Time wore to come into the community to mow down all the demorahzers, it might possibly bappen that some of our clergymen, , would either got out of the way with astonishing rapidity or else feol tlie sharp edge of the scythe swooping round their legs im dangerous and suggestive proximity. The truth is, it 1s better pot to into the babit of throwing stones very Ireely Jest some one tako it into bis retributive head to make a target of us, If we follow the Divine rule strictly, “Let him that is without sin cast the first stone,’’ we sball probably keep both our hands 19 our pockets most of the time and lot missiles alone. A man might just as well attempt to swallow his Adam’s apple as to do a mean thing under the impres- sion that be will escape punishment. While locking over the various accidents which it is the duty of the journalist to record we came across one of a very serious and startling character, The poor victim bas our deepest sympathy. It is recorded that “a young man shot himself in the West End.” We bave been poring over four volumes on anatomy and bave critically examined seven Jarge colored charts of the human body to find out where the “West End’ is situated which that fatal bullet penetrated. However, the unfortunate youth has our heartiest condolences, for we are sure it must be a very paiaful wound, We notice a very curious circumstance in connec- tion with the Spirituatist Siade, who unwillingly en- stered the British service for a few months, It is de- clured, a8 a proof of great enterpriso on the part of the Banner of Light, an organ of the deluded, that it res ceives expensive ‘“cablegrams’ from London report- ing progress Itcan’t bo possible! The spirits must be mean beyond compare to allow such a useless ex- penditure, Why cavie when there are hosts of angols who have nothing to do except to oblige their friends? Why can’t they take a little swoop down on London on their way to America, bring a message direct, instead of compelling Slado’s frieuds to use electricity? ah, yes, “the conditions’ are not right. The table will lip all sorts of nonsense for a poor fool with $5 in bis. pocket; but when it 1s necessary to have really rel ble news the head centres of Spiritualism preter the telegraph to the table, Religious coutroversies aro sometimes interesting. When Mrs. Hawkinson, who lived in a town in the Far West, died, the body was claimed by the members of two rival, but not revival, churches, Tbo contest was short, sharp and decisive. The Pedobaptists won the day, and triumphantly carried the “relic? up the | broad aisle, while the organ played ‘Peace, peace, sweet peace,” ‘Tho clergyman was a little incoherent, | being flushed with denominational victory, but ho managed 10 prove conclusively that immersion does not always win. Let brothorly love continuc. ‘The self-sacritice of certain devotees of science can- not be commeniod too heartily, A man, with whom a friend condolod because he had bad fourteen fits in one day, cheerily replied that he required no ono’s | sympathy, for he was simply experimenting with Dar- | win’s doctrine of the survival of the tttest. Some of tho accomplishments of the heroes of the West put the labors of Hercules into tho shade, We ‘for burning the barns and contents of his son-in- Jaw.’? What became of the son-in-law alter bis con- tents had been burned we have not learned, The pathos of the following verse 18 only equalled by the amount of good sonse it contains. The spelling is a bit faulty, but the logic is unexceptionavle. It con- tains an urgent invitation which ought not to be neglected :— You better come now ef you comin’, Ole Saten 18 loose an’ a-bummin’, De wheels ov distrucshun’s a-bummin’— Ob, come along, sinner, ef you com This reads u little like the product of a revival meet- ing, in which the anxious seats are being rapidly tilled by thoso who hava reason to tear “the wrath io come.” | puts the wholo matter of religion light;— Do time is right nov, an’ dis hero's do place. ‘Let de salvasbun sun sine squur’ 1 yo? Jace, Fight de battles uv de Lord, ght soon an’ tight Inte, An? you'll allers Une a latch on de goldin gate, No use for ter wait till to-morrer, Do #un masn’t set on yo? sorrer; Sin's ez sharp cz a bamboo b: in the proper ‘Ax de Lord fer ter fetch yo’ up higher, \, There are some things which it 1s more pleasant to | givo than to receive, in the catalogue of which we put advice and medicine at the headof the column, Every ovo is willing to dispense these things with unsparing hand to those in need, and to dispense with both go far as he is himself concerned. But when wa speak about specie payment the rule faiis to apply, and the word of emphasis is receive and not give. It may uot be necessary for every clergyman to be a critic and a scholar, but itis well to have a littlo of that sense which 18 said to be common, but which, common though it be, is not found in excessive abundance. A Methodist minister said the otucr day ata gathering of theological lights that.he thanked God none ot his famtiy were