During December last the Hrraup gave informa- tion to its readers in the shape of brief telegraphic despatches from St. Petersburg of serious revolu. tionary troubles among the Russian students. Some universities and many high schools were closed and the government of the Czar did its utmost to repress occasional manifestations with the greatest rigor and violence. The parents of these students have acutely felt the terrible persecutions, imprisonment and even murders to which their children have been subjected. The Russian press being gagged, and in prder to present a faithful account of the terrible sufferings of theirsons and daughters to the civilized world, the document printed below was drawn up by a secret committee of the parents in St. Petersburg and brought to the United States by a trustworthy agent. It has been placed in our hands for publica- tion by @ gentleman connected with the Russian revolutionary movement, and who for prudent rea- fons is obliged to have his name suppressed, For the same reasun this deeply interesting document is signed simply, “The Parents of the Unfortunate Stu- dents, Residents of St. Petersburg,” and who, if their names were affixed, would have to suffer for their temerity in daring the Russian autocrat’s ter- rible power amid the horrors of Siberia. The ap- peal, pathetic in its simplicity, speaks for itself. We have endeavored as far as possible to preserve the original quaintness of the composition in the trans- lation:— A STRONG APPEAL. Sx. Pererspun, Jan. 20, 1879. ‘The entire civilized world has been informed by telegraph of a petition presented by the students of the several high schools of St. Petersburg to the Czarevitch, as well as of the serious troubles which ensued and of the shameful treatment to which the authors of this petition have been subjected by the St. Petersburg police authorities. But sbort tele- graphic messages cannot convey all the truth to the public. Free speech is denied to us in our own country. A spirit of reaction and brutal despotism revails throughout all Europe which gives us but ttle hope of exciting public sympathy for our cause on our continent. We, the parents of those uoneeey young men, tortured and butchered by the agents o! @ barbarous and unscrupulous government, have therefore resolved to address this appeal to the great American nation, in the fond hope that, for humanity’s sake, every paper published in that happy land of freedom, will, by copyite the resent document, give to the facts exposed therein he widest possible circulation. Early in the begin- ning of 187% the Minister of State, Valooev, beopoeed in the Imperial High Council to limit the admission of the children of the poor in colleges devoted to the superior branches of instruction. This advice was accepted by His Imperial Majesty. In cohsequence the presidents of the technological, agricultural, mining, engineering and other colleges were secretly informed that they would be obli; to restrain as much as possible the admission of new students in their respective colleges, but mainly to hinder the entrance of poor students, and even to refuse them admission altogether. This measure was undertaken by the government on the ground that there are to- day in Socste many learned and intelligent men who are regurded by the imperial authorities as the prin- cipal source of all revolutionary ideas in the Empire, No objection was raised to this order on the part of the college authorities. NO EDUCATION FOR THE POOR. ‘Who will of His Imperial Majesty was strictly ex- ecuted, The admission of new students was ouly made as a matter of form, and almost all poor candi- dates were rejected. It will be naturally understood that students, as well as their ts and relatives, were very indignant and offended at a measure of this character. Simultaneously the government enforced many uew, very repressive and obnoxious measures against students throughout Russia, ‘Their tendency was similar to those lately inaugurated by the Ger- man government, and under the same pretext—that of crushing out socialism, to eradicate all possible opposition to the government. His Imperial Majesty has his own private police and gendarmerie, com- monly known as the ‘Third Section.” This, the principal body of police, aud its chief, have much more power and are more dreaded than His Majesty himself. In order to overwhelm the powerful stream of the anti-despotic or so-called revolutionary ideas, the officers and agents of the Third Section are al- lowed by His Imperial Majesty to act at their own leasure among the 87,000,000 inhabitants of the vast Russian Empire. The Third Section has become tho supreme master of the Empire and the most cruel tyrant of His Imperial Majesty’s unfortunate sub- jects. There ure, theretore, in Russia at the present moment as many autocrats as there are members of the Third Section and of the gendarmerie, After having received orders from His Imperial Majesty to eradicate all revolu- tionary ideas as well as the revolutionists them- selves, the Third Section found itself placed in an embarrassing position, because few know who or where the revolutioniste are. ‘The Third Section, therefore, decided to act at random and by every means possible to stamp out such ideas and their dis- seminators. RANDOM ARRESTS, ‘The agents of the Third Section, sand powerfully wided 4! the military force and the civil authorities, be; by first suspecting and then arresting every- ly they chose. fithout legal process or judicial form, they incarcerated many in prison. Some they trausported to