The Book of Leviticus, to which we now come, has been called the "tiguru tive exhibition of the way of salvation." In Exodus we have been told of Israel's redemption and separation to be God's peculiar people. We are now to learn by n aeries of symbols how they were to approach God, and appreciate hia grace and favor. The study ought to prove interesting and profitable. It will help ua to understand much that will other wise be obscure in New Testament nl lusiona to offerings and sacrifices. No doubt the saying is true, that "one rea son why many have no better acquaint ance with Christ and his Apostles is be cause they are such strungers with Moses and Aaron." Respecting the origin of sacrifices we have no explicit revelation. It is not surprising, therefore, that on this point there is a variety of opinions. Home have supposed they originated in an express command of God, and others that they were first dictated by human impulse. But it is very certain that they had the divine sanction. Explicit directions were given concerning them; and they were unquestionably made types of that one great sscrifice in which Christ was at once victim and priest. Of the different kinds of sacrifices the most important were the burnt offering, the peace-ottering and the sin-offering and trespass-offering. These all had some things in common; all were gifts to God and answered the purpose of worship, and all. too, were meant to atone lor sin. This last point is well worth remembering. Whatever was true of other offerings, aa of tb>ur, oil and wine, into every sacrifice of animal life, every offering of blood, there en tered the idea of atonement. First and last, and always, at all times, and even in all duties. mm is a sinner. His most constant/ and primary need is of a "cov- M'jny/lor sin,"juit that which in Old Testament usuage meant by the word atonement. Con>e makes anything we bring to God, or do for hint, pleasing to him. 4. God lava no oppressive burdena upon u. IloaocepU the turtledove, ir that ia all we have to bring. But he ia not pleased with amnll gift* if we are able to giro tnore. 5. All theae transactions at the altara of sacrifice mean nothing if man ia not a sinner in God'a aight, and without hope, save aa somehow atonement i made for hia sin. 6. Nor did these sacrifices mean any thing if it ia not in God'a heart to save the ainner. This great and cheering truth ia doubly plain to us, since, in .leaua Christ hia own dear Son, God has himself provided for us a spotless lamb of priceless value, and by hia one offer ing on the cross haa made an atone ment adequate for ua all. 7. In the ancient sacrifice every man wiia to bring liia own ox. or lamb, or pigeon, and offer it for himself. Ihe sinner has now only to make the one perfect sacrifice of Christ his own by an act of appropriating faitb. Hut this he certainly mutt do. 8. Atonement for sin and self surren der to God went together in the burnt offering. So they must in our approach es to God. I'.y appropriating faith in the blood of Jesus, and self dedication of body, soul and spirit, we come into relations of peace and newness of life with him. Hut this is not an act done just once for all. The burnt offering was a morning and evening sacrifice. Daiiv we have need to plead the work of Christ, for the pardon of daily sins. And there ia no day when we do not have occasion to renew our self surren der to him. OI KSTIONS ANSIVEKKB.

They want some thing that will do all the steam engine does and many things besides. In the opiuion of most of the sci entists of Groat Britian electricity is to take the place of steam in driving machinery and moving cars, and it is to lie generated by the action of tides, winds and falling water. They pre dict that wind-power will lie utilized to a greater extent than any person* in a previous age ever believed it would. Wind will generate electricity for moving tnachiuerv. for lighting street*, and warming dwellings iu Ire land, Belgium, Ik-umark and other countries where there are few streams that aflbrd wrater-power. The move ment of the tides will produce the same effects in most eouutrics that have an extensive sea coast, while the fall of water in rivers and streams will generate electricity in ail mountain region*. The great electrical exhibition at Paris is doing much to draw attention to what is called the motor-power of the future. A picture called "The tjucen of the Nineteenth Century" hangs in many of the shop window*. It i* a female figure surrounded with a halo, and emitting rays of light from the hands, which are raised as if to enable the being to fly. The light gives the arms the appearance of wings. The artist is an enthusiast, and is regarded by many as a prophet. We all hope that his fair predictions may be realized. The steam engine is a good thing, hut we are ready for something better. Now that atten tion is drawn to electricity, great re sults may be expected. A MAItI! VI Mi AVII>OW. An Kric special the Cleveland lend er *ay that a genuine comedy in real life was played here yesterday. Mrs. Frances Kennedy is a buxom young widow twenty five years old. Her hus band died about a year ago from a fall. Six months ago William Cutu rning came courting her, ami his at tentions not Wing distasteful to the widow, she finally consented to marry him iu twelve months and a day frotn the date of her first husband's death. The happy day fell on Wednesday, ami the ceremony was to take place at the bride's house. A magnificent wed ding feast was prepared, and about sixty guests were invited to partake of it. The hour appointed for the mar riage was set for (J P. M. In the fore noon the bridegroom-elect arrayed himself in his best and went ofT to in vite a few friends in the country who had been forgotten. The afternoon mail brought a postal card from him, stating that he had conscientious scru ples anout marrying a woman so re cently widowed. He would make it a matter of prayer, and would abide the result of his