Scotchman's eye, a sudden pull down
OF the shaggy eyebrows, and the stern

it, throw such strength of mind and

given you.''

MR.. DILLON IN PRISON

If Mr.. Dillon desired to provoke the
British government to his arrest. he has
succeeded, although what benefit he is t.
obtain for himself or for Ireland from iu-
generation does not appear. He gains
no repute for wisdom from the violent
speeches which resulted in his arrest
while on his way to Dublin, on Monday
and he certainly has not contributed to
the enactment of the Land bill, unless
the bitterness OF Irish members toward
the government convinceS the peers that
the Land bill is the least concession thai
will appease the Irish people. Mr.. Dill"
seems to have taken Mr.. Parnell's plac,
Is an inciter to violence, the charge upul
which he was arrested being that of i'll

RELIGION AND SCIENCE

WHAT a nice world ours would be if
the lngersollian gospel of unbclief were
widely accepted. With no Deity and no
hereafter. and consequently no moral
check upon the evil passions of humanity,
how long would the fabric Of society hold
together? The system has been tried
heretofore, and it's fruit was anarchy. 1t
is needless. however. to dilate on this
phase of the subject since the lngersol-
liam ideas are neither new nor liable to
make dangerous Roadway in a well-re.u-
lated community. The missionaries who
discovered quiniiie did more good Tor the
world and tor humanity than all the great
without understanding their works; and
probably Il few quinine pills. taken be
tween his athciStical chills and his ora
torical feverS. would do more to cure him
of his moral malaria than any further
intellectual culture.
We see it stated that arrangements
have been made for the establishment oi
one more school of Christian philosophy,
where there will be lectures and CONVEX
sations on topics that touch the relations
of religion and science. The place Sc
lected is Warwick Woodlands, Green
wood Lake. New Jersey; the time of be-
ginning is Tuesday. July -; the dean OF
the faculty is Rev. DR.. Deems. of the
Church of the Strangers; the secretary is
Rev. 4. II. Bradford. of Montcair. y. j.,
and the lecturers already engaged are
President Porter. of Yale College: Chan
cellor Crosby. OF the New York Univcr-
sity; President Bascom. of Wisconsin
University: Prof. Browne. of Boston Uni.
