A MlRAcE.-A beautiful mirage was
visible on the lake Wenesday afternoon.
For the space Of nearly an hour maani6-
cent spectacle was presented to the behol-
der. The whole of the east shore, includ-
ing Michigan City and the coast northward,
for distance Of about 20 miles, was
distinctly visible to the naked eye-bluifs,
trees, houses and farming lands-with an
occassianal sail fitting along the shore.
The panorama increased and diminished
in brilliancy at intervals of few minutes,
and at last faded away, leaving nothing
but the vast expanse of Lake Michigan
visible to the spectator. The phenomenon
was rare ono, and was fully appreciated
by all who were fortunate enough TO
witness it, Chicago Times.

WooDcHUcks AND RABBITs.-"Father,"
said Eustace, ~ do not like to kill rabbits
as well as do woodchucks."
"Why, my son ~ asked the father.
"Because replied Eustacc, rabbits will
not fight back again. They lie right down
and die, and look so pitiful and beseeching,
and seem to say, 4 forgive you."
GLOW do you feel when you kill wood
chucks ?" asked the father.
'Oh, they get angry, and bite, and fight
back again. They look fierce and savage
and try to keep me from killing them.
That makee me angry, and then can kill
them. never feel bad for killing wood
chucks."
This tells the whole story. Children
are cut to the heart when they get angry
with others. a.d try to quarrel, and find
that they will not get angry nor fight
back again. Never try to fight back is
the way to conquer.

Infallibility

Infallibility
Writing on the 30th ult, the Roman
correspondent Of the Pail Mall Gazette,
says: "The day. before yesterday violent
scene took place in the council on the
delivery Of speech by Monsignor Verot,
bishop of Savannah, United States, the
roator of the American Episcopate. This
discourse, pronounced in voice audible
through the hall, vehemently assailed the
dogma Of infallibility, declaring that all
bishops who voted in its favor would be
guilty of sacrilege. The majority met
this imputation with protesting cries, and
the clamor became so furious that the
president !egate rang his bell, and called
on the speaker to retract the expression.
Supported by Monsignor Strossmeyer, the
bishop of Savannah refused, maintaining
that he was entitled to express his con.
scientious opinion. He said he was citizen
of country where every opinion was free,
and that, trained in freedom, he would
perserve his independence even in the
Ecumenical council. Monsignor Senestrey,
bishop Of Ratisbon, spoke with equal
force, but in more guarded language
against the dogma, affirming that be ex.
pressed the sentiments of the vast mai
ority Of German Catholics. The sitting
broke up in great agitation. Several
members Of the majority have availed
themselves of the new regulation
to. demand an immediate vote. As there
are yet 20 fathers inscribed to speak on
the question, the cardinal legate referred
for instruction to the pope and the holy
father decided that there should be no
interference with the debate. The bishops
of the minority are now acting in concert
with the ministers Of the Catholic powers.
Conferences have Teen held both at the
Australian and French embassies, and it
was finally arranged that the bishops sho'd
sign collective note to the pope protest
ing against the promulgation Of the dog
ma. But am pursuaded that all opposi-
ton will be useless.

Revising the Bible.

AsOvA0AuS VuC D1WACs
The arrangements made by the Com
mittee of the Convocation of Canterbury
for the revision of the authorized version
of the Scriptures seem to be exceedingly
wise. There are to be two companies /;
one for the revision of the Old Testament,
which is to begin work on the Pentatsuch;
and one for the revision of the New Test
ament, which is to begin work on the
three Synoptic Gospels. The Old Testa-
ment company, consisting of the Bishops
Of St. David's, Llandaff, Ely, Lincoln, and
Bath and Wells, with four scholars from
the Lower House, is to invite number of
scholars Of all opinions, churches and
sects-ranging from Dr.. Pusey to DR..
Davidson-to join it. The new Testa.
nent company, consisting of the Bishops
Of Winchester, Gloucester and Bristol,
and Salisbury, with the Deans of Canter-
bury and Westminster, and Canon Blakes-
Ily, invites similar accession to its mum.
bers from al theological schools-from
Roman Catholics (for DR.. Newman is in
vited) to Unitarians, who are represented
Py learned biblical scholar, the Rev. G.
Vance Smith. The object to be aimed at
to make no alteration that is not really
import, and even then to make it az
puch as possible in the style of our au-
horized version, and to make none on the
ntiquity Of any MS. reading for which
here is not decidedly preponderating eyi-
ence. The new Testament company is
lready at work-the Bishop of Glouces-
Fer and Bristol, who is the soul Of it, hav-
ng the work really at heart. Companies
constituted as is proposed, if they can
Pnly really agree, should command the
confidence Of almost all Eaglishmen for
heir alterations; 80 that We may at least
et rid Of all manifest errors by all schol-
re, without undermining the popular
everence for the Bible.-London Times.