Siberia, with hard labor in His lin- perial Majesty’s private gold and silver mines. A reat many persons, atter having been arrested and imprisoned, disappeared altogetncr. None can tell where they are, what has become of them. The parents and relatives of many who had thus disap- peared applied in vain to the officers of the ‘Third Section respecting their lost frionds. Instead of wnswering them, the agente of the Third Sec- tion threatened the parents and relatives themselves with imprisonment on account of their sympathy with those guilty of high treason, and for having the audacity to wish to pen- ctrate into imperial affairs. The persecutions of the government were mainly directed against the youth in the superior schools. The students have been re- wrded as actual, yet undetected criminals. They ave been suspected of socialism, communism, nihilism and revolutionary ideas—in fact, of all possible isms. For these supposed crimes, which existed only in the imagination of the agents of the Third Section, they were subjected to out cous treatment—rather worse, even, than actual political offenders, who are generally very badly treated among His Imperial Majesty’s very obedient sub- jects. ‘The character of these rsecutions is obvious from the trial of Vers joolitch, who shot General Tropov, aud who was found not guilty, Even one of our timid jurtes did this on account of the outrages and violence enacted upon her and other political criminals by the Third Section. His Suoperial een , after the assassination of the lead of the Third Section, yave to General Mesenzow an ukase in which instructions were given to have no merey extended to criminals, to augment tho police force, to locate the Cossack cavalry on every street, to increase the number of members of the Third Section and gendarmene and to augment all activity for the detection of the revolutionists. ‘The will of His Majesty was executed. Every street in all large cities were filled with well armed Cossacks, gendarmes and police. SEVEN HUNDRED CONVICTIONS A MONTH, ‘The detectives (mouchards) ot the Third Section Became more insulting aud overbearing than ever. ‘The number of those arrested and transported into Siberia without legal trial, as is usually the method of the Russien governmont, was tucreased to about seven Farce monthl ‘The greater por- tion of the youth then being educated were rejected from their respective schoois. ‘Che college and school thorities found themselves utterly powerless to protect the students, and even the professors were suspected by coverument on account of their learning and » Having no protec: tion from any quartor, and fi themselves perse: cuted and most unjustly troated, the students dec: to defond themselves against the outrages of the age the Third Section and of tho government itself. iv welf-defence commenced at the it Kiev, the capital of Ookrina (“Small Russia’). So of the students of the University had “disappeared suddenly, Others had been arrested aud iniyeisoned pioion ‘ot being quilty of some of the many the boarding houses ot a great many more were searched during their absenco by the gendar- meric, ‘The students assembled and decided to seo the Attorney heme! or warts the — to ask ex! ations from him concerning tl i sit aCo Seueerent of theit Cellow students, and ors fo learn what legal authority gendarmos were allowed to enter their rooms and examine their property. ln- stead of answering their requests, the Procureur ad- vised them to leave him and to ask no further ques- tions of the authorities, which, he said, they had no right whatever to do, They then petitioned the Bec- tor of the University, Professor Mattveyeff, upon the same subject. He also declined to answer them, ad- vising them to go about their business, ‘The atu. dents loft him, it was rumored before long that the Procurour bad attacked and exiled to northern cities without trial by “admin- istrative order,” as it is termed in Russia. Notwith- standing these precautions the whole story was soon privately known in all the large cities of Russia, BLOODY ATLACK ON THE STUDENTS. As those sentenced to transportation to Siberia and the northern towns had to pass on their journey through Moscow, the students and numbers of the citizens of Moscow determined to make hearty demon- strations of sympathy to the unfortunate students of Kiev. Mr. Catcov, the editor of the principal news- paper published in Moscow, had learned particulars respecting the intended demonstration, und wrote many violent articles against the supposed revo- lutionists, and ularly the students still at re. He represented them as the enemies of the people, of the State, of religion, af the family and of the government. When the proposed demonstration took place, the Moscow gendarmerie and a large number of butchers and clerks employed in stores rushed upon the procession with arins in their hands. There was considerable bloodshed in 01 uence. A great many persons were killed, wounded and badly disfigured. A number of stu- cope were arrested aud imprisoned. Many were iso added to the Kiev students who were being trans- ported to far off Siberia, Mr. Catcov pri in his newspaper the bloodshed patriotically caused by the gendarmerie and butchers. He descr’ in emphatic terms how those participating in the procession were unarmed and URE reperee, and how Lag | were dis- turbed, beaten and trodden under the feet of the soldiers’ horses. Meanwhile the Third Section was not idle, New victims filled the prison cells day b: day. ts of the Third Section, disguised as pri- vute individuals, were