The Lanancse idea or Hell

articles exhibited at Tiffany is scarf of gray
Canton Grape, which portrays the Internal re-
gions, according to the japanese idea. The
scarf is nine yards long, and half a yard wide
The first scene represents Satan on earth
seeking new victims The arch fiend appears
as sulphuric, yellowish green demon, with
protruding horns, cloven feet, and demoni-
acal expression, Turing his victims into his
net, and plunging them into fiery depths
They appear to fall into nest of burning
scorpions, where they are tantallzed by
glimpse OF their friends enjoying themselves
IN a lake of cool water. In the next scene
Satan takes the form of an immense dragon,
with his human victims crouching in terror at
his feet. They are mercilessly dragged into
court, and the judge is represented as con-
demning them to be tied to rocks, and to
have red-hot lead poured down their Threats
They are then chased by hyenas through
field of open knives and other sharp instru-
ments. The victims are next portrayed as
being tortured by having their limbs sawn
off, and by being thrown into revolving
wheel of fire. Satan next appears to be look
ing out for new victims on a field of battle.
Some of these victims are made to hug red
hot stove pipes, while Satan himself, with
smile, is tanning them. Others are swim
ming in seas Of blood, surrounded by laugh
ing demons. Others, still, are seated in a
cauldron of red-hot sulphur, having their
tongues pulled out. Some are represented as
carrying heavy burdens of coal, and throwing
it into the fire to burn new victims. His sa-
tanic majesty is next represented as feeding
his subjects with rice, presumably to give
them strength with which to endure greater

An American wrote stefano.

An American diplomatist, it seems, is the
original designer Of the Bulgaria of the treaty
of San Stefano. When the conference had
been agreed upon, late in 1876, Ignatietf
thought it would facilitate the discussion if a
scheme already drawn up were laid before
the ambassadors when they met. He there
fore proposed that Mr.. Schuyler, the Ameri-
can consul-general; Prince Tserteleff, secre-
tary of the Russian embassy; and MIR. Bar
ing, secretary of the British embassy, should
draw up a scheme for the future organlza-
ton and administration of European Turkey.
Mr.. Barring was, however, at PhiGppopolis,
the punishment of the murderers of Batak,
and he could not come. So the preparation
of the scheme was left to Mr.. Schuyler and
Prince Tserteleff. Mr.. MacGahan now says
that he knows as positive fact that in lgna-
tieff g original design he proposed, instead of
a united Bulgaria, two or three separate
provinces; and that the idea of uniting them
into one was Mr.. Schuyler's. Prince Tser-
teleff, after some discussion, agreed to this,
and the scheme of a united Bulgaria went
before the conference. Mr.. MacGahan says
he can imagine Ignatieff s smile of grim sat
isfaction when he informed Mr.. Schuyler
that Lord Salisbury had rejected the idea of
a united Bulgaria, and that the representa-
tives of Russia had consented to its partition,
after some hesitation. The scheme OF unit
ing the Bulgarians north and south OF the
Balkans was Mr.. Schuyler's, and if the Brit
ish government contrives to modify this plan,
as embodied in the treaty of San Stefano,
and to divide the province in half, it will re-
vert to Ignatief 8 original plan. That Rus
STA would have more influence over divided
than a over an united Bulgaria is a self-evl-
dent proposition.

LEMOYNE PUBLIC LIBRARY.

In the past few years no question of social
science has excited more earnest discussion
or elected more careful thought than that of
public Misunderstanding matter for the
masses. Depravity, in all its power, has no
stronger check than In intelligent mental
culture and action which spring directly from
reading, and the observation to which read
ing leads. The organization of Odd-Fellows
IN thus city, ever foremost in labors of love
to humanity, not long since began active eff
forts looking to the establishment of a pub
lie library and reading-rooms for the people
of Memphis. Every one must rejoice at the
success they have already achieved. and at
the promise of greater success in the future.
But, unfortunately, the state of society and
sentiment is such with us that fully one-third
of the people of Memphis, and the ones, too,
who most fearfully stand in need of its help,
are absolutely or practically, as a class and
in body, perhaps, necessarily debarred from
the enjoyment of its inestimable privileges.
OF all classes, the colored people stand most
in need of help and encouragement TO men

earnest effort is being made to establish
permanent library, TO which they may have

