Tbe subject for discussion was one tbat tbe

Tuesday, George Williams entertained tbe

deacon who was doing tbe usher act. The
Mayor requested George to speud the next
twenty days of bis valuable time in perlorating
tbe city real estate. He is sustaining tbe
honors of the whole city chalngang.
The city court has not yet recovered Its

About 9 o'clock at night Wardlaw was

SI years old. lie had billed Three men during
his lifetime, which he finally ended by killing
himself.
He was born iu South Carolina and was a
nephew of .Johu C Calhoun. He lived there ^
uutil he was years old, and then he fought I
a duel io which he killed his adversary. The ?jj
friends of the dead man made so much trou- I
ble for young Lilly thnt he slid out of that 3
country and came to California. At first he 5
lived at Benicia, where he knew well the H
young Capt. U. S. (jraut. Each of the men *
had a good horse of which he was very proud ai
and they used to meet on a certaiu piece of
good road outside the town and match the
mettle of their horses. Lilly joined the first
rush to tbe newly found gold fields in ls4!>,
and prospered 60 well at the business of gold
digging that iu a year or two he had acquired
a lalr-slzed fortune. But one day In the summer
of 1SS6 he quarreled with a man in Marysville.
Both drew their guns. Lilly had his

tol exploding in his clinched hand as he l'ell V
totheiloor, and the bullet whistling past ?
Lilly's bead so near that K singed his hair. (V
Lilly was arrested, and it cost him every cent *
of his fortune to defend himself in the long th<
trials that followed. Hut at last he came off
clear, and then he went down to San Francis- ex
co and lived tbere for several years. For C0]
some months he roomed with John iMackay,
at a time when tiiey were both so poor thai ou
half the time they dirt not baveeuough to eat. .
Their stock of clothes rau low, and at one oe
time they bad between them only one pair ol au
presentable trousers, which they took turns
in wearing, oue going out and the other remaining
in seclusion until the return of the .
fully clad one. W1
Then Lilly came down to San Diego and for gt
a time lived tbere and in lower California,
miniug, making money and losing it, getting yjn
into trouble and out again and living 10 the "
full the life of tbe time and the place. When
tbe civil war broke out be went to Texas and
bought horses and mules for tbe Confederacy.
He bad a number of tights with Apache Indians,
in one of which be was wouuded and
came near being made a captive. After the
war he returned to southern California. X<
In 1873, at Spadra, be bad an argument with .
the Rev. Benjamin Standerfer, who was a La
leading pastor in the Christian denomination ?k
In southern California. The argument, which
begaa in a difference of opinion about certain ho
tenets of the Chrlbtlan church, grew hotter
and bolter, branched out into personalities, no
and at last Standerfer drew back bis fist and c_
attempted to strike Lilly. The latter bad his ur
gun out in a dash, and, as tbe preacher's an
knuckles touched his tace, Lilly sent two bul- .
lets through Standerfer's chest killing him IS
instantly. The trial which followed was one
of the sensations of the Pacific coast. Lilly wt
was found guilty in tbe first trial, bul was acquitted
alter a second. This murder trial,
like the previous one, lost him his entire for- foi
tune, and he did not recoup himself further
ihor> ??-> aot enmicrh fop ? comfortable living. A1
His defense, of course. Id both cases was thai M
he bad acted la self-defence. But the last kill- w
Ing seemed to sober down his high temper,
aud he always kept the pistol with which be
did it as a remtuder that he must curb bis ha
spirit. It was with the same weapon thai he .
put au end to his own life nearly a quarter ol IS
a century later. He hinted no Intention of nn
suicide, and it Is supposed by his friends that uu
he had uo hope of recovery from his recent
paralytic stroke and merely wished to escape
the horrors of a prolonged old age as a bed- fin
ridden invalid.

SECRETS OF POMPEII.
Buried City Now Nearly Cleared ol
llohriu of Seventeen fen I n r its.
At last, after perhaps a century of
more or less intermittent work, Pompeii,.the
city of ancient Roman pleas- bii
are, has been practically cleared of the ha
volcanic debris of seventeen centuries.
Now, for the first time since that fata! *.
day whose awful happenings Buhver ia<
depicts so graphically?and doubtless
so truly?in his famous romance, the fin
forum, which was the central feature
of the place, aod the Strada dei Sepol- '
cri, the principal suburb, can be real

