There was no sign of finch- ing or of terror throughout, and from all we can hear his last night was passed either in sleep or in- different stupor, ‘the Ret ir Hollis, who was with him several. times during the week, was unabie to extract any admission of gutit; but the reverend gentleman 1s of opinion that his discourse produced great effect, and that Al Pew, at the last, died ‘“betieving in the Sruib.” The Venerable the’ Arcideacon also saw the Reaaes but to all clergymen, friends and ofticigis ‘man now dead has steadily refused to admit his guilt, Bamford, the hangman, arrived here on Sat- ‘urday @liernoon, and all the other preparations hav- i Nth duly made the prisoner Was informed that atten o’ciock this morning the sentence would be carried out, At ten o'clock the Sheri, Mr. Colies, mounted the steps of the gallery, and, going to the door of the condemned cell, demanded the body of Ah Pew, sentenced to death under viceregal warrant for the murder of Elizabeth Annie Hunt. ‘The formal surrender was then made by Mr. Hy- nd, the Governor, aud the prisoner came out of i8 cell, walking steadily, and looking far calmer than some of Une spectators. The Rev. Mr, Hollis, Who had been praying with the doomed man pre- viously, came out with him, and the Venerable the F becwrrs Was aiso ip the gallery.

At hali-past nine (his morning the Whole town was thrown mto a tremendous siaie of excitement by a rumor, which spread with tire-like rapidity, tiat Mrs. Moss, the wife of Mr. W. Moss, tinsinith, in Armstrong sireet, Lad been foully murdered bya man gamed Janes Cooke, of the frm of Cooke Brothers, tronmongers, also of Armstrong atreet, Unfortunately, these terriiying rumors were correct, Upon hastening to une scene of murder and sui- clde, the shop of Mr. Moss, in Armstrong street, a horrible spectacie presented itself to our eyes, Atretched out upon the floor, covered with crimson gore, the murderer and his unfortunate victim lay within @ few inches of each other, and their eu. countenauces and yacant eyes struck rror inio the hearts of the onlookers, ‘The Warious articles in the shop were covered with blood and bespattered with the murderer's brains, forming a sigit sickening to behold, ‘Tue spectacle Was one witich baffles a jist description, Near the murderer, on the floor, lay the murderous weapon, @double-barreiled gun, from the barrels of which ‘he smoke was yet Issuing. The smoke of powder, the bloody and brain-bespattered floor, the mangled and horrible looking corpses of the murdered and the murderer, these were the things upon which we gazed, while all around presented traces of the ap- paling crime committed. The circumstances at- nding the fata affair, as nearly ws can be ascere tained, are as follows:—At avout five and twenty Minutes past nine vais morning ,Cooke came into the shop of Mr. Moss, at the frout entrance, Mr. Moss ‘Was absent at tue Uime, aud Sirs. Moss, seeing Cooke Some in the door, went into the shop aud spoke to rie ‘The subject of conversation, however, 13 not Own. “ Bivira Dodds, a girl in the employ of Mr. Moss, Btates that sie was looking through a window, and heard Cooke say, in answer to Mrs. Moss, “I'll be back in about five ininutes.” He came back, and Tore unknown conversation ensued, when he took @ black bottle from bis pocket and swallowed some Aiqutd from it. Mrs, Moss asked him what he had taken, when, to the best of our informant’s know- Ledge, he auswered that it was strychnine, He then Yau Co the door, and nodded to somebody, who brought in @ double-vurreiied gan to him (borrowed by him from Mr, Moss a few days before). Fancying that something was about to happen, after Cooke ae swaliowed the contents of the bottle and ob- Gained the gun in such a strange manuer, she called Dut to Mrs, Aioss, Wio Was then standing facing the ‘atop door, and that uniortaunate woman was justin he act of turning round wien he presented ti gun at her and fired. The girl ran out at the back door Yor help, and immediately heard another report. Mr. Kilimisier, saddier, beiug next door to the scene of the murderous calamity, hearing the first Teport, ran With all speed into the piace, and saw Cooke piace the muzzie of the gun underneath his chin and fire. The suicide immediately fell, while the bloody brains and portions of the skull were blown about the room ta Various directions. Mr. Killmisier informs us that he was hardly two inches from the murderer when he took lis own hife, aud that had he becn a minute sooner he could possibly ave prevenied the second fatal shot being fired. ‘Tue murderer and suicide, who feil with lus head ‘Between his victim’s legs, uttered no word and made hardly any eXclawation; but, after a convul- sive movement, lay periectly still, Tue snot did not out the Ife tureud of Mrs, Moss so quickiy, but hardly @ minute elapsed after the first shot was fired veiore both hadgceased to breatie, Tue murderer, alter firing at iis victim, must have quickly ied the weapon upon himself, for report foliowed repurt ‘with Very quick succession.

