THE CRIMINAL LAW OF MOSES.

TIE Mosaic constitution was, In
theory, n thcocracy, q visible repre-
-cntation on limited scale Of the reign
u Jehovah Oh earth. God was the
Sovereign King. He was also the law
glv.r and the highest authority on all
questions regarding tho state. To Him
peace and war were referred for de-
cision. The land was held by tenure
from Him. The tabernacle, and after
wards the temple, was His palace,
where the glory Of His presence was
manifested. lie ruled through His
appointed representatives. The Grim
inal Law Of this di-pensatlon, there.
fore, naturally dealt with ofcnses
against God aud Ills representatives In
the int place, and secondly with those
committed against fellow citizens.
The various oii.nsc- against God may
be arranged as follows;
wonhIping the sun, moon, stars
or amy other heather deity.
"Take yo therefore good heed unto
yourselves (ior 20 saw no manner of
similitudc ON tho day tina, thoI.ord spake
unto you la Horeb out Of tho midst 81
hro;) lost thou In up thine
eyes unto heaven, and when thou secat
the sun, aud the moon and tho starr, even
all tho hosts OF heaven, should be driven
10 Worship them aud serve thom." Deut.
Nv. 10, 10. "Thou shalt have no other
gods before me-" Deut. vi.
Idolatry, properly 30 called, IN for.
hidden In the following words:
"Thou shalt not make unto thee any
craven image, or any Likeness, OF any
thing that il In heaven above, or that Is
In tho earth beneath or that Is In the
water undor tho oarihi Thou shalt not
bow down myself to them, nor serve
thom.n Tx. xx.i,6.
II Is noteworthy that not only the
act serving" and Glowing down
10" images but oven the making Of
them for worship was crime.
Defeating groves 70 heather gods,
sacrificing TO them and eating such
sacrifices were also made criminal
acts. Aud for all these oiienscs the
penalty was death by stoning. Both
the offender and the one who had
cnticed 10 the act were to be put 10
death.
"If there be found among you, within
any OF thy gates which tho Lord God
gives thoe, man or woman, that has
wrought wlckcdness In tho sight OF the
Lord thy God, In transgressIng His
covenant, aud hath gone and served other
gods, aud worshiped them, either tho
SUI, or moon, or any Of tho host OF
heaven, which hayo not commanded,
then shalt thou bring
forth that man or that woman, which
have committed that wicked thing, unto
thy gates, even that man or that woman,
and thou shalt stone them with stones,
TIL they die" Dout, xvii; 20.
Relationship was not to be considered
In such case. The law was:
"Ii thy brother, tho sou VI thy mother,
or thy son, or thy daughter, or tho wife Of
thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thy
own soul, ontlco thee secretly, saying, Lot
us go and serve other gods, which thou
hast not known. thou. nor thy fathers.

DOWN IN A COAL MINE.
a Times Correspondent Depicts the Stu
alton Of Conl Valley.

Coal. VALLEY,-W. Va, Jan. 27.--[Spc-
cial Emerging from among the trees of
the Alleghanies you strike the Coal
Valley, situated in Fayetto county, w.
Va, and extending for many miles with
tho kanawha river on one side and the
c. 81 O.. r. r. on the other. Along this
route, and this particular valley, arc
some fifty Or moro coal mines, averaging
from 1870 to 300 men to tho mine, and
giving Tor thirty miles or moro one con-
tinuOuS town.
Comfortable houses, with three to six
rooms, dot the hillsides, and in them
1.-Two tho men, whose muscles dig and
bring to the surface q vast amount of
the coal that runs our furnaces and
makes cheerful the homes of so many
in our land. Anxious to probe as far as
possible into the condition OF these
miners, conversed with many and in
answer to many inquiries, found that a
good miner in these regions earns from
s. to 1925 per day and many of them
are in comfortable circumstances.
There has been no strike in this section
for many years. These families are
well dressed; they have many schools,
both private and public, and churches
0. al denominations.
Coal Valley proper has q population
OF about 2,o0o people, quite number OF
stores, two bottling establishments, and
one OF the best hotels in West Virginia.
Hotel montgomery is n large, new struc-
ture, handsomely fitted and furnished,
and is admirably kept by Mcssrs. j. c.
Montgomery and McNab5. Fully sevcn-
cights OF the houses in the town arc
owned by the Montgomery heirs, and it
is probably the only town in the South
where such 4 state of affairs exists.
Their houses are rented at fair rates,
mostly to mine operatives.
The Ircn Belt building and Loan As
ISOLATION has branch hero, and much
interest is manifested in the future of
Roanoke, with whom the people hope at
some future day to have direct railroad
c0mmIn,clti tin.
The digging of G we'll recently upon the
grounds of tho Hotel Montgomery has
brought to light mineral water, which
for medicinal properties bids fair to be
formidable rival of that at white
Sulphur" When first drawn it is per-
fcctly clear, but in very short time
it changes color, while on top an oily
substance gathers to the thickness
Of cream. 1t has cured several cases of
long standing stomach diseases. 1t is
very soothing to the nerves and a
small quantity, drank before going to
bed, will insure pleasant nights
rest to the most nervous person. Tho
owner, Mr.. j. c. Montgomery, is n
genial gentlemen, and will offer special
inducements to the afflicted who wish
TO try the water. X. Y. Y.
