The Countess Seidlewitz is a celebrated
court beauty, and is lady of honor to the
Princess Carl. sister OF the empress. -
She sat next to me, as only the partition of
the box was between u, and She was the
most beautiful woman ! saw-perfectly
imperial, in fact, white aud magnificent
as lily. Her features were perfectly
regular, and she had proudly-cut mouth.
and such dazzling little teeth. Then her
arms, neck and shape were exquisite.
| Sne wore the severest kind of dress. and
one that only such beauty could have
borne. 1t was a white silk, with an un-
usual train, of course, and without over
skirt, simply caught up in a great puff
behind. The waist was made with a
small basque, but very low, and with
bugIe fringe, and then. there were two or
three rows Of this fringe in front, grad
uating TO the waist, smaller and smaller
and going around the basque All the
front breadth of the skirt was laid i'm
folds of satin, in groups OF three, and on the
edge of every third row was the fringe
again, graduating wide and wider toward
the bottom. In her hair she wore
wreath of white verbenas, or snow ball,
and green leaves. Her sole ornament
was magnificent diamond locket, and
earrings Of some curious design. the lock
ct depending from a very find gold chain
which challenged all observers to notice
the faultlessness of her neck. One sly
bit of coquetry was visible in two natural
flowers-liies-of-the valley, with their |
leaves, which she had stuck in her corsage |
so that they should rest against her neck |
and show that they were not whittier than |
her skin. You see that there were no |
folds anywhere. The whole dress hung
in long lines, and showed the contour of /
the figure, nothing, but these fringes |
which cleaned and waved with every
motion, to relieve it-not even bit of |
black velvet anywhere, for the lace round |
the neck was drawn through with a white |
silk thread. There was another lady in |
the same box whose dress was very beau |
tiful, too, though she herself was not. |
1t was a green silk with green tule over
dress pulled, and with ears OF silver wheat |
scattered over it. The tunic was of sill |
yer Grape, the bottom cut in scallops and |
with silver wheat A wisp of /
wheat was knotted round her neck for |
necklace, and perfect sheaf Of it in her
hair. 1t was an exquisite dress.

z EIe Sectional Battle Flags.
BY CARL SCHURZ.

Some OF the best words in the Grafton
of Carl SchurZ were those where he
asked, for Mr.. Summers memory, that
consideration of Mr. Summers act con-
corning battle flags, and gave as the rea-
son and thought of Mr. Sumner facts like
these:
'fNo civilized nation, from the repub-
lies of antiquity down to our days, ever
thought it wise or patriotic to preserve in
conspicuous and durable form the me-
mentoes Of victories Won over fellow-citi-
zens in civil war. Why not? Because
every citizen shall feel himself, with all
others, as the child Of common country
and not as a defeated foe. All civilized
governments OF our days have instinct
lively followed the same dictate Of wisdom
and patriotism. The Irishmen, when
fighting for old England at Waterloo,
was not to behold on the red cross float
ing above him the name of the Boyne.
The Scotch Highlander, when standing
in the trenches Of Sebastopol, was not
by the colors of his regiment TO be re-
minded Of Culloden. No French soldier
at Austerltz or Solferino had to read
upon the tri-color any Renaissance Of
the Nendee. No Hungarian at Sadowa
was tainted by any Austrian banner with
the surrender Of Villages. No German
regiment, from Saxonv or Hanover,
charging under the iron hail of Grave
lotte, was made to remember, by words
written on a Prussian standard, that the
black eagle had conquered them at Kon-
iggrats and Langen salZa. Should the
son of South Carolina, when at some
future day defending the republic against
some foreign foe, be reminded by an in
scription on the colors floating over him
that under this flag the gun was fired that
killed his father at Gettysburg? Should
this great and enlightened Republic,
proud of standing in the front of human
progress, be less wise, less large-hearted,
than the ancients were 1000 years ago,
and the kingly Governments of Europe
are to-day? Let the battle-fags of the
brave volunteers, which they bro ught
home from the war with the glorious rec
ord of their victories be preserved intact
as proud ornament of our State-H House
and armories But let the colors Of the
army, I'm Ter which the sons of all the
States are to meet and mingle ia common
patriotism, speak Of nothing but union
not a union Of conquerors and conquered,
but union which is the mother of all,
equally tender to all, knowing Of nothing
but equality, peace and love among
her children. Do you want shining me-
mentoes of your victories They are
written upon the dusky brow of every
freeman who was once a slave; they are
written on The gate of a restored Union,
and the most shining of all will be writ
ten on the faces Of a contented people,
reunited in common national pride. ="
We hope that even Massachusetts, and
Boston sectionalism, where these words
were spoken, will be appeased with
thoughts like these. While they protect
all her old anti-slavery feelings, they also
show mind and heart above the prejudi-
ces of the hour

