New York Dutchman settled theological as
pute between Christian and infidel the other
day in a very practical, OFF hand way. The former
had based his arguments the Bible. and Expressed
his belief in God the creator of all things ana III
Christ the Saviour of the world. The latter s"ore
by Darwin's Hypothesis of Man." lngersoiis mis-
takes of Moses" and his book on the "rhe uoos'
| They laid their creed ana books before the pcer
drinking Teuton who declared that his religion WAS
to eat drink and be merry, and he did not care
about any other Then taking up the inhdei DooA
on .'The Gods" he asked who was the autnor!
Bob Ingerson" was the answer
"where does he live:"
Peoria. Illinois,"
Taking up the New Testament he asked the name
of its author and was answered
'.Jesus Christ"
..where does He liver?
'In heaven"
Then turning to the infidel he said "You be gov
erned by lie book de gods. and ven you die you
go to Bob Ingersoll. Peoria. Illinois," And to the
Christian, .'You be governed by dc New Testament.
and ven you die you go to Jesus Christ in heaven"
A Presbyterian who will bak and kick the dash
board because he cannot have everything his own
| way a Western exchange thinks had better be un-
hitched and traded Oft to the Baptsts. His field of
usefulness the Presbyterian Church is so limited
that he cannot stand upon It without hanging over
the boundary lines. Such spirit. il generally in
dulged. would disintegrate and destroy the entire
efficiency of the denomination.
An old gentleman of eichty-fonr having taken to
the altar damsel of sixteen. the clergyman said to
him m-.You will find the font at the opposite end Of
the church." "What do want with the font?' asked
the old gentleman. II beg your PARDON" said the
clerical w.t. II thought you had brought the child
to be christened.'
The power of analysis is certainly very great in
some persons, and don't know its possibilities Of
usefulness yet. Here is rustic Californian apply
ing it to plate collection in certain Presbyterian
church when 200 persons present and the col
lection amounted to $40. The money was in sixty
pieces and therefore, given by only sixty persons
so that 14O gave nothing But of the sixty who did
give eight gave half dollar each and twelve
quarter EACH so that one-third of the gvers
| contributed seven-tenths of the gifts. Eighteen
gave ten cents EACH and twenty-five gave five cents
each. And if they had only had copper coins it is
hard to tell how deep in the mine they would have
| gone. The analyzer draws two important facts
from his analysis which applicable to New
York to San Francisco. First, that the contribu-
tions for objects of Christian benevolence come
from a few. The majority give nothing or only
mere pittance to keep up appearances. And second.

THE EXILED GERMAN BISHOPS.
WHY EMPEROR WILLIAMS AMNESTY DOES NOT
INCLUDE THEM-oBEDIENcE TO THE STATE
LAWS THE ONLY HOPE OF RECONCILIATION
AND RESTORATION.
The Rev. DIR. Joseph p. Thompson. formerly OF
this city. of Berlin writes interesting letter
to the Independent in which he says that there is
good deal of surprise manifested in the German
capital because the Of the Roman Catholic
bishops and priests who have been prescribed for
refusing to submit to the so-caed Falk laws
do not appear i'll the list of the 800 per-
sons amnestied the Emperor Williams
golden wedding. For nearly year the Doctor
says there had been rumors Of some compact Of the
Prussian government with the Pope. by which these
ecclesiastics should be restored to their functions
upon some technical profession Of allegiance to the
State and the Falk laws should fall into allegiance as
a dead letter. The public had been curious and
alarmed at the strange intimacy which had sprung
up between Bismarck and Windhorst. leader of the
ultrAmontanes, his most pugnacous and thorny OPP
ponent. 1t was plain that windhorst and his party
had agreed to support the Chancellor in his
policy of protection and it is through the adhesion
of this once hostile party that the tariff ques-
ton the Chancellor has been able to WELD majority
in Parliament against his old supporter the
liberals. Nobody could believe that this support
was pledged without consideration. Some fancied
that this consideration would be given in restoring
the throne of Hanover to the Duke of Cumberland;
but all expectation in that quarter has died out.
Then ii rumored that the exiled clergy were to
be restored and that Concordat was to be es-
tablished between the Prussian government and
Rome 1t believed that the golden wedding
would be the occasion for divulging these
rangernents, and the friends of Minister Falk were
in hourly expectation of his comp pulsory resigna-
ton. But the day has passed, and there is hint
of amnesty for the exiied Catholic clergy. 1t now
leaks out that this had been contemplated. but
hindered by insuperable obstacles
THE AMNESTY FAILED.
'.The TRUTH" says DR.. Thompson. "seems to be
that Prince Bismarck. whose governing policy Is the
interest of to-day. irrespective of the OF
yesterday, willing to conciliae the party of the
Centre the sake of their support his financial
schemes for the army. But when compromise
over the Falk laws limited at the feeling of the
peo pie was reused against any retrocesson of til,
government before the Catholic clergy. Many who
deprecated those laws at the first now feel that
the dignity and supremacy of the government
involved in their support. But the chiei
obstacle to compact with the Roman Catholic
clergy lies in tact that last year, when acting
in the name of the Emperor, the Grown Prince ad
dressed letter to the Pope in which he said that
any pIan of reconciliation between the Prussiafi
government aid the Pope must proceed upon the
basis OF the submission of the clergy to the
thority OF the State according to the laws. This
