HENRY WARD BEECIIER ON HEAVEN
AND HELL.
From the A. F. Sun.
It is lucky for Mr. Beecher that he is not
responsible) for his behavior to any religious
body besides his own congregation. If he
were, his audacious assaults on time-honored
dogmas would have again and again, brought
him to ecclesiastical trial, and doubtless to
condemnation. His recent sermons on hea
ven and hell, for example, must arouse the
ire ef many an orthodox boliever, aud make
him long for some means of sealing np such
a fountain of heresy. Mr. Boochor actually
dares to doubt tbat bell is a pluce full of fire
and brimstone, and that heavenly joys con
sist in one uniform and monotonous occu
pation. He ventures to apply common sense
to the consideration of the subject, and to
pive forth without fear the conclusions to
which it leads him.
It is quite evident that if the teachers of
religion would preserve a general belief in
heaven and hell, they must cease to repre
Bent them as having a local existence in the
material universe. For centuries pastastrono
niors have been sweeping the sky in every
direction with their telescopes, but no one of
them has discovered any asteroid or planet
which at all fulfils the requirements of the
home of either the blessed or the miserable
after death. No miner or explorer of the
bowels of the earth has yet found the way to
caverns which would answer to the prison
house of the damned. And then, besides,
the objection which Mr. Beecher presented
with Buch force in his sermon on heaven
comes up continually: How can a disem
bodied spirit live and move and enjoy and
suffer in a material dwelling-place? The
apostle tells us that flesh and blood cannot
inherit the kingdom of . heaven. If so, that
kingdom cannot be of a nature which flesh
and blood could inherit. The kingdom of
hell, it would seem, ought to be equally in
accessible to men still clothed with mortal
clay; and all attempts to fix it here or there,
in this planet or in that, are futile, and will
be regarded so by all who have not surren
dered their reason to mere dogmatism.
On the other hand, there is a growing con
viction, on which nodoubt Mr. Beecher counts
for support, that both heaven and hell are
within and above this material universe, and,
though invisible to the eyesight, which takes
cognizance of material objects, are appreci
able by the senses, so to speak, of the soul,
when it is relieved of the flesh covering which
now envelops it. There are those, indeed,
who believe that, even before death, the veil
may be temporarily lifted, and the spirits of
the departed and the realm in which they
dwell made evident to specially favored
individuals: but most people are content to
wait till death finally releases them from
their imprisonment, and enables them to
enjoy their new state of being. To all such
heaven and hell are none the less real because
not material; nor are the hope f happineas
nnd the fear of punishment any the less
powerful motives of action than they are to
holders of the old-fashioned notions. Indeed,
this bringing of the future state closer to
their apprehensions, and impressing upon
them its intimate relations to ther own moral
quality, makes it easier to have a living faith
in it, and consequently gives it animportance
ia their minds which it would not otherwise
possess.
Mr. Beecher's idea that there is variety,
and not uniformity, in the joys of Heaven,
also commends itself to intelligent minds,
It is readily seen that human beings do not
cease to be human by the death of the body.
As Dr. 1 ranklin remarked more than a can
tury ago, man is not a body animated by a
soul; ho is a soul clothed with a body. Whan
the clothing is laid aside, the man himself
remains unchanged. What he loved he con
tinues to love; what he hated ho continues to
hate; and he retains all the peculiarities which
distinguished him from other men. If
Heaven is to be a place of happiness at all,
its happiness must be adapted to human na
ture; and not only that, but to the peculiar
human nature of each individual. It is con
trary to reason, as well as an imputation on
the resources of Almighty Wisdom, to sup
pose that the inhabitants of the Heavenly
abodes are to be all moulded in one pattern,
and permitted to engage in only one class of
labors and pleasures.
Mr. Beecher, therefore, in striking out on
this apparently bold and hazardous line of
thought, is running much less risk than might
he supposed. He is not so much leading
public opinion as indicating the current in
which he has had the sagacity to perceive it
is already running. As has happened many
times before in the history of intellectual
progress, he comes in at a late day to profit
by the labors of men who have preceded him,
and who have suffered martyrdom for prema
turely promulgating the views he now advo
cates with toleration if not applause.
SENATOR MORTON IN ENGLAND.
From the N. V. World.
