THE NORTH AMERICAN REVIEW-June
Allen Ihor1dyke Rice, editor once OF PublI-
cation Nos East Fourteenth Street New ork
The reply of Colonel Ingersoll TO The
HOE W. E Gladstone occupies the FIRST
forty pages CT the North American for
June, and it is fair to suppose closes the
discussion as in every other instance
Mr.. Ingersoil has had the first and the
last word. The methods Of tee two dis
putants are 30 different that the path OF
the would he impair isl critic is hedged in
with ficuities. The grand old English
leader approaches his su ject with rever-
erce, and his methods have the dignified
seriousness he deems fitting for the dis,
cussion Of so grave 8 subjec as the relig-
icus beliefs OF mankind; while Colonel In
sersoll steps iSuntilY to the foo.-lights
and by glitterirg generalfties and arro-
CANT assumptions, clothed In sentences
sparkling with wit or incisive with SAT-
ca:m, tcsses back and forth the plaYthirg
ne hClds up fer the amusement of an ir-
reverent rabole. The brillixncY and beau
ty Of Mr.. Ingersoli's effort msy delude 3
super fetal tniI ker, but his opponents
methods will held the calm, clesr-visioned
Judgment Of all who feel that faith
which has sustained and sAnctifed philsc-
throp.c { tort for SO many ages, and hos
brought coursgs TO fsinting souls amid
over Shelmirg Sorrows deserves at least
respeciu treatment and that he who Is
simply an iconoclsst has done little for
humanity. II is time Mr.. Inger-
soil declared himself, If he would
not stapd before the world as
only 9 sec far,anc with no higher mission
il life than that OF sneering at the convic-
tons AID wounding the sensibilities CT
people who are certainly his equal IN in
diligence, snd to whom the main
sprirg of action is their faith In the
teachings OF Christianity.
With due respect to both Mr.. Gladstone
and MIR. Iugersoll, 1t would seem that
discussions like this are not in sympathy
with the times. The work Of Christian
teachers Of the present day is more direc
ted toward stimulating men to draw les
sons from the life OF the great Exemplar,
who went about doing good, and
never stayed Him in his way to au-
swer questions, idle or speculative, than
to indulge in wordy contests.
Fetichism In the campaign by John j.
Ingalls,, is full Of spite, 8 man whose Ut
tersnces here snd elsewhere justify the
belief that his heart is full Of all unchsr-
itableness z. e. Stoddard treats ans
lytically "Mathew Arnold as poet"
Iua paper, "Are Fast or SLOW G Ding
Steamers Safes :" the opinion of several
sea captains is given, and by majority
rule II would seem that swiftness with
proper precaution in 10 way imperils
safety. These are but few Of the topics
Of interest presented. The Review for
this month is strong number and will
not disappoint LIS readers.

The frontispiece, IAN Exile Party on
Muddy Road near TuimAp," prepares in
q measure for the portrayal by Nj. KIN
Ian Of the horrors of Siberian exile. The
claaking chains, the WORT, weary, sud
faces, the sick and in1rm In wagon, sll
tell tale OF deepest wretchednese, and
makes the sensitive soul shrink from the
pen pissures the write! SO wildly drsws.
II ia to be hoped that these iaG;s, given
by one who saw nucn, and yet ct much
he could not, will have tse effect OF
arousipg the attention OF the Christian
world to the brutslities OF 8 despotic
government, and may hasten the time
