Fory o Reply to J. M. Thurston's Recont Address in This City, Oscrora, Nob,, July 8§, ~To the Fditor of Tar Ber: 1 sce 1 Tne Bre of July 1, an extract of a lecture by Hon. J. M. Thurston, which I shall attofffpt to criticise through your paper. " Dryden says: ®foing a layman, T ought not to have vnmva,d myself with specula- tlons which belor® 4o the profession ” But it seems toYWe, 1f n lawyer has aright to preach, a layman has the right to criticise his sermon 'L As alawyer anfl frator, Brother Thurston, you are held in very" high estcem. but as a proacher you are a decided failure. You first try to prove that our secular laws are based on the divine law of Christianity by asserting that “jurisprudence is the svionce of law; religion is_the jurisprudence of divine lnw. The divine law of Christianity is based upon three ossential beliofs, ete.” Now we understand science is true knowl- cdge. Then Jurisprudence would be a true knowledge of law. While you truly say, *The divine law of Christianity is basod on belief, o, any one can sco at a glance from your own showing that our human law is based on truth, knowledge, fact, while the so-called divine law of Christianity is based on faith, or belief. Now we undorstand, in speaking of the divine law,” you have reference to the bible, for thero is whero the Christians get their evidence for their beliof. Now we un- derstand that human law is basod on truth, knowledge, fact; the so-called divine law is based on_belief. There is o great difference between knowl- edge and faith. (ou say ““from the oarliest history of the common law down to the present day not only has the law itself been based upon tho law of God. butall legal forms and procoed- ings have been so constituted and devised as to continually assert and keep before the public eve his power, ete.” Now to show how untenablo this assortion is, let us compare the two laws, We read in God's law, the biblo, that there are no de- grees in the punishment for crime. The man that picks up a bundlo ot sticks to warm himself on the Sabbath has to suffer death, the same as theman who willfully and deliberatoly takes thelifo of his fellow being. Human law has degrees in punishment; di- vino law says it 1s lawful to take usury from a stranger, see Deut. xxiii., 20. Human law says it1s unlawful to take isury; divine law punishes the innocent with the guilty. Read Gen. vi, 7. What crimes had little vrattling babes committed that they should be pun- ished? Human law considers every man_ in- nocent till he is proven gwlty; divine law suys “if any man will sue thee at the law and take away coat, lot him have thy cloak also. Matt. v, 40. Human law demands nothing but justico; divine law law says “take 1o thought for your life, what yoshall cat, or what ye shall drink, ote.” Matt. vi, 25, Human law punishes vagrants who won't provido for themselves; divine law accepts the sacrifice of innocent blood s an atonement for the guilty. Human law de- mands a just retribution from the guilty, and lets the innocent go freo. Human law is based on justice and equity ; where di coincides with justice and equity it coincides with human law. But again, my dear sir, you enter into the arena of debate and thy 1o defend the *‘be- lief” on which you|say the divine law is based by asserting that “‘there are two un- nswerable, conclusive proofs of the exist- ence of a Gol." Your first proof is “The created is proof positive of u creator.” Now the question|arises, What is the meaning of the wont “create?’ Webster defines it thus: *“To bring into being; to form out of nothing; to cause to exist.” The church gave this definition to the word long before Webster's tima. He only reiterated the current definition] Now, my friend, ‘sr you will prove that this is the correct definition, then we wiil concede that your proof is unanswerable, For nothing short of a creator could create or make something from nothing. But will you dare defend that definition? Unless you do your watch theory falls to the ground, from the fact that there is a vast difference between making or forming something out of materiat already on hand and forming it out of nothing. But for argument’s suke suppose we admiv that there is a creator, and that he created the uni- verse of worlds out of nothing. Then in that case there must have been a beginning, as the bible s In the beginning God ed the heaven amd the earth.” Then questions conre up: What was the Cre- ator doing before the beginning, and what cansed him to commence the mighty plan of creating suns and worlds and planets? Mil- ton forcsaw this dificulty swhen he asked the solemn question, **'What cause moved the Creator, in His holy rest through all etermty, 50 lute to build in chaos?” Wo have no doubt but this thought stirved the great mind of Milton to its very depths. Now reason teaches us that the cause is greater than the effect produced. Then we know if the uni- verse of matter was createa by a creator, there must have been a cause to produce that effect. Then if that be a fact, there must have been a creator, greater than the creator, that created the universe out of nothing. Don't you see you would have an infinite number of creators? My dear sir, you will have to come to the } conclusion the old woman did when she suid the carth stood on a reck. She got to think- ing what that rock stood on, and she came to the conclusion that there was rock all the wiy down. You pronounce the saying of an “elegany Ingersoll” untrue, and make the assertion that “all forms of sun worship, the earliest idolatry of nearly all races, arose from the adoration of the sun, not as'a god itself, but the most glorious representation and adora- tion of God."

