A Novel View Of Judas.

In the essay on Judas Iscariot, De Quin-
cv expounds the novelty of some German
writers, that the character and intentions of
Judas have been misconstrued; and certain
y this paradox is hard to answer. Accord
ing to this view, Judas in common with the
rest OF the apostles, believed that Christ came
to establish an earthly kingdom, but went
beyond the Others in speculatng on bis rea-
son for delaying its inauguration. These
reasons Judas found in the character of Christ
himself, "sublmely oyergifted for pur-
posses Of speculation, but, like Sbak,
speares great creation of Prince Hamlet,
not commensuratory endowed for the bus-
ness of action and the sudden emergencies of
life. ludecision and doubt (such WAS the
Interpretation Of Judas) crept over the facui-
ties OF the divine man, as often as he was
summoned away from bis own natural Sab
bath Of heavenly contemplation to the gross
necessities of action 1t became important
therefore, according to the views adopted by
Judas, that his master should be precipitateu
into action by form without, and thrown
into the center Of some popular movement

would be forced into giving the signal to
the populace of Jerusalem, who would then
have risen unanimously, for the double pur.

off the Roman yoke" 1t was spiritual blind
ness, combined with audacily. and not treach'

Judas. On the first blush, this view of the

TIE COMING STORM.

The Examiner says. on Saturday evenn o
the city was highly excited over the follow
ing telegram which was placarded on the
bulletin board of the Times We see tina.
the paper attributes the article to the Con
stitutiona Union, owned BY lion Thomas b.
Florence. This, however. we infer is an er-
ror, as that paper is morning issue. The
only evening paper in Washington being
in the confidence of the President is the Star,
one of the Oldest journals of the city. Be
this as it may, the article is pregnant with
meaning and foreshadows what must eventu-
ally occur, unless the Radicals pause in their
reckle career. All rejecting men must see
that their programme is pregnant with an.
archy and revolution, and that it will ult-
maey become the duty Of the President by

somewhat tyrannica so much so that he now

Edwin Forrest became an actor of eminence,

was discomftted, the scene was ruined, when

ejacuated: "Forrest, Forrest, send Constable

to confirm the views expressed by me in tho
Senate last winter, in the National Union
Convention, at Philadel phia, and at other
places during tho late canvass in the North

While the time of their full recognition
may be postponed by the result of the recent
elections longer than could have wished,
my faith is still unshaken, that, at no distant
day, the people of the Northern States will
recognise, and Congress will recognize, as
the President and the Supreme Court have
already recognized, these States of the South
as States in The Union, under the Constitu-
ton with call their rights, dignity and equal

FArTENING Fowls All Summer long the
farmer and his family have fused with the
poultry; the young chickens aud turkeys need
care in the long rain storms, and protection
against nocturnal depredstors Just as they
are fully grown and out Of danger, the shrewd
huskster makes his appearance, buys, fattens
and prepares them for market, and pockets
the profits for his snarlness.
Obviously the farmer had better fatten his
fowls and send them to market himself. He
can do it with less trouble, perhaps, than he
imagines. Feed literally at all times, so as
to keep them growing thriftily, but about
twenty days before being slaughtered feed in
this way: Make a coop for a dozen fowls;
more should not be put together. The coop
should be three feet long, two wide, and two
and half high. Make the sides and ends Of
bars about three inches apart the bottom Of
round poles two inches apart, the top of a
board. Place this in comfortable room,
barn or poultry house, where the cold winds
will be kept away and where the light will
be dim. Attach feeding through all around
the outside. Commence feeding very light,
giving little but water the first day. Then
feed regular three or four times per day
with the richest food, as oat meal mixed
with milk, boiled barley or corn. Observe
the utmost cleanliness, and give supply of
fresh water. In twenty days the poultry
should be killed, and for such the farmer
would find plenty of greedy buyers, willing
to pay the highest price.-Rural New
Yorker

Venezuela there are immense numbers Of
wild horses in the forests. They i've there
in societies, generally to the number Of 500
or 600, and even 1000 They occnpy i'm.
mense savannas, where it is dangerous to
disturb or to try to catch them. Ia the drv
season they are sometimes obliged TO 90 two
or three leagues, and even more for water.
They set out in regular ranks, four abreast,
and thus form a procession of the extent of Il
quarter OF q league. There are always five
or SIN scouts preceding the troop about so
PAGES. If they perceive a human or an
American tiger, they neigh, and the troop
stops; ii avoided, they continue their march
but II an attempt be made to pass across
their squadron, they leap on the imprudent
traveller and crush bin under their feet.
The best way is always to avoid them and
let them continue their route. They have
also a chief, who marches between the scouts
aud the squadron--a kind of adiutant,
whose duty consists in hinderng any indi
Nldual from leaving tho ranks. If any one
attempts 10 atragge, either from hunger or
fatigue, he is bitten ill he resumes his place
