THE OVERLAND MAIL.

1t will be remembered that the President and
Cabinet, in violation of the letter of tho Iow
constrained the contractors for carving the
overland mail to the Pacific to proceed bv the
I'll Paso or Arizona route. The contractors
protested against this requisition, and pointed
out the law which provided that the route sbopld
be left to their discretion but in vain. Tn or.

the ofhclal organ, the Constitution, reveals the
criminal folly of this sectional favoriti,m &. and
that paper will in vain attempt to pack the
blame on Congress
1t Will be remembered that in September
1897, under the authority of special act of
congress, the Post Odice Department closed a
contract with Messrs. Butterfeld & Co. for the
transportation of the mails from Memnbis and
st. Louis to San Francisco, the service 70 ho

10th OF September, 1855 at an annual comnen.
satlon OF SIX hundred thousand dollars. OF all
the burdens which hasty and improvident Iaois.
latlon has imposed upon the Department This
is the most oppressive, and, naturally enough
seems to be borne with the least patience. In
view OF the enormous outlay involved. and the
unproductveness Of the route the Postmaster
General was anxious to reduce the transnorta
ton OF the mails under this contract to a week
~ instead OF a semi-weekly service which
would have secured an annual SAVING of
Sl5OOOO, and would have more than met the
actual postal wants of the country. Entertain

Attorney General, who has within few davs

The Eclecdc Magazine for June, 1889.

On opening this new number of this popular
Magazine, we find rich mezzotint engraving,
by Sartain, of Edward Everett, as, in the course
of pronouncing his address on the character of
Washington, ne alludes to him as "the Beacon
Light that guided our fathers over all that dark
and tempestuous sea- The engraver seems to
have taken great pains to procure and transmit
faithful likeness. The literary contents of
the number are also of interest, selected as
they are from the best English periodicals., and
embracing variety of topics adapted to differ
ent classes of leaders, many of which pieces do
not fall into the hands of those on this side of
the Atlantic. There are several from the Titan,
and from FraseTs Magazine, Bentley Miscel.

and the National Reviews. The articles, twenty.
five In number, are not so long as sometimes,
but we doubt not will prove, perhaps, more at
tractive for this reason to the majority Of the
readers. The mere mention of the contents is
not necessary, after this condensed summary
of its sources, especially as probably the num-

The Limits of Religious Thought Named In Eight Lee
lures delivered before the Unworthy of oxford in the
year 1873 by Henry Longueville Mansel, b D. Reader
in Moral and Metaphysical Philosophy at Magdaen
College; Tutor and lac Fellow of ST Johns College
VOL PIP. 364.
This work is one of singular interest. 1t has
produced quite sensation among the theolog-
ica writers and thinkers in England for it will
be readily believed that it is no common task
to fix the Limits Of Religious Thought, or to
prescribe the true method by which investiga-
tons into the relations of revelation and
reason are to be conducted.
The practical lesson intended TO be taught
ligious questions and what are the Just claims
of reasonable faith, as distinguished from
blind credulity. 1t is obvious that, if there is
any object of which the human mind is unable
to form clear and distinct conception, the in
ability equally disqual6es us for proving or
disproving a given doctrine in all cases in
which such a conception is an Indispensable
condition of the argument The aim of the
author as is shown in all his lectures, espe-
cially the last, is to enforce upon his audience,
that the true evidence, for or against a religion
is not to be found in any single criterion, but
in the result Of many Prescriptions examined
and compared together and that, in proper
ton to the weight of the dounterevidence in
favor of a religion, is the probability that We
may be mistaken in supposing a particular
class of objections to have any real weight at
all-consderations alike applicable to moral
as well as speculative reasOnings.
! An examination of the Limits of Religious
Thought is an indispensable preliminary to all
religious philosophy. And the limits of relig-
ious thought are but special manifestation Of
the limits of thought in general. Thus the phi
losophy of religion, on its human side, must be
subject to the same conditions which are binding
upon philosophy in general. Mr. Mansers book
has been ranked with the Christ Of History,
by Young, as q work of erudtion and powerful
augmentation. 1t is a book which every
Christian scholar will wish to possess. The
American edition has this great advantage &c
| general readers, that the notes, which are eX
ceedingly interesting, taken from Greek, Latin
and German authors, have been carefully
translated by Professor Lincoln, Of Brown Uni
versity.

No one remedy is louder called for by the ne
