INGERSOLL'S LECTURE.
Orthodoxy" or Something Wrong in
Christian Theology.


Christian Theology,
The Grand was packed full last evening to
hear Bob in his new lecture ON Orthodoxy"
1t was highly intellectual audience, and it
was evident that there had been good deal
of running away from prayer meeting and
Bob had to say. He served some tough hits
at the old and the New Testament,
both of which he considered
were written without divine inspiration, and
were founded on miracles used to back up
frauds, and in which there were no demon
strated truths. He got in some three base
runs on the clergy of all denominations who
didn't dare speak their honest thoughts as he
did, born of his brain and heart, and who re-
garded him with envy because
he was such q free lance
Orthodoxy was founded on superstition
and fear, but tre old stage coach of the su-
pernatural was being superseded by the loco
motive of free thought and Orthodoxy" was
dying of softening of brain of the brain and
ossification of the heart. Teachers were
what were needed now to learn man to rely
on himself instead of on an imaginary in
nise being.
lie waded down in neatly turned senten-
ces through all the creeds of the churches,
spicing his remarks with his peculiar witt
cism, and criticised the theory of the atone
ment with merciless tongue. When he
spoke of Gods protection of His own people
he brought down the house with whirlwind
of laughter. When he state dthat lightning
lately struck tse 7. NJ. c. association rooms
en- Washington, in which the speakers
fficc is located, as demonstrating the poor
workmanship Of Divine vengeance. Nature
was the great averager of death in this world,
whether by disease or accident, and PRAYER
could not and did not alter the figures. The
garien of Eden and the first parents were
touched upon and designated as the capture
by God OF the human race in the cradle, and
the common sense of this history severely
animadverted on. He never wanted to be a
selfish winged pauper in the heavenly aims
house with his family anu friends
located among the goats. His allusion to
human love as giving man desire for i'm
mortality and the scripture theory Of separa-
ton of families after death, was a strong
point made; his rejection of the doctrine
that the Jews would cruelty Christ, knowing
him to be the king over death of another,
and his assertions that if the Bible was true,
Franklin, jefferson, Lincoln, Gar
rison, Longfellow, Emerson, Sumner,
Humbolt, Burns, Dickens, Shakes
peare, Wagner, Darwin and many
other noted men were now in the prison
house of God was a hard thought to touch
upon.
He closed with tribute tohuman love and
love of home that was full Of elO9uence and
pathos, and his preference for 3 cool grave
aud endless sleep rather than an eternity of
parting and punishment Of eternal pain
for those be loved deeply, impressed his
audience.

A resolution OF thanks to the chairman

the reading clerks had read the resolution he
proceeded, very properly, to relieve the chair
of being obliged to put the motion, by put

moved to amend by including the reading

the amendment to vote separately and again

cred sixteen barrels OF manure. Most
OF this I put on q small vegetable gar
den in q sandy spot from which the top
soil was dug away three years ago five
feet deep. The soil was very sandy and
light in color. As it lay in front Of the
chicken-yard most of the manure has
been put on this sandy spot and dug in
quite deeply. The soil for q. foot in
depth is now as dark as q Western
prairie soil, and rich, deep brown in
color. A few rows of strawberries were
covered with the fresh poultry manure
in the winter. Neighbors said it would
kill the strawberry plants dead as

but stand up with an extraordinary
growth, and to-day april 28) I find one

The effect over COW and calf manure is
very great. I find this manure also to
be grand for onions. For potatoes it is
not good, as it encourages scab in a
most remarkable degree, which is be-
cause the wire worms harbor in it SO
numerously. Or do the fowls pick up

horse had been trained BY ono 81 their
number, who had been an old circus
performer, and had been taught, when
sent away from home without n
breakfast, to dash off with the victim as
he had done with me. This was done
to avoid any bloody scenes near the
highway. But the victim was not al
ways taken to their cavernous retreat.
When q prize was expected some OF the
gang stationed themselves along in the
woods between the two streams, ready
to stop the horse and dispatch the en-
trapped traveller; but I was assured that
it I had been taken across the first
brook I should have met mydeath very
quickly afterward. They had no ac-
complice at the inn. When the traveller
was Spotted" either at Clayville or
hometown, one of their number was
sent to look out for said travellers horse,
who, by careful management, had little
difficulty in administering a sickening
dose to the animal.
The rascals were tried, condemned
and executed, and I retained possession
of the trained horse, but I did not keep
him long. One bright morning I
missed him from the stable, and all
search for him was in vain. It is posi-

How Watch Cases are Made.

