The Central Park Obelisk Decayine.
New York Tribune.


Groups Of visitors gather every day about the
obelisk in Central Park to pick up the fragments
that fall from it and keep them as souvenirs.
These fragments are continually scaling off,
owing to the action of the weather. They are
small! scales Of granite, from the size of a cherry
pit to that of plum pitt and rather thin.
Professor Doremus who is now in Europe has
kept record of his observations of the o3clsk,
and has advised the coating of it with paraffne
to prevent its disintegration. At meet
ing of civil engineers in Maryland,
yesterday. President Egleston confirmed these
statements He said that it was owing to the
stone having been brought from dry to a moist
climate. and that unless it was removed to some
place of shelter in fifteen years it would be de-
composed beyond repair.
THE people are all the time picking up pieces
of the obelisk," said one of the park policeman
to reporter, who inquired, 'but there's plenty
show. It'll take a long time guess, for the
whole stone TO break up"

Here is the translation Of the fragment, line
for line AS already reported, its parallel Is to
be found in Matthew XVI. verses 80 to 81, and
Mark, xiv, verses &c to30:
/. But after supper as they went out.
2. You win all take ofense this night.
3. According to the Scriptures II will smite the
shepherd and the sheep will be scattered.
Z. Then Peter spAae.
5. And if ALI not l.

7. The cock will crow twice and before that thou
shalt deny Me thrice.

in Matthew and Mark. "But after l am risen

manuscript as being the earliest fragment Of Il
written gospel not canonical, indeed, but yet no
pseudograph or heretical composition. DIR.
Blekell's views ere set forth and approvingly
commented upon in an article by Dr. Harnark
which appears in the last number of the
Theologische Literatur Zeitung, of I.eipsic. DR..
Harnark, who is fervent Roman Catholic, dis
tlnguished for his Greek scholarship remarks
that, SO far as he can judge, DR.. Bickell has
taken no liberty with the text, having only
added five letters, which it could be plainly
guessed were the missing ones, but which sim
ply mended broken words without altering the
sense of line. The antiquity and genuineness
OF the fragments are, he argues, beyond dis
pute and he concludes:
cit Is strange that q small strip Of papyrus
containing about one hundred words. should be
able to raise so many important questions with
regard to the originality of two Of the Gospels
but it would be too easy to dispose of these
questions by saying that the papyrus is not
genuine. Having given our opinion as TO the
genuineness, we must, in the interest of truth,
maintain omissions of our Lords prophecy as to
His going into Galilee, except by supposing that
the author of the manuscript wrote from
memory. But what probability is there that
writing from memory. he would have left out
the most striking and important passage in our
Lords conversation with His Disciples? Let
critics more learned than we are endeavor to
account for the omission more satisfactorily
than we can. For ourselves we must submit
that it goes far toward suggesting doubt as to
whether the Gospels ascribed to Matthew and
Mark were, in the form in which we know them
now, composed by those Disciples"

creamery, more or less defective, which is
very hard to place. Nothing is doing in
Western packed goods. New Northern

The Flag in a Georgia Theater.

At the theater, last night, an incident
occurred which is worthy of much more
than local notice. 1t was at the close of
the third act, when the American flag was
introduced on the stage AS soon as that
emblem of the republic was displayed the
enthusiasm of the audience became unre-
strainabe. Cheer after cheer rose from the
gallery, dress circle and parquet, and after
the fall of the curtain the vociferous APP
plause was so long continued that the cur
tain not only had to be again and again
raised, but the actors in the scene were
forced to make their appearance on the stage
before quiet was restored. The assemblage
was emphatcally home audience, COM
posed entirely of Scandinavians, who may
be classed among the can't get-aways. AS
far az is known, not single northern man
or woman was in the theater, and if any
such were present the fact was never once
thought of. The demonstration, therefore,
was the spontaneous outburst of a southern
assemblage, and true and sincere act OF
homage to the flag of our common country.

dlings, $500 to S21.00; cotton seed meal,
$500 to SS27O 90.
FLoUR..-The market is very quiet, but
there is firmer feeling owing to the
strength of the wheat market. Despite the
fluctuations the wheat market maintains an
upward tendency. Our quotations remain
unchanged, but any little start in the flour
market would at once advance prices from
present rates. Fine flour sells at S2.S5 to
$500 per barrel superfine at $3.50 to $3.75;
common extras, $3.50 to $500; medium

contrary, wool is held with great firm

there has been a slight advance. Commits
sion houses continue to receive orders from
consignors TO hold wool for higher prices,
The coarser grades of wool may be said
to be relatively stronger than the finer.

his hands by an East India missionary the
formula of a simple vegetable remedy for the
speedy and permanent cure of consumption,
bronchitis, catarrh, asthma and all throat
and lung affections, also positive and rad
ical cure for nervous debility and all ner-
vous complaints, after having tested its won
derful curative powers in thousands of cases,
has felt it his duty to make it known to his
suffering fellows. Actuated by this motive
