The Great Come-Outer His Views mpon Charity and the Movement Cure The Letter and the Spirit of Religion. The New "fork Academy ot Music was rpwded lust evening by one of the largest and most brilliant audiences ever assembled therein, attracted to bear the leeturo or oration of tho Kov. Father Hyaclntho on "Charity." Every feat In the building was occupied, while hun dreds were compelled to content themselves with standing room. The Hago was occupied by a number of distinguished gentlemen, among whom were noticed the Consular representa tics of Italy, Belgium, Holland, Spain, and other nations; several Judges of the .Supreme Court, Horace Greeley, and editors of French and Italian journals of this city; a nutriber of well-known lawyers, and several members of tho French Benevolent Society, for whose beneilt tho Reverend Fatherdelivered theoratlon. In the ab sence of M. Coudalre, tho Prcsidentot tneSociety, Fere Hyaclntho was Introduced by Mr. Caylu.t, formerly ft journalist In France, and for many years a prominent merchant In this city. Mons. Caylus, in introducing the speaker, said that he (Mr. Cnvlus) came to represent, and not to re place, Mons. Coudalre, the President of tho French Benevolent Society. Ho said that the Americans, and Germans, and Irish had each heard their great orators iu tho Academy of Music, and it was now the turn of the French. With a few more graceful remarks he formally introduced the reverend lecturer. On rising to speak, as on entering, a perfect storm of ap plauso greeted Father Hyaclntho. He seemed sensibly affected by the warmth of this greet ing. After surveying the immense audience before him, he delivered the following LECTURE ON CHAKITT. Ladies and Uentlcraen : I came here to listen, and BOt to speak. It happened, however, that in tills cosmopolitan city 1 found France, and was appealed to by charitable men in behalf of suffering France. The members of the Soclete Franeals de Blenfats ance asked me to come to aid (now that a severe winter Is about to set In) my suiferlug compatriots in New York. The French population in tl.io K'ea city Is not numerous, but its memories are uiauy aud glorious, since the time of Washington and Lafay ette no cloud has darkened the friendship of the two countries they respectively represent. I should have shown but a slender sympathy for France had I not responded to the appeal made to me on behalf of It suliering children. This will account for my presence before you this evening. I have to claim jour indulgence on account of my voice. That I have to do so is to some extent your fault, or at lesHt that of your climate. There are very excellent things here, but the sudden changes of weather are not among them. The temperature of this day Is a oaf e in point. Providence, however, has restored to me a streamlet of voice. I would gladly, had I been able, placed all of it at your disposal. The question 1 would speak on to-night Is one of the most Important, yet one of the least understood. 1 speak of charity. The government of life is, how ever, the real subject of my lecture, and charity a subsidiary element In this practical age science Is Htudled for Its application to the practical purposes of life, rather than for its own excellence. The fact par excellence is troth, and from this comes the great question: Of what use is it for man to con quer the unlverso If he loses his soul his life? It is a' grand thing for this great continent to be governed by the people, but It Is a greater thing for man to be governed by ills conscience. But before proceeding further let me define the meaning I attach to the expression. lg MOVEMENT OF LIFE. The old scholastics, after Aristotle, referred to life as a movement vita in vuttn. In each movement three parts are discernible the point of departure, the Hue traversed, and the point of arrival. It la thus In life. The motive power in lire is the heart a more imperative, Impulsive power than the con fidence, from which, however, it is not to be sepa rated. I have the right so to speak I, a priest of Joan cmriBt addressing you. Ouard thine own hf art: every man hath his own heart in his keeping. The three principal powers of the soul and the body are the reason, the senses, and the heart. Neither of the first two mentioned are real Sowers. Uythe senses mun is assimilated to the rute creation and sometimes degraded below Its level. By reason he is assimilated to the emrels. He reasons on truth under a dim shadow, while the heavenly host behold It In all Its full radiance. Nothing, however, is more eclu tively, more essentially liuuiaa than the heart, for man cannot live or And auy permanent principle that will inspire him in life without Its aid. I have loved, aud still love, ideas, but I have never fouud in them absolute certaluties, or consolations and joys. What is the heart' It is the flesh; it Is an orzan that commands blood and life. Moses said : "The soul is the blood." The heart Is