EARLY LANGUAGES.
A Louisville Professor CritiCising the
Languages of the Bible.

New York Herald
The Rev. DR.. Toy, lately professor
in a Baptist Theological Seminary in
Louisville, KY, yesterday entertained
the Baptist Ministers Conference with
certain criticisms on the languages of
the bible. The doctor is reported to
be one of the best Hebrew scholars in
the country, but, it is said, was lately
forced to resign his professorship and
his task Of preparing the Sunday
school lessons for the Sunday. school
Times because of an article which he
wrote on biblical inspiration that was
not deemed to be orthodox enough for
the readers Of that publication and Of
the Baptist churches generally. In his
address yesterday he brought out the
point subsequently emphasized by DR..
Samson, Of this city, that the first
development of civilization and litera-
ture was among the Hamitic peoples /;
that these having turned away from
GOd this development passed into the
hands Of the Scientific races, and that
these also having perfected their right
to it have given way to the Japhetic
nations in whose hands it now is. DR..
Toythrew very grave doubts on thetra-
dition handed down from earliest times
to the Jews about language being a
revelation from God to man. The
recent Accadian discoveries show that
the Hebrews derived their alphabet,
as well as many Of their thoughts.
from those people who were not of
the Scientific races at all. And DIR.
Ward, of the Independent who was in
troduced as n who spoke Hebrew
when he was only six years Of age,
remarked that the Accadians were
muchmore nearly likethe Chinese than
any other people now living, and
pointed out similarities in their letters.
Professor Meyrowitz, a converted +"
Jewish rabbi, gave the conference the
benefit of his Talmudic readings on
this point, and inclined to the belief
that language and the alphabet must
have been a revelation from God. But
the Hebrew was in every essential
respect the ancient Phenician tongue
which Abraham and his descendants
adoptedafter the patriarch had crossed
the Euphrates. An interesting dis
cussion also arose as to the language
in WHICH GOD revealed himself to
Moses. The Jew never sounds the
sacred name for the reason that the
original letters can not be pronounced.
But hope is entertained that modern
discovery will throw light on those
Interesting questions.

At the close Of one Of Josefy's re-

Missed down. This is a good move in
the right direction. Let the example
Of the musical audience at Chickering

nice, light wagon, to which a white
horse was attached, Into this carriage
the infant scrambled, gathered up the
reins in his tiny hands, and drove off
with the assurance and GOODNESS of a
veteran, Finding that the animal did
not proceed at q pace fast enough to
please him, he managed to draw the
whip from the socket, and laid on the
lash with ain energy that surprised

blood in him, aud away he went al a
three-minute gait, causing other teams
to give him a wide berth. The owner
caught sight Of his equipage, and
started in pursuit. He might as we'll

Other teams joined in the pursuit. at
the request of the anxious owner of
the stolen team, but the little rascal
managed to evade them all. At last.
when the horse began to show signs at
exhaustion, the child drove him into
stable on Pearl street, and vanished.
The boy was in high feather with
his success, and he next got into \
wagon which was drawn by a black
horse, and again the former experi.
ence was repeated. Leaving this wae.