at tho Brooklyn Theatre | which burned, for he had no doubt that every victim ot that calamity was in heil, And yet that very mm- ister complains because his aalary is one comes to hear him preach. It #6 such a man’s salary ought to be in perpetual arrears, If there 1s anything that would bardon a man’s heart and justity him in refusing to pay bis pew rent tt is such a sentiment. A great many ministers are introducing blue glaes into their study windows with the hope of a decided improvement in their sermons. This clerical change | ought to be effected at very slight expense. It is only | necessary to tako tho extretne blue out of their the. | | | | elogy, leaving it less dense, and they will have coloring matter enough to give th> whole window an indigo hue, ‘Tho result of such an experiment could hardly fail to be beneficial. The color will do moro good in the window than in tho theology, ‘taunt Becky,” a lady, who, if she were in Africa, | would be regarded as a blonde, but who in New York Js thought to be something of a brunette, has pretty nearly reached the mature age of 112 years. She has just been immersed and recetved into the church of | . Mr. Rowell, a fact which is proof positive that if | ive long enough we shall all become Baptists, Be- | ing cut down, however, in the vigor of our youth, at seventy or eighty years of age, we hold on to the illu. sions of Presbyterianism or Methodism. “Aunt | Becky” has taken jt into her ancient head to promul- gute a theory of longevity with which we are compelled to disagree, She says sho attributes her ability to | Cling to this sublunary sphere to tho fact that sho never had a husband to tell ber “what sho must and must not do.’ Wo protest in tho namo of a jong, and at times a voleanto, experience that that is not what hus. | but, on the other buad, are, after generations of con- | nyson bas written their motto:— | Episcopal vands are for, They are never, under any circum- stances, permitted to use such strong words as imust, tinuous rebellion, in a state of docile subjection, Ten. | Theirs not to make reply, ‘Vheirs but to dg or die, and *‘Aunt Becky’? bas lost between cighty and ninety years of despotic rule over some masculine destiny by her youthful indiscretion of judgment, and who knows but what at this very moment, if she were a married and pot a single woman, she might be 120 years old instead of 112; such ts the magic of the conjugal rela- tion, MINISTERIAL MOVEMENTS. | REFORMED (DETCH.

Mendes, of Manchester, Kugiand, who 1s preaching in the Nineteenth street Synagogue on ‘probation, delivered his third lecture io that edifice yesterday morning belore a largo congregation, ‘The attention of the Worshippers was distracted ro- peatedly by the movements of a couple of uninvited guests, which had gained access through a window and had not the grace to remain quiet and attentive auditors, Even so small a thing as a wander. ing pigeon can claim the attention of thosa whose thoughts are supposed to be set on higher things. Mir. Mendes selected his text from Exodus, xxxit., 1— “And when the poople saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto hiin, Up, make us gods which shall go beforo us; for ax for this Moses, the man that broaght us ap out of the land of Eyypt, we wot not what is become of him.” Our interest, said the speaker, has been engaged this morning by the account of the Egyptlan bondage of our fathers. Our wonder bas been excited by the story of their miraculous deliverance, and our holiest feclings have been aroused by that soul-inspiring drama enacted on Sina The wondertul thing Is the dispo- | sition of the people who hat been led out of Exypt by Moses, When Moses did not come n out of the mount they turned to Aaron and said, “Make us gods which stall go before us,” and Aaron asks tor gold in order to gain time, but they williugly sucriticed all, And Aaron inade a moiten caif and built an altar before 1 lor “the glory of the name of the Most High and the one God whose being ts eternal,"? What should Aaron havo done? ‘Could he have acted otherwise? My friends, Where is the man who will staua and endeavor to sicm the resistioss torrent of the will of a pecple? Mid all the prophets who evor spoke succeed In turning the stiff! necked peoplo from their — gins? No! What shall = we say of Isracl, the son of Gol se soon to forgot, 80 tickle minded that one day he js allfor the sorvice of his father and the next thé reverse, Israel says (bere is no use pointing out the things of the old Fuligion; let us make new gods; this tain Moses we know not Where hes, Note the wograciousness in the manner of speaking of the man who had tod them out of Kyypt, ‘this man Moses.” So spoke our fathers of the man who had been thoir guide, ani thus speak we now of the rabbia whe have been 80 long our guides, make ua new gods, a new religion; we want a change, let us have it, And since at the pros. ent day we must h something of a moral tendency our new god ethical in its attributes, The new god scot up already ior us to worship.

