TIE LIKE NEVER SEEN BEFORE.
Hungry Republicans OTerrunning
the white House and Depart
mentss

Washington Special to the Nsac York Herald.
Tue pressure brought to bear upon
President Garfield and Secretary Blaine
for Office would crush men of ordinary
physical endurance. Both of these gen.
tlemen were the most genial of Congress
men, and now that they have the diStri-
button of some patronage legion of old
friends seem to think they are doing the
administration q favor by personally
presenting their claim or the claim of
some near and dear friend. A majority
of the office seekers act under the belief
that Mr.. Blaine is the Hercu-
les of the Cabinet and that
the way to success is via the State
Department This solemn, almost sepul
chral, edifice is daily overrun with visi-
tors who have q right, they claim, to go
in at any time. know not with what
to compare the ante-room of the Secre-
tary' Is Office TO unless TO the waiting room
Of a dental college on free days, when
the poor get their teeth pulled for moth
ing. The anxious look on every waiting
face and the agonizing dread of suspense
which follows the interview tells the tale
of profitless adventure. To-day Secre-
tary Blaine actually had to hide himself
from the crowd of importunate friends,
who, under the pretence of merely call
ing to pay their respects, expected to
have them paid back again with promise
of Office.
Not only at the White House and
State Department, but in every depart
ment the pressure is the same. No
member of the Cabinet could have fewer
claimants for position than the new Sec
rotary of the Navy. His years have
been spent in legal practice, aud yet
friends, relatives, personal acquaintances
and alleged former associates multiplied
SO fast today that 1T was necessary to
lock the doors to keep the mob outside.
Mr.. Muse, who in over fifty years has
opened the door to the callers of thirty
Secretaries of the Navy, says he never
saw anything like it. The President and
Cabinet have agreed to say to every ap-
plicant that unless for just cause or
where the commission of the applicant
had expired, there would be no changes
whatever in any department of the civil
service.
TO begin with, there is not position
in the diplomatic and consular service
that has not an applicant to fill it from
Indiana. Yes from Minister to Eng
land down to the lowest consulship.
The entire consular and diplomatic ser
vice can be replaced, officially, in twen-
ty-four hours notice. Talk about our
volunteer army in time of war; what is
it compared TO the grand army of patri-
OTIS who need the 9gis of their govern
ment in foreign parts? There are, verita-
bly,, eighteen candidates for the Mexican
mission.

Salamonsky's famous circus has re-
Gently visited Moscow, and there given
series of performances, the chief at
fractions of which were a lovely trapezist
named Emma Jutau and a learned pig,
exhibited nightly by Tanti, the leading
clown of the establishment. Two Of
Moscow's wealthiest and most extrava-
CANT "curled darlings" have greatly dis
tinguished themselves in connection with
these professional celebrities Having
ascertained that Mile. Jutau had taken a
violent fancy to a particular horse be-
longing to Salamonsky's performing
stud, they promptly purchased the ami
NAL for $500 and presented it 10 her.
1t then occurred TO them that they would
Ike to eat the learned pig; so they open
ed negotiations with SIgnor Tanti, its
guide, philosopher and friend, for the
acquisition of that accomplished creature.
Tanti, who loved his pig and was senti
mentally reluctant to part with it, set
upon it, more in jest than earnest, a price
SO cxtravagant-e200-as to be, in his
opinion, absolutely prohib tive. The
''eccentrics, however, closed with him
at once, paid for the pig, conveyed it to
the Hermitage restaurant, caused it there
to be slaughtered, roasted whole, and
served up as c0cls0n roti Ia Idnti, under
which culinary designation they partook
of it heartily.

THE NEW BIBLE.
100000 Errors Found fia the old
One.


