VMN1NG 1 TTil PI ITT) A H hi A VOL. VII-.-No. so. PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, APRIL 20, 18G7. DOUBLE SIIEET THREE CENTS. 1 PJHl mm J FROM EUROPE BY STEAMER. THE COMING WAR. A Few Item of Ripcndltnra In Arm and Ammunition. From the Salui riiblic of Lyons, April 5. The quantity or arms which Europe Is at thi non.ent cneacrd in transforming or manufac turing is estimated at 11,000 canuon and 3,200, 00 rifles. If the former are valued at 2000 francs each, tbat giee a sum ot 27,000.000 iraues, and that is aD exttemely low price. The rifles, at 40 francs each, npietent a sum of one hundred and twenty-eight millions, and that in most countries is far below the actual sum, the Chaste pot costing 76 francs, and the Swifs Winchester loe franca. TMs amount will therefore probably be exceeded, and as all the accoutrements will also require transformation, this expenditure, 'which, according to the most moderate calcula tion, is already twenty-two millions for cannon, and one hundred and twenty-eight lor rifles, together one hundred and bity millions, will certainly be doubled. It wll rise to triple, or four hundred and fifty millions taking into account the munition, powder, lead, cartridges, etc. Let us say, in round numbers, Ave hun dred millions, half a milli ird (123.000.000). We aK any inu lllisent man, Is it not the most prievous thin? posniole to see half a milliard I hue spent in instruments ol war, when the people everywhere are in want ot primary schools, apprenticeship instruction, and profes sional training; when there are the Uiostureent applications fur the execution of roads, bridges, and the most indispensable means ol communi cation? THE HUNGARIAN MOWN. Coronation Ceremonial of th Emperor of Austria. According to a French paper, the ceremonial observed at the coronation of the Kings of H angary is divided under the following ten heads: 1. The King prepares for the ceremony by a three rfayB' fast. 2. The coronation can only take place on n Sunday. 3. The King must lake the oath publicly. 4. The Bishop prays tbat the blessing of Heaven may descend on him who is about to be crowned. 6. In the litanies the Intercession of the saints is Invoked in lavor of him who is about to be crowned, and who all the time is kneeling. 6. The bishop annotnts the right arm of the king at the wrist, the elbow, and the shoulder. 7. Then commences the solemn mass, which proceeds as tar aa the epistle, when the bishop rakes the sword, and. atter a prayer, delivers it to the king, saying, "Gird thee with this sword, but bethink thee that the saints conquered by laith, and not by the sword." 8. He places the crown ppon the king's head. 9. He places the sceptre in his hand. 10. He conducts him to the throne, and the mas then proceeds to it close. The Primate of Hungary performs the part of the bishop in this formulary ; and as regards the oath which the kinsr takes to preserve the Constitution, that is a point to be settled betweea the king and the Government. RUSSIA. Ministerial Changes Preparing for Another cholera visitation. Bt, Petersburg April 3) Correspondence of .Jnde pendance helye. The reports concerning the resignation of M. Valeuiefl', Minister ot the Iutorior, nave just received an mcipient confirmation. His pre sumed successor. Prince Lubanoff Rostoffskr, has been named Deputy Minister of that Depart ment in place of M. Troyultzky, who goes to the Council ot btate. I hear on good authority that this change coincides with a conae grunted to M. Valouieil, who is shortly to leave on a foreign journey. It is hope I that when M. l.almuoli KoBtonsny snail oe aeunueiy ap pointed he will restore to the province of 8c. Petersburg its territorial autonomy. There is also a strong probability tbat the new Minister w.ll take the initiative of a revision of the laws on the press. M. Nicolas Milootine has been relieved of his functions ol Secretary ol State tor Poland, which he held only nominally since the terrible malady which deprived him of the vigor re quired in the occupant of that difficult post. The cholera seems inclined to repeat its visit of last year. Many caees have appeared in the bo6p'tals. Our society, proud of the brilliant results ot its efforts last ear, has again set to work. Acemral committee of succor is already organized under the presidentship of General Trepott. the Chiet ot Police, and the private committees depeudout on the central one will shortly be opened. Provifioual hospitals are also bting organized, and. above all, houses of refuse lor persons attacked by cholera have been established in different parts of the city, with a very limited number of beds in each. These asylums, by means ot which a too great agglomeration ot the sick is prevented, rendered signal service last year, and, Iu the opintou ol soiiie medical men. contributed most ot all to the prompt extinction of the