A Sermon by Mr.. Beechcr on "sta ndi,sg
and Waiting'-Thc Growth of the Ma
teriaI and the Spiritual Compared.
The service at Plymouth church was yesterday
opened by the singing Of the aria IRON 'The
Messiah,p "Comc unto Ne All Yc that Labor,n by
Mss Lasar, the leading soprano OF the choir. 1t
was rendered with all the sweetness and purity
Tor which the vocal accomplishments of that ia
Tented young artist are distinguished. Among the
notices that were read was one announcing
s.demonstrationn In reference to the contemplated
removal OF DIR. Duryca from the Classon avenue
Presbyterian church, Brooklyn, TO the Madison
avenue church, New York. This afforded Mr.
Beecher an opportunity to pay glowing trib-
ute 10 the excellencies OF DR.. Duryea and
TO say that nothing but absence from the city
would prevent him IRON being present, to express
his regret that Brooklyn was about to sustain the
loss OF useful and devoted minister and a worthy
citizen. The subject OF the sermon, which was one
or Mr.. Beechers old-time sermons, was on ''Stand-
ing and waiting,n and was founded on the follow
ing text uho last clause OF the thirteenth OF
the sixth chapter OF Ephesians) :--"Having done
all to stand.n The introduction referred to the low
views that we're held OF the surroundings OF the
divine holiness, or the folly OF making much OF the
danger oil touching the ark OF God by unhallowed
hands, the effect OF which was that men had to
come to think that because men could not touch
the ark they must not take hold OF the car ITSELF

MUSICAL AND THEATRICAL NOTES.

Mr.. Alexander Henderson, of the Olympic
Theatre, has been confined to his room by sickness
for week, aud, simultaneously, Miss Lydia
Thompson is TOO Ill in New Orleans to be able to
meet her engagements in that city.
Nixon, the bill-poster, who Is now in the Tombs
charged with the murder of Pleifer in Chatham
square, was terror to theatrical managers, and
most OF them found it to their interest to employ
HIM TO prevent him from destroying their bills by
pastjng them over.

HORSE NOTES.

The famous trotting stallion Commodore Wander
bt has gone to the West to spend the remainder
OF his days. Mr.. Turnbull parted with him to
General Singleton, OF Boscobel stock farm. near
Quincy, Ill. This gentleman also owns the stallion
Willie Schepper. Commodore Vanderbilt is very
fast horse, having a record OF 2:25, made on the
Union Course Long island which is as good as 20
on either the Mystic, Prospect Park or Buffalo
tracks. He is most powerfully developed stallion
and remarkably handsome. His colts are all fast,
the stallion william Turnbull showing great speed
in all his races, and, with good driver, trOt
low in the twentes Commodore Vanderbilt will
be great acquisition to the trOtting stud Of the
West.
'when horse comes in all wet with perspira-
tion," said an English groom TO an American host
ler, ssyou let him stand in the stable and dry with
all the dirt on. In England take the horse as
he comes in from drive and sprinkle blood warm
water all over him, from his head to his feet Then
we scrape him down and blanket him, rubbing his
legs and face dry Thus, in an hour he Is clean and
dry, and ready to take good iced; while, with
your way, he will stand and sweter for hours, and
finally dry, sticky and dirty. Our horses never
founder and never take cold. We never use a curry
comb. You scratch your horses too hard Tho
only care necessary is to have the water not very
cold, then bathe them instantly, while you rub
bing their legs"

the trade as "Pepperin batts.n Swan replied that
ne believed them to be old Pepperill bats. De-
fendant sent Swan back Tor aIother sample OF the
goods. This being produced defendant said he
wanted Pepperill bats, and offered fourteen cents
per pound, which was accepted. The goods were
delivered, by direction Of defendant, TO II. B.
man, True 4 Co., OF Portland, Me- to whom
they were shipped. When they arrived at Port
land 1t was discovered that the goods were not
Pepperll BATS but were other cotton goods put up
in imitation OF OLD Pepper bats. They immed-
ately returned the goods to Clanin Co.. who at
once returned them to defendant He then offered
to return the goods to plaintiffs, who refused to
accept them, on the ground that they had not sold
the goods in question as Pepperlll bats, and
that no one was authorized to make any such
representations. When credit had expired this
suit was commenced. The several questions OF
fact were submitted to the jury, especially as to
the fact or the representations made by Swan to
defendant. The jury were out a long time and
finally brought in sealed verdict as follows I'VE

ESTHETICS.

