THE TEMPERANCE CACM. Francis Murphy Bids Farewell to His New York Friends. ‘Captain Boyton Makes an Appeal for the Life-Saving Corps. The large hall of the Cooper Union was literally packed to overflowing yesterday afternoon by an audience gathered by the announcement of an un- usually attractive entertainment, gotten up under the auspices of the National Temperance Institute, J. B, Gibbs President. ‘The character of the assem- blage was also highly respectable, the faces of many prominent citizens unfamiliar at similar gatherings being seen among the number. The entrance of Francis Murphy and his son Ed- ward on the platform was the signal for several rounds of hearty applause, which were renewed again and again upon the appearance, in his tasteful uniform of the French Life Preserving service, of Captain Paul Boyton, so well known for many deeds of aquatic endurance and daring. “Nan, the news- boy,”’ with his two companions of the New York Vol- unteer Life Preserving corps. were seated beside the gallant captain—under his influential wing, as one of the speakers described it—and, with their rudg@y and sturdy features, were an interesting feature of the oc- casion. After reading and prayer by Chaplain Hutchings, President Gibbs congratulated the immense andience upon the evidence it afforded of the interest felt in the temperance cause in this city. Kev. W. C. Steele stated that over two millions of people had been reformed throughout the country through the exertions of Francis Murphy and his co- work Referring to the Life Saving corps, he said that ‘Nan, the newsboy,"’ had told him that of the fifteen persons he had himself saved most of them were victims of hard drink. The speaker said he had no religions prejudices in this work, Protestant and Catholic we like in his eyes, and, addressing “Nan, the newsboy,”’ he asked him if, be- fore saving a man’s life, he had ever inquired whether the man was aJew ora Christian. Nan shook his head promptly in response, amid much applause. NAN, THA NEWSAOY'S SPEECH. President Gibbs said one of the objects of the pres. ent gathering was to raise funds for ung yncee of procuring life saving apparatus for the Life Saving Corps, and introduced , the Newsboy,” as a great hero, in fact literally a cold water boy. “Nan” was called upon for a speech, to which he responded by saying :—"‘Ladies and Gentlemen—I thank you for your kindness to me,’ and took his seat. Gilbert Long, one of Nun's companions, was introduced and said, “We don’t save nen for money, but we wantto save souls.” (Applause.) CAPTAIN VAUL BOYTON'S REMARKS, During the latter part of th® proceedings there were loud calls for Captain Boyton, who responded by saying that he had been placed in many embar- rassing positions, but he never felt so much em- barrassed as he did at that moment. He felt as if he were going over a _ water- tall without knowing where he might bring up. Another cause for his embarrassment was that he was not a total abstinance man, although practically a cold water one, and he felt as if he were sailing under false colors, But their work was about the same, for while the temperance men threw a man on cold water he and his companions saved him by taking him out of it. (Laughter.) Referring to the Life Saving Corps Captain Boyton said it was time something was done to protect people from falling into the mantraps to be found about the docks on the East and North rivers, especially the former. By calculation it had been found that some two hundred lives at these points have been lost annually. Some unfortunate suicides, some poor drunken sailors and some from other canses. Touching the raising of money to establish life saving stations on the rivers, the Captain said a man with above the ordinary amount of brains, said to him the other day, “Boyton, how does this thing pay you?” “Some men,” con- tinued the speaker, ‘cannot do a good action without seeing a doar behind it." The Captain then ex- plained that there were already $1,100 in the funds of the corps, and he hoped to see the amount soon in- creased to $1,500. It was the cunsciousness of performing humane acts that ‘animated and repaid those engaged in the work. Apologizing for his want of speechmaking powers, and turning to the three boys, Captain Boyton concluded by saying:—“There is more eloquence in the presence here of these noble. lads than anything I can say.”” Professor Weeks here sang, with powerful effect, the appropriate song of “Man the Lifeboat,” while a collection was taken up for the purpose of aiding the Volunteer Lite Saving Corps in carrying out their humane designs, wz THE MURPHY FAREWELL—INTERESTING ADDRESS BY CHIEF JUSTICE NOAH DAVIS. ‘A farewell was given to Francis Murphy, the Gospel temperance advocate, last night in the Free Taberna- cle of the Methodist Eviscopal Church, Thirty-fourth street. The church was crowded to the doors, and it was necessary to hold an overflow meeting in the basement, which was also crowded. After singing and prayer by the Rey. Dr. King, short addresses were delivered by the Rey. Dr. Daniels, of Chicago, Presbyterian clergyman, and several of the Murphy converts Chief Justice Noah Davis also addressed the meet- ing in a yery earnest speech, in