Hydrophobio Skanks Which Attack Sierp- Ing Campers. ‘It is not the rattlesnako or tarantula whose bite is most dreaded by campe out on the far western plains. The hunters and cowboys are far more afraid of tho skunk, and that for a reason that might astonish a great many people who do not know the plains country. The land surveyor from New Mexico was talking. A New York Sun reporter, who was one of the group sitting with him at a table in the Murray Hill cafe, at first thought he was *‘queering” the party, but the surveyor went on in per- soriousnoss, “‘Like the prairie dog and badger, the skunk of the plains makes its hole in the open praivie. In size and markings and characteristics, means of defense and offense, it closely resembles its rela- tives in the east. Like them, it is car- nivorous, and prowls about at night for small birds and mice and insects, and, when occasion serves, is an invetorate robber of poultry yards. If a person comes upon it away from 1ts holo the skunk doesn’'t waste its energies in tiy- ing to run away, but impolitely turns its face from the intruder and stands its ground with confidence that no one will be tempted to approach too near. It is its fearlessness of man that makes this wretched little beast such a terror, for it will boldly en- tor a tent or come anywhere that per- sons are asleep on the ground, and if it finds nothing about that better suits its taste, will begin without hesitation to eat at_the hand, face, or any other part of a sleepor’s person that chances to be oxposed. This wouid be bad enough of itself, for the creature’s weasel teoth ar sharv as knives, and & man man find himself badly lacerated when ho fully wakes to what is going on. But the mastering horror of the skunk's bito comes from the fact that it almost in- variably results in hyd ur]whi:t to the vietim.© Why this should be I can't pre- tend to explain, and probably nobody clse can tell; but every plainsman knows it, and the cowboys dread fl\xlw beast e “The period shown by the army r ords in which the groatest number of peopledied from this cause on the plains was between the years 1871 and 1 During this time many persons were bitten, most of them fatally. Colonel R. J. Dodge of the regular army, who died the other day, knew by report of sixteen cases, overy one of which proved fatal. One army doctor, Assistant Sur- geon Janeway, stationed at Fort Hugo, reported in the Medical Journal cleven cases that he treated or knew of, in ten of which the patient died of hydro- phobia. It was in those years that the buffalo practically was "~ exterminated, and the hunters and their outfits of helpers, living upon the open prairie and sleeping in the open air, were peculiarly oxposed to the attaaks of these vicious night prowlers. For four years the plains country was noisome with the carcasses of buffalo killed for their skins and tongues and left on the prairie. Gray wolves and coyotes and foxes had unwonted feasting in this vast slaughter yard, and that civenm- stance may hayo had someihing to do with the fact that many of these I ts ran mad, sometimes dashing into settle- ments and éncampments, attacking every living thing they met and causing great havoe of human as wéll as brute life. As to whether skunks run mad, which some plainsmen hold to be the cause of their frequent invasion of sleoping peo- ple, or at least of the venom of their bite, has never been fully determined. But the expectation of finding meat ready at hand to feast on, with no trouble to themselves, which condition existed twenty years ago wherever a buffalo hunter had been shooting, might naturally have mado them unusually fearless, and made them unwilling to hunt for their natural food when they could find 50 good a chance as would be offered by a sleeping man, “Still, every year numbers of persons are bitten by ‘skunks on the plains east of the Rocky mountains and west of the ninety-seventh meridian, and some cases prove fatal, but I am inclined to think that there are fewer deaths from skunk bites now than there u the country has practically been turnod into one vast cattle range the poisonous little beasts have been killed off to some extent for their skins, and th ct that they are hunted may have made them shyer. Perhaps, also, their bite is less venomous than in the duys of indis- criminate buifalo slaughter, “Itis now about twenty years since the cowboy of the Texas Panhandle made his