The Gospel Of IS. Peter.

Great interest in the religious world
attaches to tho publication in Paris Of 3
translation OF the recently discovered
manuscript Of the Apocrypha Gospel Of
Peter, says q London cable to tho New
York Sun. It is document Of the early
half of the second century, and the copy
discovered in an Egyptian tomb is judged
to have been made in the eighth century.
This new account of the resurrection is
given: "There WAS a great voice from
heaYen, and the soldiers saw the heavens
open and two men descending thence
with great light and approaching the
tomb, and tho stone which was put at the
door rolled away OF itself, and departed
on ono side, and the tomb was opened
and both the young mon entered 1t.
When, therefore, the soldiers saw it they
awakened the centurion and elders, for
they, too, were hard by keeping watch,
and as they declared what things they
from the tomb three men, and the two
supporting the one, and cross following
them. And Of the two the heads reached
unto the heavens, but the head Of him
that was led overpassed the heavens, and
they heard voice from tho heavens say
ing, Hast thou preached to them that
slsep?' and an answer WAS heard from
the cross, YEA" There was also found
copy Of the lost Apocalypse Of Peter.
This il most valuable discovery, for, ~
tho translator indicates, it furnishes the
origin OF tho most Of the early Christian
ideas Of hell. Much Of the latter litera-
ture on the subject i. tracsable to this
now restored document. A single quota
ton shows It's nature: "And saw also
another place over against that other, and
it was place Of chastisement, and those
that we're being chastised and the angels
that were chastising had their raiment
dark according to the atmosphere Of that
place, and there were some there hanging
by their tongues, and these were they
that blaspheuled the way Of righteous
ness. Aud I saw the murderers and
them that had conspired with them cast
into certain narrow place, full OF evil
reptiles, aud being smitten by those
beasts and wallow0d there thus in that
torment, and there were set upon them,
az 1t we're, clouds Of darkness, and tho
souls Of them that had been murdered
were standing aud looking upon the pun
ishment of those murderers and saying !:

In the same strains the punishments Of
adultorers, prosecutors, blasphemers,

EoYcl Plot for Murder.

RICHMOND, VA. Dec. 11--A novel
method wns adopted to commit double
murder in Henrico county. The crime
involves the story Of divorced man In
love with the wife OF another, his love
reciprocated and the husband and his
best friend in the way OF the full and
complete enjoyment Of tho mutual at
tachment.
Seven miles west Of Richmond, on the
james river, there have lived in the same
house for few years three farmers
ramed Philip L. Nicholas, James Mills
Judson Wilkinson. For some time the
relations Of Nicholas, who was divorced
from his wife, and Mrs. Mills were undu-
ly intimate. Mills appeared to think worry
highly OF Nicholas.
Last Thursday when he and wilkinson
wero invited by Nicholas to 90 across the
river to cut bee tree which he said he
had discovered. Mills gladly accepted the
invitation as did also Wilkinson. Not
very long after the party loft Nicholas
returned with his clothes Uoaklng vet
aud announced to Mrs. Mills and Will
kinson's mother, the only other occupants
of the building, that the boat had cap
sized and ali bad fallen into tie
water. He said he was the only one who
could swim and his companions were
drowned.
Mrs. Mills accepted the story as true,
but not 10 hrs. Wilkinson. Eeighbors
and officers OF the law began to investi-
gate, and this morning the man VIVA ar
rested on the charge Of double murder
The boat was found in the river, aud when
1t was taken out OF the water two fresh
ly bored sugar holes were found in the
bottom.
A short distance down the stream two
cornsobs trim med 40 W to exactly tit the
holes in the bottom OF the boat were
found. In Nicholas room an auger thai
filled the bored spaces Was discovered.
The theory is that Nicholas, being
aware that neither Of the men could
swim, determined to dispos. Of them by
drowning and prepared the boat 80 as tc
sink 1t in mid stream, knowing that he
could easily save himself. 1t is sup
posed that be thought wilkinson know
too much Of his intimacy with Mrs
Milla, and therefore decided that two
persons who could not swim could be az
easily drowned rs one.

The Railroad Bill which has become a
law at this session Of tho General Assem-
bly, assumes extraordinary powers over
the railroads, and puts this power into
the hands Of threo Commissioners, who
may or may not be competent business
men. Besides regulating passenger and
freight rates, fixing schedules and exer-
cising general supervision Of the roads,
the decisions Of the Com omission nre made
final, for it IL provided by the Act that
thare nhall be no appeal from its judg-
meats. The Act makes long step to-
wards Capitalization Of power, and is
harmful to the business interests Of the
State and dangerous in its tendencies. 1t
appears to be step towards absolute
control or ownership OF this property.
Whether the Act can stand before the
Courts is yet to be seen.

Sound Advice.

The New Orleans Times Democrat gives
= whole volume Of sound advice in the
following editorial on cotton production
The price Of cotton to-day makes II
remunerative, aud this improvement hal
made itself generally felt in all its lines
of business. Let US hope that it will not
have the effect that some Of the Southern
papers anticipate Of bringing about an
excessive acreage next season, another
big crop and subsequent low and unpro-
fitable prices. The fear is expressed that
the Southern farmer, having done wei!
with his cotton this year, may be tempted
to increase tho acreage next season, hop
ing to do still better, not taking into con-
sideration the fact that all his neighbor.
may do likewise.
The fact that cotton was being over
produced has been recognized for some
time past. The press preached long SER
mons on the subject, but it was only
whom the farmers began to feel the evil
effects Of this "all-cotton" policy, when
all the profits of cultivation disappeared,
that they reduced their acreage in the
stable. It has benefited them in two
ways; first. it has enabled them to greatly
increase their other and particularly their
food crops, saving Themselves considera'
Bile outlay for the latter and bringing in
much better returns and secondly, the
cotton crop cost less to produce, but at
the same time will bring nearly the same
amount ~ previous excessive crops have
done.
This experience ought to convince them
Of what il the best policy TO pursue. II
will be great mistake to return to the
"all-cotton'' system, even II the staple
remains at the same price, which it, oi
course, will not do il tho acreage and CROP
are greater. That System will insure 9
return to the depression which has pre-
vailed in the agricultural circles OF the
South for the past few years.
The farmers will be putting in their
crops in fe~ months. Let US hope thai
when this is done we will hear that they
fully understand tho situation, have pro.
fted by their past e1 perienco and Intend
to diversity their crops, keep the cotton
acreage down, and thus secure better
returns, both for that and all other pro-
duets.
1t would be well for the National and
State departments Of agriculture to use
their influences to convince the farmers
Of the wisdom OF tho policy indicated in
these wire words.
A general return to the "all-cotton'
theory would be disaster to tho South
Let us hope that it may be averted by the
common sense Of QUE farmers.
It seems to us that tho light Of expert
ense is clear enough to guide them along
the safe path.

COLUMBIA, 8. c., Dec. l9.-Tne railroad
situation in this State is becoming seri-
GUS. The passage by the Legislature OF

turns over the control of the railroads to

eleven thousand employees, about ten
thousand of whom voted for Governor
Tillman and the present administration,

ing the Governor signed the bill after .

they had been appointed to request him
TO postpone signing the bill until they
could have time to properly present thoir
objections. Governor Till;nan replied:
1.-THE bill has already been Aligned, and
is now law. The opposition OF eight or
ten thousand railroad employees does
not amount to damn compared with
the fifty or sixty thousand farmers de-
manding the passage OF this BILL
The com mittee stated that they did not
come from the officials OF the railroads,
but as employee. whose bread depended
upon their daily labors. His reply was
"If thought you came from Bunch

Richmond & Danvillo division in thi.