the course of which he said that he desired to express his deep regret that Mr. Murphy's work was closed in this city. No- where were the fields so white, or rather black, for the harvest as New York, and nowhere could the great loving heart of Mr. Murphy continue more effectnally to carry on a work so great in its results that it had no parallel in the history of our day. If it were in his power to so order it Francis Murphy would remain in New York until every rum shop in the city was turned into a house of prayer. Judge Davis then referred to the criticism that had been made on Mr. Murphy’s work by temperance advocates and others who said that many of those who, under the influence of the excitement of the meetings, had become total abstainsrs, would return again, when the excitement was over, to the paths of drunkenness and vice. There never was a work, in the opinion of the speaker, of which that criticism could not be made; a reaction invariably followed all great efforts, not only in the religious but in the scientific world. But if this reaction did occur Francis Murphy would not be responsible for it. Under his advocacy 25,000 persons had signed the pledge in this city; that was a wonderful work. Because the locusts might come and destroy the harvest were we to withhold the plantiny of the seed? The duty of keeping the men an women who had signed the pledge in the paths of temperance very largely fell upon those whom. 1 had addressed. “Their duty was to take care of those who had come nnder the influences of this Gospel teurperance by watching over them—feeding them if they were hungry, clothing them if they needed’ clothing, advising with them when advice was helpful—and encouraging them in. their recent well doing, and, above ail, sus- taining them by their prayers. He would, for him- relf, urge that an organization for this purpose should be originated at that mecting and tinus prac- tical support would be given to this great work, and he hopeu that every man and every woman within the sound of his voice would render assistance in that direction. The weapon with which Francis Murphy fought was the sword of love, and it was a love that was shown in the life of Jesus of Nazareth. The work that Mr. Murphy had done made him feel that he wouid rather wear it as a crown than that of any royal crown on earth. He did not know where Cesar and his legions would appear in wen; or where Napoleon and the millions he had jain would be in the unseen world, but there was no doubt where Francis Mur he had been instrumental in saving from ete rain Would be when the heavenly hosts were gathered together. olutions, approving of Mr. Murphy's work, were then passed unanimously. A very elegant floral cross and ® basket of flowers were presented by the Christian lady workers to Mr. jurphy, who acknowledged the gift in a very earnest speech and with considerable pathos. The singing of the “Sweet By and By” and the making of acoliection brought the interesting pro- ceedings to & close, THE AMERICAN TEMPERANCE UNION. The American Temperance Union held a Gospel temperance meeting last night in the large hall of the Cooper Union, The proceedings were opened by the singing of one of Moody's and Sankey’s hymns, after which part of the thirteenth chapter of Romans was read and prayer offered, Tho names of the new board of officers for the noxt quarter was officially’ aimonneed, and the Rey. Mason Evans was formally introduced and installed president. He stated — that, proud as he 4 of the honor conferred, he place had sought him, not he the pl In conclusion he said his motto in conducting the Dusivess of these meetings cousisted of two words, m and sing,” and called on the choir tor another hymn. The remaining officera were announced as follows:—Vice presidents—John 8, Ferguson, William Oaks and Dr. Richards; Chaplain, Rev. John Keller; Corresponding Secre- ii H. Couillard; Recording hecrotary, JW. Gull; Treas Dunean F, Seott; Financial Secro- tary, E. H.

Fitz- gerald, a well known member of the Essex county Bar and at one time an influential leader of the local democratic party, but who of late years had degenerated into a sot, has turned over a new leaf, and will, on Wednesday even- ing, deliver’ an address at the First Re- formed Men’s Club, in Newark, a temperance or- anization. Mr. Fitzgerald served two yearA ip the New Jersey Assembly and repeatedly presiddd over that body as Speaker pro tem. He was at that time a man of fine talents and a very effective political orator. His reformation is a subject of widespread local gratification. CHURCH AND STATE. DR. JACOB 8, SHIPMAN CONDEMNS THE GRANT- ING OF SPECIAL IMMUNITIES TO RELIGIOUS CORPORATIONS, The Rev. Dr. Jacob 8, Shipman, the rector of Christ Church, delivered last evening before his congrega- tion a lecture on “Church and State.” He began by quoting the saying of Christ—“My kingdom is not of this world.” It is strange, but tr said Dr. Ship- man, that more than seventeen centuries were to pass away before any of the nations of the earth should give to this principle its full and practical recognition. ‘The legislation of this country from the beginning of our national existence has been directed by it, and we find it embodied in the constitution of the United Stafes. One national church we cannot have, but there is nothing in the federal constitution to prevent our having an established church in each of our States. As a matter of fact, however, the constitutions of the States agree with remarkable unanimity in for- bidding any legislation looking to the establishment or compulsory support of any religion whatever. 