CHINESE CONCEPTION OF HELL.--The
sixth court is situated at the bottom
Of the great ocean north of the Wuch-
lao rock. It is vast, noisy Gehenna,
many leagues in extent, and around it
are sixteen wards. In the first ward
the souls are made to kneel for long
periods ON iron shot. In the second
they are placed up to their necks in
filth. In the third they are pounded
till the blood runs out. In the fourth
their mouths are opened with iron
placers and filled full of needles. In
the fifth they are bitten by rats. In
the sixth they are enclosed in net of
thorns and nipped by locusts. In the
seventh they are crushed to jelly. In
the eighth their skin is lacerated and
they are beaten on the raw. In the
ninth their mouths are filled with fire.
In the tenth they are licked with
flames. In the eleventh they are sub
iected to noisome smells. In the
twelfth they are butted by oxen aud
trampled on by horses. 4 In the thir-
teenth their hearts are scratched. In
the fourteenth their heads are rubbed
till their skulls come off. In the fif-
teenth they are chopped in two at the
waist. In the sixteenth their skin is
taken off and rolled up.-[Shanghai

The attitude of the Eastern ques
ton is becoming more threatening ev-
cry day. On January 3lst, in the
English House of Commons, when the
question of voting 96,OOO,OOO came
up, the members of the war party ex-
hibited signs of hostilities. It was
declared that the armistice had not
yet been signed, and that the sending
of the feet to the Dardanelles was all
act of hostility, and there is now a
hard struggle going on in England
between the war and anti-war parties
AS the Russians are continuing their
march in great force toward Constan-
tinople, decision may be expected
soon.

WHICH party has the majority in the
House of Representatives anyhow?
The Democrats seem to have control
of the organization, but the only evil
dence of the fact is an occasional
growl at the Doorkeeper because he
cannot squeeze two constituents into
one Office. The Republicans, howev.
er, seem to have control of the legis.
lation, which Is the important part of
the matter. Constructivcly the Dem
ocratic majority is twelve, but the de
facto Republican majority on test
votes seems to be two. The cause of
this state of things is the inability of
some seven or eight Democrats to
keep their seats. One Of these days
this thing will become regular feat
ure of legislation. when it does, we
shall be compelled to add to the rec
ord of the ayes and noes record of
those who were unable to keep their
seats. Charley Foster has been heard
to say that the Republicans could con-
troll tie House with the assistance of
Sanderson. This should be other
wise, !

"a man in a forest was building Ca

why he did this and that, the man
looked up quietly and said, see here,

"THE defence which the South Car
DINA newspapers make of their "show
Of iorce at Republican meetings is
remarkable. Thus the most devoted
organ of Governor Hampton. the
Charleston .frws aud Courier, saws /:
The Democracy have divided time
with the Radicals, it is true. 1t is
their right to attend any public meet
ing, whether those who get up the
meeting like it or not, and they have
a right to be heard at the meetings" ."
This is pretty cool, but its signifi-
canoe is not fully apparent until the
meaning of attending" and taking
part is explained The Republican
meeting at Sumter was attended"
by three thousand Democrats. inclu-
ding 600 mounted and armed horse
men. The result was that the Rad
icals" disappeared entirely, and the
Democrats took not part but the
whole of the meeting. The orders
are clearly the same as they were in
1876, when Hampton telegraphed to
one cf his friends: "The Huukadori
Club on the way here for row to-
morrow. See Pickens and delay
train till evening" The hulldozers
go prepared for a 'row" now as then,
and they go well heeled" and forti-
fed with the same '.tool-chest" which
figured in 1876. The .Veus and Cou-
-ier adds that the plan of campaign
cannot be changed at this late day,
because to do that would be ito ad-
init that what was and is done is un-
lawful and wrong The country has
already reached that conclusion with
out the admission"