famous ride for life. He was bitten by a skunk while sleeping by his camp fire, and realized all his danger. Some of his companions remembored to have heard that 500 miles away, in a town of eastern Kansas, there lived the owner of a famous ‘“‘madstone,” reputed to possess the nower of drawing the poison from wounds mado by snakes or bid animals. Night and day the cow- boy rode at full speed for this town and safoty. Atevery ranch where he halted he found a willing exchange of a fresh horse for his tired animal, and his jour- ney was tireless. It was a vaco for life, and he won, Horeached his destination on the third day, the “madstone” was applied to the wound, and, after adher- ing for days, at last fell off and ‘would stickc no longer, and the owner of tho stoue pronounced him cured, Whether through this treatment or from natural causes, the wound healed with no further trouble, and he returned to his herding in the Panhandlo with firm faith in the madstone and the thankfulness of one who has escaped a horrible death,” plscili s Bulloon asconsion and parachute jump this afternoon at Courtland Beach, et - E Nearcity of Mistle The mistletoe, which has so shipped every year in such lurg from France to cult to find next w worse than they do the rattlesns long been quantities sland, will be more difi- ster.

San Frane | Tt was almost sundown and two pros- { peotors, namod Charles Wilson and | Harry Fuson, were returning to th | swmp with provisions, They had been | twonty-five miles to obtain® what they | had on their horses’ backs and we glad thoy wore nearing camp, where they could rest aftar tho hot journ across the plains of the Santa Cruz val- ley in Avizona, The sun wasejust sinking behind the mountains when they came in sight of | their tents. Suddenly both horses stopped and throw up their enrs and commenced to pant. Tho two men know in an instant thiat thore must bo somo sort of wild beast in sight, and steained their eyes to seo what it was, Thoy couldn't soe anything, bt their dog ran ahead barking and disappeared behind a tent. A moment lator they heard growls and squeals, and hastil tying their horsos. ran ahead to tako }rm-t in the fun. But they wore too late, or the beast hoard them ecoming, and when they got to the place it had gono crashing through the woods with the dog aftor it. The men both knew that it was too lato to follow with safoty, and, bosides, they were exhausted trom their long ride, s0 they ealled the dog back, but mado up thelr minds to go after their visitor early in the morning. This was all well cnough, but they didn’t know just what that visitor was, nor where he had gone. But it made no difforence anyhow, because the visitor came back before morning and they had all they wanted and only by a streak of lucic eseapod with their lives. It did not take long to cook supper and smoke a pipe full of tobacco, after which both retived to their tents, which were only a fow feet apart. Charle, wont to slecp in a few minutes, but woke up a few hours later. What di turbed him hoe could not tell, and he lis- tened intently, but all was silent. He turned over” to go to sleep again, but somehow felt nervous and restless, und at last got up and went to the door of his tent and looked out. The moon was shining brightly and a gentle breath of air moved tho branches of the trees, so that the lizht through the leaves danced and quivercd It looked peaceful and there was not the slightest suggestion that such a thing as danger was near. Charley was about turning to go back into his tent when it struck him as,queer that the dog was not around, as that member of the party was always on the watch at night. He listened awhile and then gave alow whistle. The dog did not come, and he knew at once that somothin; | must be wrong. He then called loudly, and at the samo timo called Harry, bit only the soft wind moving among the leaves answered him. Now a feeling of fear came over him and he felt sure that somothing had happened that awakened him, but not soon enough for him to realize it. Ho ran to Harvy's tent to awaken him, but found his bed empty. There was no doubt now but there had been trouble and possibly a tragedy. Charley went back to his tent and got into his clothes as quickly as possible, abbing his rifle went out to look igns of a fight. There was none sible, so he started in the direction ho had heard the animal go through the brush the night before. Silence