The aged Wisweils never failed to proclaim, two or three times apiece, that slavery was abolished.

Branded aa an Intellectual *s»mi.i.t General Sheridan’s Scathing Arraign ment of the Well Known Infidel. Washington, April I7.-General George Sheridan delivered his lecture, "A Modern F»gan,” this evening at the new National The- * >e ^ 0r8 * large audience, controverting the anti-religious views of Colonel Kobert G. Ingcrsoll. The lecturer was introduced by Hon. John Sherman, and among the many prominent people present were Senator Beck ex-Congressman Mitchell, of Connecticut, a number of members of the bar and many la- dies. Dickel went over his staple arguments contin- I J-^ e y’ re go’n* away in a day or so—their times' HO 11 XT an<l .. n .—1 1 1 _ , .

But there were a few who were silent— some because experience had convinced them that if they wanted to get enough to eat at the Van Tassel’s table they must begin at once and eat diligently to the end. Others were silent from a line sense of commercial discre tion and the fear of making enemies; and oth- ers, again, because they had money—they kept a bank account and owned real estate; they occupied the Van Tassel’s best rooms, and were above joining In a promiscuous con versation in a Doardiug house. Those who talked the loudest and bad the most to ssy occnpied the smallest rooms on the top floor. There were still others who were silent bo- I cause they were your amiable people who I never take sides. They are always neutral. They imagine their neutrality is religion pure and nndeiiled, but it is simply pure selfish ness. They are neutral because they care for nobody and nothing but thomselvea. As for the Esterbrooks, they assured the Coionel that the animosity and virulence man ifested by so many of the boarders was not a fair representation of the feeling of the better classes of the North; that, in fact, ail those who did the talking were only "very common, vulgar people,” and quite beneath his notice. But such consolation was something like trying to talk down the tooth-ache. The Co lonel's peace of mind was very seriously dis turbed. Ho had heard that siavery was abol ished, that the Union had been saved and that the South had been licked so many times that he dreamed about it, and be longed for noth ing so much as the seclusion and privacy of his own hearthstone. But the mountain air was evidently a benefit to his wife and daugh ter, and he strove to maintain his equanimity. His wife suggested changing their hoarding house. “I am afraid we shall meet with the same experience wherever we go,” replied the Colo nel, "and you would have the trouble of pack ing yonr tranks for nothing.” Mrs. Jadson proposed concealing the fact that they were Southerners. Anything for peace; besides, perhaps it would be better to . change on Eva’s account. The Colonel had the same thought. "If it is only a little girlish fancy she might not think of him again,” said the mother. The Colonel agreed with his wife that they had better go. His whole heart and soul and every fibre of his being, especially in the pres ent state of his feelings, revolted against the thought that any stronger tie should grow be tween his only child and this young North erner. So the next day the Colonel broke the news to the Van Tassels that he was going. He found the whole Van Tassel family con gregated in a small room adjoining the board ers’ dining-room and used by them as their own refectory. "Going, hay!” cried old David Van Tassel, an old man in his shir: sleeves. "What you go’n’ fur this soon?” he demanded belliger ently. "You can’t go ’fore your week’s up! We don't take no transients here.” The rest of the family, a crowd of grown-up sons and daughters and their mother, all part ners and share-owners in the Pleasant View House, sat, looking on in silence, but with hos tile mien and gaze. It was the old man’s pre rogative to do the talking till he ran out of ar gument, when it devolved on the others to come to his support. “I shall pay you for the entire week,” re plied the Colonel. "I am very sorry to leave you. most up. An’ as to that, Steve’s boarders ’ll pitch inter ye worse ’n mine. Steve ain’t got no sech boarders as I've got, an’ he ncvei had Look at the Biaisdelis with their own kerria"e an’ two nusses.” ° But in spite of ail tho old man cou d say the Colonel slipped out of bis avaricious clutches. "But ye ain’t ago’n’ to-day?” the old man cried anxiously. “We shall not go till after breakfast to-mor row,” replied the Colonel to the old man’s great satisfaction, and his heart was still further gladdened by the Colonel’s speaking for a carriage to lake to tako a drive that after- [ noon as they wished to visit Iho “points of interest ’ of which the circular spoke, before leaving. "We don’t find no grander rights nowhere than right ’round here,” cried the old man. “When ye go ’round this ar'iernoon an’ see for yerseif, I know ye an t go'll’ to leave us Say! I hear you like corn-bread! We’ve been ago n’ to make some; but we’ve been await’n’ for new meal. We won’t wait uo longer. You shall have sotno corn-bread for ycr supper! Mother, she’s a reg’ler brick at rnak’n’ corn- bread I An’t ye mother? They can’t make no corn-bread lur ye up ter Steve’s!" While the Colonel was gone to impart the news of his intended departure to the Van Tassels, Mrs. Judson went in quest other daughter whom she found in her room dress ing for a drive with the Esterbrooks. “My dear,-’ she said, “you were sochartned with the Breeze Lawn Houso the night of the german, 1 hope you will be pleased to hear t^tyour pa has engaged rooms there for us." Oh! Ma!” crie 1 Eva,in anything but joyous tones, while the blood leaped to her face and neck. “Are we going away from here, ma?” les, dear. Your pa is too much annoy ed by those people at the table. He finds no en joyment in remaining here. I know you will not like to go away; but you will make friends there.darling, that you will like as well aa vou do the Esterbrooks. ” “O, ma, no indeed! I shall never, never see anybody in this world again that I do love and admire so much as I do the Esterbrooks!” and the young girl burst into tears. “Why Eva!” exclained her mother in con sternation. “I am astonished!” “It’s ail over now, ma!” returned Eva the We all lik'd very much here, the air has benefitted my wife and daughter, I ’ g certainty the scenery-here is charming » I lie was, _ far from reconciled r are what you want to go fur,” he hleS "Don’t the table suit ye?

