Notes.-V. .’.3, Golgotha, usual place of
execution. ThefcLatin word calvary, its
equivalent, also means skull, from its conical
shape. X'. 31. Vinegar, a bitter, stupefying
drink to deaden the feeling of pain. V. 38.
Thieves, robbers. V’. 3‘J. Wagging their
I-calls, in token of derision and insnlt, Job
' xvi, -1; I’s. ci.x, 25. V. 45. Darkness, notan
i, cel ipse, but a preternatural gloom that indi
cated the awfully wicked deed done. V. 46.
Eli, or “IJoi.” Ps. xxii, 1; Isa. liii, 10;
, Ixiii, 3-5. V. 50. Cried again, “it is
: linished,” John xix, 30. Loud voice, a shout
j es victory, Luke xxiii, 46.
, V. 33. The Via Dolorosa or Via Crucis, or
. the Lord s ro : 1 from the Praetorium to Gol
gotha, wide!) required on this occasion a half
an hour io pass, was marked at every step by
| the blood which oozed from the freshly
I urged body of Jcous. The natural pain !
| from the scourging was augmented by the
ax y cross which hs, like all t!;o con
' .lemncd, h:« 1 to bear. Exhausted by long
j watching, by a troubled night such as no .
man ever s ; i -e or bc-f< re passed through and
now by tho most intense bodily suffering, be
it. last fainle-l and sunk under the burden of
his cross, so that Simon, tho Cyrean, was
seized to help him carry it.
Golgotha, or Calvary, an elevated place |
somewhat resembling in shape a human
skuil, was then without the city limits, for
’hnital punishment was not permitted within
he walls. This was also a Roman law. He
was cast out of tho city of God, that wo
night obtaiii entrance into tho heavenly
Jerusalem. Golgotha, once the most dread
ful and horrible place on the earth, had Ir?-
jome throng!) Christ tb.o mountain of bless
ings. Christ can transform the vilest sinner
into a shh-H-, r saint.
V. 31. Th>To was offered our Lord tho
isual potioi) given to such as were crucified
o stupefy the senses, but ho was unwilling
o dull them to pain or to dim his common
on with G« 1. lie came to taste our death,
jud he wished no intoxicant to blunt that
I-ste.
V. 35. The criminal having arrived at the
place of execuf ion, was required to be stripped
if all his clothes, and then was laid upon tho
•ross wit!) his arm.-; stretched out upon its
■rtv-s beam.-.. Then by several strong
-. ell direct- 1 blows of a mallet or h:;in:ner
rage nails were driven through tlie hands
ind feet, fastening the body to the instru
uent of t< )-i !•;•(*. Then the cross was lifted
nsl I t. fall vi lentlyinto the hole that had
;een previously dug in the earth. It was so
•rue! and shrmeful a mode of punishment as
lever to ha . e been meted out to Roman citi
zens, but res i ved only for slave-:, rebels and
hemo t aban-loned and worthies •eharaeters-.
> at : i;e. sai.ie tiii-e thv most painful
forri of d“.-i' i. (I) Th< position of the arms
ind body v.. s most unnatural. The least
notion caused the mo ftiten.se . art. (2.)
I’he nails we;--> driven through ch; ersof the
most sensitiv-* nervesand tendons of the I
hands and fwt, causing the most exquisite
mguish. (3.) The exposure of so many
wounds totho air and the heat of midday
brought on violent i nil animat ion. (4) The
free circulation of the blood was prevented.
Moro blood was carried out by the arteries
than could he returned by tho veins. This
-aused a determination of blood to the brain,
producing inexpressible agony. <5.) Death
was not immediate. The pain inerc-'sed and
Bomo had 1 eon known to languish thus till •
tho seventh day. Our Saviour’s sufferings
soon terminated, because of the intense suf
fering of mind and body which preceded his
crucifixion. Only the inquisition, with its
fiendish inventions, has been able to equal
this torturing death. Such was the death
Jesus died, to make atonement for onr sins.
