The Historical Chriot,
Our attention„loss boon culled ao coo toe
lowing _answer” to gueerinnn by "A y'reo•
thinker,' In a tenuiog daily paper or t)hf•
0agc, and preeumobly written by 000 parson
employed on the paper for purposes of title
nature. To "leraothiuker" the writer rennin:
" Nob a trap of authontia hinbory relotivo

the Goei3ele and Ep16b1eu, whereat the earli-
est oxlsting acpio dobe from the fourth °au.

seemly jest or barefaced forgery. The one of
whloh you speak was d.oubtlous written by
some ono as an effort of ingenuity, with lithe
thought tbab tie poor triok would deceive
any sensible por0on,"
it it nob necessary to infer that this was
written in any epirib of hostility to Chriotian-
ity. The purpose may hove been glumly to
ludicate how tittle oredit should bo given to
certain queatioiab'.o documents, aurvlaleg to

Tho orator, however, gives to hie "fre0tlunk-
i3i," interrogator a prop to his sknpbioism
whiah is really a broken rood, Not that
apart from cho Gaspelo lilto details of Christ's
death are given, but that the faob of lila
death with some of the airaumotaneee of it,
is made, by testimony wholly iulopendenb
of what the Gospels supply, as certain an
any other faob of hiebory. It is quite uafa
oienl in that connection to quote from the
Roman hiotorion Taollus :
"Nero," Bayo that water, "exposed to
persecution and tortured with the most ex•
gnf0ite penalties, a set of men detested for
their enormicieo, whom the oomnton peop10
called "Chcistiaao. ' Christus, the founder
of that sent, was exooutod in oho reign of.
Tiberius by Pontius Pilate, and the deadly
superstition, suppxessod for 13 AMA began to
burnt cub once more, not only thtoughonb
Judea, whore the evil had its root, but even
in the city [Rome], whither from every
quarter all things horrible or shameful are
urifted, and find chair votaries,'

quoted, and ie very familiar to students of
utturoh history ; although that it should be

strictest eenee, the following faabe : (1) That
some short time previous to tbab at which
Taoltns wrote to certain person had lived
wham the hietorian names Ohrlotua, the
0 0ti0 form for the Greek CI-idea/a, English,
Christ; (2) Teat this person was "elle found-
er of a sect" whom the historian describes in
a way to bo noticed presently; (3) That ho
was "cxeautedby Pontine Pllate"—the word
"executed," implying two things, namely,
that the parson °o spoken of was put to
death a0 a malefactor, and that the manner
of the death was by crucifixion, the common
Roman mode in such oases; (4) That bhie
tools plate under the reign of the emperor
Tiberius ; (5) 'Mot the mane of those events

110, and Pliny the younger, who .died A.

and by their way of vomiting of them testi.

and broke down tbe valley in a mud gallop,
carrying, of course, my saddle, with my holt
containing my pistols, whioh I had rather
foolishly removed from my waist, an hour or
two before, and hung from tho horn of my
saddle.
"There was nothing for le but to follow
the hor0o on foot, no off I 01ub in as bad a
humor as you mu imagine, for I 3008 Already
fatigued by my long ride, and a tramp of

trudged on for ren hour or two, until my fret
wore cub and blistered by the sharp retake,
and had pat down to rest near a (damn of
cotton wood trans, one of great six y and the

I heard a loud roar and n oraeh in a bush

a large bleak bull, charging straight at me.
I had only j000 tomo to throw myself to ono
aide flab cm the ground as he thundered by
me. My next move was to make for the
plump of cotton woods, whioh I succeeded in
reaching just as aha bull turned again. My
hob hod tall= to oho earth as I ran, and this
the animal now attacked with a ferocity sad
maddened rage that showed me how little
mercy would be shown the man when life turn

Having torn the hob to pioaee with horns
and hoots, and having smelled me out, he
commonaod a oiroui0 round the broee, stamp
ion, pawing, and bellowing frightfully.
With his bloodshot eyca and Zoog, sharp
horns ho looked like a demon. I was quite
unarmed, baying, by Dome unlucky ohanne,
neglected to pun in my knife in leaving
home and my pistols, as I said before, being
in my saddle, and I was marled unto death.
THE 010040MON WAS A DESPERATE ONE,

Oho bull round the trace until ho should be

Eightieth Birthday.
Mr. Gladotone'a eightieth blrthday, whioh
was celebrated last Sunday nob only in Groat
bribain but also throughout Ireland, fumed
him in such robust health and vigor that he
does nob feel the need of going bo Italy for
winter. 13e proposes to fans oheorfully the
cold and trying weather of hie native land,
and to be on hand when the House of Cam•
mous meet next February. It is dilfioult to
find a living parallel for each a wonderful
conservation of power, both physical and
mental, after fifty-seven years of parliament,
ary life. And he appearo both younger and
in bather health than three years ago. The
occasional euooeroosof oho Liber�lparty soeni
to have infused now life and animation into
him, and he frequently remarks that it is
only after he tae noosed= in obtaining
Homo Rule for Ireland that he avil1 ba ready
to intone hie Nano Dlmittia. Dae of the
most singular features about title "old parlia-
mentary hard," as he likes to describe him-
self, is that whereas in nearly all abhor maw
old age renders men more oonsorvablvo, Mr.
Gladstone, on the contrary, becomes oaoh
year more intensely radical.
