i THE SENTENCE OF DEATH PRONOUNCED | AGAINST JESUS CHRIST,

; |

The following is a copy-of the nrost | memorial jucicial sentence which has | ever been » oneunced in the annals of the world, nomely, that of death against | the Saviour-—-with the remarks which | the journal “ Le Droit” has collected, and the knewledge of which must be interesting ia the highest degree to every Christian. It is werd for werd as foliows :---

Sentences provounced by Pontius Pi« late, intendant of the Lewer Prevince of Gaiilee, tha: Jesus ef Nazareth shall suffer death by the cross.

In the seventeenth year of the reign et the Emperor Tiberius, and on the 24th day ot the month ef March, in the most holy city of Jerusalem, during the pontificate of Annas and Caiphas.

Pontius Pilate, intendant of the Pro- vinee of Lower Galilee, sitting to judg- mentia the presidential seat ef the Preetors, sentences Jesus of Nazareth te death ona cros between robbers, as the Rumereus aod notorious testimonies of the people prove.

1. Jesus is a misleader.

2. He has excited the people to se- dition.

3. He is an enemy te the laws.

4. He cal + himself the Son ot Ged.

5. He calls himself falsly, the King ef Israel,

6. Lle went into the temple fellewed by a multitude carrying palms ia their hands.

Orders from the first centurion Quir- rillis Cornelius te bring him to the place ef execution. Forbids all persons, rich er poer, to prevent the execution of Jesus.

The witnesses whe have signed the execution of Jesus are:

1. Daaiel Robaai, Pharisee.

2. John Zorababel. 3. Raphe! Rebani. 4. Capet.

Jesus to be taken out of Jerusalem through the gate ef Tournes.

This sentence is engraved on a plate af brass, in the Hebrew language, and on its sides the follewing werds: “A similar plate has been sent to each tribe.”

It was discevered in the year 1280 in the city of Aquilla, in the kingdom of Naples, by » search made tor Reman antiquities, and remained there until it was tound by the commissivn of arts ia the French army in Italy. Up te the time of the e»mpsign in Southern Italy, it was preserved in the sacristy ef the Carthusians near Naples, where it was kept io a box of ebony. Since then the relict bas been kept in the ehapel of Ca- serta. The Carthusians obtained, by their petitions, th.t the plate might be kept by thera, which was aa acknew- ledgement of the sacrifices which they made for the French army. The French translation was made literally by mem- bers of the eommission of arts. Denon had a fac simile of the plate engraved which was b-aght by Lord Howard, on the sale of hi. cabinet, ter 2590 franes. There seems to be ne historical deubts as to the authenticity of this. The reasons of the sentence correspond exactly with those ia the Gospel.

iin ei ep ei A Baronetin the Dock. A TRIAL FOR FORGERY THAT CREATES A STIR IN DUBLIN.

The trial of Sir Walter Nugent, char-

ed with forgery, will ereate a stir. fie is an Iris barevet of high family and a Justice of the Peace. His appears ance in the dock en achimerical charge is startling coough at first sight, bus the circumstances of the ease are even more extraeruinary. it weuld seem that his wite,who isa daughter ef Sir Richard Moore O'Farcall, is the real culprit. Lady Nugent has, however, fled, and the police are unable to discover her whereabouts. Early im March Sir Arthar Nugeot’s account at the Royal Bank was overdrawn by £11. About that time he wrote te the bank, des manding to huve a bill discounted ter £1.600, and oilering the name ef Mr. Robert Caddell, a trustee of his wiie’s marriage selt.ement as well as his own. He intended ‘orepay this bill in six months with noney which was to come to his wife. The nandwriting ef this letter was that of Lady Nugevt. Later on another letier was received by the bank—tbey having agreed to grant his request—writiea in this same hands writing, ackawwledging the receipt ot the bill reached the bank signed ac- cordiugly, and was duly discounted and placed to the credit of Sir Walter Nug- ent. Not long after that timea cheque for £1,000 was preseated, signed by Sir Walter himsel! (he admits having signe ei this one), ead was cashed out oy the preceeds ot this diseounted bill. The whole £1,600 were exhausted during that month o!' March. On the 27th Sir Walter wrote again te the bank that an unexpecteé call had been made upon him for money, and said :—* My wife's trustee, Mr. Caddell, has consented to join me ia » six months’ bill for

