METROPOLITAN IHEATER.-Ihe reappeaf-
ancs of Haverly's Mastodon Minstrel
Troupe at the Metropolitan Theater last
night drew out one of the largest audiences
seen within the walls of the Metropolitan
Theater for very long time. 1t is some
thing of a puzzle to the thoughtful why the
absurdities OF negro minstreisey will COM
mand so large a share of public patronage,
when the legitimate drama is presented at
great hazard TO managerial purses. But the
fact remains that any fairly average minstrel
troupe will draw" The Haverly troupe is
above the average, ranking with the best
minstrel organizations known. and hence It
draws to oveIfiowirg. The merits of this
company have heretofore been fully consid-
cred in these columns. It's six weeks stay ia
San Francisco has rather frightened and
quieksaed il, and while no marked change is
noticeable in any of the leading parts, it is
easily Eeen that is two months on this coast
has Benefited it, and that it goes back to the
East in better condition than ever-at least
to Califosnians it so appears. The troupe
makes its farewell appearance here tonight,
aud promises an entire change of programme.
Ii Is safe 70 predict that az large an audiencs
will bid It goodbye tonight as welcomed its
return LAST evening.

and potash, are the most important in
gradients Of our common commercial
fertilizers, because of both their search
ty in the soil and their high cost.
IL. The chief use of commercial fer
tilizers, guano, phosphates, bone, pot
ash salts and special fertilizers prepar-
ell by formula of different crops, Is TO
supply nitrogen, phosphorIc acid and
potash.
u. These materials are expensive,
but the right ones in the right places
are nevertheless very profitable. Some
of tho materials used in the experiments
we have to report in some cases given
q net profit Of nearly one hundred dol
lars per acre. But the same fertilizers
in other trials have brought little or no
return.
IS. IT is not good economy to pay
high prices for materials which our
soils themselves may furnieh, but it Is
good economy to supply lacking ones in
the cheapest way. Farmers can't afford
to use commercial fertilizers at ran.
dom. No moro can they afford to have
their crops fail when u small outlay fol-
the proper fertilizer would bring
bountiful harvest. And il is time tina
they understood these facts, the reasons
and how to make use use of them.
IA. The only way to find what oul
soils want is to study them by careful
observation and experiments. Success
in farming as in other business require
the use of brains.
Wo are fortunate in having men IL
Vermont who arc able and willing t,
study these problems nationally ant
with good measure of SUCCESS. Th,
succeeding articles will give some o
the results.

Popular Science Monthly for April, 1850.

The April number of "The Popular
Science Monthly" In the variety, read
ableness, and substantial excellence of
its articles, well sustans its reputation.
It's first paper, by Mr.. G.. NJ. Lungren,
on "Progress and Poverty" is an elab-
crate discussion of the views of Mr.,
George, presented in his recent work
under that title. The paper treats of
certain important and fundamental
problems of economical science, with
great clearncss of conception and per-
spicuity of statement. There has recent
ly been curious and extraordinary
outbreak on the planet Jupiter, which
Mr.. Henry j. Slack describes and dis
cusses in an illustrated article under
the title of "What is Jupiter doing?''
DR.. Albert j. Leflingwell contributes a
brilliant and powerful paper on "The
Scientific Aspect of Free Will" Ii
brings out in new and striking light
some of the aspects of that hitherto OBJ
scure and much-bcfoggcd question,
which is shown to have its very prac-
teal bearings. Professor Jevons treats
of Experimental Legislation in a
most Instructive chapter OH the science
of law-making, which he holds to be
Just as truly an experimental science
rs chemistry. That, in the hands OF
our politicians, the experimenting is
blind and the SCIENCE very poor he
thinks il nothing against the method.
Professor III. l.. Fairchild contributes a
very entertaining illustrated paper in
the department of natural history on
"Curious Ways of getting Food"
Those who are interested in the bear
ings of scientific analysis on artistic
questions will be pleased with tho sub
tile and lucid discussion of "The Pleas
IRE of Visual Form" by Mr.. James
Sully, now leading writer on aesthetic
scionce. 1t will be followed mp in the
next number. An illustrated article
by Professor K. Ray Lancaster, "Thc
Craytish," treats of that instructive
creature, now suddenly become so eel
ebratcd through the publication Of
Professor Luxley's last work. Teach
ors and parents will be Interested in the
article on "Lcarning to write" "a