All that lie suffered was for ns. What a
price was paid for us. If he died for us,
what ought we not be willing to do for him!
V. 36. Tho soldiers now watched him that
none should remove the body. Sometimes
this watch Listed sovcnil days.
V. 37. It was customary to attach to the
cross the crime mid name of the crucified
person. Pii.-.te Wrote or caused to have writ
ten the crime for which Jesus was executed.
Sehaff.
V. 3-S. To add an additional shame to
Christ's crti' ifixion ho was associated and ex
ecuted with malefactors.
V. 39, 40. “His crucified condition was in
such contra: L with the title <>ver him and
witii his own words, as to excite the mirth of
the crowd.” Peloubet. They perverted
words which Jesus used. But it is rcmarkabb
tliatwh.it v -s then taking place resulted in
tho destruct i< nos the temple. They derided
his claims :md jested at his agonies. He
could not come down from the cross because
hov.as tho Messiah. Had he come down he
would not h.'ve been tho anointed Christ.
Ho who scvlis first to save himself is never
able to save othei’s.
V. 41, 42. Tho oft’cr.so for which Jesus was 1
(Tuciutd was that ho claimed to be divine. -
th.'.t h • wo • lhe .Messiah, that he was the So;. :
of God. .U! this ho was. and by iiumoroi'.-
miracles p.’ • I th.-it he was more than a ■
mere • : The m :ss of tho people we; * '
■.. .■•rtc I:;l! !:ini ns the long ' xpected ?.b s |
siah. B J because his kingdom was not
tempon.l, but spiritual, they rejected l-.iin. ,
Unwittingly the chief priests, scribes mid ;
eld- rs, who reviled r.nd mocked, bore testi- 1
niony to bis having (I) “.-•avt-d others,” (2JW
“trusted God,” and (3) said “I tun tho Son of 1
God.”
V. 44. Up to this time Loth of the thieves j
upbraided Christ, but a wondrous and !
blessed cliunge was now wrought in one. ■
God’s EpirJ «tm turn blasphemy into prayer
and scoffers into saints.
V. 45. T - ’darkness was preternatural,
and was not caused by an c-lipse of tho sun,
for the moon was full, making an eclipse im
possible.
V. 46. X'.’ em to have in fliisexclamat ion
an inlcnsitied renewal of the agony of Get a- :
soniane. 31. • climax of his substitutionary I
sufferings is now reached. In his terrible j
anguish it seemed to the human nature of I
Christ that ho was deserted by God. But h* i
was really not forsaken. He could still say I
“My God.” “E' en if God bides his face |
from us we ueed not despair: the sun of his !
grace is still behind the clouds of judgment.” i
Sehaff.
V. 47, 48. His enemies indulge in a godless
pun upon the word “Eli” to deride him and
his Messianic claims. At this time Jesus nt- i
tered his fifth word from the cross, “I thirst”
(John xix, 2*. ), and in answer to it the sour i
wine in a sponge was lifted to his lips. This j
was a weak wino, without the ingredients
first offered him (v. 34) and could not intoxi
cate. Therefore lie drank it
V. 50. The ransom is fully paid. The atone
ment is ixirfected. Tho old dispensation is
ended. 11 is suffering life is over. The cur
is removed. And hence with a loud voice .
Jesus said, tetelesta, “It is finished,’ John

(Continued from fu st page.)
tho Fourth—lt was dedicated to my lord of
Essex—said she had a good opinion there
was treason in it, and asked mo if I could not
find plans in it that could bo drawn within
case of treason, whervto I answered: For
treason surely I found none, but for felony
very many. And when her majesty hastily
asked mo wherein, I told acr tho author had
committed very apparent theft, for ho had
taken most of tho sentences of Cornelius
Tacitus and translated them into English and
put them into his text. Another time, when
the queen would not bo persuaded that it was
his writing whoso name was to it, but that it
had some more mischievous author, and said
with great indignation that she would have
him racked to produce his author, I replied:
Nay, inadame, never rack his person but
rack his stile; let him have pons, ink and
paper, and help of books, and be enjoined to
continue the story where it leaves oil’, and I
will undertake by collecting tho stiles to
judge whether ho was the author or no.”
