In the advocacy of his land loan bureau
Senator Stanford, in speaking in Senate
on Friday last, said: G. The principal of
the Government loaning money upon
property Is completely established in its
present advance of ninety per cent upon
Government bonds. The tremendous
results of energizing this ninety per cent
and putting it into activity are apparent
to all. Equally valuable will be the ener-
gizing of the latent forces of real estate
The bill confines its provisions for loans to
agricultural lands, but in time they will
probably be extended to some other kinds
of property and even to municipalities
with proper restrictions" The bill is on
level with the proposition to establish
store-nouses for surplus agricultural pro-
ducts and Issuing certificates to certain

A FUNNY incident connected with the
censorship of the press lately occurred
at Constantinople. A Greek benevolent
society in publishing its report, put on its
title page quotation from PauPs Epistle
TO the Galatians. Soon a police offic'
swooped down upon the Office where it
was printed, and demanded of the editor
information of who this Paul was who
was writing letters to Galata, a suburb OF
Constantinople, as he had orders to pro-
cure copies of these letters and bring
Paul himself to headquarters. In vain
the editor explained that Paul could not
be brought to headquarters, for he was
dead. The officer rctorted that his orders
were to bring Paul, and If he could not
bring Paul to bring the editor. His pro-
test that Paul had been in heaven eighteen
hundred years was of no avail the cdr
tor was taken to headquarters and thrown
into prison. Finally the Greek Patriarch
intertered, presented the bureau of CEN
sorshlp with a copy of Paul's letter, and
at last succeeded in convincing the astute
officials that the letter was not addressed
to the people of Galata, but to province

MANSFIELD, o., May 27.-A powerful
rain storm passed over this place Satur
day night, accompanied with lightning
aud thunder. Lightning struck the John
Charles block in Lucas, SIX miles east of

The block took fire from the stroke, and
was entirely consumed, together with two
dwellings adjoining. There is no fire

turned out with buckets, but could do
nothing toward eXtinguishing the fire,
When they saw this their efforts were

About twenty-five persons in all were
more or less injured. The seriously in.
iured are Joseph Hanna, bad cut on
forehead and limbs; f. Russel, severe
cut over left eye; John Gallagher, leg
severely bruised by falling from ladder;
F. Myers, badly hurt by flying bricks.
OF the remaining persons injured none
are considered seriously hurt. Physicians
were quickly summoned, who attended
the injured. The report of the explosion
was heard five miles distant, and the
shock was so great that nearly all the
windows in the village were broken.

JEWISH SPEECH IN THE TIME
OF CHRIST.

The following is from a review Of
"rhe Jews under Roman Rule, 4
recent book by Morrison, which ap-
pears in the columns Of the New
York Sun:
"What language was spoken by the
Jews in the tins OF Christi This pre-
hminary question is examined in a
chapter on the components OF the pop
ulAtion OF Palestine. or course il was
only in Judea proper that the Jews
were in a majority. In Samaria, in
Galilee, and in the country east Of the
Jordan, and in the coas; strip once
known as Philistia, the larger portion
Of the inhabitants were Syrians and
Greeks, and according - their nation
atty, spoke Aramaic or a corrupt
form Of the Hellenic tongue. But
what language was spoken by the
Jews themselves? The author repro
duces the unanimous conclusion Of
scholars when he says that, Except
among the learned, Hebrew had be-
come extinct As a living tongue. and
in the time OF Christ the language
in general use was Ar3paic.' 1t is
equally certain that Traders and
the higher classes understood Greek
also, and r vast number OF Greek
words have found their way into CON-
mon use. Greek names we're very
frequently employed for money,
weights and MEASURES. Il was the

In another chapter Mr.. Morrison
points out in what high respect Greek
was held even by the scribes, whose
duty il was to transmit for traditional
purposes an esoteric knowledge Of the
Hebrew tongue and to interpret the
original Hebrew texts TO the common
Ality. Thus we read on page 2s7:

AL these sayings go far to justifying
the deduction thas in the time Of
Christ Greek formed no unimporsant
part OF the education even OF a scribe.
