luton opposed by Messrs. Smoot and Reid
was merely in the nature Of an inquiry.
Mr. Smoot said the speaker appeared tt
be at sea, aud he was surprised at his advG-
; eating the resolution, as from conversation
he had had with him few days ago, be
supposed they both were of the same opin-
ion in regard to the intentions of the owners
of the iron works. If Mr.. Strauss under.
stood the resolution as simply one of inquiry,
no other member of the board did, and he
renewed his motion to lay on the table,
which was seconded.
Mr.. Strauss demanded the ayes and noes,
which resulted: Ayes, Messrs. Moore, Her
bert, Marbury, Smoot, Reid and Mr. fresl'
! dent--6. No, Mr. Strauss.
The resolution appointing the conference
committee was subsequently concurred 10
and Messrs. Marbury and Moore appointed
on the same, and at about nine O'CLOCK the
board adjourned.
COMMON COUNCIL.
The regular meeting of this board opened
with more than o quorum, soon after the
usual hour, last night.
When Aldermen's resolution for new
tagging on the north side of King street,
across Union street, came up,
Mr.. Lambert said that crossing was
broken, but could be repaired, and that
Mr.. Flemming's pavement is three or four
inches below the curb-stone, and if the
crossing is relaid the pavement there should
first be raised. AS it is now, two inches of
water sometimes covers the sidewalk there.
The whole matter was referred TO the
Committee on Streets.
Although considerable business was trans
acted, there was no discussion. Some sur
prise was expressed by several members at
the action of the Board of Aldermen in re-
fusng to take the preliminary steps towards
Withdrawing the grants heretofore made the

AFTER years of what is called the
"religion Of humanity" the Rev. 0.
B. rockingham gave up his patched
creed and decided that he had accom-
plished nothing. Mr.. Underwood is
engaged in much the same business.
He is spending great deal of time
in making himself generally useless.
A lecture of the sort he delivers ac-
complishes no good. 1t simply un-
settles weak people. 1t is made up of
the old generalities and the old con-
tradictions. 1t is simply the seed of
a spiritual uneasiness. Mr.. Under.
wood can prove nothing. He can on
ly take the weaknesses of orthodoxy
and by attacking them, destroy what
peace there is in it for people who do
not care for the refnements of the ip-
norance on a great topic which he
gives them. 1t is not a good business
for any man to be in. Mr.. Under
wood is more to be respected than
Ingersoll, because he has more brains
and is not as coarse. But it is to be
deprecated that he is engaged in his
present business. He should not
strive to tell people what he does not
know himself. He should not use the
tricks of thought to capture the men
who never think. He should not put
chance sentences into mouths that
have no connection with brain. We
can conceive of nothing more horrible
than the lecture of an infdel. Dan
gerous disbelief has an odd fascina-
ton for fools, and they go wandering
down "the dim and perilous way,".
with no guide of knowledge or rea-
son. lnhdellty IN ignorance results
only in soggy blasphemy. Most
people are ignorant, and therefore
man who simply objects, but who has
no remedy, should keep his objections
to himself. He cannot teach intelli-
gence, and he can only unsettle ig-
norance. The latter ambition is not
a large one.-Denver News.

Bob INGERsoLL rehashed his old
lecture once more and delivered it
Friday night at Kansas City, at net
profit of $1,000. He has put some
new features into it, and cut out some
of the best portions. As usual his
tribute to what is good fell upon ears
of lead, but fouts, jeers and filings at
religion were greeted with great ap-
plause. From what Bob says of mod
ern preachers we guess he has no
personal acquaintance among them.