feelings when through. She was not to take this as a positive declination to marry, but if he did not arrive at ft o'clock P. u., she might consider the marriage ofT. Mrs. Kennedy did not faint or go into hysterics, but she decked herself in her bridal robes, and smilingly re ceived the guests bidden to the feast. When the minister and all those with wedding garments had arrived, the lady called the meeting to order and read the recreant Cummings' card. Loud and prolonged were the de nunciations of the absent groom's con duct. "This need not prevent the feast," said Mrs. Kennedy, and the guests fell to banqueting immediately. After supper the room was cleared for danc ing, and Mr. Washington Williams, an elderlv bachelor, led the gcrman with the bride. He became so enam ored of ber that within an hour he proposed and was accepted. The min ister was recalled, and at 11 P. M., Mrs. Kennedy was made Mrs. Wash ington Williams. The marriage had scarcely been performed when the door bell was rung violently, and in stalked the conscientious Cummiugs, He had wrestled in prayer with the question, and had concluded to come back and marry. After being intro duced to Mrs. Williams it was gently intimated to the broken up Cummings that the lateness of the hour suggested the propriety of his going. Miss limner. A rtOIITINO IEM AI.E MAIL CAIIKIER—BEATS A MAM EON INSULTINO IIEE —ills NL'USEQI'ENT DEA7II. Nkw Yobk, Oct. I.— The truth con cerning the tragic death of George K. Met'leilan, an itinerant photographer from Syracuse, is as follows: Accord ing to the latent developments, lie had been at Port Washington, I>ong Island Hound, with a partner, driving around the country with a photograph wagon, doing a good husiuess. Both made their headquarter* at Hull's hotel. His partner collected and decamped last Tuesday a week with 81,000 la.- longing to the firm. McC'lellau be came despondent and took to drinking heavily. He left Port Washington at ] 1 o'clock last Saturday morning much intoxicated. That afternoon Miss Hu lls Bruner, aged 22, a strong woman, who curries the mail in a light wagon hetween Port Washington and Great Neck, while en route, met McG'lellan one mile south of Mauha**et. He would not let her pass, and crossed the road several times iu front of her, with his team, to prevent her getting ahead. Becoming impatient, Miss Bruner drove alongside, and McClellan man aged his team so as to force her vihielfl into a ditch at the farm of F. B. Davis. He then insulted her and a light ensued. Miss Bruner allighted and attacked liiin with a heavy whip, using the but of the same ou his head and face uufil he gave up the contest. She then went ou. When she reached Great Neck she gave an account of the occurrence to the post-office offi cials. saying she had never before seen McClellan, and that although he was drlink be knew perfectly well what he was about. The next morning, near the scene of the fight, McClellan'* wagon was found standing in the road he hanging over the da*h-t>oard, appa rently in a d runic en stupor. On nion day morning McClellan was found ly iusensible in the road beside his wagon, near Flushing, his face covered with cuts and bruises, and he was taken to the Flushing lock-up for a drunk, and remained unconscious until Wednes day, when he died. On Hundav afternoon McClellan was seen in Maha**ct, wheu he told the pot master there of the beating Miss Bruner gave him. A man known by the alias of "I'rct tr Pat," a rough customer of Great Seek, was seen with McClellan on Saturday afternoon subsequent to the whipping by Miss Bruner. Persons have also been found who say that McClellan bad the marks on his face when he left Port Washington. An inquest will he held at Flush ing on Monday. There is much ex citement, and it is uncertain whether or not the immediate cause of death was the heating given bv Miss Bruner. She is a very respectable, hard-work ing girl and is upheld by the com munity. A Water Filter. Serious sickness would often be averted from the household if, among other sanitary regulations, none but filtered water was drunk bv the mem bers. Water may look ami taste like the purest, and still contain disease germs that we would retreat from with horror if tbev but nrmentod themselves duly labelled. Wells, cis terns and springs that occupy ground lower than that of drains, vault*, cr barnyards withiu a hundred feet or more, should be regarded with suspi cion no matter how 'splendid' the wa ter may appear. A good and efficient filter may be made iu this way : Take a cask, re move one end and set it upright, the open end at the top. At one-third of the distauce from the Uittoin place a round partition pierced with small holes. On this arrange a later of clean small pebbles, ami over them a layer of charcoal and another of sand, topping it over with more pebbles. Over this put another partition with holes in it, or a layer of good sii'd stones to prevent the pebbles from being disturbed when the water is C>ured in. A faucet is placed in the >ttoro to draw off tie water. A pail of water and a lump of ice in the top of the cask ami closely covered, sup plica the perfection of drinking water for twenty-four hours. The Materials of Yanderbllt's New Heme. N.w Tart Latter la Trojr Itaa Vauderbilt has been criticised be cause he went to Europe with Herter to order all the glasswork, chamlo.iers, carpets, hangings, marble work and much of tbe furniture. Having made his money in America he ought to spend it here, it has been said. Tbe only art-work done in this countiy for the house are the bronae railings around the house and the bronse crest ing around the roof. Thia work was done in nine months by a Philadelphia firm for $42,000. It was offered to Mitchell dr Vance of New York, who declined it because it waa stipulated that it should be done in three months. Tbe chandeliers, including one of solid silver weighing half a ton, for tbe ball room or picture gallery, are now being made by Harhedienue of Pari*.

