What constitutes the man that id to rise again? Does the scripture teach that our physical body shall rise again? There are a few texts that, read alone, ieeci to imply that it does, but when read with their context and compared to the ether scriptures they lxse that significance. Take the three passages in the old testament moat often quoted as evidence, Ipaiah, xxvi, 19: Ezekiel xxxvii, 1-10, and Daniel xii, 2. The first two refer to the moral deadness of the Jews, before the removal to Babylon. See Ezekiel xxxvii, 11, end the latter to a similar state at the coming of Christ. Not to the end of time, for by comparing the eixth, seventh and eleventh verses of this chapter, Daniel xii, we find that at farthest within 1,200 years from the fall of Jerusalem the prophecy of verse 2 must have been fulfilled. That is by A. D. 1300. The scripture certainly teaches that there is to be a resurrection of the dead. That those who have fallen asleep shall be awakened, tut what is it that sleeps, not the body, for sleep is a state of rest, while ordinarily the body is decomposed. It is the spirit that rests. John saw them under the altar at the opening of the fifth seal, and they were bidden to rest yet at little time. Revelations vi, 9-11. In II Corinthians iv, 10-18, Paul e peak 9 of the outward man decaying, but our inward man renewed day by day, aod says the things that are eeen are temporal, but the thin 23 that are not teen are eternal. Paul beliered that the spirit could exist without the body. See II Corinthians xii, 2: It is the spirit that is in the likeness of God, for God is spirit. John iv, 24: And it is the spirit of man, not the flesh, for that that is born of flesh is flesh, and that which is born of spirit is spirit. John Iii. 6: The spirit is the divine part of man. "it is the spirit that quickens, the fieen profits nothing," John vi, 03. Christ told Martha that whosoever liveth and believeth into Me shall never die. John xi, 2S. 15ut no one will claim that He meant thai the body is immortal. The belief in the resurrection of the body appear? to have originated in Ejjypt and was probably founded upon tbe 'assumption that the body was necessary for the spirit and the Egyptian, took preat pains to preserve tbe body to have it ready for the spirit at the resurrection. It appears that it was from Egypt that the early Christiana pot their belief in the resurrection of the body. We are told that in the resurrection, tcey are as the angels; that spirits have not flesh and nd bonee; that flesh and blood can not inherit the kinglom of Heaven. Luke xx. 06; 21, 29; I Corinthana, 15, 60. I have nsed the revised version in my quotations so far, but shall refer to the Greek in speakin? cf the famous fifteenth chapter of First Corinthians, because there is an idea conveyed in the Greek that is lost in all our versions. In ver.no 1G the Grek is: "If dead ones awake not, not even Christ has been raised. Throughout the chapter, in referring to Christ, the active or passive is used, white in speaking of the believers the middle voice is always used. Like Christ and other apoet'.ee, Paul speaks of death as sleep and the resurrection (Greek, standing or rising up) an awakening. The Greek also im plies a reparation Horn, vi, 11 : "Dead to sin. This is the death he speaks of in yerae 30: "That which thou sowest is not quickened except It die." The vitality most leave the seed if the plant grows. The materia! of the seed remains in the soiL It if only the life that continues in the new plant. 80 the spirit of man must leave the mortal body to be fit for the new State. In verse 44 be tells us there is a natnral body and a spiritual body. In II Cor. V, 1-4 "If the earthly home of our bodily frame be dissolved we have a building of God, a home not made in hands eternal in ihe heavens. For indeed we that are in this bodily frame do eroen, being burdened in that we would not be unclothed but be clothed upon" and further on, "knowing; that while we are at home in the bodr we are absent from the Lord,"

' " ';'

7 s.s and "willing rather to be abfent from the bodr and at home with the Lord. But the body of Christ was raided. Well, suppose it had not been, the disciples could never have recognized Him. Ilia body was all they knew. It appears necessary for His spirit to be in His body to be recognized, but after Ilia ascension, it does not nppear that appeared in the flesh. John mistook Him for an anzel in Fntmos. and Christ told Is'icodemus and nothing has ascended into except that out of the heaven having descended, the Son of man. "Loss Tramp." Rigdon, jDit May 20.

