Manuscripts OF Gospel Verses Written
in the First or Third Century.

Prof. Karabacek has been good enough
to show me the papyrus which has
lately been discovered among the El
Eayum manuscripts, and which is al
legged TO be the fragmentof gospel older
than those of 81. Matthew and st. Mark.
The writing is in Greek, and Or. G.
Bickell, of the University of Innsbruck,
who discovered and deciphered the frsg-
ment, concludes, from the form of the let
ters and the authorizations. that it was
written In the third century; but from the
style Of tho composition he infers that II
dates originally from the hrat century,
and this is also the opinion Of Or. Edward
Harnark, of the Theologiscde Litcratw
ZeitaRg, Of Leipsic.
Here Is the translation OF the fragment,
line for line. AS already reported, its
parallel is to be found In Matthew, Nxvi.,
verses 80 to "a, and Mark xiv, verses 26
10 80:
/. But after supper, as they went out.
>. You will all take oheuse this night.
3. According TO the Scriptures, 81 viii
smite the shepherd, and the sheep will be
scattered"
4. Then Peter spake.
.. Aud if all, not 1.
&. He said 70 him. r.
7. The cock will crow twice, and before
that thou shall deny Me thrice.
The omission of the words, to be found
both in Matthew aud Mark, "but after
am risen again | will 90 before you into
Galilee," " noticeable. DR.. Bickell. re-
viewing the fragment In the /eitScitrift UT
Cdth0ltSckc Ihe0lOgie, n periodical print
ed ut Innsbruck for private circulation,
lays stress upon the importance Of the
manuscript.
at Is strange that a small strip OF
papyrus, containing about 100 words,
should be able 10 raise 20 many impOr-

manuscript wrote from memory. But

most striking and important passage in

manufactures, our glass works, rolling
mill, steel works and our now fading
canal, (Which once gave employment
to twenty-five hundred boatmen) and
yet the second city in the State in pop
ulation and manufactures has no pub
lie library. We have our expensive
luxuries, such as gas, electric light and
the telephone, but we have no pass
enger railway for the poor man to ride
in, no public resort of an evening ex-
cept the theatre, the skating rink, bill
lard and bar-rooms. The wealthy
citizens of Cumberland have their pri-
vate libraries, their palatial homes,
their gardens and grounds for croquet
and lawn tennis, and flowers, but they
show little of that large spirit of SYM
pathy, that thoughtful consideration,
that hearty desire for others good that
would prompt such measures and in
duce such actions as would, in some
degree, give share of these pleasures
to the masses. They show no realizing
sense of the great fact of the brother
hood of man, and not an atom of faith
in the Golden Rule.
Public spirit that will take pride and
pleasure, not only in enterprises for
materializing wealth, but in measures
for extending the blessings of this life
to all in need, is sadly lacking in Cum
berland. Projects that will make the
city more healthful that will open
the pleasures of intelligence to the
masses; that will tend to promote COM
fort and content among the workers,
are not pushed by prominent citizens,
although we have one or two million
aires among us. The spirit of selfish
ness that will amass wealth that will
luxuriate in all the superlative joys of
life regardless of the grinding of the
poor; blind to the privations of the
toilers and the misery of the masses,
is what foments the bitterness and
enmity between labor and capital, and
will sooner or later, unless modified by
concession, result in bloodshed and an.
archy.
Does anyone wonder THAI Cumber
land is known far and wide as tile

and girls turn from their squalid home:
they find nowhere but the streets te

they have nothing to read but demon

same population public libraries arr
open to them, where they can spent
their leisure hours. Of all amusement:

not say it is "hebetudinous," for we

THE attendance at our churches
last Sunday was generally large and
heartfelt prayers for water assembled
in great volume. This is good poll
cy, but the christians of Frostburg
should not sit down, like overt talented
politicians, and wait for anything
indispensable to happiness to be
brought to them on a salver. Getting
water into town requires wrestling as
we'll as prayer, and many of the unjust
will join them in the athletic part of
the exercise.

MINING JOURNAL.
Saturday Morning, October 8, 1885.

