a NEW GOSPEL.

The alleged finding of what is as
serted to be the earliest Gospel version
is a matter of the greatest interest to
the whole christian world. The dis
coyery is said to have been made at
the st. Katherine Convent on Mount
Sinai, by Mrs. S. S. Lewis, an accom-.
plished Greek, Hebrew and Syriac
scholar, widow of clergyman who
for many years was a Cambridge. Uni
versity librarian. The text is in
Syriac, which it is claimed was the
language used by Christ in teaching.
This version, it is said, was used by
Matthew, Luke and Mark as the basis
of their work.
The manuscript is palimpsest. 1t
has been partially effaced, aud on the
vellum over the Gospel in A. d. us
had been written a series of lives of the
saints. Since its discovery, Mrs.
Lewis and PIofs. Harris, Bensley and
Birket have spent 40 days and nights
in deciphering the half .obliterated
writing. Their work is not yet fin
ished' 1t is given out, however,
that the last u verses of st. Marks
Gospel, the authenticity of which has
long been contested, are absent in
this version. They refer to the APP
pearance of Christ after the resurrec-
tiOn to Mary Magdalene and afterward
to two others and to the eleven at
meal, and contain the injunction that
che that believeth and is baptized
shall be saved, but he that believeth
not shall be damned" The text oi
the whole work will be awaited with
much interest, as well as the proofs OF
its authenticity, the establishment OF
which will be herculean task.

- IN the execution of Almy, the muir
derer Of Christie Warden, at Concord, !,
n. H., Tuesday, therelis nothing to be
regretted, except by those who are in
fiexibly opposed to capital punish
ment The fellow was guilty OF one
of the foulest and most brutal crimes
on record. There were some seeming
Irregularities in his trial and sentence,
but all these were rectified by the
court before he was put to death. II
the jnfliction of the death penalty is
ever defensible, it clearly is in the
case of man like Almy, whose conduct
has disclosed not a single redeeming
trait. The world is well rid of such 8
man.

gested were in the main minor, and it was

WILIIAMsPoRT, May 18. The heavy
rains Of the past twenty-four hours have
done serious damage on the line of the
Philadelphia and rie railroad between
Cory and Erie. In a number of places the
tracks are under water and several bridges,
as well as the roadbed, have been badly
washed by the floods.
In some cases temporary trestles will
have to be erected to support the tracks
and it is probable that no trains will be
run between Cory and Erie for several
days. 1t is still raining here.

seamen or landsmen.
On Sept. 81, 1889, the steamship Bay
of Naples was lying at anchor near Bed
loe's island with acargo of 81, $50 cases of
kerosene. The tug John Sylvester, pass
ing by, saw smoke pouring out of her
hatchway. Upon investigation it was
found that she was afire. The master of
the Bay of Naples requested the tugs
assistance in fighting the flames. The
tug signaled to half dozen other tugs
in sight, and all went to work with a
will to fight the flames, which had
reached small portion of the infamma-
bic cargo.
They succeeded in putting the fire out
after 185 cases of the kerosene had
burned. The tugs received $4,000 sal
wage, although their actual work did

A Pigeon with n Memory.

1t seems really impossible to extinguish
the homing instinct in a good pigeon. A
wonderful story is told by pigeon fan
cying journal of a French carrier pigeon
which was captured by the German sol
diers during the siege of Paris in 1870.
The bird was being carried in a balloon
from Paris TO some point in the country,
whence it was expected to return to
Paris with a message. 1t was taken tc
the German headquarters and presented
to the commander, Prince Frederick
Charles, who sent it to his mother il
Germany.
Here it was placed in a splendid and
roomy aviary, and carefully fed and
nourished; but although it was kept
here, living in the lap of royal luxury
for four years, the French pigeon did
not forget its fatherland.
At the end of that time the door OF
the aviary was left open one day. The
pigeon flew out, mounted high in the air,
few about for a moment, as if to find
the points of the compass, and took
flight in a straight line for Paris.
On the next day but one it beat its
wings against the entrance to its old
loft in the Boulevard de Clichy. There
it was recognized, and its case being
brought to public attention it was hon
ored as a patriot returned from foreign
captivity. 1t remained at the Paris
Jardin discrimination until it died in
1879