We can boast of civilization and the power we have won la the various fields of solenoe, ta the plowshare and tbe gun; How we've climbed the highest mountain, how the store wo've eounted o'er, Unregardful of the danger which we aaet at every door. We have grappled with the hardships whloh aretle eliuiee impose. And In part at least have managed their secrets to expose.

Folloc k. TO THE POINT. Ladles Most Hot Correspond with Strangers and the Ileasoria Why. II. L. C. Frieni.s "Hamlet" asks, "Should ladies correspond with strangers," and desires members of the club to contribute their opinions. For one I can answer most emphatically, no! How any young lady with the least degree of eelf-reepect, and who places any value whatever upon her fair name and character can for a moment entertain the idea of corresponding with a stranger ia beyond my conception. Would any lady, under any circumstances, consent to accompanying an entire stranger to church, to the theater, or even for a walk? Just the idea of a refined, intelligent lady communicating her thoughts, in a private letter, to an unknown, and possibly a characterless charlatan, whose highest ambition ia the ruin of an innocent woman. Young as well aged ladies cannot guard too sacredly their good name and character. It is all thev possess and once lost cannot be recovered. Too much care and caution cannot be exercised in choosing associates, even among those with whom you have an acquaintance, much lefts can you aflord to close your eyes and disregard the advice of your elders by selecting correspondents whose names appear in fciidational papers seeking the society of thoe whoae homes are locked and barred against them. Don't for one momententertain the idea of a clandestine correspondence or association ; never coo.mit an act or engage in any undertaking that you would be ashamed of in the preeence of those who love you beet, your parents. Two or three marriages, results of a correspondence with "unknown" individuals, have come under the observation of tbe writer, each of which proved miserable failures and brought disgrace to, not only those who were directly concerned, but many innocent persons.

"EVERY WORD TRUE !"

So Says the "Writer of That Famous Letter. Ha Reiterates Hie Statements, Prdee Additional Proof and Clearly Peflaes Ills foal Hon. N. V. Sun. It would be difficult to measure the interest and comment, not to say excitement, which the published letter of Dr. Ii. A. Gann, which appeared in the papers yesterday, has occasioned. The prominence of tbe doctor and the unusual nature of the latter have both tended to add interest to the subject and make it really the Ulk of the town. I called upon Pr. Ounn at his residence. No. 124 West Forty-rerenth street, yesterday afternoon. 1 found the reception room crowded, and it was only afteran hour's waiting that I succeeded in obtaining an interview. Dr. Gunn is a distinguished-looking man, and impressed me et once by his manly beerin? and air of sincerity. I took the seat he courteously offered me, and said: "Are you aware, doctor, ot the commotion your letter has caused?" Dr. Gunn smiled, and replied: "Things out of the ordinary usually cause comment. It is not a common thing for phyaioians to indorse and eordially recommend medicines other than those in tbe Materia iru. History is full of instances of scientists who have indorsed dis coverlet they believe to be valuable, and have been denounced for so doing", and yet these same discoveries are blessing the world today. I hope I have the manhood and courage to be true to my convictions, and that is why I so openly and unberitatinfcly indorse Warner's afe Cure es being the greatest of modern discoveries for the cure of diseases which have ballled the highest skill of the medical profession." 1 was impressed with the earnestness of the doctor, end saw that he meant every word that he said. "How long have you known ef this remedy, doctor?" I asked. "Nearly ten years," he replied. "My attention wae originally called to tht. ?-afe Cure by a serious ease of Lrieht's disease, which waa considered hopeless, and yet, ruuou to my surprise, under its use the patient recovered. I have tried it in other cases since then constantly, and my original faith in its power has been confirmed. I have seen patients recover from mtlammation of the bladder, gravel and 15richt'a disease when all other treatment had failed, and I have fonnd it especially etlioient in all female troubles." "Can you specify any particular cases, doetor?" 1 esked. "That is a delicate thing to do," the doctor replied; "but, as I always keep a written record of my cases, I can accommodate yon." Thereupon the doctor opened his desk and produced his record book. Turning over the leaves he said: "Here is the case of a eentleman who was a great sufferer from intlammation of the bladder of long standing. He had consulted a number of physicians wubout benefit. When first consulted I myself tried the usual methods of treatment, bat without success, and I finally advised him to try Warner's tafe Cure. Ha felt better from the start, and in a few weeks was entirely cured." The doctor turned a few pages further, and then said: "Here is another case. It Is that of a gentleman who had frequent attacks of renal calculi, which, as you know, is gravel forming in the kidneys. He had never been able to prevent these formations, but after an unusually se vere attsok I recommended him to try the Fafe Cure, which he did. and, although it is three years since ha took the remedy, he has never had an attack since. ' The doctor continued to turn tho leaves of his book, and suddenly exclaimed: "Here is a most remarkable case. It is that of a lady who hod suffered for some tims from right's disease. She became enceinte, and about the fourth month suddenly beoame blind, had convulsions and finally fell into a state ot coma, caused by uremio or kidney poison. Several physiciaus who saw her said she could not live, and in this view I fully concurred. As she could still swallow I said, as a last resort, that they might try Warner's 8fe Cure. They did so, and to the hurprise of every one ehe recovered. Mie has sinoe triven birth to a living child, and is perfectly well." "Those are certainly most wonderful cases, doctor," I raid, "aud while I do not for a moment question their authenticity I wouid consider it a great favor if you would give ms their names. I think the importance of the subject would fully justify it." "In the interest of other sufferers I think you are correct," Dr. Gunn finally observed, after a moment's thought, "Hoth the lady and her husi aid are so rejoioed, so grateful, over her recovery that I know she is only too glad to have others hear of it. The lady is Mrs. Lames, wife of the well-known costumer. biie was not only restored, bat is in perfect health today." I thanked the doctor for his courteous reception, for the valuable information imparted, and I feel assured that his generous and humane nature will prevent hint from feeling other than glad at seeing this interview published for the benefit ef euCering humanity. acter, your life and all that life and its blessings mean to those that are doar to you, shun those who are obliged to seek correspondents through the pres, "Ql-ad, jb," Frankfort, Ind., May 14.