sent to every vicinity and part of Moscow. They told the ignorant and rural Rep lution that there was a great plot existing in Russia against the Czar and the Church; that the students were the chief conspirators in the plot, and that they were very hateful on account of their immoral qualities; that they allured men, women and chil- ren into their houses and there eat them after having stewed and roasted them in iron vessels; and that they poisoned the wells and rivers and set fire to the buildings and villages. These and other absurd stories, narrated to the discredit of the stu- dents, now circulated among the ignorant and superstitious people, not only of the villages but of the cities. ‘These stories are invented by the govern- ment officials in order to keep the people from lis- tening to revolutionary agitators, who might other- wise have obtained the confidence of the people. ‘They have made the ropagen alate appear as very dangerous and untruthful people in the eyes of the masses. SURVEILLANCE BY DAY AND NIGHT. ‘The gendarmerie were instructed to secretly watch over the students day and night. They have been allowed to enter the houses of private citizens where students were boarding and examine, from time to time, their private papers, books and trunks. The same supervision is also prescribed by the Third Sec- tion over the rooms of the female students in their absence. ‘These are the female students who distin- guished themselves so much during the late war with Turkey. This is the reward of the Czar's absolute autocracy to these self-sacrificing heroines. The names and faces of the students became hateful on account of their supposed wickedness, their dreadful prinei- ples and habits. ‘he street er stoned and pelted them. The populace struck knocked them down and set their dogs on them. As the constant visits of the agents of the Third Section were very troublesome and offensive to their landlords and landiadics many of the students were refused admittance to boarding houses. Many of the poorer students were refused permission to give lessons in private families, which in a majority of instances were their only means of sup- port. All organization was strictly prohibited. They Were not even allowed to havea library incommon and funds for their mutual relief. All who sympathized with the students were and are reg: by the Third Section as dangerous individuals, and Gre placed un- der the special contro! of the gendarmerie. This is the manner in which the will of His Imperial Majesty has been executed throughout his vast dominions to cradicate all isms and ists, The universities and all school authorities were or- dered to treat the students as if they were little chil- dren by controlling their studies and pastimes in the most thorough manner. ‘The students are also treated as if they were most important criminals. It 1s evident that such a state of things could not exist any length of time. The youths at school have in consequence protested against these outrages in Kazan, Odessa and Charkow. They assembled and petitioned the respective college authorities to pro- tect them. The result of and answer to their peti- tions were invariably the samc—arrest, imprison- ment and transportation, without trial, either to Siberia or far distant cities. The press was also not allowed to publish a line about these abuses of the governinent. SAD RESULTS OF PETITIONING THE CZAREVITCH. ‘Yo these perpetual persecutions, to these illegal and cruel punishments for even unalleged crimes must be added the great poverty of the Russian stu- dents, their dispersal to all parts of the Empire, the sneers of rough and insolent individuals and the honesty and self-respect of the young men. From all thts it can bo readily under- stood that the students were actually forced to do something to change their most insupportable lives. ‘This is the reason why they decided to petition the Czarevitch. They came with their petition into the yard of the Czarevitch’s palace, but he was absent, General Zoorov, of His Imperial Majesty's suite and the successor of Trepoy, appeared before them. After having listened fo them he took the petition and promised to give it to the Czarevitch. He told them they should have the answer of His Imperial Highness the aay following, and ae them, at the same time, his parole d'honneur that nobody should be arrested for presenting the petition. The students trusted Zoorov und quietly returned to their re- spective homes. They were wrong, however, to be- lieve Zoorov an honest man, Upon the same day 200 students were arresicd. It wes, indeed, a bad omen for the young men. The next day tue students assembled in the yard of the Medico-Surgical Col- lege awaiting General Zoorov with the reply of the Czarevitch to their petition. They were more than thousand in number. After they had assembled they saw-that the streets and piazza adjacent to the college were crowded with Cossacks, infautry and gendarmerie. They were completely equipped with their usual weapons—namely, pikes, swords, bay- onets and naguil thick, short leather whips). Some were on foot and others on horseback. They were informed at the same time that the Neva bridge, behind the college, would cut off their retreat. They became uneasy. It was a second omen, After a time General Zoorov presented himself before them with the insolent manner common to all Russian generals, He loudly and “barefacedly” declared the following resolutions to the student (a) That their petition was illegal and, of course, could not be presented; (b) that they