The last 'numb Der of the North
american Review contains two
specially interesting articles on the
Christian religion, the first from
the pen of Col. Robert q. Irgersoll
aud the second by Judge Jeremiah
g. Black. The paper of the latter
was written at the request OF the
iitor Of the Review as a reply to
the arguments Of Tngersoll attack.
Ing the Christian faith, which he
withheld until both could appear
together. Col. Ingsrsoll In this
contribution, intended for a
grave magasine, has abated
much of the usual levity of
his style. Judge Black says
of this improvement In the
manner of the great infidel. 1.-THE
"articIe before US is the least OBJ.
'jsctionable Of all his productions.
"Its style is higher and better
''suited to the weight of the theme.
"Here the violence of his hercs in
"vective is moderated; his scurili.
"ty gives place to an attempt at
"sophistry less shocking II not
"mors true, and his coarse jokes
"are either excluded altogether, or
"else yelled In tho decent obscurity
"of general terms. Such a paper
"from such man, at q time like
"the present, is not wholly uH-
"wortby of q grave consideration"
As to the style and manner of
Judge Black both are admirable In
the extreme. He preserves in bis
green old age that trenchant logic
losl force aud inImitable grace In
the handling of the English Ian.
guage In which he has been SUR
passed by no American of any age.
It is pleasant to know that this
great man, as he enters the shadow
Of the grave, is imbued by lively
and vital faith In revelation. His
old power of reinforcing unanswer.
able argument by delicious sat ire
is still possessed by the Judge In
the full measure of his younger
days. Ingsrsoll has at last encoun-
tered foeman worthy Of his steel,

This is Ia striking contrast to the ac-
counts of previous experiments with

stated that experiments made on
soft pine board with the pistol, at
q distance of sixteen feet, resulted
In the balls rebounding from the
wood without making any consid.
cradle impression, certainly not
enough to hold the ball. 1t was
also said that, while the ball was
large. on opening the cartridges the
charge of powder was found to be
utterly inadequate to drive it with
any force. No one who read the
nrst telegraphic report could
come to any other conclusion than
that Guiteau had employed q
cheap and comparatively harmless
pistol, little more dangerous than
the chiId's toy affair, while the
second story represents 1t as a
highly effective weapon. Which
Of these several contradictory ac-
counts contained the truth will

rich men are forcing on his wife.

Ia but one sentiment as to this BIZ
zarre transaction. Two men who
were approached to subscribe to
this indelicate fund, VIM. H. Van
Jerbilt and John W. Mackey, very
properly replied that If President
Garfield died their checks could be
had for $4,000 each, but If he lived
they would give nothing. Com
menting upon the action of Mr..
Mackey, the Sacramento Record
Union very properly said:
John w. Mackey Is said to have
refused to contribute towards the
$3.50, 900 which it was proposed to
raise for the President lately.
Doubtless John w. Mackey had a
perfect right to refuse, aud in our
judgment he was justified COM
pletely in his course. The PROPOSE
ton In the first Instance was most
indicate, vulgar and hair.braineo
Que. 1t was y most coarse and sor-
did way of expressing regard and
esteem for the President, and IL
smacked Wiley of dollar worship.
There was no reason for raising
$3.50, 900, or any other sum, either
for General or Mrs. Garfield. Had
the President died. it might have
been In order to do something of
the kind, but under the circum-
stances it was clumsy, premature
and in bad taste. If John w.
Mackey never makes greater
mistake than in declining to con-
tribute to that fund, he will have
very few slips with which to re-.
proach himself.