My husband has been sick and we have several small children and I had to do something. Mrs. Wymen's success with the plater led me to believe that I could make a little money too. I obtained a plater for 5 and have been plating for the last three weeks, as I could Und the time to leave the house, and have made ?3ti.50. I would not have believed that it was eo easy to make money with the plating machine. Everybody has a little work they want done, and I sold two plating machines and made $0 a piece on them to friends who wanted them for their children.

The increase of the state tax shown in preceding table includes the 12 cents levied for ptato purposes and the 6 cent9 levied for the maintenance of the benevolent institutions, these being the only taxes that go to the current expenses of the etate government. The etate school tax (16 cents) is all apportioned back to the counties for com mon achool tuition, and is properly a local tax. The increaso of the etate echool tax in 1801 ia $752,027.17, and as the enumeration will be mibatantiallv the Earns aa last year, (7t;3,207) there will be 95 centa per school child distributed to the countioa. The local school taxes ehould have been decreased to this extent. Ab the total increase of taxes is $2,09,232.20, and the total increase of state taxes 1 $1.230,547.73, there has been an increase of ?1,76S,734.53 of local taxes, which ia distributed as follows : roaTT-srx bepublicaw cocxties.

Of the increase of local taxes in democratic counties it will be eoen that $297,150.92 occurs in Marion county, and $213,291. 90 in the remaining forty-five counties. This is largely due to increases by republican trustees, town boards and school toard in thoee counties; thus, in Marion county the republican pehool board levies $113,014.81 more taxes than last year, besides receiving about $;!2.0t) more from the state school tax which is the same as increasing local taxes 145,000 in the city of Indianapolis alone. As shown in appendix 1, the valuation has increased more in tho democratic counties than in the republican counties, an 1 if the whole increftso t taxes were due to the law tho taxes would increase in the same proportion. It will be observed that the state taxes, which are at the same rate everywhere, increana in that proportion. But the increase of taxes in the republican counties is actually $747,K(VJ.Öl greater than in the democratic counties, which shows conclusively that the law waa not responsible for it. Taking the counties separately, it will be observed that in ten of them (nine democratic and one republican) there has been a decrease of the total taxes paid. In five of them (four democratic and on republican) the increase on railroads alone is greater than the total increase of taxes paid. In thfs- lit'teen counties individuals pay leS tax en, in the aerecrate. than formerly. In thirty counties (swven democratic and twenty-three republican) the increase of railroad taxes is greater than the state increaee, and in these, if there had been no increase in local taxes, individuals would certainly have paid less taxes than before. This shows the effects of the increase on railroadl alone, there being no conenient mode of ascertaining the increase on other corporations. If the increase on banks, etreet railroads, mining and manufacturing corporations, etc, could be shown, a number of the other counties would probably present the same result.

