TIE ANTIQ UzTY OF THE
Saba tn.

A great deal of dust has been raised
around the question of the permanent
character of the injunction embodied in
the fourth commandment. We find even
Christian ministers in our day denying
that the Jewish Sabbath was more than
a ceremonial institution, and taking the
ground that the obligation to observe
one day in seven is not grounded upon
any fundamental principle of morality
that the Sabbath is abrogated- the
Lords Day substituted in its place,
which, they allege, is a mere Christian
festival or holiday
Unfortunately for this argument there
are two distinct proofs that the sacred
observance of the Seventh Day did not
originate with the Israelites The first
of these is that we find in the account of
the creation of the world in the second
chapter of Genesis, the declaration: "And
on the seventh day God ended his work
which he had made and God blessed
the seventh day and sanctifed it, because
that in it he had rested from all his work
which God created and made" And re-
ferring to this, we have again in Hebrews:
There remaineth therefore Sabbath to
the people Of God" Now the fact that
the Sabbath was instituted at the crea-
ton of man-that it was observed before
the hood-shows that the Jewish Sabbath
was not the original of this institution,
but was reared upon an already acknowl-
edged obligation and the observance of
one day in seven would have been bind
ing on Christians if the Hebrews had
never existed.
This is one and full evidence Of the
perpetuity Of the Sabbath. There is an
other. The Sabbath was observed by
the Assyrians and Babylonians from the
most remote times. 1t can be traced
back among the Babylonians several
hundred years before Moses lived. Pro
lessor Sayce, than whom there is no high
er authority in Assyriology, in an article
on THE Holiness Of the Number Sever"
in the Records of tie Past says, " Innu-
merable are the evidences Of this opinion
which are found in the tablets"
Writing in THE Acaden1y 1--WE quote
from an article in the CathoJjc Pyesby-
ter5an), he says: 1t is now some time
since NJ. Oppert, and then more fully DR..
Schrader Gin the ,Studien md K55tiken,

this paper, and with this object, we now offer
ONE DOLLAR in money for every new sub

and the LIST day of March. We hereby re-
quest every man, woman, and child who reads

The person procuring the new subscriber may,
if he prefers give the benefit of this premium
to the subscriber, or any one may subscribe in
this way without the Intervention of the agent

Mr.. JAMES PAYN in the Nineteenth
Century, speaking of Penny Fiction"
asks: But who are the readers of this
penny fction?" He answers the question
as follows:
believe, though the vendors of the commod-
ity In question profess to be unable to give any
information on the matter, that the majority
are female domestic servants. AS TO what
attracts them in their favorte literature, that is
a much more knotty question. My own theory
is that, just as Mr.. Upper achieved his i'm
mense popularity by never going over the heads
after all, not such difficult thing to be under
stood, so, think, the writers of penny fiction,
In clothing very conventional thoughts in rather
high faluting English, have found the secret of
success. Each reader says to himself, (or her
SELF That is my thought, which 1 would
have myself expressed in those Identical words,

THERE WAS a mistake of 1900 Y

THERE WAS mistake of 1900 years in
a date in the Central Presbyterian last
week. Owing to an oversight of the
printer, we were made to say that the
use Of stone implements continued in Asia
Minor down to 900 A. D. 1t ought to
have been down to 900 B. @.
We wish our readers to take in this
fact. In Troy, on the Hellespont, not in
the rural districts, but in city, the pop
ulation made use Of stone axes and stone
hammers and flint knives and saws down
to 900 B. g., and probably later. If this
be true, how long did stone implements
continue to be used in Denmark and
Britain and the Swiss Alps? At least a
thousand years later. Then what be-
comes of all this talk about the antiquity
Of the cromlechs and cairns, the pile-vil-
lagos, and the shell-heaps of Western and
Northern Europe2

THERE are spoken in India $50 diff
ferent languages or dialects. The Hin
dus of the north of India have as the
substrata of their present languages three
dead languages Sanskrit, the Pra-
crit, and the Pail. Of these the Oldest is
the Sanskrit Now the date of the Rig
Veda (written in Sanskrit) is about 100
or 1900 years B. G. Therefore, in India
all these languages connected with the
Aryan population, have sprung up in
5000 years. And yet great deal of
emphasis is laid by the advocates of the
great antiquity OF our race on the i'm
mense time which they say is necessary
to account for the differentiation of Ian
guages. This is one of the points special
ly urged in Professor Winchells Pre-
odanaites.

