It is thought that unless it is reversed on appeal Judge Van Brunt's decision in the suit brought by ''the Shepherds Fold'' against the city of New York must lead to thorough revision of the list of charitable institutions now receiving aid from the city, and to 8 considerable reduction of their number. It is held that under section 10 of Article VIII.
 of the Constitution, as amended in 1874, no private charitable institution other than those which provide for the support of the blind, deaf and dumb or juvenile delinquents can be aided from the city treasury. Among the various asylums, protecto1ies, etc, which divide this year over $1 ,ooo, 900 of the public money, there are many which have not the specified qualifications.

The Revised New Testament.

[From the Springfield Republican
 The Anglo-American revision of the New Testament has been published in England for these two days the Queen has had her first splendid copy, the scholars and the clergy are reading it with the authorized version in hand, and now to-day America has opened the first invoice of the book sent over from the Oxford university press, which has been at work for months getting ready for the enormous popular demand. The gates are opened and the flood will come more than one publisher is prepared to pirate and print editions of the New Testament in every shape and at prices from 15 cents up to as many dollars. The regular university ed1- tions will be as cheap as any that the Ameri- can publishers can get out, and their accu- racy is warrantable as that of no rival can be, while the English publishers really have a moral claim for patronage in the fact that they assumed the payment of the large ex- penses of the British committee. The American revisers paid their own expenses from voluntary contributions, and decided that they would not obtain a copyright, as they might have done, but leave the new version free as the old is. There have been many hundreds of thousands of Bibles and New Testaments sold and given away in this country, but that is nothing to what there will be now, when some of the big city papers even talk of printing the revision en- tire in their regular issue. Great pains have been taken to seclude the new version from the public till this time, and though every American reviser has had copy it has been under solemn pledge not to reveal any thing about it. Somebody leaked in Eng writ en thence about the work; one paper in this country in fact published a few days ago several columns of parallel passages from new and old, "cabled" by one of it's editors resident in London, :" which, so far as the revision is concerned, was mere guess-work, some good and some bad An interesting and concise treat ise, called a s'Companion to the Revised Yer sion of the New Testament" i" is published by l.

 Dr. Roberts shows plainly what reasons there were for making revision of the Eng lish Bible what materials there exist for the work and how it has been done.

VI class is g, queer mixture of indifference and sentimental pity. eo While not one in thou sand has, taken the pains to see the in side of an almshouse, there is yet prevalent idea that almshouses, for the most part, shel- ter the unhappy and guiltless; poor, whom unmerciful disaster has followed fast and followed faster until it has chased them to this last refuge,-people who have come from vine-covered cottages or tidy rooms up one flight of stairs in tenement houses, with, g big Bible on the table and g pot of flowers in the window, or ! even from luxurious - homes deso- lated by, commercial panics. As a
 matter of fact, the great majority of Ameri- can indoor paupers belong to what are called the lowest classes, and seek, the almshouse not because of unmerciful disaster, but be- cause of very common vices. Between half and two-thirds of them are of foreign birth. She thinks that it is liberal estimate to put down one-tenth of the paupers as deserving of sympathy, and that the other nine-tenths are in the almsheuse because they have not wit enough or energy enough to get into prison. 1y-~--s z-i -}-'. ..-'satsf-'t} ca The Louisville Courier-sJournaJ reluctant ly'' but severely criticises Jeff Davis.

From the first it was 8 paradox, and not very brilliant paradox.

 Our Louisville contemporary thinks that Mir. Davis should leave the history and ra- tionaIe of the question out of the account. He and his associates for the time ruined the South-only for the time.

A parcel post has just been established in England by Postmaster General Fawcett, and an international agreement has recently been completed between France, Germany, Belgium and Switzerland for parcel post between these countries. In both instances, the postofice proposes to do general ex- press business at fixed charge for small packages up to certain weight. In France, this charge is to be 22 cents for packages up to six pounds in weight not over 24 inches square in any direction. This is altogether different from the postal charge for carrying merchandise in this country, which is so ar ranged as to give the express companies the profit on the short distances, and the govern ment the loss on the long ones. The French charge is only for railroad points, an in crease of about 50 per cent. is made for de- iveries at distence from railroad stations.
