learning reoognizo Christianity, either to

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

then we may, as preachers and setters

himself, defy all shallow scepticism, and
be Sure that wo have, a profound inde?

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. The

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

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.

called on the spinster one afternoon to
borrow a? match. Hannah Ann was not
easily fooled. Folding' her arms on her

dressed the invader: '-Mutch,! Oh yes!

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.

Atrocious.?As the Northern bound
train was within one mile of Salisbury,
N. C.j on Wednesday night, the 2d inst,
at 12 o'clock, hoiuo miscreants, posted on
an adjoining embankment, showered m
quantity of stones at' the windows, and
succeeded in smashing several panes of
glass in the Pullman car and the first
and second class coaches, besides injur?
ing the window blinds. A lady was
slightly cut by a piece of the flying glass.
Fortunately, no one else was hurt, though
the stones were large enough to have
killed whom they may have hit. The.
night was dark and rainy. The railroad
authorities believe the perpetrators to bo
discharged colored employees.
The 'Mid, old story was told at 3
o'clock in the morning," is the title of a
chromo, which has attracted considera?
ble attention at Mr. Bryan's bookstore,
and many individuals "who know how
it is themselves," have "smolc a ghastly
smile" while inspecting it. A tall indi?
vidual, who has evidently been to "see a
man," is trying to slip in, shoes in band,
so as not to arouse his wife. But the
partner of his bosom is .up and waiting
for him?the time-piece in her hand,
indicating 3 o'clock. Duplicates can bo
obtained.

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. The system
is stimulated and toned, the bowels re?
gulated, the appetite cultivated, ' the
nerves composed and the condition of
the blood improved at one and the same
time by a single medicine. Common
sense tells us that such a preparation
must be invaluable. June 4 t3f 1
