large ana intellectual audience was assem-.
bled In Association Hail last evening to listen to
Professor Ogden Doremus' lecture on the "Agree
ment Between the Mosaic and Scientific Accounts
OF the Creation" The lecture Is not new one,
but 10 one OF series that were delivered some
years ago, and which at the time created consid-
cradle public interest. The aim OF the lecture was
TO show that science and religion agreed per.
fectly with each other as to the man
ner OF the creation, and, as conse.
quence that God was the great Creator
of the universe. He argued that the roundness OF
the earth and Its irregularities Of surface demon.
strated tnat it was once nuid and that the same
argument stood good as to the other heavenly
bodies He said that by heat solids were con-
verted into liquids or into cases. that the gaseous
state was the most chaotic, and II the atmosphere
OF the earth was originally gaseous the imponder-
able forces must have been 'latent.n He proved
this py experiments with liquids to show their
OF gravity. He then explained the nature Of
gases, demonstrated their weight by a

varied colors OF red. orange, yelowish green
and blush violet and exHslnsa the way
known rs the chemical anlnities OF the gases, and
gave various experiments showing the results
that ensued from the exposure OF dentoxide OF
nitrogen to the air, the active combination OF
oxygen and hydrogen and chlorine and hydrogen.
He next illustrated the evolution OF mpOnderable
forces when gases unite. as when they combine
into solids and liquids. He told how tho
solid, liquid and gaseous forms depended
upon the temperatures such as rendering
SOLIDS liquid and gaseous by heat and
converting the gases into liquids and solids by
cold HIS experiments to prove this were very
beautiful such as the lique ncation OF Bulphurous

In Trenton. N. j., on Monday night last and
ordered the person In attendance another darby,

enjoy themselves at a game or two OF billiards.
The attendant refused TO comply with

irate and dlsOrderly. In the meantime
Mr.. Katzen bach, who mad been sent for, arrived
on the scene and commenced to expostulate with
the sports on me unreasonablenese OF their de-
mand. They refused 10 be appeased, ana insisted
on their claims under the civil Rights law to be
accommodated. Ultimately they were elected
from the room, not, however, until they threat

They intend TO bring their case before United

CIVIL RIGHTS IN ARKANSAS.

LITTLE ROCK. March IA. 1875
The Civil Rights bill has had little effect in Ar.
kansas. In fact. we have had q stronger bill
on our Stale statutes since February rs, 1873
That bill provides that all steamboats, railroads,
stage coaches or owners or managers Of any pub
lie conveyance shall not make any distinction
between persons applying for transportation, un-
der penalty Of "n0t less than 5000 nor more than
$1,000, or imprisonment lot less than three nor
more than twelve months for each offence" The
same rule is applied to all hotel keepers, restau-
rants, saloons, theatres, public schools and in
mct to all public places. All alders and abettors
are rendered equally liable with principals. Suits
can be broughs In the circuit courts OF the State
and all executive of1cers are made liable to pen
alties for not bringing suit under the act, and. be-
sides the criminal proceedings, the party claiming
to be injured has hts remedy in damages. This
law has been dead letter on the statute books,
no colored man in the State having attempted,
even while the State was uader republican rule,
to take advantage OF 1t. The passage OF the civil
Rights bill by Congress has not made ripple upon
the political surface here. In the capital. where

THE GUARDIAN ANGEL OF EQUAL RIGHTS.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
Allow one OF your readers to express thousand
thanks to the HERALD for the rebuke given to
Father Walker Tor his expressions OF woe, con-
domination and almost anathema against the pub
lie schools and public education. The HERALD Is
the only guardian angel OF equal rights not only
for the American people, out for the world at
large. What would become Of our liberties, or

Roman Catholic Church the ministers

WHAT MASS DID HE 90 TO?

10 THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
In looking over the columns OF your paper this
morning my attention was called to sermon
which was attributed to Father Walker, one Of
the officiating clergymen at st. Lawrence's
church, IN Eighty fourth street. ! felt indignant
that the HERALD, which always adheres so
stIlctly TO the truth, shonld have been 80 basey
deceived as to have published fictitious sermon,
and to have added an editorial which, to say the
least reflects very unJusty upon Father Walker
az an enlightened Christian l was present at the
Sermon delivered by the reverend gentleman and
listened to 1t very astentively and. with hundreds
OF others, can assert that not one word Of the
sermon as published In the HERALD OF to-
day came from the lips OF the preacher, nor
was 1t the tenor Of his discourse. In speaking OF
the collection for the benefit OF the parOchial
schools Father Walker said .'that the education Of
Catholic children IN Catholic schools was some.
thing greatly to be desired" That was the sum
ana substance OF his remarks In connection with
the educational question. Not one word about
the public schools, not one word OF the scathlng
denunciatOn which your reporter ascribes to the
reverend gentleman, the sermon OF the day being
upon theme from the Gospel. SHAH not attempt
any explanation OF this injustice. You will, per.
maps, comprehend the whole matter
Now, Mr. Editor, am sure, not as favor, but
as an act OF justice that you will accord this
mun1cariOn place In your columns, since 1t can
not be your intention TO assist in an unprOvoked
attack upon faithful and worthy pastor.
