Australian Explorations.

Mr.. John Forrest has just published In
London his records of three journeys of
exploration in Central Australia, per-
formed respectively In 1869, 1870 and
1874. The Interior of this continent is a
desert land, consisting Of spinifex Usstuea
cliffs, granite rocks, few trees and rare
grassy plains, with an almost total alb
sence Of water. The first journey of Mr..
Forrest was made in quest of the remains
Of DIR. Leichardt, apreyIous explorer, who
lost his life in the vain endeavor to cross
the desert The expedition occupied lib
days and traveledover 1000 miles, OF
the region traversed at this time Mr.. For
rest says: with reference to the country
Travelled over, am of opinion that it is
worthless IS pastural or agricultural dis
trict."
The object of the second journey was
to reach Adelaide from Perth by way of
the south coast Between Israelite Bay
and Euclid Bay the party travelled 300
miles without discovering permanent
water in more than one place. For three
daps not . drop was found, and Mr.. For
rest wrote when finding enough to slaks
the thirst of beast and man: 81 havs
never seen horses in such state before,
and hope never TO do so again. The
horses, which four days ago were strong
and in good condition, now appeared only
skeletons. eyes sunk, nostrils dilnted, and
thoroughly exhausted" "On our route"
adds Mr.. Forrest, I'VE passed very many
millions of acres Of grassy country; but,
am sorry TO say, believe entirely desti-
tute Of water"
The third journey, accomplished in
1874, led through the immense watershed
Of Western Australia, and occupied sever
al months. In the report of it Mr.. For
rest s<ys: From the head Of the Muir
Gibson to the 10th meridian, the bound
ary of our colony, l do not think will
ever be settled OF course there are many
grassy patches; but they are so
isolated and of such extent that it would
never pay TO stock them. The general
character of this immense desert is a
gently undulating spinifex desert"
In all his expeditions Mr.. Forrest had
but one serious encounter with the ma
tives, and he brought his entire company
in safety 70 each journeys end.

ScHENcK's PULMoNIc SYRUP, SEA WEED Tonic
AND MANDRAKE PILLs.-These deservedly cec-
bratcd and popular medicines have effected a rev.
ulution in the healing art and proved the fallacy
Of several maxiins which have for many years OBJ
structed the progress OF medical science. The
false superstition that :" Consumption is incurable"
deferred physicians from attempting TO find reme-
dies for that disease, and patients afflicted with il
reconciled themselves to death without making an
effort to escape from a doom which they supposed
TO be unavoidable. 1t is now proved. however,
that Consumption can be cured. and that it has
been cured in very great number of cases (some
of them apparently desperate oeaes) by Schenck 8
Pulmonic Syrup alone; and in other cases by the
same medicine in connection with Schenck's Sea
Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one or BOTH ac-
cording to the requirements Of the case.
DIR. Schenck himself, who enjoyed uninterrupted
good health for more than forty years. was sup
posed. at time to be at the very gate of DEATH
his physicians having pronounced his case hope
less. and abandoned him TO his fate. He wac
cured by the aforesaid medicines, and. since his
recovery many thousands similarly affected have
used DR.. schencks preparations with the same re-
markable success
Full directions accompany EACH making 1t not
absolutely necessary to personally see DIR. Schenck
unless patients wish their lungs examined and
this purpose he il professionally ut his princ
pal office, corner Sixth and Arch Streets Philade-
phia, every Monday. where all letters for advice
must be addressed. ScheDcks medicines are

10 ne Editor Of The Chicago Tribune:
CHICAGO, April 7.-Ihese verses, 26 and 27 OF the
first chapter OF james read in the common Eng

These verses tas thus translated) do not give
tho correct meaning of the original Greek. Tho
word "eeem" in verso rs is from the Greek verb
"dokco.".. which signifies generally to think, to
suppose, to presume It should here be trans

from, the Greek adjective 'threakos, which Is
q VERY rare word. and this is the only place
where it is used in the New Testament. Ihere
is no English word which expresses it's full and
exact meaning It is derived from the Greek
verb ss ssthreskeuo," which signifies, 70 Introduce

observance of the outward forms Of the service
and worship Of God. The English word ''reliR-
lou " in said 7erses. .26 and II. comes from the
Grssk noun "th.eskeis." which is also derived
from the Greek verb "threskeuo," like tho I'd
iect,ye stthreskos" The noun !" religion does
not give the correct meaning OF the Greek noun
.threskeia" It (threskeia) il used in only two
other places in the New Testament, viz: Acts
XVI. S, where it s..translated in the common
version, .'rellgion, and in Col. ill., Is, where it
