A Copy of a Letter from Jesus Christ,
nnd found eighteen miles from Iconium,
sixty-five years after our blessed >avior s
Crucifixion, transmitted from the holy city
l>y a converted Jew s faithfully translated
from the original Hebrew copy, now m
possession of the lady Cuban s family,
at Mesopotamia. This letter was written
by JEHUS CHRIST, and found under a
great stone, both round and large at the
foot of the Cross, eighteen miles from
Iconium, near a village called Mesopota
mia ; upon that stone was written and en
graved, “ blessed is he that shall turn me
over.*’ All the people that saw it, prayed
to God earnestly, and desired that he
would make known to them the meaning
of this writing, that they might not attempt
in vain to turn it over. In the mean time
there came a little child, about six or
seven years old, and turned it over with
out help, to the admiration of all the peo
ple that stood by, and under this stone
was found a letter written by Jesus Christ,
which was carried to the city of Iconium,
and there published b} r a person belonging
to the Lady Cuban, and on the letter was
written,* THE COMMANDMENTS OF
JESUS CHRIST, signed by angel Gabriel,
twenty-eight years after our Saviour’s
birth :
WHOEVER worketh on the Sabbath
day shall be cursed ; I command you to
go to church and keep the Lord’s day holy,
without doing anj r manner of work. You
shall not idly misspend your time in be
decking yourselves with superfluities of
costly apparel, and in dresses, for I have
ordained it a day of rest, I will have it
kept holy so that your sins may be for
given you ; you shall not break my com
mandments, but observe and keen them
written with my own hand, write them in
your hearts, and steadfastly observe this
was written with my own hand, spoken by
my own mouth. You shall not only go to
Church yourselves, but also your man ser-
vants and your maid servants and observe
my words and learn my commandments ;
you shall finish your labor every Saturday
in the afternoon by six of the clock at
which hour the preparation for the Sab
bath begins. I advise you to fast five
Fridays m every year, beginning with
Good Friday, and to continue the four Fri
days immediately following, in remember
ance of the five bloody wounds 1 received
for all mankind ; you shall diligently and
peaceably labor in your respective voca
tions, wherein it has pleased God to call
you. You shall love one another with
brotherly love, and cause them that are
not baptized to come to Church and hear
the holy Sacrament, viz ; Baptism, and the
Lord's Supper, and be made members
thereof; in so doing I will give you long
life and many blessings, and your land
shall replenish and bring forth abundance;
and surely he that doth to the contrary,
shall be cursed and unprofitable. I will
also send hardness of heart upon them,
till I have destroyed them, but especially
upon the hardened and impatient unbe
lievers ; be that hath given to the poor, he
shall not be unprofitable.
Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day,
for the seventh day 1 have taken to myself;
and he that hath a copy of this letter writ
ten with my own hand and spoken with my
own mouth, and keep it without publish
ing it to others shall not prosper, but he
that publishes it to others shall be blessed
of me. and though his sins be in number
as the stars in the sky, and he that believes
in this shall be pardoned, and he that be
lieves not this writing and my Command
ments, I will send rny plagues upon him,
and consume both him and his children,
and his cattle; and whosoever shall have
a copy of this letter written with my own
band, and keep it in his house, nothing
shall hurt him, neither pestilence, light
ning nor thunder, shall do them any hurt;
and if a woman be with child and in labor,
and a copy of this letter be about her and
she firmly put her trust in me. she shall
safely be delivered of her birth. You
shall have no news of me but by the Holy
Spirit, until the day of Judgment.
All prosperity shall be in the bouse
where a copy of this letter shall be found.
Art Publishing.
Pew people are aware of the wonderful
progress that Art has made irt this country
during the last quarter of a century. It is
but a few decades since, that those who
desired to beautify and adorn their homes,
were obliged to depend almost entirely on
foreign artists. But such a state of affairs
in this age of progress and improvement
could not last long with the great American
people. Genius from the Hast to the \\ est,
from the North to the Gulf of Mexico on
the south, answered the demand for beauty,
taste and refinement, and to-day our lead
ing artists are not surpassed by the leading
modern masters of Art in Europe.
Great Art publishing establishments have
sprun o, up, and by various processes the
finest'and most expensive paintings are
reproduced in all their elegance aud beauty,
and at a price within the means of the
masses. So that no one need lx? without
the refining influences of beautiful pictures
at home, . . , n ,
Among the progressive leading Art Pub
lishing firms of the country, we take pleas
ure in mentioning George Stinson Sc Cos.,
of Portland. Maine ; they were among the
first in the business, and we can only un
derstand the colossal proportions their
trade has assumed by remembering that
tliis is a great and mighty Nation of nearly
fifty million people. We cannot better il
lustrate the magnitude of their business
than to state the amount of money paid by
them for postage stamps during the year
1876 : we have the figures direct from the
firm, or we should think there was some
mistake. They paid for postage stamps
during the year 1876. thirty-three thousand
one hundred and four dollars and ninety
two cents (33,104.f>2) and. in connection
with this it should be remembered that
only the small orders were sent by mail,
the larger going by express and freight.