HOP SING THE LEPER. An Account of His Many Trials and Tribulations. New Yore, May 19. Hop Ping, the Chinese leper whom the health board dragged iroin bis laundry last July and shipped to tbe Pacific coa6t, is back in New York again. He returned about two months ago and has made his home in the ten-cent lodgicg house, IS Pell-st. Accompanied by an interpreter, the reporter went to Tell-Bt. lodging house to see the leper. It is a five tstory building of yellow brick, with ten large rooms on each floor, into which are squeezed about thirty cots. Hop Sing lay on a cot by tbe rear window all covered up with blankets. The room wos hot, but Hop fcing shivered. He looked better than he did when he was here before. He had gained considerable llesh and his face is not so bloated aa it was. It is purple enouah yet, however, r nd the 6kin hangs in folds up under his eyes. Hop Sing is still a repulsive eight. Through tbe interpreter he told his etory. Ho went away with another leper in a party of thirty Chinamen going back to the Flowery kingdom. At Vancouver, British Columbia, the lepers made a sensation among health and railroad officials and their further progress was stopped. For a couple of weeks they were kept isolated in a too! ehauty. On Sept. 22 they were bundled into a box-car with a barrel of water and some bread, a hole was made in the end of the car to ad i.it air, and the door was locked. Then the car was hauled to the American line and side tracked. The customs officer who first opened the car nearly had a fit when he saw tbe repulsive looking Chinamen. Nobody knew what to do, and meantime the water supply gave oat and the lepers ate dry bread and Buffered greatly until some railroad men stuck a hose throngh the hole in the car end and deluged the occupants with water. They flooded the car until it was knee-deep with water. Then the car was coupled onto a locomotive which shoved it over tbe boundary line again. By the time the bread had given out the rolling lazaretto Lad reachad Vancouver again. The au

"Much too long for chopsticks, these poles were." poor Hop Sirjj added, drily. The lepers had passage tickets to China, but tho Canadian Pacing steamship officials refused to receive them. They were put in the box-car again. Just how many times they passed back and forth over the line between America and the British possessions Hop Sing does not know. His experience waa eo bitter that he doe? not like to talk about it. The one bricht epot in the succr-esion of dismal trips was the visit paid him by a FrenchCanadian pric5t. The man of God gave Hop ing a medal with the picture of a saint upon it. "He told me to hang mr arms around the saint's neck whenever I was in trouble," said the leper yesterday, as he showed the medal to the reporter. The box-car finally brought the two lepers East. A CHILD VOMITS A BIRD. She Diet After Being Unconscious Sixty four Hours. Fall River, Mass., Mar 22. The local medical profession is much interested ia the following well authenticated facts, reported by Dr. Casgrain, a respectable physician of this city. Victoria Beruhe, a;ed six years, died yesterday noon after remaining unconscioua for sixty-four hours. She bad been ia delicate Leaith for two years. Wednesday she went home from school and bhortly afterward was taken sick, vomiting a black substance. Ir. Casgrain was called andfound the patient insensible. He was unable to resuscicate. Two hours before her death yesterday noon tbe vomittod a dark reddish subttance, which on examination was found to contain a partially formed bird. The doctor declines to advance any theory, but will report the facts to the local medical society. A prominent physician advance the theory that the child may have eaten a par-boiled half-hatched egg. Oar Look Felt Want. I-afarette Courier.
