Mrs. Peter aud Mrs. Jake Shuck from Marion county, former resident* of W«»t In a late issue of the Portland Telegram Muriel Gray, alias Chas. Griesen, has a laudatory poem on Ingersoll, in which he seems to be worried as to whether the great unbeliever died without hope. He says: “And died he without hope, in unlailh of that life beyond, that love ami hope has reared upon the tears of grief? Who answers yea?” If Mr. Griesen is as much a student of Ingersoll as he is an admirer, he cauuot fail to remember that Robert G.bas answered this question himself. lie is respectfully referred, to Ingersoll’s funeral address over the grave of his brother, the identical spejRjh be ing read over his own dead body.

He cannot hope there is a par adise and consign the dead body of his brother to the tomb “without hope.” What a poor, pitifully weak and vacillat ing philosophy that is. tn Ills attacks on the bible bis mistake was iu con founding tho things said about the bible with what the bible actually teaches, lugersoll’s place in history has been very aptly designated in a recent issue of the ' Oregonian, in the following language: Col. Ingersoll was au ablo lawyer and a brilliant orator; but when he chose for himself the career of an assailant of the religious principle in man, he made as great a mistake as a gifted man can make, llie temperament and talents fitted him for a popular idol and equipped hint for great usefulness. But he dies loved by a few, admired by thousands, feared anil hated by millions. He was not content to doubt, he must revile. It was not enough for him to disbelieve, he must blaspheme. Religion, which is the most sacred possession of the masses of man kind, appeared to him the fitting mark of coarse invective and ribald jest. From a Rowing like this it is vain for any man, however gifted,toexpect a harvest of use fulness. Ingersoll was not only a misfit in a world of religious beings, but he was a failure in the world of intellect. The ideas be clothed in the garments of bis fervid eloquence and entrancing image ry ate as outworn and almost as old as tire superstitions be assailed. He brought no new thought to the spiritual life of bis time, ana he missed all that the true skeptic-apostle of rational thinking hail to teach him. Renan and Voltaire, Ro- rnaues and Fiske, lived in vain for Iu- gersoll, as Jesus aud Isaiah had lived before them. He knew much about many things—of religion he knew noth ing. Yet this very tiling of which he knew least of all he aspired to teach. And all he taught was irreligion. Measured by evory standard but one, Ingersoll was a good man. He was gen erous, brave, faithful. Beloved Ins work, and that is a great thiug. lie loved to bring happiness to those about him, and that is a greater thing. Greater than either, he saw what ho thought the truth, and he pursued it loyally and fear lessly. But the world be looked at through hia imperfect glasses was not the real world. He saw textual errors and mutilated records, and he thought they were the bible. He saw an appari tion of ancient error, aud he thought it was God. Ho saw hypocrisy, aud lie mistook it for righteousness. He saw counterfeits and he had no eye for the genuine. He saw superstition and he thought it was religion. The ethical purposes of nature in man, ae scienco lias revealed them, were to him an un discovered country. It is a trite criticism that Ingersoll gave men and women nothing to replace the bread of faith he took from tbeir hungry bunds. It ia a moat grotesque misconception that he lived before hi* time. The fatal thing about fngereoll, the rock on which his life made ship wreck, ia that the deepest and dearest convictions of the human heart were to him as though they had no existence, that the spiritual truth* which poet* have divined and science laboriously spelled out, sounded in his imperfect ear like sounding brass and tinkling cymbal. He had the best intentions. But the thing* he could not hear and see are music in the heart of man, and make the wide world beautiful. Probate Court- Estate of Lisetta Miller.