It was, however, a matter of congratulation to all when Tuesday morning broke bright and clear, with a brilliant sun beaming overhead, giving promise of genuine “Queen's weather” for the benefit of those Who desired to honor her Majesty’s natal day--a promise which was fully realized, for the whole day Was all that could be desired, although there were ominous clouds gathering around the horizon before the evening. During the night, or rather early yes- terday morning, the showers again began to fall, although they were not particularly heavy, nor did by continue very long, ‘he long continuance of wet weather has had the effect of keeping the land injso saturated a condition that it 18 absolutely uuable to absorb any more mois+ ture, consequenily the whole of the rain on this watershed runs off into the river as quickly as it falls. The. etfect of this is that the river rises and falls with almost every change in the barometer ; when the mercury falls the river rises, and vice versa. The showers at the latter end of last week had caused the river to rise from thirteen feet, to which it had fallen on Wednesday, to seventeen feet on Satur- day; it felt on Sunday to about firteen fect six Inches, but commenced slowly rising again on Monday morn- ing. It was therefore confidently expected that a fur- ther rise would be apparent on Tuesday morning. No one was therefore surprised to see that the gauge at the Belmore bridge marked a height of twenty-three fect six inches soon after daylight in the morning. A very strong current was then run- ning down, and there were but too patsy visible the indications of an approaching flood. The news from up country was anything but comforting; for the rain of Monday had extended as far as Murru- Tundi and the Wollombt, the creeks being flooded at the latter place, and the river at Singleton bemg over tweniy-three feet above the usual level. Tho river here continued to increase in volume all day at @ gradual and steady rate. About mid- day it had almost reached the level of the street at the breach in the High street em- bankment; it was nearly coming over behind Mr. Patterson’s and it had commenced to flow once more into te Horseshoe Bend at Penfold’s, The inhabitants of this last named unfortunate to- cality were agai returoig to their habitations, and were again going through the weary labor of clean- ing and drying thelr houses, and Serene their Lares and Penates, in the vain hope that they would be no more pursued by that “unmerciful disaster,” which has overtaken them so many times of late. It is all very well to blame these unfortunate people for returning to their homes—but what can they do? AS we have before pointed ont, there are no houses to be obtained in parts of the town beyond flood reach, and it is not tobe supposed that they could continue to nerd together in the public buildings any longer than absolutely necesssary. There is no choice for them; they are compcled to return to their own houses as von as the water goes out, even though it be at the risk of colds,-fevers, and all the other maladies incident upon living in such damp habitations, Towards evening on Tuesday the water was run- ning across the Bast Maitland road in two or three places, Wallis’ creek had risen nearly to the height of the beams supporting the flooring of the Victoria Briage, and a very strong current was running up the creek, creating quite a little og at the obstruc- tion caused by the remains of the ill-fated flood. gates. The flow of water up the creek had a per- ceptible influence upon the back water before night- fall on Tuesday, and Teg pehed morning this effect Was still more marked. The water had once more Bre covered Nicholson’s lucerne paidock, between Bourke and Devonshire streets, converting into a Sea of water that which had been a day or two pre- viously a bog of mud, and where it 13 almost impos. sible to realize that only three months ago a verdant carpet of lucerne was to be seen, At the back of Mr. Patterson's the river threatened, on Tuesday morning, to overflow into High street. ‘To prevert this @ number of