The earJy work of clearing tbe bis- pr
toric city, pursued with vigor uuder
Murat when he found himself tempo- I.
iarily installed as kiug of Naples, was I *
set back from time to time by new ?
eruptions of Vesuvius. As late as 18i!3
Miss Berry records in her journal:
"We set out, a large party, for Pompeii.
The drive of 14 miles is very dis- 'al
agreeable, notwithstanding the view of wi

last October (1822) have scarcely yet r"
oeeo swept to each side of the streets,
but are left on the road. Outside Pom- thi
peii it is half way up the horses' leys." g0(
Is'o such impediments now await the
traveler, aud a very prosaic and dis- wc
tiuctly dilatory train deposits him at an t?
unpretentious and not very cleanly
railway station.
.Except to the highly classical aud ul- Is
tra enthusiastic eye Jthe first impres- pa
sions of Pompii are disappointing. The
first place of interest which is passed is
the so called basilica, supposed to have
been used as a law court, but distinct
from the tribunals, which were at the bu
farther side of the forum, of which the yc
construction was not completed when
the city was covered up. The most
striking feature of this open space is f3
roino fho latnnln nf \,T?niiQ
Lut * cwv. r
A maiu street of Pompeii leading *
from the station is tbat known as the
Strada dell' Abondava, at the corner of :>c
which is to be seen the cbalcidicum, or
exchange, one of tbe most beautiful
buildings as yet revealed, its ceutrial
hall having been surrounded by
columns of Pariau marble. an'
In the stre-t of tombs, however, we Wi
ure upon more solid ground, for not a %e
few of the monuments bear the names pjj
and the busts of those to whose memory
they were erected. At the extreme end
of the strada is the so called Villa of j
Diomede, which has attractions alike
for the lover of fact and fiction, for
here were found the bodies of 17 wo- .?
men and children who had sought re- .
fuge under the portico, but were ap- iQf
parently suffocated. got
The amphitheater is even farther
away from the center of the town than
i lie sepoicri, anu 11 is ou iujs poiui mai r
recent excavations have beeu chiefly
directed, with very important results.
It must be remembered that Bulwer th<
Lytton was quite accurate in describing
ihe games which were in progress at
the time*of the fatal eruption of \V
Vesuvius which swallowed up both se
Pompeii and Herculaneum, and one of
the results of the works carried out
here is to show that the loss of life on [g
tha* occasion was less thau formerly ..
supposed. The people assembled at
the amphitheater had time to make
their eseape to the open country beyond.
Ht
Scarcely more thau 700 bodies have Co
been discovered, and the perfect state <.
iu which many of them were found is
at least negative evidence that time
would not have reduced others to im- Cu
palpable dust. The activity, however,
of the present Italian government will
not be relaxed until Pompeii has been pu
forced to give up all its secrets, and in
the meanwhile it is giving up its ?
treasures of marble, bronze and gol.i
and bringing to light, among other
facts, that portrait painting, for mural y
decoration, was practiced probably by *>h
Greek artists for their Roman patrons. ',ej

but nobody who has tried one will an
exchange it for the other kind.

J j highest power of life. It is life in its f
I; highest and most powerful exercise, j
lr ' Take the case of a man who has a large ,
J amount of faith in himself. That faith j
,^,<1j will give him a resoluteness of char- r
acter, an energy of will, a singleness r
cf eye, which will enable him to over- *
I come all difficulties. In the accom- \
i p'.islimeut of his object be will submit
j to any privation, and deny himself any j
^ jiudulgence; he will give his days to \
1 ! hard labor, ami his nights to anxious j
I | thought. He will inspire others with (
m u ! a conviction of his capacity, aud enlist
^ | their services on his behalf; and thus f
achieve results which others less en- j
. clowed with thisquality cannot hope to j
[ obtain. What but this personal faith s
i has actually removed mountains, and ^
cast trees into tbe midst of the sea. It j
was faith that enabled engineers to (
pierce tunnels through the Alps, to (

Npw that which a man has in others, and ,
which has the power of calling forth all
that is the best iu them. Such faith ,
vies ma^es objects of it great, develops
v in them tbe germs of goodness, aud
stimulates them to attaiu their ideal. (
A man must be believed in order to do (
ce_ his best. Contempt or indifference
ses in has always a tendency to diminish his
11 and power. Our Saviour himselfcould not
do ruanv miehty works among his own
w"111 people because they did not believe in
other It was the faith of people in him
know thai: enabled him to perform miracles
The in their behalf. "Believest thou that
I t * can do this?" was the crucial ques1
tion upon the right answer to which
lhis depended Christ's power. And so in
Goods every case, faith in a man, sympathy
with him sets all his faculties free for
, the efforts of which they are capable, :
gooas anj pro(juces results which astonish
himself. It is by such faith that all
the miglity reformations of the world

at the root of every good work.

