EUROPE. Papal Military Recruitments in the United States. THE SULTAN'S PROGRESS IN REFORM. Free Trade or Protection in France and the Imperial Position. The German niall steamship German ia, Captain ffchwensen. from Southampton on the 2#th of May, arrived at this port yesterday evening, bringing a report Is detail of our cable despatches dated to her day ol sailing. The Moniteur de VAlgerte of the 12th May publishes a despatch of the Minister of War to the Governor General respecting a letter of the Archbishop f Algiers on the application of the funds intended (Mr the relief of the necessitous Arabs. In reply Mgr. Lavigerle addressed to Marshal Nlel a letter In which he says No, Monsieur le Mlnlstre, a thousand times no. Not la any respect do 1 desire, either by force, or constraint or persuasion to bring souls to a faith the Ant condition of which is to be free. And what I say here, Monsieur le Ministre, that have I exactly practised now for near a year towards our poor Arabs. Not one of those to whom I have furnished food, clothing and succor of all kinds has heard from me or from those who represent me a single woro resembling either constraint or one of those shameful transactions in which the conscience of the poor is bought for a mouthful of bread. Eighteen centuries, Monsieur le Mlnlstre, have now elapsed during which the Church has freely xerclsed In this world the right which I here claim lor ber, that of doing good. I venture to hope that tt will be no longer denied to her In Algeria, and that the recent painful misunderstandings will lie thus set aside. The sale of the ecclesiastical property In Italy continues to give favorable results. From the 20th October last to the 30th April 16,313 lots were taken. Their estimated value was ninety-two millions, but they realized 12A, being thirty-two more than was expected. The Turkish imperial yacht Sultanle left the Bosnhnruu for AlAiandrntta tn hriiur to f\tnuf ant innnlo the harem of Kamlk Pacha, which had slowly followed hln Kxcellency from Raffdad. The Saltan of Turkey ha* taken the wise step of Manning the whole or the Aod/a*. or Junior memben of the inertia, of Starat'oul. These enthusiasts lay be said to represent the fiercest Mussulman bigotry of the capital, and are understood to have Home month* ago provided themaelves with arms on a Male of evidently combined completeness far beyond the requirement* of ordinary theological equipment. . In the English House of Common* on the 'Jflth of May Sir II. Kawilnson asked the Secretary of State far Foreign Affairs whether he ha<l had any information of a proposed renewal of Russian hostilities against Bokhara, and if so whether he could state the aim and object of such hostilities. Lord Stanley said that In the Journal rle St. totrrsOmiro of the 23d of April there Is a statement that i» small Russian force bad been sent across the Hokharian frontier to pat down some trllies who had given some trouble to the population within the Russian territory. It is aid that the force hod been effectual for It? object, and I am not aware that there have lieen auy new diaturbancea. ROME.

Your readers are aware that a certain number of volunteers from the United States and Oanaaa are already In the Pope's service, wearing the Papal 2onave uniform, but as enthusiasm for the cause of ttae Church seems likely to luduee great numbers taore of young men to engage in the -ame crusade, the government of his Holiness has deemed it ad- vteable to Inform these volunteer* upon wlmt terms they wlil l»e received before they leave the New World for the Old. On the 21st Inst. Cardinal Riimabo forwarded to the Catholic bishops In the t'niu*d state* a I,at in clrcnlar Informing those prelate* that the Holy Father * bad deigned to accept the offer they had made hitn of sending soldiers to recruit his army, but only on condition that these soldiers shall be sent out to Rome, maintained here for three rears ami then sent back to America, entirely at the expense of the said bishops, or rather of the faithrui who will contribute pecuniary offerings for the defence of the Holy Sec. The circular Is very short. In it the Pope, through Cardinal Barnabo, recommends the bishops to choose persons "tilted by their morals una piety to become defenders of the Apostolic See." To this Latin circular is joined a prospectus in Italian from the Ministry of Arms (or W ar imice, as It would be termed in every other countrj i, stating that the battalion of American volunteers is ro be esapMMI of not more than one thousand tueu. to be recruited In the Northern and Southern States: the tuen to be all Catholics, aged from eighteen to thirty yearn: that tfcey are to bear the bat|tier of the Holv See: that they most bring with i hem the futids necessary for their maintenance; that Ueueral l.ewis is named Lieutenant Colonel of this corps and Mr. Itaudot Major. I am Informed that not more than l&o.ooo francs have been subscribed as yet towards the formation and maintenance of the battalion of American volunteers; but no doubt the circular of Cardinal Hamabo. 'When published by the catholic bishops of the I'nited States In their respective dioceses, will arouse the piety of their parishoners to more ample donations, without which the Pontifical American battalion will never be paraded in the piazza of St. Peter's to receive the apostolic blessing of his Holiness. The following Is an exact statement of the different nationalities comprised In what may be termed his Holiness' crack corps:.French. 1..10I; Belgians. Osti; Dutchmen, l.eiu; Komans and l'ontlflcal subjects. 167; Modenese. 12; Neapolitans, 14; i'uscaus, 6: Swiss, 10; Austrian*. 7; Prussians, si; (leruiaus, Tl; Spaniards, ,>:i: Portuguese. «; Kngltsh, 60; Irish, 101: Scotch, 10; Russians, a: Poles, 12; South Sea Islander, 1; Maltese, 3; Americans, 14; Indian, 1; African, l; Peruvian, 1; Mexican, l: Circassian, |; canauians, i:m>.in an, 4,me iiomans comprise the musicians of the several battalions <>f Zouaves, which explains ihe fact uf there being so'many or them in what is essentially a foreign coifs. Last night the Count of Olrgentl, brother of the ex-King of Naples, arrived here with his bride, Donna Isabella, Infanta of Spain, topav their rnspecN to the Pope l>efore pwwwlM to KwttMrUlM lad Vienna and to receive his blessing upon their union, the day selected for their marriage having been i he 13th of May, in ommemoratlon of Pio Nouo's birth dav. Their royal highnesses arrived by sea at Clvita Vecchia and will re-embark at the same port. Sunday a select party, comprising the French Ambassador, was Invited by the Pio ostinn Company to witness the commencement of the drainage of the low lands between the Tiber und Torre Palermo. In the territory of Ostia. The experiment succeeded perfectly, but torrents of rniu rendered the day very unenjoyable. The other principal events of the week have been tbe solemn audience granted on Monday to the new Cameriengo of the Holy Konun Church, Cardinal De Angetis, and the formal consignment to lus Endnence of the rod of otlke bl the Popt, the insignia of a power only second to that of Ins Holiness, and which becomes sovereign at the demise of the Pontiff until the election or a new one. Tuesday Pio Nono attended the funeral obsequies of the late quondam rpt»etl)nus. but recently submissive Cardinal d'Andrea, over whose mortal spoils his Holiness performed the customary rites of absolution, covering with an apostolic benediction the memory of Ids momentary misdeeds. Thursday the annual fontitlcal high mass to celebrate Ascension Day was attended by the Supreme Pontiff, in full gala equipage. The Irregular, but al ways picturesque piazza of St. John *1.ateran was crowded with spectators and applicants for the Pope's blessing and scramblers lor the spiritual {>ri»es of plenary indulgence, which, duly imparted n two formal bulls, his Holiness threw down from the balcony above the grand ponlco of Pope Clement, according to traditional custom.

