The new bounty law just passed by Con-
gress relating to soldiers Of 1861, as explain
ed to us by George f. Weeks, Esq, United
States claim agent, of this city, is as follows
A bounty of 800 is to be given to all nom
commissioned officers, privates, musicians
and artifcers who enlisted prior to July 22d,
1861, and were mustered into the United
States service prior to August 9th, 1861, pro-
vided that such soldier has not received
bounty of 500 already for such enlistment
and service. The bill is intended to reach the
class of men Except ofioers) who enlisted
prior to July 22d, 1861, who have received
no United States bounty, but were promised
bounty of 800 by proclamation of the
President Of the United States May 3d. 1861,
and subsequent orders of the War Depart
ment issued in pursuance thereof.
The new Pension office in Granite Hall
block, Market square, which has been fitted
I'D and is now occupied by Col. F. NJ. Drew,
Pension Agent, is one of the most pleasant
offices in the city, and is in position easy Of
access to those having business to transact.
The rooms have undergone repairs since the
removal of the police court, the walls having
been painted and the wood work grained.
The large windows admit an abundance OF
light, the rooms are high, and the means OF
ventilation good. We understand that the
black walnut desks, tables and stands, with
which the rooms are furnished, were made by
Mr.. I. c. Hovey. They are certainly pretty
pieces of furniture, and are fitted up with
special reference to the uses of the Office.
Most excellent facilities are now provided for
the transaction of the important business Of
the pension department. Col. Drew has two
clerks, Miss Annie p. Ladd and Mr.. Frank

A distinguished German scholar,
Herr Kelb, in a recently published
work, considers that he has fixed the
true dute of the C,ucitixion. He shows
that there was total eclipse Of the
moon concomitant with the earthquake
which occurred when Julius Caesar
WAS assassinated, OH the 10th Of March,
b. G. Al. He had also calculated the
Jewish calendas to A.D- 31s and the
result Of his researches confirms the
fact recorded by the Evangelists of
the wonderful physical events that ac-
companied the CrucIfixion. His as
Economical calculations also show that
on the 9th day of April, A. d. 81,
there was total eclipse of the sun,
accompanied, in all probability. by
the earthquake spoken of in Mathew.
This mode of reckoning is verified by
another calculation, made by calculat-
ing backward from the great total
eclipse Of April, 1918, which also gives
April 9Th us the date of the new moon,
4. ID. 81. AS the Vernal equinox of
the year fell on March 25, and the
Jews at their feast of the passover on
the following new moon, 1t is clear
that April 9th was Unidentified with
Nisan IA of the Jewish calendar, which
moreover, was on Friday, the day of
preparation tor the Sabbath, and this
agrees with the Hebrew Talmud, SO
that astronomy, archaeology, Tradition
al and Biblical history seem to unite
in fixing the date of the Crucifxion
at April 6, A. ID. 81.

4 Novel Pan to Raise Money.

The North China News tells the fol-
lowing: An extraordinary feat has been
performed by Buddhist priest, with
the view of raising money to build a
temple at Soochov, whence the man
had come on begging expedition. He
found people Indifferent to his holy OBJ
ject, and very unwilling to part with
their dollars. With devotion more
than worthy of the cause, he resolved
to stir up some interest and cause mon.
ey to flow i'll by an extraordinary ey-
pedlent. He announced among the
Chinese that he would allow himself to
be locked up in wooden box for
seven days, during which period he
would remain in an upright position,
ana without food or sleep. On We'd
nesday morning he was accordingly
placed in a cage p feet wide and )!
feet high, just sufficiently large to adj
NIT him standing upright. The bot
tom of the cage was studded with nails,
SO that his feet should have space only
between the nails sufficient for them to
rest on, and a couple of slight bars in
front formed a rest for his arms. The
native public We're invited to prove the
genuine character OF the modification
by locking the good man themselves if
they pleased, and about 80 people
brought locks of different kinds and
secured the door as many times
over. The cage was a close one,
With a few open bars near the
bottom for the admission of air. 1t
was placed IN Joss-roOm in HOopch
road, passing in and out of which
crowd of people might be seen day and
night, during the seven days, religious
exercises being engaged in the while,
by the priests. The devotee endured
his painful incarceration with remarka-
bic fortitude, the only relief afforded
him being an occasional glass of
water, and he emerged looking 80 all
appearance little the worse. On eXami
nation, his pulse was found to beat 81,
and was steady, while his skin was
moist, though hot. After his release,
the cage was broken up and sold piece
meal to the Chinese, every nail bring
ing more than It's weight in silver.
The desired result of calling forth lib
eral subscriptions was also attained.

, A Woman's Peace Congress, organ
lied by Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, was
held in London, on July s, under the
presidency of Lady Bowring, among
those present being Sir John Bowring,
Prof. Seeley, Mrs. Ernestine l.. Rose
Mr.. Mottershead, and Mr.. Aaron Pow
ell, of New York. Lady Bowring, N
opening the proceedings, said she
thought women had more to do with
the subject of war than, perhaps, they
imagined, If they could inaugurate a
moral movement on a large scale it
must emanate from the home. The
home influences had great deal to do
IN this matter, and If women were
banded together in tn interests Of
peace they might command peace and
dispel anything like warlike and tn.
multuOus feelings. She wished that
the women of England would emulate
tho spirit which had moved their good
sister from America. Mrs. ". Howe
said she firmly believed that every hui
man relation must be sifted before
they could get peace IN human society,
thorough, lasting, and entire. Peace
outcast, but the freedom of the citi-
zen it meant Justice it meant the
majestic verdict of the collective hui
man reason; it meant religion, not the
hlerarchal maintenance of a creed, but
the great inspiration of the human
soul.
