ING ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 15 1870

nian; 1t betrays comparatively few indications
of dogmatic purpose; and there are strong
reasons for believing that the speeches of
Jesus recorded in il are in substance taken
from the genuine 'Logia3 of Matthew
mentioned by Papias, which must have been
written as early as A. d. 69-70, before
the destruction of Jerusalem. Indeed,
we are inclined to agree with our author that
the Gospel, even in its present shape (save
only in q few interpolated passages) may
have existed as early as A. d. so, since it
places the time of Jesus second coming i'm
mediately after the destruction of Jerusalem;
whereas the third evangelist, who wrote forty
five years after that event, is careful to tell
us THE end is not immediately" Moreover,
it must have been written while the Paulo-
Petrine controversy was still raging, as is
shown by the parable of the ''enemy who
sowed the tares," which manifestly refers
to Paul, and also by the illusions to ''false
prophets" (vii, 15), to those who say "Lord,
Lord, - and who least out demons in the name
of the Lord" (vii, 21-23), teaching men to
break the commandments ", 17-20) There
is, therefore, good reason for believing that
we have here q narrative written not much
more than fifty years after the death of Jesus,
based partly upon the written memorials of
an apostle, and in the main Trustworthy, save
where it relates occurrences of marvellous
and legendary character. Such is our authors
conclusion, and in describing the career of
the Jesus of history, he relies almost exclu-
sively upon the statements contained in the
first gospel. Let us now, after this long but
inadequate introduction, give brief sketch
of the life of Jesus, as it is found in our
author.
To be continued.

4O,5O0,0 900 roublcs. The increase Of
production may also be seen from
the import statistics. From 1926 to
1880 Russia imported cloth to the
amount of 100000 Wubles l,er
year; from 1880 to 1910, $4,000
roubles: and in 1868 only 27l, 800
roubles. In the tirst period, the OK
port Of Russia cloths to Asia was
only 400, 900 roubles; in 1915 it was
already 100000, and it was the
same in 1859: but in 1868 it
had sunk to 100000 roubles,
owing 10 the falling off in the
Siberian tea trade, though an
export of79l 900 roublcs to Europe
almost restored the difference. The
imports OF other woolens, however,
have 80 increased Of late years, that
the total imports have gone up from
100000 roubles in 1858, to 6,l33,-
900 roubles in 1868. The cloth ex-
ported to China is Il heavy, high
priced fabric, but pleases there,
and is able to compete against Eng.
fish cloths OF similar grades. The
ordinary and middle class, from 50
kopeks to one rouble 50 kopcks, the
orshine, are now able to stand foreign
competition without a Protective
duty, and are Of better quality and
cheaper than the similar productions
Of Moravia and Bohemia. So long
ago as the London Exhibition OF
1851, Russian cloths were, after a
careful comparison, declared better
than Austrian cloths at similar prices.

The Herd Law.

Chapter 26, section l, Laws Of The
18th General Assembly of the State
OF Iowa, provides that owners OF
stock shall be liable for all damages
done by their stock This provision
debars stock OF the right to Craze on
the open commons and makes corn
king of Iowa. 1t is claimed, by the
advocates Of this legislative enact
ment, that it is a herd law. That
name stands at the head Of that
enactment, tor what reason We are
unable to discern, unless it is the
same that an Iowa Legislator gave
for not wishing to change the name
of County Supervisors 10 that OF
judges. because judges sounded bad
ly. The Legislature thought SO and
we think SO, too, but do they sup
pose false names will give weight to
Iowa legislation?
Section provides that stock shall
not be herded in Iowa, it provides
that a few acres OF wheat, or sod
corn. on the open prairie, shall effect
ually prevent the herding Of stock in
any locality where the settlers wish
to prevent it or compel the herds
men to distroy the crops and pay
tribute to king Corn. 1t provides
that the rich farmer, who is able to
fence and pasture his stock, shall
monopolizc the beef and butter bust
ness of the State Of Iowa, that the
poor man must burrow in the earth
or leave Iowa. 1t says to the east
crn owners of western lands, plough,
SOW and reap, bear to your eastern
homes the munifliccnt reward of this
bountifully yielding soil, nor need We
permanently invest one dollar on the
soil or in the State Of Iowa.
Section 2 provides that the owners
ofimproyed lands have lien on the
stock ofrenters for any damages said
stock may do to the owners Of the
lard.
Section provides that man may
sieze the property of his fellow man..
hold it as security for an assumed
damage against himself which is a
violation of law and Of the primer
pie upon which law is founded, the
right Of man to hold, control, protect
and defend his own until he is de-
prived Of that by law enforced by
parties. That thing is
got up in the interest of a few heavy
farmers and spectators to the detri-
merit Of the whole people and Of ev-
cry business in the State Of Iowa.
The people called for herd law and
have got a pasture law and one that
presents some of the most monarch
zeal features that ever oppressed
people. J.E.

