horde of political plunderers as ever disgraced a cirilized cation. 'tirover Cleveland acquired power under promises cf ciil-service reform. Having violated his pledget, each and all, he now seeks to retain power by virtue of his pretended devotion to another doctrine, whieh he names tariff reform, and he demands of the people by all the promises which he has violated toward his early loe, that they shall believe h'ra wholly true and faithful toward this late-bori child of his political fancy. But they will not do it Tbe old muxini of the common law applies 'Falsus ia uno, falsns in cmsibus!' His acts peat louder than his professions. (Jut of his own lips baa come his condemnation. Ho has described all that a President ought to bt, and which he is not Judge him by toe standard he has establihd for Himself. He has set before us an ideal to which his life and his administration have giren the livin lie. Hereafter if men can be found who will believe anything that he may say, upon their own heads must rest the consequents of their credulity." An Assistant Democrat. Epcift.l to the ln&i&n&joIU Jourl Ckawforssville, Sept. 10. Ia a very short

time C H. St. John, a cousin of ex-Governor St John, will come to Indiana under the guise of working for the Prohibition party, but in truth he ia working in the interests of the Democrats. He and his wife have been 'praying, speaking, and talking about 'free whisky' Republicanism" throughout Kansas, asd are to carry on the same old song in this State this fall. They hate been ia northern New York and in Illinois, carrying on their meetings, and Mrs. St John has made "considerable reputation by speaking under the captivating motto of 'Social rarity' and 'For God, for Home and Native Land.'" Their manner of work is to go among the fanning classes. They op-sn their meetines with prayer and eingIne, and manage to weave xn the heresy of Prohibition and thus sow dissension among Chris-, tian Republicans. They are very elaborate with their comments in telling about the "free whisky lie meat" in the Republican party. They never refer to the Democratio party, as though a Democrat never 'gulped down" whisky. This proves that they are trying to get Republicans to vote the Prohibition ticket in order to help elect the Democratio ticket AtBeloit, Kan., on Aug. 2l this Q H. St John said that he had just returned from the East and in speaking of General Harrison used the following language: 'if you should go down there and set, as 1 have ,T,itbmy own eyes, the disgraceful, drunken, bowline mobs that call on that man, you would b) disgusted. The railroads haul them for $1 a head, and they make a drunken spree of it" 'Xae Republican county convention met at Beicit on Saturday, Aug. 1, and passed a resolution "condemning in most unmeasured terms the language used by C 1L St John relative to General Harrison and those who call upon him, and that the man who uttered such language ia unworthy the confidence and respect of the com munity-orpf the publio generally." Ail the Democratic papers in Kansas published what St John said about -General Harrison, and it will bo wise to be cn tie alert and let all Republicans io Indiana, a well as elsewhere, give this St John end his wife the cold shoulder. Per- ' hens a brief history of C H. St John would serve to prove wt.it 'manner of work be is trying io do now. He arrived in Beloit, Kan., about fonr years ago. and held 'tie position as special pension agent. After ards he was deposed by Cleveland's order and then he wanted to be the Republican candidate for Congress, but failed to be nominated. Then he wanted to be the Republican candidate for county superintendent cf Mitchell county, Kansas, and again was unsuccessful Ha then came out as an independent candidate and was defeated by 1.G00 majority. This was two years ago. since which time he has been doing ail he could against the Republican party by pretending to be working for the cause of temperanca for the Prohibition party. A Republican Revival in Mattooo. Correspondence of the Indianapolis Journal. Mattoon, I1L, Sept 10. Oar city is now enjoying a Republican boom. In 1872 we suffered a defection of some seventy-five votes, that went over to Greeley, forming at that time a club known as the Republican Greeley Club. All have cow returned to the fold, except John Cunningham, who is editor of a Democratic papor of our cicy. All these prodigals are now working easy in the old harness. Fresh converts from the old free-trade party are daily reported. Among them ia that of Rev. Mr. Ronmcer, formally a Prohibitionist, and delegate in 132 to their State convention at Bloomington. He is a man of excellent piety, great force of character, unbounded popularity and unequaled eloquence. He has taken the field for Harrison and Uortcn, and hundreds of Prohibitionists vill follow his wise example. Another convert from free-trade Democracy is that of Gen. G. W. Sullivan, who for years was one of Mattoon's most able business men, but has retired from