when a child, and his mother, a devout Catholic, like inanjrof the lire ton, encouraged tier son id his student disposition, fche had some property, and, with tne thrift that marks the inhabitant of IJretague, ib inde it go very far. Ernest was the youngest of half a dozen children wtio received hut an ordinary education, while he his life, as his mother put it, being consecrated to God was singled out for the best and highest instruction he could get. Intellectually, be was the flower of the family. Ills mind was shown at the outset to be of a superior order: it was quick, comprehensive, penetrating, retentive. The energy and force generally employed by boys in violent sport were with bitu directed to thought and study. lie really had no boyhood; be was a man in feeling and love of mental acquisition ere he had reached his teens. EFFECT OF A LIBERAL EDUCATION. Ernest began his- studies in the ecclesiastic college of his native town, but was afterward sent to i'ari. where he conld enjoy evey educational advantage. He entered the Seminary of St Nicholas da Chsrdonnet, then conducted by the distinguished Abbe Dupanloup. Having remained there for threeyears. he passed nest to the House of iesylMaison d'Issv), a branch establishment of St. bulpice. taking a course of philosophy with the Abbe Magmar, whose exact and lomcal method he was of the Scotch school had a wholesome influence in forming his mind. He at the same time studied Hebrew assiduously, his studies furnishing the base of his later work, "Comparative History of the Semitic Languages," which reoeived from the Institute the V olney prize. Meanwhile, the faith of the young seminarian had not insreased; in fact, it bad consciously diminished through his acquaintance with philosophy and, the Oriental languages. His reasoning and analytic understanding, fostered and strengthed by Magnier, had Impelled him more and more to intellectual, freedom, and oy the time he entered upon his coarse of theology he was too critical to accept what he was taught. He perceived very clearly that it largely belonged to the past, and that many of tne dogmas were entirely opposed to reason and common tense. At the age of twenty he onenly expressed bis determination not to-be .a priest, but the ecclesiastics of St Sulpice, knowing that he had rare talents and would be likely to distinguish himself in the literary world, were unwilling to lose their hold upon him. ThSy proposed a middle coarse, Doping to win him over by skillful management and adroit flattery, as is the custom of the Catholic priesthood, particularly of the Jesuits, but he wes too firmly intrenched in rationalism to be in any peril. He remained at the seminary some time, and profited by its secular teachings, without being in the least atieoted by its religious doctrines. Having seen through their design, and feeling that they mast be disappointed in their anticipations, and that bis independence was somewhat involved, he quitted St. bolpice, resolved to lead the life of a thinker and scholar untrammeljd by any other considerations than those of troth. The Archbishop of Paris tried to tempt him by the otter of a professorship in a new institution, then forming, in which theology was, in a measure, to be subordinated to the spirit of modern inquiry, bat Kenan peremptorily refused it. Jlissacer-' dotal superiors finally persuaded him to accept the position of assistant professor at the Stanislaus College, but. after remaining there three weeks, he resigned in the face of their entreaties. STRUGGLE AND RECOGNITION'. His material interests all lay with the prelates and the adherents of the churoh; bat his strength of will and character desided him to break with them and to do Ms own work. This demanded no little courage, for he was poor and as yet unknown, having no friends in the great irorldtoaid him until he should establish limself. He had burned his ships, and he Iras aware of the fact. Material sustainment was what he needed now, and this he must have. He looked for a place until he found a boarding-house keeper iu the Faubourg St. laques who agreed to provide him with board and clothes in consideration of certain services. He reserved a portion of bis time, which he employed in studying the Oriental languages, in giving private instruction, and in writing to some of the minor journals. His earnings were insignificant, not more than 2u francs a week; but on this he lived and kept a small lurplus. He was then twenty-three, without influence, friends or hope of position. What a contrast between that and his place at the time of his death the first Orientalist, a world-renowned scholar and philosopher, one of the most eminent of souteuiporaueous Frenchmen. And all this he owed as ranch to insuperable diligence and energy as to native genius. At the same time be took his degrees in the university and was pronounced first in the competition for philosophy. On that ccasion he delivered a lecture on Frovileuce, revealing the tendency of his new Opinions, which was regarded as a learned aud original eftort and elicited much praise. At twenty-eight he was appointed to a position in the department of matin icriDts in the National Library, and two fears later be was chosen member of the Academy of Inscriptions in place of Anguste Thierry. He. had already written 3tauy valuable papers for the Kevue Asisluice. Journal des Debats and Kevne