DIR Schuhl's IeCture.

There was large and appreciative audi
ence to hear DR.. Schuhl's lecture at the
Methodist college. Most OF the ministers
with their families were there and heard
the Rabbi in his usual eloquent style dis.
cuss the Assvrian excavations and the Old
Testament, SO as to prove that the various
communications between Assyria and au-
cient Israel are confirmed by the inscrip-
tons on monuments excavated and found
in great harmony with them. He also illus
trated iorCible condolences regarding Oar
winism and other kinds of infidelity as be-
ing contrary both to the Bible and the ex-
cavations. The exercises were opened by
tervent prayer from Dr. A. S. Smith, fol-
lowed by the waltz solo by Miss Virgie
Helm. The song and her own accompania-
ment on the guitar were such as to give
proof of powerful and well-trained So
prano. 1t was stated that Miss Helm as.
tonished the assemblage with her sweet
voice rs those present did not know that
we possessed such a warbler In our midst.

Captain 5. j. Adams, and asked him what

the road lie says parties in this city have
bought up nearly all the construction
claims, and have united with eastern capt
talists, and that the road will be pushed
forward rapidly to Sabine Pass. They will
have ample capital to push through TO
completion, and that the company has not
decided whether they will go to Palestine
or by fairfield, in Freestone county, as the
country around the former place has been
well filled with railroads, and they think
mat by opening upa new country through

dence, that the road would be completed at
as early period as was possible. The re-
