Pictures Taken in Eaoes.

Few of the great European colec-
tions Of painting are forlorn of works
illustrating the topography and archi.
lecture of Hades, as sketched out in
Dante's immortal verse. Society, how.
ever, has hitherto yearned in vain for
any authentic description of his Satanic
Mejesty's dominions, illustrated by
drawings executed on the spot; and it
has been reserved for Professor Leuchin,
of Moscow, to fill up this hiatus by a
work which he has just published, under
the title of "The Mysteries of He'll and
It's inhabitants "a folio volume, en-
riched by seventy photographs Some
of these are portraits of the leading
native celebrities, while others repro
duce the process of torment most in
vogue amongst the present administra-
tors Of the Tartarean penal code. In
his preface to this remarkable book the
learned professor gravely remarks: ave
have heretofore only been able, by the
aid of conjecture, to arrive at a dim ap-
prehension of the tortures that await us
in the subterranean realm but, after
protracted and all but superhuman ex-
ertons, succeeded in throwing light upon
all this more or less vague information,
and in producing an absolutely anthem
tic description of He'll and its inhabit-
ants. Severely striking original photo
graphs of eminent internal personages
and q faithful deoictment of the last
judgement will be found to represent
completely and extensively all those
phenomena which have hitherto proved
insolubly enigmatical to humanity at
large 1t is to be regretted that the
professor should have preserved a
Sphynxian silence respecting the details
of his journey in the lower regions, and
of the visits he must have paid to the
diabolical dignitaries who so amiably
permitted him to photograph their en-
pressive lneaments. In enabling US,
however, to contemplate undouhted
likenesses of Lucifer, Ashtaroth, Bel
zebub and sundry other distinguished
characters Of the same class, Professor
Leuchin has established claim to our
lasting gratitude. London Telegraph.

''the eye of the mind implanted by
Heaven. 1t is held by some commenta
tors on Confucius that he had no con
cepton Of personal God, but used the
term heaven impersonally, to denote
the pantheistic principle in the universe;
but Prof. Leggc, whose careful tranala-
ton and commentary we have followed
in the foregoing citations, is Of the opin-
ion that the term heaven is iitly
explained by the lofty one who
is on high" There seems to be in
ternal evidence Of this in the
saying Of Confucius, Gle who defends
against Heaven las none to whom he
can pray" The idea Of otfense, Of prayer
and of such alienation BY ofense that
prayer can no longer avail implies the
recognition of personal being, and the
term Heaven is but reverential veil
for the name Of God. Upon the whole
we may gather from Confucius that re-
ligion is an inner sense of rightness or
fitness implanted in man by his Creator,
and which prompt to reverence toward
GOD and the spirits of sages and of an
cestors, to virtue in the conduct of life,
and to Justice and kindness toward
others.

The Jesuits in Madagascar.

You are aware that the Malagasy have
adopted the Protestant faith, and under
the guidance of Christian Queen and
an enlightened Government, are rapidly
advancing in civilization. The Jesuit
priests, who are now under the protec
ton Of Especial Commissaire' from
France recently arrived in the country
are resorting to what looks very much
like fierce. The Commissaire busters,
threatens, gives sundry hints about
'.French men-of.war,' and magnitiCs
trumpery charges against the govern
ment into matters of grave political i'm
portance. The Jesuits are laying claim
for political purposes to a large and val
liable piece OF ground in the centre of
the capital on doubtful evidence. In
one province in particular they dictate
to governors and native officers, bind and
fog Protestant teachers, break up the
schools, interrupt the worship OF the
people in their chapels, officially com
plain of the preaching, the hymns and
even the prayers Of the native preach
ers, and in one case, at least, they have in
duced a chief to pull down protestant
chapel. The government is ina dilemma,
and the whole country is in a state of
excitement and trepidation. The fear of
the French is 80 great that the govern
ment is afraid to move in case it may get
into other and worse difficulties. Tho
impression Of some is that there is def
finite plan to create difficulties between
Catholics and Protestants, and bring
this government into such complications

ference, and ultimately, il may be, for

Celluloid Dangerous Explosive.

The dangerous quality of the com
pound lately introduced into commerce
under the name of "celluloid" has been
lately attended by two fires, resulting
in the destruction of some of the largest
European manufactures, with loss of
life to several laborers. The first took
place in the establishment of the Com
pagnic Franco-A mericaine du Celluloid,
Nc. 80 Rue de la Brishe, at st. Denis,
near Paris, and, burning like train of
powder, in spite eff prompt attendance
OF the tiremen, required more than five
hours to bring under control, and sell
dom, on account of the combustibility of
the article, has fire presented such
grand spectacle, the flames all on sud
den embracing tho entire building. The
loss in material to the company is esti-
mated to be 100000 francs, covered by
insurance. Two working men were
very severely wounded, and will proba-
bly, die The other FIRE occurred in
Berlin on tho 18th Of November, in the
hard rubber celluloid billiard bali manu-
factory of MessrA Magnus Il Co.; and
proved even more destructive, killing
three workmen outright Both Of these
hres were preceded BY an explosion,
