PIIILADELPIIIAPS DISGRACE
HEATHENDOM AT HOME
WHAT. MS BEEN DONE TOR IT
WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE
We have given our. readers , some insight
into the condition of a district of Philadelphia
of which they know very little.. .We have
shown them a.glimpse or two of Bedford
street and its neighborhood,for the purpose of
.awaking public interest through the motive of
public shame, to an evil and disgrace which
we cannot aflord to live under.
To-day we look a little further. We are not
taking otir readers Into the inner. circles of
Bedford-Street vice and misery. We are net
writing for sensation; and we do not care to
shock decent people, with the whole truth'
about the 'scenes that are so common in the
,dens and cellars and garrets we have been ek
ploring. It is enough that we are telling less
than the „whole ugly, bleek,,yile truth. It is
quite. enough that imagination cannot easily
exaggerate its pictures of Bedford street life.
While' We stand talking to Mr. Long, 0:
woman ~yet young, and but for dirt, and rag
gedness, and cominonSbritise below her eye,
not conies Hp bare-headed, ...end . :
"Mr. Long, I want you to swear me Off froni
liquor"
"I . have noticed you about here," said ho,
'Ter two or three weeks. Where ls your
home?"
"My Mother lives in B— street, and she
has agood,home." • •
• • "Have you any children?" .
"I've one child, and when I took to rum, I
put her in the Union Home, and my imither ,
took her out."
"Does she take good care of her?"
"Yes, sir, she's got a good home." •
,"Where is your husband?"
The woman'aface darkened instantly into a
bitter frown as she amswered: •
"He lives with my mother; but he beat me
once, and I'll never go back to him. I want you
to swear me off from liquor,and then I'm going
over to Jersey, to pick peas."
Mr. - Long took the poor creature into the
Mission House, t and while he wrote a tempe
rance pledge for her, we asked her if she
thought she could keep it.
"Yes," said she, with much determination,
snore off before for six months and I kept
it nine months; and now 111 swear off for a
year. I can get plenty of work, if I can keep
off the rum."
She made her mark to the pledge with an
arm broken by a drunken fall, and tucking the
paper carefully away in her bosom, went her
- way, as we hoped, to make a fresh effort for
au honest and sober livelihood. In such work
as this the Missionary is constantly employed,
and it was easy to see how much influence Mr.
Long had gained among young and old, by
his patient, pleasant, persevering way of bat
tling to save these wretched people fromthein
selves.
The Board. of Health has commenced a work
of purification in this district, which begins to
show. We found Bedford,Spafford and Baker
streets in an admirably clean condition. Mr.
Bickley, the contractor, has a most excellent
Superintendent, Robert McCarron, a canny
Scot, whom we found fbllowing up his sweep
ers and scrapers, and seeing that his
work was thoroughly done. This
.much can be . said for the streets
of the district, but the Board of Health has a
great deal to do with all manner of filth and
nuisances in thelittle courts, and back yards
and cellars, and Cess-pools of Bedford, Spafibrd,
St. Mary's_ Ciillen — and Other streets. The
work has been begun, and we are assured that,
it will be pushed iorward faithfully and vig
orously. . .
The 'Blinding Inipectors are- also lending
their aid. , in co-operation with those actively
engaged in the Bedford Street Mission, they
are ordering the demolition of the worst of the
old rookeries, as no longer safe. Some have
already been torn down and others are soon to
follow. Two or three.substantial brick three
story lieu Sea 'have . been built in Bedford
street, / and even - if they should be
deVoted to the same wicked trades that aro the
chief business of the district, they will set en
example of outward decency and, at the same
time, be such profitable investments, that they
will serve a most important purpose in the re
formation Of the neighborhood. Every good,
comfortable brick house built in Bedford
street will be a direct benefit to the whole
neighborhood.
Much is being done in the way of correcting
the worst abuses of the ruin-sellers, those fruit
ful sources of most of the miseries of these
miserable people. Some of the lowest and
most disorderly of these grog shops have
already been closed, and their proprietors
turned over to the tender mercies of the
and what has been clone in this direction is
but the precursor of what is coming.
The Bedford Street Mission, with its de
voted missionary and teacher, has worked
steadily forward for years past,amid all the dis
couragements that are presented by this de
graded neighborhood. It is working upon the
principle that to reform this outcast popula
tion they must have a chance given them to
be clean and decent and„comfortable. It has
established schools and religious service, but
it has also organized its A3lans
for benefitting the physical condition of the
people. Its modest little free bath-house, with
its two tubs, is doing as much work as its
schools and services. At different hours of the
day, women, girls and boys are furnished
gratuitously with warm and cold baths, and on
the day before our visit, one hundred and
fifty-nine baths had been dispensed. Seventy
five persons had already bathed, on the day of
oftr visit, and the number was probably
doubled before the baths closed.
El crc is a practical point for the philanthopy
+of Philadelphia. Give this quiet, un-sectarian
Missiowthe means to erect upon the lot Which
it alread'y.owns a proper bath-house and other
conveniences, and a great additional force will
be set to Work for the regeneration of the
neighborhood.
We believe in reaching the inward. nature
of the population of Bedford street from with•
out, through the proper supply of their physi
cal wants. 4 large proportion of them do not
want to live in dirt and rags and Wretched
ness. They do not prefer their condition amoral
and physical degradation. They will be better
if they get a chance. But it needs something
more titan human to live amid such
scenes and associations, to consort with so
much crime and dirt and immorality, to sleep
on bare floors, to eat the cold victuals that
have been begged from door to door, to see
nothing but mot; and wreck and ruin all
around, and not sink to the common level.
Bedford street makes its fiopulation, and the veni- 1 1
lotion does not make Bedford street. Encourage
its population to be clean outwardly, and they
can . . we •
houses to live in, and 'ales , will work hard to
live decently in them. There will still be
thieves and beggars and prostitutes and "btun
mers," but they will be fewer in number; ant
will, at least, live their lives out with some
privacy, and not brazen (Mt their wickodnes.
with the low shamefulness that now make.
Bedford street the disgrace of Philadelphia.
Many -.:of thege poor creatures • gathere

