12 AT ST. THOMAS’ GRAVE. NOTES ABOUT THE GREAT DOUBTER AND HOW HE DIED. The Apostle of India, the Cave Where He Lived, and the Plain Where He Preached—How the King’s Palace Was Built For Eternity. From the Chicano New*. In British India, March 81, 1887. The king would build, so a legend says. The very finest of palaces. He sent for St. Thomtts. a builder rare. And bade him to build them a wonder fair. "Build well. O builder good and so great. And add to the glory of my estate.' Do you know-w here the doubting apostle, St. Thomas died, and was buried J He who said: "Except I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print, of the nails, and thrust my hand into Hi*, side, I will not believe. ” Subsequently at a meeting with closed doors, when Jesus stood suddenly an appa rition among His mourning diaciples, He said to Thomas: “Reach here your hand. Thrust it into my side.” After Thomas had satisfied himself Jesus said: “Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are they that, have not seen and yet have believed” —John, chapters xx. and xxi. In the Bible record this apostle was therefore given the title of Didymus, which is the Greek of doubter, a skeptical man. At this present day a Methodist hymn says: Oh. where is doubting Thomas? Safe in the promised laud Gone up at the feet of Jesus. Safe in the promised land, By and by we will go and see Him, Safe in the promised land. There we will sing and shout together, There we will sing and shout forever, Safe in the promised land. Many a time I have in my childhood helped to ring out the cadences and repetitions of that chorus, not forseeing that in Southern India should I surely look down into the now vacant gi*ave where that apostle lay buried 1,300 years. I did not dream that on a sul trv tropic, morning I should walk over miles of the ground that was part, of his mission ary field, and should follow the road where his followers walked bearing his body after the martyrdom; that I should hear a chorus of the Indian ocean surf roaring and foam ing and breaking upon the shore while an Indian convert to tnc religion of Christ and the twelve apostles told me the tradition of Bt. Thomas' grave. Excursions within the torrid zone must be made early in the morning or else when the sun is again low in the afternoon. This lit tle tour had been mentioned the day before, but evidently nobody was remembering it. This was to be my last day in Madras for the present. Not being able to use the speech of the country to bargain for a vehi cle, the sun already on his upward round, an urgent case, I started off with only a spread umbrella as my companion. Not anticipat ing the blistered toes which lasted for a week—but what of that, when I learned so much, and found It so interesting and en gaging that I did not know of my toes’ con dition until the next day —I crossed the Adi gar river, and followed the pleasant road which is the landward winding and south erly end of a several miles drive and prom enade, of which lam told that the world has truly few or none other such. Solid great public buildings within gardens of trees and shrubbery make one side. On the other rolls against the shore the celebrated dangerous surf of Madras in three consecu tive parallel silvered lines. Madras isa city built in groups, with semi rural acres between. In the quarter called “St. Thome” a church is built over the ven erated place where St. Thomas was turned and where his body lay for 1,200 years. In one of the ante-rooms'of the church the lift ing of a trap-door discloses a hole which has been empty ’SOO yeans. It has become 13 feet deep by two causes—a change in the level of the surrounding land during the 1,800 years since the apostle was there interred, but more it has been deepened by pilgrims who prized the very soil that was the bed where St.| Thomas’ body rested for more than a thousand years," and each pilgrim carried away one handful of sand as a talis man. In a locked cupboard in the same ante room is preserved the broken-off point of the spear that was the instrument of his martyrdom on Dec. 21, A. D. 68. The In dian priest who told me most of the details gave them as traditions only, adding that in India tradition is peculiarly a method of tramsmitting history. St. Thomas’ apos tolic work is told in' a poem of fifty lines translated and paraphrased from the Latin of the mediaeval Christian fathers. ‘Build well, uor spare of my wealth to show A prouder palace than mortals know.’ The king took leave of his kingdom thenr And wandered far from the haunts of men. St. Thomas the king s great treasure spent In worthier way than bis master meant. He clad the naked, the hungry fed, The oil of gladness around him shed; He Messed them all with the ample store As never a king's wealth blessed before. The king came back to his well-spent gold But no new palace did he behold. In terrible he swore and said That the builder’s folly should cost his head. St. Thomas and St. Bartholomew were the apostles of the far East. They came together to India, after the Saviour’s fast command: “Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.” Of the (Minted Hindu peninsula the west side is called “the Malabar coast” and the east is called “the Coromandel coast.” Bartholomew took the Malabar side. It is rainy and mountain ous. St. Thomas took the Madrasian plain. It is dry and sunny. They itinerated a great deal and founded many churches. St. Thomas’ sermons are told of to this day as being delivered on both the Malalar and the Coromandel coasts ;for Bartholomew and Thomas used to “exchange," I suppose like modern preachers. Two isolated mounts, three miles apart, rise out of the great plain on whose sea