DR.. Fulton ON Theatres.

DR.. Fulton seems resolved to outTalmape
Tnlmage in his denunciation Of theatrical
performances To read his fulminations must
fill the frequenter Of theatres, who is nor
thoroughly hardened, with terror and despair.
How little do the reputable citizens of New
York, who flock to Wallack's, Booths and
Days dream of the dangers they encounter
They may sit in the elegantly fitted boxes,
with fashion and beauty around them, and
think themselves safe in innocent enjoyment;
but DR.. Fulton assures them that 'the cir is
poisoned" and that their thoughts are "vile,
pernicious and degrading" The Academy Of
Music is beautiful house, yet DR.. Fulton
describes it as the stream wherein "those who
plunge themselves do straight forget their
God and curse themselves and die" Every
thing is false, sensational and exaggerated in
o theatre, according to DR.. Fulton, who evil
IDENTITY breaches from q pulpit where false
hood, sensationalism and exaggeration are un-
known. But one argument used by DR.. Full
ton is unanswerable. "Could you invite Christ
to go with you to theatre?" he asks. Ger
tainly not but it would be well if we could
invite Christ to 60 with us into certain church
pulpits for then we might learn q lesson Of
Christian charity toward all mankind.

trains, or ever being compelled to augment
their speed and increase the wear and tear of
tracks and rolling stock to reach the points Of
meeting in time. When this great work is
completed the cost of transporting grain by
rail from Buffalo to New York will
be less than seven cents bushel. At least
thrice the amount of freight can be moved
over these new double tracks as over the pres
ent tracks of the New York Central. OF
course so shrewd man as Commodore Van
derbilt has not constructed this gigantic work
IN the expectation that it will be idle and
when it is finished the New York Central will
have the ability to carry as much freight be-
tween the great lakes and the seaboard as oil
the existing lines put together. But the colos-
sal business which these double freight
tracks will do cannot possibly 60 to Balti-
more or Philadelphia or Montreal, and only
small fraction of it to Boston. So that if Van
derbilt and the Central directors have not
made stupendous miscalculation, New York
is in no permanent danger of losing the grain
trade unless the city should fail to supply
cheap facilities tor the transfer Of freight to
ocean-going ships.
The New York herald., 1874-11-24
A Dangerous Inland Cyclone.

The prevailing storm has been one of the
most violent gales Of the autumn, and, we
fear, has been prolific of disaster. It was re-
ported in the Sunday evening bulletins, and
the lake ports were then warned Of the violent
winds which yesterday swept the waters of
our inland seas. Judging from the published
Geographic reports this tempest has extended
its cyclonic disturbance over the whole lake
country and the region east of the Mississippi
River. Heavy rains have fallen, and, no
doubt, these will go far toward compensating
for the long and desolating droughts of the
summer and fall. This storm comes at
a time when heavy deluging rains and terrific
typhoons have been visiting other parts of the
earth, and we shall be anxious to hear the full
extent of its destruction. Fortunately the
lakes were forewarned of its approach, as also
were our Atlantic seaports, in time for the
mariner to prepare for the danger. Indeed,
as we suggested last week, the snow storm was
the harbinger of the storminess that we are
now experiencing.
The progress of the present gale seems to
have been from west to east along the lakes,
and this progressive sweep over our Atlantic
seaboard needs to be carefully watched by
every exposed seaman. 1t will, doubtless, be
by heavy SHOWS and the rough,
biting blasts of winter.

Into Central Alnca, distance Of tweutt.evA

into Central Africa, distance Of twenty-five
hundred miles. The Doctor carried out
his instructions as an oculist, served his i'm
perial master, and was thereafter informed
that he must embrace the religion Of the
"Prince OF all Believers" AS q matter Of
policy he consented Five days after he had
surrendered the faith of his fathers he was
killed by King Hassien. ''because he might
renounce the faith of the prophet of prophets"
Such man was this late King Of Darfour.
His demise, however sudden, however violent,
is a blessing to mankind. For many years he
stood barricade between barbarism and
civilization, causing the death of numerous
men who would pass between these equally
resolute adversaries. That he is gone we may
all be thankful that Darfour is acquired to
the domains Of the viceroy is the harbinger Of
better future for the countries surrounding
the sources of theNile.

The King Of Darfour.

Men die and ''pass away" as the phrase
fancier would have it Among those who
have paid the final debt is o picturesque per-
sonage little known here but powerfully felt
in Africa, the King of Darfour A Constan-
tinople despatch lately told brief story
which has a certain significance when we come
to consider the leading problems in African
exploration. One of the scourges Of mankind
is gone, and this Is the language of his taking
off as told by the telegraphic correspondent: -
An Arabic paper says a force OF Egyptians has
captured Darfour, Africa, and killed the sultan.
To capture Darfour has been the ambition
OF many men equally endowed with courage
and GOODNESS. In the beginning of the present
century plucky adventurer penetrated the
oasis which has been the virgin fortress to
travellers, as Thibet has been to all men, ex-
cept Hue, who went there and did little, but
made q considerable reputation by his bold
ness and enterprise. This oasis, Darfour, in
the centre of the Mohammedan belt which
stretches across Equatorial Africa, has been
the Gibraltic adversary Of the explorer; that
is, the explorer, moving from what
ever direction, has always found Dar-
four the slee shore" The Darfourians have
been not so much at fault in this matter as
their late lamented King, Gel Hassien, Prince
of All Believers, Luminary of God, Son of
Abdaharman, Descendant of my forefathers,
whose tombs are pure;" and this is the man
who is dead. Blind, laid up on a bed of per-
petual suffering, and yet having mys-
terious hold upon his followers, he sought to
become in Equatorial Africa the chieftain of
the blacks, who are notoriously the most
bigoted of mankind. The Mussulmans, who
have regard for their religion equal to the
enthusiasm which any other sect has ever
displayed, perceived that Darfour was. the
geographical centre from which they could
propagate the religion of the Prophet.
They consequently made of Dazfonr the
stumbling block of the explorer-the un-
scaled peak of the mountaineer. No man had
sublimer faculty to sustain that idea than
the blind King, now dead. lie hated the
white man; he believed that the world was
bounded by the outer foliage Of his oasis; he
determined that no one should visit him and
60 away without believing in the prophet.
Hence when DR.. Curry, French scientist,
was sent for by this imperial man to go and
cure him of such an unkingly disease as sore
eyes the Doctor went instantly, ant
! took his only son from Cairo. Egypt

A DARK PAGE IN MoRMoNIsM. Many of our
readers will remember the massacre of Arkan-
sas emigrants at Mountain Meadows by Nor
mons disguised as Indians in 1857. The
capture of Lee, the captain of that band Of
assassins, was made lately, and the full par
ticulars Of the infamous crime are supplied by
our correspondent at Salt Lake City. Lee is
thorough polygamist, having had eighteen
wives and sixty-two children, and his trial is
likely to disclose some startling mysteries in
the history Of Mormonism.

THE CTv1L SERVICE Reform attempted in
