and indecent it seems to be assumed on the
one side that there is something shameful
and wrong about the human form itself;
while, on the other, it appears to be claimed
that because physical outlines are beautiful
and honorable in themselves artists oil
vicious tendencies are to be justified In
adapting human lines and tints TO any
purpose which depraved nature may de.
sire to express upon canvas. After the
quarrel is over, however, the public will be
pretty sure to 40 on deciding the question
according to the pictures themselves, as IT
has done heretofore. The morality or inn
morality of picture is to be found in its
sentiment instead of its material. If an
artist has any Imagination, either good or
bad, his picture will express its exact
quality, whether the figures are draped or
not; and by this alone is the moral infiu-
ence of his picture to be estimated. If he
is mere copyist, rs nine out OF every ten
painters are, his nude figures will have no
more influence than the hundreds of theil
kind which hang in European galleries and
which are passed without second glance
by any observer, no matter what his per-
sonal character may be.

Yellow Fever and Quarantine.

Quarantine-rigorous and absolute quar-
antine--quarantine that effectively isolates
a place at which the epidemic has made its
appearance and maintains non-intercourse
for the whole time Of its prevalence--this, a
special committee informed the National
that is effective against yellow fever.
Having made elaborate and thorough in
quiry on the scene Of the epidemic, and
with all facilities extended to assist the
effectiveness OF their Investigation, these
doctors are satisfied that the infection of
the fever was carried into every
place in which it rage by personal
or commercial communication, and was
brought to New Orleans by the Emily Sou
der; that disinfectants have been Of no
value, but often have done harm; that proph-
ylactic medicines are of doubtful benefit,
and that the most rigid quarantine is the
only hope of any threatened community.
Everybody interested in the welfare and
prosperity Of the city of New Orleans
should take especial notice of this declara-
tion, for it's point will be remembered next
summer, and rigid quarantine will be
adopted against the Crescent City unless it
enforces very effective cne against ports
from which yellow fever can come. Ii New
Orleans cannot make q good quarantine,
some OF the cities up the river can-as was
seen this yearand doubtless will.

Why Make Us Blush

Mr. Talmage, with few flaps of his wings,
took his Tabernacle of Brooklyn saints yes
terday morning and set it down in a den of
New York thieves. Then he proceeded to
exhibit burglars, bank robbers, male
and female pickpockeis, footpads, sneak
thieves and so forth, who steal
au aggregate of six million dollars
a year. With what paipitating interest the
good people were moved at seeing on what
familiar terms their pastor was with these
criminals may be imagined by picturing an
innocent rustic gloating and blushing
over his first dip into those flashy
sketches Of metropolitan .wickedness
which are circulated with make-believe
secrecy among gullible countrymen and
which are usually called mysteries" 1t
is not probable that the saints will be any
better for this reverend comedians fine i'm
itation Of q runaway window smasher
shouting "Stop thief" than the country
man for his glimpse Of the alleged
orgies of ballet girls and young
sbloods.' They are both on the same
plane, and the one will as little help the
rustic to high sense Of the purity Of life
as the other will fit the Tabernacler for
berth on board that bizarre craft with 'sfve
DOORS" which is Mr.. Talmage's idea Of the
vessel OF salvation. A funny thing about
these sermons is that they have stimulated
some ministers to recount, per contra, how
good we are in New York The record Of our
charities is slapped against the tabulation
of our crimes and goes it half million dol
lars better. Between these rival statements
VIC feel in doubt whether it is the blush of
criminal shame or of modest worth that
mantles our countenance.

Second Hand Humanity.

