The Rev. DIR. BACON may be very good
English scholar. but he fell into gross mistake
when he attributed TO Dean SWIFT q quotation
from FIELDING's "Life Of the Late Mr.. Jons-
than Wild the Great" In his speech before the
Advisory Council in Drooglyn, DIR. BACON said,
he desired legislation against the use OF the
word accommodated; and his reasons for
hating It were like Dean 5wIFr's for using
punch, "it was good drink and not spoken
against In the Scriptures" II DIR. BACON were
really familiar with the writings OF the renow ned
Dean OF st. Patriok's, he would have known that
the author Of the "Tale OF Tub" was too sim
cere a churohnan ever To speak dppantiy or
irreyerentiy OF the Bible. 1t was HENRY FIELD
mo who, In his Life OF JoDathan Wild" makes
the Ordinary, or chaplain, OF Newgate say, In re-
ply to an invitation from The condemned burglar
to join him In bottle Of wine, as bis converse
ton was becoming rather dismal and depress-
ing, IF you must drink, let US have a bowl OF
punch-a liquor the rather prefer as II is no
where spoken against In Scripture; besides, It Is
good for the gravel, a complaint with which
l am affected" After having drank the punch
the Ordinary went on with his solemn counsel,
and gave Mr.. WILD the benefit OF learned dis
course from the text "To the Greeks foolish
ness" IL might be worth while for DIR. BACON,
on his return 10 New Haven, to read the satire
OF FIELDING, from which he drew bis illustra-
ton without knowing It, for therein he will nnd,
In the character Of the Newgate Ordinary, the
type Of a preacher much known In Brooklyn.

A writer in the COngregdttOndltst pro-
poses that the Young Mems Christian Associa-
tions throughout the country should unite In
paving the debt OF $4,000 due from the Young
Mems Christian Association OF Washington to
the swindled negroes who were induced to de-
post their little earnings IN the Freedman's
Savings Bank. The correspondent truly says
that this debt, II unpaid, will be loss to the
poor freedmen, and adds; "Thrty-three thou
sard dollars OF those funds was obtained by the
association, upon what security does not ap-
pear, only the fact Is known to the writer that
It Is not paid and Ia In the W." For bis nfor-
nation, and that Of others interested In this
matter we would say that for this loan " $751;
0OO. In April, 1871, a promissory note was given,
payable two years after date, with seven per
cent. interest, secured by a deed on the build
ing and lot known as the Young Mons Christian
Association building. This note Is unpaid, and
an attempt Is making to evade the forfeiture Of
the security on the pretence that there was
some informally about the execution Of the
deed which renders II invalid 1t would be
good thing for the freedmen II the Young Mems
Christian Associations In other cities should
restore to the Freelmans Bank the large sum
OF money obtained under such suspicious cir
cumstances; but II It Is done, there should be
an agreement that the Washington br inch OF
the association shall be suppressed. For years
It has been managed In the interest of the Ring
thieves In the District Of Columbia; many OF
Its most prominent members are men notorious
for their dishonesty, and the mere existence OF
the association under its present style and man
aeement Is reproach TO the Christian religion.
The members Of associations IN other cities
should make restitution II the mouov nlched
from the freedmen, and then let the Washing
ton association be merged in Boss SHEPHERDS
other Ring club.

There are many old stories Of the way In
which some OF the rough revivalist preachers of
the Western States used, at times, to descend
from their pulpits and punch the heads"
OF those obstreporous sinners who dis
turbed the meeting or otherwise mlsbehaved
themselves. Even Brother MOODY himself has
had some experience In this direction, In the
course OF his life. HIS biographers tell that, on
one occasion, when he was preaching in his own
church In Chicago. a rum m raised a disturb
ance, upon which MOODY left his place, laid hold
OF the fellow. and gave him a drubbng which
had great effect upon his manners, II not upon
bis soul On another occasion, as we learn from
his biography, fierce young rapscallion who
had come to his Sunday school, raised a rumpus
In spite OF all efforts to keep him quiet; and so,
at last, Brother MOODY suddenly seized hin,
overpowered him by IN ain strength, carried him
Into a side room, bolted the door, and gave him
such hogoing that the fellow, though finally
converted, could hardly forgive. But there 10
danger for some men In following these prece-
dents. Brother PARKINSON, the old canal cap
tain, who has been carrying on a revival on his
boat over at Weehawken, has found this out.
A man who went to one OF his meetings the
other day, behaved himself In an unsatisfactory
wav, upon which the captain, who Is very pow
erful, grappled with him, dragged him out of
the cabin, and pitched him headlong OF the
boat The man had the captain arrested, and
taken to jail where he spent the nights and
though he should have no further trouble about
the matter, the experience has been disagree
able one. There must be order at revival meet
ngs but revivallsts, instead Of handling dis
turOers too roughly themselves, had better call
upon the police to preserve the peace.

