Light the Park.

1t has been said that to keep the Central
Park open all night, as well as in the day,
would lead to indecent or immoral practices,
and the reports of the police of such things
occurring now have been used as an argument
against keeping the Park open, and, strange
to say, against lighting the Park ALSO Now,
the Park in summer is kept open till eleven
o'clock at night-during three hours of dark
ness-and to close it earlier would deprive the
mass of our industrious citizens and their
families, who have no leisure but in the even
ing, of the benefit of its cool, pure and
health-giving air. Few, therefore, we pre-
sumo, would desire to see the Park closed at
sunset. And in winter who would wish to
prevent those gay and charming night skating
scenes on the numerous lakes, which make the
Park like fairy land, and in which our young
people Of both sexes particularly find the most
delightful and healthy recreation? The Park
must be open part of the night at least. Why,
then, should it not be Lighted yes, brilliantly
lighted, and be open at oil timesp This is
the way to prevent the evils complained of,
and which, we think, have been greatly exag
gerated With the Park well lighted and
proper police inspection there would be little
fear of improper practices The people them
selves would be sort of police, for out Of the
vast numbers that 60 to the Park there are few
Of an improper character or with improper in
tentions. To object to keeping the Park open
and lighting it is on unjust reflection upon the
great body of our respectable citizens. Can
not the people be trusted to behave themselves
and to make others behave properlyP The
Park is the property of the citizens, and is for
their use. There need not be any fear, if the
Park be lighted. With that very little police
vigilance would be necessary. The expense of
Lighting or even Of additional police force if
necessary, is q small consideration compared
with the advantages to the public. We say,
then, let the Park be lighted and kept open
at all times.

MURDER BY A CLERGYMAN.
Shot and Killed by Methodist
Preacher.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, July !, 1872
shocking tragedy was enacted here this after
noon, in which boy twelve years old, named
Frank Schkk, the son Of widow, was
shot and killed BY the Rev. Samuel J. Browne,
an aged local preacher OF the Methodist Church.
1t appears that Mr.. Browne has been for some time
past greatly annoyed by boys who, In spite OF re-
peated remonstrance, have entered his premises 10
take his fruit and commit other depredatiOns.
To-day q number OF boys were playing ball out
side, when a ball was thrown into Brownies yard.
Young Schikk entered the premises to recover 1t,
and the old man fred at him with slugs one piece
striking him in the breast infctng wound from
which the boy died in few moments.
Browne was arrested by the officers, and was
subsequently released on $4,000 bail. The terrible
affair caused intense excitement In the nelghbor-
hood OF Brighton House, near which IL occurred.
A large crowd assembled tonight In the vicinity OF
Brownies house, which is guarded by detach-
ment of police, and there Is danger from the tenn
per of the people that they will take the law into
their own hands should Browne be found. IL Is
most remarkable case and appears hard to account
for, save upon the presumption that Browne Ia not

ST.. LOUIS, July 7, 1872
TWO days ago report reached here OF the severe
logging of the Rev. Thomas Callahan, near Centre
ville Reynolds county, Missouri, on the
night Of June 23 by a band OF dis
guised men. Yesterday Callahan arrived
here, having walked from Centreville to Rolla-

made long statement to United States Marshal
Newcomb and the United States Commissioner to
the effect that he was
CHAPLAIN OF THE FoRTY-ErGHrH INFANTRY DURING

He went to Reynolds county from Clinton, Iowa,
about year ago, being a strong republican In
politics. His troubles first originated In politics,
but the whipping grew out OF the fact that last Mo-
vember the Court House OF Reynolds county was
burned and was again burned in May destroying
all the county records. Incendarism was sus-
pected, and Marion Johnson was indicted as the In
cendiary. On the 2lst OF June Callahan published
letter in the Ivanton Enterprise exonerating john
son. He knew who did burn the Court House, but
gave no names. On the night of June 23, while he
was watching his sick wife,

,recast OF the Season.

