tioH of friend | tried BRowN's
Iron BITTERS as a tonic and re-
storative for my daughter, whom
i was thoroughly convinced was
wasting away with Consumption.
Having lost three daughters by the
serrible disease, under the care Of
eminent physicians, / was 10th to
believe that anything could arrest
the progress of the disease, but, TO
my great surprise, before my daugh-
ter had taken one bottle of BRowN's
Iron BITTERs, she began to mend
and now is quite restored to former
health. A fifth daughter began to
show signs of Consumption, and
when the physician was consulted
he quickly said "Tonics were re-
CURED :" and when informed that
the elder sister was taking BRowN's
IRON BITTERs, responded that is
good tonic, take it.

Explosion of a Magazine at Iron
Mountain,

Tuesday afternoon at about half-past 2
O'Clock, the people of Ironton were startled
by shock that shook the houses and ratified
the windows, like unto an earthquake. 1t
was ut first thought to be heavy blast on
Pilot Knob or Shepherd Mountain, but in
quiry showed that it was still further away.
Inquiry by telegraph developed the fact that
a magazine in the southeast mine at Iron
Mountain, containing $50 pounds of dyna-
mite, had exploded, killing James Dolan, 4
boy fifteen years old, and painfully but not
seriously injuring two or three other persons
a mule was killed by flying ore, and an en-
gine-house partially demolished.
The force Of the explosion may be surmis-
ed from the fact that it shook the ground
here-seren miles away-as if 4 very heavy
blast had been let off in the mines but half a
mile distant.

The ClionianS.
CLIO.

Ed. ReOiStpr-1n your last issue notice a
short critique on the previous suggestions
that the next discussion of the Ciionian So
Henry VIII. the rock on which the EpisoO-
pal Church was founded?" II the writer
had waited until he had seen the admirable
summary of the "CliOnian" discussion at its
next meeting, as furnished by its able and
polished summariser, the gifted "S. G. F."
and also published in your last issue, he
would have seen that the "Clionian, )" though
it may Suggest n jest" now and then, gets
down to solid work in its serious moods
in fact, always when real honest learning
arc its purpose, as it generally is.
In the brief and succinct summary OF its
work, as noted in your last issue, is this:
"The character of Henry VIII. being the
topic, Prof. Ebaugh presented 1t in all fits
different phases. Whatever may have been
the outgrowth of Henry's breach with Rome,
he certainly was not reformcr in either
faith or practice"
Prof. Ebaugh has truly stated, and its
learned President, i'm these few words, truly
grasped the central characteristics OF that
''princc of contradictions" Henry VIII.
That he cared no more for Rome when he
was vchemently defending it in his younger
days, than he did for reforming the Church
for the sake Of reform, afterwards, is certain.
That his real motive for the breach with
Rome was to relieve himself from the re-
straints which the Pope was trying to excr-
else over him, to limit his propensity for
much marrying and other immoralities, is
also certain.
But when the jurisdiction of Rome over
the Church in England was once repudiated,
and the connection broken by the strong,
though wicked, Henry, the Church, which
had been existing there sinca the apostolic
age, was able to assert its independence of
Rome, and attempt at least to reform itself.
There was no starting ae,o church. More
than 10000 Of the clergy or priests and Bsh :
ops, who were in orders prior to Tenry's
rupture with Rome, continued under the re-
formed rite. There was no break in the
continuity. The change consisted in (a) de-
nying the jurisdiction of Rome over the
Church in Great Britain, (b) in asserting its
independence of Rome, and (c) In throwing
off alleged abuses and corruptions.
That Henry was an aid to the Church in
England in its accomplishing this end, is
true. That he was also an incubus in some
respects, is also true. That he was the real
author of the Reformation, no historian will
now assert. His quarrel with the Pope was
the Church's opportunity was all.
decline to discuss whether this was right or
wrong. There would be no end to such a
discussion. TWAS Il rough era, and we need
not too closely scrutinlze the conduct Of eli
Their Pope or King.
1t is pity the public could not get more
frequent peeps into the learned historical
discussions of the "CliOnian."

Versus "Absurdem."

Ed. ReglSteF-I was somewhat diverted by
observing what Indignation and asperity
could be aroused by the simple query: "Was
Henry the VIII. the rock upon which the
Episcopal Church was founded:" Our poor
Clionian Society was remanded, mem. con-, to
the dense shades of ignorance for debating
such a subject, duly labeled Historical Abb
surdities." Now, is the query so very abb
surd when we deal with it simply as an his
torical fact, casting from us all religious
prejudice: Was not Henry the VIII. the
head and front of the Episcopal Church, or,
rs it was then called, the Church of England:
Did he not combine the spiritual with the
temporal power-deny the jurisdiction of the
Pope-act rs both Pope and King-superin-
tend and inspect the monasteries, and finally
uproot them-appoint all Bishops by royal
orders or letter patent? Did not these OBJ
| sequious Bishops, SO appointed, BY their in"
fluence and by the religious prejudice then
existing obtain an act of Parliament declaring
the bluff King "Hal" to be the only supreme
'head" on earth of the Church of England? !
And when it came to drawing up articles of
faith, who but Henry dictated what they
should contain? And when completed they
embraced neither the doctrines of the Cath
Ollie or Protestant churches, but were pure
ly the faith of Henry the VIII. The Kings
book, called the Erudition of q Christian
Man, was the standard Of orthodoxy, and he
who did not believe was guilty of treason,
and subject to the refined punishment, the
blazing stake. 1t Is true Henry did not say,
like Louis the XIV, 81 am the States Gener-
al" but he did assent and exercise the rights
of Church and State. When his rcligiOus( y
zeal inclined him toward the Protestants,
More went to the block; when the Catholic
humor was uppermOst, then the PrOtestants
had to carry fagotS, like Isaac of old, to heat
the flames Of their own sacrifice. These are
historical facts, not "absurdities." insist,
although l may be called absurd, that the
doctrines of the Episcopal Church did not
exist prior to Henry the VIII: and history
asserts that the faith of the Church was the
faith of Henry and that not another man be-
sides "Hal the Pious" could be found in
England honestly believing what the book of
faith contained at the time Henry promul-
gated it. Therefore I again PROFOUND the
query, Was not Henry the VIII. the rock upon
which the Episcopal Church was founded?
think this is not so ridiculous as the one
who writes over the nom de plume Of "Ab-
Surd" would have us imagine; certainly
not so absurd as to maintain that POntius
PLATE and Constantine were the crooks"
upon which the Christian religion is found
cd. If "Absurd" will give historical au-
| thority sufficient to convince an unprcjudic-
| cd mind of an error, instead Of doing what
| the Christian Church accuse Gibbon Of hav-
| ing done-hiding himself behind the bulwark
of n sneer-I will, like honest Sancho Panza,
pray God bless the giver, and meier look the
| gift horse I'm the mouth.