The cable favors us with the following piece
of impertinence, put forth by a London news
paper (the Pall Mall Gazelle), on the rumor
of the appointment of Senator Morton, of
Indiana, as Minister of the United States in
Ed gland:
"A thoroughly Incompetent person has been
selected to represent the United States tn Eagland,
and la instructed unit to bully and next to threaten
war Th!s incompetent person hesitates, probably
preferring a domestic skirmish with the Democrjts
to a war with EnglamL"
The Pall Mall Gazette has been associated
with the Daily News of London and the
New York Tribune in maintaining near the
seat of war a sort of triplex English cor
respondent, whose extraordinary interviews
with Count von Bismarck constituted for
acme time the chief staple of the Tribune's
news from Europe, and were claimed by that
journal as the outpourings of the Prussian
Premier's confidence in its own "special"
representative. Since Count von Bismarck
publicly discredited his various "inter
viewers," and the Associated Press put a stop
to the proposterous pretensions of the ZVt
bune, we have heard little or nothing of the
triplex Englishman in Flanders or in France.
lias he, perhaps, returned to the more
facile duty of insulting America and the Ame
rican government at the behest of a discarded
American envy in London? The Pull Mall
Gazette and Daily News devoted themselves
at the time of Mr. Motley's recall to Bi aging
the praises of that remarkable diplomatist.
They were illy-advised when they exchanged
that particular form of rlunkeyisni for such
assaults as this which we now quote on one of
the most eminent statesmen and leaders of
the Republican party in the United States.
We have no special admiration for the course
of Senator Morton in our domestic politios.
But he is at least a recoguized public man of
the highest standing in America, and it is not
paying him a very nigh compliment to say
that, had he none to the Court of RL James,
he would have found few men in the publio
service of England who could pretend to hold
a higher position in that country than he
holds among his fellows in this country. If
the Tribune or its English partners in the
misreDresentation of current history imagine
that the determination of the American
people to see justice done to them in regard
to the Alabama claims can l3 affected by the
sneers or the bumptiousness or London news
papers, we opine that their fond delusion
will be at no distant day rather disagreeably
dispelled.
THE NEUTRALITY QUESTION BE
TWEEN PRUSSIA AND THE UNITED
STATES.
From the rail Hall Gazette.
We may anticipate that the correspondence
between Count Bernstorff and Lord Granville
will be paralleled by a correspondence be
tween Baron Oerolt and Mr. Fish. It is said
that from the United States, as well as from
the United Kingdom, large supplies of contra
band of war have been and are still being
imported into France. Impartiality would
seem to require that the American like the
British Government should bo favored oy tue
German Minister with a diplomatic exposition
of the theory and practice of neutrality. It
cannot be supposed tbat tne remonstrance
addressed by Count Bernstorff to Lord Gran
ville expressed merely nis personal views on
the question to which it related. The doctrine
of "benevolent neutrality must be regarded
as one whicn tne uerman uomeaeration
is prepared to maintain against all oomers,
We are justified in assuming that our3 is not
an exceptional but an ordinary case; and in
demanding that the principle which Count
Bernstorff has invented or revived should be
applied by his Government not only to its
relations with us but also to its relations with
every other power placed in a similar posi
tion to our own. The international policy of
the German Confederation should be meted
out with one measure in all quarters of the
globe: and it is fair to expect that its repre
sentatives should be restrained from blowing
hot across the English Channel and cold
across the Atlantic.
