WHAT 7 KNOW OFsPEN MAN
SHIP.

The following little joke on MIR Gree
ley, whether founded on fact or not,
is good enough to be true. A lecture
committee up III Illinois has been IN
pursuit of knowledge under great
dificulties-to wit ! the penmanship OF
Horace Greeley-wIth the following re
suit.
Dear Sir Il am overworked and grow
ing old shall be sixty next February Sd.
On the whole, it seems that | must decline
to lecture henceforth, except in this immed-
late vicinity, if do at all cannot
promise to visit Illinois on that Grand
certainly not now.
Yours, HORACE GREELEY.

And this is the way Mr.. Castle al
swered it:
Sandwich, Illinois, May 12-Eorace
Greeley, New York Tribune Dear Sir =
Your acceptance to lecture before our assoc
iation mex winter came to hand this NOR
ming. Your penm}nship not being the
plainest, it took some time to translate it, but
succeeded, and would ~ your time-3d OF
Februtry-and terms-':sixty dollars - are
entirely satisfactory. AS you suggest we
ma be able to get you other engagements
in this immediate vicinity; If so we will
advise you. Yours, respectfully,

HOW GOES THE BATTLE :?

For a week or more,the French have
been gradually falling back from their
position, and have suffered several Sc
we're defeats. 4 large french force
was concentrated at Metz, an impor-
tant point on the Moselle. The latest
dispatches state that great BATTLE was
fought at Metz, on Sunday the 18th,
both sides claiming the victory. it is
reported to have been resumed on
Monday morning and to have resulted
in complete Prussiaa triumph.
The Empress Eugene received the
following dispatch from Napoleon:
"LoNGUEvILLE, Aug. IA, 10 p m.
The army commenced to cross the
left bank of the Moselle this morning.
Our advance guard had no knowledge
of the presence of any force of the
enemy. When half of cur army had
crossed over, the Prussians suddenly
attacked IN great force. After night
of four hours they were repulsed with
great loss to them. NAPOLEON"
The King of Prussia kilograms to
the Queen, rs follows:
"Victorious A combat occurred
near Metz today, the troops of the lst
and 18th corps participating. | hasten
TO the scene of the conflict.
WILLIAM
These dispatches relate to the bat tie
of Sunday, and if the report proves
correct that the French were beaten
on Monday, the French will fall back
to the river Meuse, and most likely
maintaR that POSSESSION as long as pos
sible.

BIBLICAL iREvIsIoN.-It may be
affirmed With the greatest confidence
that many doctrines now commonly
held amoug Christians, generally, would
never have been believed with the
same unfinching confidence if there
had not been found in the Holy Bible,
as ordinarily read, texts which are now
known to be either spurious or to be
gross misrepresentation Of the origin
al. The famous Interpolation in L.
John:7 is a case in point, No falsif-
cation of a documentary record is es-
tablished by more overwhelming evil
dence. Yet the fraudulent scribe who
first adduced the testimony of the
Three Heavenly Witnesses knew per-
fectly we'll what he wanted to prove,
and that the words he inserted would
go far to prove it and it is quite i'm
possible that in uncrit;cal ages text so
distinctly and emphatically in point
should not have had the strongest in
fuence in forming and confirming the
general belief So also no reasonable
person will deny that the solemn words
from the 10th chapter of Job, which
are read in the English Burial Service,
Il know that my Reedeemer liveth,
and that he shall stand at the latter
day upon the earth and though after
my skin worms destroy this body, yet
in my flesh shall | see God" have had
much to do with the firm faith of
Christians in the actual resurrection of
of the individual body. Yet the best
critics hold this passage to be one of
the worst mistranslations in the whole
Bible, and that the words, strongly as
they effect US, are mere travesty of
the meaning of the original,-PaIl
Nal Gazette.
