On the morning Of the day before
his death, it is said, the late Marshall
Jewell, awokc from n sound sleep and
at once asked what was the matter at
the home Of William T.. Dodge. A
telegram had Just been received by Mr..
Jcwell's family announcing the death
of Mr.. Dodge, but it was not thought
best to let Mr.. Jewell know it, so he
was told that all was well there. lie
would not believe them. Something
had happened, he said; some great af-
fiction had overtaken the family. In
sisting upon this, and refusing to ac-
cept his family's denials. he at length
induced them to telegraph to New
York to see what was the matter. But
Mrs. Jewell so worded the telegram as
to instruct those who received it to an
swer that everything was all right
When that answer came they tJld Mr..
Jewell, who refused to believe it, and
asked to see the message itself This
request being granted, and having the
ocular proof before his eyes, in the
shape of an unmistakable telegraph
message, he obviously remarked
"Wcll, it does seem to be SO; but it is
very strange; | know there is some
thing the matter, that something seri-
GUS has happened to Mr.. Dodge's
house in New York" And that i'm
preston he retained, until soon after
ward, he too, ended his earthly life

disease, instead of prescribing remedies pro-
ceeds to lecture the patient on the folly of
having exposed himself to the causes
of the malady. Men do not want lecturing.
Life is too short for that. They want reme-
dies. Sin is disease-moral disease. God
gives remedy. 1t is our business to take it.
But in Heaven there is no curse. The curse
cannot xist where God is-wherc the Lamb
is. As the curse is alienation from God, so
reconciliation with God removes the curse
And men, by their acceptance Of Gods plan
of salvation, could do much toward banishing
the curse from the earth. God is love, and if
mon loved their God and their neighbor with
all their hearts the bitterness of the curse
would pass away. Love of God would make
man pure and obedient; love of man make
him kind and just. Think what world this
would be If all mankind would at once put self
under foot, and devote their every energy to
loving each the other! How soon would
quarrels and unkindness and strife and inn
purity be things of the past 1T is said that
the track of the German army in France
during the late war between those countries
may be traced over the CORY battle fields, the
frowning entrenchments, the forts, the ruined
hamets, the smoking ruins, by the multitudes
of strange flowers that have sprung up and
now bloom in beautiful luxuriance where war
made its devastating trace. German flowers
thus have sought to hide the destruction
wrought on French soil by German armies
So in the world of nature outside and the hui
man soul within do the flowers of love and
religion bloom up in strange and thoughtful
beauty, covering the swarthy havoc, the
blackening ruin, which sin always makes
where man moves and has his being.

THE ASCENSION OF CHRIST.

THE LESSONS DRAWN BY REV. DIR. HART
SOCK, OF HAMLINE CHURCH,
At Hamline NJ. Il. church Rev. DIR. Hart
sock preached yesterday morning at IL o'clock
to congregation from PHILIPPIANS, II, o..
The reverend gentleman said that the ascen-
sion of Christ was the grandest event in the
history of the world.
Jesus, when leaving his disciples, said; "I
go to prepare a place for you" The glory
into which He entered was His glory. His
ascension, this divine necessity, is q golden
chain connecting heaven and earth; it
reaches from the beginning to eternity.
Christ came into the world to accomplish a
great work. He accomplished it, then re-
turned from whence He came to prepare q
final dwelling place for those who obey His
laws and have faith in Him.
The. speaker then gave beautiful and
graphic description of the ascension as wit
messed by the disciples of Christ.
The condition and surroundings of Jesus
while here upon earth were contrasted, as far
as possible, with His condition and surround
ings in heaven in q manner both interesting
and impressive. His words and acts while
here were without fault or flaw. In Him
were centered the prosperity and happiness of
all the generations to come. Christianity is
the foundation of all true art, science, good
government, prosperity, happiness, and sue
cess. The cause of our success in this life
is on account of our belief in Christ
and our trust in God. The love of Christ is
incompatible and without bounds; let all
sing His praise, for "His love.cannot be told"
The saving power Of Jesus was beautifully
portrayed by the use of Biblical phrases and
figures. "Have faith" concluded the speaker,
Sin God, in the church, and in yourself
Look to Him for everything you wish here
and desire hereafter Have faith in Him,
trust Him, and believe in Him and you will
appear with Him in glory and be able to say
this is our God, the God we have waited fog
so lonpln

THE LATE COL. j. w. DREW.
A Brief Sketch OF an Active and Eventrul
Life.


Col. Joseph W. Drew, who died in this city
last Wednesday morning, was native of
Dover, N. H., and was SO years of age. From
lSl9 to 1873 he resided on the Pacific coast,
whore he held many important positions Of
trust, In the early struggles of the pioneers
of Oregon he took an active part. He served
efficiently as quartermaster general of the
territorial forces, and also served several
terms in the territorial legi stature of Oregon,
and one session was presid ent of the council.
Col. Drew was an intimate friend of the
late Col. Il. ID. Baker, and the election of
the latter was largely duo to Col,
Drew. Early in 1861 he assisted in
inaugurating the organization of the
union party of Oregon, and was one of its
leaders until 1862, when President Lincoln
appointed him paymaster in the army. He
remained in the military service until 1866.
In that year he engaged in mining operations
in Nevada, which he pursued with varying
success till failing health compelled him TO
abandon them. Being rendered position in
tho department of Justice he camo to this
city remaining here till his death. He was
then employed in the POstOtiice department
to which he had been transferred at his own
request in July, 1881. Col. Drew was gem
tleman of culture and refinement. His gem
erosity was unbounded, his purse always
being open tothe call ofcharity, and, although
his means during his last days were limited
there are many in this city whose pressing
necessities for years past were cheerfully re-
lieved by him. To do an act of kindness was
to him a pleasure and he even delighted in
assisting the needy and unfortunate He
was a gentleman through and through cor
rect in his department, simple in his tastes,
and pure in his thoughts.
