He Declares that Col. IngefSOll Doesn't
Believe q Word He Says Against
Christianity.
NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-At o meeting of Baptist
pastors to-day, the Rev. DR.. Morse, of Brooklyn,
said he had it on good authority that Col. Robert

knowing that the income from his business would
not tide him over his trouble he hit upon the plan
Of lecturtng against Christianity as the thing
most likely TO pay. He had made money, the
speaker continued, and had thus saved himself
and his family from disgrace

Diamonds that are sold below the usual market
rates are not in most cases, smuggled. The expla-
nation Is that about OF the precious stones

picks up valuable gem to swallow II. and thereis
no dfniculty In subsequently dispostng OF it.
There are dishonest traders always hanging
about the diggings, who make business OF
buying diamonds cheap from thieves. Dia-
hazardous. II is said to be almost impossible to
get valuable lot into the country without paying
duty upon them. Every conceivable method has
Jewels instead OF powder. But the revenue