£1,500. He cemanded that £1,506 be placed to his account upon a six mouths’. bill bearing bis own and Mr. Caddell’s name. The bank

wrote in reply to his communication, and received a letter by return of post from Sir Walter to say that Mr. Caddell was coming upen a visit to Sir Walter Nagent. The letter was a trap —one of many. Mr. Caddell had never sigoed the firs: bill, por ever heard of it, and the signature was a fergery. Another skilful feimt made was that Lady Nugent sent a sum ef £113 te be placed to her account io the bank. This she did to show that they were not io any immediate pressure tor money ut the time they were seeking for the seeoud bill, ‘ihe letter in which this valuable depo-it was enclosed, was in the same hand the demand for the first $1,000 had Leen written, and was Lady Nugent's. The defence set up by Sir Waiter is that the forgery was commits ted by his wife, and that he was not respousib.e. Uailwas taken in four surities bf £50) each. —. 2

TWO BOYS CARRIED DOWN THE NIAGARE RIVER TOWARDS THE FALLS—8AVED AT THE ELEVENTH HOUR.

Burrato, May 5. Eddie Davidson, a lad of Mehawk street, son of a ship-ewner, and a com- panion went rowing on the Niagara river atblack Rock en Sunday. The beat got caught in the ice and drifted down the river nearer and nearer the falls. They floated uatil darkness over- teok them. They could hear the roar ef the terrible cataract, and despite their desperate efforts the boat drifted on. They finally resolved te use their efforts in fercing the boat towards the American shore, regardless ef the ice jam. Rain fell to add misery te the darkness, and at one time they gave up and tears filled their eyes. This but acted us an escape valve to their pent- up fear, and they again took ho!d of the oars and pulled the boat through the floes more vigorously than befere finally,as the roar of the falls came pearer and nearer, their boat grounded, but ia the thiek darkness the boys hardly believed they were ashore, and were not convinced until they had driven the boat half out on dry land. It was late, no lights were to be seen, and they made a shelter ef the up-turned boat. On Monday morning they found them- selves below Lasalle. After vainly trying to row the beat up stream thoy gave it up, hoofed it to Tonawanda,and came on by train to gladden two dis- turbed households. Ge How to Stop a Paper.

To the Editor of the Kramimer. Srm,—In your issue of the 9th an attack

is made upon the Steam Navigation Co., by an anonymous writer, over the signature of

‘*Enquirer,” the sum and substance of

which is that the beats of the Company leave too early in the mornings for the con-

venience of travellers.

Yon follow up this letter by an editorial in your issue of yesterday in disparagement of the Company. Your editorial is the sequence of the letter of ‘* Enquirer ;” both were probably written by the same indi- vidual.

As President of the Company I clain: space in your paper to reply. I will not allow misrepresentations to be made over anonymous signatures ; or unfair editorials thereon to pass unnoticed.

I can furnish ‘‘ Ruquirer”’ with the in- formation he aska tor; and which, in your editerial endorsing his statement, you ins- ply could not be obtained. Perhaps you will inform me te whom your enquiries were addressed—unless your memory fails you whether théy were made at all !

‘Enquirer’ asks: ‘‘ Have the P. KE, Island Steam Navigation Company received an increased subsidy this year!’ I answer, NO!

Next : ‘‘ What is the amount the Com- pany receives !’ I answer : Ten thousand dollars a year for carrying the mails daily between Summerside and Shediac ana back ; and four times a week between Char- lottetown and Pictou and back, during open water. This subsidy has not been in- creased.

