Theatrical and Oshcr Sermons Yesterday.
Yesterday Brother Beecher abandoned the
sombrs style Of delivery with which he had
surprised his fashionable congregation for
some weeks past, and was himself again.
Perhaps he had grown alarmed at the an
preaching revival Of the "Black Crook. and
desired to give sinners counter attraction
which would wean them from the meretriciou.
influences of that psstiferous drama. But
whatever his reasons were, 1t is certain that
his sermon was not only serio-comical In NJ.
language, but that it afforded a sublime ounor-
tunity, which was not lost for Brother Beecher
to exhibit his powers as comedian. Indi-
vldual responsibility in religious and secular
affairs was the theme of the DISCOURSE Roars
Of laughter attested the powers Of the preacher
and the Joy Of the congregation. And when
the swagger Of the Popinjay Of Europe was
described in pantomime the enthusiasm was
immense. One pious individual encored so
loudly and persistently that he had to b
squelched by q volley Of ''sh'sl" Thus passed
the Christian Sabbath at the Brooklyn Taber-
nacle. We cherish the hope that many souls
were saved.
At the New England Congregational church
the ''Promethean sparks" of Rev. Mr.. Richard
sons thoughts flashed out spontaneously and
brilliantly upon his hearers, Illuminating their
hearts with the light Of salvation. The
preacher illustrated self-reliance by the
eagles Nest" He held that the Young
eagles utter screams of distress because ssit
was good for them"-an opinion which comes
somewhat in conflict with the science Of
nature, though for all we know to the con-
trary, it may hold good in theology. How
ever, the idea developed was that man to be
self-reliant must take the career of the eagle
as an example. II not rreverent, we would
suggest qualification in the matter of prey
ing. Rev. Charles B. Smyth, at the American
Free Church, preached eloquently on the
zeal of Christ, and besought the clergy
to be as cosmopolitan and unsectar ian

resurrection of the soul, while at Lyric Hall

Mr.. Hepworth dwelt upon the necessity Of

Feast of the Immaculate Conception was cele-

Tho British Premier and the Pope.


Premier Giadstones note in reply to that Of
Edm und Dease, M. p. for Queens county,
Ireland, imploring the Intervention of the
British government in the interests of the Holy
Father, has, as was to be expected, created a
considerable amount of excitement in the
British Isles.
The Premier stated that the governments
had already taken measures to protect the
Pope. In what way it is intended to protect
the Holy Father it is not said. Personally the
Holy Father is not in danger. But his tempo.
ralities are gone. He is no longer the master
of Rome. Premier Gladstone is warm per-
sonal friend Of the Archbishop of Westminster.
In spite Of the change which has passed over
the mind of DR.. Manning Mr. Gladstone re-
members the time when their religious senti-
ments were the same, and loves his ancient
friend. Considering the peculiar condition of
the nations Of the Continent, and not forgetfui
of complications which might seriously embar-
rass Great Britain, Mr. Gladstone has very
wisely flung out sop to Ireland. At the
same time it will not be wonderful if the mo
Popcry" spirit of England breaks forth against
the Prime Minister, and if the cry is raised that
Gladstone is too much under the influence Of
Manning. 1t will not surprise US if the British
government promptly helps the Pope out Of
his troubles but meanwhile we shall expect
loud cutlery in England against Popery in high
places-great fear and trembling being every
where in prospect of Popish invasion. Earl
Russell is almost certain to be out with an
other letter-if not from Durham or Edinburg,
from some other place just as deserving Of

PRUSSIA AND THE BoNAPARTE Dynasty
In the London clubs and other high places
there seems to be growing feeling that the
Prussians intend to restore Napoleon to
the throne Of France. The Situation, a
Napoleonic journal published in London,
begins to speak ont very plainly. ''The
Senators of the empire, the Empress presiding,
must now meet and make peace with the con-
querors." Now that Havre is besieged, that
Tours is threatened, that the government has
fed to Bordeaux, that Gambetta asks for an
armistice, that Paris is powerless and in
despair, it will not be at all wonderful if the
Empress and the Senators meet at Versailles
and sign peace treaty with King William.
The anarchy must be brought to an end If
the present self-electsd rulers are incompe-
tent, we see nothing for it but for King Will
liam to invite the Empress to Versailles, and,
with her consent, force peace on the French
people. 1t is not at all likely that Bismarck
will grant an armistice at this late hour
ssToo late" for that. But Germany is tired of
the war and so is oil the world. Why should
poor France be crushed to death because
laundering incompetents love Office more than
their country?

, War Situation in France Continued Dis
aster for the Young Republic.


The reports from the theatre of war in
France stir the blood again and revive the
interest, which was dropping over monoto-
nous story Of defeat and disaster grown old.
The defeat and disaster still continue, but the
incidents have wrought themselves into new
shapes or sought out new localities, and the
faithful loyalty and heroic resistance of the
French people is record that will always re-
main fresh and interesting. Now, Havre,
which has been threatened, is reported cap
tured; the Tours government is packing its
trunks to emigrate to Bordeaux; Paladines sue
cessors in the Army of the Loire have already
suffered the inevitable penalty of defeat; Gam
beta has suggested an armistice in order to
secure an election for the National Assembly
and the restoration of the Bonaparte dynasty
is strongly anticipated in London. There
stands the situation in detail, and yet the
people are hopeful Gambetta is working
vigorously to organize new Army of the
Loire and to raise fresh levies; Ducrot, on the
outer edge Of Paris, encourages his soldiers to
another attack upon the enemy across the
Marine, and Trochu, inside the beleaguered
city, refuses to believe the news from Orleans
| and is preparing for another sortie. Was ever
another such case Of hopefulness, Of simple
faith, Of unquestioning trust? Do French
| bayonets think?
| The removal of the Tours government to
Bordeaux, although apt to discourage the
people, not only as an evidence of weakness,
but as very undigniied display for govern
ment of France, would be a good thing in the
main if it carried all the politicians with it.
| But Gambetta is to remain, and be seems to be
(! equivalent to Stanton and dozen Hallecks
in his political Encouragement of the armies
covering the capital. His suggestion for a
suspension of hostilities in order to hold an
| election for National Assembly indicates that
even he, however, is losing heart. He must
know that the same terms that were insisted
upon by Bismarck before, or, perhaps, harder
ones, will be insisted upon now, and when the
sentimentalist, Gambetta, is compelled to ask
| for these, we may be sure that France
begins to feel the sore need of her position.
| The reports from London, that the Napoleonic
dynasty may possibly be restored, and that
the people Of France are anxious for it, is
hardly worthy of credence. If France were
left to herself she would try republic until
some man like Napoleon rose to the surface and
wrested it from her, and if King William has any
decisive word to say about it he will not stul-
tify himself by putting upon the throne of
France usnrper, who has been disowned by
his own people, and who signalized the end Of
his brief reign by inaugurating the bloody war
that now makes the homes and fresidss Of
Germany desolate.