edge stands Madras. Each is called “St. Thomas' mount," but as, by comparison, one is big and the other is less, the one is generally called at Madras “Bt. Thomas’ mount’’ and the other is called me “Little mount.” They are properly termed mount, and not monutain, because Doth are so small as to be easily reconnoitered; like some Mississippi river cliffs if they were suddenly detached from their surroundings. Southern Hindustan has many such. They are supposed to be geological monuments: made hy the wear und tear ot the storms of ages, slowly disintegrating and washing away the ridge or other earth formations that once were of their top level. In the “Tuttle mount” is the cave where ThomasDidymus lived. There are indent ure that were made by his knees in his fre quent prayers, and by his hands in his also frequent prostrations. The cave has a crev ice through which he got out when the per secutors came. Being then an old man who could not run fast, he was directly overtaken mid was fatally pierced with a spear. “The Big mount” lias a cliff, with draw ings on it that were made by Kt. Thomas. Upon the large rook he scratches 1 the out- Unoeof a large cross and the ligure of the virgin mother and a dove, emblematic of the Holy Hpirit. After ho was left for dead with painful exertions he managed to reach this favorite spot, where, at the foot of the cams, lie died. His friends caught up his body and by the light of the stars and the moon, which is wonderfully bright here, they lovingly lore the lifeless likeness of their teacher six miles to this place by the seashore, now in Madras city, and buried it. This was then a wild place and the little village and the whole region here and all around as far out as the mounts was called Maiiapurum (Mylapoo ram). Kt. Thomas here rested in peace for 1,300 years. There came a time when India was overrun by oonquerors and dcsecrutors: and Christiana of the still living church that was founded by St. Thomas, fearful of what might happen, dug up his treasure bones and il, ik,Kited them for security in a vault long unknown. •” * o*judi ed years went by.

They invite correspondence from all intending builders, however distant. They will send their latest publication (called s Modern Houses, No. 5) containing more than fifty designs, on receipt of $l. Portuguese deputation of missionaries from the Malabar side, by the light Jof modern Christianity, searched the wnole Coroman del coast, and 865 years ago they found the apostle’s complete relic, safely'interred at the greater mount, which is ‘called by his name. This skeleton was lying side by side with that of a king w hom he had converted. Tile deputation, overjoyed, took tile precious dust to Goa, which is an interesting town on the southwest coast of this peninsula. There in the sanctuary, which is called the Church of St. Thomas, the crumbling lames lie to this day. The poem does not mention the name or country of the King for whom Wt. Thomas built the heavenly Jialace, but legendary his tory happily tells it. A yellow anil ant-eaten parchment almost a thousand years old, and copied; from the original one that was 500 years older, was found and published by Wolfgang Lazius 855 years ago. lam particular about these dates, and give them under the authority of the present official statistician of Rritiish In dia, W. W. Hunter. And everylaaiy all over Europe or America that knows any thing about India knows of W. W. Hunter, C. W. I. C. L E., and LL. D. My priestly informant gave me most, of the main events in outline, hut ho did not mention many dates. He did not tell me of the other Wt. Thomas’ church in Goa which has the lxxiy, hut I have learned that since from Dr. Huiiter. The manuscript was written by a chronicler named Alohas, who, when he was young, was a disciple of Wt. Thomas. Abrtlns, when he wrote the his tory, was living in Babylon—the celebrated Babylon of ancient history. He was a Christian minister, and had charge of all the churches in that part of Asia, tlis literary work—ten volumes—was done in one of the oriental tongues. But it was translated in to Latin by the well-known Julius Afri canus. In the Latin, which is the only lan guage any of us would l>e likely to under stand, it is in part entitled "Andiae Baby lonia',” “libri aeceini; Julio Africano, inter prete.” Julius Africanus’ translation was fortu nately found just ten years after the pre cious dust of the martyred apostle was dis covered on the Coromandel coast ; where, though lying side by side with Ids royal friend, every circumstance existed for identi fication; the martyred aaint being greater than the King. This ancient manuscript tells us how Wt. Thomas come to go to India and to naan his old age ill the quiet retirement of Madras. It was only a sudden attack of persecution that terminated bis life. He lived there very pleasantly. This is the story of the manu script : The fame of Jesus had reached the far East, which is a laud of magic, even to this day. “Black magic” and “white magic” I am often hearing of, and 1 am even told in wbat provinces the "black magicians” are and on what mountain heights the “white magicians'’ stay. Jesus was here supposed to be a great magician; one of those magi who could do or supply anything. King Gondaphorus sent to Jesus by a mes senger named Abban. Alihan arrived just before the Anal ascension. Gondaphorus sent for a skillful architect, to build him a palace. He thought that, he would thereby have the finest palace in India, this part of Asia lieing then, and up to a very late date, divided in to several kingdoms, having rich kings who lived very grandly. Jesus furnished hint with Thomas Didymus as an expert in archi tecture.

