The Personal Appearance of Jesus.

A correspondent of the Washington
Chronicle writes: con Sunday last Rev..
DIR. Newman delivered discourse upon
the humanity of Jesus Christ, in which
he stated that nothing has been handed
down to us in regard to His personal APP
pearance, many different views being en-
tertained on the subject Enclosed you
will find letter written by Publius
Lentulus, President of Judea, and sent
by him to the Senate of Rome, when the
fame of Jesus began to spread abroad
in the world. These are his words:
There lives at this time in Judea a
man of singular virtue, whose name is
Jesus Christ, whom the barbarians es-
TEEN a prophet, but His own followers
adore him as the offspring of the i'm
mortal God. He calls back the dead
from their graves and heals all sorts of
diseases with word or touch. He is
tall and well shaped; of an amiable,
reverend aspect. His hair is color that
can hardly be matched, falling into
graceful curls below his ears, and very
agreeably touching on his shoulders,
parted on the head like the Nazarites
His forehead is smooth and large !;
his cheeks without other spot save that
of a lovely red; his nose and mouth
formed with exquisite symmetry; his
beard thick, and of color suitable to
the hair of his head, reaching an inch
below his chin, and parting in the mid
die like fork; his eyes bright clear
and serene He rebukes with majesty,
consoles with mildness; his whole ad-
dress, whether in word or deed, being
elegant and grave No man has seen
him laugh, but he has wept frequently.
He is very temperate and wise a man,
for his excellent beauty and divine per.

GLEANLNGS, FROM THE MUSE.
AN OLD UMBRELLA.


An pIoumbrella in the hall,
Battered and baggy, quaint and queer
By all the rains of many year
Bent, stained, and faded-that is all.
Warped, broken, twisted by the blast
OF twenty winters, till at last,
Like some poor close-reefed schooner cast,
All water-logged, with half mast,
Upon the rocks, it finds a nook
OF shelter on an entry hook;
Old battered craft, how came you here7
Ali could IL speak, 'twould tell of one
Old Simon Dowles who now is gone
Gone where the weary are at rest
OF one who locked within his breast
His private sorrows DER his lot.
And in his humble work forgot
That he was but toiling bark.
While the brave newer ships swept by,
Sailing beneath a prosperous sky,
And winged with opportunities
Fate had denied to hands like his.
A plain old-fashioned wight was he
As these sport-loving days could see,
He in his youth had loved and lost
His royal true love. Ever since
His lonely life was 1ecked and crossed
BY sorrows nameless shadow TINS;
Yet never murmur from his lips
Told of his darkened SOULS eclipse.
often think / still can hear
His voice so blithe, his tones Of cheer,
As, dropping in to say "good day"
He gossiped in his old mans way
And yet we laughed when he had gone,
We youngsters couldn't understand
No matter If it rained OF shone
He held the umbrella in his hand,
Orif he set it in the hall,
Where other shedders of the rain
Stood dripping up against the wall,
His was too shabby and too plain
To tempt exchange; all passed itby,
Through showers OF rain were pouring down,
And all the cutters Of the town
Were torrents in the darkened sky.
He never left it once behind,
Save the last time he crossed our door,
Oblivious shadows DER his mind
Presaged his failing strength. Before
The morning he had passed away
In peaceful sleep from night TO day.
And here the old umbrella still
In its old corner stays to ill
The place, as best it may be, Of him
Who, on this wild and wintry night,
Is surely with the saints of light;
For whom my eyes grow moist and dim
While / this simple rhyme indite.

it's great deal of it fine clothes. The
bellies of my time did not depend so
much on what they were. They were

involuntarily, for she herself was one of

on. She was the daughter of one of
the Champlins, fine name in Newport
once; one of them married Abraham
Redwood's daughter, and one of the sis
tiers danced with General Washington at
the old Assembly Room in Church Street.
The daughter | speak of was great
beauty, and had all the gallants far and
near at her feet. Men were not so afraid
of marrying as they are now, and a
handsome girl like Sally Champlin was
greatly run after, no sutton being
ashamed of showing his preferences very
openly Sally had rejected a great

came proud gentleman who. meeting
the same fate, did not take it so meekly
as the others, and demonstrating with
her asked for some more definite reason
than she had given him for his rejec-
ton. Sally was used to very different
manner from this, and nettled at his in
dependence, she turned upon him sharply
with this answer:

very wonderful thing for man to be re-
Jected. | have refused twenty offers

We shouted with laughter at this
climax, and then one of the listeners in

THE United States Consul at St.
Johns, N. F., informs the Department of
State at Washington that he purchased
of one of the crew of the New Bedford
whaler A. Houghton, wrecked in Hud-
son Bay last June, one silver tablespoon
and one dessert spoon, supposed relics of
the Franklin expedition. The table
spoon has the letters J. G. F. engraven
thereon. On the face of the dessert
spoon is the head OF fish, with laurel
wreath, and on the back the English
crown and stamp. The story of the
sailor is that he received these articles
from the Esquimaux of Repulse Bay,
who had received them from native
chief, at whose camp the white man who
owned them died of scurvy while on
visit thereto.

UNITED STATES.

The South Carolina difficulty is at an
end, the republican Governor, Mr.. Cham
beriain, having retired, and left the field
to his rival, Governor Hampton. With
the similar trolbie in Louisiana, President
Hayes has not been 80 successful. The
commission sent to New Orleans in the
hope of settling it has effected nothing.
The HerGH says:
1.-THE i'll success achieved so far by the
commission, The inprActicability OF their
propositions, and the apparent lack Of
both power and purpose displayed, are
having a very bad effect upon the comlnu-
nifty, and unless something is soon accom-
plished may result disastrously. PuoIic
passions are again becoming iuAamed upon
both sides, inasmuch as the issue at stake
is q desperate one. Packard openly as
serts his intention to defend his govern
ment, even if the United States troops arc
withd' avn, aud the Nichols people are
equally determined, at all hazards, 10 en-
force either their own or "a military gov
eminent. Both sides think themselves
being trifed with, and both concede that
Mr.. Hayes wishes to dodge all RESPONSE
bility by a political trade to which neither
are inclined to become parties except upon
their own terms"
In California the jealousy with which
the Chinese are regarded has shewn itself
in q formidable shape. A number of the
poor fellows had been massacred at Chico,
and the Investigations which followed
have revealed the existence of a secret or
ganization for driving out Chinese Iabour
by violence. This gang Of %ruffians had
laid deliberate plans for numbering Chine>e
labourers and their american employers,
and for destroying the property of the
latter. Their bad deeds have been traced
to the instigation of a labour union in
Chico; and although the murderers have
been captured and imprisoned, further
trouble is feared ; for it is doubtful whe-
Their other members of the unlon will not
attempt to avenge the Imprisonment Of
their companions.

three men who cooked theif dinners at

agreeable that all OF the freigh!ers except
the son of Meyers gathered about them.
Young Meyers was suspicious and went
to n OF the wagons, where ne got his
shotgun and remained away from the
party during the conversation around
the campfire. One OF the strangers adj
hired a shotgun belonging to the
ireichters and took it to examine it,
suddenly he cooked it and leveled it,
stepped between the treighters and their
arms, and ordered them to throw up
their hands, saying they would take
what money there was in the outfit, A.
this young Meyers shot the robbar,
striking him in the faceand breast. The
robber wheeled and fired at him but
missed. The robber dropped the gun
and run. firing at the party with his re-
%yoiyer. One Of the freighters shot at
him with a rife, the ball striking him in
the arm. He fell and o after died.
The other two road agents fed, and have
not yet been captured The party,
under the deputy sheriff from here, are