'The constitution of each State guarantees absolute toler- ation, but absolute toleration is not all that we want. We want absolute equality. In the great majority of States we have this, but in New Hampshire, North Carolina, South Carolina Mississippi, Tennessee, Delaware and Maryland the constitutions contain provisions which discriminate either in favor of religion or against it, ‘These ex- ceptional instances point to a possible danger which aay be met, and I believe and hope soon will be, by some amendment to the federal constitution ex- cluding the subject of religion from the legislation not only of Congress but also of the States. Let the emits be but once admitted that the State may under some circumstances lend its support to a re- ligion, and there is no telling what in time the result may be. THE QUESTION IN NEW YORK. This principle is now stealthily seeking recognition and—notably in New York—has been recognized by those who control political affairs, I allude to the well known efforts which are being made to propa- gate religion by means of State funds raised for the support of the common schools. The Romanists have not been satisfied with the ruling of the Bible out of the schools. Whether they were right or wrong 4s to the fair- ness of King James’ version, the Protes- tants were certainly wrong and’ only wrong in claiming a legal right to have the Bible read as a re- ligions book at all. In omitting to teach religion the public school is not irreligious. It simply leaves that branch of education where it probably belongs— in the family and the chureh. With this, however, the Romanist is not satisfled. He cannot conscientiously send his children to schools where the Protestant religion is taught, nor to those where no religion is taught. He feels bound to send them to schools controlled by the priesthood of his own Church, and this he has an undoubted right to do. But when he demands that these schoois be supported in whole or in part from the common school fund of the State, he demands more than can justly be yielded. If he ask simply that the sum which he himself has actually paid to the common school fund in taxes, even that cannot justly be yielded. ‘The State provides public schools, not simply ax a favor to the people, uit for her own protection. Weare not taxed simply for the education ot our own children; we are taxed for the education of the children of the State, Every one shares in the common benefits which accrae from the general intelligence of its people, and every one ought te pay for it. GOD IN THE CONSTITUTION. The Romanist is not alone in using the word “god- less” to stigmatize things not in themselves un- odly. With the Protestants the whole world is god- jess, because the name of God is not mentioned in the federal constitution. The speaker went over the familiar arguments which demonstrate the absurdity and impract:cability of the remedy for this deticiency which is proposed by the Puritans, He proved upon legal authorities and by logical statement that the State could not be viewed in the light of 4 moral person. Therefore, a confession of faith by the State could not redound to the honor of God. In reference to the exemption of church property from taxation Dr. Shipman said the value of such property in this country is now about $00,000,000, and will in a few years amount to $3,000,000,000, | He eschewed all discussion of the policy of taxing this property. The only question that he considered was “Is such exeiption right?” The general theory of taxation is that that which is protected by govern- ment may justly be compelled to help maintain it. Government protects the property of corporations as well as that of individuals, Where no union exists between Church and State the whole duty of the State in the matter of religion is coufined to mere protection, When it goes beyond thix and un- dertakes the work of promotion it passes out of its natural and proper sphere. It might, with just as much justice, make a direct appropriation for the support of religion as to exempt religious bodios from taxation. The effect of the exemption is to increase the rate of taxation on all other property. ‘The State loses nothing, but the people have to pay for it, I would like to see all church property throughout this land taxed to the last dollar's worth, not merely as a matter of justice, but in the interest of religion itself. The effect of anything like compulsion in the matter of religion is to engender prejudice against it. The Church cannot surrender her proud position of being a kingdom not of this world with- out sufloring for it in the blight of her spiritual lite, The churches may fight this question, but sooner or later the battle will go against them, and their re- treat, I fear, will be not-only with dented armor, but with banners