HAD A BROWN JESUS."
How an INSCRIPTIONS Filipino Bun
coed His People.

From the New York World
West Point, Oct. 6.--With the Eighth
Infantry, just returned from Manila,
come an odd story and also two wood
en- images which are to be presented
to the post museum. With the two
wooden images and a ventriloquist's
voice Jose Zaide, a Filipino, made a
fortune and gave thousands to the
cause Of the Philippine rebels.
Zaide's game was one of pure bum
co, but it worked we'll and kept the
Americans guessing for many a day
before they landed him in Jail. The
images will serve not only as quaint
exhibit of Filipino artifice, but will
show how far the art of humbug has
advanced in the new possessions.
Zaide's outfit consists of two carved
wooden heads, one representing the
Christ, and one the Virgin Mary. In
each the traditional cast of feature
has been retained, but on one point
tradition seems to have been thrown
to the four winds. The Christ head
is brown, the color of the Filipino
Accompanying the heads are four
hands, two brown and two white, ex-
quisitely carved. and two pairs OF
straw-stuffed arms, a crimson velvet
rope trimmed in gold tinsel a dress
of Filipino cloth, three hemp wigs, and
an elaborate halo of gilded tin.
These images have every appearance
of religious relics. They are, however,
but the paraphernalia of a swindler
who had no conscience in the matter
of this sacrileglous use of sacred fig-
ures or of turning to account the SUI
perstitions of his countrymen.

His motive had not the saving SAVIOR

It is true that he did equip a regiment
for the insurgent leader Caballes, but
he did It merely to gain insurgent pro-
lection for himself.

This town has one gin and two large

The frequent rainy seasons are fine
for stripping tobacco, and the farmers
are making good use Of them too.
The negroes are doing all in their
power to raise money to fight the Con-
stitution Of Virginia. They are form

Milton Epps (colored) the mail route
contractor from Nile to Rice Depot,
came near losing his horse last
week while attempting to cross Sailor
creek after a heavy rain. The water
washed him, horse and jumper down
stream. He succeeded in getting out
safely after a short while, then he had
to go down the creek to a plantation
bridge before he could cross. This
makes several times to my knowledge
that people have either gotten their
horses mired, or washed down stream
In this creek, for it is deep and swift
one. The head Of ii is about miles
above, with a drainage Of from 1000 to
5000 acres Of land above this ford, and
yet some OF our supervisors say that
bridge is not needed there. / reckon
if some Of them were to get ducked
there once, they would say that
bridge is necessary; don't you?
The good, hard and firm roads we
have had all Of this fall, have melted
away and are no more. All we haye
now is mud and water, where once

Xmas, the merriest time Of the year.

Are We Thankful

Editor Herdld.-If some Of the read
ers of the Herald who attended Thanks
giving services at the Methodist
church, on Thursday Of last week, will
get a Methodist hymn book and read
again the opening hymn which was
used on that occasion, they may be
somewhat surprised at the things they
said or sung they were thankful for:
"Pain, disappointment" "loss,' the
"cross." DC. 1 quote from memory,
but have not missed the mark widely.
And now are we thankful for such
things? Dark days as well as bright
ones ? sick days as well as well ones =?
PAIN as well as pleasure? loss as well
as gain ? frown as well as smile? /
do not say that we should not be, but
do ask are we? And If we are not,
don't let's say so or sing SO any more,
especially in the church Of God, and to
the God of the church.
They tell us, and upon the authority
of the inspired word, that it sis a fear
ful thing to fall into the hands Of the
living God" but isn't it also fearful
thing to live2 This is written by
one who helped to sing that hymn,
and who has been thinking Of it since.
Lord l believe, help thou my unbe-
lief"
