Concerning Aboriginal Giants.

"The Aboriginal Giant Race of Pales-
tine" is the title of n lecture delivered
in the chapel of the Church of the Me-
siah, corner of Greene and Clermont
avenues, Friday evening. by the rector,
Rev. Charles X. Baker.
Mr.. Baker first gave a description OF
the physical geography of the country,
and said that the hills and caves afford
ed so many Businesses for the oppressed
that it was doubtful if any people which
had once occupied the land have ever
been entirely dispossesSed. He showed
that it was only in the highlands OF
Southern Palestine that Egypt had a
defensible frontier. On the east and
north, therefore, she was desirous OF
friendship with any powerful nation
which held it. or of subjugating them
if they were to weak too hold it as bar
rier to her foes. He dated the Occupa-
ton of Palestine by the giant race as
not later than 2500 b. c.. and probably
5000 b. C. Their capital was Hebron,
called the City of Arba, after the founder
of the reigning dynasty. They main
tanned an extensive commerce on the
Mediterranean Sea before the Phoeni-
clans, having trading settlements which
we can trace in Cyprus, and especially
in Crete, which last named place they
held until 900 B. c.
Mr.. Baker stated his reasons for be-
lieving that the Shepherd Kings of
Egypt were of this race. He described
their religion as the worship of Ashto-
reth, which became Venus worship,
when later introduced into Europe. He
described their sacred city, Ashtoreth
Karnaim, and the rites of their religion
performed by eunuchs and female de-
votees. He then described the different
kingdoms into which this empire was
broken up after the Canaanites or
Phgnicians had gained the ascendency
in the land. On the east OF the Jordan
the kingdom of Rephaim was ruled by
Og, whose iron sarcophagus remained at
Barrath until the time of Hezekiah
and was thirteen feet long and six
broad. Then the kingdom of the
Horites of Mount Seir was described by
the lecturer, who gave very curious
piece of their early history from the
Book of Genesis and from Job, showing
Cn6lr QeCdyeu cOuuiIiOH dS Il pOOPlO III
the Eighth Century, before Christ
Mr.. Baker then considered in the
same manner the kingdom of Anakim
at Hebron, governed by a league of
these aristocratic families, the kingdom
of the Amalakites and that of the Phil
istines, whi:h retained its vigor longer
than the others on account of its open
communication by sea with its colonies
in Crete Mr.. Baker then narrated
some of the strange legends taken from
an old book current in the early Chris
tan ages and said to be a chronology
of Og. He said the Arabs still told OF
his great size, and that stream in the
East was bridged with one of his ribs.
In the Middle Ages of Europe legend
was told of him that he was alive before
the flood and escaped by clinging to
the stern of Noah's Ark; that he lived
to torment men until Moses miracu-
lously slew him. DR.. Baker closed with
some remarks upon the rise and de-
cadence of nations.-PhitGdeLphto

RHODA FARRAND.

In the last of these Centennial days,
Let me sing a song to a WOman's praise:
How she proved herself In that time OF strife,
Worthy OF being patriots wife.
A little Wornan she was-hOt young,
But ready of wit and quick OF tongue;
One of the kind of which Solomon told:
Setting their price above rubies and gold.
A memory brave clingS around her name;
Twas Rnoda Farrand. and worthy of fame.
Though scarce she dreamed twould be woven
in rhymes,

Mr.. Voorhees, Looking Out for Himself
Speech by Eugene II. Bundy.
Correspondence Of the Indianapolis Journal.
mitchell. Sept 20 For the past week the
inhabitants of this entire section have been kept
constantly reminded of the fact that Senator
Voorhees, would address the people of this vi
cinity at Mitchell on Friday Sept 49, at 1;3O p.
NJ Flaming posters and thousands Of hand
bills were posted up in every town, village and
cross roads, announcing this great event: also,
that excursion trains would run on all railroads
and the people be given the benefit of reduced
rates At last the time came. Mitchel--the
Democratic part of twas all ablaze with en-
thusiasm, while flying streamers were to be seen
floating to the breeze from the heuse-tops of
every patriotic Democrat. The excursion trains
arrived, Mr.. Voorhees, arrived, procession was
formed and everybody started for the grove
where the honorable Senator was greeted by an
audience of not more than one thousand persons
Now, it is very apparent that Mr.. Voorhees, is
much more concerned IN the election
of Democratic Legislature which
will either re-elect him senator from
this State or choose his successor, than he is
about the election Of the Democratic national
and State tickets. This is evidenced from the
FACT that In the speech delivered here he occu-
pied large portion of his time in telling his
hearers what he intended to do in the future
Hardly a question was discussed without the
audience being given to understand that he had
invariably been on the right side of it. and that
he, their servant, had always been dutiful one,
at all times endeavoring to best subserye their
interests All in all, it was plainly seen that he
was talking for reelection, and that the cleo
ton of the national and State tickets was a sec
ondary consideration
At night the Republicans held rousing meet
ing, having a much larger crowd than that of
the Democratic hurra in the afternoon. A
torehllght procession of fully two hundred voters
in line, headed by the Mitchell and Bedford cor
net bands, marched through the town. The
Mitchell, Orleans and Bedford glee clubs en-
llvened the occasion by dscoursing some fine
music, after which three enthusiastic cheers
rent the air for Blaine and Logan.
Hon. Eugene Bundy, Republican candidate
for Governor, was introduced to the audience,
which numbered at least 1,500 While his speech
was not lengthy, it was eloquent, clear and ar
gumentative, and made good impression. He
completely refuted the four hundred millions-of
money in the treasury argument so Universally
raised by the Democratic stump orators. Mr..
Bundy was followed by General Paul Wander
WORT, x-commander-in chief of the Grand Army
of the Republic; Hon. Bruce Carr, Republican
candidate for auditor of State, and Capt George
w. Friedley of Bedford