The fxrtiinn »t tlip Legislative Assembly on the commercial policy of Franco were closed most triumphantly by M. Mother. Noi wlthsrnnrtlnK all M. Thiers' (ttpiomnry it wan the Minister of State, ami ot he, who had the lust word. M. Knnhcr Is more than a shade cleverer than M. Thiers. The lacta br< "tfht fxrwuri) bjf the Minister proved that tli# NKW Y(J Kieral treaties between England and other Stales were tfce first steps made towards releasing Frame from bonds which nave to long kept her down and made her bo backward tn commercial enterprises. He then proceeded to demolish all the edifices of figure* piled up by the protectionist leader*. After his able, calm and sober development* M. Pouter Quertier could hot wipe hia forehead; he even once left hla bench, and on returning maintained that hla figures were correct, that he could prove them aud would do ao; but fortunateiy be dia not, for such statistics, prove nothing at a Parliamentary sitting, where the attention of the members cannot follow long tariSh or Investigate numerical operations without some quiet and preliminary study. The tossing about of the customs millions! from one orator to the other la futile where uo reliable document Is produced after investigation. M. Uoulier therelore resumed his inquiry into me economic couduiou of the country, snowing mat me maintenance of the present tariffs as they were established by the consent and concurrence of the Chamber wan easenual io the prosperity of trade. He watt of opinion with M. i-oreade de la Roquette, the Minister of Commerce, that French manufacture*, agriculture and commerce had panned through a trying and temporary crisis, but that the new system would eventually be considered aa one of the glories of the present regime. M. Thiers became most excitable. His interruptions were frequent, and he was allowed to interrupt pretty equably, according to the tactics which 1 pointed out lately. His monopoly of interruption, in fact, made another speech from him impossible. There was some foundation for his excitement on the whole. He had formerly predicted that the slightest diminution of the duties on woollen tissues would bring about the absolute ruin of the French trade. He was now compelled to hear that the exportation of these articles had Increased by one hundred and twenty millions yearly. It was Worse when documents came to prove that the development given to French commerce had risen from 4,ooo,uoo,ooof. in lotto to 8tooo,ooo,ooof. in it>oe. There certainly was not a weak point In M. Kouher's speech, but there was a deplorable lapsus. He ably refuted the accusation concerning the unprotected state of native industry; he answered complaints or halfway reforms; he energetically opposed the abolition of the treaties; he promised that the customs tariift in the future should be inquired into by the Legislature and submitted to the appreciation of that body.this latter point is the only concession, In fact, which the protectionists and M. Thiers have obtained.but he did not deign allude to the political side of the question, a point so fervently advocated by M. Emile Olivier and so totally disregarded by tiie Minister of State because, it 1s the knotty point. the point on which general interest centres.the question of peace and war. This is the evil, as, in plainer terms, which of the two counsels are to predominate in the Cabinet, that of the clergy and M. Kouher, or that of the Marshal? The divergence of opinion between these counsellors is but a secondary consideration as far as the nation is concerned; but what Is not immaterial Is the Indecision caused, the oscillation felt iu consequence thereof by neighboring States. During the last days of the free trade debates another question of equal Importance was being discussed at the Senate.that of rellglou, or rather of the deuegatlou of religion by prolessors In the higher spheres of public instruction. M. Duruy and the Cardinals were, in unparliamentary words, "having it out." The Minister of Public Instruction has at length, and in this sitting, declared that any tendency towards materialism in the doctrines taught shall be stopped by the proscription of the class, or course, in which such principles shall be advanced. The result of this is that the doctors think their case very hard and themselves much to be pitied for not being allowed to propagate their disbelief In the immortality of the soul. The Cardinals Donnet and Uonuechose were particularly virulent, especially the latter. Many of M. Duruy's institutions having met with their censure, this was an excellent occasion furnished by M. Duru.v's dithcultles with the doctors at universities and upper schools to comc down on him. Their wholesale anathemas on science were abundant. M. Duruy's avocations as a Christian but ln>eral thinker, combined with those ol a Minister oP i'ubiic Instruction, make ttie duties he Ini* t<» ner- lorrn of a delicate nature, and up to the present his rate ha* beeu Ui content those whom tie has dishatistit'U and vie versa. It is likely that, notwithstanding nil til* efforts to achieve what lie considers Just and equitable by way of eontlnlug the clergy on one hand and stopping atheism on the other, few voices will be raised in his favor beyond his own and the Emperor's, with whom religious toleration is a conviction aud a glorious system. Want of space aud abundance of matter will not admit of long comment on the affair of Tunis, which is clearing up satisfactorily to Kngland, France aud Italy. It Is supposed that the line of conduct adopted hy the Minister of Foreign Affairs was not adhered to by the Emperor, and that in consequence of some neglect at the commencement of difficulties M. de Mousuer would resign his office to M. Drouyn de Lhuys. These rumors were unfounded as far as the latter was concerned. Should any change occur in the Foreign Department M. de Lavalette would be M. de Moustier's probable successor, and tbe name of U. Drouyn de Lhuys was only put forward because hut recent interview with the Emperor on agricultural topics coincided with the coercive measures advocated with regard to Tunis by M. de Moustier. Agriculture has lately much occupied tbe Emperor, and he has consented to close tbe show at Kouen on the 3lst inst. It may not be tbe place where the head of the State is most liked after the dcleat of the member for that locality, M. Fouyer Quertler, but It Is supposed the peaceful speech not made at Orleans will here be pronounced. It may be truly said that wheuever the Emperor leaves the Tullories he is supposed either to carry war or peace in his mantle. The maritime exposition at Havre, which opens on the 1st of June, Is looked forward to with much satisfaction. It is to be a very vast affair. Frince Napoleon has consented to be named honorary preBldeut. The products are not exclusively for the use of tbe navy, other branches of Industry will also coml>ete, but ariteles calculated to perpetuate great activity in the docks are tbe principal features. Thus the building, installation, arming and rigging of ships, hshlng tackle and instruments uaed in fishing. goods imported and exported, maritime chemlstrv, Ac., arc so various that the whole Exposition dues not include less than four groups aud twentysix clasxea.

