PECULIAR THEOLOGY OF THE BEEoHsR FAMILY.
A religious exchange, in reviewing Miss Gath
crime =. Bsecher's "Appeal to the People in
behalf of their Rights, as authorized Interpre-
terS Of the Bible" says: .-a
at has been jocosely said that the Beecher
family constitute distinct class and division
of the human race, but it is equally obvious
that they are as unlike to each other as they
ore to the 'rest Of mankind DR.. Ed. Beecher,
in his Concord Of Ages, just published, starts
with the assertion that all the evils and con-
aiots in the religious world come of wrong
ideas Of God, and sets out to reform all theol-
ogies in this regard, and bring the disjointsd
world into concord by putting all on the right
track. His sister Catherine, in the book be-
fore US, thinks that the Augustinian theory Of
the 'origin Of evil,' is not only the apple of
disOord, but really the misohievous herssy 80
fruitful Of evil, that oil thc misery and sin Of
the world may be traced to it; and to make
men believe that they are not naturally
sinners at all, is the only way to cure
them Of this commonly prevailing mall
ady. The plan of salvation that she pro-
poses has but slight resemblance to the one
instituted by the Redeemer of men. If theo-
logical dogmas are propagated like 'original
SIM tho venerable father Of this notable fam
lily has progeny of strangely diverse and
anomalous heresies and sms to father. '

JBFYERsoN's VIEW OF DIsUSroN.-The views
of Jefferson, on almost every subject, are
looked upon with great favor by the Democ.
racy, and the following is his view Of the dis
union question. In a letter written to John
Taylor, Of Caroline, dated June l., 1898, JEFF
ferson said: "If, on the temporary superior
ity of the one party, the other Is TO resort to
scisaion Of the Union, no Federal Government
can ever exist. II, to rid ourselves of the
present rule Of Massachusetts and Connecti-
cut, we break the Union, will the evil
stop here? Suppose the New England States
alone be cut of, will our nature be changed
Are we not men still to the South Of that, and
with all tho passions Of men? Immediately
we shall see Pennsylvania and Virginia
party arise on the residuary Confederacy, and
the public mind will be distracted with the
same party spirit. What game, too,
will one party have in their hands, BY
eternslly threatening the other that, unless
they do so and SO, they will join their Northern
neighborsi IF We reduce our Union to Virginia
and North Carolina, Immediately the conflict
will be established between the representatives
of the two States, and they will end by break
ing up in their simple units. Seeing, there
fore, that an association of men who will not
quarrel with one another Is &. thing which
never yet existed, from the greatest confed-
eracy Of nations down to town meeting or o
vestry; seeing that We must have somebody
to quarrel with, I had rather keep our New
England associates for that purpose, than to
see our chickering's transferred to others. II
Who can say what would be the evils of q
scission, and when and whore they would
end? Better keep together as we are;
haul off from Europe ss soon ss we can, and
from all attachments to all portions oft; and,
If they show their power, just sufficiently to
hoop US together, it will be the happiest situa-
ton in which we can exist. If the game was
sometimes against us OF home, we must have
patience till luck turns, and then We shall
have an opportunity to win back the princi-
pies we have lost"

A SOUTHERN PAPER ON AN ANTr-SLAvsRY
CorER1E.-The New Orleans Della, In late
issue, remarks:
George William Curtis, Of New York, is the
ornamental young gentleman of the Abolition
Propaganda. Seward plays the part Of arch
conspirator. John Brown was the melo-
dramatic william. Hale is the buffoon. George
W. is expected to perform in the genteel
comedy line. Fashionable people can afford
to 20 to fashionable churches or public halls,
to hear him lecture. They find cheap lux
ury in wiping fashionable tears from their
eyes with fashionable cambric, when the
eloquent elegant Of Abolitionism dilates pathst.
ically on the fctive horrors of slavery. They
are blessed with new sensation; and in the
spirit Of Louis XIV, who "took his very
ometics in state, and vomited majestically in
the presence of the grandes and petites entrees"
they feel it q double enjoyment when they can
display the agitation Of their finer sensibilitiss
en- grand regle.