des Deux Mondes. and was now widely accepted as a prominent savant. . in lstXJ ,he w.as then thirty-soven he was sent by Louis Napoleon on an exploring tour to Syria and Phtenicia, where he ipent two years with exceeding advantage to himself and the. whole guild of scholars. On his return ho published several volumes detailing the results of his mission, and was appointed to the chair of Hebrew In the College of France, to which be had long aspired and for which he was signally lit ted. His opening lecture, though expressed in the most delicate terms, and with the sincerest regard for those who might ditler with him, caused a graat commotion, and uroused the entire clerical juirty against him. Naturally enough, too. lor he had the audacity to declare, though in a most scholarly and conscientious way, his disbelief, with his reasons therefor, in the divinity of Jesus Christ. The young men of France and all the philosophers here applauded his effort and his candor; but this only - augmented the excitement, which knew no bounds. The Minister of Fublic Instruction, though secretly in sympathy with the lectprer, felt constrained to act in the matter. After vainly trying to allay the storm, and after indicating to the professor that he might resume his course when the pnblie mind had grown quiet on the subject, he discovered that the clericals would not discontinue their bowling until Kenan had been removed. To no purpose had the learned professor issued a pamphlet defending in a masterly manner his right as an occupant of his chair to thoroughly discuss in his teachings the highest problems of religious history and to solve them according to the latest data of science. Louis Napoleon was unwilling to offend the church, and to appease its tumultuous upholders the conscientious scholar was compelled to resign. An important post in the National Library was tendered him as a compensation for the grievous wrong done him. but he declined to accept it, and his host of admirers applauded his firmness. TIIK L1FK OF JESUS. ' His next work exercised a prodigious influence, and gave him a world-wide reputation. It was translated into nearly every modern tongue; it tilled both hemispheres with fervent discussion. No book of the era has created such a noise; the echoes it awakened have not yet subsided, and that was more than twenty years ago. It was the "Vie de Jesus." an amplification and elaboration of bis introductory lecture at the College of France and the result of bis careful, paiustaking studies in Syria. The essays, pamphlets, and books that it called forth would make a largo library, ana they were written in dozens of languages and in every vein, from dry argument to fierce invective. Most of the seats of learning censured it, from the college for the 1'ropagation of the Faith, at Home, to the intensely orthodox College ot New Jersey at Princeton. It was the first part of his great work. tbe "Origitfvs du Christianisine," for which his entire intellectual life and study had been a preparation. Christianity was unfolded by him us having a wholly human aud natural origin, the growth of circuoistauce and influence of the times, the spontaneous evolution of past menial conditions, with their historio accompaniment. The "Lit of Jeans." as well as the 'History of the Apostles,7' 'Paul," and "Antichrist." the complement of the work, was written in the most eloquent and reverential spirit. Not a word of harshness, not a syllable of scodiing. not an emphasis to giveotlense. Jesus was beautifully painted, touchingly described. Hh was portrayed as a spiritual hero, as a being completely superior to hit surround

ings, wholly in advance of his ace. But his divinity was denied, and the denial nacked alike by learning and by logic. It was claimed that he never assumed to be the Son of God, save in tbe sense that we are all such as being the offspring of nature, and that he would have regarded the assumption as rank blasphemy. M. Kenan was the great apostle of the delioate; he upheld this waning fashion on every occasion. His mission was to ssy delicate things, to plead the cause of intellectual good manners. Among M. Kenan's works are 'Studies in Religious History." "The 13xk of Job." "Philosophical Dialogues." "History of the Origiu of Christianity," begun in 1&'3 and completed in seven volumes in -The Evangelists." "The Apostles' and "Marcus AureliiiB." Of his great "History of Israel Before the Birth of Christ," but two volumes were published. The manuscript has been prepared, however. He married at thirty-seven the daughter of Henri Schener, the artist, and his wife was amiable, clever and accomplished; Kenan himself did not look like a Frenchmanthe Bretons are not Gauls but rather like a northern German, with an admixture of Hebrew blood. His features were large, especially his nose; his gray hair was thin, his eyes were light and mild, bis face plain and inclined to heaviness, his tiguie square and somewhat ungraceful 'But his voice was low and his manners very Ken tie. He walked like an American Indian, and his behavior was caressingly kiLd. In his mouth French was a new language, a language of perfel't purity and sweetness, like his written style. To the stranger who met him on his way to the Academy he did not appear to be the Man of Sin, whom the clericals, in their theological rage, declared him to be. , WORTHY niS FATHER'S NAME.

