Dr. SENNER, commissioner of immigration in New York, says that the number of persons who landed at Ellis island in thé year ending June 30, 1804, was not 219,046, as reported in current immigration statisties, but 189,246.

Tue United States patent office will make a good showing at the Atlanta fair. The collection made for the Chicago fair puts it in a position to do so within the rather meager appropriation, $6,000. The display will run mostly to the cotton industry and general agriculture.: et ' ;

GERMANY is now largely interested in the growth of tobacco. llThe number of tobacco growers has_ix‘lcﬂ'eased in the empire since the season of 1892-03 by 7,000. This rapid increase in the tobabeo interests of Germany is not likely to be without its effect on the markets of this country. i ;

CONGRESSMAN BLAND lives on a small farm a few miles from Lebanon, Mo. In the intervals of congress he gives more attention to his Ben ?Davis apples, of which he has 5,000 trees, than to sil ver; and as they sell for forty cents a bushel, each tree yielding an average of five bushels, there seems to be as much profit in them. f

SouTH CAROLINA, it seems, now leads the south in cofton manufacturing. Spartanburg has seventeen cotton mills in operation, and | three very large ones under construction. The capital invested exceeds $4,000,000; the number of hands employed is more than 6,500; wages paid, $1,500,000 yearly. : e

THE original charter of liberties, granted by William Penn to Pennsylvania, which belongs to Dr. Edward Maris, ‘c;\f Philadelphia, is about to be sold at auction.

Tne latest phase of the co-operative labor movement appears at Greenfield, Mass., where a court has decided that on Sundays one man may order liquor and drink it and another may pay for it and then nobody will be liable for anything under the Sunday liquor law.

A BILL recently passed by the New York. legislature and signed by Gov. Morton recently provides for free baths in New York city throughout the entire year. Hitherto the poor of the great city have had access to free baths in the symmer only. In accordance with the new law the baths are to be open for fourteen hours each day and supplied with both hot and cold water.

T'UR-BEARING animals are becoming scarce not only in British North America, but as well in our own far northe western possessions. There is a noticeable. decrease in the catch of Alase kan fox, sable, ermine and marten. The blue fox of Alaska is an especially valuable and beautiful fur. The white fox, which many think| very handsome, is still comparatively cheap, and is used for small rugs rather than an article of apparel. =~ | ;

_Owixg to the insufficient width of the Corinth canal, the steepness of its sides and the current which at times becomes exceeding strong, none of the great steamship lines of| the Mediterranean sea have yet adopted this route, although it would result in the saving of much time, and, consequently, expense. Under the circumstances, it looks very much as if this enterprise, begun about the time of Nero and brought to a termination only aboust two years ago, is. destined to result in a financial failure.

Mrs. WAITE, the widow of Chief Justice Waite, says she has grave fears that the Mary Washington society. of which she is the head, will not be able to complete the monument at Fredericksburg, Va., proposed in honor of the mother of the first president.. The ground about the shaft was donated on condition that the place be given an endowment fund sufficient to keep a custodian, who will see that the ground is kept in good order, but as this will require a sum of about $15,000, the society, she thinks, may not be able to retain the land. {

A FEATURE of the cotton states exposition in Atlanta, Ga., will be the preduction of a spectacular play based on the career of Hernando De Soto and his band of Spanish cavaliers in the early history of America; A company of New York and Atlanta capitalists has been orgarized by Mrs. Littleton, with a capital stock of £lOO,OOO, to produce this spectacular drama. They will build a theater and present im tableaux the romantic and advanta~ geous career of De Soto in Georgia, Alabama and Florida. drawing partly on tradition and partly on the imagination. , b :

Amoxa the latest acquisitions made by the authorities of the Louvre is a + statuette sculptured in wood, which has been purchased {for 10,000 francs. According to M. Maspero, the renovwned Egyptologist, the work of art in question dates back to the ecighteenth dynasty of the Pharaohs. It represents o lady of that period lightly draped in -a robe of transparent gatze,and in the opinion of the expert the beauty of the ~ carving and delicacy of the proportions render the statuette the most remurkable piece of sculpture which has been discovered in Egypt during the present century. il s :

