The resurrection Of Jesus christ is

The resurrection Of Jesus Christ is
one of the best attested facts in his
tory. The late Charles III. Spurgeon
called attention to the fact that few
other events in history are so we'll at
tested.
The signing of famous treaties, the
births of princes, the remarks of ca
binet ministers and the deeds of as
sassins have not been SO widely wit
messed as the rising of Jesus Christ
from the tomb A thousand years
before the birth of Christ the Psalmist
had prophesied that He should not re
main in the grave, and repeatedly
Christ Himself had foretold His death
and resurrection to his apostles:
"The son of man must suffer many
things, and be rejected of the elders,
and of the chief priests, and scribes,
and be killed, and after three days
rise again."

The Queens Choice.

Great amusement was caused by the
recital of an incident which occurred
soon after her majesty's accession to
the throne. A grand dinner party was
being given at Buckingham palace. The
probable husband the queen might Sc
lect was then a matter of much inter
est and speculation. Lord Melbourne, a
prime minister, felt the matter to be
one in which he was entitled to obtain
inform alton if possible. So he inquired
of the queen as neatly as he could
whether there was any individual for
whom she entertained a preference.
Her majesty was little taken aback
and inquired whether he put the ques-
ton as matter of state policy. If so,
she would endeavor to give him an an
swer. Lord Melbourne replied that he
did, and that under no other circum-
stances would he have ventured to in
trude in so delicate matter. ''Then,
said the queen, 'there is one person for
whom entertain decided preference. I"
"Yes?' said Lord Melbourne, expecting
to hear great secret. ''And that is
that is, % said the queen, 'the Duke of
Wellington. The venerable hero Of
Waterloo was past his SEVENTEEN year,
and the story used to be retailed by
Lord Melbourne at his own expense

Virtues of English Tobacco.

A retail shop on Forty second street,
New York, does quite a business i'll i'm
ported English tobaccos. It's windows
are gay with the advertising cards of
certain manufacturers in England.
Now, no one will pretend that Eng
lish smoking tobaccos are as good as
American. The raw leaf from which they
are manufactured has first to be brought
into England from this country, and
the United States is not sending its best
hogshead tobacco abroad. On account
of the tariff the imported English to-
baccos are much dearer than those
which are manufactured in this coun-
try, and since, as I have said, the home
product is so much better than the for
eign it is not easy to explain why there
should be any demand for the English
goods in this city at all. [ asked the
dealer if he sold much of the English
tobacco, and he answered that the de-
mand was quite large and quite steady.
eff you ask me how it comes that
am able to sell these goods, shouldn't
be able to tell you, excepting on the
theory that those who buy it are Anglo
maniacs, who love English things be-
cause they are English. They fancy
that every time they buy package of
this English pipe tobacco they advertise
the fact that they have been in England
and have acquired the taste there. But
since they advertise it only to me, who
don't care a rap whether they have
been in England or not, 1 can't for the
life of me see why they do it. '-Tobac-
