Pulpit Topics To-day.

The approach Of Advent has set very
many of our city pastors ut work preparing
lectures out of the ordinary run Of topics for
Sabbath evening discussion. It will be
seen in our religious columns that DIR.
Preston is to give us the result Of careful
thought on the Protestant Reformation and
its results; that Dr. Rylance will present
his views about Communism that DIR.
Smith will show us the relation of the
prophetic history of the world to the Sec
ond Advent. and that DR.. Mckim will re-
view the biblical proofs Of the Judgment
and its conditions. The second coming of
Christ in its relation to the Millenarian the
ory will be discussed by Mr.. Kennedy, and in
its social regenerating aspects by Mr. New
ton, and in its relation to the Judgment by
DIR. Rowland, who will distinguish between
the true and the false millennium. DR.. Cha
PIN will view Christ in the light Of divine
manifestation; DR.. Curran will explain the
dogma of the Immaculate Conception, and
Mr.. Moment will draw lessons from the
wreck of the Pommerania. Dr. Talmage
will open the doors of the club houses of
New York and Brooklyn jus. little and let
his audience peep in; but, per contra, Mr..
Mickle will illustrate by panoramic views
that there are narrow places in the broad
way. Solomon's wisdom will be questioned
by Mr.. Richmond the life Of Elijah will
furnish lessons to Mr.. Hull; the blessedness
of believing will be made apparent by 1Ir.
Blanchard, and worldly ambition will be
contrasted with Christian faith by Mr..
Chambers. DR.. Gallaudet will review the
work Of his church among deaf mutes; DR..
King will try to lift the stones that seal the
tombs Of sinners; Mr. Hatfield will discuss
annihilationisIh, soul sleep and immor-
tality, and Mr. Corbit will anayze eternity
and tell US what it is. The women Of the
Bible will not be forgotten to-day for Ruth,
Deborah, Mary Magdalen, Dorcas and other
women will be considered by Messrs. Mer-
ritt, Martyr, Tying, Jr., and Affieck.
Mans hour will come to Mr.. Burch;
a noble discomfort will be indorsed by Mr..
Davis; the principal thing and happy
hope will be pointed out by Mr.. Hepworth,
and the source Of Christian success by Mr..
Rowell Christ's third word on the cross
will be discussed by DR.. Deems the him

column will be one more body of British
troops sacrificed to that blind and foolish
contempt for an enemy which is a common
element in the first stages of many wars.
Our Western plains are covered with the
bones of men whose lives have expiated
that sort of folly and in the wide limits
through which the British standard has
been borne by British soldiers there is not
a region but has some scene made memoir
able by the splendid valor with which the
men have faced the death brought upon
them by the incredible imbecility of their
commanders Should that column perish,
however, the invasion will not necessarily
be failure, since it is but one of three
columns sent on the same errand. But
if, distressed in the mountains for want
of supplies, and, cut off from all assistance,
it is worn away by enemies from whom it
cannot force battle, it's loss will close the
year painfully enough Tor the people in
England who want "a spirited foreign
policy"

Trade with Mexico.

In another column will be found report
of the address Of Seiior Zamacona, the
Mexican Minister at Washington, delivered
at Baltimore yesterday before the Board OF
Trade of that city. Commerce, not diplo-
macy, is the subject handled in the adj
dress, the Minister doubtless believing
firmly that the labors Of the diploma
lists will be made very easy if the
two peoples can be made thoroughly
we'll acquainted with one another
through intimate commercial relations.
Our people are apt to take very kindly to
diplomatic fances Of that sort, and our
merchants will be glad to know that any
one whose voice is likely to be respected in
Mexico is authorized to advocate the ex-
tended development Of its trade with this
country. Perhaps there are fewer practical
hints than might have been expected in an
address Of this nature in regard to coun-
try Of which the mass Of our people know
too little; but the expedition organized to
go to Mexico in January on q voyage OF
commercial exploration is, perhaps, relied
upon by the Minister to fill up all deficien-
cies Of that kind upon its return.