had no right to assemble together for any purposes whatever, and that as offenders of this prohibition they would bo severely punished; (cp that those ar- rested the evening before would tried, and that the students had no right to make any inquiries about them whatever. In conciusion, General Zoorov ordered them to return to their respective abodes. ‘the students replied that their life, by rea- son of daily abuses, outrages and persecutions, had become insupportable, and they had resolved to peti- tion the interference of the Czarevitch, aud that this resolution could not be changed until they had re- be ag au auswer from His Imperial Highness bim- self. ANOTHER BLOODY ONSLAUGITT. General Zoorov was well aware what their answer would be beforehand. He became terribly enraged, and turiously exclaiined:—"Ah! you dare to answer thus! Iwill show you my power! You are every one of you criminals, rascals and rioters! You are only worth being hanged!’ Immediately atter he had made use of these exclamations he gave orders to the gendarmerie and Cossacks to arrest all without distinction. The brutal executors of this unlawful order violently and furiously rushed upon these un- armed and entirely detenceless young en. They treated them in the most outrageous man- ner. The students tried to defend themeclves. not pity them. Beat, Excited by this order gendarterie with re- doubled rage commenced to use their weapons. They whipped, picked and — with their lances upon all sides at random. The nagaikas, pikes and swords did their service admirably, A great number of students were lett for dead upon the ground, some escaped and others concealed themselves iu the pri- vate rooms of the college officers, The greater por- tion rusned up into the college library and barri- caded themselves in. The Cossacks and gendarmes then endeavored to force the door of the library hall. Those who had escaped therein told the besiegers they wished to see General Zooroy betore surrender: ing. The chiet of the Russian bushi-bazouks ap- peared, ‘Che students reproached him for his per- jury, and told him that he had broken all his prom- ixes and his parole d'honneur, Tnstead of any auswer to them the chief bashi-bazouk Zooroy ordered the door to be broken in, As soon as the door fell in still more dreadful carnage and butchery commenced, It was like ono of those scenes of vivlence, cruelty, barbarity und outrage described in novela of the medieval bsg ‘These young men were violently knocked pwn, beaten, stabbed, disfigured, and then almost motionless were transported to the nearest manege, which is @ large hall for training horses, About two hundeed and Atty were crowded and locked up in this place, ‘Three hundred more were imprisoned in the horrible secret cells of the Peter-Paul fortress, in front of His Majesty's winter palace. Some two hun- dred and fifty more were taken to the Military Hos- pital, It is not possible to give a full account of ail the wounded students, As far as we could obtain the information, about two hundred students were pierced through the shoulder, breast or abdomen during this dreadtal carnage. Many of them had their noses or ears cut off bj ‘ords. How many of inder cf the 1,000 students or more were ec cannot tell. Very few escaped uninjured, A PICTURE OF “RUSKIAN CIVILIZATION,” Now, please consider the state of these honest, un- foriugate and cultured young men. It is winter time. ® Our climate is cruet and cold. The Manego Hall is large and unprovided with heating apparatus, ‘Phere ix no furniture or beds in this hall. A quan- tity of straw is laid down on the ground for them to sicep on, ‘That isall, No pillows and no coverings are given thom. The students are not permitted to communicate with the outer world, They are obliged to wear the same clothes day and night. They have no chance of washing aud no money. The government gives them ten copecks (four and a half outs) cach only per day, Our rouble is worth now 225 Fronch counties, or forty-five cents, They are nearly EDITORS, On the day after this dreadful butchery all the editors and managers of newspupers and magazines were “invited” to the Third Section Palace, where they received a special order neither to mention nor to speak a word about the troubles with the students. ‘This order has been strictly executed. Nota word has said by our press. Even the students’ peti- tion to the Czarevitch has not been mentioned. The authorities of the Medico-Surgical College assembled in council, within the walls of the college, to discuss and protest against the violence of Zooroy with his Cossacks and gendarmes, but the Third Section ordered them to be sileut and disperse. But ali the measures of the ‘Third Section to conceal the truth and deceive the public were powerless to efface these terrible misd , because they weredone in plain day and were witnessed by many hundreds. The Cossacks and geudarmes moreover insolently boasted of their exploits when drinking in inns and saloons, Rumors concerning the bloodshed and carnage wero spread throughout St. Petersburg. The most un- favorable public opinion was created on wecount of General Zoorov's butchery. ‘The most timid citizens even became indignant and excited. In order to calm oe pure mind the government used its ordinary methods of barefaced “lies, falsehood and the most intentional violation of the truth.” GOVERNMENT FALSEHOOD AND DECEIT. On the day following, in December, the official papers The Messeng-r of the Government, appeared a ef official communication. There was not a werd in this of the circumstances