Nearly all ravines in Pal- estine are dry in summer, but torreuts in winter. The. t'edron, ur Kidron, is now a steep, narrow, pebble Lottumed valley, with cultivated strips of land and footpaths crossing IL at irregular intervals. Once in a while JL is filled by the winter rains, but it Is gener- ally dry, and the common belief is that a living stream news under -ground. Where, On the Mount of Olives, not hero named, but rising immediately from the outer edge of the Jlidron. A garden, An olive plantation, doubt- less, for its name, Gethsemane, given by Matthew and Mark, means Oil -press. There were many such "gardens" around Jerusalem, The site of Geth- semane is shown with all lite weft - deuce of early and unbroken tradition, Into which he emceed, and his uis- ciples. John makes no mention of our Lord's agony, which is strange ; but usually meatuses nothing except to add to the aocount of the other writers, and here he had nothing to add, 2. Judas also, tvh:eti beireyel h:nt, knew the place. A stalemen made to account for the traitor's visit, lie had not been with Jesus for several Hours, "Betrayed him" might be rendered " was betraying b me. the mason was a process still going on. Judas could not, have betrayed Jesus if he had not been intimate with him. The bitter- est enemies of our Lord were power- less without the help of one of his friends ; and the nearer we coma to our divine Master in church, in Sun- day school, and in daily life the more careful should we be to bring no re- proach upon him. The question of the Possibility of Judas's final salvation should be left to the Juge of all the e:trth, who will do right ; but exam- irtalivai into the details of the treason bring, us at every step to n blacker depth of iniquity and dishonor. Jesus oftentimes resorted thither with his disciples. Probably this refers to ear- lier visits on festive occasions. Many of lee crowds that cane to Jerusalem had to sleep in tate ripen air, and it. is nut unlikely Ilea Jesus and his dts- aiples, recognizing th_, owner of this garden ne a sympathizer, repeatedly turned its bowers tow places (if re- pose. Jade:. may have expected to find our Lord asleep, 3 Judas then, having received a bind of men and officers from tJra chief priests arid Pharisees. It is n horrible priests and Pharisees, It is a horrible question to ask our- selves, but a useful one. What was Judas doing while Jesus gave bis last address to the disciples? while they walked across the city to Gethsemane? while he agonized in the shadows, and Peter, James and Jelin drowsed in- stead of watching? The margin of the Revised Version substitutes "the co- hort" for "a band of men," A cohort was six hundred strong. Pilate was almost certainly responsible for tile. arrest of Jesus; without his power the priests would not have dared to ineke it, even if they had heen able. There seemed to be need of farce, for who knew when Galilean fanatics might try to rescue their favorite Rabbi?, The "officers" were the polios of the temple, under the orders of the San- hedrin. Most of ithe "chief: priests" were at this time related by intermar- riage, united closely in politics and in religions skepltrism, sneerers ssP spirit- ual lin. and the resuDrecl'hue end toadies to the Roman power. But we are to take the phrase its a whole— "the chief priests and the Pharisees" —and understand it to mean the San- hedrin. Lanterns and torches and weapons. The soldiers bore their usual arms. Lanterns and torches, not ordinarily needed on is moonlight night, were brought because of the possible necessity to search among the shadows of the olives. 4. Knowing ell things. Our Lord gave himself up to his enemies with free, deliberate will. Went forth. Out of the shadows of the garden into the moonlight ; away 11..m the shrinkings of his material nature into the calm dignity of Godhead in which he died. Whom seek ye? Not because he did ant know, but to give them an oppor- tunit:,, to declarer their purpose, and especially, it would seem, to conceal the dieter pies, 5. Jesus of Nazareth. More precisely, "Jostle the Nazarene." Ill the gloom they could not recognize hint, and in. no rase would they expect him to be the first to greet them. I am he., See John 0.20; 8. 24, 20, 58; 13 111. Judas stood with them. Revised Ver- sion, "was standing witlr them," The, trench'erous kegs is not mentioned by John. Jetties had probably come. for- ward to take his plaice among the apos- tles. and, if possible, conceal hie tree- eon. 6, They want hanktvarvl and fell ta the ground. In prophetio words the pselrnisl sang, "When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foss, Came upon me to ant up my flesh' they stumbled and fell," There is a distinnl implien- liot hero that a supernatural tel'l'er overpowered these men, " What shall he de," says Augustine, " earn ha cranes to judge wire did this when he war+ about tabs ,judged?" One import- ant feet is planed in (leer relief — aur' Lord's Surrender to dei tit Svcs voltintttry. Ile turned to Peter, and Bald, "Thiukest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and ho shall presently give inc more Lean twelve legions of angels?" His conduct bore is in strict accordance with those other memoraine words of his: "There- fore doth my father love me because I lay down my life, that 1 might take It again. No man taketle it front ate, but T lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it. <Iown, and 1 have power to take it again." 7. Then asked Tse them again. "Again therefore he asked them," From their terror the Lord himself arouses them to their military duty, 8. Let these go their way. The dis- elples, thoroughly identified for three years with his cause, were now likely to bo arrested, especially so when one of them drew his sword in dafottse et his Master. Our Lord's last effort be - tore surrender is to seoure tee liberty of those who loved him. "`J'be words," .says Farrar, "were a signal to the apostles that they could no longer render him any service, and that they might now consult their own safety." 0. See John 17.12. "No doubt, LIS the evangelist inat,ruots us by referring to those wards, it was our Lord's pitying o:ire for their weakness and fear which guided him in providing for their e cape, keeping their Tires in safety till their faith should be /tore firm, Bed they followed him to the judg- ment -hall, like Peter, they might have denied him, like Peter, see Luke 22.31, 82."—Churton. 10. A fuller account of the incident pointed to in this verse Is to be found in lbtatt. 26.51, 54. No evangelist but John mentions the names of the actors. Then should be "therefore" — fora - seeing the art est. Having a sword, Welch it was unlawful to have on Least days. It has been suggested by Dr. Westoott that the healing of the wound rtcordetl by Luke explains Peter's esospe from arrest. 11. The cup tiliielt my father hath given me. An illusion to the' Lord s prayer in the garden, which, however John does notrecord, as none of the other avahgelists record this saying. Peter halt drowsily half heard that Prayer a few minutes before. (See not only Matt 'ti, 'd0; Mark 14, 36; Luka 22,42; but also Ezak. 23, 31; Psa. 75, 8. 12. Then.

