us is the ultimate effect this war is to
have upon the Presbyterian schools in
Cairo, Sinoris, and Osiout; upon the
Theological Seminary for the training of
native young men for the ministry upon
the future of DR.. Lansing and his noble
band of coadjators; upon the generous
annual contributions of His Highness,
Maharajah Dhuleep Singh for the sup
port OF missions in Egypt upon the
buildings in the Ezbekeeyeh Square, in
the heart of Cairo, erected on the ground
presented to the Mission Station by the
late Khedive, Ismael Pasha; and whether
these disturbances in Egypt will so ex-
asperate the Mohammedans of Syria
and Turkey as to break up the American
College at Beirut and the Roberts Col
lege at Constantinople, at both of which
some of the sons of Moslem magnates were
studying English science, and litera-
ture, and above ALL. the English Bible.
Of course the immediate effect of the
war upon all Missionary Institutions and
enterprises must be disastrous in the
extreme; let us hope, however, that these
oriental troubles will but hasten the COM
ing of the day when the beautiful throat
OF the BosRborus will no longer be
grasped by the leprous hand of the Turk,
and when the Greek inscription on
stone in the wall of a Mohammedan
Mosque (once Christian church) in
Damascus, "Thy kingdom, o Christ, is an
everlasting kingdom, and Thy dominion
endureth throughout all generations,
will be prophetic of the near advent of
the day when the Ottoman Empire will
form part of the dominion over which
He will rule whose right it is to reign.

ROBERT DINwIDDIE, GOVERNOR OF
VIRGINIA, 1852 58.-We take pleasure
in inserting the following card from Mr..
Brock, wishing to aid him and the So
clety which he represents in their praise
worthy efforts to rescue from oblivion
much that is interesting in the early his
tory of Virginia.
l am engaged in preparing for publication by
the Virginia Historical Society the important
historical manuscript recently presented to the
Society by its vice president W. w. Corcoran,
Esq, and known to the public as the Din.
wlddie Papers" Much additional original ma.
terlal bearing on the period is in the cabinet of
the Society. The proposed publication will
make a handsome volume of probably 500
pages, and will be uniform in size and execution
with the choice volume of the Spotswood Let
tiers already issued. 1t is desired to accompany
1t IN like manner with biographical sketch of
Governor Dlnwlddie and with his engraved
portrait, arms. &c. Unfortunately l have no
knowledge that portrait of him exists. There
are representatives of the name Dinwiddie in
Virginia and other States of the Union. who are
believed to be of the lineage of Governor Din
wlddle. 1t is desired that such descent should
be stated IN the proposed memoir Any infor
nation as lntimated, any traditional reminis.
cences OF the residence of Governor Dinwiddie
IN Virginia, any references to published works
In which he is mentioned, however slightly, or
any address to which application may be made
regarding his portrait, will be most thankfully
received.
The loan also of any letters written by him.
or manuscripts in which he is mentioned, if such
there be in the possession of the readers of the
DtsPdtch, Is solicited. R. A BROCK,

THERE is an argument for the divine
origin of the New Testament, which to
us seems conclusive and irresistible, vet
which we have never seen fully devel-
oped.
We have just as good evidence that
the various books of the New Testament
were written by the men whose names
they bear, as we have that Vergil or
Caesar, Demosthenes or Cicero, wrote
the books attributed to them. On. this
point there can be no dispute.
Now of the eight writers of the New
Testament, only two of them-Paul, and
perhaps Luke were men of any literary
culture. The rest were undoubtedly,
Ignorant and unlearned men," The
question then is: How could such men
have conceived or invented or expressed
IN such language, such a system of morals
and religion, and such a scheme of re-
demption as are contained in the New
Testament? The point we make is that
nothing but the theory that they were
divinely inspired can solve the question.
We might just as reasonably expect a
dissertation on Political Economy or Psy-
chology, from a Logger of Maine, or a
Cow Boy of Texas, as suppose that Mat
thew or Mark, Peter, James or John,
could have written, without supernat-
ural aid, the books which bear their
names. Besides, they wrote without con-
cert with one another One hardly ever
knew when or what the other was writ
ing. How then account for the wonder
full harmony in statement of moral pre-
cepts and religious doctrines which per-
vades the whole New Testament The
only answer is, the writers must hare
been inspired. They wrote as they were
moved by the Holy Ghost
We have only sketched the outline of
the argument. 1t is susceptible OF most
striking and powerful elaboration which
would stagger the sharpest intellect in
fidelity has ever produced Admit that
the books were written by the men whose
names they bear, and the conclusion is
irresistible that the writers were divinely
inspired. No better service could be
done for the cause Of Truth, than for
some competent hand to develop this
argument in all its branches, and throw
it into popular form for general circula-
ton.

IT HAS long been known that bees
sometimes become robbers, and in strong
bands depredate upon their neighbors,
by plundering their honey boxes and car
rying off the contents. Now the natu-
ralist, Buckner, comes forward with the
statement that by feeding bees with hon.
ey mixed with brandy, they will become
excited, drunk, and cease to work. When
hunger comes upon them, they will not
scruple to give themselves up to robbery
pillage, and violence
If the statement be true is it not an
other evidence Of the demoralising inAu.

IT is not fancy, but fact, that there
are quarter Christians, one-half Chris
tians, three-quarters Christians, and
Christians. 1t is of great import that
the half Christian is not Christian
nor the three-quarters Christian-nor
the 99-10Oths Christian. 1t takes 100
1OOths to make this connection.
The fractional Christians are a great
multitude that cannot be numbered

this world. Almost saved-but not saved.

point, and living under self-deception.

