The RITrALISTIC REvIvAL.-The Ritualists
have just closed twelve days mission, in which
xevivals have been held in all the churches of
the new faith in England. These revivals have
attracted much attention from the press, In con-
a.. -ence Of the novelty Of the service and the

the rule has been to give short, pla,.
practical addresses, delivered point blal. a'
the hearts and consciences OF the hearers.
The great question remains-what is likely to
be the effect Of services which have called forth
20 much jealous effort, and brought 50 many
persons face to face with religion as a practical
Interest for the first time? 1t has been COM
puted that at least thirty-fve thousand persons
have attended these services daily, and that of
these many thousands had never been in a
church before. The most remarkable feature
IN these mission services is the systematic and
open preaching of the doctrine Of the Auricular
Confession. Practically under cover of the gen
eral good will with which men regard any en-
ergetic attempt TO rouse the consciences OF sim
ners, the ritualists seem in the twelve days ser
vice to have taken another decided step In the
progress towards Rome.

The opposition to corporal punishment in the
public schools of Chicago is maintained with
igor. There has been some pretty rough
-haling of children by the teachers of the pub
ie schools in that city, which has aroused much
Indignation, and given a new impetus to the rod
reform all over the country. But Chicago, it
self, furnishes the best illustration that school
Can be successfully carried on without corporal
punishment The very best teacher of that city
one who has been at the head of the schools
twelve years, has never in all that time whipped
q pupil, and never found it necessary. The
evil, or the necessity for it rather, grows quite
rs much out of the character of the teacher As
the behavior OF the child. The inspiration to
the licking comes as much from the ticker as
the licked. Reform the first, and the latter is
already half reformed.

Paul b. Du Chaillu, the renowned Frenchman
who spent fifteen years of his life in the African
jungles to make the acquaintance of the gorilla
and the other wild beasts Of that unknown
region, will lecture in this city tomorrow night.
For some years his wonderful stories of adyen-
ture, and especially his accounts of the gorilla,
were received with some incredulity, but
later explorations seem to establish their cor
rectness- Mr.. Petrick, a British Consul in
africa, has just published a book on that coun-
Try. he SAYS that he has not himself visited the
counts of it which fz.Ily confirm the sta,snart.

Removal or the CapitAl.


Some of the more prominent advocates Of the
scheme to remove the capital admit in their
private conversation, that no better location
could be selected than the present one, taking
into consideration natural advantages and sur
Founding scenery, and elevated ground.
The several or particular cities of the West ITO
one of which especially the principal agitators
are striving to remove, or transfer the capitaD
are, with perhaps not An exception, low and fat
and cannot certainly surpass our own locality
in climate, and in consequent health.
But they object to Washington principally on
account of its nearness to the sea, and assumed
exposure to attack in the event of foreign war.
The Western people, 1t Is maintained, cannot
live without the union of the States; their exist
ence as independent freemen being insepa rably
connected with the perpetuity Of the republic.
Their section being inland. they claim that the
capital would there be safe from all foreign at
tack, and hence they consider 1t to be their duty
TO strive for the contamination of their project
Of removal.
And the prominent gentlemen to whom we
have alluded say they will contend, to the Last
man, for the continued free navigation of the
mississippi river and its tributaries rs the main
prteries OF commerce and outlets to the sea-
Then Is no probability whatever that the
(tQnlt4l-f o..
forts, and these nm should be informed that
there need be no appresss snsion in the future
concerning An invasion of wasln,s~ ton and inju-
~ by fire to the public buildings, as dur,-s the
war of 1872. At that time we had no lines or
telegraph to flash for assistance, no railroads to
concentrate thousands Of troops at Washington
and its neighborhood from distant points In a
few hours. The celebrity and promptness of the
transportation of troops and supplies, all over
our country, attest to q strength and facility of
preparation unsurpassed In any part of the old
world. Nor Is 1t likely that the National Capt.
tai VIII ever again be menaced by so large an
army as that which strove to capture 1t during
the late civil war. Certainly no foreign power
could, in any event, present so formidable an
array Of hostile force. And, during the war of
1872, we had no steam vessels, no iron-clads, no
monitors, one of which Is far superior in execu-
ton to the best built fort, owing to the great
of locomotion and capacity to place
itself in position.
To admit that our Capital will ever be subject
to foreign invasion, is to say, in effect, that
foreign mercenaries may have uninterrupted
transit to our shores, and that comparatively
few Of them may meet on many fields with a
chance for victory, our millions of invincible
defenders!

Alexander von Humboldt.

