A Popular Book.

Fow books, Mt the present time, are at.
tracing more attention or receiving high
cr concentrations from learned men, or
are meeting with larger sales, than the
Dictionary OF the Bible" edited by Wm.
Smith, l. l.. d., Classical Examiner oil tho
University of London.
There are, at least, three or four re-
prints Of this work, entire or abridged.
sold in this country, beside the imports Of
the different English editions.
-lnere is but Que expression-that Of
high praise, respecting the great value Of
this work compared with other Bible die.
tionsries. The necessity for such work
has long been felt by oil the Bible read
ers, us well as.by. critical Bible students.
The question faturally arises, which Of
these editions Is the best, aud which will
be most satisfactory TO the purchaser? We
suppose every one will require that work
OF this kind should be sufficiently com.
prehensive aud thorough to embrace full
aud satisfactory exposition Of the many
topics introduced. A small sbridgement
would be incomplete ia its exposition, aud
always dissslisiy the reader. 1t would DO
necessary, also, that the book should be
sold at price 50 reasonable AS TO be
available for ordinary Bible readers, aud,
at the same time, furnish the largest
possible amount Of reading matter for the
price.
There is one reprint of DR. Smiths IN.
abridged edition, published by q New
York house, in numbers. and costing.
complete, about S25. Its expensiveness
will probably limit it TO the Libraries Of a
few professional critics.
Another reprint, by Hartford firm, 10
from small abridgment, first issued in
England ia duodecimo form of about six
hundred pages The reprint is in larger
type than the original, occupies nearly
eight hundred octave pages, and is sold
for $3.50, being seventy five cents more
than the genuine London edition, import
ed by the National Publishing Co., of Gin
cinnati.
1t seems to us that work of this kind,
that is to be used for lifetime, and for
constant reference, should be a compre-
heusiye one, and that this small abridg-
ment, usually known as the jUreniie edition,
is altogether too condensed for popular
use.
The other reprint, also issued by the
National Publishing Co., Cincinnati, ap-
pears to combine comprehensireness and
cheapness, the requisites, that We consider
essential for such work. This edition
has over one thousand closely-printed
octave pages, over two hundred sngrav-
ings and maps and more than trice The
reading MATER u the smaH o6ridgment
AT the same time, it has all the matter of
the voluminous work, except numerous
dispositions and criticisms on original
Hebrew and Greek terms, which are Of no
practical value to the general English
student. 1t is sold, too at = very reason
able price, and is thus made available to
all who desire to possess it. We commend
this comprehensive edition to our readers,
and advise them to exercise proper eau
ton, lest they should be mi,led aud pur-
chase the juseniie edition.
If low priced dictionary is desired
for the use Of the smaller children of the
school or family, We would certainly re-
commend the imported London edition.

Gallant Rhode Island.

The annual State election in Rhode Is
land took place last week. and our dis
patches tell the story of the glorious vic-
tory which the Republicans there have
achieved for the encouragement of their

vaneement of the great principles on
which the party is founded.

impeachment.

On Wednesday Of last week the Senate
organized as Court Of Impeachment at q
low minutes after IL, aud the minutes Of
Tuesday were read up to the mention Of
The vote cast by Chief Justice Chase to
decide the ito vote, when Mr.. Sumner
made motion TO correct tho journal by
inserting the expression of the Senste's
opinion that said vote Of the Chief Jus

Tho motion was disagreed to-yeas, 81;

evidence Of Mr.. Bureigh was admitted
Other evidence was also introduced. tend.
ing to show that Gen. Thomas had entered
into conspiracy with the President to
make use OF force to secure the possession
Of the War Department.
On Thursday the Senate devoted the
entire day to the Impeachment Trial. The
time was occupied chiefly in taking Of
evidence, which went further to show
design on the Presidents part to obtain
possession Of the Washington garrison, and
also the Treasury Department. The special
dispatches say that the House Managers
are much pleased with the conduct Of the
Presidents counsel, they manifesting no
intention Of delaying the progress Of the
trial by unnecessary objections.
The Senate gave up the whole Of Friday
20 the inpeachmenttrial. Witnesses were
examined with reference to the speech Of
the President at Cleveland in September,
1866. All the testimony Of reporters aud
editors was clear and straightforward, to
the effect that the published reports OF the
Presidents remarks, including the dis
graceful attack on Congress, we're correct.
Testimony was also taken in regard to the
character of the speech addressed to the
Philadelphia Convention Committee, de-
livered in the East Room of the White
House.
On Saturday evidence was presented,
tending to prove the correctness Of the
newspaper reports of the St. Louis speech
Of the President. Evidence, oral and
documentary, was presented to show that
the President, in issuing commissions of
office, and by various official papers, had
recognized and contormed to the Tenure
of Office law. Mr.. Butler then gave notice
that the case on the part of the Managers
was substantially closed. Mr.. Curtis, of
the Presidents counsel, then asked for an
adjournment till Thursday, to enable the
counsel to prepare and arrange their evil

The Methodist Parsonage.

Some years ago called the attention
of the members of the Methodist Church
to the condition of the Parsonage in
Brookvile. l fattered myself that the
representations / then made of its miser-
able condition had some weight with the
members, for they built small addition,
re weatherboarded and painted it; but after
all, it is but an old, Stacking ra trap of
a concern, with but few conveniences, and
indeed scarcely habitable, wholly un-
worthy the respectable denomination to
which it belongs. l do not advocate un-
due pampering Of the clergy, neither do
they ask it; but do contend that now, if
not formerly, most Methodist clersymen
are gentlemen-me of learning aud in
telligence-and that they have an amount
of talent, which in other pursuits would
secure them decent house to live In, with
all its concomitants. learn from the
Scriptures that 1.-THE laborer is worthy of
his hire" If this be true-and | judge
no Methodist will dispute the authority

Of necessity includes good house--not

Of all our public improvements; has been

he did not honor; no labor has been too
