The " Madgeburger Zeitung" is anxious that advantage should be taken of the present "restoration" of the famous Sehloss-Kireho at Wittenberg, to settle the disputed question concerning Luther's grave. According to tho widely-received legend, which is illustrated by Teich's noble picture in the church, Duke Alva, at the capitulation at Wittenberg, in 1547, desecrated the tomb of the reformer. When the Emperor Charles V., after the capitulation, visited Luther's grave, Alva petitioned the monarch to allow him to have Luther's corpse dug up, burnod, and the ashes thrown into the Elbe, It was then that the Emperor made his memorable reply, " I do not wage war with the dead, but with the living." It is now questioned whether tho famous spoech has any historical veracity, for it in not recorded by either of the contemporaries who would have been mostlikely to record it had they known of it—Luther's test friend, Bergenhagen, or the conscientious chronicler, Menz. But the legend has. been further developed by the assertion that Alva, in spite of the Emperor's prohibition, ordered the corpse of tho detested heresiarch to be dug up, There is now an opportunity, such as will not occur again, to examine the grave, and settle for all time whether the body of Luther was infamously " translated." The, adjourned montldy meeting of the Masterton Library Committee will be held this evening, The Japanese people require a man to give six months' notice before publishing a magazine. This gives the people an opportunity to bolt their doors and load their guns against tho visit of the subscription solicitor, and then, as the average magazine only lasts about three months, it really saves the publisher three months' expenses, because the magazine died that long before it comes out. It is a trite and musty phovekb, but a sound one, that "good wine needs no bush so "excellence is its own reward.-".
