OF all good citizens, no observing man can doubt.
Vice is prevalent enough, without publishing to
the woeld extravagant statements of it, to the in
jury and discredit of the city, at home and abroad.
The statement is made, in that sermon, that
there are thirty houses of l-fame in this city
and about three hundred loose women" Let us
examinine this statement There probably
less than six thousand women in the city above
the age OF fifteen years, including the rural dis.
trlets, and running up to extreme old age. Ac-
eording to that statement, one woman out Of eve.
Ty twenty in the city is prostitute. Does any
one, upon reflection, believe this statement I?
There is probably not a town or city in the civil
ICED world, of which this is true.
Statistics Of vice formerly set down seventy
thousand prostitutes in the city of London. A
rigid investigation was instituted by the munich
pal government, and it was found that instead of
seventy thousand there were less than seven
thousand.
The writer after reading the statement with
regard to this city, made inquiries of the police,
who have the best means of information, and was
informed that there were, at present. but SeUen
SUCH houses, containing less than thirty pros
ttutes This is too many, and the public should
take immediate steps to aid the police, act in
dePendentiy. in removing the contagion entirely
from our midst
In regard to the statistics of rum selling, they
are probably exaggerated, but not in the same
proportion, 1t is, probably. fact, that no city
III the United States of equal numbers, has
population less addicted to incompetence than
are our own citizens. This is matter of encour-
agement, as the evil can be more easily over
come. Let US have a reform movement. here,
conducted with fairness, justice, and good will,
and we can present city which will be pattern
Tor our sister cities throughout the land.

Rev. MIR. WayIand's Lecture.

Rev Mr. WayIand's Lecture.
The lecture of Rev H. L. Wayland, Sunday eve
ming, on temperance, was delivered to crowded
house. The text was taken from Romans, chap.
IA, verse 81. will attempt but brief sketch,
for the whole should be published, in order to do
justice to the speaker. 1 will give but an outline
Of that part which relates to our city.
First, he stated that there were three hundred
places ia our city where Intoxicating liquors wero
sold. Nearly all our hotels, apothecaries, billiard
and eating saloons, bowling alleys, and some gro.
ceries, sold it. 1t was sold, wholesale and retail
in all quarters. Mechanic street was cursed with
it on the right side and on the left; Washington
Square was filled with it, and one large sign
could be seen on the tops of some buildings, in
large letters with the words, " Wines Liorors.
&C." Young men of small salaries were the most
flush with money to spend at these places. A
young man could board at a gsnteel boarding
house, aud pay all his salary for board, and vet
frequent these places and treat his friends, 90 to
houses Of prostitution, and have plenty of mon
ey, while his employer is short Of cash all the
time Those who employ them should try and
solve the mystery Of their financial operations.
We have in our city, he said about thirty
houses Of prostitution containing about three
hundred prostitutes These were supported not
only Oy our young men, out Dy our married men,
and by some that are not worlds people. We
had, he said, seven hundred prostitutes in our
city during the Firemen's Muster.
We had eight hundred paupers to support, sew
en- hundred and fifty Of them made so by intern
perance.
After dwelling on these evils that we were suf
Iering at home, be asked if there was remedy.
Some had said, drink the pure juice Of the grape,
and plant vineyards. This he did not think would
be remedy, for that had tendency to lead men
to strong drink and form the appetite.
Amusements were recommended, but the dance
and the theatre ony increase the desire for strong
drink, Recreation was well If that made us the
better and the more vigorous after IT,
We had remedy in our law, and 1t could be
enforced Judge Shaw's decision was commend
ed. We ought not to fnd fault with rhe present
City Government, for they had done all they we're
elected to do Again. the people must be in IA
vor Of law and moral suasion, and must be viii.
| ling TO make sacrifices for 1t. And the Church
must do her duty to see the cause advanced

NUMsMATloAL-A Query.-Who can tell why
the eagles issued in 1895 contain fifteen stars,
while those issued at subsequent periods contain
only thirteen ?-Bo5ton Transcript
In reply to the above say, that we have
an impression of seeing it stated years since,
that originally, on the admission of Vermont
and Kentucky INTO the Union, star was added
for each, as well as stripe for each but, as it
was done without authority of law. the procedure
was corrected, and the original number was re-
stored. Afterwards, it was fixed, that the stripes
should remain thirteen, representing the original
States, but that the stars should be added too as
new States came in, SO as to represent the whole
number in the Union. Such is the impression
on our mind. Il may indicate course of exam
ination and inquiry, which will determine the
facts with certainty.