active bnsiness pursuits. Four yesrs ago he whs the chief marshal of the Democracy in our city. He was a Union soldier, a gret favorite with the Irish and a very fluent speaker, well posted on the tariff and silver questions. And last bet not least Mrs. Mazgie Neeaby, an old resident of our city, of great wealth and business capacity, a liberal contributor to all the various institutions of our city, an able coadjutor with our efficient Mayor in his mighty efforts to suppress vice, demanding at time a chance of cCeers so as to carry out her views. She has by all tbese efforts on her part elevated herself to the front raak of our heroine women. Bus free trade baa driven her from DemoeracT into the Republican hearts: and she has now taken charge of the Republican headquarters, and new activity ia daily discerned under her great organizing power. Among other things, be Is now engaged in organizing a Woman's Republican Club, assisted by Mrs. Foster, of Iowa, and is meeting with great encouragement from our prominent Mayor and police force. The ripened condition of all the material interests of our city, financial, moral And social, vnder the Republican role for the paat seven years, ehowe the wisdom of our people in keeping car city in Republican hands. F. A, Allison. Gen. TJovey at Sew Castle, tperfal to the Indlanaootls Jourcu. New Castle, Sept 10. On Sunday New Castlehad the pleasure of entertaining the next Governor of Indiana, Gen. Alvin P. Hovey, who is the guest of General and Mrs. William Grose. Gen. Hovey arrived in the city Saturday night from Couriers Till e, and attar receiving an ovation cf which any man should fell highly complimented, by the thousands of enthusiastic people 'who had gathered to greet him, he was driven to tbe home of General Grose, where he secured a much needed rest, his trip from Connersvills having been one continued ovation at ercry pla:e the train stopped. On Sunday the General enjoyed a season of restf ol quiet, spending the day at the home of his host where he received as many of his friends as chose to call on him, socially. This is General Hover's first appearance in New Castle, and the people are much pleased, and frizbly enthusiastio over his stay in the city. To-day a mass-meeting was held in the courthouse, and the General addressed the people on political issues, after which he was eiven a reception, and all were afforded an opportunity to shake hands with him. He left to-night to attend the G. A. R. encampment at Columbus. General Hovey has, as yet no definite programme arranged for the campaign, as he ia cn a leave of absence from the House, which expires on the 15th of this month, at which time he may have to return to Washington. To the Journal correspondent he expressed his intention to canvass as much of the State as possible, and expressed himself as very hopeful cf the result When his attention was called to the threat of the Democrats to have him arrested for violation of tbe postal laws, he smiled and replied that he entertained no fears frcm that source, as be had never attached his signature to a document that was not legal, and that if anything of the kind had been done at any time it was a fortrery. General Hovey is hiebiy pleased by the manner in which he has been received and entertained by the citizens of New Castle and Henry county, and his st ty has added greatly to the enthusiasm of the Republicans here. liutlr, GrJfhn and Laudis In Carroll. Bpecial to the XudUnacoIls Journal. f Delphi, Sept 10. Hon. John M. Butler, o Indianapolis, addressed a large meeting in this city Saturday afternoon, The announcement that he was to speak had been made only a few days before, but the mere announcement was all that was necessary to secure the distinguished gentleman a splendid , audience, composed of Democrats and Republicans. Mr. Butlers address was a magnificent presentation of the issues of the campaign. In his presentation of the tariff question he id eloquent and powerful, and is considered by men of both parties here as ut3urpaesd by any campaign orator in the State. Ihe members of the Democratio party fear hira as thjv fear no other man, and resorted to every means in their power to keep tLe farmen and lab ring men away from his meeting. In tne evening Mr. Butler and C. B. Lsodis went out i' Yeoman, where a Republican pole l&fiet hih was raised. Teom&a Ua Deao-

c ratio botbed, and the audience that assembled in the strove was composed mostly of Democratio farmers. After a short address, Mr. Iandis gave way to Mr. Butler who, for two hours, talked tariff, and a more appreciative audience never assembled in tbis county. If anything, Mr. Butler's speech at nigbt was superior to his afternoon effort It was a massive, unanswerable argument He talked face to face with Democratio farmers and their wives and children, who felt complimented that a gentleman of such reputation should come to their little town to address them. The Delphi Glee Club was present and was cheered to the echo after averv none.

