The Religion of To-Day.

A writer in the North American
Review, periodical of high reputa-
ton, and which has always endeavor-
ed to wed the highest culture to ortho-
dox religion, undertakes to show the
nature Of the change in the
illogical opinion which has passed,
or IS passing, over a great part of
Chrlstendom. In the avowed doctrine
of the Churches, he admits that there
has been no change, but he offers
what seems to us a fair, though, by
no means, an exhaustive, proof that
great change has practically occur
red. From large class of our fash
ionable pulpits, he tells US, the "old-
fashioned doctrinal sermon has al
most totally disappeared "A heath
en-, desiring to learn the doctrines of
Christianity, might attend the best of
these churches for whole year, and
not hear one word Of the torments of
hell, or the anger Of an offended Del
ty, and not enough Of the fall of man,
or the sacrificial sufferings Of Christ,
to offend the most bigoted disciple Of
evolution" That this is true for Eng
land, as well as America, may be
granted, but the question remains,
whether the specially fashionable
pulpits," either here or there, repre-
sent the main current of Christian
thought. That the old habit of dwell
ling upon materialistic views of eter-
nal punishment, and ingeniously ago
nizing the mind Of the hearer by pic
lures of horror and despair, has almost
passed away, is as true as it is satisfac-
tory. It has often struck us as won
derful that Christian people used to
take this matter so coolly. But for
historical evidence" says this writer,
1T would be incredible to most think
ing men of the present that our Chris
tian ancestors not only believed the
greater part Of the human race to be
doomed to unending torture, but i'm
agined themselves as seeing them
selves as seeing the terrible sentence
pronounced, without ripple on the
serenity Of their own eternal bliss"
Christians OF former generation
went to a strange extreme on this
point; but, as it is the nature of error
always to recoil into the opposite ex-
treme, and thus to land its victims in
to a new error, rather than in the
truth, Christians of to-day tend too
much to explain away the seventies
Of moral government, and to wash
away all distinctions between sin and
holiness, vice and virtue, in deluges of
rose water. < =; = Truth says
Thomas Carlyle, has to change its
vesture from time to time;" but, in ac-
cepting the new truth Of evolution,
we re-enforce, instead of obliterating,
the essential truth of the Gospel
English Paper.

OUR Washington dispatches add an
other to the innumerable striking ex-
amples of the popularity of Mr.. Blaine
as candidate for the Presidency. A
canvass has been made of a large num-
Der of weekly newspapers, scattered
over the whole country, to discover
their preferences for Presidential can
didates This has been done for busi-
ness purposes, and without any design
to exert an influence in favor of any
candidate. OF the Republican news
papers which respond ID, there are 216
which prefer Mr.. Blaine's nomination
while only 80 speak for General Grant.
No doubt there will be disingenuous
politicians and newspapers to declare,
as they did of the Tribune's canvass
of Pennsylvania Republicans, that the
showing is manufactured, that friends
Of Mr.. Blaine were carefully selected
and friends of General Grant
as carefully excluded from the
canvass. Every attentive reader of
the Tribune knows how far this is
from the truth. The Tribune sent its
circular to every Republican county
and township committeeman in Penn
sylvania, and has printed the replies
impartially as fast as they were re-
ceived. The Washington newspaper
canvass is less complete, and yet the
business necessities of the case furnish
a guarantee that it was honestly m ade.

A Strange DeluSiOn.