HE CoMET.-The lustrous stranger the
great comet of 1858, is now distinctly visible
in the northwest, about an hour after sunset,
and two hours and a half before sunrise. 1t
has modestly taken its position Immediately
below the constellation of the Great Bear,
vulgarly called the Dipper. 1t ia only l4O,-
00G,0 600 of miles from this earth. and is COM
ing toward us at the rate of 20, 900 miles a
day. 1t may, therefore, be considered as at
our very doors. During the first week in Oc-
tober, the comet will be of the most striking
brightness, possibly the largest of the centu-
ry, and at that time will be seen near Arctu-
rus, perhaps even exeelling that brilliant star
in spendor 1t is possible that the stranger
is periodic comet visiting US every thirty
oney ears.

session, on retiring to rest, placed the money
under his pillow. At late hour of the
night he was called up to see party of men
on business, and had occasion to pass them
through his sleeping apartment to an adjoin-

that his money was missing.
The loser has no disposition to make an ac-

all the unusual sights and sounds of those local
tiles as the wheel-horse of city omnibus. Upon
the return of Mr.. Rarey from the Park, the I'M
fortunate groom who had had such narrow es-
cape as we have previously detailed, when thrown
from the animal, acknowledged his desire to ride
him, although he had previously declared that
thousand dollars would be no inducement for him
to renew his first disastrous attempt. The ami
NAL submitted to him with equal kindness and
good will to that which he had shown to Mr..
Rareys and his education finished.
We were subsequently witness to the applea-
ton Of Mr. Rarey's system to an unbroken three
years Ole colt, which bid fair to be attended with
equally gratifying and successful results, but
have no room to enter upon he details at this
time.
AS in the presence Of some great work OF art
some triumph OF mechanism, or some new de-
monstration of science, we have been impressed
with awe and wonder, not unmixed with graft
tude, at the results of human SKILL intelligence,
and labor, directed by that lordly reason, which
exalts humanity above all created things, so do
we confess to an impression of similar feelings,
as we stood in the presence OF our horse tanning
eountrYman, under the low rooted shed at SPRING
field, while he taught his horse loving disciples
how, by the exercise of love and Kindness, they
might enlarge the dominion of the
beasts Of the field, and make the most powerful
vicious, or refractory horse yield himself entirely
up to the wishes of his master; and we could not
but think that they, who, by patient study and
long continued practice, had reduced the business
even of horse tanning to the exactitude Of sci
ence, worthy to have their names in
scrbed upon the roll of fame. with the benefac-
tors of mankind, as those who have given
thought study, and patient labor, to the direction
Of the more potent forces of nature to the same
crest ends, viz: to the enlargement of the pow.

human race, by rendering all things subservient

IRELAND,-There are evidences in the Irish
journals of increased good feeling towards
the English in that country. The large num-
Der of English tourists who have visited Ire
land this year seems to have contributed TO
this feeling. The agricultural prospects of
the country are also very promising. A Dub
lin journal says:
Wheat is one Of the best crops ever seen
in Ireland. The yield is heavy, the quality
good, and it has been garnered in excellent
condition. All doubts about the potato are at
an end, and never was the crop more produce
tive The green crops, too, which now form
so important feature in our improved agri-
culture will yield heavy return this year !;
turnips, mangolds, &C., are Of such superior
bulk and quality that even the farmers them
selves are satisfied, and have nothing to grum-
Bile at but the fact that abundant crops bring
low prices. STILL however, the prices of az.
ricultural produce are highly remuneratiye !;
and besides, where there is plenty there is
employment, industry, contentment, comfort,
diminished paupersm, diminished taxation,
lighter burdens, and more enjoyment for ali
classes
