Picnlcs for Poor Children.

Mr.. George F. Williams, the journalist, who
last year and the year before organized series
of picnics to give the poor children of our city
streets q glimpse of the green fields and blue
skies, is again active in his admirable charity.
BY the announcement given elsewhere Of
the managers of the fund collected for
this purpose, our readers will be in
the appeal touches their generous impulses,
and we sincerely hope it may. 1t is difficult
to imagine a field in which more genuine good
may be done by little money. All the little
ones who, by the poverty or even the vice of
parents, are shut out from the purest and yet
cheapest pleasure in the world-the simple
chance for romp under the trees and in the
green felds--are in the hands of the public
and should be well remembered. Acknowl-
edgment will be publicly made of whatever
money is given, down 10 the sum of fifty
cents; but the gift of one hundred dollars
will enttle the donor to the honor of full
picnic. Here is an admirable chance for some
inexpensive and rather pretty fame
How pretty it will sound in the
adniring circle to say "the Jones
Picnic or 'the Brown Picnic" or 'thc
Robinson Picnic !" and Brown, Jones and
Robinson will be only hundred dollars out
respectively, and many hundred dollars richer
in fame and in the consciousness of having
made so many pairs of sad little eyes
sparkle for one day with genuine pleasure. No
doubt 'the Original Jacobs" may have pic
mic, too if he will pay, and even 'the Real
Original Jacobs" For our part, we will give
five hundred dollars to the fund. Not that
we want our five picnics; on the contrary, we
give it on the express condition that that part
Of the plan shall not be acted upon-at least
not in our favor but if the managers know
Of any deserving person whose prospects in
life will be improved by his having picnics Of
his own they may give him the honor of the
whole five.

The Board OF Health, inspired by true sani-
tary ideas, has made a descent upon those
infamous underground tenements in the
Fourth ward where hundreds of families en-
deavor to drag out life of serni-asphyxiation,
and where diseases Of all kinds are engen-
dered with alarming rapidity. The law regu-
lating such nuisances seems not to be suffi-
GENTLY stringent in its provisions, especially
in regard to the owners OF those pest dens. A
comparatively light fine will not bring such
unconsconable wretches to terms. Imprison-

Pulpit Topics To-Day.

1t is the aim of every man who calls him
self q Christian to enter the kingdom of
heaven and to seek God at some time in his
heaven nor when to seek God. It will be the
province of Rev. Mr.. Pratt to-day to tell his
congregation how and when to do both of
those things. Faith is the door by which We
enter into the one and apprehend the other.
And faith in God brings peace to the soul
the peace of God, about which Mr. Corbit will
speak this morning. The result of unbelief
VIII be illustrated by him in the evening in
the character of Doubling Thomas.
Worship is Of two kinds, formal and
spiritual, that which is rendered with the lips
and that which springs from the heart. The
pleasure and glory to God and profit
to ourselves, and how to effect such
results viii be the topic of Mr.. Cudworth s
discourse this morning. In the evening he will
let his people into ono of the secrets OF
Church success. We have no doubt that one
of the secrats is, as Dr. Deems will show,
tina. none in the Church should be neutral.
Professor Haskell, of Colorado, will show
how God is manifested in creation and in
Christ, and will also present some media-
tons about God. Mr.. Plat will at tho same
time set forth God as sun, and will present
the Bible view of heavenly recognition
theme interesting to all men everywhere.
Some of the pastors will deal with Old Tes-
lament characters and symbols, such as
jacobs ladder, from which DR.. Holme will
draw q new lesson Abraham's vision at
Beersheba, of which Mr.. Hepworth will
speak, and Moses monument and epitaph,
concerning which Mr.. Pendleton will give his
views. Of course he cannot have any marble
monument to set before his people nor any
chiselled epitaph transcribed thereirom to
present. DR.. Wakeley Will show his people
> the balm Of Gilead" this morning, and
then, in the evening, will leave them
to answer the question, "Why is not the
health of the daughter OF my people recov-
ered?" DR.. Fulton will apply the law of for
giveness to recent exposures, we suppose, of
office-holders here and in Brooklyn. II the
law of forgiveness reaches those men at all it
should be alter they have repented of their
deeds and made restitution. The Doctor will
also show his people in word painting Christ
appearance after His return from the Wilder
ness, where he had undergone temptation and
fast of forty days and nights. Mr.. Hep
worth will set forth the same Christ as our
example. Such are some Of the topics, theo-
logical and practical, speculative and doc
trinal, which will occupy the thought of our
city pulpits to-day.