The collision with the brig Ocean Wave, lor which the libel had been filed, occurred on the 3d of October, 1868, whereas the company had not been formed until the 8th or that month.

Mary Joyce, i'Uiintlff and Appellant, vs. Benjamin Joyce el al., Defendants and Respondents..Plaintiff appealed from a decree of tbe Surrogate of this county, made September 11, 1867, refusing to admit to probate a paper propounded as the last will of Jonathan 8. Joyce, the husband of the ap. pellant, and dated February 12, 1866. By this will the testator Rave all his property to hta wife and appointed her executrix. The win was contested on probate on the ground that It had t>een revoked by a subsequent will made in 1S63. The defendants did not produce this last alleged will, but claimed that It bad been destroyed, and brought as a witness on this subject a young woman.Charlotte Vandervoort.who for some time occupied an equivocal poaition in the Household of the testator. Mr. Tracy, by whom the will was stated to have been drawn, testified that he drew a will in 18&'<, but the execution was not established, nor could he give the contents of It. Miss Vandervoort testified that the testator, a few years liefore his death, handed her a paper and called it his will, saying, "There, you can see, IiOttle, what I have done." He then directed her to read it carefully and afterwards destroy it, which she did by burning It three days afterwards. During the interval she had read it over three times, and recollected that it said, "I bequeath to Charlotte A. Vandervoort all my real estate, personal property and effects," tiut no further, and that It then went on to stati that he divided the property between his wife and witness, and at the death of testator s wife her share was to revert to .Miss Vandervoort. Witness did not know at the time that a revocation clause was necessary to revoke a former will. i he court after argument reversed the order of the surrogate, directing the li-auungof issues for trial before a jury on the question whether the last nniued will was made and executed in due form of iaw and whether such will contained a clause of revocation.

A Question a* to the Proper Caatodlina of (be Board of Kxdse Moneys.Decrease of the Mortality Table*.Increase of Drowning Casualties.Methods of Resuscitating the Drowned Suggested.The Sanitary Superintendent's Report. This Board held its usual weekly meeting yesterday. A lljm embers of the Board wore present. The President, Mr. (ieorge B. Lincoln, occupied the chair. A communication was read from D. B. Eaton, the legal advisor of the Board, In reference to the communications received at the last meeting, from the Comptroller of the city and the Counsel to the Corporation, with regard to the disposition of the moneys collected by the Board of Excise. The Corporation Counsel claims that the moneys collected by that Board should tie given to the Sinking Fund and not to the Commissioners of Charities and Correction. Mr. Eaton gave it as his opinion that It Is not the duty of the Board or Its officers to decide on the matter, it 1h safe, however, to hold the moneys tuns collected until the question Is raised and.decided by the courts. It is presumed that in any application made to the court by either of the same claimants notice will be given to the other, so that, the question may be conclusively determined In a single proceeding. The communication was received and copies were ordered to be forwarded to the Corporation Counsel and the Commissioners of Charities and Correction. The weekly communication from the Registrar of Vital Statistics was also received and ordered on tile. It is aa follows:. Metropolitan Board op Hbai.Tn,? Btrkau or Vitai.

Ill thli benignant but very brief period of early summer human life enjova a degree ol security that la worthy alike of tbankfulueaa and practical Inquiry for the causes. Home of these causes are too important to be forgotten by sanitary oMcera.

Last week the mean was 65 degrees Fahrenheit, the average humidity H7 and the mean barometric pressure equal to SO. 11 Inches Tlicm' conditions of the atmosphere, favorable as they are to life, were equalled by the great advantage* of outdoor life In which almost the entire population of the cities indulged, ami eHppcialy, too, by the advantage! of purity of the cltv atmosphere Incidental to the unusual clemming by the Hooding rain tormi of the previous three week*. Only UtS infants under one year, or 27.60 per cent of the total mortality, perished in New York last week, and only <5 such Infante or 26.04 per cent died In'Brooklyn. 46.84 per cent and 51.04 per cent respectively of the dentin* In the cities occurred in the Unit live years of life. Mortality In public Institution* wa* scarcely less than usual. In New York their total of death* wa» 76; 41 of this number were at the Island asylums and hospitals. There were 190 deaths In tenement houses and only XS In all other city dwellings. Of the 20 deaths by acailnlina 15 were tenement children. The death rate In the total population wa* nevertheless at a minimum, It being 23 in 1,000 In New York and only 16.86 In Brooklyn, the centum of 1P65 being the basis of estimation. The Coroners made returns upon 2H inquest* In New York. 7 by drowning. There were 4 deaths by drowulng in Brooklyn, and the populous watei sides of other portions of Kings county and of the shores of Westchester, Queens and Richmond counties witnessed similarly fatal accidents. As the best methods for rescuing or resuscitating the drowned can be readily understood and practised, It certainly seeins deslra bje that a methodical ettort should be made lu save some of the precious life that Is needlessly lost bv drowning. This la the more -necessary because of the extent of the watersides within the Metropolitan district. These exposed fronts amount to more than 84 miles in New York cltv, not Including the excess by serrated piers, and to about 1(1 miles In Brooklyn, 33 mi.es lu other parts of Kings and lu Queens counties, 30 miles on Staten Island and not less than 70 miles In Westchester oounty. The Central Park Commissioners have most com mendably placed In each police odicer's book In the Park a copy of Ur. Silvester's "Kules for Saving the Drowned." As this la the season when, In the absence of free public baths, great numbers are exposed to the risk of drowulng, It Is plainly a duty to make timely efforts to prevent as manv of these unfortunate deaths as possible.