The following description of the appearance of ,exander von Humboldt Is from he pen of Baysrd Taylor. who saw him in November, 1856, three years before his death Al looked at the majestic old man, the line of Tennisor, describing Wellington. cfme into my mind "0h good gray head, which all men knew" The first impression made by Hun6oldt's face was tbat of broad and genial humanity Eis mas sva brow. heavy with the gathered wisdom of nearly century, bent forward and oyerhung his breast like a ripe ear Of corn; but when you looked below it pair of clear eyes, almost as bright and steady as child's, met your own In these eyes you read that trust in man that immortal youth of the heart which made the snows of 87 winters lie SO lightly on his head, You trusted him utterly at the first glance, and you felt that h 0 would trust you, if you were worthy of it. 1 had approached him with natural feeling of reverence, but in five minutes found that loved him, and could talk with him as freely ss with a friend of my own age. Ills nose, mouth and chin had the heavy Teutonic character, whose genuine type always expresses an honest simplicity and di- rectness. His wrinkles were few and small and his skin had SmooLhness and delicacy rarely seen in old men. His hair, although snow-white was still abundant, his step slow but firm, and his manner active almost to resslessness. I could not perceive that his mem. ory, the first mental faculty to show decay, was at all impaired He talked rapidly and with the greatest apparent ease, never hes itating for a word, whether in English or German, and, in fact, appeared to be uncon- scious which language he was using, as he changed five or six times in the course of the conversation, "You have travelled much and seen many ruins, said Humboldt, as he gave me his hand; "now you have seen one more " Not ruin," I coald not help replying" but pyramid" For I pressed the hand which hadg touched those of Frederick the Great Foster, the champion of Capt. Cook, of klop- stock and Schiller, of Pitt Napoleon, Josephine the MarshaIs of the Empire Jefferson, Hamil' ton, Wielaud, Herier, Evettie, CUVior, La Place Gar, Lussac, Beethoven, Walter Scot in short, every great man whom Europe hal i produced in discrepancies of century. |

Making Money Plenty.

How can this be done II is very deslra-
bic to have plenty Of money. All the pro-
ducing industries desire to have money made
plentiful All traders, bankers, stock-gam-
blers rejoice over the plenty of money. How
TO make money plentiful, "what to do, and
how to do it," in order to accomplish this
result, Is q problem the simplest Of all
others when taken away from pretentlous
State hnanclers and solved by people of plain
sense.
To premise, money will never again be
plentiful among our producing population
under the present regime. We say-never I!
1t is u moral impossibillty that it should be
as long as the present condition of things re :
mains. Capital, connected with producing
industry, Is like the former bed of a river
that is changing its course. The current o.
the stream is being diverted, changing from
employment in producing business to thu
more profitable investment in non-producinl
avocatlons. Nearly all the surpluscs of in
dustry are being swept into the vortex o.
non-produclng capital. The industries are
over-taxed, oyer-burdGned, depleted, aud

It would add nothing to the facilities fol

We premise again. Money will not be
come plentiful with the industrial classes
until producing capital connected with pro
ducing labor has sufficient surplus in ne
profit to make II so. In case we can contriy,
and adopt the plan to disenthrall producing
capital by freeing 1t from Its present disad
Vantages, and In placing it on an equal foot
ing with the capital that has been diverted
from industrial pursuits, the industriou
classes will soon begin to thrive and hay,

EQUAL RIGHTS.

Says q distinguished writer, "Truth is
old-it Is majestic-lt Is holy And though
sometimes cruelty treated by men, Ii Is,
nevertheless, eternal In its nature" To this
may be safely added Though ever old, II Is
still forever new, and 1t comes to every age
with fresh baptisms and new revelations,
suited to tho ever-expandlng development Of
mans cnlarging capacity.
In glancing over the different phases Of
there are certain elements of truth and COM
mon right embodied in II, SO patent to the
eyes and understanding of all that discus
sion Is superauous. Take, for instance, the
very first stone upon which 1t rests, Equal
rights for all," and II would seem propo-
sltion at once so just and equitable would
meet with universal approval. Why, does Ii
need any argument to justify the applica-
tlon Of this principle to the entire commu-
nltyi Ono would think not; for Ii is one OF
the plainest truths in nature, because 1t
comes home to every mans sense Of right,
while 1t must challenge the assent Of
every responsible human being who claims
single right for himself. But We
cannot enlarge. We might go on through
the fundamental doctrines Of the Re-
publican party, and the same conclu-
sions would as inevitably follow. Notwith-
standing all this, and though most men have
confessed It's truth, in theory, there have
been enough In this country to prevent its
universal application to all classes of our
population, until the events OF the war and
Congressional intervention ''brokc the l.ond''
and fully decreed Its universal sway.
Now all are free all, at least so far as the
law is concerned, have "equal rights" If
they do not enjoy the same In full 1t is not
the fault Of the law. 1t will not exc
cute itself. But II is because of the confused
and disordcrly elements Of reaction In the
South, which rebel against the enactment,
and practically contemn its conditions. The
Democracy, joining hands with this element
Of discord in the late election, strove to
carry us back to the former condition OF
things, and by their neutral or affirmative
attitude permit the rebels to rc-enact the un-
equal laws which formerly distinguished the
Southern States. OF course 1t was too late,
thank God.
There was time when prejudice and self
interest conspired to control majorities and
make the laws, with reference to this ques.
ton. But we believe that has forever passed
away. The mass of the people of this
country have gone milestone beyond thu
contracted dogmas and unequal exactiou
which distinguish so much of the Legislation
Of the past. They have "come up higher,
and now stand on the solid ground of 'Jus
tice and equal rights" for all the people c
the land. They stand here to-day, wit
Grant and Colfax in the van, bearing thl
banner, and this alone-'Justlce to man.
Under this We hsht, and in these names W
conflde.

Mr.. DAWES, OF MASSACHUSETTS.
This gentleman's withdrawal from the

the impression that he has received from
Grant an invitation to enter his Cabinet. II

and great experience in public affairs make
him an outspoken advocate Of Gen. Grants
views with reference to the tenure-of-ofiice
law, and doubtless leads him to the sensible
conclusion that whoever may be selected fol

Cabinet appointment from among the new
