The question Of hell has lately become the
question Of the day. The sudden discovery
that large number of ministers reDounce the
doctrine of shell fire. which has usually beer,
considered one of the main articles of Chris
tan faith, has naturally attracted attention.
70 the subject, and particularly to the question,
What testimony does tho Bible offer on this
subject? Canon Farrar, Of Westminster, 1t
may be remembered, asserted emphatically
that there was no such word as ''holl' used in
the Bible, and that, in all such places as il was
TO be found In the present TRANSACTIONS the
word had been Incorrectly translated.
Rev. Mr. Sweetzer, a Universalist of New
York, follows Canon Farrar, and shows the
exact meaning Of these various mistranslated
words. There are. he says. four words trans
lated into "hell' In the Bible" sheol," "ge-
henna," shades" and "tartarus." "Sheo"
which is Hebrew, is thirty-one times trans
lated as "hel thirty times as grave" and
three times as pit" II is evident, therefore
no says, that it simply means grave-"the
place where the dead GO Jacob, for instance
said: "You will bring my gray hairs TO sheol,"
and 1t is quite evident that he did not mean
hell More than once Jacob spoke of going to
sheol, while we have good testimony else
where that he did not go TO "hell'
Gehenna Is twelve times used in the New
Testament, and is always translated hell II
liz the Greek form, 80 DR.. Sweetzer says. of
the Hebrew word Ga-Hnnom, the Valley of
Hinnom, where the barbarous rites of Moloch
were celebrated, consisting of the sacrifice of
children by fire. When Josiah put an end to
this dreadful practice, he caused the valley
where it had been practiced to become an
nccursed spot, reserved for the deposit of filth,
and made the place of public executions. To
prevent this foul spot from oorrupting tho
atmosphere fire was kept continually burn

mother was a doctress, and prac-
ticed in the Feliciana parishes.
1t is said her father was acct
dentally drowned near New Or
leans, while serving in theCon-
federate army. Her husband,
jerks, was in the Radical Leg
islature in the plundering days
of 1869. She was the political
schemer of the firm, and held
high carnival at seconded
boarding houses, where hot as
signations and political jobbery
were the order day and night.
For a time, Kellogg gave her a
sinecure position. She is about
35, more celebrated for her dis
regard of truth than veracity,
and is ignorant enough to think
that brazen effrontery and in
science will pass for intelligence
and brilliant repartee. In court
ing notoriety, she has simply
made herself Infamous, and, in
stead of making of herself a
political heroine, she has simply
earned the reputation of a hired
perjurer. In addition, she has
the reputation of being more
remarkable for her liberal views
of morality than her beauty,
and is more noted for her def
ance of the code of moral ethics
as established by polite society
than it's observance.

Sherman's Female Swearer.

Louisiana has the distinguish
ed dishonor of producing the
greatest female economizers of
the truth in this age of prevari-
cation. They are the notorious
Eliza Pinkston and Mrs. jerks.
1t is difficult to determine which
is the greatest perjurer. In fact,
both are entitled to champion
ship, as they differ only in color,
and will be known in criminal
history as the Ananias sisters
of infamy.
When John Sherman, now
Secretary of the Treasury, and
other visiting statesmen ballot
box-stuffing bashi- bazouks, were
in New Orleans, stealing the
vote of this State, this Mrs.
jerks played a prominent part.
The scheme of the visiting for
gers was to get read headed Jim
Anderson and Tom Anderson to
falsify the returns from the Fe-
liciana parishes. Before this
was done Anderson and Weber
demanded a written guarantee
from John Sherman, now Secre-
tary of the Treasury, that they
would be "taken care Of" or, in
the plain vernacular, given fat
Offices, after the work was done.
To make things binding, they
addressed the following note to
John Sherman, and sent it to
him, at the st. Charles Hotel, by
Mrs. jerks:
"SIR: We have carefully consid
cred the arrangements advanced by
you in our interview. Your assn
rance that we shall be taken care of
is scarcely specific enough. In case
we pursue the course suggested by
you, We should be obliged to leave
the State. Will you, therefore,
state in writing who We shall look
to for the fnlfilment of these pro-
misesf D. A. WEBER.
JAMES E. ANDERSON
Mrs. jerks remained in the
parlor, with the other conspira-
tors, awaiting an answer. John
Sherman, now Secretary of the
United States Treasury, wrote
the following answer, dated Nov.
20, 1876, and dispatched it by
his female messenger:
"GENTLEMEN-Your note of even
date has been received. Neither Mr..
Hayes, myself, the gentlemen who &C
company me, nor the country at large,
can ever forget the obligations under
which you have placed US should you
stand firm in the position you have
taken. From long and intimate &C
quaintance with Governor Hayes, 1
am justified in assuming responsibility
for promises made, and win guarantee
you win be provided for as soon after
the 4th Of March As may be practical,
and in such manner as will enable you
both to leave Louisiana should you
deem it necessary. Very truly yours.
JOHN SHERMAN"
These bashi- bazouks succeed
ed in stealing the vote of the
State, Hayes was inaugurated,
and John Sherman, author Of
of the above letter, was made
Secretary of the United States
Treasury for his part of the Grim
inal work. As a reward to An

Congress voted $4,000 for a
sure cure for the hog cholera.