The proclamation in which President Grant
announced the neutrality of the United States
at the commencement of the present war his
answered in advance any remonstranco Baron
Gerolt is likely to make to him, should ha be
inclined to follow in the steps of Count Bern
storff. In it the legal freedom I of American
citizens to trade at their own peril in contra
band of war with either of the belligerents is
distinctly admitted. They are duly warned
that if they export arms or ammunition either
to Germany or H ranee, tne cargoes will be
liable to capture and confiscation. But out
Bide the limits of their neutrality laws which
are by no means so stringent as our amended
Foreign Enlistment act it is not attempted,
except by a formal appeal to their individual
good feeling, to place any restrictions upon
their discretion as to the line of conduct they
may cnoose to pursue, we nave done as
much, and it is all which the law of
nations requires that neutral States
Bhould do. It is not their business
to prevent their subjects from entering into
a contraband trade witn tne belligerents
They are thought to have conceded enough to
the claims of the latter when they consent to
allow thsni to seize upon the property of the
former, which under other circumstances
would be protected. Bat, besides these
general considerations, there is a special ar
gument which Mr. Fish may urge npon the
attention of Baron Gerolt, and Lord Gran
ville might have brought under the notice of
Count Bern storff, the cogency and signiti
cance of which it is impossible to exagge
rate. By the thirteenth article of the treaty
of amity and commerce ratified between the
United States and Prussia in !"!)!, by which
aiormer treaty 01 in was renewed in a
more complete and explicit form, it is pro
Tided tbat
"In case of one of the contracting parties being
engaged lu war with any other power, to prevtnt
all diitlcultles and misunderstandings that usually
arise respecting merchandise of contraband, each
as aims, ammunition, and military stores of every
Kino, no Bucn articles carried in tne vessels, or by
the subjects or cltizeni of either party, to the ene
mies of the other shall be deemed contraband, so as
to Induce confiscation or condemnation, and a loss
of property to Individuals. Nevertheless, It shall be
lawful to stop snch vessels and articles and to de
tain them for such length of time as the captors
may think necessary to prevent the inconvenience
or damage that might ensue from their proceeding.
paying, however, a reasonable compensation for the
Iobs such arrest shall occasion to the proprietors ;
and It shall jurther bo allowed to use la the service
of the captors the whole or any part of the military
stores so detained, paying the owners the full value
of the tame, to be ascertained by the current price
at the place of destination."
This stipulation is designated by Sir Tra
vels Twiss "a somewhat singular innovation
upon tbe practice which has prevailed among
the nations of Europe in regard to contra
band of war; and he adds that it constitutes
"the Twelfth Article of the Treaty of Com
merce concluded between Prussia and the
Tnited States of America on Mayl, 1826,
wnicn is now in force.
Count Bernstorff s essay on neutrality is a
Btrange commentary on tne treaty engige
ments of his country. We presume he does
cot pretend that Prussia has relieved itself
from the obligation by the absorption of the
minor German States. If Baron Gerolt does
not proceed npon this assumption either, it is
evident that he can havo nothing to say
against the export of cannon, riiles, and car
tridges which are le ported to be on their way
irom ivew lork to lirest and Havre. But the
effect of the article we have quoted is far
wider than it appears at first Bight to be. It
not only secures an indemnity for the deten
tion of the contraband goods of American
citizens by Prussia, but also for all coatra
band goods in the oomse of transit to the
enemy of Prussia in American vessels.
Count Bernstorff did not propose to Lord
Granville that in the interests of a "benevo
lent neutrality our Government should put
a Btop to our commerce altogether. But
nothing 8bort of this could prevent American
citizens from purchasing munitions of war
from ns and taking them to France. Even
if their ships were overhauled bv German
cruisers they would get as fair a price for their
cargoes if as they had completed their-voyage
unmolested; and as neutrals, it would of
course be a matter of supreme indifference
to them whether they were paid for them in
francs or thalers. Count Bernstorff's Bug
gestion therefore resolves itself in substanoa
into this: That we should hamper our maun
r . ... . . ..
laciurers witn unprecedented restraints in
order that a premium may be offered for the
development of tho mercantile marine of the
U nited btates. On tbe whole, as an alterna
tive, we confess we prefer continued liability
to "fresh and momentous complications, es
pecially as affecting national susceptibilities,"
to what he asserts we are as matters stand
exposed.
TnE EARTHQUAKE.
From the if. T. Times.
On the afternoon of Saturday, June 2", a
blight tremor was felt in New York and its vi
cinity, which was popularly held to have been
an earthquake. - The evidence, however, ap-
pears to have bean insufficient to Justify the
record 01 a rsew xora earuiqaaae at tnat
time as an historical faot, although many
persons insisted that the motion they had
felt could be attributed to nothing else. Last
Thursday morning, at a time variously esti
mated from 1 to Hi, a similar phenome
non was experienced. Persons in different
parts of the city, and more particularly in
tbe neignoornood of centre street, leit
shocks described as lasting from three to
fifteen seconds. Chandeliers were violently
shaken; chairs and desks were thrown down.
reople in many places rushed terror
stricken into the street. There were stam
pedes from some school-houses, the children
running lortn in i right, and some of their
number being thrown down and trampled
under foot. In some instances articles as
heavy as sewing-machiness were npset. and
in one tbe leg of a piano is said to have been
fractured. Many clocks stopped. Rocking
chairs flew swiftly back and forth, and orna
ments fell from tables and mantels. The
laree bell of the post office oscillated, and
finally the clapper struck the rim of the bell
for the first time without human agency.