AnIrish KISSING Cnmadv-

On the main road in Ranelagh, suburb of
Dublin, dwell a grocer and Doctor in houses
nearly opposite to each other. One evening,
about three weeks ago, the doctor sent his
housemai1 across the road for some whisky.
1t was past closing time, and she knocked
and knocked again without having the door
Of the grocery opened unto her. While she
was standing there, the grocer himself came
up the road, and saying, Good Knight, Jen-
ny, tired to snatch kiss from her. The
maiden's sense of propriety was outraged,
and she at once returned to the doctors
house and informed her mistress of the pro-
ceedings over the way. The matron promptly
ordered out the reserves. The doctor HIM
self crossed the road and attempted to batter
down the grocer's outworks. The grocer
opened the door, and after hot fire of oaths
slammed it in the enemy's face. Instantly
the whole neighborhood was aroused by
shrieks of agony. and a crowd speedily gath
cred. The doctor was found to be a prisoner.
His hand was on the doorpcst when the door
was slammed, and he was pinned. The be-
sieged refused to open the door, and it was
not until the neighburs effected an entrance
In the rear that the agonized doctor was res
cued. He was carried home. and his injuries
were so serious as to render the amputation
of a thumb and two fingers necessary; and
even then erysipelas set in.

a DISGRACEFUL AFFAIR.

OF the Catholic and Episcopal
Churches He Subsequently
Enters n Catholic Church
and Is Expelled and
SOundIy T'hrashed.

New York Times: A disgracefuI affair oc-
CURED at Long Branch on the third instant.
Patrick Welcb, a lecturer, advertising HIM
self as having been sixteen years In the Cath
Ole church and fifteen years IN the Protestant
church, delivered lecture in the afternoon
at the Centenary Methodist Episcopal church
on ''Romanism and Supremacy of the Pope"
The church was crowded with people from
all denominations. The lecturer began by
informing his hearers that the days of the
pope and his church were numbered, and,
after making general attack on the Catho-
lie and Episcopal churches, gave his reasons
for renounclng the religion of the pope, and
why he became Protestant. The lecturers
remarks were of the most blasphemous ma
ture, and, Notwithstanding a number of en-
lIghtened people were among his audi
tors, he was repeatedly Kissed. He carica-
tured the communion service of the Catholic
and Episcopal churches, and said that he re-
celved more opposition from Episcopal cler-
gymen In delivering his views than from the
Catholic priesthood. The lecturer finished
amid the Jeers and groans of the assemblage.
Rev. Mr.. Hartranft, pastor Of the Centenary
church, arose after We!ch had finished and
agologIzed to his congregation for allowing
the church edIice to be opened to the BIAS
phemous lecturer. The pastor wished his
congregation to know that the trustees of
the church permitted 1t to be used, and not
he. 1t was feared that bodily injury would
be done to the lecturer after the meeting was
over, as a number of Catholics who had
heard WEIGH S remarks were outspoken as to
what would be the treatment accorded him if
they CHANGED to meet him. 1t was reported
in the evening that the lecturer was going to
attend Father Walsh's church, and it be-
came noised about that if such was the fact
scene" would take place. The church was
crowded, and Father Walsh had lust COM
menced the first prayer when the defiant lee
turer entered the church, and the congre-
cation was startled by several voices ex-
claiming, ''Thele goes the sucker" Almost
simultaneously several stalwaIt fellows
jumped from their pews, and grabbing the
unfortunate WEIGH, dragged him to the door.
Great confusion ensued, but quiet was speed
lily restored by Father Walsh, who told his
people that a drunken man was being elected.
at the doorway WEIGH was met by several
young men, whe, throwing him to the ground,
beat him numerically. Had it not been for
the interference of several gentlemen, he
would probably have been killed. WEIGH
finally escaped. Those OF his companions
who had entered the church with him re-
manned until the close of the services, and
then quietly stole away by the vestry-room
door. The conduct of Welch is condemned
by Protestants and Catholics. WEIGH threat
ems to have his assalantJ arrested. Should
he do so, Father Walsh will proceed against
him for disturbing the devotional services IN
his church