A NEW ORLEANS JOURNAL ARDENT IN FAVOR
OF THE UNIoN.-The New 0rleans Bulletin sp-
proves, in glowing terms, the letter recently
addressed by the Rev. Robert J. Breckinridge,
of Kentucky, to his nephew, John 9. Brock
inridge, on the present state of the country,
and says: ...
at is o comprehensive and exhaustive re-
view of the condition of the country and Of
parties, and conclusive and irrsfutable show
ing that Kentucky and the other border States,
as we'll as the whole Southern States, would
be gamers in the end to maintain their rights,
if needs be, by force of arms, and amid the
horrors Of civil war, terrible as these latter
always are, than to resort to the last and direst
alternative Of destroying the constitutional
structure Of the Government Of these United
States, and digsolving the Union that contains
them, because such struggle would pass away,
leaving its true, its mournful wrecks, to show
how tho devastations had ragged for the time
being; and then the people, learning by sad
experience the evils Of an internecine struggle,
would find tho strong timbers and the founda-
tions of the great structures which their faith
ers erected still remaining, and they could re-
invest them with the attributes, and cover
them with the gorgeous adornments of, and
re-ereot with and upon them, the first temple
of their liberties and their greatness. The
fl. work would not have been destroyed,
only the outer coverings would be displaced.

PECULIARIrIss OF FAUTHoRs-ANKcDoTEs OF
THE DUMAs.-A Paris correspondent relates
the following:--Mons. Alex. Dumas, the
younger, is seriously annoyed by the publicity
his father gives to every detail Of their per-
sonal history; for his father has few secrets
from the public. He gave some time ago long
details Of his sons amours in the public pa
pers. His son has demonstrated again and
again with him; but when he begins TO SER
monize the father looks at his son and laughs
80 heartily at what appears TO him droll
sight, the son is soon obliged TO give up in
despair. Sometimes his father makes him SO
very angry, a harsh speech will escape him,
and If it be witty none laugh louder or moro
heartily than his father. He said one day,
after most giddy revelation had been made
by his father, "Really, my father has so much
vanity he is capable Of riding behind his own
carriage, to make the people in the street be-
lieve he owns negro waiter" Young Mons.
Dumas was dining one day with some young
literary men, when one of them told most
amusing story of creditor life: how creditor
got rid Of Q most importunate debtor as Don
Juan freed himself from Monsieur Dimanohe.
Young Mons. Dumas roared with laughter.
"Don't you know your father is the hero2''
whispered one Of the guests in his ear. "Taini
possiblel Father the hero? Lai man, if he
were, he'd have told it in his memoirs"
His father for q long time held that the son
was to methodical even to be man Of talent,
and was fond of saying that one day he got
up in the morning and could not find single
pair Of boots, but upon looking into, his sons
wardrobe, he discovered no less than twelve
pairs on shelf. "That lad will never be q
man Of geniusp One day, Mons. Alex. Du-
mas, the father, was boasting of his pedigree
and asserting his right (Which is unques-
tioned) to the title of Marquis de Ia Paille-
terie, until the company began to cape with
fatigue. The son exclaimed "Peace, peace
we ell know your armorial bearings; you show
them often enough. They are much jaw on
little gold" I may join to this series Of anec
dotss two other which exhibit the character
of father and son in striking light. Young
Mons. Dumas perceived on tbs eve Of thu
maturity Of several bills that he lacked sbou,
ono hundred francs Of their total amount. HI
went TO his father and asked him to lend hin
hundred francs. "I can't, to save my lif'
and soul" replied the father. ~ was goinl
around to you to borrow fifty, and fifty frapcl
must have" Young Dumas left his fathe
ffty francs poorer than when he entered, ant
found himself obliged to borrow hundred
and fifty francs. t, - t.