WES Possef-9t,s the very nature itself of
that which is divine. This failh in
God is not a thing apart from our na- '

quality of our nature. It is the daily

make we become kings unto God ; we are inlatest

Tt is natural to wi*h to have dear
riends near in an hour of triumph, it
s still more an instinct of the heart to
viah this in the season of sorrow,

The soul of the Saviour was exceedng
sorrowful, even unto death. The
lour to which he had long been lookng
forward had arrived ; bnt it proved
o be intolerably bitter.
Grief has a double instinct; it seeks
solitude ; and Jesus removed himself a
itone's cast even from the three into
he depths of tbe grove; yet at the
lame time it seeks sympathy ; it is a
elief to it to pour itself 6ut into willngears;
and, therefore, Jesus wished
;hem to be near, that he might go to
:hem when tbe state of his overcharged
leart would alloy him. The disciples
ijhI need, besides, to nrav on their own
iccount. They, too had reached a
jrisis in Iheir fortunes where they
might suffer shipwreck, and again and
igain he urged them to watch and
pray, lest they should enter into temptation.
It was a golden opportunity for the
three, when they could have obtained
insight into the heart of their Master,
and might have reudered him service
which would been divinely recompensed
besides preparing themselves for
playing the man in the scenes which
were about to ensue. But it was a lost
opportunity. Tbey were near him in
Gethsemane, yet they were not with
him. Je3us had invited them to a degree
of confidence and intimacy bevond
what they had ever yet enjoyed;
but they could "not enter eo far into bis
secret. We wonder especially at St.
John. Heat least might bave kept
awake, although the other- two had
slept. He should have filled the place
of the augel who bad to come from
heaven to strengthen the Saviour because
there was not a man to do it.
St. John's loving and sensitive heart
you would havd expected to be all alive
and awake when he saw tbe state into
which his beloved Master bad fallen.
But even he succumbed to tne drowsiuess
of grief: and Jesus came seeking
sympathy and comfort and found none.
"Sleep on now," he said, "and take
your rest."
Christ still invites us into Getbsemane
When may he be said to do
so? When his cause appears to be in
desperation; when the world is all
tigaiust him, and his truth requires to
be maintained against the organs of
public opinion and the dead weight of
conventionalism ; when to confess him
associates us with the poor and despised,
while those whose good opinion
we have been accustomed to enjoy
wonder at us. In circumstances of

Never do we understand him so well,
never does his love shine so full upon
us, as when we are sacrificing honor,
comfort, pleasure for his sake. But
too often the opportunity is lost. Selfindulgence
in some form comes in. It
may not be a gross form ; the sleep of
the deciples in Gethsemane was very
pardonable, and our self-indulgence
may be something equally innocent.
It may be the reading of a book when
we ought to be eaving a soul; it may
be sitting in the comfort of homewhen
we ought to be on the track of the
homeless; it may be acquiescence in
tbe opinions and practices of the respectable
set to which we belong when
we ought to come out from them, and,
at the risk of being thought odd, or
even mad, offer our protest. A thing

