cIpRcYuEN AND THEATREs.-The Boston Bee
mentions the fact that several clergymen OF thai
city are in the habit OF attending the theatres,
and that several Of them were at the Atheneum
on one evening while Mrs. Mowatt was playing
there. We can see no reason why clergymer
should not be attracted to such places by mora
and elevated pieces and actors. 1t is one o.
the most impressive ways to impart instructive
and moral lessons when properly conducted
If the managers of theatres and museums
would take care to select good plays, and avoid
the disagreeable and communicating influences
that too often surround such places, they would
soon draw around them the support OF the wise
and the good When rightly conducted, the
stage is capable of welding moral influence
not surpassed by the pulpit itself
Propidence Mirror.
A theatre without "disagreeable and contain
mating influences " would be like a bowl Of
punch without the ardent" and would have
as few admirers. In England and the United
States, during the last half century, very de-
cded efforts have been often made to enact
moral dramas before moral spectators, but al
ways to the serious loss of the managers; and
so well understood is this that in many instances
in this country within our recollection, not only
was great care taken to secure well furnished
bar in the saloon," but the "impures" of the
gallery were put on the free list that their in
fuence might add to the attractions Of the
place! Whether these practices now prevail in
the cities that support theatres we do not know;
but sure we are the theatres Of Boston have
within q few years improved miraculously, or
I" several clergymen of that city" have as little
business within them as they could have within
the meanesr of the ehells" that exist even in
that goodly city. They may themselves descend
10 level with the associations surrounding
them, but can never through their presence and
influence realize the truth that. ewhea ,,ahtlv
conducted the stage is capable Of wielding moral
influence not surpassed By the pulpit ITSELF"

A New DoDGE IN ADVERTISING. -There is a
dry-goods jobber in New York city, who adj
yertises this fall in seventeen hundred and
fifty papers. The manner in which it is done
is this. He sends his advertisement to every
paper he can hear Of in the country, with
an accepted order for FIVE dollars, to be paid
in goods. These orders are to be taken by
the publishers and given to the country mcr-
chants, who bring them to the city and get
the amount in goods. Of course the jobber
Goes not let them off with purchase Of SO,
but $500 II he can. 1t is grand scheme, and
one that will in the end make the mans for

If it does, it will be upon the gallibility of the
publishers. We reject all such offers, which
are nowadays numerousy made Pay in
trade-pay in cash on condition of sending a
customer who shall buy thrice the amount
these and other terms of the kind are constantly
presented. Why should publishers accept such
terms' Can they buy paper or pay for labo
in this currency? They who are true to them
selves and to their fraternity will reject thes
propositions, and not even receive their pay ii

THE LARGEST PIE OF SPECIE IN THE WORLD
According to u recent return of the Bank of
France, the specie on hand amounted to COZ
millions of francs, or about 10 millions of dol
lars. This, we believe, is the largest amount
of specie ever collected together. The Bank of
England has not had, ut any time, over 100
millions.
In France, the legal currency is silver and
not gold-hence it is probable that nearly oil
this specie is silyer-apd hence the recent dimi-
mutton Of silver i'll this country.
The enormous accumulation Of silver in the
Bank Of France Is regarded as an unfavorable
symptom Of her trade--for the discounts and
circulation of the bank have diminished. Hence
trade is stagnant- II is probable that the fear
Of political convuLsion at the next Presidential
election operates powerfully on the Bank and
on merchants to RESTRAIN them from an expan-
sion of credits.
We should suppose that the presence of SO
large an amount of specie, in city like Paris,
where revolutions are so frequent, would be
dangerous The Socialists and Red Republi-
cans are opposed TO the existing institutions OF
property, and might be tempted to make d
practical distribution Of this bank fund.
IL the throne was not safe in 18i8 with the
aid Of sixty thorisand troops, why would the
bank vault be when it is susceptible Of so easy
a division betwe en- troops and people?--South
ern Press.
