A Buffalo special says: From advices received to-day, through circus people who witnessed the killing of Barnum’s elephant, Jumbo, it ap- ars that the noble beast lost his life while try- Ing to Save that of his favorite, the baby trick elephant Tom Thumb, When Jumbo saw the impending danger, which was notuntil the loco- motive was almost upon him, he Cunt his little friend in his trunk and’ hurled him far out of danger. The little beast struck against a box car with suflicient force to break his leg, and lay there whining liké a wounded puppy. Jumbo made an effort to save himself then, but it was too late and he was crushed, Not only the engine but five box-cars_ were forced from the track by the accident, The Grand Trunk company, which controls the wires at St. Cathe- rines, has attempted to keep back the news and. the facts have been hard to get at. Tom Thumb was shot last evening. CREMATION OF THE REMAINS. A telegram from St. Thdmas, Ont., September 17, tothe New York Herald, says: Professor Henry A. Ward, proprietor of Ward’s Natural Science Establishment in Rochester, N. Y., rived in the city, accompauled by Mesers. Wil- liam J. Critchley and C, E. Akeley, taxider- mists, “He came on instructions from'Mr. P. T.

At one o’clock Professor Ward with his two assistants and corps of elty butchers, stood around the departed Jumbo to take off his skin and dis sect out his bones, The dead monster drew crowds to the last, and there were bundreds on the ground to take a farewell. view. It was supposed that the exhibition would be free, but this was not the case. Some enterprising {ndi- vidual had secured the privilege of collectin; an admission fee. Policemen were placed at suitable points to keep out the crowd except at ihe fleld gate, where ad- mittance was gained by puying five cents, Jumbo stlil lay on the side of the bank in an admirable position to be advantageously skinned, Two of his legs were so placed that they heid him on the inclfhe. The taxider- mists and butchers cut down the back and touk off half the skin. Then they disjointed the two Jegs which held him to the bank, after which he was rolled over without difficulty, and that part of the task was accomplished. The work of dissecting the huge bones was more difficult, and it required all of the ingenuity ot Pro- fessor Ward to devise means to handle the im- Mmense limbs und masses of muscle. While this was being accomplished, in accordance with the order of the health inspector, about four cords of wood were procured and the fune- ral pyre built, The body of the great Jumbo was soon laid on this and slowly reauced to ashes. No other creature, human or brute, ever before had such well attended funeral in | this town and no other will be remembered so long. After the cremation is completed the ashes will be gathered and placed in an urn. HIS GLORY BELONGED TO TWO HEMISPHERES, Jumbo was formerly a British possession and for years was one of the leading attractions of the London Zoological Garden. Thousands of {ttle jingoes have taken rides on his broad back, and hundreds of indigestible substances known as “buns” in the British metropolis have been his daily tribute; but fame never came to the vast beast until the enterprising Barnum coveted his possession, and finally, In the spring of 1882, purchased him from the’ London Zoo logical Society for $10,000, hen the news of the sale was mentioned in the papers a howl of indignation burst from the British public. Whether it was love for Jumbo or Jealousy of an American having secured por- session of the huge beast which caused this sud- den exhibition of feeling, is an open question. However, all sorts of atiémpts were made by Jumbo's English admirers to prevent _his leav- ing the country, and even one or two law suits un with that end. ‘The opposition was irstly, the authorities of ;the Zoo have futil the right to dispose of any of the animalsin the light of personal yperty; and, secondly, they Justified their actlon ‘by aiserting ‘shat sume had grown so vicious that h’s possession had eens source of grave apprehension to his eepers, Jumbo had still another ordeal to undergobe- fore sailing from England, He became the sub- ject of a personal inquiry in parliament.

Evelyn hey, a son of Lord Shattesbury, the philan— thropical earl who is the special patron and pro- tector of animals, replied that every necessary precaution had been taken, and that there was no danger to be apprehended. Finally Jumbo left for this country ana arrived safely in. New York in April, 1882, since which time be has been one of the leading features of Barnum’s circus, Jumbo was su} 1d to be about four years of age when he first arrived ia land, and his age at the timeof his purchase by Barnum was announced tobe twenty. Some authorities are ¢f the opinion that elephants can live for a cen- tury, and most nati ts allow them half that age, so Jumbo may be sald to have been cut down in the flower of his youth. Nor had he reached his full size, for elephants grow until their thirtieth year, and Jumbo might have added two or three feet to bis height and bulk.

