BEECHER ON SUNDAY.-On Sunday
Mr. Beecher considered some of the diff
culties and Disadvantages that spring
from men trying by physical processes to
build an inward manhood. Instead of
putting their force into their religion
they try to kill the force in themselves, to
ignore it. Nobody so much as the Chris
tian needs fire and thunder, "What we
are fighting for" said Mr.. Beecher, needs
push and perseverance and pluck. You
are trying to DO Christian and so you
think you must be meek, and if you feel
that you love praise you must watch your
self and confess. You sweet, dear fool,
let your love of praise be guided and not
taken out" And by the most natural
process imaginable the great preacher let
himself out to bewail the destruction of
young men and educated women here for
want of employment suitable to the force
and calibre of their natures.

maturity. He located in Pittsford in 1895, since
which time he has been active man in the

and of strong intellectual powers which were i'm
proved by reading and observation. He was an
independent thinker, and his opinions were the
result of long and careful investigation. He was
also conscientious man, and in relation to the
practical affairs of life, considerations could
induce him to act contrary to his convictions of
duty After a long and carful life he has quietly
passed away, to be with his Savior whom he

The NORTHWESTERN FIREs.-The
storm Of Saturday in Nevada will, in it's
movement northward and eastward, prob
ably put an end to the long-lingering fires
Ia the Northwest. But, like every great
loss, that of the stricken and desolate ter
ritory will not half be known until time
sufficos for information to come in and
the people can properly estimate the de-
struction. The storm is reported to be
very severe, and it will doubtless be sue
oeeded by spell of very Geld weather,
fer which thousands in the Northwest are
sadly unprepared. Their condition origi-
nally was humber and poorer than that
of the wealthy people of Chicago, and
their real suferings, it is to be feared,
have not yet been told. Telegraphic COM
munioation with hundreds of points in
the burnt districts is cut eff the mails
are, doubtless, delayed or have been stop
ped, and we may yet hear much more of
the horrors of their state.

Gen. Robert Anderson.

Another blank has been made in the
roll Of honor, by the announcement Of
the death of Gen. Robert Anderson, tie
hero of Fort Sumpter. The soldier who
received the first shock of the rebellion
on his breaet will bear an honored name
to the latest posterity. He was born at
Louisville, Kentucky, in 1905, and at the
age of 1G years entered West Point He
served with distinction in the Seminole
and Mexican wars, in eaoh of which no
WAS the recipient Of signal honors At
the capture OF Vera Cruz he received a
bullet which he carried with him to his
grave. A man Of tenacious purpose, be
was we'll fitted for the position in which
the rebellion found him in January, 1861.
The history Of Monltrie and Sumpter are
familiar to all. 1t was no sudden i'm
pulse Of courage or apprehension that
Couusellei his embArkation, one April
night, in an open boat, from one fort to
another. He took the decisive step only
after the most deliberate consultation
Cut eff from Warrington, as he was. ev-
erything was left to his own discretion
It WAS while those concentrio fires of ar
tillnry were raging around his little de-
voted band, and by his act of holding
the doomed fort against the enemy for a
time, that the resolution of the North
was shaped, and its energies arisen to fe,
yer heat. Can his countrymen ever for
get how much they are indebted to the
simple, transformations heroism of Robert
Anderson? After peremptorilly refusing
to surrender, the shot and she'll for thirty
hours poured in upon his heroic command,
among whom was that brave son of Yer
mont, Gen. Truman Seymour, and it was
not until the barracks within the fort
caught fire that the little garrison
marched out of Fort Sumpter with all
the honors of war. Although his health
was impaired, he was assigned to and &C
cepted the command of the department
of the Cumberland, but was compelled to
retire, completely worn out, and had
since remained out OF active service, In
addition to his military services, he was
the author of several military books. He
lived in New York till 1859 when he
sailed for Europe, to seek for health, bat
he never effeotuslly rallied, and has at
length succnmbed to the assaults Of dis
ease in a foreign land. He leaves a wife |
and four children. In Gen. Anderson's
decease, America loses one of the best,
purest and noblest of her brave defenders.
The whole nation mourns his death, and |
while the nation survives, his memory
will be sacred His conduct at sumpter
will ever mark the opening chapter of

