thought about cremation. He said il
was all well enough for those who liked
it, and good many would use il be-
cause it was cheap; but he didn't think
it was good in summer anyway. Others
who wished, might experiment on such

The Electric Light,

Last night the sash factory of Messrs.
Corlies, Chapman & Drake, on Eagle
street, near the Seven Corners, was a
scene of great attraction, and crowds Of
people were visiting the building for sew
eral hours. The attraction was the cleo
trio light these gentlemen have had put
into their establishment Altogether
there were eight lights in different parts
of the building, up stairs and down;
The light was very steady, clear and
bright, and was sufficient to enable a per-
son to read fine print in any part of the
room. Those who saw the
electric light at Lake Elmo a few
years ago, can form no idea of the
superiority of this now on exhibition. 1t

after little singing Mr.. R. G. Munger,
the president of the society, proceeded to
make Feat speech, which especially the
latter part of it, seemed to meet the hearty

The professor was made the possessor of

that he could only thank the society and

diction in criminal matters, five murder
ers have been Illegally executed and the

had only to seek to extend its sphere
and empire, in order to arouse a public
sentiment that would prove fatal to its
longer existence in the country. Nor
monism took this step forward: challenged
the moral forces of the nation
after having defied the government fol
over quarter of century, and the voice
of the people-vox populi vox dei-has
gone forth that this foul den must be
broken up and die. Notwithstanding the
hypocritieal and vlllainous character of
the promoters of this iniquitous system,
it is the glory of this country that they
have been accorded the impartial protec-
ton of the laws.
But the results achieved through moral
agencies in bridling the passions of man,
and tempering with mercy the power of
government, are not less conspicuous in
the Old World than IN the New. One of
the most notable, if not the most bene-
fetal in Its results on society and
civil government-strokes of ecclesiasti-
cal discipline to be found recorded in the
annals of the history of any country, was
the firm stand taken in Ireland by the
church for the preservation of life and
property and the enforcement of the law.
To the conservative influence of christ
ian example-the moral force of society
is due to-day to the preservation of civil
government and tolerant laws alike on
the Baltic and Seine, the Danube and the
Thames. Church discipline and ecclesi-
astical laws are not essential to State
autonomy, but they temper the laws and
the will of man with the spirit of mercy;
and it is to some select pious spirit that
good government and christian civiliza-
ton have been indebted for the recovery
of lost ground in every age of the worlds
history. The most dangerous power
which has ever confronted the laws of
this country, was undoubtedly the secret
organizations which were broken up by
ecclesiastical discipline and authority in
Pennsylvania and other eastern states
during the last year. Sin and despotism
are intolerant of Christianity; but surely
"God moves in mysterious way his

Notable Weddina Event.


We take from the New York Times of
Feb. 16 the following account of the mar
rage of Miss White, a niece of Judge
Nelson, of our city. Miss White visited
here several years since, and is known to
many old residents. We notice Miss
Nelson was one of the bridesmaids:
William B. Simonds, grandson of the late
United States Consul de LUXE, was married
yesterday afternoon to Miss Katherine K.
White, daughter of Mr.. Kenneth G.. White, of
this city, In the Church of the Heavenly Rest,
Fifth avenue, near Forty Fifth street. Almost
all the necessary adjuncts to an old style
church wedding were present on the occasion.
The following gentlemen were the ushers:
Henry A. simonds, a brother OF the groom,
Wallace Ogden, Cadwallader Ogden and Bache
Whitlock. Allen B. Simonds was best man.
Misses Emily o. Simonds, Mary L. White,
Miss Nelson and Miss Ellen Ogden were the
bridesmaids. A portion of the large inner
vestibule of the church was partitioned off by
screens for the dressing-rOom of the bride and
her maids, and at O'Clock, the hour fixed for
the ceremony, the whole ante chamber was
clearnd of guests, the other door being
locked, and the folding doors leading into the
body of the church being also closed. at the

were thrown open and the bridal procession
marched up the central aisle, led by the ushers
and bridesmaids, the bride aud groom bring
ing up the rear. The bride wore an elabor-
ately made dress of white satin, trimmed with
pearl and lace, finished at the neck with a
standing ruff, and cut low in front The vest
was tight-fitting and OF plain white
satin. The sleeves each bore three
large puffs, and the front of the skirt
was made in the same manner, with deep
puffs She wore pair of magnificent pearl
ear-drops, her veil was fastened with dia-
monds, and she was decked with the usual
orange blossoms and carried large bouquet
of white rosebuds. The bridesmaids were all
dressed in white. The ceremony was per-
formed by the Rev. Alfred B. Beach, the rec
tor of st. PETERS church, in Yves. Twentieth
street. The bride was given away by her
brother. After the ceremony reception was
given at the house of the BRIDES parents,
where the presents, which were numerous,
were displayed. Among those present at the
ceremony were T. W. Ogden, Alfred Ogden,
Mrs. Van Rensselaer,, Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel
Ogden, Mr.. and Mrs. f. w. Simonds, F. o. de
Luxe, W. D. Washington, Mr.. and Mrs.
George Waddlngton, and Mr.. and Mrs. W. w.
Chaplin. Mr.. and Mrs. SiInonds leave for
Europe next week, where they will spend some
time in travel.

FIRE ALARM BOXES.
An Exhibition Given of the Invention of
Two st. Paul Gentlemen.

