campaign Of similar character which we
have in our Anglo-Saxon history namely,
that which began and ended with the
career Of Oliver Cromwell 1t is well
that the SUPERFICIAL Bishop should
summon up the memories of the
Cavalier and the Puritan Grant, foiled in
his various thanking movements for a third
term foiled in st. Domingo, in the Alabama
business, in Cuba and in Mexico, now moves
upon the religious line. He shows by this
very movement that he thinks he can win by
no other He sees that there is no war
spirit that will respond to any cry against
Mexico or Spain. He takes up the banner
which Cromwell laid down centuries ago, and
makes an appeal to that fierce sentiment of
religious apprehension and belief which has
always strong hold on the Anglo-Saxon
heart He appeals to a sentiment which
modern statesmen have always disdained to
invoke, sentiment that has never been
mentioned in connection with politics, ex-
cept by political demagogues who cared
nothing for the means by which power was
gained so they enjoyed power. Nor DO we
underrate the force of this new position.
Once bring religion into our politics and our
people will divide as they never did on
Mason and Dixon's line. The dividing
line will be in every State, in every
town, nay, perhaps, in every home
1t will be with Us as it was in the
days of Cromwell. We shall have fierce
unraaoopipo fanot;oicpo in our yoIitico and
q Protector over US, beginning to ''protect"
us as third term President and ending only
when it pleases his military and religious
followers to dismiss him from power. The
argument which makes General Grant a
necessary President" now will make him so
then be no moro departure from custom to
make him perpetual President or Lord Pro-
tector, as the Puritan Cromwell was called,
than it is now to talk of q third term.
We shall be told, perhaps, that the HERALD
is an alarmist; that we have found another
"HERALD sensation;" that our reading of the
Boston movement is extravagant and un-
founded, and that we do not give credit to
the common sense, the love of freedom of the
American people and all that sort of thing.
Perhaps so. We were told this three years
ago, when we first called attention to the ten
denotes Of the political situation toward
Cesarism. The country in time saw what
was the real tendency to which the HERALD.
referred But even the country would
not have waited for us to sound the
warming if we could then have prophe-
sled that in 1875, on the verge of q
canvass for the Presidency, bishop Of
the Methodist Church would have nominated
General Grant for third term, ''amid loud
cheering, and Methodist convention would
have unanimously adopted" the motion.

Pulpit Topics To-day.

If there is one occupation more silly than
another it is that of hewing out broken
cisterns that can hold no water. And yet
many o man in this city is engaged in sub
stantially that sort of work. To oil such we
commend what Mr.. Macarthur will have to
say on this subject to-day. question that
is often asked by men who are urged to enter
upon a Christian life is, Will it pay? Mr..
Knapp will answer that question, and show
in part what compensation follows Christ's
service, and why men should resolve at once
to enter it and become successful in this life
and in the life to come. If self-interest will
not induce them DIR. Fultons motive, love,
should constrain them to plant their feet
upon the immovable foundation. If the
number of hearts in this city that are full of
spiritual arrows could be held up to public
gaze what sad sight we should behold !
DIR. Armitage will take one such heart and
make it theme for his meditation this
morning. and Mr. Leavell will present per-
feet atonement for acceptance by his hearers.
There are many plain facts about religion,
and Mr. Hepworth knows a few of them,
which he will tell his people to-day; and one
of the plainest and yet most frequently for
gotten, is that God giveth strength according
to our day Who con tell how many weary
ones laid down their heads last night to
sleep, but could mott They will rise this
morning in quest of rest and comfort. A
word may do them good, and Mr.. Saunders
has Just that word for them, and in uttering
it he may be the herald of their redemption.
Few of us know or can conceive of all that
is implied in being sons of God, but Mr..
LLOYD will give rs his conception of this
flial relation, which reaches beyond this
life into the next where, as Mr.. Johns will
show, the recognition Of friends is not only
possible but is actual experience, and where
also. as Mr.. Willis will demonstrate, the love
of God in the salvation Of the world will be
better appreciated and more fully recognized
than it can be here. The gate ajar will be
opened by Mr.. Phelps, and while the earth
is burning up and the preparations for the
general judgment are going forward Mr.
Harris will tell rs how the home Of the
saints will appear DR.. Rogers will have
something good and practicable to say about
Congress and the Church; DR.. Talmage and
I Mr.. Lynn will discuss the Bible and school
/ question, and Mr.. Mccarthy will reply to
Dr. Talmages last Sunday Bible-in-school
talk Mr. Pullman will give us all just what
we need-help for hard times. DIR. Preston
will explain how the eucharist is the foun-
tain Of life and Mr.. Snow will fguratively
gather into one perfect Church all the scat
tered children of God. And then shall tina

We; STANLEY AND THE AAmRIcAN GEOGRAPHIC
CAL SocrEr1. The American Geographical
Society has deferred discussion Of Mr. STAN
ley's explorations in Central Africa until its
chief geographers could accurately estimate
the Importance Of his discoveries On Monday
evening the council and fellows will assem-
BILE in Chickering Hall, where not only Mr..
Stanley's perilous journeyings will receive
pictorial illustration, but the maps Of the
Arabian geographers the cartography of
Ptolemy, Ortelius conception of the globe
and many other authorities bearing upon
this most interesting subject will be exhib-
tied, and then discussed by Chief Justice
Daily, Bayard Taylor and others. 1t is graft
flying to find that the Geographical Society
has not ignored the value of Mr.. Stanleys
explorations. DR.. Petermann has predicted
that Mr.. Stanley will accomplish more in the
brief year before him than has been achieved
IN all the twenty centuries gone by, and
learned societies which turn their attention to
geography can scarcely ignore the labors of a
man of whom this is said by great geog-
rapher.

