Pulpit Topics To-Day.

While many good people understand how
to blow their own trumpets very few know
how to let their light shine. Mr.. Mann will
let some of them into this secret to-day.
That every man needs Saviour is truth
that DR.. Tying, Jr., will emphasize, and that
Gods Word is a lamp unto the feet Mr.. Hep
worth will demonstrate. The boldness of
Jesus Christ will be held up by Mr.. Cham
bers for emulation, and His truth and faith
fulness will be exhibited by Mr.. Davis. The
Christian will receive encouragement from
Mr.. Hull until his soul shall be satisfied,
and he with DIR. Crook, be led into earnest
service for Christ; and in this service sin
shall be destroyed and the Christ likeness
be developed. The process will be detailed
by Mr.. Martyr. Gods marvellous love will
find fitting exponent in Mr.. Colcord and
Mr.. Burch will try to get his people to take
sides either for or against Christ. The
abstract doctrines will receive consideration
from o few Of the pastors. DIR. Rogers and
Mr.. Steele will discuss questions connected
with heaven--the former asserting that sin
cannot exist there, and the latter that we
shall know each other there. Mr.. Mccarthy
will also discuss future recognition and the
purgatorial process of publication for
heaven. The nature and results Of religious

suleiman Pacha.

If Suleiman Pacha has gone into the Bos-
phorus in bag in the old-fashionsd way
it is an evidence that in the general Otto
man decadence the Moslem has preserved
in full vigor that capacity to inflict sum-
mary Justice which was ever one Of the strk-
ing and even excellent features Of the gov
ernment of the sultans People find it diff
fcult to reconcile with their conceptions of
Justice the execution in any circumstances
of bold soldier by those in whose cause he
has fought all his lifetime and for whose de-
fence he has waded in blood. But it is a
logical practice, in which absolute govern
ments agree with all others, that no amount
of good and honest fighting condones the
attempt to turn the sword against the cause
in which that fighting was done, and that
the wilfulness which makes great service
practically valueless, throws it away, is to
be punished precisely as in the case of those
who have never rendered any such service.
It is reported that Suleiman was compro-
missed in plot to dethrone the Sultan,
which is probable, and justifies his punish
ment, of course from the Sultans standpoint.
But if it were otherwise, and if Suleiman
was punished in pursuance Of verdict on
his conduct in Bulgaria, not word can be
said in his favor. He was immediately re-
sponsible for the actual collapse of the
Turkish resistance in that campaign. His
waste Of an army at Shipka and his insub-
ordination, which >crippled Mehemet Ali's
operations against the army of the Gar
ewitch on the LON, destroyed the only
chance the Ottomans had to make peace with
the Russians north of the Balkans. That
misconduct was enough to forfeit the heads
of fifty generals.

A Timely Exam ule.

Deputy Collector Phelps has acted with
commendable firmness in the investigation he
is prosecuting into the alleged overcrowding
of the Staten Island ferryboat Blackbird.
The company owning the boat desired post
ponement of the case in consequence of the
absence of Mr.. Starin, who is ut Washing
ton. In these inquiries postponements are
usually the convenient hating places on
the road to final hushing up of the mat
ter or whitewashing of the parties impli-
Gated. Mr.. Phelps seems to be aware of
this routine, and he refused to- grant
the delay requested except on condition
that the Blackbird should be withdrawn
from the line and not used as a ferry
boat until the final decision is
reached as to whether the papers shall
be sent to the United States District Attor-
ney. The ferry company was compelled to
accedc to this stipulation hence it would
have no object in further postponing the
examination if it desired to do so. The law
in relation to the overcrowding of steam
boats has not been properly enforced in
New York, and now that the season of ex-
cursions is near at hand it is we'll that
attention should be drawn to it. If tho
authorities intrustcd with the enforce
ment of this necessary and important law
cannot perform their duties faithfully and
efficiently they should be removed and
their places filled by more capable and
more diligent men.

Another Quintuple Herald.

