Let us translate the title to mean the
religion that is in philosophy. DR..
ROYCE belongs to no church. He is a
philosopher. He has found consola-
ton in philosophy, and has tried in this
book to help others. GEORGE ELIOT
claimed that she was actuated by high
er motives after she had become bold
doubter than when she was a devoted
believer. DR.. ROYCE says his books
relation to modern doubt is neither that
of blind obedience nor of unsympa-
thetic rejection. 1t is book for stu
dents only.

ALetter from General Grant.

N AsCttCA AiChk NfOAOAt& ~ e'&NN'
1t will be seen from the following that
the Confederate veterans in CaliforniS
favor placing General GRANT on the
retired list, and that the General him'
self is not only in favor Of the old SOL
diers of the two sections fraternizing,
but hopes their example will be fol-
lowed by all the people Of this country
FRESNO, CAL, February 9.-The
Fresno Camp Of Blue and Gray Vete-
rams recently passed resolutions favor
ing the placing Of General Grant on the
retired list. A copy of the resolutions
was sent to him, and the Camp has re-
ceived the following letter from the
General in response
NEW YORK, January %.
Captain II. S. Diron, Commanding the
Fresno Camp of Blue and Gray
Veterans.
Dear Captain,-I am in receipt of
your letter of the 10Th instant inclos-
ing resolutions passed by the Camp of
your command favoring my retirement,
and wish to express my appreciation of
it. Coming as it does from an associa-
ton composed of veterans of both
armies in the great sectional contest,
the compliment is greater. / hope the
fraternity practiced by the veterans of
Fresno may be patterned after by all
the citizens of our country before many
years roll over.
Very truly yours, U. S. GRANT.

How FAR Congress is removed from
the people, and how We are following
in the footsteps Of European nations
was proved in Washington on Monday
when that body ordered whole gallery
Of the House Of Representatives to %
kept for the use Of their families on the
2lst instant. We should like to see
State Legislature undertake to do such
q thing. The galleries Of the House Of
Representatives belong to the public.
Congress has the power but not the
right to appropriate them to its own
use.
Who will get into the House of Re-
representatives. on the 2lst? Hardly enc
person except those having tickets from
congressman. Not only has Congress
set apart whole gallery for the use OF
their own families, but each congress-
man has three tickets OF admission 10
the hall of the House besides his own
ticket. There are 40l congressman. 1t
will require 1,6O4 seats to accommodate
our masters and their pets, and there
are not so many seats in the House Of
Representatives. How many of "the
people" will get seats? None, or next
to none.

To 0FFIcE-SEEKERs.-Colonel La
MONT, Mr.. CLEvELAND's private sec.
rotary, told yesterday a reporter for
the New York World that one thing
had been determined upon by Mr..
CLEVELAND, and that is he will con.
slider no applications for such appoint
ments as come within the power Of the
Executive except after they have been
considered by the member Of the Cabi-
net in whose department they fall. This
rule will be imperative, and viii be en-
forced on all occasions.
So the Postmaster General will APP
point all the postmasters, the Attorney
General all the officers Of the Depart
ment Of Justice, the Secretary of the
Treasury Gil the collectors Of customs
and internal revenue, &C., &c.
We don't blame Mr.. CLEVELAND
for getting rid Of such work.

aprofessor = E. G. Johnson, a mes
mcrist. was recently engaged Ut Hagar,
Campbell & Co.'s Dime Museum. He
left this city for Buffalo on the 8 o'clock
train last night, and one hour later four
young men appealed to Night-Clerk
Dunn ct the Central station for war;
rant for his arrest. They had been en-
ployed by him, thcr said, to set as
.. subjects.', Their duties consisted Of
sitting in the audience and acting as
" volunteers when called on by the
mesmerist.
"We are only four Of twelve SUBJ
jects employed by Johnson" said the
spokesman of the party, " and he owes
us all sums ranging from "a to sl9.
We were drilled by him, and We didn't
have such a snap as people thought.
We were obliged to laugh, sing, go to
sleep, clap our hands. or stand on our
heads, as we were ordered to do. In
short, we were obliged to do anything
% show that we were Under the infiu-
ence Of his power.
"He owes me sl5," broke in Harry
Burkhart, another Of the alleged VIC
tins, "and I haven't cent to pay for
lodging or a mouthful to eat. Look at
my ear. Do you see those little red
marks all around the rim? Well, l
acted as the guy who had his ear sewed
up while / was supposed to be under
the influence of mesmerism. 1t hurt,
of course, but had to do something to
make living. Then | had to lie on
the floor while he jumped on me and
slapped me in the face. Why, | ache
all over, and here am without cent
for my pains"
The sufferers said they had followed
the mesmerist from the Museum on Sat-
urday night with the intention Of fore
ing payment, but that he had eluded
them at Twelfth and Race streets and
had made his escape. Officer Dunn
said he was unable to afford them any
relief, and advised them to consult a
magistrate to-day.

We were pleased to see in the Wash
ington Post Of yesterday the following
at will be somewhat difficult to re-
concile good many Democrats in this
country to any Cabinet in which Mr..
Thurman, Of Ohio, has no seat"
He is, indeed, what he has so often
been styled" the noblest Roman OF
them ALL" If Virginia is not to have
place in the Cabinet, surely she ought
to be allowed to have there her Ohio
son. The railroad monopolists are his
only enemies.
