Ct,R1OSITIES OF THE BIBLE.

Belfast Witness.
The following Bible curiositieS are
said TO have been gained by a study Of
the Good Book by the Prince of Ora
NADIA, heir apparent to the Spanish
throne. during his thirty-threc years
imprisonment at the Place Of Skulls
Prison, Madrid;
In the Bible the word Lord is found
1853 times; the word Jehovah 6,Soo
times, and the word reverence but
once, aud that in the 9th verse OF the
ll1th Psalm. The Sth verse OF the
1lSth Psalm is the middle verse OF the
Bible, The 9th verse Of the Sth chap
ter of Esther is the longest verse
The 35th verse, nth chapter OF 81,
John, is the shortest. In the lOith
Psalm four verses are alikc-thc SIN,
18th, 2lst and 3lst. Each verse Of the
l36tb Psalm ends alike. No names or
words with more than six syIIabIcs are
found in the Bible. The 31th chapter
of Isaiah and the 10Th chapter OF 2nd
Kings are alike, The word girl occurs
but once in the Bible, and that in the
3rd verse and 3rd chapter OF Joel.
There are found in both books of the
Bible l,5S6, 1873 letters, 1858 words,
3l,373 verses, l,lS0 chapters and 81
books. The Goth chapter OF the Acts
of the Apostles IS the finest chapter to
read. The most beautiful chapter in
the Bible is the BIRD Psalm. The four
inspiring promises are John ". ,,
John vi. 81, Matt. ri. ., and Psalm
XXXvii. 4. The first verse OF the SIN
tieth chapter of Isaiah is the one Tor
the new converts. All who tlatter
themselves with vain boaStings OF
their perfection should learn the sixth
chapter Of Matthew, All humanity
should learn the sixth chapter Of st.
Luke from the twentieth verse to its
ending"

The Cretau patriot, Is a young Amazon and tn
She has fought many battles without suffering
single defeat, and Is said to be an able general an
,bsolutcly without fear. She is % years ola sn'
bought to be very handsome.
ATurkish Bashaw, on the Isle Of Crete,
Sat at ease in his banquet hall,
Where the sunshine's gilded light
Rested on the frcscOed WAL.
And in through the open window
Floatcd a rare and sweet perfume,
From the gardens opening flowers
That filled the lofty room.
Like a strain Of distant music,
Heard floating in an undertone,
The murmur Of the suffering Cretcs
Rose in a wild and wailing moan,
And in the city the chime Of music
From the tall cathedral towers
Tell the Greek, and Christian Crctcs
The story OF the passing hours.
The cruel Pasha sought to subdue
The Christians righteous sway,
Man. maid and matron. too,
Fled from his deadly way,
The streets Of every city rang
With a voice long since mute,
When they saw every tree was
Burdencd with a human fruit.
Margerta told the Greek sagcs
How the people blcd at every pore,
Then the wrongs Of many ages
Broke with the cannou's roar.
Then this young and daring woman,
And there never was a drawer,
Her vulor could not DC surpassed
At Ladi or the Pass Of Balakana.
She leads her army in every charge,
And was never known to wayer,
ON the battles bloody mango
You never saw a general Drawer.
Down at the guarded city,
Where the deadly cannon play,
And the Turkish cohorts rally
Against them she leads the way.
Inspired by her determined will
They charge the deadly mortar,
And press on the ranks to fill
Regardless Of the human slaughter.
The Turks retire with curses
And loud bursts Of ribald jest,
That stir the blood to fury
Or every Cretau soldier breast.
In death thrice their number sleep,
Through fear the rest retire
From the field dark and deep,
Filled with the Crctans' deadly fire.
When the battle fought and won
She wecps above the gallant slain,
To the wounded every care is given
To relieve their aching pain.
Her form as. 1.-the as the bending reed
With honor true to every trust,
Feet that steps with electric speed
And melting eyes of evening dusk.
Waving %ringIets, dark as night,
Check, tinted by beauty's care,
a heart a. pure a. the morning light
That scorns the thought of fear.

THE MOBILE, JACKSON AMI
KANSAS CITY RAILROAD.

The Day BOok-Gazette of IlattieS-
burg, in a leading editorial on the
abUvc-named railroad, among other
things says:
The road is being constructed as
rapidly at the Mobile end as labor can
do it, and a force Of 1900 to 2O0O men
and teams are kept constantly at
WORK, and the construction Of the
roadbcd and laying Of rails is progress
ing at the rate OF n mile per day.
There has been a great deal Of spcCu-
IatiOn as to why forces of men were
not placed at different points along
the line this road is to follow, so that
the work might be more rapidly com
plctcd, and in Il conversation with "A
prominent gentlemean on this sub
ject, who is thoroughly posted on this
matter, he gave the following reasons
why the work was being done at one
point:
1t seems that out a few miles from
Mobile the line of road will extend
through an almost unbr0ken pine for
est Of the finest and most valuable
kind Of this timber and which is own.
ed by stockholders in this road. These
parties are interested in having faCili-
ties such as will enable them to manu-
faCture this lumber, and hence the
reason for all the work being done at
that end Of the line. by constructing
the road through this belt Of timber
and getting it in active operation to
carry this lumber to the markets,
they will at OncC begin to realize
something On their investments in
this timber land. and it will also give
the road immediate work. AS soon
as the rOadbcd is finished through
this district, which is about forty
miles, their forces Of men will be
placed all along the line and the work
will be pushed rapidly.

MURDER f!
Mrs. Isaac Paul FOully Dealt
With.
AN EXCITED POPULACE.
THE WHOLE COUNTRY FILLED
WITH ARMED MEN.

uSt as we were preparing II
go to press, to-day, at noon, the
news was brought to town, by {
boy on horseback, that Mrs. Isaac
Paul, living about five miles
east of Garrett, had been muir.
dered. Sheriff Keeney and g
posse of men were soon OH theil
way to the scene of the murder.
Carriages and wagons filled with
men, men on horses and bicy.
cles-nearly all armed, and wild
with eXcitement-hurried after.
Lee Champe, of the AGITATOR,
struck out on his wheel, and was
one of the first persons there
from town. The particulars
which he gathered are meagre,
but are as follows:
Mr.. Paul had been gathering
apples near the house during
the forenoon. A little before
noon, he thought that he would
water his horses, and by that
time dinner would be ready.
However, something impelled
to go to the house first, and
there terrible sight met his
gaze-his wife reclined against
bed, not yet dead, but uncon-
scious, wound in her forehead
and her head cut open across the
top. Everything about the
house was topsy-turvy, and
there were evidences of strug-
gle. Judging from the indica-
tions, the object of the person
or persons who committed the
deed was robbery.
Mr.. Paul entered the house by
an east door, and as he went in,
he heard a south door close. He
had seen no one about the house
during the forenoon, and in his
he failed to go to the
door which he heard close, so he
has no knowledge of who killed
his wife. There was a double
oarre,ed shotgun in the room,
oaded, land, from the indications,
Mrs. Paul had grabbed the gun
md snapped both caps, but the
gun failed togo off. ut appear RS
hat the murderer took the gun
rom her and struck her oil the
orehead. This failing to kill
