The Archbishop on Ingersoll.

Yesterday lines
Very Rev. j. B. Purcell, Archbishop
of Cincinnati, WAS next visited, and
asked his opinion of Mr.. 1ngersoll and
his attack ON the authenticity OF the
Bible. He took pen and paper. and
in q few minutes handed the reporter
tho following terse and beautiful tribute
to the Bible, and stated that ii en-
braced all that he wished to say at pre-
sent:
81 know nothing OF Colonel Ingersoll
but what chance to see now and then
in the newspapers. Having firm faith
in the Bible, the Holy Scriptures, as
the written word Of God, and having
seen for more than sixty years the re-
futation OF all that skeptical, irreliglous
men have written against the Bible, am
profoundly grieved that its integrity,
authenticity and veracity should now
be called in question. AS the Bible, in
my judgment, is the greatest solace and
support to man in the sorroWs. the al
hictions, the temptations and the trials
to which he is subjected in his journey
from the cradle to the grave, consider
him vino questions and denies It's diyln-
itv, its wisdom, its being most precious
boon OF heaven, as an cncmo to the hui
man race, and impiously ungratefuI to
it, authOr-(iOd."

WASHINGTON, Nov. Ex-senator Bruce,
who has been travelling III Europe with
his bride since his marriage i'll June Is
expected to arrive here soon, and has
engaged handsome residence on Capt.
toll Hill for the remainder Of his Sena-
torial term, which expires on the 18th OF
March, 1881.
There is some social agitation here
with regard to the manner in which
Mrs. Bruce will be received by the
swells of Washington. She is Il lady OF
fine personal appearance, an octoroon,
and is, perhaps, better educated than
most OF the women who intend to snub
her If she presumes to enter society.
She was a school teacher in Cleveland,
but her husband has sufficient wealth to
CRAFTY any taste she may have in the
way of personal adornment, and it is
whispered that WARDROBE purchased
byher in Europe would be priced by any
of our bellies.
1t is requirement OF official etiquette
here that all the Cabinet ladies' and the
wives of Congressman shall make the
first call upon Senators vile, and the
wives OF the older Senators always make
the approach to an acquaintance with
the wives of new Senators.
The only colored Senator's wife who
ever attempted an entrance to Washing
ton society was Mrs. Pinchback, six
years ago, and, being both beautiful and
accomplished, she was not only treated
with cirility, but made quite lioness.

Commodore Vanderbilt on Interest.

From Bishop Mclutyrc's Testimony.
The Commodore repeatedly desired
that Vanderbilt University should be
built on no meager plan, and that no
proper measures should he spared be-
cause of lack Oi funds. Once when the
witness expressed a fear that necessary
work would be rendered impossible be-
causco of want OF money, the Commodore
told him To 90 on and finish the work
and trust TO Providence. and ON
the strength OF that" continued the
witness. amid laughter. IL did 90 on
and trust 10 Providence 500, 900 worth.
When the witness visited the COmmo'
dore in 1915. the latter suggested that
the Bishop should visit Yale College and
Corncll University Ito see how they did
things there" Once he asked the wit
ness ii they owed any money. The an
Swcr was that there was one oIitstand
ing note for $500.
"IIow much interest do yOn pay?
asked the Commodore. The answer was
10 per cent.
Ten per cent" exclaimed Commo
dorc Vanderbilt. ''Ten per cent VIII!
You ought not Ia pay II ten minutes
Bishop. what are YOU thinking Of, usins
my money to pay ten per cent. l
this is the way YOU are going TO manage
things down there YOU had better loos
out.
Then the Commodore suddenly be
came quiet, and sitting down. said
DO YOU know, Bishop, that II is higi
rates of interest that are running TIN
countryb Mighty few businesses car
afford 10 pay 10 per cent. AMI then To
no long time. Take three men goin!
into business with $1,000 each. and ie
one OF them lend his property to th'
Others at ten per cent. and IN less thar
twenty years he will have II all.
| [I.aughter.l
You needn't he troubled about thi
note" the Bishod said he told him

on YOU for the amount" William II

/ answer.
