ORIGIN OF OLD HUEDRED.-The New FORK sun
says:
The Rev. Robert Collyer, Of Chicago, says that
Luther took the grand measure we know as Old
Hundred from the ballad music of the peasants of
his time" As this idea respecting that magnif-
cent piece Of music, though very common, is erro
neous, il may be worth while 70 state the truth
respecting it. II was not derived from ballad
music, but appears 70 have bean complied from
the Gregorisn chants. There are four of these
old chants in existence, from which the whole OF
Old hundred may be made up. Its compier.w8s
not Lather, but most probably William Franc
who furnished the music TO the Geneva Psalms
published in 1854 In that publication the tune IN
question was contained. II was originally known
as the One Hundredth Psalm. Thence its present
title.

mental and physical endowments blended That
one OF the witnesses TESTIFIED that 1t was re,

his death, that some one would XIII HIM soon,
as his temper would bring him in conflict with
some spirited man, and that, on account OF his
extraordinary corporeal power, but lev men

The petitioner appears from the testimony
to have been man Of mild temper, gentlemanly
deportment, and delicate physical structure,
and his appearance and demeancr during this
examination have tended to confirm such tcsti
mony. The provocation given 10 him was
most extraordinary, and offensive in the very
