How Rothschild Made His Fortune,

Rothschld's greatest achievement in over
reaching distance and his fellow-speculators
was i'll 1915. He was near the Chateaud'
HOugOumont on the 18th Of June, watching,
as eagerly as Bonaparte and Wellington them
selves, the battle Of Waterloo. All day long
he followed the fighting with strand eyes
knowing that on its issue depended his welfare
as well as Europe's At sunset he saw that
victory was with Wellington and the allies.
Then, without moments delay, he mounted
horse that had been kept in readiness for
him, and hurried homewards. Every where
on his road fresh horses and carriages were ir
waiting to help him over the ground. Riding
or driving all night, he reachedOstend at day
break, to find the sea so stormy that ths boat
men refused to trust themselves to it. At las
he prevailed upon a fisherman to make the
venture for a reward Of $50. In that way n
managed to reach Dover. At Dover and a

The Rev. DR.. Bellows Presbyterian deliv-
erred a very interesting lecture last week in
BROOKLYN, before the Liberal Christian Union,
ON the Function of Liberal Christianity in the
Church aud in the World. The lecturer COM
mencod by remarking on the inadequacy OF Ian
0ua0e as vehicle of thought, instancing the
names of "Trnitarian and " Unitarian as
being merely mathematical epithets, and by
no means expressing either the positive or the
negative side of the views they were applied
to- He showed that the Trinitarian is Uni
tartan. and that there are senses in which the
latter is Trinitarian also. These led him to
the points of agreement between the two, who
agree, he said, in the foundations, and whose
| differences relate only to method, interpreta.
tions, and opinions. A high tribute was paid
| by the lecturer to the pvacticzl bene6cenoe and
niety of the Trinitarian churches. Were Q

Eighteen Years in a Dungeon,

A newspaper published at Colima, Mexico,
tells the following frightful story, and calls
upon the public to punish the criminals:
when Gen. Pueblita entered the town of
Ayo, in September last, he exacted forced
loan from the people, and a portion of it fell
upon the curate Of the place. The curate act
ed as though he would pay, but he did not
make his appearance at the point designated
for payment and Gen. Pueblita ordered him
to be arrested. A party of men went to his
dwelling and knocked at the door; there was
no answer, and they broke in. They found no
one in the house, and were about to leave it,
when they heard a feeble voice, proceeding
| from the ground, saying, am hungry!
1.-The officer in command went back to Gen.
Pueblta and told him about the voice. The
General appointed a commission TO examine
the house. This commission went to the Gu.
rates DWELLING and after a careful examina.

and under this was stairway leading down tC

this vault they discovered few articles o.
furniture, and woman who had been shut VI
there for eighteen years. She was taken t
Gen. Pueblita quarters.
"When brought into the light, where she

Progress of infdelity which, as in France and
Italy, had resulted among the intelligent and
educated classes from the fetters with which
orthodoxy had bound the human mind. The
practical tendency of superstition had been
sufficiently proved by the atheism OF the
French Revolution at the close OF the last cen
tury. The objections urged by Trinitarians
against the Liberal Christians were the same
as those brought against Wickliffe, and Huss,
and Luther, and Erasmus in their day. Jesus
and His Apostles were heretics toward the
Jewish Church in which they had been reared
Wickliffe and Luther against the Catholic;
Calvin and BeZa against the Lutheran; Wesley
and Whitford against the English Eplscopal,
and Charming and the Unitarlans against the
current orthodoxy of the nineteenth century.
The reverend gentleman went on eioquently to
describe the points of fundamental agreement
among Christians-the same God and Father,
the same Saviour, who was the embodiment OF
all of God that could be incarnate, the same
PRAYER and praise, the same hope OF glorious
Immortality Tut Liberal Christianity leaving
the Divine structure Of faith intact, had scraped
away the rust and moss of ages, and presented
the living words of Christ free from eccleslas-
| tical additions and the dogma OF the schools.
In its simple and scriptural teaching there was
no room for gloating over hell, tor the doctrine
of wholesale human depravity requiring the
vicarious sacrifice of the innocent LAM b tc
avert from it the stern vengence of the Father
for personal devil tempting man to disobedl
ence and triumphing in his fall, for eternal an
guish and fire as the doom of the vast majority
Of our race Liberal Christianity was Christi
anity in the full light, glory, and intelligence
of the nineteenth century, and it has before |
mighty work and glorious future. Its be
ginning has been small, but there had been
time when the Methodists, now the most pow
erful religious body in America, had beei
