And trade in all lines has been good in
Columbus, and especially so with
Thomas A Prescott, Fashionable
Clothiers, who have during the season
disposed of an immense lot of goods,
but who, with a view to providing
against, the intensely cold weather ex
pected in January and February, have
heavily replenished their stock of
ready-made Clothing, Gents' Furnish
ing Goods, Underwear, &c., Ac. As we
have said, these gentlemen have done a
big business, and deserve a large share
of public patronage. They keep splen
did stocks, sell at remarkably low
prices, and never fail to please. If you
want to feel comfortable and look well
during the remaining cold months, do
not fail to call on Thomas A Prescott,
at their new store, between Abbott A
Newsom and John MeGougli A Co.
Frllrr'* French Bakery.
This new enterprise, we are glad to
notice, lias met a generous patronage
during the past week. The place lias
been crowded daily, and persons who
have purchased their supplies of Bread,
Cakes, Confectionery and Toys there
have expressed themselves as highly
pleased with goods and prices. Feiler
is fast establishing himself in the con
fidence of our people, and, though he
lias been in business here but a short
time, is already driving a good busi
ness. The people of Columbus and
vicinity are always ready to appreciate
and patronize those who deserve suc

Feiler’s French Bakery will soon be
come one of the most popular resorts

llww I lie Companies Drew a VYatcli.
The managers of the festival gift
enterprise gave to the members of the
companies from live to twenty-live
tickets each to he sold—all unsold to be
returned the day of the drawing.
Among others Mr. Louis Wells was
given twenty-live, numbering 401 to
425. Yesterday the managers called on
Mr. Wells with all the others who had
sold, for a settlement, when he reported
he had sold only eleven and had forgot
ten to return the balance. He paid over
five dollars and fifty cents and returned
the fourteen unsold tickets. Among
them was found 424. which was the
number that drew the gold watch
valued at 8550. The watch of course
was drawn by the companies, as the
ticket that drew it was unsold. It all
shows there's aheap in luck. Why did
not buyers think of 424? They might
have known it would have been lucky.
We understand that a grand military
hop is contemplated for some night
this week, and as the companies have
no use for the watch, would it not be a
good idia to sell tickets, and as each
person enters the room to deposit a
coupon in a box. and during the even

Painful.
Yesterday a gentleman received an
India rubber finger, which is intended
to and does represent a finger of flesh
and bone that has been severely mashed.
This gentleman being fond of “catch
ing” people could not forego the fun of
laughing at the expense of others. He
attached this imitation to his hand and
went in search of physicians to ask their
aid in relieving him. Each and every
doctor to whom lie went groaned with
sympathy, when they beheld the crush
ed limb. One proposed to cut it oft’,
another to apply an external remedy
and still another to inject morphine.
One of them swore that “every bone in
it" was broken and that lie was maimed
for life. He met a prominent Granger,
who poured cold water on it one half
hour. Just imagine the feelings of these
as well as many more when the “true
inwardness” was exposed. Some grew
belligerent and had to be held from the
joker.
He Couldn't Find the Powloftlee,
A certain dry goods merchant cm-
ploped a clerk, from the country, who
had never lived in the city before. The
first day lie was told to go to the post-
office, and oil' he went, not know ing
which way to start. After wandering
aroung for sometime he asked a negro
if he knew where the postofflee was.
The colored “gemen” halted for a mo
ment, and eying him curiously for a
while, said: “Umpli, jist wish I had
as many dollars as I know wliar de
pose offis is.” After saying this the
colored brother walked on without
giving the gentleman from the rural
districts the desired information. He
supposed the man was only trying to
see if he knew and did not want any
information at all. The office was
found at last and the mail delivered to
the boss. Had not a gentleman over
heard the negro, it would possibly
never have baen known.

