THU REV. DIR. d. +. STRAUSS.
David Friedrich Strauss, whose death is an
nounced this morning was one of the great
German theologians of the advanced OF
transcendental school. With finished ed
ucation such as the universities of his coun-
try could give, he entered upon his life's
duties as a country pastor. His shead was
already filed, however, with the philoso-
ply of Hegel and in short time he is found
in Berlin completing his preparations for
the important role he was sfterward to play
as polemical religious writer of the first
magnitude. His first and perhaps
his greatest literary adventure was
the publication of "The Life of Jesus, Criti-
cally Considered" which at once brought
him into prominence, and purchased for him
a notoriety akin to that enjoyed by Voltaire
and Paine--the avowed enemy ofthe christian
religion. The furore created in Berlin and
all Germany at this coup d'grace was so
great that Strauss was compelled to give up
his position theological seminary. He re-
tired to private life at Stuttgart and pro-
ceeded to defend himself from all corners.
The "Liife of Jesus" was a wonderful pro-
duction and inaugurated a real epoch in
theological literature. Renan has written
something very similar, bnt it is hard
ly so profound and thoughtful in its
character, and is considered less danger
Gus to orthodoxy. Strauss was soon after
ward rendered professorship at Zurich,
but his enemies raised such a storm of OPP
position to the appointment that he again
retired to his seclusion, and brought out his
second great work, "Review of Christian
Dogma" sequel to the life of Jesus.:Aft
a long interval of silence Strauss again APP
peared as a political writer. and aspired to
ecclesiastical honors, but he was disappoint-
ed. He afterwards wrote many sketches
and books of a biographical, historical or
aesthetic character. His ability as litera-
teur cannot be denied to be of the very high
est grade. His prose is not excelled perhaps
by any German writer since Leasing. He
was sixty-six years of age at the time of his
death.

"A funny debate in congress, the other
day, revived the venerable controversy, as
to the right and wrong done the world by
a perverse generation of young men who
will not put themselves where they will do
the most good in wedlock. The stumbling
argument was of course brought up by the
venerable fathers how, that if there were
no multiplication of matrimonials, there
could be no increase Of the chill

the excuse OF the young man of the period
" can't afford it" didn't save him from the
responsibility Of the milliner's and dress
makers bills. AS consequence,
matrimony was considerably more pop
ular then thsn now, and there were
few even of the daughters in Israel left

of tears. Judging from the evidence of the

Who knows? DIR. Lewis intends to stay
two weeks in OHIO. He has already been
solicited to visit Indiana, and it will be
strange if the Hoosier women do not notfce

The very essence and vital element of his plan
are Juror, enthusiasm and the sublime costa

heat and steam, then there iss system ia the
proceedings by which the women make the

really, he has no chance to take the offen.-

weakness as to be alarming. The hornets

Brother Holman got in rather enlivening
niece of work ON q. f. Hoar. of Massachu-
sets, the other day. The acerbic Hoar NIL
into the mistake of echoing the. charge OF
Eldridge, of Wisconsin, that the watchfui
Holman "was Edcmagogue." Mr.. Hoar
wished presently that he hadn't said it. Hol-
man came back with vigor which was Sc
we're and parliamentary. The point under
der discussion was a provision OF Hol-
snanrs making railroads responsible
for the transportation of government
materials. Hosr objected with an amend
ment looking to only few roads. Holman
hirted eastern influence of sordid sort.
Hoar remarked "'demagogue." Holman re-
uorted in turn, and it is said that even the
free lunch was forgotten in the eagerness OF
the members TO hear the wordy war. Hol-
man as usual coming off victorious.