corporation laborers Were set to work, who in the course of the day threw up a temporary, but tolerably substantial embank- ment of earth, which answered tne purpose of keep- pe out the water at this potat. At the back of the Catholic enurch the hollow, where 4 large landslip took piace last week, was again fliled with water, A small embankment was thrown up at this place also, but of such slight dimensions as to appear likely to prove of littie benefit 1u the event of a rise ot only a few inches, and in point of fact it gave way Yesterday. At five o'clock on Tuesday evening the bridge uge showed a height of twenty-seven leet four foe. The rate ofrixe had then begun to slacken, and we do not th'nk that a greater height than twenty-seven feet eight or nine inches was attained at all during the mignt, On yesterday morning there was a very slight deoline, but the river rose again siowly during the morning, and remained all day at Rearly twenty-eight feet above low water mark. The weather cleared up and became fine overhead. At midday yesterday the water was still flowing over High sireet at theembankment, but it had been suc- ces fully kept out at other parts of the main street. It was reinarked that although the current of this flood has been very strong (estimated at over six knots per hour) there has been scarcely any drift timber or rubbish brought down. This is no donbt owins to the fact that the banks of the rivers and crecks up country had beea swept bare by previous foods, and it is @ fact, consolatory as far as it goes, that there is little or no produce left in the dis- trict for the floods to destroy. Indeed, but for the mconvenience and danger caused to human beings, the damage to house property and the delay to agricultural operations, the floods ave now unable to work any great amount of evil. The danger to house property on the banks of the river and evea to the fAligh street itself, however, is considerably increased by every visitation of the kind, especially as the floods follow eacu other so fast that it 1s Lposalble to take any steps to re- pair the ravage caused by one inundation before another is upon us. At present we do not notice any changes in the river bank in or near the town, ex- cept that a large sip has taken place near the oniy reinamlag house, belonging to Mr. Owen Evans, and another portion of the bank has gtvea way near the end of }iunier street; but there is too much reason to fear that the subsidence of this flood will be fol- lowed by similar disasters to those that have been caused by the four previous floods this year. At the back of St. John’s Cathedral and in several parts of the Horseshoe Bend the bank looks very shaky, to say the least of It, The ruins of the government em- bankment in High street exhibit signs of a further crumbling away, On Wednesday morning a strong stream was flow- ing up Wallis’ creek, the water being just one foot from the'top of the wall of the flood gates, or twenty- nine feet irom the bedof the creek. The current, a3 it passed upwards, dashed against the floor timpers ofthe Victorla Bridge, but had not come oyer the carriage way. The water also made its way in a shallow stream over the corn patch in Mr. Miles’ paddock, but there was no other breach from the creck till where, below Mr. Day's residence, it en- tered the holiow and flowed in tie old channel till 1t came to the timber bridge near the mill in East Maitland—Mount’s mill. Here the current was some yards in width, and suflicientiy deep to prevent pe- destrian traiic; tue quantity of water appearing to be, in our view, rather greater than sometimes pours over when the river above 18 higher. But we are so prepared now for variations of levels that we are not surprised at new exinbitons of velocity or depth of current many given locality, and are prepared for novelties of whatever nature. Looking towards East Maitland from the opening of tie Morpeth road the greater part of the farm land lying north of itis seen to be partially under Water, pons of water alternating with strips of land revealing signs of former and deeper submersion.

