ThesFirst MISUNDERSTANDING Con-
corning the Divinity of Christ.

The following translation from pas
sages quoted by Luthardt, and BersIer,
is thus introduced in one of the Oxford
University Lectures by Prof. Llddon,
d. D.:
When conversing, as was his habit,
about the great men of the ancient
world, and comparing himself with them
Napoleon turned, it is said, to Count
Montholon with the inquiry, 'Can you
tell me who Jesus Christ was? p The
question was declined, and Napoleon
proceeded, "Well, then, will tell you.
Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and
myself have founded great empires /;
but upon what did these creations of
OuI genius depend? Upon force. Jesus
alone founded his empire upon love,
and to this very day millions would die
for him. =. . think | understand some
thing of human nature; and | tell you,
all these were men, and | am il man !;
none else is like Him Jesus Christ was
more than a man -. | have inspired
multitudes with such an enthusiastic
devotion that they would have died for
me, but to do this it was necessary
that | should be Uisibly present, with
the electric influence of my looks, of my
words, of my voice. When | saw men
and spoke to them, L lighted up the
e al in hi
Christ alone has succeeded in SO raising
the mind of man towards the Unseen,
that it becomes insensibie to the bar
riers of time and space. Across IL chasm
of eighteen hundred years, Jesus Christ
makes demand which Is beyond all
others difficult to satisfy He asks for
that which a philosopher may often
seek in vain at the hands of his friends,
or father of his children, or bride of
her spouse, or man of his brother.
He asks for the human heart He will
have it entirely to Himself. He de-
mands it Internationally and forth
with His demand is granted. Wonder
full ! In defiance of time and space, the
soul of man, with all its powers and
faculties, becomes an annexation to the
empire of Christ. All who sincerely
believe in Him, experience that remark
able supernatural love towards Him.
This phenomenon is unaccountable; it
is altogether beyond the scope of mans
creative powers. Time, the great de-
stroyer, is pOwerless to extinguish this
sacred flame time can neither exhaust
its strength nor put limit to its range.
This it is which strikes me most 4; |
have often thought of it. This it is
which proves to me quite convincingly
the Divinity of Jesus Christ"
If the first Napoleon was not theo-
Logan, he was at least a man whom
vast experience had taught what kind
OF forces can really produce lasting
effect upon mankind, and under what
conditions they may be expected to do
SO. The time came when the good
Providence of God chained down that
great but ambitious spirit to the rock
of st. Helena; and the cOnqueror of
civilized Europe had time to gather up
the results of his unparalleled life, and to
ascertain with an accuracy not often at
tainable by mOnarchs or cenguerors,
his own true place in history.

English photographers avoid the
strain on the sitter's eyes which usually
results in CHASTITY stare, by having "a
clock face us the point to which they
are directed, the eyes being allowed to
travel slowly from the figure XII all

this process is so moderate as not to in
terfere with the Photographic process,
and the pictures are much better than

A SECRET WORTH KNOWING BY
HOUSEKEEPERS.- sort of trade secret
among uphOlsterers it is said is this
recipe for Kidding furniture of moths /:
A set of furniture that seemed to be
alive with the larvae, from the month
it came new, and from which hundreds
of these pests had been picked, and
brushed, was set into room by itself.
Three gallons of benzine were pur-
chased, at 30 cents gallon, retail.
Using IL small watering pot, with a fine
rose sprinkler, the whole upholstery
was saturated through and through
with the benzine. Result: Every moth,
larvae and egg, was killed. The ben
zine dried out i'll Il few hours, and its
entire odor disappeared in three or four
days. Not the slightest harm happen
ed to the varnish, or wood, or fabrics.
OF hair stuffing. That was months ago,
and not sign of a moth has since APP
peared. The carpets were also well
sprinkled all round the sides of the
room with equally good effect. Fol
furs, fannels, indeed all wooden articles
containing moths, benzine is most val
liable. Put them in Il box, sprinkle
them with benzine, close the box tight
ly, and in day or two the pests will
be exterminated, and the benzine viii
all evaporate on opening. In using
benzine great care should be taken thai

OMAHA, Neb., May 2l.-Orlando Cas-
Ter wa executed yesterday afternoon at
Seward, Nebraska, for the murder and
robbery Of George L. Munroo, in July.
1878. The mob tore down the Enclosure

although the law says executions must
be in private. The Sheriff appeared and
announced that the mob had prevented
him from executing the law to its fullest
extent, but that the execution would
proceed. Cassler had been brought out
and placed in q wagon, when he made a
speech to the people, stating that he was
dying an innocent man, and that he
would on the other shore meet those
who had sworn his life away here. At
Has Cassler was brought out, and took
his place upon the platform. County
Clerk Graham read the death warrant.
Casslsr said he supposed the crowd were
all there to witness his death for o crime
he did not commit. he was sorry to die
in this way. but II seemed necessary.
He was perfectly cool and collected, and
said no hoped to meet his friends in
heaven. He did not falter or move q
muscle. The drop fell at l:30. The
fall was Ave feet, but the neck was not
broken. and he slowly stranglsd to death.
In nine minutes he was pronounced
dead.