The Xarder Trials In Worresier. The telegraph has announced the trial of Hiep ard at Worcester, Mat**., for the murder of his wife, his conviction of murder in the secoud degree to which he pleaded guilty, and his sentence to the State Prison for life. The following is a portion of the testimony, furnished by a correspondent of ttw Boston Heral<l:. Mrs. Elizabeth P. fireenwood, the mother of Mrs. Marcus Curtis, was at her daughter's Mouse at the time of the shooting In question. She testified sutc stantlstlv iih follows :.I am thn mother of Mr*. Cur. I tlh, and was at tier house on the Mtli ami 16th of last November; tny daughter wan confined with child, and Laura A. Hhepard wan there doing housework; I was at the house all of the Kith, and on that mornfng "aw the prisoner lor the first time; lie came into the kitchen about seven o'clock in the morning; Laura anil f were In the pantry; shepard said he wtuitiil to aee her, ami she went out Into the kitcheu; he said "<;ood morning," but Laura did not answer, when Shepard said, "fi.n you, you needn't speak.'' The prisoner here Interrupted the witness and requested her to repent, which she did, wnen shepanl angrily exclaimed. 'It's a lie it's a lie !** Chief Justice Chapman Informed the prisoner that he would have the privilege to .say all he desired at. the proper time, to which Shepanl responded, quite fiercely, "Well, l want the truth truth truth !'* After this interruption the «ttiiens continued;. The next I henrd was the report of a pistol; I was then In the sitting room where my sister w as sick abed; when the flrsl shot was Bred Laura Imd just passed through the door; she ran to the tied and hid liehind it. dropping upon the Boor; hhepard followed her and went to the head of the bed; my sister cried out, "Oh, dou't shoot me," to which he said, "lion't he frightened; I am going to shoot Laura." Shepanl passed around the lied; Laura got up; he seized her, when she screamed, "I will love you I will love vou .Hhepard said, "L>.n you." and discharged tMe pistol. Out 1 did not see where the hall struck; thev went Into the entry and I ran out for help; when I came hack I saw Shepanl at the door talking with Mr. Ldwui Curtis, the old gentleman, and heard him say something about "that girl:" hhepard went away with both hamis in his pocket®, and soon started on the ruu; when 1 returned to the house I found Laura lying dead upon the Moor. Trior to the adjournment of the court for the dav a motion was made by the counsel m behalf of Silas James that he might be tried separately from Charles T. James, iwsed principally upon certain evidences which the government will use in relation to Charles, contained in a confession made bv him while conllned. The counsel consider that tlie confession. should the two Jameses lie tried together, will prejudice the right* of Silas. The court, after hearing both shies of the question, took the matter under advisement, reserving their decision. The 1'nnr of l>enrnn Andrew*. |Kroui me evening Telegram oi je*iordaj.)

[From the Round Table, June 6-1 The New York Hkkai.d printed the other day an unusually thoughtful and well expressed article on Ul'Winu nAr crmmutoiwi- unmu t\f tho iminta nf which If not especially original, are worth more uttenUon than they appear commonly to receive. It Is palpably true, if not generally acknowledged, that many "party editors mean l»y consistency a persistence In one course, whether t ight or wroug, and adhering to certain political dogmas, whether applicable or not to the circumstances of-the times." The usefulness or political writers, considered as public Instructors, Is undoubtedly much diminished by that incapacity for juiliclal speculation which is so apt to attend ana to grow upon the pledged ailhcrcnts ol a particular party. Very seldom ludced does it happen that all the measures of one party are the best auil all those of another the worst possible for lie public good. Yet such is the usual external pressure that writers who are avowed advocates of either party are constrained to insist on no less, so that the public kuow beforehand that any proposal whatever, let its intrinsic merits be what they may, If brought forward by one party will be sweeplngly and unhesitatingly condemned by the . organs of the other. The public is thus accustomed to regard such a sysfent as a matter of course, and Its morality pusses unquestioned, lor the mo: t part, by universal consent. It follows, then, when a publicist happens to possess the couruge or the patriotism to defeud or adopt a measure repm-'huia to hitparty he is sure to tie denounced as a renegade or trimmer. un<l Ills inconsistency" is taken for granted without the least examination into the moral or intellectual merits of the charge. The Hfkai.i in tlie article we have mentioued, proceeds to vindicate It* position as follows:. If we saw a party pursuing a count calculated to Involve , the country In civil w.tr we «hould oppose II nrilli ni> out might; but IF war shouid come In spite <»f our ellorta and tb« Integrity of the country war* threatened w« xhoulo i;o Willi tue very party we bad opposed to save tlie IIIn ol tlo' nation. Ami this, In taut, aa li well known,ha* been our coorae. Th« radical press was consistent In Yuicltie. civil war .toil then carrying it out, and the copperhead press was coi.sli tent in oppoaiug the Interests ol the republic arter win commenced. Which was nujst consistent as regards the welfare ol the country, they or we, under the circumstancesKveiy right thinking person will sav the II kra n was consistent In the proper sense of the worn and the party press Inconsistent. There is a logical foice in this which people wno do noc like the IIuuai.u will be reluctant to acknowledge, but which hose who can see any propriety in striving to be fair minded men as well as coiisisi.cn: politicians will scarcely deny. There were thousands of erly opposed tj the political attitude of Lite I r goverument, but who yet strained every nerve in :lie field and elsewhere to prevent mat government's destruction. There are ihousauds who heartily advocated universal emancipation, hut who now are ho Inconsistent as to disbelieve in the policy of universal negro Hiitfruge. Such persons, whether th< y .-.peak In private or through the press, are either Limited as backsliders, ren^.'adea aud apostates to ire* do in or arc more gen treated as being "Inconsistent." Society encouru, s this species of malversation for reasons which arc very easy to understand. Political power Is enjoyed in this country by a great many uneducated or partly educated people, who are readily Impressed and persuaded.as such people always have been from time immemorial.by plaicitile cries of a levelling, subversive or revolutionary character. The rights of mail, universal brotherhood, the overthrow of tyranny are specious catchwords, which, often utterly unmeaning or totally Inapplicable as regards th'' present business in hand, are always safely depended upon by those who make a prollt out of popular Ignorance. The multitude, in ot>edience to laws as old as the lulls and seas, will always, up to the turning point of relief from anarchy through accepted despotism, prefer a bad government, m which all have a voice, to good government directed by the wiser lew. Not the ostensible end ol the best possible management of public affairs, but the munugeiuent, good or bad, lu which all have a share, is the ideal of the masses who habitually, incorrigabiy, and Inevitably confuse meuns aud ends. That this should readily be taken advantage of by deintvgoges In a democratic countr.\ is perfectly natural; aud in fact we constanly see men whoso Insanity it is to make themselves at all costs conspicuous, going,from extreme to extreme, shouting wildly to the people to follow, aud spurring the peop.e to revile and to punish all who dissent from their teachings. Sensible Americans are much ashamed of Mr. Ueorge Francis Train aud wonder that a journal of the pretensions of the World should be so foolish us to print his preposterous ravings; but yet Mr. Train is only the legitimate outgrowth, the ultimate irull, or social and political conditions whose graduated products may be pointed out lu other uien, "leaders among the people," who are scarcely less ridiculous than himself. The lesson unconsciously taught by all these demagogues or pseudo-demagogues is clear. They teach that It Is oniy needful to be i ouslstent in trusting to tne uttermost degree the Milllbilliy and blindness of the crowd, not only to es'iibltsh a conspicuous position, but also the privilege authoritatively to denounce all others us inconsistent and deserving of tue party taboo who refuse to go to the furthest extremes of extravagance iind folly. The seven republican Senators who voted to acquit the President are, of course, in the eyes of such in- simoons, very iiiic uiuneis ui lucousisicrr.'y. wc arc told tliut some negroes 111 Washington collected in a church lately and prayed thut cixidi^n punishment from ats>ve might bo meted out to those recreant legislators "wlui. alter takln' a solemn ii.it', voted to acquit ile prlsouer." Ami tills I* just the sort ol spirit ami the sort of knowledge on which uto demagogic Hpint depends in order to carry out Its purposes The cry for universal education ami diffused intelligence, xo often raised by journals advocating extreme opinions, is sulildal if nor disingenuous; for If the stundarl* ot education ami intelligence were really advanced among us the whole trauo and minim d'etre of sucli journals would l»e <li ueautiy with; not because tlieir work as popular educators would have been accomplished, lint becu .se their Inaueueeau strength positively depemis upm. the prevalence of that Ignorance which tuey ul;< o deprecate. To understand tills we have onl. jk ourselves, as Illustration-, how long a paper ike the Church Union would live in our own t.'iuiii". ige, or how Iouk a paper like the VrUnme would live in the English Oxford, only by becotnlmr reii'y inconsistent" would these sheets be able to re..mi their vitality; they oertaimy could not continue 10 exist by continuing to be what they are, for tliey live by the weakness that Is without rather than i»y the strength that is within, and would perisn il life depended upon the secr-lion of Individuality, heroism and independence of thought, without exterior aid or countenance. Journalists, on the other iiand, of a different type.men of catholic spirit an eclectic liberality, wen who have too much self-respect to depend for their status upon the paeons and prejudices of the Ignorant. will frequently dare, like Wellington or Peel or Ulsraeil. or these same seveu senators. to tnink and act for tli. mselves In directions traversing or directly opposite to their former paths, tlms rtskiug the reproach of Inconsistency, or even the imputauon of dishonesty, for the sake of a well established internal conviction.a conviction that Is not established by arguments drawn from other men's prejudices, but from their own moral nature. On the whole It is perhaps true that what Is commonly termed consistency is generally overrated, and this especially by the Ignorant. Obstinacy and party aeai get credit often for virtues when they better deserve to be stigmatised as vices. The truly progressive soul Is lu< 'insistent always in the sense of knowing more, and so i>elntt wiser to-day than icterday. If would Is* well for us all If such souis were more numerous and If a greater number of our Journals were directed by tliem, for surely an Independent and progressive, rather than a mere part* and "consistent," press is the best moral am) intellectual educator for the pe iple.

