You have brains enough not to mako a d d fool of younelf, and I want you to come out and dofond us for nnttcally in tho forum, and confound in fidelity. Yourt in tho Gospel, Thomas. Cairo, Octobor 21, 1873. Doe our correspondent for a moment tupposo we would go back on our reputa tion at the only roliglous journalist In Egypt? "We aro not that kind of a Cnriitinn. Out Thomas must eicuso ui. We do not cfere to ldck. horns with Den ton in public on the stage in a discussion of rellgfdui lubjocU. To speak devoutly ' and uso tbe Christian expression of our correspondent wo havo brains enough to not make such ad d fool of our self. That is Denton's hobby. It is not ours. Out if Denton feels liko having a square toed debate on tho railroad question, tho revenue law or tho salary grab, we aro bis man. Of course ho Is a salary grab apologist and monopolist and wo are anx ioui to have that kind of a man tramp on our oratorical coat tall. TtlUKMAN US OUlf." Senator Tnurman is tho coming man of the opposition. 11 o may be wedded to old-tiaie ideas hut ho is not ; bo may he willing to recognize accomplished facts but bo is not; he may boa reactionist but he is not; be may be all ho is said to be tbat it not commondablo and still he is undoubtedly tbo coming man. He it able and bo is lucky, and just at this time we need a combination of this kind to do feat corruption and bring tin.' country back to its moorings in tho harbor of the constitution, a llguro rather tho worse for wear, but liko "Old Dill Allen," con founded good although confounded ven erable. Thurmun bus enough hay teed In bis hair to mako blm acceptable to us grangers. At least that is our present opinion, lie it also au anti-monopolist an advocate of railroad control an honest man an ablo statesman a little cold blooded, but warm enough to have a patrl otic regard for tho rights of tho people conttmnerof thlovory.and so on. If such a man it not tatlifactory to us farmers, what kind of a man do wo desire? It it possible, tbat, being very fastidious, we with a politician with tho wings of an an gel ? Have wo becomo so dainty that our candidates must bavb about their gar menu tbe odor of absoluto political per fection rosiaiy: but It sc, we are doomed to disappointment. Tnurman is about at gool a man at can be found in side tbo opposition organization. AVe would like another better, but if wo must, we must. He Is liko tugar ; sugar is good enough in Its place, but out ol its place in whisky; but tbero havo bean occasions when we took sugar in our'n and didn't tlnd the combination anything to sneero at; and at for us, if wo must, why (Lord help ut'l we shall manage to take a little Thurman in "our'n," and we hope and expect to not be compelled to teul very bad about the necessity which wij compel ut to philosophically twallow Mm In truth, it it just possible we may ttnixk our Dpi after tbe draught and learn to liko' It becomo attached to it, in short "Who can tell? Those are tuch wondsr- ful timet. A SUGGESTION TO DENTON We wl.-b to make a tuggettion to l'rof. Denton. In hit lecturo on Jesus, ha main taint tne position tbat tbe "Savior" was taken from tbo cross alive, was resusci tated, appeared in tbe flesh to the disciples, and was taken with a fever at tbo resi dence of Joseph and died of tbat disease. The ttory don't bang together well. It it not a reasonable position that after Jesus bad been nailed through the feet to the crott, he walks! about the city of Jerusa lem. We do not'know what sited nails wore used or whether they wero of Iron, but we are ture the wounds in his feet would have mid a bis walking apparatus very tore. If, now, Denton would Inter polate into hit lecture tbit passage be would add much to itt force: "Looking from tbe window of Joseph's bouse it Is probable Jetus taw Wary go to tbo tomb tbe next morning, In all probability, influeacad by a desire to ipoak to her, Jesus took tho crutches Joseph had furnished him with tho gardnor't clothes, and hobblod out to soo bur. She was aomowhit astonished at his appearance, and naturally believed him a gbost on two sticks. Jctut told her to toll bis dis ciples tbat ho wanted to see them and would moet them at Nar.irelb. The dis ciples objocted; but finally an arrange ment was mado for a meeting in Jerusa lem on the night of tbo third day, when Jesua appoared in tbolr midst. After be had returned to his chamber in Jnioph't