That the spring business for 1873 is
rapidly increasing is shown by the con-
tinued pressure on the advertising columns
of the HERALD. An old merchant when
asked for the secret of his great success in
life replied, advertising. If you want to
get on in business, advertise" This motto
is now recognized to be the most important
in the mercantile calendar, and when busi-
ness prospects brighten advertising in
creases accordingly. To-day we again pub
lish quintuple HERALD in order to give
our readers all Of the news of the day
and at the same time accommodate
the demands of our advertisers. AS on
Sunday last, the HERALD to-day consists
Of three separate sheets containing twenty
pages, or one hundred and twenty col
umns Of close type The advertisements oc-
cupy sixty-fve columns, and are three thou
sand one hundred and thirty in number,
representing every class of society and
every branch of industry and mercantile
enterprise. In order that the reader may
gain clear idea Of the amount Of reading
matter contained in quintuple HERALD it
is only necessary to say that each column
of type represents on an average two pages
of any of our popular monthly magazines,
or equal to two hundred and forty pages.
Consequently the reader Of the HERALD
to-day gets for q few cents more reading
than can be found in any magazine pub
lished in Europe or America. Besides
spreading before it's readers the wants and
wishes of thousands of advertisers the
HERALD furnishes, by cable and domestic
telegraph, every important event that hap
pened yesterday all over the world. Such
is the modern newspaper-an epitome Of
the time and an index Of the prosperity
and progress of the nation.

May I'm March.

What are the poets of the seasons to do !!
The dusty old fellows have been holding a
caucus on the library shelves, and declare
that things are knocked endwise. This is
the time when winter should be malinger-
ing in the lap of spring, when winds should
"howl along the forest bare" when March
should be playing roaring lion instead OF
frisking kid. Milton is mad, Thomson Is
thunderous, Gray has the blues and Shake

man who peddles chest protectors is selling

Welcome the coming oi tho onged for-March.
"Come, gentle spring. said Thomson, in
voice like one of his ''rufian blasts. "
''How are you to ask it to come when it's

blazing, sweltering, binding, torrid and
roasting were heard sizzing from beneath
his quill. The gentle Shakespeare said
"a winters Tale no more will do. We
must be summary (your pardon for the pun,
I pray) Now let me write of squashes ripe,
nor hold palaver about daffodils that come be-
fore the swallow dares and take the winds Of

did Broadway strut in linen suits. but yes

growled in chorus that youngsters like
Longfellow and Bryant would have a
chance to write poems with rhymes for
genial Februarys and green Decembers.

publican's prayer will be offered by DR..
Armitage, and the great conflict will be
begun by Mr.. Moment. Elder Cannon has
set fair days work before him to answer
Mr.. MacArthur's sermons on the eternity OF
punishment, the personality of the devil
and the Immortality of the soul. The elder,
of course, takes the negative on these points
He ought to know before he enters the lists
that MIR. Macarthur is one of the ripest Greek
scholars in the city, and always breaches by
the book. Mr.. Hatfield, in dealing with
the unpardonable sin, must naturally touch
upon punishment and it's duration. Ifany
form OF sin is unpardonable of course some
form of punishment for that sin must be
eternal. But Mr. Rowell will balance the
scales, and Mr.. King will show that no man
is common or unclean. The love and devo-
tion of woman will be praised by Mr..
Searles, and ritualism will be riddled by
Mr.. Kramer.

improvement is completed and shipping
docks and piers will be fringed with
shipping and busy with commerce. The
improvement of the docks is therefore next
in order as great public necessity after
rapid transit. At present all is outlay on
the work and nothing is accomplished. We
hear of bulkhead wall creeping on a few
feet every six months or so, when capable
management would give us such wall,
built on the general principle of the present
departments own plans, at the rate of two
to three miles year and at cost of less
than two million dollars mile, instead of,
as now, from four to five millions. With a
new dock system of contract work after
public biddings the entire bulkhead line
on both river fronts, in accordance with the
Mcclellan plan, could be built in few
years and the docks and piers be completed
without departing from Comptroller kelly's
principle of "pay as we 60"