Thomas Spurgeon, Son of the preat Pulpit Orator Preaches a Powerful Sernjon. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. London, Oct. 2. There was an enormous assemblage at Spurgeon's Tabernacle, this evening, to listen to the preaching of Thomas Spurgeon, son of the late eminent pulpit orator. The sermon was one of groat power, and it cannot but be admitted that Thomas Spurgeon is a preacher of originality and force, who does not depend upon the prestige of a great name. Tne audience was a critical one, and this point adds significance to the many expressions of approval and to tbe few of dissatisfaction which were heard. It is evident that Thomas's popularity has been steadily increasing among the admirers of his famous father, while on tbe other hand there is a great deal of criticism upon tbe manner in which James Spurgeon, brother of the doceased, continues to ignore Thomas in public and in private. Thomas does not seem to be making any obtrusive effort to secure the succession to the pastorate himself, though there is a general understanding that he considers it in a sense bis right, and bis friends are making an active canass in his behalf. There will be a special meeting of the church on Oct. 7 for the purpose of discussing the eeltctlon of preachers for the immediate fntnro, but tbe question of a permanent appointment will not come'up. The evangelist Moody soon begins a series of meetings, and many say he would not object to being connected with the tabernacle as a frequent preacher there, IUzh-Jnwping Horses. Srecial to the Indianapolis Journal. RovEt. Oct. 2. Twenty-six horses competed to-day in tbe world's championship leaping sweepstakes for 25,000 francs and the sate receipts.

The bar was raised two inches twice, and then one inch to seventy, at which height it was cleared only by the French horses Corset, Nancy and New Moon, the Spanish horse Alpine, and the English horses Chicago. Tally Ho and Las Mania. Xew Moon, riddenjby 1'nrotta.and Lis Mania,ridden by Stevenson, cleared tbe bar at seventy-two. Tbe others failed. Las Mania then won by clearing the bar vat seventy-four. Subsequently. Las Mania, on exhibition, cleared the bar at seventy-eight inches. Js'ew Jesuit General. Special to tbe Indianapolis Journal. Madrid, Oct. 2.

Anti 8tltl Fighting the McCarthyltes. ' Special to the Indianapolis Journal. London, Oct. 2. The recently started movement to raise funds iu America and Australia for the beneiit of the evicted tenants in Ireland, pending the release of the Faris fund, is meeting with opposition from the Tenants' Society, an organization mainly composed of anti-McCartbyites.

