Tophot and Gehenna.

Tho Hebron road passes near tho splen-
did piece of rock excavation which most
mon lovo to call tho Lower Pool Of Gihon,
and then gives ono u chance to look down
tho valley of tho Sons of Hinnom on the
loft. Tho first mastery of the latter view
produces sense Of collapse which is dis
tinctly painful. The bursting of bub-
bio, whether of conceit or of romance, is
always depressing. A time honored i'm
preston respecting Tophot and Gehonna
causes feeling of awe stricken horror on
hearing some Turk round out his criticism
of his wifes' defects by n loud mouthed
"Gehenneme gitl' eco to Gohenna").
The Same horror may DO felt on hearing
plain spoken American reject distasteful
proposal by saying, "I'll SEQ you in To
phet frst!'
Tho names Of Tophet and Gehenna, by
long association with tho general dump
Ing ground of tho worlds rubbish, have
become things too solemn to be lightly
used by any having pretensions to respect
for religion. But u view of tho place abol-
ishes every atom of awe for the name.
Honcoforth Gehonna is no moro than the
detostnbly dirty gorge, lined with broken
tombs, and foul with garbage, which
plunges down and down from tho foot of
Mount Zion toward En-rogcl. There is
pain in this fact. 1t seems like denial of
some fundamental theological doctrine.
But go to Tophet, and you likewise will
lose your llusions.-Independe

A Rare Coin.

City Detective John Halpin has in his
possession ono of the rarest British coins
known. 1t Is q little larger than an
American half dollar, and has ON tho OBJ
verso side an idealized head of George in
tho center, with tho words "Gcorgius Del
Gratia Rex" The reverse side has in tho
center the harp Of Ireland, surmounted by
a crown, and on the border is stamped
"Hibernia, -" The date is worn away,
as Is o part Of the lettering around the
head of George I. But this is undoubtedly
the coin that so aroused tho anger of
George I that the issue was never circu-
lated in England. Although 1t was on
its face an Irish coin, 1t was neither coined
nor circulated in that country, but, owing
to tho indignant protests Of Irish leaders,
accumulated by the sarcasm of Dean Swift,
1t was shipped over to Boston, where it
was circulated as the colonial halfpenny.
1t was called the Woods halfpenny" on
account Of its coinage by Londoner Of
that name.-Kansas City Journal.

THE BISHOPS BUSINESS.
a Case Where the Ingenious Citizens
Scheme Failed to Work.

There Is n citizen in this town who has
always experienced tho greatest difficulty
In lifting their proper names and identity
to acquaintanccS whose faces he knows per
fcctly we'll. So marked is this falling that
no has often been placed in exceedingly
Y '%kward situations, even with friends
" II he has known for several years
y &c time ago no hit upon what ho con-
Y .dorod n rather ingenious plan for finding
out tho namc of tho man to whom he was
talking. After ono or two safely common
place remarks upon the weather OF any
not too personal topic he would ask in al
apparently casual manner:
WELL how Is business with you now
pretty fairf'
1t almost invariably happened that his
unsuspecting companion would say some
thing in reply which would reveal the
nature Of his occupation. That was all
Mr.. A. wanted. AS soon as ho knew
this particular no know his man. Many
successful experiments with this method
soon gave him n fatal amount of conf
denco in its infallibility. Fearless of de-
lection, he put tho same inquiry unblush-
ingly on every occasion which found him
unable to identify an acquaintance. The
shock came, and now his faith is sadly
shaken by what he admits was conspic-
Dropping into seat in the cable car
one morning. he found himself beside
gentleman who greeted him Familiarity
and proceeded to make inquiries regard
ing his family, which showed him to BIO
comparatively intimate friend. Mr.. A.,
knowing his face, but entirely at u loss for
his name, merely awaited good oppor-
tunity.
"And how is business with you now
briskY"
His companion starod moment, then
laughed.

Americans to he Protected.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14-Secretary of
State Olney cabled Mr.. Munyon, United
States consular agent at Johannesburg, to
secure protection for all American citizens
there. Mr. Olney has also sent dispatch
TO ambassador Bayard requesting him to
secure the good offices Of British represent
ntiycs in South Africa for the same pur-
pose.
Mr.. Olney's dispatch to ambassador
Bayard Is considered significant, showing
that, despite the somewhat strained feel
ings caused by the Olncy note and the
presidents message on the Monroe doc
trine, the relations between Great Britain
and the United States arc cordial.
Secretary Olney has received a cable
gram saying that Colonial Secretary Cham.
berlain gave assurances that he had in
structed her majesty's high commission
er, Sir Hercules Robinson, TO extend the
same protection IN behalf Of John Hays
Hammond and any other American citi-
zen involved in charges Of rebellion In tho
Transvaal as would be taken In the inter
est of British subjects under like circum-
stances
