ADeIusIon Exposed by the Microscope.

Let us instance q noble service
rendered our common humanity by
the microscope.
How often, like some spectacular
scenes in a drama, do we find in
the pages of the Old-World history
passages of deep pathos and fierce
passion, and both alas! occurring as
the offspring of religious superstition.
So there were miraculous apparitions
of blood, one while in rain from the
heavens, and again in spots in the
dwellings of God and of men. Ofcourse
these were portents of most dire signI-
ficance. The recital is too long, for
even in Christian chronicles it covers
thousand years. In 1862, shocking
to tell, while ministering at the altar
of his church at Bolsena, Bohemian
priest was seized with the terrible
temptation to doubt the transubstane
of the wafer which he had just conse-
Grated. Horrified at his own guilt
the celebrant of the mass beheld drops
or blood oozing from the sanctified
Host. All were awe stricken at the
miracle, and the Church instituted in
commemoration the feast of Corpus
Christi. Such was the pious legend.
In the fourteenth century, when
Heinrich Won Bulow had destroyed the
village and church of Wilnach, as il
to show that Heaven was panied at
the sacrilege, eight days afterward the
Host on the alter was observed to be
stained with drops of blood
Near the close of that fourteenth
century appeared Raphael, a wonder
fui man, with a genius sublime, with
passions groveling, and withal relig-
iousness that made him feel and pass
for devout. In the new celebrated
stanze of Raphael in the Vatican is
that miracle of this painters genius
"Miracolo di Bolsena.n It's exhibition
at each feast of Corpus Christi inten-
sfied the Church's conception of the
so-called miracle which confirmed the
faith of the Bohemian priest. Unhap-
PLY the bloody portent returned; the
Host was again spotted with gore.
The zeal of the ecclesiastics became
insane, for, horrible to relate, thirty
eigh innocent Jews were burned at
the stake. For what? For crncifying
the Lord afresh, for torturing the Host
until it bled!
In 1924 the "blue Mosellep was hor-
rified with rain of fsupernatural blood;
and again in 1S48 this unnatural gore
fell from heaven. And now Ehren-
berg takes the matter in hand for so
Der Investigation, and the microscope
alone is to determine for the supersti-
tions of men. This great man dissIpa-
ted the miracle entirely by exciting
wonder In another direction, for he
announced that these bloody rain
drops were composed of real living or
ganism, but so minute was each in
dividual that it would take over forty
billions of them to make one cubic
inch.

cheat us out of it?" TO all such |
answer, they will if they can, but
thank the American people the job is
evidently too large for them, The
fraud will be too open and the work
too hold forgery. Gov. Hayes ought
to blush at the very idea, "
One thing is certain, Hayes is not
elected and every streak of new intel
ligence confirms the fact. Well then
what is the matter? Why, Chandler
SAYS he means to have him counted in
whether he is elected or not. The
sentiment Of America says differently.
Even Grant says it wont do To lake

The Abingdon ITuiIion Of last
Friday, denies, without comforting
with Capt. Milton White, the story
of his having been neeccd 10y a man
named Caperton. The denial comes
to Us after the printing OF the outside
of this issue Of the NEWS with the
article from the Salem Conservative.
The minute PARTICULARLY with which
that paper details the alleged affair,
carried to our mind evidence OF tGe
truth of the story The denial Of the
Ihgiaidn would seem to indicate that
Capt Whites friends in Abingdon
know nothing Of it.
1t will be remembered that few
years ago scoundrei calling him
self Caperton was about to fleece the
Masonic Lodge Of this town, and
would have done 50, bat for the inter
veution of the editor Of dis paFrr.-
He did actually get ten dollars subse-
ouently from the Lodge at Abingdon.
Itseems that tie scoundrel las again
been bold enough to ply his vocation
here, OF that stupendous and min
utely detailed lie has been coucocted.