almost the man, for in It all motion in life commences and ends. It is the tlrst organ awaking to life In the in faut in the mother's womb; it Is the last that beats on the death bed. The material heart is the image of the moral heart. And the heart is love, the power of loving. Man Is not a thought, a sentiment, but he is love. This love Is the source of ail moral acta, for in every man yon will find a good or a bad love, the welzht of which will decide his after life. St. Augus tine has said: "My love is my weight; whem it bears me, thither I go." I may recite to you a G or, ' man legend I huve heard: It deals with a young man in love, lie is sketching an admirable land scape. Behind him is the (lend In human semblance, watching his every movement, Katan, after watch ing him for a while, crleB to the youth : ' Vou are in love " "And how do you know that?" replies the youth. "I can see it." The rlend was right. Love expresses Itself by means the most foreign to it. In roan it is as I have before said at the root of every act the heart is at the foundation of all. Let us then be men of heart. Let us bear four hearts into civil Hf", Into social life, into domestic life Let os be men of heart in city ami In State. Let us love country, family, loyalty, probity. Let us love the Church of Christ, but not as the church of any particular sect. Let us respect the letter but not as an extinguisher the letter kills, the spirit gives life. (Loud applause.) Let us then, I repeat, start as men of heart. Your great poet Lonfflellow, whose acquaintance it was my great privilege to make a few days ago, has written iu one of his verses the force of which is but poorly rendered in French lines which have been my motto through life: "Let ub then be up and doing, With a In art for any fate. Still achieving, still pursuing. Learn to labor and to wait.'' (Tremendous applause.) Now I would speak of the direction to be given to life, and of the region it should traverse. We have often hetrd of two roads opening before man, eat:h diverging from the other. Humanity has hesitated between the two for cen turies. Shall heaven or earth be chosen? snail man ?ive tohls existence an Impul-e that will separate him rom the world that bears blm and tear it from all that the Creator has made Its baste family, atrec tlons, interests, sufferings, or shall lie Cit away all Idea of loving heaven, ami couccnti.ire upon earth his faith, hi hoDe, his love? Man, 1 Buy, hesitates between the two roads, und the most rash rush to one or the other. Materialists say tliat heaven is no thing, and see but the earth, giving themselves to that dust which forms our planet, and to that troublous and fleeting hour, life. Mystical minds (and no one respects earnest minds more than I do), false mystical minds set anldu all earthly du ties and enjoyments change life Into an aspiration towards heaven, instead of striving to merit that heaven. They seek to scale t heir wiy Into heaven in hot haste. Now, my experience has convinced , tiiAt between these two roads there is a third opened for the greatest moral and religious progress :... mn irmke. and trodden bv men who can recon cile heaven and earth tlie present life with a future exlFtence a task to be accomplished in these times -.a it wna nccntn nllshed bv Christ dvlmr ou the cross to reconcile the UiIukb of heaven to the things of earth. I open the ltiule, and I read In it that Uod - )u man nut of the dust, and placed hlin U a beauteous garden, which, by material toil, he was to care for and cultivate. Then he led before him the r?:....iu thut. inferior race which is Intended to unnlv slaves to man) man, then, the work of !,..f '.in the klnar. the owner, the manager I JhA universe.

Adam was alone, and Hod thought it not good that he should be, for Ho knew what Adam only felt he lacked. "Let there be light," God said, "and light was made, and He beheld it and said it was goo I: and He created stars and animals and plants, ami paw that all very good. But when llemidewhat He adjudged Ills masterpiece, and the cdlflue was crowned by man, He perceived his work was Incom plete. Ho (lod made Adam a companion, aud saved nim from egotism." Thus waa the organization of tbe family perfected. In modern society celibacy exists for the sake of God; but this exception, if you make It a rule, U agalDBt nod and against nature. Celibacy is cow ardice if it does not glorify marriage. The Apostles have said mrrriage is honorable, marriage is spotless before Hod and men. The great object in view H the reconciliation of heaven aud earth, and of the pre sent life with tho future, and to secure union on earth. Vnlon In the city, In tho nation, and in hu manity with the thought or Jesus Christ, who tlrst proclaimed that which the prophets but dimly saw and the Jews never did sec. Tho centuries that will renh.e this great union or nations have begun. J'he labor has commenced. Steam and electricity remove all obstacles.

