THE REVISED NEW TESTAMENT
AnAmerican Edition of this long looked
for work is announced by the enterpris
ing and reliable house of HUBBARD
BROTHERS, Of Phila. 1t is to be an
exact reproduction of the English Edi-
ton. and from the well known charac-
ter of the house, accuracy and a really
excellent book may confidently be eX-
pected. A special attraction Of this
edition, we learn, is that it will contain
a complete History of the whole Revi-
sion Movement, the reasons fOr it, the
errors Of the old version, the plan Of the
work, with sketches of the distinguish
ed men engaged in it, sc. The Eng
lish edition will not contain this, and
certainly everyone will want to know
all about it. AS the price Of this edi-
ton, containing both the Testament
and History, is placed extremely low,
it seems certain to become decidedly
the most popular, because the most de-
sirable edition issued, at positively
low price.

GENERAL BRADY, late Second AS
sistant Post Master General, has pub.
lished card in the New Y York Herald,
in which he challenges the fullest in
vestigation'' of the charges against
him, and it is quite safe to say that he
will soon get all the investigation he
wants, and perhaps little more. The
gigantic Star-route frauds have been no
secret to the newspapers for more than
a year, but the Administration that
was Landed as being so ''pure and
good'' closed its eyes to the rascality of
Brady and others, and, by some means,
an investigation was STAYED off. The
facts in the case are as follows: The
appropriation for the Star-route service
for the last fiscal year was S., 900, 900.
Of this amount S3,O97, 1856 were paid
for 9, 1872 routes, while 2,902, PA went
to 90 routes. The contracts for these
90 routes were let for S729, 119 a year,
in the aggregate, but Immediately after,
on the shallow pretense of the need of
faster and more frequent service,
the compensation was increased to
81, ,8O2, PA. All these 93 routes are in
remote places, such as Dakota, Mon
tana, Arizona, and similar back-woOds
sections, and are held by few favored
contractors. Among the number is
one Dorsey, brother Of the Secretary of
