M. Renan.
The Life and Work of the Author of the
 ssVie de Jesus.''

The Life and Work of the Author of the ssVie de Jesus.'
 lFrom the London Truth.1
 Ernest Renan was born ffty-seven years ago and was destined by his parents for the priesthood. It was while terminating his studies at the seminary of St. Sulpice, in Paris, that he began to entertain scruples as to the reality of his vocation He was already an excellent Hebrew scholar and well versed in Aramaic and Arabic, while he had few ri vals in his mastery of Greek and Latin. The Church of Rome considers the knowledge of this last tongue as alone indispensable for those who are to follow the ecclesiastical pro- fession, being wise in her generation; for man who has never read the Scriptures in the original is less likely to be assailed with doubts as to the precise nature of their historic bear ing. Still the church encourages those of her servants who wish to go further to read St. Paul and Isaiah in the languages in which they dictated All she asks of them, how ever, is, that they shall implicitly accept her solution of any difficulty that may occur to them.
 Unfortunately, Renan was not one of those youths who are content to take their religion on trust. He asked puzzling questions, and instead of receiving satisfactory answers, was bidden to beware of intellectual pride, and warned that the search after truth might be pushed too far. Thus spoke the preceptors. He turned sadly from them, and tried to see if any of his brother pupils could help him, but he was too far the intellectual and moral superior of most of his young contempora- ries to gain much assistance in that quarter He fell back at last, as we have most of us to do, on himself gave up all attempts to be- ieve that which seemed incredible to his un-, aided reason, and finally abandoned a religion the primary tenet of which insists on thef fact that man is not sufficient of himself to com prehend the scheme of the universe, and must therefore submit his judgment to the lessons of Revelation.
 One must be candid, and while regretting tchiefy for his own saze) the position which Renan has taken up, must admit that he shows none of the bitterness of the renegade. Indeed, the term cannot in fairness be ap- piled to him. He professes, with perfect sincerity, to honor the communion he has quilted and to admire the virtues of the great mass of it's ministers. He is no advocate of disestablishment, no iconoclast. Nay, he has been at pains to assure the world that the spirit of Christ's teaching is the best medicine for the ills of our age. In striking preface to one of the later editions of the Life of Jesus'' he bids the workmen of Paris dismiss the idea that society can be reorganized on the basis of materialism
 What, then, is Renan's quarrel with ortho- doxy9 Simply that he denies the possibility

Madison.


 The drouth of this season is prematurely ripening everything and in most instances cutting short the quantity. The army worms and rosebugs have been strong allies with the drouth in this direction. Still, notwith- standing all these combined detrimental forces, there is 8 very satisfactory remnant left with which our wants may be supplied. Famine does not stare us in the face; neither is there probability that there will be any deprivation of the necessities or many of the luxuries of life which are usually produced here.
 A fishing sloop owned by MT. Reuben Fow- Ter, of Guilford, was sunk on Monday, June 21st, off this place. It was so overloaded with whitefsh, which had been taken from two of our Madison pounds, that it was una b1e to bear it's burden. There were only eight thousand of it's cargo of fish saved.
 Many of our citizens attended the closing exercises of the Morgan School at Clinton on Thursday last, and all reports are very flat Sering for the efficiency and drill of the in stitution. The Madison representatives there very creditably acquitted themselves. The valedictory delivered by one of their number was exceedingly praiseworthy.

Result of catchfne Froes.

Result of Catching Frogs.
 A Mir. Reynolds, who lives in the vicinity of Dixwel avenue, launched raft on the pond bounded by Goffe, Charles, Orchard and Beers street yesterday afternoon for the purpose of catching the frogs that abound on the borders of this miniature lake, and which by their nightly concerts wake the sleepers in that vicinity. Two beer barrels were used for "foat,'' and across these was placed ladder and plank securely nailed to the floats. Mir. Reynolds bestrided the plank, and by the aid of friends was launched into the uncertain depths of the pond. He had proceeded but short distance, when the craft on which he foated capsized, and MT. Reynolds, with all his paraphernalia for frog catching, was struggling in the water. Fortunately, friends on shore extended help ing hands, and by the aid of ropes and other life-saving apparatus the Hone fisherman" was brought safe to land. Mir. Reynolds de- clares that the frogs may continue to croak, and big prices may be offered for their pedal extremities, but he will not venture on any more expeditions of that kind