SEEKERS OF THE PRESIDENCY. McKinley Leads Among Republicans, But el Dodges the Main lssue. : American history is fruitful in the~ record of the failures of men who have sought the presidency of thé nation. Since_ the days of Andrew Jackson there has not been an instance of a man who has striven for the oﬂice! actively for any considerable period in - advance of nominations who has been] successful in attaining it. The list of such seekers is a list of the most eminent men of their respective eras. Beginning with Clay, Webster and Calhoun, it includes further Cass, Doug-k‘ las, Seward and Chase, and. it ends‘ with Blaine and Sherman. Considera- ‘ tions. of expediency have ruled out some of these men; they defeated Clay and Seward. Personal rivalries operated to bring about -the failure of others, like Cass and Blaine. There has ! been a fatality about electing candidates when a nomination was secured, as seen in the cases of Clay, Cass and ‘ Blaine. The position of an avowed candidate for the presidency is the most difficult one in which a politician can be placed. Unless he uses the ut- i most circumspection he will be in danger of making a fatal mistake witha view to the nomination. It requires remarkable wisdom and sagaeity to sustain himself from blunders in tactics here, and when the prize of a nomination is gained after long effort, he* he is 'at a disadvantage from his previous record in reaching an election; | The defeat of Clay and Blaine, when their respective parties had sufficient strength to elect a different candidate in each instance, is proof of this. There has been but one instance of a really spontaneous selection of a candidate for president with the full acquiescence of his party in fifty years. 1t was that of Gen. Grant in 1868. ‘We mean by this a ‘selecticn which had been indicated any length of time beforehand as one sure to be made, and of which there was no danger of its defeat by an alternative nominee. Gen. Taylor’s in 1843 came nearest to it, but he was opposed by a large sec-, tion of the whig party and made a division in its ranks. Both Tilden and Cleveland were taken more asa matter of policy than from their strict representative character. Neither came forward urging his claims or started a campaign for himself in advance. The two Harrisons, Lincoln and Hayes, were none of them recognized as ‘seeking the presidency with the conspicuousness of their rivals, and Polk, Pierce and Garfleld were not known to be seeking it at all. : Gov. McKinley has now the apparent lead among several rival candidates on the republican side occupying something the same position ‘that Clay, Seward and Blaine occupied before him. . He has not so strong a following as had those of his predecessors, but he has not so much to fear in an expediency candidate as had they. The republicans have better prospects ofcarrying the next presidential election than had their party at the time the other candidates were seeking it. They do not need to consult particularly the personal popularity of their candidate with the voters, because the party itself is almost sure to carry almost any candidate, provided he does not make a very serious mistake. Yet it is easily in the power of Gov. McKinley to make such a mistake, and present dndications are to the effect that he is not free from the danger of doing so. We find this is his disposition to avoid meeting squarely the live issue of the coming campaign. This will. not be the tariff; the tariff is much more in the nature of a -dead issue; certainly it is such in comparison with another—the curreney. It isidle to undertake to shirk or shift the issue of the currency. It is something to bé settled. The business of the country demands its settlement, and. the people engaged in that business will not allow that the currency of the country shall be ignored in order that a political triumph may be won in fhe interest of a party, much less of an individual politician. o If, whilé Gov. McKinley is attempting to divert attention from the currency to the tariff, Mr. Thomas B. Reed shall come out: as boldly in taking a stand for sound currency as has President Cleveland, he will score a distinct point ' against his rival. In that event Gov. McKinley will be in great danger of adding another to the list of men who have trained themselves too much, if we may adopt this figure, in the race for the presidency. His only remedy for this mistake will be in following suit to Mr. Reed, and Mr. Reed will still have the advautage of precedence in this important point. Generalities will hardly do here. *‘One dollar to be as good as another,” means not enough in such a connec@on. The men who are to nominate the next republican candidate-for the presidency will make the inquiry as to whether the present state of affairs in this respect is to be continued, and more of the depreciated metal is to be put upon the country. Gov. McKinley turns the conversation to the tariff when this question is put to him. His disposition to dodge has afforded a fiae opportunity for a bolder man -to gain ‘upon him, and puts him/ in danger of adding anether to the list of candidates who have made fatal mistakes in seeking the presidency.—Boston Herald.

