TRUE CHRLSTIANTTY.


Great as has been the number of ascetic Chris
tians, there is nothing ascetic in Christianity.
That element is entirely wanting in the teach
ings OF Christ. The "Man of Sorrows" con-
tinualiy invites his disciples to joy, and to lu-
ness of joy. Sorrow does not belong to the
intimate essence of religion, though 1t be its
ever accompanying shadow.
False views of repentance as little else than
grief aud pain connected with equally false
views of merit, led imperfect Christians at a
very early age to undertake methods of self
punishment The more they suffered here the
less they should suffer hereafter. An exagge-
rated emphasis was laid on penitence as penance,
penalty, and pain. Human sorrow came TO be
considered as a recompense, reparation, or sat
isfactiou to God. SO much voluntary trouble
was set on against so much sin. More specula-
tive minds, especially those of the Oriental
Church, brought in theory to support and
recommend the practice, namely, that
the soul could be best purified by the
modification of the body. Out of these pre-
possessions grew the whole system of hermit
ages, vigils, lenten fasts, and varied sef-infic-
tions which have succeeded in leaving their
mark on the religion of Rome and the Oriental
churches The most remarkable thing about
this is that there is nothing like it in the Cos
pei. There everything in it has the sweet
innocent fragrance of childhood. Sufferings
appear, indeed, but it is from the defect of
piety, and not its abundance. Faith hope
and love tend to make the primitive believer
happy; aud q smile irradiates his countenance
when amidst persecution, which perfectly agrees
with the injunctions often given in the
Scriptures that we should live life of joy.-Dr.
L. w. Alexander.

1t is said that however Russia may choose to
temporize until the issue of the Prussian CAM
paign is more clearly defined, she is making
immense preparations for possible contingent
cies. The FinaHcier, of London, has private
advices that vast quantities of munitions of
war are constantly arriving a. Odessa, in the
Crimea, and many places on the northern
shores of the Black Sea. Meanwhile, the
Poti-koutais section of the railway now being
built in the Caucasus is to be completed, it is
said, in few months. This contract up to
-koutais is to be finished soon, under heavy
penalties for delay. Military purposes,
almost exclusively, will be subseryed by this
line, which certainly has no obvious CONNER
cisl advantages. 1T is plain that the lessons
of the Crimean war have been carefully re-
mehbered, and that Russia will strive to
profit by them in the future.

MINISTER TO ENGLAND.

The Hon. Robert C.. Schenck of Ohio has
been nominated and confirmed Minister to
the Court of ST. James. and in few days
viii start upon his mission. The difficult
ties of this position in our present relations
with England are great. Reverdy John
son and Mr.. Motley both failed and per-
haps no man can be successful, but there
is confidence that Mr.. Schenck viii sue
ceed as well as anybody the Presiden,
could appoint. He is a man of sagacity
and experience in public affairs, and his
character is of the right sort to look diff
Guilty squarely in the face and make the
best of it, He will not be very likely TO
be cajoled by good eating and drinking or
the batteries of the nobility into any bad
bargains, but will be guided by good judge
ment and honorable motives in whatever
diplomacy he undertakes. His nominal
ton appears to be favorably received in
England, and we trust there is a better feel
ing existing there for the settlement of the
Alabama claims.
Mr.. Schenck was born at Franklin
Warren county, Ohio, October A, 1909, and
is now consequently sixty-one years oil
age. He graduated at Miami University
in 1927, and remained at that institution
until 1929, acting as a tutor. He after
wards studied law and was admitted to the
bar, and settled at Dayton, in his native
State, in 1881. In 1910 he was elected to
the Ohio Legislature was reelected in
1912, and was a Representative in Con-
gress from Ohio from lS4S to 1851, serv
ing on many important committees, and
during the Thirtieth Congresses chairman
of the Committee on Roads and Canals.
On his retirement from Congress he was
appointed by President Fillmore minister
to Brazil, where he negotiated a number
of treaties. In 1861 he served rs brigadier
and was promoted major general in the
Union army for his conduct at the second
battle Of Bull Bun, in which he was Sc
verely wounded; and in 1862 was elected
to the Thirty-eighth Congress, serving as
chairman of the Committee on Military
Affairs. He was reelected to the Thirty
ninth Congress, and in 1865 he was APP
pointed by the President member of the
Board of Visitors to the West Point Ac-
ademy, and was president of the board.
He served on the Committee on the Death
of President Lincoln, and again at the
head of the Committee oil Military Affairs
was member of the National Committee
to accompany the remains of
President Lincoln to Illinois; also of the
Committee on Retrenchment, and was
one of the Representatives of the House
designated to attend the funeral of Gen.
Scott in 1866; be was also delegate to
the Philadelphia ''Loyalist Convention" of
1866, and to the Soldiers Convention held
at Pittsburg. He was reelected to the
Fortieth Congress, serving as chairman
of the Committee on Ordnance, dagain
of that on Military Affairs. He was re-
elected to the Forty-iirst Congress, in
which he served as chairman of the Com
mittee of Ways ard Means,