Daring Professional Burglars About.
The attempt by burglars to get into the
New York Savings Bank, on the corner Of
Fourteenth street and Eighth avenue, on Fri
day night, and the robbery in Captain jacob
H. Vanderbilts house, Staten Island, yester-
day, show that there are number of bold
and skilful burglars about, and that both the
people and the police should be on the alert.
Fortunately the police heard the robbers at
work trying to open way through the wan
into the savings bank, and, after surrounding
the premises, captured three of them. The
wall at which the burglars were hammering
is in the cellar Of restaurant adjoining tho
bank. They had got SO far as to tear down
part of the wall and to remove o block Of
granite in the rear of the bank safe There
was q small steam boiler against the wall.
which, it is believed, the robbers intended to
use for running n steam drill. The bank had
q narrow escape, and the police must havs
the credit of being efficient on this occasion.
The burglars who entered Captain Wander
bilt's house got away with their plumber, es-
timated at over thousand dollars, and have
not been captured Bank officers and house
holders cannot be too careful, Tor it is evident
there are bands of professional thieves in and
around New York.

OF that gloomy and icg,listic religion which
the Dark Ages had entailed on the world, and
whose conscientious vo.ary was the necessary
victim of "the Slough of Despond" or the
captive of ''Giant Despair" Such victim
and such captive had been the great tinker
preacher before the Church OF England sent
him to Bedford Jail. But he had burst the
spiritual bonds and stood forth a spiritua
freeman Gas we see from his great theological
papers, especially "Grace Astounding fer tina
Chief of Sinners"), and liberty made him
bold. The grand old writer of ''Plgrims
Progress" needs none of the late and long
postponed honors Dean Stanley and his
countrymen would now offer him. Their
statue may serve to remind the traveller of
after ages that in the dark hour of bitter per-
sccution the dungeon OF Bedford Jail ira
dated oil England with light they hated
but could not quench, and that it held one of
whom the kingdom was not worthy. Bum
yan's name may reflect glory on those who
commemorate it; they cannot shed any upon
his.

The day of wonders has not ceased when Eng
John Bunyan. History, it is said, repeats
itself but how strangely it contradicts itself
when an English cleric, as the Dean Of
Westminster, joins the admirers Of Bunyan TO
do him honor! Classical writer's tell US that
seven cities, among whom Homer, when liv-
ing, had vainly sought protection, contended
for the honor of giving him birth. So, had
the circumstances been similar in the lives Of
the two, it might, with slight alteration Ct
the poet, be said -
Seven cities fought for Bunvan dead
Where Bunyan living vainly begged his bread.
But it is human nature to award honor to
men whose names are immortal and in the re-
fected lustre Of whose fame they may them
selves hope to shine. Eminently is this
reflection appropriate in a scene in which the
English Dean, the facile instrument of an
establishment which, when it had the power,
dragooned and imprisoned every faithful Cos
pei witness like Bunyan, lends the dignity of
his presence to the Inauguration of Blnyan's
statue at Bedford.

