which we take onr meals is according to very
ancient law, OF which Orato makes mention, and
for which he gives the reason. His injunction

fish, and such meats as are sooner corrupted in
the stomach; harder meats OF digestion come

These few general rules. are oil that are

Return or Lieutenant Young from Hi
aIexican scout.

SAN ANToNIo. Dec: e.At length Lieut..
Young's detachment Of the Eighth Cavalry has
been heard from. 1t will be remembered that
about thirteen weeks ago Young started on d
scout into Mexico, with the view of tracing a
party OF cattle thieves and marauders which
had been depredating upon the Texans
Some anxiety was felt here lest the intrepid
scout had met with an overpowering force and
been driven westward. After his command had
been out ten days they came upon a band Of
mescaleras. or distillers Of mescalen camped,
having their chief. Alsati, with them.
The order was gwen to attack the camp at
once, and the cavalry dashed in and were mas
ters of the situation after brief and feeble re-
sistance on the part of the distllers. Two of
the band we're killed and three wounded. The
remainder of the purity were then disarmed all
their trinkets and clothing taken from them,
and theywere turned adrift to 60 where they
pleased.
All the tents. with their contents and the stuff
taken from the men, were collected in q heap by
the soldiers and burned, SO that not q vestige OF
the camp was left. 1t Is not stated whether the
mescaleras had any stock at the time they were
captured. Lieutenant Young returned to his
camp at Point Rock Springs Friday morning.
He says the weather has been very severe. in
that portion of Mexico over which he has
secuted, and that his command suffered very
much from the cold. One morning when the
men arose they found the water in their can

YarteM
FUN IN A COURT ROOM.

Courts, generally, are rather serious
kind of places, but one in Wilkesbarre,
Pa, was the scene of great merriment the
other day. One Dobson, a jolly son of
England, was complained of for assault
ing young lady by kissing her. But
we will let him tell his own story:
Dobson-Yer see, yer 'onors, was
walking along singing, "What will the
'arvest be?" t.0

Dobson -(Yery composedly)-Yes, sir,
What will the 'arvest be?"
Gen. McCartney--"What will the ar.

Dobson-(UnrufHed) )-"What will the
'arvest bel"
Gen. McCartney-Well, go on, sir.
DobsoD-Yer see, yer 'onors, was go
ing along, singing, "What will the 'arvest
be" when heard Mary singing "What
will the 'arvest be?"
Gen. MCCartney-.She was singing,
What will the 'arvest be?"
BY this time there were decided evil
denCes of merriment all over the court
room, but Dobson remained as imper-
turbable as though officiating at fun
eral.
Dobson-Yes, she were singing "What
will the 'arvest be ?" but not so loud as 1
was, and l called out, "Hello, Mary, are
that you?" and she said it is. l went
up to the fence, and she said she were

Dobson-Why, sir, any fool knows

Gen. MCCartney--Well, you have

found out "What will the 'arvest be ?"
and l think she was heasy prey.
Here the gravity of the court, counsell-
ors, and spectators gave way, and seldom
in court of justice has there been such
scene of uncomfortable hilariousness.
Judge Harding fairly roared himself
hoarse with laughter, and all business
was suspended for several minutes to al
low those in the courtroom to recover
their equanimity. Dobson was acquitted
of the charge of assault, but must pay
half the costs of the suit as his share of
the "arvest."

BOB INGERSOLL'S LECTURE IN
CLEEELAND.

Col. Ingersoll, the great Republican
stumper for Hayes, in his lecture in
Cleveland on Thomas Paine" bore
down on the Christian religion. We
take from the Plain Dealers report the
following closing paragraphs of his Ices
ture:
The speaker took up the subject of the
condition of the churches one hundred
years ago, and pictured them as being
combinations of bigotry, tyranny, su~
perstition and crime. APuritan in those
days was composition of bigotry, mall
ice and dyspepsia. The speaker de-
nounced heavily the views advocated by
Jonathan Edwards concerning hell in
general, and infant damnation in partic-
ular. He also spoke Of Jeremy Taylor
and his vivid pictures of hell, and said
that fsending people to such a place for
their twelve or fifteen years of sin upon
this earth was the justice of the God they
worshipped, he preferred going to hell
rather than meet such a God. The
church in France one hundred years ago
was described, and was the sort of
church Thomas Paine denounced. But
ideas are growing more liberal. In
twenty-five years the church will say
there is no theology but science, no re-
ligion but morality.
Paine believed that any system of res
ligion that would shock the mind of
child was not the true system of religion;
it was not truth of Christ. He denied
the inspiration of Scripture, and would
not believe that rams horns constituted
artillery, that whales swallowed men to
keep them from grumbling, that men
could walk through fiery furnace with
out being scorched. He believed that
information coming first hand only was
revelation; that as it came from other
men like Moses or the prophets, it was
like any hearsay evidence. In Paine's
time one must swallow the Bible, whales
and ALL in these times there was more
liberality concerning the book, and all
the church required was, that you be.
lieve in God and pay your pew rent.
This is the Christian gentleman who
is to be sent as Minister to Berlin.
