both in its matter and man- ner, and indorses his earnestness and direct- ness as something worthy of imitation by other preachers.
