M. Paul, whoso namo originally was Saul, and for tho chango of whioh to Paul no very satisfactory cause has yet boon assigned, was born at Tarsus, tho principal city of Cilioia. By birth ho was both a .Tow and a o'.tizou of Homo. Ho was of tho tribo of Bonjamin, and of tho scot of tho Pharisees. In his youth, it, appears, ho was taught tho art 01 trado of tout-making. It scorns to havo boen a custom among tho .Tows, ovon in tho higher ranks of life, along with a liboral education, to havo their sons also taught some mechanical trado. It is probable that Paul laid the foundation of thoso high literary attainments, for which ho was so otmnont in tho lat tor part of his life, nt his nativo city of Tarsus. Afterward be studied tho law of Moses and tho tradition of tho eldors, under the tutorship of Gamaliel, a celebrated rabbi at Jeru salem. Paul is not mentioned in the Gos pols, nor is it known whether he ever heard our Saviour speak, or saw him perform a singlo miracle. His name lirst occurs in thc Acts, at tho martyr dom of Stephen, to which he is said to have consented. On that occasion ho is called a young man, but wo are no where informed what was his precise ago. Tho death of Stephen was followon by a severe persecut ion of the church at Jorusalcm, and Paul then distin guished himself among its enemies by his activity and violence. Not content with showing bis hatred to tho Cospel in .Judea, hu obtained authority from tho chief priests to go to Damascus and to bring back with him bound any Jew ish converts to Christianity whom ho might find in that city. It was on this journey that his miraculous conversion took place. The circum stances attending it are recorded in tho Acts of the Apostles, and are frequently alluded to by himself in his epistles. Soon after Paul's conversion, and a call from tho voice of his Divine Master out of heaven to ninister in his Gospel, ho was baptized at Da masous and from thence went into Arabia, but it is not stated how long ho remained there. Afterward ho returned to Damascus. Tho boldness and success with which ho enforced the truths of Christianity so irritated tho unbe lieving Jews that they resolved to put him to death. Their design, howover, becoming known to tho disciples, they conveyed him pri vately out of Damascus and he went 1 > Jerusalem,. But at Jerusalem, the brethren not having heard of his conversion, at first refused to receive him, but being assured of it by Bar babas, they received and acknowl edged him as a disciple. He re mained among thom only fifteen days, and then wept, out on thc du ties ho waa, called to discharge. At J?rusalem, ns well as at Da mascus, tho zeal with which the Apostle preached brought down upon him the same vindictive spirit which ho had inflicted upon others, so that tboy here also consulted bow they might kill him. By adv ico of thc brothren he left the city and went from thence to Syria and Cilicia and faithfully preached that saine Cospel which be had formerly persecuted. Until tho timo just referred to, the preaching of Paul, as well as of tho other apostles and teachers, bad been confined to tho Jews. But tin extraordinary conversion of Conni lins, a Gentile, together with tho circumstances which attended it, fully convinced all tho apostles thal.I to the Gentiles also "God bad grant ed repentance unto life." Soon after this Paul came with Barnabas from Tarsus to Antioch, where both be gan to preach the Gospel. Hore their labors in tho Word were at tended with great success. Tho first Gentilo ohuroh was now established at Antioch. Here also it was where the disciples were first called Christ ians. When these two apostles had been thus employed about one year prophet, called Agabus, foretold an approaching famine which would affect tho whole land of Judea. On tho prospeot of this oalamity tlu Christians of Antioch made a contri ution 'for their brethren in Judea nd tho money was sent to thc elders t Jorusalcm hythe hands of Paul nd Barnabas. This famine took laco between tho fourth year of tho mperor Claudius's reign and the ccossien of Nero. It was about this time that 1'aul that extraordinary vision or nco, ns related in thc twenty - ond ohaptor of the Acta, and in urgently uoUimdnding lum to leave Jerusalem rind ' to go far abroad among ibo Gentiles. Tho flrat ?posto?ioal journey, and in company with Barnabus, is sup posed to have taken up a space of about two years. In the course of that time many wore converted to tho Christian faith, b?th among tho Jews and Gentiles. Tho sermon preaohod by Paul at Antioch in Pisidiaj thc conversion ol Sergius Paulus, thc two miraok* porformod by Paul at Paphos and Lystrn,- tho persecutions whioh ho and Barnabas suffered at different placos from tho unbelieving Jows, and other circumstances of tho jour noy, arc related in tho thirteenth and fourtoonth ohaptors of tho Acts. Not*long after Paul's return to Antioch' tho Apostle Peter carno thoro also, and at first associated freely with tho Gentile converts, but afterwards withdrow himself from them through foar of incurring tho displeasure of tho Jowish Christians who had como to Antiooh from Je rusalem. Paul publioly and with severity reproved his brother apostlo for this instanco of woakness and pointed out the inconsistency of such conduct. In this instanco, also, Peter SCCJUB to havo been for trial's Dake deserted of tho spirit. Hap pily, however, this reproof bad no pernicious effect in exciting any jealousy or discord in tho futuro ministrations of theso apostles. Tho first communication of breaking down tho partition wall betweon Jew [ind Gentilo being made to Peter, it might have been supposed that ho would have boen tho last to havo diown any opposition to its full and impartial exorcise. Tho long con Lin ned prejudices cherished by tho lowish Christians against tho Gentilo sonverts show us that in avery ago long established churches, with their fixed usages, and especially wlion inder the influence of secular power, 3an seldom, if ever, bo brought to lay aside an arrogant claim to pre eminence, even when instructed [rom heaven to lay such vain preten tious aside. To trace thc various journeyings, abets and exertions in behalf of tho ?ospel, of this distinguished and livinely qualified apostlo, would fill i volume. The most satisfactory ac count wo havo is summarily con fined in tho Acts of tho Apostles >y his fellow-laborer, Luke. Before closing this skcteh we will .cfer tp only ono particular more, md that for the purpose of showing vhy it was that tho Sabbath was ?hanged from the seventh to thc first lay of tho week. We aro informed hat during his itinerant course his ntention was to sail from Corinth to syria, but being informed that Homo inbolieving Jews had discovered his ntention and lay in wait to kill him, ic changed his design and passed brough Macedonia, and came, in fivo lays, from Philippi to Troas, whoro io remained seven days and preached o them on the first day of tho week, bc day on which they were aeons onied to meet for the purpose of re igious worship. It has been said hat it was an authorized act in the postlcs thus to chango this day. lut, although it is acknowledged hat thc sacred writers do not men ion that thc apostles reoeived any xprcss direction to make any change ii the day which had been so long ppropriated to tho service of God, et we know that they aeted by di ino inspiration on this, as well as n ?.!1 cessions where religious loctvincs or duties were concerned. Consequently there can bc no doubt if their authority on this point, ndeed, the change clearly appears o have been sanctioned by tho res irrcction of Christ and his appear nco among them when they were ssembled for worship on this day. t is evident, also, by thc descent of he Holy Ghost on that day. In hort, it seems difficult to imagine ircumstanccs more striking to ustity the chango from tho seventh o the first day of tho week, ospo ?ally as tho latter was immediately ubscquent to tho former, without ny interval of time whatever.

