BEAUTIFUL BLACKBOARD LESSON
There was given at Park Street
81. e. Church. Cincinnati, Deem
Der 18th, a black board lesson of sin
gular effectiveness and beauty. The
subject of the Lesson was, Reign of
the Messiah, y as foretold in Isaiah's
prophecy, eleventh chapter, from first
to the ninth verses, inclusive. The
blackboard was large-eight feet long
and four feet wide. The whole les
son was designed by Rev. j. j.
Thompson, pastor Of the Church, and
the illustrations were drawn by Isaac
Nj. Wiltsee, q member of the school.
In the center there was an old
stump, cut Of which grew a large
green tree, apparently full of life
and vigor. Around the stump
a large serpent was coiled, with his
| head touching, but not harmiBg, the
outstretched hand OF a little child.
The child was On the right hand of
the stump, standing on q green,
grassy knoll, with a lion and bear.
The lion. with bowed head, receives
the fondling of the child, while the
bear lies quietly upon the grass, seem
ing to wonder If 1t Is not back In
Eden's Garden. On the left hand of
the stump there was another green
sBard, on which leopard and
lamb are sleeping-as peacefully
sleeping as puss and kitten. The
/ life like scenes, on either side of
the stump, are all under the
boughs and shade of the great tree,
growing and spreading itself so lux
uriently over the face OF the whole
earth" The pictures, by using the
colored crayons, we're made to look as
natural as they we're beautiful. The
explanation of the lesson was as
simple and as methodioal as the pic.
lures were attractive and appropriate.
The words were printed in large let
| tiers, so plainly that the children Of
all ages could read them. They we're
as follows:
! CHRIST.
The rod and the branch; Christ as

truth; rules In goodness. His king

ONE result of the presence of Mr.
Hammond In our city is the eluoida-
/ ton of the doctrine that when indi-
vidual pastors ard Church members
are willing TO acork, God viii work.
Ifin business life there is no success
except by vigorous devotion and self
denial, how. said Mr. Hammond once
at Wesley Chapel, can there be sue
cess In religion when both these ele-
ments are wanting? Another thing
has been shown: ministers may preach
expecting present results. The other
evening, at the Ninth Street Baptist
| Church, DR.. jeffrey delivered plain
/ Gospel message, and followed It
up with 4 call for mourners.
The singing and exhortations en-
suing were very much after the
eld-iashioned Methodist camp meet
ing type, and several found the Savior.
Still another thing: making Christ
and the cross the central thought.

KING MEETING IN ENGLAND.
LA Li6ert6-Paris, Oct. &C.

How mauy things, which people do not
perceive, change IN nature without chang
ing IN name!
Thus it is generally believed that The
government IN force on the other side of
the Channel is Parliamentary government.
A great mistake! The government in force
in Great Britain is no longer Parliament
tary government, The true sovereign
is now King ,Meetiag.
What King Meeting wishes, the House
Of Commons, a little sooner or a little
later, cannot help wishing also, and when
King Meeting and the House of Go nmonS
agree, how could the House of Lords resist
them without endangerins theirown exist
crce as an institution e?
Hence it is true to say that if in the
United Kingdom Parliamentary govern
ment is still The governmental fact, po-
puIar power is snow the government 10 fact.
In support oflhis opinion, which will
be called hazardous, and, perhaps, para
doxicaI, we will quote the following pas
sage from The last letter of Louis Blanc
to the Temps: =
"As the Eraminer very truly remarks,
the different parties, and especially that
to which Lord George Hamilton belongs,
have Systematically taught the Irish peo-
pie that everything is Obtained by organi-
zed menace and that without organized
menace nothing is got"
What, in fact, was the reform which
the people obtained by asking for it hat
in hand?
Was it the emancipation of the Catho-
lies?
Was it the abolition, of the tithes?
Was it municipal reform9
Was it the extension of the suffrage
Was it the suppression Of the Irish
Church?
When Lord A,lhorp proposed the abo-
lition of the payment of tYtbes, he only
insisted on one point-the impossibility
of collecting them without bloodshed.
Earl Russell concluded his celebrated
speech in favour of the Municipal Corpo-
ration Bill in these terms :-"Reiect it, if
you like, but I warn you, at the first can
non-shot in Europe, you will eagerly give
to fear. what you now refuse TO justice"
Need I remind people how the obsti-
nate opposition of the Lords to the first
Reform Bill was overcome? The people
agitated terribly. "Create lords, or let
US have no more ofthem, was everywhere
the crv-a creation Of lords to change the
majority in the Upper House, or no more
lords, 10 get rid of them once for all"
"The Political National Union urged the
House of Commons TO refuse the supplies;

A WOndcEJitL Story.

1t is said that in the tombs
of the Metropolis of ancient
Egypt two kinds Of mummies
have been found. One is in.
complete--that is to say, all or,
gans necessary for life have
been separated from them; the
other, on the contrary, is quite
complete. Having observed
this, a Swedish chemist, DR..
Grusselbach, who has the rcpu,
tation Of being both great and
learned, Professor at the Uni
versity of Upssal, has come to
the conclusion that the Egypt
ian mummies are not all, as has
been said and believed forsomc
thousands Of years, bodies en-
blamed by any process of pres
ervation whatever, but that
they are really the bodies of
individuals whose life has been
momentoriIy suspended, with
the intention Of restoring them
at some future time, only the
secret Of preservation has now
been lost. Meantime, Profes,
sor Grusselbach adduces many
proofs in support Of his idea
among others, his experiments
in the last ten years, which he
says have always proved sue
ccssful. He took a snake, and
treated it in such a manner as
to benumb it as though it had
been carved in marble, and it
was so brittle that had he al
lowed it to fall, it would have
broken into fragments. In
this state he kept it for one or
several years, and then restored
it to life by sprinkling it with
4 stimulating fluid, the compo-
Sition Of which is lis secret. -
FOR fifteen years the snake has
been undergoing an existence
composed Of successive deaths
and resurrections, apparently
without sustaining any harm.
The Professor is reported to
have sent q petition to his Gov
ernment, requesting that a
criminal who has been con-
demned to death may be given
to him, to be treated in the
same manner as the snake,
promising to restore him to life
Ill two years. Its understood
that the man who undergoeS
this experiment is to be par
doned. Whether the Swedish
Government has accepted or
rejected the learned chemists
proposals isnot known.

About four weeks ago alittle
German girl in Brooklyn took
sick with the lock;jaw, and ru-
nor says that in a few days she
was thought dead and was
buried, On the evening of
her burial, the mother some
reason, was led to the grave,
and, with her ear pressed close
to the ground, thought she
heard a noise, and believed her
child to be moving in its coffin.
She withheld from asking as,
si8tance for fear of being ridi-
culed, and Immediately pro,
cured a spade and began to
dig up the earth, Soon she
came to the coffin, and hurried.
ly taking it from the earth
opned it, and there found the
body of her child, nine hours
after its supposed burial, as
if were living, and lying on its
side. She took the child to
her house, where q physician
was Immediately called in, and
every restorative applied to
bring the child to life. 1t was
too late; the soul had taken
its fight, and in a few hours
more the body cold and ICY
1t was soon buried again, and
has not since been disturbed.

among the citizens of the West
Side, and the story as above re-
lated is well known to q great
many reliable persons residing
on Detroit street and Brook
