The New Hell.

st. John saw new heaven and q
new earth, and the old heaven and
the old earth had passed away.
But it has been reserved for mod
ern st. George to rend the vail of
the future and discover to us the
new hell. St. George Mivart is not
visionary enthusiast. spiritualist
or dreamer. He is a scientist, one
of the most eminent in the world,
and he is devout Catholic. Now
the Catholic Church has always
been supposed to entertain a belief
in regard to a future state, by no
means illiberal, but certainly very
decided. And we have always sup
posed that the Catholic idea of He'll
was that of a place of endless tor
ment, in which the least degree of
happiness, positive or negative could
not enter.
Mr.. Mivart, however, reasons that
He'll is not necessarily a place OF
torment. 1t is only place pre-
pared by God from all eternity, for
all those who are not fit and can
not be made fit to go to Heaven.
There are some souls, he says, who
are so circumstanced, SO enviroued
in this life that they are not able to
prepare themselves for the Beatific
vision, the boundless Glory of
Heaven. To them, Heaven would
not be Heaven. They have not
any of the attributes of saintship,
but enslaved as they have been by
sin in this life, Mr.. Mivart does not
believe that a just God would con-
demn them to active, unending tor
ment. He'll, even of the positively
damned, may yet be to many souls
an abode OF happiness greater than
they have ever enjoyed in this life.
And Mr.. Mivart says that it is not
possible for the most rigid theolo-
gian of his own church TO deny that
thus considered, there is and will
be for all eternity a real happiness
in He'll. Many fathers in the
church, he says, believe the same
doctrine he has SO boldly promul-
gated.
Be it understood that Mr.. Mi
vart is an antagonist not many the
ologians will care to tackle. He is
not skeptic nor an agnostic nor an
infidel, but Christian Believer.
But we fear that a good many
Christians will revolt at his doctrine.
If they revolt at it because it is
dangerous and liable to lead men
astray, they do well, but if they re-
volt because they love the idea that
wicked people will be plunged into
the burning lake, we think but lit
tie of their Christianity. = Wet=el

ALegaI incident.


A very bad and dishonest failure
had occurred, in which certain
trusted clerk seemed to have been
guilty of the large share of the
crime. He, with his employer, was
arrested and charged with thecrime.
The clerk stoutly protested his in
noeence and denied all knowledge
of the fraud or any connection with
his employer.
However. there was chain of
circumstantial evidence woven
around him which his counsel
could not break down. The clerk
was convicted and sent to jail for a
term of years.
After being confined in prison for
about a year the poor fellows mind
began to weaken, and finally he
broke down completely. He was
taken from prison and transferred
to hospital for the insane. an
the time he continued to protest
his innocence. After he had been
confined in the hospital three or
four years, certain facts in the fail
ure were elected which clearly
proved that he was entirely inno-
cent of having committed any crime.
OF course steps were Immediately
taken to secure the pardon of the
man; and an order was given for
his immediate release.
1t now became the delicate duty
of the counsel in the case to break
the happy intelligence to the pard-
oned clerk. After consultation
between the counsel on both sides
of the case, it was agreed TO call
upon the poor clerk aud make an
attemp to arouse him from the
apathy and lethargy into which he
had fallen. This they decided to
do by accusing him again of the
theft of the funds.
The parties to this strange drama
assembled in the room of the
stricken man. BE sat silent and
immovable, with his head in his
hands. AS the old and ever rank
ling charge of dishonesty fell upon
his ears the effect was exactly that
which had been foreseen and ex-
pected. He slowly raised his head.
Looking his pseudo accuser straight
ing the eye he replied in a loud
tone of voice, with a rising infiec-
tion and with great energy;
at is Iiel"
The critical moment had come.
The lawyer who had prosecuted
him and secured his incarceration
then stepped up to him and said:
"You are right. 1t is a lie, and
you stand before the community
vindicated man. 1 have the order
for your release in my hand"
Then the lawyers stood off TO
watch the effect, hoping that II
joy at the prospect of release d
vindication would have the efFee Of
putting the clerk again in his right
mind. But no sign of joy over
spread the mans features. His face
bore its usual stolid expression. 1t
seemed to have no apparent effect
upon him.
The clerk turned his face toward
the speaker, as if he did not under
stand him. Then his head fell for
ward and he was precipitated upon
the floor at the feet of the lawyers.
A single glance sufficed. He was
dead.

WHKEsBARRE, Pa, Nov. 2L-The lie
high Valley Railroad company Is slowly
gaining on the strikers, all reports to the
contrary Notwithstanding. Enough appli-
cants have already applied for positions to
hll every vacancy. The great trouble TO
the company is that they cannot utilize
the labor nc their command. The entire
service is demoralized, but the officials say
that IL viii take only "a short time to bring
order out of chaos. The indications are
that IL will take a very long Time One re-
markable thing about the contest IS that
while the company is gaining ground the
strikers are not losing any, as they still
maintain firm column
There have been but few desertions since
the strike began, and the strikers have
been able to add not a few nonunion men
TO their ranks. n. 4. Travis, an old non
union engineer, was assaulted while on his
way home. He had just completed his run
and left his engine at the roundhouse. In
a lonely part of the road he was struck on
the arm by large stone, which disabled
him for the time being.

ELMIRA, ~ Y, Nov. 24-The Lehigh
has certainly made substantial gains at
Sayre, and although the solution Of the
trouble has by no means been reached the
officers say they are entirely satisfied with
their days work. On the other hand, the
strikers remain just as firm and united as
ever and say they are certain TO win il the
other roads continue 20 refuse Lehigh
freight. The biggest excitement was a
fight between a striker and a scab, in
which the latter was badly stabbed with n
knife. The new man fed or he would
have been severely handled. Chief VIII
kins Of the engineers was in Sayre and
spoke at a meeting of the men, urging
them to refrain from violence and they
would win. Perhaps 30 Of the men have
been won over 10y the strikers and are be-
ing sent back to Buffalo.
