AMONG the ffty-one county delegations

Why should not the GRANTEES be required IN

third-ter1n Republican voters in those cnunfea

If there is to be compromise and the rule Of pro~

Ed0latry Among the Jews.

Idolatry was considered the most
heinous offense of which q Jew could
be guilty. Among people protesting
a monotheistic faith, hedged in by ma
tons given to every form of paganism,
prone to denominations of every kind, it
was thought necessary that any public
| dissertation of religion should be Sc
verely punished. Hence, in such cases
ignorance could not be pleaded in ex-
tenuation of the crime; nor was any
preliminary warning requisite in order
that judgment of death might be legally
pronounced. In ordinary affairs, as in
the more serious matters capitally pun
ishable, the Hebrew code did not permit
of any sort Of detective system. A man
was not permitted to secrete himself in
order to watch his neighbor. 4 witness
who had acted in such manner would
not have been permitted to give evil
dence. When, however, q Jew was
believed to have publicly DEVOTED him
self to idolatry, and to have endeavored
to seduce his neighbors to the same
practices, any ruse was permitted for
the purpose Of demonstrating his guilt.
IF, for example, he declared to one per-
son only that in such and such grove
an image was erected, and attempted to
persuade him to join in worship there,
the latter was permitted to hide friend
wherever convenient, and, calling the
idolater, might say to him, Now,
tell me more about that image you
worship. If the backslider repeated his
solicitations, the testimony of the two
witnesses was procured, which was
necessary for condemnation. But pre-
vious to laying the matter before San
hedrim it was imperative upon both
witnesses to reason with the idolator.
They were, according to the Talmud, to
speak kindly with him. They should
address him and say, How! Would
you have Us forsake our God who is In
heaven to follow deities who are made
of wood and stone?" IL the erring
brother gave ear to their exhortation
and quilted his pagan practices, the
witnesses who knew of his backsliding
were not permitted to mention the fact
to any neighbors or friends. He who
repents must never be reminded OF his
former iniquities." But, if obstinately
bent on worshiping the image he had
found and set up for himself, the depo-
sitions as to the circumstances were laid
before the tribunal. These facts were,
however, only sufficient to found the
accusation upon. To convict, it was |
necessary to prove that the offender was |!

will send his name down to posterity high
up in the ranks Of the worlds great inventors.
1t is only little lamp, about the size of an
orange, and strip of paper of the shape Of a
horseshoe, but q lamp almost as magical as
full. This little lamp, which can be made at a
cost of IS cents, is g. plain glass globe, in the
bottom Of which there is metallic stopper,
through which pass copper wires connected
by a strip Of carbonized paper. The secret
Of the process is sending current of cleo
tricity through the strip of paper, the carbon
becoming luminous at once in the globe,
which is Theoretically sealed The only con-
dition of success is the exclusion of the air.
The carbon flaments are not consumed. On
the other hand though they glow with a very
brilliant light, they grow harder, and more
serviceable, and give better light, with use.
Mr.. Edison's previous experiments had been
made with platinum, but d fortunate accident
in one Of his processes revealed to him that
paper, which costs com arativey nothing,
would answer all the purposes of the precious
metal