SINCE the Archbishop of Canterbury
has looked with some favor on the Saliva
ton Army, and made donation for the
purchase Of buildings for it, proposition
has been made to incline the whole Ar
my in favor Of the Church" Can the
Church of England tolerate the extrava-
gancies of the Salvation Army? or can
the Army endure the restraints of eccle-
siastical authority? Lord SALISBURY,
the liberal patron Of religious movements
in England, thinks that the utterances of
the Army are little short of blasphemy.
Many Churchmen see the mistake that
was made in the last century by virtual
ly expelling the Wesleys and their fol-
lowers from the Church, and SO perhaps
are now in danger Of going to the oppo-
site extreme of tolerance.

WHAT is the matter? Read this from the
Central Presbyterian when we were young
we had high opinion Of the honor that pre-
vailed among men. Advancing years impress
us with the declaration that the heart is des.
perately wicked" And this, 1T is very
hard thing to tell the truth" We are sorry
you have to work so hard during the warm
weather.-The Christian at Work.
And we are sorry that some others do
not work hard to attain the same end.
That is what is the matter. Tell the
truth no matter how hard it is, or how
warm the weather may be.

The District Association.

The District Association is a delight of a
Baptist. Held, as it usually is, in the country
at pleasant season of the year, attended bv
swarming multitudes, and rich in social and re-
ligious pleasures, he halls its approach with
beating heart. 1t comes to him as happy
break In the monotony of life. 1t is feast of
tat things In more senses than one 1t combines
IN itself the sensational joys of picnic, the fas
clnatlons OF social festival and the holy ex-
hilarations of revival. 1t is no easy task to
picture the District Association in all its varied
phases and far-reaching influences.
We suggest that more stringent regulations
be enJolned for discouraging the levity and dis
slpatlon incident to the District Association
This must be done largely by the church with
which the body meets but the Association can
usually control such matters The ugly custom
of permitting photographers, confectioners, and
watermelon vendors to open their booths under
the very caves of the church and ply their
trades, ought to be frowned out of existence.
They are the centres of noise, merriment. and
confusion; they attract the vicious and unman.
nered people; they turn the church yard into
scene of frolic and designations and they keen
the young people in a fever of excitement and
prevent their attendance on preaching. The
District Association is religious meeting, and
must not be converted into Vanity Fair"

An Italian Girl's Romance

A Paris Journalist has discovered real
"Cinderella' in the person Of the wife OF an
English millionaire whose name he With
holds from delicacy or other causes. About
Is years ago, the painter Herbert was eXecu-
ting his fine portrait Of the Duchess OF Noa-
lilies. He was working at the same time
upon all exquisite genre picture, III whose
progress the Duchess took great interest.
1t represented young italian girl OF extra
ordinary lOveliness. One day the Duchess
said to the artist 1T is impossible that such
a face should be mere painters ideal. The
original must some times come to your
studio. l should like to see her. The lady
was so charmed with the girl that she said
to the painter: IF the rich give so much
money to hang up copy on their walls,
what an ornament the original would be for
any salon. The thought which she had
thus struck out seemed to have fascinated
her, and when the picture Of the beautiful
Italian girl had found its way into Baron
Rothschild's collection at Ferriers, the
Duchess took the girl herself, adopted her,
and gave her the very best education. Her
parents were respectable, but poor, and glad
ly yielded up their daughter to the splendid
future which the amiable Duchess engaged
to provide for her. Herbert's picture per-
ished in the flames during the fire at the
Chateau of Ferrieres, in 1872, but the Origi-
nal had developed into a woman Of wonder
full beauty. Her guardian kept q jealous eye
upon her numerous admirers, determining
that if Cinderella did not become q Princess
she should marry into a family Of high social
distinction. Meanwhile an Engishman of
very great wealth, who was visiting in the
house of Noailles, not only fell deeply in
love with the beautiful ward, but gained her
heart Although he was not noble
he was millionaire. The Duchess consented
at last to favor his suit. and the English sui
tor carried off the Italian Cinderella as his
Helena weekly herald. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1867-1900, 1882-07-27
THE NOTE OF HAND.

Hans and Fritz were two Dentschers who lived
side by side,
Remote from the world, its deceit, its PRIDE
With their pretZels and beer the spare moments
were spent
And the fruits of their labors were peace and con-
tent.
Hans purchased horse of n neighbor one day,
And, lacking part of the geld-as they say
Made a call upon Fritz to solicit q loan
TO help him pay for his beautiful roam
Fritz kindly consented the money to lend.
And gave the required amount to his friend;
Remarking-his own simple language to cote
"Rerhaps it vas better make us a note aas4
The note was drawn up in their primitive way
a. Hans gets from Fritz feefty dollars to-day
When the question arose, the note being made,
"Nich Won holds dot baper until it Vas paid?
You geeps dot" says Fritz, ''und den you will
know
You ows me dot money Says Hans, dot ish SO
Dot makes me remember hat dot to bay,
IND prings you der note und der money some
day"
4 month had expired when HanZ agreed,
Paid back the amount and from debt he was freed.
Says Fritz, Now dot settles u.s." Hans replles.
"Yaw;
Now who takes dot baper according by law"
Il geeps dot, now, ansd't it ." says Fritz; den you
always remembers you bald dot to me-.
Says Hans: DOT ish So it vas now shust so blaln
Dot knows vot to do ven porrows again"