Ninevah he entertained the Ninnies
with a learned lecture on the sub

superstition Of ellc Alaska lal-

A correspondent OF tho San Fran
cisco Bulletin writes as follows from
Si.ka:
ut may be unknown to your rca-
dcrs that the Indians OF some por-
tons OF this territory have been IN
the habit OF sacrificing the life OF one
or more slaves on the death OF any
of their chiefs or medicine men.
This custom is based on the suppo.
sition that in their spirit land the
service of such slaves are necessary
to the comfort and well-being OF the
departed, and to avoid the trohble OF
employing such in that happy hunt
ing ground they dispatch one OF his
human chattles at the same moment

Cured here three weeks ago. About
10 o'clock at night the seut,nel on
the palisade gate, leading to Indian.
town, was attracted by the waiting
cry OF squaw; inqnirlng the cause
OF her distress, she gave him to I'M
derstand that her son was then tied
up preparatory to being stabbed-thc
usual mode OF dispatching them-for
the purpose above mentioned. The
commandant Of the post was notified,
and an officer was sent to rescue the
intended victim OF such barbarity.
On the officers arrival a strange
sight presented ITSELF. On bed
lay the dying chief; an intelligent
lookin. boy OF ten or twelve years
of age, bound hand and foot, looked
the incarnation of despair; around
him with drawn knives stood the rel.
atives OF the dying man, at whose
signal they would he buried in the
vilals OF the trembling youth. The

up fitfully by the smoulderin: FIRE;
the wild uncarthly sound OF the TIM
tin, the wailing death.cry OF the tribe
outside the house, made up a picture
to be appreciated only by a witness
of the scene. The officer immcdi-
a.ely released the boy and brought
him to the garrison, where he was
kept until the family of the depart
ed warrior promised not to modest
him in the future. THIS has been
the second instance OF the kind oc.

Many farmers are in the habit oil
selling the wood ashes that they
make to soap-makers tor fifteen to
twenty cents per bushel. Our ad.
vice is. that the next time an ash-cart
comes along, the driver exclaiming,
"Any ashes to sell?" to reply, NO.
empha,ically; "you needn't call here
again. We are not such fools as to
sell ashes at fifteen cents bushel,
when they are worth fifty cents a
bushel to us."
Well, they are worth fifty cents a
5ushcl to any farmer, ii they are pure
wood ashes. Coal ashes are not
worth carting to the field. The
chemical constituents OF wood ashes
are silica, alumina, oxide Of iron, OK.
ide OF manganese, potash, soda, sui.
phuric acid, phosphoric acid, chic.
ride and carbonic acii.
These constituent are all essential
to the growth Of vegetation; but
potash, the principal constituent, is
the most important 1t decomposes
organic substances, and renders many
inorganic substances soluble.
Sandy soils ale benefited by the
application OF wood ashes, and the
following crops are particularly in
creased by applying ashes; potatoes,
carrots, corn, beans, peas, clover and
grass generally.
A compost of hen manure, soil and
ashes is powerful fertilizer tor corn.
Put about three parts OF any finely
pulverized soil to one part ct hen
manure, and two parts OF unlcached
wood ashes. Mix we'll in March or
April, wetting the compost through
ly; and at corn planting time 1t will
be in good condition to use. Apply
a handful to a hill, aud the result will

fully believe that Iowa is the Gar
den State of the West. by position
it is the gate to the great North west
that stretches lar above il; anc laved
by the waters Of the two great rivers
that drain the prairies and mountains,
it must be the receptacle Of q large
portion of that vast wealth which
always loses by attrition in its pas
sage through great commercial chan
aels. Besides, Its soil is the richest
and its landscapes most inviting.
Everybody that has forty acres OF
land paid tor, is rich.
