PAKAPHRASE ON THE BEATI-
TFnES


lThe folio wing paraphrase ON the first part of
Christs sermon on the mount, was written by a
lady teacher of the First Baptist Church Sunday
school of Nashville, at the request Of the Rev. ID.
w. Gwin, pastor of the First Baptist Church OF
Montgomery, Ala, to be sung in his school this
morning, the Beatitudes be ing the lesson for to-
day in all the Sunday schools in the United
States using the uniform lessons and which en-
braces large majority of the Sunday schools in
the country. This hymn viii be sung also by the
Sunday schools of the First Baptist church-the
Central church and the Edgefeld church this
morning, and by the Ninth Ward mission school
this afternoon. The author of the verses knows
nothing of this publication, nor that the hyDn
viii be sung any where b1tin Montgomery. 1t
will doubtless become standard hymn in future
editions Of Sunday school singing books.l

Upon the breezy mountain,
An eager tbrODg around,
Sat Christ, the Living Fountain,
Whence healing streams abound,
With loving lips He taught them,
How blessed they might BE-;
And in His wisdom brought them
True happiness TO see.
II
How blest the poor in spirit,
They know their empty state,
And feel they justly merit
A sad and fearful fate,
But wealth beyond all measure,
God now for them prepares,
For Jesus is their treasure,
His kingdom, too, is theirs.
III
And they who mourn in sadness,
For every sinful thing,
How best are theyl For gladness
Gods comforting shall bring.
Blest are the meek whose spirit
Looks up TO God, resigned,
They shall the earth inherit,
And bliss eternal find.
"
They who for righteous living,
Do thirst and hunger Sore
Are blest; for Jesus, giving,
SbaIlfll them evermore.
Blest are the tender-hearted,
Who mercy show to all;
Mercy shall be impaired
70 them, whate'e befall.
o, blest the pure and lowly,
Washed white in Jesus blood,
They shall see God, the Holy,
When they have crossed the food;
And blest the sweet peace makers,
With sin and strife appalled,,
They of Gods love partakers,
His children shall be called.
VI
How grandly blest, forever,
Are they who bear all woe,
For Jesus sake, and never
From their allegiance goi
o, martyrs, joy fOrever
Heavens Kingdom is your own,
From you no power can sever
Gods blessing and Has throne.

The Waikiki Water Case.

The supplemental decree of the Supreme Court in
the famous Waikiki water case. which We published
last week, originated in the inability of the parties
to agree on the place of dividing the Kamaauwai
water. 1t seems that in 1867, Mr.. Bailey was sued
for damages for removing the gate through which
the water was taken, from a point called Pohakukapu,
near the highway, to a point close to his own house,
but the Circuit Court held that the change caused no
damage. The question of the place of withdrawing
the water was not argued before the Supreme Court
in the present Equity suit, but merely the volume Of
water which was to be allowed. On hearing the
counsel's arguments on the former point, the Court
concluded that the gates could not be returned to
Pohakukapu without destroying the water right Of
proprietors owning land below Mr.. Bailey's mill, but
that in continuing to use the water to run his mill,
the proportion to be used by him in ~irrigating his
lands above should be somewhat less, as the water
would Of necessity be lessened in volume in passing.

If THE PUBLISHED reports are even approximately
correct, Mr.. Ashbury, of catching celebrity, has &C
complished q very valuable and important result.
His boat, the Eothea, consumed seven tons and a
half of coal, daily, on her return from this country.
Laboring 70 reduce this, preliminary to a longer
voyage, he brought the consumption to three tons,
three hundred weight daily-42.29 to 1884 pounds
per mile, without sacrificing speed. Some changes
are being made in the machinery of the vessel to fur
Their augment this gain. He is prepared also to en-
ploy an electric light on s~hipboard to discover dan
gers ahead.
Both of these are important affairs, but the first Is
of the highest Importance, and has been sought in
every country where steam is used and in every COM
merce. The reduction in the amount of coal burned
fifty per cent. on a vessel would reduce her expenses
so materially that sailing vessels would be at once
consigned to the haven of old ganeys. This, joined
with the general introduction of the screw, and the
substitution of iron for wood in building, and with
the employment of every ship as its own lighthouse
wherever it goes, is radical and utter-a revolution
from the basis that reaches everything, and will give
commerce a great access. And if the consumption
can be so lessened in marine engines, of course sta
tionary and locomotive are open to similar gain. We
have seen no attempt to explain the method or prin-
ciples. The achievement was made in q run between
London and Swansea, that occupied t~hirty-one hours,
and will attract attention as fast as it is known, and
touches a sensitive point.-Phila. North american.

