Governor Colq iilt, while in Brooklyn
' a short time ago attended Talmago's
church. His opinion is entirely differ
ent from that usually expressed by the
papers. He says there is nothing sea
aational, giod old fashion gospel
preached, rather less action than a good
many others. He says there is no osten

rw now at work oo their departments
making ready fur the fair. The grounds
wer euiarjcu last year am the race
track improved, and ass iranccs have bcrn
t'uen that many fine horses will be here
iCht fan. Another good feature of
the fair will be the encampment of tho
tkird regiment on tho grounds during
the fair week. Many new attractions

publish tbe list of marshals.
Tbe next fair till be held on October

jfmuinf, the . week after the Ihleigh
fair and just beforo the Richmond fair.
This year there will bo no conflict, nnd
parties who desire, can visit nil. This
arrangement could not be made daring
pteyious exhibitions, but tbis time every
things work right. Another evidence
that the fair till be a success.
In 1S77 Jacksonville Florida, bad only
1700 inhabitants. Now, it has 11,000.
This is owing to the delightful climate
which attracts visitors, who, when they
once get there, are so pleased as to
prefer to remain. The population is
composed of the people from all parts of
the couolry. Probably the fact that
Mrs. Stoire lives there also, has some
thing to do with its rapid growth.
It ia said that tbe Republicans do
not know whether to vote for the ap
propr'ution kill now before Congress or
not. Tho bill does not abolish super
visors or marshals, but provides for the
expenditures of the money so specifically
that none of it can be used to traosport
troops to tbe polls or to pay supervisors
and marshals. Tbe bill even goes
farther aod say! that none of the money
appropriated shall be so used. Tbe
RcDublicans think tb.it if tbis bill is
i
passed and approved by tbe President
their chances for success are small in
t'le cooiiiu clecti n, and if they do
nut pass, tho Republican party will be
held responsible for blocking the wheels
of government, and thiuk correctly. If
they chooso to defeat a bill becanso
the majority of Congress do not see fit
to leave the expenditure of the money
t) the discretion of partisan officials,
then let tbe responsibility bo on them.
The Democrats arc masters of the situa
tion, and should not give up that advan
tage. Mr. Fry e of M line, one of the stal
warts, says ho will vote for the army
appropriation bill.
BOH IMiEItSOl.L'S FAITH.
WHAT Mil. IlKKCIIEIl FINDS IN TIIK SIM
MON AT r.IlON 1NMKKS LI.'S ITXKUAL.
"The root element of faith," said Mr.
Beeobcr yesterday, "is in the imagina
tion. The tendency of our age, vr in
certain lines of it, is a a rising tendency
among tbe educated to give to the evi
dence of tbe physical senses not only
greater weight than comes with the im
agination, but to deny to the imagina
tion all use except that of producing
pleasure. To a certain extent we are
indebted for this to the perversion of re
ligious views. Tho ascetic school ban-
iklicd the imagination' from religion and
made it a mere minion of pleasure and
turned the thoughts of men to what arc
called weightier things. We ore told iu
the serious words of the ascetic teachers
that life is too important to trifle nway.
They have stripped off the wins of the
imagination t make quill-i to write their
dull treatises withal. There is also
danger from the scientific or materialis
tic tendencies of the age, the votaries of
which hold that all things must be proven
by tangible evidence that the soul is
but matter. B it taking the materialis
tic view that the soul is but matter, it is
matter so different from ordinary matter
that it is to be judged by entirely dif
fcrcnt laws, lilt without takiug that
ground and adhering as Ida to the
ground that it is a spiritual matter, the
necessity is much stronger for applying
the true principle in dealing with its con-
sidcratinn. J here is a growing ten
dency towards materialism in tho Ger
man mind, nnd this has long been the
tendency of the French mind. It has
made inroads into the sturdy old Kit-
gliti mind, and it has with tco thousand
other immigra-jls that we Could have
spared come across the seas and gained
a lootnoi j Here. iSut to apply to the
imagination tho same rules you apply t
things that have no imagination is impo
litic, unphilosophical aod unwise. There
are a great many men who say with
Tjrndall : 'If you present God as poem
I can accept it, but il" you present hi u

and it is not only the product of the
imagination of one tnnn, but of all the
nations through the growth of time. It
is the imagination that has booo reaped
and threshed and winnowed and grovru
into me very nrena til l;le. It is not
any poem or notion; it ii the wotk, the
final wotk of the imaiiination of the
human race, spcak'ng all hnguages,
under all governments; it is the result
to which men come that death dnes i't
slp human life; it goes on tinendiaj."
Mr. P, cchcr here spnke of the recent
address of Robert Wcrsoll at the fu
neral of his brother and in tbis relation
said of Mr. Ingcrsoll : "He is a man of
great merit and power and he has made
himself nerbaps as widely known as ai
most any other man in tbis generation
bv his contending of, 1 will not say re
livion, but of those views of religion
handed down to us by the teachers of
Christiaoitv. He has ereat power of
the imagination a flaming wit and
has said a great many things, not wise,
but by which wise men may profit. He
has uttered a ereat many trilicisn s on
the suHect of Christianity which are
just critirisms, yet taking his views of
relieion us a wnole tney lack complete
ness; it is a special plea, a fault-finding
plen, which sees only one side. Now,
while I accord to him tbe extremes! lib
erty of discussion and disclaim any right
to interfcro with this liberty, we have a
right to whatever of instruction there
may be, and I think he can instruct us
by bis latest utterance. lie has lost a
brother dearly beloved, a good man
who lived happily with bis family and
was respected by the community, and ut
Unit brothers funeral Mr, Ingersoll
made one of the most exquisite, yet one
of the nn st sad and mournful sermons
that 1 ner read. I am g .ing to read
sonio nf it t you."
Mr. Reedier here read in the most ef
fective mum. er nearly llie whole of Mr.
Iiigi rsoll's funeral oration as reported
in the papers at t!i time and comment
ing nn it sni.l : "Was ever anything ut
tered by the lips of man more pathetic?
Bat wo Lave not ni.ly a hope, we have
the certainty we kuowo that if ourcartby
Ubrrriiw 1 i is lost we nave a building not
made with hands eternal in the Leavens.
To us the saeit v. dee comes under bur
den, under sorrows, in persecution, in
the prison dungeon the voice of the
spirit and the bride says c me and the
voice of the whole Church of God cries
out to ts 'it is rea', it is real come;'
nod when this noble brothi r of
Mr. Ingersoll felt the touch ol death, I
doH't doubt that he felt the touch of
(I d the second time, and saw in the
eternal world things which he had
counted but shadows here. Fwei scep
ticism and that which had been provoca
tion of scepticism in others iys when it
comes to the death of hope : 'In spite
of doubts or di'gnas, let us hope that
there is a bct'er world,' " In conclu
s
sion Mr. Reedier uigad his hearers to
hold fast to the faith of their fathers
snd never to doubt the reality of divide
love or immortality.
