The pefenss Of Judas.

Every man who is a general reader
las doubtless noticed how often, when
he has been reading Of "a certain sub
iect, he run across the same subject ia
an unexpected place, and an incident
of this kind brought TO my Afternoon
very curious fact, which was a revela-
ton to me. had just finished W. w.
Story's poem, 1.-The Letter OF Roman
LAWYER in Jerusalem, " in which story
presents the legal aspect OF the case Oh
Judas Iscariot, and suggested that IN
betraying the Saviour he was only at
tempting to give Jesus Christ an op..
portunity to declare and prove himself
God. and that he only accepted the
thirty pieces Of silver to give his act
the appearance of betrayal for
bride
| laid aside the pamphlet containing
the poem and picked up book, in
which found an article on the ancient
coins of the east, and one OF the first
things read was that the piece OF
silver of two thousand years ago was
the name of coin, and that its value
was thirteen cents. 1t did not require
much calculation then for me to see
that the price which was paid Judas
by the Sanhedrim for betraying Christ
was only So. 80.
Do you know this unexpected infor-
nation made Storys poem have a
strange effect upon me2 Story points
to the fact that Judas carried the pub
lie purse and could not have been ava
ricious, or else he would not have been
trusted with this fund for the poor, for
which he rendered no account to any
one, yet he betrayed his master for
800. | had always thought that
thirty pieces of silver" meant some
large amount, and the statement aston
ished me when read it, but referring
to work on numismatics | saw that
the 'piece of silver" of Jerusalem was
about the same value as the lore

teen cents, SO | suppose the statement
is true.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

sulphur for Fumigation.

1t appears that the prevailing meth
cd of disinfection by means of burning
sulphur is considered by some of the
leading psychologists as of less value
than it has heretofore been considered,
though DR., Edison strenuously main
tains the contrary. Dr. j. G. John
son, on the other hand, read a paper
before the Kings county Medical soci-
ETY. in which he stated that he had
proved the present system of fumiga-
ton as worthless for the destruction
of disease germs; that the fumes of
burning sulphur do not penetrate
woolens as disease germs do. He also
stated that he had propagated diph-
iberia from the clippings of blankets
after they had undergone a thorough
process of fumigation by burning sui
phur. DR., Prudden, of the New York
city board of health, appears to have
come to the same conclusion, and in
both New York and Brooklyn currents

"You are brave, my dear girl; Drawer
than I am, / fear. 1t is far harder for a
woman to let the man she loves go to
battle than it is for him to lead the for
lornest of forlorn hopes"
This very sentimental dialogue, oscu-
latorily punctuated, took place in the
drawing room of a conventional brown
stone front in Thirty-fourth street, New
York, rather late one evening ut the
close of April, 1861. The speakers were
Helen Morley, aged 90, and Darrell Sea
ton, aged %. She had an intelligent, in
teresting face without regular features,
gray eyes, light brown hair, a slight,
willowy figure of medium height. She
was the youngest of three daughters,
two of them married, her mother being
dead, and her father a prosperous dry
goods jobber, in whose residence these
love scenes were occurring, while he was
pa~ssionately discussing the prospects OF
the civil war with several of his fellow
merchants at the Union club.
Darrell Seaton, after having been
graduated at Columbia, had studied
medicine, and been practicing three
years under promising circumstances,
as his father was a physician also, and
had gained a prominent place, though
little money, in his profession. The
elder Seaton had six children-Darrell
the eldest-two sons and four daughters
and, having been opposed to slavery
all his life, had naturally reared his fam
ily to the same views. Darrell had be-
lieved, while at college, that armed con-
fict between the north and south could
not long be postponed, and had made up
his mind, when it should come, to take
some active part in it. A year before he
had met Helen Morley, between whom
and himself a close and sympathetic
friendship soon arose. They were too
good friends. they used to say, to fall IN
love with one another, and they firmly
believed what they said. Thus secure,
as they fancied, against any dangerous
attachment, they passed much time to-
gether, took long walks when occasion
favored, read the same books, and were
both passionately fond of music.
The elder Morley and Seaton had been
intimate from boyhood, having been born
and having spent their early years In the
same town in the interior of New York
state. Morley was very different from
Seaton. He had far less intellect, with
less literary and artistic taste, but
a far greater fondness for acquiring
money. In truth. he had often said
in youth that he intended to be
a rich man. and he had largely
fulfilled his intentions. being worth, at

In the winter of 1S64-5 he was ordered,
with his regiment and a considerable
Union force, to make another attempt to
get possession of a railway to the south
OF Petersburg. They started at dawn,
and had a sharp. engagement with .

an admirably managed battery, which
threw his regiment into confusion. A
number of the men had been killed and
several of the officers wounded. While

as they called it, very friendly enemies.
The succeeding weeks were fuAof events;
the cause Of the south was rapidly disan-

wrote to Helen what had occurred, but