General Sheridan said it was not his purpose to utter a defense of the Christian religion; it was to show the evil effects of the course adopted by Colonel Ingersoll, whom he said he knew to be personally one of the most worthy and able of men—a good son, a faith ful husband, an affectionate father and a grand patriot. But when he approaches the subject of religion tho mantle of his geni il peisonality falls from his shoulders, his judgment is warped, and he becomes at once the loudest of boasters and the most unfair of disputants. No man has ever assailed the Christian reli- gion with more eloquence, less skill, worse logic, so much conceit and so little learning . The lecturer then charged Ingersoll with de- clmmg to meet men competent to discus the question with him. In fact he never met but one really able man-t.be late Judge -lore Black—and then the instant he felt the steel ran from the field. In discussing the ones tions of Christianity, Ingersoll creates spuri ous issues; he utterly ignores the work of Christianity, he neither comprehends nor ap preciates the excellence and magnitude of the achievements among ns of the system he so I flippantly assails. | Relative to God, his ways and works. Colo nel Ingersoll manifests a curiosity that is as senseless as it is idle, impertinent and disre spectful. He says he doesn’t understand God and therefore he doesn’t believe there is one! He doesn t understand electricity, but it goes on electrifying. He does not understand the affinity of soul for soul, still the stars look down on fair maidens listening to the eager voice of youth as it whispers the old, old story that has brightened all the ages. And millions of homes in our great land to-night are joyous with the songs of those whose souls are held close together by the same invisible cords that since the birth of Time have been woven in the loom of Love. Ingersoll should consider the effect of his .attacks on religion before giv- mg them publicity, and he has no right to pa rade his vagrant fancies before the coininunit as a code of morals.

Mr. Ingcrsoll is a moral and intellect ual anarchist. His peroration was an outburst of thr lliDg eloquence, describing the anarchical tenden cies of infi-ielity. He portrayed Colonel In gcrsoll as the assailant of the subiiincst teach ings of philosophy, of poetry and of science, of ancient and of modern times without offer ing a substitute or a better thing.

Suicide of Lieutenant Osnenhower, of the Arctic Exploring Party. Aknavolis, April 20 —Lieutenant John W. Danenhower, of arctic fame, was discovered at ten o'clock this morning dead in his quarters at the naval academy, with a bullet hole in his right temple. He was found lying on his rag in front ot the fire-place with a tag tied to his button-hole saying: . “Seud to my brother at Washington. Although he has had in mtal trouble since be returned from the arctic regions, what imme diately led to the suicide is thought to have been the recent grounding of the Constellation on its way to Noifolk, which he had charge of, and for which it is supposed he had fear ot being courtmartialed. Furthermore, he was very intimate with young Robert W. Hate- wood. who recently committed suicide on the "Carolina,” and whom he saw in death. It is supposed that this death suggested the mode ro him Ilia wife, formerly Miss Sloan, of much that is real: .- j*- ■ * instjfjcc iind vofa- cious hawks, dinner to have ready by twelve and breakfast wanted at sunrise; actual holes in little Bud's socks and pants’’ knees- and new dresses to be ready for Easter Sunday a frosty, windy March that blighted peaches and pears and gave gardens a back set.

The last sensation in the art world was the exhibition and sale by auction of tbe collection paintings and statuary formed by tbe late T. Stewnrt, tbe merchant dry goods prince New York. . The pictures were exhibited at the Ameri can Art Society rooms for one month. I went to see them on Feb. 22d. 1 could not miss this collection; for as I have made it my bu,i- ness to see all the great ones that have been exhibited in New York for the last twenty years, they would not be complete without seeing this unique collection. The finest painting was Meissonnier’s “Napoleon lle- viewing His Troops in Fried and, 1807. This painting cost Mr. Stewart *00,000 and $10,000 custom duties, making a total sum of 0,000. represented a squadron of cuirassiers pass- jug jn Review before Napoleon and his staff. The horses were very finely painted, Napole n astride bis famous Whitehorse bareheaded, liis shako uplifted in his right hand. Below the painting was a portrait of the artist in wa ter color The next one in value was Rosa Bonheur’s “Horse Fair,” which represented a troop of noble l’ercheron horses on their way to a fair. This was purchased by Mr. Corne lius "Vanderbilt for $53,000, and then presented by him to tbe Metropolitan Museum. “The Ueggiit" Monk,” by Edward Zamacois, was sold for $10,000, and Mrissonner’s “Charity” and “Before the Barracks” $10,000 each. A verv fine painting, T u -t Children s Par ty ” was sold to Jay Gouid for $20,000. *lhe art St was Ludwig Knauss. “Homere et Son Guide ” by Bougereau, went for $10,000. It was very line. Poor old Homer was repre sented in a tattered garment, his lyre strapped on his back, a young boy leading him by the band and liis faithful dog trotting by his side. This d*." was a great feature in tbe picture. He was so mangy looking, so unkempt and neglected—a typical beggar s dog. As I stood before tbe picture i was forcibly reminded of poor Argus, tbe faithful dog of Ulysses, de scribed by Homer so beautifully and pathet ically in the 17th book of the Odyssey. An other painting by this great artist, “The Ke- turn from tbe Harvest,” was also told for $10,000. Gvromes “Pollute Verso’ was very fine. We seetheKoman amphitheatre in tbe time of the Emperors.