American Trade Advance and Wecline of British Intereste—The Paciiic Railroad Revelution, [From the Rangoon Gazette (In 4a), May 17.) American energy is now begining to reap its de- served reward in the East, and the suptneness of the British government is producing its effect. Already American steamers have chased the British fag off all the rivers of China, and now thoy are making no mean attempt to dispute with us the sea-borne trade of that country. ‘Toe great Pacillc Railway is in itself as important a triumph of industry, sclence and art as 13 the Suez Caaal, and will eventually effect nearly as mucu change in the trade with China as the Sues Canal will on that with India, And not merely fs tt in the Ring trade that our supremacy is threatened, but also in the actual exchange of products, Hitherto America hag been compel with us im the Chiaa trade against many disadvantages, some of which still exist, but there are undeniable signs that they are fast belng over- come and must soon be numbered with the past. Before the late war, America had to send her manu- factures by such a long and expensive rouie that it ‘was only in @ few staple articles of fine quality, such as drills, that she could offer any real compet tion; since the war heavy taxation and otner causes have continued to crippie her resources and increase the cost of production of her manufactui but now that ner great ratlway has been comple! and has brought New York within Re ag rthge easy dis- tance of San Francisco, aud that port again being connected with the extreme Hast by one of the finest ines of ocean steamers in the world, we cannot but see that the revival of American commerce, already 80 apparent, must do much to destroy for Britain a monopoly which she has let slip through her fingers without even ing a fair fight to retain it, One of Atnerica’s great- est difficulties in the contest has ever been the want of sufmicient produote wherewith to supply China in return for the immense quantity of tea and silks which she recetvex This, a8 we have just said, will be in accomplished by the revival of American mant res, but perhaps still more by the produc. tion of oplum in the States, should that branch of nericnlres succeed as is coufldently anticipated. Already the products of China begin to flow east- ward. The American bark Benelactress lately arrived in San Francisco from China and Japan with 11,000 packages of tea, all of which was to go forward to New York by the Pucifle Railway. ‘This was the first by that route, but it was followed almost immediately by the steamer China, from the game quarter to the same port of discharge, carry- ing 10,890 packages of tea and 165 bales of silk, near- ly the whole of which is likewise to be carried across the American continent by rail. ‘These signs of the times should have the effect of waking up Britisn onergy and of inducing our gov- ernment to take alvantage of every opportunity for opening up new channels of intercourse with one of the richest, most densely populated and least kuown of countries, Such a new channel lies before us ta the old Bhamo route, but it wants something more to develop it than the half-hearted measures wiuch ow- 1,000 Chinese to Wors on the cousuraction of the road, ‘Vhey are induced to take this siep, it is said, because of tue unrelfaliiicy of the negro laborers wo Hive left and are still leaving the road in large @unbera.” government has yet to take, TEE LABOR QUESTION. Ivconsiatency of the Tradespeople, To Tne Evirox oF THR HERALD:— Having read many letters and addresses on the labor question from workingmen aud their sympa. thisers, in which the most important facts which the question involves have been entirely ignored, I de- sire to tax your liberality for a small space In your columns in which to present those facts tothe public, that they may recelve the attention thelr merit en- titles them to, ‘The trades represent but a small proportion of tho labor interests of the world, and being organized on the avowed assumption “that unskilled labor can- not be protected,” their appealing to that branch or department for protection in the present emergency places them in @ rather humiliating position, inas- much as it involves the admission that skilled cannot Well be protected without atd from unskilled labor, Their being organized for the especial purpose ot securing 8 monopoly of certain branches of labor for the benefit of a select few by exciuding the masses from free partictpation in them, their frantic appeul to the masses for ald in effecting their purpose and not proposing a reciprocal favor, has the appearance of adding insult to pif which will go far to jus- tify the denunciations of trades unions as organized gangs of “mean, selfish miscreants.” Therefore, having learned by experience that skilled labor cannot be protected unless alded by the masses, if the trades would justify an tntelii- gent claim to an honorable purpose they will under- take to devise and demand the inauguration of some system by which all branches of labor will be equaliy well protected from the oppression that is Imposed upon all. The bases of such a sys- tem cannot be found in the false theory that “labor produces all, capital nothing, and is there‘ore en- titled to nothing;” for so long as capital 18 employed 43 