Hard times bad borne heavily on some of these emigrants, avd their disposition to leave howe in consequence had been further quickened by the alluring prospects of the distant colony of New South Wales and by the offer of an assisted passage, The colonial government had made aa appropriation of £12,600 to forward the scheme of emigration, and out of this amount a sum of $60 was allowed for each emi grant possessing the suitable qualifications, The emi- graut was, however, required to provide $40, the re- mainder of the passage money. in one way or other the terms of the passage came to be oxaggerated to the advantage of the emigrant, until the tinpression | got abroad that it was free, upon which casy condition large numbers of the unemployed were ready to un deriake the voyage to the antipodes, Under the cir- cumstances, the pumber of applicauts at the offee of the agents; KR. W. Cameron & Co,, was very much Jarger than was convenient, but the tuformation that $40 wus necessary to procure a passage, backed by the restrictions imposed in respect to the quality of the emigrants needed, had the effect of very much dimtn- tshing tho zeal for foreign voynging. CLASS OF KMIGRANTS WANTKD. The colonial government is particular in defining | the class of emigrante which it most needs, and ap- | pears indisposed to help in the slightest degree those who do not come within the qualitications which it | proposes, It will have nothing to do with clerks or salesmen, for instauce, but railroad and other iaborers, mechanics nnd tradesfolk are the people required to build up the distaut colony, Then there must be a minunum chance of their becoming a burden on the community, Physicaliy they must pass the serutiny of the doctor, and their moral characters must be a 80 well vouched for, ‘The emigrants of the Sierra Nevada were of the class here indicated. The adults were able bodied and sound, well lit for the toil which the emigrant’s life imposes, The ages of the band, exclu. sive of about a dozen of child! to thirty-nine years, (he average six years, In all 158 persons.took passa ‘Among these there were twenty-four married coup! eighty-ore single men, eight single wome! } children between the ages of une and twelve years and | six children under a year old, WHERE THRY CAME PROM AND THEIR OCCUPATIONS. Especial care had beon tuken that there should be no city ‘loalers” among them, and therefore such as had | city addresses were bond fide laborers or mechanics, Others were trom the States of New York and Penn. sylvania, a large complement came trom Connecticut, wh bere were ulso some trom Ohio, New Jersey Massachusetts, Lilinois and a few from different par: of Canada, Most of them were of Irish birth, but a good many also came trom Scotland and Euglaud.

It was a little after one o’clock when the vessel was hauled out into the Kast River. There wero many affecting partings, and some words of truth wero spoken concerning the hard fate which had made some of the passengers emigrants for a second time. The ship was taken out into mid-stream and cast anchor a considerable distance off the Battery, It 18 not likely however, that slo will put to sea befure brenk of day on Tuosday morning.

