A MERE SUPERSTITION

Phdrisee.-Do not the Scriptures say that
God brcathed into mans nostrils the breath
of ifc. and he became a living soulS
Ndsdrsne.-That is true. Man did be-
come living soul. but not an immortal
soul. Tie Hebrew for "living soul" says
a Jewish Rabbi. is nephesh hdydh. Moses
uses this phrase about ten times in his
writings, but in every other place, except
ing Gen. 81, it Is translated living crea-
ture." God breatlled the breath of life,
into the nostrils of the beasts of the field,
the fowls of the AR, and the fish of the sea.
and they. too. saws Moses, became nephesh
hdydh. living souls, or living creatures.
Phdrisee.-Well. suppose we turn to Fec.
1871. Speaking OF the death of man, Solo
mon says, "Then shall the dust return to
the earth as it was: and The SPIRIT shall re-
INTO God rho GAGE IT," Does not this
teach the immortality Of the soul?
Ndzdrens.--l think not. The term ',spir-
It," In the verse you allude to, Is a t%raiisla-
ton of the Hebrew word Radch ; and In
Fec. 3l9 the same word. Raach, occurs

II is noteworthy, that, in Brooklyn, N ~
there were more extensive aud outrageous frauds
on the ballot-boX, at the recent election ii posi-
ble than ever before Brooklyn has "Iam-
many ring under another name, and it did an
immense business on election day. The frauds
perpetratcd have raised an unusual commotiOn
in that CITY Many Of them have been brought
20 light: aud il is now manifest that a consider
able plumber Of defeated ring candidates have
been declared elected, by means of ballot-box
stufiug aud false counting. There were three
candidates for mayor; and both republicans
and democrats are sure that the republican can
didate was elected by a considerable majority.
Nevertheless, the ring candidate has been count
ed in. In view Of what was going on in New
York city, this conduct of the Brooklyn ring
is described as stealing under the galows."
Frauds on the balot-hox ought to be punish
ed with the utmost severity. The law should
describe them as treason against the very life Of
the republic and the national constitution
should authorize it TO do so. Every perpetrator
of such frauds should he forever dis
franchised, and if he afterwards fails
TO be hung or imprisoned for life, he
should not be allowed to appear within sight of
a baIlot-box, on election days. Hanging or per-
petual Imprisonment is hardly so great pun
ishment as.the crime deserves. Armed treason
that fights openly to destroy the government, is
neither so vilanous nor so dangerous, as that
which destroys free institutions and menaces the
government, by means of such frauds.

A Dangerous ESrcdicHmcnt.


The men on the mixed train going west yes

As the noise of the wheels subsidized, unusa and
excited sounds were heard issuing from n
"bonded car" which all along the passage from
the Suspension bridge had remained under lock
and kew attracting no especial notice I, ON any
one, as no one on the train seemed aware of its
true contents. Gradually the noises grew louder
and more excited. Scutfing was heard, accom-
panied by wells aud mprecatlonS from human
voice, and a series of low, fierce snarlS and
growls, as from an enraged and powerful animal;
then shutting to and fro, and more excited
but perfectly unintelligible eXclamations. The
men were at a loss what to make of all this,
and marveed exceedingly. A crowd collected,
aud noises Of the same character continue
within. There appeared to be Il terrible rumpus
inside the car which each moment grew more
desperate and alarming. All at once violent

who proceeded at once to obey the call and break

No sooner had the door been partially opened
than out sprang Young Indian in terribly

AT Birmingham, near PittSburg, they were

The national census show that thirteen per-

Rev. Mr.. Purchas, the Brighton ritualist who
was some time ago condemned for having stood,

A few days since party of gentlemen in a
Troy On. y saloon were disputing over the
question whether the American system Of treat
ing, or the European system of not treating,
was preferable. A prolonged argument only
proved that the matter could not be settled by
talking and so a practical test was rcsorted to.
First, each man took drink by himself. Then
each man invited single friend to drink. After
that each single friend returned the compH-
ment. And finally each man in the party
there were six of thcm-asked all the rest to
drink. iSugularly enough, says a local journal,
the result of this apparently fair and impartial
test was that not one of the party could tell
where the discussion originated or what it was
about.
Some time ago an occasional contributor to
the independence Beige, the leading paper of
Belgium, conceived aud executed clever plan
of commencing himself to the administration Of
that journal. He inserted a paragraph to the
etfee: that NJ. Dubois had died. leaving an en-
ormous fortune, to be divided among persons of
the name Of Dubois who could claim kinsman-
ship with him, and further stated that full par
ticularS about the fortune would be given from
time to time in the Independence. Now the Du-
Bots are about as numerous as the Smiths. Hun
dreds of the more afluent instantly became sub.

quence'the hOaXer was put upon the regular

Mr.. koREsON's CASE OF BRANDY.-Mr. VIM.
j. Healy is paymaster in the United States
navy, and lives in Brooklyn. Some time ago
PaymdSter Healy received from the navy de-
partment a letter directing him to adjust his ac-
counts and forward them without delay to the
secretary OF the navy for settlement The Off
Ger did the necessary figuring on his books, and
at the expiration Of week prepared to send
them to Washington as directed. Having no
box in which to pack them for shipment, he
dropped into the Bank oyster house on Fulton
street, where he is known, and asked for one.
The only box the proprietor could furnish was
an old brandy case, On the case were sundry
marks and inscriptions such as Games Hen
Messy & Co." "Cogniac, S. O. P" "Vntage
1885," and the like. The paymaster took the
box, packed up his hooks, nailed down the
lid, and addressed it to the "HOn, Geo
NJ. Robson, secretary of the navy, Wash
ington, ID. G." He then sent it 10 the
express Office and carefully took receipt, A
week elapsed and Mr.. Healy heard nothing of
his box. In day or two more no received

attention TO the fact that his accounts had not
been forwarded to the department. as ordered,
