A Bad Man in Custody.

RICHMOND, VA, August 1S.-The
chief of police of Richmond received
a telegram from Lynn, Mass, this
morning informing him of the arrest
in that city of Thomas Marvin, who
last month, by false representations,
betrayed Miss Lucy Turpen, a
highly connected young lady of this
city into marriage and then deserted
her at Albion, n. Y, and who also
obtained about $500 from the First
National Bank of Richmond by means
Of false draft on Chicago bank.
He is reported in custody at Lynn
awaiting requisition from the gov
ernor of Virginia, which will be for
warded this afternoon. The feeling
here against Marvin at the time his
base operations were made public
was intense, many persons express
ing the opinion that he should be
summarily dealt with, some even 60
ing so far as to express a willingness
to join in an attempt to take the
law into their own hands and put an
end to his career.

The DOx0IOgy.

One of the most important changes
made by the revised New Testament is
the omission of what is called the doxol-
ogy from the Lords prayer in Matthew'S
Gospel" for Thine is the kingdom
and the power and the glory,
forever. Amen" These words are
an Interpolation found ON the
margin of the text in some Of the early
manuscripts, and not found at all in the
Oldest ones Its origin can be traced
back to remote Aryan sources, and it
can be found almost literally in one Of
the hymns Of Zend Avesta, to which
some of the students of Iranic literature
give an antiquity as great as 1900 years
before Christ, and which is indisputably
older than the time of Cyrus and the
cuneiform inscriptions (about 559 B.C.).
In this hymn, addressed to Ahura-May-
da, the Creator and Good Principle, oc-
ours the following passage: To Him
belongs the kingdom, the might and
the power" Evidently this doxolo-
gy or ascription is one of the earliest e1-
prssions of worship adopted by the
Aryan mind. Its omission from the
Lords Prayer will not be generally well
coined, for it unquestionablv forms an
impressive and beautiful climax but as
there is now no reason for supposing it
was in the original Gospel the Christian
world must give it up. Biblical schol-
ars are all agreed that no claim for in
spiration can be made for t.-Nean York
