The is No Personal Devil.

Chicago, Sept. 23rd.-Rev.
Fl. H. Barbour, Pastorofthe
Belden Avenue Baptist
Church, created a sensation
in the Baptist minister's
meeting by reading q paper
ut this mornings session,
in which he denied the exist
ence of a personal devil, and
treated the passages from
Scripture speaking of such
IL rersonage as figurative and
not literal.
Perhaps the most aston
ishing part of his paper was
that which treated of the
temptation of Christ in the
Wilderness, in which he said:
Jesus was not actually led
down into the wilderness i'm
mediatly after his baptism,
for he, was already there ::
He cid not maintain an alb
solute feast, for if SO he must
ha We been miraculously' sus-
tainpd in which case he
would have been free from
hunger and from the suffer-
ing which made the temta-
tiOn to turn stones into
bread. The wilderness was
not " barren waste, but mere
i IL woody and mountainous
part of Judea, with vineyards
olive groves, and many fruit
Trees abounding in it.
"Christ was not literally
taken to the Holy City and
set upon a pinnacle OF the
temple. Had the devil taken
him through the air he would
, have wrought a miracle, and
only God can do that. hat
the devil attempted to walk
with Christ to the temple; {,
journey of twenty or thirty
miles, during which the fast
could readily have been end
e.l-and then to it's pinnacle
he would have been frustrat,
ed, for by law no foreigner
could pass the first enclosure
or court of the temple under
pain of death; the Jewish pei
: pie could not pass the seconC
!, and the priests alone coult
enter the third in which tn,
! temple was. And though
the devil a monk or prizes
would be for the occasion
Christ wonlI not falsely hav'
assumed the character"
Mr.. Barbour's paper wa
i followed by a storm of unfa
= vorable comment and will b

. next Mondays meeting.

A DAMNABLE CRIME.

Our community was start
led last Saturday morning
by the news of the arrest and
Imprisonment of Prof. Il. +.
Shuford, a young married
man who had been teaching
school at Carson's chapel,
charged with raping the
daughter OF the gentlemen
with whom he was boarding.
The. evidence as best we
can gather it is as follows:
AS the girl and her little
brother were going to school
they came upon Shuiord who
it seems, was waiting for
them, when they came up he
remembered haying left a
book on the fence about a
half mile back, so he hired
the boy to go back after it
While the boy was gone after
the book, Shuford, at the
point of a pistol. with the
threat OF death If she didn't
comply with his request, vi
olated the sansity of her per-
son. After he had commit
ted the damnable deed he
told her that if she ever told
lit he would kill her. She told
her mother of it thatevening
and through fear Of blood
shed the mother did not re-
veal it to her husband until
Shuford had left the neigh
borhood. Thessgirl's father
came to town Saturday and
swore out a warrant for his
arrest on the above charge.
He was arrested and placed
in jail, but was released that
same evening on signing an
agreement to leave the coun-
ty, and never under any pre-
text, to enter it again.
Right here we would like to
know by what authority hi
was released. The officials
. had no right to release him
} We have laws and if they are

Saratoga Pastimes.
GAMBLING A FAvORITE VICE

A special to the N. Y. Sun from Sarato-
ga says: If Saratoga is famous for any
thing more than for its mineral waters, 1t
is for the municipal and popular protec--
ton which it gives to gambling houses and
gambling. OF gambling houses, beside
the clubhouse maintained in connection
with the race track, there are about twenty
other places where gambling in all it's pop
ular forms is publicly carried on. This
season, as nearly every season, effort IS
being made to illuminate public sentiment
against it, but with no hope of success.
The business opinion of the place favors
the illegal vice, the religious sentiment is
SILENT and SO the weak warfare
against gambling is by few citizens,
who, however forcefully their opinions
may be anonymously expressed in print,
seem to be wholly lacking in the courage
of their convictions. OF the two daily
papers, one tacitly sustains gambling
because the other opposes it. 1t is there
fore q we'll understood and we'll adver-
tised fact to all the world that gambling
may be carried on in Saratoga with perfect
impunity and immunity, too, for that mat
ter for, as the facts show, it has the pro-
lection of the trustees, the courts, the
police and of public sentiment No won
der then that the gamblers abound IN the
streets. and at the fashionable hotels nave
the choicest accommodations and proml-
nent places at the public tables, and the
more numerous they are, the greater force
is given to the public sentiment, which
fayors them on account of the money they
spend for their personal support.

Japanese Oranges.

Being somewhat of uitgrower in
this part of our county, though with but
modest pretensions as horticulturist,
last year l made hopeful attempt at
orange growing at Tres Pinor. The vari-
ETY. in which l ventured was the Oorshui
or Satsuma, hardy Japanese tree. Fifty
trees were received from Japan, number
of which planted at my place, tie bal
ance being distributed among different
parties in the county.
As a result of this test, was delighted
to find that these trees, though quite
small and clearly exposed and absolutely
unsheltered, withstood all of of our winter
frosts and freezing (Which for several
mornings presented ice one half inch
thick in 1apen gardens, with leaves As
crisp and &axy as those reve'ing in the
'land of flowers" or enjoying the cline of
the "City of Angels"
Besides the hardness which this variety
has evinced here, and which is now
acknowledged, some of the trees devel-
oped quite humber of blossoms during
the summer following their planting.
thus showing, as is claimed for tnem, that
they will produce in two or three years,
or as soon as sufficiently vigorous to
mature fruit.
These two facts, learned from expert
ence, together with the best authority for
the excellence of the fruit, have induced
me to start an orchard of them this year.
Many of my neighbors and others have
also planted numbers in their gardens.
In all there are about 200 trees, to my
knowledge, distributed throughout the
county.
Prof C. C. Crorgesion says of it: at
is, perhaps, the finest orange in existence

Temperance Among Trainmen.

The National Temperance Advocate
points out that the railways of the United
States now constitute one of the most eff
fective temperance organizations in ezis-
tence. Practically they encourage, and
most of the companies require abstinence
from Intoxicating liquors on the part of
their 600,0f0 employees. gre at and graf
flying change in sentiment as we'll as in
practice on this subject, has taken place
among railway officers and men within
few years 1t is comparatively short
time since to be railway man was almost
equivalent to being drinking man, and
the officer aud empioye who refused to
drink was hardly considered adapted for
his profession. All this is happily changed.
Railway managers have learned, by costly
experience, the desirability of abstinence
on the part of the men in their employ.
Through the criminal incapacity of drink
ing and drunken engineers and switchmen,
many hundreds of thousands of dollars
have been lost, and many lives wantonly
sacrificed Total abstinence should be re-
quired of all who serve the travelling pub,
lie on land or sea.