epidemic. GOOD FRIOAr. Services In St. Alban'a (EuglWh Catholic) Church. ' From the W. Y, Evening Post of lant evening. ThU morning St. Alban's (English Catholic) Church, in Forty-seventh street, near Lexing ton avenue, was crowded by the regular congre gation aud those whose curiosity haa been awakened in relation to what are somewhat generally supposed to be Its "peculiar" services. Atter the church edifice had been tilled, there were several hundred persons, many of theui In carriages, who came, aud rludlug uo room Wllhiu ware obliged to retire. . The altar, aa is uxuul in other Catholic Churches, was stripped ot ornaments aud draped in black, the drapery of the altar form ing a cross. Upou the front of the altar was em broidered a crown or thorns, with a super frontal, emblematic of the deatu of Christ; boon after half-past ten, the rector, Rev, Charles W. Morrill, entered, fallowed by Hev. M r. Noyes and Rev. I)r. Luudy, assistant priests, and all took their appropriate places. Tue exercises were then beiruu,. and consisted of matins and the litany, snug hy Hev. Dr. Noyes and lessons, which were read by Rev. Dr' Jjundy. The Proauaphotal service was said by the rector, who also pleached, the sermon, which, while pertaining to the specialty of the day, was also calculated to alt jra a clear Impres sion of the movemeut within the Episcopal Church, In England, of which the peculiarities of fct. Albans are, so to aneuk, a reverberation and having as an aim aud au endachauge in the touelng of the services, liy which the objea. tive is to be raised beyond lis ireseut generally conceived value as compared with the sub jective. The subject of the sermon by the Rev. Mr. Morrill was, "The Death of Cunat," and it was Imaed unon the text: "He said it t nulshed, and He bowed Ills Lead and gave up the Guost." St. John, xlx, 30. The preacher said: "Throughout Scripture, its lenath and breadth, the death of Jesui aiirixt Is set forth aa the one only procuring cause of man' forgiveness, oeiiverance iroui the power nf Bin. Satan, aud death; of man's redumnUnn and salvation. In all its various grouping of truth, the central figure Is the Lamb of God. a n snlritual clfts and blessings are said to l due to the meritorious death of Christ Ills nl.. mission, blood-shedding." The preacher .,i-,f KflveiiLl Dasxaaea ot bcripture llliutra. live of this point, aud aaid that, according to uacred Bcripture, the cross of Christ was the true altar, and His death a proper aaerlfloe. vicarious and propitiatory. An nnt.ie said. "We preaoli uurisi crucified, n i. n-t.br lnnnlred "Jlow Should ha not have ao spoken? And yet be more than i i ...... n all t.rm nontext, that such Dreanh. , UUI bi , u - -f m Redeemer Is likely to prove extremely dis tasteful and offensive; even the subject ol ridi cule, and conumpt to the heart of man. To the Jewa it would prove a stumbling-block, as con tradicting and thwarting all their carnal ex peo tatlonaof a triumphant national Messiah; to the Greeks, haughty amid their lettered skeinl clsm, it would seem no better than foolishness, as nstlng'on principles unknown to or rejected by the philosophy of the schools; to all, more over, In every age and country, who, from whatever cause, disbelieve and reject the mys tery of the Cross, and so perish, It would like wise appear absurdity and fol ly." The pietcher said that as humanity defiled lUelt In the person of Adam, so Immunity was realised and renewed In the person of the God Mau. Christ took upon Himself the sins, and the curses and sorrows of all; fulfilled the law for us, and by Ilia precious blood-shedding on the cross made a true and perfect saorlfle.fi, pro pitiation, satisfaction, and atonement for the sins, both original and actual, ot the whole world. The preacher referred to the many instances In the Old 'testament where the comlug of Christ Is foreshadowed, and continued as fol low: "it Is clear that the Jewisn Church was educated for the sacrifice of Christ, by almost nil the rites and ceremonial precepts of the Mosaic liiw, wnich constantly preacued Jesus Cbrlst and Him crucified. The Israelite was dully reminded of bis sinfulness and corrup tion, by the dally rooming and eveulng sacri fice of a lamb. "The sanctuary, the special type of heaven, he was not worthy to enter. No atonement could he make lor bis own transgressions; he knew that he must needs go out of himself. Nor could the priest make atonement except ly the shedding ol blood of unblemished victims t he tflicaey of which lay, of course, iu its Curls tlnn significance." The preacher closed by exhorting his hearers to embrace the cross of Christ, which is the oniy source ot salvation. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon there was another service, which was also largely at tended, and at 8 P. M. there are to be special services. CHIME IX JiEW I0KK. Curious Letter from a Burglar.

