Inskip ON IngersoII.

Rev. j. s. Inskip, we'll known IN this
city writes as follows In his paper, the
Christian Standard, concerning Col.
kobert Ingersolrs recent lecture In Now
York city:
The notorious blasphemer Ingersoll re-
GENTLY lectured In the city OF New York
on Sunday evening to an immense
may we understand 1t to be In any sense
complimentary, that q great multitude
should be drawn TO his lecture. 1t may
be fnournfully significant fact asindica-
tive OF the degeneracy Of the times, but
we do not deem 1t an endorsement of
any Of bis wicked and blasphemous
peculiarities. 1t merely means that there
are great many men in aud about New
York, who are curious to hear some new
thing, and wicked enough to spend a
Sabbath evening listeningg to such
sbominable vitnperation. tt was quite
In keeping with the whole affair that the
lecture should be preceded by playing a
number of selections from the "opera
bouffe" on the organ. Licentious music
was ut introduction for such a man and
such speech. Infdelity and lewdncss
are well allied to each other. Hence the
music above referred to was in harmony
with the lecture. This also explains why
one Haywood of Boston, connected with
q band Of free lovers, has lately been con-
victed Of the cri me of sending hcentious
publications through the mails. The
most dangerous element Uf the society OF
our times Is this tendency to infidelity.
Every good man should do what he can
to resist IL. There is no remedy or hope,
except in the di fusion of true and fer.
vent spirituality. Holiness alone will
meet the emergency.

The Steamer Metropolis.
Capt. Ankers, of the wrecked steamer
Metropolis, has made, under oath, a
DENIAL of the Philadelphia story that he
had been told by one of the owners that
If he made a wreck of the vessel to make
1t a good one. This, however, does not
seem to relieve the owners of the re-
sponsibility ensuing from a knowledge of
the character of the vessel. The docu-
mentary history OF the M etropolis shows
that the vessel was an old one, had un-
dergone several changes and had once
surrendered her enrolment on account
of being "broken up" and was. altogeth-
er, very unreliable old craft. The
evidence of the wreck itself proves that
her timbsrs we're rotten. The Metrop.
oils affords but a single instance of the
persistent hazard of worn-out vessels TO
sea service, aud it would be well If some
friend of humanity, such as Plimsoll, the
Englishman, versed in the needs and
practical proprietIes of the business of
shipping, would give mankind on this
side of the Atlantic the benefit of his
philanthropy.