Tho following from the Washington correspondent of tho Chicago Rooord wlll bo of luterest to those in charge of tho management of Clemson College: "The other opinion affeots agricultu ral colleges, which reooive something Uko $25,000 eaoh year. Thoso colleges aro located in nearly ovory State In tho Union, and some of thom havo applied monoy roeelvcd from tho Fodoral treas ury to endow mont funds. Tho right to mako this disposition being questioned, tho Assistant Attorney Qonoral holds that tho agricultural colleges must util izo tho funds voted it by tho national govornmont or surrendor thom to tho Fodoral treasury; that it is not tho inten tion of Congross to permit any of tho oolloges to turn tho money into endow ment fends ; that tho objootis to advauoo tho agricultural education of tho prosont gonoraticn, and that any use of tho money that slights thc prouont gonora t ion to pr?vido bettor education for com ing gouoratioiiB is opposed to tho pur pose of tho Act. Several agricultural eolieges have accu mulated largo endowment funds in this way.

Tho mange in tho rato of interest on noney has como gradually, but is mo of tho most remarkable events ii financia! history. | It ?8 easily mough explained, now it is hore, but lobody could have predicted it. It itnounts lo cutting tho rate in two vithin a quarter of a century. For example, a good many pcoplo viii remember that in 1878 tho rail oad stations between here and Now fork were placarded with the ad vertisements of tho Harlem River md Fort Chester railroad 7 per cont muds, guaranteed by tho main road. Chose had to bc very extensively idvertised to secure their salo at par. Co-day, if the samo road wanted to ell iU per couts, it could got a light premium for them. That in itiates a shrinkage of one-half. It ucans that if in 1873 a man had had ;20,000 in cash to invest ho could lavo bought tbeso bonds and got an ncomo of 1,400 a year. Now tho nan who bad $'20,000 to invest could ;et but &700 from tho samo security, kliere are funds in hands of trustees hat havo net been changed in '20 oars, and aro worth now double yhat they were worth at the begin ing, and that do not yiold any moro noonie. That is another way of bowing that in productiveness it ?ikes two dollars now to equal ono 5 years ago. Tho dollar cannot earn what it sed to. Time was when 10 per ont was not considered high inter st, when our savings banks paid opositora 7 por cent, and when the verago discount rato at the banks ms 7 per cont. To-day tho savings auks ave squeezing out 4 per cent o depositors and discussing tho ad isalnlity of making the rato 3?. tut while tho dollar cannot oarn Axai it once could, it can buy vastly ?oro of whal is needed. At tho imo alluded to for tho interest com arison coal was at &0 a ton, now 6.50 ; flour was at $0.75 to $12.50 a arrol, now 4.25 ; sugir was at 15 cuts a pound, now 'i? conts ; hay ms at $28 a ton, now $18.

It was "dedicated" last week with u\Uoh pomp and ceremony, and its produot will play dn import ant part in the lifo of this big Jew ish setUemont. It is on Weat Tay lor street, not far from Ganai street, and is surrounded by synagogues and the ho?.us of the faithful. It may naturally bo asked what is an orthodox distillery, and why should the Jews of the Ghetto feel tho need of any distillery at all. Tho answer is that tho distillery will make wino to be unod in tho snored ceremonies of the Kastor celebration. And only by Jews oau such wino bo made. Tho Easter wino must bo free from contamination. To tho orthodox Jows "contamination" moans many things of whioh tho Gentilo takes no thought.