respect is one of the best proofs that the in
habitants of Bedford street and its vicinity
low as they have fallen, are not yet beyon
the reach of reformation, if any chance i
.given to rise, or any helping hand reached out
.to lift them up to a more decent life.
- Whatever other agencies are to he employed

Knights Templar a brief reference to the his
tory and principles of the Order may not be
uninteresting. ' The tenets of the Order of,
Knlghts Templar, in .common :with those of
other Masonic Orders, are founded upon tradi
tion oral rather than written.' ' Only. those
.who have passed througb. the Blue Lodge and
Chapter degrees, as Free Masons, are, eligible
as Knights, and a Knight Templar •by vir
tue of knighthood, a Knight of the Red ."Cross'
and a Knight of Malta. . ;
The original Knights, of whom there were
only four, - bound themselves each to the ether
for mutual support, and were bound to keep
the road clear from .Toppa, to Jerusaleni. 'These
few were the nucleus of a mighty Order that .
soon spread throughout Christendom ; with
power:to dictate dynasties and ControlthroneS.
Peter the Hermit was a Knight Templar, and
the pages of history are emblazoned with the
names of TemPlars who were finned in 'the
Crusades :The honds"Of unity, in this Christian
organization: are to-day identical -with .those
.that, gave
,Strerigthi' pew& and 'glory

belted Knights in the longts

the Saracens, and while in Ws Christian age
their objects are more diffuse, and while the
Order maintainS • its existence in a inodi
tied form, its benevolence and grandeur
of humanity shed' its benign influence
throughout the world. Quiet and nnobtril
sive, the Templar of modern times.makesno merit' of virtues and neble chaiiieS, ex- -
tended with a heroism no le.s sublime.hccause
unvaunted, than that which gave the - halo of
glory and renown to its illustrious founders. •
At the bedside of the sick, at the grave of. the . .
dead, assuaging the grief of the widow, dry
ing the tears of the orphans, maintaining the
good name of a Brother, healing diticordin
families, in communities, in nations; not in
panoply and steel cuirass, with lance in rest
and vizor down, but with quiet step and out
stretched hand, striving against the frailties of
weak humanity, doing the work of the Master.
In hoc bifino Vinces is his watchword; the Holy •
Cross las embleni, and He who died to save
sinners his guide and example.
The history of the Templar Order may be
thus sunimaialy. expressed: It was established
in 1118, suppressed in 1312 by Clement V.; and
Philip the - rfur, King of France, after whieh
the Templars and Knights Hospitalers of St.
John of Jerusalem were incorporated into one
body. In 10J1 they took up their residence in
Cyprus, and afterwards went to Rhodes and
took the name of Knights of Rhodes. In 1530
the Emperor Charles V. of Spain conferred
'on them the Island of Malta,—hence they re
eeived the name of Knights of Malta, of: the
Order of St. John of Jerusalem. When resii.
ding on the Island of Malta they established
their Preceptories throughout Europe, and
from all of three conclaves, in Ireland, Scot=
land and England, the Knights of Penn
sylvania may be said to trace their
origin. After the Revolutionary War the
brethren commenced the work of resuscitating
the Order. Masonic Templarism having been
first established in Pennsylvania by the First
Grand Encampment. which met in Philadel
phia on the 12th of May, 1797, this State is en!-
titled to the honor of haying introduced the
Orders of Christian Knighthood into the
United States, deriving her work from the
English, Scottish and Irish rituals, the from,
former of which use the same ritual since 1791 1 7
The Convention which assembled in Philadel
phia, May 12, 1797, had delegates from Nos. 1
and 2 of Philadelphia, N 0.3 of Harrisburg,,and
No. 4of Carlisle, whose respective organza,
beds took place froni 1793 to ,1797. in 1812;
Nos. 1 and 2 became consolidated' as NO. 1;
and on the Bth of June, 1819, St. John's Coni r
mandery, No. 4, had issued to it a charter,
which was accepted, and the Commandery
organized on the 15th of the same month. It
sill therefore be fifty years of age on Tiles-
day next. ' • •