‘‘ Enquirer” states that the “ Sammer Time Table has been published,” and that

vassengers are knocked up at 5.30 a. m. to Lavk for Pictou. The ‘‘ Summer Time Table” has not been published. The Directors find it necessary during the month of May, in order to insure daily connection with the trains from Pictou Landing to Halifax, to start at 5.30 a. m. After May the steamers will leave Char- lottetown for Pictou at 7.30 a. m.

Tho reason for the early start during May is that the Straits are usually obstructed with drift ice at this season of the year, also land fogs arising from evaporation cause delay, and 1 may almost say that this is the only season of the year when wer- chants are pressing for their new supply of goods after the long winter. As an in- stance of the necessity for this early de- parture, i may state that the St. Lawrence which left Charlottetown at 5.30 a. m. on Saturday last, did not get back to Char- lottetown until 10 p. m.

To use ‘“‘ Enquirer's” language, it is a wanton misrepresentation to say that the boats] are delayed coaling at Pictou for want of labor. The boats can coal up in an hour whem necessary. But when there is a large freight to take out and deliver checked to Railway, and receive another cargo from the cars—often of very small pieces, and thet must be handled with eare, the Captains may not be able to leave on sharp time in returning to Charlottetown ; but this oecurs in the summer very rarely.

our viows on the subject that we copy it witheat comment :—“ You have an undoubted right te stop « newspaper when you fee! disposed, upon payment of arrearages, Do not hesitate to de s.o on account of the ‘tenderness ef feeling’ fer the editor. Don’t yeu suppose he would step buying sugar et you, er meat, clothing, dry goeds, ete., it he thought he was net getting his money's worth? and why should you net exer- cise the same privilege with regard to him? And when you discontinue a paper, de so mantully. Don’t be so spiteful as to throw it back te the pest- master with a contemptuous ‘I don’t want it any longer |’ and have ‘refused’ written on the margin, and have the paper returned to the editor. No gentleman ever stopped it in that way ; oo matter if his head is covered with gray hair, that should be honeurable. if you do not longer wish to receive a newspaper, write a nete to the editer like @ man,saying so—and be sure that the arrearages is paid, That isthe way | to stop a newspaper.’ senility ahi nan

J. G. Heonigar, writing te the Wesleys anon the death of Mrs. M. Pickles, | relict of the late Rev. M. Pickles, which | occurred a short time ago at Andover, varrates a Curieus circumstanee that toek place during the lady’s sickness— when she seemed to have a presents | ment of the death of her brother, Mr. | Benjamin Wilson, which eccurred at | Amberst. Mrs. Picklos was a sister of | Mrs. James Harris. Rev. Mr. Henni- gar writes; Of her elder she talked a!

mate in their childhood and youth, and | desired very much to see him. One day, however, she said, ‘i cannot think of him to-day as among the living.’ The next day and the next she said the same thing,adding, ‘Of course that can- pot be; ao doubt he isliving ’ Next morn- ing she asked ner nurse, ‘Whe did you say was to be buried te-day ?’ ‘Why no one,’ was the reply. ‘Well,’ she said, ‘It is strange; I thought that some one teld me there was a man te be buried to-day, and I saw the corpse and it looked very much like my _ brother.’ Strange toe say, some time after intelli- gence was received that on that very day she first spoke ef him, as seeming te her ameng the spirits of the dead, he died, and on that very day she thought she saw a funeral, he was buried. nn - Tue Drav Mear Trape.—We regret to hear that a hitch hus oceurred at the outset in the carryiag outef Mr. Symes’ arrangements for the shipment of meat from Halifax to Englaud. Mr. Symes, as stated in the ‘interview’ report pub lished several weeks ago, made a con- tract with Messrs. Dickey & Buckley, ef amherst, for the supply of 160 tons dressed beef per month for three years, te be shipped at Haliiax, the first ship« ment to be made on the 9th of May, Arragements were made te ship by the Nova Scotian, and refrigerators were fitted up for that purpose. The requir- ed quanity of meat was supplied by Messrs. Dickey & Buckley, but owing to some misunderstanding between the parties ihe centracters refused to de- liver it to Mr. Symes. Messrs. Dickey & Buckley determined to ship the meat in the Neva Scetian on their own ac-~ count, and Mr. Buckley's son tek pas- sage in the steamer to attend te the sale on the other side,—Hz.

