The man Of the nineteenth century
seems bent on annihilating time. At
the Louisville Exposition, the governor
Of Arkansas wore Il suit Of clothes
made from cotton which had been
cleaned, ginned, carded, spun, dyed,
worn, cut and stitched by the tailor,
all in one afternoon. Forty.four hours
before. it was still unpicked in the cot
ton field, five hundred miles away. AS
remarkable an exploit was performed
by a Missouri farmer who gave his
neighbors griddle cakes and biscuits
baked in four minutes and half from
the time the wheat was standing in
the field. And this included a journey
to and from the mill, distant sixteen
rods from the wheat field.

EXCITING EVENTS.

AUorpss that was hurriedIy Buried.
George Hagerman, living near Perryo-
polls, Fayette county, while hewing tim
her in the woods fell from the log with q
stroke of Apoplexy. He was found several
hours afterwards in an UNCONSCIOUS crnol'
tiop, from which he never rallied. Next
day, while his grave was being dug, the
workmen found the body of man two or
three feet under the surface, who had been
dumped into the hole, three feet long, with
his every day clothes on and without
coffin. The discovery recalled the fact
that few years ago three strangers made
a short visit to the place. One OF them
soon afterwards mysteriously disappeared
and the others then went away. 1t is be-
lievei this is the man and that he was
murdered by his two companions, as
fire had been made over the grave to cover
up the traces.
A Terrible Explosion of Gas.
At four O'Clock yesterday morning John
N. Wort, foreman of the Fort wayne das
company for the past twenty years, entered
a small brick structure containing the
main gas meter of that company with
lighted match on tour of inspection: "A
quantity of gas, which had escaped from

received injuries from which he is unlikely
to recover. William Lehman, a teamster,
was also seriously injured.

At Betchuau, a small village twcnty
miles below Point Esquimaux, fourteen
men who had just returned from the seal
fishery, were dividing two kegs of gun
powder in one of their houses. One was
smoking at the time, and it is supposed
that spark fell into the powder. The
house was blown to atoms and two of the
men were carried about one hundred
yards. Seven of the party were terribly
burned, but none were killed outright.

GOOD ADVICE.

''My son, when you hear man growl-
ing and scolding because Moody gets
5000 week for preaching Christianity,
you will perceive that he never worries
minute because Ingersoll gets 5000 a
night for preaching atheism. You will
observe that the man who is unutterably
shocked because F. Murphy gets $3.50 a
week for temperance work, seems to
think it is all right when the barkeeper
takes in twice as much money in single
day. The laborer is worthy of his hire,
my boy, and he is just as worthy of it in
the pulpit as he is upon the stump. Is
the man who is honestly trying to save
your soul, worth less than the man who
is only trying his level best to go to con-
gress? Isn't Moody doing as good work
as Ingersoll? Isn't John B. Cough as
much the friend of humanity as the bar
tender? Do you want to get all the good
in the world for nothing, so that you may
be able to pay high price for the bad?
Remember, my boy, the good things in
this world are always the cheapest.
Spring water costs less than corn whis-
key; box of cigars will buy two or
three bibles; gallon of old brandy costs
more than barrel of -four; ssfull hand''
at poker often costs a man more than his
church subscription amounts to in three
years; a state election costs more than a
revival Of religion; you can sleep in a
church every Sunday morning for nothing
if you are mean enough to dead-beat your
lodging in that way, but a nap in a Pull
man car costs you two dollars every
time; fifty cents for the circus, and a PEN
ny for the little ones to put in the mis-
sionary box; one dollar for the theater,

and a pair of old trousers frayed at the
end, baggy at the knee, and utterly
bursted as to the dome, for the Michigan
sufferers; the dancing lady who tries to
wear the skirt of her dress under her
arms and the waist around her knees, and
kicks her slippers clear over the orches-
ira chairs every night, gets 5000 week,

day, and the church fair lasts a week.
works twenty-five or thirty of the best
women in America to death, and comes
out $40 in debt. Why, my boy, if you
ever find yourself sneering or scoffing be-
cause once in a while you hear of a
preacher getting a living, or even lux
urious salary, or a temperance worker
making money, go out in the dark and
feel ashamed of yourself, and if you don't
feel above kicking mean man, kick your
self. Precious little does religion and
charity cost the old world, my boy; and
when the money it does give is flung into
his face, like a bone to a dog, the donor
is not benefited by the gift, and the re-
ceiver is not, and certainly should not be,
grateful. It is insulted. '-Bardette.

