INGERSOLL'S CHE ED.
Pome one sends u« a little tract con
taining epigrammatic expressions from
Col Kol>t. G. Ingersoli's latest lecture,
What must we do to be saved?' We
have read the the tract, and we have
read the entire i< cture. ll this is truly
Ingersoli's creed, the Colonel is not so
far out <if the way. He is coming round
may be. He manages to get Consider
able scrip!ure iuto his creed, as he s-ets
it lorth. There is lots of hopt*; in fact,
there is a great deal of ceitaiuty for the
Colonel. We subj.i.n a few articles of
this great man's creed, ju.-t to show
from what book he gets his declaration
of faith :
'Honest industry is as good as pious
! idleness,' says the Colonel.
Well, that's all right. That's ortho
dox. The ii.ble says the same thing,
and said it long before the Coionel had
thought of it —Faith without works is
| dead.'
'Christ believed the temple of God to
; be the heart of tuaii'— lngersoli.
Yes, that's orthodox too. We 'must
worship him in spirit. Kuow ye uot
that je aie the temples of the Holy
Ghost?'
'lf I go to heaven I want to take aiy
reason with me. —lnge soli.
Of course, and so you will, 'for now
we see through a glass darkiy, but there
face to face; now i know in part, but
then 1 shall know even as I am known.'
1 Cor xi;i, 12.
'Fear is a dagger with which hypoc
ricy assassinates the soul'—lngersoli.
Thai's good gospel, and 'perfect love
casteth out fear.'.
'll 1 owe Sui'th ten dollars, and God
forgave me, that doesn't pay Smith.'—
lngersoli.
Correct you are; the prayer of Chris
tianity is, 'Forgive us our debts as we
forgive our debtors' ' Owe no mau
anything.'
'Reason is the light of the soul, and
if you have uot the right to follow it,
what have you a right to follow?'—ln
gersoli.
'Yet in the church I would rather
speak five words with my understand
ing, that by my voice 1 might teach
others also, than ten thousand words in
an unknown tongue Brethren, be not
children in understanding; howheit in
malice be ye children, but in under
standing be men.'—l Oor. xiv, 19-20
'if you go to hell, it will be for not
practicing the virtues which the Ser
mon ou the Mount proclaims - ' —lnger-
soli.
That's all orthodox. 'lf ye know
these tbitigs, happy are ye if ye do
them '
The men who saw the miracles all
died long ago. I wasn't acquainted
with any of 'em.'—lngersoli.
Same way with the men who saw
Servetus burned. But the Colonel
most firmly believes that Servetus was
burned.
'A little miracle now, right here —
just a little one—would do more toward
the advancement of the gospel than all
the preaching of the last thirty years.'
—lngersoli.
•It they hoar not Moses and the
prophets, neither will they be persuaded
though oue rose from the dead.' —Luke
xvii, 31
'lf there is a God in the universe he
will uot damn au honest man.'—lnger
soli.
'A false balance is an abomination
unto the Lord; but a just weight is hi
delight.'—Prov x , 1.
'There is only one true worship, and
that is the practice of just.ee.'—lnger
soli.
'Render therefore unto Caesar the
things which be Cajsar's, and unto God
the things which be God's.'—Luke xx,
25.
'God will Let damn a good citizen,
a good father, or a good friend.'—ln
gersoli.
Certainly not; nor any good man.
'A good mau showeth favor and
lendeth, he will guide his affairs with
discretion. Surely, he shall not be
moved forever ; the righteous shall be
held in everlasting remembrance.'—Ps.
xxii, 5, fi.
'Study the religion of the bodv in
preference to the religion of the soul
A healthy body will give a healthy
tnind, and a healthy miud will destroy
superstition.'—lngersoli.
That explains why the Indians have
no superstitions.
'People who have the smallest sools
make the most fuss about saving them.'
—lngersoli
Of course. Colonel; they are the hard
est kind to save.
'I will never ask God to treat me any
fairer than I treat my fellow men.'—
lugers»ll.
