TEACHING OF THE TWELVE APOSTLES

We publish in this issue the celebrated
document which bears the above title, and
which is just now receiving so much attention
from Christian scholars. Its discovery is, to
say the least, very remarkable, and if it be
authentic, as seems probable, it may lead to
most important results,
1t was discovered in the library of the Most
Holy Sepulchre, in Constantinople, by the
accomplished scholar Philotheos Bryennios,
the Metropolitan of Nicomedia. 1t is said to
be as old as the early part of the second cen
fury. Bryennios says it was composed be-
tween 12O and $50 A. D.; but it may have
been written at a still earlier date. It's author
is unknown 1t lays no claim to inspiration.
1t has no divine authority. But if it be, as is
claimed, a statement of the teaching of the
apostles, reaching back almost to the
apostolic age, then manifestly, it is most
valuable chapter in church history.
The reader will observe that the style of
the Teaching" is very simple; and the fire.
queuJ ILLUSIONS TO Une New Testament scrip
lures, and especially to the Sermon on the
Mount, are noteworthy. 1t is also significant
that while the Teaching of the Twelve
Apostles" does not so far as we have observed,
cont1avene the teaching of the New Tesla
ment, yet it does decidedly contradict certain
sectarian dogmas for which apostolic authority
has been claimed. All denominations will
find in the document much worthy their at
tention and the discussions will be varied and
warm.
So far, the critics, both in Europe and this
country, agree with the learned Bryennios
that this ancient manuscript is authentic. If
this be so, who knows but some patient ex-
plorer may yet discover still richer treasures,
including the inspired manuscripts, as they
came from the evangelists and the apostles
themselves

SOME New York ladies who had grown tired
of crowded streetcar platforms organized an
informal convention recently, and unanimous
ly adopted a resolution requesting the superin-
tendents of street railways to either order
conductors to keep the back platforms clear,
or oblige men who obstruct the passage way
and thereby prevent access to the hand rails
TO wear shawl-straps buckled around their
waists, with the handles within easy grasp of
passengers, in order to enable the latter to
enter or leave the car with safety. Something
of the sort is needed in Indianapolis But we
forgot; there is no superintendent of the Indi-
annapolis street railway.

On railway train in Connecticut, one day
last week, travelled the Rev. Joseph Cook In
the same car were a lady and her child. The
latter was fretful. The great religious slugger
was disturbed, and calling the conductor, re-
quested that the woman and baby be removed
to the baggage car. Unfortunately, the con-
ductor did not take Mr.. Cook by the nape Of
the neck and waltz him off into the caboose.
A great moral reform will be worked when
somebody can be found to E'wipe the earth"-
speaking after the manner of the street-with
this behemoth of egotism and bad manners.

THE House, having only matter of seven
thousand unconsidered bills to look after,
paused on Monday to discuss the ACCESSIBILITY
of investigating bogus butter The species of
man who likes to potter around in the kitchen
''under foot" when he ought to be outside at
tending to his legitimate business of making
a living for his family, seems to be largely
represented in Congress. If that body will
attend to the tariff question, land grants, ap-
preparation bills, and few other such little
matters, the States will see to their own
culinary affairs.

THE French commission might well have
omitted their criticisms upon newspapers
which advised the postal clerks not to appear
before it. So far as the Journal is concerned
it gave that advice because it believed it wise,
and for the good both of the clerks and the
postal service. We should give the same ad-
vice again; and it must be clear to everybody
now, except the commission, that it would be
infinitely better all around had that advice
been taken. However, that is a matter upon
which there may be difference of opinion.
But there can be no difference of opinion
about the improperly Of an official
criticism of the newspaper press be-
cause its conduct may not suit the

GENERAL JOHN B. GORDON, of Georgia,
has made a pilgrimage to Greystone, the Dem
ocratic Mecca, and, though he is silent as to
Tilden's physical agility, he has no manner of
doubt that the sage's mind is very active. In
discussing the chances of various presidential
candidates the old man was non committal un-
til Payne was mentioned, when he at once re-
marked that he couldb elected without doubt
When asked why, lie replied:
II have three reasons, which to me are very
cogent. First, Mr. Payne has invariably been
right on every one of the questions that have
divided public sentiment during the past thirty
years. 1t is pretty hard to find such men in
the Democratic party. Secondly his nomi-
nation will not brighten the business element
of the country into another outpouring of cash
to aid the Republicans. Lastly, he has the
ability to conduct the canvass, the wealth
necessary to its legitimate expenses and the
vigor to undertake reform after the election.
These three things are hard to find combined
in one man"

things or whether the too-eager listener

COLONEL CASH, the distinguished South Caro-
lima murderer, who makes his own terms with
the authorities, having been feelingly described
as an officer who had done brave and brilliant
service for the Confederacy, 'One Who Served
Under Him" writes to the Charleston News and
Courier telling different story. ''The only
act" says the correspondent, "by which Cash
gained any notoriety, so far as 1 know, occurred
at the first battle of Manassas Soon after pur-
suit commenced by our forces we captured gen
tleman in citizens dress, who proved to be Mr..
Ely, a member of Congress from the State of
New York. He was taken in charge by Captain
John W. Harrington, of Company E, Eighth
South Carolina regiment, and treated with
every mark of courtesy due his rank as pris
oner of war. Captain Harrington introduced
him to the other officers and no one treated him
with any incivility until he was introduced to
Colonel Cash. This gallant confederate imme
diately drew his revolver and presented it at Mr..
Ely, with a voley of oaths, declaring he intended
to kill him. He chased Mr.. Ely round and
round Captain Harrington, and afterwards round
tree, with his pistol and abuse, to the utter dis
gust and contempt of both officers and men un-
der his command"

A DIME museum in Detroit offers, in addition
to its other varied attractions, an automatic ex
position of scenes in the life of Christ. Patrons
of the place who have become weary of rows of
beautiful maidens, fat women, living skeletons,

minds attuned to things spiritual by turning
their heads and gazing at wire and wax-work
representation of the babe in the manager, fol
lowed by the baptism, the walking on the water,
raising of the dead, etc, Notwithstanding the
scriptural character of these productions, there
are people in Detroit so lost to the elevatng in

Nick limo was attending to some work
IN tile rear of his building, when he
was attracted by sudden light that
shone around him. He looked up and
discovered the appearance of brisk
flames shining from the windows Of
the building near the Merchants hotel,

newspaper, but now used us a Chimes
laundry. He rushed to the door
and found it fastened, but forced it
open and dashing a pail of water upon
the flames quickly checked them SO
that they were afterward completely
extinguished without difficulty. The
fire had siezed upon a quantity of
wood piled around the stove, the bed
standing near it and upon clothes that
were hanging all around the rsom to
dry. The inference would be that tho
Cinnamon had left hot fire in the
stove when they went out, and that
the wood piled against it had become
heated till it burned into flames whici,

and the flames, if unchecked, would
have burned their way through the
walls or roof of the building, and as II
strong wind was blowing at the time,
other buildings near would have been
seriously endangered. 81.
