1 the haval appointment. Cape May County Winn-Ocean City Boys will be Named. Word was to -day received by Congressman Bacharach from the " Board I of Examiners who conducted the examination for the appointment to the Naval Academy giving the results of the examination of J. Lorin Goff of Ocean City as the - principal candidate; John Marts. Jr., of Ocean City, as the first alternate, and Horace Lelaad De Rivera, of Atlantic (Sty, as second alternate. this recommendation being based upon the order in which the young men finished the examination — first, sec ond and third, out of a class of sixteen. The report of the Board, submitted by its Secretary, J^ J. Unger, Esq., County Superintendent of Schools of Cumberland County, is as follows: "On behalf of the committee of countv superintendents, consisting of Aaron W. Hand, (ape May; J. J. Unger. Cumberland; Henry Sf. Cressman. Atlantic: and H. A. Stee-. Burlington, who conducted the examinations for the purpose of de- | termining one principal and two alternates for th<» appointment to the United ' States Naval Academy, purely on a basis of merit as recommended by vou, • I desire to submit the following report: Of the sixteen applicants who took the examination: Mr. John Marts. Jr.. also of Ocean City, took second rank. * and Mrs. Horace Leeland De Rivera of ' Atlantic City, stood third. ' The committee therefore recommend to you the appointment of Mr. J. Lorin ! Goff as principa!.-*Mr. John Marts. Jr.. ' as first alternate, and Mr. Horace Leland ' De Rivera aa second alternate. ' The time given to the examination c was a little over four hours. One hour ' was giv^n to a paper including spelling ' and grammar, one hour to a paper cov- ' eriqg history and geography, one hour v to a paper covering plane geometry. The examination was conducted in such a '' f manner that not any of the superinten- h r dents knew whose paper he was mark- " ing. There is no question in the mind c of any of the committee about the fair- c ness of the examination. Perhaps the j? only criticism that could be offered by d any one would be the lack of time, I lie questions, however, were so framed that " no long answers were required, in fact h it_ would frequently happen that ap- e plicants had finished their examinations a and passed in their papers before the n time limit. p The members of the committee desire *'■ to express their approval of this plan of selecting candidates for appiontinent, " and. personally will he glad to render '< such services in the future as may he. w necessary to carry out a similar plan. h' (Signed) J. J. UNGER, »' Secretary of Committee" nl Mr. Bacharach takes this opportunity to publicly extend his thanks to the *' County Superintendents for the time and attention given to the work of conducting the examination. The Second hi Congressional District is much indebted w to them for the very efficient and impartial manner in which thev carried m out the instructions of Congressman 8 Bacharach in helping him to -elect for T* his nominee- three voung men who are mentally qualified for the honor.

candidate-- were today sent to the Secretary of the Navy by Mr. Bacharac i. and letters notifying the candidates m j tlie same were sent to him.

This was fuond in an ancient manuscript, which was sent by Puhlius Lentulus, President of Judea, to the Senate of Rome. There lives at this time, in Judea, a man of singular character whose nam« is Jesus Christ. The barbarians esteem him a prophet, but his followers adore him as the intermediate offspring of the immortal God. He is endowed with such unparalleled virtue as to call back the dead from their graves, and to heal every kind " of disease with a word of a touch. "His form is tall and elegantly shaped, aspect amiable and reverend; his flow- in beautiful shapes, which ae united color can match, falling into graceful curls below his ears, agreeably couching on his shoulders, and parting the crown of his head, like the headof the sect of the Nazarites. His forehead is smooth, and his chocks without a spot, save that lovely red; his nose and mouth are formed with exquisite symmetry: his beard is thick, and suitable to the hair of his head, reaching a little below his ehhi. and parted in the middle like a fork; hi* are bright, clear and serene. "He rebukes with majesty, counsels with mildness and invites with the moot tender and persuasive language. Hht whole address, whether word or deed, elegant, brave, and stictly characteristic of so exalted a being. No man has ever seen him laugh, but the whole world has frequently beheld him and so persuasive are his tears that the multitude cannot withhold their from joining in sympathy witfc He Is very modest, temperate and "In short, -whatever this phenomenon be ip the end. "hit seems at present a man of excellent beauty and divine perfections, every way .surpassing children of men."