concerning the petition | to the Czarevitch, the promises of Zoorov, &c. This report only stated as tollows:— Yesterday the students, to the number of 300, crowded the sidewalks. They tmp circulation. They were, of course, invited by the local police to get off the sidewalks; but they roughly and in an uncivil mauner answered the Police that they proposed to continue standing there. Gen- eral Zoorov, of His Imperial Majesty's suite, ordeced half a squadron of Cousa m. The students went away without any resistance. ndred and forty-eight persons were arrested for disorderly conduct. The rumors spread throughout the city that many, during the time the arrests were being mado, were kuocked down, beaten and 80 on, aro without fo: rumors are contra: dicted by the declarati Bogslunovsky (two offic ired ), who, by order of the authorities, examined the students arrested. After a most careful examination they tailed to flad any trace of violence. ouly learned that two students, when rau- ning off, fell down on the ico apd somewhat injured theie legys—oule on the knee aud the other one near the os calis. DOES THE EMPEROR KNOW THE ‘TRUTH? ‘This is the entire official communication to the pub- Me concerning the most outrageous and dre:dful butchery ever perpetrated on unfortunate young men. We believe that the Emperor never knows the full truth about the numerous misdeeds of the ex- ecutors of his orders. We believe also that he does not know, and will perhaps never know, about the circumstances we have deseribed. He can only know what is told him by the Third Section and his cour- tiers. Remember, we have no _ representatives, no responsible Ministers and no other respon: sible persons. All our authorities act’ in the name of His Imperial Majesty and he is de facto and de jure the Autocrat and Emperor of the Great, Small and White Russias, King of Poland, Grand Duke of Finland, &c., &c. ‘this {s the Czar’ official title. He is the actual head of the Gra Russian Church. He unites in his person alone the sole legislative, executive and judicial powers. He, and he alone, is Birk oy oe for all laws enacted, for all measures undertaken and for all misdeeds done by his officers. Yes! only he, the Autocrat and Em- peror, is responsible for all the branches and acts of the government. There is nothing but silence in Russia. There are thirty-one cent illiterate peo-. ple, and they are reduced to the position of domes- tic animals, living as they do in the most profound ignorance, in the utmost poverty und starvation. ‘There are more than oue million soldiers, and the whole Empire is in a perpetual state of siege. THE PICTURE REVERSED. ‘There are a large number of splendid palaces, with miayuificent gardens, tor the imperial fatuily and the Emperor's numerous mistresses. There are. tho- atres, opera houses and many other beautiful things for the enjoyment of the imperial family. There is @ State treasury which yields yearly — 10,000, roubies to the imperial family for their ordina: penses, In addition to this there are His Majesty’s private silver and gold mines in Siberia, and there are many so-called imperial domains and peasantry. ‘These three sources of revenue yield to His Majesty yearly about thirty millions of roubles. His Majesty, moreover, has the autocratic and beautiful right to spend the public moncy as he pleases, without ac- count or responsibility, and as much as the Shah of Persia and the Sultan of Turkey do and always have done And now His Im- perial Majestg’s very profound mind and tender heart are fully ocenpied in contrivances for the best way of relieving the woes, griefs, sufferings and miseries of the subjects of another Imperial Majesty, his brother ex-officio, the Suitan of all 'Tur- key, aud what kind of constitution is the most de- sirable for the Bulgarian people, At the same time His Majesty is very busy with Count Shoovalov (the great Russian spy, as he is called by the English) in order to learn how to check the influence and inso- lence of proud England, the only rival of the Rus- sian governuent in Asia. It is obvious that these and other like political problems are very difficult and exhaust ali the intellectual faguities of His Majesty in resolving them. Being exhhusted by such labors he naturally needs rest, aud His Majesty’s wife being an old lady, he passes the hours or his leisure in the company of young and beuutiful women. These “are chosen for the purpose by the Minister of the Imperial Court, Count Adlerberg, among the women of so-called high lite, Russia, to be sure, ought o: to enjoy herself look- ing on at the pleasures of her great antucrat and master with her beautiful daughters. This for tuo reason that atter a while Russia receives the roal fruits of His Majesty’s pastimes, first in the shape of beautiful children, and then in due time these chil- dren become, as is usually the case,the most im- portant public officers; as ministers, ambassadors, governors, generals, courtiers, and chiefly the most active members of the Third Section. Certainly this is all right, but such an order of things has fully changed the place and balance of the autucratic power. Dealing with Turkey, Afghanistan and hand- some women, His Majesty has no time at all to pay 3 any attention to the affairs of nis own Empire and of | his subjects, He has, therefore, de facto, given up all hts autocratic, irresponsible powers to the Lhird Section. NOBLE WORK OF THE THIRD SECTION. ‘The Third Section (an assemblage of men like Count Shoovalov, Zoorov, Trepov, Mesentzow, &c.