From Our Own CorrctpondenL
Vbw York, Sept. 10.
"Conwlcted, bnt not Concerted."
Tbce words have been memorable to me ever
ince I first heard them pronounced by a peon's
washerwoman, who, next to sitting, down to a
hot dish of tea, with her sleeves rolled up to her
elbows, e u)ojcd nothing on earth bo much as
conversation in respect to her own and her
neighbors' souls. Indeed, she used to speculate
upon the condition of jour soul as though it
was so much cheese, and whether you were
sound or unsound, would not long remain
undlscoveied by her, If you once came within
the sweep of the radius represented by Aunt
Tolly's wash-brash handle. "Chile," Bhe used
to say, pausing In her white-washing, with a
look of solemn adjuration, "Chile, your soul
was made for better lings than to go dancing
around in the Devil's den forever and for
ever, through all elernity, like a hen on a hot
griddle." And, troth to tell, Aunt Pollj's words
had all the power due to a rude and grotesque
picturesqueoess.
I am led to these apparently disconnected
remarks by the fact that John Allen, who, like
another great man, awoke one morning and
found himself famous, Is announced at con
Verted aud on the road to glory. The sobriquet
of the "Wickedest," only continues to be be
stowed upon him because it was by that ho
achieved his greatness just as the voluptuous
Feliclta will always be known as Vestvall the
magnificent, aud Edwin Forrest as the eminent,
and Lucille Western as the young, the talented,
and the beautiful. And now one word about his
sincerity. Dou't you. dear Philadelphia public
in writing to whom I always feel at home, be
lieve that this rcpentaut dance-house keeper is
sincere. You know his history, .from first
to last, as well as I do. Copious ex
tracts lrom the New York newspapers
have Informed you who aud what he
is, and here you have the fact staring you in
the face, that he has abandoned his old business
and is trying to act as' though he heard "Etor
nity 1" ringing perpetually in his ears. Ills late
dance house will be the nucleus of a revival,
which, if managed rightly, and not pushed with
indiscreet zeal, may embrace thousands of the
sin-soaked blnnera of New York. If John Allen
sticks to his promise aud bis prayers, be might
go around among the infected human brutes of
Water street, a living bottle of moral and reli
glous carbolic acid, the mouth unstoppcred
and the acid flowing forth like balm, to heal
and sweeten the dark places. In questions ot
thlb delicate and dangerous nature, it is easy to
cay that such a line of conduct ought to be
pursued, but difficult to feci that what we say is
true. Many of the religious and well-meaning
frequenters of these Water street prayer-meetings,
some of the most sweet and spotless ladies
and gentlemen in New York fail from a lack
of knowledge of that phaie of religious life, and
of the tact necessary for them to successfully
address themselves to the men and women
there who have sunk so low, that to sink lower
Would seem impossible. Yet even an imperfect
piety, a low plane of religion are better than no
piety and religion at all. To one who bus ob
served much, and thought much upon
subjects akin to this, it will be
apparent, that of all the multitudinous
religions throughout the world, those in which,
sincerity predominates must be most acceptable
to that preat Instigator of creation whom we
call God. 1 do not expect the narrow ritualist
to find the smallest moJicum of heavenly joy
when be reads that John Allen is converted at
last. But thousands in this city, among the
Methodists aud Baptist.", probably, more thtn
among the religious of other denominations,
will sbed tears of sacred joy on earth, and so
keep time with the angels in heaven, who are
said to take an interest in repentant reprobates.
These low levels of religion address themselves
to people whose minds and morals are on a low
level; and it is better that John Allen should
turn out to be officious in the pulpit, thau that
he should lemain profane behind the bar.
And bince I am on religion, permit me to
observe that now that the watering-places have
collapsed, the religious interests generally are
cropping out again. Tne home missions are
being contributed to; the open air preachings
have lately been largely attended, though I
hope that hearts have not been warmed at tne
expense of colds in the bead; Catholic, EpUco
pal, Congregational, and Reformed Churches
re being opened subsequent to the lobbies bolog
repainted, the aisles rcmatted, and engagements
effected (at an immense outlay 1) with first-class
solos and choristers. In fact, the outside of the
cup and platter is beautiful to look upon, and if,
inside, all Is rotteuaess, why the temples of God
In this city are do worse thau His temples else
where. That funny, wrinkled, white-haired, witty,
simple-hearted ventnloquial prestidigitatour
Bignor Blitz is at Dod worth Hall here, enchant
ing youngsters as completely as bis brilliant
daughter, Madame Van Zandt, is enchanting
more fabtidlous audiences in London, Paris,
Stockholm, St. Petersburg and where not?
Has he published bis autobiography yet? I
thought perhaps he might have done so in a
surreptitious manner (so to speak) in Philadel.
phia, instead of appealing at once, through the
liberal-minded Carletou (I can't say whether
the latter is as liberal pocketed), to the broad
and genial sympathies of Gotham. That
autobiography, which to my certain knowledge
has been under way for years, would certainly
find hundreds perhaps I might say thou"
sands of readers in Philadelphia ; and
if the rhetoilcal grace with which they are
delivered Is half as pleasant as the native grace
with which he tells them, I am pretty certain he
will please young and old alike.