1t appears, however, that the war
rants were not executed and that
the imperilled directors are still IN
the enjoyment of their liberty. This happy
termination Of the affair is due, it is al
legged to the abatement Of the complainant's IS
fury by satisfactory settlement of his
claim But, then, is not the precedent
fraught with considerable danger to the di-
rectors of suspended savings bank? 1t
seems to coacede the justice Of the COM
plant on which the warrants were issued
as we'll rs the sufficiency Of the remedy
sought by the sharp depositor; but will not
other and larger depositors be tempted to
resort to similar. summary proceedings, in
the hope that they shall be equally tortu-
nate in extorting settlement OF their
claims from the fears Of the directors!

The Art Awards Mt Paris.

There is much food for reflection in the
and sculpture made by the art jury at the
late Exposition to the painters of different
nations who exhibited there. France. with
1,421 exhibits, has 12S awards, including
medals OF honor of the first. second and
third classes; honorable mentions, and di-
plomas to the memory of deceased artists
England, with $40 exhibits, has 20 awards

the list of fourteen countries, ahead Of only
Denmark and Greece, and in proportion Of

ought to be ashamed of ourselves to think
that little Portugal, with only ~ exhibits,
carried off as many awards as we did.
Even our sister Republic, Switzerland, is
way ahead of us, and Russia, with but q
lew more pictures and pieces Of sculpture,
has taken more than twice as many medals
as we have. There is no good in con-
cealing the fact, though the effort
has been made to do. so, that we
have little cause to be proud of our late
art display at Paris The blame Of this
must not be laid entirely on our artists and
their productions. a large share of it
should be borne by the Art Committee in
this city, who had charge Of the selection

Lieutenant schwatka's search.

The party of Arctic explorers on board
the Eothen, under the command Of Lieuten-
ant Schwatka, has gone into winter quarters
at Depot Island, in the northern end Of
Hudson's Bay. From brief letter of the
commander to Chief Justice Daily it ap-
pears that his plans regarding the main
object of the expedition-the recovery OF
the remains and records of Sir John
Franklin not been fully de-
cided. Until Lieutenant Schwatka learns
the exact place of the deposit, of which
the Nachillas informed Captain Barry he
cannot, of course, say what course he shall
take. From the two possible routes the
Lieutenant refers to it would seem that he
expects to make the long sought discovery
in King Williams Lind or Doo.hia-that
is, in about the SEVENTEEN parallel of
latitude. In the meantime Lieutenant
Schwatka will find plenty of work surveying
the coast line from Cape Fullerton to Ches-
terfield In ct, and whether he succeeds or
fails in his chief object we may be certain
that geographical knowledge will be en-
riched by his journey.

think the pastime Of "Ned" Strong

fighting that they will not be likely to
expose themselves TO the Sheriff's missiles,
and the "prominent citizens" might be ami
hilated before one party or the other gained
q decisive victory. 1t may perhaps occur
to Governor McCrary that it is disgraceful

Whom Does Mr.. Taylor Represent


The readers Of the HERALD will remember
our acknowledgment of the receipt by one
Of our staff OF Mr.. David Taylor's check,
nominally in payment for services ren.
dered. but really as compensation for some
notices he expected to see of the well
known violinist, Ole Bull, in whose inter-
est he protessed to write. Promptly upon
our publication Of the case. however Mr..
j. Jay Watson wrote us, saying that Mr..
Bull would countenance no such acts, and
that Mr.. Taylor did not represent the vio-
linist, but was an agent of the Redpath
Lyceum Bureau. But now we are in re-
ceipt of the following letter.
BosToS, Nov. 20. 1873
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALp:-
In the editorial columns OF the HERALD OF the 2sth
inst. there appeared article headed "A Fair Offer
10 the Ablest Manager" In he course Of that ar
ticle a certain Mr.. David Taylor il described as
"business agent of the Kcdpath Lyceum Bureau"
and the i'm preston is thereby conveyed that we are
in some way responsible for Mr. Taylor action in
the matter under consideration.
Az such Interpretation Is exactly the reverse of
the fact We shall feel obliged by your permitting
to make known through the HrIALp that Mr.. Ia. dor
las never been and is not in any agent OF
the Rcdpah Iyceum Bureau, ami that his action in
the matter of which your article treats neither
authorized instigated by us nor had any cog
nizance Of II until the publication OF the notice that
appeared in the HERALD on Tuesday.
We are agents for MIR. ole Bull in his present con-
tour and in that capacity sold to Mr. Taylor the
concert which took place at the Brooklyn Academy OF
Music two weeks ago.
Our relations with Mr. Taylor. far regards
Mr.. Ole Bull. and in every other manner whatever
ceased after that entertainment. We are aware that
Mr.. Taylor has engaged Mr.. Ole Bull for concert to
take place in New York next month

