The Bap i Thi tevens—Did Be ¢ a Catholic ’—Did He Go w Purga- ory! [From the New York Tablet, Sept. 5.) ‘The Philadelphia Universe, which is the ablest, as it is the oldest Roman Catholic paper «ving 4u account of the last ters of Cuarity, ased himself gave He died in a few minutes the sacrament. Had he during bis long life &vy predilections for the Cathotic faith! Be taat pO may, he died a son of Pins 1 lism expunges before its actmi tain. God rest his soul.’ This is a iarge concession. If (which we deny) “Baptism expunges allsius which are on the soul before its admicistration,” and “salvation is cerfain™ to the baptized. what be- comes of the contingent siate of Purgatory, and what need of the appended prayer, “God rest his soul”! It will be seen that “baptism,” not Ubrist, expunges sin, according to this ex- tract. This is consistent with the claim of the Roman priestbocd: but certainly there is no need of prayer for souls where “salvation .is certain.” We are glad to find our contempor- ary standing on Protestaat ground.

The dispensing with Purgatory and prayers for the dead in the case of such is very far from placing uson Protestant ground. We would inform the Protestant Churchman that it is Christ who saves in baptism, and that there is no baptism without Him. Betting on Elections—A Saie Wager. [From the Louisville Courier.)

A number of New Adventists were aboard the trai, returning from ome of their religions demonstrations. at which the doctrine that this world would wind up its affairs about the first of the new year had been extensively held to.

Hardily had this sage prediction been uttered when s big Kentuckian on the other side of the aisle, who bad heard the last speaker rather indistinctly, jumped to bis feet, and bringing down his fist, smouted : “I'll bet you twenty- five dollars he don’t carry Kentucky.” In five minutes the whole car was im ® roar as the joke went around, and the discussion was abruptly wound up, leaving the enthus- instic Corncracker very much astonished and puzzled at the reswit of his share of it Evrorgzax News.—Mr. Roeback, the Tory Teiterated aud east at the recent dimmer at Sheffield, the don Times of yesterday takes bim sharply to to task, and Says that “the insult has been re. y.

He was last winter elected an honorary member of the Washington Cor- respondents’ Club. red.
