HE ROBBED THE EXPRESS.

John Mallory was formerly brake
man on the"Q," running into this city.
He was looked upon as an honest, hard
working young man. But if all stories
are true, John has strayed from the path
of honesty and has become robber.
Last Wednesday evening, at Monmouth,
he entered an express car and took
three packages from off the safe, and ran.
He was caught, however, but the valua-
bles have not been recovered. One pack
age contained jewelry, and the other two
money. He was taken before a mag
istrate and bound over under 5000 BAIL

THE BELLS OF CoRNRvIILE.

The Bells of Bonneville drew a mode
rate audience at Harper's Theater, last
evening. The play is as interesting as
that of ''Iolanthe," and many chances are
given for good acting and singing Mrs.
Haas took the character of "Serpolette, .
in which she displayed her talents to good
advantage. The acting of William Wolf,
as "Gaspard, the Miser," was very good.
and drew forth several encores. The
rest of the company acquitted themselves
well, particularly Messrs. Barnes. Hart
Norcross and Dixon. All who missed tn,
''Bells of Bonneville" missed treat.

A RELIGIOUS sect in Hindostan believe
in S,4O0, 900 successive varieties of exis
tence after death before the human soul
is finally and thoroughly purified for a
happy immortality. How the exact
number was fixed is puzzle to the
theologians of the Western religions who
call for proof of so many varieties OF
future state. Our own learned doctors
of divinity cannot agree upon one condi-
ton of probation in which the sinful soul
is prepared to enter endless bliss, and
and this uncertainty veXes the serenity
of many sincere minds as long as they live.
One chance of preparation seems too
narrow to take all in, and there is very
comfortable latitude in the Hindoos'
figures, and one can be proved just as
well as the other
