Why Did Angelo Put Horns OH
His Moses?
Sunday Afternoon.l

Sunday AfternOon.l
The answer is found in a wrong
translation, by Jerome, from the He
brew into the Latin Vulgate, which is
the accepted bible Of the Roman
Church. In our English version of
the bible, three times in the book Of
Exodus (chapter xxxiy, 20, 30, 35l it
is said that when Moses came down
from the mount, Ibis face shone;"
and the common impression probably
is that his face was all over radiant as
if rubbed with phosphorus on a dark
night. The Hebrew language, how
ever, like almost all Of yery early date,
is in many respects what may be
called an object language that is, its
terms are not so abstract, as taken
from and expressive Of visible forms.
All the Hebrew word here used is a
word expressive of shape, and signify
ing both a horn and pencil Of light
for as the horn of the oriental buffalo
and the pencil of light were both conf
cal in shape, the same word was used
for both. 1t is the same word that is
used in Habakkuk (chapter iii, 3 and4)
where it is said "God came from Te-
man, and the Holy One from Mount
Para; and His glory covered the
heavens, and the earth was full of His
praise; and His brightness was as the
light; and he had horns coming out Of
His hand where the version should
have been, His very hands radiated
light, or had rays-pencils of light
streaming forth from them"
Now jerome, in translating the pas
sage from the Hebrew of Exodus,
made the Latin Vulgate say Of Moses,
as he came down from the mount, that
his face, or head, was horned, or had
horns on it, when he should have
translated it, His very face, or head.
radiated with light sending forth its
beams to the view Of all Israel. In
each of the three verses in Exodus the
same word is used by Jerome in his
version. In the 18th verse he makes
it read, When Moses came doWr
from Mount Sinai he held the two ia
bles of the law, and knew not that hi
face was horned !" in the Both verse
T +" Aaron and the children Of Israel
looking on the face Of Moses, saw tina
it was horned, and in the 35th verse

BOnanza Mackay's Muniflcence.
Paris Cor. New York Times.l
An American traveller, who has just
returned to his adopted country after
a brief sojourn in bis native land, said
to me the other day: Letme tell you
about Maekay. Yonoknow all about
the famous California millionaire y
| said | did. We'll, he and Mr..
Florence, an American actor, were
travelling in Italy. One day they took
a long walk together. Rather, they
paused at a roadside inn TO eat and
drink. A poor wayfarer came along,
dragging behind him a sort of tinker's
barrow. He entered the inn. Mackay
invited him tojoin the thomely table,
The tinker did so with expressions of
gratitude, and ate q hearty meal. He
said he had dragged his barrow over
one hundred miles, work too hard
even for a horse. When Mackay and
Florence left the house, the Califor-
nisn, in his quiet way, slipped two or
three gold pieces into the poor Italians
hand. The man looked at the money.
He had probably never before pos
sessed so large a sum. Then he
looked at Mackay inquiringly The
Californian smiled and nodded, as
much as TO say it was all right, when
suddenly the poor toiler burst into
tears, fell on his knees, and kissed the
donors hands. His expression OF
gratitude, his fearful JOY, were SO
touching that Mackay turned aside to
hide his own feelings, and it is no
shame to their manhood to say that
there were more wet eyelids in that
wayside group than belonged to the
suddenly enriched Italian. My friend
mentioned several other instances
of Mr.. Mackay's generosity. You
know c. he said. " Well, he
came to Europe with a band
Of musicians, not only to make
money, but to show Europe what
America can do in the way Of music.
There was a touch of patriotism in the
business, as well as the instinct Of
speculation. The i~mpresario lost
money, and the loss represented tC
him a serious sum. Mackay heard Of
it and obtained particulars. Having
arrived at a fair estimate of the loss
he sent to c. a check for $4,000

Remarkable Coincidence.

BrOWnsNllle Slateh'I
Our worthy fellow-citizen, Mr.. John
Clinton, postmaster, hrs in his posses
sion a vest, transmitted to him through
his Scottish ancestors, which is known
to be two hundred and fifty years old.
1t is made of eamels hair, and pre-
sents quite an antiquated appearance.
Mr.. C%linton's ancestral history is full
of interest, but perhaps nothing con
nected with it is more interesting than
the fact that for seven successive gene
rations back the first child has always
been a male, and that child always
named John Clinton. Thus Mr.. Gin
tons father, grandfather, great-grand-
father, great-great-grandfather, and SO
on through seven generations of his
paternal ancestry, embracing a period
Of nearly three hundred years, have
all been eldest children, all males and
all named John. The link was never
broken until the birth of u Mr..
Clinton's eldest child, which, being
the eighth John Clinton. died in in
fancy. Mr.. Clinton named his second
son John, and thus the chain con-
tinues. Few such remarkable coinei-
dences have ever been placed on record
in genealogical history.

WADE HAMPTON.


The friends of Governor Wade
Hampton throughout the country will
learn with deep regret and sympathy
that the injuries he received some time
ago, by a fall from his horse while out
hunting, resulted yesterday in the
amputatiOn Of his Les below the knee.
1t is represented hat he is not in a
dangerous condition, and we hope he
may speedily recover. The country
can i'll afford to lose such a good and
useful man as Wade Hampton at
this time. AT his age the chances Of
recovery are fewer than Q young mans.
Yet he has a vigorous constitution and
an iron will, which is everything in a
crisis like this. 1t is a singular fact
that there are now four Southern gov
errors, including Marks, the governor
elect of Tennessee, who have suffered
the loss Of a leg. We sincerely hope
that Governor Hampton may lie
spared to continue a career which has
been so %signally brilliant and useful.
He is one of the great men of the
country, and has done more perhaps
than any other man to harmonic race
and sectional differences and to pre-
mote the welfare Of the South. His
course is unassailable and this has
only been attempted by the most reek.

a quiet ~peaceable revolution, brought

All the promises made to the eolered
people have been faithfully carried
out in letter and spirit. There was no
use for the yiOlents means attributed
by the enemies Of the Democratic
party. The results have been secured
BY fair dealing and will be permanently
retained by continuing the same
course. Hampton has proved himself
great in war, but greater in peace, and
