Is there an ul inteUigent source of law, har phenomena of the Universe, _ elevating and oomfort the loving, noble and har _ manifestation in Christ? Are i of an unintelligible chance, or ^development of law with no law or are we thoughts of one mind, united in lore by such a ttihm as tour Divene Brother _j leans Christ?. This issue throws ulesiostical disputes, based as they ma fiOss use of the Bible, into i; and upon this Issue 1 can ?Ann that Chistianity (not In its " ecctoeiastical disputes, not id -or parties trying to mWtaln f olef outworks of Divinity iys t a misused Bible against ffrti and science, but,) in Its pure aal power as thofuncorrupted reve of the lore of God in Christ, has exhibited more vitality than it kday. It shows it by the battle It is gaihoring around Itself. To ilyatthe manner in which men ene* *re absorbed in ec tic disputes,' ey are utterly y the mind of the age; and truly, if Christ? ianity consisted only in such disputes, science and.learning would ignore it with contempt P But why dosciance and learning reoognizo Christianity, either to ?PPO?e or to defend? Precisely because there is in it a power different from and independent of all such .dogmatic diav pu tea; and It is that essential power, the: manifestation and witness of a personal God, a Divine love, a personal historical Christ, a holy life, which arouses the. 6rcat battle now going on in the intel iCfual world. Obsolete or weak things do not excite suoh strife, and whatever may be the progress of destructive criti? cism. Christianity can be supplanted by nothing so long as there are intellects to reverence and hearts to love a personal Christ This Christ (and the more won? derfully will He* emerge from the very fact that we havo only fragmentary me - morahilia of His life and sayings') has made and will make suoh an impress upon the mind and heart of civilized hu? manity, as cannot be effaced by ecclesb asUceT dogmas; and will only come out more powerfully, and receive more adO?hg homags in proportion as eccle siaeflcal speculations and disputes fade into the insignificancy into which they hai fe ever sunk with the progress of thonght and science. I See the tributes which even the serious and earnest 'minted and honest rejectors ? of the ec? clesiastical Christianity have paid almost involnntarily, constrainedly to the Per? sonal Christ They have, admitted that hfrwiveir destructive scientific criticism may/he, it contiot take, away from the faithful hfiart the Personal Christ as the incarnation of the love of a' Personals God.

But when we present Christ?the Incar? nate >Love of God?to human souls, then we may, as preachers and setters forth of tho Messiahship as conceived by himself, defy all shallow scepticism, and be Sure that wo have, a profound inde? structible basis in human v/ants and longings and aspirations and soul depths, to 3 which.

Tai) Nif- H^Ssht?e '^oisi^tive SQtfl^LfjC^jTbe .Tnlub? htith^New Hampshire Legislature, which reached n Crisis Wednesday, when the members of the Republican Senate seceded from that body, was continued by the House on Thursday. "The question arose' on^pro- j positions to refer the disputed Senato? rial matter to the Supreme Court of the State. The facts of the case aro these: The Constitution and laws of the State provide that a majority of all votes cast shall be necessary for the election of Senator; that to be eligible to the Senate a man must reside in the District for which he is chosen and most have been an inhabitant of the State for sev en years immediately preceding bis election; and that the full Christian and surname of every person voted for must be printed or written upon every ballot, and all not thus prepared shall not be counted. Two of the Democratic candidates, Priest and Proctor, bad each in his District a plu? rality only. The claim of the Republi? cans is that there was no election in either case. The Governor and council, however, decided that thero was no such man as "Natt" Head, one of the candi? dates, he having been christened "Na? thaniel," and so threw out. ell the votes cast' for him. In the other District they decided that tho prohibition candidate was not eligible, he not having resided in the State a sufficient length of time, and so they throw out all tho votes cast for him. The Governor and council, therefore, declared Messrs. Priest and Proctor elected. The issues presented in the House were on the method of set? tling the difficulty. The Republican proposition for a settlement was to refer the question of the right of the Governor and council to declare- Priest and Proc? tor elected to the three Judges of the Supreme Court, two of whom are Demo? crats. The Democrats offered to refer the question, not of the right of the can? vassers to declare these men elected, but of the legality of their election, to the Court The distinction between these two propositions lies in the fact that a decision upon the legality of the action of the Governor and council if adverse will vitiate the proceedings already had, by which the Democrats have secured the organization, while ? decision by the Court upon the legality of the election of Messrs. Priest and Proctor would, if adverse, only have the effect to unBeat theni, leaving the organisation as effected by their votes. As the Republicans have a majority In the. House, they, can of course have their own way Sbout it. At Peterson, N. J , lest Thursday, died Darias Wells, aged seventy-five. To his apparently simple invention of wooden types, the arts of printing, engraving and stereotyping are immensely indebted. For 900 years, printers had debanded on metal types, and were restricted by the weight and cost of the material to small letters. The introduction of wood ren? dered the use of largo type both easy and c/feap, so that ever/printing office in the world is now provided with them.

