Petss Cooper's Religion,


A correspondent OF the Chicago Tri-
bune says that in talk with Peter
Cooper !. short time ago the venerable
philanthropist told hiia of the following
incident: have just had a curious
caller--an Episcopal Bishop, who came
to see it would not jsin some evan
gelical church, so that when | came to
die nobody should say that the Cooper
Uniouwas enthusiastically an atheist or
intidei. told him was not an atheist
or infael; / was a Unitarian in belief;
knew no object of Worship except the
one living and true Gsd and / consid-
cred religion nothing more nor less tltan
/; scieace by which the movements of
the material and moral world could be
regulated and that j knew no better
teacher than the opinions of mankiRd.
He politely said that he perceived that
I was scholar. This compliment i
was obliged to decline, and / told hiaa i
had, never been to school more than
threeo four months in all my life. .If

the human race, the most depraged

Every passing year adds TO the difficult

OF the rags and the concentration OF
their strength is made more perfect

There has been common impression
in this country that contracts made on
a Sunday are not legally binding. Uhis
may, be law, but certainly is not eqaity,
and the Supreme Coart of Illinois, in a
recent case, has just decided that aeon
tract made on Sunday is just as binding
as ifentered into op any other day.
The pretense that Sunday is not a day
in law has occasionally been made use
of in the past to subserve some purpose
of petty roguery, and it is well that even
the pretense is now finally abolished.