Iland-to-Hand Struggle Between Painters cn a Scaffold 2U0 Fet Aboe the Water. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Buffalo, X. Y., Oct. 2. Two painters engaged in repainting the cables and guyropes of the cantilever bridge across Niagara river, bad . swung a slender scaffold two hundred feet above the seething stream on which to do their work. They were both Canadians; one a French-Canadian from' Montreal named Joseph Greaves, the other named William Game. At dusk, yesterday evening, they engaged in a terrific hand-to-hand struggle, in which Greaves nearly lost his life. What started the quarrel no "one knows.- but Gamel lost his temper, grasped a hatchet and threatened to brain his companion. Then ensued a duel, the like of which is rarely described, except in fiction. Greaves grasped the would-be assassin's wrist, but Game! was the stronger and pressed the weaker painter to the edge of tbe scaffold and threatened to hurl him into the river. 'Greaves, to save himself, loosed his bold on Gam el's wrist, and grasped a rope. Three quick, sharp blows were rained on him by the enraged assailaut. Two fell on Greaves's back, and one split open his skull back of the left ear. He staggered, lost his hold and fell, bat was caught between two guy-ropes, where he lay, out of tbe reach of tbe other. With the biood streaming from his cuts. Greaves climbed hand over hand np the cables to the bridge door. Gamel followed, hatchet in hand. Here other workmen interfered and prevented actual murder. It is doubtful if Greaves can survive. Gamel escaped while Greaves, was being attended to by physicians who had been hastily summoned. It is thought by the authorities that be has come to Buffalo. He is a tailor and may ship up the lake. n COCXTY-SEAT WAR. The People of Cultertson and Trenton, Xeb , Fichtinjr lor Possession of the Kecords Culbkrtsox. Neb., Oct. 2. A red-hot countr-eeat war is in progress in tbis county. An injunction was issued and served last Friday on the county officials, by the Supreme Court, not to remove the county records from Culbertson. The county treasurer and cleik, however, disregarded the order of the court, and proceeded to remove tbe records of their offices, but were stopped by the citizens here before many of the records 'were spirited, away. At night a mob attempted to steal the records. when the citizens again defeated their object. To-day a posse of tbe citizens of Trenton, led by the county treasurer and tbe deputy clerk, again made a raid on tbe conrt-bouse aud succeeded in loading a portion of the records, when the citizens again interfered, aud a number of shots were fired and the Trenton posse retreated in hot haste. Tbe town is iu a fever of excitement, and more trouble is anticipated. The sheriff has telegraphed the Governor lor Stato militiato quell the disturbance. THE RACE-TKACK JIU&T GO. So Saj8 Rev. Thomas Iiixon, Jr., the Xew York Kemational Pulpit Orator. ' . ' Nkw York, Oct 2. Before his regular sermon of the day the Kev. Thomas Dixon, jr., delivered another of his characteristic talks. To-day his subject was the Gartield race-track. 'He said in part: "Gartield Park, in Chicago, has. for years, openly defied the moral sentiment of the Nation, it has been an open slaughter-pen in whioh machood, honor, trnth, decency and virtue was daily butchered. It was the favored resort of tbe most desperate classes of the scum world. The people of Chicago were recently shocked at the foul murder of two policemen by a desperate gambler on those grounds, and if the people of Chioago tolerate such a hell hole in their midst, wet with the blood of the officers of the law, they should take down their statue in Haymarket square, and confers that civic order ban failed after all. Gartield track is typical of the race-track of to-day. The whole dirty business is of the same piece. The conscience of tbi Nation has outgrown it. The race-track must pons tbe lottery has gone. The plain fact is that the lottery is a small evil compared with tho races." AT NEW IUKK QUARANTINE. La Gascogne Arrives from Cherbourg with All on Hoard Well Other Steamers. Quarantine, S. L.Oct. 2.

My fellow-titizens. there in no prominent place in tbe politics of American civilization fort a party that bases its claims for confidence noon the failures and discouragements of tbe people. There is no honorable, and permanent, and successful place for any party in America that appeals to the prejudices, and the passious, and the ignorance of the people and bases its claims upon the failures of tbe people themselves. That has been the history of the Democratic leaders for thirty years. Their arsenal and their armament have been predictions of failure of Itepublican measures and policies. Every Kepublican policy and measure for thirty years was predicted to be a failure by the Democratic party. You remember the war was going to be a fajlure; the issues of the greenbacks a failure; the resumption of specie payments a failure; tho payment of tbe bonds in coin, and now the taritf la of 1890 is to be a failure. lApplause.

