Pulpit Topics To-Day.

After the late developments in insurance
business DR.. Talmagc ought to rain red hot
shot on the heads of some insurance people
to-day, until they, like some of their VIC
tins, shall suffer the pangs of the second
death even while they live here Neither
grace mercy nor peace should find prom
inent place in his treatment of them, even
though, like some of Mr.. Scarles' hearers,
they should profess sudden conversion.
There are things to be remembered, as Mr.
Hepworth says, and the treatment OF the
insured by insurance companies should not
be forgotten, especially when they and their
business are under consideration. Broad
way gamblers have attracted some atten-
ton within q few months past, and to-day
Mr.. Bell promises to bring good news to
them and to reveal some secrets. perhaps, of
their business and lives. Murder and di-
yorce, too, have attracted not a little atten-
ton lately, and it must surely be interesting
to get a clear and concise view of Christ 5
opinion of those crimes as it will be given
by DIR. Smith. What n grand triumph of
faith il would be if Mr.. Jones should come
to the passionate of one of the vacant Baptist
churches of this city He could then,
with greater ease and better prospect
of success, shoot across the river at his
ancient foe, the Long Island Baptist Associa-
ton. For years he fought that body at q
great disadvantage from the upper end OF
Long Island while its headquarters were in
Brooklyn. To-day he will show what boy
in the hands of Jesus may do. Wisdom and
understanding as gifts of the Holy Ghost
will be dilated upon by DR.. Ever. The
woman at the well will be introduced by
Dr. .Armitagc.

that she had to indorse notes instead of sing

music than tune. Appearing first as

be wretched 'hat," and has ever since

Tur WEAruER.--'Thc storm centre, which was
on Friday evening the Carolina coast,
moved slowly northcastward along the eastern
side of the Allegheny Mountains and passed
over New York yesterday. Approaching this
city from the southwark the storm induced
strong northcasterly winds, which attained
maximum velocity of forty-cight miles per
hour Mt Qttrtcr to nine A. NJ. yes
ter,lay. As tho disturbance advanced the
wind changed to more northcrly points. and the
rain which had been falling heavily turned to
snow and sleet for ID short time. At five o'clock
last evening the storm centre was to the eastward
of New York. in about latitude 10 degrees north
and longitude az degrees west. It's position at
tlottimc indicates that il will move northeastwurd
IN Nova Scotia. The area Of snow and rain that
attended the storm extended from Lake Michi-
gan 10 the Atlantic and as far southwark as
Georgia. The highest pressure continues in Mani
toba and Dakota, where the temperature has
fallen TO zero. In the southwest disturbance
is developing in Mexico and the barometer has
fallen decidedly on the Pacific coast. Rains nave
fallen in Southern Florida. The weather in New
York to-day will be colder and cloudy or partly
cloudy, possibly with light rain or snow IN t'e
morning, followed by clearing weather toward
night.

For How Longs

The HERALD special despatch from the
city of Mexico, via Havana, brings in
formation of the temporary settlement OF
political affairs in that country by the as
sumption of the duties of chief Executive
by General Diaz, pending the final decision
OF the people as to the next Presidency. The
Presidential electors thus far chosen are said
to be in favor Of Diaz by large majority !;
hence the military leader probably only an
ticipates by brief period the result which
will be reached by the popular vote. Indeed,
as possession in Mexico may be said to
be rather more than nine points Of the
law, General Diaz, although now only styl-
ing himself an al interim ruler, may be fairly
regarded as the regularly installed Mexican
President, at least until the next successful
revolution. AS he is gallant and popular
soldier he will probably be able TO hold his
own or what he has made his own; and,
after all, military President with strong
arm is perhaps the best ruler our neighbors
across the Rio Grande can have. The mill
tary reputation Of the new President should
at least insure better observance OF inter-
national obligations on the borders and the
breaking up of the pestilent guerilla bands
which are constantly jeopardizing the peace
of the two countries.
One of the first acts of President Diaz has
been the appointment of Jose Mata as his
Secretary of the Treasury Senior Malta was
Mexican Minister to Washington up to 1868,
and has recently been here as commits
sioner from his government to deliver to the
United States the first instalment of the
award of the Mixed Commission. He is
a gentleman of superior financial ability,
experienced in diplomatic affairs, and OF
courteous and pleasing manners. If the
new President displays as much Judgment
in the selection Of the other members OF his
Cabinet as he has shown in this instance he
will prove that he is as good u statesman as
soldier. Our special despatch states that
the Church party have not had much sue
cess in the Congressional elections, and that
'order reigns in Warsaw

AND Now THERE ARE DISCOVERED some
people SO fi,stitlious as to object to having a
livery stable next door to their residence. For
tunatcly they arc not to have matters all their
own way. Other persons with equine ncighbors
have declared that they rather enjoy the per-
fumes which cmanate from stables. and some one
will doubtless be found whose children gain n
liberal education from association with the wits
who sit around stable doors.

