Personal Appearance of jesus,

A correspondent OF the Washington
Chronicle writes: lon Sunday last Rev Dr.
Newman delivered a discourse upon the
humanity Of Jesus Christ, IN which he
stated that nothing had been handed down
to us in regard to His personal appearance
many different views being entertained on
that subject. Enclosed you Will find let

of Judea. and sent by him to the Senate of
Rome. when the fame OF Jesus began to be
spread abroad IN the world. These are his
words:
There lives al this time in Judea a man
Of singular virtue, whose name is Jesus
Christ. whom the barbarians esteem a
prophet. but His own followers adore Him
as the offspring of the immortal God. He
calls back the dead from their graves. and

parting IN the middle like fork; His ewes

The New York Manifesto in ChicRgO-Cpin.
ions OF the Tribune and Times.
[From the New York Tribune


CHICAGO, March 3l.-The Tribune, COM
the New York declaration, says Horace
Greeley is somewhat too we'll known to need
introduction He represents larger follow
ing in the State of New York than any other
Republican politician. His name stands,
in fact, for the Fenton wing OF the Repu5-
lican party. which, until it was compelled
to fight with the whole personal power OF
the President. and with the whole political
plumber of the CustOmhOuse, was the Re-
publican party of New York" The other
sigriers are similarly introduced. Further
on it remarks: 1.-THE inference that, be-
cause the Liberal Republicans do not seek
to control the primary conventions, ana
pack the delegations to the Philadelphia
convention, therefore they confess them
selves in the minority in the Eepubii-
can party, is not a fair or tenable one.
The Liberal Republicans have no money
to expend, no Offices to bestow, no threats
to WELD, and no favors of any kind to
promise. They are in the same condition
that the Republican party itself was in the
campaign of 1860. They have nothing but
honest men-bold, determined, self sacrj
ticing men-and sound principles to Offer.
These are sufficient reasons why the camp
followers and suffers of politics, who run
the primaries and torchliglit professions.
are not yet with us. They will be in at the
death, ready to take their share OF The
plumber; but at present, when there are
likely soon to be blows to give and take.
they are making for the rear. There IS a
very important struggle brewing. 1t means
business. The Cincinnati convention will
meet in force and will act. Those who
nave been pooh-poohing the pending effort
TO reform Republican administration had
better get on sure footing, or the glory OF
the Lord will shine round about them be-
fore they are quite ready for it,
The Times to-day says, speaking OF the
New York Liberal movement: Next to the
ment all over the country, which have ap-
peared since the political event of Column
bus, perhaps the most significant lndIca-
ton Of the drift of public thought is found
in the response of representative Liberal
Republicans in New York to the overtureS
of Liberal Republicans in Missouri. The
twenty signers Of the New York response
are all well-known political leaders, in the
popular sense Of the term; that is, saga
cious. fore-looking politicians, who follow
public sentiment until the good is clearly
in sight, and then pass to the front. II
strctness, it is not, as Mr.. Greeley calls it
the first une9Uivocal response in the East
to the overtures of the Liberal Republicans
of the West for consultation at Cincinnati
ON May L. The first unequivocal response
to that overture appeared in that ground
swell of popular sentiment which made this
more definite overture possible. The New
York letter is a generalization of the move
ment OF public sentiment which has pre-
ceeded it; coordination, by few repre-
sentative men, OF the sentiments OF many
citizens before expressed but less definitely
formulated.

UNREST.


II was so lonely" a violet said,
As it nestled close to an eagles breast,
so tired too, of the dust and the dew
God sent you, think, to give me rest.
Bear me away to the gates OF day,
To heights that are forever glad and green;
And safe on your breast bird in its nest,
Let me learn what living ana loving mean"
The W ind crept cold to the eyre's edge,
That night from it's cavern beside the sea.
And the bird slept well; but the pride of the dell
Forgotten and faded, cried "Ah me-
For the sweet. sweet dream by the shadowy stream,
For the lonely life used to hate,
For the dusk and the de W, SO tender and true"
But the wind made answer, " Too late 100 late.
To-day, in the calm of his cold content.
High on the cliffs the bold bird sits.
And never thought of the harm he wrought
Through the sunny space of his memory Hts.
But the wind in glee, Creeps up from the sea,
And finding the violet doomed aud dead,
Watts it away from the gates of day"
And bur.es !. down where the dusks are shed.

IF WE KNEW,

Il we knew the baby fingers
Pressed against the window pane
Would be cold and stiff tomorrow
Never trouble us again
NOnld the bright eyes of our darling
Catch the frOwn upon our brow!
Would the print of rosy fingers
fex us then, as they do now
ah, those tie. ice-coM fingers,
How they point our memories BACK
TOthe hasty words and actions
Stewn along our backward track!
Eow those little hands remind US,
As in snowy grace they lie,
Mt to scatter thorns-but roses
FOR our reapiDg, by and Dy
Strange we never prize the music
Till the sweet-YOiCrd blrd mas ilo"H
Strange that we should slight the Nleiet5
Tillthe lovely flowers are gone!
Strange that summer skies and sunshine
Never seemed one-half SO falr
:, when winters snowy pinlons
Shake the white down III the air!
,.,ps from which the seal of silence
None but God can roll away.
Never blossOmed in such beauty
As adOrns the mouth today;
aud sweet words that freight our memory
With their beautiful pes filme,
come 10 rs in sNetttr accents
Through the portals OF the tomb
Let us gather up the sunbeans
Lying all around orr path;
[ ct us keep the wheat and roses
Casting out the thorns and chat;
Let us Ana our sweetest comfort
IN the blessings of today
y it'll patient hand removing
All the OIiers from our way.

Chief Justice Chase's Programme.

This is special 70 the st. Louis Tires:
WASHINGTON. April "a circular letter
is going to parties in different portions o.
the country, asking the use OF their names
to be appended 10 a call for a convention TO
be held somewhere in the Middle States, in
the interest OF Chief Justice Chase. So
soon as the parties are heard from the call
is to be published. This movement IS with
the consent of the Chief Justice. who. with
full knowledge Of the political situation,
is OF the opinion that now is the best time TO
bring forward his claims. They announce
that the matter is to be fought out in tie
Cincinnati convention between the friends
of Judge Davis and Justice Chase. each
representing widely different political views.
They also declare that John Quincy Adams.
OF Nlassac husetts, tavors the movement, and
is generally conceded to be the proper man
for the second place on the ticket. No
party was ever more in earnest than the
friends OF Chase in this matter
