GENERAL CANBY'S WIDow.-There
seems cheering prospect that the appeal
for the widow of General Candy is rot to be
entirely without result. The city of Port
land, Oregon, has raised already s. 400 for
the fund, and we are informed by General
Ingalls, that some action in the same direc-
ton will be taken Immediately by the
Army and Navy club of this city. There
is no life in all our history which deserves
more richly than that of General Candy
such reasonable commemoration as would
lie in decent provision for his widow,
and the money ought to be raised without
any further delay.-Neao York Tribune.
Two custom-house employees in New
York, named Charles X. Lawrence and
George II. Gardner assigned their pay for
October to John e. Bliss, but afterwards
drew it themselves and refused to transfer
it to him. He then sued them in the first
district court, when the suit was dismissed
on the ground of being against public
policy. An appeal was taken to the COM
mon pleas, which affirmed the judgment.

Not relishing this, he brought his action
and got judgment. This was thought, to
be a proceeding demanding a council of
investigation, and that tribunal arrived at
four findings, viz: That the church did
wrong in falling to pay the pastor, his
salary; that the pastor did wrong in sueing
the church; that the church should apollo
gize to the pastor, and that the pastor
should apologize to the church. There
couldn't be anything fairer and squarer

says; Il want him to distinctly under

Well we had read somewhere before
that Satan was the father of lies, but did
not know he had assumed the garh OF

Now seriouly, althouth the trustee re-

nor photography are his, They further
know that he can neither compose SEN

fact, ltoo we'll known in this vicinity to
require proof that the Trustees had clos

singing class and intimated that they
had allowed the house to be used for DO

public acts as inconsistent, and for this
some religious bigots having more zeal

BIBLE CHRONOLOGY.

OF the chronology OF the Egyptian mon
archs, &c. Prof. Herman Line DIN, d.
D., says: 1.-THE different lists of Manetho,
banded down by the authors, give the
names of $50 Kings, reigning $3.50 years
between Menes the founder OF the King
dom, and Alexander the Great How
could Menes, living nearly 5000 B. c.,
be descendant of Adam, created only
5000 years-agos Critical study has re-
moved the difficulty, and brought Egyp
tian history within modern chronology
cal limits Another list drawn up after
and his disciple Apollodosus, which was
apparently designed to correct Manethos
blunders, reduces the number of Kings be-
tween Menes and Alexander the Great,
fn m $50 to 81, and the period of their
reigns from fifty-fve centuries to less than
twenty-five A closer scrutiny eliminates
the list still further, and gives a clue to
the discrepancies There were some
times four Kingdoms instead Of one, each
with its own capital ard royal dynasty.
There were sometimes two monarchs in
one Kingdom reigning Jointly. If Name.
tho's list, as is possible, includes all the
sovreigns of contemparaneous dynasties,
and all the joint sovreigns OF the same dy-
nasty, and separates them as if reigning
successfully, it is evident that his state
ments need the severe pruning they have
received. By making moderate allowance
for those contemnoraneous dynasties and
joint sovreigns. Egyptian time is easily
ment. NO nation has possibly rivaled
Egypt in cultivation and learning and as
Egypt becomes unfolded to US now, her
language and arts strikingly confirm
Bible history.
SEA souNDINGs AND DREDGING.
The Scientific seas soundingand dredg-
ings OF which our late lecturer gave so apt
a description, indicate shorter period of
time than the sayings of some geolo
gists allow.
If some assert diversity of strata,
and fossil fora and fauna found in them,
proved a diversity of age, and sand stone
rock with its peculiar fossils
common to it in all parts of the
earth prove terrestrial conditions favorable
to the formation of such strata, and FORMS
oflife combined at certain period, and at
later period these conditions changed,
and the change IL outward conditions
was attended by change in the forms
of life, (as the fossils bear witiess) what

Geology, and the Scriptures.

The truths OF the Bible dc not rest on
its apparent or real harme ny with the
facts and deductions of science. Some
mel scott at this assertion, but it is never
theless true. "And when the real founda
tions are once discovered, ali their beau
tiful simplicity and marvellous strength
fully comprehended, questiors of science,
will have little power to snake the chris
tian's confidence"
Could ii be shown Il at the Bible is in
perfect harmony with all true science, that
would be no proof of its divinity.
God not being dependent on the re-
SEARCHES of tie Gcologist to prove that
the Bible is his record. That has long
si,.ce been proven, and that 10 unpreju
diced miads beyond reasonable doubt
Moral and christian lnen are glad to see
that science in its purity is but confirma-
ton of Bible statements: For instance.
some biologists Lave laid Down a prin-
c;ple that the chalk, stand, stone, and OH
CT formations. belonged to distinct periods
of time, and, that of undesirable calcu-
lation con. paratlvely speaking. They
have no definite beginning number; but
-fdncying certain premises, they easily
come to erroneous conclusions
When the granite of primary rocks
were formed, they give us no data. The
formation of chalk and sandstone are
assigned to periods widely differing, and
yet they co-eXist, and are forming at the
same time.
Considering the times in which the
Scriptures were written, the many sub
jects with which it deals, there cannot be
found one assertion dixprcueds6y modern
science.
The book which spoke OF nearly every
thing in nature, earth, air, sea and sky

written By over forty different persons,
and all of varied talent as amanuensis, is

author was forty years student of the
wisdom,of Egypt, and of natures book.

pher of Greece and Asia nine hundred

are understood.
