the differences are as irreeoneilable As ever.
In the former State efforts at unieu have
been fruitless for the past SIX mooihs. Tam
many viii consent to 90 arrangement that
will not give i. controlling influences. 10
Virginia the debi-quession is the dividing
issue. There will be no uaion between
the Democratic debt-payers and The repa-

can governor aud staia lieket this fall viii

people Of Virginia seem TO have forgotten

the election Of Radical State officers this
fall may assis. their memories when too
late.

Fraudulent Pension Claims.

There is a pension war of considerable big
ness raging at Washington against Commits
sioner Bently, because he is using his best en-
deavors to prevent the government being
robbed of several millions year by bogus
pensioners. Arrayed against him we find the
army observation-disclosures the claim agents,
who see millions in it. the friends of both
these belligerents; while these combatauts are
supported by divers Congressman, who be-
lieve, or pretended to believe, which is all
the same, that Bently should be endorsed.
The war has been transferred to the floor Of
Congress over the new bill, to stop the rob
berry which the commissioner wishes passed
into law. This plan contemplates the ex-
animation of every pensioner on the rolls,
and w elieve, all new applicants, by local
board sitting as court. This would oblige
every claimant to establish his right to a pen
sion with the same formality as he proves his
rights to debt. Itwould cost little money,
but 1t would save the government millions an
nually. This method would not injure the
deserving pensioner, but would make the
travelling very rough for the fraudulent claim
ant fthe people knew the immense bust
ness done in fraudulent pension claims, they
would call for some change to checkmate the
Williams employed in this work. Some change
in the method of proving claims has become a
necessity, ana III the absence OF anything bet
ter, we hope Mr.. Beutlys bill may become a
law.-Doylesto'c Pa, Democrat
THE AMENDED Misunderstanding to state
ments. unofficial, bat apparently authentic,
the revisers of the New Testament have made
alterations which will excite some eonsterna-
ton and no, little regret among all those
who are familiar with the authorized version.
In the Lords Prayer the concluding petition,
Deliver US from evil is changed into
Deliver us from the evil one" Half a
dozen of the most familiar texts in the New
Testament win disappear altogether. The
question, "What shall it profit man it he
shall gain the whole world and lose his own
soul = Is metamOrphosed into 'Wha' doth
IL profit man to gain the whole world and
lose bis own life?'' "Hades'' is substituted
for "hell' in two well known passages. The
inscription on the altar 80 the Unknown
God" will read 10 an Unknown God -
Apart from these textual alterations aad
omissions the reviseis have abolished the d-
visions into chapters and verses and printed
the new version in paragraphs. Pail Mall

NIischLefin the Air.

We cannot analyze the aerial poisons that pro-
duce epidemic and endemic diseases but the
valuable discoveries which have been made in
vegetable pharmacy enable us to counterfeit their
malifc influence. The most powerful known an
tidote to every species of malaria is Hostetters
Stomach Bitters, pure botanical medicine in
which the finest anti-septics, tonics, alternatives,
and stimulants of the vegetable kingdom are
skillfully and effectively combined At seasons of
the year when the atmosphere is surcharged with
miasma, and whenever the specific viius of any
infectious disease is supposed to be present in the
air, this famous corrective should be taken reg
ularly protective. All who choose to observe
this precaution may bid defiance TO intermittent
and remttent fevers, and, in fact, to all disorders
generated by foul exhalations or impure water.
