The following letter from Rev. G. w.

Bob lngersOll,s Idea Of He'll.

Col. Bob Ingersoll delivered his new
lecture on "He]l" to q crowded audi
ence in New York last week. He said
the idea of hell was born of the twin
sisters, Revenge and Fear, and that the
American people were too brave to be-
lieve it. For himself he despised any
man who could believe in it. 1t was a
fraudulent and monstrous fable. Every
religion was the work of men, and the So
called sacred books were only the dis
tortion of the clergy. Any religion that
had to depend upon miracles was a
fraud, for the truth did not need the as
sistance of superstition. 1t spoke for
itself. So far as dogma was killed lib
erty increased, and that liberty was as
serting itself was proved by the fact that
he was allowed to speak on the subject.
He quoted passages from the Bible
which declared that there was a hell,
and said no God ever wrote or dictated
any such nonsense. eff not to be-
ieve it was to consign me to hell, l will
eagerly go there and rejoice even in my
doom at my intellectual liberty in this
world"
He then entered into a TRADE against
the Bible generally, and concluded by
saying that, when it was brought before
the bar of the nineteenth century, it
proved itself false and pernicious.

Mexico cannot be involved in the ques-
ton at all. It is not fight between
two nations. 1t is like gentleman
whipping cur that has barked at him.
We must learn these Gringo dogs good
manners, that's all. We thought the
height of Yankee insolence had been
reached when they demanded the extradi-
ton of the heroes of the storming of the
Rio Grande City Jail. Gen. Canales
merely raised his whip, and the big dogs
at Washington howled mercy. They
appealed to the generosity of the Mexi-
can people, and that is an appeal that
is never made in vain. We could afford
to be magnanimous to mongrel race OF
Yankees, Niggers, Dutch and canaille,
that for twenty-five years have cowed
before Mexico. We overlook their in.
discretion. We expected they would
not again dare to lift their hand against
Mexico, but it seems we were mistaken.

Extraordinary Surgical Operation.

James Houston, a cloth-worker, 90
years of age, q native of Campsea, near
Glasgow, had a malignant sarcomatous
tumor in his larynx which obstructed
respiration. It had twice been removed
by opening the larynx and taking it out,
but it had required, and from it's malig-
nant character would have produced
death if the operation which DIR. FOULS
described had not been performed. The
larynx has been entirely taken out and
an artificial one substituted. The pa
tent was produced at the meeting of the
Medical Society. Re conversed with the
members, and read to the meeting a
passage from the prayer-book
This is the first time the operation has
been performed in England. 1t las
been ten times tried on the continent,
with varying success. The present is
the most successful case, the patient be-
ing in better health than he had expert
enced for many months. The deliberate
and careful manner in which the opera
ton was performed in this case probably
accounts tor the successful result. Care
was taken to introduce tube into the
windpipe as soon as it was cut across,
and below the seat of the disease, 30 that
no blood could get into the lungs during
the further steps of the operation. DIR.
FOULS thus had ample time to thorough
" accomplish the removal of the larynx.
The whole operation occupied two and a
half hours, the patient being under the
influence of chloroform. Recovery nus
been uninterrupted, and there is no APP
pearance whatever of recurrence. The
man is quite fit for light office-work.
The larynx supplied to him consists OF
two tubes, one of which goes downward
TO the trachea and the other upward to
the mouth.
The patient can talk in whispe,
without these tubes, but, when reed
plate is slipped into groove in the
lower tube a resonant sound is produced

As the scholar sees in the vain but beautiful

pressions Of tho hungry human soul, blindly
cropping after the infinite SO the physician sees
in that popular myth OF the sixteenth century

Europe were ransacked for this wonderful
fountain, and Ponce dc Leon sought for 1t In
the cypress-swamps and tangled everglades Of
our sunny Florida. Men have searched for Ii
everywhere and anywhere, but 1t really is-in
the human body itself. The blood is the real
fountain of perpetual health aud youth. Wheu
this source is corrupted, the painful and sor-
row-producing effects are visible in many
shapes. The multifarious forms in which 1t
manifests itself would form subjects upon
which might write volrmes. But as all the
varied forms Of disease which depend upon bad
blood are cured or best treated, by such medi-
cines as take up from this fluid and excrete
from the system the noxous elements 1t il not
OF practical importance that should describe
each. For instance, medical authors describe
about fifty varieties OF skin disease, but, as
they all require for their cure very similar
treatment, 1t IL OF no practical utility to know
lust what name to apply to certain form Of
skin disease, so you know how best to cure it.

Gus kinds OF scrofulous sores, fever sores,

Uogent Reasons for a Grand Success,

Conspicuous among the highest examples OF
success which the present century can show il
Hostetters Stomach Bitters. The record of it,
triumphs over disease is to be traced in the
written acknowledgements of thousands who
have experienced its beneicent effects, and the
evidence of its popularity is to be found in the
vast and growing demand for the article in
North and South America, Mexico, Guatemala,
the West Indies, Australia and Europe. The
reasons for its unparalleled success are cogent
ones. The accumulated evidence of nearly
thirty years shows that it is a certain remedy
for malarial disease, as well as its surest pre-
ventive; that it eradicates dyspepsia, constipa-
ton, liver complaint and nervousness, counter
acts tendency to govt, rheumatism, urinary
and uterine disorders, that it imparts vigor to
the feeble, and cheers the mind while ii inyig-
crates the body.

but it takes the intelligence of Satan to
create one. look upon it as the blank
est piece of idiocy of the age"
"Do you think it will pass ?"
"Pass no. Congressman are not all
blank fools; but, if they pass that bill,
they certainly are. If such course
were proposed in time of war, they

time of peace it may do, but how are we
to take care of the thousands of miles of
road and border with a reduced army

"What do you think of the plan to
compel army officers to wear their uni

In bar-rooms and among Congress-
men they should wear citizens dress.
but, in the garrison and among gentle
men, by blank, sir, they should wear
the uniform of officers and gentlemen.
Understand me, sir. They should not
wear their uniforms among Congress-
men and in bar-rooms, but among gen.
tlemen they should wear their uni

The General was intensely in earnest

his grandeur of utterance. it arose above
profanity and became eloquence. -