Well, that's perfectly orthodox, 'For
if ye forgive meu their trespasses, your
heavenly Father will also forgive you;
but if you forgive uot men their tres
passes, neither will your Father forgive
your trespasses.' 'For with what judg
ment ye judge, ye shall be judged; and
with what mea.-ure ye mete, shall be
measured to you.'
'Upon th*» shaddowy shore of death j
the sea of trouble casts uo wave.'—ln- i
gersoll.
The Colonel must have been singing
that good old hymn, 'When 1 can read
uiy title clear,' in which occur the liues:
" And not & wav- ot trouble rolls
Acrono iu> peaceful breast"
—Burlington Hawkeye.

TERRORS OF THE SIMOON, j
The 'simoon,' or poisoned wind of
Arabia is a serious affair to the persons
caught in it. The Genii* of the column
of v\ ind is composed of a poisonous gas,
to breathe which is Round this
centre there eddy violent "rusts of heat
ed and impregnated air, like that of a
furnace. It approaches slowly amid the
whirl of air currents that pireceeds it at
some distance. During its presence the
only chance of preserving life is found
in covering the face with a cloth and
lying prone on the sand, iiahaling what
little pure air may be fonL'.d next to the
earth. Meanwhile, the feeling of the
chest is that of suffocation, and that of
the limbs as though molten iron was be
ing poured over them.. Caioiels instinct

President Garfield nn'l Judge Kelloy
once went down on the Eastern Shore
of Maryland to make some political
speeches. It was in w»r times, during
a Congressional campaign, and some of
the Eastern Shoremen were strong
rebels. While General Garfield was
making a Republican speech in the
Court House at Chestertown, an egg
whizzed by like a bullet and smashed
against the wall behind him. 'G« ntle
men.' said Judge Kelley, sniffing the
air, 'l'm happy to see that down here
on the Eastern Shore the glorious
American eagle lays sound eggs.'

REEIi.
One of the pbcnomtnil <areers of
>r this century wai ended on he m rn
», ing of the 10th ultimo, ly the death oi
e Benjamin Disraeli, Karl ofßeacousfi -lei.
r Tie -on of Isaac D'lsraeli, the wel
d known author, he was born Dec. 21,
1804 Some of his friends had hiui
*, baptized July 31, 1817, during the ab
•- sence of h.s father, and thus the way
't to a cateer in England was op ned uj
to one wh • would otherwise h.»ve beet,
i nscribed. Little is kno«Vii of hi?
■ i education, but it was fairly go.) I,
i though he never attended either a pub
n lie school or a university. When a
vouiig man his attainments were quite
i remarkable for their range, but he wa.-
n« ver a very accurate scholar, aud wat
t qu t.- apt to trip when he attempted
a.iy display of learning. After spend
•- ing a lew years iu a solicitor's office, hi
devoted himself to soc.etv and litera-
ture. In 1827 he w.is fanvus as tb
author of the most popular novel oi
d the day, "Vivian Grey," aad as per
haps the most consuniate daudy in all
* England. His gorgeous waistcoat.-
t and elaborately oiled ami curled loi k>,
his profuse jewelry aud grand airs,
"vere at once the euvy of the fops ami
a the scorn ol the sensible.
But young Disraeli's dandyism wa
il only skin deep. In part it was the re
( suit of his Oriental tastes—to the last
II his preference lor the gaudy and taw
dry were marked—aad iu part it was a
mere veil for his more serious purposes,
" deliberately assumed and consciously
e worn. This is a clever young fellow
who would amount to sometning, if he
t only less foppish, th »ught the world ;
b but he, conscious of the possession ol
r brilliant talents and cherishing a lofty
U ambition, was only amusing himself
I v> hile biding his time. Several other
s novels followed "Vivian Grey," of
if which ' Contarini Fleming," "Con
i- ingsby" aud 'Tancred" were the most
not ble. But literary fame was not
t his goal; be aspired to the possession of
b power, and endeavored to obtain a seat
in Parliament. After several unsuc
s cessful attempts, he at length was re
y turned as member for Maidstone, as a
1 "Tory-Radical," whatever that meant.
