Sermons in the Newspa pers.

There is very neat little difference be-
tween Mr. Beecher and former foreman in
the Tribune printing Office as to whether it was
in the columns of our contemporary or Of some
other paper not named that reports of ser
mons were first given. This is the way these
things always happen. Robert Fulton did
not make the first steamboat. Somebody
else did it. You can read all about it in the
history of somebody else's life. Watt didn't
make the first steam engine. Somebody in
ancient Greece contemplated his teakettle
while Watt was yet floating around in space
as an ssatomic molecule." To associate the
name Of Morse with the telegraph, or Frank
lin with electricity, or Newton with gravita-
ton, is moonshine. These associations are
the fond delusions Of common knowledge. In
order to destroy all these claims of inventors
it is only necessary to establish that some
body watched teakettle boil before Watt
did, or carried steam engine over river in
kite before the time of Franklin, or saw
pippin tumble to the earth before Newton
ever went into an orchard. This is the patent
process for invalidating discovery. Sermons
were first regularly reported in the HERALD.
For years other journals left us q monopoly of
this field, and we gave on Monday morning as
part of the news of the day all the important
sermons preached on Sunday. Some people
of the Puritanic stripe even thought it was a
very great outrage on our part. And the fact
that the HERALD first made sermons feature
of the daily news will not be invalidated by
showing that some other paper had printed
sermon now and then long before.

Cfvil Service Reform.

II seems to be certain that the President has
expressed his determination to sustain the
civil service reform measure and to enforce it
in spite of the clamor of those republicans who
contend that the only way to save the party
is to turn out one class of office-holders
and appoint another class. The President
no doubt, meant to have civil service reform
in the beginning. When he became ambi-
tious and prone to dattering counsellors, and
with the third term phantom leading him on
as Hamlet was led by his fathers ghost,
he neglected civil service reform and ap-
pointed men merely because they were
efficient politicians as ruthlessly as ever
Andrew Jackson appointed them. But he
sees the folly of that as he no doubt sees
the folly Of many other things. He sees that,
after all, he has more to gain or lose in the
two years before him than any man in his
party He has his fame as President and
General to conserve. He has the pride of his
tory He will be remembered when nearly
every man now living will be forgotten, and
he must be jealous of that memory. He does
not care to throw away all he has gained and
all he may gain to save politicians who are
largely responsible for the ruin that has fallen
upon his administration. Il Is bis duty to

Italian Opera-Il Barbiere di Seviglin&
The Italian opera does not seem to come under
the popular head of Thanksgiving amusements.
for there was q terrible dearth OF patrons last
night at the performance OF Rossini's comic opera
I'll Barbiere di Seviglia." The performance was
not attractive in any sense Of the word. The cast
was the following :-Rosina, Mile. Donadio; Alma
viva Signor Benirate; Bartolo. Sgnor Fiortnis
Bas!lio, Carl Formes; Figaro, Signor Del Puente-.
1t is impossible to speak IN terms OF commenda-
ton OF the performance except IN the case OF Del
Puente. Mlle Donadio failed TO give even passing
interest to the role Of ROsna, and Benfratelll was
utterly inadequate to the requirements Of tho
tenor role. Carl Formes has not recovered his
voice, and nara as 1t is with one who heard him
IN his prime to criticise twenty years later the
performance 0l one OF the greatest artists IN hi1
line, who mas ever sung such roles as Basio.,
Marcel, Bertram and Leporeo, we are compelled
to say mat the operatc career OF Carl FOrmes is
past and that every r0e he essays at the presents
day is an injury to his past fame. 1t w0ud be
difficult Tor any impresario to present worse
representation OF R0ssini's opera "Lohengrin'n
will be given tonight as q farewell performances
OF the season, and no one shonld miss the wonder-
fl tmper sonation OF the role OF Elsa by the great
est OF American prime donne Nile. Albani.

..swindling Operations"

NJ Clement Duvernois of Paris goes to
prison for two years for financial operation
not more reprehensible morally than the ope-
ration of Little Emma, in which a United
States Minister Plenipotentiary was concerned
in London in fact, not more reprehensible
than operations that are started by the hun
dred every day in the year at all the specula-
tive centres. Half the intellectual activity of
Wall street is excited over projects with no
better economical foundation than the Span
ish scheme that has sent Duvernois to prison
as swindler-has put the indelible brand of
crime on life that was above the average for
fair record and promise. Duvernois was a
journalist, man of clear perceptions and
vigorous intellect He sat in the Chamber OF
Deputies, has occupied important posts in the
government of his country and has been in
politics nearly all his life, at one time as q
liberal and then as an imperialist. He is,
therefore, no vulgar jailbird but he tam
pered with scheme to get the money of the
public in exchange for printed swindles and
away he goes. We may measure the disre-
gard for persons of the French law in matters
of this sort by the fact that gentleman Of
brilliant talents, who received very large
vote for the Presidency of the United States,
might 60 to the same prison for the same
offence if French justice could lay hands on
him. Facts Of this sort have good effect on
the financial mind, and they force US to con-
cede that ''they manage these things better
in the Gallo capital than we do How some
of that sort Of justice would clean ont Wall
street! It would be much less free there; but
there might be compensation for that in the
honesty it would enforce. And what would
be the consequence Of making Wall street
honest? Here is q speculation that touches
the edge of the infinite.