a Pastor stricken Down iu the
FuIpia.

Last Sunday was the anniversary #
the laying Of the cornerstone Of the pres
cnt church edihce Of the First Reformed
Dutch .Churc;. Of Brooklyn. On the oc-
casion the paster, the Rev DIR. Joseph
Kimball, preached an anniversary sermon,
in which he gave a comprehensive sketch
of the history of the Church In collect
ing facts for this, DIR. Kimball worried
very hard, it is said, which, as he was
not in very sturdy health, materially af-
fected him. When he was delivering
the closing sentences of the sermon on
Sunday morning, he suddenly stumbled
in his speech, swayed forward over the
reading-desk, with his head resting Oh the
Bible. Deacons of the church and some
physicians who were present fastened to
the pulpit and carried their unconscious
pastor to the vestry, where, on the appll-
cation Of restOratives, he recovered suttl-
GENTLY to be able to walk with assistance
to his house. which is Immediately in the
rear of the church. After reaching his
house. DR.. Kimball had two flaming fits,
but was somewhat improved yesterday.
His physicians say that his trouble is
apoplexy, superinduced by the severe men
tai strain to which he subjected himselfin
preparing his sermon on the history Of the
Church. The event caused a deep sensa-
ton in the church, and earnest prayers
were uttered for the stricken clergyman.
DIR. Kimball was called from Fishkill,
on the Hudson, to the pastorate of the
Reformed Dutch Church, when Rev. A.
A. Wiletts, the former pastor, retired,

The county's Pets.

A motley group of criminals vas
presented in the County Court
yesterday by the Sheriff. In
most of the cases, the reading Of the
Indictment was waived and the time
for the pleading of all set for this
morning at 10 o'clock. Juan Felipe,
under arrest on charge of burglary,
appeared without counsel, and the
Court appointed S. G. Hubell for his
defense. Edward Moore was arraign-
ed for attempt to commit murder and
had Howard g. Hazard for Counsel.
John Brown appeared for grand lar
ceny, and the Court appointed VIII
ID. Gould as his counsel. J. G. Cox,
indicted for obtaining money under
false pretenses had for his defense
Howard & Hazard. Manuel Sepulve-
da and Ygnaico Cameras for perjury
had for defense Mr.. Aguilar and How
ard & Hazard respectively. An Indian
named Chauquil for committing as
sault with knife had for Counsel G..
N. Wilson by appointment.
The proceedings being thus far con-
cluded, the prisoners We're again con-
ducted to Jail to await their pleadings
this morning and their trials which
the Judge stated would doubtless
come off the first week in next month.

Fire In Public School No. 6 Jersey City Dur.