BILE Phosphorescencc." w. j. MCGEE
devotes an elaborate paper to Croll's
"Climato and Time" in which the in
toractions of geology and astronomy in
controlling terrestrial phenomena are
very clearly presented. "a Living

of Body" and "The Textile Plants OF
the World" are fresh and instructive
articles; and the full biographical

which is accompanied by an admirable

Take the licensed dram shops of Bos-

eight miles OF manufactures of mad
men and paupers. Has Massachusetts,
paving such taxes that her elections Of
ten turn on sche mes for reduction of
the burdens of the people, nothing TO
say about the execution of temperance
laws2 Eight solid miles engaged in
business at war with any other traffic.
Whom the shrowd black angels watch
the cities at midnight, It must be that
they laugh little at the merchants en-
gagged ia honorable trades, to see how
the latter are feeeed by the proprietors
of whiskey-don.. The Indictment to
be brought against the liquor-trafiic, in
the name of the ttsle, Is that IL can sue
coed only by standing OH the ruins of
other trados. 1t is pirate; it is a
leech; IL is the enemy OF honest traffic.
That the Citizens in the honorable pur.
suits of mercantile lie are not to man
united against the unlicensed dram
shops in Boston and New York and
throughout the world, is a puzzle,
think, to tho acutcst black angels that
move to and fro through the midnight
of the planet. Our church property in
the United States, all masscd together
is worth only 1854, 900, 900. The drink
bill of the United States is $700, OO0, 0Ot
a year. This is nm estimate by the
National Bureau Of Statistics. There
is no accurate return, even in the reve
nuo department. II has been shown
again and again the financial loss sus
tanned by the sale of drinks amounts il
every fifteen years to value equal tc
that OF tho property destroyed in the
five years of the civil war. Every one
knows that statements of this kind are
facts, and no defamation. A civil wa,
for five years every fifteen years woult
destroy no more property than the run
traffic. II is said that the church can dc
nothing with the gigantic Apollyon O.
the liquor trade, strldlng across the
whole breadth Of the mercantile high
way. She cannot, II she is the churcl
of the heavenly rest. The ministry o.
the United Statos, without going out o.
their own house of worship, have op
portunities TO reach with the living
voice twenty-thrcc millions OF people
That ia the number of sittings in the
churches of tie United States; and
suppose that on an average for the ycai
most ministers address as many people
as can be brought together in thciI
churches. Probably twenty-thrce mil
lion who are old enough to 90 church
are effectively reached by the voice OF
the pulpit IN this land.

Line upon Line.

Judge Pierce, Of Philadelphia, In a,
address to the grand jnry, declared thai
in that city there are ab0nt seven thous.
and tavcrns, or public drinking places
this bciHg an average of one tavern to
every one hundred inhabitants, or, in
fact, to every twenty-five adult males
in the entire city. Flo also declared
that of forty-four thousand nine hun.
dred snd nineteen arrests in the city
from all causes during 1875. thcrc were
twcnty-fonr thousand fvo hundred and
eleven, or Moro tnan ono half OF tho ell
tire number, for intoxication or lianor
selling. His careful estimate of the
cost OF this traffic to tho public show
fully 81 200, 900 per annum for tho ar
rest and conviction and punishmint of
its victims In Philadelphia, In addition
to cal ,o00, 900 sqnAAdersd here In the
purchase Of liquor by its consumers.
In the face OF these figures the words OF
Judge Pierce seem none tso strong
when no says: "Is Il a wonder thai
when hard times come there is 90 much
suffering among that class Of our citI-
zens whose hard earnings arc thus d.
verted from tho savings institutions 10
indulgenccs which are destructive TO
both health and happiness? But the de-
plorable traffic comes freighted toy us
with greater burdens than those which
affect material wealth. II brings on It's

fortunes OF thousands; the signs and
broken hearts Of methers, wives, sisters
and chilren; ruined characters and des
olatc homes; widows and orphans

The only safe and sure rcmedy 70,

as for other vice-Christ's religion
We call drunkenness a crime, and II
should BIO treated as such. Medical
prescriptions arc not sufficient. Moral
influences may do much good, and are
to be desired and welcomed. But
many man has boen reformed who
has not boon cured. What an Opportu-
nifty for tho Christian ministry who ad-
dress each Sabbath moro than twenty
millions OF people In this country. Are
they fully alive to their duty7 Their
trumpcts should give no uncertain
sound on this question.
The owners Of property where grog-
shops arc located should be called upon
10 Withdraw said property for such a
use, and thus cease to become abettors
of crime. Every minister should know
that the only remedy for intemperancc
is practical religion. "The relations
of science to Christianity are such ,"says
all eminent writer, "that twenty years
hence the ministry will be behind the
times unless able to give proper en-
phasis TO all scientific truth on moral
points. In tho temperance work

God than in Satan. II we can once
tcrrify the politicians a little we can
terrify the sllms."
Let the ministry set forth the great
truth, that the only and sure remedy
for any vice, for all vices, is the gospel
that gospel which alone is the power
of God, is the power that saves. No
other power but this can be depended
on, and it is one of the encouraging
signs of the times, in this Temperance
that its friends are coming
more and more to an understanding Of
this great fundamental truth. Signing
the pledge lie good thing. II is well
to bring the tempted ones often into