An exchange tells OF pedestrian who
happened to see boy fall into a brook.
The observer had tender heart, but he had
also pair of new trousers for which he had
great regard, SO he hurried to house some
distance away and gave the alarm. 1t is
needless to say that the boy was drowned
before help could reach him. AS for the
humane pedestrian, a jury of unregenerates
were 50 stupid as to censure him severely,
apparently under the impression that he
had done something impro per. If the jury
men were really correct, and the careful
guardian Of his own trousers was wrong,
the last named gentleman deserves great
deal Of sympathy, for humanity like his is
quite the general thing. very great
number of men and WON en- who behold the
sufferings and dangers of others are deeply
affected by them, but, out of regard either
for property which they have or hope to
have. they hurry about to get relief for the
sufferer-by telling somebody else. Among
these dispensers Of humanity at Sec
ond hand are many of the godly
folk of this city, who are just now
weeping over the drunkards of their
acquaintance and turning them over to the
prayers Of the faithful aud the efforts Of Mr..
Murphy. If after thus quieting their own
consciences the humane souls look backward
and discover that the drunkard is no more,
they have themselves to blame. The man
who really wants drunkard saved should
himself plunge in and give the poor wretch
hand, even ut the risk of the operation
costing something; and though there may
be no regularly empanelled jury to censure
him in case of performance of his mani
fest duty the stupidest person Of his ac-
quaintance is fully competen. to perceive
that he is contemplate hypocrite, and to
say so.

The Human Form Divine.

The undrepei human figure in art is ex-
citing great deal OF discussion just now,
even although the photograph OF Makart's
great picture no longer hangs in the window
OF the Fulton street confcctoner, and Bou-
guereau's study of n feminine figure has
been retired from the Loan Exhibition.

An Interview with Ewing.

We copy from tho Cleveland Herald a
conversation with tho Ohio champion of
imitation and silver money The note
worthy thing in this interview is Mr..
Ewing's admission that resumption will be
accomplished on the 1st Of January, since
there will be no opportunity tor passing
bill for defeating or retarding resumption
before that date. There is just as little
likelihood Of the passage Of such q bill after
rs before the 1st OF January. Even if it
could be carried through the Senate,
which no good judge believes, it would
certainly be stranded on a Veto Mr.. Ewing

Holy Kisses.

Why did the clerical investigators of the
Wallingford church scandal, upon which we
publish a letter to-day. omit to notice the
charge that the accused pastor was fond of
kissing female parishioners If, as seems
most likely, the apostolic injunction to
salute the faithful With holy kiss seemed
to forbid them, We beg to say, in our humble
capacity Of laymen, that the nineteenth
century of the Christian era is not the first,
and that the pastor of to-day is differ
ent man from his apostolic prototypes,
and is living among entirely different
social ard religious conditions. When
ON unpaid, unkempt, prosecuted. utterly
religious enthusiast, as all the immediate
successors of Jesus were, hurried about
from place to place, exhorting men and
women to purity and to preparation for that
end of oil things which he believed to be
Just at hand, the kiss he bestowed was likely
to be given and received as a mere saluta-
ton, according to the custom OF the time.
1t gave no offence to the receiver or her
friends. To-day, however, there is scarcely
any one who expects to hear the last trump
except from a reserved seat in the next
world. The preacher Of the Gospel is, out
Of tho pulpit, man like ourselves,
and is judged by the social standards
which are admitted by other people profess
ing to be respectable. There is another
apostolic injunction, far.more emphatically
expressed than that upon kissing, to the
effec. that under no circumstances should
man do anything which causes his spiritual
brother to offend. It being an oft-proved
fact that the pastoral kiss causes many men
to wish black eyes and bloody noses to the
bestower and to occasionally infict them,
we submit to conferences presbyteries and
synods the question whether the peace and
reputation of churches is not Of more con-
sequence than any social precedent what
ever?
The New York herald., 1878-11-25


The attention of the Street Cleaning Bu-
reau is directed to the report in to-day's
HERALD Of the condition OF the streets on
the east side between Twentieth and Fifty
seventh streets, and also to the complaints
as to the irregulaiity and insufficiency of
the visits of the ash and garbage carts in
that locality. The latter evil is not,
indeed, confined 10 any particular
district but may be said to be
general all over the city and demands a
prompt remedy. By some unacccuntable
arrangement the carts seem to make their
collections at undesirable hours, and very
frequently to skip whole blocks, apparently
through oversight or carelessness. 1t is
not unusual 10 SEQ cars collecting
ashes along Nassau street and other
crowded thoroughfares at four or five
o'clock in the afternoon, when the
sidewalks are thronged and when the scat
tciing of the dust and dirt is particularly
offensive. Certainly such blunders as these
ought to be avoided and fixed hours named
for the collection Of the contents of barrels
and ash pans, when the work will be as
little OF public nuisance as possible.
IL IS TO be hoped that the street cleaning
authorities will set as efficiently to work TO
clean such streets as our reports show to be
