PREACHING AT THE COURT House To-
NtGur.-A sermon from Swedenborgian
minister at the Court Honse tonight is
announced in our advertising columns
this morning. As the sermon is free to
all who choose to listen TO it the house
should be well filled. The. doclrines to
be expounded are amopgl the most
curious Of all the numerous theological
speculations that i'll the world. They
are not very generally understood, how
ever, among the masses, Notwithstanding
Swedenborg, their author, has been dead
over hundred years. Tie church hold
ing his views is known M the Anew
Jerusalem Church." The membership
look upon swedenborg as modern
revelator. His cxpositions the meaning
ofthe Scriptures are regarded as the true
key to their correct understanding. BY
the aid Of this key their literal meaning
is largely done away with, For instance,
the fall Of Adam is u Gsurative represent
a:ion Of the aversion which primitive
man gradually contracted for perfect
purity. According to Swedenborg, this
fall did not take place all at once; II was
gradual, and kept getting worse up to a
certain period, since which il has been
transmitted on and on from generation
TO generation.
There is considerable Of modern Spir.
itualism apparently contained in the
theory OF the Swedcnborgians. Sweden
borg himself, who, by the way, was man
Of wonderful altainments rs a scientist
and philosopher, claimed to have seen
many OF the mysteries Of heaven and
hell. He published work eailed"Arca-
ma Caegeaia,' which, rs its name implies,
explained the hidden things Of the other
world. Like John, Of Patmos, lie saw
the things whereof he wrote, and his mis-
sion was to explain the spiritual sense OF
the Scriptures.
There are great many educated pco'
pie in this country and in Europe who
sympathiIe more or less with these
strange views OF swedcnborg. 1t seems
rather curious that this should be so, but
the fact only proves that his theories
have certain adaptation, as many other
theological speculations have, for GER
tain ella" OF temperaments. They are how
ever too recondite ard sublimatcd to
ever become very prevalent among the
masses,

the centre OF light ties, with two bands oil

OF this character is claimed TO possess the
advantage Of costing 81 ,00O less per mile
TO construct than the narrow-gaugc now

turn very sharp curves as easily as on
straight line, the resistance OF the cars
being four-itths ol what 1t Is on the mar

gines arc furnished with steel cog.wheels,
an improvement which is SAID TO allow
them TO draw heavy loads. at small
speed, in all kinds OF weather, and
more than narrow gauge engine Of
double weight could do. They are built
with or without cogwheels, and are far
superior in power to the ordinary loco
motive. Their driving wheels have rims
from eight inches to one foot wide, sur
rounded by baud OF india rubber. The
locomotives and cars have two center
wheels, one in front, ono behind, which
are double Hanged, and run on the center
rail, guiding the train and supporting the
whole weight OF the cars. The side wheels,
one each side, merely maintain the equll'
ibrium and hardly touch the macadam or
