“TIGE” AND THE PH0H1
Uncle John Refers to Pearson’s
“Old Ook Tige” and Asks
Some Questions.
To The Newark Journal:
I see that the Prohis are deter
mined to keep up the old discus
sion, therefore, 1 ask for space in
The Journal that I may elucidate,
as well as lubricate their ideas, if
they have any. My friend Pear
son was out about three weeks,
presumable to catch his second
wind, judging by the length of his
last article. It is so voluminous
that I have to take it by para
graphs.
Paragraph 1, tells something or
one of his horses that he says
balks sometimes. Sometimes
horses seem to have more judg
ment than the driver, and object
to being driven into a mud hole
when they see that they could go
around it better. My friend should
make “horseology” one of his
studies. lie also claims to have
owned a dog by the name of
“Tige” (which is very interesting
reading in a prohi discussion) that
got to be an awful liar, therefore.
I may refer to the old dog occa
sionally in this essay. Now we
will take into consideration para
graph 2. In this my frieud looks
up in despair and asks The Jour
nal readers if they think that in
terrogations, criticism, or jesting,
is argument. I say that it is
sometimes appropriate. 1 pre
sume that you remember what
that great philosopher Benjamin
Franklin said. J will not quote
his words on you now, but will
say, answer a friend according to
his comprehension. Now for par
agraph 3. Nothing in it. Noth
ing answered. No new argument.
Therefore not worthy of notice.
In paragraph 4, my friend
wants to run clear of Theology,
which is well for him. lie says
that I asked him bluntly as to his
position relative to divine life.
This 1 deny, and call his attention
to the habits of old “Tige.” Par
agraph 5 is as thin as the skin of a
maiden's dream, without as much
substance as the dream itself.
Therefore it is “tabled’’. Para
graph 0, my friend says that 1
said that ‘‘Many preachers” had
decided that Hell was only a myth,
etc. 1 deny saying “Preachers”
in my former essay, and call your
attention to the dog again.
Paragraphs 7, JS and U seems to
be some kind of a sermon, and 1
am not scholar enough to tell j
whether it is Prohi-ic, Ilebrayic
or Arabic. As they do not touch
the subject of discussion we will
not mention them.
ilii paragraph 10 m.v triend says
jiat lie is not much concerned
I\)out Hell, lie says, however,
that in justice to humanity, there
must be a llell. Expressions like
the abGve surely makes the God
ess of Justice hide her face in
shame. Paragraphs il and 12,
sermon continued. Nothing re
gal ding the matter at issue.
Paragraph 18. In this lie says:
“If there is uo Hell we have no
authority ft>r a Heaven.” I won
der if all prohis think that Hell is
the foundation of Heaven. He
says further,that we have as much
evidence that there is a Heaven
and a Hell as we have that there
is an Earth. In all probability he!

some castor oil, a neighbor poured
the acid into a glass through mis ;

A peculiarly sad accident, which
had a fatal termination, occurred

nights ago. Mr. Kruse and his
wife had been to an oyster supper,
and returned home to dress for a
dance which was to follow. On
becoming ready to leave, Mrs.
Kruse took up a pistol which Mr.
Kruse wanted to carry, and ob

playful seutlle which followed the
pistol was tired, and the ball pass

immediately.