ht summer bids fair to be most pc
phenomenal. 1t cannot be claimed
seience has as yet unfolded the laws
which regulate the mysterious eccentricities of
climate, or discovered all those wheels within
wheels which, in their rotation, bring round
the supra-annual cycles of cold and hot years.
Enough, however, is known of climatology to
warrant some deductions and an occasional par
tial forecast of seasons and, as the HERALD has
previously shown, these deductions have been
successfully made by our best scientists.
Nothing is more clearly and historically cer-
tain than the immense vicissitudes Of tenn
perature and attendant phenomena of dryness
and humidity. In one memorable year Of
English history there was scarcely day, from
March to August, in which there was not rain,
and subscriptions were raised for the hay
makers thrown out of employment. In this
country the Mississippi River, which drains
course, furnishes measure Of our rainfall and
n vivid illustration Of the annual variation of
our seasons. The most exact estimates of its
average discharge give us nineteen and
q half trillions of cubic feet but in
1889, and again in 1855, the discharge was only
eleven trillions, while in the great food years,
as 1898, 1874, 1853 and others, it attained the
enormous amount of twenty-seven trillions,
It appears that the phenomenon of On abnor-
anally cold year manifests itself in reduced
oceanic evaporation. The clouds which bear
this evaporation over the earth's solid surface
pre well known to act as o screen, shielding us
in summer from the radiance Of the sun, and
In winter tempering the rigor of the air by the
evolution of their latent heat, and also by
preventing the earth from radiating its heat
into space. In the phenomenal cold year we
have scarcity of clouds, and, consequently,
the seeming paradox Of an intensely severe
winter and a summer in which the solar rays
strike us with merciless and unrestrained
power. The thermometric data of the Royal
Observatory of Scotland, when fully discussed,
ed to the prediction of the past extraordinarily
cold winter; and Judging from their data and
others which agree with them, as well as from
the reports of deficient rainfall in the West
Indies, and the dryness and intense heat over
our whole country, we have reason to appre-
hend dry and hot summer 1t is idle to shut
our eyes to the danger Of protracted and
fatally severe season. Everything premonishes
1t, and We should spare no pains to prepare for
it. The HERALD again repeats the warnings it
has previously given to the authorities and the
public generally to husband the water supply,
and in every way possible to multiply the
facilities for obtaining it from subterranean
sources.

the subsistence Of the fame. Merapi was in

really glory in their depravity," he said;
s'they venture usually to condone their
guilt by proving that it is right" Hence
the great importance of keeping the heart
with all diligence, as DR.. Farley demonstrated
yesterday, for out of it are the issues of
life. The heart is the grand centre of
moral action, and in it originate all
the motives and purposes from which
all human conduct flows; and as the heart is
pure or impure so will the character and con-
duct of the individual be good or evil The
Doctor found a good illustration for one
branch of his subject in our dethroned city
officials, who first speculated with the public
money and then took it. If the Doctor lives
long enough, and we hope he will, he may be
able to point q moral and adorn tale with the
conviction of our public plunderers as Jersey
City has served her unfathful ones. Mr..
Taylor, in pointing out certain steps by which
we may avoid quenching the Spirit, recon-
mended breaking away from evil companions
and from Knockers of religion, giving up of the
theatre and too close attention to business to
the neglect of religion. 1t might be safe, he
thought, for strong Christians to 90 to the
theatre occasionally, but it is not safe for the
weak ones The spiritual life of a matured
Christian might not be endangered, but
to the new convert there is imminent danger;
and it is the duty of older Christians to preserve
the lights Of the newly converted from being
blown out The only way a man can keep the
freshness Of his conscience is to keep his
heart up to his conscience. Men may succeed
In staving off the devil at present, but con-
science and he will come with terrible force in
the future
DR.. Foss went in strongly against the mis-
use or the selfish use Of power, and declared
that all the evil done on the earth is the result
OF the selfish use of power and that this is
the spring and the basis Of it all. The lessons
drawn from the theme were that men ought
to use their wealth and influence and power
for Gods glory and for mans good. Dr.
Creamer warned the worshippers in Grace
Church against receiving the eucharistic ele-
ments unworthily. The Rev. Mr.. Stew
art preached his maiden sermon to
his Presbyterian congregation, and con-
.demned the ignorance of the pulpit in the
present day, which comes of trusting too much
TO piety without mental culture. Father STAIRS
cautioned his Catholic hearers against trusting
alone in the merits of Christ's mercy for sal
walton. 1t will not save the evil doer Good
works must be added, and every man is to be
Judged according to his deeds. Dr. Stitt, of
Kingston, N. Y, maintained that the Christian
Sabbath is the bulwark of the nations iber-
ties. It ia n tamD1e da1icotad to God Rrt
while men want to retain the temple they seek
to destroy the inscription, holiness to the
Lord" The Doctor gave some reasons for
keeping fast by the Sabbath as a Christian
holy day, but they are the same that have been
presented time and again in these columns,
and while the press upholds the sanctity of the
Sabbath we do not think the Doctor need be
greatly sl"rmed about it. Besides if it be of
g Not be overthrown.