Observe tho sly humor with which Bacon
attempts to divert the queen by speaking of
plagiarism as felony. But Mr. Donnelly
finds confirmation of the foregoing account
in the cipher story, one paragraph of which
reads:
“His men turn their backs, and my crafty
okl friend Ilcncc-lOw (Henslowc) flics at tho
first appearance of danger, stumbling under
tho heavy weight.”
Tho first to question William Shnkspere's
' authorship was his rival and enemy, one
Grecno; but this was attributed to envy.
Al< i indor Smith, tho essayist, mado tho ob
scrv.-'.tio’.i (bat “Bacon seems to have written
his <• < ays with Shakespeare’s pen.” Horace .
Walpole c!<as '-1 tho authorship of the plavs |
. among his “Historic Doubts.” In 1853 Mr. ,
Spudding printed a paper, “Who Wrote !
Shakt poaro’s H nrj Xlll?” Soon after
; Chambers’ (Edinburgh) Journal published an
anonymous paper entitled, “Who wrote ■
Shakespeare?” and the author arrived at tho |
conclusion that Shakspcro “kept a poet.” In
1856 Miss Delia Bacon (tho identity of name
with the Lord keeper's is only a coincidence) an
American lady, sister of Rov. Leonardßacon,
first propounded tho theory that Lord Bacon
was the Shakespeare wanted; and from that ■
date it began to assume tho dignity of a
theory, and what was down to that timo :
only an insignificant literary heresy, its ad- I
herents having no rallying point, has sinco '
grown to bo the faith of a united and ag
gressive party, numbering tons of thousands, |
among them many of tho ablest critics and
scholars of the time. During tho last thirty
years some 250 books and pamphlets have
been written upon tho subject. Some four
years ago Dlr. Donnelly announced to the
world that ho had discovered a cipher story
interwoven in tho plays which would end all
discussion. Tho proposition was ono so
astonishing, that its very statement almost
Carried its own confutation. Even Bacon
ians stood aghast, ns if in awo of tho very
miracle they bad invoked. Tho wholo dis
cussion had grown out of the fact that for
more than 200 years tho production of
the plays by Shakespeare bad been
considered a literary miracle, and the dispo
sition of an incredulous age to eliminate it;
and now, what was the result of all this
labor Lut a transposition and magnifying of
the miracle? For what other is it than a
miracle if wo add six cubits end a span to
the stature of Goliahror increase thostrength
of Hercules by superadding Samson’s; or
augment the wisdom of Solomon with
that of Socrates? For surely he does
no less than these who doubles the in
tellectual stature of Francis Bacon, who,
from his known vforks, is adjudged by almost
all great critics to have been the greatest man
that ever lived—Shakespeare alone., if any,
matching him in greatness. If it should bo
proved that Bacon should stand upon the
shoulders of his only supposed compeer to bo
measured for his nicho in fame’s temple;
that, bisected, lie was the greatest two men
that ever lived—have we not n miracle? No.
But we have more, for (hero bo phenomena
that are greater than any miracle, and this
is one. If tho pen that wrote the Essays,
tho Advancement of Learning and the new
Organon, wrote, also, not only “Ixxtr '■
“Hamlet,” “.Macbeth,” “Othello” and “Ju
lius Casar,” but “Romeo and J diet,” “Mid
summer Night's Dream,” “As You Like It,”
“Comedy of Errors,” and others, then, in
deed, was it a magic pen, and ho who wielded
it the composite of all humanity, with a
quantum of divine leaven superadded, such
as has never been vouchsafed to any other
i'or Shakspcre, unlearned as be was, to
have “sounded all the depths and shoals” of
learning, to Lave culled so much wealth from
the <lcbris of dead languages with which he
was not. familial-, was a miracle; for Bacon
to haVe the production of the plays to
that of his other works, was a phenomenon;
and is as much greater than Hie other as tho
equipoise and rotation of the solar system is
greater than tho floating of an axe l ead or
the transformation of rods into serpents.
