THEosoPHY.
Arrival of an apostle of the Mystic Phil
osophy-Two Lectures Announced.

Arrival of an apostle of the Mystic Phil
osophy-Two Lectures Announced.
There are Theosophical Societies in San
Francisco and Oakland and recently they
have entertained, as their guests, one of
most prominent exponents Of The Uni
versal Brotherhood of Humanity" Ber-
tram Keightly, the private secretary Of
Madame Blavatsky, the great exponent Of
theosophical philosophy and mysteries,
and VINO is the gentleman referred TO, ar
rived in this city last evening, and IS the
guest Of Mr.. and Mrs. James l. FelLer,
where ne was last night met by q consider
able company of ladies and gentlemen
gathered to form his acquaintance.
Theosophy is q word used 10 express the
idea Of God wisdom, or the wisdom of the
gods. Its followers are liberals in the
fullest sense; they interfere with no per-
sons religious beliefs, and exact from each
other the broadest tolerance. Theosophy
claims an age equal to that of man HIM
self; il maintains that the pure philosophy
OF all times has been buried beneath the
crust of forms and ceremonies and super
stition that there is vitalizing force and
power which not only imparts the life that
lnheres and moves within forms and causes
them To be. but possesses the native power
of constant growth and progress"
Buddhism figures largely as factor in
its philosophy, but does not confess that as
It's origin. 1t is not claimed 10 be rei-
gion. but that il embraces all truth which
enters into religion, while II exceeds Ia
knowledge all religions. 1t claims 10 ema-
nate from q source higher than man, and
out of which religions have had their birth.
Very largely, however, The0sophy IS
Buddhism esoterically, and hence 1t par
takes more largely of the principles OF that
than of anv otner one. Theosophy insists
upon the supremacy of spirit over matter,
aud for the identity OF both it contends.
Ii holds that spirit uses matter, but that
the latter never uses the former; that spirit
is the intelligence that manipulates matter
TO its own ends and uses. The object OF
this philosophy Is stated to be>enllghten-
ment, that man may be able to so locate
himself with relation TO the laws govern
ing him las best to restore that harmony
and union with nature and the Absolute
which conduces TO the highest happiness
and embodiment, looking toward periee-
ton
Concerning Madame Blavatsky, Mr..
Keightly saws she is Secretary of the chief
society, and while she has written much,
her writings are not creed for Theoso-
phists, nor is she regarded as infallible.
OF course, in these brief lines only few
of the claims of the Theosophists have
been referred to; the philosophy is not
capable of being set forth in any short item.
Mr.. Keightly is announced to lecture at
Pythian Castle Sunday at P. N. and Sun
day evening at $50, the subjects being an
nounced elsewhere.

THERE is strong anti-American feel
ing in Hayti. All attempts TO turn trade
to this country is holly opposed by French
Influences, and any suggestion to favor
American ports of commerce brings on a
wordy assault from French quarters. The
ground for this anti-American feeling is
the fear that We may wish to annex the
Haytian Republic. But since the time of
President Grant, who wished to buy the
twenty-acre Republic, the policy Of the
United States has been positively averse to
such a proposition, and it is not at all
likely that if the little Republic were
rendered to us to-day gratis we would
care TO cucumber ourselves with the hot
bed of discomfort and revolution. 1t is
unlikely that the United States would
even care to go so far as to extend a pro
tectorate over Hayti, unless it were merely
temporary in duration, and simply in
tended to put stop to the barbarity of
the Haytians in their wars. In view of
this fact it is somewhat strange that every
step taken by our merchants to enlarge
commerce with Hayti should be looked
upon with suspicion, and rejected out of
fear that somewhere turks in the attempt a
scheme to Jump the island and plump
it into our national pocket.

THE PUBLIC DRAMATIC TASTE.

