The influence of Christ.

Who, after the EvangeliSts, will vent
ure to write the life of Jesus? This
deprecatory question by Lessing has
not prevented, during the last three or
four decades, the composition of nu-
merous biographies of him whose ca
reer is depicted inimitably by the Four
Evangelists. Germany has been most
prolific of these works. France has
produced one excellent book of this
class, ''The Life of Jesus" by Pres
sense, and another famous writing, of a
critical and distinctive cast, the Vie de
Jesus of Mr.. Renan. Even Scotland,
where the abstract discussions of theol-
Ogy have still the strongest fascination,
has made it's contributions to this spe-
cies of Geographic writing. 1t is easy
to see how the minds of men are drawn
away from the problems of dogmatic
theology, such as predestinatiOn and
free will, and fastened on the wonder
full personality of the Founder. The
attention is drawn away from the cir
cumference to the center. 1t is remark
able that this vivid interest in the ques-
tion, what think We of Christ ?"-this
concentration of thought on the Person
who gives to Christianity it's being is
simultaneous with widespread tend
ency, rife in all the empirical schools,
to make little of personality and per-
sonal force, and to make everything of
general causes and impersonal forces as
determining the current of history.
The One-sided character of this last
tendency, in it's undertaking of the sig
nificance of persons, and of the mystic
riOus personal agency which is not to
be resolved into anything merely phys
ical or distinct from itself, is specially
manifest when the attempt is made to
explain the origin of the Christian re-
ligion. Here the great originating
cause is Person. Nothing in his en-
vironment suffices to explain him.
Nothing in his antecedents or circum-
stances accounts for the appearance,
transcendently gifted, and predeStined
to exert so transforming an influence
on human society.
Akin to the tendency which leads
men to dwell on the history of Jesus,
and to gather up all that can be ascer-
tanned respecting him, is the DISPOSE
tion to trace the stream of consequences
which have flowed from his life, teach
ing, and death. In the midst of critical
conjecture which is thrown over certain
portions of the Evangelical narratives,
and the doubts which affiict many
minds, it is relief to contemplate the
veriiable results of the work of Jesus
among men. Not a few derive their
profOundest impressions of his ineffa-
BILE power and excellence from close
survey of the history of Christendom.
The growth of the grain of mustard
seed, the spread of the leaven, have a
reality and impressiveness which the
most skeptical minds are capable of
recognizing. Let us cOnfine ourselves
to the various forms of philanthropy in
which the influence of Christ is directly

Prince Abbas has been proclaimed
Khediye Of Egypt with the full consent
of Turkey, and without any suggestion
as to regency; but as Great Britain
has virtually been regent of the coun-

considered as factor in the question.
England has evidently entered Egypt

In the convention of cotton growers
held at Memphis last week there was
serious and perhaps not altogether
fruitless discussion over diversity OF
crops. Cotton is the Southern staple.
1t requires little care, is instantly mar
ketable, and the plantation hands are
accustomed to no other crops. But
the glut of the cotton market has con-
WINGED the growers that they must
raise more corn, peas. hay, oats and
other necessaries of living and less
cotton if they would prosper. 1t is
proposed to reduce the average Of cot
ton fornex year by 20 per cent. This
would afford temporary relief but any
lasting measure of amelioration could
only come by radical reform in agri-
cultural methods throughout the
South.

One Of the most serious features Of
the grip this season has been the de-
lirium that has often followedit. Two
cases of this kind are reported from
New England, one Of Trinity College
student, who, in his delirium, leaped
from a window and was killed, and
another Of a young girl, who, sick with
the dread disease, wandered out in the
snow and was frozen to death. A
large number of suicides have been
traced directly to the disease. The
record of deaths from it is appalling,
and altogether it has proven almost
like scourge in this and other lands.
Let~us hopethat, before itreturns again
medicaIseience shall have discovered
a method Of dealing with it which will
at least decrease its terrible results.

THE CHINOOK WIND.

EvKRKTr, Dec. %, 1892
To THE EDITOR: I have read with pleasure
Gov. Semple's letter in the Posr- ISrELLIGESCE
about the chinook wind. There is only one i'm
preston respecting it which think 1t would be
well TO correct, and that is that it is wind Pc
cuiiar TO this part of the world. 1t is only
characteristic OF this region in its greater preva
lence and its more distinctly traceabie and wide
spread effects. ! might add that it also has q
peculiar name here, bat it is nothing more and
nothing less than the west wind OF the world
west wind that Virgil so often refers to, the
wind that Homer describes in the Odyssey as
blowing soft from the ocean upon those tabled
Islands where winter is not, nor any burning
summer heat It is also noticed by Longfelow
as descending upon the coast of Norway, and he
and other writers OF poetry and prose have often
noted it in descriptions of New England. was
familiar with it during my early life In the
Connecticut valley, and when frst felt it on
the Columbia I recognized it as an Old &C.
quaintance.
Whence it comes or whittier IL goes is to 8 GER
tain extent my sterious, but it b-iongs TO no one
this region, believe, than of any other. 1t is
many times more abundant and prevalent here
than on the Atlantic coast, or in the interior of
this country. Blu; think an not mistaken in
saying that We are favored beyond many other
parts only in having moro of it-in being blessed
by its more penetrating and widespread infu-
enoes. Sweeping in from the west in these lsii-
tudes it gives Eastern Washington and Montana
an earlier spring than Minnesota, and 1t 10 not
exhausted entirely in crossing the continent,
but touches the New England hills and valleys
TO unlock the rigors of winter still later there.

who from his big bag Of presents" pours
brides into the laps of his greedy children.
Sentiments have become merely matters
Of barter, bargain and sale, and the be-ail
and end-all Of every human aspiration
seems 20 be frantic determination TO
live with no other thought but that con-
tanned in lagos injunction, Put money

Shakspeare's wonderful sense of the
brilliantly displayed than when he put
this sordid philosophy in the mouth OF
the most awful, unredeemed and ire
deemabie villain in all literature. To this
cool, acute. conscienceless, remorseiess,
unrelenting, inhuman villain, who neither
fears nor respects man. God or devil IN his
intensely intellectual and absolutely i'm
moral hardihood the true ultimate of all
life, all human effort is ito put money in
thy purse" He jeers at love: he jeers at
women: he jeers at friendship; he jeers
at reputation. The one thing-the only
thing that Iago thinks life IS worth living
for is ito put money in thy purse" Verify
sharply; he knew that this philosophy
was impossible to be entertained and en-
acted by any man who expected to remain
honest, 30 he makes it the only honest,
sincere, enthusiastic word that this cold,
treacherous. subtle villain, Iago, utters.
This heariless devil is an absolute skeptic;
he does not believe in virtue, in the moral
government OF the universe, in the exist
ence of God or devil; he does not believe in
honor, honesty, humanity, fidelity, friend
ship, gratitude, mercy. He answers the
question, ''ls life worth living?" by saying
only ito put money in thy purse" This
and to be revenged is all that Iago lives
for. The philosophy of Iago is very
wretched and doleful substitute for the
Golden Rule of Christianity, and yet it is
not an extravagant statement to say that
the morals OF trade and business are COL
ored rather by the detestable philosophy
of the treacherous villain iago than by the
immortal ethics of Christ.

The Philadelphia Press has a very inter
esting compilation OF the popular vote,
which shows some remarkable and unex-
pected results. The Republican vote. the

remarkably small. Four years ago the

however. that by the fusions made be-
tween the Democrats and the People's
party in six or seven Western states the
Democratic vote was cas-: tor the Weaver
