Bible Revision.

Concerning the revision Of the Bible
the Christian Union says "sThe work
is rapidly drawing to a close. We may
expect the issue at the end Of this year
or the beginning Of the next. The
New Testament will be published
by itself. The Old Testament can
not no properly, be issued before
If we should indulge in predictions we
should likely say that prejudiced minds
will object to many changes that will be
found, because some familiar phrases,
like He who now letteth will let, will
1--WE doubt noD be rubbed out, and some
thing better inserted. But thoughtful
persons, and those who desire the mean
ing Of the Greek original, cannot but be
pleased with a translation in which forty
one Greek scholars Of all Christian creeds
are agreed. We are not afraid that in
style any more than in translation these
forty-one men will go astray and shock
the Protestant world. These men know
what is good English, and what is dieni-
fed English. They love the old En-
glish Bible as much as Bishop Coke
does, and they will see that it is not
roughly treated. Our advice, then, is
to keep quiet till the revised version APP
pears, and then let us examine it, not In
the light Of our prejudices, but in the
light Of ascholarly common sense. All
attempts now to say what it is, or to as
sail it, are premature. Our own writing
is merely to show that we. have reasonCto
expect the best"

An Extraordinary Correspondence.

A correspondence with hair was once
attempted between a notorious Partisan
thief in durance vile and his oomrade
outside. A letter was sent to the pris-
oner from his sweetheart, containing
merely lock of hair wrapped in the leaf
of book. The jailor did not consider
the souvenir important enough to be de-
ivered, but in few days there came a
similar inclosure, and yet another.
This aroused suspicion, and the Cover.
nor took the matter in hand He exam
med the leaf of the book it was that of
a common novel, twenty-six lines on a
page. Then he studied the hair, and
noticed the small quantity of the gift.
Counting the hairs, he found them Of I'M
equal length, and twenty-six in number,
the same as the lines on the page.
Struck with the coincidence, he laid the
hairs along the lines of the page which
they respectively reached beginning at
the top>with the smallest hair. After
some trouble he found that the end of
each hair pointed to different letter,
and that these letters combined formed
slang sentence, which informed the
prisoner that his friends were on the
watch, and that the next time he left the
prison to be examined an attempt would
be made to release him. The Governor
laid his plans accordingly. The attempt
was made, but the rescuers fell into
their own trap. -.

Phil's Connndru,n.

A Scotchman, SO Sydney Smith falsely
said, requires q surgical operation to get
a joke through his head. A writer in q
contempo however, tells the story
Of q man who couldn't get conundrum
through his head:
There wassa time with the club when
conundrums and quaint play upon words
constituted the chief of the post
prandial enjoyment. We had all fur
nlshed conundrums except Phil; and we
told him. one evening, if he didn't have
good conundrum, fresh and new, for
us on the following day, we would sus-
pend him for neglecting to furnish his
quota Of entertainment.
That night Phil fingered behind after
the others had gone, and then applied to
our steward, Michael, to help him out
from his difficulty.
Mike, givesme 4 conundrum real
fresh one--thatsa good fellow. You
know I'll doa much for you, any time"

The Safe Robbery.

A Washington telegram of Sept. 81,
says the second auditor of the treasury has
written Secretary Sherman on the subject Of
the safe robbery. He says: In reply to your
oral inquiry Of this morning, I have the honor
to report that in December last it was dis
covered that $4,000 in money and bonds, in
Guiding interest," were missing from the safe
in this Office. Thorough investigation estab-
Gshed the fact that the funds had been ab-
stracted by Charles F. Herring, deputy audi
tor, who died Nov. 20, 1879. There is no evil
dence that a single dollar of the missing
funds belonged to deceased soldiers. On the
contrary, the bulk of it consisted of bonds ia
ken from soldiers at draft rendezvous in 1864
and 1866, as security against desertion. tits
also said that as neither the money nor the
bonds have been called for, the soldiers from
whom they were taken became bounty
jumpers. Il ..... -..... Pa 49,.

A Tale Of Cruelty,

A Chicago telegram of Sept. 80, has
the following:-Wm. Hnner, Of Chicago, was
taken to the county hospital this afternoon,
and in such condition that his recovery is
doubtful. He tells story of terrible outrage
and suffering. According to his narrative, he
went to the hot springs about year ago
and last June, being only partially recovered
he went to Memphis. BE was soon out of
money and was obliged to leave the hotel
and for nineteen days wandered through the
swamps about Memphis, occasionally get
ting little help from the negroes. Arrest
ed, he was put into the city prison and kept
for forty days. When he asked for water, the
attendants would sometimes play upon him
with the hose, and when he cried ont they
shackled him to the floor. A negro waiter
helped him to escape from the prison, and
while he was yet delirious he was taken to
the county poor house, FED on abominable
food, maltreated in every way, and his con-
dltion rendered worse than before After va
rious wanderings and suferings he again
brought up in the Memphis prison where his
prosecutions were renewed. Mrs. Quinn, Of
the Commercial hotel taking pity on him
finally secured his release, and through the
agency of friends here, he was brought back
to Chicago. OF his wanderings he tells a
straightforward story, and has an excellent
reputation among those who know him.

River Falls TRAGEDY.

4 The terrible tragedy in the Walton
family at River Falls, Wis.,, appears to have
been the double work of family difficulty and
insanity. Walton had had frequent quarrels
with his wife and had threatened both her and
the children. On Friday during his wife's
absence he appear to have partly executed
his diabolical plans, he beat the brains out
and killed his daughter Mary, aged sixteen,
and almost killed Emma aged ten. No trace
OF the lunatic murderer, can be found and tt
is generly believed that he committed suicide.
Milwaukee, Sept. 25-The Sentiaeps Riv-
er Falls special, says the coroner's jury in the
case ofthe murder Of Mary Walton returned
verdict that she came to her death by the
hands Of her father, Luke Walton. The MUIR
derer who is supposed to be insane, is still at
large, but vigilant search is being made for
him. The younger daughter SO brutally
beaten, will recover. y sol 50 tst5'

one of the robbers, which passed through his
coat sleeve, admonished him to keep quiet.
