The following clever diagnosis of Rtualism is
taken from an English paper:-
"Ritualism is medieval in the same way that the
plays of COrnelC and Racine were classical, and de-
serves its disciples favorite ephet of beautiful as
much as the bloom on the cheeks repaired by the
art of Madame Rachel. The real men Of the middle
ages, puerile were some Of their notions and idle
as were their scholastic disputatons yet genu-
ine the natural products of their age. If they talked
about the mind of the church, it was because there
was in their days only one Church, ana it had
something like mind. If they gloried in sym
bos, it was because, before the art of read
ing was UNIVERSAL symbols, whether in
churches or over shop doors, served better than
words. If they believed in transubsantatOn, it was
because they also believed i'm any amount of other
prodigies, winking pictures and bleeding roads. If
they in 'refectores and slept in cells, and read
their books on 1eCterns,' and washed their hands in
a pisCina, it was because the English language did
not yet contain the words for dning-roOm and bed
room, reading-desk and washhand-basiu. But our
pseUdOM MediByaliss do not do these things, ana use
these terms naturally, but only as Frencnmen, a
century ago, aped the sayings and dOings, Dress
furniture, and ideas Of the Romans and Greeks

from the New Orleans Republican March al
1he question is being tested whether the morals OF

licensed gambling houses where no one can play IN
secret than by the system or practice OF gambling
which prevailsin all our large cities There are those
who MAINTAIN that ''vice 20 be hated needs but TO
be seen.n There IL some truth In this view OF the
matter. and though men gamble openly now In
licensed houses, II In not presumed that gambling
has greater number OF votaries here than before.
There are three or four open houses on ST. Charles
street. and new establishments are thrown open
nearly every day. Buildings ineligible Tor business
purposes like one on Benville street between Royal
and Chartres are taken up for gambling houses and
great dea. Of activity Ia exhlDed In the prepara'
tions In fact, there seems TO be manla Tor open
ing new gambling houses IN various parts OF the
town. The state will probably derive revenue OF
nearly half million dollars from licenses to gam
bling establishments-but somebody must lose. We
are saving nothing OF the morality or immortality OF
the question: but are only stating facts as to the In
lust now their daily matinees are largely attended,
and they materially interfere with the evening at
tendance al some OF the theatres. But the novelty
OF open gambling houses Will wear on after while,
ana the hundreds who flock 70 them only from
motiyes OF curiosity Will resume their accustomed
nightly rounds. We shall report the experiment
from time TO time, conccaling nothing.
