Philosophy in the Pulpit!

Some Of the preachers of Boston have
spoken plainly against Sarah Bernhardt,
and advised their congregations not to
see her when she visits that city. The
Rev. j. p. Bland, however takes the
other view of 1t, and gives the following
peculiar reasons: "rhe fact is that all
people Of an artistic nature, such ms ac-
tors, painters, poets, and musicians have
n strong tendency toward transgrcssion,
and are constantly vacillating between
right and wrong. Take, for instance,
SHAKESPEARE, Burns, Moore, Titan, Tur-
ner Mozart, and many of our great ac-
tors and singers during the last 100
years, from the elder Kean to the pres
ent time. All bear the same type Of
character. The question now comes,
shall we patronize these people who are
sinners against the common lawp What
do these people stand forp If for teach
ers OF morality, ] say no; but because
their lives have not been what they
ought to be morally shall we refuse to
enjoy the good they portray BY no
means.

SCIENTIFIC.
The Weather of the Future.
Whit Terrible Jupiter Is Going
to Present us.
Washington Post.

The most eminent and audacious
prognosticatOrs of the age, Mr.. Ticc, of
ii. Louis. and Mr.. Vennor, of Montreal,
have made out their weather programme
for the winter. Mr.. VennOr predicts
tremendous snOwialls as far South as
Washington" Mr.. licc, "heavy rains
In the South and heavy Shows in the
North, with extremely low tempera-
ture." The latter, casting his prophetic
eye still further ahead, says also that we
have entered upon period Of unusual
perturbatons, of which the maximum
will not be reached before Il year from
next fall.
All Of which signifies that if these
weather wiscacres know what they are
talking about. We may expect to be bur
led In snow this winter and washed out
with floods in the spring; to be convus-
ed with all sorts Of elemental irregulari-
ties for year or two longer--be shaken
mp with earthquakes, perhaps, swept
with cyclones, frozen into ice-bOcks,
and blasted with thunderbolts. There
fore, the Post suggests, in the language
Of the preacher, that those who have
houses had better be putting them in or
der.
Such is the pervson of the present
ent generation, however, that even these
Oracular utterances of disaster will prob
ably give 1t no concern. 1t is more than
likely that people will 90 on as usual,
marrying and giving in marriage, max.
Ing money and making merry, schcmng
for "soft places" under the new admin
istration, and lobbying "fat jobs"
through Congress, altogether unmind-
full of the mischief that Jupiter, the arch
disturber of the planetary family. may
be connecting for their special cdiilca-
ton.
In the meantime, the sled makers and
the livery men will congratulate them
selves on the prospect of this seasons
sleighing, the ice dealers will rejoice in
the certainty of an abundant crop on
which to raise the prices next summer,
and the lightning rod agents will take to
the road again in multiplied numbers
and sublimcr impudence.
Even our Democratic friends, who arc
just now sadly in need Of consolation,
may find some grains of comfort in the
thought that whatever catastrophes are
about to bcfall us, they can all be chNrg-
oil up to the Republican party, which,
claiming, as it does, sole credit for the
blessings of the past, must, by parity of
reasoning, be held responsible for every
thing to the contrary in the future.

The american Reprint of the En-
cHciODe{iO Britannica

We wish to call the attention of the readers
and thinkers of our city to this grand work No
work of its kind stands higher in the estimation
of scholars than the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Its great cost was the only hindrance to its gene
raj use. American readers generally could not
afford to pay ten dollars per volume for twenty
one volumes And until the work was reprinted
in the United States we were obliged to content
ourselves with its possession in few of lead
ing libraries.
The work is now furnished in the American Re-
print at about one half its original cost and per
feet in all its parts, every word, cut illustration,
map and plate being honestly and faithfully re-
produced.
TESTIMONIALS FROM STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, OSH-
KosH, WISCONSIN.
OSHKOSH WIS, Dec. II, 1879.
Col. E. B. GRAY, Agent for Reprint of EScY-
CLoPEDIA BRITANNICA,
DEAR SIR: The opportunity you have given
us to compare the three editions of the ninth is
sue of the Encyclopedia Britannica--viz., the
'Original English Edition." the american Re-
print by J. NJ. stoddart & Co., and what is call
ed the 'Scribner-Hall Edition'-has enabled us
to discover the following facts:
l. The "Scribner-Hall Edition" is decidedly
inferior to the Original in the letter press, pa
per and binding.
2. 1t does not give the full text of the English
Edition. and in some instances the omissions in
text are such character as to teach error. Es-
pecially is this seen in the article Anatomy,
3. The plates do not agree with the Original y
most of them being smaller. These reductions
in some cases being made, and the text describ-
ing the plates not being changed, correct idea
of the size of the plants (see article "Botany'')
cannot be obtained.
4. The marginal references in many instances,
are so bound into the backs of the volumes as to
render them quite useless.
5. The maps vary from the Original show
ing that they are not 'from the same" but from
quite inferior, plates Notably is this the case
in the maps Of Cornwall and Cumberland, in
which the fine-line engraving showing elevations
is entirely omitted.
6. So many serious defects occur in this sScrib
ner-Hall Edition. that we do not hesitate to say
that the guaranty given that we are getting the
work. ''both in letter press and illustrations like
the English edition" is not being carried out in
good faith. In other words, we are not receiving
what we contracted for.
SO far as we have examined the American
Reprint" published by J. NJ Stoddart & Co., it
is a faithful reproduction in subject-matter of
the original text, maps and plates. 1t is well
printed on excellent paper, is well bound, and is
in better form for the shelves and ordinary hand
ling than quarto.
