Copy of the Original Decree as Issared by Pontius Pilate. A MIXTURE. A correspondent of Notes and Queries extracts from the Kolnische Zeitung what is called "a correct transciipt of the sent ence of death pronounced against Jesus Christ." The followiug is copy of the most memorable judicial sentence which has ever, been pronounced in the annals of the world namely, that of death against the Savi our, with the remarks that the Journal Le Droit has collected, the knowledge of which must be interestiug in the highest degtee to every Christian. Until now we are not aware that it has ever been made public in the German papers. The sentence is word for word as follors.

How do the high tariff men account for the fact that Ohio, noted for her wool pro duction, has given the Republicans a smaller plurality this year than she has done in any Presidential year since 1876, and that two of greatest wool growing dis tricts have elected Democratic arid Tariff Reform Congressmen ?

The report just published of tjlie last an nual meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Peabody Education Fund shows an expenditure for the year ending October 1 st, of $67,600. This makes a total of over $1,800,000 expended since the establish ment of this fund in 1S67. It has been in operation twenty years and has resulted in an incalculable amount of good to the cause of education in the Southern States, to which locality it is confined bv the wish of the giver. There are two lessons taught by the late convention that the people will be slow to learn until coming events force them to a knowledge. The first is that our govern ment passed from the political fabric built by the fathers to a financial concern in which private interest doninated public affairs. The socoud is that no public man, let his honesty and influence be what it mayt menace the money power of land and re main in public life. The annual war cloud is beginning to gather over Europe, and in a month the sky will be black with predictions of war in the spring. They will chiefly rest on the fact that Germany's alliear.ee weaker than were thought, while Russia proves better able to mass men on htr western frontier and to borrow money than was anticipated. Austrian support of the German alliance is cooling and Itilv is not ready for war, and both weaken Germany. Mr. Alfred Daniel, of Douglas county, farther of Mrs. J- C.
