DIR. Talmage in England.

Christian World.
We could fill many columns again this
week with letters from correspondents,
respecting the sharp practices and igno-
rant talk OF DIR. Talmage but the Eng
lish public has, we think, had about
enough OF thatgentleman and his agent.
A Bristol correspondent tells the follow
story, which is, perhaps, new to most
readers. II has been proverbially hard
TO catch a Bristolian asleep. Soon
after the arrival OF the "Great Ameri-
can Orator" he engaged to deliver a lee
ture in Bristol for 5000, and the gentle
man who made the engagement put
six-penny agreement stamp on his let
ter. Shortly after this, DIR. Talmage sent
IN sav that he must have $3.50, and ask
ing Tor an immediate reply. The gentle
man used the simple answer, Come
Within a short time OF the day liked
upon, another letter arrived from the
doctor, stating that the inquiries Tor
his services were so numerous that he
could not go to Bristol under $500. The
telegram in reply was, Come Come
Come -" He came and produced roars
of laughter by his lecture, and some OF
our most popular ministers laughed
heartily over his jokes, and prayed Tor
the Divine blessing to rest on his labors.
But instead of receiving $500 for his
hire. the cash handed him was 500.
ooh this is wrong; said | should not
come under $500" But when he saw
the stamped agreement, he found tnat
he had been out : tilted for once and
perhaps, this disappointment led him
and his agent to decide upon having the
money beforehand. DR.. Talmage's ig-
norant use of the Bible has been fire.
ouently pointed out, and several cores
RESPONDENTS wish to call attention to his
sermon on Rahab, whom he describes
as an immoral woman, but every school
boy now knows that the word "harlot"
means innkeeper, and the whole second
chapter proves that Rahab was the mis-
tress of an inn. The men sent by Joshua
were good, brave and trustworthy COM
missi0ners and, therefore, it is absurd
to suppose they selected the house OF a
harlot for nights residence. The proofs
in the chapter are abundant to show
that Rahab was not only a devOut, but
also a heroic and intelligent character,
and well acquainted with the history OF
the approaching invaders. In fact, she
was nothing less than an intelligent
preacher, for she says, 81 know that the
Lord has given you the land
the Lord your God, He is the God in
Heaven above, and in the earth below"
When the spies returned to Joshua,
they doubtless gave a full account OF
their mission, with Rahab's character
and hospitality; and that her establish
ment was one of the best in Jericho.
The fact of its being on the wall, and
not in obscurity, is sufficient proof OF
respectabilitG. In chapter vi, %, Rahab
is respectfully noticed again, "as dwell
ing in Israel until this day"

Protaplasm.
Catholic Mirrnr

Catholic Mirror.
Protaplasm, compounded OF two
Greek words, the one meaning first, ~
and the other "fOrm," is the term which
natural scientists have coined TO desig-
nate matter in its original and simplest
form. As sandstone rock is composed
of an immense number of particles OF
sand aggregated solidly together, and
NAV be pulverised into sand again,
protOplasm is imagined to be the orig
inal substance from which all living be-
ings are developed. The lowest form Of
known existence is but a single, form
less, minute lump OF protoplasm, yet is
capable, we are told, of sensation, mo-
ton, nutrition and propagation.
DIR. Altman, in his inaugural address,
at the annual meeting OF the British AS
ISOLATION, said: Though the refined
svnthesis of modern chemistry may
have succeeded in forming few prin-
ciples which until lately had been DEEM
ed the proper product OF vitality, the
fact still remains that no one has ever
vet built up one particle OF living mat
ter out OF liieleSs elements; that every
living creature, from the simplest
dweller on the confines OF organization
up to the highest and most complex or
ganism, has its origin in thepre-eXistent
living matter; that the prOtOplasm of
to-day is but the continuation OF the
prOtoplasm OF other ages, handed down
to us through periods OF indetinable and
Understandable time"
His further conclusion is, that while
life is property of protoplasm, thought
is not a property OF matter. "The
chasm." he aiiirms, between uncOn-
scIous life and thought, is deep and i'm
passible, and no transitional phenom-
ena can be found by which, as a bridge,
we NAV span it over" Further on he
teaches that the properties OF "con-
scousnesS belong to a category absolute
" distinct; one which presents not a
trace of connection with any OF those
which physicists have agreed in assign
ing to matter as its proper character
istics." And, with still greater pre-
sision and emphasis, he declares that
between thought and physical phe-
nomena OF matter there is not only no
analogy, but no conceivable analogy /;
and the obvious and continuous path
which we have followed up in our rea-
sonings, from the phenomena OF lifeless
matter through those of living matter,
here comes suddenly to an end"
From this discourse, those who will
have it that there is Conflict between
science and religion" will, we take IT.,
derive no consolation.

The Rich California; Banker

the richest California bankers has left
the Pacific coast and transferred his
base OF operations to the New York
Stock Exchange, all the shrewd fnan-
ciers watched his course with keen
interest TO see how ne would succeed.
The result has emphatically proved the
wealthy bankers sagacity. Besides
having much wider and more promis-
ing field to operate in, he is known
TO have been in several stock combina-
tons that paid immense profits. By
the combination method OF operating in
stocks Messrs. Lawrence q Co, Bankers,

toners, in different sums, into one vast
capital, aud operate them as mighty
whole, dividing profits pro rata among
shareholders every 80 davs. Capital in
anv amount from SO to 100000 can
be used with great success in these
pools. S25 would pay 500 profit. $500
would make 5000 or 10 per cent on
the stock during the month. Messrs.