found in every Slate in the Union and Do
minion of Canada, and in every country
with scarcely an exception.
Long since, this enterprising firm recog
nized the value of printer’s ink judiciously
used in advertising, and they inform us
that without it they could never have ex
tended their business as it is to-day, in
three times the number of years. A short
time since they paid in a single day twenty
four thousand dollars on a contract for
newspaper advertising. They evidently
long since found the road to success and
have not turned to the right nor the left.
Three things are necessary for eminent
success in business. First, standard hon
est goods that the people generally need
and desire—let them be the best, whatever
the line of business. Second, let your
prices be reasonable—as low as possible.
Third, let the people know what you have,
and what you can do, by liberal and per
sistent advertising, and you will find low
prices, made known and proved, will bring
trade that will give a larger income than
can be made in any other way.
Augusta. Knoxville ami lirociiwood
Railroad.
Chruniele <f Ovnatitutionaliat.
Our readers will remember that in the
fmblished proceedings of the Augusta and
vnoxville Railroad Convention, held in
this city May 9th, the Augusta and Green
wood Railroad was placed under the man
agement of the Augusta and Knoxville
Railroad, and President Whcless appoint
ed a committee, consisting of General P.
11. Bradley and others, to attend the sit
ting of the South Carolina Legislature and
secure such legislation as might be neces
sary to complete the transfer of the Au
gusta and Greenwood Railroad to the Au
gusta and Knoxville Railroad. The com
mittee succeeded in securing the passage ol
an act ratifying the transfer, and obtained
from the State of South Carolina one hun
dred convicts to work upon the Augusta
and Greenwood Railroad.
Gcrfera! Bradley visited this city yester
day to inform the Directors of the Augus
ta and Knoxville Railroad that South Car
olina will be ready to commence work
within three w’eeks, and to ascertain if
there is any doubt about the Augusta and
Knoxville Railroad being promptly built to
Walton’s Island to connect with the branch
road from Greenwood.
The Directors of the Augusta and Knox
ville Railroad assured General Bradley
that if work is pressed forward upon the
South Carolina side, his people need not
have any fears about the A. & K. R. R.
meeting them “ at the river.”
President Wheless appointed a business
committee to take charge of the work on
the Augusta and Greenwood Railroad,
with General Bradley as Superintendent.
This really begins to look like business
in the most important move that can be
inaugurated to increase the trade of our
city.
We have mentioned several times re
cently that a large number of buildings are
being erected in this city, and we feel san
guine that the “breaking of dirt ’’upon
the Augusta and Knoxville and Greenwood
Railroads would add a bright chapter to
the history of Augusta, and we arc grati
fied to know that our citizens appreciate
the importance of the proposed roads.
We have been informed that so soon as
the new crop of cotton moves freely and
financial pressure is relieved the railroad
question will receive proper-attention.
Dr. Winslow Cremated.
Chicago Timet.
Salt Lake City, July 31.—When Dr.
C. F. Winslow’s remains were placed in
the cremation furnace this afternoon at
0:20, the body weighed 120 pounds. He
died on the 7th of July, and the body had
been embalmed, and the heart and bowels
taken out. The multitude were permitted
to view the face as the body lay in a plain
coffin, with flowers strewn on it. Nearly
one thousand persons passed around the
coffin rapidly, immediately after which the
door of the furnace, which had already
reached a red heat, was opened, and the
body quickly pushed in on an iron plate,
the door closed, and the fireman began his
work in earnest.
The furnace was constructed with dou
ble flues, so nicely constructed that the
flames came directly in contact with an en
velope above the body, a large current of
air being admitted. The first appearance,
as seen through the mica apertures, was
that of roasting, but in twenty minutes
nearly all the Hesh was consumed, and the
bones had begun to crumble. Half an
hour later very little could be seen of the
form of the body. At forty-five minutes
past seven o'clock Dr. Hamilton opened
the door ot the furnace, and only one or
two pieces of hone could he seen, and they
crumbled under the weight of the ashes.
At fifty-five minutes past eight the process
was pronounced complete and successful
by Drs. Hamilton and Smart. The fires
were drawn, and the ashes left to cool a
short time before being removed.
Before the body was placed in the retort,
short speeches were made by Dr. Hamil
ton ana Gen. M. M. Bone and Hr. Smart,
Surgeon at Camp Douglas. Dr. Smart
gave a history of the science of cremation,
and sipoke of the system of bnrial as inju
rious to public health, saying that the prac
tice of cremation would increase with civ
ilization and growth of population. No
prayer was said, nor were any religious
words uttered. This was in accordance
with the injunctions of the deceased.
The fumes from the furnace were un
pleasantly perceptible at a distance from
the scene. The cremation was successful,
being the shortest time on record, two
hours and thirty-five minutes. The weight
of the ashes, which contained a few cal
cined fragments of bone, was four pounds
eleven and a half ounces.
HARTWELL, CA., WEDNESDAY, AUGUST t>, 1877.
The \all In the llrtul.
There is a story told in English green
rooms, says Celia Logan, to the effect that
a certain carpenter, a lomr, long time ago,
murdered his wife by driving a nail into
her skull. He fled, and, the better to con
ceal his identity, became an actor. He
rose to eminence and the whirligig: of time
and the wheel ofchance brought him to the
very \ Jingo in which, years before, he had
killed his wife, whose murder, however—-
so the story runs—had not been suspected**
her long, thick. black hair concealing tho
cruel wound from which no blood had
flowed.
'The part was Hamlet. Whatever mem
ories the place evoked, he had sufficient
mastery over his feelings to keep them hid
den. The first scene of the fifth act come
on. The theatre stood on wfiat had for
merly been a burial ground, ami the prop
erty man had not to go far for skulls, but
just dug a little and brought up a dozen or
more, and at night tossed them into the
trap for the grave-digger to shovel on the
stage. He handed a skull to the Hamlet,
saying :
“ Here’s a skull now hath lain you in the
earth for three-and-twenty years."
Hamlet- —“Whose was it?"
(irate-digger— d* This small skull, sir,
waa Yorick’s skull, the king’s jester."
M Hamlet took the skull, saving :
“This—"
He turned pale and staggered, for the
skull had left on it one long look of black
hair. Handed to him upside down, the
lock fell back, revealing anail in the skull.
Thelactor recognized it as that of the wo
man whom he had murdered just twenty
three years before. At this mute evidence
of his guilt, coming from the grave to con
front him, the actor lost presence of mind
and his senses.
In his insane utterance lie revealed his
terrible secret, and was only saved from
punishment by his fellow-actors hushing
him up and hurrying him away. He never
recovered his reason, and died in a mad
house, raving of the nail in the skull.