From careful estimate* it ia thought thut the three house* on that one plot of ground will have coat when ready for house warming about $4,500,000 —not one year's income of thin name Hilly Vandcrbilt, who twen ty-five yearn ago was hard pressed to pay taxes on hi* furtn, and, perhajis, wondered why a poor man like him had ten children to support. tien. Grant's Present* am! Ilia Family. Vt'jiii lb* Sw York Huti, Mrs.| U. H. Grant is busy in this city unpacking the numerous case* containing President Grant's preseut*. When Gen. Grunt gave up his house in I street, Washington, all the pres ent" he had received at that time were packed and stored. He has now eighty-two caws of valuables to be unpacked. Mrs. Grant recently said that she did not really know bow muck the family bad. The magnifi cent service of silver presented by Mexico to Gen. Grant, about the time be became President, and by biin transferred to bis wile, has been order ed from the vaults of the bank where it was deposited, and will be used tor the first time in what is termed "Grant's New York palace." The service of silver is said to IK- finer than that owned by G. W. Cliilds, A. M. Gen. Grant will have in bis new house a sideboard that will arouse the envy of all lovers of unique furniture. It is made of Mexicau onyx, and was presented to hi in by Mexico. It is the rarest and costliest buffet in New York.

The great Suiro tunnel, rut to re lieve the celebrated Cotastock mine* at Virginia Citjr, Nevada, of the vast I quantity of hot water which is en i countered in them, afford* an outlet to 12,000 tone every twenty-four hours, or about 3,000,000 gallons. Some of the water a- it find* iu way into the mines, ha* a temperature of 19.5 de grew, while four miles from the mouth of the tunnel the tem|>erature ranges 130 to 13.5 degrees. To obviate Die iuconveniencc which would arise from the vapor such a vast quantity of water would give off, the flow is con ducted through the entire tunnel, four miles, iu a tight flume made of pine. At the point of exit the water has lost but seven degrees of heat. Sixty feet below the mouth of the tunnel the hot water is utilized for turning machinery belonging to the company, from hence it is carried off by a tun nel 1.100 feet in length, which serves as a water-way. Leaving the waste way tunnel the water flows to the Car son river, a mile and a half distant. This hot water is being utilized for many purpose*. The boys have ar ranged several pools where they indulge in hot baths. The miner* and others use it for laundry purposes, and ar rangement* are being made whereby a thousand acres belonging to the company is to be irrigated. It is pro posed to conduct the hot water through iron pipes, beneath the surface of the soil near the roots of thousands of fruit trees which are to be planted, and in a similar manner give the necessary warmth to a number of hot houses to be used for the propagation of early fruits and vegetables. Weather Wisdom. When you wish to know what the weather is to bo, go out and select the smallest cloud you see. Keep your ere upon it, and if it decreases and disappears it shows a state of the air which is sure to be followed by dry weather; hut if it increases in site, take your great coat with you if you are going from home, for (ailing weather is not far off. The reason is this: When the air is becoming charg ed with electricity you wtll aee every cloud attracting all lesser ones to wards it, until it gathers into a show er ; and, on the contrary, when the fluid is passing off, or diffusing itself, then a large cloud will he seen break ing into pieces and dissolving.