Some at least of the enemies of Jesus my have really deemed him a dangerous man, and his bonds a necessity. 13, Annus, (Luke 3. 2; Acis 4, 3,) This man is called Ananus by Josephus. Other variations of the name are IIanan and Ananias. He was one of the most powerful Jews of that time, and had been high priest, but, was removed by the Romans, and succeeded by three others, who each held the dignity for a year or less, when Joseph Caia- phas, his son-in-law, obtained it. With the advancement of Caiaphas, Annas regained much of the politieal author- ity of the office, Throe of his sons came in turn to the high priesthood. \Mien the evangelist says that they led him away to Annas first it implies thin he. was afterwards Jcd to Ceiaphas, as the story goes on to say. Caiaphas held the office of high priest from A.D. 18 1 o A.D. 36. 14, Now Cniaphes was he. See John 11, 40, HARD TINES AT COOPER RIVER.

Sixty prospectors arrived here on Monday from Copper River, Alaska, on the steamer Alaska. They brought with them a repetition of the stories of the ravages of scurvy and frost. A men named Young hobbled off the ves- sel on the stumps of two legs. Another man, .Alexander Powell, had but one foot. F. 0, Goodwin of Oakland, Cal., whose lags are bleak with scurvy, tend whose knees are bruised by contact with the ice, tells an interesting story of his experiences, whistle were similar to that of othere. While Damped in the inter- ior, his partner, 'Wesley Soheideaker, of Grange Ridge, Ill., tell sick with scurvy and soon became .unable to travel, Goodwin strapped him on a sled and started for the coast. After. fouls days be arrived at the mouth of the Chitna River, but his partner was frozen stark and stiff to th'e sled. Ha buried ham in the snow. Continuing his journey, he came across a tent In which there were' two men sick with scurvy.. They Were niece Hutton of Memphis, Tenn„ uud'1'. 13. Rawlings of Little Rock, Ark, Another man blippeued along at the stems time, and he and Goodwin put Rawlings and Huston on sleds and dragged them to the coast.

