WHAT HE'LL Is.-"What People
Do in He'll" sermon by the Rev.
Jabez Fox, was read before the
Swedenborgians at their morning
service yesterday. According to
Mr.. Fox, hell is an organized socie-
ty, having laws, and officers, aud
divided into separate communities
or states, as the kingdoms of the
men in this world are. He says:
"And we know hell must abound
with shrewd, cunning, scheming
men, who would form governments
for their own interest aud aggran
dizement. Then if one joins him
self at last to some society OF devils
in one of the hellS, it is from choice.
Aud the Lord finally permits it be-
cause, with the character he has
formed by his evil life in the world,
it is better for such one to be with
his like. He would be more miser.
able to live among the angels. 1t
is true, the life of an evil spirit in
his own world is, in comparison
with heaven, most wretched and
miserable and full OF pains aud tor
menls; but it is the best OF which
the evil spirits are capable. In the
true light of heaven, the state of
the lost appears rs it really is; and
thus il looks just as low and sordid,
aud dreadful, and painful, and
hopeless as it really is; and the
evil spirits looks as mean, foul, base
and deformed as they truely are.
Iu hell every one acts from the love
OF self; and SO every one antago-
nizes each other, aud would do
harm rather than good, if an exter-
nal force did not prevent. So hell
is governed by force, aud evils are
violently represSed. Ii they we're
not, society would be utterly de-
stroyed. To compel unwilling obe-
dience, terrible punishments are in
flicted, and the most vindictive cru
city is shown. The evil spirits are
as busy as men in this world are,
and there is active, social life, and
a very ancient aristocracy, and in
all this ambitions aud jealousies
and rivalries beyond what we had
any idea OF, and chickering's and
contentious, and never any peace,
rest aud security. The people there
are the bad from this world, with
all their evil aggravated and let
loose; aud it is easy to see how
they can make perfect hell.'-Mit-
icdukee Sentinel.

The Yale-Harvard Match.

BosToN, Nov 2O-The intercollegiate cham
pionship foot ball game at Cambridge. between
Yale and Harvard to-day, was won by Yale by
score of 80 to 4. Fully seven thousand persons
were present. While it was plain from the start
that Harvard was overmatched. yet the contest
was at all times exciting from its very stubborn
ness Brilliant plays were numerous. Yale's
rushing and general field was very fne Harvard
scored her four points on a touchdown, and
Yale's points were made in four goals from touch
downs, and goal from the field. In Goth
halves of the contest it seemed as If
the Harvard men had chance to get
through Yale's line, but Holden, by fine run
on the last half scored touchdown for Har-
ward, amid great cheering. The followers of
Yale had waeered great deal of money that
Harvard would not score point in the match
The best work for Yale was done by Watkinson,
Beech, Gill and Corbin, and for Harvard by
Holden, Dudley, Fletcher, Butler Boyden and
Sears. The game was stopped several times on
account of accidents. and several men we're pref
ty we'll bruised. Holden. who did most of the
work for Harvard, was carried off the field at
the end of the match severely wrenched and
bruised. To-days was the best showing Har-
ward has made against Yale for several years.

The Bureau of Ordnance.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-Commodore Mont
gomery Sicard. Chief of the Bureau Of Ordnance,
in his annual report to the Secretary of the
Navy, says that during the year a number of the
six-inch high power steel guns have been fin
shed and fred at the naval ordnance proving
ground They have all endured proof in very
satisfactory manner and over 1000 feet muzzle
velocity was readily obtained with standard pow
der and projectile and moderate chamber pres
sures. Work on smaller guns and gun parts
and machinery is reported as having progressed
satisfactorily.
Under the head of projectiles, Commodore
Sicard comments upon the unsuitable character
of cast iron as material for projectiles intended
to be used in high power guns, and the failure
of steel-makers to supply unhammered cast
steel shells of good quality. Under the head OF
machine guns and cannon: the report notes the
tendency abroad to increase the caliber of such
cannon. and the opinion is expressed that pieces
throwing projectiies of twenty and thirty pounds
will soon be perfected. Cartridges for Hotch-
kiss guns have been produeed in this country,
which perform better than those abroad.
Touching the armament of the new vessels,
Commodore Sicard says: For the new ships
preaching completion we have eighteen six inch
and three eightnch and two fve-inch guns fin
ished. and three sixnch and five eight-lnch well
advanced, together with all the carriages for the
Atlanta and Boston, and all for the Chicago ex-
cept the eight-inch All the gans of the second
airy batteries and nearly all the small arms have
been provided, and all the electric search lights
| and appendages. The mounts for the secondary
batteries being pressed; most of the pow