TIIC CANADAY SU1CIDK. Detectives of A I Kind Trjlnc to Unravel Its Msterius F atures. WanhiDRton Special to Pittsburg Dispatch. The strange case of Col. V. P. Canaday, who was for . vears tho efficient and popular Serjeant-at-arms of the United States Senate, and whose dramatic suicide has been the sensation of tbe week, promises to be the eeosatiou for some days to come, on account of the mystery surrounding the matter, and the actions of persons connected with the Colonel in business. There is no doubt of the suicide. The motive which prompted it is the mystery. Canaday is said to have had no partners in business. Mi Clagett, who did all his ty pe-writing,and was his contidentialclerk, asserts that she drew up all of the Colonel's agreements, and that neither; J. Q. A. Houghton ncr one West, who claims to have had partnership relations with Canaday, tell tbe truth. Houghton attempted to assume all authority over the etlects aud fought with tbe agent appointed by tho courts to take au inventory to prevent him from controlling the rooms, papers and sate. He claims to have $2,000 in tho safe, which he had deposited the evening previous to the suicide, but is not able- to tell where the money came from or why he put it in that safe. It seems that Canaday loaned money for Houghton and himself to clerks in the departments, at 10 per cent, a month. They bad been rather severe on some delinquents among these borrowers, and Houghton had assaulted one of them a few .days before the buicide. A number of these uotes from these clerks were in the safe, but none of them can now be found, and bits of the charred paper in the grate show that they belonged to notes of tbe character given, but whether to blank notes or notes with signatures, has not been discovered. It has been held that the Colonel broke a wiudow of his ofiice andlied himself to convey the impression of a burglary. It comes out to-day that voices and scuffling were heatd iu Canaday' rooms in the email hours of the night. An expert glazier is assured that -the glass of the window must have been broken by a blow trout the outside, on account of the manner of the chipping of the fragments that remained in the window. Tne whereabouts of at least one of the persons whe claim to have had business association with Canaday are not accounted for at tbo time when the voice were beard in the room of tbe Colonel, and bis actions since then have clearly indicated that he knows more than he has toM. Houizhton's treatment of Canaday is said, by the inmates of the house where Cauaduy had his rooms, to have been of the most exasperating, if not brutal, character, in virtually assuming ownership of Canaday end all his effects. Caxaday was heard to say . frequently that tloughton wonld drive him to do something dreadful, but whether against his own person or that of Ilon'ghton is uot even guessed at. In all that has come out there is not the shadow of a reasonable explanation wby Canaday was driven to suicide, exc ept that he was suddenly afflicted with insanity. The insanity theory is well disposed of by the terms of a note written to a friend just before the act, which ihows that the selfmurder was premeditated, but apparently only as a thought that came alterthe inexplicable events of the mornlntr. His confidential clerk asserts that his affairs were in good condition. There was no reason for bis mutilation of any of tbe papers destroyed. He could gain nothing by if, nr could he cover up anything whose exposure would have damaged him. Itisa case as baffling and mystical as Foe's "Murders iu the Rue Morgue," or "The Mystery of Marie Koget." It is expected, however, that some light will be thrown upon it in a few day s,as there is more official, private, professional and amateur detective work being done npon it than npon any other case ever known in the sensational annals of the capital. AN ENGLISH HOWL OF ANGUISH. Sir. Cleveland's Election th Only Hope- for Ilrltlfth Manufactures. Llvcrpo-1 Echo, fcept 16, 1892. The outlook for Hritish trade is decidedly not encouraging just at present. The eiiect of the "stone wa!P of Hand which our cousins in the United States "a little more than kin and less than kind" have erected around their territory avowedly to keep out Hritisfi manufactures is overy day becoming more disastrously apparent in this country. Already Saltaire. that once proud model of an English industrial community, is as good as gone. The Welsh tin-plate industry is ruined, and the plush trade df Hudderstield is about to be transferred bodily act os.s tbe Atlantic to a point within the taritt wall. The cotton trade of Lancashire is so depressed that no one knows what may