Except during the months of May, October and November, the freight trathc 1s quite limited.

The contract of the Company will expire in 1882. 1 presume they will try to renew it, because there is not sufficient trade to induce a steamboat company to contract to carry the mails with regularity without a liberal subsidy, and if such. was withdrawn, the public would surely have to pay increased rates to make good the defi- ciency, there certainly not being sufficient business to keep up competing lines of steamers. I merely state these facts for the consideration of the public.

Now let us go back say 17 years. At that time the people were looking for some better mode of conveyance than by sueh vessels as the ‘‘ Fairy Queen” and ‘*‘ West- moreland””’ which had supereeded the sail- ing schooners; and Islanders were consiant-

ly reproaehed with living in ‘‘ Sleepy Hollow ” and not caring to maintain com-

munication with the mainland.

A few merchants determined to improve this means cf intercourse, and centracted for the steamer ‘‘ Princess of Wales” They were surprised at the result. Their profits when ‘‘she alone” cccupied the ground were very good. Public opinion demanded another steamer. ‘The Company met the de- mand and put on the St. Lawrence ; doubie expenses did not bring double business and the profits were largely reduced. Since that time the Railway and competing lines of steamers have still further reduced profits so much that probably the stock of the company is now about par. As men of business we don’t mind this—it is often the

| course of trade; but we do mind being ’

nagged at and misrepresented by the press Our steamers are commanded by men in whom the public have entire confidence. The pilots, mates, petty officers and engin- eers are all selected mex to whom the com pany pay the highest wages going. The stewards departments are well attended

The company do not insure, and it is their interest to keep their boats in guod seaworthy condition, and as Captains Evane

and Cameron are shareholders, with their interests in the boats uninsured, it must give the travelling public greater confi-

dence than if highly insured.

All the company want is fair play, noth- ing more. We spend $40,000 a year in wages and expenses between Charlottetown, Pictou, Summerside and Shediac. How much de other lines of steamers, owned in other places, leave or spend in P. K. Island |

S1r,—As general agent of The Dominion Safety Fund Life Association of St. John, N. B., I beg leave to offer the following in- formation tor the consideration of ‘Timothy Timid,’ and the people whom he appears to represent, in answer to his letter in last Saturday's EXAMINER.

The Association referred to adopts a com- bination of an improved plan of the Co- operative or Assessment principle, and the Safety Fund System ; avoiding the dangers and defects of the old ‘* Reserve” plans, and the weakness and uncertainity of the co-operative plans.

it is at once simple, safe and economical, and has the sanction of the best insurance authorities. The leaflet of the Association is prepared with the utmost care, and-con tains a thorough explanation of the system which is so sumple that it can be readily understood by any one of ordinary intelii- gence. There is nothing to mysufy, and nothing kept back.

The Safety Fund invested in our public public securities and held independently of the Association in the hands ef the Re- ceiver General of Canada will certainl keep the members safe against loss by fail- ure of the Association te keep up a mem- bership that would, on assessment aceord- ing to the table rates, produce sufficient to pay a claim.

This system gives the protection of Life Insurance at actual current cost and under it, large accumulations er reserves in the hands of the Directors not being needed, the members retain the mouey they save on account of the small payments required and the division of the interest of. the Safety Fund, reducing the cost to the members, and by degrees becoming equal to the payment of all dues and assessments, makes it the most economical system ever invented.

The managing Directors of the Associa- tion, appointed under the Act of Incor- poration, are gentlemen of known respectability and integrity, stand high in business and professional circles and are well known to prominent business men here. In an e@jtorial comment on the | Association, in the Christian Visiter of May 4th, the Editor, speaking of the Di- rectors, says: ‘‘ These are werthy names and give assurance that the business will be equitably and hoverably transacted.”

