The Russian Treaty.

The New York Times of yesterday
makes the following timely, pertinent and
sensible remarks against the heretofore
too common practice Of refusing to buy
territory which we need. The Times says.
1--WE have had some experience in re-
jecting treaties for the sake of economy.
Mr.. McLane negotiated one with Mexico
ten years ago, by which we were to loan
her money, taking her northern provinces
as security. Itwas rejected by the Senate,
and Mexico succumbed to her embarrass.
ments, while we lost the chance of acuuir.
ing territory that we need. In 1861, Mr..
Corwin negotiated another treaty, loaning
Mexico money enough to satisfy the
claims Of foreign Powers. The Senate re.
jected it-French intervention followed,
and Napoleon kept up FIRE in our rear
which encouraged and prolonged the re-
bellion, and in the end cost the nation not
less than FIVE hundred millions of dollars
In international affairs there is no policy
SO foolish and short-sighted as that Of be
ing 'penny-wise and pound-foolish.'"

WALLS OPERA HoUsE.-This cosy and
comfortable little theatre was crowded
again last evening. The Japanese are the
attraction of the town just now, and their
performances give much satisfaction to
the curious, and to pleasure-seekers gen.
orally. 1t is truly astonishing to witness
their numerous pranks and various feats
of gynnastic exercises, deceptions and
clever cheats. This place is bound to be
crowded every night while these people
remain.
NATIONAL THEATRE.-We had the oppor
tunity to witness for short time last eve
ming Lady DoN's personation of Mrs
Smiley, the widow, in Ton. TAYLoR's
comedietta entitled mine Points of the
Law" So far as we observed the lady
rendered her part well. She read we'll,
acted well, and appeared well. We wish
we could say as much Of some who at.
tempted to support her. If some persons
whom we could name, but will not now,
would give more patient study to their
parts, it would be an improvement. Care
full, painstaking, and accurate study, makes
the successful student, artist, actor, and
mechanic. Ladies and gentlemen look
TO it.
The concluding piece, entitled Aladdin,
or the Wonderful Scamp" we did not see,
but from what we learn it was rendered in
good style.
ODD FELLOWS HALL was again crowded
last evening, and if patronage be what
these people seek they certainly have nc
cause of complaint. The visitor to this
place pays his money and gets his moneys
worth.

Under the startling caption Of the "Mur-
der of the Innocents," the New York Tri-
bune has the following:
1t is getting to be serious question
among Christian men and women whether
we ought not to have Society for the
Prevention Of Cruelty to Children. We
had not recovered from the sickening hor-
rors Of the case Of the Rev. Mr.. Lindsay,
who whipped bis little son to death be-
cause the child would not say his prayers,
when we were called upon the other day
to record frightful instance Of child tor
ture near Hackensack, N. j., which fortu-
nately came to the knowledge Of the au-
thorities before IL eliminated in downright
murder.
A man and his wife, named Vanderbilt,
had taken an orphan child, one Mary
Ann Farrell, from an asylum, for the pur-
pose Of employing her as servant. For
about eleven months the husband knocked
her about with broomstick, and the wife
beat her with an iron dpper. They used
to take her to the cellar, strip her naked,
tie her up by the wrists, lash her with q
horsewhip till the blood ran down her
limbs, and then rub the raw flesh with
brine. She made her escape at last, and
was found one morning in the open fields,
with bare feet and legs, and wearing only
a single thin undergarment, so saturated
with blood and filth that it had to be
peeled from her body like scab.
She appeared in court with evidences oi
torture SO pitiful upon her person that
stout men wept at the spectacle. Her jaw
| had ham hrnEap. hnr hair had hppn torn
out by handfuls; her face was swollen and
deformed; her lips were cut open; her eyes
were blackened and SCARED; her whole
body was bruised and discolored. Little
wonder that the neighbors were with diff

Literary Profanity.

There is always connected with true re-
finement Of character, the tenderest regnrd
for the feelings Of others. Even where
benevolence is not the predominating mo
tive, man Of true dignity of character
will never wilfully offend. To those so
cially beneath him, this quality of mind OF
heart will exhibit ITSELF with perhaps more
marked distinctness. Especially does sucl
a character revolt at all disrespect of thihgt
sacred, il not from the higher sentiment
OF personal purity and religious venera
tion, at least from the recognition of those
evident decencies Of social life, which pro,
tect from desecration the subjects of rev.
erence in others.
Perhaps there can be nothing more In.
dicatiye Of both an unrefned and an un.
sanctifed mind, than the fippant use Of
the language Of the bible to turn q Joke
or round paragraph. A Christian man
will not so desecrate his character of a
better world. Neither will a gentleman
admitting that such character can exist
apart from that peculiar purity of heart
and delicary Of conscience which belongs
to Christianity, ever lower himself to the
unnecessary and inappropriate use OF terms
dear to Christian hope and religious adora.
tion.
Upon such basis it is apparent that VIC
sweep from the arena Of all refined society
and gentleness Of character, the oath.mak
ers, whether Of the so-called upper or lower
walks Of life. Profanity should be denied
home where there dwells any who are
pure in heart.
Scarcely less odious to true refinement
and the cultivation Of what is really en-
nobling in human nature, is the profanity
Of modern literature. Mingled with the
toughest language and the slang Of vii
lainy, the eye ever and anon is arrested by
mock appeals to Heaven, and the use O
religious phrases utterly abhorrent to good
taste. Such writer's invariably associate
Fifth Avenue with elegant vice, and
Christian profession with hypocrisy. They
have neither the wealth OF the one nor the
faith of the other, and envy, true to her
nature.