Somerset County, Supreme Judicial Court--Judgt
NickeySen.

Nlckeysen.
Several important matters were upon the
docket 10 be tried before the Supreme Judicial
Court OF Somerset Co. for the December term,
one Of which has already been disposed of, to
wit, Samuel Taylor, Fairfield, VS.. A. & 2. Co.
burn of Skowhegan, concerning the payment
of certain promissory notes given by said
Taylor in payment for timber lands Zone
eighth part of Attean tow nship in said county
Plaintiffs alleged that said notes were paid by
the transfer of certain marks of logs cut upon
the Attean since the date of purchase 1t
was thought that the case was finally disposed
of several years ago by the Coburns obtaining
judgment by reference to Messrs. Reddng-
ton of Augusta, Roberts of Bangor, and Broad
street of Gardiner. But by some technically
petition OF review was granted to Taylor and
the case presented for a second hearing, which
resulted in a disagreement by the jury, thus
leaving the case as previously settled with the
Coburns in possession. The jury stood eight
for plaintiff and four for defendant.
The second case, the trial OF which is now
| IN progress, Is Mlcnael NOrtOn vs. MARX
Lisherness ct ais, both of New Portland, in
which plaintiff alleges that defendant entered
his house with force and arms in the night
time, violently seized and dragged him out OF
the house in his night-elothes. bound his hands
together with a rope, covered him with tar
and feathers, jumped upon him, injured his
knee SO that he W, mt lame for several months,
knocked out his teeth, robbed him of about
500 in money, Scared his face, and other
wise inflicted serious injuries upon his person
for which he claims damages TO the amount OF
$4,000.
This is the second hearing in this case and
bids fair TO be long and interesting trial,
there being about fifty witnesses on either
side. Norton testifes to having distinctly

hours Friday morning, and told a very ptiful
story of the trials, tribulations and wrongs h.
has suffered from his neighbors and fellow
townsmer. He isa shrewd, clear sighted man
and shows by the subtle and sagacious man
ner in which he evades or attempts to evade
the questions put by the opposing counsel,
that he well understands how a jury receive
testimony. The second witness, Oldest son OF
plaintiff, stated in a clear and straightforward
manner his knowledge of the facts in the case,
which was substantially, that he was awaken
ed by noise, dressed and went out upon the
piazza, heard his fathers voice in distress
among the crowd, but was driven back into
the house by one of the party who carried a
club. Did not recognize anybody. After the
mob left he helped his father to get the tar
and feathers off his person and ont Of his hair.
Further testified to having told neighbor
subsequent to the first trial that his father tried
to induce him to testify to statements which he
knew nothing about concerning the money
which plaintiff pretends that he had taken
from him and which was in his shirt pocket.
The third witness, n second son of plaintiff
and evidently ''chip of the old block" testi
fed to having been awakened by noise like
man shouting for help, got up and ran to the
window and recognized several of the de-
PENDANTS standing or moving around about his
father who was lying upon the ground; says
it was so light that he could see distinctly.
Did not know whether his father had any
money about him that night or not. The
learned counscllors, Stewart for plaintiff and
Knowlton and Jones for defendants, are I'M
doubtedly well prepared for the contest, this
being the second trial and have bestowed
much labor in making the necessary prepare
tons.
