1t may be interesting to hear our Paris
correspondent a that the Duehesne
column. which took the capitol of the
Havas was entirely made up of fair men
belonging to the Foreign Legion and the
French army. The dark men melted away
in the ambulances. The fair men. who
were from colder climates. withstood fe-
yer and heat. The first Baron Larrey
noticed that Normans did better in
Spain b Provencals, and that Proven
Gals supported better the Russian cIi-
mate than the Normans.-London News.

The Herald resorts to a shameful
distortion of Comptroller Hough's inter-
view in .sThe News upon the proceeds
of the adjusted taxes. The HERALD" IN
sists that nobody knows what has be-
come of the money, not even Mr.. Hough,
and intimates that II. is time some one
did know. This is of course intended to
convey the impression that there is
something wrong about the use of the
money.
Now Mr.. Hough said positively that
every dollar of the money collected had
been applied in paying up the liabilities
of the city to which it was applicable
under the law. 1t seems to us that this
is knowing what has become of the
money in the most emphatic way. What
the Herald is torturing out of shape
is Mr.. Hough's explanation that owing
to the intricate nature of the accounts
and the infinitely subdiyided application
of the money collected, it is impossible
to make a comprehensive statement of
final results, which would be clear to
anyone but a professional accountant.
When all the money is in or all the
property sold, then a statement can be
made. of some value, and not sooner.
On the whole. the most asinine thing
we nave heard in a twelvemonth is that
some fellows have made away with
these enormous collections and that Mr..
Hough is trying to shield them. Jersey
City sensations at long range are funny,

MR.. van ON historic Christianity.


The Rev. Mr.. Vail took up several col
umns of the Evening Journal on Sat
urday in answering an inquiry made by
DIR. S%toddard as to the authorities upon
which his views of the cruciixion are
based. He displays remarkable erudi-
tion of a quaint kind. and orthodox per-
sons. on reading his letter. will be re-
minded of a well known text concern
ing much learning.
In fact. Mr.. Vail seems to make his
own position untenable. or, rather, in
comprehensive. In one breath he tells
us he believes in the historic facts of the
life and death of Christ. In the next,
he tries to show that the story of the
Gospels is Of the same stuff as the
Hesiodic myths. the mysteries of the
Book of the Dead and the immemorial
legends of the Hindus If the life of
Christ rests on historic evidence. how
can it be a sun myth? If 1t be a sun
myth. what does Mr.. Vail mean by tell
ing us he regards it as historic?
Mr.. Vail seems to get into trouble by
applying principles of criticism applicable
only to primitive periods and legendary
digpensations to a period of advanced
civilization n to undeniable historic
records. His attempt to explain the
records of Christianity on the same
basis as the fable of Prometheus might
find a parallel in an attempt to put the
war between Octavius and Anthony on
h same plane as the quarrel between
Agamemnon and Achilles, or to class the
voyage of Columbus with the wander
ings OF Ulysses.

1t is impossible for any one spot to

in the case of Japan. If Japan can I'M