Since the beginning OF our era there
have been many church councils, and the creed
Of Christendom has of;en been formulated and
revised. but never has the article been proposed
that adultery and perjury work no disqualified
tion for the ministry. The Advisory Council
deserves such credit as the pronunciation Of the
new article should re ,eiye. This doctrine, how
ever, must not be regarded applicable TO
Christianity. II is the first article OF faith Of
the new creed Of Beecherism, which Is known
as the gospel OF true inwardness.

No wonder that the IIerzegovinian insur-
gents are unable TO believe In the promises made
TO them by the Sultan, on condition OF having
down their arms. 1t appears that the Turkish
Government has lately surpassed all its previous
promises. and has even gone 30 far as TO announce
that II will rebuild. at It's own cost, all the houses
and churches OF the Christians tnat have been
DESTROYED In the insurrection, ana will furnish
the insurgents with means TO resume their usual
avocations. This would be astounding news, II
credit could be given TO Turkish proclamations
put out under stress OF necessity. Such bound
less iiberalty on the part OF the Sultan, whose
finances are In anything but prosperous condi-
ton, can only be accounted for on the notion
that he does not expect his offer to be accepted.

The first judgment under the new act OF
Parliament regulating public worship in Eng
land was rendered by Lord PENzANCE, Dean OF
the Court OF Arches, on Feb. 3. The case
was In the nature OF a proceeding taken at the
instance Of three parishioners OF st. Peters,
Folkestonc complaining OF certain rtualistio
practices on the part Of their minister, tine Rsv.
Mr.. RIDsDALE. The defendant admitted that
he had infringed the rubrlcs in cert lin respects
such as tue use Of lighted candles on the com
munion table, the mixing of water with wine,
and the use OF wafer bread In the communion,
and forming a peculiar procession, and that
those infringemehts were unlawful. Lord PEN
zANCE in consequence admonishsd him not to
offend IN these respects again, and then went on
to consider tho charges OF having celebrated tn o
holy communion in the vestments known as the
alb and chasube, and also whom but one other
person was present, both Of which practices
Lord PENzANoE decided were contrary to the
law. But the most interesting part Of the

CHANCES OF LIFE.

From some elaborate tables drawn up
by DR.. Farr it would seem, as far as can
be made out, there are certain very criti-
cal periods in our career. A baby, for
instance, has a very shall chance indeed
Of growing up. But, on the other hand,
the period between the tenth and fifteen
years inclusively is that in which the
death average is the smallest. At or
about thirty-fve we must begin to take
care of ourselves. At this period Consti-
tutiOnal changes set in; our hair and
teeth begin to fail us our digestion is
no longer what it used to be; we lose
the vigOr of youth and neglect outdoor
exercise; above all, the cares of life be-
gin to make themselves perceptibly felt.
It is at this time that deaths from suicide
take a marked place in the returns of
mortality, and there is also considerable
reasons to believe that habits of intern
peranCe are apt to suddenly develop
themselves. The picture, however, has
its sunshiny side. It would take, of
course, protested actuary to deduce
from DR.. Farr's tables their exact result
1t appears, however, that if man tides
over his fiftieth year he may mako
tolerable certain Of living to seventy;
while if he reaches his seventy-ffth year,
there is a very strong presumption that
he win either turn his ninetieth birth
day or come very near it. A still more
interesting question is opened by the
series of tables which show the average
mortality in different professions and
pursuits. Gamekeepers are, for obvious
reasons the healthiest class of our whole
population; clergymen and agriculture
labores come next, and ale followed by
5arristers; solicitors and business men
are less fortunate while at the extreme
end Of the scale come unhealthy pur-
suits, usch as printing and file grinding.