1t has been common for some of the
press and a great many of the people to
speak of the taste of the public for dram
attic entertainments as decayed and per-
yerted That plea has been urged per-
sistently in excuse of the managers of the
theaters of the country for their policy of
presenting the abominable farce-comedies,
so called, and host of trashy variety per-
formances, to say nothing of the shows of
character that border upon the indecent.
We have uniformly contended that this is
erroneous Judgment, and that the fault
lies, not with the people, but with the
greed of the managers, who cater to the
lowest taste, and drive the lovers of the
legitimate from the theaters. In other
words, the melodeon has overhowed and
flooded the dramatic stage, and the ex-
cuse has been constantly urged that it is
because of the public demand.
One of the most striking proofs of the
falsity of this theory has been made in this
city in the current week, and on the last
day of the previous week. Two high
minded, clean and legitimate companies,
one presenting legitimate comedy of the
modern order, the other tragedy of SUI
perior character, have drawn the largest
houses night after night, ever known in
the history of the city. Not only have
the lower sections of the principal theater
overhowed night after night, and standing
room been at high premium, but the
galleries have been equally crowded. All
which is proof positive that the public
taste does not demand the vulgar drama
and the senseless extravaganza. That is
to say, the taste which the conscientious
manager ought to cultivate, and that it
should be his aim to conserve. Not only
in this instance, but in scores Of Others the
evidence is undeniable, that if the mana
gers will cater to the legitimate demand
the public will respond, and that, too,
with liberality entirely satisfactory to
the managers purse. So that if it is true
that the cheap music-hall and the variety
melodeon have spewed themselves upon
the legitimate stage, it has not been in
response to decent public demand, but
in answer to the greed of the managers,
who have catered to the vulgar and
crowded the legitimate to the wall.

decent people and acknowledge their pres
ence in her honor.
Very differently did Christine Nilsson
the famous songstress, behave on similar
occasion. A great company of people re-
paired to the depot in this city to greet
her as she passed through. Being re-
quested to appear, she not only did so, but
responding to a polite request to- sing
Home, Sweet Home" she stood upon the
platform of her car and sang the song with
all the feeling and spirit of which she was
capable, and it is safe to say that on no
other occasion had she more appreciative
audience, or one that bore away such
tender and loving memories of her.
But no one has ever expected from Patti
any consideration for the world at large.
The measure other complacence is bounded
by the circumference of the almighty
dollar. So far as shearing her profits in
opera or concert Patti would have gained
in the esteem of the public by complying
with the request Of Edison's agents and
by bowling her Acknowledgements ito the
people who met her at the depot, and in
this country the regard OF the public is
reflected in the door receipts, as managers
well know, by augmented contributions

INTERNATIoNAL eoPyREeET.

It's to be hoped that the copyright bill
now before Congress will be passed. The
measure is one of simple justice TO writer's,
and no objection can be raised to it that
is not answerable on purely logical
grounds. The same reason that justifes
the granting of patents for the protection
and encouragement of inventive genius
justifes home copyright. But there are
infinitely stronger reasons for the erection
Of an international code for the protection
of authors, because writers are read in all
lands. Wherever a nation IS willing to
grant the same protection to our authors
in that foreign country that We guarantee
to its authors in this, we ought to form a
compact with such power on that basis
1t is reciprocity pure and simple. The
House committee has reported the modi-
fed Chace- Breckenridge bill favorably,
and it is probably the best Of all that have
been submitted. This amended bill is
from the pen OF Mr.. Adams of Illinois,
and it simply provides that theft of the
product Of the brain of another shall not
be justified because the author of the
product is not citizen, but the authors Of
nations which do not protect American
publications in their jurisdiction are not
to be considered in the United States as
within the pale Of the international law.
The publishers formerly argued that they
would be Injured by the passage Of the
bill, but this can be substantiated only on
the ground that it is wise to protect them
in pilfering the books of foreign authors.
Of course the publisher who has to pay
nothing for the manuscript he uses is
gamer of greater profits than he who re-
wards the writer. But there is no obliga-
ton upon Government to aid and abet any
one in acts of piracy. Lately the leading
book houses of this country have become
convinced of the justice Of the Authors
League in claiming protection and are
now unopposed to the bill. As matter
of fact the publishing business will be
helped by international copyright, because
piracy Of American works will be pre-
vented and the sales of such abroad viii
be greatly augmented in foreign parts. 1t
has been urged that international copy
right will increase the cost of books to
purchasers. But it has been demonstrated
that it will not augment the cost of stand
ard works nor current works upon science,
art, history and the like. Possibly it will
increase very slightly the cost of the
cheap editions of novels and light litera-
trIre, and ii is to be hoped that it viii, for
the reading taste viii thereby be i'm
proved, since it will be directed in higher
channels.