on Training in Theory and Practice" says
Ine Henley course is one mile, two furlongs
and twenty perches long, and is the fairest
course for comparisons of speed. there being
but little stream, and the races being rowed
always up stream. 1t is, moreover the only
one where first class racing boats of all kinds
have been contending for any number of years
on the same day, and consequently, under
the same conditions. The highest re-
corded speed for fours was eight minutes aud
eight seconds, by the Third Trinity crew of
Cambridge University, in 1865. Beat London
by three-quarters of length-both crews ,
fearfully distressed" This would be at the
rate of about six minutes and ten seconds to
the mile. If the current against them ran as
much as mile an hour 1t would not hold them
back over twenty seconds, as experience ON
this side has shown so that they moved at
the rate of about one mile in five minutes and
fifty seconds.
But the Wards did three miles, with
out the turn, at Worcester, in seven
teen minutes aud fifteen seconds, beating
Harvard, when she made, as above, seventeen,
forty-eight and half, thus going at the rats
ofa mile in five minutes, forty five seconds, or
five seconds faster than the ''fastest time ON
record" in England, on q track where NO
current, wind or tide favored, and instead Of
being fearfully distressed, in about mile and
quarter, keeping up the motion all over
three miles and coming in with considerable
left in them. Their rate of speed on that
occasion, also, will be seen to have surpassed
that of the other day (and so will Harvard's,
only one mile more, to have cut the late time
down, including turn and all, over whole
minute. Thus, if we have calculated COR
rectly, we need not feel reluctant about bring
ing up our figures and arraying them side BY
side with their English cousins
We see that recent cable dispatches say
that ''some of the journals express the
opinion that the race was won by the Wards
because of the stakeboat arrangement, which
has been discarded in England" but they
have, probably, supposed that there was but
one stake for all contestants, while, in fact,
each crew had a separate stake to turn and q
distinct track, amply wide, all to itself, thus
obviating almost the possibility of any trouble
and effecting what is generally conceded to be
one of the farest and by far the best race ever
seen in the United States.

New YORK CITY is prolific of horrors, and
not week passes without revelations Of
crimes of the most fiendish character. But
even such monsters as Foster and Rosenzweig
never dreamed of such atrocities as are fire.

where vice is supposed to be unknown, but
whose people devour the recital of metropoli-
tan offences with astonishing avidity. On
Thursday last at Stormville, Duchess county,
a boy seven years old, indentured to q
Frenchman known as the Man of the Iron Jaw,
attached to O'Brien's menagerie, died sud-
denly. Upon investigation it was shown that
the child had been systematically starved to
death by his inhuman master. No attention

The Amusement senson.

In the dramatic line the season has been 90
far rather quiet, as the public mind has not
been excited even by the portcntous announce
meDts of our managers. Bandmann has left

agement will dispense with his services after
this week), and ''Humpty Dumpty" still pur-
sues his devious course at the Olympic. The
smaller theatres are struggling hard to COM
pete with their big opponents, not without
fair show Of success.
The musical season opened last week with
a real, bona tde novelty-the Vienna Lady
Orchestra, consisting of twenty young girls
violnsts, cellists, futists, &c.-brought here
by Mr.. Rullman. The vocalists were Nile
Elzer, young prima donna, and Herr Muller,
baritone of exceptional ability. They also
leave us after this week. Tomorrow evening
we are promised sensation in the musical
line at the Stadt Theatre. Wachtel, the long
taked-of German tenor, whose ut de poitri,sd
has been for some time sensation in European
circles, makes his American debut in the
"Postillion of Lonjumeau," and the Teutonic
mind here is excited in consequence. In the
beginning of next month Mme Parepa-Rosa
will commence her season of English opera
(she may also give Italian and Germany at tho
Academy of Music. She has very strong COM
pany, and a complete one, too. Three weeks
later comes the Swedish Nightingale, Mile.
Christine Nilsson, making her operate debut
here as Marguerite in 'Faust." She has three
thorough artists in her troupe-Mlle. Cary,
Capoul and Brignol. or the others we know
nothing beyond mere hearsay. Next month,
also, we are to have, for the first time in con-
cert, Miss Wynne, Nine. Patey and Messrs.
Cummings, Patey and Santley. OF the last
mentioned artist great expectations are formed
Thus, it will be seen, the musical season will
lack nothing in genuine talent, and the only
thing desirable is that the various managers
will come to some understanding by which We
may be enabled to hear some of these great
artists together Mrs. Charles Moulton and
the favorite American prima donna, Miss Kel-
logg, will also appear here during the season..
If we add to them Thomas unrivalled or
chestra, the Philharmonic concerts and score
of lesser attractions the list will be complete,
It will tax all the energies and means of our
dramatic entrepreneurs to combat this for,
midable list of musical stars and to hold
their own with the public.