- A characteristic anecdote is told of
a hi in at this time. Lord Melbourne
0 said to him somewhat superciliously,
1 "Well, Mr. Disraeli, what, is your ide-«
1 in entering Parliament; what is your
3 ambition ? "To be Prime Minister of
I England, my lord," was the reply,
i? There was apparently small chance of
i such an ambition being realized.
1 The beginning of his Parliamentary
- career was the reverse of auspicious.
1 The House of Cominans is not an easy
s body to sfteak iu, being intolerant of
all display and labored flights of elo
f quence Something iu Mr. Disraeli's
s manner drew out jeers and coughs be
t fore he had spokeu five minutes, al
y though the custom is to listen kindly
3 to a maiden speech, however bad, and
i after a little the speaker was obliged to
i sit down with these words: "I am not
l at all surprised, sir, at the reception I
' have received. (Continued laughter.)
I have begun several things uianv times
f —(iaughier)—and I have succeeded at
last. (Fresh cries of' Question.') Ay,
sir. and though I sit down now, the
5 time will come when you will hear
1 nte." In no wise discomposed by his
' first failure be spoke often, and after
awhile the H u-e did hear him, until
in ten years he became the best debater
in that body, the one speaker who was
" never dull, and was always listened to
with delight.
I In 1839 he married the widow of his
former colleague, Mr. Windom Lewis.
She brought him a handsome estate,
5 was devoted to his fortunes, and beiug
' a woman of rare culture and social posi
tion did much to promote his rapid rise.
After the death of lord George Ben
tick ho became the acknowledged j
• : leader of the Tory party in the Hi use |
| of Commons, was Chancellor of the !
Exchequer under each «>f lord Derby's!
! three administrations. Prime Minister .
in 1868, holding office for one year, [
i and a<rain from 1874 to 1880 It is .
! not necessary to give his political his- >
tory more in detail, for it has been |
very fully written in books that are ac- '
] cessible to everybody.
! As men usually estimate success, no j
man ever achieved a more splendid i
| success than the obscure Jewish boy I
who rose to be Prime Miust. r of Eug- ;
j land, a member of the proudest aris-1
J toeracy iu the world. There wasnoth- j
in*. lacking to the outward signs of
sue. ess—honors, power and wealth
were his in as large measure as he
' chose to take them. He was the fav
, orite of his soverign aud the idol of
i his party. The glitter of all this may
well blind the eyes of the multitude to
the means by which it was obtained,
and conceal the radical unsoundness of
the character which was visible through !
out Lord Beacousfield's life. His ca-j
' reer cannot be better epitomized than
in these verses of Mr. Lowell:
1 General C. is a dretHe smart man,
He's ben on all sides thet give place? or pelf; !
But consistency still wuz a pirt of his plan— !
' lie's ben true to one party, an' thet is himself. :
I Not even his warmest admirers ever :
asserted that Lord Beaconsfield had
any settled convictions auv firm pur- '
pose, anv keen conscientiousness. He i
may not have been consciously dis
honest, but lie worshipped success, aud j
was bound to have it at any price, j
He had it—at the price of a sterling
character and the las ing esteem of
i men.
Unfortunatly for Lord Beaconsfield, 1
he lived in the same generation with i
Mr. Gladstone. In showiness and I
brilliancy he outshone the latter ; but •
iu solid ability, in breadth of states-j
mauship, in all the higher moral quali- i
■ ties of manhood, there is no compari- |
son to be made between them, Mr. |
Glad-tone has made as many political ]
somersets as Lord Beaconsfield ever!
did; but it is the general judgement
thai while the one changed his course
from mere policy, the other has ncvpr
changed but from conviction. It need
ed the contrast of just such a career as
Mr. Gladstone's to show the hollow
ness of Lord Beaconslield's, and to
teach the lesson that the highest, most I
enduring success cannot be won by a
br.lliant but shallow adventurer.

THE TALLEST VAN IN THE
WORLD.
Arrival in the City, Yesterday, of a
Curiosity from the Flowri/ Ki g
dom—Harnum'» Chinese Giant, and
Uoic he is Put Upon by Tailors and
Hoarding-House Keepers.
•VOJJJ Philadelphia Time* of April 2fl.