A case is reported in which a fruit-stand was
dashed to the ground, and another of a lady
being Bimilaily treated as she was about to
enter a car. Other -eases are mentioned of
pedestrians being thrust into involuntary
collision. Buildings were shaken slightly
from Bide to side, add in a
few instances the most notable bains at
the corner of Division and Catharine
streets masonry was cracked and founda
tions unsettled. Women fainted in different
parts of the town, and one in her terror
jumped out of a window, and sustained some
injury. bbof-towerB and othor tall structures
are said to have swayed perceptibly in vari
ous localities, creating much consternation.
Numbers of people were made quite ill, as if
from sea-sickness, the nausea lasting for an
hour or more after tho shocks. It will thus
be seen that whatever doubt may hare at
tached to tho phenomenon of the 2"th of
June, there can be none whatever respecting
tbat ol October 20.
During the afternoon and evening tele-
grnphio despatches were received from many
quarters, which would have Bet the matter at
rest had there existed any question regarding
it. From Quebec, Montreal, and St. Catha
rine's, in Canada, to Philadelphia, Scranton,
and Titusville, in Pennsylvania; from Port
land and Bangor, on the east, to Cleveland
and Cincinnati, on the west, corroborative
testimony poured in, showing that the con
vulsion, if not very terrible in effect, had
been very wide in range, and certainly quite
unprecedented in the annals of the
regions it viBitsd. The accounts from all
these places, as well as from Boston, Albany,
Providence, and other towns throughout
New York and New England, correspond
w ith what was observed in the metropolis.
No lives were lost, and little serious damage
was done, but the inhabitants were much
alarmed, and concurred in the opinion thit
no such visitation-had before been observed
in their section. So far as we are at present
advised, the earthquake extended from the
Atlantic Ocean to the great lakes east and
west, and from the St. Lawrence to the Sus
quehanna north and south. The personal
experiences reported from various points are
ciiriously similar. People thought themselves
attacked by sudden vertigo or neuralgia, ani
some elderly persons imagined they were
to be afflicted with a stroke of paralysis.
As regards time, most of the aocounts
from places on our own meridian are
nearly in agreement. A comparison,
however, of the hours assigned at spots dif
fering most widely in longitude leads to defi
nite conclusions as to the earthquake's direc
tion. Thus, the despatches from Detroit and
Cleveland fix the moment at 11 o'clock, and
that from Cincinnati says The Boston
account declares the convulsions to have oc
curred at precisely 11 '20. At Portland the
time is stated at 11 ;!.". Hartford has it at
1121 and Providence at 11 '2 7. The move
ment, or wave, therefore, passed, generally
Bpeaking, from the southwest to the north
east, and took something like half an hour
in its transit.
There seems to be some differenoe of
opinion respecting former earthquakes in the
regions cow so visited. It is said that slight
shocks have been felt in New York before, on
Sept. , 18 IS, and March 18, 1S.":J; at Buffalo,
Oct. 23, 18."7, and throughout New England,
Oct. 22, 18Clt. Besides these, there is the
doubtful earthquake of the 2.1th of June,
1870, already mentioned. It is also affirmed
that records exist of two earthquakes in Bos
ton, and presumably in its vicinity, which oc
curred Nov. 18, 1755, and March 12, 1701.
That much graver disturbances of this na
ture have been felt in remoter times in this
region is certain. There are in various parts
of the country geological evidences of the
fact. The great chasm that runs from the
western base of the Shawangunk Mountain,
at Ellenville, in Ulster county, New
York, for nearly 2000 yards,
to the top, is a remarkable illustra
tion. It is not difficult to find, in truth,
abundant evidence that the popular theory
which confines earthquakes to southerly or
tropical regions is a mistaken one. The in
stances cited in these columns on the od of
July last are sufficiently conclusive on this
point. Both England (the last time in 18b0)
and Ireland have been repeatedly so visited.
