associated boiled cabbage with vine

bage above all things. Well, her fu-

stick, she would handle him carefully,

witness, and thought that jury would
not fail to give her adequate compen-

The Eternal Master.

Worldly philosophy said: Matter is
eternal. The world always was. God
did not make It," Christian philoso-
ply plunges its crowbar into rocks
and finds that the world was grad
ually made, and If gradually made
there must have been some point at
which the process started. Then who
started it? And so that objection was
overcome, and in the first three words
Of the Bible we find that Moses stated
a magnificent truth when he said, "In
the beginning"
Worldly philosophy said: Your BIZ
BILE is most inaccurate book. All
that story in the Old Testament, again
and again told, about the army of the
locusts-it is preposterous. There is
nothing in the coming of the locusts
like an army. An army walks; To-
Gusts fly. An army goes in order and
procession; locusts without order"
Wait" said Christian philosophy. and
in 1868 in the southwestern part of this
country Christian men went out to ex-
anime the march Of the locusts. There
are men right before me who must
have noticed in that very part of the
country the coming up OF the locusts
like an army, and 1t was found that
all the newspaper unwittingly spoke
of them as an army. Why? They
seem to have a commander. They
march like a host. They halt like a
host. No arrow ever went in straight
err flight than the locusts come, not
even turning aside for the wind. II
the wind rises, the locusts drop, and
then rise again after ii has gone down,
taking the same line OF march, not
varying foot. The old Bible is right
every time when ii speaks of locusts
coming like an army; worldly philos-
ophy wrong.
Worldly philosophy said, "All that
story about the light turned as clay
10 the seal Is simply an absurdity."
Old time worldly philosophy said,
"The light comes straight" Chris
tian philosophy says, Wait little
while" and 1t goes on and makes dis
soyeries and finds that the atmosphere
curves and bends the rays OF light
around the earth, literally "as the
slay TO the seal" The Bible right

Loss of Cattle Confirmed.

The report that a large number of
cattle drowned near Battle Noun tain
seems to be well founded. though very
little in the nature of particulars can
be obtained. The greatest loss was
sustained by John Paul, whose ranch
is located on the river about twelve
miles east OF Battle Mountain. Nearly
ali the cattle he possessed We're caught
in the food a few days since and sew
eral hundred were drowned. The bot
tom lands in that locality are covered
with water with the exception of few
Of the higher pieces of ground, which
are now islands in the rushing Hood
On these are huddled the few cattle re.
naming, but there is no way of re-
moving them unless the waters should
7ubs!de as quickly as they arose.
Reports from up the river are tina;
the food is the most remarkable even
known. 1t came so unexpectedly that

likely that many others besides Mr.
