Bishop Simpson, one Of the most distin-
guished diVines in the Methodist Episcopal
-.,... Church, recently delivered sermon full Of
l---' startling conclusions. BE expressed the
belief, founded not only on present sppear-
anoes, but also on a series Of facts that

Nine years before, when about to visit Cal
20 p iornis and Oregon, the Bishop sought O1t
rrstroo.ths published descriptions Of the country,
and particularly of the gold regions. The

Of Napoleon, written before be came to the

Napoleon would improve the first opportu-
nifty to interfere in the affairs Of Mexico.
Again, when on the Pacific coast, last Au-

discoveries in California which asIonished
the world and opened that immense region
at once to civilization, were but faint fore

ally buried ia those mountain ranges On
this topic the Bishop says: iolsEa