THE SULTAN'S PROGRESS IN REFORM.

Free Trade or Protection in Franceand the Imperial Position.

The German niall steamship German ia, Captainffchwensen. from Southampton on the 2#th of May,arrived at this port yesterday evening, bringing a

report Is detail of our cable despatches dated to herday ol sailing.The Moniteur de VAlgerte of the 12th May publishesa despatch of the Minister of War to the GovernorGeneral respecting a letter of the Archbishopf Algiers on the application of the funds intended

(Mr the relief of the necessitous Arabs. In replyMgr. Lavigerle addressed to Marshal Nlel a letter Inwhich he saysNo, Monsieur le Mlnlstre, a thousand times no. Not

la any respect do 1 desire, either by force, or constraintor persuasion to bring souls to a faith theAnt condition of which is to be free. And what I sayhere, Monsieur le Ministre, that have I exactly practisednow for near a year towards our poor Arabs.Not one of those to whom I have furnished food,clothing and succor of all kinds has heard from meor from those who represent me a singleworo resembling either constraint or one ofthose shameful transactions in which theconscience of the poor is bought for a mouthfulof bread. Eighteen centuries, Monsieur le Mlnlstre,have now elapsed during which the Church has freelyxerclsed In this world the right which I here claim

lor ber, that of doing good. I venture to hope thattt will be no longer denied to her In Algeria, and thatthe recent painful misunderstandings will lie thus setaside.The sale of the ecclesiastical property In Italy continuesto give favorable results. From the 20th Octoberlast to the 30th April 16,313 lots were taken.

Their estimated value was ninety-two millions, butthey realized 12A, being thirty-two more than was expected.The Turkish imperial yacht Sultanle left the Bosnhnruufor AlAiandrntta tn hriiur to f\tnuf ant innnlo

the harem of Kamlk Pacha, which had slowly followedhln Kxcellency from Raffdad.The Saltan of Turkey ha* taken the wise step of

Manning the whole or the Aod/a*. or Junior membenof the inertia, of Starat'oul. These enthusiastslay be said to represent the fiercest Mussulman

bigotry of the capital, and are understood to haveHome month* ago provided themaelves with arms ona Male of evidently combined completeness far beyondthe requirement* of ordinary theological equipment.

. In the English House of Common* on the 'Jflth ofMay Sir II. Kawilnson asked the Secretary of Statefar Foreign Affairs whether he ha<l had any informationof a proposed renewal of Russian hostilitiesagainst Bokhara, and if so whether he could statethe aim and object of such hostilities. Lord Stanleysaid that In the Journal rle St. totrrsOmiro of the23d of April there Is a statement that i» small Russianforce bad been sent across the Hokharian frontier topat down some trllies who had given some troubleto the population within the Russian territory. It is

aid that the force hod been effectual for It? object,and I am not aware that there have lieen auy newdiaturbancea.

