THEORY OF CHARLES SUMNER.

TO The EdifOr OF INC Trl0NRe.
SIR: The late Senator Sumner, in a very in
teresting conversation with once broached the idea
that the conventional picture OF Jesus OF Nazareth
OF ancient Greek sculptures represent
ing Zsus and confirmed this view with that wealth OF
learning which distinguished him. To those who have
had opportunity to study European galleries the point
hardly needs argument. Obviously the face of Jesus
is that OF a young ZeHs combining, however with the
expression of divinity that Of the man OF
ousinted with grief" The pretended letter OF entnus
doubtless based upon this conventional portrait mod
illed from the Greek Zeus A. W. THAYER.

Latest European dispatches admit
after all OF the talk, and after column
after column OF assumed details of
Schouvaloffs visit have been given
to the public, that little is known of
the intentions Of either England or
Russia. This much is known how
ever, that during the last six weeks,
while both countries have been talking
peace, they have been constantly pre-
pairing for war. England is enlisting
armies at home, others from Indiana,
and shipping horses and supplies
from the United States. Russia is
strengthening her position in the
field and buying ships and arms in
this country.

The Washington EUening Star has
an elaborate article on the resump-
ton OF specie payments which is be-
lieved to have the sanction OF the
Secretary Of the Treasury. 1t is said
that there can be nothing in the way
Of the Secretary having in the treas
ury, next January, the amount Of
coin, for resuming, he has calculated
on, namely, two hundred and five
million dollars. With this amount
he can, without difficulty, redeem the
then outstanding two hundred and
eighty-seven million dollars in green
backs The Secretary does not antic-
ipate that he will be called upon to
redeem more than one hundred and
two millions, but Is securing coin to
meet any emergency. 1t is thought
that greenbacks. being redeemed in
gold or silver, will be preferred by
the people to bulk coin. The only
thing that keeps gold above par is,
likely, the fact that custom duties are
payable alone in this coin, and the
chances are that the passage of the
bill making greenbacks receivable
for such duties will cause the slight
premium to disappear. Exports are
