The BIBLE.
As Described In q Bit From Rev. DR.. :,
Lyman Abbotts Lecture.

As Described In q Bit From Rev. DR..
Lyman Abbott's Lecture.
Mr.. Abbott said he held the record
of the Bible to be a gradual revelation
of God or taking. of the veil from
mems eyes and hearts. There were
different degrees Of spiritual authority
and spiritual truth in the different
books of the Bible. This was not q
new truth, but an old one. The trend
and tendency of thought and scholar
ship in the last half century was in
favor of the theory of gradual and
progressive conception and revelation.
The Book of the Covenant, these
scholars agree, was the oldest book of
the Bible. They believed that the
history in it was written long subse-
ouent to Moses. Leviticus, they de-
clared, was written long after Moses.
The Books of Kings and Chronicles
were history and belles-lettres, so
much so, that we did't know what was
history and what was belles-lettres.
The Hebrew psalter was very little of
it composed by David, Solomon's song
was written after the exile, and not
written by Solomon, either, but was
the beautiful song of pure woman's
love. Isaiah was a later book, writ
ten 100 years after. The Book of
Jonah was book of moral instruc-
ton, through fiction, and the Book
of Daniel conveyed a high moral pur-
pose, through a high, holy fiction.
These were not new views, said the
doctor. He was not to be credited
with saying anything new in these lee
lures. Archdeacon Farrar said that
students and scholars in England ac-
cepted the conclusions, in theology, of
the Germans. These views were not
inconsistent With the doctrine of inspi-
ration. Why should it be thought
more extraordinary that God should
inspire a poet than a historian? If
he could inspire Hebrew Macaulay,
why not inspire Hebrew Bunyon or
Dickens? But God did't enter only
one door. He entered many doors in
revealing himself to us.-Brooklyn
Citizen.

piece, and compelled him to eat a
mouthful of the bird. This satisfied
the owner of the bird, who walked
away, but before he had gone great
distance he was overhauled by the
soldier who had loaded up again, and
compelled him to return and eat .
mouthful or two of the crow. The
owner the next day complained at the
post. The commander sent for the
soldier complained of and asked him,
"Do you know this gentleman ?" The
soldier drawled out: "Ya-as; we
dined together yesterday" In every
day conversation, "to eat crow" is un-
derstood to mean that an individual
takes back all he previously said in
regard to a. certain matter.

Ircfused to accept penny of 1t.
more especially magnificent diamond
necklace, was in the safe that night.
The cold blooded villain went still far
ther. He declared that she had left a
gas jet lighted for his convenience, and
that she had suggested chloroforming
Lady Dudley to give him full swing.
he even declared that che commanded
him to kill the woman when she arose
from her he'd and discovered them.
Those who heard Ben Johnson's testi-
mony said that he looked the judge
straight in the eye and never hesitated
or blundered. When he was through,
nine-tenths of the people in the court
room regarded her as the more guilty of
the two. Then came the defense and
the reaction. Lord Dudley himself tes-
titled to her long and loyal services. He
said the key of the safe happened to be
in his own pocket that night and for
three days and nights previously, as he
had taken the necklace to a jeweler for
repairs and was waiting for its return.
There was no money in the safe, and
riideed but little jewelry. There was no
pas in the room, as her ladyship objected
to it. There were marks on the sash to
proye that the catch had been sprung
from tho outside There was no chloro-
form about the house, nor could Mary
have got any at the drug store without
an order The servants at once denied
what they had said regarding Mary, and
she was promptly discharged from Gus
tody. The police evinced their disap-
pointment aud chsgrin at the outcome
of the case, but were probably solaced
by the fact that had no lord to testify
| in my behalf.
You have guessed my line Of defense,
and you know that I had half dozen
witnesses. 1t shouldn't have been q sur
prise to the police, but it certainly was.
This was due to the bold faced lying OF
the villain johnson. The story he told
when put into the witness box against
me made me pinch my legs to see if
4ss awake or dreaming, and his man
ner of telling it almost satisfied me that
was an accessory. Such calm, cold
nerve was never seen before. He began
bv stating that he had met me in Liver,
pool a fortnight before and told me OF
the "iob" aud that I had readily agreed
to ioin him. He claimed that had
been in Dudley three days; that ne was
the one who entered the castle while !

making our escape by boat l charged

HEAVEN AND HE'LL.