soiled. Dr. Shipman retnied at length the arguments that Church and State were not en- tirely separate in the States, and closed by defining the reciprocal positions which they should hold toward each other. EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE WORK. WHAT HAS BEEN AND WHAT MAY BE DONE-— DR, HALLS EXCELLENCE SUGGESTIONS—aD- DRESSES BY ME. DODGE AND DRS, ANDERSON AND JESSUP. ‘The friends of the American branch of the Evan- gelical Alliance in this city gathered last night in the Reformed Church, on Fifth avenue and Twenty-ninth street, where the Week of Prayer just passed has been observed. The church was filled with people who manifested deep interest in the addresses of Mr. William E, Dodge, Drs. T. D, Anderson, H. Jessup, of Syria, and Dr. John Hall, The meeting was designed as an indorsement or en- couragement of the work of the Evangelical Allian under whose auspices for several years past the We of Prayer has been observed. Mr. Dodge presided and called attention to what the Alliance had done to secure religious liberty for captives and exiles in foreign lands. Dr. Thomas D, Anderson said, among other things, that there was one thought that presented Christian union to his mind with great beauty. When we look beyond the ages and see the King sitting on His throne then we may well sf% in heavenly places in Christ Jesus as we do here to-night. And not one jar shall be heard in all that host, but a hearty amen shall be given to the prayer of every Christian that God's Kingdom may come and His will be done on earth as it is done in heaven, Dr. Jessup, of Syria, said his home was half way betwoen Antioch and Jerusalem at Beyrout. But t the Christians have found that the Week of Prayer has become a practical power. Dr. John Hall remarked that it was nearly twelve years since he first attended a meeting ot the Evan- kelical Alliance on this continent, He came then as a delegate and had no thought of being ever settled as a pastor here. His colleague at that time has been taken home to the rest that remaineth for God's people. And as he looks down « such a gat ‘ing it must seem to him th there is no necessity for the feuds that exist among Christians here. During those years, the Doctor said, the work of the Alliance has been re- markable. Under its influences those great yather- ings of what are called Pan-Anylican Christians have been held in ~~ Since thut time the two branches of — the Preabytorian Church — on this continent have — been =~ brought to» gether, and a similar movement hax been effected in Canada, “We should co-operate,” said Dr. Hall, “with each other in all that relates to Christian lite and work, This can be done by pra ing for one another and for the churches to which as Christians we severally belong. Aud, lastly, we can imitate the good that we see in each other. No matter where the good comes from if God blesses it let us take it. While the Doctor would not take the Roman Catholic Sisters of Charity, with their peculiar yarb, he would take the genuine sisters oc charity, many of whor he believed were in the evangelical churches, who 0 to the homes of poverty and stekness relieving dis treas and comforting the sorrowing. This world is something like an estate in Chancery; but Christ 4 title to it thon boen established, aud He will s00n make it blossom as the rows," THE STORMY SEAS, TEMPESTUOUS VOYAGE OF THE BARK A, M. SCHWEIGAARD-—4 SEAMAN DROWNED— RESCUE OF A DESPAIRING CREW. After an exceedingly long and tempestuous voyage of forty-two days from Silloth, England, the bark A. M. Schweigaard, under command of Captain J. B, Johnson, arrived in this port yesterday, having lost one man and rescued the crew of the bark Lord Clar- endon, The latter vessel was met in mid. ocean in @ sinking condition. The Sehwei- gard left Silloth on November 18, with a miscellaneous cargo, bound for New York. The weather was squally and heavy when they set sail, the wind blowing from all points of the compass, On the 2d of December the storm which had been gather- ing broke over the sea and the wind blew a perfect hurricane from the northwest. All sails were im- meYately close reefed, During the hurricane a sea- man, named Linius Gulbiandson, was ordered to make fast the lower topsail, He climbed into the rigging and had nearly completed his task when 4 terrifle gust of wind struck the vessel. In the excitement that followed no one thought of the man aloft, save the first mate, who glanced up just in time to see the poor fellow fall backward from the yard on which he was standing and strike in the chains on the bowsprit. Efforts were made to save him, but he fell into the sea, and the vessel, which was making about three knots an hour at the time, passed over him. RESCUING A CREW. The storm continued with no abatement, and two days after this accident, while the vessel was drifting before the wind under bare poles, a bark was sighted. about three o'clock in the afternoon, with topsails set and signals of distress flying. The vessel in dit tress had also sighted the Schweigaard and immedi. ately bore down on her, At five o'clock the barks were within hailing distance of each other. ‘The sea was running very high and both vessels were violently tossed