The Rev. Henry Ward Bcechcr has been lee
turing On the Bible before the Yale Divinity
school. The modern tendency Of scientific and
literary men to regard science as the hope OF
the world, and the work of the Bible as about
done, was, he thought, sll wrong. His ideas
upon the subject are embodied in. his own in
imitable words:
"The Bible was . book overlooking with ths
tenderest sympathy for men. 1t was Interested
In them because they we're poor, and sinful, and
tenderness Of a mother at the cradle. It was ever
interested in men on q common, work. a-day plane.

any outside aid whatever. All she wanted
was national character and three or four
score commissioners appointed. Some way
the whole affair seems to, have been mis-
managed, and now Il, loon ssif it would
prove to be . grand failure. Feelings o.
local jealousy and rivalry have been engen..
dered. which threaten to provo fatal % the
enterprise unless the Generat Government
shall step In and appropriate money enough
to make 1t a success The exact amount
necessary TO do it is an unknown quantity.
As We said, it is evident that there has been
a lack of comprehensive direction In some
quarter, which has resulted in almost kill
ing the movement in the very beginning.
The sooner the drawbacks and the dead
weights are removed the better. The peo-
pie are undoubtedly In favor Of holding the
celebration, and are willing to subscribe
generously toward 1t, but those having
charge of the matter have not been able to
touch the right chord in the popular heart.

TO-DAY, throughout Pennsylvania, elections
will be held for municipal officers. This Is tie
first election under the new constitution In
Philadelphis the CANVAS has been carried on
with great vigor and personal bitterness, and
appears to excite as much Interest as did the
national contest of 1879. The issues have been
thoroughly and intelligently discussed, and
every opportunity offered the citizen to inform
himself ~ 10 the questions involved I'm the
result. The fight Is purely local one, involv-
ing 10 party issues, and the result, whatever
Il may be, cannot be claimed a. partisan VIC
tory. VIM. 8. Stokiey, the present Mayor, Is
the candidate Of the Republican organization,
and Col. Alex. K. Mcclure is the candidate of
the united Opposition. This Opposition en-
braces men of all parties. The Democratic
convention formally declared for Mcclure,
which gives him the character Of . candidate
Of that party, while many prominent Demo-
Gratis are acting earnestly with the Republicans
10 elect Mr.. Stokley. In tho several wards the
same confusion to parties seems to exist in re-
gard to the candidates for Common and Select
Council. Both sides have put forth their Lest
Efforts, and an unusually large vote must be
the result.
The Offices ofthe Philadelphia North american
and Of the Press, OH Fourteenth street, will
probably be besieged this evening BY those in
terested in the result-these two papers repre-
senting the opposing forces, and their resi-
dent representatives expecting tull AID early
returns Of the result.

official Investigations.

WAsnNGroS, June so,
Hon. Buford Wilson. the new solicitor
of the treasury. to-day began the cNamina-
ton of testimony in safe burglary business
referred TO him by the secretary of the
treasury, and will prepare his report with
out delay. He will call before him Col.
Whitley, chief of the secret service dyi-
sion, who is the subordinate of the sccrcta-
ry, and of course must answer all questions
put to him. that the secretary may become
thoroughly acquainted with all the facts in
the case.
Attorney General Williams will probably
call before him for examination assistant
district attorney Harrington, who is rnder
the department of justice and responsible
thereto for his actions.
Beyond the examination Of these officials
no further testimony will be taken, as the
secretary of the treasury and attorney gen.
eral do not feel themselves authorized to
institute new investigations, but will act
upon testimony taken by the congressional
committee, and such additional facts rs
can be obtained from their aubordinates.
BY Il clause in the legislative, judicial
and executive appropriation bill, covering
into the treasury nneXpcn1cd balances of
former appropriations, several thousand
claims, pending before the war department,
will be ruled out. Money heretofore APP
propriated for these payments will he
covered into the treasury.
These claims are for subsistence sore
quart ermastcr's supplies, and army trans
portation, &C., and will require special acts
of congress hereafter to provide for this.
For several days past CLERKS Of war,
and the treasury department have
been busily engaged in settling such Of
them as are all perfectly clear, and over Il
thousand were completed yesterday and to-
daV.

Thomas Cunningham, boy five years
of age, fell into Dry River, West Troy,
Monday afternoon, near the gas house.
The current carried him down distance
of about 500 feet, TO Central avenue, where
the river entered large culvert The cul-
vert Is about ten feet in circumference and
the water filled it to about ten inches from
the top. The boy was seen to enter the
Culvert which passes under Central avenue
and the lots of Messrs. Morse 4 Sons, n
distance Of nearly 400 feet. The parties
who saw this ran as fast as they could to the
other end of the culvert, and as soon as they
had reached the point the boy was seen to
emerge, the current still bearing him on its
breast. One of the workmen in the four
dry Of Mcssrs. Paris 81 Go. procured a
pike hook, and running after the boy
hooked it into his clothes and landed him
on the bank The little hero, Immediately
after he had gained terra .thwo, rubbed his
mouth and eyes, and casting look around
him ran off as fast as he could, TO the great
amusement OF those standing by. He did
not receive II single scratch.
