The Chicago and Alton train, which

brought the lifeless body Of Mr..
Thomas Buckley, a Pullman sleeping
car conductor. Mr.. Buckley died
very suddenly between Odessa and

ably from heart disease. Mr.. j. C..
Greenman, the conductor of the train,
states that the deceased appeared in
perfect health all day, and made ne
complaint whatever of illness. He
was Frustrated just this side OF Odes-
"a. and died before the train reached
Bates City, within fifteen minutes af.
ter being attacked. Mr.. Buckeyes
run was between Bloomington, ILL.,,
and Kansas City, and he had been in
the employ Of the Pullman company
but . few days, this trip being his
second. Undertaken Weldsn was
notified a. soon as the train arrived
at the depot, and the remains were
taken in charge. Mr.. Buckley's for.
mer home was Chicago, and hi.
friends were informed by telegraph
of the sad occurrence. The deceased
wa about thirty-ive years of age,
and Of good habits. He was very
popular with the officers of his train
although their acquaintance had been
Of but short duration. It is no,
known whether Mr.. Buckley was q
married man.

We see from the Louisiana papers
that one day last week a leading
belle of GAINESVILLE challenged a beau
of Louisiana to a drinking bout.
Everything went lovely till about
10 a. NJ, when the girl got ''too full''
and went under the table. Just then
the "old gent came in and saw how
matters stood, and the beau skipped
out. He was arrested next morning
for drugging the girl with evil inten-
tons. The girl was too ill to appear,
and the beau was held at $1,000 bond.
The lady is of good family, and
rather lively. 1t is thought there
were no evil intentions, but only 6
plain drunk. Another argument in
favor of prohibition.

DR.. CROSBY has been lecturing to large
audiences on Sabbath evening, in New
York, on the Apocalypse. The lectures
are described as able and interesting, and
are supposed to constitute the substance
OF popular commentary he is preparing
on the subject.
DIR. Crosby is in the prime of life, hay
ing been born in 1926. A writer in the
Herald and Pre86yter gives the following
sketch of his career:
He graduated at the University of New York
In 1914, was made Professor of Greek in 1851,
and was appointed to the same chair in Rutgers
College, New Jersey, in 1859. He resigned This
position after some years, and became pastor OF
the Fourth Avenue Presbyterian church. In
1870 still retaining his pastorate, he was elected
Chancellor of the University of New York, and
held the position for eleven years. In 1850 he
published Lands of the Moslem :" in 1851. an
edition with notes of "Gdipus URANUS; I" in
1851, Notes on the New Testament; :" in 1871,
Life of Christ" in 1879, Yale Lectures on
PREACHING" In 1873 he was Moderator of the
General Assembly. He was also one of the
translators of Lange's great Commentary, and
an active member Of the American Committee
on The Revision of the New Testament Transla-
ton.
The correspondent of the Herald and
PreSbyter adds that "this morning the
Presby terian ministers in DR.. Crosby's
lecture-room had an intensely interesting
and spirited conversation on the Eff
cacy Of Prayer"

We clip the following from the znder
appeal, Petersburg, Va.
THE PULPIT AND THE CODE.

THE PULPIT AND THE CODE.
Rev DR.. I. d. Witherspoon on last Sunday
night October 23d) delivered very able dis
course on duelling-a brief synopsis Of which we
present in our local column today. His views
on the subject will be heartily acquiesced in by
all right-thinking men, for his arguments are
SIMPLY unanswerable. We are exceedingly clad
that the pulpit is directing its attention to the
matter, and we hope that every minister of the
gospel In this State will aid Dr. Witherspoon in
making this barbarous and cruel practice odious.
and in redeeming Virginia from the disgrace
and ridlcule which the so-called Code of Honor
has fastened upon her in the eyes of the world.
In vain are laws enacted if they have not the
sanction of public opinion, and the church is the
power which controls public opinion. We re-
peat what we said a few days ago, that many
members of the church unconsciously encourage
duelling by sneering at public men who decline
to accept challenges. They make it test of
mans courage and not proof of his devotion to
right and duty, and it is to avoid this mortify-
ing lmputation that many men go forth to slay
or be slain on the most trivial occasions. Public
opinion must be invoked to suppress this social
monster.
The synopsis of the sermon will be
found on page Sd of this paper.

ney lat OF the monster. During the past sum
mer OF 1880 an almost complete skeleton of a
mastodon was found six miles north west from
Hoopston, Iroquois county Illinois, which goes
far to settle definitely that it was not only a
recent animal. but that it survived until the
life and vegetation of to-day prevailed The
tusks formed each full quarter of a circle,
were feet long, % inches in circumference at
the base, and in their water soaked condition
weighed IT'S pounds. The lower law was we'll
preserved, with full set of magnificent teeth,
ana Is nearly feet long. The teeth, as usual.
We're thickly enameled and weighed each from
to 5pounds. The leg bones, when Joined at
the knee, made total length of 81 feet, indi-
eating that the animal was not less than IL feet
high and from Is to 16 feet from brow to rump
On inspecting the remains closely, a mass of
hbrous, bark-like material was found between
the ribs, filling the place of the animals
stomach. When carefully separated it proved
to be crushed mass of herbs and grasses
similar to those which still grow in the vicin
ity. In the same bed of miry clay a multitude
OF small fresh water and land shells were OBJ
served and collected. These were: l. Pisidi.
UNI, closely resembling p a6ditum Haldeman :.
z. Vaerdta tr1carinata Say; 3, Valvata, resem-
bling y. strata; 4, Planorbis parvus Say.
These molluscs prevail all over the states of
Illinois, Indiana, and parts of Michigan, and
show conclusively that, however other condi.
lions may differ, the animal and vegetable life,
and consequently climate, are the same now as
when this mastodon sank in his grave of mire
and clay"

HE DISCUSSIONS in the Northern pa.
pers about the propriety of praying 70,
Guiteau are simply silly. Christ prayed
tor the rabble that cried, Away with
him !" And there are thousands in this
land who have heard of Christ through
Christian parents, and otherwise, who
cry, Away with him - Are these be-
yond the pale of our sympathies? Have
they sinned too much? Christ came in
vain, if it is the decent and the well-be-
haved only who are to be saved. al am
not come, he cried, "to call the right
eous, but sinners to repentance" and He
is liable to save them unto the uttern,ost
that come unto God by Him." Paul
found mercy, though he stood by con-
senting unto the death of the angelic
Stephen. "Howbeit for this cause OBJ
tanned mercy, that in me Jesus Christ
might shew forth all long suffering, for a
pattern to them which should hereafter
believe on him to life everlasting"
1t is the glory of the gospel that it is
offered to sinners; and if the devil were
on earth, and could trace his descent to
Adam, the offer of mercy would be ex-
tended even to him.
The Confession of Faith has it: Gas
there is no sin SO small but it deserves
damnation; so there is no sin so great,
that it can bring damnation on those who
truly repent"
