WINSTON, N. c., Dec. 16.-Intelligence
reaches here that the people of Stokes
county, in this state, are very much ex-
cited over the discovery of the actual sale
by one man of his wife to another. Alfred
Jenkins, the owner of farm in that Sec
ton, few days ago sold his wife to Noah
M. Glidewill, neighboring farmer, for
$500. He then sold his little farm and
moved away, leaving Glidewill in quiet
possession Of the newly purchased wife.

another was done rs thohga the men had

move away and was not able
to take his wife. Glidewill said
he was himself tired of living
without wife. and was willing to buy her
if jenkins would be willing to sell her.
The latter Lamed $500, and after further
conversation the transfer was agreed upon
Mrs. Jenkins was consulted and cheerfully
agreed to the sale. She at once took up
her effects and went to Glidewill's house

KANSAS WHEAT.

The Winter Crop Said to he in Fine Condi-
tion-The Prospect of an Enormous
Yield.
TOPEKA. Kas., Dec. 16.-Reports have
been published that the Geld weather had
unfavorably affected the winter wheat crop
of this state, Inquiry at the Office of the
state board of agriculture fails to elicit
any information, while the land depart
ment of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
is in receipt of telegram on the subject
from upward of twenty points in south,
central and southwestern Kansas, only one
of which reports any damage. Such of tho
counties as return an acreage materially
affecting the general average are
said to have wheat fields
that never looked better at this time of the
year. The winter has been open and there
has been no frost to speak of. The replies
to Col. Johnson's questions also show that
in the more easterly counties early sown
wheat is in the best condition, owing to
the favorable state of the ground at the
time of seeding. Further west the late
plant is the more thrifty, the earlier seed
having been scattered or in some cases
picked up by birds, but everywhere the
prospects are bright and as former reports
have indicated that the average is as large
as last year, it is safe to predict, other cir
cumstances being favorable, another great
wheat crop next year.

expected better things of the young man,
and they at once set to work to create
trouble between the husband and wife, so
as to bring about separation. In this
they were successful. AS last resort
they induced the young man to go to Chi

his financial condition. The wife remained
at her home in Allegheny, receiving fire.

legal measures. She has considerable

| TEE AUTHENTICITY OF THE LATIN vULGATK.
The church, Mr.. Thomas tells Us, has again
made mistake in declaring authentic
the Latin vulgate. The Trentine decree is
here in broad defiance of Christian scholar

of the thesis: The proofs will never be given
I have no doubt that the decree is opposed
to the scholarship of some Christians, bat
I deny very emphatically that it is opposed
to Christian scholarship properly under
stood.
The Trentine DEGREES read: "If any one
receive not, as sacred and canonical, the
said books entire with all their parts, az
they have been used to be read in the Gath
Ollie church, and as they are contained il

| The Jews of Alexandria had always
placed the Deutero-canonical books among
the sacred volumes of the Septuagint.
This fact is strong evidence in their favor.
A large portion of ORTHODOX Jews admit
ted their inspiration, and moreover their
action proves to us that if the Ethers, those
of Judea, did not admit them, they did not
positively reject them. The Alexandrian
Jews sought always to live in religious
harmony with their brethren of Jerusalem
and would not have contradicted them in g
matter so important as the canon of scrip
ture. The explanation given BY
Mr.. Thomas why the Alexan
drian Jew admitted the books into ths
canon is ingenious, TO say the least. ''Ths
Palestinian Jew believed that inspiration
ceased 4 while the Alexandria
Jew believed that inspiration was not {
special Illumination belonging to q specia
periods" The Alexandrian Jew in this
belief was right, although he doubtless hae
other reasons than this general belief fol
admitting the books into the canon
But when Mr.. Thomas thinks tina

can be. He says: "The connection be

TEE SCHOLARSHIP OF THE vULGATE.
Our chief argument in defense OF the
vulgase is the teaching of Gods church
concerning its authenticity. From the ex-
elusive standpoint of scholarship its defense
is an easy task. It stands before the schol-
arship of the world to-day the unrivaled
be SO its very history suggests. It is as
it came from the hands of jerome and his
contemporaries older than the old
est . manuscript that has sur
vived the wreck of time. It was
based upon Latin version made in the
carly days of the Christian church. The
| best Hebrew and Greek manuscripts were
| at Jerome's disposal; he had at his scr
vice the valuable collections Of Origen, all
of which have since persisted. His work
was controlled by the whole Christian
world, most jealous of the purity of the
scriptural text, and has been guarded for
1900 yearsby the church with the most
tender and watchful care. As
versions from Syria, Egypt, Chaldea, made
even earlier than itself or cotemporaneous
to it, are brought to view and studied, the
fidelity of the vulgate becomes transparent
It has been tested by manuscripts, by writ
ings of early fathers, by iturgical collec
lions, and its defenders have never been
obliged to retreat. Eminent Protestant schol
ars have been loud in its praises. The lsts
revision has in numerous instances corrol,
Grated its readings. Where the revision
in leaving out some passages differs from
it, carried of Dy the mania which hal
broken out within the last half century Of
abandoning all other sources of informa
ton except few uncial manuscripts
the vulgate can easily be proved
correct, and for one instance wher,
} the revi5ers abandoned the vulgat,
there axe scores of instances where the,