THE SAVIOUR'S BIRTH.

The date of the birth of Jesus has al
ways been puzzle to historians, who
can not agree whether 1t was in TAT, 749
or Isl of Rome. Prof. Sattler Of Munich
now comes forward with an argument in
favor of 749, which, if not conclusive, is
at least believed to be worthy of studious
consideration, as helping to reconcile the
testimony of the evangelists with the 9TH
er historical data upon this point Four
copper coins have recently been discover
ed which were struck in the reign of Her
Cd Antipas, one of the oldest sons Of Her
cd the Great, and Prof. Sattler believes
they fix definitely upon the real date of
the fifteenth year Of the reign Of Tiberius
Caesar, when, according to Luke, John
began to babtize, though Augustus died
in August, 767. Tiberius was appointed
a regent a year and half earlier, he says,
or in February, 766, so that it was $50
when Jesus was baptized. That would
bring his birth about 748, and corrobora-
tive testimony is found in the statement
of Matthew that Jesus was an infant when
Herod died, which was in $50. The
testimony of Luke that Jesus was born in
the year when by a decree of Augustus,
Cyrenius, governor Of Syria, made the
first census of Judea, is not so easy OF
explanation. The will of Augustus shows
that a thorough census of an empire had
been made. In fact he made three-in
1876, TAG and 1855. The one made, as Luke
says, in the reign of Herod, must have
been that ordered in 746, which was prob
ably not begun till the next year; and
Prof Sattler thinks the apparent incon-
sistency of the evangelist is explained by
the supposition that the census was not
taken in Jerusalem till two years later
or in 749. Another reason for the belize
that this was the year Of birth is found il
the statement of an evangelist that Jesus
began to preach forty-six years after Her
cd built the temple at Jerusalem. 1t i:
known that this building was begun
eighteen years after Herod was appoint
| ed regent, or in 1874, and this would Civ,
| 7S0 as the year of the beginning of Jesus
preaching, and in accord with the othe
writer's. If this ingenious reasoning
to be accepted, then this is not the yea
1888 at all, but 1888.

LITTLE TIM.

Warm hearts are sometimes found I'M
der ragged jackets, as shown by the fol-
lowing incident:
A kit is box of tools of whatever out
fit is needed in any particular branch of
business.
1t surprised the sinners and newsboys
around the post-office the other day to
see ''Little Tim" coming among them in
a quiet way, and hear him say:
''Boys l want to sell my kit. Here's
two brushes, hui box of backing, and a
good stout box, and the outfit goes for
two shillings."
''Goin' away, Tim?" inquired one.

''Goin' on askursion?" asked another.

One of the lads passed over the change
and took the kit; and Tim walked straight
to the counting room of daily paper,
put down the money and said, 81 guess l

With slow moving fingers, he wrote a
death notice. 1t went into the paper al
most as he wrote it but you might not
have seen it.
He wrote:

| The big tears came up, his chin quivered
'I-I had to sell my kit to do it, b-but
he had his arms around my neck when he

He hurried away home but the news
went to the boys and they gathered into
group and talked. Tim had not beer
home an hour before barefooted boy
left the kit on the doorstep, and in the
box was bouquet of flowers, which haC
been purchased in the market by pennie:

ion of the third heaven, lest he should be
exalted above measure, may be the ex-
PLANTATION of these trying visitations of
Satan to believers after their ascents to
the highlands of faith. Vanity is so
deeply ingrained in the human heart that
even after its regeneration it is liable to
be pulled up through the very grace which
is given to sanctify it. 1t is, therefore,
a mark of paternal mercy when God per-
mitS Satan to assault a saint after he
comes down from the mount of privilege.
And then, O Astounding grace! as the an
gels minister to Christ victorious in the
wilderness, so does the spirit come laden
with rich comforts to the disciple who
oyercomes his temper. Is not the sweet
ness, the joy, the chastened rapture of
such consolation more than a compensa-
ton for the pangs of the conflict with
Satan? Surely, the depths of grace are
infinite
