TIE ADvAscy OF pRorsoTIor.

England is Disconnected ct the new
French tariff provisions, and the United
States have also to apprehend injury from
these changes. France is becoming ultra
Protectionist. and English manufacturers
and merchants are be.inning to inquire
whether it is possible for them to maintain
Free Trade in the absence of reciprocity.
1t is barely possible that in the course of
the next ten years Protection may have
reconquered all the countries it once lost
Ii this should be the case il is also possible
that the world will be nearer genu.
inc Free Trade than ever before.
For perhaps it is only by universal OK peri.
ence of the losses and injuries which result
from Protection that the folly of that
policy can be brought home to the world.
a country which practices Protection it
self, but which enjoys the advantages
of Free Trade with its neighbors, cannot
comprehend the perversity and stupid
ity OF its own coarse. 1t is only when its
own fiscal policy is reta,ia.ed upon it all
round that the evils Of that policy can be-
come plain to it. 1t is therefore not alto
gether to be lamented that France should
be resorting more than ever to Protection,
and that the Free Trade area should seem
to be diminishing instead of expanding.

BIBLE REVISION.

We published yesterday some columns
OF texts illustrating several Of the more
important changes which have been made
in the text of the Bible by the revisors. a
great many of these changes are of little
consequence as regards the sense of the
text, hut in some that sense is not merely
altered, but completely reversed, as. for in
stance, in two OF the verses cited by us
yesterday, from Judges and Kings. The
changes in the New Testament appear to
be more important than those in the Old,
as, for example, the substitution of the
word " hades" for "hell everywhere,
and the omission OF certain verses which
have been familiarity quoted for centuries
1t is not of course to be supposed that the
instances given by US yesterday at all fully

THE WATCH BOX.

Chicago is ahead of all cities in the
Union in one respect, and that is in the
employment of what are called '.watch
boxes" They have been in use but very
short time, yet they have so demonstrated
their utility thai people now wonder how
they ever got along without them. They
are made OF wood, either square or sexta.
gonal in shape, are about three fest in di.
ameter and seven feet high, and are pro.
vided with telephone locked in box
through slot in which runs a telegraph
alarm lever Each box is provided with a
door that is kept securely locked. The
square boxes are usually fastened to tele-
graph pole, while the sextagonal or newer
form take the place of lamp post at the
corner of street, the lamp being placed
on its apex. Every member Of the police
and fire departments is furnished with
keys to the doors of the watch boxes, and
also with keys to open the boxes contain,
ing the telephones. Any responsible citi-
zen who desires can procure key to the
doors of the watch boxes upon making APP
plication at the police headquarters Each
key is lettered and numbered, and regis
ter OF the names and residences OF the
parties to whom they are furnished is kept.
The boxes adjuncts are trim built wagons,
each drawn By two good horses. They are
stationed at convenient intervals through
out the city. Each wagon is manned by a
driver and two policemen. We will sup
pose citizen is passing along the street
late at night, when he encounters a gang of
drunken roughs who assault him. There
is no policeman within call to assist him,
SO the gang, after pushing and jostling him
about, go on their way. The citizen goes
to the next corner, takes out the key and
opens the door Of the watch box and pulls
down the lever of the telegraph alarm.
Each watch box has its number and loea
ton recorded, the same as are ire-alarm
boxes. In less than three minutes, and
often in minute, the wagon is at his side
with two policemen to assist him. The
citizen meanwhile has his key remaining
in the box, for, while it throws the lock
bolt back, the same motion securely fast
ems it in the box and he cannot take it out
until it is released by special key, which
is only carried by police and firemen. II
the citizen is badly injured, the wagon
takes him TO his home or the hospital,
while the police go in search of the ruffians
who have molested him. This is only one
of the numberless ways in which the box
can be made useful. 1t is also used by the
police to have drunken or obstreperous
prisoners taken to the station houses with
out causing the patrolmen to leave their
beats. In case OF riot or time of great
need a peculiar alarm is sounded on the
engine house bells, when every policeman
in the city goes to the nearest watch box
on his beat and receives instantaneous tele-
phonic orders telling him where to go and
what to do when he gets there.