JERSEY CITY, February, %, 1874.
Secretary Babcock Manufacturing
Company-Dear Sir:-The wisdom of
the Board of Directors of Education In
furnishing Babcock Fire EXtinguish-
ers to each of the public schools was
fully justified on Friday last when 8
fire broke out in school house No. 6,
where more than twelve hundred chill
dren were assembled. The Babcock
was brought into use by the principal,
Mr.. Wakeman, and the flames almost
instantly subdued. The exercises Of
the school were not interfered with in
the least, because the sense of security
afforded both teachers and pupils by
the presence of this efficient machine
is such as to render panic almost i'm
possible.
think that school officers are sadly
negligent of one of their most impor-
ant dnties when they fail to provide
at least one of these extinguishers to
each school under their care.
Without doubt, in this instance, ten
times the amount of money expended
in supplying all our twenty-one
schools with the machines was saved
by having this one on the spot.
Yours, very Respectfully,
THOMAS POTTER.
Prest. Board Directors of Education.

Presbyterian Sunday School.

Last Sunday morning Immediately
after public services at Good Templar's
Hall, the congregation organized q
Sunday School to be conducted under
the auspices Of the Presbyterian
Church.
The following officers were elected:
DR.. J. H. Mckee, Superintendent;
Jno. f. Hawley, Assistant Superin-
tendent, and Musical Director; Ed
ward Doak, Secretary, Librarian and
Treasurer. Rev. A. +. White l.. l.. D.,
the Pastor will conduct the Bible
Glass. This will be an exercise of
great interest the benefits of which all
young men and adults generally that
can should avail themselves of. Active
and competent teachers will be sup
piled to classes as soon as they are
formed.
We wish them abundant success in
their praiseworthy enterprise and
shall hope that this may prove the
prolific nursery for a powerful church
in this city.

Presbyterian Church.

We are pleased to note the success
attending the efforts Of Rev. DR..
White in the reorganization Of the
Presbyterian Church in this city. His
audience and membership are steadily
increasing, and ere long they hope to
begin the erection Of church edifice.
1t will be remembered that the build
ing now used by the Episcopal Church
was erected for the Presbyterians
some years ago and by them finally
transferred to the Episcopals. Now
they undertake the work of re-organ-
izing and building again with an able
man in charge who, it is hoped will
succeed in collecting together the
abundant Presbyterian element in
the city. DR.. White delivered able
cermons in Good Templar's Hall last
Sunday morning and evening, furnish
ing true intellectual and religious
feasts for all.

A. N. CampbeIrs Lecture.

Rev. Mr.. CampbePs lecture at
Leck's Hall on Sunday evening Sub
ject: The Bible; its Origin, Work and
Destiny, was delivered to "a full house.
We are sorry that all Los Angeles
was not there. We have never heard
that subject handled in more able
manner He presented to the audi
ence in the most forcible manner the
antagonism existing between the
modern scientist and Christianity.
He said: ga majority of the leading
scientists seem to be in search of
truth for no other purpose than to
convince mankind that the Bible is
not of Divine origin. In all their
writings and lectures they manifest
their inveterate hatred to the Scrip
lures. They delight to hammer tn,
rocks OF all the periods, but the!
never see the rock of ages ; will
pleasure they sweep the heavens wit
their glasses, but never catch one ray
from the star of Bethlehem" He
showed most conclusively that the
good order of society was entirely de-
pendent upon our faith in future
life. Without this faith, humanity
would inevitably relapse into q state
of barbarism-an enlightened religion
was the only hope of the world. Sci
ence alone would not secure good So
ciety nor build up nation. He gave
many historical proofs in support of
these grounds. He made no war on
science; he loved it, and there was no
antagonism between the Bible and
science. All truth was from one COM
mon origin, and when properly under
stood would perfectly harmonic.
This we believe to be the proper
view to take of this subject. The
friends of the Bible should give them
selves no uneasiness about the discov-
cries of science. If the Bible be true
and the discovery of science be true,
they must agree; if either be false it
must pass away. Neither should
scientists wage war against Revela-
tion; it is not in their way, for if they
have the truth it must prevail. All
the truth that has ever been discover
ed still lives, and the Bible lives too,
and so it will ever be.
