tles:leen was c.ssentially immoral, ,Thec.hallenge
which,be, threw down to foi-Imistirs has been
„U'kela Up by Mr. Trollope with equal gallantry.
The issue between then is distinct,- though it
lad been complicated in the resulting contro
versies by some irrelevant discussions, and de
serves a little examination. It is not only in
aereStkilgin itself; btit<wii belound to illustrate
some `Morn' POints'of casuistry,' '

With sorrow of tlie meanest thing that lives

e Matter. of .amusement. This maxim
condemns the .•gladiaterial shows, and . con
demns with equal, 'plainness, though not of
'tome with equal severity, the bull-baiting' or
'eock-lighting of•the last generation. :It is im
'possible, .Mr:, , Freeman added, to draW any
distinct' ' between these confessedly de
moralizing practices and the Beld-sports which
publie.Apiion still tolerates or admires. , . If we
willbe logical we must condemn every form of
aumsements in.which the infliction of torture
• is the ultimate end or the inevitable accom
paniment.- Fox-himting is better than bull-.
baiting in so far as it causes less suffering or at
any rate less conspicuous suffering ; but when
one is given up the other must ultimately, fol
low. The principle, whether sound or un
sound, is at least unequivocal and gives a dis
tinct rule - of action. .
In answer to this principle, which Mr. Free
man:worked out with characteristic vi g or and
abundance of historical illustration, Mr. Trot-'
lope uses various arguments of more or less
cogency. One which he dOes not use ex
plicitly is naturally brought to our minds. The
fact that Mr. Trollope is himself a fox-hunter
is enough to prove to any one familiar with his
writings that fox-hunting is not of necessity in
compatible with keen perceptions and manly
abhorrence of cruelty.
We kill a fox, he says, in search of a healthy
and invigorating pleasure; we kill an ermine
to git abit of fur to' make a pretty tippet for a
lady. On what principle can we condemn the
first and justify the second practice, although
the pleasure procured - in the first instance is far
greater and more healthy,and the pain inflicted,
not worse ? Putting this in more general
terms, we have here the obvious 'utilitarian ar
guinent: We calculate the quantities of pain
and pleasure produced by a given practice, and
determine our judgment by comparing them.
If we open a creditor and debtor account in the
ease of fox-hunting, we have on the one side
pleasure to a large number of men, dogs and
horses, including of course the good effects
upon the health and morality of the persons
employed; and on the other side we have but z
a few minutes' suffering to the fox. Mr. Trot/
lope goes further and,reckons the fox's previotts
`happy existence. We doubt the legitimacy of
this item, because we should also have,.to
,in
elude the results to the rabbits and other, ani
mals which follow from the fox's strunle for
existence. The problem would become too .
complex for solution. But taking into account
merely the direct effects of the hunt, we may
assume that there is a • clear balance of
happiness produced by the practice. This
is clearly a strong argument. It
might be successfully alleged in many
Other cases. The propriety of eating
animal food has been denied by some theorists,
on grounds of humanity ; but it is plain that .
=eh humanity should be repudiated by
nobody more emphatically than by the sheep
or ox, which has a short but happy life, ter
minated by a speedy death, in place of simple
extermination. The North American buffa
loes would probably compound for existence,
•if they could be consulted, on the terms of
supplying butcher's meat to their subduers. A
similar argument may be employed in some
apparently more doubtful cases, such as vivi
section. If that practice is adopted, not
wantonly, but for genuine scientific purposes ;
if it is conducted so as to cause the least pos
sible pain, and if it really appears to lead to
valuable medical discoveries, it may be con
tended that it isNpermissible to purchase such
great benefits at the cost of suffering, in par
ticular cases, such as no fox ever endured
from hunting.
