on for half day at the New York
Avenue Presbyterian Church. Ills
limbs were uncommony loag, and 50
were the sermons. The pows were
small and narrow. The Pre 3idcnt would
twist and turn as if in agony, and some
lines push his feet into the aisle to get
room. When the service was over he
would spring to his feet as iI>glad to get
out of the cxcruciaiing position.

There is no evidence ef any serious
change within historic periods, in the
general features otihe country, Doubt
less earthquakes sufficient to destray
cities land they need not be very severe
to do that have occurred here; out
that any throwing up in mountain
chains, or sudden sinking Of levels has
occurred here since the days Of Adam,
would not probably occnr 10 any scien-
tiiic observer. There is, and must al
ways have been a tremendous and
wholly exceptional depression in this
valley. The Jordan, rising hundred
miles north, between the ranges Of Leb-
anon and Antc-Lebanon, cmpties first
to Lake Meron, and then, rs rapid
descent of three hundred feet in a few
miles, into the Sea OF Galiiee; between
that sea and the Dead Sea it desccnds
one thousand feet by a succession Of
rapids, and twists and turns, created by
the burrowing of its violent current
doubling its length. 1t has worked It
self so deep intoits surface that its waters
fructify only the lowest bed Of the river,
leaving its double banks, tho lowest bed
being converted into a jungle of bushes
and Tickets and the original bed, per-
haps, barren, sandy waste. 4 more
repulSive or moro useless river,
except for the mere supply of the thlrs-
ty man and beast, cannot be found In
the world. There are now no villages
there. and never we're any along its
banks. Irrigation from it was never
possible, and it is accordingly the very
reverse OF the Nile in its relations to the
country its flows through.
1t is now very fall, and almost unap-
proachablc; quite nnfordablc. A dis
agreeable swamp lies round its bed, so
that we found it impossible to get the
benefit of any shade from the trees close
to tsmain bed. We managed, how
ever, to get on the bank by the Greek
ford and to see the place which, just be-
fore Easter is thronged with thousands
Of pilgrims who wash in the sacred river,
which the baptism Of Jesus had made
efIicacious to cleanse from sin! 1t is
considered probable that the Lords bap
ism occurred near here. Here at this
ford, Just opposite Jericho, in the
shadow Of The Judean hills, some seven
miles eastward, must lave been the
place where Joshua led the chosen pco-
Nth their priests in trout, across the
stream very nearly at this season of the
year From the Moab mountains, just
in front, Moses looked from the still un
fixed peak of Pi>gah down upon the
land he was never to enter, and his ever
venerable ashes slumbcr somewhere on
Ncbo's unsettled soil We crossed the
plain to Jericho, finding what is surmis-
ed to be Gilgal ia the modern Riah, and
asccndeI the green bat neglected foot
hills watcrcd by the brook Cherith and
by the fountain that Elisha healed, un
I'll we pitched our tents jUst under the
biIocks of runs which are supposed to
be the remains Of the city that fell be-
fore Joshua's rams horns. Lieutenant
Warren, temporarily stopped in its val
liable explorations at Jerusalem, Is now
in four or five different places
in these heaps of artificial earth, to dis
cover some more positive traces Of the
old city.

WHAT RAILROADS DoFoR FARMERs.-
To haul forty bushels Of corn, fifty miles
on a wagon, would cost at least Sl2 for
team, driver and expenses. A railroad
would transport it for 81, at most. Al
lowing on an average Of forty bushels
per acre, the crop would be worth eight
dollars more per acre, or eight per cent
on $500. AS the relative advantage IS
about the same for other crops, it is clear
that a railroad passing through a town
would add 500 per acre to the value OF
the farms. A town ten miles square
contains $4,000 acres. An inc csc Of
500 per acre is equal to S6, 100000, or
enough to build 200 miles Of railroad,
even lift cost $4,000 per mile. But
200 miles Of road would extend through
20 towns ten miles square, and cost but
$40 per acre If taxed upon the land
These figures are given merely as an II
Ingtration. If the farmers had taxed
themselves to build all The railroads in
this country, and given them away 70 any
companies that would stock and run them
the present increased value Of their lands
void lave we'll repaid all tue outlay.