DEAN STANLEY ON HELL.
London Cablegram to the Sew York Herald,
December 24/A]
Dean Stanley preached a long and
eloquent sermon to a large congrega
tion at Westminster yesterday. The
sermon is likely to attract a good
deal of attention here and perhaps to
create controversy. The views ex
pressed were, in fact, as broad as
those of Beecher or Frothiugham,
and will draw down on the dean the
first of all the rigid and strait-laced
dogmatists in the English church,
who raise the cry of “infidelity” at
even,” expression which savers of lib
eralism in religion.
In the course of the sermon Dean
Stanley said: “All goodness belongs
to Christ, regardless of creed or
church. Christ’s cross is everywhere.
It belongs to no sect, and the true
church knows no Turkey, no Russia.”
These are but a few specimens of the
liberal ideas expressed by the eloquent
preacher, and his sermon throughout
was full of expressions calculated to
provoke hostile comment on the part
of the champions of orthordoxy..
CANON EARRAIt ON HELL.
Canon Farrar, the distinguished
English preacher, recently said in
Westminster Abbey: “Having quo
ted from the Bible the words ‘hell,’
‘damnation’, ‘everlasting,’ I say
udhesitatingly, I say with fullest
right to speak, and with the
necessary knowledge; I say with the
calmest and most unflinching sense
of responsibility, standing here in
the 'sight of Got! and our Saviour,
and it may be of the angels and spir
its of the dead, that not one of these
words ought to stand any longer in
our English Bible; and that, being in
our present acceptation of them sim
ply mistranslations, they most un
questionably will not stand in the
revised version of the Bible, if the
revisers have understood their duty.”
Having pointed out that there are
in the main three classes of men—
saints, reprobates and that vast inter
mediate state lying between, yet
shading oft’ by infinite gradations
from these two extremes—Canon
Farrar, after, in an eloquent passage,
thanking God for the first class asked:
What of the reprobates ? What of the
other extreme ? If you ask me
whether I must not believe in endless
torments for these reprobates of earth,
I answer, aye for them and for thee,
and forme too, until we have learned
with all our hearts to love good and
not evil. I know that for these rep
robates Christ died. The bigot may
judge their souls if he will; the Phar
isee may consign them,with orthodox
equanimity, to endless torments; hut
I cannot—will not. Not mine, at any
rate, shall it be to close against them,
with impetuous recoil and jarring
sound, those gates of hell lest they
should be more justly closed upon
me; but I commend them with
humblest hope even after this life of
hopelessness, to Him who did not
loathe the whiteness of the leper, and
who suffered the woman who was a
sinner to wash His feet with tears.
God’s Spirit lias nowhere taught us
that He who gave cannot give back;
that He who once made them inno
cent children cannot restore their
innocence again; that He who created
them—He who wills them to be saved
—cannot recreate them in His own
image, cannot obliterate all their
vileness in the blood of Christ,
and increate their sins. But the
vast mass of mankind belong
to the third class. They are not
utter reprobates, they are not perfect
saints. They try to face both ways.
They halt between two opinions.
The angel has them by the hand and
the serpent by the heart. And it is
those who do try to he God’s chil
dren who realize their own excessive
sinfulness. Having shown how
many of the saintliest and tenderest
souls had been driven over to mad
ness, as Cowper was, by the false
view of God which is given by the
pitiless anathemas of man, Canon
Farrar asked his hearers if, when
they buried relatives or friends who
had not been holy or religious, they
dared consign them, even in their
thoughts, to the unending anguish of
the popular creed they taught ? An
arbitrary infliction of burning tor
ment, nil endless agony, a material
hell of worm and flame, a (loom to
everlasting sin, and all this with no
prospect of amendment, with no
hope of relief, the soul’s transgres
sions of a few brief hours of strug
gling tempted life followed by
billions of millennium in scorching
tire, and all this meant not to correct,
but to harden, not to amend, hut to
torture and to degrade—did you be
lieve in that for any one whom you
have ever loved ? Again, I say,
God forbid! Again, J say, 1 fling
from me, with abhorrence such a
creed as that. Let every Pharisee
gnash his teeth as he will; let every
dogmatist anathematize ; but that I
cannot and do not believe. Scripture
will not let me; my conscience, my
reason, my faith in Christ, the voice
of the spirit within my soul, will not
let me ; God will not let me !
SHALL HELL BE OMITTED FROM TIIE
BIBLE.
X>'w York Sun.}
While the Congregationalists in
this country are discussing the ques
tion whether there is a hell or not,
Canon Farrar, of Westminster Abbey,
is agitating the Church of England by
declaring that the word ought to be
left out of the Bible altogether. He
would get rid not only of the word
hell, but also of the words damnation
and everlasting, as applied to punish
ment after death.
This is certainly a startling propo
sition, for no words in the Scriptures
have had more effect on sinners and
on religious creeds than these very
ones. The doctrine that everlasting
damnation will be the fate of the im
penitent and unbelieving has been
preached and taught forages. It has
been implicitly believed by millions
of Christians, and has disturbed the
peace of mind of other millions of
wicked men, not drawn into the fold
of the church. The dread of hell and
the desire to participate in the joys of
heaven have been among the most
powerful influences in bringing men
to seek refuge in the Christian faith.
They have made of religion some
thing which secures a practical gain
hereafter, and provides security
against an awful punishment, which
lasts through eternity. Even though
the devout believer suffered on earth,
he felt that his sorrows were utterly
insignificant, in comparison with the
anguish of the unredeemed gnashing
their teeth in the place of torment.
The thought of hell was as terrible to
him as the conception of celestial
companionship was delightful.
If, therefore, you expunge the
words-hell, damnation, and everlast
ing from the Bible, and substitute, as
Canon Farrar proposes, more agreea
ble terms, suggestive of limited pun
ishment or a simple schooling for
eternal happiness, you change essen
tially the fabric of Christianity. If
the words we have been accustomed
to use to describe the fate of the wick
ed are, as Canon Farrar says, mis
translations, which ought not to stand
any longer in our English Bible, then
it will become necessary to revise the
old creeds, so that they shall hereaf
ter teach Universalism. If hell is not
a place of everlasting punishment,
but only a temporary state of correc
tion and purification, the orthodox
scheme of salvation is based on false
hood and must speedily go to pieces.
The startling remarks of Canon
Farrar become of great significance
when we remember that they were
addressed to the learned doctors who
are now engaged at Westminster
Abbey in revising the English Bible.
Did the speaker utter their convic
tions as well as his own, and fore
shadow what they are going to do ?
It has long been* conceded that the
riper scholarship now available could
improve the version of the Scriptures
made by King Janies’ translators.
The work of the revision, therefore,
began several years ago, though many
devout men feared that the result of
it would he to imperil the old rever
ence in the Holy Book. It is well
known that the textual revision
alone is likely to effect some impor
tant changes, perhaps resulting in
the excision of passages consecrated
in the memory of Christians; but we
now first hear that the scholars of
Westminster may take the old fash
ioned hell out of the Bible and write
away eternal damnation.
This is something to set English
and American orthodox Protestants
thinking very seriously. Are they
prepared to give up the old faith, and
to accept that of Universalism?
Moreover, what is to be the effect on
men of the dissipation of a doctrine
so long taught and so powerful in its
appeal to the mind ?
A. B. Malonv, M. D., Philadelphia,