There is, however,
still a difficulty in making ,
the application of the argument. For, in
the first place, we assume that in such cases
every care is, or ought to be, taken to make
the suffering as little as possible. We do not
admit that it is ever allowable to torture an
animal unnecessarily, as,for example, to bleed a
calf to death in order to improve the meat. There
is undoubtedly something revolting in such
practices, even though the pleasure to the eater
exceeds re sufferings to the brute. But, in the
next place, the argument proves too much. It
would be hard to prove that even a gladiatorial
show did not give more pleasure than pain. A
small number of men died a sudden death, in
order to amuse many thousand spectators. If •
they bad lived, they would probably have led
wretched and brutal lives. Who can say that
the total of human happiness was not in
creased by their destruction?
The answer to this is obvious, and brings us
a step further. The utilitarian test applied in
this rough fashion is plainly unsatisfactory.
If the gladiatorial show gave pleasure, it ought
not to have given pleasure ; the fact that it did
so proved that the minds of the spectators were
so brutalized and degraded that they were in
capable of the purer kinds of enjoyment.
They must have bad a strong barbarous ele
ment within them, which was strengthened by
'their indulgence in sights of blood and torture.
The immediate benefit in the shape of pleasure
was neutralized by what we may Call the dyna
mic effect of the practice—by its tendency to
lower the social tone and the moral health of
the persons engaged in it. It is from
this point of view that we must treat
the fox-hunting problem. Fox-hunting does
Riot, it may be, injure the moral
nature of its devotees, and perhaps in a very
rude state of society the same might be said of
man-hunting. Before the humane instincts
were called into even rudimentary action, the
excitement might be useful, and the cruelty
involved be no more degrading than it degrades
a cat to torture a mouse. Of course, at a very
early period man-hunting would bedtime de
moralizing, and Mr. Freeman argues that the
same will one day be the case with regard to
fox-hunting. If oursympathies extend through
out the brute creation, and our imaginations
become more lively; the pleasure of pursuit
would be neutralized by our pity for the
. animal. Mr. Trollope tells us that we would
kill a hundred flies without remorse to
make a room rather more comfortable.
Most. people would; but every one haS
admired Uncle Toby when, instead of killing a
he"puts it outside the window, and remarks
that there is room enough in the world for him
and it. If our sensibilities became generally
as keen as uncle Toby's, we should probably
shrink . from fox-bunting. It is true, as Mr.
Trollope very properly urges, that the fox's
sufferings are not seen by one person in twenty,
and that no part of the pleasure is derived from
actually witnessing his torture. This is enough
to raise fox-hunting altogether above the bru
tal sporth in which the tortures of an animal are
brought vividly before the eyes of the specta
. tor. A man , requires an incomparably more
' -,brutal temper to watch a badger-baiting than
to , assistiiii - a fox-hunt, even assuming that
the aufferingS.of the two animals are equal.
Dirt if our imaginations were more lively
and 'our ,sympathies keener, we should feel for
the I,OA, even though he is invisible, and should
ref,to iinrchase pleasure at the price of Iris
„ torment& The fact that the suffering is more

cognized; it matters littlelvbether it is visible'
or concealed. h would be the better for\ the`r
'fox If he could convey his „feellngsif,more dis

qUestiou, therefore, may be stated ; thus '-•••-•
whether it is desirable that , Our - -"symPathies',
'with aheast should be so keen'that 'we, should
be incapable of deriving pleasure from a prac
tice which is necessarily painful to him ? If
so, a practice which deadens that sympathy
should be discouraged..
We must add that, before this is decided, it
is still necessary to take into account, the vari
ous benefits, social and sanitary, which are
purchased by the fox's MisfortuneS;und we
should .fairly consider the remarkable argument
that the fox likes it. Of course, if it is a plea
sure to, him, the whole .dispate the
ground. • As, howeyer,,:. theae,..:. questions are
rather too large for discussion here, we shall
leaiethe'poitit"iiiridecided ; . and will' only nO-.
tice in conclusion the one or two resiilts Which
falkivifrona , this way of stating the - probleth.
