Curious THEME FOR CoMMENTAToRs-TY-
BIOGRAPHICAL ERRoR.-Prof. Trench in his la
test work on the English language, points out
a curious error in the 24th verse of the Esd
chapter of st. Matthew. The words, (which
strain at a gnat and swallow a camel the
professor thinks, contains a misprint, which,
having been passed over in the edition of 1911,
has held its ground ever since. The transa-
tors intended to say, (which strain out gnat
and swallow camel, that being the correct
reading of the original, as appears in Tyndale's
and Cranmer's translatons, both of which have
strained out" 1t was the custom of the stric-
ter Jews to strain their wine, vinegar, and other
potables through linen or gauze, lest unawares
they should drink down some little unclean in
sect, as gnat, and thus transgress the Levitt
cal law. 1t was to this custom the Savior al
luded, intending to say that the Scribes and
Pharisees, while they strain out a'gnat from
their drink, would yet swallow a camel at a
gulp.

The MAPLE SUGAR CRoP of the year 1855
is estimated by the officials in Washington in
the agricultural bureau OF S., 600 600 The
large production of the past year may be re-
garded as an effort of the rural population 10
remedy deficiency in the supply of this nee
essary article. Cane grows only in the ex.
IRENE southern latitudes of the United States
The sugar maple, however, hourshes in the
greater part of the inhabited sections. and,
though the article produced by it is inferior to
the other, yet, as it requires but little care, it
is much cheaper. Were the proper attention
bestowed, forest of sugar naples might be
reared as well as plantation Of sugar cane,
But the cultivation of the sugar beet would be
more profitable. This is leading product in
France. The Mormons in Utah have gone in
to raising the sugar beet, and il would afford a
profitable business 10 our own farmers. With
such an immense breadth of country, running
through so much variety of climate, we ought
10 become a selfsusiaining nation.

Mr. Charles Brooks, of Boston, has been in
vesligaling the subject of imermarriage Of
blood relations, in its effects upon the offspring.
lie has found, by actual data, that children
from such alliances are frequently born and
grow up in partly abnormal state Of body and
mind. There seems to be an arrest of normal
development. They often lack that entire and
symmetrical equilibrium of the physical, intel
lectual and moral powers which constitute the
whole man. Mr. b. thinks that if the children
known to have been bonn from first cousins, be
counted up, and compared with the offspring oil
others who have not married near blood rela
lions, wide difference will be seen.

LATER FROM CALIFORNIA.

The Star Of NE West from San Juan del
Norie, arrived at New York on the eth, with
San Francisco dates to the 9th Of January
$l,276 ,92s in gold was shipped at SanFancisco
for Panama; and this steamer brought S0i3 ,4iG.
The San Francisco Chronicle says:
"The year just closed has been one Of the
most prosperous 10 the State at large that has
been experienced since this country became an
integral part Of the Union. In fact, it will be
generally admitted that, considering all interests
the material growth Of California las been
more hca,hful and vigorous in 1855 than any
preceding year. The mines, which arc still
our chief relience for national prosperity, have
yielded steady and beautiful returns TO judcious
and p6rseyering search, and consequently, the
miners, as a class, arc now enjoying a greater
degree of pecnniary Independence than any
other body Of laborers upen the face of the
globe.
Gold mining and farming, thus far the only
important productive interests of the State, hav-
ing thriven during the past year, it naturally
has followed that the trader and mechanic have
shared in the general prosperity by exercising

towns, and the country generally, have been
exempt from any heavy disaster from fire or
Hood such as has often dannted the enterpris-
ing pioneer in former years. Thus, all inter
esis nave advanced alike with steady tread.
The statement Of exports from San Francis
co IN 1853, shows besides, that at length we
have become exporters OF something besides
