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.

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.

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.

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 •SAVAN liii.l. MO.-I MSIIILJMi.IS (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. lli i.u’ ! that tio theory should Im? vig- ■ oroi' ’.y coml.i-.t ■ I so I ;ig as it is only a I tln-or). fur it maybe an injustice is being done, hut if it can bo dcnionstratcd, it would ! t ■ ai that all men should kail it with joy, for ' it raises tho standard of humanity to twice j its supposed Light. It is a compliment to the I human race, to tho planet on which we live, humanity should feel such a dilatation j of tho soul as must, for a time, seem like in i fiation. “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 markable.

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.

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. —_ t You can tell a dog and a dogwood | tree by their bark.
