We recently had occasion to notice THE Be-
ginnings Of History" by N. Lenormant. who.
being . sincere believer In Christianity. has
naturally treated the subject OF parallel myths
from very different point OF view from that
taken by the author Of the American book.
Yet. SO far a. the two writer's cover the same
ground-M. Lenormant confined his attention
to the Book Of Genesis-they do not differ
materially In the recital OF the facts and prob
abilities arrived ut by the study Of comparative
mythology This substantial conformity In
the statement OF evidence by advocates OF
the most diverse opinions will dispose
the reader to trust the reportorial accu-
racy Of the present compilation In those
chapters which transcend the limited scope Of
the Lenormant essays. Sand deal not only with
Genesis. but with other books OF the Old Testa-
ment and which finally apply the same system
OF Interpretation to the Gospel narrative. 1t 10
especially that part Of this interesting COM
pend which exhibits the parallels found In other
religions to the main incidents In the life Of
Jesus to which We would at this time invite at
tention. reminding the reader that the data are
declared by orthodox theologians to DO suscep-
tibe OF an explanation that does not weaken
the foundation Of Christianity as revealed re-
ligion or impugn the literal trustworthiness Of
the Gospel story.
Inc inference Wnlcn the compiler OF THIS
volume would draw from the facts recorded In
Its pages II that the kernel OF historical truth
relating to the personality Of Jesus the Christ.
contained In tho Gospel narratives. has been
OVERLAND and almost impenetrably obscured BY
the admixture Of symbolical and legendary
elements, and especially Of . form OF that solar
myth which has played so prominent part In
the religions Of many nations. After showing
how directly the stories Of Crishra and OF
Buddha point to an identification Of those per-
sonages with the sun god In the Hindoo mind.
the author endeavors TO demonstrate that each

explicable on the same theory Thus the

Railway rramc.

In the absence Of official information,
reporter OF the HERALD has taken the
pains TO gather some information re-
garding the number of freight and pas
senger cars which pass through this city
on the northern and eastern lines and
the local branches during the seven days
Of an average week. The freight
hauled amounts to about 1880 cars,
most of them loaded, hut including a
few empties, while about $50 passenger
cars are hauled, and are almost invari-
ably well filled with passengers. In the
winter season the passenger traffic is
reduced nearly q hundred cars per week,
on account of the decline Of local travel
to Santa Monica, while the through
travel is increased, with but slight
increase in the number of cars handled.
The through freight coming west is also
heavier at that time, when the total
number of cars Of both kinds would
probably amount to about 2675 in all
directions, for each seven days In the
year 1874 the number Of freight cars
handled during an average week was
about $50, while the number of passen-
ger cars would not have exceeded $50, q
total of 500 cars, in comparison with
2675 for 1883, but nine years having
passed. No wonder that Los Angeles
enjoys permanent prosperity.

Postmaster Dunkelberger yesterday
received his instructions for the estab-
lishment Of free delivery of mail matter
in Los Angeles. The First Assistant
Postmaster General authorizes the en-
ployment of one principal carrier with
salary Of $3.50 per annum, and four
auxiliary carriers at salaries of 5000 per
annum. 1t is recommended that all
parties assigned to routes as carriers
should make careful directory Of the
address Of every person likely to receive
mail matter and report list to the prin-
cipal carrier. A knowledge Of the
German, French, Spanish and English
languages will be convenient stock in
trade for carriers. There are but FIVE
salaried positions, and yet for these Col.
Dunkelberger has had already more than
a hundred applications for positions as
carrier. Young men who can earn $3.50
a month as painters, or 500 per month
as type-setters, or sl2O month in the
mines, will rush in to get salaried
Office of $50 per month. They probably
feel that $50 per month in cash and the
balance in dignity will make them very
comfortable. The first part is good as
far as it goes, and the second part is
pleasant to the feelings, but not very
useful on rent day. From the number
of applications it is evident that there
will be no great scarcity of carriers who
desire to serve their country even at low
wages. The carriers will be obliged to
bring in letters from street boxes as we'll
as to carry letters out. There is no
play about it.

and also Quantities Of joss paper,
