The Sea of GaIiIee.

Riding by the foot of Hattin. over the
place where, 700 years ago, Saladin an.
initiated the crusaders power in Pales.
tine, we at length reached ridge where
we looked cut on the distant hills of Ba.
shan, down far below us upon dark
blue pear or harp-shaped sheet of water
lying snugly in deep inclosure of high
brown hills. Though less than thirteen
miles long and seven miles broad. yet,

| it is q kind of Pacific Ocean. 1t was the
sea of Galilee.
AS we moved over the long way down
ward to its level-650 feet below the
Mediterranean Sea-ws had time to
grasp and fix its whole aspect and sur
roundings. 1t lacks boldness of outline,
for its hills slope gradually back from
the shore, or leave a narrow plain, as at
Glennesaret and Buthia. But the lights
and shadows lie sweetly on the hillsid. 8
at night and morning. the northern end
is broken into pleasant little bays, and
Hermon looks grandly up beyond far off.
yet seemingly near. The whole aspect
of the lake is one that suggests the tho't
and the lack of beautiful homes. 1t was
still long ride to the lake. The region
we were passing, once brimful of life
and activity, was utterly forsaken now.
The entire lake lay spread before us,
and nearly the whole of its coast line,
along or near which once lay The cities
of Tarichea, Tibereas, Hippo, Gamala,
Gergesa, Bethsaida, ChoraZin, Caperna-
um, Magdala and Beth Arbel. OF these
cities, Tiberias once had its Senate of
n. ~ 10 hi - ,o&, l.f
Vespasian at the head of three legions,
and when captured by Vespasian and
Titus it lost 400 in the fight, and 5000
who hurled themselves or were pushed
down the precipices; while Tarichea, ac-
cording to Josepus, was able at one time
to furnish 1880 forslaughter in fight
with the Romans, 200 slain in cold blood
in the stadium. 5000 captive youth to
dig for Nero in7the isthmus, and 10000
to be sold into slavery. The only exist
ing visible representative OF all this
strength and activity were the little clus-
ter of huts called Mejdel lMagadala) and
the shrunken Tiberias, with its 1000 in
habitants. From our path not vestige
of the other places could be discerned.
1t was near sunset when we entered I'll
berias. We followed the road through
the gate, hut could easily have passed
through the rents in the walls. The now
squalid city, mentioned but once in the
New Testament, has been the clief home
of Jewish learning since the destruction
of Jerusalem. Here the Jerusalem Tai

what may be called the present theolog-
zeal school Of the Jews Professor

" The DestrOYer.1 -

A dispatch from New York of recent
date says: A trial was had yesterday
in the presence of Gen. Grant, Secreta-
ry Hunt, Chief Engineers Loring and
Henderson Of the United States navy,
and a dozen other distinguished officers
and public men, of EriccsOn's new tor
pedo boat, "The Destroyer" The nov
ell feature Of this boat is a submerged
gun which discharges a torpedo with
unerring certainty through the water
400 feet in 3 seconds, with u pounds of
powder. Yesterdays experiment was
pronounced q success by all who wit
messed it. 1t was the sd time the gun
has fired the projectile, and at no trial
since the boat has been put in working
order has it failed with the same charge
to throw dummy torpedo 400 feet in
3 seconds or less. The French officers
were especially interested in the exper-
iment, and though they at first pro-
nounced it an impossibility to operate
gun constructed on such principles
and with submerged muzzle success
fully, they were obliged to acknowledge
that the theory had proved correct.
Astonishment was depicted in every
line Vi Gu0 COuuteuauCto MueH tuey saw
the projectile rise to the surface beyond
the target, after having traversed the
distance from the muzzle of the gun
and through the netting without max
ing even the faintest ripple on the sur
face Said naval officer at the con-
clusion of the experiment; "Give New
York harbor a dozen such vessels,
which could be built at the cost of one
Infexible or Duilio, and we could sue
cessfully defy the combined navies Of
the world. 1t seems to me the key to
complete revolution in naval con-
struction methods. A fleet of cruisers
with couple of these destroyerS on
board, ready to launch at a moments
notice, could bid defiance to the most
powerfully iron protected fleets"

THE divorced wife of Guiteau, on her
way from Leadville to Washington as
witness for the government, says the
reports of the trial remind her m ost
forcibly of the deyilish quality of his
mental composition. This lady, whose
first venture in the matrimonial mill
was worse than coming in contact with
a buzz saw, is now happily married,
and it would be according to the eter-
nal fitness of things if her husband
were to appear in the assassin act, as
Guiteau has most scandalously used his
wife's name since the trial began.

THE hypothetical question of the de,
Tense in the Guiteau case is as long and
about as lucid as the speech Of a
sand-lot statesman. In it the mental
integrity of the whole family for three
generations is assailed in the interest
of the egotistical wretch whose miser-
able life it is to be used to prolong. I'm
less the prosecution shall admit the
truth of the hypothesis, the defense
will be required to prove all this stuff
and nonsense before they can submit
their abominable question to the ex-
perts. The prosecution will hardly ad-
nit the verify of the twaddle.

AN attempt was made to kill Gui-
teau at about half-past four o'clock
last Saturday afternoon, when the
prisoner was being conveyed in the
close prison van from the court house
to the jail. The assaiIant was on horse
back. He fred two shots, one of which
barely grazed Guiteau's arm, and then
rode rapidly away. A man named
Jones is under arrest as the would-be
killer, but there appears to be serious
doubt Of his being the man who fired
the shots, but he has been held to
answer. The effect of the attack on
Guiteau was to frighten him almost to
death.

SEVERAL correspondents wish to
know why Guiteau is tolerated in court;
why he is not kept in Jail while his trial
proceeds, and the court saved the an
noyance of his presence. When Law
renee was on trial for the attempted
murder Of President Andrew Jackson.
he behaved very much in the same
way as Guiteau does, speaking at all
times and disturbing the court. The
judges, Justice Cranch and two others,
took under conside Grafton their right to
put Lawrence out of court, but, after Il
full discussion of the matter, decided
that the trial could not continue unless
the defendant were present.

The Effects of Climate

A climate not necessarily unhealthy often
proves so to those unaccustomed to it. The ac-
climating process seems unusually slow in some
constitutions. There is, however, a medicinal
means of acclimating it of which residents and
sojouners in unaccustomed or malarious climates
have not been slow to avail Themselves Hostel
ters Stomach Bitters is a medicinal safeguard and
acclimating tonic of standard reputation, which
travellers emigrants tourists mariners, and others
whose tastes and pursuits entail exposure, sub
lection TO changes of temperature, unusual or un-
wholesome diet or water, and the fatigue atten-
dant upon long journeys by land or sea, concur in
pronouncing it reliable, agreeable and SAFE As
remedy for disorders of the liver, stomach and
bowels, very prevalent in malarious regions and
the tropics as preventive of fever and ague,
rheumatism and kidney troubles, and as restor-
ative of vigor it is also held in the highest est-
nation.
