oscULAToRY ART IN.ENGLAND.

From the indianapolis Journal.
In our own crude America the inroads
of kissing, as a national vice, are unden-
liable ard deplorable, but We can find
much to palliate our offences in this re-
gard in tracing the disease to climatic and
ather inevitable causes. That England,
however the land of reserve, of culture
and of dignity, should find amusement
or creation in this puerile pastime, is in
deed astonishing. The following excerpt
from an article on London Theatres" in
in a very recent Century, will be of inter
est to those engaged in study of the os-
culatory drama: The amount of kissing
and hugging that goes on in London, in
the interest of the drama, is quite incal-
iculable, and to spectators who find theil
in ideal of taste more nearly fulfilled
the French theatre. it has the drollcst and
often the most displeasing effect. Of
such demonstrations French comedians
are singularly sparing; it is apparently
understood that French modesty may be
ruffled by them The English would be
greatly and naturally surprised if anyone
should undertake to suggest to them thai
they have a shallower sense of decencl
than the French, and yet they view witt
complacency, in the high glare of the foot
lights, a redundancy of physical endear
ment which the taste of their neighbors
across the channel would never accept.
1t is wholly matter of taste, and tastt
is not the great English quality. Eng
lish spectators delight in broad
effects, and English actors and
authors are often restricted TO them, /
is broad effect; it tells, or fetches, as the
phrase is, to make lover and his las
or husband and his wife, cling abou
each others necks and return again to the
charge, and when expedients are want
ing this one always succeeds. 1t Is wher
the embrace is strictly conjugal that it il
especially serviceable. The public relisl
of it is then extreme, and is only to b.
condemned on aesthetic grounds, l
speaks of the sounGness and sincerity o
of the people, but it speaks also of thei
want of certain delicacy. Black k-eyeC
Susan, Douglass Jerrold's curiously an
tiouated drama, tells strange tale o
what the English stage had become fift.
years ago, and this performance consist
almost exclusively of the variety of situa
ton in which the unfortunate William
presses his devoted spouse to his bosom
1t is admirable, but it is to admirable
and it is as it s,reat mistake to give Vi
so much of it as it would be to represen
people saying their prayers. The French

situations, should be merely hinted to lin
ger upon, and that, moreover, at bottom
they are out dramatis.

LONDON. April Latter advices give the

engagement near Halfiyeh on the 10th

two miles after the battle The con-
fusion during the retreat was fearful to be-
hold. The Egyptian regulars and Bashi
Bazouks kept shouting out that
their generals had betrayed them. The
wounded received no attention for seven
hours. The troops bad been clamoring for
three weeks before to meet the enemy In
the early part of the encounter the Egyptians
were successful, and the enemy were actually
in full retreat when the cavalry made a
. dashing charge.
Despite the reverse the inhabitants still re
main the staunch friends of Gordon. One
Arab has lent Gordon 81, ,Ooo as his treasury

Important Decision in Regard to Ma.

Proceedings in the Senate and
House, Danyiile Enyestiga-
ti0n--- GEOrrison's Bili---Debt
Reduction.

WASHINGTON CITY, April IA decision
mas been rendered by the Supreme court Of
the United States in case which involves an
interesting question as to the responsibility
of a national bank for certificates of its stock
fraudulently issued by one of its officers for
his own benefit, without the knowledge of the
directors or other officers of the bank, and
without any record Of the transaction
on the banks books The case is that of Car
oline A Moores, plaintiff in error, against
the Citizens National bank, of Piqua, Ohio,
in error from the circuit court Of the United
States, southern district of Ohio. The facts
of the case are briefly as follows: Mrs.
Aoores, the plaintiff in error, lent a sum of
money to Robert b. Moores for his own use,
and received from him as security for its
repayment Il certificate of stock to an
equal amount i'll the national bank of
which he was cashier, bearing the
corporate seal and genuine signatures
Of himself as cashier and of the president,
and certifying that Mrs. Moores was owner
on the books of the bank on the surrender
OF this certificate" as was in fact provided
by its bylaws. The president and cashier
were authorized to issue new certificates on
the surrender of the old oues, and the presi-
dent had signed and left with the cashier
blank certificates, to be used, if necessary,
Ia his absence, and the certificates
issued by the cashier to Mrs.
MoOres was one of those certificates Robert
B. Moores, cashier. had formerly been, and
appeared on the bank books to be still, the
owner of stock to a larger amount, but there
was no other evidence that he owned sucl
stock, or that he had surrendered any cartifi
cate to Mrs. M0ores, or that the bank has
authorized or ratified, or received any bene
fit from the issue of this certificate The
c1Grt holds: First, that the bank was moi
lahl to Mrs. Moores for the value of thu
certificate. Second, that the action coult
not be supported by the evidence that in one
or two instances stock was issued by thu
rendered and that the share held by Rober
+. Mourrs, and which there was evidence tl
show had been pledged by him to othel
persons before the issue of them to Mrs
Moores, was afterwards transferred
to the president with the approval O
the directors to secure debt due from sale
Robert b. Moores to the bank, withou
further evidence that the issue Of such Ger
tifcates by tine cashier was known or recog
ni2s,d by other officers of the bank Tn
Judgment of the court below is affirmed
Opinion by Justice Gray, Justice Bradley
dissenting. Justice Matthews did not sit i.
this case or take part in the decision, as h
had been of counsel in the court below.

CHURCH MUSIC AT ST. PAUL'S
LONDON


Before tell of Canon Liddon and of
his splendid sermon, may say another
word, and this about church music? |
dare say there is good church music in
America. ! remember to have heard once
good chanting and intoning at Trinity
church, New York, and often used to 90
to Church of the Advent in Boston to Join
in the worship, because of the ecclesiasti-
cal music, But, dear me, what stuff we
have, and for which we pour out our
dollars like rain drops. in most of our
American churchesi was in an Episcop
al Church in New York, and the singing
the whole serviee-to me was almost
profanity. There was the ubiquitous
quartet choir" with the pretentious
soprano" and the rest of it; and such an
operatic performance! Yes, it was all
performance. l was in Unitarian church
in the west, where the singing was all up
and done up in the most achieved fashion,
for the much delighted congeration.
How splendid church music is in all
Englandl 1t is splendid music andis suit
able. The music, in quiet form, and
rendering, is distinctively the unmixedly
church music. The choir at St. Pauls is
one of the very best in England. OF
course it is male choir in surplices, But
the music was heavenly. There were
our leading boys voices, and these boys
fang as if they had just come down out
of the clouds, with an unconsciousness
and an abandon to the spirit of the music
that was divine; nothing for effect, all to
the glory of God. There were not less
than forty voices in the choir, and, as
| always in the cathedral service, the chant
ing was antiphonal. The Gregoran
music was used for the most part, and
nothing could have been more consum-
mately perfect as an expression of Chri-
tian worship than this Church of England
service on this Advent Sunday = Chicago
