terday by the Christian Commission, operating with

same which governed the Soup Association while

An Aero and q Half.

The Uiestern Rural has a notice OF
the produce OF one and q half acres of
land last year. 1t was owned by
Edward Wheeler of Kalamazoo.
The soil is composed largely of
muck, well decomposed, mixed with
white and yellow sand. BY deep and
thorough cultivation, tho liberal ap-
plieation Of bone and yard manure,
and leached, and unleached ashes, and
by regular irrigation, he has obtained
returns from this small amount of
land greater than are frequently OBJ
tanned from an ordinary farm. The
articles sold and sums obtained during
1864 wore as follows:
"Cabbages, s51 AZ boots, S88 AZ;
sweet-corn, 500 "a peppers, IS IS ;
tomatoes, 1922 10; China beans,
81 SO; pic-plont, 81 90; parsnips,

flowers, 50 80; gooseberries (nearly
all destroyed by the birds,) 81 ID ;
satisfy, 50; garden seeds of various
kinds, $40; tobacco, 500; making
total Of 81, 43l 16."
Such practical demonstrations of
the profit of small farms and thorough
cultivation are most valuable lessons
TO many of our farmers who CLEAN
scanty subsistence by skimming over
scores Of acres.

PRoGREss IN THE EAsT.-Light is
breaking in the Orient. Tho restless
spirit Of progress thrills through the
withered members of the nations Of
the East A railway runs within half
n dozen miles of the Pyramid Of
Cheops; steamer puffs its smoke in
the face Of the Vocal Memnon pass
engers are booked through by Express
train from Cairo to Suez; the iron
horse thunders along toward the Val
ley Of the Euphrates; stately steamers
make regular trips on the Red Sea;
while telegraphic communication has
been established between Badgad and
Bombay
Nor is this all. A railway is pro-
iected from Jaffa to Jerusalem an
other from Cairo to the Cataracts;
while Macadamized road is to be
built between Beirut and Damascus.
But most amazing Of all, tho Suez
Ship Canal is virtually an accomplish
cd fact. The work on this stupendous
enterprise has so far progressed that
the waters Of the Red Sea and Med
iterranoan are already united, and
passenger boat has been for some time
running between Port Said on the
western and Suez on tho eastern side
of the Isthmus. The present depth
of water is not above four to five feet,
but the work Of deepening the channel
is being vigorously pushed, and it is
confidently expected that the canal
will be ready for eifecting transporta-
ton in April of the present year, when
six steam tugs arc to commence SER
vice upon it.
This great work is the offspring of
the enterprise of French company.
1t has encountered violent opposition
from the English, who saw in its sue
cess dangerous rivalry on the part
of France in the far East. Many Of
the best engineers of the day looked
upon the project with mistrust, while
the illustrious STEVENSON unhesitating-
ly pronounced it not feasible. But
NJ. De. LEssLPs, its protector and di-
rector, kept constant to his great pur-
pose, overcame every obstacle and
comes out triumphantly.-Albanyl

REVISING THE BIBLE.--A few OF the
Oldest inhabitants remember when the
American Bible Union was organized,
for tho purpose Of getting up a new
version OF the Holy Scriptures, which
should have the word Jdptize so render
ed as to please everybody Of the Bap-
fist persuasion. The job appears to
have been herculean ono, thus far.
The enormous amount of money spent
on the work is one Of the circumstan-
cos Toast notable. Eminent doctors of
divinity and distinguished linguists
have boon diligently employed In
Europe as well as the United States ];
hear comparatively little, were il not
for the occasional scrimmages taking
place among the theological fraternity
thus engaged. The latest demonstra-
ton comes from Herman Heinfetter,
who addresses his dear fellow-labor-
ors , from London, representing that
he ID in painful position because
the new versionists refuse to correct
the old translation in those portions
which relate to the time of creation,
and which, according to his views, do
not allow time for tho formation of
geological antiquities like beds Of coal
or rocks containing fossil remains
lie also denies the universally of the
Noachian deluge, and wants the trans
lation varied accordingly. These dis
agreements are Of little consequence
Of themselves, but must be regarded
as significant by those who revere the
inspired word, and respect the version
which has been handed down through
many generations. Quite a number
ofthose who originally embarked in
the Bible Union enterprise have been
removed from earthly scenes. In
some aspects of tho case, tho revision
movement seems as difficult as was
the building of the Tower of Babel,
and for much tho same reasons. 1t
was moro than dangerous expert
ment, and its success is simply impos-
siblo. The English language changes
too rapidly to satisfy the theories of
new vorsionists. Better adhere to the
old version, if for no other reason, to
have at least one standard of what
the language once was. A version of
1865 or 1870 would be worthless in
1895 or 1900.-JownaI Of Commerce.