come next, and consequently all brisk en terprise is strangled aud a general feeling of apprehension prevails as regards what tbe morrow may bring forth. The latent evidence ot the. injury done to British trade by the McKiuley tantl which, while uot enriching the United States population, but only tbe interested manufacturers, makes us on this side poor, indeed is afforded by the balance-sheet of tbe Steel Company of Scotlaud, which sbows'a balanon on the wrong .side of no less than iJlo.000. Two questions which will soon force' themselves upon tbe miuds of tbe working people, to whom the continued maintenance and prosperity of. our industries is the. very bread of life, are:- How long is this to last; and how may it be remedied? It is extremely doubtful whether the people of the United States will have either the foresight or tbe courage to abrogate within any reasonable period a law which tLfey are told by many of theirmost trusted leaders is the necessary basis of their eventual industrial supremacy; and further, for some reason whieb on this side the Atlantic it is diflicult to comprehend, the operation of "twisting .the British lion's tail" appears to be attended with supreme delight to the thoroughbred Yankee, and hardly less so to tbe hybrid agglomeration of races which forms so large a portion of the population of the ltepubho. Undoubtedly failing the success at the presidential polling of Mr. Cleveland, who has pledged bis party to a revenue taritf. the future of British manufactures and of all tbe subsidiary industries depending upon them is dark indeed. No doubt the old country will pull through somehow, an she has done before, but it is to be feared that if the MoKinlev taritt is to be indefinitely maintained it will be at a cost iu sullenng and poverty which is at present impossible to estimate, and it may further involve a permanent lowering of the greatly improved Mandard of comfort which has been attained by the working classes of this country during the present century. Mr. Ilooth ltenders Thanks. B ston Herald. An anecdote is told of Edwin Booth apropos to the late prize-fight, since which, it will be remembered. Corbett has followed bullivan upon the stage. Booth was discussing the matter with Mrs. John Drew a few days since, and after their comment had continued for some time, with more itr less of seriousness. Booth turned aside and, with a quietly sarcastic mile, remarked: "Thank God, the championship remains iu the profession!"

' The Much-Vaunted Chivalry of the South Receive u S1 IliOW. New York Advertiser. General Weaver, the candidate of the People's party for I'resrtient, has lnn forced to give up bis canvass in Georgia He went to that 8tate supposed to be the most progressive and civilized Stat in the fcontb unfertile assurance that he would be kindly received and fairly treated. No hostages were given, as is usually tbe case when men with a mission uo among savages, but General Weaver had reason to believe that, as a man advocating policies which would interest voters, he would meet oouiniou civility. He was mistaken. Had h been a "Yankee Abolitionist'' denoum iug Ironi tbe stump the. killing of negroes and tbe sap firession of their votes lie coujrt not have leen more scandalously abused. At Macon he was met by a mob in front ot his hotel and rotten-egged. His wife was struck on tbe bead with a rotten egg: and the howling rntiians rejoiced over her discomfiture. General Weavef tried thre times to sneak, but he was not permitted to do so. The mob, he says, was not composed of boys and hoodlums, but men alleged reputable citizens of tbe barbarous town. In a note withdrawing from the Georgia canvass General Weaver says that he was subjected, also, to mob interference at AU bany and Atlanta. He declines lo make further appeal to communities which are neither civil nor decent. The people of tbe South have never b-n a tolerant people. Free speech is practically unknown in that section. The man who holds to views which do not meet tbe indorsement of a majority of the residents oi his community i punished. When it is notdoue through a mob it is done through social ana business ostracism. . Sometimes it takes on the more violent form of assassination. General Weaver's experience it not an uncommon one. To the everlasting shame and disgrace of Georgia. De it s:iid, her people seem to be as malignant and as intolerent as they were in the dark days of slavery. Ther will not hearken to unpleasant truths. And it is this lawless, implacable, unreasoning, semi-civilized section which comes pleading to the generous North for alleged protection from mythical force bills. JJah! Cwrtatuly. Pcion Transcript.
