They have discovered, however, that
in view of the recent great revival in

fallen to Alexander Troup, pestilent

Daniel Webster was always firm
believer in the divine character of
the Holy Scripture. Some one
speaking in his hearing of the
sublime poetry of the Old Testa-
ment, he at once and seriously re-
piled: "Ah. my friend, the poetry
of Isaiah and Job and Habakkuk is
grand, indeed; but when you have
lived as I have, sixty-seven years,
you will give more for the four
teenth or seventeenth chapter of
Johns Gospel, or for one of the
epistles, than for all the poetry in
the Bible"

ings and sentence of the court martial of Janu-

The charges upon which DIR. Hammond was tried
were. first, violation of law second. corruption. and
third, falsehood In regard to the first charge the
Secretary of War expresses the following conclu-
sion:-

The charge of talsehood is not sustained. and the
Secretary Is of the opinion that the slight founds-
