TIE NUDE IN ART.
A Sermon on the Subject By the
Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher.
speciaI 70 the Cnclnnnti commeroial.

Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.
New York, December I0.-Only
the aisle chairs in Plymouth Church
were vacant this morning, in spite
OF the inclement weather. Mr..
Beecher spoke upon the beauty OF
holiness, with incidental references TO
earthly beauty. While beauty, he
said, was not to be despsied, it was the
gift Of God, and, therefore, to be re-
cognized. 1t was just as well to thank
God for beauty as for health and
comfortable surroundings. BUTT was
the custom, if any one alluded to a
woman's beauty before her, for her to
deny it, to blush and shipper, ''Oh. no.
sou hatter." As to homely persons
they were themselves to blame. In
ward beauty all could attain, and
then il would strike through to the
outside SO as to show the beautiful
soul within. There was no cosmetic
like grace.
Mr.. Beecher went on to say that
the most beautiful man he ever saw
was a black man. But his beauty was
not in his skin or his we'll conditioned
lips or his kinky hair, He vas fairly
redolent with piety, and ALTHOUGH Mr..
Beecber's father was in the pulpit, and
Smith, the black nan, was chores, he
respected the latter moro than his
father, and believed that he was the
best man in the world. 1t had some.
thing to do with his strong Abolition
sentiments.
If some sacred Inner would only
come down and paint things as they
are, what a whistling and a twisting
there would be to keep the pictures
out OF the sight of the reportersl
Art which painted and glorifed
matter only, was art beastly. TIE
men who painted what modesty
hid and the processes of which nature
herself wa ashamed, what language
could fifty characterize? Then the
prostitution of literature, making love

called it liberty and the worship Of
nature but they had not the first ides
as to what nature really was. Art

or boudoirs and bedrooms at home
Nakedness with attributes not pnrt

Seventy. four years ago Spain wai
barbarously brett OF a treasure that
every true Castilian priced far above
rubies. During the French invasion
certain Napoleoaic legionaries broke
open the tomb at Burgos containinc
the remains Of Ruy Diaz de Rivar, the
Gid Campeador, and OF his wife, the
Countess Ximena, emptied the coffin:
in search OF valuables, and eventually
LETT the bones Of the illustrious dead
scattered about the floor of the vault
in which the sac.iligious act was com.
mitted. Prince Salm- Dyck, who hap
pened to be at Rugos at the time, and
q French officer named La Martillet,
carefully collected the "disjecta mem.
bra" which the prince subsequently,
deposited in a small sarcOphagus ex-
actly copied by his direction, from
that in which the collins had reposed
for 7O9 years. During his life time
Prince Salm kept the secret Of his
sarcophsgus, which after his death
came into the possession Of Prince An
ton Won Hohenzollern the king OF Rou-
mania's father, by special bequest.
The strangest episode in this remarka-
BILE story is yet to come. One day last
summer, as DR.. Lauser, a German art
Journalist, was going through the mag
nifcent collection Of antiquities at
Sigmaringeu Castle, his attention was
attracted by a small but deliberately
carved stone sarcophsgus, bearing up
on its lid the efigies Of a fully armed
knight and a richly attired lady. In
quiring into the history OF this object.
he was informed that it contained some
relics Of the famous Cid Rodrigo.
Through one Of his Spanish acquaint.
ances, the academican Tubino, Lauser
at once impaired the whereabouts of
this repository and its contents Of
King Alfonso, who lost no time in pre-
ferrlng an urgent request to the prince
oil Hohenzollern for their restoration
to Spain. 1t is scarcely necessary to
add that his royal highness readily
accsded to the Spanish monarch'i
wishes in a matter 50 deeply interest
ing to Spain from a national point Of
view. The bones Of Rodrigo and
Aimena, as we are informed, will b.
dispatched ere long to their nativ,
country, where it cannot be doubted
that they will be received with ever,
imaginable token of Official respec'
and popular enthusiasm.

The TARIFF DEBATE.
The Question Sure TO Come Up
During the Present Session.
Special to COurier-JOurnal.

WASHINGTON, December 10.-It ia
now evident that the great debate on
the tariff will come up in the present
Congress instead Of the next. The
backdown of the PrOtectionists and
the views of President Arthur have
really forced the issue upon the mem
bers OF the present session. 1t is a
matter Of regret that the question has
10 be discussed before Frank Hurd
and other great tariff reformers elected
last month and fresh from the people
are here to take partin the interesting
and important topic. 1t is some con.
ISOLATION, however, in knowing that the
probabilities are strong that the PEG
pie will get at least part Of the heavy
war tax load taken off their backs.
