and asked him to bring live or six friends w ith him. Mr. Felton could not believe his ears, but Mr. Reese repeated the invitation and it was accepted. The same day Mr. Felton, six friends aud Mr. Reese went to the restaurant ami dineel sumptuously, eating the most expensive dishes ami drinking the choicest wines. Mr. Reese w as not seen to pay the bill, howen er, and it -if terwards turneel out that he had obtained a judgment against the restaurant keeper, which the man was unable to pay, having nothing in the world but his stock, so Mr. Reese was constraiueel, as he expresseel it, to "take it out in eating." Tnis was the only time that he was ever known to treat anybody to anything. At the time of the great excitement in

San Francisco over the Limautour suit, j Mr. Reese made himself somewhat consnicuouslv unpopular. It will be remctu- !

bored that Limautour claimed the greater part of the City of San Francisco under an alleged Mexican grant, and began suit to get possession of ihe property. When the case came up it was charged that Limautour had foiged certain documents, by value of which he made his claim. Criminal proceedings were instituted against him. and he w as arrested and put under NiO,lAX) bonds. IS'oonewoulel go bail for him, ami Mr. Reese came forward, signed his bonds, and he was releaseel. There was believed to be some mysterious reason for this action, but nobody ever discovered what it was, and

Limantour afterwards withdrew his claim. About twenty years ago a San Francisco woman, of doubtful position, sued Mr. Reese for ijO.OOO damages for breach of promise of marriage. It was universally believed that the suit was only a trick to extort money, but the jury nevertheless, seeing that it was the w ealthy Reese who

was defendant, gave her a verdict for if o,000. From that time Mr. Reese was

as much alraid ot all womankind as old Mr. Welder himself was of the "viddeis." Mr. Reese was never known to keep a horse or carriage unless he got it accidentally iu trade. He would wait 10 minu'es at a street corner before getting into a ear, in the hope of meeting an acquaintance wito would pay his fare. When tauuteel by a friend one day in regard to his miserly habits, he said: "Well, 1 can't help it; 1 know it's foolish, but it's a disease I've got," In all matters not connected with money he was a man of great intelligence and liberal view s. In appearance he was very distinguished, being about six feet two inches tall, of line figure and broad forehead. It is believed that Mr. Reese has left all,

or a greater part, of his fortune to the Jewish charitable institutions. It is known that when L0 was in IS'ew York recently he promised Mr. Jesse Scligmau to leave $100,000 to the Hebrew Orphan Asylum of this city, and other bequests to the amount of $110,000 are reported. His only known relatives in this country are his sisters, Mrs. Rosentield and Mrs. Rosenberg, of Chicago, the wives of the senior members of the wealthy firm of Ros.enfeld, Rosenberg cc Co., of that city, and Mr. Frank, a wealthy merchant of St. Louis, the son of a dead sister. A friend of the family said yesterday to the

was resurected by his enemy, and, the

! effect of the plant passing away, he came

to lite again, but without reason or speech, his enemy not knowing the counteracting

plant, and his enemy made a servant oi him, ami he toiled every day in the holds till one day an Obiad priest who hated this man's master applied the proper plant, and reason ami speech returned. The Obiaels, when children cannot be procured, sacriliceel sheep, and tor this reasou you cannot hire a Haytian to eat mutton. The Obiads are believed by the llaytians to 11 y about at the hour of midnight, aud they say that at such times they emit fire from their mouths.

Fact and Fancy in Religion. SnringSeUl (Maes.) Republican. Second Adventism is having a run just now among the western (jhurches. It took an impulse from Mr. Moody, who is a firui believer iu the doctrine, and preached it a little in Chicago. Since then it has won a good many adherents, among them several prominent Chicago preach

ers. It is one of the uppermost themes in religious circles at the West, and seems likely to rouse a good deal more attention and discussion. The pharse of the belief now most current discards the fantastic attempts to lix a date for the great event. What is believed is substantially this: That Christ is to return to earth in bodily form aud make Jerusalem the seat of his visible kingdom. He will there gather the Jews around him. and the rest of the world will be called to a speedy choice whether to accept or reiect him. His

enemies will be destroyed or banished; then comes the reign of the saints, the millennium. Until this event the woi hi is growing steadily worse, and the only substantial good in it is the snatching

men by immediate conversion like brands

will, at the outset, accent the INew lesta

ment as a tinal authority. jSow the .New Testament bears on its face a great deal

more support of the early establishment

ot such a visible kingdom than is commonly supposed. We believe it is nut only on the face, but in the real meaning of the 2iew Testament writers that this support is to be found. The church iu that age elid look for a second visible ceiiniug of Christ, anel a very speedy one too; and there are strong maiks that this expectation was shared by the New Testament writers. To say frankly that these writers were mistaken is what few people in the church are prepared to do, though

authority ot some orthodox scholars may be adduced for this conclusion. We sus

pect therefore that at the outset of the cerates the Second Adventist will gain ground; aud that one ultimate consequence of their opponerts' studies may be some revision of their ideas as to New Testament infallibility. Rut scholarly debate, whatever lines it may take, will hardly serve as an immediate or effectual check to Second Adventism. That belief .is apt to spring more or less directly from some predisposition toward the unreal and fanciful element in religion. In the leaching of most