IT is true that the Office of Sheriff
in this county is profitable to the in
cumbent, and, Of course, expensive to
the people.
We do not see, however, that the
latter will gain all that appears to be
sought under reduced expenses.
Under the system Of turning excess
of fees into the State treasury, the
sheriff may work up to $4,000 and be
satisfied that, having no further re-
turns from his labor to look for, he
need not thereafter unduly exert
himself. In that case the people will
lose in efficiency what before they
lost in money. Or, otherwise, every
dollar of excess will be so much cap
ital forever lost to the county-sent
to increase the fund which the horde
Of State officials in the eastern portion
Of the commonwealth successfully
scramble for.
The true plan is to allow the sher-
if all he legally earns, and no more.
The evils complained Of, if we under
stand Alright, do not consist so much
in a violation Of the constitutional
requirement as in the allowance Of
charges larger than fixed by law.
Partly for this cause has clamor
arisen for commissioners who will
overturn the modern system of aud
iting accounts against the county
who will not permit the specious plea
that former incumbents received SO
much to outweigh the restrictions Of
the Code. Not only the fees, but
board and other bills may be mater.
ally reduced.
The law plainly designs, however
that the sheriff shall be we'll paid fol
his services, Q) to make the office de-
sirable to qualified men; (2) to com
pensate for the abandonment of hi
private business; (3) for the discharge
of duties requiring constant watch
fulness and courage, and, to proven
HIM accommodating fortune or per
petuating profitable tenure, (4) i
makes him ineligible to second sue
cessive term.
Therefore, the law should be oh
served as to the fees; then compl
with the Constitution as to the excess
if any.
If Mr.. Houck or Mr.. Lavell
pledges himself to adopt the Code il
making up his accounts, and tn
Constitution as to the disposition Q
the surplus, is it fair, then, to regar
such pledge as blackleg bid 70
election ?
If it is, those who have clamore
for reduced expenses, and who declin
to vote for either on such pretext
will have stultifed themselves an,
defeated perhaps the object of tn
howl.
AS an independent paper we do no
show Partially to either of the gen
tlemen named. Both must stand Of
the platform of economy, constructed
not by our conventions, but by on
Lawmakers. If one avows it, tn
other dare not disavow it.
Hence, if the people mean anything
by the demand for reduced expense
IN the sheriff's Office, we are reasona
bly, certain that the next term viii
inaugurate the reform desired.

WORK OF THE COURTS.

The Union POrters' Branch IncerpO-
rated In the Superior COurt-Other
Business.
The attention of the Superior Court was
occupied during the greater portion OF the
sitting yesterday in hearing the argu-
ment of counsel on the motion for new
trial in the cases of the State against
Justice VIM. H. WoOdhOuse and of
julius Clark and Primus Chisholm. The
court reserved It's decision on all the
motions.
The petition of Silas Proctor, Adam Brad
well, Henry Il. Rain, Richard Waring,
Dolly jackson, M. Wright, L. Cooper,
Mark A. Wicks and others, all colOred,
for the incorporation of ''rhe Union Por-
ters' Branch" was filed and an order
was passed granting the petition. The
petitioners cited the objects of the corpo-
ration to be purely social, charitable and
benevolent, and stated that they had a
fund, arising from contributions from its
members, amounting to $3.50; that the
Branch wished authority to own real es-
tate and leave to increase the capital
fund OF the society when necessary to
the sum of $1,000.
Other business of no material interest
was transacted by the court, when an
adjournment was ordered until tomorrow
morning.
The motion for a new trial on the newly
discovered evidence of Whitfeld's imbe-
cility will be heard on Monday. Afhda-
Wits in support of the motion must be filed
by tomorrow, and parties knowing any
thing on this line, are requested by the
prisoners counsel to communicate with
him tomorrow, or not later than Friday.
The case is a singular one. The negro
has been condemned to be hung, and is
claimed to be an imbecile. The only thing
that stands between his execution and a
communication of his sentence to imprisOr-
ment for life is sufficient proof upon
which a Communication can be based.