In the first place; thereis a broad distinction
between killing animals: for our amusement,
' and killing them for the sake of their flesh or
their skins. Billing in the way of business
may be conducted with the strictest possible
humanity, ..and the . objeCt ' is in .
fact to put as speedy an end 'as possible: to'a
beast which has led a happy life. We proba
bly secure for the creatures ;which we eat . .the,
greatest, amount of enjoyment of • which • they
are capable, But a man would be a - brute
who enjoyed butchering for its own sake, and
went to ,the slaugliter-hpriSe as to a plaCe of
annisement. butcher of refined tastes
would find nothinr , in his profession incorripati-'
bk with ` the most humane feeling. But
a man Who protracts snfferings, or- runs the
risk, of protracting them, in order to extract
pleasure from , the pursuit, or 'to display
his skill in the art of slaughter, is certainly
nupting a risk of hardening his ',sensibility
to 'animal' pain. The trappermay . do
his best to put .his victims,opt of thelr misery/
at, once ; the sportsman is .tempted
prolong their miseries for his own pleasure or
glorification. Secondly; Mr. Trollope is scarcely .
'fair in Suggesting that Mr. Freeman .would
encourage a morbid sentimentalityiAir desires
a ",soft-hearted, rose-leaved,
.ireivet"' life' for"
animals in general. lir. Freeraa'n weintagine;
desires that aniuth3 should he / put:to death for
all kinds of purposes, but, that we should:love
them toe much to enjoy pitting them to death,
or to enjoy any - amusement of which the inflic
tion of death is an ess'ential part. It is not the
fact, to which he objects, but the sentiment, by
which it is accorripanied. Nor is there any
thing necessarily. morbid in . such a sen
timent. man may be as con
scions as possible of the manifold evils
and sufferings in the world, and as determined
to use all necessary means for promoting
general happiness at the price of individual
sufferings; however soft his heart. He may be,
in favor of capital punishment, though he
would loathe the sight of an execution.
Courage is not produced by a general dullness
of feeling, nor is it incompatible with the keen
est sensibilities. The most cowardly races in
flict suffering on others, and even snhmit.° to it
themselves with the most stolid indifference.
There is nothing inconsistent in the character
of a man who .wonld go under fire with the
daring of a.Nelson, and yet shrink from: hurt
ing a fox or even a fly unnecessarily.
The progress of civilization which
has made us revolt against the coarse brutali
ties which were necessary to tickle the dull
palates of our savage ancestors has not in any"
degree diminished our readiness to' meet
danger, or even to adopt stern remedies in ease
of necessity. We feel, it is true, a stronger
conviction that pain is an evil, even when we
do net suffer it ourselves, and are more anxious
to reduce it to a minimum ; but we may feel
an equal conviction that it is a necessity under
many, circumstances, and an equal readinessto
encounter it. The morbid sentimentality of
which Mr. Trollope speaks, and which cer
tainly exists in many cases, must be en
countered, not by deadening our sympathies,
but by increasing our motives to heroic action
in case of need.—Saturday Rcriew.
ROME,.
The Papal Allocution—Gorgeous Scenes. '
The Roman correspondent of the New York
Tritatme,describing the scene at the delivery of
the allocution by the Pope, says: •
The spectacular splendor which attended the
delivery of this simple "Allocution," presented
a foretaste of the imposing pomp and ceremony
which will characterize the proceedings of the
Council. The magnificent Sistine Chapel was
arranged with special reference to the visual
effect of the occasion. The usual seats of the
Cardinal-deacons had been removed, and they
were placed on the left of the Papal Throne.
On the right were; the cardinals belonging to
the order of bishops 'and priests; in front were
the patriarchs, the primates, and the arch
bishops; and on the benches, facing the altar,
the bishops, the abbes millius, and the generals
of religious orders. The scene was gay
and brilliant beyond description. Nothing
but the lively colors of the painter could
represent a spectacle which defies the resources
of language. All the hues of the rainbow
were combined in the costumes of the cede
siastics, from the purple of the Cardinals to the
violet of the bishops and resplendent attire of
the Oriental prelates, presenting a display of
variegated beauty that one of the imaginative
Romans compares to "a celestial flower
garden." The Pope himself wore over his
white vestments, the most superb religious de
corations, which no son of the Puritans may
venture to Call by name. Upon his entrance
into the Chapel, all the assembled Fathers fell
upon their knees, and a thrill of sacred en
thusiasm seemed to pervade, the venerable
convocation. His Holiness offered • the
papal benediction, with the usual effusion of
holy water, and having performed
his devotions before the altar, ascended the
throne. The Pope exhibits no marks of age
or infirmity. Ile walks with a vigorous step,
and is unwearied in accomplishing the routine
of official duty. Almost every (lay brings the
report of his pastoral visit to some of the
churches or charities of the city, which he
watches over with the assiduity of a parish
priest. Ills "Allocution" was delivered in a
sonorous voice, and was listened to with pro
found attention by the assembly of the clergy.