There are two facts worthy of note: Tho
turning fi- in Shakspere is an expression
of the widespread unbelief in Ills ability; tho
turning to Bacon is an expression of the gen
eral recognition of his transcendent? genius.
If Shakspere did not write tho plays, then
it Dius’t have been tho man -who “made all
knowledge Ins province.” It is also worthy
of note that the greatest merit of tho one’s
uharming poetry is its philosophy; and tho
i greatest charm of tho other’s meritorious
' philosophy is its poetry. If the authors were
not on-’, surely Shakspere borrowed Bacon’s
| vig-?a -I lei: his mu e for surety.

done, hut if it can bo dcnionstratcd, it would

“THE GREAT CRYPTOGRAM.”
. The full title of Mr. Donnelly’s book is:
“Tho Great Cryptogram: Francis Bacon's
Cipher in the So Called Shakespeare Plays.”
It is a magnificent imperial octavo volume
of I.OLX) pages, and is divided into three parts
or bocks: Book I—Tho Argument. Book II
Tm: Demonstration. Book HI Conclusions.
Throughout it is writtun in an easy, entcr
' taining style, such as will hold tho attention
■ of tho reader. From a typographical stand
i point the volume is a credit to tho art pre
' sorvative, being beautifully printed, with
i engraved titles and numerous illustrations,
| all of a very high order. The frontispiece is
' a portrait on ; :eel of Lord Bacon, from the
: celebrated painting of Von Somer. Tho
work is published by IL S. Pcale & Co.,
: whose principal office is at 407-425 Dearborn
street, Chicago. Tho publishers announce
that tho second edition will probably be
issued in two volumes, n ; the original price
of tho work was based on the supposition
, that it would contain only 700 pages. “Tho
Great Cryptogram” is sold by subscription
only, and an army of agents will soon bo in
tho field. It will not be sold in the book
' stores, but orders may* bo sent direct to the
publishers by those who have not had an op
portunity to subscribe.
ATTACK ON THE SUBSCRIPTION BOOK.
The intense feeling again Mr. Donnelly
and his book has manifested itself in almost
! every rm of opposition ima: cable, from
j the flippant charge of halluu:nation i;;d
I crankin ss to the sober imputatu i of willful
and deliberate fraud. Not content with con-
dor : : the book in advance, some have I
gone so far as to find matter of criticism in
t tho method by which the book is published
j and sold—that is, tho subscription method,
t as if that could affect the merit of the work.
. Grant’s, Blaine’s and Logan’s books were all
. sold in this way, and the more important of
Mark Twain’s. By this method publishers
are warranted in undertaking what would
otherwise be too hazardous, and many books
I are thus issued which could not otherwise see
I the light. Some of tho best editions of the
. Shakespeare plays have been published in
i this way, and never could have been pub
lished in any other way. Not only this, but
1 thousands of people are thus induced cc read
1 who rarely seo the inside of a library or book
: store, and tho cottage without a small oollec-
I (ion of choice books is now the exception.
( Besides this an army of enterprising men
and women find profitable employment; and
this book should certainly offer them a field
for rich harvests, for no such literary s risa
■ tion has over occurred.
1 A list of eminent men who have been book
agents comprises many authors and states-
> men. The following is from The Philadel
phia Times:
“George Washington was a book agent.