In tne evening the court-house In this city was packed by an audience attracted by the announcement that Hon. C. F. Griffin, Secretary of State, would speak. His address was i an admirable one, eloquent and convincing. He was followed by Patrick O'Doouell. Carroll county's Irish orator, who is in demand all over the State. Good work was done for the Republican party in Carroll county last Saturday. Porter and Jitrvey at Marlon. Special to the Indianapoll Journal. Marion, Sept 10. This has been a big oty for the Republicans of Grant county, the occasion being the firing of the largest political gun, thus far, of the earn paicn. The speakers were ex-Gov. Albert G. Porter and Geo. Harvey, of Indianapolis. The meeting was held at 3 o'clock, at Water-works park, where a stand wa3 ereeted, and handsomely decorated, and seats provided for several thousand people. The attendance was estimated at from 5,000 to 7,000 people, drawn from all parts of the county. There were uniformed companies from several out townships, and fifty young ladies in uniform from Fairmount, under the name of the Carrie Harrison Club. Col. H. P. Cary, a veteran of the 'rebellion and, the Mexiean war, presided. Governor Porter's address was a fair and careful review of the political situation, entirely argumentative and devoid of anything that would arouse or array the prejudices of the opposition. The recent ereat manufacturing interests developed here, by reason of the discovery of natural gas, gave tbe speaker an opportunity to handle tbe tariff question with particular force. Tne other State and national issues that enter into this campaign were handled with a force and ability such as few other speakers are capable of. At the close of Governor Porter's address George Harvey was introduced, and spoke for three quarters of an hour. Mr. Harvey is a mechanic by occupation, and what he lacks in classic lore ho makes up in the force and pointedness of his remarks. He confined himself almost exclusively to the tariff.upon which subjest he is thoroughly posted. He has a particularly strong way of pnttinz facts and figures, and his illustrations are very taking. The effect of the meeting has been to enthuse Republicans for the work that is before them. The Veterans Are for Harrison. Jjecial to the Indianapolis Joaroaw Union City, Ind., Sept 10. The Panhandle and Bee-line roads have been busy at this point, since Saturday evening, moving trains loaded with veterans going to tbe reunion at Columbus. Only a few of the trains have beau polled, and those at random, and the result can be taken aa a fair indication of all the others. One train on the Panhandle, last evenin, carried 467 voters Harrison, 3&; Cleveland, 82. On the same road, this morn ing, one train had Harrison. 233; Cleveland, 22; another had for Harrison. 137: Cleveland, 41; and another had Harrison, 245; Cleveland, 8L The trains on the Bee-line, carrying veterans from Missouri, were still more significant One train had for Harrison, 206; Cleveland, 9; anotner train Lsd for Harrison, 317; Cleveland, 10: another train of fifteen heavily loaded coaches stopped at the station when a veteran who voted for Cleveland in 1S34 stepped on the platform and offered a reward of $5 to any man who would find a Cleveland voter on the train. The St Louis delegation were the most enthusisstie, and announce wonderful chaneee in their localities from Democrats to Republicans, and many well informed men among them spoke with confidence of carrying the State for Harrison and Morton. It is estimated that more than 20,000 O. A. R. men have passed this point Meeting and Pole-Itelstnc at Selma. 