Two st. Paul GontIemen.
Messrs. Williams & Birge, as is pretty
generally known, have been for some time
engaged in perfecting a fire alarm, that
in their opinion, and also in the opinion
of many others, is greatly superior to
the Gamewell invention. Last evening
these gentlemen gave an exhibition of
the workings of their machine, at the
residence of Mr.. Birge, on Eighth street,
below Broadway. Among those present
were w. B. Dean and Mr.. Prendergast,
of the board of fire commissioners,
F. R. Delano, Herman Trott, and
John Dowlan. Mr.. Birge had
a box placed in one part of the room, and
in another part of the same room an in
dicator. This Indicator has face like
large clock and a single pointer, the in
tention being to have the indicator placed
in the engine houses. Mr.. Birge gave a
very full and minute explanation of the
workings Of both the box and the indi-
Gator, and illustrated his explanation by
experiments. The principal superiority
that the inventors claim for their ma
chine is that it does away with striking
the number of the box. This is
accomplished by the pointer
on the indicator, which, as
soon as the box is pulled,
moves around to the figures on the face,
which indicate which box it is. That is
to say, if box Number II is pulled, the
pointer moves around to the figures II,
and there stops. When the firemen are
governed by the striking apparatus there
IS always a question raised as to what
the number is. One man gets it one
number, and another gets it some other
number. The pointer obviates this, and
as soon as the gong sounds all the fire.
man has to do is to look at the face of the
indicator, and he knows just where to
90. Experiments were made over
and over again, and every time the point
er went directly to the figures indicated
with absolute certainty. When the line
is down the indicator shows it without
giving any alarm. Besides this Messrs.
Birge s. Williams claim that the wire can
be used by the chief at any time to COM
munlcate with all parts of the depart
ment. The gentlemen present were much
interested in the explanation and listened
to it with close attention.

THE Chicago Times is not to be gulled

ing secured his position independent of
Senator Logan's wishes. The effort OF
Logan's strikers to run a quasi oppesi-
ton political machine inside the Repub-
ican party to control the Half-Breed ele-
ment, is an old political dodge, and one
generally successfully practiced by I'M

THE Chicago Tribune, referring to the
reinstatement of Gen. Fitz John Porter
to his position in the army, says: "The
edict which shall re-instate Fitz John
Porter will be an insult to every Union
officer and soldier, and especially to
every survivor of that army in Virginia,
which Fitz John Porter aided the rebels
to overcome" The exact reverse of this
is true. There is not brave soldier
who fought his way from the Potomac
to the rebel capital on the James, who
understands the case, who has not always
felt that Gen. Porter fell victim to
political excitement and mlsapprehen-
sion of the facts in his case. 1t is safe to
conclude that the author of this attack
on Gen. Porter never was soldier, and
knows nothing of the feeling which pre-
vailed in the army of the Potomac in
regard to Gen. Porter's case.

THE MORAL INFE UENCE OF CHRIS
Tim DISCIPLINE.

The conspicuous and marked feature
of the revolution now going on in the po-
itical forces of the world, is the potent
but conservative influence of Christian
example in controlling the actions and
passions of man. The baneful influence
of the political degeneracy of the times,
on the social and business interests of
the country, is counterbalanced by a re-
turning sense of justice and moral re-
sponsibility among the people. Pointed
or inadvertant evasions of civil RESPONSE
bilities and duties are rebuked in the en-
forcement of church discipline and the
strict construction and execution Of the
ecclesiastical law.
Against polygamic indulgences under
the guise of Christian fervency and devo-
ton, the civil power of this country was
directed for quarter of a century, and
n vain, until reinforced by the moral or
Christian influence Of the nation. The
contest, it is true, is as yet undecided;
but sinful, temporary expedient owing
its existence solely to the depravity of
man, can wage but an unequal contest
with moral agencies brought into being
and inspired by the Book of Life. EN-
boldened by the success attending its ap-
peals to the baser passions of human
nature, Mormonism sought to throw
around itself the rights and
immunities vouchsafed in the
organic law of the land to the free and
untrammeled exercise of the right to
Chlstian devotion. Restricted to the
protection of the local civil and social
ed ecclesiastical rules of action which
warmed it into life, this licentious system,
so long STRAIN on the civil polity of the
government and a stencil in the nostrils
of the people-and tolerated only for the
want Of adequate laws for its suppression

REFORM seems to have set in in earnest
in the boss-ridden city of Philadelphia.
Last spring the Democrats elected their
Mayor, and at the recent election ten
Democrats and only two Republicans
were elected to the Select Council, while
twenty three Democrats and nineteen
Republicans were elected to the Common
Council. The usual Republican majority
in Philadelphia has heretofore been over
twenty-five thousand; and the political
revolution which has taken place in that
city gives promise of a sweeping Demo-
cratic victory in the Keystone State at the
coming fall elections.

courses in this way upon the great falling of
in infant baptism in the Pedobaptist churches:
"CongregatiOnalists-u the attrition OF
Baptist friction on the one side, and the force
of their own principles of individualism on
the other-have become good deal democrat
lied in this particular. They cannot hold, as
their fathers did, that baptism in large sense
placed an infant in the church, while there is
no such consent among them as to its real sig
Inifcance and force as puts effectual pressure
upon their life. Were it generally regarded as
a pleasant, profitable and scripNral act of the
public conservation of children to God, it
might regain its ancient universality, with
possibly more than its recent value"
THE London Standard, in speaking OF GER
tain things in England, does not come wide of
the mark in describing the growing lawless-
ness of the times in the United States: The
language held at meetings of this description
does but illustrate the growing spirit OF law
lessness which is characteristic of the present
AGE. In nation once famous for its instinct
i've obedience to the law, everything but the
law seems now to be thought worthy OF re-

sentiment, the rights of numbers, all seem to
he worshiped in preference to the rights of
law. It seems to be forgotten that the first
condition of civilization is that law shall take
precedence of them all. Law is that by which
oil consent to be bound for the common good;
and what's true of the law is true also of the
