% Saint PauP'-The work and WrI-
tings Of the Apostles
Ernest Remains "Saint Paul" has
appeared from the press of Levy
Freres, Paris. 1t is the third vol
ume of the series which the author
demon mates the "HIstoire DIES
Origines du Christianisme." The
"Life of Jesus" and THE Apos-
ties" have preceded it. Two more,
Anti-christ" and " The last Apos-
tolic Men," are announced to COM
plete the work.
In his introduction, M. Renan
disposes of the questions relating
to the genuineness of the several
epistles attribted to st. Paul. The
epistle to the Hebrews he rejects,
on the ground taken by Origen and
st. Jerome. "The substance of
its thought" he says, "does not
vary widely from the sentiments of
Paul, especially in the period of his
captivity; but the exposition and
the exegesis are very different" He
assigns its date to the beginning of
the Jewish revolt, or about A. D.
&C. He feels some difficulty in be-
lieving that the epistles to the
Ephesians and Colossians can both
be authentic, chiefly because, to a
certain extent, they repeat each
other.
The following paragraphs are
taken from the authors picturesque
description of the Jewish popula>
ton of Rome when Christianity
reached it:
"The first nucleus of this popu-
lation had been formed of freemen,
descended for the most part from
those whom Pompey brought cap.
tives to Rome. The most
admirable quality of Judaism is that
simplicity of faith which renders
the Jew, thousand leagues from
his country, and many generations
after leaving it, still a Jew in all the
purity of the term. The first colo
ny had been reinforced by numer-
Gus emigrants. These poor people
disembarked by hundreds at the
Ripa, and lived in the quarter ad-
joining the Trastevere; porters,
small dealers, exchanging matches
for broken glass, and offering to the
proud Italiote populations a type
which was in after days to become
only too familiar among them, that

In Wayne county a few weeks ago, W.
B. Shields, a well known citizen about sew
enty-6ve years Of age, was walking across
the ridge from the residence of his son, J.
T. Shields, when an old fox emerged from
the wood and sliced the old man by the
leg. Mr.. Shields resented the attack by
using his walking cane, but the fox still
held his grip. The warfare waxed furious
for a short time, when the old man proved
the victor, and succeeded in staying his
belligerent antagonist, and carried him
home on his shoulder as trophy. This ia
the third attack of this kind that has oc.
Cured in that county since the war, and
the foxes were slain in every instance.