8cec!al to tb Indianapolis Journal. Selma, Sept 10. One of the most enthusiastic meetings of this campaign, in Delaware county, was held here on Saturday. The speaking in the afternoon was very largely attended, and much enthusiasm was manifested. Rev. Jas. 1L Lewi addressed the people on the temperance question, and cave third-party-men much to think over. His speech was closely listened to and often applauded, and his arguments carried a conviction that local option is the most practical method of suppressing the saloons. Mr. John F. Meredith, of Muncie. who is a vigorous campaign worker, was then introduced and spoke on the political issues of tbe day, and the way he showed up the hypocrisy of President Cleveland and tbe Democratio Congress on the pension questien was most pleasing to the old soldiers present, who often showed approval by nods and cheers.. He also discussed the State issues io a very pointed and effective manner. After the speaking a fine pole bearing streamers and Harrison and Morton banners was erected, and the stars and stripes run up and three rousing cheers given for Harrison and Morton. Three martial bands and the Selma braes band furnished the music. In the evening the people were addressed by Rev. McMahon, of Muncie, who made a very fine speech on the tariff. Club.Roome at 8helbyvllle. Cpecial te the Indianapolis Journal. Shelbtville, Sept. 10. The Republican club of this city opened to the publio on Saturday evening its handsome club-rooms, in the Y. M. C A. buildinc- Tbe crowd which attended was three times as large as tbe headquarters would hold, and extended out into the street The meetincr in front of the building, was presided over by Mr. E. S. Fowell. president of the club, and short speeches were made by Attorney-general Michener, Mike Cooney, D. L. Wilson, Cant. Harry S. Byers, Ed Chadwick and Thomas 13. Adams. The rooms are beautifully decorated and will be kept open eaeh day and evening until after the election. Campaign documents will be distributed freely from'this place and meetings for the next sixty days held in the rooms. One of the features of the meeting on Saturday night wss the address of ex-Councilman Cooney, lection boss on the "Big- Four" road, who declared the railroad men would be for Harrison by a large per cent, and took no stock in the false charges that he was unfriendly to their interests in tbe strikes of 187. Also, that tt-9 Irish of the United States were leaving the Democratio party every day and are as enthusiastic for Harrison as they were for Blaine inlSSl. Wells Connty Republicans. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BturrroN-, Sept. 10. On Saturday afternoon the Republicans of this (Wells) county held a mass convention at Curry's Opera-house, for the purpose of nominating a county ticket. Owing to the fact that the Republicans are greatly in the minority, these conventions heretofore have been more of a formality than real. Not so this time. When the convention was called the hall, which will accommodate between 400 and 500 people, waa paeked with an enthusiastio crowd. Nomination were made with great care, and a Strong ticket put in the field. Although the Republicans cannot expect to elect their ticket in the county, they are confident they can break the back of the large Democratic majority, ao great is the disaffection among Democrats. After the ticket had been nominated the eon veotion was addressed by Hon. W. S. Ken-, worthy, of Iowa, who has been a leading Greenbacker of that State. His remarks were well received, and, taking all in all, it was the greatest convention Republicans have ever held in the county. A Thin Democratic Scheme. Special to the lndianapells Journal. Evansville, Sept. 10.A special to the Ev ansville Journal from Mount Vernon, Ind., says that a stranger has been there trying to induce colored men to go to Tennessee to work on a railroad tunnel, offering to pay their passage and $1.60 per day if they would obligate themselves to stay two months. He represented himself to be a Kentucky Republican, and said he didn't want any Democrats to go, as they couldn't be trusted. The fellow carried two big pistols in his belt. When asked to show his authority, he polled out a roll of money and said that ought to be satifactory. The whole scheme was too thin to dceive anybody.