BIRTH OF TWO LIONS AND A YOUNG CAMET, “Hello! have you got young elephants, recent bifths, here?” asked a Hena.p reporter of Fred Rivers, one of the attendants In tho menagerio department of tho Central Park, yesterday. “Young elephants! I guess not. Elepbants are never begotten in captivity. Somo enterprising por- son printed in one of the papers recently that an elo- phanthad been born here, but that was not so, and was probably only a showman’s dodge. Klephants never breed alter capture, and 1’m staking my situa- tion on it that there never was an instance known of such athing. Hero are our elephants, sir,” and he Jed the way to the north ond of the building connected with the ancient arsenal, and now exclusively devoted to the accommodation ‘of the larger animals in the Park collection. The reporter had been given to understand that there had been some additions made to the menagerie department of tho great Metropolitan Sure Ground, and as he desired to see only those he ro- quested some information concerning them, bestowing meroly a passing glance on the elephants, Riv once showed the way to a particular cago, where was confined a beautitul uinen Of Ube Asiatic lioness, the mother of a pair of the prettiest cubs over | seen, The later were coiled up in one corner ot the | compartment, and look shyly at the visitors, They were burn ou October 25, the celebrated lion Canada being the sire, They weigh respectively seven | pounds, aud are just as cute "looking and a8 scemingly intelligent as ane — could imagino, The mother is cailed Nelly, eight yours of age, und, as has been said, 1s a beautiful speci- men of ber tpecies, ‘The cubs are fed ou milk, which is supplied in a large platter, of which the maternal takes her share and considerately doles out a suill- cient quantity to her young. In¢n adjocent cage are four young lions, ali two years of age, and frolicsome as babies, but less noisy. ‘The next visit was made to a brace of infant pan- thers, six Weeks in the world, but precocious and en- | tertaiuing toa high degree. The other acquisition to | tho array of animals is a c ago, Which has u pondorous body and head, but legs | that are strikingly disproportioned, ‘Tbe camel usuaily | curries its young twelve months, Alter the season opens—the circus season-—t menagerie at the Park will appear rather slim, as more thon one-halt of animals there now are ‘owned by P, T.

M. ‘The boy of thirty years ago, taught then that it was “better to be right than to be President,’ but since grown to man and broker’s estate, still sticks to tho teachings of his childhood—in soraewhat a restrictive manger, however, and in a way referable particularly to stock—insomack that the average broker, blind to the moral teachings of his youthtul days and heedicas of the aphorisin above quoted, would to-day rather be right upon tie stock market than be President and the King of the Cannival Islands combined. Just now it seems rather difficult to agsumo the desired position of reciituae, for the market 18 1 a condition of “flop,” where “heads I win, tails you lose,” designates the bet- ting, and in which, according to Cowper, “a tool must now and then be right by chanco,’? So there has been u good deal of guess work about the market to-day, Yestorday’s strength fizzled out, like the Widuw Cliquot badly corked, before the morning was halt through, and though prices did not recede very materially tho exbibit at the end of the day Was not satisfactory to the bull interest, Almost the only incident of the day which was likely to affect stock mutters was exhibited in a Lauleversement in the direction of the Chicago and Northwestern and Rock Island roads. It ts stated that Messrs. Tracy, Tows and Marvin havo resigned from the rst, av equal number ot directors from the | second, and that Jay Gould, Sidney Dillon and Oliver Ames have been appointed to the vacancies, Aa part of the programme David Dows, H. H. Porter and W. L. Scott, present directors of the Rock Istand road, will enter into the Union Pacific direction. As mapped out the intention clearly points to au alliance between the three roads above named, by which a direct line to Chicago will be establishod, and it 1s /urthormore inti- mated that a controlling influence through intermediate connections will be established to the terminus of the Erte Railway and thence by this line to New York city, This schome came in direct antagonism with Michigan Central, Lake Shore and Central and Hudson, and it 1s probable that being thus viewed the prices of these stocks receded to-day, Furthermore it is stated as part of the plan that tho Western Union Company will be required to pack up polesand wires and quit tho premises of the above road, tho Atlantic and Pacific line baving acquired, through Mr. Gould, such right and title ag was pos- sessed by the old company. The immediate effect of tho above arrangement was, however, to break the prico of Rock Island, Mr. Gould, asa director, proving any- thing butasweet smelling savor in tho nostrils of holders, Burlington and Quincy fell from 106 to 104 for fear of the opposition, and the rest of the market was comparatively weak from the mixed and uncertain state of things, ‘THE SALES TO-DAY.