It is very simpler-lies in a nut-shell, and ?an be expressed in a very few words. They are'these: The last person yott would, naturally think of. If a girl expresses| her fondness for majestic men with large whiskers, make up your mind that she will marry a very small man with none. If she declares that "mind" is all she looks for, expect to see her stand, "before the olter with a very pretty feRoW who has Just sense enough to tie a orav'at bow. If. on the contrary, she declares she must have a handsome husband, look abont you for the plainest person in the circle- of her acquaintance and declare 'that is the man," for it will bo. Men are almost rts bad. The gentleman who desires a wife with a mind and mission, marries a lisping baby who screams at tho sight of a mouse, and hides her face when she hears a sudden knock at the door. And the gentleman who dreaded anything like strong I mindodness exults in the fact that his wife is everything ho detested. If a girl I says of one, "Marry pne? I'd rather die," look upon the affair as settled, and expect cards to the wedding of these two l people. If a man romarks of a lady, ' 'Not i my style at all," await patiently the ap pearanoeof his name in the matrimonial I column in connection with that lady's. I And if any two people declare them? selves "friends and nothing more," you I may know what will come next There Iis no hypocrisy in all this, and such 'marriages are Invariably the happiest.

Freeman, the distirtj+rfished historian, has been lecturing in Loriddn 1 on "The Use Of the English Language," in course of which he pointed out some examples of foreign words which had 'supplanted good English words and of words which ad slipped into daily use in a sense very different from their real meaning. Nearly all writers, and frequently those { who write hurriedly for daily papers, and whose knowledge of the English i language is gained or freshened by the reading of papers, occasionally use the | unnecessary or incoherent words men? tioned by Mr. Freeman. Some of these are worth remembering. One that is in common use is "ovation," which a wit? ness in the Tichborne trial described as "yelling and hooting." It was a term applied to a Roman celebration, at which ' a victorious general walked to the place where a sheep (oyis) was .sacrificed in his honor, and wag Inferior to a "triumph" at which the victorious general rodo in a chariot to the place where a bull was sacrificed. "Transpire" once meant to come out gradually, but now an event "tmnspires" whenever anything hap? pens. Men "allude to" each other by name, when they actually **speak" of each other. Walters' are not sent to | "find out" anything or "ask" anything, "they are told to "ascertain" or to "in pquire." Tradesmen do not "send in. their bills" but "render their accounts," and singers do not "sing psalms," but the psahns arc beautifully "rendered." Things do not begin now-o-days, but are "inaugurated," und statues are also "in? augurated," not "uncovered" or "un? veiled." In concluding his interesting lecture; Mr. Freeman said that the great use of lectures was to set people to think? ing themselves, find it each one would think what'he could do for tho Eng? lish language! a- reform would soon be wrought. V As Actress' EuxuRiot's SUUBOONnixevs. I luve you heard that Mile. Lasseng, (I am sure you remember this piquant ac? tress of Palais Rpyal,) came as near being burnt as it is possible for an iceberg to be burned'.