Rome, May 23. 1*88.Your readers are aware that a certain number of

volunteers from the United States and Oanaaa are

already In the Pope's service, wearing the Papal2onave uniform, but as enthusiasm for the cause ofttae Church seems likely to luduee great numberstaore of young men to engage in the -ame crusade,the government of his Holiness has deemed it ad-vteable to Inform these volunteer* upon wlmt termsthey wlil l»e received before they leave the New Worldfor the Old.On the 21st Inst. Cardinal Riimabo forwarded to

the Catholic bishops In the t'niu*d state* a I,at in clrcnlarInforming those prelate* that the Holy Father* bad deigned to accept the offer they had made hitn

of sending soldiers to recruit his army, but only on

condition that these soldiers shall be sent out toRome, maintained here for three rears ami then sentback to America, entirely at the expense of the saidbishops, or rather of the faithrui who will contributepecuniary offerings for the defence of the HolySec. The circular Is very short. In it the Pope, throughCardinal Barnabo, recommends the bishops tochoose persons "tilted by their morals una piety tobecome defenders of the Apostolic See." To thisLatin circular is joined a prospectus in Italian fromthe Ministry of Arms (or W ar imice, as It would betermed in every other countrj i, stating that the battalionof American volunteers is ro be esapMMI ofnot more than one thousand tueu. to be recruited Inthe Northern and Southern States: the tuen to be allCatholics, aged from eighteen to thirty yearn: thattfcey are to bear the bat|tier of the Holv See: thatthey most bring with i hem the futids necessary fortheir maintenance; that Ueueral l.ewis is namedLieutenant Colonel of this corps and Mr. ItaudotMajor.

I am Informed that not more than l&o.ooo francshave been subscribed as yet towards the formationand maintenance of the battalion of American volunteers;but no doubt the circular of Cardinal Hamabo.'When published by the catholic bishops of the I'nitedStates In their respective dioceses, will arouse thepiety of their parishoners to more ample donations,without which the Pontifical American battalionwill never be paraded in the piazza of St.Peter's to receive the apostolic blessing of his Holiness.The following Is an exact statement of the different

nationalities comprised In what may be termed hisHoliness' crack corps:.French. 1..10I; Belgians. Osti;Dutchmen, l.eiu; Komans and l'ontlflcal subjects.167; Modenese. 12; Neapolitans, 14; i'uscaus, 6:Swiss, 10; Austrian*. 7; Prussians, si; (leruiaus, Tl;Spaniards, ,>:i: Portuguese. «; Kngltsh, 60; Irish, 101:Scotch, 10; Russians, a: Poles, 12; South Sea Islander,1; Maltese, 3; Americans, 14; Indian, 1; African,l; Peruvian, 1; Mexican, l: Circassian, |;canauians, i:m>.in an, 4,me iiomans comprisethe musicians of the several battalions <>f Zouaves,which explains ihe fact uf there being so'many orthem in what is essentially a foreign coifs.

Last night the Count of Olrgentl, brother of theex-King of Naples, arrived here with his bride,Donna Isabella, Infanta of Spain, topav their rnspecNto the Pope l>efore pwwwlM to KwttMrUlM ladVienna and to receive his blessing upon their union,the day selected for their marriage having been i he13th of May, in ommemoratlon of Pio Nouo's birthdav. Their royal highnesses arrived by sea at ClvitaVecchia and will re-embark at the same port.Sunday a select party, comprising the French Ambassador,was Invited by the Pio ostinn Company to

witness the commencement of the drainage of thelow lands between the Tiber und Torre Palermo. Inthe territory of Ostia. The experiment succeededperfectly, but torrents of rniu rendered the day veryunenjoyable.The other principal events of the week have been

tbe solemn audience granted on Monday to the newCameriengo of the Holy Konun Church, CardinalDe Angetis, and the formal consignment to lus Endnenceof the rod of otlke bl the Popt, the insigniaof a power only second to that of Ins Holiness, andwhich becomes sovereign at the demise of the Pontiffuntil the election or a new one.Tuesday Pio Nono attended the funeral obsequiesof the late quondam rpt»etl)nus. but recently

submissive Cardinal d'Andrea, over whose mortalspoils his Holiness performed the customary rites ofabsolution, covering with an apostolic benedictionthe memory of Ids momentary misdeeds.Thursday the annual fontitlcal high mass to celebrateAscension Day was attended by the Supreme

Pontiff, in full gala equipage. The Irregular, but always picturesque piazza of St. John *1.ateran wascrowded with spectators and applicants for thePope's blessing and scramblers lor the spiritual{>ri»es of plenary indulgence, which, duly impartedn two formal bulls, his Holiness threw down fromthe balcony above the grand ponlco of Pope Clement,according to traditional custom.

Paris, May 30, 1W.The fxrtiinn »t tlip Legislative Assembly

on the commercial policy of Franco were closed mosttriumphantly by M. Mother. Noi wlthsrnnrtlnK all M.Thiers' (ttpiomnry it wan the Minister of State, amiot he, who had the lust word. M. Knnhcr Is more

than a shade cleverer than M. Thiers. The lactabr< "tfht fxrwuri) bjf the Minister proved that tli#

NKW Y(JKieral treaties between England and other Staleswere tfce first steps made towards releasing Framefrom bonds which nave to long kept her down andmade her bo backward tn commercial enterprises.He then proceeded to demolish all theedifices of figure* piled up by the protectionistleader*. After his able, calm and soberdevelopment* M. Pouter Quertier could hot wipehia forehead; he even once left hla bench, and on returningmaintained that hla figures were correct,that he could prove them aud would do ao; but fortunateiybe dia not, for such statistics, provenothing at a Parliamentary sitting, where the attentionof the members cannot follow long tariShor Investigate numerical operations without somequiet and preliminary study. The tossing about ofthe customs millions! from one orator to the other lafutile where uo reliable document Is produced afterinvestigation. M. Uoulier therelore resumed his inquiryinto me economic couduiou of the country,snowing mat me maintenance of the present tariffsas they were established by the consent and concurrenceof the Chamber wan easenual io the prosperityof trade. He watt of opinion with M. i-oreade de laRoquette, the Minister of Commerce, that Frenchmanufacture*, agriculture and commerce had pannedthrough a trying and temporary crisis, but that thenew system would eventually be considered aa oneof the glories of the present regime.M. Thiers became most excitable. His interruptionswere frequent, and he was allowed to interrupt

pretty equably, according to the tactics which 1pointed out lately. His monopoly of interruption,in fact, made another speech from him impossible.There was some foundation for his excitement on thewhole. He had formerly predicted that the slightestdiminution of the duties on woollen tissues wouldbring about the absolute ruin of the French trade.He was now compelled to hear that the exportationof these articles had Increased by one hundred andtwenty millions yearly. It was Worse when documentscame to prove that the development given toFrench commerce had risen from 4,ooo,uoo,ooof. inlotto to 8tooo,ooo,ooof. in it>oe.There certainly was not a weak point In M.