President Chase. Of Haverford College,
a member of the American branch OF the
committee on the revision of the New
Testament. lectured on the subject OF
that work in the hall of the Academy Of
Fine Arts, at Philadelphia. last week.
He gave reasons to show why the pres
ent revisers claimed superior knowledge
to the older translators of the New Tesla
ment IN regard to the genuine original
text His next step was to demonstrate
how that original text became perverted
and how il could be restored. He said
that in spite Of the great care and watch
fulness, curious and sometimes shocking
misprints have on various occasions
crept In Variations and errors crept
in TO the amount of no less than 100. 600.
AT first hearing this number startles us.
We almost tremble for our precious In.
heritance. A little examination, how.
ever, reduces its terrors. Ninety-nine In
q hundred are slight errors, which do
not much affect The meaning: so that the
whole number of reading in which there
is really any room for serious doubt or
discussion-includIng questions of mere
spelling, grammatical forms, relative
position of words and the like-does not
exceed from ], 600 to ?, 000 The general
principle upon which the revision Is
made is a sound one; retain ar
chaic words as well as archaic
forms, where there is no danger of
their meaning being misconstrued,
but if there is any serious dan-
ger of this kind substitute for
them words intelligible t5 the common
reader at this day. In judging the new
revision when it appears, care should be
taken to free the mind from the inevita-
Bile prejudice in favor of the reading and
rendering in King James Bible, arising
from familiarity. Even the imperfections
in our English Bible have become hal
lowed in our minds by the perfections
with which they are surrounded, and in
book in which every line and every
word has become precious 10 our souls
We are, at first thought jealous of even
the slightest alteration. But remember
that the reVisers have not themselves
made any of the readings wherein the
new Bible will differ from the old YER
sion. They have only found them and
| collected them from the most authentic
sources, and thus presented Bible
nearer the original and older than the
| old. III we are convinced that
nothing has been taken away except
for the purpose of removing the
paste from the diamonds ard the pinch
beck from the gold; that nothing has
been altered except TO restore to its origi-
nal form and direction what had been
hammered into another shape or bent out
of the way, think we shall accept with
thankfulness book of which we may
say with great, if not with absolute con-
fidence: "Here are no interpretations OF
mistranslations; here are the genuine
words of Divine without
addition, without diminution, without
perversion. AS for the amount of
change, those who are expecting to see
great difference between tie new Bible
and the old will be more disappointed
than those who hope there will be very
little.

The Tunnel from France to England.

0OOk " OJUo-
Such has been the progress of engi-
neering science that thorough ventila-
ton, either during construction or for
the permanent submarine railway, has
not been considered by either English or
French engineers as presenting any in
superable difficulty. Mr. Hawes, the
original protector, is even sanguine as to
the ultimate success of this Channel tun-
nel as financial operation. It is first of
all proposed to make shafts and carry
preliminary driftways on small scale,
to such a distance under the sea as would
decide the practicability of the enter
prise on larger scale. These prelimi-
nary works he estimates at EGO, ,000
and he observes that the estimate for the
tunnel itself is ten millions. On this
point we cannot do better than quote
the words of the protector of the plan
himself, given in Mr.. Hawes' pamphlet:
"With regard to this project, it might
be well to state that the cost, which had
been put at ten millions, for the con-
struction of the railway beneath the
channel, though it appeared large sum,
really embraced about ten miles of rail
way ON each side. In order to get to the
tunnel, the railway would have to be
commenced in the town of Dover, where
very large station would have to be
made, and run from point to point along
the coast till it turned down near the
South Foreland. When it emerged on
the other side on the French coast, sew
eral miles of railway would also have
to be made to join it with the
Northern of France line, so as to he
able to get to Paris and Belgium.
In fact, the capital of ten millions
would be for about thirty one miles of
railway in all. That would make the
railway cost $1,000 per mile, about
one-thhd the cost of the Metropolitan
Railway, and about one-sixth the cost of
the railway from Charing Cross to Can
non street and London Bridge, which he
had himself constructed, SO that it was
not so formidable as it at first sight ap-
peared."

HOW SHE cor HER HUBBY HOME.
A Charming Lobbyist Robbed OF Her
Escort nc the Inauguration Ball.

HashinetoR Special to the Boston Herald.
The Chronicle records the following
incident as having occurred in front of
the National Museum on last Friday
night: While boozy ''cRbby" was curled
up inside his hack, he was awakened by
the door being pulled suddenly open and
hand jerking at his coat in quick,
imperative manner.
Wake upl wake upl for Gods
sakel' said q startled voice that, In a
calmer moment. would have been sill
very sweet. Come with me, and I'll
give yon $50"
The dazed driver of the vehicle raised
his weary head, and his eyes fell upon
beautiful face, frightened blue eyes and
trembling lips-a glorious woman, who
was all excitement.
My name is ---. You know me;
you took my husband and myself to
-, mentioning grand party that oc-
CURED recently. Now he is here with
another woman. o. heavenl that

the carriage; will send one of the Off
GERS to tell him that a man is waiting to
see him for moment out here. When
he comes to the door of the hack I'll
make him get in, and then you drive
off"
In vain the driver expostulated, and
said that he was engaged to stay there
and get his party. The poor woman
would not take no for an answer, and
the sight of crisp new bank note so
excited the avaricious desires of the
haekman that he complied, and drove
the wife as near the main door as he
could get. She got out and hurriedly
spoke to a man in attendance. In a
moment he was gone, and ere long he
returned with a gentleman, who made
his way to the carriage where his "gen-
tleman friend" was supposed to be await
ing him. There were some hasty, ex
cited words, the man denied and expos.
tulated, but the wife would not be rea-
soned with. He returned and q few
minutes later came out with his overcoat
and hat. He got in that carriage and
was whirled up towards the northwestern
section of the city. A noted and charm
ing lobbyist was minus her escort and
the wife possessed her own.