an agent in promoting production it 16 as much entitied to compensation ay labor 1s. And if it is Just for labor to exactall the compensation tt is able to extort it 18 equally just for capital to do likewise. Labor is not justly entitied to favors; caplial asks none. Recognizing the justice and Meat! of this theory, we will regard It folly to contend that there is no natural antagonism of interests between labor and capital, for we will perceive there is, and which can only be overcome by inaugurating a system that will insure an abundant produc- tion and equitable distribution or exchange of cor Modities without the aid of capital, but oy labor only. Such a system can be devised, and will he in- augurated when the masses are suMciently enlight- ened to comprehend the necessity for demanding it, Then the byrden imposed hy capital will be removed anu no violence or injustice doue to any c! J. A, TUTTLE, A MAD STONE, How Hydrophobia Is Cured Out Wi [From the Joliet (Ill.) Republican, July 9.] On Sunday, June 26 Georze H. Jacobs and wife, of Holderman’s Grove, Kendall county, im this State, were bitten by a mad dog. They owned the dog, chained him and he died on the following Tuesday; hence there could be no mistake about his being rabid, and they then realized their terrible position. Having heard of some person at or near Morris that had long before been bitten and was cured by the application of a “mad stone,” Mr. Jacobs at once started to find him for the purpose of ascertaining the location of the stone, &c. He found that it was owned and kept by J. P. Evans, in Lincoln, Logan county, Ill, Heat once took the train for Lincoln, arriving there on Thursday morning after he was biitep, and the stone was tried. He then tried to telegraph from Lincoln to his wife, at Morris, to come to him. The ent informed him that Morris was on an opposition line and that they would not receive messages that were to be sent over that line, The nature and object of the despatch weve explained, and pay for the transi ion tendered, yet the agent said he would not send it, and there was no use of his talk- ing any more about it. Mr. Jacobs had no other alternative le/t him but to go home after his wife, which he did, after making arrangements with Mr. Evans to meet him here tn Joliet with the stone. On Monday Mr. Jacobs came, and on Tuesday evening last (ten days after the bite) Mr. Evans came and made five applications, The stone is smail, being about one inch and a half long, nearly one inch thick and perhaps one inch wide at the place of its Sreatest width, and seeming almost as porous as honeycomb), When removed from the wound It emits an odor similar to that of a dead snake, only more rank «nd nauseous. On the first and second applications, of abouttwenty minutes each, Mrs, Jacobs says she Cid not feel any sensation other than she would have felt had aay other hard substance been placed on her hand, but the third application of the stone drew so hord that it was actually painful to bear, and when taken off left the impression of the pores of the stone on her fingers. When the stone is taken the wound it is placed in water for about the same lengih of time that it Temains on the bite. Mr. Evans says that the stone Was brought from Wales by his great | Peete. Caged to Virginia, and by his grandfather to Kentucky, and his father brought it to this State forty years ago. At his father’s death, twenty-one years ago, It came into his possession, and since then he has applied it to over one thousand diferent cases, and always with perfect success, except in one instance—that of John Bennington, of Minoak, in Woodford county, eleven years ago. He was frightfully mangled from his elbows to the ends of his fingers, and no app! cation was made until he had the disease. by Teason of there being so many wounds, and it being 80 long (three weeks) after he was bitten, the poison seemed to accumulate as fact stone could draw it out, The man would be rational as long as the stone was applied to any of the wounds, but as soon as it Was removed to be ceaused he would take a fit, and so he continued—rational when the stone wason and raving mad when off—until he died, Mr. Evans cannot tell how the properties of the stone were disoovered, nor how long they have been known aad in use, It bisbeen in his own and bis ancestors’ family for about two hundred years, THE CAUSE OF MLNISTER MOTLEY’S REMOVAL. (Washington correspondence (12th) Boston Post.) A Western republican Senator who called at the White House to-day took occasion to expr his regret at the rumorod recall of Mr. Moticy, which, he said, would be unjust towards that gentleman, who has established himself 1 London at great expense, expecting to remain there during the pre- sent administration; besides, many would regard tis recall asa blow at Mr. Sumuer for his oppost- tion to the ratification of the St. Domingo treaty, Tie President, with some warmth, emphatically denied that he had maniested any persouai feel- ine toward Mr. Sumner in proposing to change our Minister to Great Britain, Mr. Moiley’s course in the management of the Alabama claims, whici was not in accordance with his instructions, had not met with the approval of the administration, and a change in the Legation at London had consequently been determined on.

