Pulpit Topics To-Day.

With the incoming of August, more from
custom than from any pressure of the
weather, the pastors take themselves and
their themes to the country places and leave
their city pulpits in the hands of exchanges
or temporary supplies, who are Indifferent as
to the impression they may make on the COM
munity to whom they minister for the
time being This, we presume, is the
reason that so few Of them of late announce
their pulpit topics for Sunday They take
for granted that the few who care to hear
them will go to church any way and it is not
worth while inviting the masses, who do not
usually go to church, or the strangers. who
may not know specifically where TO go. ''The
Leadership of Jesus" constitutes theme
and with much profit speak for thirty
or forty minutes this morning, just as Mr.
Lightbourn might, and doubtless will, speak
this evening about the interrupted public
man. In the midst of almost universal cor
ruption an interrupted public man is such a
rarity that he ought to be set forth for the
gaze and admiration of the nation. That pill
grims may and do sing is an established fact,
but Mr.. Taylor will give us on old version of
Gods new song, as sung by His pilgrim peo-
pie while journeying on their road to Zion
Such a song should have mirth as well as
music in 1t, and not be drawled and droned
out as if the pilgrims were sorry that they
had ever started and would gladly retrace
their steps if they could with the least con-
sistency. Professor Loutrel will set forth Job
as an example Of long suffering, affection and
patience; man in whom patience had her
perfect work. SO that when he was tried his
character shone with a lustre that it could not
approach before Miss Anna Oliver, theo-
logical student and stirring temperance lee
turer, will crystalline the beauties and advan-
tages of cold water to thirsty souls in what
she may say this afternoon. And converts,
no doubt, will be won to the temperance
ranks by her winning words and ways.

millions an unceasing stream of 'the very
best currency the world ever saw" We can
spare them Mr. Boutwell, and Mr.. Henry @.
Carey to develop their home manufactures,
and Mr.. Jayne and Mr.. Sanborn to instruct
them in the collection of taxes. Jay Cooke
will be ready to serve as a sort of financial
Jack-of al-trades he can show them what
advantages arise out of national debt how
to manage freedman's bank and how to sell
railroad bonds Marshall Packard and Gov
ernor Kellogg who will find Louisiana unin-
teresting after next year, can mass the col
ored vote to their hearts content in Senegam-
bia Senator Spencer, whom an ungrateful
population in'Alabama is about to dismiss,
will know how to colonize voters in the Desert
of Sahara and to get up. sham Ku Klux in.
Ashantee. We could spare Wendell Phillips
and General Toombs, jeff Davis and Jack Lo-
gan as model statesmen. General Hawley might
go over for while to teach the African poll
hcian how to maintain firm and graceful
seat on the fence, but we should want the
General returned to US. John Kelly would
be useful to eliminate the brains from the
African Tammany and General John Coch-
rane to get up liberal party and superintend
the nomination OF O President. Morrissey
could teach them how to run politics across
faro table, and if he is as communicative in
Africa as at Saratoga what he does not tell
them they will hardly have time to hear.
Tweed will go out, Of course. 1t will be de-
lightful to hear him ask the people of the
Soudan 'What are you going to do about it2"
Minnesota will lose the services Of the Illus
.trious Bill King, who will take out few fine
cattle and sheep and his own private editor.
John T. Hoffman will seek new career in
Monomotapa or Damara land. Senator Dor
sey, of Arkansas will ask for grant of East
African bonds to build railroad from the
Equator to the sources of the Nile-be the
same more or less. Mr.. Jay Gould will natu-
rally control the great transcontinental broad
gauge line from Cape Lopez to Cape Delgado
in the interest of the foreign shareholders.
The ghost of Schuyler Coltax will hover
around as soon as q Credit Mobilier is estab-
ished. There will be a great emigration of
professional whitewashers and blatherskites,
to whom an African career with an unlimited
currency will offer great temptations To help
along in the political settlement of the
continent and the establishment of free
institutions New York can furnish great
number of expert ballot box suffers and re-
peaters Louisiana can supply model Re
turning Board and form for forged registra-
ton certificates; ex-Attorney General Will
Jams can receive reports of outrages and in
timidation and that remarkable patriot,
McArdle, of Vicksburg, will, no doubt, hasten
to Liberia to head white mans party and es-
tablish a color line in politics. 1t is possible
that by next year the New York city debt will
be SO great that we can spare Comptroller
Green to become General Political Manager
of the African Continent.

The Cruise of tho Yachts.

Yachting without wind and in the depress-
ing influences of constant rain is not On ex-
hilarating sport, and the yachtsmen on their
summer cruise are therefore not to be con-
graduated on their weather. The run to
Newport yesterday may be classed as pleas
ant exception to this rule. But of the
whole number of those whose summer vaca-
tons are enjoyed on the water only small
proportion care for that side of the sport that
is most legitimately exhilarating; wlsile to all
the rest the life on the boat, breeze or no
breeze, the separation from the daily routine
of life on shore, the social freedom and ease,
are the charms of the yearly occasion, while to
the race in a good wind, the fine seamanship,
the handsome maneuvre, the evidence of
speed, they are, though far from Indifferent,
at least less attentive than to comfort, pleas-
ure and good fellowship. AllShis is natural
and in a degree very much as it should be;
but for the indulgence of this sort of taste the
cruise must be in summer which is the season
of general holidays and the time of pleasant
weather Tor outdoor life; but which is there
fore also the season of Gains and drifting
races; and as this side of sport is preferred
the absence of good breezes for race must be
taken as general accompaniment.
Races in the autumn and "outside" and
which cultivate the sport in its more vigorous
aspect, have the advantage over the other sort
that they lead to the fuller development of one
of the yachtsman' aspirations-fne expert
ments in naval architecture. Our little pleasure
craft, made for cruising in the river aud up
the Sound in the summer Gains, are in pic
turesque contrast to those ideals of the lover
Of the sea, that, with all the fine lines and
dainty aspect of the little favorites, are also
fit to buffet the Atlantic in even its least
amiable moods. Our yachting activity pre-
vents fertility in the production of craft of
that sort by sort of ''natural selection In
favor of craft of the lighter kind for summer
fun. But in another direction the New York
Yacht Club goes on with the vigor of fresh
vitality. 1t has established, in great degree
through the energy Of Vice Commo-
dore Garner, fine and commodious
club house by the water side, much in
the fashion of the famous castle at
Cowes the marine headquarters Of British
yachtsmen, and is not as formerly, neces-
sarily separated at its club house from the
scene Of its aquatic activities. All this con-
duces greatly to the comfort and pleasure of
the members, and, like the tendency of the
summer cruise, promises to strengthen the
club in its social aspects, and without any
undue sacrifice of the spirit and rivalry of the
| sport.

