The Philadelphia Times Washing
ton correspondent does not believe that
MacVeagh will stay in the Cabinet a
single year, having already shown sniff
Gent Independence to make it disagree
able for the President, and causing that
great man, it is said, 10 become very
angry. To have the happy family so
soon transformed into beer garden
would be inexpressibly sad.

iD@ THE Doc TAX-lt is said that a
question has arisen in regard to the as
sessment of the dog tax this year in
cases where Assessors have gone over
the ground and completed portion OF
their assessment prior to the passage
and publication of the law imposing the
tax in certain counties. The question
is whether such Assessors are expected
to go over the ground again and assess
the taxes. The understanding is, the
Wheeling MinHgencer says, that they
will be expected TO retrace their steps
and assess the tax, inasmuch as the law
takes effect from its passage, and mas,
much as an assessment isalways subject
TO amendment until a return in due
form has been made 10 the proper au-
thority.

Philadelphia papers announce that Miss
Louisa Montague. of New York, ava
riety actress, has been awarded the
prize OF $4,000 as the most beautiful
contesting for the prize offered by Mr..
Adam Forepaugh, the Snowman. She
is to make her appearance only in the

described by the Philadelphia North

beauty is that she is demi-bloude with
classic features, a charming blue eye and
. beautiful light complexion. OF me
dunn height, she possesses full aud
symmetrical figure. Her weight is l47
pounds. 4 mass of wavy dark chest
nut hair, combed well down over the
narrow Greclan forehead, gives her a
somewhat natronly air although it adds
tenfold to her beauty. One of the
charmes of her face is her magnificent
teeth, which she shows to advantage
when in conversation. Mss Montague
is twenty one years of age.

THE ROUND OF LIFE.

Two children down by the shining strand,
With eyes as blue as the summer sea,
While the sinking sun fills ali the land
With the glow OF a golden mystery,
Laughing aloud at the seamew's cry,
Gazing with JOY on its snowy breast,
Till the first star looks from the evening
sky,
And the amber lines stretch over the
west
A soft green dell by the breezy shore,
A sailor and maiden fair;
Hand clasped in hand, while the tale of
yore
Is borne again on the listening air,
For love is young, though love be old,
And love alone the heart can ill:
And the dear old tale that has been told
In the days gone by, is spoken still.
A trim-built home on sheltered bay;
A wife looking out on the glistenins
sea;
A prayer for the loved one far away,
And prattling imps meath the old roof
tree;
A lifted latch and radiant face
By the open door in the falling night;
A welcome home and warm embrace
From the love of his youth and his
children bright.
An aged man in an old armchair;
A golden light from the western sky;
His wife by his side, with her silvered hair,
And the open Book Of God close by.
Sweet on the bay the cleaning falls,
And bright is the glow Of the evening
star;
But dearer to them are the jasper walls
And the golden streets Of the Land afar.
An old churchyard on the green hillside,
Two lying still in their peaceful rest;
The fsherman's boats going out with the
tide
In the fiery glow Of the amber west.
Children's laughter and old mems signs,
The night that follows the morning
clear
A rainbow bridging our darkened skies,
Are the round Of our lives from year to
year Chambers journal.

THE REVISED TEsTAMENT.
The Work Condemned by New Haven
Clergyman as Family.

New HAVEN, November 2G.-The
enthusiasm with which the Plotes-
tant clergymen of this city approved
the re. ON OF the New Testament
seems to have abated. After more
careful examination OF the. work the
resident clergyrnenAare almost unani-
nous in the. opinion that the revision
will not be adopted by3 churches Or
scholars. The clergymen Of the Epis-
copal denomination neither officially
nor individually approved the revi-
sion, and the tabovo state ment is not
intended to include them. At II re-
cent meeting Of the Protestant cler-
gymen in this city, held at Centre
Church, the subject vas treedy. dis
~ sifss'ssscfsas..his rSsetrns-
was confidential, enough has come to
the pnblicistoi i.show they are very
much dissatisfied with the rcsielo.l.
Ali the ciergymen present acknowl.
edged the necessity Of the King
James translation, andswere equally
unanimous in the opinion that the
recent revision was too faulty to be
adopted. The great burden Of the
criticism upon the revision was in re-
Iatlon to its bad English, and the
Rev. DIR. John E. Todd, Of the
Church Of the Redeemer, said that he
had counted $50 instances oil bad
English in one Of the Eli is'les oil Pau
to the Corinthians. A revision SO
faulty,sshe said, could not be ap-
proved by scholars Of this age. The
Rev. Samuel w. Barnum and the
Rev. DR.. Dennen criticised the revi-
sion upon the same ground. No
church in this city has adopted the
revision in public worship. and many
people who have used it in family
worship have discarded It, and re.
turned to the version of 1911. There
has been little public adverse crit
cism upon the revision, yet, 1t being
the opinion among scholars that it is
faulty, no help is needed to hasten it
into obscurity. Scholars Of this city
state that the suggestions made by the
American members of the Revising
Committee were much better thar
those adopted by the English revisers.
The Rev. Dr.. Leonard Bacon was
asked to-day about the meeting. He
said he knew noting about it, and
when told the attendants at the
meeting were unanimously against
the revision, remarked: $50 much
the worse FOR them.

The open consumption Of horse
flesh Is decidedly extensive in Ger
many, and is growing. Il Very care
lul supervision is exercised over the
trade in Berlin. The inspector has a
list of the stables where the existence
of any contagious disease has bevn
reported, and if he finds that the ali
NAL brought before him comes from
any Of these, a prosecution agains'
the seller is 1T once instituted Shonld
tie horse be found by the veterinary
surgeons to be suffering from any dis
ease not contagious, it Is at once
killed; but the body is sent TO the
Geological Gardens. The Berlin
butcher pays about $1,000 for II piece
OF horstneah weighing from 80 to
500 pounds, but he retails it at ~
cents a pound Tor the iilet, T.! cents
per onnd for other pieces, and .
cents for parts only fit to be made
into eausages; ahd as horaeaesh is
naturally very dry, good deal Of it
can be only utilized by being mixed
with lard and converted into sausages
which, it may be added, are, it il
shrewdly suspected, largely consumed
by persons who are little aware o
what they are eating. In one or two
other German towns the consumption
of hors, flesh is, in proportion to thei1
population, even larger than in Ber
lin. In Breslau, for instance, towr
with 100000 inhabitants, 1900 horse,
are killed annually for the market
and in i ltona, with population o
100000, the number reaches | 800
In the western province, on the othe,

even in the mole densely peoplet
townsville average number OF horse
killed annually in Dortmund beinl
only 30, and in Bielefeld 100.
