A NEW TRANSLATION OF THE b.
BLE.-The grand preliminary Conven-
ton for taking steps for new transla-
ton of the Bible which has been in
course of preparation for years held its
first session in Paris recently and issta-
ted to be a great success. The leading
men Of the Catholic, Protestant and
Jewish Churches have united for the
first time in this great work, the object
being to combat infdelity, and especial
ly the writings of such men as Renan.
As the President said in his opening
address, the three great divisions of the
Church, if they could not agree on the
d0gmas which they drew from the BIZ
BILE, could at least agree on the philOlO-
gy and literature of that book, and
they could also agree on the necessity
of doing something to put stop to the
perversiOns it was undergoing by the
modern writers of the school of Re
nan. The first meeting was overrun
with men Of learning, and as there is
none or little opposition to the project,
great hopes are entertained that the
convention will be harmonious and
that important results will be arrived

AMALGAMATION As SEEN IN THE
DANCE HALLS OF BOsToN.-The local
of the Boston Post, in describing the
dance halls of that city, paints vivid
pictures of vice. Here is his account
of one he entered. There were many
Others like it, but we select this as
specimen:
Passing into the dance hall, we found
quite company present tripping the
light fantastic toe" to the music of a pi-
ano forte with violin accompaniment.
This hall is about sixty feet deep, and
isfitted up with considerable taste. The
walls are hung with pictures, real and
fancy, and to give a patriotic cast tothe
whole, names of all the Presidents and
the names of the principal battles in
which Massachusetts c0lored regiments
have served, are printed in gold, and
relieve the sameness of the dingy walls.
But the scene here presented by those
participating in the 'tsocial dance" is
not only it distinguishing. Young,
good looking white girls and negroes,
black as lamp black, mingle and COM
mingle in the dance, and embrace each
other with seeming tenderness 0fspirit.
The tall, athletic specimen of the gem
uine African with gross gustO and en-
thusiasm Whirls the young women in
the may dance, and at the signal TO
promenade for drinks, escorts her to
the bar and treats her to tumbler of
spruce beer and some peanuts. This
scene is revolving in the extreme to one
accustomed to respectable society, but
| it is practiced here, in this mixed COM
pany, nearly every night in the year.
| Familiarity knows no restraints. All
are in perfect illustration of the the
ory of negro equality at the expense of
white women's respect and virtue.

Two gentlemen walking together
were talking of the senses-seeing,
feeling and the like, One remarked
that his sense of hearing was remarka-
bic for its acuteness, while the other
was not wonderfully endowed in this
respect, but observed that MS vision
was wonderful. "Now, toillustrate,"
said he, 81 can see a fly on the spire of

sharply at the place indicated. "Ahw