THE Pooh CHILDREN AND THE PUBLIC
Yesterday another free picnic was given to
the poor children of New York. Over fifteen
hundred little ones participated in the enjoy
ment of the day, and no one who is not
child nor poor can appreciate the delight
and surprise Of the excursion. To
these little children the weekly picnic is an
event to be remembered for years, and the op-
portunity offered of doing so great good at
cost so small is one which our benevolent
and anterprisinR citizens should not neglect

A Groat Opportunity in Africa.

An enthusiastic Western journalist proposes
the utilization of Africa" That continent
remains, in truth, as Stephen A. Douglas
used to say of Vermont, a good place to go
away from. 1t is point of departure rather
than a port of entry. It's exports continue
very largely to exceed its imports 1t has no
home manufactures to speak of. Its currency
is in very disorderly condition, consisting
for the most part of gold. Few of its millions
of inhabitants have the slightest suspicion
that national debt is national blessing.
The heather in his blindness does not know
the felicity of selling short we doubt if
there is watered stock between the Gaboon
on the west and Benguela or the Mozambique
Channel on the east. Puts and calls are I'M
known, and the only straddle with which our
African brother is familiar is connected
with the cavalry branch of the army Of
rings he knows SO little that he thinks OF them
chiefly as nose ornaments. He has no more
idea of corners than of corner lots, and is as
ignorant of subsidies as of universal suffrage
and ballot box stuffing. In fact, it may be
said that Africa knows scarcely anything of
the blessings of civilization.
What happy thought it would be in the
American people to make the centennial of our
independence memorable by comforting upon
the benighted Africans our redundant
blessings THOSE surplus sources of our great
ness and power which we could best spare
without feeling the loss. On the evening of
the first Tuesday after the first Monday in No
vember, 1876, there will be a great number of
enterprising, active, ingenious, more or less
intelligent and ambitious American citizens
to whom life will appear failure; whose oc-
cupation, like Othellos, will be gone; who
win be cast down, disappointed, disguised;
to whom the world will seem q hollow and not
very glittering fraud. Africa offers a career
to those disappointed patriots
We shall be able by that time TO spare the
Pennsylvania Kelley and the Ohio Carey,
Allen and Pendleton; and we could afford to
fit these gentlemen out with first class
paper mill and number of printing presses
out of the surplus no longer required in the
Treasury Department. and thus they will be
able TO confer uDon untold and eager African

The sale of the Grand Opera House at auc-
ton on Friday brings up once more the ques-
ton of the condition of the real estate market.
Those who base their judgment upon the
results Of this forced sale will probably say
that the depression in real estate continues
and shows no sign of recovery. But they will
fail to remember that the Opera House prop
erty is, and was when it was built, specula-
tive venture. The business centres of New
York have been in remarkable degree NOV
able for many decades. Aside from the general
tendency of the dry goods and retail trade up
town, which. is a natural result Of the uptown
movement of residences, there have been nu-
merous and sometimes very promising ten

THE TAMSANY COMMITTEE Tammany
rules with hard and iron hand. Years Of
success have flushed it with ambition, and it
frowns upon characterization. Yet Tammany
itself has experienced too many revolutions to
frown upon the independent democracy
altogether. 1t may attack John Morrissey
and his friends, but can it drive
them out of the partyP We think not. The
democrntic party has depended upon such
leaders in the past and may need them in the
future. The republicans of the Custom House
men who trade with the politicians whom they
are supposed to antagonize-may rejoice in
these troubles, but no sincere democrat can
see anything but disaster in the divisions Of
his party. We learn that the Tammany COM
mitteemen are resolved TO drive out of the
party all who ore supposed to be recaleitrant
members: but they should pause in their rash
and hastY legislation before they expel sue

A TERRIBLE EXPLOSION occurred yester-
day at the Bridesburg Arsenal, in
Philadelphia Our special report ex-
plains its causes and describes the
results and fortunately exonerates the
military authorities from recklessness or mis-
management. The origin of the disaster was
evidently carelessness on the part OF one of
the young men employed in the laboratory.

THE MISSISSIPPI The deluge of rain has
swollen all the tributaries of the great river
TO such a degree as to have already submerged
extensive tracts planted in cotton and corn,
and the apprehension. was that the trouble
would be far worse in few daysr but the
latest reports are more hopeful. We must,
moreover, count together the good and bad
results of the rain. In some parts of the
South it has been of such service that it is
estimated that in consideration of this adj
vantage the country can afford to lose two
hundred thousand bales by the swollen river.
Probably the owners of the cotton to be lost
might not comprehend this equilibrium, and
we have not heard that the people who will
gain by the rains in Georgia think of divid-
ing with those who lose by the river in other
States.
