Pulpit Topics To-day.

Just now the topic most attractive to the very
pious is the great revival going on in Britain
under Moody and Sankey, on which DR..
Dodge will speak before young men in Asso-
citation Hall this evening And if with this
they will take the advice of DR.. Deems and
go work to-day they may soon have the con-
ISOLATION of knowing that the Son of
Man is come. But all evangestic
work requires faith and courage, as
Mr.. Willis will impress his hearers; but not
that little faith about which Mr.. Lightbourn
will speak. Discomfort being the bane of too
many lives this pastor will also tell his people
how TO become contented. Mr.. Lloyd will
tell his church what is the purpose of and
what lessons may be drawn from the Lcrd' s
Supper and will present to them God ready
TO pardon. Mr.. Hawthorne will solve a COM
pick social problem if he can tell us how to
reclaim the fallen, as he proposes to do this
morning. He may make it very apparent
that this work is part of the Christians mis-
sion, but it is evidently part sadly neglected.
DIR. Porteous will examine popular preju-
dices against Jews and Judaism as well as
explore the mystery Of the ministry of pain.
and other pastors will meet the wants and
wishes of their focks to-day by the discussion
of themes equally simple or sublime.

in pressing their plans and that the Commis-
sioners will have plenty of business 10 occupy
their attention The conclusion seems to lave
been already generally reached that the ele-
waited principle must be adopted and that the
structure must be of iron. The Gardner
plan will no doubt be submitted, and
will be the most elaborate Of the
series, but it is the popular belief that the
simplest, most practicable and least costly
plan of an iron elevated road will be the one
that will find favor with the Commission. As
to routes there can be no question that the
Third avenue direct line from Harlem Bridge
to the City Hall Park or the Battery offers the
best promise of immediate business and will
command the greatest confidence on the part
of capital. The cost of the suspension cable
and of the iron arch plans have been esti-
mated at from three to five hundred thousand
dollars mile; but twelve mile road that
would cost with equipments nine million dol
lars, or three-quarters of a million mile.
would pay profit of from eighteen to twenty
per cent above running expenses on fair
estimate of the present travel on the Third
There can be no question of the remunerative
character of the enterprise, provided the
most promising route is selected, and we have
no doubt of the Commissioners action on
that important point. A simple extension of
Mr.. Vanderbilt's Harlem Railroad to the Bat
terry would afford no such conveniences as the
people of New York require, and would bd
only on imposition on rapid transit. The ex.
tension of the Greenwich street railroad To
the Forty-second street depot the Central
Park and the South ferry is very desirable,
and should receive all the encouragement
that can be given to it. But now that we
have placed our feet on the highroad to real
rapid transit, such as the interests of the
city and the health, comfort, morality and
prosperity of the people demand, we must not
pause or turn back until we have secured
substantial victory.

Mr.. BEEcHEB AND Hrs FRIENDS. The
English Congregational preachers who pub
lished an address congrotulating Mr.. Beecher
on bis acquittal have replied to the criticism
of tie London Times. They explain, through
the Rev. Alexander Raleigh, that they only
rejoice that Mr.. Boecher has shown that he is
innocent Of crime, but that the Christian
sentiment of England will unanimously
lament and condemn some things which he
has acknowledged. II is unfortunate for Mr.
Beechcr that he can only be exonerated from
moral guilt by being accused Of want of moral
courage. Even these well meaning friends in
England have attempted another "ruinous
defence" and
Damn with faint praise, assent with civil leer,
And without sncering teacn the rest TO sheer.
MIR. Beechers friends could do him no better
service than to let him alone and not insist
upon keeping the issue Of the trial continually
before the people.

The SPANISH Wharf.-The official report of
the Alfonsist generals shows that they have
won important victories and that Don Carlos
is in full retreat But for what end are the
Spaniards killing each other? What prin-
ciple is at stake in which the people have any
interest? 1t is a war for monarchy alone, and
the victory of either king would only be
defeat for freedom.

In THE BOARD OF APPoRT1oNMENT yester-
day Tax Commissioner Wheeler submitted q
series OF resolutions adopted by the Board of
Health, presenting the Harlem flats as DIM
gerous public nuisance, hazardous to life and
health, and requesting an appropriation Of
fifty thousand dollars to be used in its imme-
date abatement. The Mayor thereupon Of
fered resolution to appropriate twenty-one
thousand dollars, being the unexpended bal
ances of the appropriations of the Health De-
partment for 1872 and 1873. Comptroller
Green fought against the resolution, and re.
quired delay in order that he might see if the
appropriations exist The Board refused to
allow him postponement beyond Monday.
There is some prospect, therefore, of
prompt, if only partial, abatement of the
deadly nuisance, despite the Inconsistencies
of Alderman Vance's nose and the obtuseness
of Alderman Simonsons brain.

COLONEL GIDERsLEEvE ascrlbes the sue
cess OF the American rifemen quite as much
to discipline as to individual skill The
reason is that severity of discipline causes
every man to have confidence in his COM
panions. He feels himself supported by his
comrades and is inspired to do his best to
contribute to the general result. Colonel
Gilderseeve assured Mr.. Hamilton that the
members Of the team obey him in The minutest
trlHc, and this spirit of loyalty to their cap
tain and their cause no doubt had as much to
do with the victory at Dollymount as the
accuracy of aim There is nothing like dis
cipline-it will win battles or rifle matches,
and, other things being equal, the best DIS
ciplned boat crew is the one which will win