Joe Coburn and Sergeant Thompson.
One of the important elements in the eff
cheney of the law to repress crime is that its
operations should not only be sure, but
swift. Immediate punishment seems to ap-
pail the bad elements of the community,
that are not in the least disturbed
at the contemplation Of the fact
that Justice may be hard on them
next year. Because we believe this
we have no sympathy with the harsh as
saults that have been made on the criminal
authorities over the shoulders of Coburn,
assaults which imply that to be energetic
in the administration of justice denotes ami
mus and is good ground for impugning
the motives of the authorities But Coburn,
be no what he may, is as much entitled
to fair trial as any other man in the
community. and should have it and will I'M
doubtedly get it. All the facts of the case
will then come out, and we shall be able to
learn whether the allegations made against
the conduct of the police have any founda-
ton. But while the case of Coburn is
pressed we should like to know why a little
of the "railroading" process has not been
applied in the case of Sergeant Thompson,
of the police. lie also is charged with
ruffianly assault. We hope that the fact
that Coburn assaulted policemen and
Thompson u private citizen does not consti-
tute n difference in favor of Thompson.
Sauce for the prizc-fghting goose is sauce
for the police gandcr, and we hope it will be
we'll applied to both.

An End or FIlibustcring.

The proceedings in the House of Repre-
sentatives yesterday, after the withdrawal OF
the Senate from the joint convention to con-
slider and determine the objection to the de-
cision of the high commission in the Oregon
case, remove all apprehension OF the defeat
of the object of the Electoral law by fac
tious opposition to the completion of the
count. An effort was made in the House by
the extremists on the democratic side to
adjourn over until Monday morning; but
this was defeated by forty-six majority on
fair test vote The announcement of the
gratifying result was Immediately followed
by n motion for a recess until halfpast nine
Monday morning, and this, to the conster-
nation of the filibustering element, was
ruled out Of order by the Speaker as Of dila-
tory character. The debate then proceeded,
and at the expiration of the two hours
the joint convention again assembled, the
Oregon decision was sustained by the fail
ure of an agreement between the two houses
for it's rejection, and the count of the cleo
toral votes was resumed When Pennsylva-
MIA was reached an objection to the qualif-
houses again separated, and, pending the
consideration of the objection, took recess
until ten o'clock tomorrow morning.
The separation on the Pennsylvania vote
was in conformity with an understanding
with the republicans, and does not indicate
any further undue opposition to the con-
tinuance Of the count, which will be COM
pletod probably on Wednesday next. Many
democrats who were disposed to favor fac
tious delay have become convinced of the
mistake OF such policy but nevertheless
desire to get their whole case fairly on the
record. They now understand that they
could not expect public sympathy if they
should oppose the final action of commits
sion they were almost unanimously in favor
of creating, and thus draw upon the country
the very evils it was designed to prevent. If
the democrats could find justification for
defeating the object of the Electoral bill be-
cause the decision Of the commission is
adverse to their party, then the republicans
would have been justifable in acting SINH
larly should the result have been adverse to
them, and the whole settlement would have
been farcical as we'll as fraudulent. Refiec-
ton has thinned the ranks of the extremists
but if they ever had any hope Of success the
decisions made by Speaker Randall yester-
day must have convinced them of their
error. It is now certain that further
attempts at filibustering, if any should be
made will be promptly voted down, and
that Mr. Randall's rulings will be as sound
in the future as they were yesterday.

estate beyond its strength with assessments,

paralyze speculation. At the same time

been neglected, probably because they Of
fered less chance of illegitimate profits to
officials. If instead of boulevards and ave-
nues that will be unbuilt over for years we
had constructed good docks; made broad
border street along our river fronts for the
transportation of freight and merchandise
and the erection of warehouses secured
rapid transit, and put our business streets
into good condition, we should not have
saved our owners of real estate from great
portion of their troubles. When these
improvements are made, and when
the revival of business comes, the city will

crowded into it will force the constantly
increasing value of property from genera

Our London and Paris Cable Letters.
London is the news brain of Europe
inasmuch as everything that touches
the news nerves in any part of
the Continent is communicated at once
to the nerve centre of England.
Hence if we know the news of Lon
don, we, generally speaking, know the
news of Europe Ample, however, as
the daily reports thence are we have
found that number of facts and
opinions OF interest remain uncabled, and
hence such toothsome morsels as we
lay before our readers to-day are gath
cred by our London correspondents
as labor of love, after their routine
duties are performed. England is in doubt
vet about the future of the Eastern
question, but we think they are
hoping against hope who think that
Russia is not going to war with
Turkey Against this grave difficulty are
set the woes of Wagner and the curious
way Herr Jauner, OF Vienna, captured "Die
Walkiire." While the successful prima
DONNA Patti, is airing herself in Berlin, and
her disconsolate husband is cooling his
heels in n railway car, and the naughty
Nicolini is warbling his way light
hearted to Vienna, cry comes from
the little unfedged singing birds chirping
themselves into harmonic perfection at
Milan. They ask protection from the mu-
steal man. Hero is contrast which
would require a whole volume of moral
philosophy to exhaust it's suggestiveness.
American beef still holds its own, even at
the aristocratic shrines of John Bull 1t
is as much at home in England
as our potato bug has made itself
in Germany. Stories of old London fit
across the wires in the prosaic record Of
changes of house property and the
march of the improving architect
Many one who reads about the
Childs bank lodgers in Temple Bar will turn
to the s'Tale of Two Cities" to know more
about it, There is side view of the
whole history of the Lower Empire of
France in the story of the villa at Twicken-
ham sold for fashionable club the
other day. Literary notes and quaint
bits of gossip come to us in shoals,
and they are so pleasantly put that those
who run may read. Paris, madcap as she
u.s. shakes her jaunty head and says, with
pout, that she can only talk of fashions
this week. Upon such weighty matters we
delicately refrain from comment.
