! DESTRUCTION OF THE BIBLE.-One amsng
the gratifying signs of the times, is the zeal and
success with which Bible Societies enter upon
the distribution Of the Word In glancing over
some accounts in the Boston Recorder, of what
has been done during the past year by few Fo-
reign societies, we find that from the depot of
the British and Foreign Bible Society at Paris,
there have been issued during the year 49,, O97
copies of the bible, being more by 1855 than
were distributed during the preceding year. In
eleven years, from this depot 666,05l copies
have been circulated. At Geneva 2,072 Bibles,
and J, 456 Testaments have been distributed
The issues Of the year in Belgium amount to
is, 1856 copies of the Word. Ten thousand CO.
pies of the French Testament have been printed
at Brussels. The Netherlands Society has dis
tributed 1879 Bibles and Testaments. In Ger
many and Prussia the number of Bibles and
Testaments distributed this year is an increase
upon the issues of the preceding year of 1902
copies. Translations of the Word into various
different languages are constantly in progress,
and if the zeal OF those engaged in IT, work of
distribution fails not, it will be but W wears
before the Bible be read in all languages
that are spoken in the world

VISITS TO North BEND BY APPLICANTS
FOR OFFicE.-Wecopy the following from the
Cincinnati Republican. It will be seen that
the editor speaks advisedIy:
I'VE should suppose the good sense of the
friends OF GEN. HARRISON would suggest to
them the propriety of abstaining from visits 10
his residence to solicit office. We are persuad-
ed these visits must encroach.on the time which
belongs not to inviduals, but to the whole peo
pie. Hewill soon enter upon the duties of the
most arduous as it is the most dignifed office in
the world, and the nation expects that he shall
have such control of his own time as NAV per-
NIT him to think upon the measures calculated
to advance her interests.
eve speak advisedly when we assure all ap-
plicants for office, whether personally or by let.
ter, that their claims will be prejudiced rather
than advanced by such a course of conduct
We doubt not the President elect would espe
cially condemn the practice of any of the pre-
sent ofhce-holders presuming to solicit a con.
tnuanee OF their places by protesting to abuse
the present incumbent under whom thew now
hold office. We know that applications have
been made upon such grounds

RAIL Road BETWEEN LAKE Michigan AND
THE MISSISSIPPI, THROUGH WIsCoNsIN.-A peti-
ton to Congress has been circulated in Wiscou-
sin and Iowa, setting forth the great Importance
of rail road from Lake Michigan. through
Wisconsin Territory, to the Mississippi River,
and asking for the means necessary for its pro-
lection and immediate completion. Such a rail-
road would make perfect the great chain of cem-
municationnow nearly completed, uniting Maine
with the extreme countries OF the Upper Missis
sippi. The length of the road contemplated
would be about one hundred and fifty miles; and
the surface OF the ground upon which it would
be laid, is admirably calculated by nature
for such work, that 1t would require a mini
mum rate of expenditure for its construction
The memorialists, in setting forth the agvan-
tages OF such road, considered in national
point of view, say:
eThis Road would afford to the United States
a most efficient and economical check upon the
vast hordes of savage Indians, congregating to
so formidable an extent upon her exposed and
widely spread no thwestern frontier; and would
prove of paramount utility in the not impossible
event of foreign invasion: and these considera-
tons alone, aside from all others, would, we
conceive, be sufficient in themselves, to insure
to our memorial compliance with its prayer
''It would furnish the most desirable means of
transporting her mails for an almost boundless
extent of tie fairest portion of our happy land,
now rapidly filling up with enterprizing and in
telligent citizens; well as OF conveying her
troops, military stores, and munitions of war,
for the various permanent garrisons now exist
ing, and to be farther increased, in the Indian
country.
at woald constitute permanent link in the
great Oregon Railroad, which the indomitable
spirit of American enterprise will, at no distant
day, exhibit to an admiring world, connecting
our Atlantic with our Pacific sea board
'EBut, independent of all National, and pros
pective considerations, which so forcibly prove
the Importance Of constructing the Wisconsin
Railroad without any delay, the commercial bu-
siness, alone; OF the Upper Mississippi country,
would, beyond all question, afford sufficient
amount Of transportation to render it source of
immediate profit, soon as completed. Your
memorialists will, therefore, conclude. bv re-
spectfully expressing their firm conviction, that
further argument would be superhuous in socur-
ing the object of their present solicitude."
