A calm, clear day, marked by genial
summer warmth that distilled delicious
fragrance from the blossoms and verdure of
spring vegetation and filled the atmosphere
with that delightful odor of opening flowers
which poets and lovers of nature love to de-
scribe, attracted thousands Of worshippers
to the numerous churches of New York and
filed aisle and nave with attentive listeners
to the grand lessons of tho Gospel. At
Masonic Hall Professor Chadwick spoke of
the functions of prayer and pointed out
some of the many instances in which God
has listened to the appeals of His servants
for mercy and help. Mr. Hepworth preached
on the fruits of the redemption and the
beauty Of religion as moral motor. At st.
Patrick's Cathedral Father Kane showed
how invaluable are the powers Of prayer as a
means of attaining grace and mercy, and at
ST. Stephens church the same subject was
eloquently treated by Father Costigan. The
Rev. Morgan Dix preached to the congrega-
ton of Trinity church on the immutability
of moral laws, and showed how mans
salvation will mainly depend on himself
short, but eloquent sermon, by assistant
pastor Halliday, on the necessity of leading
Christian life, was the principal feature of
the services at Plymouth church, and largo
congregation at the Brooklyn Academy was
ministercd to by Mr.. Bell, who preached
characteristic sermon on the merciful acts of
Christs earthly career. At the Church of
the Messiah DIR. Alger advocated liberal
Christianity ms preferable TO orthodoxy and
Catholicism, inasmuch rs it furnishes "a
profound spiritual luxury" by destroying
the trammels of form. The Rev. Newland
Maynard preached at St Pauls church, Will
iamsburg, to military congregation COM
posed Of The members Of the Forty-seventh
regiment His remarks were chiefly directed
against merely emotional religion. AT the
other churches the sermons were equally
eloquent and impressive, all appealing to
the better nature of man and encouraging
him to remain faithful to the great princi-
Piles of religion which serve to unite him to
his Creator.

A VIOLENT STORM Of rain and hail pre-
vailed yesterday through Eastern Penn
vylvania and Northern New Jersey, which is
reported as having been terribly destructive
to fruit trees and growing grain. Reports from
Lancaster in the former State, and Norris
sown in the latter, of the passage of a meteor,
show the direction of its track to have been
northeasterly, in accordance with the general
law governing the movement of these storms.
The velocity of the progress of the storm was
nearly fifty miles per hour, and its principal
feature was the size of the hail precipitated.
This is reported to be from one and half
inches in diameter to the size Of hens egg.
We called attention in yesterdays HEnALD
10 the approach of stormy weather, and this
visitor is one of the numerous storms that
are now whirling over the country, having
been generated by the peculiar atmospheric
souditions in the West and South.

TRAVELLING IN TEXAS is attended with
considerable risk, judging from the account
which our correspondent gives of the capture
of the United States mail coach by highway
men on the 9th inst. 1t appears that the
coach had ten passengers besides the driver,
eight men and two ladies' The highwaymen
numbered only three, two on horseback and
one on foot. With this force of nine to
three one would suppose that the passen-
gers might have captured the thievesi
but the reverse was the case.
The gentlemen of the road" quietly halted
the coach, and, with presented pistols, made
the passengers give up all their money and
valuables, and then cut open and robbed
the mail bags The only passenger who
escaped being plundered was young lady,
who defed the robbers, and was for her
pluck allowed to 60 without molestation.
The coach carried a regular armory Of
weapons, but no one was bold enough to use
one Of them. Truly the woman was the
only 'man" of the party, and as for the
thieves, "L'duddc &c, Vdudace, tosyours

Couxr ANDBAssY is evidently well pleased
with his project of reform for Turkey and
sanguine of its success. Like all inventors
he is SO gratifed with the promising appear
ance of his plan that he does not see its
almost insuperable difficulties. The Porte,
the imperial Powers and the rayahs
may like the glittering look of the
project in the Counts handwriting, but the
length of the gap between it and fulflment
is SO great that we cannot altogether share
his enthusiastic assurance of the continued
peace of Europe. Probably it is from view
ing the project in this light, as well as the
dislike of playing second fiddle in the
Eastern question, that holds back England's
assent to the project.

The CENTENNIAL EXHIBITION continues to
furnish material for criticism on its general
management. Our correspondent complains
that the catalogues which are thrust in your
face at every corner of the grounds are so
incomplete as to be wholly useless, and also
points out many defects in the arrange
ment as to admissions which should be at
pnce remedied 1t is in the hands Of the
managers to make tho Exhibition great
success or humiliating failure, and we
sincerely hope that we will not be forced to
record the latter condition by reason of any
want of intelligence displayed by the Conf
missioners.

