Notes and Comments.

-The Danube provides an easy passage to the centre of the Balkin Peninsula and even to Austria ; and Russia, the avowed enemy of the independence of the Balkan atates, asks that the provisions of the Ber- lin Treaty, which close the Danube to the passage of war vessels of any nation, while leaving it opeu to commercial vessels, shail be so far relaxed in her favor as to allow of her young naval aflicers learning to pilot the river. In effect, Russia Austria, (rer- many and the Balkin States to modifiy a treaty which she has already broken by conveying munitions of war through the Dardanelles, in order to allow her certaim advantages in preparing to make war vpon them in the future.

—The Daily News correspondent at Odessa reports a steady movement of Kus- sian troops westward. He says: ‘*Tem- porary barracks have been provided in al! military counties between here ard War- It is not known, however, where the

saw. | troops will concentrate. The mi'itary of- ficials are retivent and the local

press is forbidden to allude to the matter. The movements are directed by CGen- eral Viadimeroff at Kieff and Gourkoff at Warsaw, two of the ablest tactitiens in the army. The admiralty has ordered that a)] the large vessels of the Rustian Steam Naviga- tion and Trading Company, as well aa the volunteer fleet, be equipped with poweriul davits, like men-of-war. These preparations have given rise to many war i umors.

—One of the American commissioners who has been out in the Behring Sea esti mates that eight out of every nine of the seals killed in the water is lost. Thus a catch of twelve hundred seala would repre- sent the death of ten thousand. The other commissioner is said to be a little more con- servative in his view, but he holds that the saved animals are only in the proportion of one to six. Mr. Dawson, the Canadian who is on the commission, and is ** sup- posed to represent Victoria's opinion ie- garding seal killing,” bolds in a general way that the Canadian poaching is doing no harm, and that seals are quite as numerous as ever they were. Sir George Baden- Powell, the other British commissioner, is reported to hold views more nearly akin to those of the American commissioners, It is thought that when tie commissioners have reported all their observations and conclusions to their governments, the Pre- gkient of the Swiss Republic will be select- ed as the finai arbitrator of the questions now in dispute.

—According to Hon, Carroll D. Wright, the noted Washington statistician, from 1867 to 1887, inclusive, there were granted in the United States 328,616 decrees of divorce, the increase being steady and rapid yearly, showing an increase of 17 per cent. in the 20 pears, in which the pop- ulation increased only 60 per cent. Of the 228,716 divorces granted in the 20 years specified, 216,176 were granted on the peti- tion of wives. ‘The duration of the married time is also an interesting study. In the period named it averaged 8 97 years for the men and 9 27 years for the women. The statististics gathered by Mr. Wright do not bear out the assumption that there is so great a migration from one State to another to obtain divorces as tas been generaliy thought. Less than ZO per cent of the par- ties are divorced jiu other States than those in which they were married. Mr. Wrizht concludes that he believes it possible to properly restrict divorce, and while thus re- stricting it he would render marriage more difficult by making the guilty party to indiscreet and hasty unious amenable to criminal law.

—Referring to the exports of eggs for Canada, the Liverpool Post of September 7th says :

“The importation of Canadian turkeys and chickens was @ prominent feature of the last Christmas market, but it is not so well known that a very large and growing trade is being carried on in eggs. ‘Thanks to the ‘‘cold storage” now universal on Atlantic liners, it is possible to deliver Canadian eggs in Liverpool in a condition that will compare not unfavorably with the best Irish produce. During the months preceding the 3lst of July no fewer than 9,000,000 eggs were shipped from the St. Lawrence to Liverpool, Glasgow and Bristol, and they have been fetching almost the best price in the market, above 7s. per long hundred being the average price realized. It is clear, therefore, that the Canadian egg trade threatens formidable competition with at least the lower classes of foreign eggs, such as those brought from Russia, Germany and France, while so great is the consuming power of this country, so far as eggs are concerned, that anything like overstocking is hardly a possibility. The total import of eggs into England during the last year was 1,234,949,520, the value being £3,428,802.”

we Y. M. C. A. Meeting.

A meeting of members of the Y. M, C. A. was held last evening for the purpose of approving of the action of the executive in arranging an agreement with the Charlotte- tuwn Athletic Association, and to adopt the terms of agreement, which had already been done at a meeting of the members of the C. A. A.

The articles of agreement were read elause by clause, and adopted in that way, and afterwards were adopted en bloc.

The agreement is for the purpose of allowing the C. A. A. the use of the large upper hall of the Y. M. C. A. to be fitted up as & gymnasium. All Association privileges, such as reading room, parlor, ete, to be also given the members of the C. A. A. if they wish to use them, without extra charge. Each Association will man- age its own busiuess through its own Ex- ecutive, and though in the same building and enjoying the same privileges, will con- tinue separate organizations.

The agreement will be binding until Dec. 31st, 1892, and as long after as may be mutually agreed upon.

Literary Notes.

**Mr. Beecher as 1 Knew him,” is an at- tractive title, and under it Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher begins her series of personal reminisences vi her husband in the October Ladies Home Journal. In a delightfully frank manner she tells of her first meeting with Mr. Beecher, and how he looked; their courtship and engagement; how he earned his engagement ring; his first ser- mon and early religious beliets. The Home Journal for October is absvlutely crowded wilh good things.