1t seems that Hayes is going
to convert the Executive Man
sion into a public hall, wherein
to marry off all Of his poor rela-
tons.

charged that Weber had been
assassinated by the Democrats
because he "dared do his duty
to his party" But the Repub-
licans feared him, as he knew
too much, and Sherman knew
"dead men tell no tales"
Anderson became suspicious,
and though in quest of g some
warm climate" thought Fell
ciana was too hot, and deter
mined not to place himself where
he might be "bulldosed" by the
Democrats, or assassinated by
his Republican co-conspirators.
Anderson, under date of June
10, 1877, thus writes his opinion
of things to his friend, Tom
jerks, the alleged husband of
Mrs. jerks:
"My Dear Tom when those
Republican dead-beats came to Lou
isiana last fall to have q fair count
Dave Weber and l refused to fall
into line until we secured a written
guaranty that we would be provided
for. / am convinced it was on
Weber's person the day he was
killed. He had charge of it. Now,
what has become of that paper' If
we can get possession of it we will
make this administration hump.
My own impression is that it was
secured by his murderers, and that
it played an important part in
bringing about the present state Of
affairs. If you can prosecute any
inquiries in regard to it do so, but
act carefully. j. E. ANDERSON"
But his murderers did not Sc
cure the letter, and the secret of
their infamy did not die with
the assassination of Weber.
1t fell into the hands of Mrs.
Weber. With the shrewdness
of an adventures and profess
sional blackmailer, the expe-
rienced woman jerks knew
there was "money in it," She
finally obtained the letter from
Mrs. Weber by promising her
half of the money she might
blackmail Sherman out of. 1t
is thought Mrs. jerks received
S., 900 for the letter, with the
understanding that she would
attempt to clear Sherman by
swearing that she was the author
of the letter. She accordingly
swore that while waiting in the
parlow below, she opened and
read the letter addressed to Mr..
Sherman, and, Immediately, in
the presence of all the visiting
statesmen dictated a reply to
Anderson and Weber, forging
Sherman's name. She intimates
she dictated the letter to Weber,
who wrote, and he is dead.
This woman, who swears
like a hired girl" stoutly main
tains that Sherman did not write
the letter. But Sherman does
not deny it. He says che might
have written it," and almost ad-
mits its authorship when he
says "there are things in it I
would likely have written at
that time" This passage refers
to the guarantee to provide for

A Crows FOur.FoOted FayOrite.

LAST spring Mr.. William Sinclair of
Cambray caught young crow before
it could fly and brought It home, and it
soon became quite tame. 1t struck up
warm friendship with young hound
belonging to Mr.. Sinclair. The crow
always was around with the hound,
shared his meals, and slept in his box
at night on the bottom, not seeking n
perch, unless they were disturbed dur.
ing the night, when he would come out
and fly up into one of the trees near by
and remain there till morning. When
given food it would invariably take a
part to the hound. 1t would not give
it to him at once, but would fly around
just above his head with q piece of
meat or crust of bread in his bill and
keep teasing him for quite while with
it, and then would finally let him have
it. But instinct began to be too power
full, and he concluded that he must go
to other quarters for the winter, and it
was amusing to see how he tried to
coax the hound away with him. He
would fly away a little piece and then
light and cav to the dog, then he would
fly back, and seemed in great distress
because he could not induce his four
footed friend to go to warmer quarters
for the winter; but finding he would not
leave he at length flew off.-Toronto

The Dead Body OF . North Carolina
Woman Turned to Stone.

It is fact not generally known that
the cemetery of the Methodist Church,
in Hendersonville, N. c., contains a
petrifed human body. About the year
1886 Miss Adeline Byers lived with her
father, Francis c. Byers, fifteen miles
south of this place, in Henderson Coun-
ty. She was q bright, sweet girl, much
beloved by all who knew her, and her
hand was sought in marriage even be-
fore she was Of manageable age. At
last she was won by William Pinkncy
Murray, whom she had known long and
well. Soon the nuptials were cole
brated, and the bride and bridegroom
set out in search of new country, fol-
lowing the setting sun to the Mississip-
pi Valley. There they located and be-
gan the journey of life together in real
earnest. Prosperity and happiness
came to them, until at an unexpected
moment death cut down Mrs. Murray
in the very prime of life. The discon-
ISOLATE widower, c0nsigning the body of
his deceased wife to the dust, as he sup
posed, sought "surcease Of sorrow
in the wilds of Texas. A few years aft
erward DR.. Josiah johnson, Intending
to return to North Carolina, whence he
had removed with his brother-in-law
Mr.. Murray, disinterred the body of
Mrs. Murray for the purpose of carry
ing it back with him. Imagine how
amazed he was to lind it in the coffin
