THE YEAR 1910.

The beginning of a new year has long
been considered an eventful period in
the life of individuals and nations. Then
it is that persons and peoples are dis
posed to review the past, particularly
the year that has just closed, and to
conjecture and resolve as to the new
year.
The year 1909 was not an unusual one
In the history of modern nations. 1t
showed no marks of retrogression but
presented much evidence of moral ad-
vancement and intellectual DEVELOPMENT
of mankind. Men and nations are
steadily growing better, for the world
is surely becoming more intelligent.
rhis has been accomplished by certain.
~seeady processes, and is, therefore.
more substantial than if it had come
suddenly and in a brief space of time.
Sudden revolutions in thought or action
are not always the soundest and safest.
DIR. Franklin declared that it was not
wise for man to resolve to rid himself
at one fell stroke of all his faults, but
to select one of the many that each in
s6iyidual possesses, and attack and con-
"a one, then, in detail to do the
R that remain. This ad-
" the fathers applies to
e well as individuals.

Strange Experience of Man Recently Au-
pointed United States Senator From
Mississippi.

Sought at one time by the Federal
authorities under a $40, 900 reward for
his capture, dead or alive, for alleged
conspiracy in the murder of President
OF the United States, and now appoint
ed as member Of the legislative BODY
OF that country, is the strange exper;-
ence Of Colonel James Gordon, of Oko-
iona' who has just been named by Gov
ernor Noel, of Mississippi, as successor
TO the late A. ]. McLaurin.
Colonel Gordon was one of the severoI

Colonel Gordon had formed an intimate

assassination of President Lincoln. the

capture. Colonel Gordon went to Can

I ~'"~@fAA@-A 'aos A1lltc-
A remarkable painting, Representa-
tive Of the Christ, exhibited at the Alas
ka- Yukon-Psciic Exposition. was pur-
chased by DR.. w. L. Wright, of WASH
ington, who had sent it about the coop-
try for exhibition at religious ana other
gatherings. The canvas has peculiari-
ties for which neither chemists nor cler-
les cen account.
Viewed in the full light of dav II ;s a
splendid religious picture of the usual
type, but after nightfaIl or when the
room is darkened, the clouds in the
background of the painting emit a vivid
glow, which throws out the firnre ne
the Christ, and shines around the head
like halo. The artist did not himself
discover this singular feature of his
work until he had almost completed II
AT the suggestion of a friend. a Ribla
lecturer, he had begun the work. but
for some time felt dissatisfied. and at
last put the painting aside. One day a
new idea on the subject came to him
ana ne at once resumed his painting.
and sought to convey his thought m
the canvass he felt that this time he
was succeeding. One evening he en-
tered the room and observed a peculiar
hight, which emanated from the picture
on his easel. Before him was the shad-
owy form Of the Christ, just as he hsd
painted it, but it stood out against a
background like magnificent aureole.
such as the artist had neither painted
nor thought Of.

gious Tor human hand to make any ad-
oi'ion' and the painting has been left
incomplete. Chemists have sought to
analyze, theologians have discussed but

tnre has never been satisfactorily ex-
planned.

A COMPULSORY PRIMARY,

Just as we have predicted the Demo
cratic Machine is getting ready to place
another serpent in the election laws of
Virginia. This serpent is named a Ia.
gallzed primary, and is intended to be
compulsory. A bill has been prepared
by Speaker Byrd of the House of Dele
gates, and will be introduced at the
session of the General Assembly which
begins on the 18th instant. Mr.. Byrd
is the chief spokesman and agent of the
Machine on legislative matters, and, of
course, this bill meets with its approval
Strange to say, most of the Democratic
papers in the State have given their
sanction to the measure, and the Rich
mond Times-Dispatch has become its
especial champion. The Lynchbur0
News has been the only Democratic IA
per in the State to announce hostility to
the measure. Even that paper an
nounces that if the Democrats in con-
vention had declared for a compulsory
primary it would acquiesce in the enact
ment of such law, though manifeatIv
unjust and undemocratic. Mr.. Glass
declares the measure is drastic. radi-
cal and revolutionary" He further
says: 4
THE vital defect in the bill ia its
compulsory feature-its utter lack of
fiexibility; and the serious impairment
it involves of party option in the con-
troll of its own affairs. 1t proposes to

whip OF the law to the primary booth.
however protestant and unwilling that

this far beyond the present domain of

Mr.. Glass believes that all parties
should have the option of using the pri- t
mary If they desire, but that party gov q
eminent and party authority should not
be destroyed by a compulsory primary :,
law.
No more vicious measure has ever
been drafted or offered to be enacted
than this compulsory primary bill.

"a Julian. This was a Julian Sunday,
and was the thirteenth day of the
moon by the Jewish calendar. 1t was
rule or law among the Jews that the
day began at sunset; hence the caien-
OAR OF Calippus invariably called that
day following the sunset Immediately
AFTER tull moon and a Sunday (sun's
day). Thus the full moon occurred at
E4l In the morning Of the 18th of
April. Julian year. and that in the cal
endar Of Calippus was the thirteenth
day OF the moon, or the one before the
fourteenth, and was a Jewish holiday.
The Passover was always celebrated
on the fourteenth day Of the moon
next following the solar ingress into
the first degree OF Aries, the vernal
equinox, and 1t must always, by law,
be celebrated on the fourteenth day of
the moon, as shown on the calendar
calculated by the priesthood
In the Julian year "a the sun en-
tered Aries at % minutes after D.

f'asis for The scene depicted in the next

tiny, may be given as follows:
Clement c. Clay, while Senator in
the Confederate Congress-, accepted an
appointment as Brigadier General in
the Confederate Army. At the time of
surrender at Appomattox, General CLAW
was an officer in General Lees Armv
and as such was included in the terms
of the parole granted to Lees Army by
the Federal commander in chief at the
time of the final surrender. Notwith-
standing this fact, General CLAW was. bv
order OF President johnson, imprisoned
In company with jefferson Davis in a
cell at Fort Warren at Fortress Mon
roe, Virginia.
while prisoner there he was taken
sick, and his wife was informed that nm
less ne was liberated he would undoubt-
eoly die in prison. Mrs. Clay then went
to Washington with view to securing
an order releasing her husband from I'M
prisonment. In company with Dan
voorhees,, Of Indiana, and Augustus
Garland, of Arkansas, she sought and
obtained an interview with President
johnson. This resulted in the latter
writing an order directing Secretarv
stanton to issue an order releasing Cen
erai Clay from Imprisonment at Fort
Warren. At this time, as every reader
VIII recall, the relations between Pres;-
dent johnson and Secretary Stanton
were greatly strained.
"nen TINS order was presented Ia
Secretary Stanton by Mrs. CLAW. who
had gone to his Office in company with
Messrs- voorhees, and Garland, Secre-
tary Stanton fatty informed Mrs. CLAW
that he would not obey the order. This
done, Mrs. Clay withdrew from his
presence in company with her two COM
panions. AS they left the Office of the
War Department, Mr. Voorhees, said
we will now appeal to Caesar Mrs.
Clay did not understand the meaning of
tnese words and asked an explanation.
This was given with the statement that
II she would go to General Grant and
get him to make the same kind of an
order that had already been made bv
PRESIDENT johnson, that then Secretary
Stanton would not dare refuse to honor
such request when coming from the
Man of Appomattox.
The appeal was made to General
Grant and was granted in the very
words that are reproduced in the chan |
ter OF The Man of Destiny already re-
ierred to. When this order was pre-
Sented to Secretary Stanton he forth
with issued an order for the release Of