The Judge diseased the tariff auestion in a logical, eloquent manner. He also briefly discussed State and county affairs in a masterly way. CoL J. T. Ilryer at Camden, ffpecial to the Indianapolis Journal. Camden, Sept 10. A more forcible and convincing argument was never delivered in Camden than that which Col. James T. Bryer, of the Logansport Journal, gave people here on Saturday night It Teas clean-cut argument, free from abuse, and fairly bristling: with telling facts. In his speech, Mr. Bryer contrasted England and America, the one the representative free-trade country, the other the protective cation, picturing the condition of the people in both countries.

HURIAL CEF0C3I. An Energetic Protest Against Modern Efforts to I)efeat tin Processes of !atore. New York, Sept 20. The Rev. Frederick Lawrence, vicar of Weitow, York, England, and honorable secretary of the Church of England Burial, Funeral and Mourning Reform Association, preached yesterday in Grace ChapeL Mr. Lawrence has come to New York in the interest of the burial reform association. His sermon yesterday was on the folly of carefully constructing a box for dead bodies as if in the hope that the inevitable destination of nature may be avoided or delayed. Said he: "The burial reform association asks what reason there is for such folly. The burial service requires that earth be given back to earth, but nothing of the sort is done in the prevalent mode of burial. By the intervention of strong coffins and the like the bodies of the dead are prevented from undergoing the very changes which should be ex pected and welcomed. The question that concerns us is, shall we let kindly nature do her work properly and with benefit to tbe living, or shall we say in our impotent folly, stand aside and do not interfere with our bekn nines? Mother nature is a potent chemist, and, just as a human chemist can, by skillful combination and arrangement, make a harmful or harmless body out of materials alike ia their oriein, so she can in like manner work for good or evil The earth is the great natural deodorizing medium, and is able to aet as sueh, mainly because, being porous in combination, it allows the process of cxidation to po on within it. Consequently, if the dead body be so placed that the oxygen cf the air can pet at it, the soil, the products of deeay can reach plants which are growing in the soil above, and the body is gradually and harmlessly dissolved by natural processes. And it stands to reason that if we resolve on giving these natural processes fair play we shall put our dead into crffina which, whilst enabling us to bury tbem with all reveronceand decency, will yet enable the oxidizing processes to take place. But this is just what, under onr existing methods of burial, we do not do. Wo encase the dead in strong coffins and often bury them in brick vaults. There the inevitable decay is retarded, but not prevented. Noxious eases escaping have a chanee of doing barm, instead of being at once turned to good account. The fact is. conventionality steps in and puts us in an utterly false position from which the tbe Chureh of England and Funeral Reform Association aims at delivering us, and this the society pro poses to do on lines distinctly laid down in the Chnrcb ot England Term for the burial of the dead." Mr. Lawrenee proposed to induce the minis ters or his church to hold a conference on the snbject. . Steamship News. Glasgow, Sept. 10. Arrived: Phoenician.' Havee, Sept. 10.

While waiting for repairs to be made, freight trsin No. 37, which had been following the spe cial, thundered down the grade at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour, and. although warning was given, it was impossible to avert the collision. The locomotive of the freight plunged into the rear coach of the special, wrecking four cars, two or them being compioteiy oemousnea. The excursionists had notice of the impending danger, and ail succeeded in getting out of the cars before the crash came, but as they hurried down tbe embankment the wrecked coaches rolled down upon them, killing four persons outright and injuring twenty-five others more or less seriously.

