ExPurGatinS the Bible.

The last number of the Churchman an
nounces that the New Testament Revision
Committee have struck out as spurious the
last seven verses of the last chapter of St.
Mark. These are the verses on which
the peculiar people" found their creed,
and are as follows:
IA Afterward he appeared unto the eleven
as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with
their unbelief and hardness of heart, because
they believed not them which had seen Him
after He was risen.
10. And He said, Go We into all the world
and preach the Gospel to every creature.
Is. He that believes and is baptized shall
be saved but he that believeth shall not be
damned.
II. And these signs shall follow them that
beliexeth In My name shall they cast out
devils; they shall speak with new tongues.
49, They shall take up serpents; and If
they drink any deadly thing it shall not
hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick
and they shall recover.
10. So, then, after the Lord had spoken
unto them, He was received up into heaven
and sat on the right hand of God.
20. And they went forth and preached
everywhere, the Lord working with them, and
confirming the Word with signs following.
1t is also stated that the Committee struck
out. as being false Interpolation, a verse in
one of the epistles which is frequently quot
ed as a proof of the existence OF the Trinity.
The verse alluded to is supposed to be the
seventh verse of the fifth chapter of the first
epistle of ST. John, viz: For there are
three that bear record in Heaven-the
Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost, and
these three are one
This expurgation, by the Revision Com
mittee, brings to mind proposition OF the
late Noah Webster, thirty years ago: Mr.
Webster proposed to expurgate the Bible 6y
striking out all the "bad words in the Old
Testament. James Watson Webb, then a
distinguished New York Journalist, did not
take to the suggestion of DR.: Webster, and
earnestly besought him to abandon MS pur'
nose He said to him: "Flood the coun-
try with your spelling books, and confound
the world with your big dictionary, but fol
Heavens sake spare the Bible" 1t IS to D, DC
regretted that the Revision Committee olo
not take the hint. 1t is very certain that
that Committee viii never improve the good
book.

Washington Capitol ]
Theatrical people are yet laughing over a
joke practiced by John L. Smith, the agent
of the Vokes troupe, while here. The Vokes
were doing their best to rather poor houses,
for they were in Washington during the
opening of the Centennial and the town was
deserted. Smith, one of the most efficient
agents, if not the most efficient, was in a
high state of disgust. He does not succumb
readily, and in the midst of his distress,
Henry Ward Beecher appeared at the Ma
mined to utilize Henry Ward. To this end
he sent interruptions emissaries throughout
the hotels, club-houses, Hobbies, lunch-rooms
and elsewhere, to spread the intelligence that
on that night Henry Ward was to visit the
Vokes' entertainment at the theater Now,
it cost dollar to hear Henry lecture, but
for that sum one could enjoy the Vokes and
see the great Brooklyn Pope at one and the
same time. The result was a crowded house.
And the people were. disappointed? Not a
bit of it,
John L. invited John Chamberlain to the
theater. He gave the famous sporting char
acter box. Nay, this wicked man did
worse; he inveigled Chamberlain to his
room at the Arlington, and under sundry
pretenses got on him white choker. Sit
ting in conspicuous place in the box, John
Chamberlain would have been embarrassed
had he known how, at the way the entire
house turned and stared at him, for John
LIS wicked emissaries, busy rowing about in
an utter disregard of truth and grammar,
were saying ''that's him." ''that's him. y
This was pleasant enough till John was
vending his way out, when fel,oW stared
at him for some seconds, then said, in an
earnest way:
"Cuss me eff don't think him guilty
never saw wuss countenance in all my
life"
Whats that Teller making such remarks
aboutF' asked Chamberlain.
Because" responded John L. coolly, "he
thinks you are Henry Ward Beecher.
don't know how it is, but the impression is
general tonight that you are the reverend
friend of the family"
John Chamberlain says that when he gets
near John L. again, there win be a vacancy
in the tribe of Smith.

with blunders enough in its few words to
show that the writer had probably paid
more attention to hard work than to PEN
handles and school books, convinced Mr.
Pattee that he had bite So this truly
charitable and upright lottery dealer prompt
Iy answered, i'll substance as follows:
LARAMIE CITY, WYOMING.
SIR-Recognizing the fact that prize of
81 900 drawn in your neighborbood would
be of more advantage to US than $1,000 in
advertising, we make you this extraordinary
offer. Inclosed find twenty-one tickets, one
marked Y, and two agents tickets-both of
which are sure to win, etc.
Then he goes on to explain that we owe
him $l6-Sl0 of which we must remit at
once" and the balance he would take out of
the amount due us after the drawing He
guaranteed that Two tickets would certainly
draw prizes, and left us to infer that the Y
marked ticket would take in the 81 900.
Liberal fellow! Not to be outdonc in liber-
atty, we wrote him on one of our printed
letter heads, to deduct the $40 from the
amount drawn, and give the balance to-
wards founding an asylum for lunatics who
buy lottery tickets" and told him we would
give him free advertisement besides. As this
fellow refers to the Mayor of Laramie City,
we wrote to that officer and inclosed Pattes
letter. If they are not both in this swind
ling scheme, we will hear further news next
week