(taunt of the British oruiser Porpoise marched his brigade into Vailima unopposed, and was followed by a company of British bluejackets under Captain Slui'dee and. Lieut. Cave. inspection of the bat- tlefield shows that the defences erected by the rebels near the hone of the lute Robert Louis Stevenson were strong and well-plaued. The loss sus- tained by the rebels, it is evident, was much greater than was at first sup- posed. T11e retain section of Manaafa's followers who were engaged in the battle of Vailima retreated westward. to Luinmoenga, where they lay in wait for friendlies. Orders have been given therm to sapturt Lieut. Gaunt's head. The rebels ware also anxious to sp- ouse the superior weapons with which his brigade was armed. It is rumored that thirteen boats, filled with armed rebels, are approach- ing from the east. The town appears to he safe. CHANGES IN LONDON. Seven Mlles 01' I'edeagroarul Itnllway- Charing Cross Motion Improvements. A despatch from London says :—Lon- don has found the underground rail- way system so necessary that a new line of tunnels extending under the oity more than seven miles, is near- ing completion. For some years past at various points between the Bank of England and Shepherd's Bush large hoardings enclosing shafts have been eyesores to Londoners. The work is now in its final stage, and shortly pas- sengers will he shot through leatun- nels, at an average depth of 80feet below the surface, from the heart of tee city to the suburbs. Along the steno line of improvement is the new textual under ilio Thames, near the West Indian dooks, and also the Loot passenger tunnel under the river at Greenwich. Then the London County Council is actively engaged in work preliminary to the oonstruotion of a great thoroughfare from Holborn to the Strand, an artery between these two crowded centres wh'ieh has been a vital necessity for many years. Anoth- er project in connection tvilh im- provements at Charing Cross station will also make a great change in ex- isting surroundings. The sum of money it is estimated that these municipal improvements will cosi is about $30,000,000, while the un - underground railroad will cost at least as much more. The naw avenue sweeps away the Gaiety Theatre, but leaves the historic Lyceum at one side, :Goole's old theatre is among the buildings to be removed, and tela intended improve- ment at the upper end of the Strand will remove the Opera Comique and Globe Theatres, and the Charing Cross changes include the demolition of the Avenue Theatres.

Nothing short, of a series of most remarkable and well authenti- cated cures will incline either an editor or a doctor to seriously consider the merits honestly claimed for a medicine. Iiuntlreds of testimonials of won- derful recoveries wrought with the Great South American Nervine Tonic were received from mon and women all over the country betere physicians began to prescribe this great remedy in chronic eases of dyspepsia, in- digestion, nervous prostration, sick headache, and as a tonic for build- ing up cysteine sapped of vitality through protracted spalls of sick- ness. During his experience of nearly a quarter of a century as a newspaper publisher in Paris, Out„ Editor Col- well, of The Paris Review, has pub- lished hundreds of columns of paid medicine advertisements, and, no doubt, printed many a gracefully - worded puff for his patrons as a matter of business, but in only a single instance, and that one warrant- ed by his own peesonal experience, has he given a testimonial over his own genteeure.

The doctors did not help me, and I tried a number of meal - eines, but without relief. About this time I was advised to try the South American Nervine Tonto. Its effects were instantaneous. The first dose I took relieved me. I improved rapidly and grew stronger every day. Your Nervine Tonic cured me in a tringle week." The South American Nervine Tonto rebuilds the life forces by its diroot action on the nerves and the nerve centres, and it is this notable feature which distinguishes it from every other remedy in existence. The meet eminent medical authorities now concede that fully two-thirds of all the physical ailments of humanity arise . from exhaustion of the nerve forces. The South American Nervine Toni° acting direct upon the nerve centres and nerve tissues instantaneously supplies them with the true nourish- ment required, and that is why its invigorating effects upon the whole syetem are always felt immediately.

Masson, the well known commander of the Munson Line steam- ship Vimeira, and of his body being devoured by hungry sharks, was made known Thursday afternoon upon ar- rival of that ship at Philadelphia( from Cuba with a cargo of sugar. The Vimeira arrived from Cardenas and Matanzas in charge of Chief Offioor Ronald, who took command when the unfortunate Capt, Masson was lost. The vessel was en route from Phil- adelphia to Havana with coal, baying left here March 17. On the Mat she was passing close to the Bahama Is- lands, and Capt. Masson was on the starboard side of the bridge, with the teletoope glasses in his hands, luoking for buoy, from which be could judge the correct position of the ship, Mate Ronald was on the bridge mad in the amidship suction.