Something About the Possible Location Of
These Places.
st. Louis Republic.
He'll and heaven beliefs had their or
igin about the. year $50 B. C., and
since that time there have been thou
sands of attempts to locate these
places, the one of future punishment
and the other of everlasting happi-
ness. The old medieval idea of he'll
is the one which gives us to under.
stand that the devil and his imps have
their furnaces and their caldrons and
other articles of internal utility con-
stantly working somewhere within the
bowels of the earth. On the other
hand, we are told and believe that
heaven is an abode of light, beauty
and Joy located far above the earth.
One writer believes that heaven will
be on planet which will be prepared
for the saints on the last day, and an
other believes that this earth burned
over and purified by FIRE will be the
final resting place ofthose who escape
the horrors of perpetual punishment in
the hell that has been prepared. "for
those who love SIM" DR.. Winston,
the friend of Sir Isaac Newton and the
first of the great race of Speculative
astronomers" believes that hell is To-
Gated on comet. But the most curl
ous theory we have ever investigated
was that advanced by DR.. Mortimer,
author of "The Spirit of God as Fire"
One of the several substitles of this
remarkable book was one which gave
the reader to understand that the au-
thor believed that heaven is located
on the inner globe of the sun. This
subtitle was "The Globe Within the
Sun Our Heaven" According to Nor
timers theory, our sun is surrounded
by an envelope or philosophers of
fame 100000 miles itself. Taken all
together, this idea of the photosphers is
8 vast nonluminous void. Further on
is the great globe of the sun itself.
Taken all together, this idea ofthe sun
may be aptly compared to peach or
q plum. The envelope OF flame oc-
cupies the place of the skin, the "yast
luminous void ~thg pface-of the meat
of the fruit and the central globe (true
sun) the place Of the seed. On this
great +aery envele
ope, DR.. Mortimer believed heaven to
be situated. The photosphere or en-
velope of fire he took be. hell or the
place fntnre punishmcnf=f5s
wicked. The Hn0niumfnuus void"
according to the Mortimer, is, the
"great gulf between" which is men
toned quite frequently In the Scrip

However, after the shock of the affair
had worn off bit the girl made a rally
and showed her spirit Feeling herself
to be perfectly innocent gave her great
strength. have always believed that it
was Lord Dudley himself who engaged
a lawyer to defend her and hunted out
the points in her favor, and it was
something greatly to his credit. Ben
johnson was furious with the girl be-
cause she had baf1ed him and furious
with me because i had brought about
his capture. He was not an educated
man, but he was gifted with powerful
assurance and natural cunning, and he
completely deceived his lawyer and the
police and general public. He admitted
threatening Lady Dudley with the knife.
While the menace had caused her death,
no doubt, it wouldn't be hanging
offense. He might be transported for
life, but his lawyer hoped to get him
off with Is or 20 years. His accessories
might escape with shorter period.

wonderful what 3 story the villain
johnson reeled of to the bench. Having
confessed his crime, he was held, as
matter Of course, and he was also used
as witness against the two of US. The
girl was arraigned first. johnson swore
that she proposed the robbery more than
year before it took place, and that for
months she had ridiculed him because
his conscience cried out against commit
ting such a crime. Loving her as he
did, he had finally been won over. She
had selected the asylum to which they
should flee, and he named Quebec as the
port they were to sail for. She had per-
sisted in sitting up with Lady Dudley
that night that he might not be disturb
ed in his operations. She had left the
window unfastened and the key Of the
safe in the lock. She had also taken care
that all her ladyship's jewelry, but