In 1580 part of St. Paul's and the Temple
churches were levelled by an earthquake in
London. The devastation in the Japanese
Islands in 1854-5, and in Chili in 18G8, is re
membered by all. These casualties, well out
of the tropics, and, in the first instance, at
places much further toward the pole than
ourselves, clearly show that there is only com
parative immunity from earthquakes in the
temperate zones. It is true that in our north
ern homes we have no chronicles of awful
catastrophes, like those of Lisbon, in 1755, or
Pekin, in 1(;J2 and 1731, but if no such thing
has heretofore befallen in the historic period,
there is no certainty tbat it will not happen
at all. On the contrary, the doctrine of
chances might teach that so long an exemp
tion argued the probability of an impending
change. In California, as we all know,
earthquakes have, of late, been many and
severe. And as the general direction of these
perturbations on the American Continent
appears to be from west to east, and as we
know from the Lisbon example that their
disastrous effects will . sometimes range
through a space of thousands of miles, it is
quite possible that a great earthquake may
one day extend from tbe Pacific to the At
lantic. It is a strange and interesting fact
the authority is that of the well-known Mr.
Mallet that the catalogue of earthquakes
recorded equals in number the years of the
Moaaio record. That hone of these six thou
sand convulsions has ever done us any harm
furnishes no assurance of permanent aeourity.
Two or three physical - incidents of note
preceded at short intervals the earthquake of
Thursday, and their possible connection with
it warrants consideration. There were in the,
first place, within a few dsys, unusually bril
liant displays of the aurora borealis. Just
prior to this, extraordinary freshets inundated
our middle belt of States. The great Cuban
hurricane came before the earthquake by not
many hurs, and, finally, a great gale raged
on the Atlantio coast on the night immedi
ately preceding. It maybe that these inci
dents were totally unconnected, bo far as their
causes are concerned, with the main events of
which we write. But the discoveries of
modern science are so constantly establish
ing the co ordination and mutual inter
dependence of the powers of nature, that
a connection between these phenomena
looks plausible and may hereafter be demonstrated.
THOMAS HUGHES.
From the AT. T. Titbune.
Mr. Thomas Hughes, who spoke his first
and farewell word to a New York public Friday
night, and who left ns in batnrday s steamer,
has been more cordially welcomed in this
country than any other Englishman could be
with the single exception of John Bright.
We had learned to regard him as a close
friend years ago. The book which first
brought him into notice touched a chord in
all manly hearts, and awakened a sentiment
of personal regard of the readers for the
writer which is one of the rarest aud most
precious of all the rewards of literary success.
When Mr. Hughes entered public life, it was
no surprise to us to find him as liberal,
honest, and straightforward in his politics as
he was in his books ns we knew he must be,
too, in all his personal relations. Wben our
civil war drew the lines sharply between the
true and the false friends of liberty and
national progress, it was no more than we
expected that he should take a bold stand
npon our side, and appreciate the justice
of our cause and the deep interest which
humanity bad in our success. We have
not forgotten how incessantly he worked
for us, and perhaps we may never fully
realize how much he and the few zealous
Liberals who co-operated with him actually
did to prevent the British Government
from committing itself to the Confederate
cause.
Mr. Hughes, therefore, is a man to whom
America might have tendered tho vulgar
honors of that tumultuous sort of welcome
which is commonly called "an ovation." We
ore glad tbat be has been spared that offen
sive exhibition of hospitality. He has made
a quiet visit, as an unassuming private gen
tleman; he has not been tortured with official
dinners and receptions; he has been Buffered
to go his way in peace, getting a heartfelt
welcome and a warm grip of the hand
wherever he has Been fit to stop, and making
new friends wherever he has allowed himself
to speak. We have nothing to regret, now
tbat he is going away, except that he goes so
soon, and that it has not been possible for
us to show him more attention without in
fringing upon that privacy which even a
politician must be allowed to prize. Mr,
Hughes has not only given us a great
deal of pleasure by bis visit, but he has done,
we believe, a great deal of good. He has
not taught us to think just what he thinks
about the Alabama claims; but he has read
justed our sentimental relations with Great
Britain, which were certainly awhile ago
very much out of order, we had been
getting into a frame of mind most unfavor
able to a peaceful settlement of our dilhculty,
or even to any discission of it. A few frank
words from Mr. Hughes, though they will
not atlect our position on the main question,
have gone far to allay our irritation, and dis
pose us to press our demands with that
equable temper and substantial friendliness
of spirit which are the surest guarantees of
success.
