CASES OF COINCIDENCE.

The Secretary Of State Of Illinois has an
interesting case Of conscience On his hands.
A Apictoria1 unabridged Webste,s dictionary,
formerly part Of the "Post Library at
Camp Butler, Illinois," rs appears by a
stamp on the cover, is forwarded to him by
soldier who con6scated" it when the
rendezvous at Camp Butler broke up. The
veteran is very sorry for his pecca-
di11o, though the prevalence OF the
habit Of appropziatiug whatever con-
reniences OF camp furniture and
army property came in their way
during was times was 80 general that the
offence cannot be regarded with the seyeri-
ty due to ordinary theft, But the defect in
the soldiers tito to this sourtnir of the
camp prevents him from perusing the many
brief but interesting stories which the
volume contains, with the interest he had
perhaps fondly hoped to feel in it. On the
contrary, he has spent sleepless nights
thinking who md where the actual ptoprie-
tors of the "Post Library at Camp Butler"
may he, and how he can return to them their
property, which he has carefully preserved
but injudicious]y withheld. The Secretary
OF State is now in an equal dilenma,
though We have not yet learned that his
accustomed sleep is interrupted To
whom the 'Post Library at Camp Butler"
belonged, and, still more, to whom il nov
belongs, when the ibrary, the post, the
camp, and everything in fact but Butler
have passed away, is aa insoluble problem
to the Secretary Of State as the ownership
Of town lots in the city Of Gomorrah.
We have been much interested in the
eases Of conscience which have arisen
SO frequently out Of the events of the re-
cent war. The phenomenon is new one
in history. Armies have plundered and
army officers have peculated and stolen
ever since war became branch of human
Industry. But never before, SO far as We
remember, have wars been followed by a
long train of leases Of conscience II in
aicates, certainly, deeper sense Of the du-
ty Of restitution as the necessary condition
Of repentance under the Christian aystem,
and higher education Of the faculty Of
conscience in those who ara not Intention

The UNIVERSE WEARING 0UT.-Much
has been written, and many speculations
have been INDUCED by the learned, on the
subject Of the wearing out of the material
universe. We are represented as an old
clock, fast running doton. The time is
coming when there shall le a great final
crash. Biologists have traced in the
phenomena OF the disintegration of CONT
nen's, the cooling of the earth, and the leu
dency of all force to state OF equilibrium,
as well as in revelation, the evidences of
this. We are to have lecture at the In
slilute, next Thursday evening, on this sub
iect, entitled 1.-THE Cycles OF Matter, or
Glmpses Of the Past and Future,r by Pro-
lessor Wincbell, L. L. D., Professor Of
Geology, Zoology and Boiany In the Uni-
versiiy OF Michigan, and Kentucky Uniyer-
siiy. A gentleman who is represented as
possessing learning and cultivation.
We rejoice a: the awakening interest in
our community in good, solid, instructive
lectures
