THE QUESTION OF DAMAGEs.-At din
der-table in Washington recently the CONVEX
sation took a religious turn 1.-TWO ministers
being presently, and the introduction of sin
into the world and the responsibility of Adam
ton were discussed. A very liberal gentleman
remarked that he did not believe in saddling
our sins upon our first parents. To this a
minister assented, but at the same time reit-
Grated the old story about the fall of man.
Whereupon, another of worldly mind, re-
marked that while it might not be exactly
just to hold them directly responsible yet, if
the story as told, be true, we ought certainly
to put in claim for consequential damages.