Scarcely less marked is the service he ren
ders in the closing words he addressed Friday
night to the most crowded and enthusiastic
audience gathered for many a month in a
New York lecture-room. Our laboring
classes, blindly adopting the abandoned
weapons of their English brethren, may well
be admonished by this trusted English friend
that a more excellent way has been found;
that strikes are a relio of barbarism, which
ought to be outgrown; that labor and capital
are allies by ties of consanguinity as well as
interebt; that there is no excuse for the
tyrannv of labor unions over their own
members in a country where the demand for
labor is far in advance of the supply; and
that here, as well as in England, co-operation
furnishes the true solution far labor difficul
ties. In England Mr. Hughes has been the
workingmen's champion. It will be fortu
nate for them and ns if here they' are wise
enough to accept him for a counsellor.
THE MILITARY SITUATION IN FRANCE.
From the N: T. Herald.
With the exception of a few unimportant
movements in the provinces the situation in
France remains unchanged. Bazaine's shrewd
proposition to surrender a portion of his gar
rison at Metz with the idea of subsisting the
rest so much longer has been rejected by
General von Moltke, who looks to a full and
unconditional surrender before long. Mont
Didier on the north, cd Magny on the west
have been occupied, and the rear lines at
Orleans have been strengthened by the with
drawal of the Prussian . troops from Beau
gency sndMeuny.
General Bourbaki is on his way to take
command of the Army of the North at Lille,
and Rouen and Amiens are preparing for de
fense with that inactive enthusiasm that alone
seems to have saved France from utter para
lysis. About Paris a steady fire from the for
tifications is continually kept np, though it
is now stated that the Prussians, resting
safely behind their works, are not disturbed
by it. Such an incessant fire must have the
effect ere long to empty the French arsenals
of their bombs and missiles. The Napoleonio
legacy of irresolution and inoertituda clings
like a shirt of Nessus to the authorities of
the republic. Napoleon himself was more of
a general than the world gives him credit for
since Sedan. ilii Italian campaign displayed
qualities that his uncle might have admired,
especially in those matters wherein he was so
lamentably lacking in his latest war. The
admirable disposition and rapid transportation
of histroopswere of immense avail at the turn
ing point of the battle of Magenta, when his
heavy reinforcements came on the ground in
a train of cars, and wjre advaiced in a line of
battle directly from the rulroad. Of late
years, however, he became c ireless, and left
the important items of commissariat and mobi
lization to bis subordinates, and the result was
climaxed at Sedan. The legacy of a worth
less commissariat and lack of concentration
has fallen with heavy bands on the young
republio. The National Guard in the interior
are disorderly, the organization of Gardes
Mobile is progressing with fatal tardiness,
the generals of the republio act mostly on
their own "hook," and a sad lack of system
prevails throughout. Time, however, will
remedy all this, if prance or Prussia, either,
for that matter, can only afford time. The
presence of Prussians in their country and
encircling in hostile lines their own favor jd
capital will serve finally to weld Frenchmen
into one idea and one sentiment. It will make
France all French; Alsaoe, Lorraine, Nica,
Savoy, will all feel tbe more tender love for
their common country while it continues over
run by German hordes. It will cement the
people together and thus make thera strong,
as the Southern Rebellion in our own land,
in bringing about the upheaval of old party
differences, showed us also our strength and
welded ns the more firmly together. With
the Germans away from home it is another
matter. These ti oops are not the hardened
soldiery that the fact of their being drilled
almost from infanoy up might possibly lead
ns to infer. They are mainly the landwehr
the heme guards. The greater part of them,
although trained as soldiers, have never seen
actual seivice until the present war;
have never endured the hardships of
sieges and marches and battles and camp
fever, and the peculiarly German malady,
home sickness. They have not learned to
endure tbe deprivations of war in their little
provincial encampments any more than
1 isk s :'th Kegiment has beoome equal to
lrginia campaign by their camp instruction
at liocg Branch. Ihese men, therefore,
during the dreary, rainy winter that is about
to set in, will be troubled, like raw recruits,
with camp fevers and colds and that dismal
home sickness with which many stout men,
not near so domestic in their temperaments
as tho Germans, died in the far-away camps
down South.