about, nevertheless, Captain John- son sueceeded in launching a small boat and sent it to the resene of the stranger, which proved to be the Lord Clarendon, ‘the little craft and the two brave seamien who tuyged away ut the oary were anxiously watched by both crews. At last they reacued the Clarendon, and no time was lost in’ leaving the sinking vessel. Fiye of the crew made up the firat boat load, and they wore landel safdy on board the Schweigaurd, A second trip was made and five more men were got off. The captain of the aban- doned vessel, William Davis, and his mate were now the only persous left. As the sinall boat came alongside for the third time they sprang into it, taking with them the ship's logbook and several other articles, It was about ten o'clock at night when they pushed off from the bark and lett her to driit with topsails set. ‘THE BOAT CAPSIZ The small boat came up to the ship’s side and the captain and his mate had ascended theladder. One of the boatmen was taking in the oars, and the other was about to hand up the articles. which the captain was trying to save, when a tremendous wave overturned the boat. ‘Lhe two seamen sprang for the ladder and fortunately gained the deck. THE LORD CLARENDON'S VOY. . Captain Davis related the story of the vc Lord Clarendon substantially a8 follow: with a crew of eleven men Vesides the captain, was bound trom Bordeaux, France, to the Delaware breakwater, in ballast. No rough weather severe cnough , to impede their progress was countered until the Gulf Stream was reached, w! heavy gales and high seas were met. In making the Gult Str they were thrown back three times, and Derore they cleared it the vessel sprung a leak. To add to their trouble the ballast had shifted, and the vessel rode very unevenly. As soon as the leak was discovered the pumps were set working, the men continuing at them day and night. Regardless of all their efforts, the water gained steadily, By January 3 the Gult Stream was cleared and signals of distress were hoisted, the wind still blowing a strong gule from the northwest. On the evening of the 4th the water was four feet deep in the hold, the cabins were thay and casks of water, boxes and barrels floated about. DISHEARTENED SAILORS. The crew, after working the pumps day and night continuously, and secing the ship steadily filling, be- cime disheartened, and a committee waited on’ the captain to ascertain what he intended to do. The vessel at the time was off Hatteras, far from land, and the captain told the men that unless rescued within forty-eight hours they must go down. When aban- doned the deck of the bark was nearly level with the water, the sea making aclean breach over her decks fore and aft. ‘The Lord Clarendon was owned by Mr. Charles 'T. Russel & Co., of St. John, N. B. LOSS OF THE SCHOONER N. W. MAGEE. While the ship Storkors, Captain Thur Tallikson, ‘was standing down in a heavy sea, about three hun- dred miles off the coast of the Carolinas, on the night of December 29, bound he the watch heard signals of distress coming froma schooner on his lea, The ship went near her, but in the thick, heavy weather no one could be seen on her decks. ‘Tho wind was blowing a gale and the sea was running so high that a boat eculd not live in it. The Storkors lay to, and during the night the weather moderated, In the early morn a boat was sent out from the Storkors to the assistance of the wrecked schooner’s crew. Tt was learned that Che schooner was the N. W. Magee, of Camden, N.J., Captain Andrew Steelman, out of Port Royal to this city, loaded with lumber. She left New York for Charleston, 8. witha miscellaneous cargo, in the latter part of November, and then bal- lasted for Port Royal, The story of the voyage, told in the log of the iost schooner Magee, and’ repeated to a Henaup reporter yesterday afternoon by the saved crew, isan tnusual one, and gives a fair idea of the stormy weather encountered by vy elling at this season of the year, On the ne December 29 the wind blew air was filled with suow. The vessel was beat- ing and the men were tired with the in- cessant pumping. For twenty hours they worked steadily at the pumps. The mainmast went by the board aud was dragging the ship out of the way of passing vessels, When it had to be cutclear, Tho mizzen was the next to go, and then Captain Steel- man sent below to ascertain how tast the water was making Way, It was six feet deep and filling very fast. The lanyards began to chafe, and the captain then knew he could not save his vessel. About three o'clock on the morning of December 30 the watch de- scried the ship Storkors, who took the crew of five men on board and brought them to New York, land- ing at her dock, pier 43 East River, yesterday after- noon, rning of terrible yale and the ge eae TWO SHIPWRECKED crews, The bark Edmund Phinney, Captain John Berry, arrived at Harbeck’s stores, Brooklyn, last night, from Callao, Severe storms were encountered during the entire voyage, and she received consider- able damage. On the afternoon of the 4th inst. she met the schooner Frank W. Emery, Captain Falkner, of Saco, Me., bound from Savanna-la-Mar, Jamaica, to Boston, Her decks were all stove in, aud a signal of distress was flying. Notwithstanding