In tlu 1 Main Building of the Centen
iial Exhibition one of the first things
ihat catches the eye upon entering is a
colossal statue whose huge dimensions
•n wiider the sight and make dizzy the
•ruin as it Attempts to compass its tow
ring height which, in its imposing
niassi veness, compels all preconceived
i nicies of fabled genii and legendary gi
nts to dwindle and shrink into insig
nificance l»y the contrast Every one
who sees the statue is accust >med to
exclaim upon the ludicrousness of the
comparisons it affords to other statues
and living figures which on every side
surrouud it
Yesterday morning, at eight o'clock,
a close carriage drove up to the side
entrance of the Bingham House, from
which there was taken oat what ap
peared ot first to be a second edition of
the Centennial statue, except that this
second figure was that of a mammoth
Chinaman, who lived and moved on a
a pair of inconceivably long legs, in
p»-pj»er-und-salt trousers, and with a
breadth of back and shoulders that
found difficulty in getting into the hotel
doorway, which feat he finally aecom
pli.-lied by a low stoop, the upper part
of the door just grazing his back as he
did so.
As the colosal figure walked into the
office the guests, who had been quietly
sitting on benches and chairs reading,
with one impulse sprang to their feet,
and with faces the picture of speechless
astonishmeut, looked up at him. Slow
ly and calmly, like a towering pedestal,
he moved up to the office counter, look
ing upon the gaping crowd below with
a pair of quiet, dark eyes and reaching
out a baud, which might have been at
a distance mistaken for a Webster's
Unabridged Dictionary, took the p«»n
which the clerk handed him and wrote
in the register, in a plain, round hand,
Chang-yu-Sing; then below this, Parn
Young.
This done he turned calmly around,
the top of his head almost grazing the
office ceiling, and giving some instruc
tions to 'Parn Young' about the lug
gage wus escorted to the elevator,
which he entered in the game manner
he had entered the hotel doorway—by
stoopiug—and seating himself on the
groaning cushion was 'elevated' to
room No. 241, on the third floor, to
which place 'Parn Young' and his lug
gage soon followed.
The colossal figure was Chang, the
Chinese Giant, whose form and figure
has been extensively represented on
hand-bills and posters on dead walls
and fences and in street cars and in
newspaper advertising columns by Mr.
Barnutu's agents during the past few
weeks. These pictures represent him
about twice as tall as the average man.
F >r once the advertisement falls short
of doing him justice. The effect upon
spectators as they enter his room and
he rises and stands before them in all
bis towering heiirht cannot be likened
to anything else than the sensation pro
duced when one stands before the statue
in the Centennial Building. There is
one difference, however. The statue is
inanimate, lifeless. Chang is an affa
ble, courteous, educated, gentlemanly
living creature, with the best of man
ners. His right hand sparkles with five
huge diamond rings, one of them a pres
ent from the Emperor of Austria, bear
ing the Imperial crest; another a pres
ent from the late Emperor of Russia,
and the rest presents from nobles and
people of different countries in the old
world which Chang has visited. He is
a thorough scholar, speaking seven dif
ferent languages, among them the Eng
lish with the fluency of a native. His
height is within fourinchesof nine feet;
his weight is exactly 364 pounds. He
is not a fleshy man as most giants are,
but spare in proportion to his build,
lie has been in the show business for
twenty years and has seen all the coun
tries of the world and all the noted
people. He is a high-priced giant, be
cause he is imposed upon everywhere.
To tailors he is a prize, to landlords a
terror. In New York he went to get
measured for a suit of clothes which at
the most extravagant calculation would
not have cost the most average man
over S6O, but the tailor charged him
$lB5. In the same city, when he first
arrived there two months ago, bis
agent procured board for him at a down
town restaurant. The proprietor made
him pay $4.75 for one meal and told
him, after he had paid his bill, that he
could not board him at that rate, as he
would break him up in a month if he
attempted to do it. Subsequent, nego
tiations with the agent induced him to
take him at the rate of S2OO a month,
but in three weeks' time the proprietor
pleaded with the ageut to be released
from the contract, as Chang waseating
him out of house aud home. .