Warerviirr, N, Y., July 16, 1870, Flder F, W. Evans, the principal mouthpiece of the New Lebanon Society of Shakers, delivered a discourse to tue members of that order at this vil- Jage this morning, which, on account of the novelty of some of its points, will, no doubt, be interesting to the readers of the HERaLp. His subject was The Marniage of the Lamb and Bride,” He satd that in the first age the creation of the human race was fected through the agency ofan order of intelligences: In the first and, to us, invisible spirit world, which world, however, though invisible to us, is neverthe- Jesé material, Adam and Eve are generic terms, a9 are also Enoch, Methuselah, Noah and others. The two first represent not one man and woman only but an order in number, and an epoch in time. In the first geological epoch human beings were Spoutaneously produced from the elements of earth, Which elements were visible and invisible—“stand. ing in the water and out of the water’—under the direction of the intelligences referred to, IN THAT EPOCH . they did not reproduce, but lived and dled celt- bates—were born eunuchs and virgins, This may be termed the Garden of Eden epoch. + The second age was when men “began to gen- erate and multiply? among themselves “upon the earth;” and the two processes of spontancous and generative creation moved on together, were inter- blended, and produced two orders of people—“the Sons and daughters of God” and “the sons and daughters of mon.’ These intermixed and degen- eracy followed, that 1s, the “fall.” Gradually they became more and more corrupted, and regarded jess and less the law of the second age—sexual commerce for procreation only, under the direction of the procreative angels of the first sphere. These ANGELS CO-OPERATED WITH THE ELEMENTS OF FARTH to produce the flood as the only means of checking the flood of moral and physiological corruption which was rolling over the whole earth, “eating and drinking, marrying and giving tn marriage,” for mere sensual gratification, regardless of the law of use a3 applied only to the sustentation of the indi. vidual and the continuance of the race. Yet the deiection was not total, “Enoch walked with God; Was obedient to the ruling angels in all things, bay- ing received & ministration from the seventh or Christ heaven—the resurrection heaven—as a pro- phet of the future order, He ropresented an order of men aud women—a Churech—“The Sons of God.” Noan represented,the procreative order of men and women who were subject to the natural law and under obedience to the generative angels, so that eran they held him as a natural celibate for six hundred years he did not fail from ins integrity, nor did he become a Christian; therefore Noa aud his posterity were savéd in nature. In the third age the posterity of Noah divided into the obedient and disobedieat as regarded the physio- logical laws of nutrition and reproduction. Abra- ham was of the former, and the angels separaied him from his kindred and country, to create through him @ new order or nation, He bad himself par- taken of the general leaven, and > IN HIS GENERATIVE NATURE Hagar represented the old heatuentsh and Sarah the angelic. With the latter he was held in subordina- tion to the procreative angels unti “Sarah was past age, and himself as good ay dead —4, ¢,, naturally, generatively, Abraham's posterity—{saac, Jacob, &c,—were the “sons of God’? of this epoch, and Were more or less wicked and disposed to amalgamate with the bea- then people with whom they ilved ana by whoin they were surrounded. rlence a “law of separation’? was established as & means of protection, which law was always enforced when they were in favor aod relaxed when they were disobedient, Therefore, in the midst of “the peopie of God” there was a still higher order “who did not bow the knee to Baal,’ but, like Noahand Abraham, were, in their sexual re- lations, subject to the generative augeis. This formed a line of religious reproductive Jews, with whom Were conjoined the creative angets in the in- visible earth—the line of the Messtah—which, on the tule side, ended in the production of Jesus, by the agency of Mary, his motuer (who was of that order onthe earth, Deing a daughter of David tion with David (called Gabriel) his fatter m tne in- visible earth, vitalized aud directed by those angels who originally created THE ADAMS AND EVES of the frst epoch. ‘Thus in Jesus there was the Alpha and Omega, tue beginniag aud the end, physicaliy and physloiogicaily, morally and spirtiu: ally. Elijah represented the Christ order and was a Spirital descendaut of Meichisedek, who, in the days of Abraham, was the ruler of a church of celibates, who were celibates not because they were held, lke Noah, by the creative angels, but be- cause, h, they had rece! from the seventh or