The Hon. Jeremiah Blacks promised reply
to Bob Ingersoll's article in the October North
American Reriep will not appear in the No
vember or any other number. The reason
why is explained by Judge Black in letter
10 the Philadelphia Press, in which he gives
such an account of his treatment by the pre-
siding genius of the Reriep as to show that
any further intercourse between him and that
iunctionary IS impossible. Mr.. Blacks first
reply to lngersoll was written only on the per.
slstent ana urgent solicitation of the manager
OF the Rerie,o. and with the stipulation that
Ingersoll was TO have an opportunity to reply
to which Mr.. Black should be allowed 10 make

The same number. On the eve Of the publica.

fifty pages of the foulest and falsest libel that

New York, Nov. ~
The police are searching for some swindicrs
whose latest victim was young man from
Liverpool who answered an advertisement tor
traveller for a commercial firm. He found
two welldressed men, who consented to EN-

honesty, He was without acquaintance in
this country, but he had a valuable watch, $25
IN money, and an extra suit Of clothes, and he
deposited these articles with the advertisers.
They gave hun an account against firm in
Buffalo to collect. He went to Buffalo only to
find that II was a purely mythical firm he had
been sent to collect from, and when he hasten

Strike anew your bsrpS of gold;

Was there one whose soul was
weary
With the burden of this life;
One with past and future dieary.
Tired of poverty and strife.
There he came, with accents sootl :

Sought to ease their rugged road.
Sought to win their souls TO Jesus,
Aud gain, thereby, the blest
abode.
Where ever sickness, dreadful
mantle,
lowered DER hearth a1d home,
Through the dust and heat he
wandered,
Strove to hush the sufferers

The needs of church were all his