the wind was blowing furiously at the time the boats of the Phinney were lowered, and Captain Falkner and his crew were taken off. They stated that they had been drifting abont in a helpless condition for three days, The Phinney then proceeded on her journey, but made slight progress, owing to the heavy weather, On the Sth inst. she encountered the schooner Ralph Carlton, Captain Spear. The masts of the latter sel had been swept away, and she was being beate helplessly about by the winds and storms. Again the boats of the Phinney were lowered, and with « great deal of dificulty the entire crow were resened. The Carlton was loaded with a general cargo and bow: from Cardenas, Cuba, to this port. She was dis. masted on the 3d inst. A PITIFUL STORY, IP TRUE, Emma Lang, whose parents reside at No, 89 Greene strect, Jersey City, died on Friday last, and Dr. T. D. MeGill filed the death certificate with the Board of Health, the cause of death, it is alleged, being given as overwork and nervous prostration. It seems the little girl, who was but twelve yoars of age, had been employed as # servant in a family in Jersey City, and acggrding to her parents she was so overworked that she sickened and died, They assert that the child told them that her illness was due to the overwork. ‘The lady who employed her denies most empliati- cally that the child was overworked and claims that on the contrary, she was well cared for, and that being @ faithful little creature in all her duties and anxious to please, she won her way into her affecti: jor the circumstances the lady contends it wou! be the height of absurdity to suppose that the girl had been so all treated — that her death was the result. It was learned that Kama hac met with a serious accident a few weeks ago, having fallen down stairs while carrying ® Dneket of coal. The injuries she then received may have had sen: thing te do with her deat However, in the opinio of Dr. McGill, the Coroner should inquire into the case, Until the result of that official's investigatic is made known it is bu ir that the allegation against the girl's employers should be taken with caution, SERIOUS FIGHT IN A’ BARROOM. A terrible fight took place in the barroom of ‘Thorne’s Hotel, at Glenwood, L. & on Friday night between Thomas Lanney and Charles Fisher, the aifray knives and clubs were freely used. was cut about the head and face ina trightful st, a it is thought will die from the injuries sus- twine | pre SKATING IN THE’ PARK. GOOD ICE AND A BIG CROWD—HOW THE YOUNG FOLKS ENJOYED THE SPORT. Ample streams of people poured into Central Park yesterday afternoon, and the middle lake to which aly steps were directed was soon crowded from end to end, Perhaps ten thousand persons were assembled there before the skating for the day came to a close, at half-past five o'clock. The weather was dull and cold; but the ice was in admirable condition, and this was the chief consideration with the visitors, the great majority of whom appeared to belong to the working classes of the city. The boys were out in great force, and their enjoyment of the day was of the most earnest character. They were not all ex- | perts, and slips and tumbles were the portion | of .many; but the accidents met with were treated with cheerful indifference, Collisions were inevitable in a throng so great, and very sudden and laughable Knock downs were the consequence, The house by the lake, where the boys put on their skates, and where refreshments are dispensed, was crowded to its fullest capacity, and an immense busi- ness was done in candy and pumpkin pie. The lake presented a very animated appearance, when the crowd was ut its maximum, the skaters driving to and fro and weaving in and out like a thousand shuttles in a thousand looms. A fine white dust covered the ice as though a fall of snow had settled upon it, but which was really the effect of the mul- | titudin: ers that ploughed in endless move- ment over the scaly surtace. THE SKATERS, ‘The crowds appeared to come in battalions from all quarters of the city, especially from the east ide. A thronging procession entered the Park by the Fitth ayenue gute and seemed as if it would never cease, It was chiefly made up of boys and young men, most of whom carricd skates under their arms, or slung across their backs. They walked with an elastic step, and their looks betrayed an anticipation of fine fun ahead, ‘The fair sex was not as nmmerously rep- resented us on week days and there was a consequent lack of color in the scene on the lake, Large box i » Well filled, started at frequent intervals from th and Eighth avenue entrances of the Park to the lake. Hundreds 0: people filled the benches ranged along the margin of the lakes and other hun- dreds promenaded about among tffe skaters, without taking part in the prevailing activity. ' KCCENTRICIITES OF THE SMALL BOY. ‘The small boy, as usual, monopolized the prom- inent place in the day’s sport. He was here, there and everywhere, hallooing as loud as his lungs would allow, cutting figures of eight and shooting hither and thither with a recklessness all his own. He carromed off the heavy paterfamilias and sent him to grass, or rather to ice, without warning; and, for the Jove of the