Last week the Austin brothers went out
to shoot at long range with the Nationals,
in Virginia, New, and after the fun was
over the members of the company began
to tell yarns about good shooting. One
knew of a fellow who had in early times
shot another through the head with a Colt's
revolver at eighty yards. Another had a
vivid recollection of the time when he was
able to hit snowbirds on the wing with a
rillc. A third not to he outdone, solemnly
asserted that he had often killed two sea
gulls with one hall by firing when they
crossed each other.
The Nationals had an idea, that, with
those examples before them, the Austin
brothers would spin some big yarns, hut.
much to everybody's disappointment, they
only heaved a joint sigh and started for the
door.
“Say,” sang out one of the Virginia
men ; ” can’t you tel! us something about
your crack shooting?”
One of the brothers turned back and sat
down. There was a dead silence for awhile
and presently he began :
“Some years ago I was out in New York-
State limiting grouse. There was an old
fellow along who was somewhat near sight
ed. We were just at the edge of a farm,
when suddenly one of my favorite game
cocks jumped up on the fence and he drew
a bead on it, mistaking it for a grouse. J
didn’t have a second to lose, and so I just
threw up my rifle and quietly knocked off
the left nipple of his shot gun at fifty
yards, so that when the hammer fell the
nipple and the cap wouldn't be there—
see?”
“You saved the bird, then?” chirped in
an attentive listener.
“No,"’said Austin, sadly; “I picked
out the wrong nipple ; the fellow fired the
right barrel and blew my fifty-dollar game
cock all to pieces !”
The crowd quietly dispersed.

