Bible Revision.

Concerning the revision of the BIZ
BILE the Christian Union says: "The
work is rapidly drawing to a close.
The New Testament will be publish
cd by itself The Old Testament can
not, properly be issued before 1883,
owing to its greater bulk. If I'VE
should indulge in predictions we
should likely say that prcjudiccd
minds will object to many more
changes that viii be found, because
some familiar phrases, like She who
letteth will let will, we doubt not,
be rubbed out, and something better
inserted. But thoughtful persons,
and those who desire the meaning Of
the Greek original, cannot but be
pleased with translation in which
tOrty-one Greek scholars Of all Chris
tan crceds are agreed. We are not
afraid that in style any more than in
translation these forty-one men will
20 astray and shock the Protestant
world. These men, know what is
good English, and what is dgniliod
English. They love the old English
Bible as much as Bishop Coke does,
and they will see that it is not rough
ly treated. Our advice, then, is to
keep quiet till the revised version ap-
pears, and then let us examine it, not
in the light Of our prejudices, but in
the light of scholarly common sense.

Where Oar Clock, Come rrOm.

The Yankee, says Il writer in the
Providence Or, ~ Jou,W1L has u no.
ton about ciock,--a positive weak
neSS-and his desire for new and var
led clockery is never limited, but OFT
Ell subject to the limits Of his pocket.
II he could obviatc the difficulty with
his obstinate pocket, Il new clock
would be preferable to ucW hat.-
The theory is Still ubrua that Il num-
| Der Of clocks can be made to run or
tick in unison, and many a promising
mind has come to naught by aitcmpt-
ing to demonstrate 1t, never proliling
by the example furnished by the roy
al foreigner who was Obliged to leave
his clock, for the insane asylum where
the pendulum Of his life ceased to
swing, The amount OF energy, men,
tai and physical, oblitcalcd by strik-
ing clocks and growing cocks is be-
You'd the ken of man. bat is enormous.
Nine ienlhs Of all CLOCKS are m,dc in
Connecticut, and they range in price
from 81 to 800. rae novelty clocks
are in great uCmanl and their cheap
ness places them within the reach of
all. Many are provided with han
dies and travelling cases, AMI particu-
larly used on journeys. Some of them
will tell the time OF day. For 81 or
80, however, II good timakcrpcs can
be bought. Very few clocks are inn
ported. We not only do not buy the
foreigners wares, but sell him our
own. The export Of clocks equals
1000 cases a week, most OF which 90
to London, and are there distributed.

The whole engine and running ma

The Hon. DemsIame Hornet had !
very unpleasant experience lately.
Mark Twain was adyertised 70 lecture
IN certain up-country town but for
some reason failed to get around. n
the emergency the lecture committee
decided TO employ Mr. Hornet to de-
liver his celebrated lecture On temper
ance, but 50 late in the day was this
arrangement made that no bills an
nouncing it could be circulated, and
the audience assembled expecting 70
hear the celebrated innocent. Nobody
IN the town knew Max Of had ever
heard him lecture, and they got the
notion thatlie was funny and went TO
the lecture prepared 70 laugh. Even
these on the platform, except the chair
man, thought Mr.. Hornet to be Mark,
and wheu be was introduced were not
disilIusiohed. as they thought Hornet
must be Marks real name, Is they
knew Twain was non de plume. Mr..
Hornet first remarked: "Intempcr-
ance is the curse of this country 2
The audience burst into a merry
laugh. He knew il couldn't be at bis
remarks, and thought his clothes must
be awry, and he asked the chairman
in whisper if he was all right, and
got yes for an answer. Then he
said aRum slays more than disease!S
a louder laughs He couldn't under
stand it, but went on. ''It breaks up

excited. he thought they were guy

ed as they laughed. Hornet couldn't

turned to man on the stage and said: ]:

"This is an insustln cried Hornet,
wildly dancing about. More laughter
and cries of go on, 1'wainl" And
then the chairman got the idea of the
thing and rose up and explained the
situation and the men on the stage
suddenly quit laughing and blushed
very red, and the folks in the audience
looked at each other in a mighty
sheepish way, and they quit laughing
too. And then Mr.. Hornet, being
thoroughly mad, told them he had

tirely populated by asses and idiots.

The water Cd Supplied TO Us.
How did the water in the supply reservoir
become sally by reason of the storm This
is question pertinent to every citizen Of
Savannah, and to the general health OF the
city, and consequently deserving investiga-
ton. According to the plan Of the water
works, as we have understood, there are
four water tight compartments or receiving
reservoirs, each communicating with the
river and with each other by means Of
strong water tight gates, in such manner as
to be, when closed, separate and distinct
from each other, the purpose of this division
being to permit undsturbed sedimentary
deposits in three Of these reservoirs, while
pure water is supplied to the city in turn
from the fourth. II this be so, how Is it
that sea water, even though driven up by
the gale to the head of Argyle Island, nine
miles above the city, could get into the
four compartments, and especially into the
one tn use? Is there a defect in the con-
struction Of the receiving reservoirs The
universal importance of the subject attracts
public attention to It. w.

The fine steamer City Point, which left
jacksonville FOR Charleston on Sunday
night, put into this port yesterday morning,
and came up to the city, having lost her
starboard wheel. On Monday after
noon, about Eve o'clock, when on SapelO,
the accident occurred. The sea wss not
rough, nor had she encountered any severe
weather. IL is presumed the accident oc-
CURED from some portion Of the machinery

Immediately sank, and was not recovered.
She continued on her voyage, however, but
the wind freshening up considerably, aud
the sea becoming very rough, the Captain
deemed e advisable to put into this port.
She made the passage 70 this city, It is
stated, Just as quick as she would have done
with two wheels. The steamer will leave
This morning for her destination
