HARD TINES AND THEIR CAUSE The
Industrial BUlIetiR says the hard times
are attributable to the extraordinary in
dustrial revolution in England, which
would, in any event, have had the effect
to unsettle prices here, and to disturb the
relalions OF capital and labor. 1t is a
double misfortune that We began to feel
the force Of this momentous change in
wages and tho cost Of production abroad,
at q time when there was temporary
suspension of tho banks, and loss OF con.
ildence in monied circles at home, and
when it was impossible TO accommodate
ourselves to It or counteract 1t. The re-
suit has been an almost total cessation OF
demand for commodities which employ in
their production oi vast number oi
skilled workmen, and the actual con-
sumption has been restricted in way
that no one deemed possible. A spirit OF
economy had somewhat to do with this,
but it was mainly created and is con-
tiuued by the determination Of business
men to attempt no new enterprise, and to
avoid, as far as possible, all expenses,
until prices touch bottom, and they can
tell what their Investments will be worth.

NOVEL RELIGIOUS BELIEF. "A new
and novel religious belief, probably ar
outgrowth of the spiritualistic idea Of ma
terisIi2ation, Is gaining converts in the
northern counties OF Ohio. It involves
too, an elaborate principle Of metempsY-
chosis. An outline Of it's teachings is as
follows The soul Is immortal, beginning
with the original creation Of the universe
and lasting forever. In the course of its
existence it occupies varied succession
OF bodies on earth. When disembodied
by the death of its corporal form, it hov-
ers IN unseen power in the air until, by @
subtle process OF naturalization, it forms
for itself new infsntile body. This body
1t builds up by what we regard as the
natural process OF growth, and &C.
cupies 1t until death again frees 1t
when the same thing takes place
again. While discmbodied, the SOU
understands this scheme Of existence
but when clothed in q form Of flesh II
loses the knowledge, except in those
vsguc glimpses which people are supposed
to have at times OF some previous and
different condition. The followers OF the
new religion call Themselves Eternallsts
and their number Is increasing rapidly
They believe that souls may advance or
depreciate in attainment, rising high
enough to take on the forms Of men great
in some particular, or falling low enough
to animate drunksrds, criminals, savagcs,
or even animals. They do not believe
the Bible or the Christian scheme OF sal
vstion; bnt they teach culture and moral
ity as means of development for the soul,
and as q training for higher form oi
organization when the soul shall next
materlalize an earthly body.