C'oronor Oakes continued the inquest
yesterday aftomoon in the case of William
Cockett. Cockett’s conduct after he had
taken the enormous dose of strychnine
was remarkable. He stood at the bar of
the Monroe avenue saloon, where Mr. Har
vey found him, calmly conversing with sev
eral persons, without betraving to the un
practised eye the slightest ill effects of his
fatal drink. After one of the bystanders
had given him a drink of salt and water (on
the presumption that he was intoxicated)
he deliberately lighted a cigar, smoked se
renely. and called for a glass of beer. Even
after it became known to the crowd that lie
was poisoned he laughed good-naturedly at
the consternation every face betrayed, and
insisted on treating the crowd.
“ What is your name?” asked one of the
party.
“ Wouldn’t you like to know?” he re
plied, with a sarcastic twist of the lips,
“I’ve been drunk for two days, and all I
want is to brace up a little. Just you fel
lows let me alone and give me a rest.”
When the police arrived and coaxed him
to walk he obstinately refused until his
senses began to desert him. Even then
force was necessary; but he hung on to
his cigar until it was all consumed. One
advocate of heroic treatment, who seemed
to recognize the need of keeping him
awake, slapped his face and rubbed his
ears vigorously. To those proceedings he
replied with taunting speech and a grim
smile of defiance. He refused to open his
I mouth to admit a stomach puinp. and a
screw-shaped instrument made of lignum
' vitae was forced in between his teeth. He
; closed down on it so hard as to bite the
j threads off. rendering the instrument
worthless for future operations. One inus-
cular policeman slapped him on the back,
and remarked in an encouraging tone :
“ Well, old man, you nre not gone vet.”
“All right,’’ he responded. “1 know
I am not gone hut I’m going all the same,
so tire away with your stomach guns."

the same calm indiflerenco to results, and
from tirst to last, at least so long as con
sciousness remained, he gave no sign of the
agony with which he must have been
racked,
•• Hank Closed.”
Detroit Free I'reaa.
About eleven o’clock yesterday forenoon
a man walked up and down Griswold street
for a few minutes, carefully scrutinizing
(lie exterior of the several banks, and
finally entered one of them ami deposited
thirteen dollars. It was his very first deal
ings with a hank, and his hat slanted over
a trifle more than usual when he came out.
About a quarter after twelve, finding that
he could deposit two or three dollars more
ami still make his purchases, the man came
down town again. The bank was closed,
according to custom, and the usual sign of:
“ Bank Shut " hung against the glass. As
the farmer pushed on the door he saw the
sign, and he was only about ten seconds
growing as pale as death. As he made an
other attempt to open the door ahoy came
along and called out:
“ You can’t get in there—she’s shut up !’’
“ Took my thirteen dollars in ami then
busted !" gasped the depositor as ho back
ed olf and looked at the sign.
“She’ll open again at 2 o’clock," said
the boy as lie passed along.
“I doubt it—l doubt it !” muttered the
man as he wiped olf the perspiration, “but
I’ll wait ami see.”
He sat down on the steps, knees weak
and chin trembling, and lie didn’t move an
inch till 2 o’clock. When the bank opened
he walked in, presented his certificate of
deposit and sain :
“I’ll be a thousand times obleeged if
you'll let me draw out my thirteen dollars."
It was handed out, ami the man braced
up instantaneously. Counting the money
over twice, he put the bills in his wallet,
walked out, ami as he readied the walk he
said :
“ That's the closest escape I ever had in
my life, and I won’t make a fool of myself
again !’’