Christ Hea first fruits’—prophets; for the Jews, who had passed into the second sphere, were stil tn their generative nature just as much as before, the rigit- cous being in Paradise, the wicked in Gehenna, Hence David was au available medium, through whom the angels could operate, beng more mate- rial than themselves and nearer to the Virgin Mary than they could come. “Be it unto ime as thou hast said,’ and she conceived, ‘The Lord visited Sarah, ashe had said; and the Lord dit unto Saran as he had spoken;"’ and she concetved Isaac as Mary con- ceived Jesus. Thus in Jesus the work of the crea. tive angels was finally accomplished; the earth ele- ments had produced the * ing Man’’—the “Son of Man,” towards whom they had been operaung for thousands of years. In him was concentrated te ENERGY OF THE CREATIVE ANGELS as a directing power over the generative function of the race, conserved ani ultimating in the pertected earth organism of the highest line of ancestry in exisience. Also in him, Jesus, 28 the last of the race of prophets (commg down through noch, Mel- chizedek, Elijah, Join the Baptist, all inspired from the Christ heavens) we have a “called of God, High Priest after the order of Melchizedek,” who was “before Airaham’? in point of exisience and in the dignity of his order, being ministered unto by a higher than the “God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob;? and therefore Abraham was biessed of Meichizedek, Who was not a physical warrior, but a “king of righteousness and peace,” aud “by nature’’ was of the first or Eden age, and not fallen, but was spontaneously produced, withont (earthly) father, without mother, without descent from an earthly ancestry; while Jesus had an ancestry, as also had Abraham, and consequeatly inherited im some degree the fallen natare of man and woman as well as the original nature of the creative angels, who were uniailen; while Melchizedek, having (a8 @ natural man) neither “beginuing of days,” nor (as @ spirityal man and joined to the eternal Christ order) ‘end of life,” was made “Jike unto the sons of God,” aud abideth # priest continually, even when out of the body, “To kuow Thee, the only true God," and to be joined to the Chrisi order “is eternal life.” “Now consider how great this man was unto whom ABRAHAM PALD TITHES” (and Jesus also) ‘in his loins;” and after whose order Jesus was made a@ priest by being subject to his representative John the Baptist, unto whom he confessed his sins of omission and commission, and was baptised unto repeutance In water; and then unto redemption ia spirit; again was by John further baptised into the Christ spirit; thns being made a “High Priest for- ever after the order of Melchizedek”—the Christ order, Thus was He “holy, harmiess, and undefiled by generation, separate from sinners and higher than the generative heavens,” from e Abranam received his ministrations and @ his descendants, in and out of the body, cre- atively generated Jesus. All of the prophets, when acting in that character, were in or of the order of Me.chuzedek, and were INSPIRED FROM THE SEVENTH HEAVEN to utter sayings and predict a condition of things iucompatible with the Jewish order of generauion, monopoly, private property, wars and the sins grow: lng out ot them. lence the people stoued the prophets and killed thuse that were sent unto them by the Christ spirits. Upon this hypothesis if ali the human race should become extinct the yisiple and invisible elements of the earth would soon repeopic it. So also in relation to the various genera of anl- nials. For the original powers and forces exist and would soon bring animal life again into existence, Jesus became the first perfect ink that joined the Christ, heavens and the human race together. ‘If 1 be lifted up I will draw ail men uato me” in due time.”” Cuncetving the first cause as dual, the first expres- siou of bin Inan Was mascuilue; tie secoadt Lent nine in each epoch, Aud as with the creation of the paysical, So with ihe creation of the spiritual, Jesws Was the fruit of the eastern, or male, Old World, which was intens' institutions, arising from its ta sphere and proper office of woman, ever holding her asan inferior and subordinate betng, designed to minister to man’s Lower nature, or aulinal propensi- ties, In the sympathy and tenderness of Jesus towards the female sex we see the beginning of a change in that respect, THR WOMEN STOOD ATAR OFF i He wept for them be- cause of their coming suiferings. ‘The daughters of Jerusalem” were His special friends, Re pre- dicted that the second extabition of tho Christ spirit Would be to constitute a high priesiess—a woman— who should be the fruit of the feminine or Western portion of the Old World; and that she would ratse Up & people out of the Gentile world who should be & people of God.