thing, he let himself fall in the way of some gracefully careering swell, to whom the small boy on ice has a particular aversion. “Look out for the locomotive,” he would ery to the youth ahead of him, and the one addressed Would put’on an extra head of steam and a race would ensue, the small boy coustituting himself the leading attraction of the hour. To him the day was one of rare diver- sion, and every moment was utilized to get all pos- sible enjoyment out of his pair of skates, Beginners in the art of skating were numerous, and among them were several youn escorts appeared to take a delightfully busy interest in teaching them the rudimentary lessons, while the learners themselves were all blushing excitemen and found more sport in the mishaps they en countered than they would haye found in scientific skating. A “SWELL” TURNOUT. ‘Two young lads in the course of the day came upon | the lake bearing between them a chair gorgeously ! mounted on nickel plated runners. ‘The iramework } was painted in bright crimson, and a piece of Brus- sels carpet covered the seat, Attention was imme- diately drawn to it, and two policemen ap- proached and inquired of’ the owners whether they had a permit for the introduction of thi novelty ou the lake, One of the lads produced the anecessary document signed by one of the Park Commissioners and the chair, followed by a host of small boys, was soon careering over the ice, the joint proprictors feeling as proud as if they had a four-in-hand drag. ‘The cnairs, as a rule, belong to the Park, and many of them were in use; but this one was private property. Approaching the hour for the cessation of the day’s pastime the multitude was so large as to im- pode the skating to some extent; but “the more the merrier,” seemed to be the general feeling, and the crowds ‘separated at night in the best possible humor. THE WALKING LADY. MME. WILL NIGHT. Now that Mme. Anderson's remarkable feat of walk- ing 2,700 quarter miles in 2,700 quarter hours, is drawing to a close, with every prospect of a success- ful issue, there appears to be no limit to the enthu- siasm of the spectators, Yesterday was probably the best day, financially, since the commencement of the walk, as about five thousand spectators were present between noon and midnight. Thero were a great many New Yorkers present and the majority were inclined to be sceptical of the record already made, The majority were perfect! ANDERSON IN BETTER CONDITION—SHE FINISH HER PEDESTRIAN FEAT TO- satisfied, however, when the careful manner in which | the score had been kept ever since the start was ex- plained, Some of them said they would feel a little more confident when the task is accomplishe 8 Garden and subject to the elos investiga- Mme. Anderson has been in pretty good coudi- tion. tion ever since midnight on Saturday and suceceded in obtaining a considerable amount of the rest that she failed to obtain in the preceeding twenty-four hours. 2h. She came on the track yesterday morning at 16m. 14 and had to sit on a chair while boots were laced. She was then pretty sleepy, and did not walk faster than six minutes, but A.M. she woke up and amused herself blac! the faces of the sleepers with burnt cork. A monster balloon was brought into the garden and when in- flated rose to the roof. This balloon is to be sent off to-night when Mme, Anderson has completed her last quarter, About eleven A. M. yesterday the garden began to fill up, and the lady pedestrian waking up in-reased her speed to ubout dan. 458. to. the quarter, During the afternoon the garden was packed with people until six o'clock, when it began to thin during inner hour, Mme, Anderson had another sleepy spell that lasted until about nine P, M. During that “l her health appeared good, as her pulse kept at about seventy-two. Her feet yesterlay were considerably "better. During the day Mme, Anderson ‘was the recipient of a number of presents, including flowers, books, pencil card cases and vases, One lady sent bor a very hi some Russian leather box, fi with cut flowers, About nine P. M. a pretty little girl can room aud presented her with a box contai three or four pounds of candy. That present y carefully hidden away, to be examined in t of a few days. The’ spectators remained ver; last night and watched Mme, Anderson through her y spells with the most intense interest, as if expecting that she would never make avother quarter. Those, howe who waited up in the hopes of being in at the finish will probably have to | come to-night, as, judging from her general con- | dition at midnight, there ix every reason to believe that she will accomplish her widertaking. A minutes before midnight she had completed 2,6 quarter miles, The walk will be completed shortly before eleven o'clock to-night. ANOTHER SIX DA WALK. Harry Howard, of Glen Cove, Long Island, will at-° tempt to walk 450 miles in six days at Mozart Hall, Brooklyn, commencing at twelve o'clock on Sunday night, 10th inet. ‘The prize will be $500 should How- ard be successful. TROTTING IN CALIFORNIA, ‘Two races came off at the Oakland Park, January 4, ‘The first event was between Gus, the trotter, and Washington, the pacer, for $250, for which the first named was @ favorite in the pools at about $20 to $15, but the issue was never in doubt after the first hulf mile, a8 Washington had it all his own way in three straight heats i Ww), 2a and (rot between Caimar and Doty, also for $ better contested, inasmuch as twice during the three heats the latter was well to the front; but Doty is a dificult horse to drive, and Pete Brandow seemed not to be fully aware of his peculiarities, and thus at rh oritieal ent the horse went otf his fect, and in three st ts in 2290, 2:35 1 2:25, In the way of tre the two animals seem to be erenly matehed, but Calmar being a far steadier mover the odds, as was the case yesterday, are likely to be generally in his favor, SPORTING EVENTS ABROAD.