- I instanced the conflagra? tion in Mile. Lasseng's rooms, just to let you see the insolent luxury in which those creatures live. You know, as an actress, she is tenth rate. And yet her furniture cost over ?100,000! She had a dressing gown of Mechlin lace and em? broidery which cost Si,000; $3,000 worth of furs;* thirty dresses, the cheapest of which cost $ 100, gold; all her skirts were of lace; her sheets were so fine you could have run them through the bride's ring, and the embroidery on them more than doubled the cost of the linen. Her bed? chamber was in tho Revival style, and was lined, walls and ceiling, with red damask silk, wadded and hand-cmbroid erod. Her bed was seven feet long by six wide, was placed on a platform of palissandre, covered with Smyrna car? pets. The bed-curtains were lace. Costly pictures, bronzes, statuettes, carved ivory, Chinese and Japanese curiosities, Rouen and Nevers earthenware. Limoges ennmels, Sevres and Saxony porcelain, Gobelins and Beauvais tapestry wore to be found everywhere. The ceiling of tho boudoir was a piece of embroidery representing Actes Triumph; it cost $4,000. The dining-room was of old oak and Genoese velvet. The New York Times calls attention to the fact that a large portion of the fertile island of New Guinea, lying under the equator, and about ninety miles North of Australia, is unclaimed by any nation, the Dutch occupying a small part only of the territory. The English recently explored the island, and Captain Lawson has made a glowing report of its marvel? ous resources. Ths Times thinks It would be a good idea, since the English have shown some hesitanoy about plant? ing their flag on the soil, for the United States to rush in and possess the land. It might be a very good thing, but tlnn, as we are experimenting in that line at the Samoan Islands at the present time, it wonld be better to wait and see how Col. Steinberger comes out of his mis? sion. Besides, Capt. Lawson, the Eng? lish explorer of New. Guinea, had a fierce fight with the untutored savages of that island, which suggests foroibTy that, if We take possession of it, we will have to fight ana'feed the aborigines, and un? doubtedly have to submit t6 the dis graoefulplonder of a new In'dian ring. Let the English have New Guinea if they want it. / Po ob Czar Hannah Ann.?It was n Sreat many yearn ago that the story was rat. told of Miss Hannnh Ann Sterry, annncommonly mature virgin, who had fer bSSA persecuted with masculine utiansbecause of the vigorous man? chich 8he shunned the face of jtVos related that Mr. Theophi JhU.Wlmmebee, an advanced bachelor of the mildest, possible deportment, occu? pying single quarters in the neighbor? hood of Hannah Ann's apartments, called on the spinster one afternoon to borrow a? match. Hannah Ann was not easily fooled. Folding' her arms on her level breast she bucked Theophilus Wimblebeo into a corner, and thus ad? dressed the invader: '-Mutch,! Oh yes! Great match 'tis you want! You don't want no match, and you know you don't. You've come over to me 'cause I'm all alone?to hug and kiss me?that's what you've come for; but you never shall do it in the world unless vou'ro stronger'n I am"?and then she added in a softened tone, "ami thrt Lord knows you are." A friend of Hannah Ann's reading a letter from a public man the other day in which the writer said: "To recapitulate.