Journalism and It's Changes.

The announcement seems to be true that
Colonel John w. Forney, the founder and
editor Of The Press, of Philadelphia, has sold
q controlling interest in that journal to
Colonel A. X. Mcclure, who will become its
editor with the beginning Of the new year.
Colonel Forney retires altogether from jour-
nalism, and will, it is said, spend some years
in Europe.
1t is about sixteen years since Colonel
Forney founded The Press. He had edited
The Pey,asyluanidn, the democratic organ in
Philadelphia, and the Washington Union
when it was the democratic organ of President
Pierce. The Press began in 1857. Mr..
Buchanan had been elected President, and
Colonel Forney, dissatisfied with the treat
ment he resolved from the new Executive,
started his newspaper. Beginning as DEM
ocratic organ and supporting Mr.. Buchanan,
it very soon took sides with Douglas and
Walker, leading the anti-Lecompton move
ment and contributing largely to that
disruption of the democratic party
which secured the election Of Lincoln.
Thenceforward" it was republican
paper and so remained until the
present time. It is understood that
Colonel Forney has long felt dissatisfied
with Grant and the party and when he went
to Europe it was because he could not sup
port and did not wish to oppose His retire
ment from The Press marks the withdrawal
from journalism of one of its oldest, boldest
and bravest members. Although generally
acting in close harmony with parties and po-
litical movements, Colonel Forney has always
shown the utmost pride in the integrity and
Advancement of journalism, respecting its
amenities and responsibilities and striving to
increase its dignity and usefulness.
We do not know what Colonel Mcclure pro-
poses to do with The Press. He has high
reputation in Pennsylvania as writer and
politician. His success will depend upon
whether he means to be journalist or poll
ician. He cannot hold both Of these offices.
The New York herald., 1874-11-27
Butler's Earthquake.

It was the opinion of the astute Cotton
Mather, who understood Massachusetts thor
oughly, that "the devil might have sufficient
skill in chemistry to get up thunder shower
in that part of the world; and if thunder
shower, why not an earthquake? Is there
any superior dignity in your earthquake to
remove it from the operation of rule that is
good for thunder showers? Is there not the
same equality of dignity and standing among
natural phenomena that there is among men?
If there is not the republican party has still
a noble future before it but we believe there
is, and we therefore feel assured that the emil
nent parsonage alluded to could have got up
an earthquake in Massachusetts. Lately,
however, he has not been in that State. 1t
has ceased to be the seat Of all the moral vir-
tues, it has gone over to the democrats, and
the great birthstone functionary has departed,
perhaps for South Carolina. In his absence
there is only one other magnate in Massachu-
sets equal to the organization of an earth
quake, and that, Of course, is Mr.. Butler.
The responsibility for this event must there
fore, be laid at that gentleman's door. But
what object has he in getting up an earth
quake now? What precise end has he to gain
by detonation at the present time? On gen.
eral principles we can comprehend his dispo-
sition to make q noise in the world, and while
he was in the neighborhood Of Fort Fisher
we could understand the profit to his rep
utation Of general "dusting down"
of the solid walls of that part of
the world; but why Imagine howl
ings" for the quiet people of Massachu-
setts just now? Is it a case of what the slang
Of the period designates "pure cussedness ?"
As the Essex district refuses to send Ben to
Congress any more it is just possible that
since it can no longer be of any use to him
he has resolved to give it q parting taste of his
quality. But we are disposed to take another
view. Butler is too good an economist to
waste ON earthquake in the mere indulgence
of spite. No, it is an early preparation for the
next Congressional canvass. He intends to
frighten out of that district all but his own
supporters. Ben's friends will never finch at
little subterranean nonsense. Sulphur and
the infammable drugs generally have no
terrors for people with q powerful friend at
court; so they will stand their ground. But
the people whose failings lean to virtue side
will leave by more or less general consent.
One earthquake, however, will hardly do it.
It will take several The Essex district may,
therefore, prepare for other earthquakes. It
will be damaged, of course; but that we can
not help. Corner lots must be cheap some-
where, and why not there as well as elsewhere?
But whatever happens to Essex we rejoice that
Butler has been heard from. That long-con :
tinued silence was becoming oppressive, and
excited apprehension was painfully on the
stretch. Now that it is known where Ben is,
and that the outline of new plan is vis
BILE, men will breathe easier.