For the special benefit of ‘* Timothy

Timid” I would say that the assessments are made over the whole membership at once’ and” not by classes. A more careful perusal of the leafiet will demonstrate this. Heping | have answered to the satisfac- tion of the people and ‘‘ Timothy Timid’ — their spekesman—and thanking you, Mr. Editor, for the space, Lam yours truly, T. C. Wattacr, General Agent.

To the Editor of the Branuner.

Sik,—Genuine Life Insurance is & hamane and beneficent institution, based upon the average duration of human life and the interests of invested eapital, in keeping with the providential government of Ged and the seientific principles of trade and commerce, and the moneys paid for it are, to a very great extent, a sacred trust belonzing to the widows and orphans. The great majority of intelligent, thinking people wili admit that it is important and mecessary to those who have wives, ehild- ren, sisters or mothers dependent upon their daily labor, as owing to the extreme mutability of human affairs, misfortune or death may at any mement overtake them and leave the dependent ones, the dear ones, upon the eharity of a cold world. Therefore, genuine Life Insurance, equit- ably and honerably eondueted, is ealculated to benefit humanity at large.

The extract from the Chicago Times in last evening's ExaMIN@R, showing up the spseu- lative frauds practiced by # host o: se- called Insurance Companies in the State of Pennsylvania is, | fear, calculated to create alarm and distrust of Life Insurance in general in the minds ef some of your read- ers, who may not take the trouble to analyze the statements or reficct whether or not they have anything to do with usin Canada or not.

It has been known in insurance circles for some time that speculative lite insur ance was being carried on to a considerable exten in the Umited States—partieularly in the State of Pennsyivania—by a lot of ‘+ Plug” companies, which are not Insur- ance Companies but benefit societies, taking risks on anyone from 5 to 90 years of age. These fungus aftairs are not subject to Gov- ern mental supervision owing to the Ameri can courts having decided that they are not insurance Companies. Strenueus endea- vors have and are being mace to ferret out these concerns and have their officers prese- cuted criminally for traud, ete. Consider- able progress Las been made in the desired direction, and it is to this that the Chicago limes’ telegram refers.

The lusurance law of Canadajis a strict, jus law, which requires a deposit of money, or approved securities to the extent of at leas« $50,000 from every company dong business withia its boundary. It also makes other provisions for the secamty of Canadian insur- ers. Tbe Misister of Justice has decided that nO company i8 exempt trom this law. We have no *‘ plug’ or ‘speculative Canadian companies that | have ever heard of, and under the existing stringent law, | fail to see that we are at ali likely to have any.

If the people ef Vauada will patronize their heme companies, they need uot fear Pennsyl- vania Plag Companies, or avy other specula- tive gambling American companies, ior as | showed above, under our strict laws such swindles are hardly possible with us.

| would just say Ww the reader, do not be led to\condemn oue of the finest institutions of our country, en account of the Peuusyivania frauds. Thanking you, Mr. Editor, ter the space, | am,

Yours traly, T. C, WaLLace,

“The Great American Desert.”