When four days dead, as the legend reads, He arose to humanity’s life and needs; From slrep of the dust he strangely woke. And thus to his brother, the king, he spoke: “I have been to paradise, oh, my king! And have heard the heavenly angels sing, And there I saw, by the gates of gold, A palace finer than tongue has told; Its walls and towers are lifted high In beautiful grace to the bending sky! ‘lts glories there In that radiant place Shone forth like a smile from the dear Ixtrd’s face; An angel said it was builded there By the good St. Thomas, with love and care, For our fellow-men, and that it should lie Thy palace of peace through eternity.” The king this vision pondered well. Till he took St. Thomas from dungeon cell And said: “Oh, Builder! he most is wise, "Who huildeth ever for paradise.” After this, St. Thomas became very popu lar. All the kings believed in him and re cognized him as a true saint: and he jour neyed protected by the scepter and under the royal white umbrella of King Meo Ileus, with a hand of music and i. procession, to the Madras country, where he said good-by to all pmud pomp, found a comfortable cave in which he long lived quietly and plainly, and Anally was slain. The dark Indian patre, a man of keen face and tiolished manners clothed in the eccle siastical gown of the Roman church, at the close of the narration agnin candidly assured me that it was wholly traditional; that in the lapse of ages and the mutations of gov ernment and circumstances no point of the story could be proved, and I venture to say that Doubting Thomas himself would be the last to believe it. It belongs only to the critical analyzer of* time-eaten manuscripts and eomplleatcd le gends to interfere with the regular contin uity of a story and the consistency of de tails. Rut the fact is that, modern Christian mis sionaries, the earliest being the Portuguese, in A. 1). 1600, found the knowledge anil wor ship of Christ no new thing in India; and that up to the last, ten years the remnants of the ancient “Syrian church” had more na tive adherents than all the Protestant sects in Hindustan put together. At the beginning of the Christian era Buddhistic philosophy, then supreme in Southern India, did not oppose the introduc tion of a religion whose characteristics were humanity and self-sacrifice; while north of the Himalayas Christianity and Buddhism a thousand years were side by side and inter laced. From the flfth to the fifteenth cen tury they formed the two intelligent relig ions of Central Asia. Ask Dr. Hunter. Ho will tell you that the whole subject of early Christanity, from Cyprus to China, has been treated with ex haustive learning in Col. Yule’s “Kathay and the Way Thither,” published by the Hak luyt society in 1866. This makes plain why in Toklo.

Thomas’ mount and Little mount, Ixit.li being ancient “high places. ’’ Only for certain lowly and devoted ones those isolated hill-shrines on the Mmlrusinn plain, retaining the Christian name, have supported a faith in the apostle of ludiu, and Christum pilgrims Ixdieve that the mag uiAceut wuvok of the Indian ocoan make a mighty requiem by his grave.

