The title of this work hardly gives an ade-
ouate idea OF the comprehensive aims which have
prompted its publication 1t Is by no means mere
dictionary Of the Bible. but book Of extensive refer
ence in various departments Of religious literature in
Guiding biography, history and geography. In prepar
ing the work. the editor has constantly kept in view its
adaptation to popular wants, avoiding the use Of
foreign words and phrases except in cases of absolute
necessity and then they put in English characters
peculiar feature which is perhaps not to be uncon-
dtionally commended. is the absence Of all refer
euce TO authorities, ana to any other sources OF
information In addition TO those in the text, eX-
cept TO passages of Scripture which may serve
to elucidate the subject in hand. one
OF the chief uses of condensed compilation OF this kind
is TO put the reader possession of facts by udcious
system OF reference, which is impossible to compress
within the limits a single work The simplicity Of eX
preston and freedom from speculation and theory,
which the editor has endeavOred TO preserve more
valuable qualities. The work is illustrated by numerous
engravings, many of which from the original sub
iects, and others rom photographs taken the spot

SHORrENTsG THE TUNNEL.

The New Yerk Herald has reporter
with TIE United Safes Exploring Expedi-
sten engaged in surveying a route for a
ship canal between the Atlantic and the
Pacific. Under date of March Is, he writes:
"The foregoing shows the amount of
work accomplished mp to date, and GER
tainly gives ample evidence that the expe-
diUon has not been ID e. With regard to
results, it may be said hat little can be
readily known until the work now in pro-
gress shall have beer completed. Every
thing, so far, seems to point towards the
valley Of the Nappi IS possessing all the
qualifications requisite for the canal. The
water supply, before adoubtful point 10 the
minds Of some, has been secured beyond
peradventure, and there is great reason TO
hope that some of the valleys soon to be
examined will afford the desired ogpor.uni-
ty for shortening, to some extent, the tun-
nel''
Ocean steamers and sailing ships will
not pass freely through a common tunnel
made in mountain; but only have The
hole large enough, and with plenty of
water, large Graf. can pass from sea to
ses, without breaking bulk.

high authority are known to be factss 1t is

'On tise 1Tth of January the President issued

latter, this to take effect March 4, 1873.
In March Mr. MeGil called the Presidents

Curtis is as follows:

My dear sit: As the circumstances under
which several important appointments
have recently been made seem to
me to show an abandonment both
of the spirit and letter Of The

MEMPHIS.
A Very Complicated Murder.
Was II Hired Assassination.

MEMPHIS, April 5.-About 10 o'clock last
night shooting affray occurred in Chelsea,
the northern portion of the city, which re-
suited in the death of John Newell at the
hands Of r. w. Coleman. his brother-in-
Law. Il seems that Newell, who was dis
sipated, mad written letter to his father
in-law E. T. Keel, wealthy merchant,
telling him that if he did not give him a
thousand dollars by noon yesterday he
would kill him, and last night Mr.. Keel
accompanied by his son, saw Colema IN and
found Newell opposite their house, when
the latter drew repeater aud shot him
number of times. Newell in his dying de-
clzration admitted threatening the life of
Keel, but said Coleman was hired to kill
him Coleman has not been arrested as
yet, but Keel offers to surrender him if
The authorities will accept $4,000 bond.

derer.
Robert w. Coleman who it is alleged shot
Newell in Chelesa last night, accompanied
by John Reed, aged 10, surrendered them
selves to Sheriff Doyle to-day and were
committed to jail. The latter states he
shot Newell with a double barreled shot
gun while Newell was advancing on him
with knife. They will be brought before
Judge Ray on Monday morning for exami-
nation.
Another Fatal Fracas.
Last Thursday two men employed at
Keon's nursery, four miles east of this, had
an alteration, which resulted in one of
them, Morris j. Bowers, shooting the 9th
e., James Patterson, causinI his death in
few hours. Patterson had been discharged
from the nursery and accused Bowers of
being the cause, and attacked him with
pruning knife. The Coroner's jury return
ed a verdict of jastifable homicide. Patter-
son was from p ailadelphia, and is well con-
nected, his uncle being the President of
one of the National Banks in that city.

ST. LOUIS.
A Former Indian Agent Arrested.
Peckefing the BOunties of Dead In
dians.

Pockefing the BOunties of Dead In.
dians.
Is ST. LOUIS, March 5.-Judge John A.
Wright, of Washington City, against whom
q number of indictments have been found
by the Grand Jury here for forging endorse
ments on drafts, arrived here yesterday,
and voluntarily appeared before Judge
Primm, of the Criminal Court, and was
bailed in the sum of $4,000. This is the
continuance OF an old case against Judge
Wright, commencing in Washington long
time ago, and grew out of charges made
against him of irregularities committed
when he was acting as agent for the Creek,
Choctaw, Cherokee and other Indians, who
served as soldiers during the late war. In
the collection of bOunties for those Indians,
he is accused of forging power of attorney
and endorsements on drafts, using the
names of dead Indians, for large sum of
money. Judge Wright emphatically denies
that there is any truth in the charges, de-
nounces the prosecution as malicious, and
says time will probably disclose the African
hidden in the treaty of 1866, and show why