THE AUSTRALIAN STEAMERS Dame Rumor
with her thousand tongues there are not quite
so many in this little city-had il this week that
the Sydney line was fat accomDE. and that the first
steamer from sydney might be looked for within q
few days. We can ind no foundation for the ru-
NOR. \ gentleman who arrived from Europe by
the last steamer informs Us that Messrs. Vogel u
Russell were both in London on business connected
with the proposed service. but that it Is not likely
that 4 hasty conclusion would be- arrived at. But
there is every probability that in time there will
be two lines OF steamships between the Colonies
and san Francisco. one to New Zealand and one to
Sydney. -
points q man to an office that requires ne should
travel, it Is naturally to be supposed that govern
ment will provide him a road on which to travel. y
correspondent (who, by the way is not the person
most particularly interested) remarks As above in
reference to the trips certain officials are compelled
10 make, from time to time, between the Islands of
Maui and Molokai. There Is no regular vessel run
ming between those islands, and the Circuit Judge
has to trust himself and the records and archives of
his Court to the best conveyance ne can find at the
moment-probably a t~op-heavy raised whaleboat.
The result Of q capsize in mid-channel would Ger
tainly be uncomfortable to say the least, to himself
personally, but he has often thousands Of dollars
worth of valuable documents on the boat, the safety
of which should not be imperiled for the want Of q
good conveyance. The government should provide a
vessel for its own service, at stated times

THE NEW TEMPERANCE LAW in Massachusetts,, which
does not permit the sale of lage- and ales, does not
appear to work very well. The daily arrangements
in Boston, for instance, are larger than ever before.
The Traveller, however, has . theory favorable to
the law. Admitting it says, 60 that there are
more drunken men in Boston, this does not prove
the law failure in this state. Many men come to
Boston, where liquor is sold pretty freely, to obtain
the beverage they cannot find at home, and they
bring up at the police-station and help to swell the
records of drunkenness. and the men who have made
them drunk cite their condition as evidence that a
free traffic should be allowed them. The police, if
they are not in active sympathy with the liquor-sel-
lers, know that they are helping their cause. and
their talk in the Hobbies of the courthouse give no
evidence that they are ashamed of their work.
The Secretary Of the Interior has been officially
notified that the State OF Texas. which never coded
her public lands To the General Government, has
granted To- the Texas Pacific Railroad Company a
tract of land four hundred and fifty miles long by
fftv miles wide. in which no State land warrants
can be located and no settlers can claim a preemp-
ton. This magnificent State land grant of thirty
six thousand square miles will make the Texas
Pacific Corporation the richest company in the
world.

An upright life should be a sufficient answer to
SANDER. It needed not that Henry Ward Beecher
should put in any denial Of the gross charges OF the
'unsexed thing" Victoria Woodruff, even when
those charges were repeated by such men as Theo-
dore Tilton and Henry c. Bowen. To the discredit
Of human nature il is true, that there is in men n
prurient love for scandal, and the more conspicuous
the subject Of it, the keener for it seems to be the rel
ish. While disclaiming belief in the absurd story Of
Mr.. Beecher's vileness, men have clamored for IN
vestigation, fer proof of innocence before there was
any fair presumption Of guilt, or at least, for active
measures of defence by the accused. BY some, his
brave reticence has been called a very suspicious cir
cumstance, and his church has been invoked to probe
the scandal. 1t length, we are sorry 20 say, Mr..
Beecher has so far yielded to the clamor, as TO stamp
the charges, in general and detail, as unmitigated
lies. He has given n consideration TO the original
ISLANDERS, and the mean repeaters Of them, which
they did not deserve. No such denial was needed by
rejecting men with the baser sort it will have no
weight.
We hope this may be the end Of denial and Of in
vestipation. The rumOr that the officers Of Plymouth
Church propose to make a searching inquiry into the
matter is not true. They have taken no action IN
the premises nor should they as a matter OF self
respect and respect for their pastor, until charges at
fecting his character come from some respectable
source and with at least a show of probability. That
the state of society is growing worse and worse, as
evidenced by the increase of crimes, we have not De
lieved and we endeavor TO keep cur faith in human
progress, notwithstanding the apparently growing
taste for the vilest ISLANDERS.