[.Ycc York Tribune. The Girl of To-n.w.?The time has passed when women must be juile and delicate to be called interesting?when she must be totallv ignorant of all practical knowledge to be called refined and high bred?when she must know nothing of the current political news of the day, or be called masculine and strong-minded. It is not a sign of birth and refinement to be sickly and ignorant. Those who affect anything of the kind are behind the times, and must shake up and air themselves mentally and physically, or drop under the Srni strides of common sense ideas and be crushed into utter insignificance. In these days an active, rosy-faced girl, with brain quick and clear, warm, light heart, and temper quickly heated at intended insult or injury, and just as quick to forgive; whose feet can run as fast as her tongue and not put her out of breath; who is not afraid of freckles, or to breathe the pure air of heaven unrestrained by the draw cur? tains of a close carriage; and above all, who can speak her mind and important topics which interest intelligent people, is the true girl who will make a good woman. This in the girl who wins in these days. Forcible Burial.?Tho New Orleans li'illetin, of Saturday, tells a horrible tale of iheforcible burial of a living man in that city, on the 20th ult. He was a negro named George.Danks, and his dis? ease was small-pox. According to the statements of six or eight persons, pub? lished by the Jinlldin, the man pushed the lid off the coffin while it was on the cart on tho way to the cemetery; the driver of the cart placed it on again, sat on one end, and put a coffin containing I a baby on the other end to keep down the lid. At least half a dozen people as? serted that they saw this, that they dis? tinctly saw the movements of tho* man in the coffin in his efforts to rise, and one or two said they heard his groans and breathing. Several declared that the driver ordered them off when they approached and told him he had a living man in the coffin. The thing is almost incredible, but these are the circumstan? tial statements. Tho driver was arrested and locked up. He denied everything except that he was tho driver who car? ried tho eorpse to the cemetery. The sad spectacle of a child eight I years old being the means of convicting I bis father of murder was presented in Jersey City last week. Catharine Kehoe was kicked to death by her husband. Peter Kehoe, the little son of the dead woman, gave the following statement to the jury: "When my papa canto home on Friday night he asked me to take off his shoes. 1 took them off, when he took one of the shoes and hit mamma on the head with one of the shoes. Then he told me to go out on the street and play. I went out and stayed about half an hour. When I came in mamma was dead on the lounge. Papa sent me out for water to wash her. He then washed her and put her to bed. Then he told mo he was going out for tho Coroner. That's all I know about it. Wo were both taken to the station house." Execution of a Colored Man. ?Alfred Orange, colored, was hung in Atlanta, Go., on the 4th, for the mujder of Joe Mayfield, at West End. At 12:30 o'clock the prisoner was led from his cell to the place of execution. Ha walked with firmness and deliberation, and exhibited not the least nervousness. After singing "Why should we start and fear to die?" prayers were offered by tho Rev. W. French, Rev. Frank Quarles and Willy Grant. During this time Orange was self composed and unmoved, and kept chewing his tobacco until the fatal cap was about to be placed on him, when he leisurely threw the tobacco away. When asked if he had anything to say, he re? plied: "Nothing, except good-bye, 1 am about to be off; good-bye The cap was adjusted, the trigger sprung and the condemned man launched into eternity. Statistics have been collected in France, Algeria and Prussia, by whioh it is shown that the Jewish race has a mean average duration of life exceeding that of Christians by about five years, and that this people enjoy greater immunity from disease than Christian races. The causes ascribed are the inheritance of a sound physical constitution, and the watchful care of mothers over their offspring. The plagues whioh have visited various countries have left them unscathed. Croup is said to be extremely rare among their children, and they have very little scrofula. The Estrclln, Moxican newspaper, re? ferring to tho Washington Chronicle's version of tho Texas raids?that Mexico is too weak to restrain raiders?says: "If the great republic cannot or will not keep marauding parties from passing into a friendly State and committing all kinds of atrocities, it cannot wonder at weak Mexico not being able at all times j to prevent her bad boys from entering a friendly State."

M71 A Dead Delosion.?The theory that | human beings whose strength has been I exhausted by pain and sickness can be restored by depleting medicines and water gruel, if not absolutely a dead de? lusion, is in the last agonies of dissolu? tion. At length it is understood that strength cannot be purged into a debili? tated frame, though life may easily be purged out of it and that it is about as wise to withhold a healthful stimulant from the weak, in the expectation that they will rally without one, as it would be to deprive a lamp of oil and expect it to burn the brighter for it. The immense and uniform success which has attended tho use of that wonderful combination of a pure stimulant with the finest me? dicinal herbs, known as Hostetter's Sto? mach Bitters, has largely assisted in dis? pelling the absurd chimera. Frantic at? tempts are made to revive it but in vain. When the sick feel that their strength is departing, and that unless invigorated they must utterly break down, it is in vain to tender them feculent slops in the place of genuine restoratives. They may bo imposed upon in this way once, but the imposition cannot be repeated. They desire to be refreshed, comforted, braced up, and decline to be griped a second time. Under the operation of the Bitters, on the other hand, all the processes necessary to physical restora? tion go on simultaneously.