—the men sans Joi ni (ot) fully underst»nds its position. It very well appreciates the value of irresponsible, au- tocratic power. It has undertaken and enforced a series of splendid measures for the welfare of the whole Empire and giory of their sovereign master. Among these measures the most prominent are:— 1. ‘To silence all honest and patriotic men by im- prisonments und transportation into Siberia without legal trial, “‘adminisivatively,”’ a it is termed, and represent’ them as the most dangerous encinies of the Czardom. 2, To chain the press and all printing so tightly by the censors as to make it “quite deaf, mute and disfigured.” 3. ‘Lo increase the force of gendarmerie and polico by adding to them Cossacks and soldiers; giving them power to enter any private, suspected house, to search as they please, and thus to maintain a per- petual state of siege in the whole country. . To increase the taxation of manual labor and property of our already exhausted peasantry and luboring poople. 5, Lo take the public bullion from the ‘Treasury and to spend it in an autocratic manner—that is, as much as they please without account or responsi- bility 6. io keep the Emperor always in ignorance of the true state of things in his enormous Bimpire, by mix- representing to him the true causes of perpetual troubles among the students and peasantry, and misleading him so 4s to force him to enact the most absurd, disastrous and painful laws and measures to the country. By these and other similar measures the Third Sec- tion has made the “white terror” in Russia, which is much more dreadful than any red one, We do not know how long such a state of things will continue, but we feel acutely that a dreadful | ‘absolute and irresponsible power and | crisis of the too barbarous despotism is approaching. Then wo hope to have, instead of Czardom, the freedom which wo have long deserved by our sufferings. THE PARENTS OF THE UNFORTUNATE STU- DENTS, RESIDENTS OF ST, PETERSBURG, JUSTICE WANDELL'S DOG. Dr. Charles L.

I feel honored, ladies and gentlemen, said Mr. Tal- mage, by the invitation to lecture before the Atalanta Boat Club and their friends, The very suggestion of @ boat club makes me loosen my collar, unbutton my coat, expand my lungs, take @ long breath and make a gesture like that. Hero Mr. ‘falmage imitated the stroke of an oarsman. There is something in the thought of a boat that stirs my blood, what- ever craft it be, from James Gordon Bennett's $30,000 yacht clear down to @ North River scow. I have no more interest in the Garden of Eden than I have in the boat club which, in Noah's time, picked a race out of the freshet. Noah's Ark was the grand- father of all yachts. MORE OUTDOOR EXERCISE. What the world wants is more outdoor exercise. It would improve our theology. We, the clergy, have so little outdoor exercise that we get an enlarged spleen and lose our temper and must have something to devour, and if we cau’t get anything else we'll take a neighboring clergyman and roast him, rolling up our eyes in religious fervor before We masticate him, thus saying graco before meat. If the Atulanta t ub would some day get all our ol men in their boats, give each one an oar, and make him pull or be thrown overboard, it would improve the condition of our American churches. Religion is sunshine and there is no place to get it like an open boat. We want more of the abandon of river and field sport. I belonged in Philadelphia to a ball club composed of clergymen, When a doctor of divinity a bali, the ragamutfiins of the city ‘Go it, uncle!” ‘Another base, old bees- “By George! that old fellow is spavined and ringboned and has got the heaves,” And when we allowed some one of these ragamuffins to take the bat with us he would fly around the ring, his clothes in tatters, out at the knees and with flag at half-mast, pursuing some minister on his way to the bishopric. ‘The fact is, when the boy gets entirely out of a man’s nature he had better retire to Greenwood. We want men of iron instead of men of mush, For a year three times a day 1 took arow on the Passaic River. You can tell me nothing about boats. Come around, boys, some Saturday to the Brooklyn docks and, you in one bout and Lin another, we will take a race. ‘his winter let our ponds and rivers and our Capitol- ine Grounds be all aquake with the hail and the shout of the swift skater. Can you doubt the connection between muscle and good cheer? Did you ever know a. man who took a cheer- ful view of life who did not attend to physical exercise ? Let us all do what we may to brighten up our carthly existences. Some men pretend to be 80 religious that they cannot laugh, ‘The gravest and most solemn looking minister I ever knew borrowed Of mo $25, and out of pure delicacy of feeling never mentioned the subject again. (Laughter.) THE NEED OF EXERCISE, Every one needs exercise and a change from the routine of life. The attention of the world is being drawn to the subject of gymnasiums. They used to be looked upon as colleges to graduate Heenans; but now you find in our gymnasiums the first merchants, physicians and clergymen. There rheumatics and neuralgias are hung up until dead on ‘parallel bars,’ like two rows of army deserters, dyspepsia climbing out of sight on @ rope ladder, old age dancing itself young again ona spring board, and gout, erysipelas and dropsy on wooden horses riding out of remem- brance. The gymnasium in many cases is better than all plantation bitters and pain killers, and cataplasms, and §. T. X.’s and all the other board fence Literatur Good cheer is @ science. There is no excmption from misfortune, but