Albany, Ca, May 15.--Jailer Timer mar
rowly missed being murdered in the jail
in this city this morning, and the only
thing that saved him was the faithful
ness Of one of the prisoners, who gave the
plot away Jailer Timer had gone In to
give the prisoners their breakfast, when
he was called to the cell of an old negro,
who gave him the information that the
inmates of an adjoining cell had plotted
20 kill him when he opened their cell to
give them their breakfast. Investiga-
tion on the part Of the iailer con-
hrmed the information which he
had received. The weapon for his
destruction was TO have been a razor be-
longing TO one of the desperate prisoners
which the jailer had been allowing them
TO shave with at intervals. The plot
would no doubt have been successful had
not the old negro put the jailer on his
guard, as the official was totally unarmed
when he entered the corridor TO the cells.

The Birth Place of Jesus.
NAZARETH AS IT ISM THE NINETEENTH
CENTURY.

FROM an illustrated article by Will
son, the photographer, in the January
Century, entitled Round About Cali
lee. we quote Zone of the best views
Of the city is to be had from the cam
panile of the Church of the Annuncia-
ton. In the distance is the brow of
the hill to which Jesus was led by the
enraged multitude who attempted to
throw him from it. A modern house
i'll the foreground brings to mind the
time when they uncovered a roof and
let down the bed whereon the sick of
the palsy lay. This must be very
much the same kind of house as that
historical one at Capernaum. There
is the peculiar roof, and there are the
outside stairs leading to the roof The
eastern householder makes his roof
serve for more than protection from
the weather. 1t is the piazza, the quiet
place of the dweller, and sometimes it
becomes his Summer residence. AS a
rule it is not very heavy or very strong
Rafters are thrown across from wall to
wall, say yard apart; then the whole
space is covered with twigs such as we
saw the women selling in the market
place. On these the slender limbs of
trees are thrown and thickiy coated
with mortar. Lastly, thick spread
OF earth is thrown on, rolled to level,
and oftentimes sown with grass seed
Thus by care many of the roofs become
as smooth and soft as a machine mown
lawn. They may be easily broken up
and anything lowered inside from
above BY some such process the four
bearers of the poor palsied man man
aged to enlist the attention of the
Great Physician in behalf of their
friend. 1t is not hard to understand it
all when viewing such house as this
one at Nazareth. 1t would not be diff
cult for four men TO carry Il lame friend
in hammock by the outer stairway
up to the roof, and. breaking through,
let him down into the apartment or
court below. Not far from this same
house, il a narrow street, is little
chapel erected uponthe site of Joseph
carpenter shop. Over the altar is a
picture representing Mary and Joseph
instructing Jesus, and finding that he
knew more than they. Another paint
ing represents the lad Jesus assisting
his father at work It contains no &C
cessOries of the carpenters shop, but
there are enough of them in the shops
close by. The web saw, the glue pot,
the plane and the hammer are the
principal tools used in such shops, all
without the modern improvements
Yet whatever the Palestine carpenter
produces is from the fragrant cedars of
Lebanon or from the eccentrically
knotted and gnarled olive wood The
operation of bargaining and waiting
for any article of wood to come from a
Palestine carpenters shop is lengthy
one. Articles of wood are luxury
there, and when the carpenter receives
an order for one he usually employs
the next three days of his life in So

friends upon his wonderful good
fortune in receiving an order for some
thing made of wood"

Our Great Agricultural Rival.

The special correspondence of the
Herald from Valparaiso, Chill, pub
lished on the It'll inst, gives an inter
esting account of the great capabilities
of Argentina as an agricultural coun.
try. Our correspondent says
eff Argentine agriculturists desire to
extend their facilities for wheat-grow-
ing they can do SO to nearly the same
area, if not more, than in the United
States. Land that will serve for wheat
culture exists in nearly all of the mid
die and southern provinces of the re-
public. There are at least twenty
thousand leagues of land in the hands
of the general government suitable for
cereals, while the exact area owned by
private individuals is estimated to be
at least one hundred thousand
leagues"
Our correspondent states on October
9Th that, barring injury from drought
Or insects, the estimated surplus of
wheat from the crop now about to be
harvested in Argentina will be a mil
lion tons, and the cost of moving
Argentine wheat for export from the
farm to the shipping port is only one
half what American railroads charge.
Tine rapid strides Argentina has al
ready made and is making in capturing
foreign markets for the sale of her
cereals, meats. tallow, hides and wool
should warn all American farmers that
they cannot too soon get rid of the
burdens of Protection" falsely SO
called, which in many ways handicap
them IN their competition with our
South American neighbors. But our
own farmers must have cheaper rail
road transportation and greater ship
ping facilities for getting their prod
ucts into foreign kets.-NeaC York