We ought to have a supply sufficient for

have no right TO depend any longer on re-
sources that may fail us, and which can only
now be made sufficient by a system of
storage reservoirs against the suse of which
many substantial objections can be urged.
We are fortunately in a position to secure
more than one source OF supply, and no
city with the prospects that lie before New
York should hesitate to avail itself of this
privilege. Several good plans of improving
and supplementing our present supply have
been proposed. We should adopt the broad
est and most certain of these and prepare to
carry it out, instead Of expending more
money in seeking temporary relief from
scarcity, if not protection against famine.
BY this means only can we provide ade-
quately for the great future that awaits u.s.

we can secure is by putting our roads in
such condition that full loads can
be carted over them without difficulty, and
that every street can be used and the delay
of blockades avoided. We have every rea-
son now to push forward such wise and
necessary Improvements as those enumer-
ated. because the prospect before us is en-
couragng. We may move freight cars
through the city at night as temporary
expedient, but we want substantial i'm

people Of New York will never begrudge
money honestly expended on needed and
beneficial public works. We are certain Of
rapid transit, and we shall now do well if,
by honest and wise expenditures on our
docks, our water supply and our pavements,
we manage to secure in return for our heavy
annual expenditures such substantial i'm
provements as will aid the growth and ada

THE WEATHER. Yesterday the weather was
very unsettled in and west of the Mississippi Val
ley. Our reports from Cheyenne, Wyoming Ter
ritory, state that an exceptionally severe storm
with heavy SHOWS prevailed in the region of the
Platte Valley and over the territory north and
south of that district during yesterday. The
northwest winds following the storm centre
which is now moving over Western Iowa at
tanned avelocity of between fifty and sixty miles
per hour and traffic is entirely suspended on
the railroads between the Missouri River and
the Rocky Mountains. Up to late last evening
the gale continued ut Cheyenne and was in
creasipg eastward. Another disturbance is
moving over the Gulf coast toward New Orleans
and Mobile with very heavy rains OH its
northern margin. A violent gale prevailed
yesterday OH the Texas coast Rains have
fallen from the Gulf to Manitoba and
the winds are increasing from fresh to very
high On the Atlantic coast the pressure has
risen rapidly sure indication of the severity of
the disturbance to the westward. All the winds
are from easterly or ,southerly points,
except in the Northwest and West, whence
they follow the depression. AS the storm
will prove very heavy in. the regions of the
produce centres and subsequently on the South
Atlantic and Eastern COASTS timely precautions
should be taken by merchants and Davigators.
The weather in New York and its vicinity to-
day will be warm and partly cloudy or cloudy,

what Is the Matter in Virginia.

What Is the Matter in Virginia.
It may be said to the credit OF Virginia and
to the honor of the people of that old State
that we do not often get from it such
story as is told in the despatch from Rich
mond printed to-day. Fortunately, that
kind OF punishment Of great crimes,
which itself partakes of the nature Of
the crimes punished, has been mostly
practised hitherto in our frontier dis
tricts and in those little civilized coun-
tries where the people have no other
remedy for self protection. Where courts
do not exist or where the organization of the
machinery of criminal justice is so loose that
there is no guarantee for the punishment of
deinquents, or where it is practically found
that crime has immunity through COR
ruptions in the administration, there is
some reason for the application OF Lynch
law, though even in these cases the fact
that action is taken under the influence OF
excitement and passion, and that the guilt
of the accused is never certainly established,
stamps it as barbarous remedy as bad as
the evil it endeavors 10 correct But how
can it be possible that there is any excuse
for the practice Of this kind of barbarity in
Virginia? If the story of the hanging of n
negro woman in Rockingham county for
having, as supposed, instigated the burning
of barn is not an exaggeration, it is evil
dent that the people have for some reason
lost faith in the administration of justice,
and equally lost faith in themselves thus to
yield to impulses that are essentially MUIR
darons