house his feet became sorer nnd sorer. Finally lockjaw set in and re sulted In his death. Joseph, afraid for his own soke, to tell thnl be had enter tained Jesus after ho had escaped death on the cross, buried the body secretly in hit garden." "Wo submit to a candid .world this passage as hotter than Denton's on the sstno subjoct. Lockjtw is a better disease than fever to use in dis posing of Jesus. Fover it is truo might havoensued from the ovcllement which no ioubt resulted from hanging on the cross, but the lockjaw idea lockjaw resulting from soro feot Is so probable a disease that its uso in Denton's lecture would be ono of tho happiest of hits. Tnis added to tho crutch idea would make Denton's account of the oicapo of Jesui from the cross so plausible, the story told by tbo Evangelists would bo knocked without ditllculty into a cocked hat and Christian ity would i'umoJiatety tapplo to its full. A NOI1LE SACHIF1CE. When tho cry of distress wont up from Memphis when it was flashed over the land that men, wocion and children In that peslilonco stricken city woro suffer ing and dying for want of nurses, Murtba Stephenson, of Towanda, Illinois, a girl not twenty yean of ago, in tho bloom of youth and health, was visiting friends in Illoomington. Her heart answered the appoal for help, and unknown to frionds or family who might havo wished to pre vent tbe slop, Silo wont to Memphis and otTored hersolf hi a nurso for yellow fever patients. Within two hours after ber arrival in that city, she had entered on hor duties and found herself, beside Dr. Blackburn, tho only other attendant of a yellow fevor patient, n woman alto in the pangs of maternity. Whon spokon to by Dr. Olackburn on tho subject of hor youth and Inoxperionce, the made tho noble response that sbo wished to nurse tho sick and tho dying, and desired to lay aside any natural feeling of modesty, which would interfcro to prevent her to dltchaigo of the duties of hor of fice. Bbo performed tho unaccustomed services required of her with tho modesty of. a young girl, and womanly patience and tenderness. Her patient died and tho willing feet of MartbaStephenson carried her to other scenes of distross whero with ready hands tho performed tho welcome offices of nurso for tho prostate, victims of thaplague. After two woekt of tireless tor vice, the was herself takon tick with yel low fover; the was carefully tended by Dr. Hlackburn, but bis skill as a physi cian and nurso was of no avail and the succumbod to tho diseaso aftor an illness of only a fow days And thus wiint out the light uf a noble life, veritably laid down for other's sakes. Tbe history of Martha Stephenson, young in yoart but ttrong in courage, poor in worldly possessions but rich in a character in which sympathy for suffering follow- croaturct overcame even tbo fonr of dis ease and death, deserves to bo told in tho category with that of Floronco Nighten gale anil other noblo women whoso deeds have made their name! immorul, and in comparison wttb wuoso record uort will not pale. Shu was buried tn Elm wood cemetery, end hor remains were followed to the grave by tbo mombors of tbe Howard association of .Memphis, by citizens, members of the prctt and others, all of whom, in the name of tho ulllictod people of .Memphis, honored themselves in thus honoring tho memory of ono who had beon truly ministering angel in thoir midst. In tbo boautiful and touching tribute to her mom ory by tho Hcv. Mr. Uoggs, pastor of the second Presbyterian church iu Mem- pblt who led tho funoral services, heeald: Lips liko mine cannot llttlntly tnoak the praises of such a life such a glorious doatb. May Divine l'owor use this ex ample of unselfish philanthropy to en grave upon our hearts tho sublime moral which tne messed son ot UOtl draws trom his own wondrots parable of the " Good Samaritan " Go, thou, and dolikowiso.'1 And hereafter, when our duties to tho living sutlorort thai) allow of it, let bur timploilory bo told toour hoyt and gills when we shall bo cold, and It may on forgotten boneuth tho grcon sod. Let the breathing marble and tbo sculptor' art do some justice, not to her merit, which man can never roward, but to ourselves and the gratitude of our oily. Tho Memphis 'Avalanche' adds its cn dorsemont to tho suggestion of Dr. Hoggs, and all who read tho history of Martha Stephonson will lay amen. THE GLORY ASOHIlSKI) TO TUE DKMOCRATIO PLATFORM.