By noting what he has to say on some crucial ints, we shi aoe mace more Soar eine er] ny Chnreh in England than among Preabyteriea ministers in Scotland, We observe first that the archdeacon refuses to regard our present Greek text of the Gospel of St. Matthew asa translation from a Hebrew original. Neither will he consent to follow Ewald and others in separating the sayings or logia from the doings recounted. He can see no ground whatever for im; ming the abso- lute unity of the book. For Mark he claims the rank of an independent witness, pronounces him in no sense a copyist of Matthew, and con- siders it extremely doubtiul whether he had 00 much as seen the Gospel of the publican Apos- On the other hand, he decides against the narrative, and iter @ full regital of the evidence ents on both sides of the contro- ‘he archdeacon’s conservatism is con- conviction that we have in John’s Gospel genuine Work uf the beloved disciple. He ad- inits, indeed, that this conclusion {s beset with difficulties, many of which must remain insur- mountable. (Here, of course, he has reference to the arguments of the followers of Baur, with which he has been careful to acquaint himself.) But he insists that objections far more formida- ble may be raised to the opposite hypothesis of Spurlousness, to the theory that would make the fourth Gospel the work of a gnosticizing dreamer of the second century. Hethinks that the forgery of this Gospel in the second century would involve a literary problem infinitely more difficult than would ‘the a nee of “Dante's Divine Comedy” or Milton's “Paras dise Lost”in the days of Walairid Strabo or Alcuin. ‘The readers of Renan’s “Origines” will Teeall his euphuistic reference to the compos!- tion of the fourth Gospel in the name of St, John, as “a little iterary artifice resembling those of which Plato is fond.” Not content With rebuking Kenan’s allusion to Plato as “profoundly misicading,” Mr. Farrar avers that “the matter in question assumes the propor- tions, not of a little literary artifice, but of a Monstrous and inexcusable deceptidn.” The archdeacon does not seem tofuily nize that the question as to what epithet should be ap- plied to the ssltying performance, if there Were one, is quite secondary to the fandamen- tal inquiry as toauthorahip, Itis indispens- able to refute the proofs resting on internal evidence that the fourth Gospel, in its present form, at all events, must have been composed at a date later than John can be su to have reached within the normal limits of human life, Appreciating the importance of ascribing the recital of this evangelist to as early adate as possible, the archdeacon docs nog forget to mention ‘in an appendix that Keim, though he denies the genuineness of the document, puts it as far back as A. D. 100-117. To St. Paul Archdeacon Farrar attributes thirteen i eeeereiemaeere namely, to the Thessa- lonians, the Corinthians, the ‘Galatians, the Romans, the Philippians, the Colossians’ and ithe Ephesians, and the letters to Philemon, Timothy and Titus. The reader will, of course, desire particularly to see how he deals with the doubts that have n cast upon the genuine- ness of certain of these writings, Baur's argu- ments against the First Epistle to the Thessa- lonians are reviewed seriatim, and, it seems to of, But Mr. Farrar scarcely at- tempts to defend the integrity of the Epistle to the Romans, and evidently agrees with those who hold that the mst chapter was really an appendix to @ letter sent to the Chureh of Ephesus, He «oes not assign his reasons for disregarding the suspicion suggested by some Investigators of the authorship of the Epistle to the Philippians. He simply declares, ex cathedra, that “the objections are more than usually weak, fantastic and untenable.” On the other hand, when he comes to the Epistle to the Ephesians, whose authenticity has been seriously impugned, he urdertakes to discuss the criticisms at length, That he does not feel altogether satisfied with his answers is indi- cated by his tendency to fail back on external evidence. He tinds support im the reflection that this epistle was received by the whole church, from the days of Ignatius to those of Sehieiermacher. On the other hand, the au- thenticity of the First Epistle to Timothy Is, to his (ibe | established by internal evidence, and especially by the abundance of memorable sayings which he considers a Pauline charac- teristic. He admits, indeed, that all the pas toral episties must have been written after A. D, 64, for otherwise we should be driven to the admission that they are not from the hands of