RATIONAL RELAXATION OF Religion IN ENG
LAsD.--A London correspondent thus writes
Of novelty which has been introduced In the
British Metropolis:
The only thing new in theaters--we will
not say in thestrioals--is the special reli-
gious services on Sunday, which now takes
place at some Of the city theaters. Sermons
were preached at four Of them on Sunday
last-at st. James's Hall by two laymen, at
tho Gsrriok Theater by clergymen Of the Es-
tablished Church and non. conforming min
listers alternately; fifty clergyman and Others
have promised assistance; at Saddler's Wells
Theater by clsrgymen of the Church Of Eng
land, and at the Britannia Theater by Wes-
leyan ministers. Madame Sevigne used to
call ecclesiastical eloquence at public dinner
by bishop or dean "the thickening Of re-
ligion with turtle and old port" What would
she have called this preaching in theaters1
We find no fault with this latter practice, but
It appears to us to be such breaking down Of
the middle wall or petition between the pulpit
and the stage as would have made good old
Jeremy Golfers hair stand on end.

ExoELLBNr MODE OF FILLING AN IcE-H HOUSE.
The Winstead Comm Herald gives the follow
ing account Of the manner in which Mr..
Goodwin, Of New Hartford, fills his ice-house:
Mr.. Goodwin Is Supplied with excellent water
from 9 spring, at q considerable elevation
above his house. Connected with the pipe
which supplies the latter, is q branch pipe
leading to the ice-houss, across which Ii is
extended. Within the ioe-house this pipe is
pierced by twenty or thirty small holes, from
which as many 6ne jets of water rise to the
roof falling back in drops over the whole bot
tom surface Of the house. These Jets are only
let on when the weather is cold, and the doors
and vsntilators being opened, the water freezes
as it falls, and in few days, or weeks at
farthest, tho house Is filed with single block
Of perfectly pure, transparent ice. Mr. Good
wins Ice keeps through the entire season with
much less waste than that packed In the Or
dinary way. II costs him nearly nothing.

An OPERA MANAGER AND MUSICAL Cairo
SsRIousLY WOUNDS Hrs ANTAaoNIsT IN A
DUEL.-A hostile meeting took place on the
2sth ult, in New Orleans, between Ernest
Uanonge and Mr.. Victor Gerodias; the former
gentleman being, We believe, the manager of
the Thester D'0rlsans, and former musical
critic Of the Della, in which capacity he killed
his antagonist in duel, some months since,
in difficulty growing out Of the merits or de-
merits Of Piscolomini. OF the recent affair
the Delta says: The weapons used were
double-barrel guns, loaded with ball, and the
distance forty PAGES. According to the ar
rsngements, the parties had right to fire be-
tween the words "fre" and ''three." The
principals having taken their positions, the
word was given for the first FIRE, and both gums
were discharged at the word FIRE, almost stimuli
taneously. Neither of the parties being
touched, the guns were loaded second time
and the word given. The weapons were again
discharged nearly at the same moment at tho
word Ere, Mr.. Gerodias receiving his antago-
nist's ball in the left knee. He made an eff
fort to stand, but fell. The wound is q very
serious one, and the opinion Of the hysician
is that he can never recover the use of the
left leg, and possibly may have to lose It..
Mr.. Canonge was the challenger.

TIE RELICS OF MASSACHUSETTS INDIANS.
The last relics Of the Indian tribes in Massa :
chusetts, few and feeble, still make their an
nual appearance before tho people, in tho re-
ports Of their appointed guardians. Tho
Nstick tribe seems to have dwindled to Pa
tience Blodgeit and Patty Jefferson, and her
family, living In East Douglas, for whom the
guardian expended $77 last year, including &
$27 Of the guardians expenses. There are
about seventy Of the Troy Indians, Of whom
fifty live on their lands In Fall River. Tho
amount expended for the support Of the poor
was 1878. The Dudley tribe numbers seventy,
Of whom only thirteen live on their lands ct
Webster, for whose comfort the State expended

Indians were $2,3ss and for the Herring Pond

CINCINNATI, TUESDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY Z, 1860.
OPINION OF ouR TsssEssnr GUESTS ON THEIR

OPINION OF OUR TEsNRssRE GUESTS ON THEIR
LATE ENTERTAINMENT IN CNoIsNAFI.-Our
Tennessee exchanges are full Of the most aud
atory opinions Of their recent entertainment
in this city; but We have space for only few
extracts. Tho Nashville Union says:
The grand "patriotic Carnival" as tho Gin
cinnati demonstration has bsen appropriately
termed, which came off In that city on Fri
day, was Q pageant without parallel in the
history Of the country, and language will fail
to convey an adequate idea Of the imposing

can not attempt to give you description Of
our reception. 1t was indeed one of the most
imposing ever witnessed in the Union. On
our arrival at the depot, there must have been
twenty-five thousand people present, giving
cheer after cheer for the Union delegation.

