TIE DEVIL.

Moncure D. Conway lecture on his Satanic
Majesty has created considerable furry among
the clergy of Porkopolis. contributor tc
the Commercial thus refers to it:
This lecture on "The Devil was delivered
for the first time here in Cincinnati, SO tina,
we first OF all mad the honor of seeing the
cold corpus of his Satanic Majesty laid out
upon the dissecting table and scientifically
disposed Of To the ordinary intelligent news
paper reader the modern popular lecture, that
weak re-hash of school textbooks, with the
mouldy smell of an encyclopedia lowering
over it, is WEAKNESS and nuisance To
the very same person this lecture on Satan
was full of surprising interest, because the
paths which Mr.. Conway has trod are so
different from the ordinary rats in which we
run. Even those who disagreed with him
most could not but learn much from this tall,
strong man, with grayish hair and steady
burning black eye. One was not obliged to
agree with the tall, strong mans want of
theory in order to profit from the learning
displayed in that magnificent lecture.
People who thought they knew enough
about the devil already, found out that the
devil was invented first by the Persians, that
the first devil was the devil of hunger, and
that the Sclavonic devil was only huge
stomach with claws. The passage in the
Bible which now reads "Thou shalt not
be afraid of terror by night" was originally
translated, strange and funny to relate:
"Thou shalt not be afraid of bugs by night.
Pity it couldn't have been lett SO, for the
original translation would have been much
more of comfort to US of these days than
the other, if one may be excused for saying
it.
The old Hebrew cabalistic legend of Lilith,
the first wife of Adam, was told in language
which was beautiful as a finished poem. 1t
is worth mentioning again for the moral |
Lilith, Adams first wife, was cold, pas
sionless, splendid beauty, with wondrous
golden hair. She was created Adams equal |
in every respect therefore properly |
enough refused to obey him. For this she |
was driven from the Garden of Eden, and |
Eve was created, made to order, so to speak, |
of one of Adams ribs Then the golden |
haired Lilith, jealous enraged, pining for her |
lost home in Paradise, en- tered in the form OF |
serpent crept into the Garden of Eden, and
tempted Adam and Eve to their destruction.
And from that day to this, Lilith, cold, pas
sionless beauty, with golden hair, has roamed
up and down the earth sharing the sons OF
Adam, and destroying them You may always
know her dead victims, for whenever man
has been destroyed by the hands of Lilith,
you will always find a single golden hair
wrapped tight around his lifeless heart.
To this day, many and many a son of Adam
is still lured to death and ruin from having
the golden hair OF a woman wrapped too
tight around his heart. That is the moral

The Spanish Government announces that
it desires to maintain friendly relations with
the United States, but at the same time will
guard its rights. There is little doubt that
Spain will plant herself upon the treaty of
1895, which, besides commercial, boundary
and other important provisions, gives her ex-
traordinary powers as to her right to search
American vessels at any time when she is en-
gagged in war, as with the Cubans for in
stance BY the terms of the treaty, Spanish
officers can, during such war. board any
vessel owned in the United States and demand
to see her passport and certificate, which, if
properly made out, will entitle her to con-
tinue her voyage.
1t will then be seen that American vessels
must submit to a search for contraband ar
ticles. If they can not show straight papers,
or have contraband articles on board, the
Spanish authorities can adjudge such vessel
lawful prize. If the United States recog-
nizes the beligerency of the Cubans, there is
no doubt that Spain will exercise her right of
search If she does SO, and our government
respects the treaty obligation, We will have
to submit. As Spain says she proposes to
guard her ri hts, it is evident that she will
execute this right guaranteed her by treaty
II looks as if there was not a little trouble
ahead in this Spanish business Courier

RECKLESS RIDING.
ACROSS THE CONTINENT ON THE TRUCKS BE-
MEATH THE CARS.

ACROSS THE CONTINENT ON THE TRUCKS BE-
MEATH THE CARS.
From the Omaha Beel
Wednesday afternoon as the Chicago, Bur.
lngton and Quincy train was about to pull
out from the transfer for the East, an Omaha
gentleman observed two men seated on, OF
rather clinging to, the trucks under the
dining Car. One of them, apprehending OF
being informed on, entreated him, For
Gods sake, don't give us away" The gen.
teman questioned them, and learned that
they had ridden in this manner all the way
from San Francisco, over two thousand miles.
The train started up and stopped at the
depot in Council Bluffs, when the two "beats, %
supposing that the train had been halted to
put them of, skipped out. The conductor
when told of the fact, remarked that " that
was nothing He had had six on the trucks,
and six on the roof at one time" 1t seems
that the amount of stolen riding obtained at
so perilous risk is greater than any one has
any idea OF, and the wonder is that so few are
killed. As rule they generally ride on the
trucks during the day time, and at night
crawl up on top of the Car. If they are dis
covered and put off, they wait for the next
train and resume their ride many of them
going from ocean to ocean in this manner
The Union and Central Pacific Railways
have monopoly on this sort of travel, as
well as on every other kind, to and from the
Pacific coast. Many of the persons who thus
steal ride from the Pacific coast, went there

chances in getting back home this way. Such