To-morrow more than 100,000,000 Russians will celebrate the nine hundredth anniversary of the conversion of their ancestors to Christianity and civilization, and do honor to the memory of St. Vladimir, the Prince or Grand Duke who was mainly instrumental in reclaiming them from paganism. In most Western countries the commemoration of a peaceful revolution of this kind for it was effected entirely without) bloodshed would assume the form of a religious rather than a political or national festival. In Eastern countries, however, religion and politics are tbe woof and warp of one texture', and they have be so closely interwoven at all periods of Oriental history that it would be absolutely impossible to separate them, and no easy matter to ssy where tbe one begins and tbe other ends. And in tbis resnect, among others, Russia is emphatically an Eastern nation, whose earliest literary monument is a fragment of a Bible translation, whose most cherifbed traditions are of the emaciating fasts, the innumerable genuflexions, and the other self-inllieted torments of austere monks and self-denying anchorites, and whose greatest men aspired to be nullities on earth and saints in heaven. Carlyle was never tired of repeating that the gospel of Jean Jacques Rousseau and of his numerous followers, whose names are inscribed in large letters in the history of tbe French revolution, was a poor, cheerless doctrine and very unwholesome spiritual food for these who nourished their souls therewith; and there are many, no doubt, who, with a certain show ot reasoo, will say the same of that form of Christianity which St Vladimir imposed upon h!s subjects. But those who are so ready to cast stones are not always the people who look the most carefully to tbe materials of which their own dwellings are consttucted, and many of them belong to that class of religious men who, as Colton said, will wrangle for religion, write for it, fizht for it die for it, anything but live for it St Vladimir was, in the fullest sense of the term, a man of the time, as much as Ignatius Lcyolu, and he succeeded in rendering his soul as foul as an Augean stable before be turned on the stream of Christianity by which he hoped to wash away the accumulated guilt of years. St Vladimir, Prince of Kiev, mieht with truth have pleaded guilty to mo3t of the crimes known and practiced in his day, and in most respects he beat the record. Polygamy, it is true. was not even a peccadillo in those rude times; but Brigham Young and' his most zealous disciples would turn pale to hear of the heroic virtues St Vladimir practiced in this direction. Solomon alone of earthly princes eelipsed him. unce converted, nowever. his reformation was thorough and lasting. It may be reasonably doubted whether his preparation for baptism was oi a gina wmcn would meet the approbation of a devout Roman Catholic or commend itself to a sober Anglican of our own times. aacrmce, it is said, is tbe nrst element or re ligion, and Vladimir began by sacrificing those whom he deliberately destined tobe theevancellzers of Russia: he declared war against

Grecoo as tho only way of obtaining froa that

eon o try gospel preachers which was not utterly beneath the dignity of a Prince of Kiev. He spread fire and sword along his triumphat route, sparing neither age nor sex, and when at last he came to an important town In the Crimea which, closing its gates against him, impeded his progress, he humbly fell upon his knees before the walls and with childlike simplicity offered up the following ardent prayer, which an aneient Russinn chronicle has handed down for the edification ot his descendants: "Grant me, O God, to storm this city, that se X may carry away therefrom Christians and priests te enlighten me and my people, and to bring into my kingdom the true religion. Amen." There is a point at which grand and childlike simplicity deserves another name; but those whe may be inclined to doubt tbe sincerity of Vladimir would do well to remember that Laotantius, a father of tbe Christian Church, after having denounced in no measured terms the ineffable folly of the Romans, who adored numberless gods, blessed his stars that Christiana adored no more than three, whom, for the information of his adversaries, he distinguished as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit Kiev, with its deep, broad river, its fascinating legends, its Rusalki or moon-loving waternymphs, with their wavy, moist hair and earnest longing for mortal converse, was the capital of Vladimir's dominions, and is the fitting eeuter of the Pan-Russian festival of to-morrow. It was here that Vladimir's son Yaroslav erected a temple to the God of the Christians, tbe cele