(Ureat applause.) EXPLOSION. Totnl Dent ruction of Powder MM" In Nan frrnnrlsro Ten .Vied Killed and Wounded. Intelligence was received a few days since by telegraph of a terrlllc gunpowder explosion In Cali fornia. The San Francisco A Itu. of the 80th ult, just received, gives the following particulars of the sad aflalr: A terrible accident occurred abont 6-4!5 o'clock last evening, at the Crant Powder Works situated about Ave miles from the City Hall. The works, of which Bandmann, Nielsen & Co.fcire tho asents, were Btarted over a year since. The grounds, lying between two hills, consiHt of about an acre of land, uround the whole or which was an eight-foot fence. On the place were Ave frame buildings. The factory, a building about. 2fx60 feet, was on the cast side, on level ground. In the centre was a building in which the three white men employed at the works lived. On the west side was the large stable; above this was a Bhantv, occupied by eight Chinamen employed there, and. at an elevation of about forty reet, was the depository for the nltro-glycerlne and acids used in manufacturing the powder. Yesterday afternoon a truck load of acids was brought to the ground and placed on the elevator. At 6 o'clock last evening work was suspended as nsual. After supper the foreman, driver, and laborer, who were in their building, sat down to play a game or cards. About a quarter beforo 7 one of them locked out of the window and noticed a lire on tne hill where the acids were stored. He had Just called the attention or the other two to the fact, when a sudden explosion took place on the hill, at once shattering all the buildings, setting Are to the build ing In which the three men were, and the foreman. Mr. Parsenius, and the drlver.whose name could not be asctrtalned, were burned to a crisp, while the laborer. Mr.Wallerwelller, was knocked senseless on the floor. After lying there for several minutes he sufficiently recovered himself to be a'Me to crawl ont of the burning building. Of eight Chinamen in their shanty six were seriously injured, one of them having his eyea nearly burned out. Every one of the buildings on the place was torn to pieces, the whole fence sur rounding the premises was torn down, not a plank being left on the place. In short, the entire works are a wreck. The sudden crash of the explosion fairly shook the hills in the vicinity, and was plainly heard a distance of several miles. About 800 yards distant from the wreck Is the ranche ot Jacob Kick. Every pane or glass in the house was broken. All rushed out excitedly, not knowing at tlrst the cause or the violent shaking ot the house, as though it was being raised irom lis lounaauon Dy electricity. The first one out of the house was Mrs. Rick, who saw the houBe on, lire at the works. She was soon followed by the men. who at once ran up to tne place, rendering such assistance as they could to Mr. Wullerweiller, who was lying groaning on tne ground, on exami nation It was found that he had three severe cuts on the left hln and two on the head. The six Injured Chinamen, who also managed to crawl out of their building, were next arteuueu to, ami as toon as pos sible an express wagon was procured, in which they were conveyed to town. When the building in which the white men were had burned down, the hands rrom the ranche hooked out trom the cinders the two dead bodies, which were burned to a crisp, the legs and heads being entirely taken oir, and the only way they could be distinguished from each other was by a portion of Mr. I'arsenlus' watch chain, which was still hanging to his body. The windows of a house 200 yards to the west of the works were also smashed, and the Inmates or St. Mary's College, nearly a mile on", were also startled, me nuii.ung snaking iroui top iu uuikjiu. Whether the accident resulted rrom the explosion o. nitro-glycerino or some acid could not be ascer tained last evening, as the only one or those em ployed at tne works (tne laborer) wno couia give any uformatlon was in such a Btate that ne was naraiy able to speak. BLAIR. On the ltnmpnffft Annln IIU View, on tlrant The. Country Warned Affalunt II In Dictato rial Aspirations. Frank Ulair. Jr.. in a speech before a Democratic Club In New Vork city, relieved himself or his views on lresldent Orant in the rollowing edifying style: During the Presidential canvass it was my fortune to speak of General Grant in tbe various addresses which l was required to make inrougnout tne coun try ; and I said about him what 1 kHuw of him-that he was a capable and courageous man, but ambitious and unscrupulous; and whose am it was to tlx hbn sell on the country and make his dictatorship per petual. I sec In this recommendation wnicti he has made in regard to Georgia, a something