Etvm0I0Ry Of Lady.


Col Benton maintains, with characteristic per-
tipacity his statement that the word lady" is no
where used in the Scriptures. This statement,
says the New York Post, so far as the original is
concerned, Is literally true, there being no word
in the original of the Scriptures that has any sig
ni6ca,i,n corresponding with that of the word
'lady," as at present received. The word LADY,
says the Christian Teacher, sis an abbreviation
Of the Saxon Laffday, which signifies Breadgiver.
The mistress of a manor, at time when aff1uent
families resided constantly at their country man-
eions was accustomed, once week or oftener, to
distribute among the poor a certain quantity of
bread She bestowed the boon with her own
hand and made the hearts of the needy glad, by
the soft words and the gentle amenities which
accompanied her benevolence. The widow and
the orphan rose up and called her blessed'-the
destitute and the afflicted recounted her praises
ALI classes of the poor embalmed her In their
affections a. the Laffday-the giver of bread and
dispenser of comfort-a sort Of miDistering angel
in world of sorrow"
There are many In our own community, in this
time of desttution, who are proving themselve
worthy of title, which has in modern times been
Unfortunately applied to the generous and sell
fish of the softer sex.

The Snow storm In DanviIlo.

Toe mail came through yesterday from Dam
vile. The Republican and Register of the 22nd
represent the snow storm as having been very
severe there. It began showing Saturday night,
the nth, and showed all day Sunday. On Monday
there were immense snow drifts in different parts
of the town. The Register declares 1t to have
been an ful storm, and from ais introduction of
. quotation from Latin poet, it would seem that
Its Editor regarded such an extraordinary tempest
as mark Of Divine displeasure The Republican
pronounces it the greatest snow which has fallen
in that part of the world for quarter of a cen
fury. 1.-THE roads" it says, "are wholly impassa-
BILE, and communication with the adjacent couu.
try is for the present we'll nigh suspended" .
Skating was good about Danvile. As an evi

The number of slaves in British India, q country
under the government Of Great Britain, is estima-
ted at from twelve to twenty millions. The num-
bsr it is ssid is kept up not only by propagation
but by parents selling their children. These
slaves are made very useful the discipline being

horrors of slavery. he means, of course, American
slavery, just as when he speaks of the sin of an
