JUDAS BLOOD MONEY.
The Claim of Canadian That He Has
One of the Thirty Pieces of Silver.

From the Collector.
Last year a New York drummer went
wandering about the land, carrying as
pocket piece what he claimed to be the
Oldest Jewish shekel in existence, and
getting no end of advertising by the
same. Now a person has turned up in
Canada who AYERS that he owns one of the
original thirty pieces of silver that Judas
received for betraying Christ A we'll
informed Hebrew of Kingston, Mr.. ST
mon O0erndorfer, writes very sensibly:
The thirty pieces were not distributed
among the Roman soldiers, as stated in
the history of Mr. Western Edwards
coin, obtainediby Judas as the reward of
his treachery. What became of them is
told in Matthew xvii. 81: Then Judas
again the thirty pieces of silver
to the chief priests and elders, saying, l
have sinned in that / have betrayed inno-
cent blood. And they said, What is that
to us2 See thou TO that. And he cast
down the pieces of silver in the temple
and departed, and went and hanged him
self. And the chief priests took thesilver
pieces, and said, 1t is not lawful for to
put them into the treasury, because it is
the price of blood And they took
counsel, and bought with them the
potter's field, to bury strangers in y
This gives the direct lie to the document
held by Mr.. Edwards, purporting to be a
certificate from the Royal Historical
Society of England, and shows that it
must be a clumsy forgery. Mr.. Obern-
dorffer has in his possession two coins,
one of which is similar to MIR. Edwards,
and the other still older The latter is
somewhat smaller than a Canadian
quarter dollar, with a thick and sharp
rim. On one side is the representation of
a building Solomon's temple
with the inscription "Yerusholaim ir
Hakedosha" Jerusalem, the holy
city,. On the other side is
simply an inscription in two straight par
abel lines; David Namelech ubno Solo
mon Namelech" David the king and his
son Solomon the king. A hole is punched
through this coin to the left of the temple
tower, and it is supposed to have been
worn at some period as a charm. It's date
is undoubtedly that of Solomon. Its ex-
cellent condition is probably due to its
early use as an amulet, and to the special
care taken of it by later owners. the
Oberndor'fers, since it came into their
hands more than two centuries ago, hay
ing kept it carefully wrapt in cotton. The
present owner, | may state. makes no
claim to its ever having formed part of
Judas blood money.

pairing documents for use in a speech he
will make later in the debate.
Senator Hill of New York did not seem
to hold out as well as some of the older
men. His eyes looked heavy, and he
walked about the chamber with a look of
disgust on his face-for he would stop all
such proceedings. He would do away
with the necessity for such trials of
strength by the adoption of closure
rule.
Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania, was
another man who would have brought the
proceedings to a sudden end if he had
been able to do so. He paced the floor of
the republican cloak-rOom hour after
hour, smoking all the time, and never
entering the chamber except to answer to
his name on a call of the senate. At in
tervals he would look through the door at
the scene in the chamber, as though he
would like to smash the rules of the SEN
ate with his celebrated mailed hand and
put an end to the deadlock.
TWO REMARKABLE MEMBERS.
The most remarkable feature Of the
night session was the wonderful endu-
rance as a speaker shown by Senator
Allen, of Nebraska All night long, hour
after hour, he kept on, his sentences flow
ing in an endless stream, every word
being clearly and distinctly enunciated.
There was nothing striking in the matter
of his speech and several senators had no
difficulty in exposing the fallacies of his
arguments. AS a talker against time he
was decided success, and when he final
ly yielded the floor at O'Clock this morn
ing he seemed able to 90 on indefinitely.
Senator Palmer of Illinois also showed
wonderful staying powers. He followed
every word of Senator Aliens speech and
interrupted him time after time with
questions, and engaged in arguments with
Senator Allen or any other senator who
would argue with him.
The spectators who crowded the gal
leries and thronged all the corridors of
the Senate end of the capitol early in the
evening held out well until midnight. at
which hour there were very few vacant
seats. BY i O'CLOCK the ladies' gallery
was beginning to thin out, but there were
still quite number of them present. BY
2 o'clock there were but eight At 3
O'Clock there were but three and at
O'Clock the same number remained but
five minutes later two of them left, and
one solitary lady, without an escort, re-
manned through the remainder of the
night, listening to every word on the floor
About $50 men remained through the
night, many of them nodding and doing
on the benches.

Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, who
sat during the first part of the night in a

sofa in the republican cloak-room, and

for the first call of the Senate after that
hour, and came into the chamber with

CHRISTMAS GREETINGS.

The LIGHT will keep Christmas
this year with all its employees,
and after this issue there will be
none until Tuesday next. This
Christmas season comes to all
those who have homes and COM
forts with peculiar suggestive
ness, for never before in all the
years that have crowned this fair
land of ours with good have the
needs of the poor been so pressing,
or the number of the destitute so
great. Perhaps in no city of its
size on this continent is there
less real suffering than here,
but none the less is it true
that there are scores in this city
who need the hand of the helper
and the gifts of the benevolent. 1t
is part of the price we pay for be-
ing human, that we must and do
feel for those who, less fortunate
than ourselves, are commended to
our charities and brought so near
our own doors that their relief is
naturally made our duty. The
LIGHT has on more than one Oc-
casion called attention to the efforts
now being made in this city
to organize systematic relief for
the needy, and has given every aid
and encouragement to that good
work.
Attention is now called to the
wants Of the little ones who, unless
some kind hand and loving tender
heart interpose, will be largely
without any reminder of this glad
Christmas season. There is al
ways a call for unusual benevo-
lence at this season, and there
should be a corresponding effort to
respond. Look out the poor fami-
lies on your own block, you kindly
ones with means who read this Law
sermon, and see that the little
ones in those homes of want
are reminded of the Christmas
evangel. Your own tireside will
be all the brighter because some
warmth and gIadness has gone out
from il to warm and cheer the
hearts and encourage the strug-
giles of your less fortunate neigh.
bors. Give ali of the San Antonio
echildren a taste of Christmas if nc
fmore. Let the glad evangel reach
with the ministry of "peace and
good will" all homes. Every pleas
ure conferred on others will be
added to the store of your own
and nothing is so full of satisfac
ton as the heart that has satisfied
the real needs of.another, making
of itself an almOner of the gooC
things that a kind providence has
poured into it's lap.
May all this glad Christina
time and this whole holiday sea
