Colored Millionaires in Prospect.

The descendants of Benjamin Talbot,
lay claim to about $40 acres, covering the
central portion of the city OF Logansport
Ind. Talbot, while slave, settled at
Logansport, ffty-three years ago. He
bought from the government $40
acres of land and lived on it until the
passage of the fugative slave law, when
he abandoned his property and fed to
Canada. He never returned to claim it,
but often spoke of it to his children.
Not long ago one of them put the matter
into the hands of attorneys, who, upon
examination, found Talbot's title indis-
putable. It is said the Wabash and Elk
River railroads, with valuable buildings
on the Talbot ground, have already COM
promised. The entire property is esti-
mated to be worth several millions.
Four sons and two daughters are the
heirs.

What Kind of a He'll IsIt?

Can there be heaven without some
thing like hell? And if hell, what
kind of hell? People are too willing
now to talk vaguely about celestial bliss,
while putting out of thought internal mis-
cry. 1t has become hardly fair, hardly
courteous, hardly serious to allude to the
old antithesis to heaven. And vet. logi
cally, heaven of any kind necessarily i'm
plies hell of some kind 1t is preposter
Gus to think that good and bad, Dives and
Lazarus, those who have received good
things and those who have received evil
things, shall all share alike and be equally
and eternally rewarded. The whole moral
purpose Of future life would be perverted
if Nero and Borgia, Titus Oates and Ro-
bespierre were at once to enter into eternal
bliss along with their innocent victims.
For them and their like, and indeed for an
enormous majority of the miserable hui
man race, as described by theologians and
philosophers, there must be some kind of
hell. And if hell, what kind of hell, with
what kind of torments, and garrisoned and
ruled by what kind of beings? And are
the internal spirits to have chief and
what kind of a chief, with what attributes,
powers and limits; those imagined by
Dante or Milton, by Bunyan or by
Knox? And then ifa heaven or a hell. II
any kind of future happiness and future
condemnation, there must be a Judgment
and judge, and then an intercesscr, or a
mediator of some kind and so forth. Now
vast body of acute and gentle minds,
within the churches as much as W ithout
them, have in our days practically aban-
doned any definite and active belief in
hell, eternal torment, devil and the whole
machinery of the day of wrath and place
Of torment. And yet these things are
logical corollaries of any sort of celestial
bliss. The truth is that the great founders
of the Christian theology men as
Gregory and Augustine Aquinas and An
selm-were men of mighty intellect. and,
within their limits, OF profound philosophic
sagacity. The vast scheme of theodicy
which they built up out of the Bible and
the fathers was coherent aud organic
whole, logical within the range of its
premises and with the canons of thought
then current. 1t falls to pieces when great
central doctrines have tumbled down OF

smalls' Illustrative STORY.

Mr.. Smalls, the colored South Carroll.
nian who recently contested the election
of Representative Elliott, is capital
story teller. Some of his illustrations
are as original-and, indeed, smack yerv
much of the same favor-as those OF
Sam Jones, the Georgia preacher. One
day, not long ago. Mr.. Smalls was asked il
he did not think the Democrats of the
South were acting very friendly to the
negroes.
"There was one fellow named Eph
Johnson Mr.. Smalls replied, 'swho owned
flat-boat that he used to run on The
Savannah river. Eph was a dreadfully
wicked man, and the pious colored people
all along the river had about given up
their efforts to reform him. One Sunday
the bow of Eph's boat stuck fast on bar
not far from church where the colored
people were holding a revival meeting.
All efforts of Eph and his son to pole it of
were futile.
"s Boy, said Eph, you so obah to de
church an tell de niggahs dat Won dad has
got 'ligion, an dat he wants to hab a
prayer meetin' on de boat right away.
Run along now, chile.
I'm few minutes the colored people
came hurrying to the boat.
De prayer meetin'' said Eph, am
gwine ter be right dar on de stern.
The innocent people assembled at the
stern of the boot, and as they did so the
boat fioated free from the bar and swung
off into deep water.
90 Now, den, you id fool niggaph, said
Eph, git off'n dis boat es fases you kin
scrabble. Dey ant gwint ter be no pra'
meetin' heyar eff | kin hep it,"
With consummate storytelling skill
Mr.. Smalls left his audience to make its
own application, and walked away

the windows. Happy greetings and smil-
ing faces were seen everywhere. The

hideous by three cheers for Orange county

The band was heard upon the streets
early in the evening discoursing patriotic
music and followed by crowds of people,
which continued until late at night Cal
cium lights, torpedoes and skyrockets filled
the air with their varied hues, followed by
deafening reverberations. All this was fol-
lowed by banquets, speeches and other
species of coDgratulative demonstrations,
showing beyond doubt that everybody is
in sympathy with the Act, which all be-
lieve will create the new county of Orange
This new county, symmetrical and COM

THE CHINESE MISSION.
A Place that Colonel Grant and John f
swift Would Like.

WASHINGTON, March sth.-George W.
Childs. 4. J. Drexel, the Philadelphia
millionaire banker, Judge Paxon of the
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania and POST
master General Wanamaker walked into
President Harrison's private office this
afternoon, and after q warm exchange of
greetings settled down TO business. The
object of their visit was to urge the ap-
pointment of Colonel Fred Grant as
Minister TO China. They told the Pres
ident of Colonel Grants peculiar fitness for
the place, because he had visited China
once in company with his distinguished
father, and would be kindly remembered
by the people Of The Imperial Kingdom on
General Grants account.
Whether the President promised that the
Colonel should have the place, or not, is
unknown, but it is believed that bis
chances for the appointment are good.
Senator Stanford favors the appointment,
and this. Of course, prevents unity OF ac-
ton BY the California delegation in support