represent the extent of the changes which
have been made. That can only be
realized through comparison between the
old and the new translations, but enough
has been published to make it apparent
that the new Bible will be in many respects
very different from the old one. How these
changes will operate upon the intelligence
of the Christian world remains to be seen,
but the rational presumption is that they
will exercise very destructive effect upon
the theory of plenary inspiration, to say
the least; and that the weakening of conf
dence in the accuracy of the text will lead
to other and more far-reaching results, can
scarcely be doubted The new version
Of the Bible is largely concession to the
spirit of inquiry and free criticism which
has been developing steadily during the
present century. It is an attempt to cor.
rect the errors of the old translation, and
to put the nearest possible approxima-
ton of the original text in the hands of
the people. But in doing this it was in
evitable that the conservatism which con-
stitutes so important pillar of every
religious creed should be rudely shaken,
and the effect of this shaking must be to
promote inquiry and to weaken faith.
With a very large proportion OF believers,
doubt is fatal, and when these see, or think
they see, that the book which they have
been taught to regard as inspired and as
infallible, has been given to them
full of errors, and that upon some
of these errors their most firm-rooted
beliefs have rested, the presumption
is that they will with difficulty be per-
suaded to repose q similar blind faith in
that book again. 1t is of course upon the
orthodox believers in the Bible as divine
revelation that this kind Of shock must
fall. The changes in the new translation
will have no special significance for those
who by study and examination have
reached the conclusion that the Bible is a
purely human compilation, liable to, and
Astounding in, human fallacies and errors.
The effect of the new revision upon Or
thodoxy, moreover, is likely to be pecu-
liarly exhibited in the efforts of the clergy
to account for and explain away the
changes which have been made. No
doubt it will be open to all the world to
reject the new version, but that will not
do away with the difficulty of having two
equally orthodox and yet radically differ
ent versions of the Scriptures. The pur-
pose of the revisors was no doubt friendly
to Christianity, but it is by no means GER
tain that the results will equal their pious
expectations.

MERGED, May 16th.-Walter Cole, a
farmer residing upon the Mason rancho, one
mile south of Smelling, was drowned about 10
o'clock yesterday morning, while fording the
MERGED river. The deceased, in company
with Ellis Francis, young man about his
own age, had gone across the river early in
the morning to Smelling, and ON returning,
VIXEN they reached the middle of the stream,
both on horseback, something occurred by
which both horses threw their riders.
On coming to the surface, Francis
saw Cole for moment only, when he disap.
peared and was seen no more, until his life
less body was discovered lodged upon bar
few hundred yards below The deceased
was native of the State of New York, aged
about &c years. His father resides some
where in New York his sister, Mrs Udell,
resides at Dixon. in this State, who is his
only relative on this coast. Deceased was a
member of the l. O. O. +. and of the 1. o.
G. I. The body was taken charge of by the
Smelling Lodge Of Odd Fellows and prepared
for interment.
The weather for the past few days has
been dry. hot and windy, materially injuring
the late-sown grain prospects. The barley
harvest will commence this week. Early
wheat is too far advanced to be materially
injured by the dry winds.

THE CHERRY MURDER.

1t appears that Lieutenant Cherry. of the
Fifth United States Cavalry, was not
killed by cowboys or robbers, but by one
of his own command. II we may Judge
from the account of this shocking affair,
the United States troops in that section of
the country are a particularly bad lot, for
Lieutenant Cherry seems to have been
killed by one of his own men while chasing
another OF them who had stolen four
horses and deserted. No reason for the
murder of the unfortunate officer has been
suggested, but it is evident that it was a
case of revenge for some real or fancied
wrong. 1t is not by any means the first
time that an officer has been shot by his
,<.wn men, either.