DEATH OF Rev. HOMER HENpE1
This is called religion.

DEATH OF Rev. HOMER HENDEE.-
Rev. Homer Hendee died in this city
(St. Louis) Monday, February 7th), in his
sixty-third year. This Christian minister,
of most lovely character, has been utterly
disabled for number of years. Sudden
ly deprived almost entirely of the power
to articulate, he failed gradually but
very perceptibly. Without murmur,
rather with cheerful acquiescence in the
will of his Father, he bore the burden
allotted to him. He has now laid it down
and is at rest His memory will be
cherished by all who have ever known
him.-&. Louis Presbyterian.

THERE is a character known in the

There is Feast of st. Blasius, and
there is a custom in the Roman Catholic
Church of blessing throats'' on the Feast
of st. Blasius. The day is celebrated on
the Sd of February, and the throat bless
ing is believed to be preventative of
diphtheria and similar diseases. "Thou-
sands of the faithful, says an exchange,
"availed themselves of the opportunity

Murder at Mears.

tfp the Editor OF the RECORD.
If On last Wednesday night y foul
murder was committed at the little
town of Mears, Colorado, on the d.
& x. G. road some six miles above
Poncho Springs, on the person of
Edward McClarkey, who it is said
! has two brothers living at, or near
Gunnison CITY, and whose parents
live somewhere near Leavenworth,
Kansas.
McClarkay was serving as teamster
| for the Hudson Constructing COM
pany, of the d. & r. g. Railway Co.,
and had the reputation of being a
steady quiet hard working man.
At the coroucr's inquest very little
testimony was ELECTED, as to the
probable cause of death, owing to the
| fact. that no examination of the body
was made until after the witnesses
had been discharged, when ii was
discovered ON stripping the body
that McClarkey had been fatally shot
through. or in the region of the heart,
the bullet being found after passing
through the body, in his undershirt.
| Suspicion very naturally fell on a
| few notorious characters who have
infested the place for several months,
| two miserable women by the name
c. A. Powers and Lizzie Wendall,
alias Spurgeou and two villianous
men by the name of Charles Conn
and Charley Stone. On the arrival
of the eastern train all four of those
suspected characters, hastily boarded
the train, aud got off before il was
known in time to capture them, but
an extra train was soon put In mo-
ton, and the parties were overhaul
cd at Salita, and this morning were
taken to the Buena Vista Jail. Conn
and Stone were desperate characters
and the community at Mears are re-
| joiced at their departure.
| To-day in tho bagnio occupied by
\ these women, at Nears, there was y
spontaneous combustion, and despite
the efforts of the citizens, the entire
building with its contents were con-
suined by fire.
Tho body of McClarkey was buried
to-day above the little town of
| Mears. About one hundred turned
out and followed the renaines to it's
last resting place.

On the 10Th day of last June some
prospectors sfaked off an extension
of the Golden Chain lode at Titus
Vile in the southwestern part of this
county. On the 18th day CT August
two men, named Jaggers and Mar
tin, relocated the claim under the sup
position that the sixty days limit had
expired. On August 9th a pros
pector named Greater, knowing the
limit of the law had been passed, set
mp his stake on the claim. The fol-
lowing morning Jaggers and Martin
discovered the last stake and pulling
it up went into the camp where they
found Greater and loudly informed
him that his stake could not remain
there without a fight. Greater said
that it should and procuring his gun
went to the claim and renewed his
stake A few days afterwards he
found it had been defaced by q
bullet hole through his name. Upon
this he had them arrested and they
week and bound over in the sum OF
800 each, to appear before the grand
jury at the next term of court.