The new system Of killing suggested by the
philanthropists was yesterday tried on some
sixty unlucky dogs. The result must have
disturbed even the tranquil conscience of
Bergh. So far from preventing the torture of
the unfortunate victims the new system Of slay-
ing prolonged their sufferings for hours. In
the darkness Of the sitting pound the poor
victims Of medd.ing philanthropy must have
prayed-if dogs can pray-for delivery from
the kindness OF their friends. Under the old.
fashioned system of removing canine Migrants
into the land of forgetfulness they would SIM
ply have been plunged into water and their
voyage to the dogs resting place would have
been accomplished in q few minutes. This
expeditions mode, however, looked too barbar-
Gus for the kind-heartsd members Of the

people insist on process by which the death
agony of the luckless dogs is prolonged dur
ing hours. And even then the guardians of
the pound must arm themselves with clubs to
brain any stout-lunged animal that ressts the
two hours sufocation. With these facts
before rs 1t may be questioned whether the
interference of Mr.. Bergh has been Of any
real benefit to the dogs We entertain a
strong belief that if they could speak they
would, with universal yelp, request Mr. Bergh
to 90 home and allow them to be killed with
out two hours torture. At present the work
of destruction goes on very slowly. Consider

Richard Wagner's Model Opera House.

Richard Wagner's Model Opera House.
The growing interest in the public mind in
the ideas and plans of the remarkable German
composer, critic, reformer, philosopher, or
whatever other title the versatile genius of
Richard Wagner may entitle him to, attracts
the attention of all musicians TO the little town
OF Baireuth, which has suddenly become
famous as the chosen field wherein the battle
between the old and new schools-the veterans
Gluck, Weber, Meyerbeer, and the entire race
of Italian and French writer's, against the
young, ardent, revolutionary adherents of the
1on-Kunst apostle--shall be fought. We pub
lish to-day another of those interesting and
graphic letters from our correspondent ut
Baireuth, in which the new opera house,
which, by all accounts, must necessarily be-
come model one, is infinitely described.
Tho innovations in every department of on
opera house introduced by Wagner in this
model building are of the most startling kind.
The enormous size of the stage first attracts
attention. width at the proscenium of
ninety-ive feet, and o depth, including the
space of the additional stage at the rear, of
one hundred and nineteen feet certainly Of
ford ample room for scenic, professional
and panoramic display OF the most unbounded
kind The absence Of those insurmountable
obstacles to acoustics, stage boxes, ard the
amphitheatrical form Of the auditorium should
have beneficial effect, as far as sound is con-
cerned. The invisible orchestra forms another
novel feature in the new theatre The body
of instrumentalists, one hundred and six in
number, placed beneath the level of the audi
forum, cannot interfere with full, unob-
structed view of the stage, to which end the
absence OF prompter's box and footlights will
also conduce. The ''mystic abyss" as Wag-
ner fancitully calls the space reserved for the
orchestra, will be the Delphic oracle for the
audience, speaking ''a high, invisible lam
guage, appealing constantly, revealing, recall
ing expounding." One entire performance
of the ''Ring of the Nibelungen' will last
four days, commencing at four in the after
noon and closing at eleven each evening, the
entr' dctes being an hour each in duration. It
will be given positively in the summer of
1876 The other features of Wagners system
of opera, which will be brought out in strong
relief on this occasion, such as the natural
training Of singers for snch !stunendous
work, the strict discipline in regard to the
overweening pretensions of stars the suppress
sion of the mania for applause with which
operate artists have been from time immemo-
rial afflicted, and the entire humiliation of
individual excellence, so as to place everything
on the same plane, indicate the approach of
an operatic millennium and Walhalla of
composers and impresarii. The theory is
certainly taultlese, but to reduce it to prac-
tice--nOus Uerrons.

CANADIAN IMMIGRATION. --Some patriotic
French Canadians have held a convention at
Montreal with the avowed intention Of in
ducing the Canadians who have found a home
in the United States to return TO their native
land. Strong inducements were held out. but
our naturalized citizens felt themselves too
well off in the enjoyment Of liberty to desire
to return to land where man may not
express freely his opinions. Under these cir
cumstances the Convention came to nm end
without practical result. If the French
Canadians are really DESTROYS of keeping their
friends at home there is very simple means
at hand. Let them come into the Union.
We shall be delighted TO have them, and then
their young men will not be forced to aban-
don their homes in order to enjoy liberty
under the Stars aud Stripes.