Correspondence Of the Indianapolis Journak
BRAZIL, Sept. 21.-Major Carter spoke at
Hoosierville, point on the South branch about
four miles from here, last night The audience
that assembled was somewhat remarkable in
point of numbers. 1t is conceded to have been
the largest crowd ever got together in jackson
township A train of ten cars was procured, car
rying about 500 persons. The train encountered
an obstruction on the route, consisting Of num-
Der of ties, which had been piled upon the track
Luckily, the train was running slowly and with
extreme caution, and the cars were stopped
shortly before the obstruction was reached, and
no serious damage was done. Major Carter
spoke for about an hour and twenty minutes,
and made strong speech. He was followed by
James A. McNntt in a half-hvur speech The
meeting was one of the best yet held in the
county.

When He Speaks Next Tuesday.
Marion Chronicle
Twenty four years ago, during the excitement
of the Lincoln Douglas Breckenridge Bell cam
paign, Hon. Cassius NJ. Clay then anoted orator,
addressed the Republicans of Grant county on
the issues of that time. which have since passed
into history. He spoke in McClure's woods, and
his eloquent Grafton is remembered to this day.
Since then Mr.. Clay has been before the country
as one of our prominent men. He came to this
town in stage and the time occupied in riding
by the slow aid Of horses over bad roads from
would take him now to reach us from, his home
in kentucky. Hefound the county-seat of Grant
a village of l. 200 or 1000 inhabitants, shut out
from the world; with no other means of
reaching it than over the mud and
corduroy paths bearing the digniied name of
roads He returns to find Marion a thriving
town of near 1000 people, the central point of
three railroads, the termination of more than a
dozen turnpikes with its wealth increased a
dozen fold. He will meet very few of the old
citizens who cheered his ringing sentences on
that memorable day. One there is with us still
who will greet him with enthusiasm. Samuel
Mcclure his senior by several years. will clasp
his hands in welcome, and with the same fervor
that moved him at that time It was a graceful
act of Mr.. McClures to tender to the old patriot
the same place to greet the generation of to-day
where he stood twenty four years ago. The same
tree that threw its shadow over the eloquent
speaker before the war is standing still, and
win shelter him next Tuesday as he speaks to
people, many of whom had their birth with the
Republican party, then an infant, and now the
greatest political organization that ever existed.

GREENsBURG Sept 2l.-Hon. John w. Lovett
of Anderson, spoke at Carksburg twelve miles
northeast of here, last night The Democrats
hoping to break the force Of the meeting made
an appointment for the same village at the same
hour and sent two speakers there This is the
second time, at least, that this has been done in
this county during this campaign But
the main crowd went to the Re
publican meeting, leaving the Democrats
sorely chargined over their cold defeat. A glee
club rendering some fine music and large num-
Der of ladies added much to the interest Of the
occasion Mr., Lovett devoted most of his excel
lent speech to the tariff question and the rela-
ton 1t bore to the farming interest of the people.
He closed with chaste review of the two party
candidates, urging young men especially to begin
right by enlsting under the banner of Blaine,
Logan and victory.
Thomas Anthony, of Laurel, who has been
Democrat for more than fifty years. closed the
meeting in few words, promising his support,
along with number Of former Democratic as
sociates, for the entire Republican ticket This
was an excellent meeting the crowd being linn
tied only by the size of the hall, which held per-
haps more than five hundred people.