A despatch dated at Harrisburg
some days ago says; A German farmer
from Miunesots, who was on his way
to Europe, with his family, was swim
died on Pennsylvania Railroad train,
between this city and Miflin, out Of
$500. A confidence man learned that
he had with him the partial proceeds Of
the sale Of farm, and, helped by .
confederate, 6esced the German. The
confidence man was approached by his
accomplice, who claimed to be an ex
press agent. and informed him that if he
did not fork over $500 for goods car
ried be would dstain the car alieg ed to
contain them in this city.
The person addressed said be had
nothing but drafts and turning to the
farmer asked him for the loan of the
amount, profering drafts represented
to be worth fifteen hundred dollars IS
security. The German fell into the
trap, and soon after the bogus express
agent disappeared from the train with
the money. At MarysvilIe the other
confidence man jumped of the train
while it was moving thirty miles an
hour and sustained serious injuries, and
he is now in the Harrisburg Hospital.
On his person were found only tvo dol
lars in good money and seven COINS in
imitation Of twenty dollar gold peices.

evenings in dissipation. This first

"a little incident occurred yester-
day morning, that will be more thsn
ordinary interest to the veteran Union
soldiers in Harrisburg, especially to
those who were confined in the prison
pens of the South during tho war.
Among the guests At the Locbiel for
the past week has been General David
Vicksrs, of New Jersey, . tall fine
looking gentleman, who served with
credit and sallsntry in . New Jersey
regiment, as General Hoyt did iu one
from the Keystone State. During the
war Vickers and Hoyt we're captured
BY the Rebels, and confined in one Of
the Southern prison pens, Macon, Geor-
gia, for . long time. Iu order to pre-
vent the threatened 0ombardment Of
Charleston, South Carolina, BY our
troops on Morris Island, . large body
Of prisoners, about SIX hundred in num-
Der, including all the field officers were
sent on cars to that city. During
the journey Generals Hoyt and Vick-
ers, accompanied by two or three others,
sprang from the cars IN the darkness,
when they we're in full motion, and es-
capped. They wandered through
the swamps all night, and knowing
they we're hunted like Wild beasts, and
fearing recapture, wadsd into . dense
thicket OF brush and water. and re-
NAMED there all day, hungry unto
starvstion, sad almost literally con-
sumed BY mosquitoes When the
night came on they got back into the
road and when within . few miles ol
cur lines were treed BY bloodhounds,
and taken on to Charleston, where
they remained all through the lombard
ment. During their stay there they
became separated, and from that day
until yesterday they bad never met,
and hence il was with more thsn ordin.
ary fereor tha. the two veterans grasp
ed hands and congratulated each other
at the Lochiel Hotel yesterday. The
two officer. sat and related their ex-
perience to each other since their sepa.
ration, and it was evident that their
parting for fifteen years had not oblit.
Grated that love for each other that il
felt in common BY all the veterans ol

am positive on this point And T.
McClintock, Esq, well known 10 you,
says he has often heard General Hoyt
defend the Bible and revealed reii-
gion, in the bar Office in dspHts with
brother lawyers.
Yours respectfully,
T. B. HODGE.
These letters completely explode
this mendacious falsehood. The ac-
quaintance of the parties reach back
to General Hoyt's young manhood,
and follow him to the present. There
is, therefore, not shadow of uncer-
tainty left, on the points at issue. A
warfare of this kind is of the mean
est possible spirit. As a rule, its ten
dency, when exposed, is to draw to
the party assailed the aid and support
of all honorable men. 1t is peculiar
ly shameful that falsehood of this
character should have been SO indus
triously circulated against him. And
yet, it is, in q sense, compliment.
1t shows that his opponents realize
that he is strong among the better
classes, and that if they would harm
him, something must be invented.
His honest, noble character is proof
against fair assault. Therefore to
reach him at all, falsehoods must be
invented. We are gratifed to be
thus able to lay before our readers so
clear and authoritative q refutation
of this slander. Let our friends
meet the falsehood, and denounce it,
wherever they may find it. In point
of fact, General Hoyt is . Presbyte.
rian in his religious faith.