But not long after the sloop was
wrecked, and so the months and years
slipped away, and the story of the lost
woman became almost legend, her
appearance often being pictured by
the storytellers of the day and her
one quaint cry of "Maneuauna," being
repeated to credulous listeners. Sew.
enteen years went by, and the woman
was almost forgotten, until finally Pa
Dire Gonzales, excited by curiosity to
learn her fate, hired a resident OF
Santa Barbara to make careful search
for her, and as result three unsuc-
cessful trips were made to the island.
On the last Captain Niderer took sew
eral Indians, and after futile attempts
succeeded in landing. They soon
found evidence that some one lived
on the island, discovering a basket
containing feathers. This they dis
turbed, and on visiting it the follow
ing day found the feathers replaced.
It was evident that the woman was
avoiding them, so they formed a line
as we'll as they could across the island
and marched in regular order 200 yards
apart. Even then they could not find
her, and it was only when they had
nearly given up the hunt that one OF
the party finally stumbled upon three
huts and the woman, who was sitting
on the ground, with wild dog beside
her, which growled fiercely at the
strangers. The men signsled to the
others, and the entire party were soon
gathered about the woman, who had
lived a life as remarkable as that of
Crusoe. She could not understand a
word that was said. The Indians OF
the party, thinking that she was a
sacred person, fell on their knees be-
fore her. She was a comely woman,
40 or so years of age, dressed in the
skins of sea birds, or shags, which
were fastened to sealskin: About her
were baskets cleverly made, and, to
the windward of her hut, which was
made of the ribs of a whale, she had
built windbrake of brush and grass.
She had dishes of stone, in which she
ground roots of various kinds, and her
clothes were sewed with thread made
from sealskin aud with needles from
the bones of birds. She consented to
90 aboard the vessel and was carried
to Santa Barbara with all her belong
ings, which were considered great
curiosities, her dress of skins being
sent to Rome to the Pope.
At Santa Barbara she lived in the
family of one of her rescuers, and
thoug b Indians from all over the state
visited her, no one could be found who
could understand her. She was a
perfect child, playing for hours at a
time, and making signs which could
not be interpreted. She was baptized
and given a Spanish name, and at her
death was buried in the old mission
graveyard, having survived the change
from savage to civilized life less than
two months.

Lived on a Lonely Island For Seventeen
Years.
Pasadena Cor Of the New York Post.
During the present summer the wri.
ter made the attempt to land on the
island of San Nicolas, an almost bar
ron mass of sand lying go miles of
the coast of southern California, the
extreme outlying point of the coast.
We passed the little island of Santa
Barbara late in the afternoon, and at
z o'clock were five miles from the
outer island. This was about seven
miles long, and in portions 800 feet
high. Around the summit of its low
hills a bank of cloud had gathered,
and piece by piece was being torn
away by a gale that had gathered so
rapidly that after lying to for FIVE
hours in an attempt to weather it out,
we were forced to bear away and run
before it under a close-reefed foresail
for a lee 80 miles away.
This island lies in an area of con-
slant gales, and is almost unapproach-
able except during the calm periods
of the winter, and even then, owing
to the storms that suddenly rise, it is
a dangerous place for yachts. Not
withstanding this, San Nicolas has had
within two centuries vigorous native
population, and with its barron shores
is associated true story that bears all
the essentials. of a romance of the
Crusoe order. Within the present
century the last of the natives were
taken ashore by order of the priests
at the Santa Barbara Mission, under
instructions from the Mexican govern
ment. The Indians had been living
there from time immemorial, subsist-
ing on fish land shellfish), with which
the waters abound. A vessel was sent
to the island, and all the Indians were
taken aboard with the exception of
one woman, whose child or children
had been forgotten. 1t is believed
that a gale was coming on, and that
the skipper found. his little craft in
danger, and 80 put off, Others say
that the woman was purposely desert
ed. In any event, the boat sailed
away, leaving her standing alone on
the beach, and being "only an Indian
woman" it probably mattered little to
the other hunters, who were glad to
get away from the rough coast. When
the Indians were landed at Santa Bar
bara, it was said to be the intention of
