Professor Trench, in his work on the Eng
lish language, points out alpable typogragh-
ica1 error in the Esd cha pter of Mathew.
Mathew in speaking of publcans and sinners,
uses the current expression ''they strain at a
gnat and swallow camel" The professor
says, this error crept into the edition of 1911,
and has held its ground ever since:-"The
translator intended to say, who strain out
gnat and swallow. a camel that being the cor
rect reading of the original, as appears in Ty-
nasdale's and Grammer's transatlons, both of
which have strained out 1t was the Gus
tom of the stricter Jews to strain their wne
vinegar and other potables, through linen or
gauze, lest unawares they should drink down
some unclean insect as a gnat, and thus trans
gress the Levitical law. 1t was to this custom
the Savior alluded, intending to say that the
Scribes and Pharisees, while they strain out a
gnat from their drink would yet swallow a
camel.'' szr as#. 8

We perceive that another office holder has
mounted the stump, with the view of doing ev-
cry thing In bis power to retain possession of
the "loaves and fishes" The Baton Rouge
papers give notice that our old confrere. colonel
SIgur, of the land office, intends addressing the
people, at various places in behalf of the de-
mocratic nominees. The colonel used to be
modest and assuming, and we little expected
that when he succeeded in obtaining his seat
in the land office, he would neglect the duties
of that office for the purpose of travelling and
speechifying around the country, and to beseech
the people to allow himself and brother office
holders to retain their places for another term
The colonel was formerly proprietor of the
Delta and was one of the orginators of Lopez's
ill-fated expedition to Cuba; and in those days
professed great love fer liberty, independence
and patriotism; but now, it would appear he
thinks that patriotism and independence consist
in endeavoring to keep himself in office. and in
drawing salary from the State while he is
the stump for his party.

Twitting John Bull.

The My. Tribune thus closes an article
on tine subject of John Bull and his prodigeous
excitement. It treats the theme in precisely
the right style. Instead of the American
Press growing indignant and hurting epithets
at John Bull, as the Times signifed it would
do because of this feet, the Press should
laugh fright eout" at Bulls inflated selfsuf-
fciency and folly:
John Bull is entirely mistaken in suppos-
ing that we shall take umbrage at his sending
a feet to our coast. On the contrary, we shall
lie very glad to see it here. Our restaurants
theaters, gambling dens, grogshops, &c, will
take British money just as readily as any
other, provided its value is ascertained; and q
powerful British feetin our harbor would be a
gold mine for them. Our young women who
dance are rather partial to snowy uniforms;
we have food enough, and the current prices
are satisactory-to sellers. If Bull has heet'
that he can spare from. service in the Eastern
war, let him send them here by all means, and
we will warrant all hands to have a good time
But the notion that we shall be alarmed by
this juggle, and SO roll ourselves up in the
American flag and go to firing off horse-pistols
and Chinese crackers, in the Fourth-ofJuly
style of heroics, Bull can hardly cherish il
earnest, or he has been on visiting terms with
US for many years to very little purpose.

For the Journal.

Mr.. EDIToR:-It is no business of mine and
care not what is the custom, yet as may
be subjected to the same imposition upon my
good nature, permit me to suggest again what
you have on many occasions advocated, but
which seems to be forgotten by ladies and gen
tlemen attending parties. That is, going t.
parties early and retiring early. The cards OF
invitation to parties generally give the hour at
which the rooms are to be opened for the re-
ception of company, and every lady and gen.
tleman intending to be present, should be
prompt, and not go at 10 or Ii o'clock and ex-
pect to remain until one and two O'Clock; and
from the abuse that it implies, of the enter
tainment, it produces many inconvenience to
the gentlemen who accompany ladies, and
who are, of course, Subject to ORDER" and are
compelled to remain an hour or two longer
than they would otherwise do. And ladies
who go to parties without company may at
tribute the neglect to this fact Another
adorable trait in the lady's party etiquette is
signifying to her attendant her desire of going
home, and retiring to the ladies' dressing room,
TO remain aquarter OF half an hour and all the
while her company left in waiting in the hall;
or. as is natural enough he feels wearied and
has no further inclination to entertain or be en-
tertained, to enjoy the delights of solitary
and sleepy reflections, and all this is done
without any improperly. Ladies must some
times be INDUCED in their whims, and that
is one good one! Mertorious indeedi
sometimes go to parties, Mr.. Editor, and
if you permit me the use of small space in
the Journal shall report again.