! and a good one. Prior to the fateful Brad
dock expedition he sold over 200 copies in
\iirfax and adjoining counties in Virginia
-of a work on‘The American Savage.’ Jay
Gould, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Mars
Twain were in early life book canvassers. 8o

poem ‘Excelsior,’ which lie was then evi
dently incubating. Daniel Webster paid his
second term’s tuition at Dartmouth by sell
ing books. Gen, Grant at onetime took an
agency L r Irving’s‘Columbus.’ Bret Harto
was a Look agent in California in 1840 and
’SO. Ex-1 resident Hayes footed it all
over southern Ohio selling ‘Baxter’s
Lives of tLe Saints.’ After the siege of
Toulon, Bonaparte, then a young lieutenant
employed at the capital, and too honorable
to duplicate his pay account, took t he ngency
for the ‘History of the Revolution.’ Bis
marck, Cardinal Mezzofanti, Count Metter
nich, Canning, Lord Denham, and Coleridge,
the poet, were all, at some period of their
lives, book ageuts. So also were Mme. do
Stael and Mrs. Jameson, and Columbus can
vassed for a work on ‘Marino Explorat ions?
James G. Blaino began his businc-s career as
a canvasser in Washington county, Ba.,
where lio sold a life of Henry Cfby. Many
others whose names emblazon the pages of
history largely owe their success in life to the
experience obtained while engaged in tho
laudable and honorable calling of a book
agent." J. IL Bssut-n.
Bill Nyc, having recovered hi?
health, announces that he is pre
pared to be surprised*by receiving
the nomination of either party for

them laugh, while most of their
leaders make them weep.

' FOR CHEROKEE GEORGIA.
It has gone abroad that there will
I be an exposition at Rome next fall,
■ the exact dates as yet have not
I been fixed.
This is a fact, not a mere rumor,
and the Tribune desires to empha
eise the truth, patent to all, that
I this exposition will prove of untold
benefit to every county embraced in
Cherokee Georgia.
It seems like a waste of words
and printer’s ink to enter into any
argument to fortify this statement ,
for every intelligent man will con
cede that such a display as can be
gottenlip by Bartow, I’olk, Chat
tooga, Floyd, Walker and Gordon
counties of their marvelous and
matchless natural and agricultural
resources and wealth, will be an at
traction which would draw atten
tion from afar, and better advertise
the counties than a million pages
of the finest descriptive writing.
What an object lesson it would be !
Rome, as the largest city of this
section, feels a responsibility in
procuring such a display that lias
prompted her to make the initiatory
I move in the matter of getting it up,
and, • as her orator, the Tribune
asks the hearty co-operation of the
progressive, intelligent and liberal
minded men of Cherokee Georgia,
in making the proposed exposition
what it can be made, a grand and
brilliant success. There is nothing
of selfishness or local agrandize
ment. in this move. Rome asks no
favor or help, which she is not wil
ling to return with interest. It is
to build up every section, to push
forward every county named, to
proclaim to the world the glories
and riches of this unequaled por
tion of Georgia, that have prompted
the men who stand as sponsors for .
this exposition, and with the broad
est liberality, the invitation is sent
out. to all who are interested in
mine or quarry or mill or field, to
come in and share equally and ful
ly the benefits which such an expo
sition will secure. In fact, jealousy
is not only wrong, it is positively
injurious. Petty and malicious
imputations of wrong motives, of
selfish designs, of sharp schemes,
must be trodden underfoot, if sb be
they exist, and with unity and good
brotherhood we must work toget her
for the prosperity of all.
The day of the fault finder, the
i the snarling vendor of inuendoes,
I the fabricator.and disseminator of
i base and baseless charges of wb.at
! ever sort, has past, and now is the
hour and occasion for that union of
forces which alone can impel our
common interests to splendid and
rich realities.
Will the brethren of the press
outside of Rome assist in this
work? The Tribune, joined to
them by professional and fraternal
ties,'believes they will. There is
no doubting the loyalty of these
splendid workers, and once enlisted
in behalf of this exposition—their
exposition —they will make it one
of exceptional success and glory.’—
Tribune of Rome.