At the close of the discourse the ,Cardinals
Antonelli and Grassellini took their places
on the right and left of the Pope,
while Cardinal Clarelli, . Secretary. of
" Briefs," announced the names of the
five cardinals who are to preside over
the general congregations of the Council, and
those of the higher officers, of whom I have
given you a list in a previous letter. During
the ceremony, the Prince Orsini, wearing the
robes of prince 4tendant on the throne, Was
introduced into the Chapel, and having kissed
the Pope's foot, took his post on the steps of
the throne. The officers .of the Council who
were in be " qualified,", to use the. Ameri
can official term, knelt in a circle before
the Pone ' while Bishop jacobini,; under-secre
tary of the Council, read the form of the
oath which they were about to take. A'
copy of the Four Gospels was then plaCed
upon the knees of the Pope by the' Cardinals
Antonelli and Grasselini, and each of the' offi
cers to be sworn, with his bands resting' on the
book, repeated, in turn the following words :
I "the name of the prelate and of bis . ollle.e),
declare, and vow, and swear as inthe formula
now read. So help•me God, and His Holy
Evangelists." Each prelate then kissed the
book and the Pope's feet, and quietly with
drew. At the close of the ceremony the Pope
arose and. again gave his benediction to the as
sembly, and, after praying , for a morrientike
fore the foot of the altar, retired front the
Chapel through the door of the sacristy.

anarchy Just kept, under by the authority of
presetiption and tradition ; and one cau only
hope for the new order from the complete re
e6gnition that it, is to have no arbitrail or
capricious foundation,
The London Saturda# Review thinks the in
juries which the fanaticism and indiscretion of
the present Pope may have inflicted on the
Roman. Catholic Church may indeed produce
indirectly g,reat political results. There is pro
bably no risk mf a formal ,secession; : but the
:existence ,of profound differenceS among high
`ecclesiastical authorities has been unnecessarily
revealed, and general,attention has been once
more called to the half-forgotten forgeries on
which many of the claims of the Holy See are
based. For all ' purposes of aggression or re
sistance the Roman Catholic Church is weaker
than at the commencement of• the reign ,of
Pius DC ; and a portion of the loss must be
attributed to his restless vanity. But for his
imprudence, a vague belief in the powers of a
Council, as well as in the prerogative of the
Pope, might, have survived for some years
longer.
The London Economist believes that the,
drift of Catholicism is in the direction of a
separation between .Church and State. The
Council has been called without the interven
tion of any Sovereign; no layman has a seat in
it ; and a majority of the Catholic Governments
of Europe have protested in advance that they
will not as secular statesmen be bound by its
decisions. The Church is acting alone, as
much, alone as if it were a voluntary societyy
and there can be little doubt that this indepen
dence is pleasing to its chiefs, and that the ten
dency of its deliberations will be to ' weaken
still further its connection with civil govern
ments. There can be little doubt that if the
Chnrch of Rome became in practice a free
Church an immense impetus would .be given
to the cause of free Churches, and that states
men would daily find it more difficult to de
fend State Establishments except by arguments
which all fervid reigionists seem 'daily more
inclined to, reject; or that the extinction of
State Churches in Europe would bring with it
ninny radical changes in legislation, more
especially in social legislation,which is now be-
coming so important. The whole course of
national education, for example, would be
seriously modified, and national education is
becoming everywhere the first of political
questions.