Saratoga, N. T., April 20. Benjamin Hogin, who is charged with shooting some men In Babylon, in tbe Pennsylvania oil region, last summer, was arrested here vesterday by Otlleer Case, who bad been here for a week hunting for him. A large reward was offered for his arrest. lie has been committed to jail to await a requisition. Arrival of the Mississippi. New York, April 20. The steamer Mississippi has arrived from Havre. Her advices have been anticipated. W ill of the Late Dr. Simeon Abrahams. Dr. Abrahams leaves behind him a bright example for lieu men to imiiiite. Alter Hpeniling a lite of tne IM'eutebt fruKulily, temperance, and Industry, he so directs the distribution ot bis Hccuunilaied means (amounting to not less than fliiO,o0), that the entire sum lulls at litsi Into tbe lap of charity. The only Benriiug exception to this Is the amount awarded to the executors for services to oe rendered, WUich may very properly be classed uuder the head of expenses. It will be perceived tbat that most worthy charity, the New ork Uospltal, receives a large share ot his beneficence. Tnough of the Jewish persuasion, he never was sectarian In bis charities .orihfc,good-wlll; and in his endeavors to cooler a benefit he never stopped to consider whether the recipient was Jew or Gentile. 11 is acts of disinterested kindness were numberless, Even lu the distribution ot his means In a business way, be always adhered to principles which were most likely to benellt those whb whom he dealt. No siiigle individual lu tliecityof New York ever held more uniall bonds and mortgages than be. While ricu mm generally depretaie the Idea of Investing tlielr means iu small sums, Dr. Abrahams made It a prin ciple. U a poor man needed bis means for the purpose ol Improving a hit in some out of-the-way place, to advance It to him In sums of $ouo or 1KX, In prefer ( nee to loaning It In larger sums to those iwbo would Und less uifllculty In obtaining them. In nmn-Lerlet-a instances, too, when such applications bave teen made, and the means not at hand, and the ueed urent, has he deposited securities and borrowed at bank to accommouate his needy'appllcauts. If Is kind ness to them did not end here, lor while he was ever ready to lend them, he was as willing to receive tbe lavu.eiitslu small amomiis of (Aland upwards, as tbe ability ol his beneiiciurles enabled them to make 11 'fife record of such a man's life Is worth much to the public, aud a stioug Inducement for others to Imitate it. t , There is no doubt but that Dr. Abrahams was greatly Influenced by the example set blm by one of our n ost esteemed aud late fellow-citizens, Anson (i. Puelps, to follow it. In reading the record or Mr. riielpe' will he remarked, "There Is a man worthy of bis country, aud one who has lived to do good, and I mean to follow his example," His dealti reveals the fact that he has truthfully kepi his promise by Hi us widely extending his charities where they were most needed. Tbe largeamount awarded to the Old Ladles' Home, In Twentieth street (-",'), was greatly out ol re spect to the memory ol Mr. 1'lielps. who was one of its founders aud most earnest supporter while he lived.

The Customs and Traditions of the Festi valHow it Is ow Celebrated In Different Parts or tbe World. How it Will bo Observed in the City To-Morrow. Etc., Ktc.f Kte., Ktc, Ktc, Kte. The Origin f the Word "Easter" is involved in considerable doubt, and as Is usual under such circumstances, the anti quarians bave puzzled themselves excecdiagly in order to discover its true source and meaning. By tome of these disputants it is said to be de rived trom Jostre, the name by wbirni one of the old Saxon deities was known. The feast of J-.osfre was formeily celebrated In tbe spring of the year, somewhere about the tune of the greut Christian lestival In honor of tbe resurrection of our Saviour; and it is claimed that, when the character of tbe least was changed lrom pagan 10 Christian, tbe old nauie was still retained. By some authorities the word is derived from the Anglo-Saxon Tst, a storm trom the stormy character of this season of the year, while by other authorities It Is maintained that the word is derived IroTi Otter, which signifies "rising;" aud as 'he rising of Christ trom the dead is the circumstance in commemoration of which the festival is kept, tbis last supposition derives ad ditional weight tberelrom. In addition to tbis dispute concerning the origin of the term, there has beea a long standing disagreement as to When Baster Shall be Kept. This great question at one time convulsed the Christian world. By the churches of Asia Minor, the Pascbal Feast was kept on tbe same day as tne Jewish raseovtr tne ntn 01 xsisan, the month in tbe Jewish calendar which corres ponds to our March or Apt d. But, as the resur rection of Christ took place on the first day of the week, the Western Churches com mem orate a it on tbe Sunday lollo a ing theUlhof Misan, thereby disclaiming all connection whatever with tbe detested festivals or tbe Jews, as wen as cauiing Easier to coincide with the precise day of the resurrection. During the second century the dispute con seining the