which, ir acted on by Congress, is the forerunner or other measures of the same character, ana In perfect con sonance with the character which 1 sketched for Gen.Grant in speeches 1 had the honor to make before . the country, lie is ambitious and ne is leariess, ami although some of our Democratic friends are iu the habit of speaking iu a very dlsparaglnway of htm, all I have to say is this, that anybody who thinks General Grant Is a fool la more likely to bo a fool hlmseir. He is a man of stubborn character; he may not be very broad In bis views; ho may bu narrow and obstinate; but he Is resolute aud unflinching, aud the most dangerous man tnac tuis country con tains at this hour. He has a will that knows no swerving from any plan that he has entered upon. His courage is roost determined ; ami tnougii ne may not have great capacity, or a very great Intellect, yet when he has once entered upon the pursuit of an object, he maintains It with luvinclule courage and untiring laoor. jn my judgment, bo larirom oeing a man at whom we ought to scoff, aud whom we may treat with contempt, he is a man who ought to be carefully watched a man or whom we should rear the worst things. Of course, it is not always the greatest Intellectual man who achieves the greatest things In this world. A man who has a purpose and who has power to back him very frequently exceeds In his achievements a man of far larger comprehen sive capacity. This man, in my judgmcut, is ouo of that class of men. I consider him a man or siugglsh nature; he is fond of pleasure and devoted to enjoyment; and wilt occupy himself with thoBe things to the exclusion of business as he has shown a disposition to do. But when a crista In our ail'alrs occurs you will Und ho will apply hlmseir to business with tar more industry than is agrocable to the country. (Applause.) Just such business, I mean, as this in reference to Georgia; and which he may next advise with reference to some oilier State. And it may happen that he will (ram such power, and be enabled by combinations of army power anil the netrroes In the South to overcome the Northern people. I do not, therefore, think the Democratic party has any light duty in the coming campaign. Vou have not pledged jourself to any light duty In .mat widen you nave uunerianen ; juu win nave sin. ilclentto occunv yourselves from this time forth. You will not. perhaps, have to content yourselves with these resolutions which have been read, but yon will have to frame resolutions of a far different cnaracter.

The New York Tribune has haa placed in its ear the accompanying large-sized flea. Tun Tbi.cokai'H yesterday very Innocently published the Tribune' account. After this, of course, we shall know better : To the E-lltor of tho 7i6n Sir: Perhaps no man ever experienced a more genuine Burprlso than Captain Samuel Hutchinson, Jr., master of the ship Honors, a i ho opened your paper this morning, and found that he had been the subject of an item aud an editorial headed as above. The statement which some one has palmed off upou your paper Is simply ridiculous, and is used to compel the settlement or one or tlioBO miserable esses or wiiges, and assault und buttery, with which every shlp-mustcr Is aitllcted, who from time to time comes into the port of New York. The facts In this case are sluiply these: The sail ors mentioned In your article, having received their advance and other mtmet so that they were Indebted to the ship, deserted rrom her at Yloilo, Philippine Islands. Her mnster, as in duty bound, arrested them for desertion, had them placed by the authorities of the Island In the fort., without close contlnement, where they remained till the vessel was ready for sea. when the master went to the fort to take them atioard. The men refused to go, repcatolly and openly threatening that ir they were taken aboard they would murder the master and officers, in con sequence of which the authorities of the Isla'id sent six of them aboard In irons. There being no United States Consul at Yloilo, the ship proceeded to Ma nilla, where the men were handed over to tho Vrilted States Consul, who put them in Jail and kept them there until they consented to go aboard and attend to their duties In an orderly manner. Three diivs tiefore tho ship sailed from Manilla three of them came aboard, promising repentance and obe dience, and came with the vessel to New YorK. The others were paid oir and discharged by orders of the Consul. As to confinement on tho ship, we have only to say hat the men were ironed In as easy a manner ns hey could be and lie securely kept, so that the lives of the officers whom they had threatened might be seure. They were confined In the between decks, which Is a space 200 feet long, lib reet wide, 