In 1875, thirteen men comprised the
entire working force used in the manu-
facture of the James Boss Gold Watch Case.
Now over foe hundred are employed, and the
number is constantly increasing. The rea-
son of this increase is this: In the james
Boss Gold Watch Case all the metalin sight
and subjectto wear is solid gold, while the re-
mainder, which only lends strength to the
case, is of stronger metal than gold,
giving gold where gold is needed, and
strong, elastic metal where strength and
elasticity are needed, a combination pro-
ducing a watch case better than solid gold
and at oNE-HALF the cost. 10y MAO.
Over 200, 900 of these cases K x
have been sold, and every jeweler in the
country can testify to their quality and
merit. ~.

Frank d. Curtis, in his address be-
fore the New York State Agricultural
Society, said several coed things in re-
gard to farmers homes, but none more
to the point than the following: "A
house on q hill, with no trees around
it, looks cherries and unhomelike.
Have grounds around the dwelling.
Tear away the fences; they cost money
and are useless. Imean fences shutting
the house up as if there was danger Of
its running away. Let there be not less
than an acre of docryard; ten will be
better. Make q rich lawn of this, and
cut the grass. It can be no waste, but
it will be thing Of beauty; and a thing
Of beauty is q JOY forever. There need
not be any loss to be tasteful; nature
and beauty are synonymous; good taste
and economy can therefore be made
handmaids to each other. Set your
fruit trees in this enclosure and dig
around them with q spade each year,
and topdress the whole, and the trees
will grow finely, and the grass will grow
luxuriantly, and the house will grow
beautiful, the children will grow CON
tended, the fathers and mothers as they
grow old will grow happy, the neigh
bors will grow to emulate and excel,
the township will grow attractive, and
the young men and the young women
will grow up to feel that there is no.

Profitable Farming.

4 The farmer who has a thorough
~tile-drained farm has entire control of
it the season through. He can begin
work as soon as the frost is out of the
ground. He has plenty of time to sub
soil his land, and by repeated blowing
and narrowing to reduce it to the con
dition of a garden. His crops are put
in early, they get a timely and vigorous
start, outstrip the weeds if the latter
are permitted to grow at all, and in
sects make less impression on them. If
the summer is wet, the surplus water
is held like a sponge in the deep, mel
low soil, or is carried off in the tile
drains. If a severe drought occurs, the
same deep soil holds enough moisture
for the growing crop. Timely and re-
peated cultivation keeps the weeds
under and promotes growth. With
such land and such management, the
owner is in a great Measure independ-
ent of the wet and dry seasons; he has
heavy crops every year. There are of
course certain adjuncts which are care
fully attended to, as, for example, the
saving and manufacture of manure, it's
timely spreading and thorough inter-
mixture with the soil; a well digested
rotation; collaborating implements;
and clean and comfortable quarters
and regular feeding for all domestic
animals.-[Couutry Gentleman.

Leaving Money in Old Clothes.
[From the Cleveland Leader.j

Quite a sensation was created at q
tailoring establishments Spruce Street
Saturday night by well dressed gentle
man, probably thirty-6ve years Of age,
who excitedly inquired for a suit of
clothes he had left at the store in the
afternoon. He had purchased q suit of
clothing and donned the new garments,
in=tructing the tailor to send the old ones
to his residence. The clothes were
brought forth, and hastily opening the
bundle he took from an inside vest
pocket a pocket-book %containinga pack
age of bills to the amount of several
hundred dollars, and a number of val1-
able papers. II did not miss the
money" he said, displaying the roll.
until a few minutes ago, and thought
I had lost it. Thinking that it might
have fallen from m ypocket in the dress
ing-room I started for this place on q
run with a faint hope of finding the
money. and as you see I was success
full"
DO many cases of this kind occur in
the city," was asked the proprietor of
the store.
eyes, we are called upon quite fire.
quently by men who lose money in this
way" was the response. 1T does not
often happen that such a large amount
of money is involved, however. One in
stance of the kind that I remember oc-
Cured about six months ago. I was
running astore then on St. Clair. Street,
and u dressing-room, which was
located under a flight of stairs, was dark
even in the daytime. One evening q
man who had bought q suit of clothes
in the morning of that day came into
the store, and without speaking to any
one, rushed to the dressing-room. One
of the clerks who followed found him
on his knees searching for something.
The man said he had lost q pocket-book
containing nearly 1926. When a light
was brought the pocket-book and it's
contents were found behind the door,
where they had fallen when he changed
his clothes. There had been probably
fifty men in the room during the day,
but owing to tho darkness the wealth
remained undiscovered until found by
its owner"
Another tailor spoken to on the SUBJ
ject said that men quite frequently lose
money or valuables under these circum-
stances, the value of the property some
times being very large. In many cases
the owners, after becoming greatly ex-
cited, thinking that the money has been
lost, find it in one of the pockets of the
cast-Of clothes. ~