Managers Redpath lyccum Bureau
The question Of whom Mr. Taylor repre-
sents becomes. therefore, rs great puzzle
rs the whereabouts Of the Stewart remains.
Mr.. Watson denies that he represents ole
Bull; the Redpath Bureau assert that he is
not their man SO whose mouthpiccc and
disbursng agent is he? In politics there
is recognized position called represent
ativc at large :" but the principal duty of the
holder of this title is to get money, not to
give it away without first obtaining it from
some one else. Is it possible that Mr.. Tay-
lor is sort of representative at large in the
world Of art, and is spending his own
money out Of pure loyalty to the cause Of
refining amusements, II not, perhaps he
can tell whose representative he is, for tho
public cannot endure that the source Of
such undeserved generosity should be en-
shrouded in mystery.

'he "stnr'' and the "stocIS.r -

That distinguished actor, Mr.. Edwin
Booth, has, like other great men, some in
discreet friends who are not content with
simple panegyric and gush when they write
about him, but launch out into fiery exhor-
tation and denunciation if pen is pointed
at single blenish in their favorite. We
deprecate this because it often leads the
self-electcd champion from the dignity Of
the chevalier into the swagger of the bravo.
Happily in the present instance we are not
called on to discuss any fine matters of taste
in Mr. Booths acting but simple fact
in his management 1t has long been
observed that the companies supporting Mr.
Booth have been composed for the most part
of poor ''sticks." Exceptions are appealed
to in the past when such and such a one
supported our favorite tragedian at his own
theatre in New York. We well remember
these things and recall distinctly our
pleasure at his having broken through
what seemed his bad rule. But it
was only for while. Ever since
when lie played Hamlet he has
had not one poor ghost but whole COM
pany Of them. 1t is not to the point to say
that the bad actors seen during Mr.. Booths
present engagement were not employed by
him, nor that he makes them seem worse
than they really are. Those who want to
see the full force OF the criticism must
catch Mr.. Booth when he plays at Detroit,
say, or Milwaukee, with his own travelling
company. Then, indeed. the bad actors
whom we see habitually denounced in the
New York press would seem histrionic
giants by the side Of the scarecrows whom
he takes son the road" We do not be-
lieve for a moment that Mr.. Booth fears or
need fear diminution of his renown from
showing his splendid talents beside other
actors of merit in their respective lines.
We do not believe that it would be very
hard to find such actors How, then, is it
to be explained that Mr.. Booth is to be
found in such queer companies? We
are driven back upon two reasons.
Either Mr.. Booth believes that the ex-
hibition Of his transcendent abilities
is enough for any audience, or else his busi-
ness manager has convinced him that
good company would not bring any more
money to the theatres along the route than
poor one. When artistic egotism and
bread and butter lead to the same conclu-
sion art pure and simple has not much
chance, except SO far as the 'sstar" repre-
sents it. But no one shall take away from
US the privilege Of regretting that any cause
should lead to such result. With Mr.
Oliver Doud Byron or the wondrous Miss
Wilhelmina Skeggs in view we would not SO
complain. The worse they are supported
the more the fun. But with men Of Mr..
Booths stage rank, or approaching it even,
this course, pursued By many Of them, is
''the sure way to destroy the best effects Of
their best acting as we have seen them
destroyed. What use then, for Mr.. Booths
admirers at all hazards to make far
fetched comparisons with painter like
Meissonier hiring somebody to jog his
elbow at critical moments in the use of the
brush? When did Messonier paint in one
exquisite figure and let botches daub in the
rest? When did he paint spot boilers?"

TnE WEATHER.-Ihere has been very little
