TERps1cHoREAN CHAR1TY.-The season has
been Terpsichorean triumph, to judge from
the large list of balls which we find on the
record and from the general success attend
ing the same AS the Lenten season is lust at
hand, we may consider the reign of the God
dess of Dancing at an end She has mate
rally added to her list of admirers and
gained undoubted patronage by her earnest
and successful efforts in the cause of sweet
Charity. A great deal of privation and suf-
fering has been averted by the prompt action
of ball committees this winter. The last
great charity ball, which occupies the first
position among entertainments of this de-
scription, brought hope and relief to hundreds
of poor families. The splendor of such en-
tertainments has not been dimmed by the
financial troubles which have exercised the
public mind SO long, and ladies' toilets were
never more attractive nor expensive.

SPANISH NEws.-By the cable we hear of the
probability that the form of government in
Spain will be decided by an appeal to the peo-
pie at the polls but this probability seems to
us remote. With the Carlists in the North,
the intransigentes and the supporters OF
constitutional monarchy everywhere, the
country is greatly divided, and it is likely that
the last named party is in majority. Ii tho
rulers in Madrid are certain of this fact there
will be plebisciturn, not otherwise; and nc
one knows better than Serrano the uncertainty

SUPERINTENDENT BARNARD is "hardly pre-
pared to deny that there is great deal of
suffering-much more than usual-in the civ
just now. But he insists that relief should
come only through established charitable in
stitutions." To 60 outside these institutions,
he says, is unwise, ''for the reason that you
will help class which is not deserving of it,"
Not only that; you will fail to help class
which, as experts" in charity, deserves good
pay and large perquisites.

LENT.-Lent casts its shadow before it and
will soon be here 1t is time of solemn fasts
and vigils, of sackcloth and ashes-a time of
tender mourning, wherein the sins of the past
may be repented of, and holy resolutions
formed for the future. We are not disposed
to smile at the spirit which leads man to
withdraw himself from the world ct such an
hour as this to commune with his own heart.
to forego associations which lead through the
maze of worldly pleasure and to fix his eye
upon the heavenly vision. Elsewhere will be
found description of the solemnities and
observances Of the season-solemnities and
observances which give a solemn tone to about
a month and half of human life, and touch
town and country alike with grace not of
the earth.

THE Ice CRop.-The ice companies do not
make very promising report of their prog
ress up to the present time. Only about one
third of an average crop has been harvested,
and, although the companies hope for more
frost and an opportunity to fill their houses
before the winter closes, the prospect for con-
sumers is not promising. There is some con-
solati On in the information that the ice
already gathered is unusually pure and in
excellent condition. In this respect it will
differ from the ice that was served to con-
sumers by the New York companies last
summer

A Cool SrR1KE-On Friday last three hun
dred ice cutters and packers struck" for in
creased pay at Coxsackie. They were receiv-
ing one dollar and half day and demanded
two dollars. The mild weather compelled
speedy decision. The thaw, which was play.

the companies and the advanced pay was con-
coded. During the trouble the strikers"
attacked a party of one HUNDRED and
fifty men who had refused to join them.

work by fierce bombardment with snow.

heads of the non-conformists with the ice
tongs, but it was not so effective. The anti
strikers defied the snowballs and stuck %

SEAsoNABLE DONATIONS. will be seen
from our news columns this morning how
nobly the people of this city are responding
to the call for the relief of the suffering poor.
In addition to the larger donations of the
wealhier classes, smaller donations in the
shape of coal, food and clothing are daily be-
ing received at the headquarters of our various
charitable institutions. This is as it should
be. The penny which the poor man cast into
the treasury received the commentator Of the
Master. According to our means it is the
duty Of all to give. The smaller donations
are as welcome as the large, and if every ono
does his duty the wants Of the suffering poor
will be abundantly supplied. Let it not be
forgotten that charity, like mercy, is twice
blessed cit blesseth him that gives and him
that takes"

TROUBLES IN CUDA.-Consderabl uneasiness
prevails in Havana, caused by the resolution of
the government to draft portion of the vol
unteers for active duty The Captain General
feels it necessary to establish special guard
at the palace, in order to be prepared to sup
press any riotous demonstration. The news
from the insurgent district is very meagre;
but the government reports that the troops
have killed Pedro Urquiza, member of the
Cuban government. Even if this is true it
will not affect in the least the progress of the
war. Agramonte was much more important
leader, and his death intensified rather than
weakened the insurreotioQ " Capagqsy.

WHOM WILL IT BENEFT?-A bill in the
State Legislature proposes to exempt from
taxation all the real and personal property Of
any woman who now is Dr. may hereafter be-
come resident of this State. 1t is all very
well to help the ladies, even if they are rich;
but would not such law induce the male por-
ton of our population to make over their real
and personal estates to their wives and
daughters, and thus take all property out of
the reach of taxation?

Fair Play for . Model Charity.

Superintendent Barnard. Of the Five Points
House Of Industry, wants us to give him fair
play. He thinks the statement, based on the
annual report of the treasurer of the institu-
ton for 1872, that it cost $26, 104 to expend
$14406 on the poor. sis liable to convey
wrong impression" and he says elf the
amount paid for fuel lights and transporta-
ton be reckoned as part Of the sum spent
for the poor why not the cost of repairs, fur
niture and incidental house expenses2" Well,
although furniture" may include comfort
able chairs and new desks for the officers,
and although ''incidentals'' may embrace
lunches and their usual adjuncts, we give the
institution the full benefit of the Superintend-
ent's claim, and we then find the treasurer's

What tho Preachers WIN Talk About.
Topical preaching is a peculiarly Of the
American pulpit and whether ministers
advertise their subjects or not they almost in
variably have subjects on which they discourse
before their congregations We have looked
with some interest to know how the pulpit
J would receive and treat the woman's raid
against rum in Ohio and elsewhere. but there
has been an ominous silence thereon. The
Rev. DR.. Steel. than whom no man in the
pulpit of this city is more capable to treat
this subject will handle it in his church this
morning. Another topic of constantly in
creasng interest to q large class of persons, not
only here, but throughout the land-namely.
compulsory educatiOn-will be discussed by
Dr. Wild. of Brooklyn. The Doctor has
some experience as an educator, and is also
deep thinker. so that his opinions or sugges-
tons should carry great weight with them.
They will. doubtless, be read and heard with
interest We hardly know what can
be said new ON so hoary topic
as Esau and his mess of pottage.
but Rev. Mr. Sweetser, we dare say, will bring
out some new thought from it. Perhaps he
will show that Esau did not make such bad
bargain after all But as it is discourse for
young people. most likely it will be An argu-
ment and plea against the waste of youthful
life and the neglect of their spiritual birth
right Some one has mapped out for himself
subject of great sweep and one that has occu-
pied the attention of the Christian world from
the earliest times to the present namely, the
Resurrection of the Dead and the Translation
of the Living. A minister can do little more
than hastily group together few of the more
important arguments for and against the
truths here indicated in one discourse. To
Uniyersaist there is probably but one answer
to the query, Will He cast off forever? which
Mr.. Pullman proposes to ask and answer to-
day. The answer, of course, will be an en-
phatic No! Rev. Thomas Veitch will have a.
word to say on temperance, and other pastors,
no doubt, will treat the live topics of the day
without wholly neglecting the greatest of all
pulpit themes-the salvation of human souls
through the Gospel and the atonement of
Christ