A Klijilitcd 1,11 <*.
A few mornings since a Philadelphia
matron called to see her young married
daughter, who resides in North Eleventh
street, and found her weening bitterly.
“ Oh, mother, take me home. My heart
is broke,” sobbed the daughter, throwing
herself into her mother's arms.
After her tears had somewhat subsided
the mother said :
“ Hardly a year married, and here 1 find
you in tears. What does this mean? Has
Henry been unkind to you ?”
“No,” sobbed the daughter, “hut he
loves me no longer, and my heart is break
ing.”
“ Come, come, child, cheer up. Tell me
why you think he is untrue to you. Does
lie show it?”
“ Yes,” was the heartbroken reply.
“ (), the scoundrel ! O. the viper !” gasp
ed the mother. “My poor, dear child,”
she fairly sobbed, “ your mother won’t de
sert you. She’ll bring that villain to his
knees. What insult has he offered you,
my child ? Speak tell me the worst.”
“ 0, Mother, I can’t.”
“ You must, rny child. Tell me, though
the heavens fall, what outrage he lias com
mitted ?”
“He swore last night when T put my
cold feet to his back,” sobbed the daugh
ter.
“ Is that all ?” gasped the mother.
“ Yes, but he never did so before. All
iast winter he never said a word when 1
put my cold feet to his hack, and now I
know he doesn’t love me,” and then the
poor girl’s tears broke out afresh.
Before the mother left she managed to
convince her daughter that all the world
was hollow, and that the hollow of a man’s
back was not the place for his wife’s feet.
I'elcr Cooper to the President.
Mr. Peter Cooper, of New York, has ad
dressed to the President an open letter, in
which, after alluding to the recent strikes,
he describes at considerable length the
causes which produced them, declaring
that the financial policy of the past twelve
years has led the land from prosperity to
adversity. Mr. Cooper finds the only rem
edy in “ retracing our steps.” and he sug
g< sts that the government should take the
following steps:
First. Give immediate relief to unem
ployed labor, cither through definite meth
ods of help given to settlers of unoccupied
lands in the West, or by the great and ob
vious public improvements which are seen
to he necessary to the prosperity and safe
ty of the country —such a-, a Northwestern
Railroad.
Second. Restore the silver coinage as a
legal tender.
Third. Adopt a permanent policy of
public finance that shall hereafter control
both the volume and the value of the na
tional currency in the interest of the whole
people and not a class.
Fourth. Promote and instruct industrv
all over the land by founding, under na
tional, State and municipal encouragement
industrial schools of every kind that can
advance skill in labor.
Fifth. Adopt a judicious tariff upon all
importations of which this country has
the raw material in abundance, and the la
bor ready to be employed in the produc
tion.
Sixth. Provide a civil service as well or
ganized and specific as the military or na
val service.
A Woman’* Heroic I'lfhl.
Milwaukee Sentinel.
Dkai\vooi>, July 23.—A wagon draws
by two yoke of oxen, and carrying two
men and a woman, with their effects, left
Dcadwood on Monday morning destined
for Bismarck. They camped on Centen
nial i’rairie on Monday night, ami on
Tuesday night passed through Crook City.
An eye witness, who was cutting hay within
a quarter of a mile, tells how it occurred.
He says that hearing a succession of rapid
shots fired over the blutT from where he
was mowing, he got up on a high timbered
elevation and saw about twenty Indians
engaged in a fight with two men ami a wo
man, who occupied the ox trnin. The men
defended themselves gallantly against the
great odds. They were well armed, and
fought as only men fight for their lives.
The Indians, instead of coming up in a
body, broke in every direction and sur
rounded the wagon, keeping up a constant
trail of bullets upon the poor unfortunates.
Three of the oxen were the first to fall.
Wngptmcn, the owner of the outfit, and
the husband of the lady, next was shot
through the head. Mrs. Waggoinen seized
her husband’s revolver and discharged the
contents among the Indians, who were
now close upon the wagon. After she had
emptied the weapon she Hung it full in tho
face of a burly savage, who was reaching
over the wagon to grasp her. He reeled
back, but others took his place.
Mr. Tyner, tho other man, was quickly
finished, nml there remained but the lady
to deal with. The Indians had since the
beginning of the conflict been careful not
to injure her, ami their bullets were direct
ed chiefly toward the two men. The poor
woman, knowing her probable fate, fought
like n tigress, clutching an empty gun and
striking right and left, but to no avail.
She was finally overpowered nnd brought
to the ground, but the woman fought so
hard that they procured some tent stakes
which were in the wagon ami staked tho
limbs and body of the poor woman firmly
to the ground. After they had accom
plished their horrible deed they took her
sealp and horribly mutilntcd her around
the breast, and then dispatched her.
The shrieks of the woman could he heard
distinctly where my informant was lodged,
powerless to help and almost dead with
fear. When the savages began sacking the
wagon they observed the witness of their
cruelty standing on the blutT. and two of
them started in pursuit. lie, however,
made good time, ami succeeded in reselling
Crook, about nine miles off, without fall
ing into their clutches. Soon after tho
massacre the Bismarck stage rolled by the
fatal spot. There were no Indians in sight,
ami the passengers were horrified at seeing
the sight before them. Both of the men
bad been scalped ami their ears and noses
cut off. The woman was horribly mutila
ted, her brains ami entrails being scattered
over the ground. The bodies of the poor
unfortunates were taken to Crook and
there interred. They belonged to Brain
ard, Minn,, aud ha*l come into the Hills
cnrly this spring, made their little stake,
and were on their way home when the fatal
accident befell them.

