NEW YORK, December 20.-Yesterday
Beecher preached what lie called double
sermon on doubt, infdelity, atheism, skep.

gersoll's political speech in the Academy
OF Music in Brooklyn, In which Ingersoll
expressed the very sum and substance Of
the Gospel itself. 1.-THE trouble with In.
gersoll, said he, sis this: He has selected
the excrescences OF human lie as It has

lupatics with wens and warts all over them.
Suppose that the physician should gather
these into q museum and say: There's
humanity for you, what do you think Of

the religious world. He says scores Of
true things that have been said before, but
he don't know 1t. He is not widely read

A Case tina. Puunles the Doctors.

CHICAGO, December 2o.-The Daily NtsSs
says the doctors are puzzled and interest
cd by peculiar case on the West Side, s8
Zeely avenue. Willie Crawford, aged "A,
son Of William Crawford, captain Of tug
boat, has for seven years been sweating
blood at tines, and has lately had severe
attacks, which alarmed his parents. His
infrmity comes on him usually alter tax
ing cold. Great black patches appear on
the body from which blood drops the size
OF pinhead exude. Blood flows from
bis mouth, nose, eyes, stomach and even
from his bladder and kidneys. No pain
accompanies these discharges, but they
make his blood thin and weaken him.
Sudden fright or excitement will tempo
rarily check the flow. He is mentally
bright, and his father, mother, brothers
and sisters are strong and healthy. The
physicians who have taken an interest in
the case propose sending him to Edinburg
and London for examination by the Aca-
danny OF Surgeons.

the impression that the family had ab-
Bented themselves for the night.
In the debris was found the crisp and
charred remains Of the trio. Excited in

was at once made for the two men, and 1t
was found they had separated, one going
towards Aberdeen and the other In the
direction Of Tupelo.
The posse who went in pursuit 10 Aber-

OF the Commission on Agriculture, he had
spent some time In Ireland studying the
Irish question. They had now, he said,
to face great crisis, and he believed a

A correspondent at Dublin says the
country is drifting nearer to the rocks and
nothing is being done to save her. The
wave OF agitation sweeps with greater
force through the provinces, and although
It has met with check In Ulster, nobody

loyal feeling in Ulster imposes, will be

The national Edueational BilI.

We are Of the opinion that the views
expressed by Senator Davis, Of this State,
aud others, on the Educational bill that
passed the Senate lsqt Friday, are those
which should have prevailed. Tho full
amount received from the sale Of public
lands and from patent fees, about 81 $780,
900 annually, was none too much under
the circumstances, considering the de-
RlOrable amount OF illiteracy in the South,
especially among the colored population.
The neeesities for their educational i'm
provement can never be more pressing
than at this time, and 1t Is not likely that
the States or the people will ever be
90 poorly able TO provide for their educa-
ton as they are at this time. This being
the case, and in view OF the constant
menace Of ignorance to good government,
ills Gllimportant that common school cd
rcatiOn should spread as rapidly As possl.
bic.
There are, We admit, some reasons why
Senators might well hesitate to accustom
the people OF the States to rely on
Government aid In the cause OF educa-
ton, but the fact that the South IL com.
paradvely poor, and also comparatively
uuaecustomed to the school system, out
Weighs this consideration. It 10 certain
that the more general education Of the
masses 10 needed in most Of the States,
and especially OF the South, and inasmuch
q the results Of the war have left on our
hands an unusual mass OF untutored
minds, II becomes O necessity 10 provide
iot the emergency on tho largest possible
scale.
We trust, therefore, that the House will
amsnd the bill 90 as to give effect 70 the
views expressed by Senator Davis, Sen.
ssors Ingalls,. Pendleton and others, and
mus place the whole amount received
tsom the sale Of public lands and from
petentl available for the cause OF public

from the fact that half Of the States CON.