The Champs Elysees of New York.

Is there more pitiable sight to the average
pedestrian in the Fifth avenue on a frosty
morning, if he venture to expose an open
eve in the clouds Of doubtful dust that en-
velop him, than the number of valuable
horses endangering their limbs in painful
progression, or lying prone upon the cruel
polished stones that now pave the Champs
Elysees, the main and fashionable avenue
that leads to the Central Park2 Various
pavements and poultices have been applied
to this great highway, with the same invaria-
BILE want of success, and ''man's noblest con-
quest" as Button Justly calls the horse, finds
each succeeding experiment pitfall and a
snare unto his feet. In its present condition
it is q positive. danger to the equestrian, while
the owners of carriages have cause to con-
gratulate themselves when they have passed
the Scylla of Murray Hill and the Charybdis
of Madison square without fracturing
horses leg or breaking pole and harness. In
the sticky mud that each rainfall luxuriantly
provides can the Fifth avenue alone be
passed in slushy safety.
Within a few years past the breed both of
carriage horses and Of saddle horses has been
greatly improved the number of beautiful
and fashionable equipages in the city have
been more than quadrupled; notwithstand-
ing the difficulties and dangers of the way
many fine four-in hand teams have been
organized and we hear that new coaching
club" on the plan Of the celebrated London
club Of that name, is springing into exist
ence These establishments are not merely
sources Of pleasure to their owners, they are
ornaments to the city, and add to the appear
ance Of fashion and opulence which should
strike stranger in the most fashionable ave-
nue. of the third metropolis of the world.
There is a remedy for all this. The ex-
pertinent Of macadamizing the Fifth avenue
from Madison square to the gates of the
Central Park has never been tried; but it has
been tried in other capital cities with signal
success, and the experienced President Of
our own Park Commission can point with
pride to tho condition Of its most travelled
roads in the heats Of summer or the detest-
able thaws Of winter. But the Fifth avenue
is the main approach to the Park Why not

The REIGN or HoERoRs by land and sea
which has prevailed for the past week was
6tly supplemented yesterday by the explo-
sion Of case Of dynamite on the dock at
Bremerhaven. Forty persons were killed
and doubtless great many wounded The
really astounding part Of the story is that
the case containing this terrible explosive
was placed there as part Of the baggage
Of passenger. We can imagine nothing
more criminally reckless than such an act,
and if the authorities at Bremen cannot find
law in their code to punish 50 outrageous a
dereliction we shall be sorry to hear it. To
let the offender slip in this case would act
very badly on ocean travel from that port,
as intending passengers would hesitate tC

Yesterday in London and Paris.

Our cable letters from Paris and London
the table which our readers expect to see set
for their delectation this Sabbath morning.
Our London contribution groans under the
solid roast beef, plum pudding and strong
bodied port wine of British finance, while
Paris furnishes its piquant entremsets
its volqiaes "a trois becS), its glorious burgun-
dies, and its beaded champagne of politics,
art, literature and society gossip. Our read
ers, sensible people, demand that the viands
of their diurnal journalistic feast shall be as
fresh as those on their own tables, and we
have no desire that they should wait to
by cable If it costs little more,
that is our business, and need not do more
than whet the HERALD readers appetites.
The first champagne pop from Paris is good
for the republican party Of France, although
not pleasing to MacMahon and the conserva-
tives. The elegant fossils of the old regime
are evidently afraid that the Republic is grad
ually settling down to as much permanence
as is ever accorded to French government.
In the face of all this we learn that mar
riage between Princess Thyra of Denmark
and the Due d'Aumale is contemplated.
Politically it may be important +; but the
Due is an eligible parh for he is, probably,
the richest man in France. The Queen of
Denmark may well be congratulated on
her success, for her royal nursery has taken
most of the first class European prizes.
Won Biilow's opinion of American musical
taste has stirred up the English to indigna-
ton, as it reflects on them, and possibly will
lead to the great pianist striking war note
on his favorite instrument when he reads the
English papers. Let him not, however,
hasten, like Mr.. Grau, to say that this Eng
lish Juror cannot be true because he had not
heard Of it before reading it in our cable
letter When Mr.. Grau got his European mail
he was glad TO admit that what he doubted
about Bouffar breaking her engagement
was only too true. Our London letter shows
that England is going as wild over its Egyp-
tian bargain as it did over the phantom gold
in the South Sea bubble. This time, how
ever. there is q solid foundation for the
hopes Of John Bull, and it will be curious to
see what he makes of the riddle of the
Sphinx. We are glad that Turks are looking
up and sorry that Peruvians are still SO
cloudy, but our readers must make up their
minds on these ponderous subjects for
themselves after reading our London letter
AS on instance of the great vitality which
attaches to men whose brains are Of the first
order, we would point to the note in our
Paris letter to the effect that the aged states
man, M. Thiers, in the midst of all the
hustle over the Senate elections, found time
and taste to take half hours study of
Meissonier's large picture which o citizen Of
New York has purchased

and the protection of their admirable care

What should we see within one year from
the time that our Champs Elys6es are thrown
open as smooth macadamized avenue to
the lungs of the city? A very large increase

cise, perfect safety, and grand deliverance