6)4 rent high, with nothing in it except a few cases of camphor, which occupied not over one-rortleth part or tlie ho tween decks. This roomy place was well ventilated, having a scuttle opening trom it into the cabin. The hatches were not closed in the day time, except once in a violent hurricane. Five hundred men could have occupied the place with comfort. As to dialing or ankles and wrists, and rotton fl-sti, aid nith In the hold, Captain, llutchluson received the tlrst knowledge or intimation oi an tnese things inrougn your paper to-day. The story or the putrid meat at Hiolo Is disposed of by the fact that all the meat used aboard tlte ship, in port, was fresh from the shore every day, and parts of the same animal were used by master, offi cers, and crew. Captain Hutchinson Is a resident of Salem, Massachusetts has been a shipmaster for twenty years, sailing for the best houses in th States; never has beeu suspected, mnch less charged with abuse of any sailor, aud alleges that the story In yonr paper was made up out of whole cloth for the purpose of compelling the settlement of tbe suit for wages. lie has retained ns to defend the case, and wo shall show the exact truth of every statement we have made. Respectfully, GOODRICH tc WHKRI.SM, No. f-9 Wall street, New York, Dec 9. 189. A KITCHEN ROW. War Hetween a Boardlnff-IIoiine Keeper and tstlltM Help What It Coma to Pummel a lllddr. The bnrly proprietor of a fashionable boarding house In WeBt Sixteenth Btreet, who nnblushingly confesses that his name Is Poppy, had the misfor tune to meet In one of his "help" a girl who refused to accept the opinion or hlmseir and housewives in general touching the characteristics or her class as pure gospel. She was something or a lawyer; her name was Mary Morris. It does appear that there was any fault in her manner of procedure, and it is not stated any whera that her salary was high or her fees exorbitant. Poppy, however, calculated that if Mary could do chamberwork and yet make the house ring with laughter and blithe songs, she could also do tne laundry work or the establishment. Whether she could be lolly in the latter circumstances was nothing to him. Visions of a maiden weeping over a washlub never disturbed his dreams. He was a philosopher and she waa a "help;" he was an em ployer and she a servaut ; ergo, Mary must do double work for the same pay. But Poppy was diplomatic, as well as philosophic, and broached the subject to the wondering Mary In u speech as smooth as soft soap. When he had finished he twirled his angers and paused for a reply. He got it. Mary claimed belligerent rights, twitted him about wages, sneered at the mangling business, and vociferated such a loud "No 1" in his astonished ears that his eyebrows went up, the corners or his mouth went down, and he stood the picture of de feat. A smile stole over the thin features or the victori ous Mary as with arms akimbo and her chignou as a render she leaned against the kitchen wall. But Poppy was not driven rrom his fell purpose aneiit the mangle by the demonstrative negative. Not at all. lie merely called his eyebrows down again and whistled up his mouth. What he said need not be published ; what he did is worthy of record. RSoniebody, who had nothing '.better to do, has given to the world his opinion that acts or heroism done In domestic lire deserve public applause much more than feats or daring on the battle-field. Poppy felt the full force of the observation, and prepared to cover clmself with glory.Squarlug hlmseir before the now thoroughly alarmed domestic, and calling upon the shades of the departed Poppies to witness his achievement, he struck out from the shoulder. and smashed Mary In tho right eye. Down went the chambermaid, over went Poppy. Tho boarders declared the blow a foul. Poppy retired smiling, und poorMury had "a bead" on her. Tho injured woman went, as soon as Bhe was able to go out, to a lawyer aud put the casein his hands. The result was an action for damages against Foppv. Tbe case came up before Judge Curt ihs in the'Marine Court yesterday. The defen dant did not appear. After testimony had been taken Judge Curtiss remarked that a mun who would strike a woman was not entitled to the merer or consideration of the Court. butHhonld receive the penalty merited by his brutal instincts, and that it never was cowardice to fly from a woman, and that the hero Ih the "Honeymoon" spoke truly in say lug, "1 he man who lays his hand upon a woman, save in the way of kindness, Is a wretch whom It were base flattery to call a villain." Poppy not having shown the leaht regard for What lost a world und mln a hero fly The timid tear in Cleopatra's eye the Court gave judgment rorthe plaintiff In f iTiO damsges and costs. .V. P.