*I.el Brotherly Love Cootinne." .
BY REV. J. B. WALKER, D. D. V
When the penitent believer is just- 9
titled, the love of God is shed abroad V
in his heart. Love is the lirst fruit of j
the Spirit. Christ says to believers,
"Continue ye in my love;" and St. 1
Paul's word-, which we have quoted, i
t.i! - ? ~ C '
are out ail ecuo or repeuuuu ui ^unsi o
workn. The believer loves God because
God first loved bira. The unspeakably
precious gift is to be cherished
and preserved as the riches tof
all our treisures aud the source of
brotherly love. The apostle says:
"Let brotherly love continue.' If we
do not retain it the fault is ours; so
don't hinder, don't drive it away. This
language surely implies that we may
hinder and expel this love from our
hearts. How may we do this? In
various ways. As it was, when we believed,
love was shed abroad iu our
hearts; so when we fall iuto doubts
our faith grows weak, and our love
grows cold. It is by living diligently
in the path of duty, and actively in tbe
use of the means of grace, we cherish
and keep warm in our hearts love to
God ana our brethren. M
Another cause for this hindrance to ?
brotherly love is that when misunder- M
standing arise between us and our ^
brethren we are too hasty in our conclusions
as to tbe nature and intent of
what our brother is said to have done
or said. We do not stop to inquire
about tbe surroundings and the motives
of our brother, but suddenly, like
a lucifer match, ignite into a blaze of
wrath, whereas a little patience, a little
investigation, yvould have cleared up
the matter, and pleasantly terminated
the difficulty.
Again, we sometimes fail to follow
the scriptural direction. We do not
first of all go to our brother alone in
f-ho anirif nf Inoe ?nH in interest of
peace, and talk with him, but talk with
A. B. aud C perhaps in an excited
aud bitter spirit. Such talks are most N
always unpleasantly exaggerated, and V
the case made worse than it was. Let ^
us in such cases do as the Master has
commanded, and most geuerally the
matter can be satisfactorily adjusted.
Then there are some who think more
bigbly of themselves tban they ought
to think, aud demand more consideration
than they deserve. Such are too
sensitive. They take as slights and
contempt words aud acts that were
never so intended.
The power and fruitfulnessof brotherly
love has not been fully appreciated,
nor as generally exercised as It should
have been. It is tbe grand (est of
discipleship?a test internally to us
and externally to all men. Cbrist did
not say, as some of his professed ministers
and disciples have done, "If ye
subscribe to certain creeds and standards,
all men shall know ye are Christ's
disciples." Or, if ye conform to certain
modes and forms of worship, are
Christ's disciples ; or if you have certain
ordars of men and certain forms
of Church government, ye are Christ's
disciples. No, but this he said : "By
"11 *>?An lrnAOf f hot Vfl a pa mv
4 LUIS SUU11 ua IUUU AUVir wum*V j N, M* V
disciples, if ye have love one to an- >
other." Had Christ's teaching been
heeded, the Church would have presented
an undivided front. With all
her energies concentrated she would
have marched forward with irresistible
steps to the moral conquest of the
world, and long ago tbe triumphant >
shout would have rolled up from a I
thousand landa, "Alleluia: for the I
Lord God omnipotent reigneth." But >
alas! instead of this devinely appointed I
plan, mere professed believers who bad v
a name to live, but were really dea<T, |
became narrow-minded, intolerant, per- I
secutinc bitrots. so tbat millions have \
been persecuted for righteousness'sake, 1
persecuted by aJl the cruel forms that
hntnan malignity could devise:
imprisonment, confiscation, banishment,
torture and death by the sword,
wild beast, and the flaming stake. In
more modern times' by the unspeakable
atrocities and horrors of the inquisition,
and by various acts of compulsory
conformity, and numerous legal disabilities,
to the unutterable wrong of
millions, aud to the unspeakable hurt
aud hindrance of Christ s cause. The
graud and gracious spectacle of milliousof
men lovingone another, in the
midst of this selfish and cruel world,
would have compelled belief in a religion
so unearthly, a religion that had
power to work such vast and blessed
results. The proof of this Is before us:
the Church has more love than ever
before, and more power, and more success.
She is doing not all her duty, but
far more than ever before along all lines
of evaugelical aggressiveness. She is
giviug millions for education, for
church building, for various noble
charities, and millions to send forth
and .sustain godly men and consecrated
women to far-off and long-benighted
nations to bring them to the glorious
light and liberty of the gospel. There
are fewer controversies, and the controversies
are less acrimonious and
bitter. Men are ceasing to believe that
men can be made Christians by compulsion.
Few now would imitate the
oigot who said : "My brother, do you
love the Lord?" and befere answer
could be made, doubled his first, and
said : "If you dou't, I will punch
you on the head, aud make you." No,
it i9 love that drives the Churches'
chariot wheels, and all resistance must
yield to love. So let brotherly love
continue, aud abound more and more.

Use and Abuse of Money.
There are many fellows at college .
who have money and use it well, but
the mere fact that a man has cash in '
his pocket does uot get him on to athletic
teams, or into college clubs or societies,
or at the bead of his class. It
helps him on if he's a good chap. It
holds him back if he isn't. Then by
and by, when you utt through college,
you will find it just the same in businesses
of all kinds. Money seems to
help a good man along and seems to be
the worst enemy of a bad man. So
that to think only of money first, and
then of doing line things with it after
it is gained, is putting the cart before
the horse. And, if you want to be in
the senate, it's the wrong way to go at
it to go down to South America and
work in u gold mine for 20 years simply
and solely to "raise the cash" for
the purpose of buying the votes of a
state, even if such a procedure were
moral and right, which is uuqustionably
not the case.