Kouher's speech, but there was a deplorable lapsus.He ably refuted the accusation concerning the unprotectedstate of native industry; he answered complaintsor halfway reforms; he energetically opposedthe abolition of the treaties; he promised that thecustoms tariift in the future should be inquired intoby the Legislature and submitted to the appreciationof that body.this latter point is the only concession,In fact, which the protectionists and M. Thiers haveobtained.but he did not deign allude to the politicalside of the question, a point so fervently advocatedby M. Emile Olivier and so totally disregarded bytiie Minister of State because, it 1s the knotty point.the point on which general interest centres.the questionof peace and war.This is the evil, as, in plainer terms, which of the

two counsels are to predominate in the Cabinet,that of the clergy and M. Kouher, or that of the Marshal?The divergence of opinion between thesecounsellors is but a secondary consideration as faras the nation is concerned; but what Is not immaterialIs the Indecision caused, the oscillation felt iuconsequence thereof by neighboring States.During the last days of the free trade debates anotherquestion of equal Importance was being discussedat the Senate.that of rellglou, or rather of

the deuegatlou of religion by prolessors In thehigher spheres of public instruction. M. Duruy andthe Cardinals were, in unparliamentary words,"having it out." The Minister of Public Instructionhas at length, and in this sitting, declared that anytendency towards materialism in the doctrinestaught shall be stopped by the proscription of theclass, or course, in which such principles shall beadvanced.The result of this is that the doctors think their case

very hard and themselves much to be pitied for notbeing allowed to propagate their disbelief In the immortalityof the soul. The Cardinals Donnet andUonuechose were particularly virulent, especially thelatter. Many of M. Duruy's institutions having metwith their censure, this was an excellent occasionfurnished by M. Duru.v's dithcultles with the doctorsat universities and upper schools to comc down onhim. Their wholesale anathemas on science wereabundant. M. Duruy's avocations as a Christian butln>eral thinker, combined with those ol a Minister oPi'ubiic Instruction, make ttie duties he Ini* t<» ner-lorrn of a delicate nature, and up to the present hisrate ha* beeu Ui content those whom tie has dishatistit'Uand vie versa. It is likely that, notwithstandingnil til* efforts to achieve what lie considers Just andequitable by way of eontlnlug the clergy on onehand and stopping atheism on the other, few voiceswill be raised in his favor beyond his own and theEmperor's, with whom religious toleration is a convictionaud a glorious system.Want of space aud abundance of matter will not

admit of long comment on the affair of Tunis, whichis clearing up satisfactorily to Kngland, France audItaly. It Is supposed that the line of conduct adoptedhy the Minister of Foreign Affairs was not adhered toby the Emperor, and that in consequence of someneglect at the commencement of difficulties M. deMousuer would resign his office to M. Drouyn deLhuys. These rumors were unfounded as far as thelatter was concerned. Should any change occur inthe Foreign Department M. de Lavalette would be M.de Moustier's probable successor, and tbe name ofU. Drouyn de Lhuys was only put forward becausehut recent interview with the Emperor on agriculturaltopics coincided with the coercive measuresadvocated with regard to Tunis by M. de Moustier.

Agriculture has lately much occupied tbe Emperor,and he has consented to close tbe show at Kouenon the 3lst inst. It may not be tbe place wherethe head of the State is most liked after the dcleatof the member for that locality, M. Fouyer Quertler,but It Is supposed the peaceful speech not made atOrleans will here be pronounced. It may be trulysaid that wheuever the Emperor leaves the Tullorieshe is supposed either to carry war or peace in hismantle.The maritime exposition at Havre, which opens on

the 1st of June, Is looked forward to with much satisfaction.It is to be a very vast affair. Frince Napoleonhas consented to be named honorary preBldeut.The products are not exclusively for the use of tbenavy, other branches of Industry will also coml>ete,but ariteles calculated to perpetuate greatactivity in the docks are tbe principal features.Thus the building, installation, arming and riggingof ships, hshlng tackle and instruments uaed in fishing.goods imported and exported, maritime chemlstrv,Ac., arc so various that the whole Expositiondues not include less than four groups aud twentysixclasxea.At nine o'clock tbe galleries will be open to the

public, immediately after the official visit of ttienotabilities, which will take place as early as eight,l ite Havrals are not addicted to morning indulgence.At fun nVhu'k tho rliM'ku will lu> InaniriirotoH* thou

President, Mr. (ieorge B. Lincoln, occupied the chair.A communication was read from D. B. Eaton, the

legal advisor of the Board, In reference to the communicationsreceived at the last meeting, from theComptroller of the city and the Counsel to the Corporation,with regard to the disposition of the moneyscollected by the Board of Excise. The CorporationCounsel claims that the moneys collected by thatBoard should tie given to the Sinking Fundand not to the Commissioners of Charities and Correction.Mr. Eaton gave it as his opinion that It Isnot the duty of the Board or Its officers to decide onthe matter, it 1h safe, however, to hold the moneystuns collected until the question Is raised and.decidedby the courts. It is presumed that in anyapplication made to the court by either of the sameclaimants notice will be given to the other, sothat, the question may be conclusively determined Ina single proceeding. The communication was receivedand copies were ordered to be forwarded tothe Corporation Counsel and the Commissioners ofCharities and Correction.The weekly communication from the Registrar of

There were 4 deaths by drowulng in Brooklyn,and the populous watei sides of other portions of Kingscounty and of the shores of Westchester, Queens and Richmondcounties witnessed similarly fatal accidents. As thebest methods for rescuing or resuscitating the drowned canbe readily understood and practised, It certainly seeins deslrabje that a methodical ettort should be made lu save some ofthe precious life that Is needlessly lost bv drowning.This la the more -necessary because of the extentof the watersides within the Metropolitan district.These exposed fronts amount to more than84 miles in New York cltv, not Including the excess byserrated piers, and to about 1(1 miles In Brooklyn, 33 mi.es luother parts of Kings and lu Queens counties, 30 miles onStaten Island and not less than 70 miles In Westchesteroounty. The Central Park Commissioners have most commendably placed In each police odicer's book In the Park a

copy of Ur. Silvester's "Kules for Saving the Drowned." Asthis la the season when, In the absence of free public baths,great numbers are exposed to the risk of drowulng, It Isplainly a duty to make timely efforts to prevent as manv ofthese unfortunate deaths as possible.

COIttlHTEXCf H JOCRJALHfl.

