4 Remarkable Book.
BY REV. t. DE WITT TALMAGE, d. d.

This is said to be ayear of remarkable
books, but doubtless the most remark
able that will appear for some time to
come is Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage's new
work on the" Life of Christ y aud " Pal
estine and its People, Some idea of
what the book contains and how it was
prepared may be obtained by reading
the following extract from the Doctors
preface:
SIN my American home. on The Atlantic, on
Mediterranean, Oh eamels back, on mules
back, on horseback, under chandelier, by dim
candle in tent, on Lake Galilee, in convent, at
Bethel where Jacobs pillow was stuffed with
dreams, and the angels of the ladder landed /;
at the brook Elah, from which little David
picked up the ammunition of five smooth
stones, four more than were needed for crush
ing like an egg.shell the skull Of Goliath; in
Valley of Ajalon, over which, at Joshna's com
mand, Astronomy halted on the plain OF Es-
draelon, the battlefield Of ages. its long red
flowers suggestive of the blood dashed to the
bits Of the horses brides amid the shattered
masonry Of Jerico, in Jerusalem that overshad.
oWs all other cities in reminiscence, at Cana
where plain water became festal beverage, on
Calvary whose aslant and rnptured rocks still
show the effects of the earthquake at the aw.
full hemorrhage of the five wounds that pur.
chased the worlds rescue, and with my hand
mittened from the storm, or wet from the Jor.
dan, or barred to the sun, or gliding over smooth
table, this book has been written
This book will certainly be- worth
reading and preserving. II is not only
a life of Christ from an entirely new
standpoint, but it is also a very inter
esting history of q country and people
who occupy a prominent place in the
thoughts and feelings of all Christian
nations. The large number ofexcellent
pictures of places and scenery in the
Holy Land with which the volume is il
Illustrated, give it o special interest and
value. We cannot all 60 to Palestine,
but this elegant book, through the aid
of its pictures and DR.. Talmage's
wonderful descriptions accompanying
them, brings Palestine to n very doors.
The book is indeed a positive necessity
to a proper understanding of the Bible
accounts of places and events. We can
understand and appreciate Bible history
all the better when we see Photographic
representations of the places where this
history was made. " From MANGER
TO THRONE" marks a new era i'm the
literature of Bible Lands, and we are
not surprised to learn that the demand
for the book is phenomenal. IL is sold
on the exclusive territory basis, and per
sons desiring to secure agencies will
find the Publishers announcement in an
other column.

the tickets in their show windows, al

prohibit lotteries in toto. We youch
for the truth of the above statement

MORROW, La, Dee. =, 1880.
4 sad accident occurred about three miles
east of here at 10 o'clock yesterday forenoon.
Russell and Morgan Heath, two brothers, were
sitting in their room, Morgan, the Younger,
was writing in one end of the room, whilst
Russell was cleaning a double barrel shot gun
at the other end. The gun was accidentally
discharged, the conteDts-l6 buckshot-striE-
ing Morgan in the side, killing him almost in
stantly. The old story" didn't know it was
loaded"
Morgan was a noble specimen of manhood
about 90 years old, and 6 feet 8 inches IN
height. He was o generous, noble.hearted
fellow, beloved by all his acquaintance for his
urbanity and courteous demG..eI. His nm
timely and tragic demise throws a gloom uver

The latest comparison between the
armies of France and Germany places
the former ahead numerically while
the latter is preparing to close the gap
with the aid of the recent law. France
on a peace footing has 500, 54e men,
and the Law Of FIVE years service re-
Gently enacted permits her to add $780,
600 men to her territorial army. Other
reforms increase the contingent by co.
600 men, and this brings it up to go
600. By counting the twenty FIVE con-
tingents under the law, with their total
losses, which r estimated at one quar-
ter, the effective force for mobilization
amounts to 4,125,0 900. In Germany the
annual contingent is 1916 recruits,
5000 yearly volunteers and 17,450 re-
serves, giving q total for this contin.
gent Of I94,450. For the twenty four
confingents. and taking into account
the Losses, we arrive at a grand
total on a war footing of $780,
600 men. Consequently, France could
mobilize &C tho present time us, 900
trained soldiers more than Germany.

Baton Rouge Advocate: The Irish
party will hardly be able to retain Mr..
Parnell as its leader, in the face of the
opposition from Gladstone and the En-
glish liberals. The shock of Parnell's
offence has been too great, and he must
retire, just as Sir Charles Dixie did a
few years ago under precisely similar
circumstances. His proposed marriage
to Mrs. o'Shea will not mend matters ];
all the perfumes of the matrimonial al
tar will not sWeeten her character, nor
save him from political retirement. He
has forfeited his right to defend bis
country's cause for the wanton wiles of
wicked woman.
