A Bible for the Baptists.

The late revision of the New Tes-
lament has not given complete salts
faction to the members of the Baptist
communion in the country, and it is
now purposed to issue a new edition.
which shall be gotten up directly I'M
der their own auspices. The project
has been in contemplation for some
time and it is stated that two different
houses have made an offer Of the nec-
essary plates to the American Baptist
Publication Society, which is to have
control of the printing and distribu-
ton ofthe work. Rev. DR.. Howard
Griffith, Secretary of the Publication
Society, said yesterday that there
seemed to be general demand for
such a work and that no doubt il
would sell very well. The society has
not yet determined, he said, on the
form in which the edition shall be
brought out. These plans are under
consideration, the basis of all being
the incorporation in the text Of the
rejected suggestions of the American
Committee on the revision that are
now printed in an appendix. The dis
placed English changes will then be
printed either as foot notes or in an
appendix. The third plan is the
printing of the King James and the
American versions in parallel columns
1t is possible that three separate edi.
tions may be published. Rev. DR.
Geo. w. Anderson, the editor of the
Baptist Publication Society, and Rev,
DR.. Henry G.. Weston, Of Croziei
Seminary, will supervise the arrange
ment of the work. 1t is expected
that a hundred thousand copies Of
more can easily be sold.

PEOPLE wers quite stunned and hor-
ri6ed this forenoon to hear that an at
tempt had been made on President
Gar6eld's life; clap of thunder in a
clear sky, the conclusion of comet,
or earth quake or other great phenom-
enon in nature would not have taken
the public more completely by sur
prise. After the first sensation Of
dumb astonishment every mind rever-
ted instinctly to the assassination Of
President Lincoln over sixteen
years ago, which brought
sorrow and misfortune upon
so many. Yet this does not seem to
be a SIMILAR event. The would.be
assassin is a foreigner, who had sought
in vain an appointment abroad. His
mind was evidently affected and dis
eased, he brooded over fancied wrongs
and deliberately planned the assassi
nation of the President. Such men
always have a method in their mad
ness. Public sympathy goes out with
one accord to the victim of this
madman or fanatic and the
tenderest hope is felt by all
alike that he will survive.
The assassin went about his terrible
work in a business like way, he made
no mistake in carrying out his idea.
When the truth is known, it will
very likely appear that he belongs to
a school Of assassins and communists
transrlanted to this country from
Europe. In the excitement and haste
extended comments are not in order
but tonight popular sympathy and
feeling will be expressed in a full
mass meeting on the bluff.

A Walking Aut0naton.

After long and patient labor. very
ingenious automaton, says the Sydney
(Australia) Herald, has been completed
by MIR. Hornburg, Of Sydney. It's spe-
cialty is that it walks-walks in the same
style. and with much the same motion.
as o human being does. The place .oc-
cupied, by lungs, heart. and other indis-
pensable organs in the human frame
are represented in Frankenstein-Mr.
Hornburg's creat1en-by machineryi;
and the rafting and gasping sounds
which emanate from him would be any
thing but reassuring if they followed the
exertion Of gentle walking when under
taken by an ordinary person. Franken-
stein is about five feet six inches high !:
his motive power is steam, supplied to
him by means Of horizontal tubs, on
which one hand rests. This tube is con
nected at one end with a tall upright ex-
haust pipe, into which the steam from q
little engine close by passes. As the
automaton man moves, an eccentric in
the hip revolves. and lever action bends
the knee, raises the toes from the ground
and throws the foot forward. Then the
foot drops, and the other one repeats
the action, the imitation Of walking be-
ing very good.

Austrian Women.

Women in Austria perform the duties
of bricklayers, laDorers, and may be
seen carrying hods Of mortar and bas-
kets Of bricks up high ladders. More
than this, they actually supply the place
of navvies, and dig and wheel barrows of
"ballast'' as nimbly as their lords. They
chop wood, they carry water, they offer
to black our boots in the streets; and
perform many other little offices which,
according to our notions, hardly come
under the denomination of "women's
work. Perhaps this state of things is
unavoidable in O country where it is con-
sidered necessary to keep a standing
army of 100000 men. The women
work inordinately hard, while hundreds
OF idle men are constantly sauntering
about in various uniforms, doing moth
ing at all except perhaps blowing
cloud Of tobacco smoke. ,.

The Worlds Fair.

The prospectus of the Commission
ers of the Worlds Fair to be held at
New Y ork in 1883, predicts that the
city will receive 100000 visitors,
who will stay five days each and spend
each SIS. As many more transient
visitors are promised. These visitors
are to pay for their transportation in
coming and going about 1915, 600, 900 or

each would be twenty cents for the
round trip, and that on the basis of
the estimated attendance, would
amount to $5,OOO,OOO. At the Phila-
delphia fair the attendance was 1910.