The charter of this Commandery, which has
done so much to encourage the spread of tho
principles of the Order, is as follows'; •

men for the army of the Cuban patriots; and
that they have men enongh, in the island, and
all they want. for 'them ,is arms and aanmuni

-Hudson City. at 11 A. M., the' -Philadelphians
sending in Pearson and Lange, in their second
innings •against. the bowling of Norley ,and
Butterfield. The weather was not as favorable
as on the day previous, as it was decidedly:
cloudy and threatened rain every hour.. ,
n
Pearsoopened'tpla3rat--411100 , by getting a
couple of Norley's first balls, and he also pun : .
ished Butterfield in his first over for two twos,
and" he 'MI'S ; apparently herwas
obliged to retire owing teihis playing alfall off Norley-,on to his; leg.stumpP, the first wicket
falling for 8.. Magee and 'Lange now' Joined
forces, and for half an hour they defended
their stumps Skillfully,- arid' abfo added a con=
siderable number of runs to the ' score;
Lange contributing 18, marked by a fine leg
hit, for 4, a - ,eut , , and a firiVe'!for: - -s'.'eneli, and

when he was , • beautifully caught at• wicket by
Cross eft Butterfield, the third wicket
for the large score of 72, thus leaving the Phil,
adelphians 'in very favorable position fop ul
timate success. ~I'revions to. ii.cpkinsens. re;
tirement, rain had commence(' to fall from
the SinithWest, and. the' game had to - he sus--
pended for" a4 - barter of an hour, 'tiie
ground now baying been ' made ivet, and
the ball slippery. This, under ' ordinary 'cir;
cumstances, would have been favorable -for
the bat, but from the time the rain fell the
Philadelphians began to fall off in their bat,
ting, and after Hflipkinson's, retirement, the
next three wickets fell for an addition of but
four runs to the score, Magee being . Welicaught
by Hill for a finely-obtained 31, in which
square leg hit for 5, three threes and three
twos were prominent. Outerbridge allowed a
ball from Butterfield to roll on his wicket for
a single, and Newbald returned a ball to Nor=
ley before he had. troubled the scorers. Bar;
clay had scored five singles, and Brewster two
twos, when the rain fell so rapidly as to neces;
sitate a second postponement, and while in the
club house the players and guestsponsoled
themselves With good.dinner.
,
At 3.20 the rain creased, or rather it resolved
itself into a tine mist, and the contestants once
more resumed their places in the field. After
running up the score to 93, Barclay and Biewi
ster were parted. Barclay being very singul
larly disposed of , a rising ball "glancing off WS
pad anti falling on his' head, caromed .on the
bails, he retiring for 12, marked by 2 cuts for 2
each.
Afterwards, Brewster and Harris got
gether, and their grand batting ran up the
score to 126,Brewster retiring for 15, in which
was a tine "hit and four twos, and Harris run=
nina up 18 in short order, a tine hit to square
leg for four being prominent, also two threes.
The last wicket fell for 127, leaving WI
George 90 runs to get,. and an hour and flft3t
minutes tngetthera -m. The last four: men
were . disposed Of by catches off Norloy,''well
by Nerley)ii.ntsolf; Gibbs, Butterfield
and Cross.
Without delay St. George sent in Hance and
Hall to the howling of .111ag,ee and Brewster;
and 17 were run up before the first wicket fell,
of which Bance secured a dozen by five two
hits and a single; Hill batting well for„9";
Robinson added 10, marked by aleg -hit ( fOt 3,

141GATION OF THE UNITED STATES, ST. PETERSBURG,
Russin, Feb. 9,1869.—5ir: Captain T. Morris Ulteiter, ,
late of the United titates Volunteer Army being. in St.
Petersburg, coming well recommended by distinguished
citizens of the United Stud's, and being also well Mu,'
crated and , of good address, I called upon the Minister oil
Foreign Affairs and told him that I wouldnot apply in ,
the usual way by note to have Captain Chceter,a coloretl
American citizen, presented to his Imperial Majesty, van
there was no precedent, and I did not know how his
pedal Majesty would be - disposed to act; but I desired'
that, lie : would approach his Imperial - Majesty in;
an Informal way. anti ascertain his wishes la this regard:
The Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr, De West-,
mann, acquiesced in the proposal', - and In a few days'
wrote me that the Emperor had given orders to have'
Captain Chester's name put upon the list for tho
presentation. To-day, being the occasion of a grand re-,
view of the Imperial Guard, the Emperor sent an invite-,
don to Captain. Chester toassist In the review, which be
did, riding around with his Imperial Majesty's staff, ands
telt mg lunch at the Winter palace with the staff offlcera
and a portion of the Imperial family,' who - aceempanied,
the Emperor at the lunch.

and elevate the African race in America, and Inspire

them: with 'all :Possible self-respect , 'and Prepare 'them
for that ultimate influence *lnch they must sooner or
later have upon the political and economical interests ofi
the United States. These are the views which, have