Ranch life in Kansas is not unlike a similar life in Colorado—witi the excep- tion, instead of living in wooden houses as in Colorade, ranchmen use dug-eurs. The winds are pretty high, and wooden houses blew away sometimes, but dug-euts do not, although the reofs go as the *‘ winds listeth’’ eccasionally. No one ever knew of a **dug-out” falling. Three ‘ cow-boys” Were sitting at their dinner one day ina dug-out near us, when the wind arose out- side and gently pisyed around the gable of the roof wil it litted it about six inches. Then the cow-boys alse arose, and grabbed on to the rafters to hold it down, and in a few moments found themselves on the other side of the Pawnee River with part of the roof. Things were on the rise all that day, and kept going up till mid night, when they fell down topar. A Dutchman, who had made a little pile in stockraising, and who lived about three miles from our ranch, built a snug house— he got toe proud to live in a dug-out. He moved into it just a week before the ‘‘big blow.” Befere the blow had blowed over, he had moved back again into the dug-eut, hiroself and family. The wooden house moved away also, either to Texas or Col- oradv, He never could trace up the whole of it, but part. was found mabig draw about five mules frem his ranch. He be- lieves dug-ouis are the satest, and suv do we, tor we resiae im = Ohe, We are a kind of a sublerme animai now, half under ground and halt over, and lead a kind ot “*high lie below stairs im the cellar kitchen.’ Stoue houses stand the racket; and a wooden heuse, it well auchored, or ‘‘guyed” to the ground with iron rods, does pretty well but cannot always be relied on. After heavy rains, the creeks mse very high and with great rapidity, and everflew, not only their own

‘| banks, but parts of the surrounding praine

A few years ago, when the first ** wheat bvor’”’ set in in Western Kausas, hundreds of settlers flocked in trem East, Suuth and North A great many of them but, or *‘dug,” on the edges of the banks over- hanging the creeks. ‘* The rains descend- ed and the winds blew,’ and in the middie of the night the Kansas deluge took place The settiers had great times getting out of the windows, or through the reot. There Were nov 80 many drowned as im the other ‘‘ Deluge,’ but there were some very ‘17row escapes, espe- cialiy when whole families crawiea through 12x 14 wincow hghta, “it was not » good night tor crawling out either. Lhey Go not build so civse to the banks now. Prairie scencry 18 not greatly diversi- fied perhaps. A Jong wide expanse, as iar as the eye can see, of perfectly ievel swara, now and them gentiy unduiating, uli at becomes what is calied ‘* ruliimg prairie ” might appear to some, accustumed te water views and woodland scenery, a tribie monotonous. It is net so tu us, who like a change,and have left forever almost a wouay wintry country, and the peairie with all its level, its apparent sameness is not without its attractions, For instance, the ditierent soil, the various graves, the buffalo wallows the indiam mounds, the old trails, the Autelope paths, and the music of the rattle- snakes, which like the bag-pipes by the way sounds better at a distance.

In fact, we feel quite at home in the great American desert, and it is just as weil —perhaps—to have this adaptability to eir- cumstances, as part of our mutual disposi- tien, It is wanted out West.

Anti-Jewish Feeling in Russia.

Professor Dragmanefi writes from Geneva that the significanee ef the recent anti-Jewish rising in Russia is much underrated, It is ex- tended throughout the Ukraine, whieh is full of Jews, between whom and the try there has been an undying hatred tor eentur- ies. ‘Lhe trouble dees not eriginate in re- ligious animosities; it is purely social. It is the beginning of a secial war iong foreseen by those familiar with the condition of the Ukraine, and it may assume frighttul proper- tions. Of the three million Jews in Russia, the immense majority are crowded together in the towns and cities of the sovth and west In many tewns they forma majority ef the yopulation, Throngh their hereditary avoca- tions a8 usurers, spirit-dealers, traders, etc., they have made themselves masters alike of the indebted landlords and of the unfortun- ate peasants. It is the deep-rected hatred of the peasant fog the money lender which is breaking out in the Ukraine.

Dear Sir—I advise you of the good results of your VuceTins. My wife’s fatber, now nearly eighty-five years old, was attacked with erysipelas in its worst form, His head and face were swollen so that he was blind, and one of his limbs was badly awollen and dis- coloured, and broke out in several places and discharged His physician said there was no re- medy that could cure him, as he was such an old man, To gratify a son-in-law, he was per- suaded to take your Vecrrine. Seven bottles cured him, and he is now a healthy old man.

Satis- fied that this condition of things arose from poverty of the blood. I took two bottles of Vecerine ; it cured me, and I am satstied it is the best tonic and blood purifier in the mark- et, and am only too happy to make known these facts to the world,