to tay, but he is surely old enough to have

Lydia's fure was the fare I had the honor of
hauding up last Saturday, from the hands of a
lady, who was "disUnguishedly" attired, and
who I tee 1 morally certain was an actress. Her

gathered around her as bhe seated her

bad the look of a lady and the glanourof an
actress too. Without being In the loan brazen,
she preserved that cold composure which women
attain after being looked at every nlaht, vear
after year, through thousands of lorgnettes.
Lastly, she had two yellow-covered play bioks
in her hand. One of them was "Fazio." The
name of the other escaped my eye. She got in

What tho People Say.
To the Editor of the Evening Te egraph-8r:
You have my tbanks for publishing the card
irom some generous friend who rejoices in the
now de piume. "A Seeker after Truth." I beg of
you let me tell him and my Irieods everywhere
that lam in no hurry for a seat in Cong :e..
If I ever go there, it will not be to serve myself,
but to serve, first, my country; second, my
friends.
It is generally known that, having been rather
Impulsive and uufanbloiiabiy independent in
politics, I am now cnjoying.with aflthe "modest
stillness and humility" of which I am capable,
ihe two years of probation to which I was con
signed by the wise men of the Republican party.
No honest man ever charged me with seit
aggrandizement at the expense of the public
service. I am too old in the dCblre to serve my
country to learn that patriotism Is a trade or to
make politics pay. Heucv Carev lisnd to tail m
festina lente was a good motto. I am hastening
very siowiy, out 1 can stand It if the people can.
The triumph of that areat cause for which the
Great Commoner lived and for which Abraham
Lincoln died is ten thousand times dearer to
me thau the hope of the highest office In the
land.
When the great Republican train wh'stles
down brakes, and takes me aboard as enclncer
or brakesman I will be there; but whether that
train ever stops for me or not, I am content.

Tbe cable being laid, this company propose erecting
land llnea and establishing a speedy and trustworthy
means of communication, which must command
there, as everywhere else, tne communication j or tbe
Government, of business, and of social life, especially
In China. Bhe has no postal sysum, aud her ouly
means now of communicating Information Is by
courier on land, and by steamers ou water,
Tbe Western World kn,ws that China Is a. very
large cpnnlry, In the main densely peopled; bat few
yet realize that she contains more than a third of tbs
hum an race. Ihe latest returns made to her central
tut hor I ties for taxing purposes, by the local mag's,
trates make her population tbur Hundred and bur.
tern Million!, and tLls Is tai re likely to be uuder than
over tbe auutl aggregate. Nearly all of these who
are over ten j ears old nut only can. bnt do read and
write. Her civilization Is peculiar, but her literature
Is as extensive as that of .Europe. China Is a land of
ttacheis and traders; aud the latter are exoeedlntly
qnlck to avail tl emselves of every proffered facility
for procuring early Information. It Is observed la
Caillornla that the Chlnete make great use of the
telegraph, though It there trarainit message In En
glish alone To-flay, great numoers of fleet at earners
are owned by Chinese merchants, and used by them
exclusively for tbe transmission of early Intelligence,
If the telegraph wepropose, connecting all their great
seaports, weie now in existence, it Is believed that
It business would pay Its cost within tbe first two
jears of It successful operation, and would steadily
Increase thereafter.
No enterprise commends Itseli as In a greater de
gree remunerative to capitalists, and to our whole
pjple. It Is of vast national Importance commer