Paul. Mr. Farrar, therefore, is constrained to assume that St. Paul escaped the Neroniah per- secution, and did not meet his martyrdom until about A. D. 68. He differs widely from most scholars when he insists that all the toralepisties must stand or tall together, Even the most aggressive critics, who eremptoriiy reject the letter to Titus and the First. Epistle to Timothy, are disposed to acknowledge that the Second to Timothy may be genuine. ‘That the Epistle to the Hebrews was written neither by St: Paul nor by any other apostle is squarely “acknowledged. ‘The effect of the overwhelming mass of external and internal evidence is thus concisely stated: “fhe writer of this document cites erat from St. Paul; he writes differently; he thinks differ. ho argues difterentiy; he quotes from a ditterent edition of the Septuagint: he con: structs and connects his sentences difterently; he builds up his paragraphs on a wholly differ ent model. His Greek Is different; his style different. “St. Paul is ragged and impetuous; this writer is elaborately and faultlessly rhe. torical. Even his theolog; HS fundamen- tally the same,.is presented in different termi. nology and wlider different aspects, St, Paul as the apostle to the Gentiles; this writer ignores the Gentiles almost as completely as If there had been no such thing as a pagan ‘in the world.” Nevertheless, we are reminded that this Epistle to the Hebrews is a writing of pecu- ar historical interest, as being our on! ly canon- ical specimen of Alexandrian Christianity, Mr. Farrar inclines to accept Luther's conjecture that the epistle was written by Apollos. On the contrary, the archdeacon considers Lu- ther’s depreciation of the Epistleof St. James as “a downright strawy epistle” tobe a harsh and mistaken judgment, For hisown part, Mr. Farrar assérts not only that there can bé no reasonable doubt of the authenticity of the epistlc, but that we possess the letter in its earllest form. As he has previously assumed it to be the work of James, the Lord’s brother, he, of course, attributes to him the power. of writing Greek. Of the two epistles ascribed to St. Peter, he hold the genuineness of the first to be established by internal evidence, but. he owns that there is less to be said for the second than for any other book in the New Testament canon, less even than might be urged for the | Pauline authorship of the Epistle to the He- brows. For the Second Epistle of St. Peter, “we can offer,” he says, ‘the smallest amount of ex- ternal evidence, while at the same time It pre- sents the greatest number of internal difficul- ties.” Since the Renaissance, indeed, almost all theologians, whether Catholics or tants, have taken their cue from St, Jerome, ho, although admitting the Epistle into the Vulgate, notes that it was in his day rejected by most Christians, Sede nee the deacon, the genuineness of the First Epistle of St, John is prdved by overwhelming external testimony; but he speaks somewhat less posi- lively with regard to the right of the d and Third Episties tmputed to St.John to among the Johannine wri It may surprise some readers to find Arch- deacon Farrar accepting without hesitation the Johannine authorship of the Revela- ton, a book which Luther call a dumb prophecy, which Zwinglius regarded as non. iblical, to which Tyndale would write no Dore ace, and of which Robert South declared In one of his sermons that “the more it was studied the less was it understood, as generally either finding a man cracked or leaving him 80.” Mr. Farrar concurs with those modern critics mbo have tried to make the Apotaly peo intelli. pible by suggesting that the key les in the identification of ‘Nero with the wild ‘beast, ‘The author of these discourses seems to feel no Giffculty in the assumption that books so different as the Apocalypse and the fourth Gos- pel were penned by one and the same hand, ———_+e.___ g Keeping a Carriage. ‘From the London Builder. ‘coachman, world}: ways of spicuously displayed in his affirmance of the |.1 COFFEE AND CABBAGE.

Each proceeds with its own motive power, the second being regulated to need a slight tow from the first, aiforded by means of a thin rope or wire cord. When the netting is reached the first torpedo will stop. The cord between the first and second torpe- does, formerly taut, at once slackens and lets fall a species of rudder ledge or trap underneath the center of the second torpedo, This project- ing ledge being caught ty the water as the sec- ond advances, it is sufficient tod the torpedo down into the water, where It will Progress at an angle of Afteen degrees to the Surface.