between manager and acter as to the
dresses and other properties which each
Is to furnish. The latter is expected to
be possessed Of whole outfit Of modern
garments--ooats, pants, neckties, hats and
shoes. He is also expected to be already
provided with sword, with wigs, and with
tights or Aeshings. Leading actresses,
also, outside Of one, or perhaps two, New
York theatres, are expected to bear the
expense of all modern dresses. In our
principal theatres modern dressing is so
well done that the stage may almost be
said to set the fashion. Miss Fanny
Davenport, with her grand Partisan cos
TUNES, is said TO be ever supplying her
sex with new ideas as to styles, tints and
trimmings; and such careful dresses as
Montague, Thorne, and Arnott, no doubt
oft furnish some hints to the .jenaesse dOree.
Be that as it may, it is no exaggeration
to say that the perfection of tailoring is
to be seen on the stage. It'll very seldom
that the fault of overdressing is to be
noted in male actors, but the same can
hardly be affirmed of the ladies. More
extravaganza in the matter of ladies'
dresses has for year or two past been
seen on the theatrical stage than can be
witnessed anywhere in the United States
outside of Washingto1s The ladies'
dresses at one New York theatre have
been the talk of the town, and could
hardly have been paid for out of the sala-
ries, large as they are, which leading &C.
tresses are known to receive, but have
probably been supplied by the theatre,
contrary to the usual custom.
The foregoing details may serve to show
the Importance of stage-costuming. As
we have said, it is an essential Of acting,
but only a subordinate essential. Itsets
of'a good actor as frame sets off pic
ture, but bad actor only appears worse
only for being well dressed. You might
as well expect man to write a poem
because he is in possession of gold pen,
as Anna Dickinson's gorgeous dresses to
impress the public with an idea that
she is a good actress, or can in time be-
come one by means OF dress alone.-M

THE BAD BLOOD BETWEEN RUSSIA
AND AUsTRIA.-In the present strained
condition of affairs between Russia and
Austria, it is a notable fact that the
Austrian Lieutenant Baron Ertl has been
condemned to ten years imprisonment
for having sold to the Russian military
attache of the embassy at Vienna, Col.
MolostwOf, q number Of plans of for
tresses, and other important documents,
The sum paid to Ertl by Molostwoff was
eight thousand rubles. Ertl had led a
dissolute life, and in order to be able to
disentangle himself from his embarrass-
ments, and to continue his life of dissi-
patton, had acted as a spy for the benefit
of the Russian government. Among the
plans furnished by him to MolostWof
were several Of the eastern fortresses Of
Austria. This occurrence has created
great sesation.

ANNIE DICKENsoN does not seem des-
tined to make success as an actress, If
one can judge from the criticism called
out BY her first appearance in "Anne
Boleyn." One account says: At
points where she could lecture she was
effective. She showed dramatic instinct
some idea Of execution and much will.
In art she was callow. Her presence as
aueen was puny. Her voice YVES often
nasal and thin. Her walk was one sided.
Her attitudes were mostly crouched.
Her emotion was that Of the mind and
not the head. She does not burn, but
she glints."

in Vermont and Maine ought not to
discourage US. But they should
teach us to reflect They should
cause us to see that it may not be,
after all, wise to raise hopes not like
ly to be fulfilled. In American poll
ties, the custom widely prevails to
predict impossible victories; ndany
man who attempts to help his party
by telling il occasionally, a whole
some truth, is incontinently frown-
cd down. There was never, really,
any show of reducing the Republican
majorities Of Vermont and Maineso
considerably as to indicate a general
change Of public sentiment in the
north. Every Democratic vriterand
speaker who SO predicted of those
States, really injured his party by
raising hopes among the masses inn
probable of fulfllment. 1t would
have been good deal wiser and mere
profitable to have said Tet us be
thankful foE all the aid we may ct
from these hopelessly Republican
States; but let US expect nothing
from them Let us bend all our en-
argies to strengthening ourselves in
those States which we have the most
reasonable prospect of carrying; es-
pecially as there are enough of them
to elect our candidate" The Demo
cratic masses are not practical politi-
clans Tens of thousands of themsee
no more difficulty in carrying Maine
or Rhode Island than in carrying
New York or any other Democratic
State. They work from ten to six
teen hours a day, have little time to
study, and depend for their political
information, mainly upon an occas-
ional five minutes glancc>at a paper,
and upon what they hear. So it is
with the masses Of independent yo-
tiers. These men have been injudic-
iously taught to believe that there
would be a general stampede from
the Republican ranks over to our
Reform candidate, Mr.. Tilden. They
see that, far, it is not so; and are dis
couraged Why not tell them, frank
that, although we have a fair show
of carrying Ohio, Indiana and New
Hampshire, our main reliance is up
on n solid South, the three Pacific
States, and the three Democratic
States of the Northeast, Connecticut,
New York and New Jersey; which
witdout Ohio and Indiana, will give us
