THE "PHlLosOPHY OF DESPAIR"
The Subject of Sermon Preached bJ
Ihe Rev. George W. Sweeney, on
Sunday sight.

The Rev. George ". Sweeney, new pastor
Of the Linden street Christian church, Is
preaching TO large and crowded eongregs-
lions from Sunday To Sunday. II wss an
nouueed in the Religious Column on Sun
day, that his evening sermon would be
the "BIues, their Causes and Cure" The
church people from all the churches
of the city were represented, and
multitude of outsiders, and "curi-
osity seekers" swslled his congregation
to an unusually large audience. Doubtless
the ior part of the audience expected 4
sensational treatment OF the subject. But
DR.. Sweeney delivered sermon nearly an
hour ia length on the philosophy Of d.
spair." l. was z sermon accounting Tor the
"uro dings" of men, that come down over
them aud eat mp vitality and hope like
destructive cancer. Hesho6ed how proper
understanding of physiology removes thou
sands Of these ills that have foundation IN
the body and through sympathy affect
the mind and breed despair. And he showed,
therefore, that what men often think to be
"iery darts of Satan" and "failing grace"
are nothing more than affects OF sore
stomachs" and torpid livers." When peo-
pie study breeding colts and calves less and
the culture of the children" more, the
world will have better health and hence
more Hope, the antagonist Of Despairi DR..
SSesney argued bis subject also from a
standpoint Of mental philosophy. The study
OF the mind and all the woDdtous environ
ment of the thought and loves and volitions
of the soul. A thorough knowledge OF
human nature enables a man 10 pull out
the weeds aud grow seeds of truth, the soul
that make hope and not dependency. A
man who knows well his bod and
mind knows "whst is the mat
ter with him." and can and will
| exercise these phantoms that are two
| frequently thought to be the direct work o.
| the fiery darts OF the devil. 1t was argued
| that ali men in certain sense also should b.
| "theologians." They should know that they
possess by nature religious factor. They
| were made for two worlds, for duties her,
| and preparations for hereafter, and he who
! neglecls 10 live out the plan OF God IN hi
soul must suffer despair. God gave maj
religion and revelation to help hin
hope and cave him from bitterness
and eourness OF soul, that invariabl,
overtake the man who lives out OF fellow
| ship with the Divine sympathy. A man gu
| Of fellowship with God is in ill-adjustmsn
| to his environment and is at war with thu
stars No wonder, living such an Immature
| lie, that he should at times become "blue !
| Health and hard work, and love and p!enl.
of religion, will give the world a crop O
Christians and less of chronic grumblers an,
'cranks."
Men should be up and doing,
| With Il heart for any fate.
| Still achieving, still pursuing,
| Learn to labor aud to wait
"Lives Of great men all remind us
| We should make our Ii YES sublime,
| And, departing, leave b hind us
| Footprints in the sands of time.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Felicia.

Mise Rose Eytinge appeared at Leubrie's
last night in the play of Felicia, which ia
evidently an adaptation from the French.
The plot of the story Is very simple one.
An abandoned woman, Felicia" has son,
captain john" whom she loves devotedly,
and to whom she has never revealed
the secret of his iguominious birth.
He and "Eleanor Moray" high-bred lady,
are engaged, and "Felicia" hopes to see the
marriage contaminated, A shrewd but hon.
est lawyer, IN. Ferri," gets possession OF the
secret and informs the father OF the lady.
The match is, consequently, broken of, but
the course OF true love Is eventually
turned into it's proper channel, when
"Felicia' shows that the father OF
her boy was no other than the brother OF III.
Mornay. The psst is consequently wiped
out, the lovers are married, and Felicia"
takes the nuns veil. The play is very
Frenchy in its nature, as can be seen from
this meager outline, but its situations have
not the usual thrilling quality of the
French play. Miss Eytinge as "Ft-
| lician showed that she was an accomplished
actress. She has the natural fire and pathos,
and the finish which only experience can
give. Her Felicia" is consequently an
animated Characterization and one that re-
| fleets credit on her as an actress, though it
| is not 90 powerfully and picturesquely drawn
as come of her others Representations Miss
Gsorgie Knowlton acted the part OF dolores
Mornay" in very charming way. Miss Kate
French WAS a sprighuy and original old
maid. Atkins Lawrence made quite hit
in the part of captain john" He acted
with deal of vigor and dash. George
Morton Was, of course, excellent as Louis
Casssgnac," q man Of idle habits, but
with the instincts and heart of a gentle
| man. Mr. Morton is one OF the best
general actors on the stage. VIM. Herbert
as an. Mornay" was relishable, aud Frank
Dalton was a very good an. Ferri." IL
fact, the company is one of the best on the
road, and the play was in consequence
| faulllessly presented,

AN OTL.MILL SAGS.
The III anaaer Establishment Caves in
Sunday Morning.

About o'clock Sunday morning an Sc
cieent OF some magnitude occurred in the
Hanauer Oil-Mills, located on the river
bank near the foot of Adams street. The
back part OF the building, which extends
nearly to the river, is made of wood. 1t is
built over an old cellar. At the time above
mentioned the entire wooden building sunk
in the center. There we're 5000 sacks of
oil-cake, ten OF which make an English
ton of 1900 pounds, making 500 tons or
], 100000 pounds on the floors. The first
floor was very heavily loaded; indeed the
sacks of cake were piled almost up to the
second floor. This wss, of course, heavy
strain, and caused the beams to sag. Every
floor bent in in the same manner, but with
out falling in. As soon az the sinking &C.

near 10 o'clock am, on Wolf river. VIM.
Heidel, John Tyler and Henry Nsgie were
