which they aroused In Ulster ITSELF
The almost insane bitterness OF the Tory
hatred OF Gladstone II well illustrated By q
heartless editorial paragraph In the Eoe,ino
Neos yesterday calling attention to the fact
that Bismarck was FRUSTRATED By . cold caught
while Witnessing q torohlieht procession in
his honor. Tho editor remarke. with cold
blooded cruelty: There are great possible
tiles in a torchlieht procession as q device for
from the political stage. and we cannot see
any reason why Germany should enjoy o
monopoly Of It."
The discovery OF the so-called gospel OF
Peter 10 arousing even greater interest In the
oloeicR1 circles than the finding OF the ancient
COPY Of the gospels at Mount Sinai. The
manuscript was found by Bourian. the we'll
known srchmologist. in the tomb OF q monk In
Egypt. The date Is placed late In the FIRST
century. Ths recital OF the passion. death.
and resurrection OF Christ. though differing in
certain details from that OF the canonical
books. approaches that Of the Evangelist
Mark. According to the best Catholic and
Protestant ~exeRetioal scholars in Paris. the
gospsl Is copied from q Greek manuscript.
The document ls not apocryphal. for It IL
quoted by the Christian apologist and martyr
justin. At the cruciExion. according to this
version. only the hands werN nailed. Joseph
OF Arimathea was the influential friend Of
Plate. who prevailed upon the Roman project
to obtain Herod's consent to the delivery Of
the body Of Jesus. Soldiers and elders wit
messed the resurrection. The latter were
afraid OF being stoned BY the Jews They
therefore sent . deputation to PLATE asking
him to forbid the soldiers to divulee the
miracle.
The absence OF Queen Victoria In Florence
has spared her the pain Of reading In the Lon
don newspapers the ungrateful declaration Of

people had to work harder. His wages were
ten shillings aweek and lodgings found. which

"Ah." said tho magistrate trying the case.

Tho defendant sturdily replied. to the
Amusement Of the Court. that there wasn't
much honor to DO got out Of ten shillinRs q
week.
It would seem from this case that the Queen
pays her farm laborers and workmen Rener-
ally on her private estate from two to four
shillings q week less than average wages in
the district, which is not at all surprising to
those who know her frugal. not to say par
simonious mind. She would not In any case

Meanwhile the Parliamentary Commission
