LIE VENERABLE Thurlow Weed In a
letter to the ~ Y. Observer makes the
following extraordinary statements with
regard to the secular press, 1t only shows
how differently people look at the same
thing. So far from the tone of the secu-
lar press having undergone a marked
change for the better in the past twenty
five years, there has, in our opinion been
marked change for the worse. The
secular press, much of it, is now openly
lnhdel. In the South, at least, twenty
five years ago, not journal dared openly
to ridicule religion, or assail the inspira-
ton of the Bible. The ". Y HeraH
was at that time one of the few papers
that practised this course in the North.
Now Its tone is better, but it makes con-
slant tllngs even now at evangelical Chris
tlanity-ridicules it on all occasions.
Serious religion it -habitually treats as
Dickens treated it in his novels.
Look at the Popular Science MontAzv,
issued by one of the first publishing
houses of the country. This publication
is not only hostile to Christianity, but it
is almost atheistic; and yet it goes into
every house, Lock at the atlantic
Monthly, the leading literary magazine
of the century-openly infdel. Look at
the North american Reuiero. Look at
the International ReuierO (unless it has
improved under its new editor). Look
at the Contemporary Revieao in England
the Nineteenth Century, the Fort,,iqhtzy,
the London Times. This last-named
journal, year ago, published an edito-
rial formally attacking the Bible and the
Bible Society. And yet the ". y o.
aerVer and its correspondent, Mr. Weed,
talk in the following strain:
listened with charmed interest to the article
in the Observer of the 10th ult upon the atti-
tude OF the Secular Press towards Religion
Long years of observation and experience en-
able me to confirm the accuracy of your assump
tons. The tone Of the Secular Press in refer
ence to sacred things has undergone marked
change for the better. This NAV be fairly
claimed as one of the many trIumphs of Reli-
gion during the last half century. Happily
AlHSIsHli 80 lar as Ine 1reSS Is concerned has no
organs nor do we now as formerly find men in
every community oficiously ready to avow In
fidel opinions. Paine's age of Reason in.
stead of being obstructively prominent in book
stores and libraries is seldom seen or asked for
So far as am informed Col. Ingersoll now en-.
Joys the unenviable distinction of standing alone
in publicly denying the divine character and
mission of our Saviour. Nor shall 1 be sur
prlsed to find him, as the discussion progresses,
Persuading himself out of delusion SO 1nwor-
thy of his intelligence and of the age Indeed
1t seems to me impossible that gentleman of
high intellectual attainments, irreproachable
character, with the physical i'm press of his Crea-
tor, can much longer content himself with the
rePq1lsive belief that the purposes of the AL
mighty in the creation of men so gifted, are &C.
comPlished by tenure of life alike brief and
uncertain
This is all bosh. The land is filed
with infdels. Where are the followers
of Huxley and Haeckel? OF Mill and
Spencer?

IHE ANNOUNCEMENT of the death OF
Captain John hampden Chamberlayne,
editor of the State newspaper, on Satur-
day last, fell like shock on our whole
community. The death of such man
in the prime of manhood, will be felt
alike by the whole State. We knew
Captain Chamberlayne well, and admired
him as one of the most gifted and bril-
liant men whom we ever met. His
mind was vigorous as it was fertile; his
wit was as keen as the falchion of
Saladin, his scholarship was good, his
knowledge encyclopedia. He came out
OF the war penniless, and carved his way
to leading position in the State by his
abilities as a journalist His record as
soldier was like romance-always
among the bravest of the brave. He was
the son of DR.. Lewis w. Chamberlayne
of this city, born in 1888, and took the
degree of Master of Arts at the Univer-
sity of Virginia in 1858. He volunteered
as private in Company F of the 2lst
Virginia Regiment OF Infantry in 1861,
and afterwards served in the artillery
where he was promoted to the rank of
Captain. He was engaged in all the bat
ties of the Army of Northern Virginia
Refusing to surrender when the armies
of Lee and Johnston capitulated, he
made his way on horseback to Mississippi
where he remained until tranquility was
restored. He distinguished himself par
ticularly at the Battle of the Crater,
where, for his gallantry, he was promoted
on the field to the command of battery.
When the war ended, he found himself
on the world, with helpless relations de-
pendent on him, and he Iabored for some
years in some obscure capacity on one of
our railroads, earning few hundred dol
lars year.
His success in. journalism was immedi-
ate and brilliant. He conducted a news
paper first in Petersburg, and afterwards
in Norfolk, with great success, and some
few years since removed to Richmond,
where he founded and built up the State
newspaper, until it ranked with the fore
most in the South.
In the private relations of life-as son,
husband father, brother-his life was
one of tender devotion and beautiful con-
secration.
AS a citizen and journalist his impulse
was always high and lofty, his course
self-determined, bold, and manly.
We. feel thht among the leaders Of
thought in Virginia, in this transitional
stage of her history, a light has been
quenched, whose dazzling rays, whether
followed or not, were never unmarked by
those who guided our political affairs.
His M nd stored with all the treasures
Of English lit, nature, it was as a CONVEX
sationist that our departed friend was
pre-eminent. Who that knew him has
not wondered at the range Of his thought
the rapidity of his mental operations, the
vigor of his reasoning, the fertility of his
wit, the incisiveness of his criticism, the
wealth of his information?

THE question has arisen at st. Thomas,
Canada, whether a man who rents a pew
at church can use it for sleeping apart
ment during the hours Of service. The
courts decide that pew is like berth
in a sleeping car, and a man can sleep in
it or sit up and listen to the sermon.
On the same principle, we presume, a
man has the right to stand on his head
in his pew.

PRoF. FISHER observes that it is very
doubtful whether the individuals of our
Teutonic race who are now attacking the
Christian religion would know their let

THE Christian InteJhgencer suggests
that instead of calling the Rev. Mr..

auce with the fitness of things to call it
"The Church of the Nonentity."

ANDREW YOUNG, author Of There is

America.
