The Christian EramaaeT of this city,
some time ago, asked the question: "Can
God be glorfed or Christ honored
and His cause advanced, by such abomina-
BILE games as smut, euchre, seven-up, and
old-maid, the very names of which female
modesty should blush to pronounce ?''
To which the indianapolis Journal irrever-
emily replies: /" We presume not. How
ever, there are many worse things that
christians may do than play cards. Seven
up is scientific game, useful as discipline
Of the mind. Whist inculcates the virtue
of silence. Euchre teaches principles which
may be practically adapted to everyday
life; for instance, the folly of attempting
to go it alone on a weak hand" 8tF5gE
We agree with the Indianapolis Journal,
that there are many worse things that
christians may do than to play cards,
although we doubt the scientific value of
the games it refers to. Among some of
the things which more dishonor christians
than card-playing, are the commercial
" corners" which many Of the protested
christian firms, in New York city and else
where, are constantly seeking to create,
which are no better than Wall-street gamb-
ling, or the operations of our faro bankers
in Richmond. 1t is only a day or two ago
that we read a long account, in the New
York journals, of q little game that was
played on Messrs. Phelps, Dodge & Co.,
prominently christian firm in that city,
who were seeking to create g corner" in
the tin market, by which they could run up
the price Of an article of almost universal
consumption among the poor in this
country. Such an operation, in our judg
mcnt, was no better than game of cut
throat poker on the Mississippi river; nay, il
was worse, for the last named game is
played only against a few and those who
are voluntary victims while the CONNER
cial game of short corners" is played
against those who are involuntary victims
and swindled by the million.

The Buffalo Cypress says: "The sur
prising feats executed this summer by
Professor III. Greeley and his small but Sc

surpassed even by that accomplished ana

CYCLIC HORRORS.

The CHASTITY list Of railroad and other
horrors which we have published in the
last three or four days, only tends to con-,
firm the ingenious theory that everything
in the universe is cyclic in character and
tendency, and that even the most ordinary,
casualties are governed by a law which
girds the entire globe, as limited by Milton,
"with centric and eccentric scrubbed DER,
Cycle and epcycle, orb in orb EHesT
In other words, that there is an interval
of time in which certain succession of
events or phenomena is completed, and
then returns again and again, uniformly
and continuously in the same order. These
cycles of events or phenomena, it is claim
ed, are as certain to occur as thecycle Of
the seasons, the cycle Of the sun, or the cy-
Gle of the moon and that q periodical
space OF time marks the occurrence OF the
one with the same certainty as it marks
the other. We added two more of these
chastity occurrences to our late list Of these
cyclic disasters, yesterday. The first CANT
to us from an unexpected quarter, the easy
gong and careful Dominion of Canada
where locomotive jumped from the track
and caused the death of twenty-three per
sons and the wounding Of forty-two. Th
second was the meeting of two locomotive
at full speed in Pennsylvania, resulting ]
! the killing and wounding ola score ofpeo
pie. An almost simultaneous series of eS
blossoms in New York, Chicago, and Sa
Francisco closes, it is hoped, the horribl
cycle Of catastrophes for the present.