D. ‘%l;et,ween one and five o'clock. PLACE.—The palace of Caiaphas, the high prigst, at Jerusalem. ; /THE ARREST.—About {one o’clock Friday ui?rntng Judas guided a multitude, with swords and staves, lanterns and torches, under tie direction of the chief priests and elders; and accompanied by a guard of soldiers, to the garden of Gethsemane, and there betrayed his Master with a kiss, stealing **the livery of the court of Heaven to serve the devil in.” Peter, in his determination to stand by his Master as %had‘ promised, made |an attack with his sword upon.the officers and cut off ‘the ear of Malchus, a servant of the high priest, thus implicating Jesus in . seeming rebellion against Rome and giving |color to the charge of the Pharisees that He was setting up a worldly kingdom against Cesar. Jesus undid the evil by healing the wound and bidding P]'ﬁter put up his sword. | The disciples then all forsook Jesus and fled away into the darknéss. ; ! LESSON NOTES. : Between one and two o’clock Friday morning, ‘Jesus was led first to Annas (John 18:18), who, though deposed by Rome, was still the high priest according te the law of Moses. Caiaphas, the son-in-law of Annas, was now the act~ ing high priest appointed by the Romans. Apparently the leaders wanted the authority and sanction of Annas, and probably very lititle was done here beyond this. Annas very soon sends Jesus to Caiaphas. | = \The council sought for witness against Jesus. Not |to ascertain the truth; they did not desire that. But, “having 'secured their prisoner, they must first agree upon the charge,” and this must be suﬁcie#l;; grave to make the penalty death. It wasno easy mat-: ter; for not only had His life been stainless,but He had shown consummate :lfill in avoiding all the entanglements ‘lrich had been set for Him. R |What an array of witnesses they ﬂight have found, had they wished, to learn the truth! Here a company of those who had been lame, but now vyTere running totell the story of their healing; there a band of those who had been blind, but now could see; lepers who had been \cleansed; demon14cs clothed; and in their right mind; sick raised from their beds and dead b}ought to life again;j sad hearts comforted; sinful souls redeemed; ignortnt minds enlightened; wandering ‘ones restored. i : ‘But, the next verse goes on to say, many bare false witness against Him. This was easy tc bring about. Anywhere in Asia, Broadus tells us, not- to speak of the other comatries, there are ngers-on about the .courts ready to sell testimony. “‘But (significantly) their witnesses agreed not together.” Halsehoods seldom agree. Only the truth is harmonious. | At last, however, they found two who seemed to agree, and have a charge of some weight; but the testimony was false—false, because the facts were not correctly reported,because they were entirely misapplied and perverted. Said they: *‘We heard }‘gim say, I will destroy the temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.” | 2

' The Jews idolized the temple. Note | that His accusers were obliged to go back three years, to the very: opening of His ministry, to find what they might even call testimony (John 2:19). This was either misunderstood, dimly remembered, or willfuly perverted. | The high priest was baffled at zvery fvoint. There was no hope of formulating a charge unless Jesus Himself could be induced to say something which c¢ould be perverted into blasphemy:. “E‘According to Matthew, it was a solemn oath that the high priest offered him: ‘I adjure thee by the living God that thow tell us.” As much astosay: ‘I put ou wnder oath, that you may .clear gou:rself of the charge that you have made this claim,’ but meant as an opportunity for him to make the claim afresh.” ‘‘Art Thou the Christ (the | Messiah), the Son of the Blessed?” | | Silence is now impossible. It would be taken as a denial of His Messia,h-‘ ship. Jesus acknowledges Himself to be the Messiah. Now, if they kill Him, they must kill their Messiah. Would it not be better to walk cautiously and examine His claims before they went further? ‘ln the words: “Ye shall see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of power,” He contrasts His present apparent weakness with His- true glory: and omnipotences Now. they have the power, then He will have it: ow they are on the judgment seat gnd He at the bar, then He will be the gudge and they will be the criminals before Him, to answer fortheactionsof this day. : | At this the high priest rent his iclothes, thus expressing in tragic maniner how it tore his heart to hear such ¥‘blasphemy,” and exclaims: ‘‘What need of any further witness?” They l;had called but one true ywitness; His gtestimony they rejected, and yet on the istre_ngth of His testimony thcy were about to condemn Him.- And they all icondemned Him to be guilty of death. ! The Sanhedrim was forbidden to investigate any capital crime during the might, and, according to the Roman daw, a sentence pronounced before idawn was not valid. The council now ladjourned, to meet at daybreak, when ithey could legally pronounce the senitence. This regular session was a 'brief one. The evidence was repeated iand a formal vote taken, and Jesus iwas taken to the Roman court before Pilate for the necessary approval of ;t:he sentence. 5 : !