Syrup excellent, having a ready sale
and rendering more satisfaction than
any Cough Syrup I have ever sold.”

"lirrmaa Syrup.”
No other medicine in the world was
ever given such a test of its curative
qualities as Boschee’s German Syrup.
In three years two million four hun
dred thousand small bottles of this
medicine were distributed free of
charge by Druggists in this country to
those afflicted witli Uonsumption, Asth
ma, Croup, severe Coughs, Pheumonia
and other diseases of the Throat and
Lungs, giving the American people un
deniable proof that German Syrup will
cure them. The result has been that
Druggists in every town and village in
the United States are recommending it
to their customers. Go to your Drug
gist, and ask what they know about it.
Sample Bottles 10 cents. Regular size
7-5 cents. Three doses will relieve and
case. nty8 d&wly

EnKliih Female Bitter*.
This is the great female medicine of
the present century. It is prepared ex
pressly for the cure of chronic female
complaints and irregularities, and its
cures are truely wonderful. Married
or single ladies, who are afflicted with
hysterics, with uterine troubles, sick
headache, pains in side and back; who
are prostrated, pale, feeble and emaci
ated, nervous and cross, with loss of
appetite, palpitation and general indis
position, have only to use one bottle
to be assured of rapid recovery. They
cure by strengthening and building up,
and imparting pure blood to that which
has become impoverished.
Ladies of Columbus should call on
Hood or Brannon. de25 ddfcwlw
