LECTURE BY BISHOP GInBoNs.-According to
previous announcement, Rt. Rev. James Glib
bons, Bishop of North Carolina, delivered g
lecture in st. Josephs Church, Common street,
last Sunday evening.
The church was unusually crowded, every sedt
and the greater part of the standing room in
the aisIes being occupied. The Bishop chose
for his subject "Recollections of the Gcumeni-
cal Council" which, though in itself possess
ing great interest, was rendered doubly inter
esting by the able manner in which he treated
it. After describing the wonderful effect pro-
duced upon him at the sight of this, the grand
est assemblage ever gathered together on the
face of the globe the differences in the APP
pearance of the bishops, those FROM the East
with their long white boards, the exact coun-
terpart of what we suppose the ancient patri-
archs to have been, those from the young and
growing West with closely shaver faces, full
of energy and vigor he explained the inner
workings of the great Council. He stated that
even in the British Parliament, or in halls of
Congress in this, our boosted land of liberty
50 much freedom of discussion was not allowed !;
here was no five minutes rule, none of those
parliamentary tactics by which majority
silences a minority. Every Bishop was allow
ed to speak as long and as often rs he pleased,
the only rule being that he should signify
his intention to SPEAK to the secretary, in order
that confusion might be prevented, and each
should speak as his name was reached on the
list. The Bishop deplored, the ignorance or
the wilful- blindness of those who would not
see or understand the difference between the
words "impecccability" and "iafallibility,"
which he fully explained.
The Bishop is certainly one of tho most
pleasing lecturers whom it is our good fortune
ever to have heard. His English is pure and
classical, his enunciaton distinct, his gestures
graceful and his voice, though not powerful, is
sweet and melodious His theme was ad-
mirably developed, the interest on the part of
the audience never tagging for one moment.
The lecture, which was for the benefit of the
poor was also n financial success, quite q
handsome sum being realized by the collcc-
ton.
Bishop Gibbons left for his diocese on Tues
day morning last, leaving pleasant memories
of his short visit, in the hearts of the many
who had the pleasure of meeting him. He
also carries with him the blessings of the
poor, whose sufferings he has contributed. 80
much to alleviate.

HYpRArE OF CnLoRAL.-The hydratc of
choral, which in 1869 cost eighty dollars q
pound, so that each sleep produced by it
could be reckoned at one dollar, is now adj
vertised in the list of q German chemical
factory at about two dollars n pound. Such
An enormous reduction in the price of q
chemical product in 80 short n time has
rarely occurred. Perhaps the only paral-
lei case is metallic sodium, which, few
years ago, could not be had for two hun
dred dollars pound. but can now be made
for seventy-fve cents. According to DR..
Richardson, the secret use of choral in
England has become so great that the vic
Tins must be put in the same class as the
opium eaters. In proof of the enormous
consumption, he states that, during the last
year and half four dealers have soad forty
tons-sufficieut to give narcotic doses to
sc, COO, 900 people-in other words, every
person in England could have had one good
sound sleep out of the amount sold. In
reference to the maximum dose that it
would be safe to take, DR.. Richardson puts
the amount TAT 100 grains; he regards $50
grains as likely to prove fatal. He also
warns against the gradual increase of the
dose, rs its effect upon the organism is just
the opposite of opium, the system, in fact,
becomes more sensitive the longer it is
used.-ScicRGfc american.

TEMPER-Vo1CE.-Th influence of tenn
per upon the tone deserves much consider
alton. Habits of qucrulousness, or ILL
nature, will communicate cat-iike quality
to the singing, as infaliiby as they give a
quality to the speaking voice. That there
really exists amiable tones is not an I'M
founded opinion. In the voice there is no
deception; it is, to many, the index of the
may be remarked, that the low, soft tone,
of gentle and amiable beings, whatever
their musical endowmcnts may be, seldom
fail to please; besides which, the singing
of ladies indicates the cultivation of their
tastes generally, and the establishment Of
the mind.

DIR. Sumner Prescribes.

Senator Sumner has introduced a
new bill to facilitate return to specie
payments. His plan is to issue every
month ten millions of interest bearing
legal tender notes, similar to those that
were issued in 1863 and 1864, and to
cancel like amount of greenbacks, the
process to go on till all the greenbacks
have been thus replaced. The new
notes, he proposes, shall bear 5 per
cent. interest, and shall be paid in coin
at the end of three years, or converted
into per cent bonds at the option of
the Government. By this means, Mr..
Sumner thinks, resumption could be
reached without shock to business, or
serious disturbance of prices. The new
notes would follow the course of the
similar notes issued during the war;
They would first pass for currency for
two or three months, until a sufficient
amount of interest had accumulated on
them to make it an object for people to
hoard them. They would then disap-
pear from circulation. The constant
retirement of the interest notes would
steadily lessen the volume of currency
remaining in circulation, and bring it
nearer to gold value, until it would
finally reach par. Resumption would
then take place, and all the boards of
gold and silver in the country would
become a part of the circulating me-
dium, preventing any injurious contrac-
ton resulting from the completion of
the process Of withdrawing the green
backs, which, in about three years,
would all be converted into interest
notes and bonds. Mr.. Summers plan
has the approval of many eminent
tinanciers, bankers, and business men
in New England.

Lucifer Matches.

The invention of the lucifer match
was recently claimed by an English
chemist, Mr.. Isaac Holden, in his evil
'dence before the Patent Committee of
Parliament. The production of this
most useful and at the same time most
dangerous tire-work, it is said, was due
to a happy thought which flashed
through the brain of Mr. Holden. This
gentleman was obliged to rise very early
in the morning to pursue his chemical
studies, and experienced great annoy
ance from his tedious efforts to strike a
light by means of flint and steel. He
was giving lectures at the time to avery
large academy. Mr.. Holden says that
he knew the ordinary explosive mat erial
necessary to produce instantaneous light,
but that it was very difficult to obtain a
flame on wood by that explosive mate
rial. The idea then occurred to him to
place sulphur under the explosive sub,
stance, and the expedient proved en-.
tirely successful. The experiment was
exhibited in Mr.. Holden's lecture-room
and young man present immediately
wrote to his father, a chemist in Lon.
don, in reference to the discovery, and
shortly afterwards, it is stated, lucifer
matches were manufactured and offered
for sale.

Three Kisses of Farewell.

Three, only three my darling,
Separate. solemn, slow;
Not like tn" swift and joyous ones
W used Ia know
When we kissed because we loved each other
Simply to taste loves sweet.
And lavshed our kisses as the summer
LaviShes heat
But as they kiss whose hearts are wrung.
When hope and fear are spent.
And nothing is left to give, except
4 sacrament
First of the three. my darling.
Is sacred unto pain:
We have hurt each other often;
We shall again,
When we pine because we miss each other.
And do not understand
How the written words are so much colder
Than eye and hand.
7 kiss thee. dear. for all such pain
Which we may give or take;
Buried. forgiven before it comes
For our loves sake!
The second kiss my darling.
Is full of joys sweet thrill;
We have blessed each other always;
We always viii.
We shall reach until we feel each other,
Past all Of time and space;
We shall listen till We hear each other
In every place;
The earth is full of messengers,
Which love sends to and fro;
| kiss thee. darling, for all JOY
Which we shall know.
The last kiss. oh, my darling.
Ny love--I cannot see
Through my tears as | remember
What it may be.
We may die and never see each other.
Die. with no time to give
Any signs that our hearts are faithful
To die, as live.
Token Of what they will not sec
Who see our parting breath.
This one last kiss my darling, seals
The seal of death!
