dntjba and smoug the goods offered were two
cases Of books. The frat Was filled with Nor- N
wegian literature, which went cheap Inc
siderable quantity OF elegant photoaraph albums.
and illustrated and other choice books OF
various kinds. Before the sale began 1t was
discovered that the contents Of the boz were the
property Of Ira D. sankey, the noted evnnGellcai
yolrmoB wero testimonials to saokey from I'D
nirinp Eusish1nep, aod the crowd fairly hoWled
for 3 chance to bid on them, but
it was not to be, for John For, 1a
as a pledge that the customs dues would be dis
CHARGED in full, and the books were put away in
to safety, despite the remonstrances OF the
crowd. It appears the box was consigned to
Sankey in care Of some individual who could
not be- found, and hence did not pay the duties.
THE PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY.
The Philosophical Society met Last evening At
No. l03 State street, and 1istened to the reading
Of paper by Mrs. Kate N. Doggett on - he
cent Archaeological Discoveries IN ThelI
from the French. The paper was quite lengthy.
and displayed vast deal OF research and cru
ditlon, and commanded the complete attention
Of the large audience during it's delivery.
The paper investigated fully the customs aud
traditions OF the Jewish tribes and OF the hdjoln-
ing nations, showing that idolatry and Polythe"
ism we're common among those whose descond-
ants cali themselves the chosen people OF me
Lord. Taking the testimony OF the Bible ltsel1'
it yas shown that the God Jehovah Was at the
earliest times little heard OF, and as the record
comes down tho rise of that divinity can be
clearly traced, until he is recognized as the only
Supreme Being.
there WAS an animated discussion upon the iec-
ture delivered on the previous Saturday evening
by Judge Booth on 1.-THE Resurrection" and q
few points in alrs. Dosgotts paper we're also al
luded to and criticized.
