An cid man named William Coniuer was
found dead III his bed at this Place near
Central Point recently. He had long re-
sided there sloue, and lived the life of a
hermit in an adobe house, and 10 WIS sup

Search of the premises after his death
revealed the most primitive arrangements
for his domestic comfort. His water
bucket was followed from white oak
kuot, as were also his drinking and eat,
ing utensils. He reached the water IN
his we'll, some eighteen feet deep, by a
series OF steps cut il the soil. dis eel

of fruit and winter vegetables Re rails
ed no crop but iobacco, of which he sold
a considerable quantity, and il was eur

Fairly christians

Cardinal Wiseman in his "Fobiola'
makes one of his charuoters give the fol-
loving strangely mixed OceOsnt OF the
early Christians, aud II illustrates the
absured ideas which even Intelligent Ro-
mans of that day had in regard tu them:
The Christians" said c hpurness, are a
a foreign seC-, the foun Ter ct which tlonr-
ished many ages ago in Chaldea. His
doctrins were brought TO Rome in the
time of Vaspasian by two brothers nam
ed Pater and Paul. Some maintain that
these were the same two brothers as the
Jews call Moses and Aaron, the second Of
whom sold his birihright TO his brother
for a kid, the skin OF whish he wanted to
mako gloves of. But this identity / do
not admit, as it is recorded in the mysti-
cal books of the ews that the sesond of
these brothers, seeing the others viotir1s
gave better Omens of birds thlu his Own,
tlew him, as our R0malus did Romus, but
with the jaR-bone of an ass, for which he
was hanged by King Mordoch@us OF
Macedon upon gibbet fifty cubes high

Janiculum. There followers, o. whom
they had made many, made the Cross
their symbol and adored j., and they
think the greatest honor to suffer str pes,
and even igpominious death, "a the best
means Of being like their teachers, and,
as they fancy, of going 80 them in a

exists little or no foundation for
this statement. which probably arose
from the fact that Magrath.

OUR GLORIOUS AGE.
20 Reason Why Every Body should Not
lie Happy Now.

No Reason Why Every BODY should No,
Be Happy Now.
We ought to be perfectly happy
that we live in this glorious age OF
scientific thought We believe there
never was another age in which the
astronomer OF Harvard Observatory
could PROFOUND the following problem
and receive so many perfectly reason
ab,o answers to it: Suppose" said
he. that three snakes each two feet
in length should catch one another by
the tip OF the tail. thus making n cir
Gle six feet IN circumference. Sup
pose that each snake should begin to
swallow the one in front OF him. In
what way would the resultant figure
after each snake had swallowed the
one In front OF him differ from tho
original circle?"
Tho answers have boon many and
various. some OF them. we are In
formed. entering the consideration
OF the fourth dimension OF space" be-
cause any one Of the snakes would
have followed tho two In front Of him
and yet have been swallowed by the
two back OF him. and. therefore,
would be both inside and outside OF
his two fellows. The man who lives
in an age when men can tackle and
grasp and make so clear to others an
idea OF this sort has no business to be
going about talking Of the good old
times, or looking hopefully forward to
any thing more millonniumish. -
