has been at peace, that the number
of recruits levied yearly has been

has been abolished, and labor has
been emancipated from the dues
which formerly restricted its activity
and that the Empire has been pro
vided with a huge netwoak Of rail-
ways which enables corn 10 be rapid
ly transferred from fertile districts to
barren ones, it would seem that there
must be an increase in the general
prosperity. But Instead of this we
are assured by all who are well in
formed on the subjects that, with q
few individual exceptions, our peas
ants are, on the average, no better
off now than they were thirty or for
ty years ago. The great tmass of our
people live like a horde of savages
in smoky huts; young and old, Gov
cred with dirty sheepskins, sleep to-
gether with their domestic anim9 Is
on the same boards. There are
whole districts where bathing is un-
known, and a change of linen is re-
garded as luxury. Black bread,
mixed with all sorts of foreign in
gradients, cabbage soup, and milk,
are the regular food ofour peasantry.
As for the cattle, every one who has
travelled in the interior of the Empire
knows that they have enormously
diminished in numbers. We have,
as has been wittily said, mol e Coun-
selors of State than COVE. That the
physical condition Of the masses has
deteriorated, and the muscular pow
er of the average peasant is less than
it was, is shown at each levy of re-
cruits.
There was time when We used TO
boast of the gigantic strength and
robust healthiness of our peasantry
but no one has such illusions now.
Since there have been surgeons and
trained nurses in our villages, we
know that they are nests of disease.
How feaafuI is the mortality, and
how few of our peasants ever attain
advanced age!"

Bible ReVisiou.

We learn from recent publications
that the work of revising the Eng.
lish version of the Old and New
Testaments is going on we'll The
task has been poTtioned out among
the several eminent scholars engaged
on both sides ofthe Atlantic, accord.
ing to their special attainments, but
will be supervised by all. 1t is in
tended that the improvements sought
to be secured shall not impair the
idiom and beauty, or disturb the
sacred associations of the authorized
version. They are reduced to eight
heads-the text, errors, inaccuracies,
inconsistencies, archaisms, proper
names, accessories and arrangement.
The "errOrs" to be corrected are said
to be very numerous, some of them
misprints, such as "strain at (instead
of out) a gnat;" errors of grammar,
such as cherubims for cherubim or
cherubs, and most frequently, mis-
'trsnslations, such as "By (instead of
to) them of old time" "Baptizing
them in (instead of into) the name. +"
The other heads upon which these
learned committees are engaged
could only be illustrated by instan-
ces which would take up much more
space than we could spare. The
work of revision will probably re-
quire some years, although we have
seen no estimate as to that. Ofthe
results of DR.. SchafF says: "When
the whole shall be completed, it will
go to the English-speaking Churches
for their adoption or rejection. By
its own merits it will stand or fall.
We firmly believe that it will grad
ually take fireplace Of the authorized
version"

AT Richmond Switch, Connec-
tieut, on Saturday last, a
frightful railroad accident oc.
CURED, with the usual horror of fire
and slaughter. Twenty victims suf-
fered. There had been a freshet, the
bridge across the creek was carried
away, ana no one lived near enough
to know of it or tell the tale, and the
railroad company was too poor to
employ a watchman. The train
came along ''thirty minutes late" !"
and rushing forward with demon
speed reached the fatal break. The
locomotive and tender leaped over
and landed on the opposite side, and
the balance of the train except two
cars dropped one upon the other in
the mouth of the crater, for fire soon
enveloped the cars, and the poor
wretehes crushed and mutillated and
shrieking with agony, were suffoca-
ted and burned and charred by the
seething flames. '.No one to blame"
we suppose,and yet every little while
a fresh horror of this kind fills the
air with meanings, and hearts stand
still and shudder at the dangers to
which trevelers are exposed when
they ought to be assured of safety.
Can nothing be done to secure great
er safety? At every fresh causalty
the same question is asked, and peo-
pie grow indignant. But few days
and the hurry Of business and the
greed Of gain submerge every other
feeling or desire, and the horror is
forgotten. And so we presume it
will be with this, until another holo-
caust Of victims is offered up.

The case presented by the railroad
officers for their own side OF the
Postal car controversy in their evi-
dence before the Senate Committee,
now in session in New York, is by
no means q weak one. It's summed
up by the Tribune in these words:
It is clear that the whole system
needs revision. There is an inc
quality in the rates of compensation
maintained between the Government
and the different roads, and the en-
tire busiaers, SO far as the Post-oftiee
Department is concerned, is man
aged in an exceedingly slovenly
manner. Affairs have been allowed
to go on, without any systematic
overhaaling, these twenty years, dur
ing which time the business of the
postal has enormously increased in
volume. We shall, at least, get
something like order out of the pres
ent chaos when the real state of the
case is laid before Congress.
