passed through the head and lodged on

SCIENCE AND CHRISTIANITY.

Association Hall, In Twenty-third street, was
full to repleton last night, on the occasion OF o
lecture being delivered by General Thomas L.
Clingman, OF North Carolina who was. In days
gone by, for sixteen years q member OF Congress.
A large number OF Southerners were present, and
the enthusiasm upon the appearance OF the lec-
turer was very great. He commenced by stating
that 1t had been asserted and over again that
the most scientific men Of present and past days
were inhdels, but he denied the correctness Of
the charge. and maintained that the lien between
science and Christianity was strong one. To
show the paucity Of our human intellect ne then
portrayed an imaginary interview between an
Esqumaux and q learned professor. The son Of
the North asked the professor questions to light
heat, vegetable life, force Of gravity; but the In.
direct replies Of the professor failed to satisfy him.
for they showed great want Of definite and accu.
rate knowledge, and the deduction drawn by the
lecturer from this was that science is unable to ex-
plain anything. He then, with great humor de-
picted session OF meeting OF the
sSsns oSesUns In s ss
the Great Eastern steamer exists; whether
Kaiser Wilhelm could put an army OF
1000 900 Oot and whether citizens or the United
States had built q railroad from New York to san
Francisc02 And Ii was unanimously resolved that
all scientific worms would lose the respect OF their
brethren II they believed any such absurd theories
General Clingman then maintained that the worms
better learn facts relative to scientific knowl-
edge and form more correct opinions than q large
portion OF scientific men OF the day as to what
transpires In the natural world and IN corrobora-
ton OF this theory he gave quotations from Homer,
Akenside and alter Scott. lie then discussed In
an able manner the question OF astronomy, from
the smallest and remotest nebua down TO the sun.
After exhausting this subject he dwelt at length
on the faculty OF spirituality aud causany
as elements OF the human mind, and IKE
wise the laws OF uniformity In the nat,
ural world. In conclusion ne showed
showed the existence OF q God, but that he pos
sesses the attributes OF omnipotence Infinite Wis
for n temporary purpose-he was placed here as
iaborer. and had moral nature, csnscienttous
feelings. and that science showed matter to be
eternsi and that It's creator must be 80 likewise
lie then closed his remarks by abiding 10 the
Scriptures and that these qualities were clearly in
dicafed in the Bible AT the conclusion OF the lee
ture several OF the audience, said to be old ac-
aualntances, shook the lecturer warmly by the
hand The lecture Is to be repeated.

The Murder Mania In New York

The Murder Mania In New York.
We do not propose to attempt record
of the murders in New York. That is
quite as much as even the New York
dailies can do, but the murder wave does
not seem yet to have at all abated.
The Tribune of last Saturday has an
account of three murders within twelve
hours, including one just outside the
city, and several have been committed
sincel Among those is that of one boy
shooting another when some dispute had
arisen, though it is claimed not to have
been intentional, but is, nevertheless, the
result of curying firearms, which APP
pears so general in New York City. In
another instance brutal father whipped
and beat his own son to death, and on
Saturday morning first-class murder
was discovered on Long Island, where
one James Graham appeared to have
been murdered for robbery. Several
wives have been either killed or assaulted
during the past ten days, and other scat
tering murders have prevailed in livery
stables and other places, and worse than
all, the courts and authorities do not ap-
pear yet able to cope with this ruffian
element.

Brutal Murder at Brocton.

John Flanders, farmer, residing near
Brocton, n. Y, was murdered Sunday
morning by German tramp, named
Dietzel, who called at his house and ask
ed for breakfast. Flanders answered
that it would soon beready and asked him
to split some wood in the meantime. As
soon as Dietzel took the axe he struck
Flanders two blows ON the head with it,
killing him instantly, and then fled. He
was pursued, caught and subjected to a
preliminary examination, but the evil
dence being insufficient another exami-
nation of the case was to have taken
place on Tuesday.
From the above statement one would
very naturally inquire what there was
about the evidence that was so "insuffi-
cient."

social and intellectual life that we are
enjoying. Our moral influence is much
superior. Crime is more severely dealt
with in New England. If man has the
money in his pocket, he had better 60
West, land is cheaper-but if he has a
farm in New England he had better re-
main in New England. Many have
grown rich and become men of influence
by going West. Many more have done
no better than they would have done
had they remained at home.
w. p. GAGg.-At our former meet
ings it was argued that farming did not
pay. | contended that it did, and as
many here have spoken of the beauty of
farming in New England, we conclude
they are coming over to my side of the
house. 1t may however appear to be
sort of complaint-you don't think what
you say-or "say what you mean" l
am in favor of saying as much for the
West, as / can conscientiously in order
to induce the foreign population to 60
past if it will. One point has been omit
ted-that in relation to food. If a man
can raise corn for Is cents, and wheat
for 80, he can live cheaper than in New
England. This may not be true in rela-
ton to clothing,b but that does not offset.
If we're going TO farm l would go where
food was cheap. think, however that
New England is going to be cultivated
sometime, and her valleys and hills
made to smile. We may not see it, but
the future will see it when the population
begins to drift backward. My friend at
my right pierced this question in the
early part of the discussion and should |
continue further | might find nothing
untouched.
N. G. PIERcE.-The view taken in re-
gard TO foreigners is good one, l say let
them pass, don't try to stop them. My
friend has spoken about piercing this
question. That is we'll, but it is always
a good plan before preparing to strike
deep to see to that the instruments are
well gagged.

suddenly at his home in Harrisburg on
Saturday morning. He had returned
from trip to New York the night be-
fore, and was apparently in good health,
but about 8 o'clock Saturday morning,
while breakfasting with his family and
in the act of helping his little son, his
head suddenly fell back and before his
wife could get to his side or medical aid
could be summoned, he was dead. 1t is
supposed that heart disease or apoplexy
was the cause of his death. The funer-
al is announced to take place at Harris