Forepaugh's Menagerie, at Connersville, Indiana, afewdajs since, was the scene of terrible excite ment, can Bed by the wicked old elephant "Koineo" having concluded to free himself from tho control of man. it wl'l be remembered that Korepaugh pur chased of Shcrlrt' Weber "Lalla ltookh," the female elephant rormerly belonging to Dr. Thayer's circus. Miss "Lal'a" was taken out to the winter quarters at Connersville, where she behaved herseir with be coming propriety until last Monday evening, when she happened to remember that according to ele phant chronology this Is leap year, so she very deliberately freed herself of her chains and strolled to where "dear Romeo' " was standing, meditating over his happy days in the jungles of Africa. When morning dawned the keeper concluded to Bend the handsome maiden buck to her quarters, which was very much ayalnst the wishes of her uulo friend, who showed his resentment by throwing the keeper a distance of thirty reet against the t-ldo or the house. A dog came next, and In the twinkling or an eye he was crushed Into a mere pulp, ready io be boiled down In the tank of the Fertilizing Com pany.

As a last resort a lew loans or snot were poured against his trunk, which caused him to howl with pain, and while he was weeping over the great abuse shown him, a strong cable was quickly slipped around oiih of his beautiful ankles, the Til VU Uf4rA pulled, and against his most earnest protes's Komeo was forcad to He down on his Bide.

On trial. Court of Quarter Nenslona Juris; Paoi, Assistant District Attorney Dwlght prosecuting. Both pilsnn docks were crowded this morning. George Washington, colored, pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing a barrel or cider, which he was seen to steal Iroui the front ot a store. Joseph Mootly pleaded guilty to acha.ge of larceny as bailee or money. The proor was thu nfteen aol lurs were placed In his hands by the prosecutor, with which to buy apples tor him, anil he spent only a portion or it for this purpose and retained t'ie balance for his own use. Mr. Dwlght frankly said to the Court that these facts did not sustain the Indictment charging larceny ns bailee, and as a pnor niau In the dock w.s as mnch entitled to protection as the weilthl r defendant who could employ counsel, ho would ak that the plea of guilty be allowed to be withdrawn, and one ot not guilty entered, and a uolU prosequi entered. This was permuted, ami me prisoner was still retained in custody, in order to see if a bill or Indictment could not be framed t;t mvet this state of racts, Thomas Carr and James Grlffln were tried for rob bing oillcer Kuhu, or the Harbor Police. Mr. Rutin test Hied that bet ween 1 and 'J o'clock m the morning or November 2b, being off duty, he wus going homo from a beer saloon at Third and Vine streets, btdng dressed in citizen's clothing, and at Cailowhlll and New Market streets he met four or live men, who were walking, as he was, up New M irket street, An alarm of lire then sounded, and one of tho party asked hi in where tho Urn was, and was answered. They walked on a few steps, and again one of the men approached him and asked him where was the tire and how the officer could tell. While the oillcer was explaining the signals, this man put one arm to his chin, and pushing him vio lently back, tripped him to the ground. Another man came up, and the two beat him cruelly, and took his watch from him. When ' he got up, one ef them said that If he made any alarm he would blow his brains out, and put his hand to his breast, as if to draw a weapon. This man was Carr. Immediately, as if to anticipate any alarm, Griffin knocked him down and both kicked him about the head and shoul ders. When he got up tho second time he drew his pistol and shot Grlffln, who attempted to es cape, but was caught by another officer, who at that momcat came up. Kuhn, being at tired in citizen's dress, was also arrested and es corted to the station house; out on the way Carr joined the crowd, an If surprised at what had oc curred, but Mr. Kuhn, recognizing him, seized him aud took him along. In answer to this it was maintained that though Carr was with the party that Kuhn met at Cailowhlll and New Market streets, he took no part in the attack upon the policeman, and also a good charac ter was testified to. Grtmn not being represented by counsel, no defense was made in his behalf. On trial. Court of (Joarter Sessions Judge Pclree. Assistant District Attorney Pratt prosecuting.