Harper’s New Monthly Megazine for Oc- ‘ober has, in the first place, a most inter- esting illustrated article on ‘Cairo in 1890,” by Constance Fenimore Woolson. Then there is a second instalment of ‘*Let- ters of Charles Dickens to Wilkie Collins.” **The Art Student’s Legend of New York” and ‘“‘Glimpses of Western Architecture” will be specially interesting to artists and architects, while **London-- Plantagenets” must attract all those who have a taste for antiquarian and historical research. The stories are as good as they usually are in this excellent magez ne, while the editors’ departments are always attractive.

The Nineteenth Century for this month c ntains articles ty Gladstone, the Marquis of Lorne, Archibald Forbes,and Hon. John Fortescue. Imperial Federation is discuss- ed by Lord Brassey from an English point of view, and by Andrew Carnegie, from an American point of view.

The Westminster Review contains an- other very readable and interesting article by Theodore Stanton on Abraham Lincoin. The Malthusiam Doctrine is discussed by A. J. Ogilvy. Of the remaining ariic es that upon Christopher North will be par- ticularly interesting to men of literary tastes.

Dogmatic Teaching.

Str,—Your correspondent, professing ) himself a disciple of Douglas Jerrold, evi- dently desires to be considered as one cap-: able of reasoning on important questions, ' especially in railing against dogmatic ts ach- ing, while in so doing he betrays the most unpardonable ignorance of dogmatic teach- | ing and the principles upon which dogma is: based. It is certainly a disagreeable under- taking for any one to extricate this in-

. | dividual from the fcetid mire of infidelity,in

which he so miserably wallows ; and I nae my

such an offensive creature. This idea of accepting «a dogma is, as if it were, a mere swallowing of any assertion, nude though it idea well calculated to show the narrowness of his prejudiced mind. He impudently asserts that dogmatic teaching discourages enquiry and rebukes doubt, By this assertion he does nothing more than exhibit his ignorance of what dogma really is, aud of the friendly relations ex- isting between dogma and science. If he were acquainted with the writings of Augustine, of Thomas Aquinas, of Bona- venture, or Suarez, as well as of many others, he would think otherwise. He would then understand the ‘relation be- tween dogma and science, and thus become aware of the fact that dogma is is the great- est friend, and nobilitating promoter of science. . ¥

With an air of impunity he declares that nothing should be accepted unless sub- stentiated by reason. Consequently we must consider him as rejecting every prop- osition his reason caunot comprehend. Now, as he has signed himself ** Catholic,” he must, if he wishes to be consistent, a‘- mit that in God there are three divine

persons. But can he prove this from = sele reason, independent of revelation? He) cannot. But according to him, whatever.

is not proved from reason must be rejected. Consequently he deniesthe Trinity. By denyingthe Trinity he must deny the Incarnation, for if there be not more than one person in God, the second person could not have become man. Then, by denying the incarnation, he rejects the Christian religion and even the very foun- dation of Christianity. Thus far, we have followed him to the Pagan quarter, but we wil! follow him still further. He says there is no knowledge except what is had from reason. Where will this assertion place him? We will now see, A_ person who ressons, proceeds from theknownto the unknown, because from known premises he ' must draw his conclusions, which as yet_ were unkown to him. But how does he’ acquire a knowledge of his premises? If from reason, then he must go back to for- | mer premises from which the latter are drawn, and thus he will be compelled final- ly to accept some proposition or premise which he cannot demonstrate from reason. Otherwise he will proceed to infinity, and thus there will be no first premise. But if there be no first, there will be no second nor third, and so on, and consequently no reasoning, no conclusion and no knowledge of any kind—a flagrant absurdity.

Again, if it were true that\me knowledge can be had except from reason, it would be equally true that a being that does not rea- son can have no knowledge. Reasoning, I have said, is a proceeding from the known to the unknown. But to God nothing is unknown; therefore, He dves not proceed from the known to the unknown, and con- sequently God's knowledge is not had by reasoning. Now, according to your corres- pondent’s position that there is no knowl. edge without reasoning, it would follow that in God there is no knowledge. But by denying knowledge to God he denies what is essential to the Deity, and conse- quently he repudiates the very existence of God. Thus we have him classed among atheists of the worst class-- with David Hume, for example, whose atheistic ten- dencies, by the way, were recently exposed in your columns, and whose history is now being intruded by the educational author- ities on the youthful minds of P. E. Island.

But let us _ still follow your correspondent on his dismal track. He denies the _ existence of God_

By this he denies the existence of the First Cayse, and consequently of all secondary causes, and all effects. From this it follows that he does not admit even his own existence,

written his correapondence? It would be well for P. KE. Island if he and his likes had exis‘ed elsewhere than in our midat. This is not the place to show the relation between belief and knowle?ge, and so I will leave it ‘ss As regards the +ssertion, however, that belief being a part of knowledge, ig in- ferior to it, we could say with as much propriety that man, being a part of the animal creation, is i-ferior to an animal. I always consider maw as superior ty» the brute creation, tlieugh your correspondent from his mode of reasoning, would think otherwise.

Before concluding, Mr. Ed‘tor, I must ask pardon of the public for using the term “Catholic” in connection with this individual. I could not well avoid it as he hed hypo- critcally signed himself with that name. I may say in justice to the term, that there is the same if nct a worse relation hetween the sentiment of vour correapondent’s letter and the name with which it is signed, as there would he between a letter written before Lucifer’s throne in the lower regio: s and the signature (if it were possible) of Michsel the Archangel.