Recent attention has been directed
to the case Of Evan L. Evans, which
was an extraordinary one. He recent
ly became a religious enthusiast, and
belonged to what is called the Calvin
Methodist persuasion. He was devot-
ed to his church, and was regarded as
a religious man, and attended strictly
to his religious duties. Some three
weeks before he was taken to the
asylum, he began to manifest marked
symptoms of insanity. He grew
worse, and ON the day before he was
brought to Mankato for examination
he set his family in row of chairs and
proceeded to make an examlna-
ton of each one, by sounding and
humping them on the breast of each.
He said that he must have a sacrifice
of blood, and one that was perfectly
sound and healthful. The Oldest child
boy about SIX years of age, he said,
possessed the necessary qualities OF
perfect soundness. Just at this mo-
ment, his brother-in-law, Mr.. Jones
CHANGED to come to the window, and
saw his actions. Evans Immediately
ordered Jones to come in and take his
seat in the row, which he did. Evans
then announced his purpose, like Abra-
ham to offer human sacrifice. Jones
thought it best to humor him, and
told him that it was good thing, but
very closely watched his movements.
Jones watched favorable moment in
which to pursuade Evans off to a neigh
boris by the name Of Roberts togeta
butcher-knife with which to make the
sacrifice. Evans started out for the
knife at Roberts, and in the mean
time Jones started the wife and two
small children off through the woods
to her mothers, retaining the threat
ened boy with him. 1t seems Evans
turned back to his house, and caught
Jones taking his sacrifice" as he
termed his boy, away. They had
some sharp words, the result of which
was that Jones agreed to hide the boy
in the bushes and then to saddle a
horse with which Evans was to go
after the butcher-knife. This was
done; and, after Evans was gone,
Jones got the boy away to a place of
safety Evans went after the knife,
but did not get it, because it was in use.
He however got the promise of the
knife that evening, the party owning
it being ignorant of his purpose.
Meantime Mr.. Jones gave the infor-
nation, and his friends came and per-
suaded him to go down to Mankato
and see the physicians, and attend the
gospel meetings, which he finally con-
sented to do. He had filled the seeder
with corn, with which to have fire
and smoke for the sacrifice, as he told
his wife. Previous to this, on the
same day, he caught and tied up fat
COW, in order to bleed her to get the
blood for a sacrifice. This he told to
several of his neighbors. 1t seems
that after New Years he wrote out
sermon and showed it to one of the
deacons of the church. His wife and
friends are of the opinion that lately
he has been devoting himself to relig-
ious matters. Two days before he
was taken to Mankato he was out
riding, and looking, saw an opening
in the clouds, and said that was the
way to heaven. He is now in the
asylum at st. Peter.

A. r. B. WRITES: Riding with a
friend recently, he asserted that the
wagon brake produced greater effect
in retarding the vehicle when barely
allowing the wheels to turn, than
when it locked them entirely. l said
he was mistaken, but could give him
no satisfactory reason. Am [ right,
and if so, please explain why?

is constantly presented for friction

FOREIGNERS in China are sometimes
10 better treated than the Chinese are by
the hoodlums Of San Francisco. There
is rather aggravating information of
the brutal way in which the Rev. Ma
than Sites, of the American Methodist
Episcopal Mission, has been misused
by the mob of Yenping-foo. In ac-
c0rdance with the advice of the Dis
trict Magistrate, he had closed his
chapel and refrained from preaching:
yet while walking through the streets
he was waylaid and severely beaten.
In fact, his prosecutors were upon the
point of drowning him, when the
Magistrate arrived, and barely succeed
ed in saving his life. Whether, under
existing circumstances, we have any
right to demonstrate with the Chinese
Government upon these barbarous
proceedings, the remOnstrance will
doubtless be made Indeed, the Uni
ted States consul has already moved
in the matter. 1t is a good time to
remember that with what measure we
mete it shall be meted to us again,
though this will be no consolation to
the Rev. Mr.. Sites n. Y. Tribune.

Pointe Conpee Banner: Some time
after midnight Of the 18th October, the
store Of Mr.. Morrison, situated on Bayou
Forloche, about twelve miles back from
the Mississippi river, was discovered to
be in full blaze aud was quickly con-
sumed. Mr.. Morrison was known to oc-
cupy the store alone at night. As moth
ing was seen of him about the place by
those who went to the fire after its dis
covery, search was made among the
smoking ruins, and few Of his charred
bones were found. It is thought this is
n case of murder, robbery and arson, as
certain jewelry and other gold pieces
which were known to be in the iron safe,
were not found therein after the fire.
Mr.. Morrison was m elderly man and q
comparative stranger in the parish, hay-

next Tuesday and Wednesday and
have ysur names placed upon the as

election will be. an important one, and
when the day comas upon which it is

cannot unless you are assessed, and
your taxes have been paid. There are

proper condition to cast vote. Reflect,
consider, and at least make an effort to
get assessed.