In a number of the London Magazine of 17(17 v\as this curious announcement, ad dressed to all the foreigners and others: “This is to give notice, that the English vulgar tongue is taught at Billingsgate by a company of qualiiied fishwomen, upon very reasonable terms.” An equally curious notice is said to lie given by a minister in Salem county, N. J., namely, that he will perform the marriage ceremony on the most accommodating terms. “Those who are not blessed with cash can pay the fee in cord wood, bacon or corn.' ’ A Liverpool furrier informs “those la ties who wish to have a really genuine article that he will lie happy to make them muffs, boas, etc.,‘of llieir own skins.’” This is matched by the prophet, or of a bone mill, who, announces that “Parties sending their own bones to be ground will find their orders attended to with punctuality and dis - patch.” There are many curious signs and business announcements to be found in London, of which a tew are: “Sick dogs medically at tended by the week or month. Birds to board. Ladies’ and gentlemen's feet and hands professionally treated by the job or season. Round shouldered persons made straight. Babies or children hired or ex <’hanged. False noses ns good as new, and warranted to tit. Black eyes painted very neatly.” In the extreme West, wo hear of a shanty which bears the sign: “Here’s where you get a meal like your mother used to give you.” A swimming school in Frankfort-on-the- Main announces in English: “Swimming instructions given by a teacher of both sexes.” An allusion to swimming reminds us that at Dieppe, that famous bathing place there are police established whose duties it is to rescue persons from danger. This notice is sold to have lx* si recently issued hi them: “The bathing police are requested, when a lady is in danger of drowning, to seize her by the dross and not by the hair, which oftentimes remains in their grasp."

A countryman of the author of thonliove, not to lie outdone in the same line, an nounced in an Irish journal that among other portraits, he hud a representation of “Death as large as life," but one of the latest of Irish bulls is the following from an editorial in one of the leading papers of the Nationalist party, the other day: “So long as Ireland was silent under her wrongs.

Solomon’s Judgment in Chinese. From the London Academy. Two women came before a mandarin in China, each of them protesting that she was the mother of a little child they had brought with them. They were so eager and so pos itive that the mandarin was sorely puzzltd. lie retired to consult with his wife, who w. s a wise and clever woman, whose opinion was held in great repute in the neighbor hood. - - She requests! five minutes in which to de li if rate. At the end of that time she spoke: •Let the servants catch me a large fish m the river, and let it be brought me here alive.” This was done. “Bring me now the infant,” she said, “but leave the women in the outer chamber.” This was done, too. Then the mandarin's wife caused the baby to be undressed and its clothes put on the fish. “Carry the creature outside now, and throw it. into the -river in tho sight of the two women.” The servant olieyed her orders, flinging the fish into the water, where it rolled about an 1 struggled, disgusted, no doubt, by the wrapping in which it was swaddled. Without a moment’s pause one of the mothers throw herself into the river with a shriek. She must save her drowning child. “Without doubt, she is the true mother," she declared; and tho mandarin’s wife com manded that she should be rescued, and the child given to her. “Without a doubt, sho is the true mother," she declared. And the mandarin nodded his head, and thought his wife the wisest woman in tho Flowery Kingdom. Mean time the false mother crept away. She was found out in her imposture, and the man darin's wife forgot all about her in the oc cupation of donning the little baby in the best silk she could find in her wardrobe. Happy Workmen. The operatives of the Griffin Mills who drew a tenth |iurt of the $50,000 prize in the last drawing of The Louisiana State Lottery on yesterday received a check for the same. The fortunate individuals uro William C. Hammock, C, L. Hammock, George Hearn, F. M. Ballou and Pnrlai llowdcn, each of whom received $l,OOO. Each put in one dollar anil purchased five tickets, one of them being the lucky number, 2,80D, and conse quently they are happy. They are all hard working, deserving men, and we coiigratu late them on their good fortune. This is tlie largest prize that has ever been drawn in the city, although numerous smaller amounts have been received. This may tend to convince the skeptical that The Louisiana State Lottery always acta in good faitli and actually bestows the prizes where drawn. All of the above parties are mar ried men except C. L. Hammock, and wo understand tlmt he is now contemplating taking a chance in the matrimonal lottery. Mr. \V. C. Hummock, when asked how he really felt when he found that he had actu ally drawn and received the money, prompt ly said: “1 felt pretty fair, as you may im agine.” Warming up, he continued; “1 felt like I did when I was paid off in leaving the Confederate service, and received inv pay, unlike most, in good money. Yes, I am a Confederate veteran and fought under Gen. Beauregard, and now 1 have again earned my reward under him. Gen. Beauregard is ii true man uiul a brave soldier, and I am glad that the money comes through’ him.”— Griffin (Oil.) New*, April 21. Hi sbasii I was m great luck to-day.