was never more profound and Charley stopped every few minutes to listen for some sound that would guide him in the direction of his missing friend. He then commenced to call as. londly as he could, butno answering voice came back. And so0 he climbed over the hills in all aireetions, straining his eyes in the hope of seeing something throngh the faint moonlight. He had returned to the camp twice in the hope that Harry might have come back. On the last trip there he looked through his partner’s tent and was surprised to sco all his clothes and weapons in their ac- customed places. It was plain now that somothing strange had happened. and he started over the hills again with his rifle cocked. He felt suve that the animal that came to the camp in the evening had something to do with the disappearance of Harry and the dog. Phis time he kept in_the same dirce- tion, and had traveled over an hour when he heard the bark of a dog. He was not sure that it was sheir dog, but ho hoped that it was, and at any rats ho started in the direction from which the sound seemed to come, Tho bark grew louder all the time, and itscomed as if the dog was angry and furious. There wevs snaps and snaps, and then it seemed to stop, as if he was chewing something. As Charley got nearcr he eould h the growl of some large beast mingle with the dog’s bark, and he guickencd his steps. He stumbled over rocks and fallen trees and at last came 1 an open space dt the foot of a hill, whore the barking secemed fo be. He strained his eyes several moments before he distin- guished any moving fizure in tho dim moonlight, although the growling and barking sounded very near. At last he mado out a dark figuro that moved slowly, and he went in that divection on arun. A few-hundred yards and he was in the thick ot the disturbance. He saw a grizzly she bear at least eight f high standing on its hind legs and carrying tho limp body of a man in its forepaws, His dog was snapping at the bear's-hams, and a well grown cub was near by doing all it could to keep away from the dog. Charley knew in an instant that it must be Harry and that the bear had gone into his tent and carried him off, and that the dog followed do all it could o sav 15 mastor, At fivst he thought that Harry must be dead, but he called to him and got a low moan for an answer. The bear also found out that it had another antagonist and for a moment stood still, as if making up her mind what to do. The dog saw that help was near and in- creased the fury of his attacks on tho bear, while the cub camo in close to its mother, Charley was watching his ehance to get in a shot with his riflo 5o as not to put Harry in danger, but it wus very difticult and he moved about from one place to another. At last the old boar dropped Harry on the ground, when the cub jumped on him to hold him down, and went for Charley, who fired alinost at random, as he was a little surprised at the sudden change in affairs. Buy the shot took effect, for the old bear fell to the ground a moment, but got up and came to the attack with great fury. Charlic looked over toward Harry aid saw that he was attempting to rise to his feot, but appeared too woeak to do so. The dog had attacked the cub and kept it from doing any harm. It was o large for the dog 1o kill, but ho could “pullits trousers,” as hunters say, and that i3 something a bear will not stund He soon got the cub quite a distanc from Harry, when Charlie looked over and saw thut he was safe. It was only a momentary glance, us he had all he could do with “the old bear, and knew that if she ever got hold of him it was all up with him, as she was in & terrible state of fury. \o had been lamed in some way by the first shot, and Harey was looking for a chance to puta bullet where it would do the most good, but he did not have much time to select a gpot, as the old bear was soon jumping for him, He also commenced 1o jump to keap out o her way, but managed to send sovers bullats into hor hody, all of which failed to reack any vital spot.

But his partner was in as great dangor as ever if the old hear tovk a notion to attack him.

The blow only stunned her for a moment, but he struck her sev- eral times and soon she lay quict, knew that she would be uncons us for several minutes, so he ran for rifle and then went to sce how 11 getting along, He found thing just as he loft them, and went for tho cub, which was still keeping the dog busy.