proper day became quite warm, aud, finally, te wards us close, Bishop Victor of Home sent to the Jjraos Ul til 13 XL.ur.Lclu luuibvci c viwiwij letter ordering; them to observe Master on the day that was customary in the Western churches. But the Eastern prelates were fouad to be in anything but a yielJmg mood, and the dispute remained unsettled, becoming more and more bitter as time elapsed. Then came the schism between the two branches of the Chris tian Church; and after that alt who insisted on observing Baster on the 14th of tbe month Nlsan, whether it chanced to be Sunday or any other day in the week, were denominated by their opponents Quartodectmans. Tbe imperiection of the Jewish calendar was at the bottom of all this strite. Their year con tained but twelve months, of twenty-nine and thirty daji each, alternately, making in all but 354. A thirteenth montn ot thirty days was inteicalated every third year, to make np tbe annual deficiency ot eleven days; but this still kept them in advance of tbe true period in the solar year, the Passover being frequently ob served before the Vernal Equinox. This was particularly obnoxious to the Christians of the West, as by them tbe Vernal Equinox wai re garded as the natural commencement of the year, aud they were quite unwilling to celebrate Faster twice within one year ana omit it alto gether in the next, as was frequently done by the eastern cuurcnes. 10 avoiu any such dilemma, the tilth of the Apostolic canons decreed that any bisbop, priest, or deacon who celebrated the holy feast of Easter before the Vernal Equi nox should be forthwith de0Bed. The Emperor Constantino found the contro versy on tbis point so warm at the beginiiag of the fourth century, that be resolved to put an end to it, aud tecure future uniformity, at one and the same time. Through his influence a canon was adopted by tbe (Ecumenical Counoll of I ice, in the year A. D. 3i5, to the effect that every wheie the great feast of Easter should be oboerved upon one and tbe same day, which day should be tbe Sunday following the Jewish Passover. To prevent any possible chance of dispute as to the time, it was likewise decreed tbat the 21st day of March should be accounted the Vernal Equinox; that tbe full moon happen ing upon or next after the 21st of March should Ke taken for the full moon of Nisan; that the Lord'H-day next following that full moon should be Easter-day ; and that if the full moon should happen upon a Sunday, Easter-dav should be tbe Sunday after. - But even this did not settle the difficulty, although, out of consideiation for the supposed excellence of the Egyptians in tbe science of the stars, the Bishop ot Alexandria was appointed to give due notice to the Christian world of the proper time lor the celebration of the paschal least. During the next age, recourse was had to the golden numbers ot the Metonic cycle, ac coidtngto which the moon returned for her changes to the same tnoifth and day of the solar year once in a period or cycle of nineteen years. But although the caane.es of tbe moon hap pened on the same month and day at periods nineteen years distant from each other, it was found that thete changes took place one hour earlier in the day during each succeeding cycle, and in this way the whole arrangement was again thrown out of order. A cycle of 84 years was then adopted, ai.d gene rally accepted by the Western churches, It being supposed tbat this would bring tbe ch.nges of the moon not only on tbe same day of the month, but of tbe week also. At tbe fourth Council of Orleans, A. D. 641, the Vlctorean period ot 632 years was adopted, and observed thereafter by the Western ehurcbe. From this rule, however, those of Oreat Britain and Ireland departed, and continued to observe their Easter according to the Alexandrian rule, by which the festival could not bedn before the 8ttt of March, while according to the one followed on the Continent it sometimes happened a early as the 6th of the month. This gave rise to such a divergence that the Britons were sometimes called Quartodeci mans sod were therefore supposed to be tainted with JudaUtn. the worst possible form of heresy The discrepancy wa finally removed la the year A. D. 064. when Oswy, King of NorthuHJbria, at a couued of the contending parties, decided sgalust the British practice, and in lavor of that pursued at Koine. The result of au examination of this great con troversy is anything bat satisfactory; but its im portance will be readily sssented to, when it is remembered that upon its settlement depends, tbe time for celebrating tbe movable feasts and fasts of the j ear, allot which are regulated by tbe taster festival. The rule now fol'owed U thus laid down in the Praier-book of the Pratestant Episcopal Church: " Easter-day is always the first Sunday after the lull moon which happens upon or next after the 2lt day of March: aud if tbe full moon happens upon a Sunday, Easter-day is the buuday alter." The Customs of Vaster Week vary considerably in different parts of the Christian world. In this country the moot popular one is associated with the eating of eggs. Oa Easter uwndig. people wuaUj coa-
