Description of Christ.

This was found in an ancient manu.
script, sent by Publius Lentulus, Presi-
dent of Judea, to the Senate of Rome:
"There lives at this time in Judea a
man of singular character, whose name
is Jesus Christ. The barbarians esteem
him as a prophet, but his followers
adore him as the immediate offspring of
the living God. He is endowed with
such unparalleled virtue as to call back
the dead from their graves, and to heal
every sort of disease with word or touch.
His person is tall and elegantly shaped,
his aspect amiable and reverend. His
hair flows i'll those beautiful shades
which no united cOlors can match, fall
ing in graceful curls below the ears,
agreeably COUGHING on his shoulders,
and parting on the crown of his head,
like the head-dress of the sect of the
Nazarites. His forehead is smooth, and
his cheeks without spot, save that OF
lovely red. His nose and mouth are
formed with an exquisite symmetry, his
beard is thick and suitable to the hair of
his head, reaching little below his chin,
and parted in the middle like fork.
His eyes are bright, clear and serene
He rebukes with majesty. counsels with
persuasive language; his whole address,
whether in word or deed, being elegant,
grave, and strictly characteristic of so
exalted being. No man has ever seeu
him laugh, but the whole world has fire.
quently beheld him weep, and, SO per-
suasive are his tears, that the multitude
cannot withhold theirs from joining with
him. He is very modest, temperate and
wise. In short, whatever this phenome-
non may be in the end, he seems to pre-.
sent man of excellent beauty and di-
vine perfection, every way surprising
the children of men,"

to avoid the conclusion that thew have
been burned in mid-ocean. and not a

causes. The figures show that 1.155

BoD1E, CAL, Nov 10, 1877.
EDITOR APPEAL: According to promise
send you short communication from this
thriving camp. I arrived to-day, after hard
| trip and met with most cordial reception.
The town presents very lively appearance,
but you can assure your readers that there
are more men here at present than can pro-
cure employment They had better wait
until spring, when there will be plenty of
openings The camp cannot be said to be
over done, but it will be if there is any more
crowding in. There are three general mer-
chndising houses, of which ellison & Barber,
of your city, are the most prominent. A
dozen or more saloons, six restaurants, one
tin shop, one shoe maker shop and other
businesses are represented. The mines are
all looking well, and the camp has bright
future. Everybody is preparing for hard
winter, wood is high and hard to get. Had
a shooting scrape last night, but no damage
done, Mexican got off with fesher. They
tell me they have select fights about every
night, but with the exception of few dis
colored optics, which the owners say were
caused by falling down, no one would sup
pose there was anything to mar the peaceful
quietude of the town, 1 have good show
here and shall remain until spring anyway.

Hayes's Old Neighbors Don't Like His
Policy

columbus (O.) Special to Chicago Timesl
Ever since the order for the removal of the
troops from the New Orleans state house
there has been general kick among large
share of republicans, and men who two
months ago fairly worshiped Hayes now
damn him openly and forcibly. Many of the
old time party workers are respondent, and
say they have been tricked and played upon
by man to whom they contributed both
dollars and sweat to elect. Fully one-third
of the republican members of the general
assembly are little off on the southern pol
icy, and while few are willing to express
their dissatisfaction openly. others keep quiet
to avoid any split in the party, and in order to
win the next falls campaign, at which a
governor and general assembly which will
choose a United States senator are to be
elected. 1t is probably true that fair ma
jority of the republicans here stick firmly to
Hayes, some because they hold Office or
hope to; some because they hope for the
best, but the majority because they fully
believe Hayes is an honest man, and is doing
what he thinks is for the best. The demo
Gratis are well suited. and declare that their
party stands in better shape than it has for
years Very few of the leading men of
either party seem to take any stock in any
scheme looking to the formation of a new
political party whose platform shall be broad
enough tor everybody to stand on.
