Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1884-09-20


The body of an Indian gentleman has
been cremated at Etretat, France, in curl
o,,s circumstances. Baboo Sahed Chatjay,
Marableu gentleman, who had accompan'
led his son-in-law, Sampatras, the brother
of the Maharajan Gaekwar, of Baroda one
of the chief princes of India, to Europe,
died recently at Etretat OF an abscess in the
throat. Permission was requested OF the
Mavor to cremate the body, and ne imme-
diately telegraphed to the authorities for.
authorization enabling the Indians to per-
form their sacred rites. He aided them in
eyery possible way to carry out their lnten-
tions. The permission having been granted,
at midnight wood was carried down to the
north end of the beach, behind Juttlng
point of the cliff hidden from the town, and
there pile of two or three feet in height
was carefully built of logs crossed and re-
crossed, with the ends toward the north
and south. The ceremony of sprinkling
the sacred powder over the body and an
nointing it was very simple. The fire was
in small earthern bowl and was made OF
sandal wood, which is difficult to obtain IN
Etretat. But in this case carved box,
souvenir of India, was presented for the pu' :

who happened to have it with her. The body
was laid upon the pile, with the head toward
the north, and then covered with more
wood saturated with oil. 1t was now two
o'clock, and the funeral pile was carefully;

been we'll kept, so that not more than ,wen'

TIE EARLIEST PROPHECY OF a SAVIOUR

TIE EARLIEST PROPHECY OF a SAVIOUR.
There is remarkable connection between
toe Specifications of the ten words which art
given in the fifth chapter ofGenesis as the
names of the ten successive patriarchs from
| Adam to Noah; connection which, it be
not close enough to warrant our calling it 8
direct prophecy, is certainly an extraordi
nary coincidence, and worthy the attention
of the curiously inclined.
There is indisputably to be found In the
Specifications of these words sentence
which declares mans misery by the fall OF
Adam, and his rescue from it by the coming
of Christ.
The sentence may be thus written: "To
man, appointed to mortality and toll, the
blessed God shall descend, revealing him.
self the giver, to the smitten, of rest or con-
solation."
name of each patriarch, in order, and see il
our Interpretation be correct.
As to Adam, we suppose hardly any one
of our readers is ignorant of its import, and
that it signifies man. Seth, in the Hebrew
Sheth, means appointed, being derived from
verb meaning to place, put or appoint;
and Eve herself chose this name from its
having this Specification, as appears in Gen.
iv. 25. EnoS is written in the Hebrew
Enosh, and in Smiths Bible Dictionary is
interpreted, "Man, especially as mortal
or decaying" Cocceius, an early lexi-
cographer, says of this word, "It is plain
that this name is applied to man help.
less in the misery into which he fell
through Sin )" and this misery was the
condemnation to death; in other words, to
mortality. Cainan is derived by Gesenius
from an Arabic word signifying to forge,
one of the most arduous kinds of labor or
toll; and toll was joined with death in the
primal curse. Mahalaleel is compounded
of two words which signify "the praise OF
God," or "the blessed God" Jared means
descent, from the Hebrew Jarad, the root
of the word Jordan meaning to descend
Enoch, or Chanok in the Hebrew, signifies
teachng, or teH3slAheF eH3sslAhnseiaf is 'the man of off
sprlng. 81 Tue source or giver. The sigDitica-
ton Of Lamech is somewhat doubtful, but
we are told that it is derived from the He

for their iniquity and our interpreta

(Gen. ", 29).

PENDANT In the action, was the divorced
wife OF Thomas Steer. OF Kalama 800,

Der Is, 1881. In his complaint be makes
the following allegation: That he has for
long time been sufferer from asthma
and other diseases; that defendant 10 about
40 years Of age, very strong aud powerful
for woman, and much stronger than
plaintiff; that she Is Of very violent tenn
per. and avarcious aud greedy In her dis
position; that within few months
after their marriage she demanded
kl0, 900, and commenced to abuse and ILL
treat him for refusing to comply with the
request, threatening to knock out his brains
and do him other bodily harm; that this
conduct became 20 violent as to endangsr
bis life and render 1t entirely unsafe for
him TO live with her: that July 20, 1889,
she threatened to whip him within an inch
Of bis life. He asked her not to lay violent
hands upon him. She theieupon heated
q poker and threatened to make
mark on his body that he would
carry to the grave. Suiting her action to
the word she assaulted him with poker
and burned his arm. In consequence of
this assault he entered into written con.
tract with her whereby she agreed that
she would absent herself continuously
from his residence; that she would not
communicate With him or modest him or
make any claim upon him In any manner,

| and the walls for several ieet above 1t, had
been tightly cslked and tarred which
caused il to float SO msgnidcently, but it
was deserted of ev 'ry living thing, and the
inhabitants, to Judge from the fact that
furniture, etc, remained in some OF the
rooms, though iu greatly confused state,
| had fed In great haste. A huge hog'chain,
dashed around timber braced across one OF
the windows and the other end attached to q
stout wooden pin that had evidently been
recently drawn from the ground, told how
the wind storm of Tuesday afternoon, strik-
the few habitations remaining at Paducah,
had torn this one from its moorings and
turned it loose upon the raging food to be
carried to a securer foundation in this city
to where most of the homeless inhabitants
Of the Inflated city had preceded it.
The organ of the Paducah lying club,
which is now being issued from q raft of
logs anchored over the spot where once the
Richmond house stood, has the fortitude to
declare that when the cruel food goes
down tho work of rebuilding the town
will be Immediately commenced and that
in less than five years Paducsh will again
b. city of at least thousand prosperous
people. The blind faith of the organ Of
the diciples of Ananias borders on the
sublime and is IN danger of reaching the
ridiculous. Our great and good heart
bleeds with pity at the thought of the fear
full shock the organ will receive when it
shall be forced to discard the thick
veil OF sslf-deception in which it has
snvelopsd itself and be confronted with
the terrible reality of complete desolation
surrounding it.
-Ameng the three or four men who were
picked up from fragments of Paducah as
they were carried swiftly passed this point,

men of humanity with red nose and
lying tongue. lie SAID hls name
was Uphsm and as he floated by East Cairo
at q two-forty rate astraddle of the free
lunch counter that had once graced no.
torious place called "The cottage by the
Sea-" on one of the principal thoroughfares
in Paducah, he gave very forcible illus.
tration OF "the ruling passion strong in
DEATH" But he was rescued and last night
was in . fair way to recover under the
kind treatment OF the hospital attendants.
1t is the opinion OF the attending physi.
clan, however, that, while the POOR fellow
will be cured of every other ailment, his
propensity for handling the truth in an
outrageous manner aud for excessively pun
ishing bad whisky can only be cured by q
surgical operation that will insure visit
from the sabe-winged angel of death.