procession, followed by carrisges containing
the guests. The procession altogether was

ton. Just think of Cincinnati with her two
hundred and fifty thousand inhabitants ming
ling grand Union demohstration.
The preparations made here for the recep-
tion Of the exoursionists were gotten up in Q
grand style, and at great expense. Private
residences, hotels, public buildings, business
houses, founderies, factories and workshops,
were covered with fags and other decorations.
Arches and festoons were to be seen over Q
number Of the streets; and portraits Of Wash
ington, Clay, and Webster, were suspended
from the windows in different parts of the
city. The shouts Of the masses, the smiles of
the women, and the waving Of handkerchiefs,
attested the enthusiasm which existed among
the entire populace Of tho Queen City.

AILEanD Isooss1srnsoY OF AN ANTI. SLAVERY

ALLEaRD INCoSsIsrRNcY OF AN ANTI SLAVERY
CLERsYMAN.-A New York correspondent Of q
New Orleans paper makes this assertion:
Quito q sensation was created in Parson
Cheever's Church Of the Puritans, by the sd-
vent Of an English party attended by servant
In livery, who, upon seating himself near his
master, II beg his pardon,) employer, was or
dered to the gallery, the consistent Cheever-
itas not approving this close proximity Of one
of their cherished pets. The party conse-
quently left the church in high dudgeon, and
proceeded to 9 colored chapel, where they
were received with due impressement. This
story has been oontradioted and denied; never
theless it is absolutely true, and everybody does
not know that the English gentleman is q
cousin Of Prince Albert, satisfied probably by
this time that Americans are not quite 50 re-
publican a. he was led to suppose; and al
though it is easy for Frlsr Cheever to send fe-
male emissaries to Exeter Hall on begging ex-
peditions for imaginary negroes, yet when one
of the species appears among them, they re-
fuse to recognize his existence or tolerate his
presence. This is just as true as the fact l
once before mentioned to you of Mr.. Cheever's
preaching an Abolition sermon and afterwsrd
spologizing for it to one Of the most inHuen-
tial Of his congregation, who has long since
seeded from the Puritan Church. "Consist-
ENJOY, thoa art jewel" rare enough.

PRo-SLAvERY view OF THE LAWRENCE DIS
AsrsR.-The Now York correspondence of the
New Orleans Delta writes in recent lstter
"Lopg ere this you have seen all the partic-
ulars Of the wholesale massacre of the poor
white slaves at the Pemberton Mills. Our
nerves are yet thrilling at the sickening de-
tails, as well as with the cold-blooded Bosto-
mans, who coolly send two or three thousand
dollars as plaster for the crushed hearts Of
the survivors, the balm in Gilead for the burn
ing tears Of anguish from the widowed, the or
phaned, tho bereayed ones who wall in vain
over those mangled and roasted remains Of tho
dear ones, offered up as holooaust to the
grasping, grinding, greedy worshippers Of the
Almighty dollar the oppressors Of these poor
white slaves. Now is the time for the philan-
thropic Cheevers and Beschers to preach .
sermon to some! effect. Having raised
funds for the immaculate Brown family and
their "million of children" here are white
slaves in dire bondage needing all their assist
ance for more than the merry, careless darkies
at the South. Only imagine the howl Of
lamentation this affair would have created
among the negro worshippers if the position
and parties were reversed" t7

ingly and redicuIously, when they first be-
came the ''rage." Ministers in the pulpit,

papers, fops in the parlor, and boys in the
street, seemed to think It q necessary duty to
cry down hoops; they do it yet, and I'll wa

shrouded figures women would appear in the

q few days ego, when one Of the children, Q
boy, began to show symptoms Of hydrophobis,
and during one Of the fits he succeeded in in
Hicting several wounds on the father. Physi-
clans gave ii as their opinion that If the boys
madness was caused by the use Of milk, the
whole family must suffer horrible death
sooner or later. ".