Lecture by DIR. Wcissc Before the Icdico-
Legal Socicty-The Responsibility Of
Physicians.
lecture was delivered last night before the
Medic0-Legal Society by Dr. Weisse on the respon-
sibility assumed by physicians in prescribing angs
thetics. He explained at length the effects Of the
various drugs used to produce angsthesa and
compared their merits. He devoted especial atten-
tion to nitrous oxide, which he seemed to regard
with some favor. In all cases anGsthetics should
be resorted to only under circumstances OF clear
need. and their action should be carefully watched
in each individual case, no matter how great q
the physician. In cases OF danger from nitrous
oxide there was always warning given OF death.
apparently abandoned all attempts at limitation.
1t was then clearly time to take effective measures
to restore respiration. DR.. Weisse went on to say
that every man who gave nitrous oxide should be
required to have a certificate OF his fitness to
supervise It's Effects and should there be
an accident in consequence OF his careessness he
should be held responsible for it, with ether and
choro0rm the ply sician could not be held respon-
sble for the purity of the drugs, but with nitrous
oxide there was no such excuse as care would al
ways secure supply OF the gas in pure state.
Chloroform was very dangerous in cases OF heart
nitrous oxide. True, chloroform only produced
one death in $500 cases OF administration,
but ether only once in $1,000, and nitrous
oxide only once In 100000. Still, every adj
minstrator should for his own sake look
upon each case as the fatal exception to the over
whelming exception. The physician should be
provided with the gavanic battery and ammonia
and all necessary restorative means In every case.
Whenever, In case OF accident, these means were
their absence was. perhaps, the cause OF death.
Dr. Weisse proceeded Indignantly to protest against
the careless administration OF nitrous oxide by
amateurs, who were utterly unfit TO apply such
agents to the human economy

thanks OF the society," and 1t was discussed at some

Is one OF those rules which, In our constitution,

common law was trial, he insisted, by a
tween the prisoner and the people. The same
rule obtains, whether In civil or criminal
trials Challenges for cause, or, in the language
Of this act principal cause" were at the time OF
the adoption OF the constitution, in full force. Sir
EDWARD Coke notes 1t under The head OF '.PrOpter
ADecfum," that 1t was enough "that he has
formerly been juror in the same cause.n In
CoRe,s Institutes, part l, lib. 2 chap ~, section
~ loI o., among the grounds for challenge for
Princlpal cause, IL is stated that "upon his own
act, as II the Juror hath given verdict before Tor
the same cause, albeit it be reversed by writ OF
30 II he hath given former verdict upon the same
Title or matter, though between other persons. But
that in this or other like cases. he that taketh
the challenge must show the record II he Will
have It take place as principal chal,enge, other
record OF the same Court and then he must show
the day and term" II the new Jury law is not in
violation OF this provision OF the constitution, to-
gether with that other provision OF section two of
article one OF the constitution, providing for jury
trial. then, indeed, he insisted, would it be difficult
would conflict with the constitution. 1t cannot be
possible he urged In conclusion, that the trainers
Of the constitution intended TO allow juror whose
mind IL in the condition above referred to, to sit
when the life or liberty OF the citizen is involved
ARGUMENT OF MR.. PHELPS.
Mr. BENJAMIN X Phelps, the new District Attor-
ney responded Seiidttm to the various points Of
the opposing counsel. AS TO the consttutionality
Of the Jury law he insisted that the rulings OF the
Court upon the several challenges for principal
cause to which exceptions were taken were cor
rect. Each juror pronounced competent by the
Court brought himself upon his oath within the
language and meaning OF the first section of the
act In relation to challenges OF jurors in criminal
cases. That act was, he claimed CONSTITUTIONAL and
sne only provision which 1T can be claimed to in
fringe was he urged that OF article l, section =
'rhe trial by jury, in all cases in which it has been
heretofore used, shall remain inviolate foreverD
ANOTHER CASE.
After the conclusion OF the argument in the
above case Mr. Howe submitted upon the same
points the case OF Charles Johnson the noted bond
roboer, who Is now serving out his second term in
State Prison.