in the lottery of life there are more prizes drawn than blanks, Let us leave it to the owl to hoot, to the frog to croak, to the bear to growl and to the fault-finder to complain, while we get "into a boat all full of sunshine and pull anead, and toward all that is bright and good and useful. Three cheers for the Atalanta Boat Club! ‘These were given with enthusiasm, after which the gudience departed, well satisfied with the evening’s entertainment. IGNATIUS LOYOLA AND THE JESUITS. Rev. Dr. Lord had many hearers when he delivered his lecture on the Jesuits at Chickering Hall yester- day morning. Ignatius Loyola was taken as the text of his discourse. “When he appeared,” said the lecturer, “Luther was in the midst of his work of reformation; the Benedictine‘monks were no longer mon of prayer, but had given themselves up to the enjoyments permitted: by their great wealth; the Dominicans and Franciscans were peddling indul- gences, and monkish scholasticism was despised. Catholicism seemed to be almost at its last gasp. Even those princes who affected to repreas heresics and support the pontifical rule were probably not averse to its decadence. But in sixteen years Loyola was able to rise from the condition of a wandering fanatic to a station scarcely inferior to that of the Pope, and his power was felt in every corner of the world, In fifty years from the time when he founded the Society of Jesus its power had become almost absolute. Its rapid growth and enormous resources impress us with amazement and awe. We think its success must have been due to the most subtle duplicity and profound hypocrisy, aided by diabolical influences. But this isa very low and incorrect way of regarding the subject. The growth and power of this organiwation were wholly in accordance With natural laws. No enduring repu- tation is founded on a lie. Men are loved only in proportion as they love. We yield to those only whom we believe to be better than ourseives. When Cathoiic Europe saw men born to rank aud wealth abandon all and labor in hospitals, teach in convents, preach to the poor, encounter all ‘manner of dangers in strange and distant lands and lay down their lives in the work they had undertaken, it could not doubt their sincerity and devotion, It did not stup to pry into the motives of their sacrifice. When the people rded their acquirements and saw that Jesuit preachers were not sensual, but eloquent and erudite, they naturally _ pre- ferred them to the drones of other orders, They hal no val vices. The crime which tinally led to their overthrow was ambition for mere worldly success, They sought to cdntrol politics and took part in state intrigues. Fora long time and until alter their wealth and power had become enormous, the inferior members of the society were | in ig- norance of the designs of their leaders. They of- fered their converts the Cross, but not the Bible, and that is why no_ traces of their extensive work u in China and Japan or on the banks of the But at last they were overthrown by the 18, not so much for their vices 48 because of the enmity of a bad woman. “GROWING OLD GRACELULLY.” The Rev. Dr. C. 8, Robinson, of the Memorial Pres- byterian Church, Madison avenue, delivered @ lec- ture in the Westminster Presbyterian Chureh, ‘twenty-second strect (Rev. G. D, Mathews, pastor), on the subject of “Growing Old Gracefully.” Ho svid you cannot reach any end whatsoever unless ou know what you are aiming at. Daniel O’Conuell jad said that ‘those who aimed at nothing some- times hit something. He proceeded to show how beautiful and graceful old age ought to be. He de- scribed its cheerfulness, its content and intelli ey and showed that food, air and exercise made tho physical condition of man. Food was necessary for the mind, air for the imagination and sensibility, and corporal exercise for everything in life neces- sary for the purpose of doing good. He enlarged upon the necessity of thought and the power of thinking, Which young people are beginning to ¢ mand, A strong, honest will will accomplish a pur- pose, Ho advised his young hearers to keep push- ing, and in their old age they would be able to retire gracefully from the cares of lite amid the acclaims of their friends. PROFESSOR ROOD ON COLOR. Professor O. N. Rood, Professor of Physics in Columbia College, lectured in the hall of the Young Men's Christian Association on “Color.” This was the first of a course of six lectures which are to be given under the auspices of the New York Academy of Sciences. The attendance was fair, and the lec- turer was introduced by Professor Nowberry, also of Columbia College. The lecture was illustrated by means of the magic lantern and canvass at the back of the platform, and the physical appa- ratys at Columbia College was used in making the experiments. Professor Rood undertook to explain the way colors are perceived, and compared the color waves to the sound waves, giving an illustra: tion, He said that outside of ourselves there was no such thing as color. “STANDING STILL,” “Standing Still” was the subject of a lecture deliv. ered last evening in the Lay College building, Brook- lyn, by Rev. W. W. Bowdish, pastor ot the First Place Methodist Episcopal Church, that city, for the benefit of the college. Mr, Bowdish said that between battles and victories there were always rests—a standing still, during which preparations were mado for greater struggles and greater victories. At the present time mon were scrambling along without standing still, even for @ moment, and considerin how they were coming out in the great struggle ¢ lito, There was a continual strife, the lecturer said, between right and wrong, and rests should be taken between the battles and victories, so that we could lift ourselves up to greater heights of morality and goodness.

