Pulnit ropics To-Day.

There are indications on every hand that
the fields are already white unto the spirit
ual harvest, and to-day Mr.. Jutten will
issue call for laborers to enter it and reap
the ripened grain. This is the way to seek
and save the lost and to finish the work
which Christ has left Mr.. Greene and
others to do. And this work is not merely
for week or month, but as Mr.. Leavell
intimates, it is life work, which must con-
tinue from generation to generation even
unto the end of the world. This, as Mr..
Saunders believes, is the mission of the Cos
pei to save the lost ere they perish !;
and, as the only means of accomplishing it,
Mr.. Hepworth invites us to enter
into the Christian life through Christ
the only door, and partake of the benefits OF
Gods covenant with u.s. But if we have
not faith in the Gospel it will mot be likely
to be of any benefit to U.s. DR.. Samson will,
therefore, demonstrate its authenticity, in
spiration, collection and preservation, that
our faith may be strengthened and our
plain what true godliness comprises. The
man who gains the world and loses his soul
has made bad exchange. So, at least Mr..
Lloyd believes and will teach. But while
Jesus of Nazareth passeth by Mr.. Phelps
believes that the people ought to follow
Him, and he will extend such an invitation
to-day. Mr.. Mccarthy believes in striking
where the devil is stropgest at the
root; and he proposes TO try his hand this
evening and see what success will result
from his efforts.

So much for the serious side of this sub
ject presented by cooked" accounts. AS for
the argument of the World, that there are
persons who will not be deprived of the
night to hang on by strap-an argument
started in a humorous vein by the S,n-it
may be that there are such people, that there
are two or three hundred or even a thousand
OF such average New Workers as the
World describes, possessed with the insane
impotence that cannot endure even q min
ute's delay. But have the hundred thousand
persons who ride every day on the Third
avenue road no rights but such as may be
put aside to humor these very impatient per-
sons2 But, as we have said hitherto, the
impatient men may be accommodated also;
for with an improved administration cars
that are now two or three blocks apart would
only be separated by half that distance.
Moreover, the capacity of the cars could be
increased. AS it is q car constructed to seat
twenty-five carries seventy; but with the
crowding prevented and the seats differently
disposed it might well carry thirty-fve and
move at higher rate of speed. With this
change only double the number of cars
would be necessary on o line like the Third
avenue, and the company could afford to
carry passengers at three cents each for two
hours in the morning and two at night.
With laws made to secure these points and
with penalties for violation given to Mr..
Bergh's society violations would not be very
numerous. If it shall prove upon the in
quiry ordered by the Aldermen that there
is some authority in the city government to
supervise the operations of the companies it
may yet happen that between the police,
Mr.. Bergh and the Legislature the people of
this city will yet be able to get from place to
place in decent vehicle at proper price.

The Conviction OF RubensteIn.

The trial of Pesach N. Rubenstein, charged
with the murder of Sara Alexander. closed
yesterday, resulting in the conviction of the
accused after deliberation of only one houI
by the jury. There can be no reasonable
doubt that the verdict is a righteous one.
The defence was q fimsy one, while the
network Of circumstances which the prosecu-
ton wove about the prisoner left no escape
from the conclusion that he was guilty OF
murder. Among these circumstances Ru-
benstein's remarkable dream was not the
least important Dreams are not made OF
such stuff that they point with unerring pre-
cision to the disposition of the body after
murder. Rubenstein dreamed entirely too
much to the purpose, especially when his
dangerous dreaming is considered In con-
junction with his presence at the
scene of the murder about the time
the crime was committed. Then there were
the tell-tale boots, which, more than any
thing else, fixed the crime upon the accused.
Upon them were found mud like the soil Of
East New York, piece of shawl correspond
ing in texture to that worn by the murdered
girl and piece of corn husk, suggesting
Rubenstein's presence in the field where she
met her death. Even this was not all, for
there was blood on the boots, and they fitted
the tracks in the corn field where the girl and
her murderer must have trodden. A car
conductor testified that Rubenstein and Miss
Alexander journeyed together on the fatal
day, and another witness swore to seeing
him with the girl in the vicinity of the corn
field Rubenstein's knife, too, was found in
q corn stack near the scene of the murder.
Opposed to this network of circumstantial
evidence, rendered still stronger by the
strength of Rubenstein's motive for the
deed, was weak attempt at proving an alibi.
Had the man been innocent there would
have been no doubt as to his movements Oh
the day of the murder but he would not
even SO much as try to account for his goinga
and comings on that day. 1t is seldom cir
cumstantial evidence is so satisfactory, and
the conviction of this man is triumph Of

Security to Life at the Hippodrome.