brated Cathedral of St Sophia. It was also in Kiev that St Anthony is said to have founded in the ninth century tbe famous Petschersky Monastery, within the walls of which the gorgeously-decorated Church of the Assumption rars aloft its aeven turret and golden cupolas high above the bodies of more than a hundred saints which lie in the catacombs below. This sacred spot is the Kaaba of Russian Orthodoxy, as Kiev is its Mecca, This is the goal toward which tens of thousands of devout zealous Christians wend their toilsome way every year from the remotest points of the empire, walking by day, aleeping in the fields and on the highways at night, living on the charity of tbe poorest of tbe poor, doing battle witn tbe wild beasts and the still wilder elements, and borne up by the thoueht of the recompense that awaits them the inestimable privilege of offering up their prayers in the thrice holy shrine of the Petschersky. Farmers Protected. Pittsburg Chreoicle. Nearly all sorts of agricultural products are protected, and the free-trade talk addressed to the farmer is bosh, nothing more, nothing less. To tell the truth, the farmer is better protected than tbe manufacturer. Just look at the following list of duties on farm products.' And it should be borne in mind by our farmers that but for this duty our neighbors to the north could come in and compete with them. Here is a memorandum made up by the Philadelphia North American of some of the duties on farm products: Animals, live, 20 per cent ad valorem. Hams and bacons, 2 cents per pound. Cheese, 4 eents per pound. Butter. 4 cents per pound. Lard. 2 cents per pound. Wheat, 20 cents per bushel. Rye and barley, 10 eents per bushel. Barley, pearled, patent or hulled, i cent per pound. Barley malt, 20 cents per bushel of thirty-four pounds. Indian eorn or maize, 10 cents per bushel. Oats, 10 cents per bushel. Corn meal, 10 eents per bushel of 48 punds. Oatmeal, i cent per pound. Rve flour, cent per ponnd. Wheat flour, 20 per cent ad valorem. Potato or eorn starch, 2 cents per pound; riee stArch, 2 cents per pound; other starch 2 J cents per pound. Rice, cleaned, 21 cents per pound; uncleaned, li cent per pound. Rice flour and riee meal, 20 per cent ad valorem. Hay, $2 per ton. Honey, 20 cents per gallon. Hons, 8 cents per pound. Milk, preserved or condensed, 20 per eent ad valorem. Fickeli and sauces, 33 pe? cent, ad valorem. Potatoes, 15 cents per bushel cf 60 pounds. Vegetables, 10 per cent ad valoremVegetables, prerared or preserved, 30, per cent ad valorem. Vinegar, 7J cents per gallon. Peanuts, 1 cent per pound; shelled, 1 cent per pound. Raisins. 2 cents per pound. That is not a bad list, and it continues tbroush other products. The farmers teem to be pretty well taken care of. An Ingenious Biblical Tltcory Spoiled. Washinrton Special. Inquiries have come here by letter from per sons m various parts of the country, chif fy students of the Bible, with regard to an article, ostensibly from a scientific source, which has been going tbe rounds of the press. The strik ing statement is contained in this publication taat tne shittim wood mentioned in the Hebrew Scriptures as used for the building of Noah's ark has been discovered "within a radius of sixty miles of Nashville, Tenn.," and that it appears to be the only home of this timber on the face of the earth. Some ot the inouirers have gone so far as to suggest that possibly the diseovery may throw some light on the eariy history of this continent as tbe abode ot man. and on the question whether the American Indians are nos degenerate descendants of the lest tribes of Israel. Tbe underlying idea in ore of these ingenious theories is that somehow. Noah will be shown to have been an Aa erica n aborigine, and that that part of bis progeny who afterward settled this continent were merely the descendants of a wanderer returning to the home of their ancestor. All tais speculation is knocked in the head. however, by the statement made at the Agri cultural Department erst, that the so-called shittim tree is found In a number of places in Arkansas and sprinkled over the Southwest generally; seeond. that it never attains a size whieh woald enable it to be used for marine or other substantial forms of architecture: and. finally, that there is no evidence whatever that the wood known popularly in this country ae shittim is the esme as, or oven related to, the shittim of the Bible. Tbe name seems to have been given to it quite arbitrarily, doubtless by some unscientific settler who either could find no better designation by whieh to distinguish it from ether trees with which be was familiar, or fancied tbat he discerned some resemblance in it to the Oriental shittim, as he had heard it described.