The HOME FOR AGED HEBREWS was appropri-
ately inaugurated yesterday by grand recep-
ton at the new Home, at the corner OF Eighty
seventh street and avenue A. The practi-
cal charity Of our Hebrew fellow citizens is
most creditably illustrated by this useful
institution, wherein the sick and aged men,
bers Of their religious persuasion will receive
all the care and attention their infirmities
require. An example is shown to the other
churches and congregations of New York
which may be prohtably followed, for the
poor and the sick and the aged have claims
upon our charity which we are bound by
every humane feeling to accord them.

The LONDON ACADEMY, now open, makes .
fine display of pictures, the principal works
being fully described in an interesting letter
published in to-day's HERALD. Several
American painters contribute to this grand
exh bition and hold high rank among their
fellow artists for the beauty OF their works.
Such exhibitions give great impetus to art
by creating an opportunity for the display
of the best examples Of the earlier and
modern schools.

despatch from London confirms as in the
belief that we shall have crews from the Dub
lin University both at Saratoga and Phila-
delphia, and, after all the trouble taken in
the negotiations, it is gratifying that the gal

English universities did not. Some of the
facts connected with the failure in the latter
case will be found in our London letter.

The TERRIBLE MINING CArAsTRoPHH re-
ported from Richmond, Va, the details Of
which are printed in to-day's HERALD, fur
nishes another example to mine owners of
the disasters that inevitably follow the
neglect Of proper ventilation in coal work
ings. Fortunately there were only eleven
men employed in the pit at the time of the
explosion. otherwise the loss Of life would
have been fearful As it is there
are eight victims, with q probability
of two others being added to the
number. The accumulation of the gas
known as fire damp" which oozes from
the coal seams into the workings, has been
the direct cause of the explosion, but the
penurious economy of the mine proprietors
in failing to provide for the proper ventila-
ton Of the mine must be regarded as the
chief one. We hope that the families of the
dead miners will succeed in compelling
these avaricious owners to pay dearly for
the horrible sacrifice Of life which has re-
suited from their gross neglect of the COM
mon precautions necessary in coal mining

WASHINGTON, July 23.- Mr.. Lama,
has prepared as speech on the genera!
political situation which he hopes to
have ready for delivery in tho House
next Tuesday afternoon. He has
devoted great deal of time and study
to the history of the present admins
tration, and in his speech he intends
to review its course its relations to the
South and to show as clearly as he can
what he deems to be the paramount
issues of the day. He thinks he will
be able to show that the present at "
mipistration has not performed, in i;s
long life, a single act of real reform
and that its constantly growing tenden-
cies have been in the interests of con.
tralization and an utter disregard OF
laws for the government OF public
officials, and corruption which is so
widespread and deeply centered that
it has made the question of reform al
most the sole issue of the hour.

EVERY YOUNG MAN should procure a
copy of the medical work entitled The
Science of Life. or Self Preservation"
published by the famous Peabody Insti-
tute," Boston. This book will teach the
young how to avoid dangerous diseases,
and from it the middle-aged and those
more advanced in life may attain to
restoration of a prostrated system to ac-
tive health. 1t is the result of deep
study and most extensive medical prac-
tice, and may be relied upon. The ex-
tremely valuable and interesting book
entitled "Sexual Physiology Of woman
and Her diseases" is also published by
the Institute. Also, Diseases OF the
Nerves and Nervous Malidies," is anoth-
er work published by the Institute, an
exhaustive treatise on these subjects. BY
referring to the advertisement in anoth-

or of these important works has recent

One Moro Unfortunate.

Almost every day the papers chronicle
the suicide OF some unfortunate whose
mind has been enfeebled by dyspepsia,
over whose earthly horizon a heavy
gloom has gathered from the untold and
untellahle agonies of this cruel COM
plant. Dyspepsia is one of the most
depressing diseases affecting humanity.
1t is cosmopolitan in its nature-no coun-
try is exempt from Its visitations, no fami-
ly free from its attacks. There is q balm
in Gilead; it comes in the shape of the
Peruvian Syrup. For years it has been
scattering its blessings abroad. There is,
probably, no disease which experience
has go amply proved to be remendiable by
the Peruvian Syrup as Dyspepsia. The
most invetcrate forms CT this disease
have been completely cured by this medi-
cine, as ample testimony of many of our
frst citizens prove.