Security TO Life at the Hippodromc.
The occupation of the building known as
the Hippodrome by six or eight thousand
people day and evening calls for the utmost
care for the safety of human life while the
services are in progress We are glad
to see that our previous suggestions In
regard TO the insecurity of the building have
been needed, and especially that the dan
gerous doors, which might have prevented
egress in case of panic, have been replaced
by others afording greater security. Our
news article this morning shows that some
other changes and improvements are neces-
sary, and from the alacrity which has already
been shown in acting upon the warn
ings Of danger and providing against
it we cannot doubt that everything
will be done which it is possible
to do to make the building safe in every
emergency. Absolute safety is thing i'm
possible in New York with our loose notions
in regard 10 the construction of public build
ings. Most Of our places Of public resort
are built of infammable material, and suffer-
ing and death would be sure to follow q panic
in almost any Of our churches and theatres.
The great point is TO have the means Of egress
as ample and as open as possible In this
respect we believe the Hippodrome is now
reasonably secure if the doors are not barred
during the services. Nothing must be left
undone by the committee having the building
in charge to render life secure during this
Moody and Sankey revival, and we have faith
that the utmost that is possible will be done
to accomplish this end Especially would
we wish to guard against any unnecessary
alarm. The work in which these evangelists, so
called, are engaged is only too likely to pro-
woke opposition Their meetings attract
multitudes from the theatres and other places
of public amusement, and interfere sadly
with bier hdles and such places of resort. 1t
is but natural that strong interest should
wish this counter attraction removed, and
endeavor to exaggerate any suggestion of
danger to the detriment of Moody and San
keys work. With any such movement we
have no sympathy. All we ask is the ut
most security 10 life and limb within the
limits Of the vast building where the meet

Our London Cable Letter.

1t must have been pretty heavy fog which
visited London on Friday, or our London
correspondent would never have deemed it
necessary to write about it, for the average
visitor there finds it pretty hard to say when
the British metropolis is without one. Hence,
while admitting that the obscurity was
very great on Friday, we warn our readers
to take with reservation the statement that
there was q food of bright sunshine in
London yesterday. This will be the more
evident when we say that the oldest
inhabitant of Cockneydom can only
distinguish the orb of day from the gilt ball
on st. Paul's Cathedral by the latter having
a cross on top. Certain it is that Lord
Byron's CHASTITY poem on darkness had its
origin in a London fog, as the opening line
will attest that it twas not all dream"
We are moved in reading this account of the
fog to congratulate Her Majesty Queen Vic
toria that Parliament had been opened three
days before the fog came. Yet what mar
row escape Only think of the police
stopping the royal cavalcade in mistake
for Kenealy's ragged Magma Chartists,
clubbing the heads off the royal funkies,
banging the heralds with their trumpets
and then escorting the Tichborne cham
pion and his followers to the throne
in the House of Lords. OF course when
Kenealy. imagining he had effected blood
less revolution by miraculous interposition
of Providence, commenced his speech as
Stunning the royal crown, the peers would
find out the mistake. At the words, az,
King Kenealy the First, as the initial act of
my reign, hereby strike the letters off Sir
Roger Charles Tichborne, whom create
Lord Chancellor" free fight would begin
between the newly created knights of White
chapel, Seven Dials and Radcliffe Highway,
backed by their retainers and the lords
spiritual and temporal, from which the lat
ter would undoubtedly emerge with more
black eyes and bloody noses than were ever
in the peerage since the days of William the
Conqueror. We cannot trust our feelings to
carry the picture further, but 1t all and more
may happen some foggy day.
The English, it may be assumed, are
happy in their foreign policy. and Disraeli's
brilliant picture OF chain OF fortresses from
London to Bombay is one likely to catch the
public eye and coax the millions sterling
from the popular pocket with joy seldom
known to England in paying away the
golden effigy Of their sovereign The
regret for Reverdy johnson in England
we can readily appreciate. for his
genial presence was widely known
there. Minister Schenck appears to
have attracted strong party in England to
belief in his innocence of all wrong in the
Little Emma swindle. We can only hope
that he may achieve the difficult task of
showing a clean hand after his connection
with that wretched business, and not, as his
enemies would assert, full hand, !" with
sarcastic allusion to Mr.. Schenck's favorite
game at cards.
