THE BIRTHPLACE OF JESUS,
Nazareth as It Appears In the Nineteenth
Century.

Century.J
One of the best views of the city is to be
had from the campanile of the Church of
the Annuneiation. In the distance is the
brow of the hill to which Jesus was led by
the enraged multitude who attempted to
throw him from it. A modern house in the
foreground brings to mind the time when
they uncovered roof and let down the bed
whereon the sick of the palsy lay. This
must be very much the same kind of house
as that historical one at Capernaum.
There is the peculiar roof, and there are the
outside stairs leading to the roof The
Eastern householder makes bis roof serve
for more than protection from the
weather. 1t is the piazza, the quiet place
Of the dweller, and sometimes it becomes
his summer residence, As a rule it is not
very heavy or very sIrong. Rafters are
thrown across from wall to wall, say yard
apart; then the whole space is covered with
twigs such as we saw the women selling in
the market place. On these the slender
limbs of trees are thrown and thickly
coated with mortar. Lastly, thick spread
of earth is thrown on, rolled to level, and
oftentimes sown with grass seed.
Thus by care manyof the roofs become as
smooth and soft as a machine-mown lawn.
They may be easily broken up and anything
lowered inside from above. By some such
process the four bearers Of the poor palsled
man managed to enlist the attention of the
Great Physician in behalf of their friend.
1t is not hard to understand it all when
viewing such house as this one at Nazar-
eth. 1t would not be difficult for four men
to carry a lame friend in hammock BY the
outer stairway up to the roof, and, breaking
through, let him down into the apartment
or court below.
Not far from this same house, in narrow
street, is little chapel erected upon the
site of Joseph's carpenter shop. Over the
altar is picture representing Mary and
Joseph instructing Jesus, and finding that
he knew more than they. Another painting
represents the lad Jesus assisting his father
at work. 1t contains no accessories of the
carpenters shop, but there are enough OF
them in the shops close BY. The websaw,
the gluepot, the plane and the hammer are
the principal tools used in such shops, all
without the modern improvements. Yet
whatever the Palestine carpenter produces
is from the fragrant cedars of Lebanon or
from the eccentrically knotted and gnarled
olive wood. The operation of bargaining
and waiting for any article of wood to come
from Palestine carpenter shop is a
lengthy one. Articles Of wood are q lux
ury there, and when the carpenter receives
an order for one he usually employs the
next three days of his life in soliciting the
congratulations of his friends upon his won
derful good fortune in receiving can order
for something made of wood"

A HAUNTED MAINT0P.
Mystery That Was Deep and Thrilling Till it
Was Explained.

Sheffield (Eng.) Telegraph
Talking about ghosts, our chief mate once
told me that on board ship in which he
had served, the mate on duty ordered some
of the youths to reef the maintopsail. When
he first got up he heard strange voice say
ing, "It blows hard!" The lad waited for
no more; he was down in trice and told his
adventure. A second Immediately ascended,
laughing at the folly Of his companion, but
returned even more quickly, declaring he
was quite sure that a voice, not of this
world, had cried in his ear, "It blows hard!''
Another went, and another, but each came
back with the same tale.
At length the mate having sent up the
whole watch, ran up the shrouds himself,
and when he reached the haunted spot,
heard the dreadful words distinctly uttered
in his ear:
ut blows hard!"
"Ay, ay, old one; but, blow it ever so
hard, we must ease the earrings for all
that" replied the mate, undauntedly, and,
looking round, he saw fine parrot perched
on one Of the clews-the thoughtless author
of the false alarms-which had probably
escaped from some other vessel to take refuge
on this.
Another Of our officers mentioned that on
one of his voyages he remembered boy
having been sent to clear rope which had
got foul above the mizzentop. Presently,
however, he came back trembling, and al
most tumbling to the bottom, declaring that
he had seen "Old Davy" aft the crosstrees.
Moreover, that the evil one had huge head
and face, with prick-ears and eyes as bright
as fire. Two or three others were sent up in
succession, to all of whom the apparition
glared forth, and was identified by each to
be "Old Davy," sure enough.
The mate, in rage, at length mounted
himself, when resolutely, as in the former
case, searching for the bugbear, he soon
ascertained the innocent cause of so much
terror to be large horned owl, so lodged as
to be out of sight to those who ascended on
the other side of the vessel, but which,
when anyone approached the cross-trees,
popped up his portentous visage to see what
was coming. The mate brought him down
in triumph, and "Old Davy," the owl,
became a very peaceful shipmate among
the crew, who were no longer scared by his
horns and eyes, for sailors turn their back
on nothing when they know what it is.
Had the birds in these two instances de-
parted as they came, of course they would
have been deemed supernatural visitants to
the respective ships by all who had heard
the one and seen the other.

antly at his embryonic mustache. He was

The Worlds Exposition Of 1892.

New York, Washington and Chi
cago are all bidding for the great
"World's Fair" that is to be held in
the United States somewhere during
the summer of 1892, in commem-
Grafton of the discovery of America
by Christopher Columbus. All the
above named cities advance excel
lent reasons why each one is THE
place, in preference to any other.
But in our opinion Chicago advan-
ces the strongest reasons why that
city is the most suitable in which
to hold the great exposition, and
we hope for many reasons it will be
held there. If it is held in New
York how many of the thousands
OF foreign visitors will know any
thing of our great country except
what they can see of Long Island,

And if in Washington, they will,

SUNSET" cox DEAD.

The news of the death of Hon.
S. S. Cox, of New York. on the 10th
inst, has been telegraphed over the
country. He was sick but four
days. His disease at first was pro-
nounced malarial fever, which rap
idly developed into acute pneumo-
MIA. His end was peaceful, and he
died with his hard clasped by his
faithful wife, while his old friend
Douglass Taylor was close beside
him. He had been conscious until
fifteen minutes before he died, and
his last conversation was in regard
to the admission of the four terri
tories whose statehood he hoped to
father. He mentioned New Mexico
and Arizona and said something
about making a great effort in their
behalf at the coming session. Not
long before he became silent in
death he made some witty remark
which completely upset the digni-
fled gravity of his physician. DIR.
Lockwood says the cause of death
was peritonitis.
The sun has set upon one of the
most brilliant men of our times.
His loss will be felt both in and out
of Congress. A literary light has
gone out-a humorous soul has
taken its flight from earth, and
when the Fifty-frst Congress con-
venes there will be many a sorrowful
glance cast at the vacant desk,
where his familiar figure had So
often greeted the eyes Of his friends,
on the democratic side of the Rep
resentative Hall, and all with one
accord will regretfully exclaim,
Our genius and our wit is gone
from our midst.

essentials of an eligible location as
Chicago. Among the most impor-
tant requisites are plenty of fresh
air and pure water, and that Chicago
possesses in abundance. Lake
Michigan acts like a refrigerator in
summer, rendering the climate more
comfortable than that of any other
available city. The exceptional
railroad facilities would make the
exposition easily accessible to Wis
itors from all quarters. Thirty per
cent Of the railway mileage of the
United States enters Chicago direct.
The hotel accommodations are un-
surpassed by any other city in the
country. The people of our own
country, as we'll as foreigners, need
to be enlightened as to the extent
and resources OF our country, and
visiting the exposition at Chicago
would inform them more upon the
wonderful growth and achievements
of our country than could visit to
any eastern city. Their informa-
ton would not be confined to Chi
cago and it's environments, but
could not fail to extend to the great
Empire" west of the Rocky Noun
tains and the Pacific Coast. Every
patriotic journal of the west should
throw the weight Of its influence in
favor of having the great exposi-
ton of 1892 held in Chicago.
