That Bad Place.

If the distinguished theologian,
DR.. Farrar, the new canon of West
minister, is not mistaken, the dis
cussion by our Wheeling divines as
to whether infants deserve hell or
not, may as we'll be dismissed. The
learned Doctor quotes passages from
the Bible which contain the word
"hell," elimination" and "everlast-
ing" and proceeds to make a pretty
clear case that they got into the
sacred volume unfairly and ought to
be oxpunged:
81 say unhesitatingly, I say with
the fullest right to speak, and with
the necessary knowledge, l say with
the calmest and most unainching
sense of responsibility, standing here
in the sight of God and our Savior,
and it may be of the angels and
spirits of the dead, that not one of
these words ought to stand any long.
or in our English Bible; and that,
being in our present acceptation of
them simply mistranslations, they
most unquestionably will not stand
in the revised version Of the Bible,
if the revisers have understood their
duty. The verb "to dam" in the
Greek Testament is neither more
nor less than the verb "to condemn"
The word 'alOnios, translated ever
lasting, in its first sense means age
long in its second sense something
above and beyond time The work
rendered hell is Tartarus, borrowed
as the name for the prison of evil
spirits. In five verses it is Hades,
the world beyond the grave;in twelve
places it is Gehcnua, the valley of
Hinnom, outside Jerusalem, which,
after being polluted by corrupt prac-
tices, was purified by fire-the meta
phor of purifying and correcting
punishment, which, as veal believe
does await the impcnitent sinner
both here and beyond the grave"

silver Dollars going Into Circulation.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20-During the past
month the Treasury Department has paid
out 100000 standard silver dollars and now
has orders for about 100000 more: This
amount has been put in circulation through
the agency Of national banks aud public de-
positaries, to whom it is sent free Of trans
portation. much larger amount would
have been disposed Of Ii the number OF such
institutions hundred and twenty-had
been larger or If the department could, under
the law, furnish coin free of transportation
directly to individuals.
Another drawback has been, that the banks
cannot obtain from the treasury an amount
larger than their securities. banker having
a security with the department of 100000
cannot, Of course, order from the treasury an
amount larger than that. A number OF them
having ordered silver to the amount OF their
security have requested the department to
let them have it in exchange for one and two
dollar greenbacks. This has been invariably
refused, as the treasury does not desire to de-
crease the number of small bills in circulation,
and does not regard that the placing OF

MEMPHIS, Aug. 2O.-The fever scourge is

South Memphis They were carried from the
infected districts, or caught the ma1ady from

Howard cases have died. Out Of their first
ninety-two cases forty three are dead. A few
are convalescent and some of the earliest ap-
peared on the streets to-day, looking thin and
yellow.
Over two hundred poor families have been
moved to the tents and camp four miles
south Of the city, and all well people are to
migrate as fast as they can be moved. Those

attending them, will alone remain. feature
of the sickness to-day was that Of two oolored

raised their quarantine, and invite the affiict-

had good effect on business. AS yet no
cases have been reported among those who
have gone from here.
The most narrowing accounts reach us from
the situation at Grenada. Our Howards,

completed it's work Of ruin last night. About
6 o'clock black clouds gathered and the low
rumble Of far-off thunder caused all to seek
shelter In q speedy manner Soon rain fell In

The rainfall was 1853 inches. The heaviest
loser Is j. G.. Hahel, whose three-story brick
tailoring establishment on Second street was
partially carried away, with the entire. con
tents of each story in that portion OF the
building. The exact loss has not yet been as as
certained The first and second stories OF Will
liams' drug store fell about the same time,g ,gthe
occupants barely escaping with their lives,
Innumerable buildings adjacent to the
creeks were aoated. The individual Losses
are many and heavy in the aggregate. The
steamer Favorte, many skiffs and cribs OF
timber were torn from their moorings and car
ried away with the current. The steamer bas