The heated term will soon be on us, aud unless the government is urged to take imme= diate and promptaction we will, beyonda doubt, hava repeated this coming summer the sad experience of the past year, Yellow fever is a ship fever, generated on shipboard in the tropics. In this statement regard- ing its origin I am sustained by possibly the highest living authority—namely, Dr. Gindrat, of Jacksonville, Fia., and Dr. L. C. Duncan, of South Carolina, To preyent this plague entering the land the national government alone can bar its entrance, Now Orleans has no right to introduce and afilict the nation with this plague. It is high time that this yearly looked for carnival of death und destruction should stop. A CURIOUS ESTIMATE, The great area of territory over which the yellow fever of 1878 extended—600 miles north and south by ut least 100 cast and west—and the heavy percentage of deaths of those attacked, warrant the people of the United States, and the ‘Southwest im particular, in seeking, by every means, national and local, to prevent # recurrence of the dreadful scenes. ‘The ‘lose of life is only one of the factors in the financial loss helping to swell out the aggregate. It has been estimated at as high a figure as $500,000,000. ‘This is possibly an outside figure, und is reached vy taking every item at its highest:— ++ $45,000,000 20 8,000 lives, costing $1,500 to raise. . 300,000 persons, non-producers for 12 days, costing to live...........+ . ++ 36,000,00 300,000 persons’ labor for same time..... 80,000,000 Total.......sceseccesecssers +++++ $161,000,000 No account is here taken of broken up Lonies and scattered families, all of which afe # loss and charge on the country finally, The total productions of Cuba shipped to the United States were in 1877 but about $63,000,090, and it would require several years” profit on this amount to equal the loss to the coun- try. It certainly stands the people ot Cuba who ara directly interested to take such repressive steps, sanitary and medical, as will destroy the tendency to generate, or prevent the spreading after genera- tion by isolation of those attacked. COST OF QUARANTINE. ‘The restriction on trade will charge on their pros ductions in the markets of the world us wellasa charge on their imports. This may possibly create specula- tive rise in price of sugars to consumers, but not material or lasting, and any rise will enure to the benefit of the sugar interests in Louisiana, Pensa- cola, Natchez and Montgomery are notat le examples of the efficacy of rigid and strict quarantines. Sur- rounded on all approaches, they kept their cities trea by vigilance. In i874 the fever was in Barrancas and was kept out of Warrington, which is only oue mile distant, and also from Pensacola, about eight miles, by what is called a shotgun quarantine. If Congress fails to enact such laws as will meet the exigencies of the case in the Southwest they wiil quaran- tine against New Orleans or any infected point. Arbitrary, irresponsible and ‘unthinking men will assume control in defiance of law or right. To prevent this, and to render law supreme in all emergencies, some steps should be taken in this matter. The stopping of iuternal communication by boat or rail, restrictions on freight or passengers, should not be ‘left to mobs or vigilance committees, but shoull be dene accord. ing to law to prevent interested parties from fuyor- ing themselves friends apd aking hardships grievous to bear ou others. Spain and Brazil should be required to exert. them- selves, in at least the interests of common humanity if not to preserve and foster their commerce. The Gulf and South Atlantic ports are in a recep- tive state for several mouths every year, and pecu- liarly liable therefore to have the fever int juced and thence spread over the country. This can partly be remedied by careful sanitary measw: which cleanliness is pre-eminent. But this requires money and concert of action. The terrible financial straits of the Southern cities militate somewhat against this; hence this appeal to the general gover ment. S$. J. COBB, Mayor Pensacola, Fla. GENERAL NOTES AND NEWS, A large atudio building will be erected, by John Ey Sherwood, on the corner of Fifty-seventh street aud Sixth avenue. It will extend 100 feet each way, con- tain from thirty to forty studios, and be built an@ titted up in perfect style. The large studio windows will consist of a single pane of glass. There will be a reception room, a restaurant, a large dining room, snamber of bedrooms and an elevator. From the above it will be seen that the lives of some artists will have fallen in pleasant places. ‘The Tile Club intends to charter a canalboat for its spring trip and explore some of the neighboring canals, The ‘Tilers’ will furnish up the boatand put s piano on board, so that, kept in good cheer by music, song and @ plentiful supply of beer, yclep® “ink” .in Tilo Club parlance, their sketches and studies will be cheerful “impressions.” They will be for the nonce a band of tiley “Canalettos.” We hope that on their wild career along the raging canal they will not be attucked by “pirates.” If they are, let them strike terror to the caitiffs’ hearts by shows ing them some “intentions” in the Currier style, he Lotos Club will hold the first of its art receps tions of this year on Saturday evening.