To THe Eprror or THE HERALD: In your issue of this date, in commenting on the bungling stupidity and revolting brutality which were displayed on the occasion of Hunter's execution, you state that the cnstom of putting criminals to ing was the cruelest method in vogue in eivili: countries. This is most certainly the cause when the executioner is allowed to use his own discretion as to the quickest method of giving the ched criminal his quietus, or where the Sheriff is allowed to exercise his mechanical genius in devising anew kind of scaffold; but when the execution is pertormed death is perfectly instantaneous. Within the past mouth I have read five accounts of criminals being executed, and it took for one two minutes, for another five, and for the next three nu, ten and fifteen minutes respectively before could be choked to death, suffering during the time the most excruciating agony. Marwood, the | professional hangman in England, never gives a drop | of less than from six to eight feet, and if his example were followed in this country the public would not be often horrified as they were this morning on read- ing the accounts of the last two executions. A CONSTANT READER. ABOLISH CAPITAT, PUNISHMENT. New York, Jan. 10, 1879, To THe Eprror oF THE HERALD: In view of the spectacle presented yesterday at Camden, wherein that unfortunate man, Hunter, paid the legal penalty of his crime, will you not exert your influence to have death by hanging abolished and some other means adopted through which the d mands of the lew in this direction may be satistied If you choose to do so, the HERALD can bring about a reform in this matter. That a change in method is needed will hardly be questioned, I think. Why not adopt the garrote? It is sure in its work, speedy and, I believe, thoroughly reliable in all respects and arranged in accordance with scientific laws. MEDICAL STUDENT. WHY EXECUTE MEN IN A PRISON? New Yous, Jan. 10, 1879. To tur Eprron or THE Henan Of all the horrors that of late have been brought be- fore the publie none has been so heartrendittg or so offensive to humanity as Hunter’s execution in Cam- den Court House. It is terrible that capital punish- ment is ever deserved, and that not alone must the | condemned man stiffer, but that his family and 8 must endure the saddest of all griefs and etheir names connected and their blood tinged with that of a murderer. T cannot resiet ing a protest against the place o} his exeention, thongh crowds gathered and “tickets” ned as special favors to witness the ending of ininal’s life, yet there are those whose brains I plead. This exec » in tion was permitted in a close connection with — cells—not mpty, but containing human beings—if guilty of some misdemeanor, yet none ¢ jess human—contined there by justice, unable to free th es from their terrible position. ‘Think of t upelled to listen to the hammer ing and nailing necessary for the construction of a awchine” of death, the trial of which in itself was a failure, as the shocking finai scene proved. After the execution imagine the gloom that must have pervaded t! ength and breadth of the long dark corridors, and the inelancholy that must fall on all, but particularly op nervous or superstitious people. Many will be ready to say that if the prisoners had lived well they need not be there. Very true, I grant, but it is not the “golden ruie id surely tl » who can should not only show leniency, but sympathy, for those in trouble. Accidents have happened, and in- nocent people have been confined in pris- ons. They are not allowed a choice of room: but are compelled -to be shut in alone, just close to where one of the most disgusting and atrocious death scenes was pe mitted. ‘The people should rise en masse and prohi bit the repetition ot so degrading an affair, If a posi- tive improvement cannot be made upon the manner of capital punishment, surely the hideous instrument can be constructed outside of a building and thus pre- vent inflicting all possible mental anguish upon other unfortunate “inmates. The butchery of Hunter should be held up as a terrible example to all officials who may contemplate a change. Even outside it should be so tested that failure of purpose would be impossible, Let the crimes of the murderer be never so great yet it in nowise gives us a right to inflict torture unnecessarily. Knowing the enterprine of the HenaLp in upholding justice and bringing about many of the reforms and me improvements, I appeal to it for a consideration of the matter for the cause of humanity. R.