But as this Gentile Mother Church has six other cycles or degrees to pa-s through before the end comes, wherein it shall be “perfect as God is per- fect,” there is HOPE IN HER LATTER END; for the marriage of the Lamb and bride will consum- mate the work of redemption, and thousands wilt be invited to the great last supper, which will be for ali peoples, kindved and tongues upon and within the visible and invisible worlds, John saw the New Jerusalen, its spirit and princt- ples, in the spirit world, “coming down from God out of ‘heaven.’ It was composed of Jews = And it was said, “the tabernacle of God is with men; and He will dwell wiih them, and they shall; be His people, There shail be no more death or pain or sorrow or crying.” The power of the testimony of the Father Charch reiative to all earthiy good would be re- ceived by the Mother Church; and they would jointly sing the song of Moses and the “new song’ of the Lamb— salvation of body and redemption of soul. ‘Then shail the civil government be after the pattern of Moses; generation wil. be regwated by law; land wit ve held by the government for all the people; drink, diet and dress will be prescribed by organic Jaws, and war will cease to be the business of Curis- tan nations, Woinen will be admitted to ofices equally with men and the ‘octal evil” shall cease toexist.

Cave in the Yellow Jacket Mino in Gold Hill, Nevada—Four Men Killed, (From the Gold Hill News. | About half-past seven o'clock on the evening of the 30th ult. a cave occurred between the 800 and 900 foot levels of the Yellow Jacket mine, whereby four miners were buried and Killed. Thetr names were idanuel Alaineda, Patrick Doherty, Joon Ken- nedy and & Hanson. The polat where the cave oc- curred Is the rich body of ore between the levels mentioned, at the seventh and eighth floors above the 9v0 footlevel, The ore yen has an inclination of forty-five degrees, and at this particular point it was excavated iive sets of timber in length, includ- ing @ spaw nearly 30 feet long by 10 or 12 feet wile. Above these the floors and excavations extend to the 800 foot level, and below to the 900 foot level, A. seam Of clay, charged With a seepage of water al- lowed @ large fake of Ore and vein matter to discon- nect itself from the hanging wail, crushing by its imme: weight, in a laterai as well as perpendicu- lar direction, the heavy sets of timbers, car- rying the seventh floor down upon the sixth with a heavy crash, The excavation being recent all the timbers were new, placed in sets five feet apart and solidly keyed against either wail, so that above the Cave the Umbers are still as firmly in place as ever, preventing further caving, here were thirty or forty miners working in the vicinity, put only the four mentioned were caught by the cave and buried beneath the debris of broken timbers ant ore, Th men were employed wheeling ore and dumping it down a shute. Tom Quird, the foreman at that pot, came very near being caugit, aud it was only y being Pada lively in his movements that he escaped, None of the other miners were injured; these four were the only victims. As soon as the cave occurred several brave men from the floors be- low hurried up the ladders to vie rescue, knowing full well that some of their comrades mast be there and in need of immediate help. The danger was great, for timbers were still cracking and picces of ore falling, yet they ventured close to the ruins, and the light of their candies re- vealed oue man jammed among the débris and sull alive, ‘This nan was Hanson, They could get near enough to touch him, aud he was able to freely converse With them, A heavy thuber across his hips and others about his legs held him fast.
