The Sermons Yesterday.

Our sermons to-day are touched with the
solemnity which accompanies those periods
that mark for us the rapid passage of time.
The departure of the old year, the coming OF
the new, naturally dispose men TO consider
how brief is the span of their lives IT we
take no note of time but from its loss we
never note it more than when custom formally
declares that another year has gone forever
Among those of our clergymen who dwelt
more directly upon this subject was the Rev.
DR.. Hepworth, who yesterday preached upon
the text of Ecclesiastes, Then looked on all
the works that my hands had wrought and
on the labor that I had labored to do.
and, behold, all was vanity and vexation OF
spirit and there was no profit under the
sum-" How valuable were the lessons he de-
rived from these words the reader will not fail
to perceive. The gloomy view of Solomon
was contrasted with the reasons the Christian
has to be grateful for the past and hopeful for
the future. Archbishop McCoskey preached
at st. Patrick's Cathedral upon the lessons Of
the life Of The apostle and evangelist 81.
John MI his 81 s. .as
vor. DR.. Chaplin preached upon dreams and
realities in reference to the new year. Mr..
Beecher treated of the morality of pew auctions
and the comforts of the love of God to man,
in his well known vivid and picturesque
style. Rev. DR.. Alger selected the "Old
Year. for his topic, and pointed out tho
dangers of looking too fondly and regretfully
upon the bygone, enchanted days. One Of
the most remarkable sermons of the day was
that OF Mr.. rockingham upon the idea Of
Christ. The Christ in which the world now
reposes its faith is not, he says, the Christ Of
the Jews, but the creation of st. Paul The
Saviour in which men have believed Is not.
he holds, a person, but thought, an
idea. But the old conception is gone.
sChrist is no more. The beautiful heavens
do not contain HIM, the throne is vacant but
another conception arises and takes its place.
This Mr. rockingham defines as the concep-
ton of humanity which he thinks will sup
plant that of the Christ and Twill one day
take stature and attributes and set itself
over the world as the ruler of mankind"
This is a new religion, of which Mr.. Froth-
ingham is the apostle, and opposed, as it is.
to profound instincts Of dependence and
reverence implanted in our most inmost
souls, it is true, he says, that it is increas-
ing in Germany, France, England and the
United Safes, and especially in countries
where the workingmen feel the Church to be
an oppression.

Gun NEW ORLEANS DISPATCHES state the
political excitement is very great in Louisiana,
and that the people in the parishes thrown
out by the Returning Board are determined
to send their representatives to the Legisla-
ture 1t is claimed that the proceedings on
the 4th of January will be peaceful, yet as
strong escorts are to accompany the candidates
declared defeated by the Board any impru-
dence may provoke hostilities. The death of
Mr.. Byerly will no doubt prevent the duel be-
tween Messrs. Warmoth and Jewell, and that
absurd tribunal known as court of honor,
but unknown to our Jurisprudence, is ex-
pected to decide to that effect In that case 0
court of honor will prove to be court Of com

London and Now York.

While London is superior to New York in
many Of its public works, its docks, sewers
and the Thames embankment its ancient
forms OF local government are inadequate to
its present needs. The city of London, over
which the Lord Mayor rules, includes but
seven hundred and twenty-three acres, while
the rest of the metropolis occupies over
seventy thousand. The municipality is thus
but small part of the capital, the remainder
being divided into ten boroughs. The want
of one great city government has been an
obstacle to the improvement of the capital !;
but, as will be seen by our letter from Lon
don, an effort will be made by Parlia-
That 80 much has been done by
the Londoners amid so many diff
culties of conflicting authority ought to
make New Workers ashamed of the condition
of their city. London has wretched methods
of government and great metropolitan i'm
provements, while New York has an excellent
theoretical municipal rule and no improve
ments at all. We have docks which repel in
stead Of inviting commerce, and system of
travel which is forcing our citizens to seek
homes in Long Island and New Jersey. It
is impossible for this apathy to the improve
ment of the city to continue much longer
without doing vast injury to it's interests.
The new administration of our municipal
affairs stands or falls according to the ability
with which it deals with this question.

SpIRrUALrsM.-An ex-medium gives the
public to-day an explanation of the manner
in which the slate and paper tricks are per-
formed-tricks in which it is pretended that
spirits write communications to their friends
on earth. On the other side OF the question
we present letter from DR.. Slade, including
testimony to show tee impossibility of decep-
ton in certain spiritualistic revelations which
he procured. The ghost on this occasion was
very desirous to shake hands with his friends
and to talk; but unhappily, just as he was
about to do 30 his materializing power ended,
and he vanished. 1t was pity he could not
have stayed long enough to write letter to
the HERALD. We have had interesting COM
munications from mediums and unbelievers,
and now we should like to have afidavits
from few ghosts,

The DYING STATEMENT of Thomas Corr,
who was shot in Brooklyn on Saturday night,
on the presumption that he was q chicken
thief, and his conversation with the Coroner,
suggest the doubt whether the man was really
guilty. The inquest will be held tomorrow
and the other side be heard.

Our WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENTS suggests
that between the issuing Of the synopsis Of
the Presidents Message and that Of the Mes
sage itself the President may have changed
his mind in regard to Cuba. There is some
mystery involved in the discrepancy of the
two recommendations.

CASTLE GARDEN in its old days may have

RAPID TRANs1r.-The question Of rapid
transit is really question Of life or death to
the city of New York. All the channels of
growth naturally tend into the upper part of
the island. 1t was upon this island that New
York was intended to grow. The fairest
and most inviting of our suburbs are those
that lie around the Harlem and Hudson and
beyond in the valleys and hills of Westches-
ter. Here hundreds OF thousands of our citi-
zens could find homes but they go else
where-to New Jersey and Long Island aud
Staten crossing forbidding and un-
comfortable ferries, because they find it
almost impossible to live in Westchester or in
the upper part of the island and do business
in the city. Great honor has been given to
the men who opened the Erie Canal, who in
introduced Croton water and who created
Central Park. But still greater honor will be
given to the enterprise and the craftsmanship
that give US rapid transit. Let Mayor Wick
ham and Governor Tilden especially remem-

Vy1sEcr1oN.-An attempt has been made in
the English courts to enforce the law for the
prevention Of cruelty to animals against the
operators of vivisections made in the interest
of science. Any thoughtful person, not
blinded by fanatical zeal, can comprehend
that the delegation OF authority to prevent
this cruelty, wherever made, is made always
to suppress the fragrant exhibitions of brutal
impulses that are horrifying to ordinary sensi-
bilities, and that lawmakers never intended
to embarrass the legitimate pursuits of science
by this sort of law; least OF all could they ever
have intended to prevent the sacrifice of
few of the lower animals in the interests of
humanity generally. But the English society
has the same blind bigotry on this point that
has been manifested by our own society, and
takes the same morbid view of the relations
of man to the brute creation. 1t endeavored
to punish vivisection made in the presence
OF learned society, and its complaint was
dismissed. If this act cannot be punished in
England it cannot here, where there is far
less professional philanthropy and we hope
the society will take note OF the decision on
the other side.