The mean small hoy is different from the

calculated to make other hearts ache. He
now takes a silver quarter and makes it
fast to a string, ami to see him hanging

the quarter where it will do the most, good.
The ring of the metal commands attention
at once, ami the programme is carried out

he heard the quarter drop, he clapped his
hand on his pocket and looked around.
“ Did you drop a quarter ?” mildly asked
the mean small hoy, pointing to one on the

“Ah ! must he a hole in iny pocket,”

He had his fingers on llie money when it

A Woman MiiNon.
Young J/atliet' Journal.
There is a story current in regard to a
lady who, a number of years ago, was
made a Free Mason in England under very
peculiar circumstances, she having over
heard so much of the work that it was
thought best by those who discovered
her hidden near the lodge to initiate her in
order to close her mouth. The London
Freemason is authority for stating that
another lady has been recently admitted
to the mysteries. The following is the
story: “Countess Hadich has been re
ceived as a Free Mason in a Hungarian
lodge under the Grand Orient of Hungary.
The Countess is a highly educated lady,
and, having studied and become well-versed
in Masonic literature, she was regularly
proposed and seconded in an open lodge,
balloted for, and in due time was duly ini
tiated. The Grand Orient of Hungary,
however, declares that the initiation is
null and void, on the ground that a woman
is disqualified from being a Free Mason ;
and the curious question now arises
whether, as the Countess was actually in
itiated, she can be refused admission to
her lodge.”

On Muck Creek in Schley county, about
eight miles north of Ellavillc, the colored
people have a debating society where they
meet every Saturday night to discuss vital
questions. On last Saturday night they
waded through a very difficult problem.
The question was—“ which is the most
beneficial to the country, the lawyer or
buzzard?” We learn that the President
decided in favor of the latter, from the ar
gument advanced by one of the speakers on
the negative who said, “ Dat wharebber
do karkass am dar de buzzard am also.”—
The president so thought and gave his de
j cision in accordance.