[From the Round Table, June 6-1The New York Hkkai.d printed the other day an

unusually thoughtful and well expressed article onUl'Winu nAr crmmutoiwi- unmu t\f tho iminta nf whichIf not especially original, are worth more uttenUonthan they appear commonly to receive. It Is palpablytrue, if not generally acknowledged, that many"party editors mean l»y consistency a persistence Inone course, whether t ight or wroug, and adhering tocertain political dogmas, whether applicable or notto the circumstances of-the times." The usefulnessor political writers, considered as public Instructors,Is undoubtedly much diminished by that incapacityfor juiliclal speculation which is so apt to attend anato grow upon the pledged ailhcrcnts ol aparticular party. Very seldom ludced does ithappen that all the measures of one partyare the best auil all those of another theworst possible for lie public good. Yet such is theusual external pressure that writers who are avowedadvocates of either party are constrained to insist onno less, so that the public kuow beforehand that anyproposal whatever, let its intrinsic merits be whatthey may, If brought forward by one party will besweeplngly and unhesitatingly condemned by the .

organs of the other. The public is thus accustomedto regard such a sysfent as a matter of course, andIts morality pusses unquestioned, lor the mo: t part,by universal consent. It follows, then, when a publicisthappens to possess the couruge or the patriotismto defeud or adopt a measure repm-'huia to hitpartyhe is sure to tie denounced as a renegade ortrimmer. un<l Ills inconsistency" is taken for grantedwithout the least examination into the moral or intellectualmerits of the charge. The Hfkai.i in tliearticle we have mentioued, proceeds to vindicate It*position as follows:.

If we saw a party pursuing a count calculated to Involve ,

the country In civil w.tr we «hould oppose II nrilli ni> outmight; but IF war shouid come In spite <»f our ellorta and tb«Integrity of the country war* threatened w« xhoulo i;o Willitue very party we bad opposed to save tlie IIIn ol tlo' nation.Ami this, In taut, aa li well known,ha* been our coorae. Th«radical press was consistent In Yuicltie. civil war .toil thencarrying it out, and the copperhead press was coi.sli tent inoppoaiug the Interests ol the republic arter win commenced.Which was nujst consistent as regards the welfareol the country, they or we, under the circumstancesKveiyright thinking person will sav the II kra n was consistent Inthe proper sense of the worn and the party press Inconsistent.There is a logical foice in this which people wno do

noc like the IIuuai.u will be reluctant to acknowledge,but which hose who can see any propriety in strivingto be fair minded men as well as coiisisi.cn: politicianswill scarcely deny. There were thousands of

erly opposed tj the political attitude of Lite I r goverument,but who yet strained every nerve in :lie fieldand elsewhere to prevent mat government'sdestruction. There are ihousauds who heartily advocateduniversal emancipation, hut who now are hoInconsistent as to disbelieve in the policy of universalnegro Hiitfruge. Such persons, whether th< y .-.peak Inprivate or through the press, are either Limited asbacksliders, ren^.'adea aud apostates to ire* doin orarc more gen treated as being "Inconsistent."Society encouru, s this species of malversation forreasons which arc very easy to understand. Politicalpower Is enjoyed in this country by a great many uneducatedor partly educated people, who are readilyImpressed and persuaded.as such people alwayshave been from time immemorial.by plaicitile criesof a levelling, subversive or revolutionary character.The rights of mail, universal brotherhood, the overthrowof tyranny are specious catchwords, which,often utterly unmeaning or totally Inapplicable as regardsth'' present business in hand, are alwayssafely depended upon by those who make a prolltout of popular Ignorance. The multitude, in ot>edienceto laws as old as the lulls and seas, will always,up to the turning point of relief from anarchythrough accepted despotism, prefer a bad government,m which all have a voice, to good governmentdirected by the wiser lew. Not the ostensible end olthe best possible management of public affairs, butthe munugeiuent, good or bad, lu which all have ashare, is the ideal of the masses who habitually,incorrigabiy, and Inevitably confuse meuns audends. That this should readily be taken advantageof by deintvgoges In a democratic countr.\ is perfectlynatural; aud in fact we constanly see menwhoso Insanity it is to make themselves at all costsconspicuous, going,from extreme to extreme, shoutingwildly to the people to follow, aud spurringthe peop.e to revile and to punish all whodissent from their teachings. Sensible Americansare much ashamed of Mr. Ueorge FrancisTrain aud wonder that a journal of the pretensionsof the World should be so foolish us to print his preposterousravings; but yet Mr. Train is only thelegitimate outgrowth, the ultimate irull, or socialand political conditions whose graduated productsmay be pointed out lu other uien, "leaders amongthe people," who are scarcely less ridiculous thanhimself. The lesson unconsciously taught by allthese demagogues or pseudo-demagogues is clear.They teach that It Is oniy needful to be i ouslstentin trusting to tne uttermost degree the Milllbilliyand blindness of the crowd, not only to es'iibltsh aconspicuous position, but also the privilege authoritativelyto denounce all others us inconsistent anddeserving of tue party taboo who refuse to go to thefurthest extremes of extravagance iind folly.The seven republican Senators who voted to acquit

the President are, of course, in the eyes of such in-simoons, very iiiic uiuneis ui lucousisicrr.'y. wcarc told tliut some negroes 111 Washington collectedin a church lately and prayed thut cixidi^n punishmentfrom ats>ve might bo meted out to those recreantlegislators "wlui. alter takln' a solemn ii.it', votedto acquit ile prlsouer." Ami tills I* just the sort olspirit ami the sort of knowledge on which uto demagogicHpint depends in order to carry out Its purposesThe cry for universal education ami diffusedintelligence, xo often raised by journals advocatingextreme opinions, is sulildal if nor disingenuous;for If the stundarl* ot education ami intelligencewere really advanced among us the whole trauo andminim d'etre of sucli journals would l»e <li ueautiywith; not because tlieir work as popular educatorswould have been accomplished, lint becu .se their Inaueueeauilstrength positively depemis upm. the prevalenceof that Ignorance which tuey ul;< o deprecate.To understand tills we have onl. jk ourselves,as Illustration-, how long a paper ike theChurch Union would live in our own t.'iuiii". ige, orhow Iouk a paper like the VrUnme would live in theEnglish Oxford, only by becotnlmr reii'y inconsistent"would these sheets be able to re..mi theirvitality; they oertaimy could not continue 10 existby continuing to be what they are, for tliey live bythe weakness that Is without rather than i»y thestrength that is within, and would perisn il life dependedupon the secr-lion of Individuality, heroismand independence of thought, without exterior aidor countenance.
